No. 1/January 2, 2010 Major stories have impact on both Caledonia village, township in 2009 fl ssiliV r/ lacq by Fran Faverman Staff Writer For the township and the Village of Caledonia some events and decisions this past year affect both commu- nities; those events will be detailed first. Events prima­ rily affecting one community will be discussed under the appropriate headings. The most important event Caledonia. Two previous attempts to pass a millage to build a new' facility had failed.

David Doyle and John Barfuss, political consultants, advised the political campaign committee chaired by Ellen Wilder. The cam­ paign’s catchy slogan. "Long Overdue,” in the purple and gold colors of Caledonia High School became visible everywhere. On May 5, the work paid off; almost 24 per­ cent of the electorate had turned out and the millage proposal passed by a 1,578 to 592 vote. While the facility will be owned by the township. which will be responsible for its operating costs, the facili­ ty will be located within the Village of Caledonia Centre Mall. Thus the work of rezoning the property and approving the site plan was the responsibility of the of Village ot Caledonia Planning Commission and the Village Council of Caledonia. Those functions performed were in November and December by the commission and the council. A second major event was a set of goals affecting both governments presented by Harrison. Among them were suggestions for closer cooperation between the village J See CALEDONIA, pg. 2 Looking back at 2009 from the perspective of the TK schools the economic realty at the Thornapple-Kellogg School by Patricia Johns end of the year.

It was. "Connect to a public water system or drill a new well.” The health department modified its position when Caledonia supervisor Bryan Harrison was able to convince them that a new library facility would be built within two years if the current cam­ paign for both private funds and passage of a proposed millage were successful. Following a lengthy post­ mortem on the previous millage election, it was deter­ mined that a significant rea­ son for the failure was the proposal to fund a new facil­ ity entirely through tax dol­ lars; there had been no attempts to raise private funds beyond those raised through the years by the local nonprofit organization called the Friends of the Library. A reconstituted library committee made its first order of business determining the feasibility of a capital campaign to raise private dollars. The Committee for a New Library for Caledonia became the steering commit­ tee for the fundraising effort. The campaign was success­ ful and almost a million dol­ lars were raised. The committee also pared more than $500,000 in costs from the facility, reducing the estimated cost to approximately $3,825 million.

Some of them have been made possi­ ble by recent changes in state law, changes that are designed to facilitate inter­ governmental cooperation. He recommended the estab­ lishment of a joint planning commission and a joint zon­ ing board of appeals to serve both communities. He also supported investigating a joint downtown develop­ ment authority as well as harmonizing some ordi­ nances, observing that it made no sense to have differ­ ent regulations governing the same functions on opposite sides of the road. Although preliminary dis­ cussions were held on har­ monizing ordinances and creating a joint, planning commission and a joint ZBA, neither legislative body has taken them up. In fact, the discussions led the village to conclude unoffi­ cially a joint planning com­ mission would actually increase its costs for plan­ ning functions because the village is so nearly fully developed. An idea that did result in a joint effort was the develop­ ment of a master plan for parks and recreation. The village had begun its master plan for parks and recreation late in 2008. In the winter of the 2009, township approached the village and suggested they do the plan jointly since a master plan for parks and recreation is now required in order to be eligible for certain grants. Village officials agreed and a joint plan was developed and adopted by both govern­ ments in late summer. A third event is the deci­ sion by the township to begin a serious exploration of the feasibility of moving its offices from the currently shared space at 250 Maple Street to the vacant space in the fire barn at 8192 Broadmoor/Cherry Valley Avenue. Funds have been set aside in the township budget for 2010 to permit remodel­ ing of the space to begin. This may leave the Village of Caledonia with some deci­ sions to make about the building. Both communities benefit from the activities of service clubs. The Kiwanis Club of Caledonia sponsored the car­ nival in the spring and partic­ ipated in safety programs aimed at children and teens. The car seat check done in cooperation with Safe Kids was a popular part of the annual open house spon­ sored by the Caledonia Fire Department in the fall. The recent addition of Rotary Club to Caledonia will mean the more service projects. The General Federation of Women's Clubs is represent­ ed by the Caledonia women's Club, which sponsors schol­ arships for young women graduating from Caledonia High School. The Village of Caledonia Perhaps the best news the of Village Caledonia received all year was the news that the 245 Kinsey Street lawsuit, which had its beginnings in 2003, was finally over. Not only had the state Court of Appeals upheld earlier the decision handed down by Judge Kolenda in the Kent County Circuit Court, but the Michigan Supreme Court had refused in May to allow an appeal. Responding to increasing difficulties in finding people willing to assume or volun­ teer for positions on various boards, commissions, and committees, the Village Council of Caledonia took action to solve one of its problems. A change in the Michigan Zoning Enabling Act now allows village gov­ ernments to abolish separate boards of zoning appeals and to place that function within the village council. The council voted in December to accept a recommendation from the Planning Commission to abolish thej board and to assume the function itself. Following the resignation of Michael Maviglia from the council in October 2008. applied for a permit to Sharon Mortensen, a former rebuild the home destroyed member of the Planning by fire in March.

Caledonia township The most significant event for Caledonia township this past year wzas the decision by the Farmers Fanners Insurance Company to spend approxi mately $84,000,000 to expand existing facilities of its Foremost Insurance Company subsidiary located in the % Kraft Office Park. The new project was announced in June and a groundbreak­ ing ceremony occurred on Sept. 28. While the project was made possible by a $62 million-dollar tax break from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, and a break on the personal property taxes on equipment. Caledonia township expects to benefit ultimately. Tied into the deal is the expecta­ tion that 1,600 decently pay­ ing jobs will eventually result from the project. The project will add two new structures and over 237,000 square feet of physical plant to the current complex. Davenport University in Caledonia underwent a tran­ sitional period as its board of trustees searched for a new president. Dr. Richard J. Pappas became the school's president this past summer. Among the objectives of his administration is the contin­ uation and furtherance of relationships within the com­ munity. A new residence hall on the campus, dedicated to the Meijer family, was opened this fall. Township government underwent changes this past year. The post of township planner/manager was eliminated by the board of trustees following the departure of David Zylstra. Staffing of the planning function has been handled on an interim basis by the township engi­ neering firm, Wilcox Professional Associates. In line with his goals expressed at the beginning of the year, Harrison pushed for a request for quotation for a planner or consultant to advise the township on the establishment of a down­ town development authority, While no decision has been ----made, several proposals have been received and are currently being evaluated. The board also approved the posting of a position, admin­ •It istrative for assistant, Harrison. In line with the recently approved master plan for parks and recreation, the board at its last meeting awarded a contract for a feasibility study to Prein & Newhof, an engineering firm with experience in designing and building non-motorized trails. Other governmental activ­ ities have felt the impact of the recession. Treasurer Richard Robertson noted that the building department, which has been funded by fees charged to developers and others who needed its services, is no longer cover­ ing its costs. There has also been some loss of tax rev­ enue due to foreclosures. While township finances are in very good shape, according to him, Robertson has warned of flattening rev­ enues and the need to pursue conservative fiscal policies. He has also devoted consid­ erable effort to rationalizing several township funds. The 2009 budget reflected some of this activity through the establishment of a revolving township improvement fund. Money from that fund could be used to finance renova­ tions of unused space at the fire barn for township offices. As the township has grown, so has the need for emergency services.. The provision of emergency fire, medical, and police services is funded by a dedicated 1.5 mill levy. The Caledonia Fire Department continues has three full-time employ­ ees , one part-time, and 17 paid-on-call personnel. Police services are provided through contracts with the Kent County Sheriffs Department. The Public Safety Advisory Committee (PSAC) oversees the provi­ sion of the services and makes recommendations to the township board of trustees. The switch of the contract for emergency dispatch serv­ ices from the City of Grand Rapids to the Kent County Sheriff’s Department's Dispatch Center this past year illustrates how the com­ mittee functions. Months were spent studying the facilities before the commit­ tee recommended the change to the township board. While it does not represent a cost savings, the new arrange­ ment is designed for more rapid and improved services to the fire department. A new fund was created within the fire department to provide for the replacement of equipment. The fund is distinct from an existing fund, which is focused on replacing and adding to major equipment such as fire engines and other vehicles. The new fund is focused on replacing equipment such as turnout gear and air packs. The annual open house sponsored by the department and held in October in conjunction with National Fire Prevention Week was an opportunity for people to see the value provided by their tax dollars. While the busi­ ness of public safety was the focus of the event, fun was also included as children and adults have the opportunity to examine equipment close­ ly. One of the most popular .activities this year was an interactive treasure hunt. Seven questions had to be answered to receive a prize; participants had to find members of the department and solicit their help to get the correct: answers. The highlight of this year's event was a ceremony honor­ ing nine retiring firefighters. The nine men had con­ tributed service to the com­ munity for a total of more than 320 man-years. Each received an inscribed plaque listing dates of service and a See CALEDONIA, Pg. 5 i *■ I 11$ lt I AA. J.I JI’ H• uis1 II ?!S o -S; ■ S3 �The Sun and News. Saturday.

Lee Elementary received a green school award on Earth Day, 2009. The school con­ tinues to work with high school students and local businesses to become even more green. Lee Elementary school hosted Donuts with Dads on March 26 to reach out to fathers in the community. A chess tournament at TKMS March 28 was a con­ tinuing tradition.

The Thornapple-Kellogg High School Mock Disaster was held on May 1, to remind students the impor­ tance of safe driving and how life choices they make can impact lives. There were TTES personnel, a helicopter and more on hand to lend authenicity to the event. This out-reach to the high school students will probably occur every other year. The flu was a concern beginning in May and the TK schools were closed for a day in October due to swine fiu outbreaks.

The year ended with holiday celebra­ tions. The high school raised more than $3,100 which was doubled by an anonymous donor to help residents ol the area meet need for fuel and housing. The school year ended with concerns about the future of education in Michigan still central to the administration. T-K superin­ tendent Gary Rider and par­ ents went to Lansing on Nov. 10, to voice concerns about problems w'ith funding of schools.

This year we are not giv­ ing wrapped presents in our family. We are spending lime with our family in New Jersey as our presents to our selves. Wc will continue one family tradition and discover what Santa left in our stock­ ings on Christmas morning. (Hint usually tooth brushes, tooth paste, treats and oranges.) I have been thinking about my family and family Christmas traditions. When I was growing up we ate Baby Jesus birthday cake for breakfast on Christmas morning. It was an angel food cake with whipped cream frosting. We also had relatives who lived in Florida and the other breakfast treat was having our own really big orange. When I am celebrating at home, we enjoy brunch together with stollen and fancy omelets. This Christmas in New Jersey will be the first without my moth­ er-in-law and 1 am not sure what it will be but wc will be together and that will be great. The stollen I make this year is filled with dried Michigan cherries instead of candied fruit but it is based on the recipe my mother used, so I gel to think about her as the dough rises and bakes and my kitchen smells like my memory of my childhood kitchen at Christmas. When I was growing up we put up our tree on Christmas Eve. Looking back on it I know that because we were poor, my mom wailed for the last trees on the lot to be really inex­ pensive. But knowing that decorating the tree was part of that night before made Christmas eve seem even brighter. Like some commercials are showing this year, we always got one present to open before we went to bed that night, new pajamas. Then when wc woke up wc could explore our stockings before breakfast. In New Jersey I might be going to church with my father-in-law on Christmas cvc. That is part of his tradi­ tion but it really will depend on1 the weather. Some arc predicting more bad weather for New Jersey. If we don't go to church that evening we will listen to holiday music either on the CD player or watch a telcvision channel (hat broadcasts a video of a burning fireplace accompanied by holiday tunes. We will spend Christmas dinner with Mike’s brother and sister in law and dad. Then on Saturday we will eat with one of my brothers and my sister and her family. We will lake lime to share our memories and traditions (they are each getting a Michigan stollen from us.) I wish you all a holiday season of shared memories.

But it' you estab­ lished an irrevocable life insurance trust (ILIT) with a new insurance policy, the trust would own the policy and distribute the proceeds to the beneficiaries you've cho­ sen. By using an ILIT. you'd keep the life insurance out of your taxable estate. Another estate planning consideration is a charitable remainder (rust, which might be useful if you have a siz­ able amount of assets, such as stocks, that have signifi­ cantly appreciated since you bought them. If you kept these assets in your estate, your heirs would inherit them on a “stepped-up basis, which, which. in plain English, means (he value of the stocks would be the same as their fair market value on the dale of your death. (However, in 2010 — and 2010 only — the step-up basis is limited to SI.3 mil­ lion for your children or other heirs and S3 million for your surviving spouse. Beyond those Figures, your heirs would assume, or carry over, your basis — the amount you paid for the assets. In 2011. full step-up is scheduled to return.) All stocks, and especially those that receive step-up treatment, could add to your heirs' estate tax burden. But you could remove the slocks from your taxable estate by SERVING OUR COUNTRY - -iu i liAi i .1 Throughout your life, you strive to provide Financial security to your family. And your efforts can extend beyond your lifetime — if you work to control estate taxes. It's always challenging to create financial strategies that are somewhat dependent on lax laws, because these laws are always changing. In 2009, your estate could have passed up to $3.5 million to your heirs before incurring federal estate taxes at a max­ imum rate of 45 percent. In 2010, the estate lax was scheduled to be repealed, but in 2011. it was supposed to return, with a maximum exemption of SI million and a top rate of 55 percent. But this may change, as Congress is considering extending the 2009 exemption and tax rate figures into 2010, 2011 and possibly even further. You might think you'll never have enough wealth to incur these taxes, but virtual­ ly every asset — your home, cars, life insurance policy, IRA and 401 (k) — may be included in your taxable estate. These assets could push your estate over the exemption amount, costing your heirs a substantial amount in estate taxes. To help address this polential problem, you might want to think about some of the following estate considerations. For example, if you owned a $1 million dollar life insurance policy, and it was subject to an estate tax rale of 45 percent, your ben- 06^005219 • • •1 z C- *• f"* " I placing them in a charitable remainder trust. Furthermore, you could receive an income stream for life once the trust sold the stocks. You could then use this income to make gifts to your loved ones, further reducing the size of your tax­ able estate. You can give up to $13,000 per year to as many individuals as you like without incurring gift taxes, up to $1 million over your lifetime. Before making any deci­ sions related to estate taxes, consult with your estate planning professional and your tax advisor. Vehicles such as life insurance trusts and charitable trusts are complex and don't lend themselves to “do-it-your­ self" solutions. Start thinking soon about » estate tax issues. By putting your estate plans in order early, you could be helping your loved ones far into the future. This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.

For several months she has been visiting senior retirement centers in the Greater Grand Rapids area, and performing mini­ concerts for the residents. Her performance is designed to be appropriate for the cur­ rent holiday season. She has Carveth at performed Hearthstone Village, Teton Assisted Living, Senior Meadows Community, Crystal Springs, Wellington Woods Senior Community, and Plainfield Senior Center. Teegardin has played more than once at several of these locations and has also played at several private events. At lhe conclusion of her performance at Carveth, Teegardin mingled with the residents and answered their questions. The residents cheered her and asked her to give them an encore performance, which she did. Teegardin started playing violin when she was in the fourth grade, receiving her first two years of instruction from Pete Deli lie, the orches­ tra director al Caledonia High School. Since entering middle school, she is in lhe school orchestra, lead by David Sowerby. She has attended the Michigan Schools Band and Orchestra Association com­ petitions three times, and has been awarded Five blue rib­ bons and one red ribbon for her performances. She has also attended Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp twice, and is planning to attend again. She is a member of the Concert Orchestra at St. Cecilia's Music Society’s School of Music under the ) direction of Dr. Mark Kotchenruther, Grand Rapids. This past summer, her school orchestra was selected to play at the Gerald R. Ford Museum for the Service To Children awards ceremony. She and a classmate also performed for the Council of lhe Arts Committee in Lake Odessa's park on July 4. Teegardin said she gives of her time to share her music with others and enjoys playing for senior citizens. She said that while she has no grandparents of her own, her friends have grandpar­ ents and that when she is around them with her friends, she notices how they interact and express their love toward each other. Since her grandparents died before she was bom. Teegardin thought by shar­ ing her music with seniors, it could feel like sharing her love, and fill a void tor herself and perhaps for them also. Besides, her music. She enjoys swimming and is a member of lhe Minnows Swim Club of Middleville. She lives with her mother and father, both whom support her musical endeavor and her mini concerts. Her parents make the contact with lhe facilities and sched­ ule the performance times. She makes most of her own music selections, listen­ ing to suggestions by her parents and her teachers. Her father helps her with the arrangement to make a pre­ sentable program. “I am thinking about some type of a music career as a long term goal,” said Teegardin.

Senior Mike Craven was sixth at 103 pounds, senior Chris Westra seventh at 189 pounds, and senior Cody Clinton fourth at 215 pounds. That championship was the second huge match in a few weeks for Dalton and Watson. TK led 9-7 when Dalton and Watson stepped to the center of the mat for their bout during the Division 2 Team District Championship at Wayland Union High School earlier in the season. The two battled to a 1-1 tie through three periods, before Watson got in on Dalton early in the overtime. As Watson lifted Dalton off the mat, Dalton’s feet slipped into a figure four around Watson's head and a penalty point gave the Saxon the win. Hastings went on to a 2523 victory. That was the sec­ ond time during the season, a dual between the two teams which shared the O-K Gold Conference crown (TK wins duals, Hastings wins tourna­ ment) came down to the final weight class. “Unbelievable.

Staff Writer From beginning to end, finance issues were preemi­ nent this past year for Community Caledonia Schools. The nearly 100square mile district began the year coping with the prospect of a freeze in state aid at $8,300 per pupil. The trimming began. Then came the news that the grant could be cut by an additional $59 per pupil. District administrators and the board of education built a very conservative budget, paring $500,000, assuming a cut of $ 110 per pupil. A retir­ ing teacher was not replaced; contracted services were reduced. Efforts to co-opera­ tively buy energy in all forms were increased. The district currently buys natu­ ral gas ;and electricity through a cooperative buy­ ing association with other school districts. The cooper­ ative purchasing of diesel fuel for the district's trans­ portation system also was considered. When the state legislature finally passed the school aid budget in the fall, three months after the school budget year began, the fund­ ing had been trimmed by For per pupil. $165 Caledonia with 4,157 stu­ dents on the September Count Day, it amounted to a reduction almost of $700,000. However, more bad news was to come. Another possi­ ble cut of $127 per pupil was announced to take effect Dec. The deadline was post­ poned at Thanksgiving; the cut was rescinded at Christmas when the Gov. Jennifer Granholm recom­ mended waiting until the Jan. 11, 2010, revenue-esti­ mating conference. While the news on the rev­ enue side was not good, the news on the expenditure side was better. Bids for items funded through the 2007 bond issue came in below expectations. Costs that had been estimat­ ed conservatively came in even lower than expected. Parking lots at the Duncan Lake Middle School and at Dutton Elementary School have been extended and refurbished. Kraft Meadows Middle School received a new:roof; inefficient lighting systems are being replaced with an estimated pay-back time of three years. And the new Paris Ridge Elementary School will be ready in the according fall; to Jerry Superintendent Phillips, the new facility will relieve pressure on the dis­ trict’s other elementary schools. Work on the CalPlex proj­ ect began. The project, consisting of 60 acres owned by the district and 20 acres purCaledonia by chased Township, represents an inti- mate collaboration between the two entities. “It is the greatest partner­ ship we have,” said Phillips. When the complex is fin­ ished, the district and the community will have base­ ball, softball, football, and soccer fields. It is expected that the fields will begin to be available in the fall. Only one seat, that of Debra McCarty, then board president, was up for election on May 5. She ran unopposed and was re-elected to a sec­ ond four-year term in an elec­ tion that drew approximately 24 percent of registered vot­ ers. Caledonia students distin­ guished themselves in a wide range of activities ranging from those with a distinctly academic bent such as the Odyssey of the Mind and theScience Olympiad to activi­ ties reflecting a desire to share with others through the food basket program for kids in other districts and clothing and shoe drives. Fine and performing arts also were reflected in theatri­ cal and musical performances; several students received awards and prizes for visual arts such a painting and photography. Prizes also includ­ ed art reflecting the incorpo­ ration of technology in digi­ tal and computer art. Another major story of the year was the H1N1 flu. which had a minimal impact on Caledonia. Some districts which were forced to close their doors in October, due to low student attendance. Phillips said letters were written to parents; bottles of hand sanitizer had been placed in classrooms and other areas through the school facilities. He added that the district was taking advice from the Kent County Health Department and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. The role of the Caledonia Foundation, Education which is separate from the district, funded projects that supported learning both inside and outside the class­ room. Generally these are projects the district cannot afford to fund and they included programs to enhance arts, scholastics, physical education, special education, camps, social pro­ grams and more. All told, the foundation awarded $9,725 in the current cycle. The foundation is the home of some scholarships that are awarded to Caledonia High School stu­ dents. It is also the home of the Dr. Bill Harrison endow­ ment. which supports the FFA chapter and agricultural education.

(Photo by Patricia Johns) « - I by Patricia Johns Staff Writer Members of the Village of Middleville Planning Commission began the Jan. 5 meeting with three public hearings. In the first hearing, the commission heard from Barry Brown, owner of the restored brick building at 218 W. Main St. with a request to change the zoning from C-1 commercial to R-2 residential. This is an oppor­ tunity to allow Brown to have a principal residence in the building. If he should get a buyer who wants to put an office in the building, he would have to return to the planning commission with the request. Following the public hear­ ings, the commission voted to send the request for the change in zoning to the village council at its Jan. 26 meeting. The commission then heard a request from Audrey VanStrien for a special use to allow a second sign (for I » Planning Commission meeting Public hearings fill Middleville (I | Tilton Chiropractic) on the same facade of the building as The Big Easy restaurant. VanStrien provided pho­ tographs of different signage in the downtown area. She had sent a four-page letter to other downtown business owners, sharing her concerns that the village was denying a sign for her tenant's new business. The process of allowing signs in the downtown historic area were explained, The Downtown Development Authority has some guidelines for signs as well. One of the guidelines is that only one sign can be on a building with a side facade. In this case. The Big Easy restaurant applied for and received permission to have a sign on the front and side facade. Following the public hearing during which several business owners supported VanStrien's request, mem­ bers of the commission wres­ tled with the best way to sup­ port businesses in the down- town area. An attempt to table the request failed. Cheryl Myers said she would not be at the next meeting and “would like to deal with this issue tonight.” The commission then approved an option that VanStrien required to remove the existing sign, which was put up in error without a sign permit, meet with the DDA on the sign and following the DDA s I approval of a sign within the 24-square-foot limitation, she will be able to put up a sign without returning to the planning commission. allow This should VanStrien to put up the sign within two to three weeks. Discussion included ways to make the sign ordinance more understandable, which led to the third and final pub­ lic hearing on the new zon- See HEARINGS, pg. 3 In This Issue... • Lincoln Meadows uses stimulus funding for parking lot expansion • Second community meeting Jan. 15 • Thornapple Kellogg wrestlers undefeated in first dozen duals • Fighting Scots and Trojans face foes in Friday night basketball �Page 2/The Sun and News.

(Photo by Patricia Johns) Staff Writer The parking area at the Lincoln Meadows senior cit­ izen apartment housing com­ plex in Middleville was expanded by 18 spaces, and access to the building from the parking area was improved with $70,000 in stimulus funding during 2009. Lillian Stehr, director of the Middleville Housing Commission, said they also will conduct a physical needs assessment with some of the stimulus funding. The new parking spaces are being used by both resi­ dents and visitors. When Stehr attended a Middleville Village Council meeting in 2009 regarding the project, she talked about the serious need for more parking. Members of the Middleville Rotary Club said they appreciated being able to use the new parking area when they held their annual holiday luncheon for the res­ idents in December.

It is the tradition of the Middleville Rotary Club to name those receiving the scholarships at the annual Thornapple Kellogg High School honors ceremony before graduation, and then give the checks as students are beginning their second semester of college. This year’s scholarship winners, Beth Fuller, Nick Karelse, Quinn Konarska and Mackensie Meyering, came to the meeting Jan. 5 and told the members a little about their experiences as college students. Fuller, who is attending Valley Grand State University, said of her first semester, “It went amazingly well." She is a nursing major and said she believes that her experiences as part of the Honors Community Council and other activities will help with her future goals to per­ haps live and work outside of the United States. Konarska had the added honor of talking about her at semester first the University of Michigan with her dad, Kevin, superintend­ ent of the Kent Intermediate School District and former Thomapple Kellogg superin­ tendent and Rotary Club member, in the audience.

Meyering told the Rotary members the first semester was challenging. She is a pre-med student majoring in biology and Spanish. She also is a literacy and health volunteer and said she is excited about being at Calvin. Karelse, a student at GVSU, said he hopes to be a science elementary school teacher. He told the Rotary Club that he was surprised at how difficult his first semes­ ter chemistry class was. When asked, he told the club members that TKHS had prepared him well for college. “I am glad that I took some advanced-placement classes and higher-level •It classes during high school, he said. Karelse also is working on community service projects and is a volunteer with the Big Brothers Big Sisters pro­ gram.

He said he will bring this information to the public at a meeting Wednesday, Jan. 13, at 7 p.m. in room 1616 at Thomapple Kellogg Middle School.

Even if you have a 401(k), you're probably still eligible to contribute to an IRA. A traditional IRA grows tax deferred, while a Roth IRA’s earnings are tax free, provid­ ed you’ve had your account at least five years and don't start taking withdrawals until you're 59-1/2. (Your ability to contribute to a Roth IRA is based on your income.) You can fund your IRA with virtu­ ally any type of investment. In 2010, you can put in up to $5,000 to your IRA, or $6,000 if you're age 50 or older, although, as was the case with your 401(k), these limits may go higher if they're indexed for inflation. • Rebalance your invest­ ments as needed. Over time, your goals and risk tolerance can change. That's why it's a good idea to review and rebalance your portfolio at least once a year, possibly with the help of a profession­ al financial advisor who is familiar with your situation. • Avoid Avoid “emotional" investing. Don't make deci­ sions based on emotional reactions to what's happen- Like many people, you may make some New Year's resolutions. Perhaps you've promised yourself that you'll visit the gym more often or learn a new language or reconnect with a long-lost friend. All of these are wor­ thy goals, of course, and if you achieve them, you may add new dimensions to your life. But if you want to accomplish other major mile­ stones you may have envi­ sioned — a new home, col­ lege for your kids, a com­ fortable retirement and so on — you may need to set some New Year’s financial resolu­ tions. What type of financial res­ olutions should you make? Here are a few ideas to con­ sider: • Contribute as much as you can afford to your 401 (k). Take full advantage of your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retire­ ment plan. Your contribu­ tions are typically tax deductible and your earnings grow on a tax-deferred basis. Every time you gel a boost in salary, try to increase the amount going into your 401 (k), but al the very least, contribute enough to earn the employer's match, if one is offered. In 2010, the contri­ bution limit for 401 (k) plans F 7*^ ing with your investments. For example, just because the price of an investment may have dropped significantly, it doesn’t mean you should rush to sell it. Despite the price drop, it may still have good prospects and it might be an important part of your investment strategy. Consider all factors before making “buy” or “sell” decisions. • Keep sufficient cash in your portfolio — During the long bear market of 2008 and early 2009, many investors discovered that they lacked enough cash in their portfo­ lios. Of course, you need enough cash on hand to meet unexpected expenses without dipping long-term into investments. But beyond that, the presence of cash and short-term, more liquid investments can help reduce the volatility in a portfolio that may sometimes be bat­ tered by both the stock and bond markets. These financial resolu­ tions, like all types of New Year's resolutions, may not be easy to keep. But if you can stick with them, you may have many happy new years in the future.

For those who have not seen the new Thomapple Master Plan 2007-2020, it states that “the township has the right and duty to regulate private activity for the protection of justice, health, safety and welfare.” This “right and duty” seems to cover every­ thing from garbage pickup, signs for businesses, who lives in your home with you, to being able to work on your neighbor's vehicle in your driveway. The master plan is said to be the “Holy Grail" or “law of the land.' When the zon­ ing board was asked about the public being able to vote on the master plan, the answer was “absolutely not.” Abraham Lincoln slated in his Gettysburg Address “...that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” It appears govern­ ment of the people, by the people and for the people has perished from this earth, and as property owners, our rights are being taken away from us. We need businesses in our area, but with the sign ordi­ nance and other restrictions, businesses are being driven away. In this economy, we need to be able to help each other, but with the single­ family dwelling ordinance, we are not allowed to take in people in need. We are not even allowed to repair a neighbor's vehicle in our driveway.

Saturday, January 9. 2010/ Page 11 Volunteers needed to help during tax season NX $ - —sS — ' -- Sb ♦ I. *-■ - During a recession, lowincome working families are hit hardest, especially during tax season. The Barry County United Way and Volunteer Center is recruiting volun­ teers to provide free tax preparation services to those who need it most. Volunteers can help out at tax sites with­ in Barry County by acting as tax preparers, cash coaches and greeters. “During these difficult economic times, every tax refund dollar is providing economic stimulus to our city and region. These refunds circulate within our local economy, helping fam­ ilies, local businesses and utilities, as well as providing funds for tuition, home costs and savings,” said Lani Forbes, executive director of Barry County United Way. 5 i NS ■s - N SS NQ A’’ IV Each year, the volunteer income tax assistance (VITA) program brings in thousands of dollars in refunds to Barry County families. Volunteers join the campaign every year to increase access to the Earned Income Tax Credit and to protect taxpayers from predatory tax services. The United Way and volunteer center also offers financial education and asset-building services to working families. Volunteering with the cam­ paign is easy and rewarding, said Forbes. Community Action will train tax preparers in early January to become IRS-certified and provide support throughout tax season to ensure that they can prop­ erly handle clients' needs. Volunteers only need to donate three hours a week from late January through April 15, she said, and no experience is required.

Ramaker, chair­ man, president and chief officer of executive Chemical. “While we believe this merger will facilitate future growth, we remain attuned to, and will continue to pursue, a wide variety of additional opportunities to leverage our capital strength during this challenging period for the industry.” The acquisition of OAK and its 14 branches in Ottawa, Allegan and Kent counties is expected to increase Chemical Bank’s core deposit base by approximately $438 million. Chemical Bank is expected to rise from the 14th largest institution (ranked by deposit market share at June 30, 2009) in the Grand Rapids region to the sixth largest. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2010. Under the terms of the agreement, Chemical will acquire all outstanding shares of OAK common stock in a stock-for-stock merger trans­ action, which has been approved by the boartfs ot directors of both companies. Upon the closing of the trans­ action, Chemical intends to consolidate OAK’s banking subsidiary, Byron Bank, into Chemical’s banking sub­ sidiary, Chemical Bank, and operate under the Chemical Bank name. The transaction remains subject to regulatory approval and other custom­ ary closing conditions, as well as approval of OAK shareholders. Chemical and OAK’s boards of directors expect to receive all required approvals necessary to com­ plete the transaction. Upon completion of the transaction, two independent members of OAK’s board of directors . will join the Chemical board of directors. tUUipiVUVll VI U1AW < ’ il t =1 1 11 k X- *• * I - ''J J T- ■■ 4-H members volunteer for soup suppers > Members of the Barry Good Critters and Crafts 4-H Club in Middleville volunteered at a soup suppers served at the Hastings Methodist Church on the first four Tuesdays in December.

Free radon test kits available from health department Radon cannot be seen, smelled or tasted, but elevated levels of the gas can still be in the home. Prolonged exposure to radon can increase the risk of lung cancer. The good news: testing is easy, and elevated radon levels can be reduced. Residents of Barry or Eaton counties may stop by the health department office in Hastings or Charlotte to pick up a free in-home test kit during January. Test kits are limited to one kit per address, Radon is a known human carcinogen, and exposure has no warning symptoms. The only symptom of exposure is lung cancer, according to Heather Sanders of the Barry-Eaton District Health Department. Radon is a naturally occurring gas resulting from the radioactive decay of radi­ um, which is found in small amounts in almost every kind of soil and rock. As a gas, radon moves upward through the soil and enters buildings through cracks and openings in the foundation floor or walls, According to a Michigan survey, elevated levels of radon are expected in one out of eight homes. In some coun­ ties, up to 45 percent of homes may have radon levels above the EPA recommended limit. The only way to know if a home has elevated radon lev­ els is to test it. To find out more about radon, call or visit the environmental health division of the Barry-Eaton District Department Health in W. at 330 Hastings Woodlawn Ave. (269-945- 9516, ext. 5) or in Charlotte at 1033 Health Care Drive (517-541-2615) between 8 a.m. and noon or 1 to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday; or call the MDEQ Indoor Radon Program at 800RADON GAS (800-7236642).

Tailoring a Gift to serve your charitable interests and financial goals The Barry Community Foundation offers a range of philanthropic options. Unrestricted Funds, or Community Action Funds, give the foundation the discretion to make grants that address the most urgent needs of the community as they change from time to time. Field-of-Interest Funds benefit a specific area of interest to the donor. They can also benefit a geo­ graphical area. Donor-Advised Funds are often created as an alternative to a private foundation and allow donors to recommend the charitable organizations and causes to be considered for grants They can be established in two forms: Non-Endowed Donor-Advised Funds allow the donor to recommend grants from both principal and income. Endowed Donor-Advised Funds allow the donor to recommend grants from the income ot the fund. Designated Funds make grants to Iflfl ommwMty specific organizations chosen by the donor when the fund is established. Scholarship and Award Funds are established by donors wishing to make education available to individuals in their communities. You may also wish to: • consider naming your community foundation as the beneficiary of your IRA or life insurance policy. • make a bequest to a community foundation in your living trust or will. • establish a Supporting Organization through the community foundation. A Supporting Organization is a separate legal entity for tax purposes and has its own governing body; by affiliating with a com­ munity foundation, the Supporting Organization enjoys public charity status and the professional staff services of the community foundation. However you approach making a gift to the Community Foundation, your caring gesture will make a difference in the lives of others and the life of your community. 629 W.

(Photo by Brett Bremer) by Brett Bremer Sports Editor Early on the Saxon bench looked like it had something to worry about, but when the dual was tied 25-25 with just two weight classes to go Hastings' head coach Mike Goggins appeared relieved. The Hastings' varsity wrestling team improved to 2-0 in the O-K Gold Conference, winning a tight 36-25 dual at Caledonia •High School Wednesday night. The Fighting Scots are now 1-1 in the league. Caledonia's Spencer Plattner pinned Hastings’ John Parker in the third peri­ od of their 103-pound match to cut into a nine-point Saxon lead. Then at 112 pounds, Caledonia’s Alex Champion scored a reversal to go up 4 -2 with a minute and a half left in the third period against the Saxons' Shane Tossava and rode him out the rest of the way to tie the team score at 25-25. “Alex (Auer) had wrestled that kid (Spencer Coury), the 1 same kid, last year and had done well against him. Kenny Cross is wrestling pretty good for a freshman right now. We fell pretty good about it," Goggins said of the 25-25 deadlock. He was right to feel that way. Auer pinned Coury 58 seconds into the 119-pound match, and Cross scored a 17-2 technical fall against Paul Williams at 125 pounds to close out the win for Hastings. “Hats off to Hastings," said Caledonia head coach Shawn Veitch. “They did what they had to do to win. But this is the most proud I've been of my team in my duration at Cal." The Fighting Scots fell to Hastings 60-6 in last sea­ son’s league dual, and brought 11 of the 14 wrestlers from that match back to the mats when the two teams met Wednesday. “With mostly the same bunch of kids, they’ve made some real improvement, Goggins said. “We wrestled with intensi­ ty and we wrestled tough tonight," Veitch said. “Obviously, if we don't get pinned four times, that saves 12 points right there, but they definitely recognize the improvement." Austin Endsley at 135 Ill pounds. Gage Pederson at 140, Beau Reaser at 215, and Auer scored the four Hastings pins. The Fighting Scots had two pins, one from Plattner and another from Chase Singleton at 152 pounds. Singleton's pin wiped away what was left of an early 12-3 Saxon lead, put­ ting Caledonia up 13-12. Evan Zych stared the evening with a 7-6 victory over Hastings' Mitchell Brisboe at 130 pounds, and Hastings followed that up with the pins from Endsley and Pederson. The Scots then got a 15-5 major deci­ sion from Tanner Zych, who was honored before the match for his 100th varsity B'smwr 9 I 4 5 1 I Caledonia’s Tanner Zych is presented with a trophy by coach Shawn Veitch in honor of his 1 th varsity victory before the start of Wednesday's O-K Gold dual with Hastings.

The Scots nearly added to the lead at 152 pounds, as Jon Schaibly picked up two quick penalty points from the Saxons' Mike Cross at the start of the third period. Cross, who went into the third leading 3-0, never did let Schaibly get the tying escape point though. Another big match was at 189 pounds, where the Scots' Brett McCarty scored a 13-7 decision over Matt Mansfield. “We figured we'd get pinned there, so we were happy when it looked like he was going to get teched, then he manages a three-point decision,'' Goggins said of Mansfield. “We needed him to wrestle for six minutes. “That's not very much fun, to stay out there and get beat up on. and Matt did his job." McCarty was on his way to at least a five-point techni­ cal fall, leading 7-1 in the second period, but after an escape Mansfield was able to make up five more points by taking down McCarty and putting him on his back. “We were hoping to get six there at 189," Veitch said. “ Honestly, I think McCarty was a little over­ confident, and didn't think he could possibly go to his back.” Other winners for Hastings on the night were Jason Eckley who scored a 12-2 win at 171 pounds, Beau Reaser who won 10-6 at 215, and Colton Marlette who topped Nick Savoie 5-4 in the heavyweight bout. The Fighting Scots head to the Rogers Invitational Saturday (Jan. 9), then will return to league action with duals against the host Hawks and Ottawa Hills at Forest Hills Eastern Wednesday.

Rider presented the infor­ mation to help residents of the school district understand the impact of reductions in state aid for schools.

As a result ot the study, the decision had been made to go ahead with an RFP for remodeling the space in the fire bam. In the township addition, budget for 2010 contains a line item for $600,000 to remodel the space; the line item is identified as “remod­ el to relocate township office." Village President Scott Williamson said his impres­ sion was that the township did not yet know what it was going to do. Ayers later said that the building is owned jointly and the expenses are shared. The building, built in 1991, 1991. was designed so that it could be expanded to the rear of the site. She questioned whether the township had considered that possibility. The problem for the vil­ lage is that its current budg­ et is extremely tight and covers operating expenses only as Treasurer Jill Harrison has pointed out consistently. Relocation of the township offices could leave a significant hole in the budget since empty space generates costs. Harrison opened the main portion of the meeting with a report on the second quar­ terly meeting of the finance committee. The^yillage fis­ cal year began July 1, 2009; the economy and the failure to pass a tax increase led to the decision by the finance committee to meet quarteriy“The budget is in very good shape; expenses are in line.

In between, the council heard about the upcoming National 24-Hour Challenge (see related story), a review of the Potter trash removal service and awarded a new waste water treatment plant agreement. Dywer met with the council in closed session to discuss a case dealing with unfair labor practices from 2008. The case is coming up for trial Jan. 19. • Dywer told council, including the new members and the pub­ lic, following the closed session. that the village has been willing to negotiate with Teamsters Local 212 since October of 2008. Potter Disposal representa­ tive Arie Potter also told the council about accomplish­ ments since the company began Tuesday trash collection in the village. Currently trash is being col­ lected at 690 homes in the vil­ lage. In October, Potter col­ lected 33 tons. November 57.4 tons, and 68 tons in December. He also reviewed the recy­ cling portion, which started with 2.5 tons in October fol­ lowed by 2.82 tons in November and 4.25 tons in December. On days Potter picks up recycling in Middleville the company's truck delivers directly to a recycling center in Holland. Thomapple Township resi­ dent Cindy Herweyer introduced village resident Howard DeWent wh0 discussed the “no parking signs" at the cemetery and concerns about the coun­ cil’s decision to give trash col­ lection to Potter Disposal and a petition that was to be turned in to the village following a com­ munity meeting Jan. 15. Council member Shannon Endsley reminded DeWent that not everyone who signed the petition, including herself, were opposed to having Potter as the designated trash hauler. “You need to be accurate when presenting the petition, she told him. Her concern, she said, was that not everyone, including commercial businesses, were required to make the change to Potter. Following the reserve time presentations, the council naming Phil approved VanNoord to represent the vil­ lage at the Grand Valley Metro Council. VanNoord will be the village’s representative at the 8:30 a.m. meetings on the third Thursday of each month until a manager is hired. The council approved wait­ ing until a future meeting to make changes to civil fines. Village planner Geoff Moffat told council that research is still being done in this area. The council approved rezoning the lot at 420 W. Main Street next to the Shell Station from R-2 residential to C-2 commercial. This will allow for a parking lot for employees. This recommenda­ tion was made by the village planning commission at its December meeting. Sue Merrill discussed the wetlands mitigation involving the Finkbeiner and Crane Road project using Spring Park, Implementing the~ five-step process involving 13.5 acres at Spring Park was approved. Council then discussed the process of a waste water treat­ ment plant engineering services agreement.

He said the township board had approved $250,000 as its share of the project; the county’s share would be $297,000. A resolution to approve the Home Center Condominiums was on the agenda. The purpose was to rectify an oversight that led to the commercial condo­ minium never having been approved by the township, although it was recorded with the county. Richard Robertson, town­ ship treasurer, asked how the units within the condomini­ um were being charged for water and sewer services. Mike O’Dowd, owner of the development, said the units were individually metered for utilities. The resolution was approved unanimously on a roll-call vote. Robertson introduced a request for proposal (RFP) for a design-build firm to remodel approximately 7.000 square feet of vacant space in the fire bam for new township offices.

On Monday morning. Jan. 4. Fire Chief Brian Bennett was on his way to Sioux Falls, S.D., with permission to sign a contract for the purchase of a 2006 Freightliner fire truck, provided that upon inspection the truck was as advertised and upgrades could be negotiated. A quick consultation with Caledonia Township Treasurer Richard Robertson had led him to give the board and Bennett the go-ahead; the funds were there in the capital equipment account. The deal was negotiat•n , the upgrades were accept­ able to the seller and Bennett » contract for a deliv ered price of $264,100. The department was now the owner of a replacement for a 1996 Freightliner rescue vehicle that was scheduled to be replaced in 2012. As Bennett explained. “The truck committee had been looking at a replacement. We had budgetedt $325,000 for a new truck. Since* it takes a year to get one of these built, we were getting ready to order one in 2011. The committee looked at a bulletin listing some demos. We have done well on demos.” The truck has never been used as a firefighting vehicle, only as a demonstrator. It was delivered to Caledonia Tuesday evening, just before the regular meeting of the public safety advisory committee (PSAC) was convened at 7 p.m. in the conference room at the fire bam. Members of the committee had the opportunity to examine the truck and did so. It will be a month or so before the truck is in service in Caledonia, said Bennett. The next strip for the vehicle is Saginaw where the addi­ tional equipment upgrades will be added. Competition for used/demo fire rescue vehicles in good shape is keen, according to Bennett, and Caledonia was able to negotiate the deal over a competing bidder who did not have financing in place. “We were able to pull this off because we have a capital replacement fund in place,” he •• said. Depending on what it receives for the 1996 Freightliner, he estimates the department will have saved $100,000 on the equipment. He noted that he has already received one inquiry on the 1996 truck. Capt. Michelle Young, with the Kent County Sheriff’s Department, reported on the progress of the new tower and the expansion of the depart­ ment’s dispatch center. The new tower at 730 92nd Street is “up and running and under budget.” said Young. On qual­ ity assurance measures, she said that they are meeting the standards, which require 99 percent of calls to be answered within 40 seconds and 95 percent to be answered within 15 seconds. At this point, the dispatch center docs not have the ability to break out calls by type of incident. She added that the physical expansion of the dispatch cen­ ter, virtually a tripling of its size, also will provide some office space as well as more space for dispatchers. The project has gone out to bid, and completion is expected in June. Members of the PSAC who follow the department’s calls agreed that communications are much faster and clearer under the new system. Bennett presented a prelim­ inary report on total runs for the department from 2001 through 2009. In that time, the number has risen from 353 in 2001 to 688 in 2009. The trend has seen a few blips from time to time but general- • ly upward, he noted, The committee moved on to discussion of other equip­ ment needs: replacement of turnout gear, boots, helmets, and self-contained breathing apparatus. to According Bennett, the most urgent need for 2010 is the replacement of boots and then helmets. Fire equipment is certified for spe­ cific lengths of time; for example, helmets are coming up on their 10-year replace­ ment requirement. He would prefer to replace helmets and boots this year and begin replacing turnout gear ($3.0(XJ per set of one coat and one pair of pants) next year. The committee agreed to support his choice, Trustee Don Koopmans led a review of the goals the com- mittee had established past year. Two major goals had been accomplished. A contract for dispatch services with the KCSD was recommended to the board of trustees, and new emergency radio channels w'crc established. The process of pulling site plans for build­ ings into the computers on fire apparatus was begun and will continue. Recruitment for paid-on-call personnel also continue. Committee members Melanic Salamone and Kim Quist have assumed responsi­ bility for organizing and mak­ ing the arrangements for the annual open house in October. They presented a handbook setting forth timelines for con­ tacting participants and donors. As Salamone com­ mented, “This will be a guide for anyone to plan the open house, including what needs to be done the day of the event.” Kcxipmans thanked them for their efforts, saying, “They have planned the open houses. It is a lot of work. Each year, more people come than the year before. It is a wonderful oppor­ tunity for the community to see their tax dollars at work.” One goal he would like to see accomplished this year is an energy policy for the build­ ing, especially automation for heating and cooling equip­ ment and more energy-effi­ cient lighting. Bennett said he is investigating a Consumers Energy program that allows the replacement of older light­ ing fixtures al minimal cost for older commercial build­ ings. He added that greater attention has been paid to thermostat settings and doors that have to be operated man­ ually. In other business, Bennett reported that the fire barn roof was leaking again in the same place as last year. He won­ dered if the township request for proposal for remodeling some space for new offices proposed to deal with any roof issues on the southwest corner of the building. Koopmans said he would call the contrac­ tor who had done the roof repairs. The next meeting of the PSAC will be Tuesday, Feb. 9, al 7 p.m. at the fire bam, 8192 Cherry Valley/Broadmoor Ave. JF uii * * I ft & Hl- . « if r* I* tft W iru III MU 1»«I<k nil Ry' " S' '< iSst >.S- VS’1 �The Sun and News. Saturday. January 16. 2010/ Page 3 TK school board praised by students, staff by Patricia Johns Ha Staff Writer Members of the Thomapple Kellogg School District Board of Education received praise from students and staff Monday, Jan. 11, during the appreciation and recognition part of the board meeting. Board members Scott Kiel, Kim Selleck and Cindy Ordway were not able to be at the meeting to receive their praise in person. The quorum of members at the meeting were President Don Haney and members Dave Smith, Tom Ward and Tammy Berdecia. January is the month when board members are recog­ nized for their service. Thornapple Kellogg contin­ ued its practice of having one of the elementary schools begin the recognition. This year, it was Lee Elementary’s turn and third graders Sophia Grusnis, Chaz Knorr, Anne Morgan and Jacklyn Morgan and second grader Megan Baldry presented each board member with an “environmentally friendly" water bottle in the orange and black school col­ ors. The group presented Room 1616 at the middle school with a recycling cen­ ter similar to those being installed through coopera­ tion with Steelcase and the high school’s environmental action council. Lee Principal Tim Shaw dis­ cussed how the second and third grades building is work­ ing to become a “green" school. The Thornapple Kellogg Middle School presented the S? * hS u SEk . • & s' St?

Members of the Thornapple Kellogg High School Honors Choir, under the direction of Laura Oprea, reminded the board that “you are the wind beneath the wings" of all TK students, The staff also presented board members with ‘thankyou' notes. Gary Superintendent Rider showed the students involved in the presentation that on the back of all the board member's name tags was the statement, “What is best for kids." - Don Haney told the pre­ senters, “It is always a little awkward to accept your appreciation. We have a sense of pride serving you." The board then approved a maternity leaves of absence for high school teachers Lyndsey Fischer and Elizabeth Ritsema. They are the advisors to the high school student council and will be back in the fall of 2010. The board approved a service consolidation plan which will allow them to use some savings toward the $165-per-pupil state cuts. The district continues to work with the Kent Intermediate School District and other districts to control costs. During his report Rider told the board that a difficult time was ahead for the school district. There will be budget cuts coming with a possible estimate of perhaps $267 per pupil according to the recent work by the state’s revenue estimating confer­ ence. Lee Elementary School presented Room 1616 where the Thornapple Kellogg Board of Education meets with a recycling center like the ones now used at their school. (Photo by Patricia Johns) He told the board that the district is trying to do the best job it can to “educate the community" about the chal1 lenges facing them. Haney said, “Cuts are coming. We are fortunate that we have time to think and plan." oth Rider and Haney agreed that it was important not to keep students “out of the equation" as work con­ tinues on the budget tor the 2010-2011 school year due • by June 30. Board member Ward esti­ mates that the possible cuts for TK may total more than $1.2 million dollars. The next regular meeting ©1 the Thornapple Kellogg board of education is on Monday, Feb. 8 at 7 p.m. in room 1616 at the middle school. Soup supper to aid Haiti residents or $15 per family. Lois Bremer of the Snugly Quilters said they also will accept additional donations to help with relief efforts in Haiti. The Snugly Quilters have used donated materials and blankets to make more than 100 quilted sleeping bags for the homeless. For more information about the soup supper or making a donation for Haiti relief, call the Middleville United Methodist Church at 269-795-9266. On Friday, Jan. 22, the Snugly Quilters group will host a soup supper at the Middleville United Methodist Church in Middleville. The group has decided to send pro­ ceeds from the supper to the Haiti relief fund through Church World Services. The supper will feature turkey noodle soup, chili and the evening's feature, potato soup. Salad, hot dogs, egg salad sandwiches, bread and homemade desserts also will be available. The cost is $5 per person FINANCE, continued from page 1 tote" l/ll’l has stayed fairly steady, it is not growing. Rider noted that new students are enter­ ing the district, but that other families are leaving in search of new jobs. He told the audience to consider his presentation, “School and State Finance 101.” He noted this is the start of the conversation, adding, “We need to contin­ ue to keep our outstanding community support.” In the face of the possible $3,000,000 in cuts, he also told the residents. “You are r IN' rgjjjapstaiti WflHC < a f •I rararf■id' l(A I**1 IV 3 <»>!© teHI! 131 pt in M1^,. j® HASTINGS 4 i.. kil. 11*^.

When he reviewed my x-rays and exam results with me, I was stunned when I could dearly see the evidence of my injuries from my — j past and it all matched the areas of my body where I was having diffi­ culty. My neck pain and headaches, my right hip and low back and even tingling in the foot hardly give me any trouble any more thanks to Dr. Tilton. But more Importantly, I feel I have found a very spedal person who cares deeply about my well­ being and continued quality of life. If it weren’t for Dr. Tilton, I would have never understood what a vital role my spine plays in this game we all call life. My two daughters and son have also benefitted greatly from Dr. Tilton. The difference is they have a 40 year head start on what I have only recently discovered. Thank you for changing my life, my children’s Ilves and giving us our new outlook on our future health.

We can't always escape the sad events in our lives — but we still need to carry on. Obviously, for a married per­ son, a divorce or the death of a spouse is a traumatic event. But if either event happens to you, you'll need to make some financial moves to keep your life on track. One step you'll need to take is to examine your income stream. Will you be able to collect alimony or life insurance proceeds? If so, you'll want to factor these proceeds into your overall financial strategy. And if you're employed, and you don’t have disability income insurance, you may want to consider it, because if you should become sick or injured and cannot work, you could face difficult times, Your employer may offer a short-term disability policy a* “".en]P,o^e might not be sufficient, so you may need to consider adding additional disability coverage on your own. Of course, even as you consider your cash flow needs for the present, you'll still have to plan for your future — including your retirement. When you were married, you may not have been contributing as much as you could afford to your 401 (k), particularly if your spouse was fully funding his or her retirement plan. And if your spouse had an IRA, you might not have felt the need for one, too. But now that you’re solely in charge of your own financial destiny, you’ll need to consider put­ ting as much as you can pos­ sibly afford into your 401 (k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan, along with your IRA. Because a 401(k) and an IRA offer significant tax benefits, they are great vehicles in which to save for retirement, so you should consider taking full advan­ tage of them. And speaking of your 401(k), IRA and other investment accounts, you may now need to change the designations. beneficiary These designations may even supersede the instructions on your will, so it’s important to keep them current, Apart from taking these steps, what else should you do to make sure you position yourself to meet your own goals? For one thing, you may need to review your overall investment mix, both inside and outside your retirement accounts. When you were married, you and your spouse may have estab­ lished a portfolio based on a combination of your risk tol­ erances and time horizons. But now you’ll need to deter­ mine if your existing asset allocation truly reflects your needs, preferences and aspirations. A professional finan­ cial advisor can help, so if you don’t already work with one, now might be a good time to start. One final suggestion: If you have children at home, make sure your life insur­ ance coverage is sufficient. You'll want to help make sure your children will be provided for. should any­ thing happen to you. There’s no sugarcoating the pain and difficulties that can accompany the loss of a spouse through death or divorce. But by making the right financial moves, you can help make life a little easier for yourself and your loved ones.

Council President Charles Pullen will send a letter to Fleis and VandenBrink com­ pany, terminating the first agreement. The council accepted the Williams and Works proposal, which also was approved by the MDEQ. The council approved a Thornapple Area Parks and Commission Recreation request for permission to tear down a storage building at Crane Road Ball Fields and will seek grant money to rebuild structure. It also approved having the TAPRC purchase a barn kit, costing $5,000 to replace it. The meeting closed with several residents bringing their concerns.

(Photo by Patricia Johns) the council about her concerns about the lack of “handicapped" parking spaces on Main Street. She told them she did park in the handicapped spot behind village hall but that the back door was not open so she had to make a ‘"very slippery walk to pay a water bill." Pullen told her that there will be some research on the best way to provide handicap access to the offices in village Barry County Sheriff’s Department was asked why more was not done to control snowmobiles in the village since there is an ordinance pro­ hibiting them. “We do our best to control use," snowmobile Stein replied. “There are supposed to be signs on the trail that there are no snowmobiles allowed in the village " Joann Hoffman then spoke to hall. Hoffman then brought up her concerns about the “No Parking" signs along Fremont Street next to Mt. Hope Cemetery. This has been an ongoing discussion in both the village where the narrow Fremont Street lies, and the cemetery, which is in Thornapple Township. The public works committee is being encouraged to hold a meeting to discuss this issue. Herweyer discussed her concern that the public works committee had met in an “emergency" session to dis­ cuss the unfair labor practices trial but hadn't scheduled a regular meeting. She was told that this was not an issue to be discussed during that comment time. Joe Miller then brought up his concerns about ordinance enforcement including the “no snowmobiles." He said he would like to see the police officers check registrations of snowmobiles parked illegally in the village. He also brought up his con­ tinuing concern about sidewalk snow removal. He told’ needj to the council, You — uphold the ordinances." This is a civil infraction and earlier in the meeting, council members had approved reduc­ ing the code enforcement offi­ cer’s work time to 16 hours per month. Miller asked, “Is 16 hours a month enough for code enforcement, including the snow-removal provisions?" Merrill told Miller that there is a possibility that some side­ •It walk snow removal may be done by supervised youth work crews. During the council comment period, VanNoord asked his fel­ low council members to hold a special meeting so that they could discuss some issues fac­ ing council. He encouraged the committees to meet so that issues could be discussed at the special meeting. The council approved by a vote of 6-1, with Michael Lytle voting ‘no,’ to hold a special council meeting Wednesday, Jan. 20, at 7 p.m. The next regular meeting o' the Village of Middleville council will be Tuesday, Jan. 26, at 7 p.m. Thornapple Township supports new first responders class by Patricia Johns ’U: 11 It k> 1 I Vi s' Ji* Staff Writer Members of the Thornapple Township Board voted to approve supporting a medical first responder class being given by Thornapple Township Emergency Services beginning March 2. Chief Dave Middleton told the board that some of the costs before them for equip­ ment are one-time purchases. Others, such as textbooks, will come back if future classes are offered. He noted that the costs for equipment, salaries and books are already covered by regis­ tration for the class. So far, 22 people are registered for the class at $500 per person, and the class has openings for up to 40. He has heard from several local industries and fire departments about having employees take the class. The proposed costs — $3,545 for equipment, $3,636 in estimated salaries and 40 textbooks for $2,600 — were approved. Middleton also presented the board with an overview of activities during 2009. TTES responded to 101 fewer calls in 2009 than in 2008. He noted that the busiest time for TTES during the week is from 2 to 4 p.m., with the busiest time in 2009 being Wednesdays at 2 p.m. The average response time is 11 minutes, 16 seconds, and it takes just under three min­ utes from the time TTES receives a call from Central Dispatch for the units to be out of the station. He told the board that staff members are doing physical training and that in 2009 there were no “incident-related" injuries at the scene of a fire or accident. He also said that TTES will be following the 2009 Heritage Day walk, which raised more than $1,600 tor two Barry County charities, by doing some fundraising four times a year. The board approved hiring Scott Kauffman as a part-time related to the impact of smoke from campfires or leaf or brush fires on neighbors. The fire ring size in the smaller lots is 42 inches in diameter. This comes directly from the state fire code.. In addition burning of leaves and brush in larger piles or “windrows" or long rows would still require homeown­ ers to call to get a permit before burning. In addition, a special-use permit is required to bum piles of tree limbs and may only allow burning of limbs four inches or less in diameter. Following the public hear- EMT paramedic. In other township business, the board held a public hearing on amending articles 1 and II of the fire code. Middleton explained that the amend­ ments were necessary so that TTES provides consistent ordinance oversight in the townships and village where they provide service. He said they currently work under three different ordi­ nances. The new articles provide a difference between “urban" areas of a half acre or less and more rural areas of more than an acre. Density of homes is - ing, the board agreed to com­ pare the previous fire code, the newly proposed changes and look at how the code is differ­ ent for the Village of Middleville and consider the proposed changes at its Feb. 8 meeting. The Thornapple Township board will hold a budget work­ shop Jan. 19 and continues to work on the next budget, which goes into effect on April 1. The board also approved having Siegfried Crandall do the 2009-10 audit at a cost of $11,500. This is a savings of $250. and the cost recovery fees should be rescinded and made retroactive to those who have been charged in the past and their insurance or lack of it did not pay the fee. As this fee has put some people further into financial hardship as well as the loss of their home/business and possessions." It was announced at the end of the meeting that a Red Cross blood drive will be held at the TTES building Jan. 27. The next meeting of the Thomapple Township board will be Monday, Feb. 8. at 7 p.m. in the township hall. k I L-_. 1/ I "nTtd < i r f * r I »,> C hi » ri I - i ANA -,-T' l-r r 4A ,.1 :«A<- - Of I Wil ■ I State Street Center PENNOCK t ?> -431 rv . • During the public comment portion of the meeting, resi­ dent Cindy Herweyer brought up her concerns to the board about having the board rescind “cost recovery fees" charged by TTES.

Our girls are unselfish. They don’t care who gets the points and tonight they did a solid job of getting her the basketball. And she fouled two girls out pretty much single-handedly. Hayden had nine of her 17 points in the fourth quarter. While the Trojans did have trouble defending some Hayden in the post, TK head coach Andy Kopf knew the blame for the loss belonged at the other end of the floor. “It was the offense," he said. I'll take our defense any day. We’ve just got to make some shots. That's it." 44 *4 44 » Ji • t’ta, I * *?

TK went on a 5-0 run to start the third quarter. to pull within 17-14, but Hastings closed the quarter with a 6-0 run of its own. You hold teams in the thirties, you're hoping to win those games,” Kopf said. The girls played awesome defensively. You can’t fault them for that. TK's girls are now 1-7 overall on the season, and 0-5 in the O-K Gold Conference. They dropped a non-conference contest at Calvin Christian Tuesday night 4532.

The Steves showed the council the design for this year's T-shirt which includes “Middleville" dn the design for the first time. The council learned that the Barry County Sheriffs and posse Thornapple Township Emergency Services are working with the event organizers to pro­ vide safety. The Middleville Rotary Club will be providing a din­ ner event on Friday, June 18, and the Middleville United Methodist Church will host a pancake breakfast June 19 and staff a concession stand that day as well. Kathy Steve encouraged the public to come to either of the meals to meet with this year's cyclists and support the local groups. One of the major changes this year is the result of the Crane and Finkbeiner Road bridge project which has meant that the overnight loop distance has been reduced from 7 miles to 5.5 miles. The Steves also announced that the bagpipers will return and will perform both before the event begins at the Thornapple Kellogg Middle School at 8 a.m. and on the bridge as riders go through downtown at about 8:20 a.m. on Saturday, June 19. Information about the National 24-Hour Challenge is available now at the vil­ lage hall or at n24hc@charter.net. On Tuesday, January 12 members of the Village Middleville of council heard about plans for the 2010 National 24 Hour Challenge.

Archie Warner was unani­ mously reelected as chair for 2010; he has served on the commission for several years and has been chairman for much of that time. Mike Kelly, now in his second term on the commission, was reelected to a second year as vice-chair. Duane Gunnink, who also has served on the commission for several years, was reelected as secre­ tary. The commission adopted its meeting schedule for 2010, as well, and will con­ tinue its practice of meeting on the first and third Mondays of the month except Labor Day. Gunnink questioned the date of Nov. 15, opening day of the firearm deer hunting season, which falls on the third Monday in November this year. After briefly canvass­ ing the panel, Warner deter­ mined that he should have a quorum that day and decided to allow the date to remain unchanged. The commission bylaws require the compilation and submission of an annual report to the township board of trustees.

Although 2009 was quiet in comparison to the previ­ ous two years, there still were eight requests to amend zoning ordinances, five requests for site plan review and four-for new special land-use permits or amend­ ments to existing permits. • The largest project to come before the commission was the Foremost Insurance Company expansion. The commission also reviewed new draft ordi­ nances for multi-family housing and digital signs and billboards. The commission j met for 16 meetings; two of which were special meetings devoted to the Foremost project. of remainder The was Monday’s meeting devoted to a review of an ordinance dealing with stan­ dards for outdoor illumina­ tion. The definition of a foot­ candle was explored only to give rise to the query ’How can we pipk a number when we don’t know how they are derived?” A concern is how does one ensure sufficient lighting near the edge of a parking•- lot without having too much light concentrated on the neighboring property? Gunnink mused, “Stars, bugs and plants. If we don’t give them enough dark, they die.” Warner said he has looked at numbers of one to three foot candles. “The intent is not to have a spillover. ” lot of spillover, he explained.

Also visiting her class room have been Matt Funk l lie from the transportation department, the district’s finance officer Chris Marcy, and maintenance director Shawn Hayward. All those who have visited the class­ room have told the students about their responsibilities. “Of course, Jon Washburn is in and out of the classroom often." said Erb, “and the children all know his role as our principal." Visiting the classroom Jan. 19 was Food Service Director Alan Walker. , Walker asked the children about their favorite lunch. He found out that they liked fruit such as grapes, blueberries and strawberries. Once or twice a month the McFall menu includes a sweet treat like cookies or brownies. He learned from the students that they like chocolate chip cookies. He promised to put Mrs. Erb's class and the meal they chose on the February menu. “One reason for having these people visit the class­ room is to stress how impor­ tant it is for everyone to work together to make this the best school and community ever,” said Erb. J?* J**; ««»* Id*1® Middleville DPW committee to work with township committee Oil'll iiwn REE % ^2 $ Staff Writer Members of the Middleville Village Council's department of public works committee, chair Joyce Lutz, Charlie I Pullen and Mike Lytle, met with residents, a representaI tive of the fire department and Walt Eavey, a member of the Thornapple Township board and cemetery commit­ tee Monday, Jan. 18, on the question of how to provide access to Mt. Hope Cemetery from Fremont Street. Questions about the “No Parking" signs on the ceme­ tery side of Fremont Street have been raised at village, township and community meetings over the past few months. Fire inspector Kyle Svoboda from Thomapple Township Emergency Services explained that according to the Michigan Fire Code, Fremont Street, at only 16 feet wide, is too narrow to allow for parking. The width is a significant safety factor since fire trucks and ambulances cannot get past parked vehicles.. Following presentations about why one resident wanted to prohibit parking (he can not get out of his driveway when cars are parked on the street) and one Fremont Street resident wanted to allow parking (she thought it was helpful for older people visiting gravesites), Eavey and the DPW committee members discussed possible solutions. Lutz and Eavey agreed to bring together members of the Thomapple Township ceme­ tery committee and the vil­ lage’s DPW committee on Monday, Feb. 1, to discuss the 13 possibility of adding up to three off-street parking ■ spaces. The DPW also discussed the drainage problem Grand Rapids Street resident Joe Miller is having with drainage going across his property. Pullen said he will be meeting with the Local Finance Development Authority on funding to cor­ rect this problem. Lutz and Pullen will bring information to the full coun­ cil on both issues at a later meeting.

Originally it was installed on the same side of the building as the “Big Easy” sign without a getting a permit. The planning commission voted to give VanStrien a special-use pennit with con­ ditions including modifying the sign to fit with the his­ toric downtown area and approval of the changes by the DDA. Tilton provided a rendering of the existing sign with some changes to make 5 it similar to other signs in the down town area. Following a discussion, members of the DDA approved the sign changes, encouraged Tilton to replace the sign on the side of the building using a grant from the DDA and move the modi­ fied sign to the rear of the building. He was given three months to move the modified sign. Re-elected to the DDA at its Jan. 19 meeting were Chair Shellie McQueen, Vice-Chair Catherine Beyer and Secretary VanStrien. McQueen appointed Geoff Moffat to continue as appointment and recording secretary for the group. The DDA approved send­ ing a request to extend the term of the DDA for 10 more years until 2025.

The DDA approved work­ ing with the businesses on Main Street and on M-37 Highway within the village limits during February in a ‘Love and Sparkle Up Middleville’ campaign. Businesses will be encour­ aged to “sparkle up’’ their business for the month of February, and shoppers would cast votes for the business with the most sparkle. Beyer told the DDA board that this was a “way to kick out the winter blues and add IT fun to February." The DDA wants to boost local businesses and encour­ age a habit of “staying local.” The DDA will be doing some advertising to promote the event, and the businesses will do events or decorate their own business­ es in February. Local businesses were encouraged to participate in DDA-sponsored events. When a lot of people are downtown for trick-or-treating or Christmas, it doesn’t help if the businesses down­ town don’t participate. ding anniver­ sary Lyman and Norma Kimmey will be celebrating their 60th anniversary on Jan. 25, 2010.

Two items were added to te agenda at the* beginning of the meeting. Treasurer John Jerkatis requested the addition of a township regu­ latory policy resolution. The second item was the payment of a final invoice for dredg­ ing of Payne Creek. Craig Stolsonburg, county commissioner for the town­ ship and the newly elected vice chair of the Barry County Board of Commissioners, explained the commissioners’ decision to adopt a committee-of-thewhole approach to transacting the county’s business. He said the board will meet as a committee of the whole on the first and third Tuesdays of the month from 4 to 6 p.m. Most discussion of issues and problems, he said, will occur during these meetings, which are open to the public. Formal decisions will be made during the regular county board meetings on the second and fourth Tuesdays. According to Stolsonburg, the board has cut back on the number of meetings and organizations, a move that is expected to save $12,000 to $15,000 a *B year in expenses. Township Clerk Janice introduced Lippert an Hyslop from invoice Consulting totaling $8,500 for the dredging of Payne Creek. The motion to pay the full amount was approved unanimously. Supervisor Al McCrumb moved to bring up the Jerkatis resolution. The reso­ lution received no expression of support and thus died. Dave Middleton, director of Thornapple Township Emergency Services, report­ ed that his department responded to 186 calls for service in the township last year. Door-to-door response time was 11 minutes, he noted, saying that it was an improvement from 2008; the department also improved its out-the-door time to three minutes. He was pleased to note that there were no deaths due to fire in 2009. The department continually engages in rescue practice and in physical fitness and training programs, he said. Middleton concluded his report by saying that the department would engage in a fundraising activity for a local charity every quarter; all the charities would be in Barry County. Jerkatis com­ mended Middleton and the department for its willing­ ness to engage in such activ­ ities, noting that they were an entirely voluntary effort. Two candidates for elec­ tive office introduced them­ selves. Michael Callton, county commissioner from Nashville, is running in the Republican primary for the 87th district seat in the state house of representatives. for March 4. McCrumb recommended Rick Jones, currently a state representative from Eaton appointments to the zoning County, is a candidate in the board of appeals (ZBA) and Republican primary for the to the planning commission. state senate seat held by Chuck Biggs was appointed to the ZBA as an alternate; Patricia Birkholz.

A letter from the Red Cross was also received; it confirmed that the van used by Barry County Red Cross Services Transportation would be parked in the car­ port on the fire bam property on Payne Lake Road. The carport, paid for by the town­ ship, was installed in late • December. Clerk Lippert also Lippert also announced conferences available from the Michigan Townships Association. Cook moved to send the entire ZBA to a conference on the basics of zoning; the motion was approved and $560 was approved to cover the costs. She said she want­ ed to attend a conference on contracts, and $420 was approved to cover the costs of sending six township officials to that conference. The board approved a motion to have SiegfriedCrandall, the township audi­ tors, appear at the next board meeting to present formally the township’s audit. Cook said she was unhappy with just receiving a copy in the mail. It is unclear whether the auditors will bill the township for delivering the audit personally. Cook said she would like the board to consider pur- chasing a new telephone sys­ tem and has secured an esti­ mate of $2,800 for a new system. The current system is 12 years old. She also noted that insurance policies are through April 1; she said she feels it is appropriate to review the coverage on all buildings and equipment and to put the coverage out for review by other companies. Applications and testing for temporary positions with the U.S. Census are still being conducted at the township hall at 284 N. Briggs Road. Remaining dates and times for testing and applying are on Tuesdays, Jan. 26, at 1 p.m., Feb. 2 at 9:30 a.m., Feb. 9 at 1 p.m., Feb. 16 at 6 p.m., and Feb. 23 at 1 p.m. • Under old business, Cook said that the issue she had raised in December regard­ ing the spreading of manure on a field near a well head had been explained -to her The satisfactorily, of Department Quality Environmental issues the permit and requires flags to delineate an area of 2,000 feet for the pro­ tection of the well head; the farmer was in compliance and therefore the activity was legal. Some general discussion occurred prior to adjourn­ ment. Questions were raised about the status of the club­ house in a condominium development; some mem­ bers of the board understood that the developer had the property up for sale. Jerkatis thanked his colleagues for the new lights on the walk­ way into the township hall. He also noted that the floodlight on the flagpole has out. apparently burned Additional lights for the parking lot were briefly dis­ cussed. The next meeting of the board will be on Feb. 11 at 7 p.m. at the township hall. * I r. ______________________________ \ New Look for Season! the Receive a complimentary Eyebrow Waxing with any Color Service.

Teacher Stephanie VanDor said that in the course, students learn the fundamentals of starting their own businesses. The class consists of “chal­ lenges” the students must complete and then present to their peers, and sometimes guest judges. Some of the challenges the class has faced this semester are discussing and develop­ ing catchy advertisements for products, surveying what the community is missing and then creating a business that would be successful in town, customizing a travel vacation as a pretend travel agency, and a final project which is a real-life business. Earlier this month, partici- pants sold sweet treats and fun products to their fellow students. Before selling, stu­ dents created presentations, methods of advertising, busi­ ness cards, business brochures and three-dimen­ •II sional model displays before taking to the selling floor (the middle school cafeteria and hallways. “It is a great way for stu­ dents to learn marketing, presentation skills and budg­ eting,” said VanDor.

This year, several teachers acted as patrons of the art which required the groups to merge their ideas and materi­ als with the personal requests of the ‘patrons.'

Peters led the students through an entrepreneurship activity, which included building a “clear man” out of clear plastic tape. Students divided into three-person teams and built a clear man that incorporated the characteristics of an entrepreneur. Throughout the students activity, were engaged in team-building skills, taking on different leadership roles and exercis­ ing creativity. Objectives of this activity helped students define what an entrepreneur is, including characteristics of an the entrepreneur The project required team­ work; one student was wrapped in clear plastic tape with the assistance of the other team members. Each team decided what characteristics they consid­ ered most important to an entrepreneur, put them on paper and attached them to their clear man. Peters said, “These men can play a big part or a small part in the curriculum as the class moves forward. Often, students add characteristics as they progress. Some groups have added outlines, financials, etc., to their man. This allows for individuality and creativity.” Following construction of the “clear men” by the class, they were hung against the windows at the main entry to •It the high school. Several of the men included traits one might expect like “persever­ ance,” “financial smarts,” and “stick-to-it-iveness” but many also include “opti­ mism” and “the ability to get along.” The Generation E Institute is a nonprofit organization based in Battle Creek that offers youth entrepreneurial L education programs and con­ sulting•SJ services to schools community-based and organizations. Since all the students actu­ ally start their own business­ es a§ a requirement for com­ pleting the courses, GenEI provides a foundation for middle and high school age students to explore entrepre­ neurship as a viable career pathway. GenEI also recognizes that youth entrepreneurship edu­ cation programs need high levels of community support to remain effective in the long term. Examples of how to build that assistance include facilitating regional showcases in which students display their businesses, starting revolving loan funds that students can use for business start-up money, and offering meaningful intern­ ship opportunities between entrepreneurs and students. Cobb .explained that Thornapple Kellogg High School’s marketing and entrepreneurship program is £J Ik?* 11 - r > 4 ^3^ $ J providing new directions in entrepreneurial education. “Students will learn the skills necessary to plan and implement at least two busi­ ness ventures,” she said. “As they, explore the skills need­ ed to be a successful entre­ preneur, they will make dis­ coveries as to their own interests, talents and abili­ ties. They will learn to capi­ talize on those and develop viable business ideas.” Students research, inter­ view, get community involvement and classroom instruction, and grow their ideas into business ventures. The instructor becomes a facilitator as the students are empowered to actively explore the steps to business operation. “As entrepreneurs, the stu- dents will experience the risks and rewards of business ownership within a moni­ tored learning environment,” said Cobb. “Whether the business lasts for one day (as in planning an event) or con­ tinues to flourish, the entre­ preneurial mindset will con­ tinue to develop. “By emphasizing rigor, relevance and relationships in our instruction, student achievement in core subjects increases as does their awareness that post-second­ ary education and training is necessary to reach their career goals,” she concluded. “Their attitudes toward their community improve as well to the point of desiring to return to their community at some point in their future and open businesses, pur- n I Students in the Thornapple Kellogg High School’s marketing and entrepreneurship c(ass ce|ebrate the disp|ay of their ■‘c|ear men” in the lobby at the high school.

The Scots started the day with an 81-0 victory over Ann Arbor Pioneer. If a team gets six points at each of the 14 flights, that would make for an 84-0 win. If only all duals would be like that. I'd have a full head of hair,*’ said Caledonia head coach Shawn Veitch. Caledonia then went on to b's I • • • • top Farmington Hills Harrison 40-28, Rogers City 35-33, and Pine River 37-36, before ending the day with a 37-31 loss to New Lothrup which is one of the top ranked teams in Division 4. "Every dual just came down to the last match. There were a lot of close ones. It was a good tourna­ ment for us," said Veitch. Caledonia's Brett McCarty, Tanner Zych. Justin Bigger, and Evan Zych were all 5-0 on the day. Spencer Planner and Dillon Schmitt were both 4-1. "(Evan Zych) has really, really wrestled well. He's won ten of his last 11. He’s really beginning to step up." Veitch said. The Caledonia coach was also impressed with McCarty's day, especially his victory over New Lothrup's Taylor Copes, who's ranked second in his division at 189 pounds.

However, it’s not quite that simple. If you convert your traditional IRA to a Roth IRA, you'll have to pay taxes on those traditional IRA earnings and contributions that had previously gone untaxed. If you do convert, you'll be better off if you use money held outside your IRA to pay the taxes.

Saturday January 23 2010 - Trojan duo dominates inside against Hawkeyes by Brett Bremer Sports Editor The Trojans checked the three big things off their to-do list Friday night against Hamilton. They wanted to get the ball inside on offense. Check. They wanted to limit the Hawkeyes top two scorers, Check. And they wanted to keep the Hawkeyes from knocking down too many three-pointers. Check. Thomapple Kellogg’s varsity boys’ basketball team improved to 5-4 on the season with a 58-41 win over the visiting Hawkeyes, who are now 6-3 on the year. In the paint, the Trojans got 18 points, 23 rebounds, and six blocked shots from center Jared Stolicker and 13 points and 11 rebounds from forward Jesse Aubil. While that duo combined for 31 points and 34 rebounds, the Hawkeyes' top * » scoring . tandem of Evan Mudd and Gabe Stille combined for 14 points as they each finished the night with seven points. “We really established our post guys early, which is what we wanted to do, and 1 really thought we came out with a toughness and determination on the glass,” said Thornapple Kellogg head coach Lance Laker. The Trojans led 14-4 after one quarter, and pushed their lead to 33-17 by the break, They led by as many as 24 points in the second half. Hie Hawkeyes also pulled to within as few as 12 points in the second half, as the Trojans were a bit uneven, We had spurts where we got complacent.” said Laker. TK could have built an even bigger lead early too, but missed nine shots from close range in the first quarter. Alex Tenckinck led the Hawkeyes with ten points on the night. li Thomapple Kellogg has now won three in a row, having also scored a non-conference win at Kelloggsville Tuesday by the score of 6352. “We thought by game nine or ten we'dI be getting to the toughness level we want with the experience we want, and Thanks to you... 100% of your gift to Barry County United Way provides funding for 35 programs, thanks to the Florence Tyden Groos Endowment Fund hat covers administration and management expenses! 100% of your contribution stays right here in LIVE UNITEl • Barry County!

Staff Writer •' The “topping out ceremony for the final girder for the superstructure of the casino for the Match-E-BeNash-She-Wish Band of Potawatomi Indians Jan. 28 included lunch, words of explanation and applause. Thursday’s lunch of ham­ burgers, hot dogs, barbecued pork, salads and cookies kept everyone warm inside the warehouse where a truck held the final girder filled with sig­ natures and topped with a pine tree and an American Hag. Along with men, women and children from the tribe, steel workers, plumbers, engineers and other workers from Skanska signed the final girder, which was paint­ ed white so the words would stand out. Some signatures were in memory of friends or loved ones who have died. Gun Lake Tribe Chairman D.K. Sprague signed the girder, twice. “This is an historic moment for the Gun Lake Tribe. It time to also remem­ ber those who are now gone. This was their dream as well,” said Sprague. Tribal elder Carol Baker signed in memory of the Frank Bush family. Hugh Coward, representing Ironworkers Local 340 and the Southwest Michigan 1 w Building and Construction Trades Council, spoke briefly about the “topping out” tradi­ tion. He told everyone that the end of this part of the construction is both sad and happy — an end and a begin­ ning. ‘This is a symbol of pride and tradition," said Coward. “It shows the building is get­ ting done and the Ironworkers will soon com­ plete their work and need to move on.” The pine tree shows that the work was done, injury•n luck" free, and is a “good wish for the building. “The flag represents the I / j- n 1 J I • J • 1 I r See CASINO, pg. 10 4 Once the final girder was raised to its place in the new building, it was screwed into place.

Such incentive or buyout plans are offered as a way to reduce Salary and benefit costs, which amount to more than 80 percent of the aver­ age school district's budget. “It has been seven years since we last offered an incentive plan,”’ plan/ said Nelson-Purkey, “and we think this is an appropriate year to offer an incentive. We are looking ahead. The plan will be developed after board approval. We are beginning the budget process earlier this year.” The 2010-11 school year budget is due June 30. “We are being proactive,” added Board President Ken Yonker The board also approved a series of budget amendments to bring expenditures into line with revenues. As it stands now, the district will we had in June (2009). We took a stab in the dark in June. We had a cut of $165 and we added 106 additional spend $38,837,249 in the current budget year, a reduc­ tion of $48,000 from the original budget. u We have $48,000 less than we had in June (2009). We took a stab in the dark in June. We had a cut of $165 and we added 106 additional students. Revenues at athletic events declined; we lost one home game due to safety considerations.

Diesel fuel is reaching $3 a gallon again. - Superintendent Jerry Phillips Jerry Superintendent Phillips, reporting on the state of the district, said, “We have $48,000 less than students. Revenues at athletic i events declined; we lost one home game due to safety considerations. The Act 18 Special Ed money did not come through. There were increases in insurance costs and fuel costs. Diesel fuel is reaching $3 a gallon again. “The budget has thou­ sands of line items; 400 spe­ cial ed items had to be adjusted. The budget reflects the reductions. I’m happy the $127 was rescind­ ed,” he added in reference to an additional cut first pro­ posed by Gov. Granholm in November and rescinded in late December. On the bright side, he noted that promotions for home basketball games were showing positive results in •it increased revenue from attendance. The new Paris Ridge Elementary School is almost finished and will be ready for operations in the fall. Again, he noted that the district, by using the plans from the building of the Emmons Lake Elementary School, had saved more than $300,000 in architectural fees. He closed his remarks saying, “The district is off to a good second semester.” The board also approved a recommendation from Phillips to certify the fiveyear renewal of the Non- See BUY-OUT, pg. 9 -rw — -- -- - 1 i Local libraries feel impact of state cutbacks by Patricia Johns Staff Writer Effective March 15, pub­ lic libraries in the eight­ county Lakeland Library which Cooperative Caledonia includes the Public Library, Thornappleand Kellogg .School in Community Library Middleville, and the Freeport District Library — will no longer offer regional library delivery service due to a reduction in-state funding. While inter-library loan programs will remain intact after March 15, library patrons will have to return materials to the libraries where they checked them, out. Being able to return a book taken out at another library is very popular in all three of the local libraries. Up until March 15, a library patron could check out a book Caledonia, in •it Middleville or Freeport and return it to any other library in the cooperative to be checked in and avoid fines. The book would then be delivered by the Lakeland delivery service to the library. home book's Starting mid-March, the book — or any other materials — will have to be returned to the source library. A press release from the Lakeland Library Cooperative released this week stated that its mem­ bers, "... are making the change in the delivery serv- ice to reduce costs, to pre­ serve access to immensely popular services, such as inter-library loan, and to avoid charging additional fees to patrons for library use. The previously offered delivery return service was a convenience for patrons that the local libraries and coop­ erative simply can no longer afford to support, particular­ ly in light of additional budg­ et cuts anticipated with the state’s (fiscal year) 2010-11 budget." arbara Hubers, librarian at the Thomapple Kellogg School and Community Library, said she does not anticipate any impact on the library besides the delivery service change. Many local library users are familiar with being able to borrow a book at the Caledonia or Hastings libraries and return it to Thomapple Kellogg where it could be checked in and returned. She said, “all the libraries in this area are going to have to work out the changes in delivery service.” Jane Heiss, manager of the Caledonia Public Library said staff there will have to remind patrons of the change. Tammy Borden at the Freeport District Library said the state budget cut is already having a direct impact on that library. “It has and it will have a direct impact on us,” she said. “This year, Lakeland will cover 11 percent of the 40 percent budget cuts out of its reserves. At Freeport, we are looking at a 29 percent budget cut, so we are defi­ nitely going to change our budget so we can meet all our costs.

Council member Phil VanNoord had suggested the meeting as a “goal-setting" session, similar to one held three years ago under former manager Ron Howell. VanNoord stressed that he sees the need for a manager. The council, which has some new members since the November election, voted to fire former manager George Strand at its Sept. 22, 2(X)9, meeting. “1 am spending more time than I expected because the village doesn’t have a man­ ager at this time." Several members of coun­ cil discussed what they were looking for in a new manag­ er, with Mike Lytle suggest­ ing starting the discussion of hiring a manager first. Joyce Lutz suggested the need to decide what the council wanted in a manager since that might keep some 'A ! 1 I the decision to use one trash hauler on one day for the entire village be put on an upcoming village ballot. Nettleton noted later in the meeting that this may not be of the problems with past managersTrom being repeat­ ed. Saturday's workshop ses­ sion will begin at 9:30 a.m. in the village hall. u I am spending more time than I expected because the village doesn’t have a manager at this time.” - Council member Phil VanNoord Earlier in the meeting, attorney Mark Nettleton pre­ sented a formal request to extend the term of the Local Development Finance Authority to the council. A public hearing on this exten­ sion will be conducted at the beginning of the Feb. 23 council meeting. If members of the LDFA have questions about the extension, they will be invited to speak to the council at 6:30 p.m. In other business, the council received 161 signa­ tures on petitions presented by resident Howard De Went Jr. He told the council that the petitions were against the decision to choose a single waste hauler. He asked that II ■ 11 ?

Information about the scholarship is available at CHS. The Caledonia Rotary club meets on Tuesdays at noon at Sam’s Joint in Caledonia. (Photo A' 8 39ft r it by Patricia Johns) allowed by state statute. During the public com­ ments portion of the meeting DeWent told council mem­ bers he was opposed to them making the decision on trash hauling for him, not just that a Barry County hauler, Jim’s Trash Service, did not get the three-year contract. Also speaking at the meet­ ing was Dave Dykstra who spoke in favor of the single trash hauler. He noted that sometimes having the low bidder on a village project from outside the area can be a “wake-up call." Dykstra noted that several years ago, after some years of winning bids for Middleville projects, his esti­ mator presented higher bids, and projects went to other firms. Also during the public comment session, a question was raised about why local industries and businesses were not required to sign up with Potter, a waste hauler out of Holland. Council members told the audience that research was being con­ ducted on the actions of the previous council regarding this issue. In response, Dykstra told council that he would look into having Potter collect the trash at both the apartment buildings owned by him and at his construction firm. He reiterated that having just one hauler on one day reduced damage to the roads. During the meeting, the members of council approved two cost-saving measures suggested by DPW head. Starting in April, brush clippings will be collected once a month through October. Brush will be stockpiled on village properancj the village is seeking ty, and a co-generation company interested in picking it up. The village would like to save its chipper and has sufficient stockpile of wood chips for residents who need them. The village may receive some funds for the tree branches, but the real savings in only picking them up once a month. The second measure is that village residents will be required to use recyclable paper bags for yard waste. Yard waste will continue to be picked up twice a month from April through October. Since plastic bags will not be allowed, work time will be saved, as well as keeping plastic out of the land fill. DPW Director Wayne Winchester told council that each time yard waste is col­ lected in plastic bags, at least an hour of labor is needed to empty the waste and discard the bags. He said there is a cost to both types of bags. Information about these changes will be in newspaper advertising and the “Town Crier" newsletter this spring. The council also approved rezoning 218 Main St. from C-l, commercial to R-2, res­ idential. This was a request made by the owner and the Cole Porter Muscial of the ordinance on elderly residents, realty companies which do not clear sidewalks in franc of homes for sale, homes in foreclosure, homes of residents who spend win­ ter in warmer climates and whether the code enforce­ ment officer only working four hours a week has enough time to work on this problem.

With the exception of removing trees in preparation for mining, nothing has been done on this site because of the econ­ omy. The site has between 800,000 to 1 million tons of gravel, and Aggregate hopes to begin mining it this year. A two-year agreement for the second site was approved with 16 conditions. This site may still include a pond. Both agreements extend from Feb. 1 through Jan. 31, 2012. before the public hearings were opened, the planning commission voted to allow chair Mark Sevald to recuse himself from the discussion and vote since his law firm works with w 1t h Aggregate Industries. In other business, Moffat told the commission that the zoning ordinance update will go to the Thornapple Township trustees by “the end of the week." He also handed out a new item for the planning com­ mission to review on farm J-Ad Graphics newspapers will continue to accept infor­ mation about special Lent and Easter services and events at area churches. Information about special Ash Wednesday or Lenten sermons should be submitted via e-mail to patricia@jadgraphics.com The deadline for information on Ash Wednesday events or servic­ es should be sent by 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 9. The deadline for informa­ tion in subsequent weeks will be each Tuesday by 10 a.m. until March 30 for Easter services. This information will be published on a space-avail­ able basis. There is no fee for this service. Anyone wishing to purchase an advertisement for additional publicity may call 269-945-9554 to place an ad. markets which, which. once approved by them, will be added to the ordinance update. Officers of the planning commission remain the same for 2010. Chair Sevald, Vice Chair Sharon Allen and Secretary Linda Gasper w ere elected unanimously. Lois Bremer was appointed recording secretary. During his report to the commission. Moffat said that the budget for the commis­ sion at $49,430 w as 30 per­ cent less than the previous budget. Ross DeMaagd, the township trustee who serves on the commission, reported that the trustees are still working to create a balanced budget" for the next fiscal year which begins April 1. Moffat also praised the work of code enforcement officer Don Ford.

Those of us who moved to this area came because of the quiet," he said. During the discussion of the Lettinga property by the members of the planning commission, Landes explained that one reason for the request is that the down economy has a negative impact on gravel mining. He said he anticipated the final gravel being mined at the Lettinga site, if the econ­ omy improves, to be com­ pleted within two years; however, that could take another two years if the economy does not improve. Moffat noted that at the property line, the sound has been metered several times and always meets the 65 dba decibel requirements. The planning commission approved the two-year agree­ ment with 14 requirements. Moffat noted that mining cannot go below 810 feet above sea level in the site and that the proposed pond is. no longer part of the agree­ ment. ■.' J I by Patricia Johns Staff Writer Marty Landes from Aggregate Industries went to the Thomapple Township Planning Commission to request additional two-year agreements to allow the company to remove gravel from two properties. These properties are the 138 “Lettinga" property and an adjoining 15 acres. Jim Veeneman, a resident in the Harwood Lake area, spoke to the commission about some of his concerns about noise. He also was concerned that he had to read about the public hearing in the newspaper, where previ­ ously, he had been notified by letter. Township Planning Administrator Geoff Moffat explained that the previous instance was with another business.

Its ori­ gins are murky and even its exact date is in some dispute,, but Opposite Day has proved to be a source of fun for many people, especially chil­ dren, who choose to eat breakfast at suppertime and otherwise do things in reverse. However, you may find that acting in an “opposi­ tional” manner is not so harmless at other times in your life — such as when you're investing. What types of “opposition­ al” moves should you avoid? Consider the following: • Buying when prices are high — When the financial markets keep rising, many periple continue buying more fern tow shares in the mistaken belief that “up” is the only direction their investments can go. But E while it may be human nature to want to continue racking I £ up gains, it's not necessarily smart investing. The higher an investment has gone, the more likely it becomes that it will plateau or potentially even drop in value. Of course, an investment may one day rise again, but for the near term, its “upside poten­ tial” may be limited, so you might do better by finding other opportunities. • Selling because prices are 7; low — Just as some investors I “d. U._ keep buying when prices are I T*rising, others will sell when | il. prices have dropped, just so I 1 they can “cut their losses.” »i This may be a mistake. If the I investment still plays a role in your balanced portfolio, and you believe its prospects are still good, you may want to hold on to it despite its price. Furthermore, if your investment's decline is due more to an overall drop in the market than a change in its own fundamentals, it may bounce back when the market for the Thornapple Kellogg The Beacon Society, the School and Community recovers.

Under the current defini­ tion, you could not take in a family consisting of father, mother and three children who, for whatever reason, are in need without being in violation of the ordinance. There needs to be common decencies in what is bein regulated. Those who may have vio­ lated this ordinance, know­ ingly or not, you, are good Christians. When it comes down to whether we can help out a friend in need. I say help them and the township/village re-evaluate the laws during these difficult times. Alon L this same line, I encourage the automotiveinclined individuals to help family or friend fix his or her car. However, if the work is being done in exchange for money, then the individuals would be acting or engaging in business practices and therefore should be subject to business regulations. Under current ordinances, 1 am led to believe that anyone working on a friend's car would be in violation of the ordinance. To the editor: I have been a resident of Barry County for nearly 38 years. In that time, I have seen a lot of changes. I’ve seen the area around Middleville change from a rural community to more of a suburb of Grand Rapids.

Below I have writ­ ten some of my beliefs on the way things have changed and are being forced upon us or taken away. Residents have begun to ban together to stop the intrusions into our lives by local government entities and stop the over-regulatin ;u of what we can do on our properties or in our own homes. First, I’d like to write about the l he one-family dwelling ordinance. I do see in the one-family dwelling ordinance some good to pre­ vent six families living under one roof, but at what cost to helping family, friends or our community brethren?

Thomapple Kellogg's varsity boys' basketball team scored a 42-40 O-K Gold Conference victory at Caledonia Friday night, as sophomore guard Greg Hamilton hit the game-winner with seven seconds remaining after the Fighting Scots wiped out a nine-point Trojan lead in the final four minutes. 44 It's one of those games where it's a great win, in an environment like that, to have the lead, to lose it, have them surge. and have the shot got in, then win it on defense,” Laker said. Caledonia called a time-out with 5.2 seconds remaining, and got an off-balance jumper by guard Luke Wiest which banked off the basket and out as time expired. 44 We fought as hard as we could and stuck together to try to overcome the adversity of struggling to find success on the offensive end,” said Caledonia head coach Todd Bloemers. “We dug down and we kept giving effort, but we understand that's not good enough to compete in this league.” The Fighting Scots are now * The Scots’ Travis Taylor goes over Thornapple Kell ’s Jacob Bultema for two points in the fourth quarter Friday.

TK improves to 6-5 with the win, and also sports a 3-4 league mark. Hamilton led the Trojans on the night with 17 points. He was one of just four Trojan players to score in the game. Jared Stolicker had 12 points and 13 rebounds, as well as three steals and three blocked shots. Coley McKeough chipped in ten points. Just because the other Trojans didn't fill the score book, didn't mean they didn't contribute. Kenny Price had 11 rebounds. Jacob lultcma had the other three Trojan points, and played well in .i new role as a defensive stop­ per. With help from his team­ mates. Bultema limited Wiest to just ten points. “Wiest is obviously a great kid. He’s a great player, and a great leader,” Laker said, There aren't too many times you can take him our of a game and make him struggle.” All the Scots struggled shooting the basketball. They shot just 30.4-percent from the floor for the night, and just 28-percent in the first half. When you shoot 30-percent for a game you really have to rely on your defense to win.” Bloemers said. “We did that tonight, unfortunately we came up one play short.” Caledonia forward Travis Taylor finally got hot late, sparked by an ability to get the ball to the rim. In a span of less than two minutes, he scored the Scots' final nine points. The last two, on a lay­ up after a steal, lied the game at 40-40 with 31 seconds to play“Obviously, they were very big plays for our team to help us build confidence and put us in a position where we could try to win the ball game. Travis is a senior cap­ tain. He stepped up and helped us get to that posi­ tion,” Bloemers said. Caledonia returns to action Tuesday at home against Forest Hills Eastern, then will host Wayland Friday. Thornappic Kellogg will be at Ottawa Hills Tuesday, then at South Christian Friday. The Trojans fell to Forest Hills Eastern Tuesday night, in Ada. 56-47. The Hawks limited the Trojans to just four points in the third quarter to turn a 3332 half-time lead into a 43-34 advantage heading into the fourth. Mike Gordon led Forest Hills Eastern with 12 points, and Taylor Pawlanta and Bradley Rosenzweig had ten each. The Trojans got 13 points from Stolicker, 11 from McKeough, and ten from Hamilton.

Analise Pickrel had 19 points and five rebounds, while Lindsay McCarty chipped in 14 points and six boards and Alex Heffron added ten points. “That's a team that's used to winning,'' Harvey said, “that's used to going to the state championships. We’re a young team and this is all new for us, and what I mean by a ‘young team' is learning how to win.” The young Scots were led by senior forward Nicole Chase who had 13 points and ten rebounds. Johnson fin­ ished with 15 points and seven boards. Miller finished with ten points, and Weis 11. The Cougar coach thought the contest was one that will help her team down the road. “You can practice against yourself.

The 10 cents was donated by a child who also wanted to make a difference. Together, we can and do make a difference,” said church member Francy Tobin Friday's soup supper was, according to Tobin, “Crazy. Nuts. We ran out of soup. The line was backed up to the stairs, and God used every minute of the time to bless not only those in Haiti, but each one who worked and served and came to be fed. How wonderful to see the fellowship hall abounding with great fellowship.” r This supper was sponsored by the Snuggli Quilters, who quilt sleeping bags that are distributed to the homeless and baby quilts which are in the Thornapple Township Emergency Services ambu­ lances. The group is working on its 99th quilt. In addition to Tobin, mem­ bers of the Snuggli Quilters include Avis Geren, Jackie Eaton, Ruth Geukes, Lois Bremer and Diane Hoskins, The next MUMC soup sup­ per will be Friday, Feb. 12, put on by the handbell choir, to raise funds for new bell tables. The three soups will be vegetable beef, chili and turkey noodle. The supper is $5 per person or $15 per fam­ ily (up to six) and includes, €1 59 salad, egg salad sandwiches, hot dogs and dessert. In addition to the funds raised at the dinner, the church has received more than $2,000 in donations, and boxes of emergency kits are ready to be sent to the United Methodist Committee on Relief which will then send them on. Members of the Thornapple Township and of Village Middleville Concerned Citizens group will meet Thursday, Feb. 4, at the Thornapple Township Emergency Services building at 7 p.m. Organizer Cindy Herweyer said the meeting will review what has hap­ pened in Thornapple Township and the Village of Middleville since the group’s Jan. 22 meeting. Herweyer also said she hopes to have the group think about issues to discuss in the future.

The commis­ sioners agreed with the work of the Gun Lake Overlay District Committee; the sticking point for the plan­ ning commission was how to incorporate the proposed dis- •j tricl into the Yankee Springs zoning ordinance, whether as a single chapter or cross-ref­ erenced through existing chapters. The overlay district com­ mittee began its work this past fall. Composed of the supervisors of the four town­ ships (Yankee Springs and Orangeville in Barry County and Martin and Wayland in Allegan County) and plan­ ning commissioners from three (zoning in Orangeville is done by the Barry County Planning and Zoning Commission), the committee has reached agreement on the few areas of disagree­ ment that existed. The pro­ posal is now before the plan­ O. ning commission of each jurisdiction. The advantage of a single chapter containing all the requirements for engaging in activity within the Gun Lake Overlay Zoning District is that all the information need­ ed would be in one place. The disadvantage would be repetition and redundancy leading to a lengthy chapter. The advantage of cross-ref­ erencing existing ordinances would be a relatively short chapter. The disadvantage would be the need to consult several other chapters to find all the information needed to determine what is permissi­ ble. Another possible sticking point may be the Barry County Planning and Zoning Commission. According to Frank Fiala. chair of the planning com­ mission, James McManus, director of planning for larry County, wants an agreement that would be applicable to all the lakes in Barry County. He is a player in the discussion because the Barry County Planning and Zoning Commission must approve the agreement tor Township. Orangeville McManus provides staffing for the commission. in an attempt to resolve three zoning peculiarities, the commission had sent let­ ters to the three property owners. The letters noted that the present zoning of the property is C-3, commercial, but that the primary use of the property is residential. Surrounding properties are zoned residential and the See ZONING, pg. 2 t LaBarge Dam substation to be replaced ll nfl nniifl mqq/. jfilq'Jl ; noil iiorTT by Fran Fa verman Staff Writer The Caledonia Township Planning Commission approved an application by Energy Consumers to replace the existing substa­ tion at the LaBarge Dam at 84th Street on the Thornapple River. The new substation will have a 138,000-volt line and will alleviate power irregularities in part of the township, areas in Middleville and other townships in the service area. Karen McCarthy, area manager for Consumers Energy, said the new substa- lion will have a direct con­ nection to the transmission line. Greg Kral, the engineer supervising the project, explained that the 46.000volt substation was inade­ quate, especially during the summer when demand was heavier. The existing substa- tion will be removed and the space left vacant. According to information supplied by Consumers Energy, the new substation will have a main power transformer, voltage regulat­ ing equipment, circuit break­ ers to protect the main power transformer, a 138,000-volt power line, and 12.470-volt power lines. The equipment will be enclosed with a seven-foot tall chain link fence topped by one foot of barbed wire. The structure will be 48 feet tall and topped by a 25-foot antenna. The structure will be located on land currently zoned agricultural and will be surrounded by land zoned rural residential, but Kral said the height of the struc­ ture is not expected to pres­ ent any problems, especially since there are no plans to illuminate it.

Dave Chief TTES Middleton said, “We will be doing our first training in February and are looking forward to helping fire fight­ ers throughout the area be prepared to combat fires.'' Several years ago the TTES had installed a training facility, but in 2009 it was vandalized by arson and could no longer be used for training. Following an insurance settlement, the township was able to purchase the new facility, which is larger, pro­ fessional and offers more training possibilities. The new- facility will allow fire- fighters to train for combat­ ing second story fires and also will teach them how to enter the second story of a burning building. Middleton anticipates that TTES will be able to add more training opportunities after he and two other TTES officers receive training this spring. Information about the new fire training facility is avail­ able by contacting the TTES at 269-795-3350.

The let­ ter observes that, while there are no problems with the operations on the properties, the commission's concern is with future use and the impact on the surrounding residential uses. In ensuing discussion with the one property owner who attended the meeting, it became clear that he wanted the zoning to remain C-3. The commission decided that if the uses of the three prop­ !4 erties changed, then they would look again at rezoning them. Recent changes in the Michigan Planning Enabling Act now require planning commissions to compile an •I*. annual report and forward it to the township board. The commission reviewed the draft report •Il and approved sending it to the township board for its Feb. 11 meeting. The commission held 12 regu­ lar monthly meetings on the third Ihursday of each month in 2(X)9, one workshop meet­ ing, and one joint meeting with the zoning board of appeals for a total of 14 meet­ ings. The commission listed the following as accomplish­ ments: • Submission of a master plan amendment to the town­ ship board. • Completion of the M- 179 Corridor Zoning map and overlay ordinance (Chief •H Noonday Corridor). .• Formation of the Capital improvement subcommittee. • Studied the Gun Lake Overlay Zoning District with Wayland, Orangeville and Martin townships. • Amended the used-car sales ordinance. • Proposed a wind turbine ordinance. • Amended the street-side setbacks in the residential lakefront district. The commission also per­ formed 45 site plan reviews, 44 residential and one commercial; considered four special exception requests and two property divisions.

Commissioners also participated in continu­ ing education activities relat­ ed to planning. The report also lists 10 major objectives for 2010: • Complete cooperative, joint planning for Gun Lake zoning, • Create a six-year capital improvement plan for all major township expendi­ tures. • Establish a plan to rotate commission chairmanship and representative to the zoning board of appeals. Jansma are the members of the subcommittee. Strickland reported to the commission that they had identified areas for developing a capital improvement plan: parks, roads, public water, sewer, public safety (fire), informa­ tion technology and expan­ sion of the town hall. All meetings of the sub­ committee are public and are posted at the township hall. In other action, the com­ mission elected its officers for 2010; Fiala, Commissioner Bruce Cook and Strickland were reelect­ ed unanimously as chairper­ son, vice-chairperson, and secretary, respectively. No action was taken at the last township board meeting on appointments to the plan­ ning commission; all com­ missioners and board repre­ sentative Jack Finkbeiner will continue to serve.

Main Street next to the Shell Station. Terry Dale, who repre­ sented the station, discussed the need for the eight parking spaces for employees only. Turning the lot, once the home on it is removed, into a parking lot is allowed now that the village council approved changing the zon­ ing of the lot to “C-2 com­ mercial.” He noted that they current •• ly rent a parking area for employees on the other side of the street on a “month to month" basis and want to be prepared in case that lot is sold by its owner. He did say that employees would have to walk from the new parking lot to the gas station and Subway restau­ rant using the sidewalk. During the public hearing, resident Bruce Schehema, who lives at 504 W.

February 6. 2010/ Page 5 DA M, continued from page Commissioner Mike Kelly, vice chair of the commission, presided in the absence of Chairman Archie Warner, explaining that the project met the township’s definition of essential services; this requirement allows the com­ mission to approve the height of the structure and the anten­ nas. The commissioners' dis­ cussion concerned issues such as a fall zone for the Commissioner antenna. Duane Gunnink said he was not concerned about a fall zone because there are no houses around the substation, just a field, and the substa­ tion is not on the portage drive. Kelly commented that the area was quasi-residential and asked if landscapingll was a concern. Gunnink respond­ ed that he would like to sec some landscaping from the road. Kral agreed that some utility-friendly landscaping would be acceptable to the company. Kral said he was aware of concerns about expanding parking area, the area. Commissioner Don Koopmans, who is the town­ ship board liaison to the commission, said, the town­ ship is “thinking about purchasing property for parking for people using the river.” Kral agreed that when the old substation is removed and the site is graded, the gravel would be left behind for the parking area. Koopmans moved to (o approve the project with the following conditions: apply­ ing for a township storm water permit, leaving the gravel and grading to a park­ ing area, and light screening (landscaping) on the north side. The motion was approved unanimously. Also on the agenda was a final site plan review for Great Lakes Convenience, owners of a gas station/convenience store facility at 6785 Whitneyville Road. Campau Corner. Don Ziemke, agent for the com­ pany, attended the meeting to address concerns expressed by commissioners over a preliminary site plan review.

Twelve sears old. she has a rare form of severe aplastic anemia. This disease affects approximately three out of every one million people, according to a flyer promoting fund raising events on Saturday, Feb. 27. She is now fighting for her life. Last March she had liver failure and was diagnosed with auto-immune hepatitis. In May, a bone marrow biop­ sy showed that her body was no longer producing bone marrow. Since March. 2009. she has had more than 100 blood infusions. According to the fund rais­ ing flyer, she is no longer responding to the medica­ tions that were to help her bone marrow produce white cells. Her medical condition is in complete failure. She had 28 tests to prepare for a bone marrow transplant originally scheduled for December or January, but the donor backed out and her hospital is now searching for another donor. The fund raising flyer reads. “This is a girl filled with hopes who still dreams of her future.

Ziemke said the permits were in process. Koopmans contin­ ued, asking about the hydro­ carbon sponges that would be used to remove hydrocar’•IL ns from the retention ponds. “Maintenance on the sponges — what is the main­ tenance schedule?” asked Koopmans, adding that his concern was over the river and the lake. On being told that Ziemke and his associates had been unable to find anything in the commissioners literature, reacted. Kelly said, I think it is fair to require something to be on file in the township office.” Gunnink said he wanted a written schedule of replace­ ment for the sponges. Ziemke said they wanted to monitor it themselves. Parent wanted to know, how the sponges will be disposed of. He appeared to accept the answer that a com­ mercial company was used to dispose of them. Commissioner Tim Morris •a asked about landscaping. Koopmans reentered the discussion, saying that satellite diesel pumps were not shown on the plan before the commission. Ziemke responded, “It is not a satellite. It is one pump with an arm that can be accessed from either side, Newer technology allows this.” At a previous appearance, satellite pumps for diesel had been considered an issue because of the potential to attract a different and increased truck volume than currently is attracted by the station. Gunnink weighed in, say­ ing. “The plan doesn’t show the equipment layout.” He was told that that the company was expecting to have that when it applied for the building permit. “Signage is the last issue to be addressed.” said Kelly, “The 160-square feet is a guideline.” Ziemke explained that they were aiming for an artistic look, an art-deco style.

Board of review meetings will be held at the township offices, 250 Maple St. Tuesday, March 9, from 2 to 9 p.m. and Thursday, March 11, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. All appearances before the board are by appointment only and can be made by calling the township offices at 616-891-0070 during nor­ mal business hours. Members of the board are Township Assessor Laura Stob, along with Adam Paarlberg, Cathy Jackson and Butch Walton. Jennifer Christian, town­ ship clerk, noted that assess­ ment notices will be mailed shortly. In other action related to taxes, the board adopted a resolution setting guidelines for claiming a poverty exemption, which defers the payment of property taxes until the residence is sold. A copy of the guidelines may be obtained at the township offices. Fire Chief Brian Bennett used the initial public com- ment period at the beginning of the meeting to thank the board and the public safety advisory committee (PSAC) for its support and assistance in making possible the recent purchase of a replacement fire truck. Money from the public safety millage is set aside every year to fund large cap­ ital equipment purchases; the amount to be added to the fund this year is $121,836. Over the years, the funds have been used to upgrade both equipment and facili­ ties; part of the cost of the fire barn came from that fund. The proposed remodel­ ing of some space in the fire barn for new township offices would house multiple government agencies under one roof. Bennett added that the total cost would be less than building new space. Responding to a question about efforts to sell the 1996 truck, he said there have been some inquiries but no serious discussions to date. He ended, saying that the truck is in good shape and that he’s listed it for $90,000. The board moved on to reports from the planning commission and Supervisor Bryan Harrison. Don Koopmans, trustee and board liaison to the planning com­ mission, summarized the activities of the commission briefly, noting that the com­ l[t/enli/ie £7ioses c L.

Among its activities were renewal of a mining permit for the Whitneyville Sand Company and approval of the Foremost-Farmers Insurance Company expan­ sion project and a residence Davenport hall for University. The commission reviewed ordinances dealing with illu­ mination, the creation of high-density housing and signage. No action was taken by the commission on adopt­ ing the International Property Maintenance Code. Harrison reported that while several applications had been received for the post of administrative assis­ tant, he had not been com­ fortable with them and had chosen not to act on them. He also said he had concerns about the cost of funding an additional employee in a tight economy. The need for support for his office was met when Treasurer Richard Robertson was able to release some time from assistant treasurer Jean Patterson because his office has been less busy than usual. No budget adjust­ ments will be needed because the administrative assistant post had been allowed for in the 2010 budget. Harrison also reported that he had received a communi­ cation from Wolverine Construction, the general contractor for the Foremost expansion project; to date, almost all of the projects awarded have been contrac­ tors from Kent County. That trend is expected to continue. Before taking his seat, Robertson wheeled into the meeting room a dolly con­ taining about a 4 1/2-foothigh stack of responses to the request for proposals for a design-build firm to remodel space in the fire bam put out by the township following its Jan. 6 board meeting. Seventeen proposals were received by the Jan. 27 dead­ line. Robertson said the com­ mittee would not be opening the proposals publicly because of the difficulty of evaluating them. He said he was encouraged by receiving so many responses. He asked his committee members if they were still willing to join him in evaluating the propos­ als. Trustee Greg Zoller and Christian assented, and the board confirmed the appoint­ ment of the committee. Robertson said he was looking for a firm that would be a partner on the project. Among the criteria briefly for choosing a firm are cost and local hiring. He said the committee may conduct interviews and will make a recommendation to the board. Two other agenda items approved by the board were the extension of a contract for cleaning offices and the Caledonia Public Library. Christian said it occurred to her as she was getting ready to write a request for quotes that by the end of 2010 or very shortly thereafter, both the offices and the library will be located in consider­ ably larger facilities. The current firm, whose contract would expire in March, agreed to extend the contract through Dec. 31 at the same rate. The second item was the of Randy appointment Fleichman to the board of the Caledonia Community Cable Corporation. He is currently a student in film at Grand Valley State University. Koopmans, in his role as chairman of the PSAC, raised an item that had not been on the board's formal agenda. “We have an emergency issue. It is a problem with the server. IT Right, which has the contract with the town­ ship, has told us we need a new server at a cost of about $1,300 and $135 for battery backup. There would also be a $500 charge for [remote] backup. The chief’s laptop has died and needs to be replaced. We have an esti­ mate $1,010 for the laptop and the software he needs. I will submit it when I get the quotes." Harrison asked about the possibility of using a joint server. “We could do it that way when we are co-located,” ll It responded Koopmans. seems it would be cheaper then. He said that he had con­ sulted members of the PSAC by e-mail but had not yet received responses. “What I want," he added, “is to purchase the server, arrange for remote backup, and buy the laptop based on from approval PSAC responses.” After some discussion, the board approved a motion allowing up to $3,000 to be spent to purchase the items. During the final board comment period, Robertson, concerned that a recent arti­ cle in the Sun and News reporting some concerns expressed by the Village of Caledonia Council about the township's plans to remodel a portion of the fire barn and move its offices into the remodeled space, said he was tired of terms like “deficit of trust” and “lack of accountability.” “We are very open; we work very hard at it. The budget is on the Web site; revenues and costs, treasur­ er's report, audits for prior years. We take pride in trans­ parency,” he said. He contin­ ued. “On the township remodeling transparency — we addressed village issues in 2005; when we bought it (the new fire barn), part of the payment came from the general fund, not the public safety money." “We hired a consultant (Dixon Architecture) in July 2009 at a public meeting. We looked at the possibility of expansion here — per square foot or total cost. It makes sense to do this,” he said. Robertson said that emails had been sent to the village but they were not interested. He also said that the remodeling project had been discussed at the budget workshops. “We are joint owners; we have obligations,” he con­ cluded. Harrison said the down­ town development authority process was moving for­ ward. “It is not a new initiative. There was joint research four or five years ago. There was a village liaison.” [That process originated with the village; then-township Trustee Larry Stauffer was appointed as the town­ ship’s liaison to the village committee.] Harrison continued, noting that the business roundtable he convened in January had been attended by representa­ tives of the school district, the Caledonia Merchants Association, the downtown merchants, the Kiwanis and others. Referring briefly to some of the goals he outlined last year, Harrison commented that shared staff and shared rules mean one could have a joint planning commission. Trustee Dale Hermenet reported that he had attended his first Michigan Townships Association conference and had found it very informative.

Archambault, who writes under the pen name “Ben graduated from Ryan,” Caledonia High School in 1999, before continuing his education in Wisconsin. “From there, I went to the Milwaukee School of Engineering for Biomedical Engineering and then took an unusual path to the Grand Rapids Theological Seminary,” he said. Just after graduating from the seminary, he took a job at Zondervan Publishing in Grand Rapids to make ends meet while looking for another job. “I worked with some men­ tally handicapped individuals and watched how hard recalled they worked,” Archambault. I was rather impressed. But then I found out that they didn’t make much money — which seemed, at first, quite unfair.” This work experience sent him on a journey to research some of the different tech­ niques used in working with “our mentally handicapped brothers and sisters.” He dis­ covered that many people dealt with them, but others loved them. that discovered “I Zondervan wasn't treating t|iem unfairly, but instead they were providing a life­ giving service by putting people to work that no others would.” he said.

Regarding your future, and that of your children, you'll need to prioritize your goals. Some people, when weigh­ ing the merits of investing for retirement versus saving for their children's college educations, conclude that while loans are available for college, none are offered to retirees. Consequently, they focus more heavily on retire­ ment.

Her family was at her side. She died just two days before her 45th birth­ day. Her husband, Andy, and son, Shannon, have been by her side since a flair up of the disease at the beginning of January. During part of that time she was a resident of Trillium Woods, and before her death was under the care of Faith Hospice. . She became known to­ rn ore people in the Sun and News area following last year’s “Art with a Heart” event in Caledonia in May. During the spring of 2009, Velda Rockel, president of the 90 Minute Nanny co­ founder of “Art with a Heart,” said “When we *5^ —J » The Lake family celebrated being together at Art for a Heart. Pictured from left in May of 2009 are Sally, Andrew arid Shannon Lake, opened last year, one of our primary goals was to give to our community whenever we could." She notes that tough times can make everyone think inward. “When we look out into the community it never takes long to realize, regardless of our personal * * * Mfr ** ; ■ 1 ■ • •• . In 2009 Sally Lake was selected as the “Mom for a Day” by the Caledonia Merchants Association. Here optometrist Richard Choryan presented her with a small gift in honor of the day. situation, there is always an opportunity to make the lives of those around us richer.” Rockel and her assistant, Julie Schmader, created an event where students from ages 5-18 years old through­ out the area created works of art featuring a heart. Some of the works were part of a live auction and the others a silent auction at an event that celebrated life on May 8. The “ Art with a Heart" beneficiary was Lake’s selected charity, PanCan, the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. She was at first reluctant and stressed that funds not go to her personal­ ly, but to PanCan to increase knowledge and research. Lake wrote on her web­ site, “Velda explained her desire to give back to the community with the blessing of a growing new business, and she asked if I would be the beneficiary of the "Art with a Heart" program. I drifted to my favorite line of the poem, "To Share is to Live," and was overcome by emotion at this opportunity to allow children to share their artistic talents, to fur­ ther share my story, and ulti­ mately to share with others who struggle with this dis­ ease through support of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. I am humbled and honored to be a part of this incredible initiative.” In 2009, Lake said, “I have been given a lot of gifts in life. I am hoping that the Being named Mother of the Day allowed Sally to spend time with friends. Here she (center) accepts a gift certificate from Paula and Ed Pawloski. Sally Lake accepts the picture her son created for her for Art for a heart in May of 2009. “Art with a Heart" campaign brings more awareness of the disease and support for those diagnosed with it. She notes that for many who have the disease there is little time, often less than six months, between diagnosis and death. She added “I have been blessed with time to spend with my family. I am very impressed with the Nanny's efforts to help me give back to the community as well.” Lake survived the disease for almost five years. The event began with the donation, by Trio Real Estate and Charlie and Holli Hoat,s of more than 300 sheets of watercolor paper for the Emmons Lake Elementary school where her son Shannon was a student Lake went to several “Art with a Heart” events at Emmons Lake where she was down to earth and loved talking to even the youngest students about their pictures. The 90 Minute Nanny then donated 1,000 sheets of watercolor paper to open the contest to students from across the area. Those visit­ ing the event on May 8, 2009 could see hundreds of color­ ful paintings and drawings. Each picture featured a heart. The Art with a Heart event donated more than $10,000 to PanCan. Those who worked with Lake on the Art with a Heart event discovered that she always lived her life to the fullest and gave everything that she had to whatever she was working on at the time. The Caledonia Merchants Association named Lake their 2009 “ Mom of the Year" and she spent a day being feted by Caledonia restaurants and businesses from breakfast time until dinner. Her family joined her at dinner at the Monterey Grille, and she was still amazed, and a little shy about having been selected. Lake told those at the Art with a Heart event about her pain, her love for her family and her community. She invited those interested in learning more to visit her Web site, www.glandon- zoo.net/sallyhome.htm. This Web site is where many of her friends have been read­ ing updates written by Lake before Christmas and by her sister Candy VanDusen after • Jan. 6 when Lake was’hospi- . talized with severe hydration and other effects of her can­ cer. According to her obituary. Lake was an amazing wife, mother, daughter, sister, and business woman. She believed that faith in God provided the driving force in her life. Sally touched many people with her dynamic per­ sonality and those who met her will never forget her. She was an avid golfer and all around athlete.” She is survived by her mother, Barbara Liefbroer, and sisters, Linda (Jerry) Hicks, Brenda Key, .and Candy (Tom) VanDusen. She was preceded in death by her father, Donald Liefbroer. She is also sur­ vived by her mother-in-law and father-in-law, Tobi and Jeanette Lake; brothers-inlaw and sisters-in-law. Christine Lake, Cheryl (Mike) Weeks, Matt (Tammy Munger) Lake, Tobi (Billie Jo Lowry) Lake, Angela (Phillip) Kowalczyk, and Gregory Lake; numerous nieces and nephews, Karla (Cory) Bigger, Michael Key, Brennan Lowry, Rozalyn, Madelyn, and Ethan Kowalczyk. Services were held Feb. 5 at Holy Family Catholic . Church in Caledonia. People attending the funeral learned what made Sally live her life to the fullest. Born Feb. 3, 1965 in Grand Rapids, Lake excelled at golf, tennis and softball while in middle and high schools. She graduated from East Kentwood High School with a 4.0 GPA as valedicto­ rian in 1983 and from Davenport College again as valedictorian with a 4 0 GPA. She began her career at Spartan Stores in April of 1983 as an assistant buyer and rose to position of vice president of marketing and vice president of merchan- dising, becoming the first, and only to date, female executive officer. While at Spartan she was a leader to help cure racism. It was one of her major passions. She headed the “Healing Racism" group at Spartan Stores. Her hope was for equality for all. She and Andrew Lake were married April 30, 1994 and celebrated the birth of their pride and joy, Shannon Isaac, on Nov. 29, 1998. Sally Lake changed her career path in June 2006 with a move to Fairly Painless Advertising, where she worked until her death. Besides playing sports, Lake loved watching sports and being a spectator. During her last illness she would watch the video of Shannon's school basketball games and the Web site updates listed the ones he won and lost. Lake loved life, her fami­ ly, her God and Holy Family Church where she was a fre­ quent reader. According to her family “her smile was infectious and her attitude always upbeat even when she was dealing with a terminal ill­ ness. She never felt sorry for herself or never became angry at God or others." Friends and family say, “she was smart, clever, a fan­ tastic speaker and writer, and never considered herself bet­ ter than anyone else. Sally loved to laugh even if it was *5 at herself. Few people may know that Lake was instrumental in the drive to expand Davenport University's cam­ pus to include’ the new Caledonia site, and that she holds a position on the exec­ utive committee. She was awarded the 2003 Excellence Professional Award from the University. Memorial contributions may be made to the PanCan Pancreatic organization.

At McFall Elementary, every classroom that collects at least 500 box tops will receive an ice cream treat. Students should bring the box tops fastened to collec­ tion sheets that include the names of their respective teachers. At Lee, the classes are participating in a building­ wide competition. Lee’s PTO and principal Tim Shaw have organized a fun event. Because Lee is working together as a school, the school-wide goal is $750. If Lee students reach this goal, they will win an extra long recess and Shaw will have a crazy hair day. The Page PTO is promot­ ing a Box Tops collection contest with an Olympics theme. The students are bringing in box tops to their classrooms to compete for weekly classroom treats. The overall top collecting fourth and fifth grade classes will receive an extra recess where they will play Page Winter Olympics games. There is a collection box in the Page main office. Each box top collected earns each school 10 cents. This may not seem like much, but Lee Elementary collected more than $1,500 during the last collection in October. All the money col­ lected through Box Tops is currently going directly to Lee playground equipment. Seif The school will be using the money earned during this collection to help add safetysurface mats below the swings and slides.

Both Mike Lytle, who ran the workshop session, and member council Phil VanNoord stressed that council members could make no decisions at the work ses­ sion. At the Feb. 9 council meeting, issues that had been discussed at the workshop session were referred to the personnel committee which will bring them back to the council meeting on Feb. 23. Village Clerk Jean Lamoreaux presented coun­ cil members with informa­ tion on grants for energy­ efficient projects.

Count Day became Thursday, Feb. 11. Thornapple Kellogg has 3,008 students to submit to the state for the “spring" count. That is an increase of 12 students from the fall tally. Gary Superintendent Rider said, “With funding formulas in the spring not as “This is an encouraging sign for this district," he said. for number The Community Caledonia Schools is 4,145 which is down 12 from the fall count. “This is typical for the count," spring count,” said Caledonia Superintendent Jerry Phillips said. “We usu­ ally remain even or a little less in the spring each year." He added, “We already know that our numbers will be going up this spring as we have heard from several families moving into the district within a few weeks." significant as in the fall, we should see a small increase in financing." School districts receive 75 percent of their funding based on the fall numbers. They receive the final 25 percent of funding after the second count. Rider noted that many school districts lose students when the count is held. He noted that this is an attrac­ tive community. He appre­ ciates that while other dis­ tricts may be losing stu­ dents, Thornapple Kellogg is staying stable and even increasing slightly. 'j by Fran Fa verman Staff Writer While a major portion of last Monday’s Caledonia Village Council meeting was devoted to the usual reports, two significant areas of dis­ cussion were not on the for­ mal agenda: taxes and the state of communications between the township and the village. Caledonia Village President Scott Williamson began the tax discussion by referencing a press report stating Caledonia’s tax rev­ enues had declined by 5.6 percent. ”It is setting us up for a tax hike this year,” he said. It should be noted that an attempt in 2009 to set a high­ er tax rate failed on a tie­ vote. At that time, members of the council who were opposed to the increase cited the state of the economy as their reason for denial. Glenn Gilbert, trustee, said that he wanted the Finance Committee (Human Resources and Finance) to do a study before the coun­ cil’s April meeting. "What does the size of the tax increase have to be?” he asked. Williamson added that he and Treasurer Jill Harrison were on the same wave length about taxes. He is also concerned about tax issues as they relate to a downtown authority development (DDA). Terry Mulvihill, trustee, said he agrees on the tax issue but also wants to take a look at further budget cuts. Trustee Sharon Mortensen commented, "The village public is oblivious to discus­ sions about taxes.” She continued, "When we See TAXES, pg. IS I I < I ■; > I Troians re verse their fortunes agains t Has tings by Brett Bremer V I I Thornapple Kellogg head coach Tom Fletke (right) embraces senior Thomas Tabor after his win over Hastings at Thursday’s Division 2 District Tournament. (Photo by Brett Bremer) Sports Editor Thornapple Kellogg senior Thomas Tabor had to be con­ vinced by his father, Aaron, and his coach, Tom Fletke to even step out on the mat Thursday. Now he’s glad he did. Tabor's 9-4 victory over Hastings’ Matt Schilds was huge in the Trojan varsity wrestling team's 32-26 victory over the Saxons in the District 2 Division match Championship Thursday at Thornapple Kellogg High School They told me it was all about heart," Tabor said. “If I showed that, I'd do better than anyone expected." Tabor had a tightly wrapped right wrist, after having surgery for carpal tunnel a few weeks ago, and was also battling bronchitis. He still had the energy to break a 4-4 third period tie a take down and three nearfal| against points Schilds. Tabor didn't wrestle at Saturday's . O-K Gold Conference Finals, where the Trojans finished second to the Saxons, and he was one of four TK wrestlers who avenged losses against Saxon wrestlers from the league dual which Hastings won by the score of 31 -21. Bumps and bruises played a big role Thursday. Joey Pawloski was another Trojan who was downed in the league dual, but scored a win. He had the Saxons' Austin Endsley on his back in the third period of their 135pound match, and the offi­ cials ruled that Endsley want­ ed to default due to a shoul­ der injury. The win gave the Trojans' six big points. “(The officials) said that (Endsley) was defaulting, in essence tapping out. There is no such thing as a tap-out in high school wrestling," said Hastings’ head coach Mike Goggins. He felt that Pawloski should have been awarded four nearfall points, and Endsley should have been allowed a minute of injury time to decide whether or not he could continue. There were 40.6 seconds left on the clock, and Pawloski would have held a 5-4 lead at that point. That's all that should have been called. Goggins said. “There was nothing illegal. Everything was fine. It just should have been called that way. “That's nine-point a swing. That's a nine-point 44 swing in an eight-point match.’’ Van Thang started the night off for Thornapple Kellogg at 119 pounds, top­ ping Hastings' Alex Auer 115. Auer topped Thang in their first meeting of the season. Trevor Dalton at 130 pounds also reversed his fortunes against the Saxons, topping Mitchell Brisboe 10-2 at 130 pounds.

Max Coon named TK’s Rotary student for January The fine arts teachers at Thornapple Kellogg High School have named Max Coon as the Rotary Student of the Month for January. He is the son of Ted and Julie Coon. For several years. Coon has relegated himself to serv­ ice and behind-the-scenes work, said his teachers. The majority of this work has been on the backstage crew of plays and musicals. Coon stands out. they said, because he does not simply work on the backstage crew, he takes it upon himself to do things without being told. He also helps with set construction and tear-down even when those in the cast do not.

Coon takes pride in his work and knows that the backstage work, as well as other tasks and organizational efforts, all serve to make shows suc­ cessful. Coon also is committed to the Environmental Action Council. The band uses about 150 bottles of water during each football game. He took it upon himself to bring recycle bins to the field prior to the game and pick them up afterward. His effort prevented more than 30 pounds of plastic bottles from ending up in landfills. According to his teachers Coon is a ‘yes’ man. He has never been unwilling to do anything extra he has been asked to do. He accepts even the most menial of tasks with enthusiasm. He is the kind of person who embodies the mantra of Rotary.

Saturday, February 13. 2010 Hastings High School student wins $1,000 in $2 bills by Patricia Johns Staff Writer Tony Scimeca of Design Temperature Corporation of Chicago visited and toured the Bradford White water heater manufacturing facility in Middleville in October of 2009. He said he came away from his visit impressed with the hard work and dedication of the employees. The visit reminded Scimeca of the hard work and dedication of his mother who was an assembler in an electronics factory in Chicago when he was growing up. visit. Following that Scimeca decided to sponsor the Design Temperature Corporation Essay Contest. ‘What my Parent's Job at Bradford White Corporation Means to Me.’ When he returned to Bradford While to announce the winner Saturday, Jan. 30, Scimeca talked about his mother working in a factory for more than 65 years, start­ ing when she was 15 after only two years of high school during the Depression and how much her dedica­ tion meant to him. He also talked about the “J Love Lucy" episode where she is overwhelmed by the chocolate factory line. When he met with the eight students who had sub­ mitted essays, he told them and their parents in the audi­ ence that “his mother and father were examples who inspired him to work hard and start his own business." Essays in the contest had to be 1,000 words or less, sub­ mitted by Dec. 28, 2010, writ­ ten by children in First through 12th grades who were current Bradford White Corporation Union UAW 1002 represented employees. Scimeca told the group and Eric Lannes, executive vice president and general manager of the Middleville facility, that he was deeply moved by the eight essays. He shared the essays with educators and business lead­ ers and they told him that picking a winner would be very difficult. Selecting the winner was Thornapple Kellogg Middle School teacher Mary McLellen. winner The Ashley VanderLinde, 15. is a student at Hastings High School. Her parents are Jessica and James VanderLinde. She won $1,000 in $2 bills. Also entering essays were Cody Murphy, 9, Zach Orsbom. Jackson 13, Fliearman. 8, Jesse Waldron. 11, Travis Tolan. 16.

She may not know this, and I may not act it some of the time, but she is and always will be a role model in my life. She has shown me to believe in myself and to always keep my head held high and keep fighting for what I want.

After consulting with an attorney, it was shared with the atten­ dees of the meeting that if the village residents wanted to combine their money to have an attorney look over the contract with the village and Potter's, that would be possi­ ble. But we wanted to make residents aware of the fact that if this was done, the vil­ lage would then use village taxpayers' dollars to hire a village attorney. If pursued further into the courts and if the contract could be broken and there were penalties that would need to be paid to Potter's, again the village would be using the taxpay­ ers' money to pay the fees. In our March meeting, if the village residents wish to pursue this further, we can do that. It also came up about either combining the town­ ship and village governments into a single unit of govern­ ment, or like many other areas are doing, becoming a charter township. By doing this, there would be several issues that would need to be looked into, but because of the present econ­ omy, there are many commu­ nities that are moving in that direction to save money and stop duplicating depart­ ments. Just recently the City of Milford made this deci­ sion to look into this possi­ bility. Milford Township Supervisor Don Green said his group will develop crite­ ria and “look at all alterna­ tives, which includes the possibility of dissolving the village altogether, city hood and leaving things as they are.” The Concerned Citizens group is going to contact Mr. Green and several other townships that have become charter townships and share our findings at our next meeting Friday, March 26. at 7 p.m. at the TTES facilities in Middleville. The only way change can be made is by the people coming together, get­ ting involved in the township/village government and letting your concerns be shared. Cindy Herweyer. Middleville I h .

But this year, why not go beyond the traditional gifts and give a present that can make a difference in your loved one’s life for years to come? Specifically, why not give a financial gift? Of course, you could always put some cash or a check in a card, but with a little creativity, you can make a financial gift that has a longer-lasting and more profound impact. Here are a few suggestions: • Give stocks. You will almost certainly surprise someone by giving a gift of stock, perhaps representing a company that makes prod­ ucts or services favored by the recipient. If you’re giving shares of stock that you own, you can give up to a value of $13,000 per year without incurring gift taxes. Since the recipient will be liable for income taxes if he or she eventually sells the stock for a gain, you will need to pro­ vide the recipient with the stock's “cost basis” — the I 1 ■ I < .V I I »' I Ikb I » > >41 * I five* years old and the account holder is under age 591/2.) While you can t make a direct contribution to someone else's IRA, you can write a check for that pur­ pose. And it will likely be appreciated, because many people have trouble fully funding their IRAs each year. (In 2010, the IRA con­ tribution limit is $5,000, or $6,000 if the IRA owner is over age 50, although these limits may be increased if they’re indexed for infla­ tion.) • Make a charitable gift in your valentine's name. organizations Charitable need financial assistance more than ever. Consider making a gift to a charity that’s important to your valentine. You’ll be supporting a worthy cause, and as an added bonus, you may receive a tax deduction your­ self. • Issue a “Get Out of Debt” card. You probably can’t take all your valentine's debts, but you may want to give a card stating you'll handle one car payment or a monthly credit card bill. The lower your valentine's debt load, the more he or she can invest for the future. By taking any of these steps, you can help make Valentine's Day even more meaningful for your loved one — and your gift will be remembered long after the holiday is over. This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor. Edward Jones, its employees and Financial Advisors do not offer tax or legal advice. amount you paid for the stock. • Give bonds. Some people may not think of bonds as particularly exciting invest­ ments, but they have much to offer — including regular interest payments. Furthermore, if you give a municipal bond, you may also be supporting a local infrastructure project, such as the construction or improvement of a hospital or school, that can benefit the community in which your valentine lives. And the interest payments on a taxfree “muni” are exempt from federal taxes and may also be exempt from state and local taxes. (Municipal bonds may be subject to the alternative minimum tax.) • Help fund an IRA. If your valentine has an IRA. he or she has chosen a good vehicle in which to save for retirement. A traditional I IRA's earnings grow tax deferred, while a Roth IRA's earnings can grow tax free. (However, distributions from a Roth IRA may be subject to taxes and a 10 percent penal­ ty if the account is less than •4 MSU releases dean’s list for fall semester A >• a n ai i is ^i 0 ifsitowy to’}5 to iter tv i c 1 • 11 The dean’s list at Michigan State University honors all full-time undergraduates in the university who earn a 3.50 or better grade point average for a given semester.

The picture submitted by the family to go with this story is one of her holding grand daughter Amelia Montigny while Mary was receiving her chemotherapy. McLellen is wearing pink in the picture and the baby is sleeping in her arms. The family said, "we believe this captures the essence of everything Mom was." Mary was born in St. Johns, Mich. Jan. 6, 1958, the daughter of Raymond and Jacqueline (Laboda) Schneider. She married Michael McLellen in St. Johns in 1979. She is survived by her husband, daughters Christin (Bob) Armstrong, and Jennifer (Gerard Montigny) McLellen, son, Ian McLellen and grand daughter Amelia Rose Montigny. She is also survived by sisters, brothers, and many other relatives. Mary was a member of the St. Mary Magdalen Parish in Kentwood where she lived. According to the obituary provided by the Osgood Funeral Home in St. Johns, “she held on to her deep faith throughout her life.” She received her bache­ lor's degree from Aquinas College in 1981.

Mission Possible required participants to build a Rube Goldberg-type device that is deliberately over-engineered to perform a very simple task in a very complex fashion, usually including a chain reaction. Taking first place was the Menominee White team. In Mousetrap Vehicle, participants were required to build a car that must go for­ ward an unknown amount of meters and come back to its original starting point. The winner was the Grand Rapids Christian Black team. Winning the elevated bridge was the West Ottawa Red team and winning the trajectory event was the West Ottawa Black team. Students faced a number of substantial challenges in this year's competition. Some of them were finding the rooms due to the ongoing construction at the high school. Kyle Jackson and Brittney Benjamin, alumni from past Thornapple Kellogg High School Science Olympiad teams assisted during the competition. Rider actually gave some students, coaches and parents an inside look at the construction area before the awards ceremony. While waiting for results, TK Science Olympiad coach JT Miller gave a brief song segment and an “electrostatic fencing” demonstration. Those waiting in the TKHS gymnasium could watch a slide show of the day, as well. Hastings High School will ■ ..'J host a practice session for area Science Olympiad teams Feb. 20.

Sandy Ayers, village man­ ager and clerk, added, "A lot of it is improvements we need to make to roads and sewers." And therein lies the prob­ lem. Its roots may be traced to a series of tax cuts, initiat­ ed in 1998 by the village council, which reduced the 8.953 millage rate to 6.715. This reduction was followed by a second reduction in 2000 to 6.044 mills, and a final reduction to the current rate of 5.44 mills was made in 2002. Revenues remained stable because property val­ ues were increasing. However, there were no pro­ visions for building reserves to deal with capital improve­ ments, and in 1998 there were clear warnings about problems with aging sewers in the portion of the village that had public sewer serv­ ice. The second issue is the state of communications between the village and township officials. Craig Mitchell, trustee and council liaison to the town­ ship board of trustees, said, "I have been on the board for 18 months. There is a lack of partnership between the township and the village; what does one do that the other doesn't? We are sepa­ rate entities - there are lots of questions. We owe it to the people to see what the obstacle is."

Energy grants were also discussed at the meeting. Galdes said his firm has asked for information about the types of projects funded to enable the committee to determine whether or not a project at the WWTP would be competitive in the next round of funding and whether it would be benefi­ cial. Ayers reported she had been in contact with Nick Plummer whose company had provided services for the community clean-up day last year. The date chosen for this year’s effort is Saturday, received an informal notifi­ cation that the two grants she wrote applying for funding for sirens to warn of emer­ gencies had been approved. In his formal report, Williamson said he has tabled his idea of skipping council meetings when the agenda is particularly light and the only real formal action would be approval to pay the village's bills. According to him after researching the idea, it turns out the process would be far more difficult and complex than he thought it would be. "It did not make sense fro m a run-the-business standpoint," he said. Williamson had envisioned the idea as a cost-saving measure. In its only formal action of the meeting, the council approved a request from township Treasurer Richard Robertson to strike delin­ quent 2004 personal proper­ ty taxes from the rolls. The taxes were owed by busi­ nesses that are now defunct. The request was approved unanimously. In the final council com­ ment period prior to adjourn­ ment, Williamson suggested that the village's April newsletter should contain some information about the possibility of a tax increase. Dan Erskine, trustee, said he had been contacted by peo­ ple interested in having a farmers' market in the Village of Caledonia Village Centre mall. There is some question as to whether or not the D & W Fresh Market lease bans such an activity. It was recommended that the persons interested in the market contact the owner ot the center. Erskine also expressed concern about the status of the village/township hall.

The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. at the Masonic lodge, 123 E Main St., Middleville. “The reason we wanted to start a mower racing club is, having known about lawn mower racing for several years, 1 watched the first one in person and was immedi­ ately hooked,” said Joe Misak, event organizer. “A buddy and co-worker talked me into building one, and having worked on mowers all my life, I never would have thought I would have got so much enjoyment out of building one." There are two major sanc­ tioning bodies for national circuits, known as the United States Lawn Mower Racing Association (www.letsmow.com) and the American Mower Racing Association (www.golawnmowerracing.com). “The new Middleville club, which will be named at the first meeting, will be a local chapter of the American Racing Mower Association (ARMA), and we are currently working with the Barry County fair­ grounds as a location for the track,” Misak said. “I have raced a lot of dif­ ferent things over the years, and all were the same — the person with the biggest wal­ let had the fastest ride," Misak said. “That’s not so with mower racing.” “The people 1 have met ... it’s all about the family involvement.” Misak said his goal is to have a fun time and generate NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING and at the same time, we want families to be able to come out to the track and watch or race, enjoy a good time with friends and not break the bank doing so,” Misak said. “We want to have fundraisers for local charities, fire depart­ ments, schools and any other organization that needs help.” For more information, contact Joe Misak at joejkyas@yahoo.com or 616828-7805 or Ron Smith 616281-2819.

Kenny Price chipped in seven points and four rebounds. Andrew Wingeier, Greg Hamilton, and Jacob Bultema had six points each. Laker said that Stolicker had 14 of his 21 points in 64 the second half, and that Stolicker did a better job of creating space for himself on the weak side of the lane and his teammates did a better job of getting him the basketball in a position to score. The Trojan coach was also impressed with his junior guard Wingeier, who helped settle the team down at times. “Andrew Wingeier did a great job off the bench in kind of helping control the pace of the game, Laker said.

I like to beat everybody,” he said. The Saxons did beat everybody in the O-K Gold Conference this season, going a perfect 7-0 in duals and then winning Saturday’s O-K Gold Conference Finals at Grand Rapids Catholic Central by more than 30 points over the second-place Trojans. The Saxons’ senior 140pounder Gage Pederson did­ n't have any trouble saying it after he topped Thomapple Kellogg's Cody Lydy 8-5 in the final round to win their weight class. “It makes it just that much better. It's nice beating kids, but beating a kid from Middleville makes it that much better,” Pederson said. Pederson won the second individual conference cham­ pionship of his high school career, after also accom­ plishing the feat as a sopho­ more, by going 3-0 on the day. He pinned Ottawa Hills’ Rashaun Reid in the opening round, and then Caledonia's Justin Bigger in the semifi­ nals. “I had to win it this year. I have been working for both states and this, but this was just a milestone leading up to state,” Pederson said. ■ & z J .

(Photo by Brett Bremer) The Saxons have now won five O-K Gold Conference championships in a row, and have taken at least a share of the title in eight of the past nine seasons. “We had 14 of 14 kids medal. We were the only ones to do that, even though Middleville had more in the finals. We had every one at least make the consolation,” said Hastings' head coach Mike Goggins. Hastings finished the day with 206.5 points, followed by Thornapple Kellogg 171.50, Caledonia 132.50, Forest Hills Eastern 81.50, Wayland 80.5, Catholic Central 61.5, and Ottawa Middleville and Caledonia Rotary Clubs are seeking alumni varsity basketball players to play in their first annual Legacy Alumni basketball game March 20th.

All ages wanted. Please register by February 28th §? o 2 Hills 9. The Saxons and Trojans could have finished a bit closer in the end, but Trojan senior 171-pounder Nick Tape had his 171-pound championship match against Caledonia’s Brett McCarty brought to an early end as he was whistled for a flagrant misconduct penalty. That cost the Trojans all the points he had earned throughout the day, and prevented him from wrestling in Thursday's team district tournament. For McCarty, it was the second conference champi­ onship of his career. His teammate Tanner Zych also won his second individual conference title, knocking off Hastings' Austin Endsley 3-1 in the 135-pound final. They were the only two Caledonia champs, after the Scots advanced seven wrestlers to flight champi­ onships. . “I was happy that we got seven guys in the finals,” Caledonia head coach Shawn Veitch said. “I thought we wrestled really well to get into the finals.

The day's other league champions were Wayland’s Derek Fifelski (130 pounds), Zack Corey (119) and Sam Johnston (125), and Forest Hills Eastern's Tim Lambert (112).

He wrote, “It was great to see so many people there to learn about the financial emergency that is coming for all school districts in Michigan, including our own. I believe we were able to accomplish our goals for the evening. First, we were able to educate the commu­ nity to the nature and scope of the problem; and second, we set up a system for people to be able to provide us with feedback and ideas to con­ sider." Since the January meet­ ing, the district has gotten feedback through e-mails, letters, handwritten notes and personal one-on-one meetings. “All in all, we have ideas from over 45 different members*of our community and staff," he reported. “Although 1 can't tell you that there is any one idea that will be a magic pill to fix our funding issues, I can tell you that people spent a great deal of time giving serious thought to their feedback, and we received several ideas we will be able to implement, no matter how small the savings might be." Rider and the administra­ tive team is sorting through the suggestions and begin­ ning to work on a draft plan for the budget for the 201011 school year to present to the board of education. “One thing 1 am quite cer­ tain of is that we will be cut­ ting programs and people we tioned. “None of us will be happy about any reductions we will have to make at this “...We will be cutting programs and people we do not want to lose, and we will be making decisions based on choosing from the lesser of two evils.” - Thornapple Kellogg School Superintendent Gary Rider do not want to lose, and we will be making decisions based on choosing from the lesser of two evils," he cau­ time. Not a great position to be in, but for now it may be what has to be done." He concluded, saying, “We will do our best to be good stewards of our resources and, as always, ensure that Thomapple Kellogg Schools continue to be a place where kids come first."

Calley is seeking electon to the state senate seat being held by Alan Cropsey who is termTlimited. The other Republican run­ ning for the Calley\s current house seat is Nashville resi­ dent and Barry County Michael Commissioner Callton, chairman of the county board. Bremer made his candida­ cy announcement at the Feb. 15 meeting of the Barry County Republican Party. He had considered seeking the house seat four years ago, but instead supported Susan Vlietstra of Thornapple Township in the primary 1 ‘ .16^. I I I I I J I I 1 q* £ * Mike Bremer election for that position. He added that he had expected Calley to complete the three terms allowed in the house before running for the state senate. Bremer said he considers himself still new to politics, having completed one year on the county board. “I have given a lot of thought to running for this position, and I think that I will offer a choice to the voters this year," he said. He said the biggest hurdle will be finances. “I respect Mike Callton, but I think that some people may be looking for change," added Bremer. Callton has already been endorsed for the position by both Calley and Birkholz. “Something has to change in Lansing," said Bremer, adding that he considers his education and his previous experience working in the personnel department at Bradford White Corp, in Middleville give him more than just an opinion about funding changes at the state level. remer said he would like to see a well-educated, hardworking employed population in Michigan. This would allow the legislature to realign the state budget. Dorian Brandt of Caledonia has been appre­ hended in a drug bust by the Kent Area Narcotics Enforcement Team, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the United States Attorney's Office. Brandt, was said to be one of the biggest dealers caught in the operation and has been charged with conspiracy to distribute over 100 kilo­ grams of marijuana. He pleaded guilty and is await­ ing sentencing. He faces five to 40 years behind bars. According to the Kent County Sheriff's Department, the operation involved a multi-state mari­ juana drug trafficking organ­ ization centered in the Kent County area. The organiza­ tion was responsible for dis­ tributing more than 3,000 pounds of marijuana since 2008. The value of the mariSee ELECTION, pg. 21juana is at least $3.6 million.

The marijuana was pur- chased in Albuquerque, N.M., and smuggled in cars and trucks to Grand Rapids Belding and Leroy. The investigation culminated in January 2009 with the arrest See ARREST, pg. 2 Auditor give Yankee Springs a positive report i by Fran Faverman Staff Writer Yankee Springs The Township Board heard good news from auditor Joel Frederickson of Siegfried Crandall PC at its monthly meeting Thursday, Feb. 11. According to Frederickson, the township received an unqualified opin­ ion, the highest available. The general fund even showed an increase in 2009. He said the general fund has a balance that would cover township operations for about 15 months. Other funds such as the fire equipment fund, sup­ ported by a dedicated millage, also are in good shape. The water fund, which pays for the water tower and the arsenic removal plant the township was forced to install, has a balance of $291,000 and a balance owing of $970,000; payments, are being made according to schedule. The only cautionary note came when he said money market accounts were not necessarily insured. While at one point during the finan­ cial crisis the accounts had been insured up to $250,000 per account per financial institution, he said the regu­ lations were constantly changing. The township does have some exposure through the accounts, he said. Commissioner County Stolsonburg Craig announced that the Barry of Board County Commissioners has arranged a meeting for Thursday, March 25, at 9:00 a.m. at the offices of the Barry-Eaton District Health Department, 330 W. Woodlawn Ave., Hastings, to discuss the ordi­ nance requiring the inspec­ tion of wells and septic fields whenever property is up tor sale. Stolsonburg, a real estate agent, said enforce­ ment of the ordinance is with the health department and questions have arisen regard­ ing the department's inter­ pretation of the ordinance. Stolsonburg reported that the recently adopted committee-of-the-whole structure for the board appears to be working well and resulted in a savings of $2,000 in board payroll for the month of January. He said the urban service area has been extend­ ed to the property owned by Pennock Hospital in Rutland Township; the extension means that should construc­ tion of a new hospital occur, the facility would be able to purchase water and sewer utilities from the City of Hastings. Dave Middleton, director of Thornapple Township Emergency Services, deliv­ ered his report, saying that in the month of January the department responded to 13 calls in Yankee Springs: eight medical, two fire, and two fire and emergency med­ ical services.

Marcy said as a reminder to Thornapple Kellogg com­ munity, “The majority of bond dollars received must be spent within five years on projects the voters have approved." The 2007 bond issue for $29.4 million was passed with the promise to expand the high school with new classrooms, a new auditori­ um and improved traffic flow for students. It also included funds for significant improvements to McFall and Lee elementary schools.

Office furniture has already been ordered, he said The Thornapple Kellogg School and Community Library will be closed for one week at the end of the school year to allow temporary walls to be taken down and removed from the building. After that week, when the parking lot will be repaved as well, the library will be open on its shortened sum­ mer schedule until the new school year begins in September. Bill McLaughlin, field superintendent from Owen Ames Kimball, which is overseeing the construction, said that about 50 people a day are working on the con­ struction. The number may fluctuate slightly, depending on what construction is ongoing, he said. The roof is on and brick work has been completed. The interior space is now heated which aids in the completion work, he added. Rider said he is excited that once the new school year opens, there will be more space for students, and students will have easier access to classrooms and other areas. This year, get­ ting from class to class has almost required a map. Rider said he can’t wait until the new “Main Street” area is open and students have easier access to the new classrooms. He also said he is excited about the new auditorium and backstage areas. The school district is plan­ ning a ribbon-cutting cere­ mony in the fall. »*’* IP . A* < i ft ST P? i IS#!

The couriers were paid up to $5,000 per trip. Eventually, Lizette Blanchard, Robert Whitcomb and Anthony Vangessel were identified as paid couriers for other mem­ bers of the organization. All of the couriers made several trips except for Whitcomb who was caught in Nebraska in October 2008 with a 200-pound load of marijuana destined for Timothy Vangessel and Brandt. It was later learned that this was Whitcomb’s first trip as a courier for the organization.

Callton said, “I welcome my junior colleague to the con­ test and look forward to a vigorous debate on the issues that are impacting all of us in Michigan. No matter what the outcome of the election, the voters win when they have a choice.” Callton began running for the house position in August 2009. I like the matchup, since I am more experienced and have a proven track record of holding down taxes and bal­ ancing tough budgets,” said Callton. “These are the skills the next state representative must have.” 44 were seized. One of the houses is a 5-year-old lake­ front home on Tower Lake in Belding. The other house is a 3year- old home on 10 acres in Leroy, which had large commercial safes built in to the basement and the 60-by40-foot pole bam to secure the drug profits and the mar­ ijuana. Eight members of the organization have been indicted on federal drug trafficking crimes and are being prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s office in Grand Rapids, including the New Mexico supplier for the Michigan and New York members of the organization. Two additional members of the organization were prose­ cuted by the Kent County on state felony drug charges. iiiiiirii V B ’ 11 111 I ipikta Titateu I •• • ■ Eu t u I’M i&iii ■I klftjji 5 k s Is I HASTINGS 4 U| 269-205-4900 Goodrich ZUALITY TREATERS Downtown Hastings on State St. www.GQTI.com «»i Rocking Seats • All Digital Sound s4.50tos5.00 Al I or A TO A #. s ALL SEATS ' TV * except adult evening i Stadium Seating O No passes SHOWTIMES 2/20 - 2/25 O VALENTINE’S DAY (PG-13) SAT-SUN 11:30. 2:00. 4:30. 7:00. 9:30 MON-TH 4:30. 7:00, 9:30 O (S) © PERCY JACKSON & THE OLYMPIANS: THE LIGHTNING THIEF (PG) SAT-SUN 11:20. 1:50. 4:20. 6:50. 9:20 MON-TH 4:20. 6:50, 9:20 o the WOLFMAN (R) SAT-SUN 11:40, 2:20. 4:50. 7:20. 9:50 MON-TH 4:50, 7:20. 9:50 i O® © DEAR JOHN (PG-13) SAT-SUN 11:50. 2:10. 4:40. 7:10. 9:40 MON-TH 4:40, 7:10, 9:40 I 1 C O O F> O N I *"WI ft 9 of 46oz bag ol buttery popcorn 1 I �The Sun and News, Saturday, February 20, 2010/ Page 3 Caledonia Planning Commission sends lighting ordinance to board would have been •IB Commissioners also ques­ light poles tioned light pollution and needed in the parking areas.

Warner moved on to dis­ cuss briefly some commis­ sion activities, particularly the willingness of the com­ mission to meet with the township board over the pos­ sible creation of an R-4, or high-density residential, zon­ ing district. Such a district would be a logical place for apartment buildings, he said. It had been suggested to him by Caledonia Township Supervisor Bryan Hamson that it would be appropriate for the planning commission to undertake the task. In the past, particularly during the revision of the master plan for land use in 2006-08, the allocation of land for high-density resi­ dential development has been an especially con­ tentious issue. Phillips said there was nothing pressing before the commission and that this might be a good time to do some minor clean-up of ordinances. He pointed out that •IB there is some interest in amending the planned unit development (PUD) ordinance to allow PUDs for sites of less than 20 acres.

The original study done by Wade-Trim, indicated there would be no difficulties; a later study commissioned by Progressive A and E for Davenport University indi­ cated that five intersections definitely would need to be upgraded to handle the addi­ tional traffic. A cost estimate for the upgrades of at least $500,000 drew concern from Farmers Insurance Company, Kelly, who is the owner of Wolverine Construction Inc., the general contractor for the project, said that at a meeting with Farmers, Davenport University, Meijer, and the Kent County. County Road Commission (KCRC), the possibility was raised of the Bit availability of state funds because of the number of jobs being created. “During the previous week [Feb. 8 to 12], the KCRC said the state would take 80 percent of the cost;” Kellv. “Farmers and said Kelly. Davenport would split the [remaining] 20 percent.” Five intersections are involved: Kraft Avenue and 68th Street, M-37 and 68th Street, M-37 and 60th Street, Old 60th and 60th streets, and an internal intersection on the Foremost campus. State funds cannot be used for the internal intersection. The estimated cost to upgrade all intersections, according to Kelly, is over $900,000. Responding to a question about a contribution from Meijer, Kelly said company officials said they feel their store is about five years out. “I am hoping for an ease­ ment as their contribution,” he concluded. Commissioner Ric Parent asked about wind turbines. Warner said he had referred the subject to the board and has not heard back from them. He added he did think the commission would have to look at wind turbines because the technology for small generators powered by wind was rapidly advancin t and becoming available for residential applications, Wamer also said he -------thought that outdoor wood burning furnaces also would need to be researched by the commission. Morris said one of the issues is the height of the stack. “It needs to be high enough to allow the smoke to disperse,” he commented. The next regular meeting of the commission will be Monday, March 1, at 7 p.m. in the township hall, 250 Maple St., Caledonia. I I < * f I I Q MERCK A disease that should be taken seriously. I The Risk: If you’ve had chickenpox (and more than 90% of adults in America have), you’re at risk for Shingles. Shingles is caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox. Once a person has had chickenpox, the virus can live, but remain inacinac­ tive, in certain nerve roots within your body for many years. If it becomes active again, usually later in life, it can cause Shingles. The risk for Shingles increases as you get older. Shingles can affect anyone who has had chickenpox at any time, without warning. There’s no way to tell who will get Shingles or when it may occur. Have you had Chickenpox? 1 out of 2 people who live to age 85 will have Shingles. A vaccine is now available by prescription from your doctor for patients 60 or over.

Saturday February 20, 2010 l Bands playing for charity at the Middlevilla Inn by Patricia Johns Staff Writer Steve Wiersum of the in MiddleVilla Inn Middleville had the idea to help charities in the area, introduce music lovers to different music styles and give people a place to dance on Friday nights. The first “charity dance” was held Feb. 12 and was a benefit for the Thomapple Arts Council. Les Jazz Big Band performed and will return on Fridays, March 12 and April 9. The April 9 con­ cert is a benefit for the Middleville Rotary Club’s scholarship fund. Pacific Lite will play on Fridays. Feb. 26. March 26 and April 23. Chance Encounter will bring rock ‘n’ roll March 19 and April 16. The March 19 performance will benefit the Thornapple Kellogg fund honoring Mary McLellen, a longtime TK middle school teacher who died of cancer Feb. 6. and other scholarship funds. A portion of the $7 per person cover charge from each concert and dance will go to the featured charity. Doors open at 6 p.m., and the music will be from 7 to 10 p.m. Reservations are suggest- I ,•.

Charities that would like to be part of this effort should call the MiddleViJIa Inn at either of the above numbers and ask for Shannon. The next concert is by Pacific Lite with Joe LaJoye and Gene Englerth. This is an offshoot of the Pacific Trio. The combined experi­ ence of these two musicians, Wiersum said, “is a wonder­ ful listening treat for all who attend their performances.” The Les Jazz Big Band was established by LaJoye in 1987 to let adult instrumen­ talists in and around the Hastings area play Big Band­ style jazz. The group per­ forms music by greats such as Glenn Miller, County Basie, Duke Ellington and others. Its repertoire includes waltzes and Latin music. Steve Evans, guitarist with Chance Encounter, said he is really looking forward the March 19 performance since it will benefit the McLcllen scholarship. The MiddleVilla Inn and Micro Brewery will be serv­ ing dinners, sandwiches, appetizers and more from the Villa Brew Pub and Grill menu. “We decided to do the charity dances to bring music back to the Middle Villa and help the community,” said Wiersum.

Division I ratings were earned by soloists Dominic Bierenga, Chris Smith and Jazlin Petersen. Bierenga and William Beilfuss also earned a Division I rating for their saxophone duet. All of these students are eligible to participate in the state solo ensemble festival on March 27. In addition to performing a piece, soloists must also perform scales and sight read at the state festival. TKHS students entered six events in the MSVMA vocal solo/ensemble festival also held Feb. 6. Sandy Campbell, Lindsay Genther, Audrey Meads and Crystal Scholma earned First Division ratings and are eli­ gible to advance to the state festival. Vocal students must also be prepared to sight read at the state level. The TK Jazz Band partici­ pated in the CMU Jazz Festival Friday, Feb. 12. Junior Bierenga received the first runner-up soloist award in Class B. He had earned the second runner-up trophy last year at CMU. The TK choirs are gearing up for their mid-winter con­ cert which will be held Monday, Feb. 22, at 7 p.m. at the First Baptist Church on North M-37 in Middleville. by Patricia Johns Staff Writer Middleville native and physician Chris Noah trav­ eled to Haiti Jan. 28 where he spent a week treating res­ idents injured in the Jan. 12 earthquake. Noah was part of a six-person medical team at the Ebenezer Deciple Training Center at Petit Goave which is about 40 miles from Port au Prince. The team of two doctors, nurses, assistant and security person was under the direc­ tion of Nate Yonker, director of the Ebenezer Deciple Training Center. Usually, the center works with Haitian ministers, providing training and education. The group set up a large tent near an existing medical building, where they provid­ ed medical care and adjusted to the conditions. “We performed primarily basic medical care,” said Noah, whose father Melvin also served Middleville as a family physician. “We did no surgery.” The town of Petit Goave has about 100,000 residents, and few medical provisions were available following the earthquake, said Noah. Transporting a patient to Port au Prince meant at least a three-hour drive. There is no X-ray machine in Petit Goave, which meant that some patients had to be sent for X-rays before being treat­ ed. Noah recalled that one patient came with a blood clot in her thigh, and they were concerned that she also had a broken bone in her knee or leg. Noah’s group was aided by U.S. Marines who helped get the patient to Port au Prince. “We sent a written note along with her,” he explained. “When she returned to us, she had a note from the medical clinic say­ ing that there were no broken bones.” Noah said the entire coun­ try is at a disadvantage because of poverty, adding that Haitian residents need hope to thrive, not just to sur­ vive. “Right now there is not too much hope,” he conceded. “There are enormous differ­ ences in lifestyle between the United States and Haiti. Haiti is only 90 minutes from Miami, and it is like landing on the moon when you land at the Port au Prince airport.” Noah had worked with the Three Angels medical group two times before the earth­ quake. He was able to visit their medical building, which withstood the earthquake. Noah suggested that any­ one interested in helping Haiti contact the American Red Cross, Partners in Health or UNICEF. He said he was really impressed by the efforts of Partners in Health. presenting its festival music in preparation for participa­ tion in the MSVMA District Choral Festival Feb, 24.

E eing students, they fig­ ured out ways to have fun while helping. In addition, several classrooms covered the events in Haiti as part of educational activities. At Thornapple Kellogg Middle School, several English classes created newspaper front pages. On many of the front pages hung in the hallways, a major fea­ ture was the earthquake, with diagrams of the epicenter and reports of the destruction that followed. In both Caledonia and TK schools, some of the popular ways to raise funds were col­ lecting pennies and paying a fee for the privilege of wear­ ing a hat during school. Penny collections by kindergarten and first grade students at McFall Elementary totaled more than $1,300. Spare change also was col­ lected by SHOCK (Students Helping Others Choose Knowledge) students at Caledonia High School as part of “Change for Haiti” week at the beginning of February. SHOCK students had containers in each class­ room where students and staff emptied their pockets of change. The Caledonia High School Student Council donated all the proceeds from lunchtime activities during Winterfest week, Feb. 8 to 12. A check for $1,200 from Caledonia High School is being sent to the Red Cross to help the Haitian people . At Caledonia Elementary, students participated in a Hats for Haiti and Snacks for Haiti fund drive Feb. 3 to 5. Students and staff were allowed to wear a hat during this event, but it cost them a $ 1 for every day they wanted to wear headgear. Students also donated their snack money during the three days. Student council members walked the halls each morning holding milk jugs to be filled with money. Staff and students raised more than $875 for the American Red Cross. In the Thomapple Kellogg school district, Lee district. Elementary School’s second and third grade students col­ lected more than 30 boxes of toiletries for the American Red Cross Jan. 25 to 29. They also sold ice cream at lunch to help the effort. Page Elementary School accepted donations during the weeks of Jan. 18 to 22 and Jan. 25 to 29. Students who made contributions were able to wear hats Jan. 22 and 29. Students raised more than $450 which was donated to the Red Cross. The Thomapple Kellogg Middle School hat, slipper, and pajamas day Friday, Feb. 5, raised $800. Students and staff donated $1 to partici­ pate. Some staff members donated $10 to wear jeans the entire week. This effort was sponsored by the TKMS student council. The student council at TKHS sponsored “Help Haiti” week Feb. 1 to 5, rais­ ing $1,452 for the Red Cross. The student council also col­ lected items which are being donated to the Red Cross. 4? • w I I I I "•Rm ■’ *« .s I I8S IS 1 4. . * ’I tkL I o I r IO �The Sun and News, Saturday, February 20, 2010/ Page 9 Josie DeHaan donates hair for third time L ■ e • FT' Ai l»f »»w- w r > ► I •1 I. •] I I — Raymer and her teacher Kristen Bailey who cut her hair and stylist Amanda Wierenga from Shear Attitudes who styled her hair after school.

This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor. When evaluating investments look at value ■ not just price Most investors pay a great deal of attention to the price of their investments — yes­ terday s price, today’s price, tomorrow’s price. next year’s price and so on. And that’s understandable, because we always want the prices of our investments to rise. YeL if you focus too much on prices, you could end up making some costly mistakes. Why? Because price-driv­ en behavior is emotional behavior — and as an investor, you’re much better off making decisions with your head, not your heart. Suppose, for example, that you’ve seen a steep decline in the price of one of your investments. After a while, you may feel that you just can’t take it anymore and you decide to “cut your loss­ es’ by selling the investment. Conversely, you may have an investment that has gone up and up — and to grab even bigger gains, you buy more shares. Both these decisions could backfire on you. When you sold the investment whose price had fallen, you might find yourself on the invest- menl “sidelines” if that same investment starts to turn around. And when you throw more money at an invest­ ment whose price has sky­ rocketed, you're betting against history — because no investment goes up forever. Furthermore, in both cases, your emotions will have led you to violate one of the guidelines of investing: buy low and sell high. But apart from the tactical errors you may make when you over-c incentrate on price movements, you’re also ignoring another key characteristic of investments — their value. Traditionally, an investment’s “value” has been largely defined as whether or not it’s considered “expen­ sive” or “cheap.” That’s why many investors take a close look at a stock's price-toearnings ratio (P/E). Generally speaking, a high P/E means a stock is more expensive, relative to its earnings, than a stock with a low P/E. Investors may be willing to pay more for the high P/E stocks because they feel these companies will be worth more in the future. •it.

Each firefighter has two complete sets of turnout gear; a set consists of pants and jacket. The equipment receives hard use and needs to be replaced periodically, he explained. Rather than replace it all at once, he said he prefers to schedule replacement. Middleton discussed the need for self-contained apparatus breathing (SCBAs) or air pack and testing equipment for hydro- cyanic gases; the gases have become so prevalent due to the use of synthetic materials in home furnishings, it has become necessary’ for fire personnel to enter fire scenes wearing SCBA units. Janice Lippert, township clerk, asked Middleton if he had a list of persons who hold keys to the Yankee Springs fire station, explain­ ing that the township’s insur­ ance company wanted the information. He said they did •j not use keys but had gone to an electronic code system. INCOME TAX TIME IS HERE AGAIN! Time to visit, right here in Caledonia....... IGA.

Trustee Jack Finkbeiner asked if the codes were changed. “No,” responded Middleton. “we haven’t It is kind of nice for the police to get in. I can t supply a list of names.” The board unanimously approved the purchase of two sets of turnout gear at a cost of $2,760. Lippert said she wanted to pursue the purchase of an allterrain vehicle for the depart­ ment. She cited the use of one in the recent accident involving two Hope College students. Middleton men­ tioned a recent accident in the township where Finkbeiner had used his per­ sonal vehicle to take a cross­ country skier out of a field. He said it would be useful for horseback riding acci­ dents. Alice Jansma. deputy supervisor, informed the board. “ We have it in the budget at $27,000.” Finkbeiner questioned the need for a diesel-powered vehicle, pointing out that diesel fuel was not available at any nearby source. He expressed concern about ■M. ssible use of the vehicle in Township. Thomapple Middleton said 95 percent of the usage would be in Yankee Springs. He said an average of nine accidents occur each year in the stale wooded lands and on bike and horse trails. “They never fall off close to the road.” said Middleton. They are always one and a half miles or more in the woods.” No formal action was taken on the purchase of an ATV for the department. The board again took up the Chief Noonday Corridor District amendment to the master plan for land use; it had been tabled at the January board »!• meeting. The corridor stretches from Briggs Road to Patterson Road. The purpose of the district is to improve condi­ tions in the area and safety and accessibility. Discussion centered on a summary of zoning districts included in any master plan for land use. Treasurer John Jerkatis said he still had a problem with the different zoning districts. Frank Fiala. chair of the planning com­ 06707263 Pen nock-vvt Health your partner in personal, professional, progressive care mission, explained that the summary was included solely to satisfy the requirements of the Michigan Zoning Enabling Act. that the sum­ mary' did not add anything to zoning districts. The summa­ ry simply reflected what was already on the books in Yankee Springs tow nship, he said. Jerkatis continued, saying, “Farm animals in suburban residential district, on oneacre lots as a special land-use exception — there is no lim­ itation on the size or quantity of animals.” Administrator Zoning Robert Lippert, who acts as staff to the board, said he agreed with Jerkatis’ con­ cern. Lippert suggested it could be discussed at the joint meeting of the board, the commission, and the zon­ ing board of appeals sched­ uled for March 2. Trustee Mary Cook com­ mented. “We need to discuss the special-use exception cri­ teria. It might be more appropriate in large lots.” Robert Lippert said the chart simply reflected carry­ overs from existing ordi­ nances. “Suburban residential is 35,000 square feel — not even an acre.” said Jerkatis. “I don’t want any farm ani­ mals in suburban residen­ tial.” The objectionable pro­ vision is designed to accom­ modate families that might be participating in a [FFA] project through their school or for the county fair. Fiala suggested that the change would not be sub­ stantial and could be made and adopted at the next board meeting. The board unani­ mously agreed table the amendment until the March board meeting. Sandy Marcukailis pre­ sented a proposal for a Web site from Ocean, Inc., Grand Rapids. Option I is a custom Web site at a cost of $1,600 and is a one-time purchase. Yankee Springs would own the site and the source code. Updating would be the responsibility of the town­ ship. Option 2 was a hosted site with a one-time $250 setup and data-transfer fee, plus a $70 monthly charge in three-year a contract. Updating would be the responsibility of the town- ship. and Ocean would ow n the site. The board unanimously approved payment of $1,850 to Ocean Inc., for Web site setup and data transfer. Follow ing approval of the motion. Jerkatis asked to delay executing an agree­ ment for 30 days; he said he w anted to look at other Web sites and get other ideas. Marcukailis, who is chair of the park committee, said that although the board had approved $2,300 to lay an underground electrical wire, discussions those had occurred before lighting the park was raised. The electri­ cal firm recommended that the purpose of the lighting be considered since the park had been originally con­ ceived as a dawn-to-dusk facility. Cook said she favored security lighting because the park is a significant invest­ ment and thought motionactivated lights would be appropriate. Marcukailis said that if there were lights, the electricity could be turned off. She added that lighting changes the picture for future development in the park because building over an underground cable is not allowed. She noted the loca­ tion of the basketball court could be affected. Jerkatis said he felt the primary issues were safety and security. Timers could be put on electrical outlets; lights could be motion-acti­ vated. A member of the audi­ ence said that by not provid­ ing lighting, a liability issue could be created. The possi­ bility of light spillage issues for residences near the park also was mentioned. Marcukailis urged the board to visit the park, say­ ing, “Five of you have to go out and see what it is like with available light.” The discussion continued with some voicing opposi­ tion to lit fields; Janice Lippert pointed out there had been vandalism problems with the water al the park. The board took no action. In other business related to the park, Janice Lippert reported that nine responses to the request for quotes for mowing the park in the com- -A $ :, k JI r..t ■ (<_• * tr * "..r* & f" [J 5* ft i. fl >1# Ulf iM'W jcnS11 ^aill rfkiui .1' srirhpi ittaii Twarn iWsii WtalI Mailt 4H • •r IK' *<k.

World art comes to Caledonia library by Patricia Johns V'i Staff Writer On Saturday, Feb. 13, the Caledonia Public Library was host to a Chinese paper lantern art exploration in honor of the Lunar New Year. This is one of the Art Around the World work­ shops sponsored by the Caledonia Kiwanis Club and held by art teachers from the Community Caledonia Schools. Emmons Lake art teacher Candi Price, assisted by vol­ unteers Ryan and Ariana Austin, helped students cre­ ate their long and skinny or short and wide, two-color lanterns. For Ryan Austin, who is an elementary education stu­ dent at Grand Rapids Community College, this was a way to get hands-on experience. Ariana is a 10th grader who enjoys sharing her love of art. “This is a great program,” said library director Jane Heiss. “We really appreciate <S ‘ Sb is i s S’ ChhJ r.

To register call 616-784-2007. More fun is planned at the library during February. Wednesday, Feb. 24, all “wimpy” kids are invited for a program of “wimpy fun” based on the Wimpy Kid series of books by Jeff Kinney at 6:30 p.m. To reg­ ister, call 616-784-2007.

The bids ranged from a low of $85 per cut to a high of $300 per cut. The board voted to award the contract to the present hold­ er, Landscaping DK Management, LLC, at a cost of $90 per cut. Recycling was discussed briefly; Jerkatis said he sup­ ports a $25 fee for curbside recycling. It is proving diffi­ cult to find companies that will do the curbside recy­ cling without an exclusive agreement on hauling trash and yard waste. He said he is opposed to limiting the abili­ ty of residents to choose trash haulers. A contract with Republic Services to continue the existing roll-off container at the township hall and for trash services for the township offices was tabled. Supervisor Al McCrumb reappointed the current members of the planning commission to new terms and reappointed Finkbeiner as the board liaison to the McCrumb commission. reported that the contract with the Gun Lake Area Sewer and Water Authority was a standard contract. The contract was unanimously approved by the board. Jansma reported that the capital improvement plan subcommittee of the plan­ ning commission had met Feb. 3, and the text of the plan was being drafted by Cathy Strickland. She noted the plan is a formality. Robert Lippert provided an update on Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), saying 206 letters of map adjustment had been received for almost halt of the 472 parcels affected. He also noted there some letters the township had received were not posted on the FEMA Web site. Township attorney John Lohrsjorfer recom­ mended the township write a letter to FEMA asking what remedies were available to Yankee Springs residents. Copies of the letter will be sent to the offices of senators Carl Levin and Debbie Stabenow and Congressman Vernon Ehlers. The source of the problem on Gun Lake is the maps used by FEMA to establish the flood plain. Lippert said the Barry County maps are in 10-foot increments while those of other counties around Barry County are in two-foot increments. The agency cited lack of funding for new maps as its reason for using the old maps. Lippert concluded his report saying that there were no site plan reviews for January, noting that the stim­ ulus plan has not yet trickled down. He said the planning commission had completed its annual report and sent it to the board. He reminded the audience of two meetings: the commu­ nity informational meeting on the open-fire ordinance Thursday, Feb. 25, at 7 p.m., and the joint meeting of the township board, the planning commission, and the zoning board of appeals March 2 at 7 p.m. Both meetings will be at the township hall, 284 N. Briggs Road. The next regular meeting of the township board will take place Thursday, March 8, at 7 p.m. at the Yankee Springs Township Hall, 284 N. Briggs Road. I I -A.

It is an educational program sponsored by fishing conser­ vation organizations to intro­ duce students to the heritage of fishing. Beyond teaching fishing conversation, other benefits of the program include environmental and natural resource awareness and positive activities for children and the community. Todd Holstege. who rep­ resents a collaborative effort of all the physical education teachers at the high school, Kraft Meadow s Middle School, and Emmons Lake Elementary School, received a matching grant of $2,205 for a Frisbee golf course; the remaining amount of $2,205 needs to be raised by June 30. The course will be used as part of the physical educa­ tion program and support the Get Michigan Moving initia­ tive of the governor. As the third such course in West Michigan, it would be a community resource, he said. The fall 2008 and spring 2009 grant recipients and their projects were intro­ duced by foundation vice president, Mike Williams. A grant providing technol­ ogy to motivate high school writers was given to Ruth Grinstead, who teaches lan­ guage arts at the high school. The grant ($2,000 from the foundation and $1,900 from other sources) enabled lan­ guage arts teachers to pur­ chase the Criterion program to motivate 10th and 11 th graders to improve their writing skills. Students receive immediate feedback and advice on improvement, Teachers also work with the students to support the pro­ gram. Grinstead said the pro­ gram is aimed at solving a problem she often hears about: “Just send us someone who can write a memo." and “who can spell." She added. Clarity of expression in the real world is important." A second grant went to the high school's art department for development^of a photo studio.

(Photo by Patricia Johns) Local Foods Network seeking more listings for directory by Patricia Johns Staff Writer Barry County Michigan State University Extension Director Ginger Hentz ran the Feb. 17 meeting of the Local Foods Network. One of the issues she dis­ cussed was the need for more farmers, crafters and even restaurants using local foods to sign up to be listed in the free 2010 Local Foods Directory. The deadline to sign up for the directory is the end of March. Hentz said she hopes to have it available online and in a printed version by mid-April. “Local foods mean differ­ ent things to different peo­ ple,” she explained. “A work­ ing definition is fresh or min­ imally processed foods that are produced within 150 miles of where they are con­ sumed.” Many of those attending the Feb. 17 meeting stressed that local definitely means those grown near to where they are consumed. Members of the network also stressed that these are healthy, wholesome and fit very well into current dietary guide­ lines. While fresh fruits and veg­ etables were discussed as examples, Hentz also noted that more people are looking to purchase local grains, live­ stock and dairy products. In response to increased interest in the growing and purchasing of local food, the Barry Countv County MSU Extension office began development of the Local Foods Network which includes the directory of individuals, farms, business­ es, and other enterprises that grow and produce food in Barry County and the Southwest Michigan region. Hentz said she anticipates that the directory will become a handy reference to link producers and local food ventures to institutional, family and tourist markets. One goal of the directory Caledonia FFA members (from left) Ryan Skinner, Kelsey Steketee and Nicole VanderVennen will compete in the state demonstration contest at MSU in March.

The purpose of the con­ tests is to promote leadership and personal growth through a variety of career and leader­ ship development events. Teams are rated gold or silver. Two teams from each leadership contest are selected to compete at the state FFA convention at Michigan State University March 10 and 11. Caledonia FFA will have four contests at the state level. Advancing to the state contests was the greenhand and network is to boost awareness of “grow local, buy local” as a rural entrepreneurship and economic development strategy. She also discussed the opportunity for artists and crafts people using local fibers, for example, to be listed in the directory. Information about how to participate in the upcoming Local Foods Directory is available by contacting the Barry County MSU Extension office at 269-9451388 or on the Web site www.msue.msu.edu/barry.

Whether it called for some penetration and a dish or just a lob over the top. the Trojans got the ball inside to their jun­ ior center Jared Stolicker Friday. “He just went up and got a few of them," said TK head coach Lance Laker. “You could say we made this adjustment or that adjust­ ment, but sometimes it’s just kids going up and getting it.” Stolicker poured in 30 points, and pulled down 18 rebounds, in a 52-45 win at Hastings High School. “I thought we played a great basketball game in all honesty," said Hastings head coach Don Schils. “We had no answer for Stolicker. It’s not just his length. He's very athletic. We don’t have the bulk to bump him around with Dustin (Glaser) out.” A three-pointer by TK guard Kenny Price with 3:06 to play in the first half, which helped open up even a little more space inside for Stolicker, gave the Trojans a 16 13 lead and they led the rest of the night.

Asian carp, an invasive species that has made its far north way into rivers as as Illinois, eat up to 40 per­ cent of their body weight in plankton each day.

They would create a separate hazard: Asian carp, which can grow up to six feet in length and weigh up to 100 1UU pounds, pounds are known for striking boaters when they leap into the air when disturbed by vibrations from passing motors. Mary Denhoff? an information officer with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment said it is unclear whether Asian carp will be a threat threat to Michigan’s aquatic ecosysterns. They have found Asian carp DNA present in Lake Michigan waters, but even the researcher in charge of the study said that the DNA could have entered the lake through bilge water.

Earlier this month mem-------bers of the Michigan Senate announced they will hold legislative hearings to highlight the impact that Asian carp and other invasive species will continue to have on the Great Lakes it further action is not taken. Sen. Patty Birkholz, chair of the Senate Natural 44 99 and Resources Affairs Environmental Committee, and Sen.

Michigan’s first invasive species’ awareness laws and ballast-water-discharge regulations were crafted by members of the state senate. “It’s our responsibility as legislators to protect our natural resources,” said Barcia. “The Asian carp is just one of a number of threats to our waters. We will work with interested 44 organizations and constituents at the legislative hearings to develop a plan _____ ___ __ protects» Lour that further Great Lakes from invasive species.” Senator Jason Allen, a member of the Hunting, Outdoor and Fishing Recreation Committee, said the federal government has not acted quickly enough to protect the Great Lakes. “Unfortunately, sufficient action has not been taken at the federal level to prevent the spread of invasive species into our lakes,” said Allen. “The state Senate will continue its leadership role in protecting Michigan waters and the industries 44 and residents that depend on a healthy ecosystem.” Invasives organisms such as the Asian carp and the more than 200 species already in the Great Lakes, also threaten Michigan’s recreational boating industry which adds $9 billion to the sport fishing industry. ** 44 Can 945-9554 anytime for Sun & News classified ads B'tmfSKP / • • • • Complete Collision Service Dupont Refinish System State & I CAR Certified Techs Loaners Available * • 100% Guarantee On Repairs • Frame Repairs • Glass Repair • Spray On Bedliners • Complete Vehicle Detail — * 06707277 616-891-0150 Ed Pawloski Jr.Owner 110 Johnson St., Caledonia • www.edsbody.com OPEN 7:30 TO 5:00 MONDAY THRU FRIDAY_______________ �Page 22/The Sun and News, Saturday, February 20, 2010 —— ' Redwings reveal to Trojans why they’re ranked so highly I A A J ■ j O’1 ( fa. r Thornapple Kellogg’s Steven Cung Bik works on top of Hastings’ Collin Ferguson during their 145-pound consolation final Saturday at Charlotte High School.

The best finish of the day for the Scots came at 135 pounds, where senior Tanner Zych placed second. Caledonia also had Dillon Schmitt place fourth at 215 pounds. “I thought some of our younger kids were a little star struck,” said Caledonia head coach Shawn Veitch, It was a long season, and they didn’t wrestle their absolute best. With that said, I’d say half of our team wrestled well and rose to the occasion against a lot of good teams.” A lot of good teams, with a lot of good wrestlers. This was the first year in Division 1 for the Fighting *Scots: • “It just goes in cycles. Some years Division 2 is bet­ ter, some years Division 1 is better. In this instance, our Division I district was just loaded,” Veitch said. He added that the district had 43 wrestlers ranked in the top ten in their respective weight classes, and that the next highest total in a district was 13 ranked wrestlers. Tanner Zych scored wins over West Ottawa’s Jerry Sarli and Jenison's Doug Furness, before falling to Lowell's Gabe Morse 7-4 in the final at 135 pounds.

Brett will be a champion in life.

The new cardiovascular clinic will open inside Pennock's Specialty Services Clinic, which also houses the Wound Care Clinic. This decision was made due to the strong rela­ tionship and referral pattern between wound care patients and peripheral cardiovascu­ lar services, according to a press release. “Peripheral arterial dis­ ease, commonly referred to as PAD, is a disease of the blood vessels outside the heart and brain. In patients with PAD, the arteries that carry blood to the legs, arms, kidneys, and stomach become narrowed or clogged, interfering with normal blood flow. Pennock's new cardiology clinic will provide compre­ hensive treatment for patients with peripheral arte­ rial disease," the press release said. In partnership with West Michigan Heart, Dr. Dennis Dunning, a peripheral and coronary specialist, will begin seeing patients and providing supplemental clin­ ical services to both Pennock’s Wound and Peripheral Cardiovascular Clinic on Feb. 22. Dunning is an experienced cardiologist with an exten­ sive expertise in peripheral ? fl J X ____ Dr. Dennis Dunning vascular intervention and endovascular repair.

A consultant’s study, done in 2008 for Pennock's “You Speak We Listen" communi­ ty forum campaign, uncov­ ered a need for Pennock to have more comprehensive cardiology services. To vali­ date these responses, Pennock conducted an exten­ sive market share review and an independent community survey. As a direct result, Pennock created a Cardiology Task Force. In 2009, the task force‘identi­ fied recommendations based upon their gap analysis and implemented the need for Pennock to undergo phased implementation of enhanced cardiology care. The periph­ eral cardiovascular clinic was identified as the first key step. tions from the American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) and the National Board of Echo Cardiology. “Pennock* has received accreditation in adult echocardiography and stress echocardiography. Echocardiographic testing is useful in the detection and management of many types of heart disease. In addition, Pennock's laboratory is one of the first thousand echocar­ diography labs in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico to be recognized for its commitment to high quality patient care and its provision of quality diagnostic testing. Accreditation status signifies Pennock's facility has been reviewed by an independent agency which recognizes the laboratory's commitment to quality testing for the diag- In partnership with Dunning, “Pennock will also continue to work closely with other area endovascular and vascular surgeons to pro­ vide the best appropriate treatment for patients. With Pennock's unique team approach, appropriate med­ ical care, and management of risk factors, patients with can PAD significantly reduce their health risks," the press release said. Pennock’s new cardiovas­ cular clinic will round out Pennock's two decades of cardiovascular services to its surrounding communities.

In addition to Supervisor Al McCrumb, Treasurer John Jerkatis and trustees Mary Cook and Jack Finkbeiner were present. Janice Lippert, clerk, was absent due to illness. Billed as a community information meeting when notice of the meeting was published a month ago. the meeting commenced with McCrumb saying. “The board will handle this meet­ ing.” He went on to say that there was some confusion about what the proposed ordinance would do. “The idea is to give the township • t _ •__ tv some teeth into burning.” he commented. “Il is not a ban on campfires or hot dog roasts. Robert Reahm. a Gun Lake resident, asked what can be burned. He was advised by Finkbeiner to look at the definitions in the ordinance. Dave Middleton. fire chief and director of Thomapple Township Emergency Sen ices, the prime mover behind the proposed ordi­ nance. sought to clarify mat­ ters for Reahm. saying that a bum permit is required tor leaves. He added that special permits were available for burning large trees when clearing lots. “It protects residents from nuisances.” explained Middleton. “We have to have a local ordinance to enforce The more than 8 inches of snow which fell on Feb. 22 and closed Thomapple The more Kellogg schools that day is snow piled so high that school buses can barely be seen. state law.” McCrumb ventured, “A These piles will be removed to keep students from climbing up them.

The DNR can ban other burning.” He added. “Most of the lime, you will see us only if there is a complaint.” Bill Baughman, who lives on South Patterson Road. asked about leaf-burning in windrows and to right-ofway minimums. He queried the wisdom of leaf-burning in ditches, noting that many ditches extend about six feet from the roadway. A limit of six feel from the edge of the water on water­ front property — both lake­ front and channels — according to Middleton, was set by the DNR and was sim­ ply adopted in the proposed ordinance. Shane Vandenberg, .1 township resident, shifted the focus of the discussion, say­ ing. “You have a pretty good document. I can live with this. I’m probably the biggest burner in the township.” responded, Middleton thanking people for their help. “The process was painful in part, but helpful.” said Cook. “Ninety-nine percent of the people already do what it proposes; it will affect only those who cal­ lously disregard their neigh­ bors.” Now at issue is how to communicate the content of the proposed ordinance to residents.

There are two significant problems with this approach, he said: the size of lots on other lakes and non-waterfront property with deeded access to the water. The principal issue with Option 2 on Gun Lake, said Lippert, would be non-waterfront property with deeded access to the water. “Just deal with the water­ front lots now,” he suggest­ ed. Cathy Commissioner recommended Strickland adopting the approach that applied only to Gun Lake; she was supported by Jack Commissioners Marleon Finkbeiner, TenCate, and Al Schwenessen. Fiala called for a motion to approve the Strickland ' approach; Commissioner Bruce Cook supported the motion and it was adopted 6-1. The second item on the agenda was the draft of the capital improvement plan. The Michigan Planning Enabling Act, Public Act 33 of 2008, requires communi­ ties with public water and or sewer systems to prepare a capital improvement plan, Unless a township legislative ooara elects to assume board responsibility for developing a plan, the responsibility falls to the local planning com­ mission. The plan covers six areas: fire protection, public water and sewers, roads, a park, expansion of the town hall, and information technology. Capital improvements for fire protection are funded through a millage that is collected only for that purpose. Because it is a dedicated millage, it cannot be trans­ ferred to other projects or to the general fund. The public water system, which currently has 180 users and has a capacity of 250 users, is funded by the users of the system. Any new development added to the system is paid for by the developer at the time the development is created. While the system as it currently stands is self-funding, there is the potential for township liability as the sys­ tem ages and replacement is needed or if the township chooses to expand the sys- Free food distribution begins March 5 TRANS “The company by Fran Faverman Staff Writer The Yankee Springs Township Planning Commission spent most of its Feb. 18 meeting review­ ing two options for treating the proposed Gun Lake Overlay District. The options, presented in a memorandum from Township Planner Gregory Milliken were to amend the current township standards to match the proposed consensus stan­ dards, or to create an overlay district for parcels fronting on all of Gun Lake that would contain standards that are dif­ ferent from the rest of the resi­ dential lakefront district (RLF). The first option, according to Milliken, would involve amending ordinances in the seven or eight places where the current township stan­ dards differ from the consen­ sus standards arrived at by the Gun Lake Overlay District Committee. In his view, this would be a relatively simple process but it commits the township to adopting the consensus stan­ dards. The estimated cost would be $1,250 to $2,000, depending on the amount of time and the appearance of unanticipated events. Option 2, the creation of an overlay zoning district, would take more time and effort, both to create and to explain to the public, he said. This option would include only those changes that are unique to Gun Lake; they would not apply to waterfront property on other lakes in the township. Gun Lake is the only lake in the township that straddles both county (Allegan and Barry) and township (Yankee Springs, Orangeville, Martin and Wayland) boundaries. The estimated cost would be approximately $2,200 to $3,000, depending upon the amount of time and the inclusion of changes not anticipated. Frank Fiala, chair of the planning commission, began the discussion by noting that the differences between the options were straightforward and that the commission could live with the consensus standards. Robert Lippert, zoning administrator and staff to the commission, noted that Option 1I would make o (D •^1 O CD s ’To download and print the government’s summary of Energy Star products that are eligible for HVAC credits for homeowners, visit www.energystar.gov/taxcredit.

Registration begins at 2:30 p.m., with distribution start­ ing at 4 p.m. Participants should bring their own con­ tainers. Food is obtained through Hungry for Christ. Church members believe with Matthew 25:35 “For 1 was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink,* I was a stranger and you invited me in.” Donations of money or food are accepted for this program and should be made to Lakeside Community Church and marked ‘Hungry for Christ free food distribu­ tion program.’ For more information, call 616-868-6402. tem beyond its present capability. Another factor is change in government regulation. It is suggested that the town­ ship might wish to consider forming a water advisory panel to undertake future planning and expansion proj­ ects. The public sewer system, the Gun Lake Area Sewer and Water Authority, is gov­ erned by four townships and is supported by fees charged to users and to developers. Roads are funded by appropriations from the gen­ eral fund of the township and in some cases by special assessment districts. The for­ mula used to calculate the cost of road improvements borne by the township is complicated. Currently, there is no specific millage for roads. The Barry County Road Commission has pro­ jected the township will need to spend $260,000 a year for the next several years to put roads in optimum condition. The remaining three items — parks, township hall expansion and information technology are currently financed through the general fund and grants as well as some partnerships and dona­ tions. No estimates are avail­ able for the cost of expand­ ing the township hall. Information technology updating remains a major need. The-subcommittee devel­ oped a separate township park action plan to finish developing the park. Major improvements over the fiveyear period include provid­ ing electricity to the picnic shelter, completing a soccer field and a ball diamond, construction of restroom facilities, installation of char­ coal grills, and provision of handicap-accessible play equipment. The planning commission will be participating in a joint meeting with the board of trustees and the zoning board of appeals Tuesday, March 2, at 7 p.m. in the township hall, 284 N. Briggs Road. The next regular meeting of the planning commission will be Thursday, March 18, at 7 p.m. in the Yankee Springs Township Hall.

The club earns the money through advertising sales in each of these com­ munities and at the scholar­ ship dinner/auction that hon­ ors the winners. The Delton Kellogg Art Scholarship for 2010 has been awarded to Robby Brindley of Delton, son of Sheryl and Rob Brindley. As an eighth grader at Delton Kellogg Middle School, Brindley is the youngest recipient in the club's history of giving art scholarships, said Perino. Il is so important to expose young people as young as possible to their potential in the arts in order to create a viable arts program in the middle and high schools,” said Aaron Tabor, vocal music director for Delton Kellogg Schools. He added that vocal music now begins in the sev- Dominic Bierenga TK Art enth grade rather than the fifth in Delton schools and triple sessions make it more difficult for young people to prepare for local and state competitions without support beyond what is offered in the schools. “I am honored to select Robbie for the General Federation of Women's Club Art Scholarship." said Tabor. “He is exactly the type of student and person your scholarship is trying to impact. Robbie continually demonstrates a love for vocal music through his willing­ ness to try new things. He thrives on performing in front of other people in a way that leaves the rest of us in awe. He is talented, smart, kind and brave, all in one breath.” TK library to host tong Soon... 1 ‘Saturday stories’ moDiiviui .1 *J £ March 6 with a focus on Dr. Seuss.

Perino agreed with Tabor and said. “Robbie is unguarded in his responses and just delightful in his earnest honestly. Robbie said he went to choir because his. best friend joined." Brindley told Perino, “I didn’t do it for the music at first, but I stuck with it in sev­ enth and eighth grade; it's fun.” He added, “We sang ‘Hallelujah’ and classical stuff. We sang Johnny has Gone for a Soldier', ‘God Bless America.' We sang Christmas carols for Delton." Brindley praised his teacher as a very talented singer who toured Europe. “He’s a great teacher. He is able to just show us how to do it. and he explains it so well for each section," said Brindley. “He's teaching us to read music and to really listen." Brindley concluded his interview, saying, “My older brother is the athletic one. I like theater. My mom thinks I’d be really good at singing and acting." When Perino asked himwhy he thought he was selected, he said, “I think it’s because I like to help and work hard. I'm outgoing and I think I'm brave. I'm not afraid to try new things." Perino said she is sure Brindley will grow from his experiences at Blue Lake Camp this summer. He is also going to start with piano lessons. Thornapple Kellogg Art Scholarship 2010 winner is Dominic Bierenga. His par­ ents are Tim and Cathy Bicrenga, and he was recommended by TK band director Ray Rickert. Bicrenga will be using his S500 scholarship toward Central Michigan University's music camp this summer. Bierenga is a junior at TK High School. Since eighth grade, he’s played tenor sax­ ophone, after starting on the alto sax in sixth grade. “I’ve been composing since 1 was 8,” he said. “I once lived with my grandma, and she had a keyboard. There might be some family genet­ ics. My dad played an instru­ ment in middle school." Bierenga has entered com- petitions in Michigan and keeps music in his life. He’s in the TKHS jazz ensemble, plays events in the Holy Family Church,in Caledonia, sings in the honors choir, which made All-State, and garnered second place in the Festival at Central as an out­ standing soloist. He sings with the church band in masses and is a youth leader for the middle school pro­ gram. Bierenga is a member of the National Honor Society. He said he loves computers and has done well in comput­ er program competitions. He has two sisters, 2 and 5. Rickert said he sees Bierenga as exactly the type of student who benefits from these scholarships. “He’s ambitious, talented, and deserving," said Rickert, who went out of his way to laud the GFWC-Gun Lake for its scholarship offerings and made sure each of Bierenga’s fellow band members were aware of what is available and of their band mate's good fortune. Bicrenga said of Rickert. “He really supports me. He looks for opportunities in the school for me and then throws them at me." Bierenga said he is aware that through the assistance of Rickert, the school will also pay for a portion of this camp experience. At the conclusion of an interview, Bierenga told Perino of performing at Central Jazz Festival Feb. 12, “I've met professors at Central who have given me a real perspective about col­ lege there " He plans to go to Central and pursue a music career, and he wants to play jazz. Perino said, “We congrat­ ulate this genuine, personable young man. The GFWC presented the Art Union Wayland Scholarship 2010 to Jazz Arnold, a freshman at Wayland Union. His parents are Brian and Annette Arnold, and the recommend­ ing teacher was choir director Jan Laman. He usually sings as a tenor but said he prefers to sing bass.

But chang­ ing schedules meant that some of the visitors to the event would not be able to come. The solution: 100 Day cel­ ebrating began on Feb. 23 and ended Feb. 24.

The following day, the Monday/Wednesday kinder­ garten students celebrated. They had a special visit from “Guitar Zero" with the “Happy 100 Day" song to make 100 Day really special.

Three Zeros were at the school this year — a really red “Zero the Hero,” “ Net Zero" who was Guitar Zero" on also Tuesday and “Super Mona” whose cape had 100 pictures of the Mona Lisa on it.

Briggs stresses, “good eating is a wonderful thing.” Cooking with KandA is part of the KandA Project. The KandA Project is pur­ chasing early chapter books for the Thomapple Kellog, School and Community Library.

In fact the county has lost over 3,500 jobs since 2005. Labor market information that can be found on the State’s website shows that in December of 2005 there were 29,795 Barry County residents employed. As of December of 2009 only 25,946 still had jobs. This helps explain the 1,347 home foreclo­ sures since 2005. While most of the USA is in a recession, Michigan’s experience seems more like a depression. Nationally it feels like our r _ liticians have sold us out with NAFTA and the global free market. Our workers, making a living wage, are being pitted against third world workers living in poverty. Do our workers have to become poor to compete in the global marketplace? Other countries do not have the labor, environmental and safety standards that are required in this country... it is not a level playing field. Also hundreds of thousands of our state’s jobs have been lost to other states that are out-competing Michigan. It’s time to show these other states that Michigan means business. We need to rethink the way we'tax and regulate businesses so that our jobs are not such easy pickin’s for others to take. www.mikecallton.com -X Li * Paid for Mike Callton for State Rep. P.O.

CHS students Ben McCombs and Jonathan Hoekstra designed a wind turbine system for catching wind from vehicles driving on roads and highways. The System is currently under construction and according to Glazier, results from the contest should be known in April. The board moved into its formal agenda. The first three items were resolutions that ultimately allow the dis­ trict to participate in the newly formed Kent Intermediate School District Collaborative Schools of Choice Program for the 2010-2011 school year. The remaining items on the agenda involved capital expenditures; all were approved by the board. Glazier recommended the board authorize the purchase of a 3-D printer for $23,820.00; the printer is a machine that using comput­ er-assisted design (CAD) allows the actual construc­ tion of three-dimensional figures. The machine uses a composite material and can make mechanically-func­ tioning . prototypes, The machine will be used in the engineering technology pro­ gram.

Consequently, if you want to avoid taking more than mini­ mum distributions, you will need to look at your invest­ ments held outside your RMD-triggeringL accounts. First, consider your Roth IRA, if you have one. Unlike a traditional IRA, a Roth IRA is not subject to RMD rules, so your money can potentially 'keep growing. But if you want to minimize your taxable distributions, you may want to tap into your Roth account. Next, review your other investments. Specifically, consider your mix of invest­ ments. Can you adjust this mix to possibly provide you with enough income to help you avoid exceeding your RMDs? For example, can you add income-producing investments, such as bonds. without depleting your portfolio's growth potential? Even in retirement, you'll likely need growth opportu­ nities to help you stay ahead of inflation. You may also want to consider dividendproducing stocks. While you don’t want to take on too much risk in your retirement years, you can find many quality stocks that produce, and even increase, their divi­ dends year after year. (Keep in mind, though, that compa­ nies can reduce or eliminate dividends at any time.) The RMD vacation was nice while it lasted. But now that it's over, consider taking the steps necessary to pro­ vide you with sufficient income today without drain­ ing your resources for tomor­ row.

Sites also should have trees that vary in age. We like a mixture of age classes to facilitate stand recovery, as many larger ash trees may already be heavily infested,” she added. Interested landowners must be willing to provide researchers access to the ash » stands to monitor EAB> and parasitoid levels. The research team also may need to remove approximately four trees per stand each year as a part of the study.

Alternative com­ mon names, such as swamp ash and basket ash, are descriptive of the preferred habitat and the primary use of the species. Black ash is a small to medium-sized tree with opposite branching and com­ pound leaves. Leaflets num­ ber from seven to 11 (typi­ cally more than green ash) and are green and smooth on both sides. The terminal leaflet has a short stalk, but the other leaflets are attached directly to the leaf stalk, or petiole. The fruit is a samara with a broader wing than that of green ash. The bark is pale gray and flaky, and the crushed foliage smells like elderber­ ry. The first key to identify­ ing black ash is that it grows on sites and soils with gener­ ally poor drainage, including peat, fine sands, and loams in bogs, streambanks and other low spots. It can tolerate a wide range of soil pH. It is slower growing (1.5 to 2.5 feet per year) than associated trees such as red maple. Black ash runs from 30 to 60 at mature height. The species likes sun, so trees maturing in an open canopy may have a height advantage. Landowners with black ash stands of at least five acres who are interested in participating in the study should contact Joanne at Barnard the Barry Conservation District, 269948-8056 ext. 117, or e-mail joanne.barnard@mi.nacdnet.net. A preliminary stand assessment will be conduct­ ed on all potential sites before final study areas are selected.

No. 10/March 6, 2010 .oH 135th year #■ Yankee Springs boards discuss by Fran Faverman Staff Writer The two boards and one commission making up most of Yankee Springs official­ dom met Tuesday evening, March 2, at the township hall to review jointly the past year and discuss goals and objectives for the present year. The meeting also pro­ vided an opportunity to soothe some ruffled feelings and for Treasurer John Jerkatis to share his philoso­ phy of government (see sep­ arate story). Frayed feelings resulted when the township board at its February meeting declined to approve the I odT nnnoo sY lo i mob riaifiM /oi oi s ifioy loo(do bob iv sritooa 1 bnE to yrfq e slaw (mH I nsrtw aii miloob Chief Noonday Corridor amendment to the master plan for land use. What derailed the amendment was the planning commission’s attempt to comply with the Michigan zoning Enabling Act, which now requires the inclusion of a zoning plan by inserting a chart showing zoning districts and their requirements. Attempts by Frank Fiala, chair, planning commission, zoning Robert Lippert; administrator; and Gregory Milliken, township planner with McMillan Associates Inc., to explain that the chart did not represent changes to existing ordinances were sistencies [in the zoning reg­ ulations]. Questions were raised. Ordinances are fluid. I apologize for not voting for it.” “I apologize for the confu­ sion,” said Fiala. “The requirement is to put the zon­ ing classifications into the master plan. The chart was too specific; we did not have time to rewrite it.” “The enabling act requires a zoning plan in the master plan,” said Milliken. “It is a good description of each zoning district, the easiest way is to take it from the ordinances. There are no rules or regulations about how the zoning plan is put fruitless; it summarized zon­ ing ordinances already on the books in the township. The board tabled the amendment as members of the planning commission, who were pres­ ent, watched two years’ work appear to be headed down the drain. Janice Lippert, township clerk, began the soothing •It process, saying, “The master plan is the bible; zoning is law. We should have adopted the master plan amendment. I apologize for voting against it.” Trustee Mary Cook com­ mented, “I was confused by the zoning chart. We proba­ bly need to clean up incon- together. The descriptions aren't binding." Jerkatis pointed out, “I was the singular voice opposed to the master plan change. Not until this evening was it made clear to me. ... I was not clear about what we were being asked to approve.” Janice Lippert asked Milliken which would be stronger in court. Milliken responded that the ordinance has to be based on the master plan. He added that farm ani­ mals in a residential zone is a use question, and bringing the master plan into compli­ ance with state law has noth­ ing to do with the ordinance. Robert Lippert explained that the purpose of the joint meeting was to make sure boards are in concert as far as goals and objectives are concerned. “It is your opportunity as a board to express what you want addressed, an opportu­ nity to agree or disagree on objectives," he said. Fiala said that the plan­ ning commission tries to get a balance between total prop­ erty rights and limited exer­ cise of them. He cited Heritage Hills in Grand Rapids as what he did not want: “They tell you what See BOARDS, page 11 CHS bands receive high scores at festival □rIT oorio2 [qmv2 iy isooi /I 3(11 I bnfifl )21O ni airiT nu ifidl sviteaH irfT* ft iz£3l omodq nsonoo 3V13331 I lisrii •• .lonori The Caledonia High School Wind Ensemble and each Symphonic Band received division I ratings at the MSBOA District 10 Band Festival held last week in Otsego.

Immediately, stu­ dents and staff holding after­ school activities, emptied the building. Township Thornapple Services Emergency received a call from the building at the same time and responded with a firetruck and an ambulance. Waiting outside, fortu­ nately in the sun, were young athletes, members of after­ school clubs and Odyssey of the Mind teams preparing for competition. Most of the people waiting outside did not have their coats, and the young athletes were in shorts. Many ran about keep­ ing warm while waiting for the all-clear signal which allowed them to return into the building. It took about 35 minutes before the all-clear was issued. Middle School Principal Mike Birely and Superintendent Gary Rider met with TTES personnel after TTES had used infrared devices fire-detecting * throughout the entire build­ ing. It was announced that the false alarm had been caused by a faulty sensor, not by someone pulling an alarm. Shawn Hayward, supervi­ sor of operations for the dis­ trict, said he will be meeting with the sensor company to correct problems with sen­ sors. The school was emptied to ensure that everyone remained safe,” said Rider. “We are going to see what can be done to prevent dust in sensors — if that is deter­ mined to be the cause — from causing future false alarms." 44 I < tf ■ I» & J. 5 x ?■ 'a: M f, ‘♦1 *s’ 'll I I •V £ -- ■ ----- * A I • • w- 1 u f <1 1 ISI' r ’ ft «I ’ > In This Issue i r n — .______ •• -—■ 1 ■■ Thornapple Kellogg School Superintendent Gary Rider (on left) arrives to meet with Thornapple Township Emergency Services personnel on what turned out to be a false alarm caused by a faulty fire sensor at the middle school Tuesday.

He began his remarks by indicating he has heard many hours of presentations by township officials and others on actions and proposals before the township govern­ ment. Township govern­ ment, he said, has a great deal of authority over its cit­ izens. He went on to say that the current board of trustees has “always endeavored to administrate this authority fairly, equally and consis­ tently in all transactions.” He identified four basic rights as the most valuable: freedom of speech, the right of choice, freedom to be selfreliant and the right to be responsible. Failure to pro­ tect rights by exercising them will lead to their disap­ pearance, he said. Why should citizens be concerned at the level of township government with the exercise of rights? Because, he pointed out, it all starts with local govern­ ment. In his view, local govern­ ment officials need to ask themselves several questions before acting: • Does any higher govern­ £ mental or regulatory agency already address the issue? • What is the justification for township action on the issue? • How many citizens are affected? • How many citizens would experience restric­ tions on their rights? • Does the township pos­ sess, have or can it acquire the resources to enforce and monitor appropriately a pro­ posed ordinance after enact­ ment? • Are there alternatives to the proposed action that would be less restrictive in solving the problem? Failure to ask and answer these questions, he said, rep­ resents a betrayal of the trust people have placed in local officials by electing them. “When you move in next to a chicken ranch, you better be fond of, or at least able to tolerate, the aroma of chicken. w - Yankee Springs Township Treasurer John Jerkatis He then addressed the issue of his dissents on pro­ posed actions. He said he supports government that is necessary and recognizes its positive role when govern­ ment protects rights, pro­ vides public safety and secu­ rity, supports judicial sys­ tems, provides equal treat­ ment and rights to all citi­ zens, constructs and main­ tains public roads and infra­ structure, provides basic public education, facilitates limited basic zoning and acts to provide for the majority. He asked if government control of noise, loud music, lawn mowers, smoke, clutter, animals, parking, trespass­ ing, paint colors, view obstruction, access restric­ tions, traffic and other vari­ ous activities are really nec­ essary or justifiable. “When you move in next to a chicken ranch, you better be fond of, or at least able to tolerate, the aroma of chick­ en,” he commented. Land-use ordinances are particularly destructive of property rights he said. They diminish the use of property by its owners and thereby transfer control, which he said he regards as synony­ mous with ownership, to government. In closing, Jerkatis said, “with regard to the requests/demands made of gov­ ernment, we need to reflect [on what] Thomas Jefferson or Gerald R. Ford, said, ‘A gov­ ernment big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take away everything you have.’” He added a flourish from Ben Franklin.

You or you and I or anyone in government service, or all of us together collectively cannot nor should we attempt to be all things to all people.” He went on to make some observations that fundamen­ tally mutual respect, cooper­ ation, and consideration are needed in densely populated areas and are paramount to peace of mind. yourself.” Planning Commission Chairman Frank Fiala accepted Jerkatis’ invitation to react to his remarks, and said, “I appreciate diversity and your opinions.” Rich Beukema, vice-chair of the ZBA, said, Government can be good.” He cited the recent exam­ ple of government reactions to disasters, saying, “Chile had a government that imposed standards for build­ ings.

Treasurer Richard Robertson shepherded both through the meeting. The review committee narrowed the seventeen submissions to four firms and after inter­ viewing them, selected First Companies Inc., which will create the design and return to the board for approval. Robertson said one signif­ icant item is the roof; it has a major problem on the east side and needs to be replaced. He said he was asking for guidance because the space under that portion of the roof was earmarked for construction of a commu­ nity room at a later date. However, if the roof is replaced now, construction of the room later will require by Patricia Johns Staff Writer Thornapple Kellogg High School Principal Tony Koski has sent a letter to parents of juniors at the high school with details of this year's Michigan Merit Exam process. This year the sched­ ule means that juniors are not being required to take the final exams for the second trimester at the high school. Students cannot bring food, beverages or cell phones into the testing rooms. The MME consists of three testing days for juniors at TKHS. Students should be a calculator or see a math teacher to borrow a calcula­ tor before testing days. On March 9, the day starts with a kick off breakfast at 7:35 a.m. This breakfast is free to juniors to make sure they have enough energy for the tests to follow.

The first option is a standard, tax-exempt, 20year municipal bond at an estimated rate of 4.5 percent. The second option is a “Build America” bond at 6.35 per­ cent; it is not a tax-exempt bond. While the federal government would w o u I cl refund $147,687 to the township, the higher rate would result in an additional cost to Caledonia taxpayers of $837,000 over the life of the bond. The pur­ pose of the bond, according to Robertson, is to create jobs. “I have a problem with it," he said. “We created the jobs when we approved the library. When we voted on it, we said, it is our library, it is our responsibility.” Trustee Rick Snoeyink added he was opposed to the Build America bond. Harrison said it was not a true savings, that it was more of a “bilk America” bond and a shell game. Their colleagues agreed, voting unanimously to pursue the standard tax- Michigan Merit Exams impact trimester final exams for TK juniors HASTINGS 4 I removal of the roof. “I am asking for guidance on options for enlarging the space. The cost of the roof, heating and cooling will go a long way towards meeting the . cost of the meeting room." he commented. Zoller Trustee Greg added, “We can do it within the budget.” While the amount allocat­ ed in the budget is $600,000, there is no cost in the pro­ posal because First Companies’ fee will be a percentage of the project, and the total cost of the proj­ ect will not be known until contracts are let. Robertson has consistently maintained that budgeting $600,000 for the project does not mean the project will cost that much. In discussion prior to the vote, Robertson said he wanted First Companies to include the cost of the roof in the proposal; Township Supervisor Bryan Harrison said he wanted the roof improvement included as an alternate. Robertson said the roof has to be part of the remodeling.

The Reading for Information, Applied Mathematics, and Locating Information portions of ACT WorkKeys testing will be given Wednesday, March 10. The WorkKeys tests are work readiness exams that gauge students' preparation for work in the 21st Century. The third and last day of M1C1E testing will be Thursday, March 11. This Michigan devel­ includes oped assessments in mathe­ matics, science, and social studies. The school days for jun­ iors on March 9 to 11 will have to be adjusted in order to administer the MME. Juniors will be able to leave school early if they have transportation. They will be able to work in the library if they need to ride the bus at the regular time. • Freshmen, sophomores, and seniors will have a regu­ lar day of classes on March 9 and will be taking the final exams for the second trimester on March 10 and 11. Juniors will not be required to take the second trimester final exams. Koski said there may be individual cases in which a junior stu­ dent may want to take an exam. He used the example of taking an exam to improve a grade or pass a class. Juniors may schedule to take final exams with their teachers after MME testing Wednesday or Thursday. For juniors who choose not to take final exams, the trimester grade on their report card will not include an exam grade. Student who do not meet attendance requirements in second trimester courses will be required to take the final trimester exam for the course (in attempt to earn credit.) Students should dress comfortably in layers, to be comfortable with the room conditions. Koski suggests bringing a sweatshirt. He stressed, “Do not bring your cell phones [or any other electronic devices] into testing areas. Even if it acci­ dentally goes off, you will be asked to leave and your MME (including your ACT test) will be void (this is a state and national testing Leave your cell rule). phones in you locker or at home."

Packets on MME testing are available in the counseling office, Test preparation materials are also on the TKHS Web site and in the library.

A third money issue was the roof on the existing township/village hall. Significant repairs are need­ ed. Fifteen bids were received from roofing com­ panies. The township and the village have agreed to accept a bid from Rasmusssen Construction in Walker of SI5,807 for a roof with shin­ gles guaranteed for 30 years. An unknown factor until the old roof is removed, is the extent of any possible dam­ age to the underneath por­ tion, which would increase the cost. Harrison announced that the Kent County Road Commission (KCRC) had approved a transportation economic development fund (TEFD) grant of $728,000 (80 percent of the cost) toward repairs of four intersections involved in the Foremost expansion project. Foremost is responsible for $182,000 (the 20 percent required local match). The grant requires endorsement by the fecal governing body. The board approved the grant unani­ mously. In other business, the board approved a request by Robertson to strike from the tax rolls the delinquent 2004 personal property taxes owed primarily by defunct busi­ nesses. The meeting's attendance was augmented by five stu­ dents from South Christian - High School who were attending the board meeting as part of the requirements of a government class. During the final board comment period, Harrison said the township had received apprpval of its grant application for two sirens. He also noted that Community Clean-Up Day was scheduled for May 1; the cost this year would be $10 a load, and he anticipated a cost to the township of $500. The library committee is working on the final costs and the alternative projects. He said there were 17 pro­ posals, and a full presenta­ tion would be made at the next board meeting March 17. Snoeyink said discussions for a farmers market on M37 were in progress. Trustee Dale Hermenet announced there would be a meeting of the trail commit­ tee Wednesday, March 10, at 6:30 p.m. in the township hall for the purpose of pre­ senting information to the public. A tentative map of the proposed trail will be available. The next regular meeting of the township board will be on March 17 in the township hall at 250 Maple St. The 7 p.m. board meeting will be preceded by a joint planning commission/board meeting beginning at 6:30 p.m. in the same facility.

But to create and maintain an effective invest­ ment strategy, you also need to look at the “big picture" — specifically, the economic and market forces that can affect your investments' per­ formance. And one of those factors is inflation. Of course, inflation has been fairly tame lately. In fact, some consumer prices fell through much of 2009, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Will the mild inflation environment continue? It’s risky to try to predict the course of any economic development. Yet some key signs point to continued low inflation. For one thing, unemployment remains stub­ bornly high. Fewer people working means fewer people spending, which lowers the demand for goods and serv­ ices. Also, we are currently not producing anywhere near as much as we could, given our productive capacity, according to the Federal Reserve (Fed). When this gap exists, the economy can typically expand without triggering higher inflation. If inflation does remain low for the near term, the Fed is unlikely to raise short­ term interest rates signifi­ cantly; it typically raises rates in an effort to “cool Everyone deserves to look like a movie star, said Linda Foster of Shear Attitudes in and Tanning Hair Middleville.

And if rates fall, you'll still collect larger interest payments from your which longer-term bonds would also typically fetch a premium price if you needed to sell them before they matured. Keep in mind, though, that while a bond ladder may help protect you somewhat against interest rate risk, you need to consider other fac­ tors, such as credit risk — the risk that the bond issuer will default or be unable to make principal or interest payments — and market risk — the risk that you could lose some or all of your prin­ cipal as the value of your bonds fluctuates. You can help combat these risks by considering quality, invest­ ment-grade bonds. If it’s suitable for your investment objectives, risk tolerance and financial cir­ cumstances, a bond ladder may help you prepare for changes- in inflation and interest rates. And by being prepared, you can avoid neg­ ative behaviors, such as hasty decisions and exces­ sive trading, while you posi­ tion your portfolio to help achieve your long-term goals.

This would affect all types of investments, but it's especially relevant to fixedincome vehicles, such as bonds. Assuming short-term rates stay low for a while, what opportunities should you consider for your bonds? For one thing, you may want to expand your holdings beyond short-term bonds; longer-term bonds usually offer higher interest rates as compensation for inflation risk, which increases over time. If interest rates do rise, however, the value of exist­ ing bonds tends to fall; no one will pay you the face value of your bond when newer ones are issued at higher rates. But because they have a long future stream of interest payments that wouldn't keep up with current rates, long-term bonds typically adjust more than short-term ones. To protect yourself against the risk interest rate risk that your bonds will lose you may value if rates, rise want to consider building a “ladder" containing bonds of varying maturities.

They didn't know that they'd be without the junior who started at point guard much of the season though. Holland Christian harassed the Thornapple Kellogg varsity girls' basketball team all night long in a 43-35 win in Friday’s Class B District Championship game at Allegan High School. The Maroons length and aggressiveness made getting the ball inbounds tough much of the night. Early on the only points of the opening quarter, as the Maroons opened up a 9-3 lead through the first eight minutes. Holland Christian extended that lead to 24-16 at the half. TK junior guard Hana Hunt missed the contest, but even with her in the line-up things would have been tough. The Maroons forced TK into 28 turnovers on the night. The Trojan defense was solid though too. They turned the Maroons over 19 times, Holland Christian pushed its lead to 15 points late in the third quarter, before a small Trojan run but it back down to nine points. That was as close as TK would get until Trojans didn t have too many troubles with the press, but struggled to get good shots on the offensive end of the floor, As the night wore on, the press became more of a factor. We knew the most difficult challenge was going to be getting the ball past halfcourt, and that was the chailenge,” Kopf said, I think they were a little nervous to begin with. The girls without the ball, there wasn’t enough ball move­ ment. Then we had to play catch up.” A triple by sophomore point guard Anisa Shaw accounted for the Trojans’ €4 46 1 I ’I 2J The Trojans’ Cassie Holwerda (20) runs into Hopkins’ Jenna Brower (left) and Cassondra Church as she tries to get a shot off Wednesday during the Class B District Semifinal at Allegan High School.

Kristina Bosch chipped in nine points, including a big three-pointer with just under three minutes to play. It was the last of many learning experiences for the young Trojan team this season. Andrea Pennfield was the only senior to see time on the floor for TK in the district final. The good thing is, they're almost all coming back next year,” Kopf said. Sophomore center Cassie Holwerda led TK with 13 points, six rebounds, and four blocks. Junior forward Alyssa Weesie chipped in eight points and four steals, while fellow junior forward Kiley Buursma had seven points, four rebounds, and a pair of blocks. “They realized they can play with anybody,” Kopf said. "They see the Holland Christians and the South Christians of the world and get a little intimidated, but now they realize they can play with them.” The Trojan team ends the year with a 7-16 record. After a slow start in the district semifinals against Hopkins Wednesday, the Trojans rallied in the second half for a 43-40 win. Hopkins jumped out to an 11-4 lead in the opening quarter, but TK pulled to within a point at the half. The two teams went into the fourth quarter tied at 29-29.

Thornapple Kellogg’s var­ sity boys’ basketball team had 11 of its 12 players score in an 81-62 non-conference vic- tory to close out the regular season in Middleville. The Trojans end the year with a 10-10 mark, and will see Hopkins again in the Class B District semifinals at Zeeland West Wednesday if they’re able to knock off the host Dux in the opening round game Monday night. The four Trojan seniors, Kenny Price, Matt Williamson, Jordan Ruger, and Samuel Thaler, with the help of junior center Jared Stolicker got their team off to an 18-6 start against the visiting Vikings Thursday, “It’s always the hardest night for me as a coach,” said TK head coach Lance Laker, We kind of keep the seniors in a little longer at the start.” Hopkins rallied back to pull within six at 22-16 by the end of the quarter, and closed to 35-30 at the half. The Trojans then outscored the Vikings 28-17 in the third quarter to take control of the ball game. Laker said Thaler had an MVP type night”, for the Trojans. He finished with 12 points, five rebounds, and four assists. His fellow senior, Price, continued his solid play contributing seven points, eight rebounds, three assists, and a pair of steals. Sophomore guard Greg Hamilton led the Trojan attack with 17 points and five assists, while Stolicker finished with 15 points and 12 rebounds. Williamson had six points, and Ruger three.

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources and announced Environment Friday that the Yankee Springs Recreation Area in Barry County has temporari­ ly closed the Gun Lake Day Use Area and campground roads until further notice.

Staff will monitor the condi­ tion of the roads daily. The day-use area and camp­ ground roads will reopen when it is determined they are once again stable and safe for vehicular travel. Walk-in visitors are still wel­ come. Yankee Springs Recreation Area is located at 2104 South Briggs Road, Middleville.

M-43 Highway, Hastings, Ml 49058 Thornapple Kellogg makes principal changes Parent meeting, set for Aug. 30 by Patricia Johns Staff Writer At the end of the 2009-10 school year, the Thornapple District Kellogg School thought it had a good solution to having administrative over­ sight of Lee Elementary, the second and third grade school, and Page, the fourth and fifth grade school. Lee Principal Tim Shaw would be head of both schools with the assistance of Eric Proseus, formerly the assistant princi­ pal at the high school. However, this summer Shaw accepted a principal­ ship in the Forest Hills school district. Superintendent Gary Rider and Assistant Superintendent Tom Enslen, who had previ­ ously served as principal at Lee, then began looking at alternative arrangements. The solution, which was announced at the Thornapple Kellogg Board of Education meeting Aug. 16, is to hire retired Forest Hills Principal Judi Scholten to be at Lee two days a week. Enslen will serve as principal at Page, in addition to his duties as assistant superintendent. Proseus will be assistant principal at Members of the Thornapple Kellogg Board of Education are from left in the front row treasurer Scott Kiel, president Don Haney, vice president David Smith and sec­ retary Tammy Berdecia.

Sherry Kopf at Lee and Jane Cordts at Page will answer questions and then direct caliers to the appropriate person, as needed. Rider praised Scholten for her tremendous energy and told the board that this experiment was a win/win situation for the schools and the students. The opportunity and train- ing to be the leader teacher will be offered to staff by. Aug. 23. The Thornapple Education Kellogg Association is working with Rider to set guidelines and compensation. IRider also stressed that while there are times when the leader teacher may be called on. this will not keep teachers away from students. A meeting is planned Monday, Aug. 30, for parents from both Lee and Page, in beginning at 6:30 p.m..in Room 1616 of Thornapple Kellogg Middle School. The focus of the meeting will be 1talking about the plan for leadership _ at the two lower elementary schools. Scholten, Enslen, Proseus and Rider will be on hand to explain the plan and take questions. Boating issues dominate Gun Lake Yankee Springs agrees to pay Protective Association meeting for drain: park grant received by Fran Faverman by Fran Faverman Staff Writer Approximately 75 people turned out for the annual meeting of the Gun Lake Association Protective (GLPA) Saturday, Aug. 14, Gun at the Lake Community Chapel. President Doyle Smith wel­ comed the group with a brief history of the associa­ tion, which was founded in the 1920s to preserve the area’s natural beauty and its value as a resource. The most interesting item on the agenda for most attendees was the report from the Barry County Marine Patrol headed by Sgt. Julie Jones and former­ ly headed by Capt. Bill Johnson. Smith introduced Johnson and Jones and the marine patrol unit, which has the primary responsibil­ ity for police and emer­ gency services on the lake. Johnson said Jones has the “nuts and bolts patrol responsibility.” He noted that a call had come in at 7 a.m. that morning. Marine boater, call 911.

The board concurred in the appointment; Heystek was sworn in by Lippert, Barry Yarger, Russ Drain County 1Commissioner, appeared to explain that the Cuddy Drain, which is an inter­ county drain running under South Patterson Road and draining into a channel on Gun Lake, will be dredged and a sandbar removed. He estimated the township’s share of the cost at $15,0(X).

This includes the comple­ tion of the auditorium which had been predicted not to be finished until November. Voters approved a $27.9 mil­ lion bond in 2007 for the con­ struction. Renovations at the high school include addition- al classrooms, the new audi­ torium, a new .main entrance, reconstructed main offices, improved art and technology facilities and other upgrades. The high school renovations cost about $20 million. Superintendent Gary Rider announced that the dedica­ tion of the new addition will be on Sunday, Oct. 10, as part of homecoming week­ end. “We are looking forward to celebrating the new addi­ tion on that day,” he said. In addition, the auditorium will be used for the start-ofschool teacher meeting Tuesday, Aug. 31. TK High School Principal Tony Koski announced at the board meeting that the build­ ing did receive its occupancy permits and he was able to work in his new office “not the cube" for the first time in three years. The fire inspection went well, he said, and a few other inspections are still sched­ uled before the start of school. Students will park in the newly striped west parking lot, where the main entrance is now located. There will be some spaces for visitors as well. The bus drop-off and staff parking areas will now be in the south parking lot. The library has a separate parking area next to its entrance on Bender Road. Renovations at Lee and McFall elementary' schools were completed in the first year of construction. The board accepted Tim Shaw's formal letter of resig- &8&9 whitneLjville Rd. • Alto, Ml T^^O2 Wildwoo (616) 8&8-8+OO Landscape Design • Installation nation. In it, he wrote that he had a “conflicted heart” after his 13 years w ith TK, includ­ ing three as principal at Lee. He also wrote that while he was excited about his new opportunities, “it is hard to say good-bye to the only place 1 have known as an educator.” Shaw is now a principal in the Forest Hills school dis­ trict. In other business, the board approved hiring Pamela Hamp as the new speech and language patholo­ gist for the district. “We were very fortunate to be able to interview' four applicants,” said said Rider, adding that this is the only new hire for the district except for Judi Scholten who will be the part-time Lee principal. Rider announced that President Barack Obama is planning to address students across the United States Wednesday, Sept. 8. “We have a little more time to prepare for his speech this year, and we hope to make it possible for students to hear him. We will also tape it and have it available on line for classrooms,” Rider said. He stressed that last year's speech was a very positive reminder for students to do their best in learning. Rider gave a copy of last year's speech to board members. Thomapple Kellogg is not sure how it will be impacted by the $318 million in feder­ al funding coming to Michigan. States have until September 2012 to use the funds. The next Thomapple Kellogg Board of Education meeting will be Monday, Sept. 13, at 7 p.m. in Room 1616 of Thomapple Kellogg Middle School. >'it5 Al I 1 trip ' i* ■'Ai^ 1 iil ’I »• 0 HASTINGS 4 Goodrich UALITY IEATERS 269-205-4900 Downtown Hastings on State St. www.GQTI.com 4.50 to$s5.0(T ALL SEATS > itfti r £ i -wd F Ji sstiiW exoopt adtjil evening ofall is aCmost Here (etsget creative!

However, the law gives Allegan juris­ diction one mile in from the county line, which allows the Allegan County Sheriff's Department to patrol the lake periodically. Several questions con­ closing cerned of Orangeville Island, regula­ tions governing the size of boats, the number of boats that can be launched from the state park on a given day, shore stations several feet from the shore, and the cost of launching boats from the Allegan County Park. According to Jones, the closing of Orangeville Island, also known as Party Island, has not led to a reduced level of activity on the . lake. What has decreased, she said, is drunk driving of boat, animal waste and other pollution. Johnson said there is no law regulating the size of boats on lakes. The limit on the number of boats that can be launched at the state park is controlled by the number of parking spaces in the boat launch area; when the area is full, no more boats can be launched from the site. Users have to pay to launch boats from the Allegan County Park. Shore stations installed a distance from the shoreline have to be dealt1 with on a case-by-case basis, accord­ ing to Johnson. The issue, since shore stations are not illuminated, is whether the stations represent naviga­ tional hazards. When asked who would be liable if a shore station were to be hit, Johnson said that would have to be settled in court. “Living on the lake is not easy,” he added.* Noise, no-wake rules and buoys also were topics of questions. Johnson agreed that noise was a problem. “They just move on,” he said of offenders. “They know where we are. An aspect of the noise issue is the sound created by air boats. Johnson pointed out that current law address­ es exhaust and engine noises; propeller noises are not addressed. The state has a no-wake rule that goes into effect at 7:30 p.m. He said he views as slim the chances of getting residents to adopt it when most don’t have a chance to get out onto the lake until around 7 p.m. Marking shelves and sandbars with buoys drew disagreement between the department and GLPA. “It is not the sheriff’s responsibility,” said Johnson. Smith responded, “GLPA is not responsible because of liability. The Gun Lake Princess used to put them out but not anymore.” Board member Jim Riehl added that the association could not control and monitor the buoys; their attorney had advised them not to do it because of liability concerns. Jn a separate presentation, Kelly Goward, a watershed • ft •ik 7rA 4/ t ■* technician with the Allegan Conservation District, showed pictures of success­ ful greenbelt, or buffer strip, installations designed to reduce pollution and erosion by eliminating lawns next to water's the edge. Installations have been fundfl ed by a program in which the property owner pays 25 per­ cent of the cost of installa­ tion, and the state pays 75 percent. She urged people interested in such a project to contact her (269-673-8965, ext. 3) to set up a site visit. Goward also noted that renovations to the Allegan County park and boat launch site on Patterson Road includes a buffer strip. The GLPA is funding an infor­ mational kiosk site. Of great interest to people who fish on Gun Lake was news that the stocking of walleye will probably resume on the lake in the spring. (Jay Wesley of the MDNRE) said research indicated that restrictions imposed to control the spread of viral hemorrhagic sep­ ticemia will be lifted in the spring. Current plans call for stocking the lake with 2,000 eight- to nineinch fingerlings in October. Responding to a question about how to keep the geese from property, Goward sug­ gested tall vegetation. Geese, she said, do not like vegeta­ tion that is two to three feet tall. Jay Wesley of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment, fisheries divi­ sion apologized for his brief appearance, saying that he has been working the Marshall oil spill on the Kalamazoo River. He reported that beginning Oct. 1, residents will have the opportu­ nity to pay a $10 fee to secure admission to all of Michigan’s state parks. A special sticker to be added to license plates will identify persons who have paid the fee The normal daily charge an(j the season pass charge will be eliminated for Michigan residents but will remain for out-of-state visitors.

Wesley said the Gun Lake band of the Pottawatomi Indian tribe has approached the department about restor­ ing wild rice in the lake.

I - - Ml £ ~6 i • -. * t * As another school year approaches, you may be thinking about the day in which you’ll be sending your children off to college. Can you afford to help them pay for school while still saving for your own retirement? There are many strategies to explore when saving for your retirement and your child’s education. To imple­ ment the right mix of options, it's important to discuss your situation with a professional financial advisor, but here are some options to consider: • Contribute to your 401(k). Since many people don't have unlimited funds available to save for retire­ ment and college, it's impor­ tant to get the most mileage possible from the money invested. Try to utilize the tax-advantaged retirement accounts available to you. For starters, contribute as much as you can afford to your 401(k) or other employ­ er-sponsored retirement plan. Not only can your earnings grow on a tax-deferred basis, ▼ 3Z X . V V VVVVVVVV 4 Cotton Prints... x 57^’ ▼ ▼ but your contributions are generally made with pretax dollars, so the more you con­ tribute, the lower your annual taxable income — which, in turn, could give you more disposable income to invest for college. In 2010, you can contribute up to $16,500 to your 401(k), or $22,000 if you’re 50 or older. • Fund your IRA. Depending on your income level, your contributions to a traditional IRA may also lower your taxable income, again potentially freeing up resources for college. Plus, your earnings can grow tax deferred. If you qualify for a Roth IRA, your contributions are not tax-deductible, but your earnings grow tax free. Withdrawals are also taxfree, provided you’ve held your account at least five years and you don't start tak­ ing withdrawals until you're at least age 591/2. Also, you can withdraw Roth IRA con­ tributions without paying taxes (since you've already been taxed on this money), so 4 <1 • Cats, dogs, ants, horses, cows, birds, sheep, tractors, cars, trucks, airplanes, lighthouses, wildlife, florals, dots, <1 stripes, musical... more! - V?

If eligible, you can contribute up to $5,000 to your traditional or Roth IRA in 2010. or $6,000 if you’re 50 or older. • Open a 529 college sav­ ings plan. Contributions to a 529 plan are made with after­ tax dollars. However, when you contribute to a 529 plan, your earnings grow tax free. Withdrawals are also taxfree, provided they are used for qualified higher educa­ tion expenses. (Withdrawals for expenses other than qual­ ified higher education expen­ ditures may be subject to fed­ eral and state taxes plus a 10% penalty.) Furthermore, 529 plan contributions may be eligible for a state tax deduction or credit in certain states for residents who par­ ticipate in their own state’s plan. Also, the lifetime con­ tribution limits for 529 plans are quite generous, and you can gift $13,000 per year, per beneficiary, without incur­ ring gift taxes. To make sure you understand the tax rami­ fications of a 529 plan, you’ll want to consult with your tax advisor. • It may not be easy to put away as much as we’d like for retirement and college. But you do have some attractive savings and investment options. Don’t delay, because when saving for any goal, time is a great ally.

Baughman also raised the question of an assessment to the township for the costs of fixing the drain. McCrumb said nothing had been said about an assessment. Trustee Mary Cook added that she thought perhaps the cost could be split between the counties. Yarger responded •It that the condition of the tube running under the road was the •II. responsibility of the Barry County Road Commission. The board unanimously a approved resolution authorizing the expenditure of $15,000 to repair the inter-county drain. Deputy Supervisor Alice Jansma announced that a letter of approval had been received from the Land and Water Conservation Fund. The federal grant requires a $50,000 match from the township. me money, The $100,000 in all, will be used to establish basketball and pickle ball courts at the township park. However, she said anyone expecting to see construction underway next year may be disappointed since the state will encumber the money for approximately two years. Treasurer John Jerkatis Jansma asked if the $100,000 had to be spent on the park. She replied that the township did not have to spend the money just to spend it. He then asked if the door was open to the $50,000. McCrumb confirmed that it was. Ci For $50,000, can we do a restroom facility?" asked Jerkatis. Jansma advised him that the grant had been written for recreational uses and pur­ •It poses and cannot be used to construct a restroom facility. “I would like to apply for I I I I i J a grant to update »!• the rest­ rooms in the township hall,” said Jansma. Those restrooms are not handicap accessible, and she said she believes money is available for updating •!• them. The board voted unanimously to accept the grant and the terms of the agreement. In other park news, two six-foot long benches have been donated by the David and Vicki MacKellar family for the park. To make maintenance easier, he suggested two cement slabs be constructed and the benches placed on them. The board unanimously approved seeking three bids not to exceed $350 for the construction of the slabs. Township Planning Assistant Sandy Marcukaitis •!• updated the board on the progress of the Yankee Springs website. She noted that the designer has asked •It her about including township tax information, which is public information, on the website. If the information were on the website, mort­ gage companies, banks and other interested parties could be referred to the website for information. Currently anyone seeking that information calls the township office and township employees provide it. The question arising is whether providing this serv­ ice at no charge to commer­ cial users is the appropriate use of employee resources. Marcukaitis said BS&A Software has submitted a proposal containing two options. Option A would not cost the township or residents seeking tax information any money unless they wanted to print out a copy; there would be a $2 charge for documentation. Updates •Ii to tax information would be provided quarterly. The sec­ ond option would provide real-time updates as they occur and would cost the township $3,000 a year. »!• Updating on a monthly basis would be less expensive. Questions asked* in the ensuing discussion focused on the ability of BS&A to record the number of hits to the website asking for tax information and how the software could distinguish between residents and non­ residents asking for informa­ tion. Marcukaitis said she will ask about the number of hits. Jerkatis said the soft­ ware has the ability to distin­ guish nonresidents from resi­ dents. Yankee Springs had the highest turnout of voters in Barry County., precinct 1 had a turnout of 33 percent and Precinct 2 had a turnout of 37 percent. The board unanimously voted to approve Option A for tax website information for the current tax year;. Marcukaitis said key com­ ponents such as agendas of upcoming meetings can be put on the website, as well, and her goal is to keep the •It ­ website as up-to-date as pos sible. Responding to an inquiry from Lippert about the ability of outside ele­ ments to make changes to the site, Marcukaitis said it can­ not be changed from outside the township. The website also will be registered with the Michigan Townships Association. Sue Roush, cemetery sex­ ton representative, presented the new cemetery contract request of $13,500 for the current fiscal year to be paid in monthly installments of $1,125. The new contract, which the board approved, represents an increase of $1,257 from the previous VILLAGE OF CALEDONIA 1 I I I t r * COUNTY OF KENT, MICHIGAN PUBLIC NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on Thursday, September 9,2010, at 7:00 p.m., the Planning Commission of the Village of Caledonia will hold public hearings on the following mat­ ters at the Caledonia Township and Village Hall, 250 S. Maple Street, Caledonia, Michigan, each of which concerns a proposed ordinance to amend the Village of Caledonia Zoning Ordinance. 1. Medical Marijuana Businesses. This proposed ordinance would amend the Zoning Ordinance of the Village of Caledonia so as to define a “medical marijuana business” and to adopt Section 3.42, which will govern the cultivation, sale and distribution of medical marijuana. The proposed ordinance explains the purpose of the new provisions, specifies what information will be necessary for site plan approval for a medical marijuana business, including the location, sign requirements, lighting requirements, information to be submitted with the application and speci­ fies certain conditions which will require rejection of a site plan application. Operational require­ ments, provisions whereby a license from the Village will be obtained and other provisions are also included in the proposed ordinance. Medical marijuana businesses will also, by means of proposed Section 3.30(g) be prohibited as a home occupation within the Village. 2. Public Hearings for Planned Unit Developments. This proposed ordinance would amend Sections 12.8 and 20.3 of the Village Zoning Ordinance so as to clarify that the Village Council shall hold a public hearing on all PUD rezoning applications prior to their final approval. Notice of such public hearings shall be provided in accordance with Section 19.7 of the zoning ordinance. The Planning Commission may, in its discretion, also hold a public hearing if it desires to do so, but such a Planning Commission hearing is not required under the proposed ordinance amendments. The proposed amending ordinances are on file and may be examined at the Caledonia Village Office, 250 S. Maple, during Village Office hours. All interested persons may attend the public hearings and be heard with regard to the proposed amending ordinances. Written comments may be sub mitted to the Village Office, at the above-stated address, up to the time of the public hearings. Dated: August 19,2010 PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE VILLAGE OF CALEDONIA 06724068 year. In her report, Roush noted that repairs were needed to the west fence line of the Coman Cemetery and a dead oak tree at Robbins Cemetery needed to be removed. Also needing to be completed are $1,800 in repairs to stones and foundations at Coman and $1,300 at Robbins Cemetery. Dave Middleton. director of Thomapple Township Emergency Services, said the month of July had been a very busy month for the department. The month, he said, was a mixed bag of everything, including a farm accident and a major fire in down I [I ­ town Middleville. The heat has been a major factor in the increased number of medical calls, he added. Occupational Safety and Health Agency was satisfied with its recent inspection of the fire station, he told the board. Cook asked how the fig­ ures on the emergency serv­ ices report were used to determine the figure Yankee Springs Township pays for fire protection and emer­ gency services. Middleton said fire and EMS figures were used but medical calls were not; however, washing the street down after a motor vehicle accident was consid­ ered a fire/EMS call. Trustee Al Schwennesen , referring to the oil spill in Calhoun County, asked if the department was aware of oil area. pipelines in the area, Middleton said there were no oil pipelines in Yankee Springs Township but there were residential natural gas lines. Schwennesen about a source for a map that would show all the pipelines run­ ning through the area. Middleton suggested the Emergency Operation Center of Barry County. All lines, even if not in use, must be checked, he said. Middleton announced the Barry County Red Cross would be holding a blood drive at the fire station on Payne Lake Road Thursday, Aug. 26. County Commissioner Craig Stolsonburg reported that the board of commis­ sioners had recently recom­ mended passage of a resolu­ tion establishing an 11-per­ son animal control advisory committee. The purpose of the committee is to help* bring volunteers back to the animal shelter and relieve the staff of some of its duties, thus improving care and the adoption rate. The new board can make recommendations to the sheriff but cannot compel the sheriff to accept them, Stolsonburg added that the board was drawing up a request for proposal for a director. The commissioners have begun work on the budget for 2011, he said, adding that the county is starting out $500,000 short. Non-mandated services will be cut by $350,000 and then cuts will occur in mandated services. During a brief discussion, Jerkatis asked if the new ani­ mal control advisory com- mittee was an all-volunteer HI board. Stolsonburg con­ firmed that it was. McCrumb said the creation of the com­ mittee did not imply wrong­ doing by the sheriff s depart­ ment, just that extra assis­ tance was needed. Lippert asked if the county had a limit on the number of dogs in a household. Informed that the county does have a limit of three, she asked that it be noted the Yankee Springs ordinance contains the same limit. Zoning Administrator •II Robert Lippert reported that four site plan reviews had been conducted in July; two were for accessory buildings one was for a garage and another for an addition. The planning commission approved construction of an accessory building and dis­ cussed the wind turbine ordi­ nance. The zoning board of appeals had received two requests for variances, he said; it was determined the applicants did not need vari­ ances. Upon withdrawal of the applications, Lippert requested, and the board approved, refunding the application fees. He said he had received complaints regarding the boarding of horses without a special-exception use permit and the presence of 13 dogs at a residence. A complaint by a concerned neighbor about •It the lack of a building permit for a handicap-accessible ramp was investigated. Lippert said the neighbor was concerned that without a permit, it was possible for the ramp to be built improp­ erly. Presentation of the bill from McKenna Associates for planning services, particularly the amount for work on a wind turbine ordinance, drew concern from Jerkatis, who has been opposed to the proposed ordinance. In the discussion, it was noted that the wind turbine was listed as a priority item at the joint meeting held by the board, the commission and the zon­ ing board of appeals. Payment was approved. Reporting on the FEMA flood insurance situation, Lippert said that, to date, 227 letters of map amendment had been received. A total of 475 parcels on the lake were affected by the FEMA floor insurance rate map. He recommended that after the elections, the board should consider action to seek reim­ bursement for residents who were forced to go through the map amendment process. Jerkatis delivered his trea­ surer s report saying that the township was in good shape at this point. Interest income continues to be low, he said. The current balance in the general fund is $1,014,213. All interest income is rein­ vested. The fire equipment purchase fund currently holds $520,-066, he said. Janice Lippert reported that the primary election had gone well. “Yankee Springs had the highest turnout of voters in Barry County,” she said, not­ ing that Precinct 1 had a turnout of 33 percent and Precinct 2 had a turnout of 37 percent. Both numbers represent an increase of more than 50 percent in Precinct 1 over the 2006 primary, the last time a gubernatorial pri­ mary was held. In Precinct 2, the increase was approxi­ mately 33 percent over 2006. In other business, she said the township could save some money by paying the bill from Orkin for pest con­ trol at the township hall ($768) and the fire station ($652) in one lump sum. The •It board voted to pay the com­ bined amount. In new business, Cook said she would like to attend the fall conference of the Michigan Townships Association in Grand Rapids Sept. 23. McCrumb and Jansma also indicated an interest in the conference. The subject of the confer­ ence will be combining the purchase of services to cut costs. At the very beginning of the meeting when the board was considering adopting the minutes of the July 8 board •H meeting, resident Shane Vandenberg rose to ask for a change to the minutes. The official recorder had described him as using pro­ fanity to express his disap­ proval of McCrumb’s com­ ment that he disqualified Vandenberg because he had not applied for a planning commission post •It when asked to do so. (At the time the request was made, there was no vacancy on the commis­ sion.) Vandenberg said what he said was not profanity. Cathy Strickland, a friend of Vandenberg, added that the dictionary -she consulted defined profanity as the defamation or irreverence toward religion or sacred objects. (The most recent edition of the Random / $ & $ .1 I I Il /! K: 1 I S’Wii bn House- Webster ' s Unabridged Dictionary, a recognized source for the American English language, gives several definitions for the root word “profane," including “com­ mon or vulgar.”) Vandenberg’s concern. which led him to ask that the word he actually used or the abbreviation, “b.s.,” be used, is that his reputation could be damaged because people may be left with the impres­ sion that he used another word. Cook said she was willing to move to change the min­ utes to say that Vandenberg had expressed • his disap­ proval by “using the word b.s." in place of “by using profanity." Her motion was approved unanimously. Jerkatis revealed his frus­ tration when it became apparent there might be further discussion of the change. “Id like to get out of here before 11 o’clock,” he said, “Can we please go to the agenda?” The next meeting of the Yankee Springs Township Board will be at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 9, at the township hall, 284 N.

LaVoie is replacing Larry Seger, who coached the Thomapple Kellogg boys for 39 seasons beginning in 1968, then after two seasons away returned to lead the team for a 40th season last fall. Seger coached LaVoie, who played first singles for four seasons at TKHS. LaVoie then went on to play two seasons at Aquinas College, before knee prob­ lems brought his playing days there to an end. LaVoie has been an assistant for boys' and girls’ tennis at TKHS on and off over the past few years and also spent a season as an assistant for the Caledonia girls' team. “The time was right (to get a head coaching job), and I've got flexibility with my work schedule,” LaVoie said. “Coach Seger told me he was quitting the boys, and I said all right put my name in the hat.” LaVoie took over the pro­ gram in May, and ran the team camp in June. * 1 I « < f r X J ■ f r I I X 1 vZ V r <- X •4g I A ■ y > w A c A Td jir \7\Z mL/i “Coach LaVoie does a lot more conditioning and run­ ning and stuff. Coach Seger was more of the form and how to hit shots and stuff,” said Trojan first singles play­ er Rocky Vanzegeren. “If you went to summer camp you heard about it, but the people who came for the first day of practice were pretty surprised by it.” The Trojans had just under 945-0191 JEFF DOBBIN S brucesframe.com I -■ J *§r.; *•4 ■ 1 nr d di e vtlte— m i ) JC ✓ •< i cX.XX I AJ Thornapple Kellogg second singles player Tyler Swanson hits a forehand return against Otsego during Wednesday’s TK Invitational.

There were four players who could not participate Wednesday, so the Trojans will have a full varsity line­ up when their numbers are back up to 14 soon. “I run practice like I would run drill sessions at Orchard Hills and East Hills when I used to work up there,” LaVoie said. “I emphasize condition­ ing. We run the stairs in the football stadium. There's a hill over there we run. We do suicides, and service box line touches. We might not win very much, but we’ll be in tip top shape that’s for sure.” The Trojans didn't win any matches Wednesday, finishing third behind tour­ nament champion Comstock Park and runner-up Otsego. LaVoie learned he's not a big fan of being a tourna­ ment manager. “There’s a lot of adminis­ trative stuff that I'm going to have to gel used to,” LaVoie said. “I love the coaching aspect, but the administrative part -1 didn't realize how big of a challenge that was going to be.” The Panthers and Bulldogs proved to be a big challenge for his players. The Trojan team was without a fourth singles player, or fourth or fifth doubles teams on the day. The Trojans won just two sets all day. The second dou­ bles team of Andrew Rinvelt and Ian Smith fell 7-5, 5-7, (10-6) against Comstock Park, and at first doubles the TK duo of Graham Lince and Dillon Blain dropped a 6-4, 4-6, (10-6) decision against Comstock Park. Those top two Trojan dou­ bles teams were also solid in their other matches, with Lince and Blain falling 6-3, 6-3 to Otsego, and Rinvelt and Smith falling to the Bulldogs 6-2, 6-4. It was a tough day for Vanzegeren at first singles, as he fell to the tournament champion from Otsego 6-0, 6-4, and to Comstock Park's top player 6-1,6-0. The Trojans bounced back in their first dual of the sea­ son Thursday, topping Kelloggsville 6-1. Thornapple Kellogg swept the four singles flights. Vanzegeren topped J.J. Butts 6-0, 6-0 at number one sin­ gles. At number two Tyler Swanson scored a 7-6(4), 6-2 win over Chris Strom. At third singles Ben Delger defeated Brandon Dulyea 61, 6-4, and at fourth singles Smith beat Joe Weber 6-4, 64. Jordan Timm and Rinvelt scored a 6-4, 2-6, 6-4 win for the Trojans over Nate Kies and Brad DeWater at second doubles, and at third doubles TK's Kyle Lowery and Ian topped Davis Morris Bledsoe and Kyle Spoors 26, 6-4, (10-6). The Rockets' lone win came at first doubles where the team of Connor Nickleson and Josh Kies edged Lince and Blain 6-4, 6-3.

Middleville’s Nate Sisson graduated with the class of 2009. Huntington is taking a semester off from college and Sisson is preparing for his return to Grand Valley State University where he is studying to become a special education teacher. Both spent several days this month as sideline foot­ ball players as the film ** was being Touchback filmed in Coopersville. They were two of the more than 1,200 young football players who auditioned. Only 38 were selected. “Tryouts were like normal tryouts. It was fun and excit­ ing,” said the tall, slender Huntington who played foot­ ball as an eighth grader. In high school, he wres­ tled for all four years and was a soccer player for two years. When he saw some of the college football players in the auditions, he said he didn't expect to be selected. He was called back and was selected to be a sideline player during four days of filming. Two were during in the daytime, but most of the filming was done after twi­ light. He said he thanks God for this opportunity. Friends from First Baptist Church in Middleville suggested he try out when they heard about it on television. He wears number 73 as a member of the Coldwater football team. His team is coached by Hollywood actor Kurt Russell. Sisson, who played foot­ ball player for TKHS, was also on the soccer and track teams. His grandparents were the ones who suggested he audition for the movie. He said he played in one of the practice scenes and is number 71 on the Cuyahoga sideline team. One of the coaches on that team was played by former Detroit Lion Barry Sanders. and Sisson Both described Huntington Sanders as humble.

They said they liked watching director Don Handfield as he worked with Brian Presley, the co-star of the movie. Russell talked to the young athletes about his own experiences as a baseball player and his son’s as a pro­ fessional hockey player. Both were impacted by injuries.

They said they even began to take him a little for granted. “After a while, it was no big deal,” recalled Sisson. Russell was in Coopersville and Grand Rapids for eight days during the filming. and Sisson Both Huntington said little girls asked them for their auto­ graphs. Sisson even helped one little girl by taking her paper over to get Barry Sanders' autograph for her. Huntington’s mom and Sisson's grandmother were also there in the Coopersville High School stands as part of the filming as well. and Both • Sisson Huntington say they did receive a small salary but “it won't make you rich.” Both say that the experience was more important than the pay. Huntington says that costar Presley praised the area and that he was “impressed” by how hard working every­ one was. Huntington says, “he said we were the best group.” Sisson says, “my advice to anyone thinking about this is go for it.” Huntington credits God for being chosen even though he was smaller than many who tried out. “1 thank God for giving me the oppor­ tunity.” Huntington also believes Nate Sisson was number 71 on the Cuyahoga sideline team for the movie Touchback. •j that this experience will help him as he decides on a future career. “1 got to meet a lot of important people in this area,” he says.

The resolution before the board specified a rate of 1.685 for the payment to be made in the coming year. The Oreason for the rate is .that the funds raised by the capital campaign and other funds already In hand for the library are available. The board passed the resolution on a 6-0 vote.

Ridge Elementary School. More than 250 stu­ dents are registered for the start of school on Sept. 7. Cl It is a green school that we hope to get LEED IS Certification on, said Phillips. The building runs on geot­ hermal heating and cooling systems, and the windows have It has low-e glass to reduce the sun rays. ' Most of the rooms will have enough natural light to reduce the need for artificial light. Phillips explained that spray foam insulation was applied between bricks to provide for a better insulated building. He said a light color on the roof will reflect heat and they replaced a flat roof with gables for a longer roof life. A wind turbine was integrat­ ed into the sign in front of the building which will pro­ vide enough power for the computer lab in the building. Phillips noted that the start of this fifth elementary building in the district has released some of the pressure in other buildings. At the end of the 2009-10 school year, 27 teachers and 20 support staff took advantage of early retirement incentives.

Oflrf tainly true, because stock prices will always fluctuate, and the return of your princi­ pal is not guaranteed. Nonetheless, stocks have historically offered returns that have been higher than the inflation rate, although as you’ve no doubt heard, past performance is not a guaran­ tee of future results. And if your investments do not keep up with inflation, you could lose significant purchasing power over time. Clearly, then, your goal should be to make sure your savings and investments are working hard for you without taking on more risk than you would like. And one of the greatest risks occurs when you have all your money tied up in just one type of invest­ ment. When a market down­ turn strikes a particular group of investments, and you have no other investments to help cushion the blow, your port­ folio could take a sizable hit. One way to help lower your risk level is to spread, or diversify, your money among a range of investments, such as stocks, bonds and govern­ ment securities. And while diversification can’t guaran­ tee a profit or protect against loss, it can help you reduce I Gaines Charter Township.

Another way to make sure your investments are work­ ing hard for you is to have them “multi-task.” Consider your 401 (k) or other employ­ er-sponsored retirement plan. Not only does your money have the opportunity to grow on a tax-deferred basis. which means it can accumu­ late faster than if it were placed in an investment on which you paid taxes every year, but also your contribu­ tions are generally made with pretax dollars, so the more you contribute, the lower your taxable income. Such “double duty” is a great way to keep your money working hard for you. And the same principle may apply to your traditional IRA, assuming your income level qualifies you to make deductible con­ tributions. Labor Day comes and goes quickly. But by making the right moves, you can help ensure your money is work­ ing hard for you 365 days a year. This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your Jones Edward local Financial Advisor. BOND, continued from page 1 w ■x® hairtm a On Labor Day, we cele­ brate the achievements of the American worker. As some­ one who works hard yourself, you can appreciate this holi­ day. And, of course, you hope your efforts will even­ tually result in achieving your important goals, such as college for your children or a comfortable retirement. But if you’re going to turn these objectives into reality, your money needs to work as hard as you do. What steps can you take to help make sure your money is working hard for you? For starters, consider keeping the money you may need in the near future in investments that pay minimal rates of return. These investments can offer you liquidity — in other words, it’s no problem to get at your money when you need it. But you can find some investments that offer liquidity and can pay a more attractive rate of return — investments that may work harder for you. Another reason you may keep money in a low-rate investment is that such investments typically offer greater protection of princi­ pal than an investment such as a stock.

She is now back in Aberdeen, South Dakota and will continue to get therapy. by Patricia Johns Staff Writer As of the morning of Aug. 19, Katie Wisniewski, 1999 Caledonia High School grad­ uate, was still a patient at St. Joseph Hospital in St. Paul, Minn., following surgery for Moyamoya disease in her brain. She was then dis­ charged back to her home in Aberdeen, S.D., a few hours MM later. . “The surgery went well but took a little longer than we expected because her sur­ geon was able to do a better procedure than he expected,” said her mother.

Her recovery time for the surgery itself will not change, but she will not have to wait for the blood flow to be restored.” Sue said the family thought Katie was doing very well immediately after surgery on Aug. 12, but dur­ ing the first night, Katie had a crisis. Her face and limbs swelled up, she got extreme­ ly dizzy, felt as if she was falling very fast, saw strange shapes flashing in front of her eyes and was nauseated. “It was very scary for her. They even called the surgeon at 2 a.m.,” said Sue. They treated Katie for dehydration and a bad reaction to the anesthetic. Her mother said Katie felt better immediately. Friday, Aug. 13, she had a pretty good day but she struggled with keeping her blood pressure high enough to get out of the intensive care unit (ICU), according to Sue. Katie was able to sit in a chair for 10 minutes, take a short walk and eat real food. Her mom said that eating hurts because they had to cut her jaw muscle in half. She slept off and on most of the day, but remained in the ICU Saturday. Sue said Katie had trouble keeping IVs open and had to have them replaced several times. On Sunday, Aug. 15, Katie was up in a chair, wait­ ing for her breakfast when her family arrived in the morning. Her bandages had been removed Saturday and the wound was healing well. She has been evaluated by physical and occupational therapists, The family and Katie had to cope with the ups and downs of recovery, Sue said. “Sunday was a great day and she seemed to be doing very well, even given per­ mission to explore the fifth floor, without a nurse, just family, and we were very encouraged. There were rumors of going home on Monday,” she said. Then Monday was a hard day. Katie fainted in physical therapy and afterward was in a lot of pain, dizzy light­ headed and nauseous. She was then put on bed rest all day and had many tests. She had to cancel her therapy because she could not sit up and was unable to handle any light or people talking in her room. Tuesday, Aug. 17, was a day of slow healing, said Sue. Katie was still very sen­ sitive to light and sound, and missed her morning therapy but was able to have a show­ er. Wednesday brought more healing and a return to therapy. Katie is struggling with math and memory, but expects to continue outpa­ tient therapy in Aberdeen following her discharge Thursday, Aug. 19.

The Caledonia Dance Center has expanded its schedule to six days each week, offering a more diverse program and convenient class times to the residents of Caledonia and surrounding areas. According to School Director Ramiller. the school has grown faster than anticipated over the last ten years. The fast growth is due to a dedication to providing convenient, top quality instruction to its students in a fun and caring atmosphere. Every year the dance studio has added more members to its teaching staff and has upgraded facilities by such things as quality sound systems, observation monitors, and professional ’‘floating” dance floors. Again this September, the dance center will start the season with more instructors, dancers, and classes than ever before. fl II Facilities Offer Extra Benefits for Dancers One of the most important features of a dance studio is the type of flooring used.

(Photo by Patricia Johns) according to Rider. There are new initiative in writing'as well. The Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) and the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) have submitted the draft K-12 grade level Common Core State Standards document. These standards, which include English language arts and literacy in history/social science, as well as math represent a set of expectations for student knowledge that will be adopted, along with 47 other states, by the state of Michigan for implementa­ tion in the fall of 2010. Assistant superintendent Tom Enslen said, “In other words, for the first time ever, almost every state in the union will ultimately have, by grade-level and subject, the same standards for every student. • This will provide achievement data that we can compare with the other 47 states to make informed decisions regarding interven­ tion strategies.” The Common Standards are meant to provide a greater opportunity to share experiences and best prac­ tices within and across states that will improve the ability to best serve the needs of stu­ dents. Enslen said, “This initia­ tive will also ensure that we maintain America's competi­ tive edge, so that all of our students are well prepared with the skills and knowl­ edge necessary to compete with not only their peers here at home, but with students from around the world.” Rider said, “There is still a lot of work to be done to make the transition to the Common Core Standards. In the long run, though, these standards are a common sense first step toward ensur?! uUrtchlldre" are gett"ig the best possible education no matter where they live.” Enslen said, “The teachers and administrators have been working for the last year and a half on a process for align­ ing our curriculum kinder­ garten through 12th grade. The process, called Power Standards, is a three-year endeavor that will result in a number of advantages for our students.” He explained, “Our work began with the task of sort­ ing through the state stan­ dards to identify those in which our students must be proficient; standards we would classify as priority, and this was done in all core and elective classes. From there, teachers dug deeper into each standard to develop them further by capitalizing on opportunities to challenge our students into thinking beyond concrete levels. We then worked on lesson plans that would require students to perform tasks throughout units of instruction that would reveal students' level of comprehension.” The district has developed scoring guides, and is work­ ing on common assessments that will provide the data needed to help make the decisions needed for appro­ priate instruction. However state and local budget cuts will require the district to pull back some on this process because it does come as a considerable expense to our district. * Enslen said, “We will con­ tinue, however, and the last leg of the process will be professional development around data-driven decision making. In the end, teachers will be better able to make informed decisions regard­ ing instructional strategies based on the individual needs of our students.” In his opening the school year blog Rider wrote, “Thornapple Kellogg's focus continues to be providing an excellent education for all of our children. One the great­ est contributing factors to the success of this district has been the outstanding quality of the certified and support staff who work with our stu­ dents everyday, along with the close partnership that has been developed between the school district, parents and community. We are deeply committed to those relation­ ships and feel a tremendous responsibility to make the most of the great opportuni­ ties we have ahead of us.” Rider said he is excited about the upcoming school year and believes high school students will be amazed at the new art rooms, the auditorium and the new entrance to the building. He said this is but this year one of the most positive aspects of the school year will be celebrated during Homecoming weekend. The Thornapple Kellogg High School football team will compete against Caledonia on Friday, Oct. 8. The dedi­ cation of the new addition to the high school will be on Sunday, Oct. 10. “We are looking forward to celebrating the new addi­ tion on that day,” said Rider.

The circus, home to more than a dozen acts, set up at Kraft Meadows Middle School, bringing with it a variety of animals, artistry and people. Kiwanis, a local group that supports children in the community, has donated around $60,000 since its beginning, raising money through events such as the circus. Club members help the circus with details of the show, such as ticket sales and finding a place to set up on. In return, they receive a portion of the pre-show tick­ et sales.

I am amazed at how many chil­ dren have never been to a cir­ cus. It is a terrific community event and gives the Kiwanis visibility in the community.

Because of this increase of students, the school just completed two classrooms (each with its own restroom), addition and gathering area. Private donations allowed the additions to be done debtfree, said Vicki Heetderks. The addition is part of a larger $1.2 million cam­ paign. The school will be adding on four classrooms as soon as it has the cash in hand or pledges. “We are blessed with sup­ porters," said Heetderks. The two new rooms will serve 85 pre-kindergartners (five classes) and 12 students enrolled in the young 5s pro­ gram.

New teachers were not hired but the school did expand the hours of three existing teachers. The school’s total enroll­ ment is 484 students. The addition was a response to parents who requested more kindergarten options than a half-time pro­ gram. Heetderks also said the school was turning families away because programs were full. “Now we can accommo­ date another class,” she said. The school also had two portables that out-lasted their usefulness; they are now gone and the programs held in that space have been brought into the school building.

Phillips said .he is also convinced that successful teaching does not occur in a professional vacuum. They are all members of a larger professional learning community. He urged them to find the time to meet as a team, either at the grade level or the departmental level to talk about how everyone can be successful and to make a plan to ensure student success. In closing he said to his audience, “You are. the cream of the crop. You were picked from hundreds who applied. We thought you were the best, so now it is your turn to show us you are the best.” Lynelle Dodge, director of special education for Caledonia and Byron Center, said in the 38 years she has spent in special education, it has moved from being a place to being a service. She said support services are driven by data; and there is a new process for gathering thelarge amount of data needed. She also reminded the group of confidentiality. “Everything is done on a need-to-know basis in the school community,” she said, "Guard your tongue.” Darrell Kingsbury, princi­ pal, Dutton Elementary, fol­ lowed her with the district’s vision statement. “Every group has values. Information available on proposed Thornapple Township road millage Middleville's During Heritage Day, Saturday, Sept. 11, members of the Better Roads in Thornapple Township committee will be on hand to answer questions from township residents about the .5 mill road millage request that will be on the Nov. 2 election ballot. The committee has printed Roads the “Better in Township: Thornapple Questions and Answers” handout, paid for by the committee. Questions in the flier range from the amount raised over the three years of the levy, responsibility for snow plowing and the cost of dust­ deterring material. The .5 mill levy would raise $116,476 in the first — of the levy and year $349,428 over three years. It would be levied in the tax years of 2010. 2011 and 2012. The Barry County Road Commission is responsible for snow plowing of all pub­ lic roads in the county. • During a presentation by Thornapple Township Clerk Susan Vlietstra to the mem­ bers of the township plan­ ning commission Aug. 23, she told them that none of the millage would go toward the Finkbeiner and Crane Road bridge project. Copies of the questionand- answer sheet are at the Thornapple Kellogg School and Community Library. Questions also may be mailed to Better Roads in Thornapple Township, PO Box 131, Middleville 49333.

In his closing remarks he said, “You are valued. You are part of a great organiza­ tion. Great things are expected from all of us. Trust your administrators. Learn from your colleagues. Enjoy what you do and don’t lose sight of our vision." Randy Rodriguez, director of curriculum and instruc­ tion, said, “This is an excel­ lent time to be in education.” He cited the development of a common core curriculum and said he intends to focus on the building up of advanced placement courses.

Social time is at 6 p.m. followed by dinner at 7 p.m. The Wengers were selected as this year's Hometown Heroes because of their combined service to the community. Bob served 12 years on the Barry County Board of Commissioners, helped build the Barry County Jail and served on the Barry County and Soil Conservation District. Middleville area residents over the past several years have enjoyed a delicious service to the community, as well, Several years ago. the Middleville United Methodist Church encouraged its mem- bers to demonstrate how it could share its “talents” with the community. Church members were given $10 to use and asked to return it after several months to see if it grew following a rJiblical story. Bob Wenger took his $10 and purchased com seeds with it. He planted the corn, harvested it and provided a cart in front of the church to sell it for donations, That year he returned more than $300 to the church. Since then, that cart with its com has appeared each summer in the church's parking lot. Funds raised from the donations left in the box go to support church programs. Helen and Bob, who have been married 57years, have six children, 16 grandchildren, four “proxy grandchildren, four great grandchildren and two proxy grandchildren, Helen is active in the church in its women's group and Helping Hands. . Her glazed doughnuts are one reason some in the area put the annual church bazaar on their calendars. In past years, she brought her cooking talents to the food classes at the Thomapple Kellogg High School, along with Lois Bremer. The Wengers still attend as many sporting events at the high school as they can. They support 4-H, Farm Bureau activities and the community. Their house has been the home for foreign exchange students, one for a full year, and for several over the Christmas holiday, “Family history is important to us,” said Helen, adding that her parents'(the Cridlers) home is still in the family and is where their son Phil lives, Some of the kids are not far from the Scales Prairie area farm in Thomapple Township where they grew up. “Farming is the only occu- pation Helen, the kids and I ever had and we loved it,” said Bob. Bob shared with the residents of this area what he and Helen have made of their lives in this community. Both thank their parents for their upbringings which gave them clear understanding about the rights and wrongs of life, “After you start school, you are on your own to make choices,” said Bob. Helen's family has lived west of town long enough that her great-grandfather, graduated from Middleville in the late 1800s. Bob came to TK in the fall of 1946 from the “University" of Harris Creek, (in Bown Township. Kent County) which had eight grades. He had graduated with honors as second in his eighth grade class, which had just two students. “What a change from the one-room school to a class of J-ad Graphicspublishers of... • The Reminder • Hastings Banner • Lakewood News • Maple Valley News • Middleville-Caledonia Sun and News • Lowell Ledger & Buyers Guide • Battle Creek Shopper News • Marshall Community Ad-Visor & Chronicle Graphics OFFICE HOURS: MONDAY-FRIDAY 8:30AM - 5:00PM 35 to 40,” recalled Bob. “One of the reasons 1 came to TK was that I knew the Harrison family and thought 1 could have one of them in my class, No such luck.” The second reason was that it was a quarter-mile closer to the bus. He added, “high school was good to me with some great friends and teachers. Alton Lawrence and Art Surally brought this country boy out of his shell.” Bob was president of the student council and received the American Farm degree from the National FFA in 1952. This is the only American Farm degree presented to a TK student. When we we moved to ““When Middleville in 1960, we brought four kids with us, Christina, Martin. Philip and Mary. We soon found out if you didn't have at least six you were unproductive, so we had two more, Dan and Thad.” said Bob. As the kids got older, Helen and Bob had time to get involved with community and church activities. These included Helen serving on the boards of the Department of Hu man Services and Thomapple Manor for more than 20 years. She also worked in the local drug store. “She is still a great cook and baker and makes many dishes for the church,” Bob said of his wife. Bob, who served on the Thomapple Kellogg Board of Education for eight years. • f fl 1351 N.

He also was chair of the renovation committee at the Middleville United Methodist Church and was chair of the citizens committee for the construction of the‘new’high school, as well. The community has given great support to our family , as well,” he said. Once was the time our barn burnt and the community came out and rebuilt to the point we didn't spend one dollar for labor. What a humble feeling to see 30 to 50 people on two different Saturdays with their hearts filled with love.” The second was when their grandson Travis was killed in a traffic accident. “What an outpouring of sympathy was shown, ” said Bob. This is a great community, and our family thanks you for letting us be a part of it. God bless,” he said.

(Photo by Patricia Johns) by Patricia Johns Staff Writer At 11 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 12, Mother Barbara Wilson, pastor at St. Francis of Assisi Episcopal Church, will hold a brief ceremony to dedicate the new 10-hole disc golf course which has been estab­ lished behind the church in Orangeville. The course is open to the public and joins two other public disc golf courses in Barry County — one in the village of Middleville at Spring Park and one in Hastings off Hammond Road near the Azhigaawin hiking trail. Mark Paradowski, who is in charge of the parks in Orangeville Township, said he is excited about the part- nership with the church that has made the installation of the 10 par-three holes course possible. Golfers are asked to park in a separate lot behind the church. A picnic table and a portable toilet are available for the use by the golfers. The church will be installing a special sign created by Joyce Hulberl-Barroto which announces “Angels come to play and have the devil of a time.” “We are reaching out to the community,” said Junior Warden Jack Hulbert. “We want everyone to enjoy the space.’’ Paradowski and Hulbert believe the new course also will help people see the pos­ itive aspects of the Orangeville community. The church is collecting donations for the course to add the final eight holes. Donations can be sent to St. Francis of Assisi Episcopal Church, 11850 Nine Mile Road, Shelbyville MI 49344. Several people donated the entire $300 for a hole, and others made contribu­ tions, which are tax­ deductible. In addition to Paradowski and Hulbert, others volun­ teering to establish the course are ob Knapp and Ken VanderVeen. ringing their own brush hog and working on the course were Jeff and Vicki Flunick. The course is open day light hours all week. Players should bring their own discs. I St. Francis of Assisi Episcopal Church in Orangeville welcomes everyone, including now disc golf players.

The sport of disc golf evolved as an offshoot of the many games spawned by the Frisbee craze. The game started with people using Frisbees and aiming at tar­ gets made up of trees, trash cans, light poles, pipes or whatever else was handy. Disc golf is similar to reg­ ular golf; however, instead of using golf clubs and balls aiming for a hole, disc golf players use slightly heavier, flexible discs and aim for a disc pole hole, a pole extend­ ing up from the ground with chains and a basket where the disc is supposed to land. The object of the game is to complete each hole in the fewest number of throws, starting from a tee area and finishing at the disc pole hole. Generally, a course is nine or 18 disc pole holes long. At this time, there are 10 holes in the St. Francis course. Players start at the first hole and complete the course in order, playing through to the last hole. The player with lowest total cumulative score wins. Disc golf differs from reg­ ular golf in several ways, and the courses themselves can have a wide variety of ter­ rain. Paradowski said he believes disc golf is one of the best lifetime fitness sports. It is easy to learn, is a healthy activity and is acces­ sible to people of all ages and fitness levels. Eventually, Paradowski said he would like to include a disc golf event in Orangeville Days activities in August. The rules are quite similar to the rules used in the game of Club Golf and courtesy to other players is important. Players tee off from the first tee. Tee-off order on all subsequent holes is deter­ mined by the score on the previous hole. The player with the lowest score tees off first. The thrown disc is always left on the lie, or where it came to rest, until a marker disc is placed on the ground directly in front of and touching the disc, The thrown disc is then picked up. Proper foot placement when throwing requires some practice. The foot that players put weight on when throwing, also called the “plant” foot, must be as close as is reasonable to the front line of the tee or to the mark- er disc, in no case ahead of the line or disc, or more than one foot behind the line, or disc. The other foot can be any place a player chooses as long as it is no closer to the hole than the rear of the marker disc. Follow-through stepping past marker disc after throw­ ing is allowed on any throw except when putting, which is within 10 meters of the hole. Falling forward to keep balance after a putt is not allowed. This infraction is called a falling putt. If the disc is stuck in a tree or a bush more than two meters above the ground, the marker disc is placed exactly beneath it and is removed, from the tree. Players also have to add one throw to their score, called a penalty throw. Some courses have out-ofbounds areas, sometimes for the safety of the players. If a disc lands out of bounds, players should place the marker disc inbounds at the place where the disc went out and give themselves a one-throw penalty. Standing water or mud on the course caused by sprin­ klers or rain is not consid­ ered out of bounds, and the disc may be relocated to a drier area no closer to the hole with no penalty. Tee throws must be com­ pleted within or behind the designated tee area. Players should not throw until the players in front of them are out of range. Fairway throws must be made with the foot closest to the hole on the lie. The other foot may be no closer to the hole than the lie. A run-up and normal follow-through, after release, is allowed. A dog leg is one or more designated trees or poles in the fairway that must be passed as indicated by arrows. Until the dog leg is passed, the closest foot to the dog leg must be on the lie when the disc is released. A disc that comes to rest in the disc basket or chains constitutes successful com­ pletion of that hole. - Any disc that comes to rest above the ground is con­ sidered an unplayable lie. The disc must be thrown from the lie on the ground. Continued next page H" J * Jr A IT itolWT | i $1 r %sS|j Qi ’llL 1 JI aS 'Sr % • It s* 4k’ �The Sun and News.

The meeting opened with Superintendent Gary Rider describing how the district came to make changes in principals. It ended with him telling the parents that stu­ dents will have a good year and “won't even notice the change." At the end of the 20092010 school year, in a cost measure, Page - cutting Elementary School Principal Dona Raymer retired. Page serves fourth and fifth graders. Tim Shaw, the principal of Lee Elementary School which serves second and third QIgraders, was to become principal of both schools with the assistance of Eric 4 .4 Proseus, who has been the principal assistant at Thornapple Kellogg High School. However, Shaw was recruited to become a princi­ pal in the Forest Hills School District and has left the TK school system. sO Beginning in July, Rider and Assistant Superintendent i-W Tom Enslen and the rest of the administration worked hard to form a transition which would provide princiJfrj pals at both these elementary V * & kt 'Hi- 4 t * -*■- •» . •J ' * ** •• JWs I 4J ~; "'i * s •F . ° V '71 - -• 1 .. ■fcjf. - to ’NS « » u fl p A;*' I eS - I : f w? l. & w •r > - 1 *.

A throw that lands out of bounds, must be played from a point three feet in bounds from where the disc went out of bounds, permanent water hazards and public roads are always out of bounds. Players keep each other honest. They also pick up trash and help new players play by the rules. Terms used in disc golf include: Tee pad — The location or designated area in which the first throw of the golf hole is supposed to take place from. Tee pads are typically be made of concrete or rubber. A portion of a sidewalk or a utility marker flag or spraypainted box also maybe used as a tee pad. The basket — the trapper basket is a pole with a base surrounded by chains. Once a disc comes to rest in the trapper basket, the hole is considered complete. Throw — the act of advancing the disc toward the basket. This can be accomplished by many dif­ ferent throwing styles: back­ hand, forehand, rollers, etc. Each throw is counted toward the player's score. Lie — the spot where the disc comes to rest. This is often marked by a mini-disc marker. Par — as in ball golf, each disc golf hole has a posted par. The par is the desired number of strokes that a play­ er would need to complete the hole. All the holes at St. Francis are par-three holes. Drive — any throw off of the tee pad or a throw from the fairway designed for maximum distance. Approach — usually the second shot of a hole, designed to place the disc within putting distance. Putt — the final throw or throws of the hole aimed at getting a disc to come to rest in the trapper basket. Any throw within the circle (IO­ meter radius). Ace a hole-in-one; occurs when a player makes the first shot, or drive, into the basket.

Circle — helps defines a true disc golf putt. If a player is throwing his or her disc at the basket with in a 10-meter or 30-foot circle of the bas­ ket, they must follow an additional set of putting rules. Basically, if a player is in the circle, the disc has to come to rest in the basket before any part of the play­ er's body touches past the mini-marker toward the bas­ ket. Failure to do so can lead to a “falling putt” penalty stroke. Paradowski said he hopes players on the St. Francis ot Assisi Episcopal Church course learn the rules, but mostly he wants players to have fun.

On offense, block well. On defense, bend but don't break. It is easier said than done, but the Trojans have done it twice now. Thornapple Kellogg’s varsity football team improved to 2-0 with a 23-8 win over visiting Sparta Thursday. I told them before we came out, you’ve got an opportunity to do something a Middleville team hasn't done in a long time, go 2 and 0, and further more just win back-to-back football games,” said Thornapple Kellogg head coach Chad Ruger.. The Trojans hadn't started The defense was just swarming. We knew their quarterback loves to run the football. He tried to run it. They tried to pass too. They were able to move the football. When it came down to us need­ ing to get a stop, we got a stop.” 64 Chad Ruger, Thornapple Kellogg head coach 66 f < The Trojans' got their final two points on a safety later in the third quarter. For the second consecu­ tive week, the Trojan defense just missed a shut out - giving up a fourth quar­ ter touchdown. Quarterback Cam Cooper rushed in from six yards out then tacked on the two-point run as well. Cooper finished ll-of-23 passing for 92 yards, and rushed 11 times for 49 yards. “The defense was just swarming," Ruger said. “We knew their quarterback loves to run the football. He tried to run it.

When it came down to us needing to get a stop, we got a stop.” Tyler Karcher led the Trojan defense with six tack- offensive linemen. “We put an awful lot of pressure on them the last few weeks, and in the offseason. If this offense is going to work, they’ve got to win the line of scrimmage." Coley does an awesome job at quarterback, and our running backs to a nice job, but if it wasn’t for our offen­ sive line winning the line of scrimmage then they'd all just be scooting around in the backfield looking for holes. McKeough found .a big hole for a 40-yard touch­ down run in the opening quarter. VanPutten scored on a 25-yard run in the second quarter. McKeough finished off the offense's scoring with an 11-yard scoring run on the Trojans' second drive of the second half. McKeough only had to throw the ball twice, both completions to Aubil. a season 2-0 since 2004, and hadn't won back-to-back games since 2005. 59 The Trojan offensive line of Adrian Foster, Austin Koehl, Isaac Schipper, Korey Carpenter, Pete Westra, and tight end Jesse Aubil allowed the team2s backs to run for 288 yards on the night. Quarterback Coley McKeough finished with 14 rushes for 119 yards. Dylan VanPutten added 12 carries for 91 yards, and Jacob Bultema rushed seven times for 47 yards. I can't give them enough credit," Ruger said of his i les, and Aubil and Matt Raymond had four each, The Trojans go for a third consecutive victory, their first of the season on the road first of the season on a Friday night, and first of the season in the O-K Gold Conference when they head to Byron Center to face the South Christian Sailors Friday, Call anytime for Sun & News classified ads 269-945-9554 or 1-800-870-7985 Caledonia America's Workers 1 z ?- Have A Safe Labor Day! 2008 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX SWHH1 * -*** Certified^ nwan 2010 PONTIAC G-612010 CHEVY MALIBU LTZ|2007 CHEVY IMPALA CT 3.8 V-6, loaded, 56,000 miles, local trade-in. umd I •Ok. r fl ■ J Ccitifie< <■ ~ I * J Fi 6400 MILES!

Derek Hall, audi­ tor with the local finance division of the Michigan Department of Treasury, became the new auditor for the village. Hall began his report with the comments section. He emphasized that the village is in the same position as are many other communities of similar size, namely that the by Fran Faverman I same person is responsible for accepting revenues, bal­ ancing the accounts and dis­ bursing funds, activities that in a larger community would be performed by different individuals. According to Hall, some expenses such as legal fees were charged to the council; in reality they should be sep­ arate accounts. He noted that the state has a requirement specifying how items are to Staff Writer Two topics occupied the Caledonia Village Council during a lengthy meeting Monday, Sept. 13: the audit report and a resolution to set »!• rates for sewer service. Earlier this year, mounting dissatisfaction in the rela­ tionship with its longtime auditor led the council to seek quotes for auditing services and investigate the be charged to specific accounts. He added his goal as an auditor was to enable the village to become com­ pliant. “Accounts by activities,” he said. “will lead to increased segregation and more details.” The village also has not been depreciating its assets; the sewer fund should be charged depreciation every year, he said. The Main Street road project also need­ ed to allow for depreciation. Reducing the estimated life of the road from 50 years to a more realistic 20 years means the allowance for depreciation needs to be increased. He also noted that many events are beyond the control of the village, specifically the economy, decline in tax revenues, r_ssible loss of federal funds for streets, and the decline of revenue-shar­ ing dollars. “In this economy if you break even, I’m going to give you kudos,” Hall told the council. All things considered, in his view, the village is in good financial shape, and progress is being made on installing new systems to comply with requirements. See AUDIT, page 17 Thornapple Kellogg approves Thornapple Township hires one-year contract with both unions new, paid-on-call firefighter Middleton was giving his report while listening to his two-way radio about an accident at Peets Road and M-37. He left immediately to go to the fire station to be there when crews returned. Ross DeMaagd suggested that work begin on budget numbers at the quarterly meeting Oct. 6. Trustees will meet from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. Township Clerk Susan Vlietstra announced that new consolidation of the pension plan is providing cost savings for the town­ ship. A Civil War monument has been donated to the Parmalee Cemetery and will be installed next to the grave of Samuel Sturdevant whose name is on the monument.

One is on the west side of Hall Lake, one is at the boat launch at Chief •It Noonday Lake, one at Payne Creek and one at the old boat launch at the state park. This has been an eight­ year effort, said Middleton, adding that he believes these hydrants will definitely help the department. the and Middleton trustees also discussed the best way to educate resi­ dents on making sure their driveways and bridges at the entry to their homes are safe for firefighting equipment. Middleton will be working with Thornapple Township Supervisor Don Boysen on how to inform residents. He said he hopes to do this by fire prevention week in early October. by Patricia Johns Staff Writer The Thornapple Township board approved hiring Jeremy Hendley as a new paid-on-call firefighter and emergency medical technician. He will have his paramedic credentials once he takes and passes his written test. Dave Chief Fire Middleton told trustees Monday, Sept. 13, that Hendley had work experience with the Oakland Sheriff’s County Department before movin e» to Middleville. Middleton told the trustees that there have been 802 calls for the year with more than 100 in August. “It was a busy summer,” he said.

What this means is that TKEA employees will get a total raise this year of 1.15 percent, but only .5 percent will be added to the base salary to be carried forward to future years. TKEA employees also will have a higher deductible health insurance and higher prescription co-pay amounts. “This change in insurance will save the district more than 6 percent of total health insurance costs,” Director of Finance Chris Marcy told the board. The contract was approved by a vote of 5-2, with Kim Selleck and Tom Ward voting against the motion. Before the vote, Selleck told his fellow board mem­ bers, “I support the teaching staff, but we need to look at the structure of the contract. The health benefits we are offering are not sustainable. I would like to see this issue addressed before the next negotiations. The board also approved the 2010-11 agreement with Kellogg the Thornapple Education Support Personnel Association (TKESP).

For the TKESP members this is a one percent raise with only .5 percent added to base salary as well. TKESP members also will have higher deductible health insurance and the higher co-pay insurance card, again saving the district more than 6 percent of total health insurance costs. For both teaching and sup­ port personnel, the deductible amount for care by participat­ ing physicians goes from zero to a deductible of $100 for an individual or $200 for a family for physicians with­ in the network. In the phar­ macy area, co-pay costs stay at $10 for generic drugs. However, brand-name pre­ scription co-pay amount will go from $20 to $40 per brand-name prescription. The TKESP contract was approved by a vote of 6-1 with Ward voting no. Ward told his fellow board mem­ bers that he feared setting a precedent the district would not be able to continue.

They move here because of our quality of life, and I think the county commission has to find a way to preserve it.” Bremer told the council that even with the budget compromise which will fund some of the non-mandated programs up to 74 percent, there will be layoffs among county employees. In other business, the council approved spending $3,750 to repair the most hazardous sidewalks in the village as a cost-cutting measure for this year. In most recent years, the village has spent between $12,000 and $15,000 on sidewalks.

Sgt. Tony Stein told the council at its meeting Tuesday, Sept. 14, that sev­ eral volunteer officers have already asked when the candy check will be. The meeting began with a long explanation by Barry County Commissioner Michael Bremer of the work being done on the budget for the county. He explained the difference between mandat­ ed and non-mandated and not required expenditures. “I was one of the three who voted ‘no’ on the com­ promise which will fund non-mandated programs like ■ < •> It’s not to early to set your homecoming hair & nail appointment!

The council also approved paying assistant clerk Elaine Denton, who is doing the work of the finance director on an interim basis, an addi­ tional $2 per hour beginning Sept. 14. The council also agreed to extend disability to Russell Blough until Nov. 13. Acting Manager Geoff Moffat told council that the finance committee will dis­ cuss the budget for 2011 at its Sept. 22 meeting. He said he would like to have the council be able to discuss and look at the draft budget for two regular meetings before having to vote on it at the Dec. 14 council meeting. “You will need to discuss priorities,” Moffat told the council. Council approved direct deposit and online bank statements. Employees will able to be able to request direct deposit. •II The council decided to have the property committee discuss the tentative agree­ ment request by the American Hydrogeology Corporation on the easement near the former Crystal Flash (now Safeway) gas station and bring it back to the coun­ cil for action. Moffat explained that this has been an ongoing process to assess hydrocarbon pollu­ tion in the ground between the gas station and the prorHI sed location of the final testing well near the baseball field. The council approved the application by Girls on the Run for the Pumpkin Run Saturday, Oct. 16. This event will start near the Thomapple Kellogg Middle School and end on the new trails at the Rock property. Village Clerk Jean Lamoreaux discussed new event applications which are reviewed by TTES Chief Dave Middleton, Sgt. Stein and the public works director before they come to council. The Sept. 25 Caledonia Harvest Festival will include a Bike for Toys event to help raise donations for the annu­ al Caledonia food and toy drive. Registration is at 7:30 a.m. with the ride beginning at 8 a.m. for children through fifth grade. There is a fun ride for younger children and a two-mile ride for older kids.

In addition to the Bike for Toys, other activities during the Harvest Festival include a cruise-in, farmer's market, craft show, pancake break­ fast, petting zoo, Kids Zone with inflatables, petting zoo, fire department display, hay maze, pumpkin decorating and more. The Harvest Enrollment Fee (Regularly $149) Some restrictions apply One-Year Membership Required 2 4/Z A ccess Staff Writer Individuals, firms and organizations who want to host a special event within the village of the Middleville must now obtain a special­ event permit. This new pro­ gram, which has no fee, began in June. Applications must be filed with the village 90 days prior to the scheduled date of the special event. Village Clerk Jean Lamoreaux noted that it was important that the appli­ cations be submitted early enough so that they can be reviewed by Thornapple Township Emergency Services, the Middleville unit of the Barry County Sheriff s Department and the department of public works. Applications are then pre­ sented at a council meeting for approval. Applications can be picked up at the village office and, when returned, must include the date, time and description of the event, the number of anticipated participants and spectators, along with other details. Applicants also submit route maps for parades, intersec­ tions to be closed, if neces­ sary, parking and other requirements. Those planning events are reminded that if food or bev­ erages will be sold, organiz­ ers they will have to show approval from the BarryEaton District Health Department. The application further requires who is responsible for cleanup, if extra trash bins are required, and even if the group wants the village to create a press release for the event. According to Lamoreaux, the application allows village officials, the police and Thornapple Township Emergency Services to know when and where events are planned in the village. “We can talk to each other and are ready for events,” she said. Lamoreaux encouraged anyone planning an event within the village to stop in and pick up an application.

He also said that as part of the Finkbeiner/Crane Road project, the intersection of Grand Rapids Street and Crane Road will have to be closed for about two and a half days. The village and the contractors are looking at a Friday afternoon through Sunday for this closing, but no date has been selected yet. Moffat said he believes the date will be announced next by the meeting. Businesses, churches and residents in the area will be informed.

She hung out at the Middleville United Methodist Church after the parade with her children, grand children and great­ grandchildren.” French praised the spirit of Middleville which prevailed so that even those walking or riding in the parade who were wet through their clothes, did not complain. “Most everyone enjoyed themselves,” she said. While the pouring rain, which started right as the parade set off, meant that the Thornapple Kellogg High School Band could not per­ form, New Orleans jazz music flowed from the Big Easy float, courtesy of the Dominic Bieringa jazz sex­ tet. Some of those who had signed up for the craft show #fen Al Once the rains came only 14 cars were on display during Heritage Day on Sept. 11.

Judy Hendrickson invites those looking for books to visit the book sale room at the Thornapple Kellogg School and Community Library or stop by to the Rotary Club spaghetti dinner Friday, Oct. 15. The Beacon Society will have an indoor 7 book sale that night. Several cars left before the car show was over. “We had 14 stay and everyone was rewarded with door prizes and a piece of pie,” said French, adding that the dessert were from the pie contest. Quinn Dykstra, 7, won in the custard division with her pumpkin pecan pie. Anna Ramey, 9, won for her apple pie in the fruit division. OB’ ttaisji MI i Only 5 pies were entered in the 2010 Heritage Day pie contest. Three bakers did go home with $20 gift certificates for winning. i Winning the Three Brothers Heritage Day pizza eating contest was Chris Streb on left with runner up Chris Ochoa on right just 2 ounces behind. Dawn Meyering, prevailed in the “other” division for her rum custard brownie pie. Each of the winners received a $20 gift card. French said she hopes to get many more pies in next year's contest. Three Brothers Pizza held its annual pizza-eating con­ test and crowned a three­ time winner, Chris Streb. According to French run­ ner-up Chris Ochoa gave Streb a “run tor his money money ” with only a 2.5-ounce differ­ ence in the one piece each had left. Ochoa issued Streb a challenge and said, “I will be hack next year.” The Bluezcats performed on the Main Street stage despite the weather. DJ Steve Morgan of Alto played patriotic tunes during the parade and entertained the crowd with some music starting at 9 a.m. Winners from the Rotary Duck Race were Jon Washburn in first place, win­ ning $200; Joan Hefflebower, second place, $100; and Ginger Friddle, third place, winning $50. The Lions Club is extend­ ing the bicycle raffle until its chili cook-off in October. Tickets are available at The Scoop or from Lions Club members.

Jessica Kohn, manager of the bank branch office, explained that the new sign was needed as part of the bank's rebranding process and for competitive reasons. The current sign is farther back from the road than signs of its competitors, and people have trouble finding the bank, she said.

INSURANCE Staff Writer Kathy Bailey, art teacher at Lee and Page elementary schools in the Thornapple Kellogg school district, is excited to see work by her students be part of ArtPrize in Grand Rapids this year. “I think we had more than 35 different students includ­ ing second graders to even a few sixth graders at West Michigan Piano this past Saturday,” she said. “We had a great turn out for such short notice.” This was part of the A “Street Pianos — Play Me, I'm Yours” project for this year's Art Prize. Street Pianos is a program organ­ ized by artist, Luke Jerram of England. “This program is like the cow parade which was in Chicago several years ago where various artist decorat­ ed a cow,” she said. “The j cows were then put on dis3 play all over the streets of Chicago.

As of Sept. 15, Bailey said she did not know where the pianos painted by the •It Thomapple Kellogg students would be placed, but said she hopes to be able to post this information in the schools shortly. “Being invited to be a part of ArtPrize is a once-in-alifetime event,” ’’she said adding that the interactive pianos concept fits perfectly with the nature of kids. “Of course we jumped at the opportunity to participate.” Students were given the opportunity to paint two pianos. One is a “Blues Dog rothers Theme” and second has a fall theme. All pianos used for the project were donated by area residents, businesses and schools. Each piano will be outfitted with a custom cover to protect it from the weather. The pianos painted by TK students do •• have “Thomapple Kellogg painted on them. The pianos have been tuned and will receive one more tuning once they are placed on the streets. Once ArtPrize is finished, the painted pianos will be donat­ ed to area schools and other places of need. Anyone interested in vot­ ing for “Street Pianos — Play Me, I'm Yours” should regis­ ter online at www.artprize.org and then vote at the ArtPrize event. The second annual ArtPrize runs from Sept. 22 to Oct. 10. Information about the venues and exhibits can be found at the ArtPrize website. The artist receiving the most votes will be award­ ed $250,000. If “Play Me, I'm Yours wins an ArtPrize award, the funds will be used to deliver artwork to Mumbai, India.

They unani­ mously recommended that the approve village council amending the village’s zoning ordinance to regulate the location and operation of businesses distributing med­ ical marijuana. Such businesses were legalized by voters approving a legislative initiative on the ballot in the November 2008 election. Village Attorney Mark Van Allsburg explained that two approaches tended to be taken by communities; one, he said, was to create businesses or to allow medical marijuana as a home occupation. Given that the village does not have a full-time police force, he rec­ ommended using licensure as the means of regulation, an approach similar to how the sale of alcoholic beverages is regulated by licensure. In this case, the licensing agency would be the village, not the state. Commissioner Gayle Ott thought that electronic sur­ veillance should be extended to the exterior of the building. Van Allsburg said that elec­ tronic surveillance require­ ments would have to be very specific. Mark Sisson, village plan­ ning consultant, said the con­ cern was prevention. Bill Commissioner Robertson suggested motion detectors that would light up the interior so that any observers would know some­ thing is happening. Van Allsburg responded that a locked facility is required for the plants. Chris Clark, chair of the panning commission, com­ mented, “I think what we have is specific enough." Commissioner Brian Hicks moved to recommend to the Village of Caledonia Council to approve amending the Ordinance Zoning of Caledonia to regulate medical marijuana. The motion was approved unanimously. The ordinance does not apply to persons growing marijuana in their own homes for their personal use for a medical condition permitted in the law. However, such persons must be qualified, registered patients with a cer­ tificate from the state. The ordinance specifically bans the cultivation of med­ ical marijuana as a home occupation and is very detailed. Additional require­ ments for site plan review of the sale or consumption of any form of alcoholic bever­ ages or other controlled sub­ •II stances on any portion of the premises, including walkways and parking areas, at least one manager who is a registered primary caregiver must be on duty at all times. Smoking marijuana on the premises also is prohibited. In addition to complying with the site plan review, admission of persons and interior and exterior structural requirements, the business also requires a license issued by the village. The application for a license, made to the zoning administrator, requires full details of the business’ specify a distance of 200 feet from any place of worship, public library, school, resi­ dence, park, playground, licensed day care facility or a recreational or residential zoning district. Signs cannot feature a picture or any other representation of a marijuana product on the exterior of the building. Specifications are included for interior and exte­ rior lighting. Areas devoted to the cultivation of marijuana must be identified on the floor plan, along with the total square footage devoted to cul­ tivation. Conditions requiring the planning commission to reject the application are specified: An applicant is under 21 years of age, owes the village money for fines or penalties previously imposed in rela­ tion to a medical marijuana business, has submitted an application lacking required information or has been con­ victed within the past 10 years of the possession, sale, or dis­ tribution of a controlled sub­ stance in any jurisdiction. Once the business is open, no person under the age of 21 who is not a registered, quali­ fied patient may be on the premises. A registered, quali­ fied patient who is under the age of 21 may enter when accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. An attendant must be stationed at the entrance to the business to prohibit the entry of persons under the age of 21 who do not meet the requirements outlined. The business may operate from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. No open alcohol is permitted in any public area of the busi- I ness during operating hours. Exterior structural require­ ments also apply. Activities of the business or the merchan­ dise cannot be visible from the exterior of the building, Flashing lights, words, letters, drawings, silhouettes, or picto­ rial representations of any kind are prohibited. The exterior of the building must be painted in one neutral color. Interior structural require­ ments mandate an unobstruct­ ed view of every area of the premises to which any patrol is permitted access for any purpose, excluding restrooms. The area used for the cultiva­ tion of plants may be no greater than that reasonably required to permit the cultiva­ tion of no more than 60 indi­ vidual marijuana plants. The ‘ i area must be cultivation locked and inaccessible to the general public. The premises also must be equipped with 24-hour electronic video surveillance equipment to deter and detect unlawful theft of marijuana from the facility. Standards of conduct are included in the ordinance, as well. Beyond the prohibition A license may be revoked if a cause of suspension occurs twice within a 12month period. Grounds for revocation are the existence of occasions of misconduct on the premises by employees or patrons; misconduct may involve violations of village ordinances, state laws or fed­ eral laws and the licensee knew or should have known the conduct was occurring. A second cause is repeated dis­ turbances of the public peace within the business, or its parking areas, sidewalks, other access ways, or grounds by employees, patrons or the licensee. A revocation shall last for organization. The license application also must include information about other med­ ical marijuana licenses held in other jurisdiction and any vio­ lations that may have occurred in other jurisdic­ tions. Out-of-state applicants must provide evidence of standing to do business in Michigan. If the property is not owned by the licensee, a copy of the lease must be sup­ plied. Licenses are to be issued for one year, which begins Jan. 1; however, a license issued March 1 would expire Dec. 31 of the year in which it is issued. Fees will not be pro­ rated for a partial year. one year, and another license cannot be issued until one year has passed from the date the revocation became effec­ tive. Should the zoning administrator determine that the basis for the revocation has been corrected or abated; a license may be reinstated after more than 90 days have elapsed since the revocation became effective. The ordinance also con­ tains a severability clause; should any part of the ordi­ nance be deemed unconstitu­ tional, the remainder of the ordinance is unaffected and remains in force.

When you began your career, you had to concentrate on your work. In fact, in just about every •It endeavor in life, concentra­ tion is essential for success. However, as an investor, you may find that you actually don’t want to concentrate too much. That’s not to say you shouldn’t concentrate on your investment decisions — you should. But if you concen­ trate too much money in one investment, or one type of investment, you could run into problems. Suppose, for example, that your portfolio is almost entirely devoted to growth stocks. During a good econo­ my, growth stocks generally tend to do well, so if we’re enjoying a period of sustained growth, your portfolio might show some good returns. But if the economy slumps while you own only growth stocks, you could sustain losses that may take a long time from which to recover. On the other hand, if you over-con­ centrate on fixed-income investments, such as bonds, your principal value might increase when interest rates are falling (as interest rates and bond prices are inversely related), but when interest rates rise, your bond portfolio •It will likely lose principal value. To help avoid the problems of over-concentration, it’s important to own a range of investments, which may include stocks, bonds, gov­ ernment securities and certifi­ cates of deposit (CDs). While this type of diversification cannot, by itself, guarantee a profit or protect against loss, it can help reduce the effects of volatility on your portfolio. Of course, how you choose to allocate your assets will depend on a variety of fac­ tors, including the following: • Your goals — Your ulti­ mate objectives should help govern your investment strat­ egy. If you are planning to retire early and then start a new business, you may need to invest more aggressively than, say, your neighbor, who wants to work as long as pos­ sible and then stay close to home, pursuing inexpensive hobbies. • Your risk tolerance — Just as we all have different personalities, we have differ­ ent tolerances for investment risk. If you can assume greater risk in exchange for potentially higher returns, you may be a more aggres­ sive investor. Conversely, if you’re willing to take lower returns as a trade-off for greater protection of your principal, you’re probably a more conservative investor. However, to achieve your goals, you may consider moving outside your invest­ ment “comfort zone” from time to time. • Your time horizon — Your stage of life will also affect your investment choic­ es. If you are just starting your career, you can probably afford to invest more aggres­ sively than if you are nearing retirement, at which time you may want to cut down on risks. To build a diversified portfolio that reflects your goals, risk tolerance and time hori­ zon, you may want to work with a professional financial advisor — someone who can assess your situation and rec­ ommend choices that are appropriate for your needs. By concentrating on a unified investment strategy — instead of over-concentrating on a specific type of investment — you can focus on where you want to go and what you need to do to get there.

The board approved unan­ •It imously the idea to obtain estimates for surveillance equipment and fencing for the township’s recycling area. Supervisor Al McCrumb brought up recycling in the context of cooperation with neighboring communities, saying he would like to find a way to work with other town­ ships on recycling. Recycling in the township is becoming a major concern because the costs to the town­ ship are running about $1,800 to $2,000 a month. A second issue is abuse. On the Tuesday following Labor •II Day, the township hall parking lot was the scene of trash and recy­ cling materials. McCrumb said he had ended up taking a tele­ vision monitor to Goodwill. To date, the only measure taken by the township is to search through the material for identifying materials and write letters to the offenders indicating that the recycling bin is for the benefit of Yankee Springs residents and taxpayers. According to A V • '55!#^ Zoning Administrator Robert Lippert the response to the •Il letters has been amicable. Township Treasurer John Jerkatis observed that he has consistently recommended the use of video surveillance cameras to monitor the recy­ cling bin. He said he gets pos­ itive comments about the recycling services offered by the township. "Why deprive Yankee Springs township [residents] of a service they enjoy because of a few who abuse it?" he asked. The board has considered doing a township wide curb­ side recycling service. The sticking point has been the •II refusal of companies to do the recycling unless they also had the rights to hauling off trash •II and yard waste. The board has refused to agree to tying residents to one trash hauler. "We are at a crossroads here," said Trustee Mary Cook, whose concern is deal­ ing with one hauler or with several. The suggestion was made to fence the recycling area and hire someone to work eight hours on two Saturdays a month to check identifica­ tion such as a tax bill/receipt or voter registration card before allowing someone into the fenced area. Jerkatis said the savings would pay off in three months. Lippert sup­ ported the idea saying that he •II. thought Cook and Jerkatis were "right on line." Clerk Janice Lippert made the motion to approve obtain­ ing estimates for surveillance equipment and fencing for the recycling area. Jerkatis sup­ ported the motion and it passed unanimously. Moving on to the open-fire ordinance, proposed original­ ly by Dave Middleton, fire of director and chief Township Thomapple Services, Emergency that said McCrumb Middleton has indicated he will not accept the current regulations promulgated by the Michigan Department of and Resources Natural Environment (MDNRE). J. Lippert added that the township currently has no ordinance on open-fires. "We should at least get something on our ordinance to allow Dave Middleton to enforce, but do so before snowbirds are gone or get it ready for spring,” McCrumb said. At press time, a subcom­ mittee of the township Planning Commission that will include board members, •II planning commissioners and members of the general pub­ lie is being formed.

The discussion about the McKenna billing also reflect­ ed the continuing tension between the board and the Commission. Planning McCrumb said he feels that R.

Lippert responded that it is not only familiarity with the Yankee Springs ordinances that matters, it is also important to know how other communities have dealt with similar issues.

The motion passed, 5-2, with Erskine and Trustee Karen Hahn dissent­ ing. Robertson said he was there to inform the village that the township would be removing microphones and cameras to its new location. Gilbert asked Robertson how much the township gets from village residents. His question reflects what has become a sore point with the council; while village residents pay the public safety millage, they also pay a por­ tion of property taxes to the township. Jill Harrison has consistently pointed out that no township dollars are spent in the village.) Robertson responded that the township pays for the library, parks and taxing and assessing functions. “Meetings aren't going to be recorded soon because the equipment is going down the road,” said Erskine. Sandra Ayers, village manager and clerk, commented that the village could buy its own equipment. Moving on to routine busi­ ness, Galdes reported that the flow meter had been installed and Infrastructure Alternatives had downdown­ loaded the first two weeks of data. He said there had been a spike in the flow rate after a rain storm. Flows at the plant need to be done, and he said he hopes to have enough data after this week. Responding to a com­ plaint from a resident on Johnson Street, Galdes said that while there was ponding on the resident’s property, the source does not appear to be a neighboring property, rather a bam on the com­ plainant’s property. Williamson, delivering his president's report, said, “I have two meetings left. Most of you know I am not running again. I have enjoyed the last six years. It has been a wonderful ride.” Ayers reported that they had received quotes from West Shore Services for updates to the existing siren •H on itop of the department of public works building at 230 Maple St. While the quotes were for $950 to install a wide-band controller on the siren and $1,680 for a nar­ row-band receiver required in 2013, she said the ques­ tion was not about money but about value and how effective a siren would be and who could hear it. The council voted unanimously to disapprove investment in the old siren. Ayers also reported a Caledonia harvest festival, billed as “Bike for Toys,” is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 25. The bike route will begin at the new library, travel across the post office drive, go behind D&W Fresh Market, across the bridge and stay on pavement. It will continue on North Street, turn on Elm Street, and fol­ low to Emmons Street. From Emmons to the old library for water, if needed; then Church Street to Oak Street to Pleasant Street; turn on North, staying on the pave­ ment, and cross the bridge back from Dobber-Wenger, ending at the new library. The Independence Day Committee met Aug. 16. Hahn reported that only the invoice for security had yet to come in. Several ideas for next year are being consid­ ered. Chief among them is a mid-day break after the parade with a late afternoon resumption of activities leading up to the fireworks. Also being considered is moving the activities back to _the downtown village area. The next meeting of the commit­ tee will be Monday, Sept. 20, at 6 p.m. at the village hall, 250 Maple St. The council also approved the appointment of Bryan Harrison and Jim Blehm as co-chairs of the Day Independence Committee, and approved appointments to village committees, public relations —2 liaisons and various other offices and functions. During the final council comment period before adjournment, Erskine noted that Scoutmaster Eric Nietling had informed him the project to clean the area around the bridge into the Caledonia Centre will take place Saturday, Oct. 9. He also noted the proliferation of garage sale signs and reminded the audience that they need to be removed. Trustee Sharon Mortensen said that the plants this year were beautiful. Ayers said Greenhouse, Creekside Roger Loring, and a parttime employee were respon­ sible for the improvement. The next village council meeting will be Monday, Oct. 11, at 7 p.m. at the village hall. o J O U1 -&■ U1 ro /When times are tough, we make things easier That's why we recommend Grange - a company that makes things easy when times are tough. 96% of Grange policyholders who filed a claim would recommend Grange to family and friends.

It was a great night for the Trojans though too. Erin Ellinger from the Thornapple Kellogg varsity volleyball team was able to present Mike McLellen with $240 raised at this summer's Mary McLellen memorial 3on-3 volleyball tournament, and there will be another presentation once the funds are tallied from the pink shirts sold during the Trojans’ and Cougars’ Pink Out Night in Middleville. Ellinger organized the 3on-3 event, and did much of the work in planning the Pink Out Night. “She was an awesome teacher, who influenced me in so many ways,” Ellinger said of McLellen, who died of breast cancer in February. “I wanted to do something special for her.” There were pink head bands, pink socks, and plenty of pink T-shirts in the gym. The Trojan varsity players wore black shirts with pink lettering and the Cougars pink shirts with white letter­ ing as they warmed up for the contest, which Catholic Central won in four games 25-15, 25-23, 17-25, 25-15. The Trojans would have liked to have pulled out the win. but even in defeat were very pleased with their play in their second O-K Gold Conference match of the sea­ son. “I thought we did really good,” Ellinger said. “We had a lot of good hitting and good things. We have to work on our serve and serve receive, but everyone clicked really well and played their roles really well.” Ellinger had a team-high 18 digs as well as six kills and two blocks. Alyssa Weesie led TK in kills with eight, and Hana Hunt and Sydney LeMay had five each. “I thought tonight was a good night,” said TK head coach Stacey Woodall. “In the last game apparently we didn't know how to serve receive, but overall we put a lot of things together we nor­ mally don't. We were hitting the ball better than we have in my three years here, since I’ve existed in Middleville.” Ellinger, Weesie, and Hunt were strong at the net, as was freshman middle Sydney LeMay who was playing in her first extended action for the varsity. The stat sheet said she had two blocks, but Woodall was sure it was has in years on Pink Out Night more. Hunt had five blocks I for TK, and also added nine digs. After a convincing Cougar win in game one, the Trojans came out and played some of their best volleyball of the »* » evening to start the second r game. They raced out to a 91 lead. Catholic Central picked up its play though, and battled back to tie the game at 11-11.

Caledonia is undefeated in three games in the O-K Gold Conference. While the two wins to open the season were nice, the one tie the Scots earned wasn't bad either. Caledonia tied Division 3’s top ranked South team, Christian, Thursday to move to 2-0-1 in the league. Both teams had to come from behind. The Sailors had to rally in the second half, after the Scots took a 2-1 lead into the break. Blake Devries put the Sailors in front 1-0 in the first half, but the Scots answered with goals by Jacob Wunderink and Jordan Veneman. And rally the Sailors did. Drew Lockwood and Sean Broekhuizen scored for the Sailors to put their team back in front 3-2. Henry Spees would tie the game up for Caledonia, scor­ ing off an assist from Phil Brown. Luke Bestrom also had an assist in the contest for the Scots. Joe Fifer made nine saves in net for Caledonia. Sprawled out head first into his own net, Hastings’ goalkeeper Kevin Bosma slammed both of his fists t I the ground on Tuesday. Caledonia scored a 1-0 win at Hastings in oaum Stadium at Johnson Field Tuesday evening. The Fighting Scots' lone goal came on a set play with 19 minutes 4 seconds remaining in the contest. “I don't even know how it got through," said Hastings head coach Ben Conklin. “I 1 thought he had it. It just popped back out of his hands and rolled in. One of those unlucky bounces.” A handball just outside the 18-yard line gave the Scots the opportunity.

You stuff a play. And before you know it, they tear off a big run.” The Hastings varsity football team had 349 yards of total offense Friday night in Baum Stadium at Johnson Field. Nearly two-thirds of that came on three touchdown Alex runs by fullback Randall, who had scoring runs of 76, 60 and 92 yards in the host Saxons’ 32-14 win over the Fighting Scots. Hastings had dropped seven consecutive ball games against the Fighting Scots, a streak going back to 2001, and improves to 4-0 overall and 2-0 in the O-K Gold Conference with the win.

The Cougars answered with one of a few big plays -• . _• • that they managed, a 90-yard TD pass from Morrissey to Hill and later tied the game at 28 on a four-yard TD run by Hill. “They had a few big plays,” Ruger said. “They threw the ball pretty well, They had receivers that went up and got it. They're talented. Our defense was amazing at stopping their run, and they had to go to the air, and when you have to go to the air things can happen.” Things like McKeough's interception with about 30 seconds left, or the Trojan interceptions by Jacob _ Bultema and Korey Carpenter. Jacob McCarty led the TK defense with five tackles. while Bultema and Tre Mahon had four each. The Trojan offense got 115 yards on 23 rushes from Dylan VanPutten, 45 yards on _ nine rushes from Cody Ybema. and Bobolts had a team-high four catches for 30 yards.

This leaning electric pole near the Metaldyne building on State Street was surrounded by warning cones. (Photo by Patricia Johns) is the district's first concern. “Early Childhood Special Ed and pre-school afternoon classes were the only classes canceled on Tuesday. Information was put on the www.tkschools.org web­ site about the closing. Rider said, “Students and staff followed our proce­ dures to the letter and all. reports I received said that everything went very well. TK staff members did a great job of chipping in to make sure our kids felt safe and comfortable during the entire time.” Rider explained that the decision to conduct classes at Thornapple Kellogg was made after he tracked the forecast for severe weather looking at the National Weather Service's forecast for Middleville. At 5:15 a.m. Tuesday, 26 Transportation Oct. Director Matt Funk let Rider know that a tornado watch had just been issued by the National Weather Service . Rider checked this infor­ mation and also double checked board policy and administrative guidelines in regard to procedures for severe weather. Thornapple Kellogg con­ tacted all of the districts that border it. During those con­ tacts TK learned that it was the plan of all of those dis­ tricts to conduct classes. Of the twenty-one districts in the Kent Intermediate School District six chose to close. Rider said, “These deci­ sions are never easy ones. 1 I t See STORMS, pg. 19 Thornapple Township road four write-in candidates on millage on Nov. 2 ballot Caledonia Village Council ballot * by Patricia Johns Staff Writer Thornapple Tuesday, Township residents will be asked to approve a millage request for maintenance and improvement of roads in the township. Residents in all three precincts will vote on the measure, including those in the village of Middleville. The issue before the vot­ ers will be a .05 mill for three years. If approved, the millage would generate $350,000 approximately over the three years. The money would be dedicated to township roads, based on the Barry County Road Commission's recommen­ dation for maintenance. “Over the years, as the needs for the minimum maintenance of our roads has increased, we have experienced a shortfall of funds to keep up,” said Township Thornapple Supervisor Don Boysen. Each year, he said, the road commission furnishes the township with a report on the condition of paved roads. The report is used to determine priority for road maintenance and repairs and also provides a history of the roads and what needs to be done. “The board then looks at expected revenues and authorizes what work we can realistically fund. Then the road commission sched­ ules the work," said Boysen. Michigan townships do not have a legal obligation to fund road maintenance or improvements; that is the obligation of county road commissions. “The Barry County Road Commission has indicated that, due to insufficient gas and weight taxes, it cannot keep up with the needs and costs,” said Boysen. Historically, when the road commission improves township roads, they have split the cost of the project with individual townships. The road commission pro­ vides all the engineering, labor and application costs, with the township supplying the cost of materials. Thornapple Township also provides funding for new gravel each year, and dust control for the more than 20 miles of gravel roads. According to Boysen, townships in Barry County appropriate more than $1.5 million each year to help improve the roads. Hope, Johnson, Maple Grove. Orangeville, Prairieville and Woodland townships have extra voted millage for roads. Boysen said that the aver­ age home in Thornapple Township has a taxable value of $60,000. The half-mill would cost $30 annually, which is 50 cents for each $1,000 of value. Boysen reminded voters that the road millage ques­ tion will be found on the reverse of the Thornapple Township ballot. by Fran Faverman Staff Writer Residents of the village of who Caledonia vote Tuesday, Nov. 2, will face an unusual challenge. And resi­ dents who have already voted by absentee ballot may be in a quandary. The only candidate for the position of trustee who is on the official ballot is Danise Regan who filed the neces­ sary paperwork by the Aug. 12 deadline. She is currently a village trustee. Four people filed declarations of intent to run as write-in candidates by the 4 p.m. deadline Friday, Oct. 22, for the position of trustee on the village coun­ cil: Edward L. Fowler, Todd Grinage, Timothy Overholt, and Gary Scholl. Regan was appointed to fill the seat vacated when Trustee Terence Mulvihill resigned in August. She is a practicing certified public accountant who has served as village treasurer and as a member of the planning commission. Fowler is retired after sev­ eral years in heavy construc­ tion. such as pipelines and roads. Grinage is an engineering technician and has experi­ ence supervising construc­ tion projects. Overholt is an attorney with management experi­ ence. Scholl is an electrical engineer with business man­ agement experience. Voters may choose any three candidates. The three highest vote-getters will be sworn into office in November. Casting a write-in vote correctly presents some chal­ lenges.

Dale Vandenberg, a mem­ ber of the Martin group, asked. “What is your defini­ tion of a business?” He said he views a busi­ ness as a profit-making entity and said that he does not see a nonprofit group as a busi­ ness. Greg Milliken, planning consultant to the township, said that absence of a provi­ sion for charitable groups was a weakness in the ordi­ nance. TenCate said that Robert Lippert had raised the issue of creating an adminis­ trative procedure for such groups at the very next meet­ ing of the commission. The discussion of portable businesses such as a fanners' market continued. Various locations were considered: The Yankee Springs town­ ship park, the fire station on Payne Lake Road, the lot fronting on the Gun Lake Community Church, and the lot behind the Chemical Bank branch on which stands the Yankee Springs waler tower. Commissioners Cathy Strickland and Patrick Jansens agreed to investigate the feasibility of the loca­ tions. The commission agreed that an administrative proce­ dure for permits for charita­ ble businesses was needed. Robert Lippert said that the organizations would need to comply with setbacks and possibly provide liability insurance to cover untoward events on site. He will draft language for the commission to review at its next meeting. Moving into what he described as “workshop mode,” Fiala took up the pro­ posed revisions to the gravel mining ordinance; many of the amendments are substan­ tive and provide for a more rigorous oversight of mining operations than does the cur­ rent ordinance. Major changes to the existing ordi­ nance occur in the following areas: Mapping; reporting by outside licensed or otherwise certified professionals; set­ back requirements; green­ belt, landscaping, and berm requirements; environmental issues such as pollution, dust, truck traffic, and noise; reclamation plans, including acceptable fill material and site grading; description of future land uses; compliance inspections by the township zoning administrator; per­ formance guarantees set by township engineer and reviewed by township attor­ ney before approval by township board; compliance with all applicable state and federal regulations. No formal action was taken on the proposed ordi­ nance. other In business, Commissioner Al Schwennesen, who is the board liaison to the commis­ sion. reported that the board had been informed of a com­ plaint alleging an accessory structure was being used as a residence. Upon investiga- . lion no residential use was discovered. Robert Lippert, zoning administrator, reported he had compiled a written report on the status of com­ plaints and that the Gun Lake Residential Waterfront Zoning District Ordinance was being published follow­ ing its adoption by the town­ ship board at its Oct. 14 meeting. He also said that Supervisor Al McCrumb, the state Federal Emergency Management Agency repre­ sentative, and he had met; they learned that because of the number of letters of map amendment being issued to Gun Lake residents, special discounts were possible on flood insurance for those who need to buy it. The next regularly sched­ uled meeting of the commis­ sion will be held at 7 p.m, Thursday, Nov. 17, in the Yankee Springs township hall. 284 N.

According According to to Township Supervisor Bryani Harrison the estimate for repairs is $5,750, and Welton is looking for help from the township or the county. A letter from the Kent County Drain Commission suggests most of the problem is caused by Welton's agricultural activities, assuming that the Jasonville Farms drainage system is functioning proper- - ‘ iy- kb S3 1 «cx ?fcx ■ ■^i; £2$ 2^ 2fe ‘I'*#. k*i" J.'.UI - mt pi ft itnatoltoftl itawawa!

Greg Zoller, trustee. recommended going to the Kent County Drain Commissioner, William Byl. Harrison said the area is really a watershed; the towntown­ ship would have to request a drainage district which the commission would have to approve. Welton's participation would be at the level of 60 percent of the cost. Trustee Don Koopmans said that the problem did not exist before Jasonville Farms was built. He said, “Islands are forming in the river due to mud filling in the river. I don't think it is Welton's problem, ‘ ‘ ! The Planning Commission has been asking for more riprap and for larger ponds. He said water comes off the asphalt and enters a narrow channel which increases its velocity considerably.

The choice is, basically, how do we take the best of the church's treasures and offer them to God in worship. There are incredible songs and sounds that we’ve inher­ ited from the church past, and excellent expressions of worship are being created right here and now. That’s a good thing" Peace Church has a repu­ tation in the community for its focus on ministry with children and youth.

As an adult, of course, you’re unlikely to encounter too many monsters after Halloween ends. Yet as you go through life, you will find some things that are truly alarming — such as scary investment moves. Here are a few of these frightful actions: • Investing too conserva­ tively — You could try to avoid investment risk by put­ ting all your money into very conservative investments. However, as you're probably aware, those investments typ­ ically pay very little in the way of interest, so your money could actually lose purchasing power, even with a mild rate of inflation. • Investing too aggressive­ ly — Just as investing t •It conservatively can be coun­ terproductive, so can invest­ ing too aggressively. Obviously, you would like Al your money to grow, but the investments with the highest growth potential are usually also those that carry the greatest risk to your princi­ pal. .......... • Putting too much money 6 ii s * a SJ-. k 1IN 1 .'V • <I' wpiijeas ft!®!® ikarfkta >'l!i Jr3’ a, V ’ All IIP i 3 Ar j r ,4 V' fll in too few investments — If you put too many of your investment dollars into just one or two types of assets, and a downturn hits those assets, your portfolio will probably take a big hit. • Waiting too long to invest — As an investor, your biggest asset may be time. The more years in which you have to invest, the greater the likelihood that you can make progress toward your im| rtant financial goals. • Taking a “timeout" from investing — During periods •3 of significant market volatili­ ty, such as we’ve seen the past few years, you might be tempted to take a “timeout" from investing and stick all your money into very conser­ vative vehicles until every­ thing “blows over." But the financial markets will never be totally calm, nor will they be predictable. Market rallies can start unexpectedly; if you’re not invested when that happens, you may miss out on growth opportunities. • Ignoring tax-advantaged investment opportunities — When you invest in a taxdeferred investment account, such as your 401 (k) and a tra­ ditional IRA, your money has the opportunity to grow faster than it would if it were placed in an investment on which you paid taxes every year. If you aren’t contribut- ing to your 401(k) and you haven’t opened an IRA. you’re missing out on a great chance to build resources for retirement. To make sure you don’t fall victim to these scary investment moves, you need only follow a few simple principles. First, take the long view — you will see ups and downs in the short term, but historically the market has performed well over the long term. (Keep in mind, though, that past perform­ ance is not guarantee of what will happen in the future.) Second, diversify your hold­ •ings among a variety of investments. Diversification, by itself, cannot guarantee a profit or protect against loss, but it can help reduce the effects of volatility. Try to build a diversified portfolio based on your risk tolerance, time horizon and long-term goals. And finally, consider boosting your 401(k) contri­ butions whenever your salary increases and fully funding your IRA each year. Halloween comes but once a year, but scary investment moves can haunt you for a lifetime — so take the right steps to help avoid them.

Bringin, them back will require a radically new way of doing things. “The first step is recognizing•’a that Michigan cannot be fixed. Fixing implies that the overall model is good and just needs a few adjustments. The truth is the old model doesn’t work anymore. Michigan needs to be reinvented. 64 We do this by repealing the job-killing Michigan Business Tax and replacing it with a flat. 6 percent corporate income tax that is simple, fair and easy to understand, This will make Michigan one of the most competitive places in the nation to do business. Small businesses in particular will benefit under this plan since they will be exempted from the 1.8 percent alternative profits tax and will see their tax rate drop to zero. 64 Next, we need to make government more efficient by implementing “value for 99 money" budgeting. The way it works now, the state looks at how much money was spent last year, adds a little bit on for inflation and calls it good nowhere in the process does anyone stop and ask if taxpayers are getting results for the money being spent. That’s wrong. We need to stop funding programs that aren’t working and put more resources behind those that are. 66 The Pure Michigan marketing campaign is a perfect example of what I am talking about. In addition to helping boost the tourism industry and create jobs, it brings in more than $2 of tax revenue for every $1 we spend. But due to the failure to prioritize spending, this successful pro­ gram was cut. “We also need to reduce regulations.

In the early 1970s, I was a resident of Barry County, The Libertarian Party is America’s third largest | litical party. We believe in a limited, Constitutional government, greatly reduced taxes and the personal freedom to run your life as you see fit. “More people are realizing that this election is really a choice between ‘business as usual' special interests, and Libertarian candidates like me, who know that people and businesses of this state need a smaller, less intrusive government and more freedom in order to prosper, 44 “As governor of Michigan, I would work to change the direction of Michigan from being a state with too many t job-killing regulations and too many taxes, to a state where people find the freedom to live, work and prosper. I believe that elected officials should be good stewards of the taxpayers' money and that every state department and agency should have their budgets posted online for all to see. “The resources of the peopie of this state, and of this country for that matter, are the real engine and lifeblood of our economy. When those resources are diverted away from our economy to support a corrupt, wasteful and bloated government, our economy suffers. When enough of those resources are diverted to be consumed by government. our economy collapses. “Michigan faces a budget deficit next year of over $l billion. I will address that deficit by first eliminating corporate welfare. Before we cut any services to individuals and families, we need toelim­ inate corporate welfare. “I believe our state can be turned around. I believe that if people and businesses in Michigan can keep more of their own resources and have more freedom from a smaller, less intrusive governments at local, county and state levels, we can once again experience a thriving economy and greater prosperity than we have ever had. “I also believe that neither the Democrats nor the Republicans will change their self-serving ways and lead us toward an economic recovery. “This November, the real choice is between the ‘business as usual’ Democrats and Republicans, or the freedom and prosperity that Libertarian candidates like myself want to bring to 99 Michigan. www.lwpm.org/KenProcto r/ ll V Cm u< Conversations J free with Dr. T to the public I I ...

We need to drastically reduce the size of our state government. Only when we can get the government off our backs will we see growth, innovation and American pride. We need to assert our sovereignty under the 10th Amendment and hold those accountable who voted for Obama Care. Repealing the smoking law, drivers responsibility fee and helmet law are just among the few things I would like to see repealed. Just by eliminating the Michigan Economic Development Corporation and Department of Labor and Economic Growth would save the state of Michigan millions of taxpayers’ dollars. All the money we can save by reducing the size of our state government can be given back to those that have paid taxes. I am pro-life and believe that life begins at conception and am against using embryos for stem-cell research. “Our two-party system has failed us miserably and is what has caused Michigan’s problems. I am only running for governor of Michigan to preserve our very freedoms and liberties. I will give half my pay back to the state.

The millage would generate an estimated $185,652 in revenue the first year ($182,783 would go to the airport for maintenance, opera­ tions and capital improve­ ments, $2,868 would be dis­ bursed to the City of Hastings Downtown Development Authority (DDA) and Local Development Finance Authority and the Village of Middleville DDA). Airport Manager Mark Noteboom has said that with a reliable source of funding from the millage for 10 years, the airport could make a plan to become self-supporting. "That’s the whole goal of this is so in 10 years, the city won’t have to fund it and the county won't have to fund it in 10 years,” he said in a presen­ tation to the Barry County Board of Commissioners. Both the county board and city council have given approval for the millage request. Barry County Administrator Michael Brown said the esti­ mated annual budget for the airport is $173,000, and the one-tenth of mill would gener­ ate approximately $182,000 for the airport. “In the budget now, we have loan payments that will drop out. We also have some other line items that will drop out,” said Noteboom. “That brings it down to about $120,00 a year that we need ... We're figuring around $80,000 a year that we can put into capital improve­ ments for hangars or so forth ... If we don’t get the millage, there is no way to set a plan.” If approved, the millage would cost the average home­ owner approximately $5 per year. :» - .a< ^-1 »- u'r The Great Lakes Energy Mobile Classroom visited the Thornapple Kellogg School District on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, October 27, 28 and 29.

Actually, the lanyards and badges were reminders of the FMA Live show they had just seen and to remind them of Sir Isaac Newton's laws of motion. They also got to see class­ mates and teachers in direct contact with these laws. In the first show Makayla King, Clarice DeGroot, Madison Hannapel, Troy Boonstra and Andrew Begley per­ formed with FMA actors Eric Olson, Mike Peele and Christy Nicholle. Joining the FMA cast in the second show were Jager Flikkema, Nick Iveson, Desiree Sheppard, Maddy Verhey and Lauren Jenkins.

Won’t it be good to have it done? I am so weary of hear­ ing “He said ...” “She said ...” over and over — it’s like we’re on an elementary school playground. My contention has always been if you have to knock someone else down in order to promote yourself, there is something seriously askew. Truly, there may be some blank spaces on my ballot because I’m just so ticked off at both candidates (bad atti­ tude?). Wouldn’t it be nice if someone would say “I have an idea that I think might work. Will you let me try?" and then use some of those dollars to feed the hungry or help with someone’s mortgage? In any event, we election workers are paid with tax­ payer money. Here are tax dollars voters can control. Make us work for if, show up and exercise your legal and moral privilege.

I “kidnapped” my husband for a mystery date in Middleville. He went without kicking and scream­ ing and was given a gift from the TK Honors Choir and TK Jazz Band. We both were so impressed with the skill lev­ els and the talents we experi­ enced. The choral director Laura Oprea blended the voices of her honors choir to exceed our expectations. Ray Rickert took the indi­ vidual skills of the band stu­ dents, and the result was an outstanding performance. You could close your eyes and feel that you were at a large city event. However, to close your eyes you would not be able to feel the ambiance of the new audito­ rium. Actually it should not be called an auditorium — this is a real upscale theater. What a grand event to inau­ gurate our new school the­ ater. Ray Rickert and Laura Oprea thanked the communi­ ty multiple times for making the auditorium happen. This structure is yours, so go and enjoy. Take notice of what is happening within our schools and participate in the events. In November, the school is producing the play “Little Women.” Treat yourself and support the talents that surround us. Yes, we will continue to attend, but this time it will not have to be a mys­ tery date. My husband will go willingly. Enjoy what our community offers. Ann and Jake Nolan, Middleville rW Kfifcd. MC ■ Rft—— — I 'J ~lI State grant will improve traffic flow near Foremost The Michigan Department of Transportation announced on Oct. 27 the awarding of state transportation econom­ ic development grants that will support 4,473 jobs in nine Michigan counties. Work on 68th Street in Caledonia is one of the proj­ ects that will be done in 2011. the It is part of Transportation Economic Development Fund (TEDF) Category A grants totaling $7,987,303 that will leverage more than $845,962,716 in private investment at a private/public ratio of 106 to 1. The grants will fund road improvement projects in Calhoun, Allegan, Kalamazoo, Kent, Lenawee, Midland, Macomb, and Roscommon, Washtenaw counties. the "Across state, Michigan's roads are path­ ways of commerce that play a crucial role in our economy," said Governor Jennifer M. Granholm. "These trans­ portation grants will support economic development and almost 4,500 Michigan jobs by improving roads in nine counties." "Transportation is the backbone of Michigan's economy," said State Transportation Director Kirk T. Steudle. "These grants will keep commercial traffic moving safely and efficiently in locations across the state in order to attract and retain a diverse range of employers." The TEDF "Category A" Target or "Target Industries Program" is aimed specifi­ cally at providing transporta­ tion improvements that encourage private invest­ ments in Michigan that will create or retain jobs. These road improvements will help accommodate increased traf­ fic and provide commercial routes that are safe and more and efficient for new expanding companies. Private companies, town­ ships, cities, county road commissions and MDOT are providing $13,647,062 in matching funds (63 percent) for these projects.

The traffic associated with this expansion will have a significant impact on the local road system and could create operational problems at four intersections close to the Kraft Lake Office Park. To accommodate accommodate the expansion, the Kent County Road Commission Commission will deliver a package of four intersection improvement projects, These projects include the construction of new right and left-turn lanes at the intersection of 60th Street and Old 60th Street, and a new right-turn lane on Kraft Avenue at the intersec­ tion with 68th Street. A new dedicated right­ turn lane will be constructed on 68th Street and also on 60th Street at the intersec­ tions with M-37, while extending the existing right­ turn lane on each road. The traffic signals will be opti­ mized to accommodate the intersection improvements. The projects will improve traffic operations, increase safety, and provide long­ term congestion solutions with construction planned for 2011. The total cost of these improvements is $910,000, including $643,274 in state TEDF Category A funds, $196,726 in match from the Farmers Insurance Group and $70,000 from the Kent County Road Commission. 6" A $ /0 0 % pi $ & u’ HQ P JI j S5 I '■ IX- ® ,6a Si’ 1 ss n PUBLISHER’S NOTICE: All real estate advertising in this news­ paper is subject to the Fair Housing Act and the Michigan Civil Rights Act which collectively make it illegal to advertise “any preference, limitation or discrimi­ nation based on race, color, religion, sex. handicap, familial status, national origin, age or martial status, or an intention, to make any such preference, limitation or discrimination.” Familial status includes children under the age of 18 living with parents or legal custodians, pregnant women and people securing custody of children under 18.

My mom was a public school teacher for 30 years, and my dad worked at Steelcase. For the past two decades, I have worked as a business lawyer, helping small and familyowned businesses start, grow and create jobs in West Michigan. My work with businesses of all sizes has helped me understand the challenges businesses face and how to anticipate and prevent problems. “I have always made com­ munity service a priority. Among other commitments, I have headed the board of directors for the Inner City Christian Federation, the Grand Greater Rapids YMCA, Spectrum Health, DeVos Children's Hospital Foundation and Aquinas College, as well as serving on the development commit­ tee for Heart of West Michigan United Way, as president of the Grand Rapids Bar Association and secretary-treasurer of the Hope Network board. for “I am running Congress because we need to jobs in West create Michigan. I am frustrated that the partisan bickering in Washington is preventing good policies from being enacted. We need people in Congress who will use com­ mon sense, reach across the aisle, work to find the best regardless of policies party of ideology — and get things done. “I have proposed concrete plans to create jobs in West Michigan. I will work to create jobs through lowering taxes for small businesses including farms, instituting a payroll tax holiday to get money back in workers' pockets, giving companies tax breaks on purchasing American-made equipment and supporting tax credits for research and innovation. We need to end tax breaks for corporations that ship jobs overseas. “We need a new commitment to investing in education. And we must balance the federal budget. I’m proposing a 5 percent pay cut for members of Congress each year the federal budget is not balanced. Congress should have to do what working families in West Michigan do when they miss their budget — they take a hit. We can’t continue the unsustainable and reckless spending from the past eight years. “I am honored to have broad support from Republicans, including three former Republican party chairmen who feel that my opponent is too far outside the mainstream. I will repre­ sent this district as a moder­ ate. I will not support Nancy Pelosi for speaker of the house. “Most importantly, we need a representative in Congress who will work on finding solutions to our nation’s unprecedented chal­ lenges. I believe that there are good ideas from both political parties, and I will always vote in the best inter­ est of this district." www.patmilesforcongress.com Republican Justin Amash “I am a husband and a father of three beautiful chil­ dren. I am a Republican state representative, trained in economics and law. Brian Calley, a lieutenant gover­ nor nominee and state representative, strongly supports me. Time Magazine named me one of the 40 Under 40 Rising Stars in U.S. politics, “My principles are the ones that will grow our economy, protect our chil­ dren from future debt and empower people instead of government bureaucrats. Those principles are limited government, economic free­ dom and individual liberty. Each time I vote on a bill, I work with those on both sides of the aisle to under­ stand it. 1 seek the views of my constituents because that is what it means to be a representative. I vote in favor of the bill if it moves the law in the right direction and against the bill if it does not. I explain every vote I take on my Facebook page, and I personally answer questions about my votes. Too often, legislators are asked to vote on a bill with only minutes to read it. That is wrong, but my opponent supports that system. I have co-sponsored a joint resolution that will give every Michigan legisla­ tor and the public at least 72 hours to read the final language of a bill before voting on it. When I am not given time to read a bill, I vote no. I take seriously my responsibility to understand the language of a bill and the longterm tprnl consequences, consequences. even when there is pressure from special interests and party leaders to vote for it without independent judgment.

Granholm, allowing the government to take more and more of our tax money to pay for more control of our businesses, our health care and our lives? Or do we want a smaller, more responsible government that protects life and liberty? I will work for a government that lives within its means, respects the Constitution and creates a low-tax, predictable, trans­ parent environment in which businesses can grow, jobs can be restored and people can live free." www.amashforcongress.c om Green Party Charlie Shick The Shick Campaign did not respond to our requests. www.pickshick.org Libertarian James Rogers “The 2010 and 2012 elec­ tions are critical to ‘chang­ ing the conversation' in Washington and Lansing. As citizens, we are called to look closely at the people we elect to office. The cam­ paign cycle during the pri­ mary and general elections are more about evaluating the character of the candidates than about who will be the best person to represent the voter. The answer to par­ ticular questions is less important than understand­ ing how a candidate will conduct themselves in the public eye and more impor­ tantly, how they will act when we are not watching. “The Republican candi­ date has raised $611,584 this election cycle which includes $58,518 from polit­ ical action committees and $257,313 on hand. The Democrat raised $449,862 with $36,325 from political action committees and committees and $165,825 $165,825 on on hand. hand. Big-dolBig-dollar larcampaigns campaignsallow allowthe thecancandidate to market themselves to the voting public through, mail, print media, news media, cable and television. The message is carefully designed and delivered to the voters. Media attention is driven by the desire of the media to sell advertising and tap into the campaign cash held by the candidate. The campaigns try to reserve cash for future political efforts and re-election bids, depending on the tempera­ ment of the race. “The Libertarian Party of West Michigan works yearround to draw attention to the big pile of your money in Washington and Lansing that the two parties desire to control. This big pile of your money draws into the sys­ tem even more money in the form of corporate interest. special interest and lobbyists who feed off the system to gain political influence of our representatives. This 'new conversation’ will not begin until voters stop electing big party candidates and start sending ordinary citizens into government. Why are so many voters joining the Libertarian Party this year? The primary rea­ son is that voters are tired of let down by being; Republicans and Democrats, They talk about small government, however, they never deliver on their promise.

That's a change from recent years, when the coun­ ty meet had been held after regionals with a few top ath­ letes trying to gear up for the state meet and others just looking to close out their season. “We just want to be ready for regionals, definitely,” said TK girls* coach Tammy Benjamin. “You always want to go into a meet and win it. We always runs this meet after regionals, which I've never liked. This year before regionals is perfect.” She said that it gave her one more opportunity to get a feel for her line-up before regionals. Things are looking good. Thomapple Kellogg had the top three girls Monday, led by senior state medalist Allyson Winchester who ■r won her fourth Barry County individual title by finishing in 19 minutes 45.2 seconds. Teammate Casey Lawson was second in 20:09.0, and Shelbi Shepherd third in 20:50.1. races to the finish line ahead of Delton Kellogg’s Jolene Drum at Monday’s Barry County Meet.

Their teammate co Grace Possett was the final s CXI finisher to earn all-county r<o o honors, by placing in the top 15, with a time of 22:23.5. Delton’s boys weren't he best overall, but did have more county medalists. “Having seven guys in the medals there, that was excit­ ing said Grimes. “Tyler Bourdo did not have a good race, but our boys as a group >•are starting to move for­ i u ward.” I Furnaces - Air Conditioners “If somebody has an off - Heat Pumps - Boilers day, like Tyler had an off Thermostats - Humidifiers day, somebody else picks up the slack.” - Water Heaters - Air Purifiers The Panthers were led by - Plus much more!

This is the state in which I married my wife 19 years ago, and it is where Cynthia and I have raised our two children. I remember how Michigan was once a national powerhouse. Today, we are a punchline for latenight talk show hosts. I was not going to sit on the side­ lines. “As a judge, I handled more than 800 criminal cases. But, I also witnessed the Lansing political estab­ •It lishment closing prisons, releasing dangerous prison­ ers early and cutting the number of cops on the street. Those decisions put public safety at risk. “That’s why I am running. To be part of a new team that turns our state around, puts Michigan back on the right track and provides bold lead­ ership and solutions to the challenges facing our state. “I have been endorsed by more than 100 sheriffs and County prosecuting attor­ neys, the Police Officers Association of Michigan and Fraternal Order of Police. Those who fight crime sup­ port me to be Michigan’s top law enforcement official. I want every police officer and prosecutor to know that this attorney general will take an oath as well - an oath to stand by them, fight for them and lead the charge for them. Because Michigan needs an attorney general who is fighting as hard for them as they are for us, every single day. “There are better days ahead for Michigan. I want the hard-working families of our great state to know that they can count on me to put the safety and security first as the chief law enforcement official for the state of Michigan - your next attor­ ney general. “I have put forward a series of common-sense ideas: • Put public safety first, by re-prioritizing state spend­ ing, so we focus on impor­ tant responsibilities. The first obligation of government is keeping families safe. • Be a voice for victims. I will appoint a crime victims rights advocate in the AG's office to battle the gover­ nor’s policy of commuting dangerous criminals. • Continue the child sup­ port division. There is an epidemic of unpaid child support in Michigan, more than $9 billion. This unit identifies parents who have the ability to pay but refuse to do so. It has collected more than $90 million, directly benefiting more than 8,000 children. Since its inception, more than 60,000 children are receiving the support they are entitled to. And the child support divi­ sion has returned $1.5 mil­ lion to the state of Michigan. • Defend the Constitution by continuing the legal fight against Obamacare. • Establish a “police divi­ dend” by using savings from the department of corrections to hire more police and make our state and families safer. • Focus on public corrup­ tion. • Continue the legal fight for Arizona's right to control its border and ensure the safety and security of their citizens. The U.S. Justice Department needs to fight terrorists, not the individual states. • Push for transparency in state spending, so taxpayers can see how their dollars are spent. • Prosecute fraud and waste in government. • Defend and protect your personal privacy, especially information collected by the government. • Establish a new unit in the AG’s office called RPM, or Rapid Permits for Michigan, to ensure timely compliance by the state with issuing permits, to improve the state’s economic climate. www.billschuette.com Democrat David Leyton The Leyton Campaign did not respond to our requests. www.davidleyton.com Libertarian Daniel Grow “I have over 16 years of real-world legal experience.

Dozens of names of friends and family members were drawn in pink on the arms, legs and backs of girls from the Thornapple Kellogg/Hastings and Grand Rapids Catholic Central girls’ swimming and diving teams as they raced against each other in the CERC pool in Hastings Thursday. “This meet is dedicated to all whose lives have been affected by breast cancer... Support the Fighters. Admire the Survivors. Honor the Taken, and NEVER EVER GIVE UP HOPE,” read the evening’s pink program. “Everything went really well,” said TK/Hastings girls’ coach Carl Schoessel. “We had a big crowd up there. We raised a lot of money to help in the fight against breast cancer.” There weren’t just pink names and pink programs. There were pink T-shirts, pink swim caps, pictures of pink ribbons strung on ropes over the pool, pink ribbons pinned to the girls’ swim­ suits and pink rubber duckies splashing into the pool as part of a fundraiser. The only thing that didn't go well for the TK/Hastings girls was the results on the scoreboard. Catholic Central handed the Trojans their sec­ ond O-K Rainbow II defeat of the season, 100-86. It wasn’t really at the top of the standings where the Cougars outperformed the Trojans. Both teams had six first place finishes. Catholic Central did have nine thirds, compared to the Trojans’ three. Three of the Cougars' third place finishes, and two of their firsts, came in the relays where TK-Hastings is used to having a pair of relay teams score during confer­ ence duals. Il We regularly place first and third, but tonight they really did the job.

The team of Kayla Strumberger, Alexa Schipper, Kaylee DeMink, and Natalie VanDenack won in 1 minute 57.51 seconds. but the Cougars had teams place second and third. That third place team had its final swimmer touch the wall less than a second ahead of the anchor for the Trojan B' team. Catholic Central's team of Jordan Dery, Abby Fatum, Natalie Merucci and Kristine Craven would win the 200yard freestyle relay in Sam Valinski, 1:45.19. Terese O'Rourke, Dery and Merucci won the 400-yard freestyle relay in 4:01.92. TK/Hastings’ best event was the diving competition. where Tracy Hodges took Cougars). They did very first with a score of 182.95 well,” said Schoessel. “They points. Brieanna Sheldon had some of their best times, was second with 156.60 and we didn’t.

A presentation to the board by Paris Ridge stu­ dents had to be called off when all evening events in the district were canceled because of safety concerns. Mike Patterson, president of the board, called the meet­ ing to order. In short order, the board approved a recom­ mendation of the finance committee to accept the dis­ trict's audit and another rec­ ommendation by Superintendent Jerry Phillips rd srfT [oorij? rnoubH vlwen •w :sm^I3 A buod zrnab ► noriw ib srfj l2U£O9d JiM i J orb to oj gai cod orf!

Personnel changes recom­ mended by Assistant Superintendent Carol Purkey also were approved and included Joe Lienesch from high school resource room to resource room teacher con­ sultant; and Dawn Minor from Caledonia Elementary School, least restrictive envi­ ronment to Duncan Lake Middle School transitions program. The resignations of Robert Trathen, paraprofes­ sional transitions program, and Dayna Jousma, ninemonth custodial aide, were accepted. Henri Sheethorn and Dawn Meyering were hired as bus aides. Earl Gruber also requested a fam­ ily medical leave of absence. The board also approved a bid of $24,800 from Riteway Fence for the construction of a batting cage fence; two bat­ ting cages will be construct­ ed. The board met in closed session at the request of Phillips to discuss his mid­ year evaluation; the board was in closed session from 8:47 to 9:29 p.m., and no action was taken in the closed session. In his report on the state of the school district, Phillips complimented the boys and girls cross-country teams, noting that both were league champions and had been for four consecutive years. The teams were going to the state finals Saturday, Nov. 6, at the Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn. Phillips noted that the Michigan Educational Aptitude Program tests had been completed for grades third through ninth, and that the high school equivalent will be given in the spring. He also said both middle schools had chapters induct­ ed into the National Junior Honor Society. Besides aca­ demic requirements, hon­ orees are also required to perform community service projects. The next meeting of the board of education will be Tuesday, Nov. 23, at 7 p.m. in the forum room at Caledonia High School, 9050 Kraft Ave. Genesee county prosecutor, 3,781-959. The village of Caledonia, according to Christian, pre­ sented an unusual feature in the number of write-in votes cast for the position of vil­ lage trustee. In every election cycle, three trustee positions are up. Only Danise Regan, who had been appointed to fill the remain­ der of an expiring term vacated by a trustee who resigned, filed to run for the office by Aug. 12, the filing I deadline. That left blank spaces on the ballot for the two remaining trustee seats. Eventually, four declarations of intent to run as write-in candidates were filed by the Oct. 22 deadline. According to the statistics Christian, supplied by Regan, running for the office of trustee, received 325 votes cast in the usual fashion. The two highest write-in vote­ getters were Todd Grinage See ELECTION, page 1 Freeport election does not include president Wednesday, Nov. 3, resi­ dents of Freeport woke to discover that less than 100 of their neighbors had voted in Tuesday's election. No one ran for the position of village council president, though 17 write-in votes were cast for the position. According to Village Clerk Yvonne Aspinall, the 17 write in-votes for presi­ dent will have no impact since no one had filed as a write-in candidate for the position by the Oct. 22 dead­ line. unopposed. Running Aspinall was re-elected as clerk with 96 votes. Also running unopposed, Treasurer Dorothy Kelley was re-elected with 98 votes.

I Thornapple Township road millage defeated The Thomapple Township .05 percent road millage request was defeated by a vote of 1,706-1,050. The millage would have generat­ ed approximately $350,000 for three years. Township Wednesday, Supervisor Don Boysen said he was disappointed with the results. “I think it is an indication that people do not want to pay any additional taxes," said Boysen. “The [county] airport millage request was also defeated." Boysen added the Thornapple Township board of trustees will have to look at the 2011 budget to see if any funds are available for road work in the coming year. The next meeting of the Thomapple Township board of trustees will be Monday, Nov. 8, at 7 p.m. In This Issue • Gourmet Foods gets conditional approval from township • Middleville plans public hearing on marijuana ordinance Dec. 7 • Trio of Trojan runners race in Brooklyn this afternoon • Caledonia teams place second at regionals, off to state finals I < �Page 2/The Sun and News, Saturday, November 6, 2010 '1 Gourmet Foods gets conditional approval from township by Fran Fa verman Staff Writer The Caledonia Township Planning Commission, at its meeting Monday, Nov. 1, took up two requests from Gourmet Foods International Inc. for an amendment to the zoning map and a site plan review for a proposed amendment to the planned unit development (PUD) where the company is locat­ ed. The PUD is currently »!• composed of two parcels; a third parcel, south of the other two, contains a resi­ dence with a driveway off M-37. In previous appear­ ances before the commis­ sion, company representa­ tives have expressed a desire to use the residence for addi­ tional office space and keep the three parcels separate, rather than combine them into one. The first question taken up by the commission was rezoning. Steve Witte, engi­ neer with Nederveld Inc., said the owner was willing to combine the three parcels into one; the site would then be 4.2 acres. The commission unani­ mously approved rezoning of the third parcel, a residen­ tial property at 6221 Broadmoor, to the PUD, pro­ vided the three parcels become one. Moving on to the site plan review, Witte said the house would be converted to office space with additional park­ ing at that location, land­ scaping would be added, and landscaping to the south would be retained. He added that the company wanted a setback of 20 feet instead of the 25 feet required in the PUD ordinance and the use of crushed asphalt for the parking lot instead of paving with asphalt or concrete. He said the company would like to keep the sec­ ond drive (6621 Broadmoor until the next phase of its development plan, which may include construction of an addition to the existing building. Witte noted that the company is at 50 percent of lot coverage and wants assurance that if a new plan is presented in a year or two, they will be allowed to go to 70 percent coverage of the lot. The commissioners’ dis­ cussion began with Chair Archie Warner saying he wanted a time limit on the second driveway and wants paving instead of crushed asphalt. Commissioner Mike Kelly said that it was stretching the definition of bituminous sur­ face to include crushed asphalt, saying, “I’ll give you an ‘A’ for effort.” He said he would like the drive­ way closed now. Horst Nitschke, owner, said he would close the drive in six months. Commissioner Don B Koopmans asked, “How would the future addition affect parking versus what we have now?” Witte responded that they had 52 spaces in the present plan and would have 63 in the conceptual plan. He said the conceptual plan adds sig­ nificant square footage. Koopmans introduced side­ walks into the discussion, saying he wanted to see side­ walks on Broadmoor within three years. He added that commercial developments without sidewalks were dan­ gerous, and he wanted to start requiring them now. The discussion of side­ walks and whether to make them five or six feet in width, came to a halt when Commissioner Kelly Cavanaugh said that some communities were going to six-foot widths. She also raised questions about prop­ erty to the west of Gourmet Foods International, asking if it is zoned highway com­ mercial or residential. If the is property residential, should conditions be attached, she queried. Cavanaugh also wanted to know how stormwater deten­ tion would be affected by an addition. Witte agreed that stormwater detention would have to be reconfigured, either underground or through a rain garden. Commissioner Duane Gunnink said that even with ..... — J ■■ »<!**•** Mi crushed asphalt (a pervious surface), the site would still have a drainage problem. He also opposed the use of crushed asphalt, saying he wanted a surface able to take emergency vehicles. “The ordinance says blacktop,” said Gunnink. Crushed concrete would be more acceptable to him than crushed asphalt, but nei­ ther is a paved surface, he noted. Nitschke interjected, “We •It are asking for a temporary agreement." Cavanaugh said that with­ out time stipulations, the proposed agreement could become a case study. Warner responded, saying, “The bottom of the line is temporary needs a time­ frame.” Commissioner Tim Morris, entering the discussion, commented, “The driveway is a no-brainer; it needs to go.” He also questioned the location of a Dumpster, say­ ing that putting it in the mid­ dle of an improved area was an odd place. He also said he objected to the proposed lot coverage, saying, “70 per­ cent seems quite high.” Kelly remarked that he was a little nervous about granting approval of a future site plan. “Do you have other options for parking without 70 percent?” asked Warner. “We can’t impose a legacy on another commission.” Nitschke then asked if they could seek 60 percent. Warner declined. “For us to guess and give you carte blanche, we can’t,” said the chairman. “We have to be able to add on,” Nitschke said, adding, in reference to the third par­ Commissioners unanicel, “if we can’t do an addi­ mously approved a motion to tion, it is a $300,000 parking recommend that the town­ lot.” ship board of trustees Witte said the percentage approve an amendment to for lot coverage in the con­ the PUD with the following ceptual plan is 66.8. conditions: elimination of Morris said, “I'm not the residential driveway in comfortable with granting one year, the house becomes it.” an office or is removed, side­ Warner said it would be walks are added in the later making an already non-con­ phase or conceptual plan, the forming use even more non­ non-paved lot area is paved conforming; he did not know within three years or if the township board, which becomes part of the building, has to hold a public hearing crushed asphalt or crushed and confer final approval on concrete is used for the park­ amendments to PUDs, would ing lot, drainage arrange­ approve such a move. ments require the approval of Kelly said the commission the township engineer, and a could give on the surface of light pole is added to comply the parking lot but not on the with the lighting standard driveway. and the photometric plan.

I r‘ X 0 ■ » •, S*!> L by Fran Fa verman Staff Writer At its Oct. 28 meeting, the Caledonia Village Planning Commission approved a rec­ ommendation to the village council to rezone a portion of the Seif Chevrolet site to commercial to permit con­ struction of a new building to house the body shop. The body shop has to be moved to allow for expansion of the service department. Ron Van Singel, repre­ senting Seif Chevrolet, pre­ sented a site plan. The site, approximately 1.82 acres, would be used to construct a building. 125-by-70-foot Van Singel said noise was not an issue since the build­ ing would be well insulated. Brian Commissioner Hicks questioned the rela­ tionship of the site to adja­ cent apartment buildings and noted that the new building would be closer to the apart­ ments than current buildings on the site and also expressed concerns about a retention basin. Van Singel pointed out that the site was buffered and that General Motors dictated some of the requirements for the site. He also said the new facility would add three jobs to the area and that Seif has been a good neighbor for more than 40 years. Hicks continued with his questions, asking why they needed a new body shop and what the areas of the current sales facility and office are. “The reality is we have a residence in a commercial zone,” said Hicks, adding that the site plan was incom­ plete. Commission Chair Chris Clark, who earlier had sup­ ported expanding the com­ mercial area, interjected, “We could recommend with conditions.” Van Singel said the major­ ity of the plan met the vil­ lage’s requirements. Village Planning Consultant Mark Sisson said he was comfortable with approving the site plan, with the condition that he and township engineer Paul Galdes be consulted along with village staff. Village attorney Mark Van Allsburg recommended making acceptance of the site plan contingent upon approval of the rezoning by the village council. Hicks continued, object­ ing to the metal siding, say­ ing, “The building is boring; not enough detail, not enough completeness.” Clark said he had been to the site many times and there was no clear flow of traffic. Danise Commissioner Regan, entered the discus­ sion, suggesting, “We could do more after council approves the rezoning.” She moved to table the site plan review lentil the next meeting on Nov. 18; the motion was approved. In other business, after Van Allsburg reviewed changes to the proposed medical marijuana ordinance recommended by the coun­ cil, the commission voted unanimously to send the doc­ ument back to the council. Van Allsburg had questioned the usefulness of a 20-year computerized criminal histo­ ry as opposed to a 10-year history because not all crimi­ nal records are computerized to the level of 20 years. Normally the commission meets on the fourth Thursday of the month. Because of Thanksgiving Nov. 25, the next meeting of the commis­ sion will be at 7 p.m. Nov. 18 at the village hall, 250 Maple St. Veterans eat free at Nov. 11 spaghetti dinner by Patricia Johns Staff Writer The Caledonia Rotary Club is working on a scholarship fundraiser spaghetti dinner for Thursday, Nov. 11.

Damghani noted that he was not able to do the demon­ stration he had planned since the recent high winds and storms had his son Kevin out users computer helping impacted by the weather. Information about the Caledonia Rotary Club will be available at the Nov. 11 spaghetti dinner. by Patricia Johns Sta# Writer The Middleville Planning Commission will hold public hearing on the marijuana ordi­ nance Dec. 7. The commis­ sion reviewed the proposed ordinance at its Nov. 3 meet­ ing. Interim Village Manager and Planner Geoff Moffat presented the commission with a draft ordinance, saying it was • succinct and to the point. The ordinance pro­ vides definitions of marijua­ na, the medical uses of mari­ juana and marijuana dispen­ saries. The medical use of mari­ juana is defined as the “acquisition, possession, cul­ tivation, manufacture, use internal possession, delivery, transfer of marijuana or para­ phernalia relating to the administration of marijuana to treat or alleviate a regis­ tered qualifying patient's debilitating medical condi­ tion or symptoms associated with the debilitating medical condition, as defined under the Medical Marijuana Act, PA 2008, Initiated Law 1.” A dispensary is “any busi­ ness, facility, association, cooperative, location or operation, which is operated for profit or non-profit, whether fixed or mobile, where medical marijuana is made available to be sold, used, grown, processed, delivered or distributed by or to one or more primary care­ giver, qualifying patients or members of the public.” A medical marijuana dis­ pensary includes any loca­ tion as listed above “where medical marijuana is smoked or consumed by three or more persons at one time.” Moffat stressed that in the ordinance, a medical mari­ juana dispensary does not include dispensation of med­ ical marijuana by a primary caregiver personally not dis­ tributing to more than five qualified patients, in . strict accordance with the 2008 law. This must be done in “full compliance with this ordi­ nance, as well as all other applicable village ordinances and applicable laws and rules of the Village of Middleville and applicable Michigan and federal laws, rules and regu­ lations.” The ordinance prohibits medical dispensaries in any zoning district or on or from any property within the vil­ lage of Middleville. The ordi­ nance was written by the com­ bined ordinance committees of the planning commission and the village council. Both Moffat and planning commission members empha- sized that they were compas­ sionate toward those who have legitimate medical needs. Moffat repeated several times that the ordinance is written as closely as possible to the Michigan Medical Marijuana Act. “After much soul-search­ ing. this is a good step for­ ward," Sue Reyff told fellow commissioners. In other business, the com­ mission recommended that member David Newman be appointed to the zoning board of appeals. This rec­ ommendation will go to the village council at its Nov. 9 meeting. Because of the public hearing on medical marijua­ na, the commission will set the date for the public hear­ ing on the Towne Center planned-unit development proposed changes at the next meeting. Copies of the proposed medical marijuana ordinance will be available at village hall during office hours.

He was bom on August 23. 1953, in Hastings, at Pennock Hospital, to Elmer E and Doris (Shively) Neeson. Don grew up in the Yankee Springs area and graduated from ThornappleKellogg High School. He had a passion for the inner workings of machines and attended several special­ ty schools studying mechan­ ics. Don worked for many years at Michcon in Grand Rapids as a mechanic and repairman and retired in 1999. His love for machines carried on throughout his life and he enjoyed John Deere tractors, Harley Davidson motorcycles, and small engines. In 1996 Don met Melinda "Suzie" and they married on December 8, 2000. Don was a quiet and sim­ ple man, with a huge sense of humor, who made those around him laugh at his quick wit. His family includes his wife Suzie; his brothers: David and Vicki Neeson of Hastings, Richard "Dick" and Margo Neeson of Middleville, and Daniel Neeson and Brenda King of Middleville; seven nieces and nephews and 17 great­ nieces and nephews.

TKHS graduate now teaching at Caledonia School closing decisions made on case-by-case basis by Patricia Johns Staff Writer Thornapple Kellogg Superintendent Gary Rider is getting to make decisions about school closings this winter. The recent days with unusually winds high brought attention to this process. In addition, the school dis­ trict is now part of the Honeywell Instant Alert sys­ tem. “We are still deciding how to use this system for school closings,” said Rider. “Parents of elementary stu­ dents don’t want to get a call at 5 a.m.” Decisions about delaying school openings or closing school are made cooperative­ ly between the administra­ tion and Matt Funk who is in charge of the transportation department. Funk will drive through the school district, contact the Barry County Sheriff’s department and talk with Rider and staff at nearby ^ONTEMPO J/^LON & e^OUTIQUE nc QxxiOm Gel Manicures r'NIQU GIFTS STYLE - COLOJ? - HIGHLIGHTS 616-891-1093 Aveda - Redken - Nioxm 9351 Cherry Valley.

Of course, the price of these investments will fluctu­ ate. and if you sell when the price is down, you could lose some or all of your principal. But if you purchase quality investment vehicles, and you hold them for the long term, you may be able to “smooth out” some of the market's volatility and take advantage of your investments' poten­ tial. • Vote for suitability. In choosing a candidate, you're looking for someone who will represent your views, as well as the best interests of your community or state. And you also want to choose investments that are suitable for your individual prefer­ ences and goals. So, if you're naturally a conservative investor, you won't want a heavy exposure to riskier investments. Or, if you need a specific amount of money in a set number of years, you may want to choose an investment that offers greater protection of principal and possibly a fixed rate of return. • Vote for clarity. Before you take time to learn about the various candidates and their positions on the issues. But you also need to make informed decisions in other areas of your life — such as when you “elect” the invest­ ments to help pursue your goals. ’ ‘ ’ Actually, you can find some similarities in selecting candidates and choosing investments. Here are a few “votes” that can apply to either situation: • Vote for vision. When you vote for political candi­ dates, you expect that they have a solid vision for what they want to accomplish. And when you put together an investment strategy, you also need a vision of the goals you’re hoping to reach — and this overall vision should help guide your moves over the years. • Vote for potential. When you vote for candi­ dates, you are showing your confidence in their potential to be effective legislators. And when you choose specif­ ic investments, you are counting on their potential to help you attain your objec­ tives. For example, when you purchase growth-oriented SINCE Hk____ JU 1 you ii want to oe sure you really understand his or her messages and promises. And you'll need a similar clarity in choosing investments. Never invest in something unless you understand its risks and potential rewards. • Vote for experience. Tn any election, you want to vote for someone who has the ability to carry out the office that he or she is seeking. And before you choose an invest­ ment, you should have the experience necessary to eval­ uate the pros and cons involved. You can gain some of this knowledge by study­ ing up on the investments that you're considering, but, given the complexities of the financial world, you also may want to work with an invest­ ment professional. As a responsible citizen, you know how important it is to make your voice heard on Election Day. As a diligent investor, you understand how important it is to "elect" the right investments for your portfolio.

November 6. 2010/ Page 11 Valerie Byrnes pledges assistance to high-speed task force by Patricia Johns Staff Writer Valerie Byrnes, director of the Barry' County Economic Development Alliance, attended a meeting of the ad hoc technology committee in the Irving Township Hall Wednesday, Oct. 27. Byrnes listened as com­ mittee chair Lynette Wingeicr explained that the task force has been research­ ing the need in Barry County for high-speed Internet or wireless Internet. The goal, she told Byrnes, was to make sure Barry County’s more rural areas did not lose home sales or r; noted that the cost to print the first 5,000 to 6.000 sur­ veys is one way the Alliance can help. Once the surveys are returned at the end of January and evaluated, the committee can develop an implementation plan. Byrnes also told the com­ mittee that the Alliance will help use the data to look for grants and other support for a program, if possible. She encouraged commit­ tee members to approach the project in pieces and that she would be willing to help the committee in the future. businesses due to the lack of high-speed Internet connec­ tions. Bymest talked about the Entrepreneur Pillar and how technology, including access to high-speed Internet, is a piece of the puzzle. The committee has devel­ oped a survey that will ask residents to note their need for high-speed Internet. One side of the survey includes definitions of high-speed Internet. Everyone on the commit­ tee said they believe it is important that cost of print­ ing the survey not be paid by local governments.

Drawings will be held every hour, and people need to be present to win. Stauffer said that opening a yarn shop is a dream she has had for years. This goal began “once upon an island — not your toes-in-the-sand island, but a blistery cold and wet spot, in the North Sea, just off the coast of Rotterdam, the Netherlands, where I was bom.” She is the youngest of six girls and also has three brothers. In her household, knitting was a necessity, not a fun hobby. “Mom had me knitting even before I started kinder­ garten, and I sported a brand new pair of mittens, which I had created at age 5, as I went off to school,” recalled Stauffer. “My mom, Moe Bos, had a talent like no Henny Stauffer stands next to the dress made for her other. She could just look at by her mother, Moe Bos, when she was 15. It is on dis- continues.” Later, as a mother with four children, Stauffer said the knitting and purling contin­ ued. “They also wore knitted outfits, and I was proud.” she said of her children. At some,lit int — and she's not sure when — knitting became a hobby. And she became the one to pass the craft on to others. “As a middle school teacher, my students learned in after-school programs, where I encouraged boys and girls to participate,” Stauffer said. “Then after retirement, p|ay jn her new yarn shop jn Caledonia.

Charity knitting is offered the first and third Fridays of each month at 10 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Stauffer also holds infor­ mal knitting and crocheting sessions each Wednesday, from 1 to 3 or 7 to 9 p.m. and each Tuesday from 1 to 3 p.m. Participants may bring along projects they are working on or join in on any of the charity knitting projects. “We know there are lots of things that keep you from getting any knitting done at home — kids, pets, phones, chores, homework. Pull up a chair and knit with us,” she suggested. “We’re glad to have you any time.” Guests are welcome to browse the selection of yarns, including Brown Sheep, Cascade, Crystal Palace, Farmhouse, Kertzer, Opal, Plymouth, Southwest and more. “And I’m open to carry other yams that you would suggest,” added Stauffer. The shop carries yarn from a local artist who raises sheep and dyes her own wool. “In addition, Rita Johr, owner of Circle R Ranch Alpacas, has included in our shop some of her natural fibers as well, and has added some Suri Elegance Lace yarns,” she noted. “We even have some Icelandic sheep fiber from our Stauffer farm here in Caledonia.” She also carries a full line of knitting and crocheting needles and other equipment. One of the pleasures of opening the shop, she said, is the opportunity to work with her friend Sharon Reurink who will be opening a cafe shortly in the Caledonia Station. More information will be available at the open house. Stauffer also is planning a ladies night out Friday, Nov. 19, from 6 to 9 p.m. The cost is $25 and includes dinner. Participants will create mod .til ­ ern scarves that do not require knitting or crochet­ ing.

Sloan started the presenta­ tion by discussing the more than 15 years of Rotary International projects she and other Middleville Rotary Club members worked on. This included trips to Belize beginning in 1995, Mexico and Nicaragua. In 1997, she worked with the late Bill Getty on homes in Nicaragua, which was later impacted by Hurricane Mitch in 1998. Sloan said she believes the project built 320 homes in a four-year period. One of the homes was dedicated to Bill Getty there as well. Sloan retired for health reasons in 2003, but went back in 2005 and 2006. Noah, a physician, talked about his volunteer work with the Three Angels Project in Haiti, beginning in 2003. He also worked with this group in 2008 and 2009. “This is not a Rotary proj­ ect but does have volunteer openings for those who are not medical volunteers,” he added. Noah was part of the Discipleship Ebeneezer Training Center response to the earthquake Jan. 12. The Three Angels orphanage was emptied during the earth­ quake, but Noah added that all the orphans are now in the United States. He said he may return to Haiti with Three Angels in February.

Guests can take a tour and see the facility's improve­ ments which include a new handicap access ramp at the front entrance. The church, built in 1964, had three steps to the entrance and another two steps inside, leading to the sanctuary. A portable ramp had been used to provide wheelchair entrance to the building when needed. Over the past two years, the congregation has worked to improve access for per­ sons with physical restric­ tions. Phase 1 was to recon­ figure the entry way to include a ramped hallway inside the vestibule and reconfigure the bathrooms with wider doorways and sufficient room to accommo­ date wheelchairs or walkers. Phase 2, completed in October, provided two new walkways — one with a redesigned set of steps and Call 269-945-95M for Sun & News classified ads the other a gently slopin 5a sidewalk-style ramp. The entire entry area was sur­ rounded by new landscaping to make the area safe and maintenance free, and rail­ ings were installed on both walkways, extending from the drive to the church door. To raise funds for the proj­ ect, the congregation hosted a food booth at the Cascade Independence Day Celebration. Many patrons to the church's booth men­ tioned their appreciation of the cause, noting they had friends or family with special access needs. Those unable to attend the open house are welcome at any of the services. The church is located at 4935 Whitneyville Ave., just south of 1-96 between 48th and 52nd streets.

New Federal Trade Commission regulations to help protect financially des­ perate families from decep­ tive offers for debt relief went into effect Oct. 27. While the new rule will have a significant impact on reducing predatory debt relief, the Better Business Bureau advises consumers that they still need to use cau­ tion when enlisting the help a third party to get out of debt Since the start of the recession in December of 2007, the Better Business Bureau has received more than 6,000 complaints across the nation from consumers about debt relief or debt set­ tlement companies. Typically, complainants say they were charged large up­ front fees in exchange for the empty promise that the company would significantly reduce or eliminate their debt “The debt relief industry has flourished in the current economy, and you can bet (hat many unscrupulous companies are feverishly try­ ing to figure out ways to get around the new laws, such as relying less on telephones to solicit new customers,” said £en Vander Meeden, presi- dent of the BBB Serving Western Michigan. “While these new rules provide effective new protections, consumers still need to be on the lookout for deceptive debt relief services.” Under the new rule, any company that solicits debt relief services over the phone — including taking incom­ ing calls from new customers — will not be able to charge upfront fees until: • The debt relief service successfully renegotiates, set­ tles, reduces or otherwise changes the terms of at least one of the consumer's debts. • There is a written settle­ ment agreement, debt-man­ agement plan or other agree­ ment between the consumer and the creditor, and the con­ sumer has agreed to it. • The consumer has made at least one payment to the creditor as a result of the agreement negotiated by the debt-relief provider. Additionally, debt-relief providers cannot require that consumers set aside pay­ ments in a “dedicated account” unless: • The dedicated account is maintained at an insured financial institution. • The consumer owns the funds (including any interest —r - accrued). • The consumer may with­ draw the funds at any time without penalty. • The provider does not own or control or have any affiliation with the company administering the account. • The provider does not exchange any referral fees with the company adminis­ tering the account. Finally, before the con­ sumer signs up for any debt­ relief service, providers must disclose fundamental aspects of their services, including how long it will take for con­ sumers to see results, how much it will cost, negative consequences that could result from using debt-relief services and key information about dedicated accounts if they choose to require them. Businesses can learn more about how to follow this new rule on the FTC's Business Center website, http://business.ftc.gov/documents/bus7 2-debt-relief-services-telemarketing-sales-rule-guidebusiness.

Fisher explained that, due to the continued downturn in the economy, donations to the humane society have decreased significantly; therefore the society will decrease its funding for med­ ical treatment of animals brought into Animal Control and eliminate all funding for the euthanasia as of Jan. 1, 2011. 61 We have had to take a hard look at some of our expenses and have deter­ mined that cuts have to be made in order to continue to fund our basic programs and concentrate on spaying and neutering, humane education •II in schools, pet meals on wheels, our pet food pantry and financial help for those in need of veterinary care and treatment for their pets, which is often the only tangible thing these people have left after losing jobs and homes, Requests for financial help are increasing daily.” Fisher said the humane society is currently funding all medical costs for the treatment of animals brought into the shelter, including euthanasia. “However, after contact­ ing the department of agri­ culture and speaking directly with the state veterinarian. Dr. Michael Finatri, • we found that the county is responsible for paying some of the expenses that the1 BCHS has been paying for many years," she said. According to Fisher, starting Jan. 1,2011, the humane society will only pay for the medical treatment of animals after a licensed veterinarian has assessed the animal, which has been made com­ fortable and is free from pain and suffering and stabilized for the required waiting peri­ od. She added, that accord­ ing to state regulations, this first step is the county’s responsibility. “Once the animal has been stabilized ... and if the animal has been determined to be highly adaptable, then Step 2 — BCHS responsibil­ ity will kick in," said Fisher. “The BCHS must be contact* Wheel Alignments Front Suspension Repair Auto Glass Installation Insurance Work Welcome Over 30 Years Experience • Visa & MasterCard Accepted • • • • • NEWS!

Fisher said she did not have those numbers readily available. However, she did say that without continued donations, the humane society's funds would be depleted within 10 years. Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf, who oversees Animal Control, said his department has funds to cover the medical and euthanasia costs. Barry County Administrator Michael Brown said Animal Control has a donation fund that cur­ rently has a balance of approximately $215,000, which can be used for the care and treatment of animals brought in to animal control. III He added that the fund aver­ ages about $34,000 a year in revenues. However, he noted that with a high of $84,000 and a low of $2,300. the aver­ age wasn't consistent. Fisher said Animal Control's donation fund was, substantially more than what the humane society has. Fisher said her group would continue to aid Animal Control through the senior pet program, litter program, by supplying cat carriers and a more con­ trolled medical assistance program. The humane society also will have a representative on the commission's Animal Control advisory committee. Commissioners are expected to give their final approval of the selected appointees dur­ ing their next regular meet­ ing, slated for 9 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 9. The first meeting of the advisory com­ mittee has been set for 3 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 2. Board Chairman Robert Houtman said he was confi­ dent Animal Control had enough funds available to carry on operations until the advisory committee was able to determine how the Animal Control donation fund would be used.

There were smiles leading 6-2 in game five; stressful looks trailing 8-7; joy at tying the contest back up at 11-11; a nervous time-out down 13-12; elation tied 1313; and a celebration worthy of district championship after pulling out a 16-14 vic­ tory. Thomapple Kellogg’s var­ sity volleyball team scored a 3-2 victory over Ionia in its Class B District Opener at Hastings High School. The district championship won’t go to the Trojans though, who fell to Delton Kellogg in the district semifinals Thursday. “This was my favorite game of the year, actually, of my life," said TK head coach Stacey Woodall after the win Tuesday. “We were fighters. They never gave up, and that’s not like us. Usually, they feel like they want it, but tonight they played like it. Even when they got down they kept coming back. They totally did not want to be done tonight.” The Trojans came from a set down a couple of times. Ionia took game one 2519, and TK had to fight off two set points in the second to pull out a 28-26 victory. Ionia then won a tight third 8 Thornapple Kellogg’s Nicole Schondelmayer knocks down an attack by Ionia’s Kelsey Darling during Tuesday night’s Class B District Opener in Hastings.

The TK coach was happy with her team’s fight, again. “I feel like they tried,” Woodall said Thursday, “and they were aggressive consid­ ering how hard (Delton) hits. They had a lot of tools we don't have. 1 felt like all the long rallies, the ones that last five minutes, we won most of those.” The Trojans got five kills from Weesie. Ellinger added ten digs and three kills. Webster and Molly Lark had five assists each, while Lark also chipped in ten digs. I knew we had to show up, because I figured Thornapple is real scrappy and they fought hard and we couldn't let them in the game. They're dangerous in the fact that they just play hard," Delton Kellogg head coach Jack Magelssen said. “We have to play a lot better, obviously, Saturday.” The winner Saturday moves on to next week's regional tournament hosted by Three Rivers. All-stater Adrianna Culbert led the Delton Kellogg hard hitters with nine kills and four blocks. She also had six aces, 13 digs, and 15 assists. Delton also got nine kills and three blocks from middle Carly Boehm. Taylor Blacken led the Panthers with 23 digs. “I think we controlled the tempo of the game, and that was probably the biggest thing,” Magelssen said. The coaches agreed that the speed of the game favored the Panthers. “The game was faster than what we have played in a very long time,” Woodall said. “We had a hard time adjusting to the speed. We haven't played a game like that in weeks. “The biggest thing is when you pass the ball where it needs to go, the setter just has to release it from her hands. They were great passers. They put the ball to the setter every time for the most part.” I fl to /Ji & to I K>* pl» Li DOBBIN'S __________ WTrn * w Our Diagnostic Computer Software Is Compatible With All Makes & Models .,945-0191 SU JEFF DOBBINS ff) , AUTO SERVICE, INC._________ wDF Owner, left Dobbin, AST Master Technician —Over 20 yean experience 24 HOUR TOWINC SERVICE AVAILABLE come flying back to go up 76. “We knew we had to keep our heads up, and we had to keep the intensity up on our side,” said Trojan senior out­ side hitter Alyssa Weesie. We knew we could beat them.” An Ionia serve went into the net to break a 17-17 tie, and TK won eight of the next 13 points thanks to a few big kills from both Weesie and Erin Ellinger to win 25-22. “We played really well, and all the underclassmen wanted to do it for the sen­ iors, because it (could have been) our last game,” Weesie said. 41 z^ B'lmrsw The Trojan’s Kenzie Webster sets the ball up during her team’s district victory over Ionia Tuesday in Hastings. (Photo by Brett Bremer) “We knew we played bad during the whole season. We wanted to prove to everyone we’re winners.” Weesie helped prove it by leading the Trojans with 19 kills and five aces, while also chipping in 21 digs. Ellinger finished with 30 digs, 14 kills and three aces. Everyone played a part for the Trojans. Hana Hunt had kills. Nicole eight Schondelmayer chipped in four kills and four blocks. Libero Molly Lark had 23 digs. Katie Lark had 21 assists as well as two aces, including one that ended the match. Katie saw a little less time at setter than normal, as Woodall wanted to get the taller Kenzie Webster in dur­ ing what would have been Katie's turns in the front row against the powerful Bulldog front. Webster, a senior who didn't play volleyball as a junior, had an outstanding effort that included 14 assists. Woodall also enjoyed the contributions of freshman Sydney LeMay, who didn't show any nerves in her first district action. “She had a great night. She’s a freshman and she made a big impact. She made some saves that I’m not sure anyone else could have,” Woodall said. The Trojans at times had trouble controlling the pow­ erful serves of Ionia's Kelsey Darling and Taylor Sanicki, but got better as the match wore on. At one point in the first set, Darling recorded seven service points in a row including a couple aces, to help her team pull away.

She explained how one student’s family, who lives in California, can now see the art online. Parents and other relatives also have purchased work from the site, and the school gets a small amount of money for each local artist's piece that is purchased online. “Last year we received about $500, which is almost the same amount we had to cut from our budget,” Bailey told the board. Evans also received the Art Leadership Award from Artsonia. During the presen­ tation of certificates, Superintendent Gary Rider said, “Leadership from these art teachers has been an outstanding demonstration of how important the arts are to this school district. Page teacher Rebecca McIntyre than gave a presen­ tation on Rocket Math, a supplemental mathematics program that can be used to help both advanced and struggling students. 111.1 « •/ . a. - McIntyre explained how she first learned about Rocket Math while she was student teaching several years ago in Greenville. In 2008, she began using it with her class at Page. She also used it with children who have ADD and said she was amazed at how well it worked for them. A pilot Rocket Math pro­ gram began at Lee in 2009. This year, it is in broad use at Page and Lee. McIntyre said she also is talking to some of the first grade teachers at McFall. She explained to the board that it is a sequential pro­ gram, and students work in pairs and move at their own pace. “This is a write and say system that teaches cooperative learning and supple­ ments the mathematics curriculum,” she told the board. Board of Education President Don Haney con- Art teachers Kathy Bailey, left, and Amie Evans were honored by the Thornapple Kellogg Board of Education on November 8. (Photo by Patricia Johns) gratulated McIntyre for intro­ ducing a program that supports students to be involved in the process. He also praised the teachers for working together. Thomapple Kellogg High School Principal Tony Koski then gave an overview of the ongoing book study of Repair Kit for Grading by Ken O’Connor. About 30 teachers are reading the book and discussing it online. Many are part of the school improvement team, The group is going to have a gettogether before Christmas break to discuss the book, as well. Rider said creating dia­ logues have been an impor­ tant part of the discussion. Koski also told the board members that he will be bringing data to the Dec. 13 meeting on survey results taken of students in the Kent Intermediate School District. He said the results will allow the district to be proactive. Haney added that this would be a good place to begin and that changes could be made over time. In other business, the board approved administra­ tive and non-representative contracts by a vote of 6-1, with Scott Kiel casting the dissenting vote. The oneyear contracts include a .5 percent increase in the base salary and a .65 percent offschedule increase. This is retroactive to the beginning of the 2010-11 school year. The next meeting of the Thornapple Kellogg Board of Education will be Monday, Dec. 13, at 7 p.m. in Room 1616 of the Thomapple Kellogg Middle School. *** I lb ■ E3511 I • n itkh SM»! 3t TK students receive AP Scholar Awards I '-i; Caledonia’s Public Access Cable TV Now Charter Channel Caledonia Community Cable Corporation 640 Emmons Street P.O.

Only 18 percent of the more than 1.8 million students who have taken AP examinations in May of 2008, performed at a sufficiently high level to earn an AP Scholar Award. Alex DeVries and Tyler Rafferty qualified for AP Scholar with Distinction granted to students who receive an average grade of at least 3.5 on all AP exams and have taken at least five AP tests. Eli Bergsma, Kelly Chisholm and Ben Dickerson qualified for AP Scholar with Honor which is granted to students who receive an average grade of 3.25 for all AP exams taken and grades of 3 or higher on four or more AP tests. Dominic Bierenga, Travis Boersma, Trevor Dalton, Matthew Davidson, Caroline Fild, Caitlin Nosanov, Nicholas Scobey and Hannan Stark qualified for the AP Scholar Award, which is merited by earning grades of 3 or higher on three or more AP exams. AP examinations, which students take in May after completing college-level courses at their high schools, are graded on a five-point scale (5 is the highest). Most of the nation's colleges and universities award credit, advanced placement, or both for grades of 3 or higher. More than 1,400 institutions award a year of credit to students presenting a sufficient number of qualifying grades. A total of 32 AP examinations are offered in 18 subject areas, each consisting of multiple-choice and •It free-response (essay or problem-solving) questions. 1Thomapple Kellogg High School currently offers 11 Advanced Placement classes including literature, composition, U.S. history, government, calculus, chemistry. physics, computer science. biology, economics and music theory. lilt i §7 ft' K ’’ sss �IS X A • The Sun and News, Saturday, November 13, 2010/ Page 3 Cooking class to focus Thornapple Township reviews election results on holiday appetizers L' "W; :;S 'J.H NhB .

Of course, depending on your plan, you may also be able to make changes in your 401(k) at other times in the year. During open enrollment, you'll also want to look at your insurance choices. Your employer may offer a certain amount of life insurance, and possibly disability insurance, at no cost. Clearly, this cov­ erage can be beneficial — but is it enough to meet your family’s needs? To answer this question, you’ll need to review at least three key areas of your fami­ ly’s finances: • Debts — Try to calculate your overall debt load — mortgage, car payments, credit cards and so on. • Education — If you are planning on helping your children pay for college, try to estimate these costs. Keep in mind the considerable dif­ ferences in expenses between colleges: public versus pri­ vate and in-state versus outof-state. Keep in mind that college costs have been ris­ ing faster than the overall cost of living. • Income replacement — Try to determine about how much of your income would need to be replaced for your family to maintain its cunent lifestyle. Once you've made these r f r J Use ‘open enrollment’ to help meet financial goals November is a popular month for “open enrollment" — that time when you can choose from the options offered in your employer's benefits package. By making the right moves in some key areas — such as your 401 (k) and life insurance — you can help protect your family and boost your progress toward your long-term financial goals. Let's consider your 401 (k) first. If you haven’t taken part in your 401(k) plan, you need to review the benefits of this excellent retirement-sav­ ings vehicle. First, you con­ tribute pre-tax dollars to your 401(k), so the more you put in, the lower your adjusted gross income — and the lower your annual tax bill. Also, your 401(k) earnings accumulate on a tax-deferred basis. Furthermore, your employer may offer a match­ ing contribution, and if you're not participating in your plan or not putting in enough to earn the match, you're essentially leaving money “on the table." So, if you're not already investing in your 401 (k), now is the time to get started. And if you've already been putting money in your 401(k), you may want to use the open enrollment period to increase your contributions or to rebalance your invest­ ment choices in response to HeL * J * I • ' II •• — - -— r * * m types of calculations, you'll be in a better position to <1 i I I know if the life and disability coverage offered by your 4 employer is sufficient to meet your needs.

The Bib Restaurant, locat­ ed on Patterson Road at 11 126 Ave. in the Gun Lake area, is holding its second annual Thanksgiving feast frOm 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 25. “Fall has long been known as a time of harvest and bounty. For some this year, the ongoing economic strug­ gles or personal reasons, it will be hard to give thanks," said owner Ossie Martinez. “We have offered this for more than 10 years in our Big O Cafes in the Grand Rapids area. With the help of our friends and neighbors, we hope to make it a suc­ cessful Thanksgiving for everyone." The Bib will also deliver dinners to those who can’t come to the restaurant. “We will be happy to deliver meals to the senior citizens and shut-ins in the area," he said. Martinez stresses that the free Thanksgiving dinner isn’t just for the poor, “it’s for everyone." For more information about the free Thanksgiving feast, call 269-793-8181. Martinez would also like those who would like to volunteer to help with the feast to call him at the above num­ ber as well. The Middleville United Methodist Church will be sponsoring the second annu­ al "Community Thanksgiving Dinner" from noon until 3 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 25 from noon until 3 p.m. “We will be serving a tra­ ditional Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings," said organizer Tom Miller. “There is no charge for the dinner, as all the food is donated by the church, com­ munity and local business­ es." Last year’s dinner was attended by about 150 peo­ ple. “We would like to increase that number this year. With the economy still in poor shape we know that it is a struggle for some to pro­ vide a full meal for their fam­ ily, and there are a lot of peo­ ple who will be alone on this holiday,” Miller said. “Our hope is that we can share our blessings with them. We will also be pro­ viding rides for those who need transportation this year also,” he said. Anyone who would like to donate food, help with serving or transporting peo­ ple to and from the church or for more information about the dinner can contact Sue Rietman at the Middleville UMC, 269-795-9266.

Mary Jean Lamoreaux Village Clerk The complete minutes may be read at the Village Hall, 9 AM to 5 PM, M-F. 06731114 Again, the first issue raised was the presence of only one bid. Erskine began the discussion saying he w anted the DPW employees to do the shoveling. In his view, shoveling snow' on the village hall walks and the public walk should be part of their jobs. He said he had checked the costs of self-pnopelled snow- blowers with electric starters ($950 to $1,000) with Caledonia Rental and Tractor Supply in Hastings; costs for blowers that were not self-propelled were about $449. He noted that for the price of the Bykerk bid. the village could have its own equipment. “What happened to the snow blower we bought w ith the township?” he asked. Gilbert noted that in the spring the council h a d approved an increase in the tax rate in order to save jobs and avoid wage cuts. Williamson said the coun­ cil had told the downtown merchants that the village would no longer pay for shoveling the walks in front of their businesses. • Ayers interjected that the shoveling had been arranged by the village to make it easi­ er for the DPW to pick up the snow for removal. She agreed to investigate the history and whereabouts of the jointly purchased snow blower. A motion to investigate the whereabouts of the blow­ er was approved 4-0. Rezoning f a parcel owned by Seif Chevrolet from C-1 to C-2 to permit the construction of a new body shop on the property was reviewed by Ron Van Singel. He said the proposal was consistent with the vil­ lage master plan in recom­ mending the infilling of existing space before adding new property to a zoning dis­ trict. It also would allow the dealership to remain on its current site. Noting that village plan­ ning consultant Mark Sisson had recommended rezoning the property, Williamson said. “I would have a hard time coming up with a rea­ son not to rezone the proper­ ty ” Gilbert commented that the dealership was a corner­ stone business in the com­ munity. and Hahn said more jobs would be created. The rezoning was approved unanimously. Other items of official business were dispatched by the council: the reappoint­ ment of Harrison to another two-year term as treasurer and of Ayers to another twoyear term as village clerk. Both motions were approved unanimously. Williamson said Harrison had brought considerable skills and ideas to the office of treasurer and Ayers had continued to pro­ vide significant administra­ tive support and skills to the running of the village. The council also renewed Sisson's contract as planning consultant for another year on the same terms as his cur­ rent contract. Williamson opened the council comment period, saying. “It has been a great six years in a great village and with great councils. I have seen several members. Dan Erskine has been the anchor with at least 20 years of service. I came into the job not knowing what to expect, Businesses have grown ... We have an awesome staff and consultants. We are in good hands with Glenn (Gilbert]. “It is time for fresh ideas and leadership. I pass the said gavel to you,” Williamson to Gilbert. “I have big shoes to fill. Gilbert responded. Williamson concluded, “I thank the community for its support. I moved here 16 years ago and it is the best move I ever made.” The next meeting of the council will be Monday, Dec. 13, at 7 p.m. in the vil­ lage hall. * I > ’ ft f Local voter turnout slightly higher than state average According to the secretary of state office, approximately 45 percent of registered voters cast ballots in the general election Tuesday.

Thornapple Kellogg sen­ ior Allyson Winchester earned her fourth state medal, scoring her second runner-up finish with a new personal record time of 17 minutes 42.4 seconds at the Division 2 State Finals in Brooklyn Saturday. She was beaten out by Zeeland West’s Rachele Schulist, who won in 17:39.7. “The whole race I was on her heels,” Winchester said, “then she started to pull away, then I made it up. I decided to take the lead with a little bit left (about 250 meters), but that only lasted Thornapple Kellogg’s Dustin Brummel (717) works his way through the crowd at for five seconds.

The finish line is in sight. “I was just anxious I guess,” Winchester said. “I thought I had it, but realized there was a lot further left.” Winchester’s previous PR was set her sophomore sea­ son, when she placed second at the state finals. She was happy though to see that her time was faster than her older sister Rebecca’s colle­ giate PR at Grand Valley State University. “She literally gave every­ thing she had,” TK head coach Tammy Benjamin said. “It was a great race.” Winchester's teammate Casey Lawson, a sopho­ more, had a great race too, scoring her first state medal in her second appearance in the finals. She placed 21st in 18:38.6. The top 30 in each race at MIS Saturday earned state medals. “I just ran a smart race,” Lawson said. “I took from last year and thought about J all sorts of things I should have done.” “The start definitely (was one spot where experience helped), just get out %nd go and then try to conserve a lit­ tle bit for the end. I knew that was going to be the hardest part just because so many girls are pushing and trying to move up spots.” It’s the first time the Trojan girls' team has had two runners earn state medals in the same year since 2001. “They were just ready to face," Benjamin said. “I saw it at the regional meet, and this week in our training. This week we ran a hard five-mile Wednesday and I told them I thought ‘there’s nothing else you can do.’ “I would have been disap­ pointed if they both weren’t up there (on the medal stand).” Grand Rapids Christian’s Julia Bos, who was fourth overall in 17:48.3, led her team to the state champi­ onship. The Eagles finished with just 111 points. Hamilton was a close second with 116 points, followed by East Grand Rapids 177, East Lansing 202, Forest Hills Eastern 220, Cedar Springs 236, Otsego 246, Ionia 274, Mt.

Three of the cyclist uxjk first place in their age divi­ sion in this event which attracted 3500 cyclists. Neither snow nor sleet nor freezing temps kept riders at bay. Rider Jerry Mathias says. The Tuesday Night Riders from the Middleville area cleaned up in the medals at the 21 st Annual Iceman Cometh Challenge.” This event is touted at the largest mountain bike race in the country, this year more than 3500 riders from across the United States participat- ed in the 29 mile race from Kalkaska to Traverse City.. Out of the 20 TNR riders that participated in the race, eight riders placed in their respec­ tive age groups. Iceman 2010 was longer than 29.5 miles and it was 24 degrees at the start. In addi­ tion there were snow flakes and brisk winds challenging the riders. There was ice and snow on the course as well. The TNR cyclists are list­ ed by name, the time they took to finish the course and their place in their class. There were 3063 men and 438 women riders who fin­ ished the course.

This means the average resident will experience an increase in the quarterly bill for sewer from $72 to $84. There is no usage charge for sewage. The board's action has no effect on village resi­ dents. who arc subject to a rcadiness-to-serve charge levied by the village. The decision to increase the charge for sewer service is the result of a study conduct­ ed by township treasurer Richard Robertson. The study explains what is covered the concept ol readiness-to-serve. namely fixed I costs in the system that do not go away even when property is vacant; there is no seasonal disconnect for water and sewer service. Similarly, while water is easy to meter and add a com­ modity charge to the RTS fee, as Robertson wrote, "...it is not feasible and cost effective to accurately meter sewage flows directly.’’ Robertson went on to say that sewage flow determina­ tions in most communities are based on waler usage as measured by the water why meter. That is Caledonia bills the residen­ tial customer on the basis of Equivalence Residential Units (REUs); these arc assumed to be 200 gallons a day for a family of four. The other factor for choosing to use the REU in Caledonia is the absence of public water in some areas where sewer service is present. Revenues from the water system continues to be ade­ quate to fund costs for the 2011 budget year, but that is not true for the sewer sys­ tem. In 2009. the last year for which full audited numbers were available, the total rev­ enue from the sewer system was $579,089; total operat­ ing expenses, including non­ cash depreciation, were $830,677. thus an operating loss of $251,588. Even after reconciliation there is a net cash decrease of $29,335. According to Robertson, and most authorities, fund balances should contain between three and six months of operating expen­ ditures. On that basis. Robertson feels water rates arc adequate since there are currently five months of operating and maintenance funds available. r J j > ST It But the sewer system is a different story. According to Robertson, the balance in the sewer system has been declining over the last three years. A somewhat tempo­ rary recovery has occurred, but he notes that the recovery is due to the deferral of some expenditures. necessary Some significant repairs that were not contemplated as part of the regular system maintenance have occurred. For example, four repairs in Jasonville between 2005 and 2008 came to $82,250. Expansion of the infiltration bed at the Campau-Ketlle Wastewater Treatment Plant $40,000. in 2009 was Replacement of the Foremost lift station pump in 2009 was $19,750 and the rehabilitation of nine man- ■ kt TO ■J PLUMMERS • DISPOSAL SEMC S' vat i7 616-261-4344 On the water side, while all is well for the 2011 budg­ et vear Robertson notes that an additional wellfield. because of the deterioration of the north water wells, and a plant to treat w ater emerg­ ing from a new wellfield could cost over a million dol­ lars requiring a revenue bond to fund the project. Sites for a new wellfield are being considered and reviewed, an alternative is to become a w holesale water customer ot the city of Wyoming. The issue is the extent to which the township would have to give up self-determination in its water system; in other words, is the possible sav­ ings enough to offset the possible disadvantages? Planning underway for Middleville Christmas parade j > holes in 2009 was $18,000. In a lengthy footnote. Robertson commented that his capital improvement pro­ jections do not include (he need to eventually increase the capacity of the Village of Wastewater Caledonia Treatment Plant, which Plant. treats a significant amount of township waste water and the addition to the water system of another well field and a water plant. treatment Expansion of the Village plant is the financial respon­ sibility of the township since it is their growth that neces­ the sitates the expansion. Currently the fund for expan­ sion is funded by new con­ nections to the system with a $400 set-a-side; the balance in the fund is $346.1 (X) as of July 31,2010.

County Sheriff's Department. » larry County Recreation and Parks Committee.

The trail is being built in segments to eventually con­ nect from Vermontville to Grand Rapids. Much ot the Barry trail runs next to the Thomapple River. Currently, the trail is complete from Middleville south to Irving, with another segment start­ ing al Hastings’ Tyden Park, leading north. The Rutland segment would extend the trail length between the established Middleville and Hastings trails. Former Barry County Commissioner Mark Englerth. one of the key fig­ ures in construction of the Barry County Animal Control building, is facing formal charges of animal cruelty after he allegedly drowned a cat. Hastings Police officers investigated the incident after receiving an anony­ mous phone call Sept. 5. The caller was concerned that Englerth was going to exter­ minate the animal captured in a live trap in one of his rental properties. An officer made initial contact with Englerth by phone, asking him about the cat. The officer was told that Englerth had just finished drowning the animal. The officer proceeded to the property and met with the suspect. According to the officer. Englerth said he was try ing to leach the cat how to swim, but was unsuccessful. Englerth said he had tried to resuscitate the cat. but failed in his attempts. The officer was then shown the dead cal lying on the tailgate of the suspect’s truck. The investigation was turned over to a special pros­ ecutor due to Englcrth’s pre­ vious ties to Barry County authorities. Charges were authorized by the Calhoun County Prosecutor’s office, acting as a special prosecu­ tor. Englerth turned himself in to authorities Nov. 18 and has since been released on a personal recognizance bond. He previously served as commissioner for District 6. which includes a portion of Orangeville Township and Yankee Springs Township.

Patriotism, dependability, leadership — the Daughters of the American Revolution Award has long stood for such qual­ ities that are found within its Thornapple recipients. Kellogg High School's Dominic Bierenga has been named the recipient of this honor. Bierenga is involved in many activities at TKHS such as National Honor Society, jazz band, Thornapple Arts Council Jazz Festival All-Star Band, Science Olympiad, Teens Against Tobacco Use, as well as drama and being a member of the cross country team. In his spare time, Bierenga enjoys being active at his church in The Rising Band, and being a leader in the middle school youth group. He also arranges and com­ •A poses music for his own jazz sextet and occasionally gives saxophone lessons. ierenga plans to attend Central Michigan University to major in music education and music composition. After college, he would like to apply to The Juilliard School to pursue a perform­ ance degree. His career goal is be to become a jazz musi­ cian and bring awareness back to the genre of jazz. He is the son of Timothy and Catherine Bierenga. Following selection as the DAR award winner, he received a sealed envelope with the topic of this year’s DAR essay. His essay, “Our American Heritage and Our Responsibility for Preserving It," was sent on to the DAR for further consideration. a Caring Dentistry for Children & Adults Dominic Bierenga Our American heritage and our responsibility for preserving it by Dominic Bierenga The phrase, “American heritage" is somewhat com­ plex. America, as everyone has been told, is truly a melt­ ing pot of the cultures of the world. Everyone who comes to America adds his or her heritage to the long story of this nation. However, it is this diversity that unifies Americans, and for that rea­ son, creates a veritable American heritage. The word “heritage" is from the Latin prefix, “herit" meaning “to be passed down." Although individuals’ customs pertaining to their ethnic background are passed down, these factors contribute only part of a per­ son’s heritage. Past experi­ ences and personal histories are part of that individual’s heritage also, and when cul­ tural backgrounds are fused with personal ones, a new heritage is formed. On a micro-scale, America herself can be compared to an individual, whose past experiences and cultural backgrounds are that of all her people, combining to form one huge heritage that is distinctively her own. Less technically, one can see that distinctive American heritage by looking at America's past. One particu­ lar facet that comes to mind is Americans fascination with baseball. Beginning in the 1920s, Americans of every background flocked to watch baseball; it was even coined “America’s favorite pastime.” This game was probably derived from crick­ et. popular in the British Isles. Another prime exam­ ple of American heritage is her citizens' fairly recent love for the hamburger, originally from Germany. An instance of something created here is jazz music, undoubtedly earning a part of our heritage. America will have no problem preserving her heritage and neither will her cit­ izens. She will do so by the same means through which she gained one in the first place: by continuing to add to it. Immigrants still pour into this country, continually adding bits and pieces of their heritage to America’s, keeping the wheels of diversity turning. After all, her roots lie in diversity, so her heritage must also. In this way, because America's history is shaped by all those who enter, and because her unity is formed directly from her citizens’ diversity, she has — and will keep — a heritage that is truly her own. 1 J 'll r i la * I).

Members of all four classes used their talents Nov. 16 to create a paper quilt for each organization by creating paper squares. The four classes also donated their “treasure" through a dona­ tion to their organization Nov. 16. The fifth grade stu­ dents then enjoyed cider and doughnuts and had a chance to ta]k with YAC members. Students in classes taught by Molly Formsma and Beth Bauer selected Barry County Animal Control. Heather Piotrowski told the students that Animal Control would use the donations to buy dog food and treats for animals there. Students Laura in DeWitt's selected class Barry County Child Abuse Prevention Council. Karen Jousma told students she would use their donations to buy crib sheets. which includes essays from Barry County residents on how, why and what they do to give back. One of the four lessons involved students first inter­ viewing two local charities and selecting one as their project. Students asked each presenter serious questions before votes were taken. YAC members also learned that the most suc­ cessful presentations were those that made sense to stu­ dents in fifth grade and their understanding of the needs of the community. The YAC members, under the guidance of former TK teacher Barry and Community Foundation vol­ unteer Celeste Wolverton, helped the students learn that philanthropy means giving of time, talent and treasure. Students in Curt Wissink's class selected Barry County 4-H to receive their funds. Kathy Walters Suratt told students that their donations would go to help 4-H reach out to even more children in the county. This program was funded l he through the Barry Community Foundation.

(Photo by Patricia Johns) and Lauren Borrink. In the back row > by Patricia Johns Staff Writer Composer Ryan Nowlin has created a new piece of music, “Mid-American Sketches,” for the Thornapple Kellogg High School band. They will be performing this new work in a ^ree concert, open to the public, at 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 21 in the new TKHS fine arts center. “Composed in three movements, this work’s intention is to capture the spirit of the Middleville community and celebrate the opening of a new state of the art facility - a project that trulY brought the community together,” Nowlin has written. “After reviewing a myriad °f photographs of the com­ munity, its architecture, and its citizens, as well as several conversations with Ray Rickert, the director of the high school band, I was struck by a clear sense of the importance of family, of togetherness. This sense of heritage and home is a hall­ mark of the Midwest and Middle-America and serves as the inspiration for all three movements of the work.” The first movement, New Horizons serves as a celebra­ tion not only of the new facility, but also as a tribute to the many people who have established their lives and started their families in Middleville. The second movement, Home, portrays a sense of pride, reverence, security, and affection. Whether home, away, or abroad, there is a common connection to middle America that is a constant source of warmth. The final movement, Tomorrows, embodies the spirit of the future, of new possibilities as well as a dance-like celebration of community. Nowlin holds both his bachelor and master’s degrees from Bowling Green State University. He current­ ly teaches instrumental music in the BrecksvilleBroadview Heights School - Ryan Nowlin District in Ohio where he directs the high school wind ensemble, marching band, jazz ensemble, symphonic band, eighth grade band and assists with the seventh grade band. Nowlin was also an instructor in conducting and band scoring at Bowling Green State University. He serves as a staff arranger for the Kansas State University Marching Band as well as the BGSU Falcon Marching Band, In the summer of 2010, Nowlin auditioned for and was appointed to the post of staff arranger for the President’s own ■ United States Marine Band in Washington, DC. He is an active composer and arranger, and has been commissioned to write for first through sixth grade con­ cert bands, brass quintet, tuba quartet, horn ensemble, and solo horn and piano. His “A Christmas Fanfare” is featured as the opening piece on The Tower Brass's CD “Snowed In Again.” His 4 “Elegy (for Herbert A. Spencer)” premiered in 2005 at the 37th International Horn Society Summer Symposium by Grammy Award winner Andrew Pelletier. His numerous awards include the James Paul Kennedy Music Achievement Award, the Mark and Helen Kelly Band Award, as well as the Faculty Excellence Award for his work at BGSU. He is a mem­ ber of Pi Kappa Lambda, MENC, ASCAP, and the International Hom Society. He also holds honorary memberships in Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma. Nowlin is a much sought after guest conductor and adjudicator. His publications can be found at the Neil A.

Instead, you’ll want to keep your long-term investment plan intact — in all economic environments. The possibility of a dou­ ble-dip recession makes great headlines. But such events have been rare. In fact, we’ve seen only one double-dip recession in the past 77 years. However, this history hasn’t stopped gloomy forecasters from predicting a double-dip in 1991 (it didn’t happen) and in 2003 (when it didn’t hap­ pen again). Will wc again avoid the double-dip recession this time? It’s dangerous to make predictions, but it seems more likely that what we’re really experiencing is a “soft patch" in the economic recovery as retail sales remain weak, consumer con­ fidence is low and unemploy­ ment remains high.

But if you’re constantly disrupting your portfolio’s balance by reacting to short-term events, you’ll have a much harder time achieving your objeclives.

An ad hoc committee has been meeting since early September to determine how best to convince Internet providers of the need for high-speed Internet connec­ tions in rural parts of Barry County. Irving, Thomapple, Woodland and Yankee Springs are including the sur­ vey in the tax bills or receipts. Anyone who does not receive a survey may go to the website www.barrycounty.org to get a copy. One side of the survey also defines high-speed Internet terms. Carlton Township is print­ ing a condensed version of the questionnaire in its town­ ship newsletter and referring residents to the Barry County website for additional infor­ mation. In addition. Committee Chair Lynette Wingeier suggested that local residents go to www.computermi.org to take the survey at that site. This will keep the informa­ tion about where high-speed Internet is available in Barry County accurate and up to date. The survey asks how resi­ dents would use high-speed Internet if it were available. It also asks what they might be willing to pay to receive the service. “Answering this question is not a commitment,” said Wingeier. “Internet service is a personal household deci­ sion and not related to ’ taxes.” The committee wants to learn how serious area residents‘ are about getting to access high-speed Internet, and cost is one part of the equation. Completing 3 I . — —- f •ll — * w. •. * « the survey does not guaran­ tee high-speed Internet will become available, but gives the committee an indication of the interest level and the demand within the commu­ nity. Those returning the survey are asked to include the name of the township where they live and their street address. Their name, telephone and e-mail address are optional. Some concern has been raised over the survey asking for the name and address of the homeowner. “Names and addresses will not be released to companies,” said Wingeier. “However, addresses are very important so that the committee can plot on a map where residents live who want to connect.” The more people in an area wanting the service, the greater the impact will be when the committee contacts Internet providers, she said. Residents should return the surveys to their respec­ tive township offices in per­ son or by mail before Jan. 31, 2011. The task force is made up of local residents volunteer­ ing their time. This survey is not a property tax issue nor is it funded with tax dollars. The Barry County Economic Development Authority paid for printing of the surveys.

Jesse Asanin-Miroux's goal in the 55th minute of play was all Davenport need­ ed to claim its second ever WHAC Tournament Title and first ever berth in the NAIA National Tournament. DU defeated rival Aquinas 1 -0 on the road for the tour­ nament crown. Davenport and Aquinas entered Saturday’s WHAC Championship game after a trilling overtime game two weekends ago in’the final regular season game for both teams. The Saints prevailed 4-3 in that game to claim a share of the WHAC title, but it was the Panthers who got the leg up in the rivalry with the 1 -0 win to advance to the NAIA National Tournament. The first half saw very limited chances from each team as the Panthers created a great opportunity late but a header from Alex Boehm just missed high and the score remained 0-0 heading into the locker room. DU outshot the Saints 7-5 but each only had one chance on net with the keeper coming up with the save both times. Starting the second half, DU was able to possess the ball deep in the Saints end and seemed to go on top with a goal from Jesse AsaninMiroux early but off-sides negated the shot and the Saints escaped with the score still tied 0-0. The Panthers then finally broke through after numer­ ous chances when Alex Boehm partnered with Damian Goncalves to send a ball through to AsaninMiroux who beat the Aquinas keeper and put Davenport on top 1-0 with 35:05 to play. * 1*7 B z-l 4*.1' safe1 I LliSC.V liV 111 « art: '■’fan tsstbn Mnii ki ® |ffl hit« I Graphics We Have a Colorful Solution I • •• Whether your printing needs are complex color brochures or simple black and white forms, let J-ad Graphics design, print and deliver quality printed materials you'll be proud of.

O’Brien finished the game with three saves and cement­ ed himself as the league’s best defensive player by making a clutch save late to help DU claim its second tournament championship in program history. The other title came in 2005, the first year for men’s soccer at Davenport.

They also tend to con­ sume 3,000 to 4,500 calories per person. Should giving thanks be about gluttony? Many people are interested in lower-fat, lower-calorie options for Thanksgiving meals that don't take away from the traditions of the holiday. It's possible to cook and serve foods that are healthier and offer the spirit of Thanksgiving, Let’s examine traditional fare and some alternatives that are healthier. * Traditional: Turkey and stuffing. Alternative: Turkey that has been roasted or cooked on a rotisserie so that the excess fat drips off. Turkey itself tends to be lean. Avoid basting the turkey with butter and remove the skin upon serving. Do not stuff the turkey with bread dressing, which tends to be fat-laden. Also, from a food safety standpoint, a raw turkey could infuse salmonella or other bacteria into the stuff­ ing during cooking. Traditional: Candied sweet potatoes and marshmallows. Alternative: Forget the butter, brown sugar and marshmallow topping on sliced sweet potatoes. Instead, serve sweet potatoes in their natural glory, baked and sprinkled with a little cinnamon and nutmeg for extra flavor. TraditionakGravy made from pan drippings. Alternative: Gravy made from a low-fat broth. Why douse turkey and fixings with extra calories? A light au jus will provide flavor and a little extra moisture to the bird. Traditional: Cheese and buttery crackers platter. Alternative: Fresh vegeta­ bles and a light dip. The rec­ ommended daily serving of cheese is one ounce. People tend to graze on Thanksgiving, eating much more than an ounce of cheese. Plus, they're pairing the cheese with fattening crackers. Instead, offer sliced fresh vegetables and a dip made of low-fat sour cream. If crackers are served, choose whole grain varieties. Traditional: Bread stuff­ ing. Alternative: Fruit stuffing. Whip up a batch of stuffing that is much more about fruit than the bread and butter. Use cubed whole-wheat bread and slices of apples, pears, cranberries, raisins, and any other in-season fruits. Wet with a low-calorie broth and bake until browned. For even more flair, bake in individual muf­ fin cups so that portions are clearly identified. * Traditional: Fruit pies, such as pumpkin and apple. Alternative: A buttery. flaky crust is certainly deli­ cious, but it can pack even more calories on the end of a meal. Serve cobblers that are much more fresh fruit and much less crust and extra calories. Better yet, simply serve a platter of refreshing fruit slices.

Starting Jan. 1, 2011, the per -quarter debt service charge will be $7.48, up from $5.76; the readiness-toserve charge will be $10.58, up from $9.54; and the com­ modity charge will be $1.54 per 1,000 gallons used. Interim Village Manager Geoff Moffat reminded the council that there will still be a deficit even with the new water rates. Council member Shannon Endsley, the only member to vote against the water rate hike, said she was concerned about the water loss within the village. Council member Sue Merrill told everyone that this was a difficult issue, but looking at the commodity charge, those who purchase a liter of water at the supermarket sometimes pay more than village residents pay for a 1,000 gallons. All seven council mem­ bers voted for the sewer rate hikes. Starting on Jan. 1, 2011, the sanitary debt serv­ ice charge will be $39.70 per quarter. The readiness-toserve charge will be $16.61, and the commodity charge •» • • I V T •> BE I f "I •M Gt *1 A -'C k.

The Kent County Sheriffs Office responded to an armed robbery complaint on Morse Lake Avenue in Caledonia Township Sept. 3. The vic­ tims told deputies they were robbed by individuals with guns who identified them­ selves as the “Alto police." In a press release from the In a press l___ sheriff’s office, detectives said the incident appears to William Stanley Wilson III William Stanley Wilson Jr. have occurred over a scrap metal business deal. Kent County detectives investigated the case and turned the findings over to the Kent County Prosecutor’s The prosecutor Office, ;authorized charges for rob- bery while armed and conspiracy to commit armed robbery. The two men were arrested Nov. 17 by Kent County detectives and were lodged at the Kent County Jail. The Caledonia Township Board of Trustees had many questions for Nick Ungar, Caledonia chair of Community Cable Corporation, who presented his 2011 budget proposal of $97,000 during the Nov. 17 township board meeting. Unsar informed the board that Channel 98 had found a new home at 8909 Cherry Valley Ave. and that follow­ ing negotiations with Charter Communications, they were prepared to move from the current space at 640 Emmons St. He said they needed $12,000 immediately for connecting to the fiber optic broadcast line at the new location. The cost of moving the line is $8 per foot and there are 1,500 feet of line to be moved. Ungar went on to say that he and others had donated equip­ ment to the station and that they were actively lookin a for other revenue. He reviewed an arrange­ ment with Davenport University whereby the sta­ tion provides equipment to film basketball games and the school provides six paid student interns to do the actual work. Trustee Dale Hermenet questioned the $13,000 annual rent for the new space. Richard Treasurer Robertson, who was presiding in the absence of Supervisor Bryan Harrison, indicated that he would pre­ fer to consider the budget as a total. He noted that in 2010, the township had budgeted $73,000 for the station; he also said that the money would be disbursed from franchise funds as they are received. The funds are treat­ ed as general fund revenue; that is, not all of the fran­ payments chise fund received from Charter are earmarked for Channel 98. Ungar resumed respond­ ing to the rent question posed by Hermenet, saying that the rent at 640 Emmons had been $450 a month plus util­ ities; the new space, at $1,100 a month, was the cheapest he could rind. Ungar added that the land­ lord was a fan of the channel and the space was also desir­ able because its location at the periphery of the village made it easier to connect to Charter. Trustee Greg Zoller asked how much space they had at the new location and was told that it was 1,600 square feet.

Frank Fiala, chair of the commission, said his first objective was to schedule as early as possible a joint meetings of the township board »!• of trustees, the zoning board of appeals and the commission. Members of the commis­ sion agreed that the joint meeting held in the spring had been fruitful and useful. Commissioner Greg Purcell was absent with leave. Other objectives for the commission are to finish updating the gravel-mining ordinance, reviewing the wind turbine ordinance, completing an ordinance related to outbuildings, establishing standards for portable businesses, creating an administrative review for process charitable fundraising sales, and reviewing signage in the Chief Noonday Corridor. Eliciting a significant amount of discussion is the desire of the commission to ______ r r have planner Greg Milliken or a substitute present at planning commission meet­ ings. The township board has questioned the cost of plan­ ning services. Members of the commission once again expressed the view that Milliken's presence was valuable. Al Schwennesen, trustee and board liaison to the com­ mission, said, “Greg has a vast amount of knowledge of what is going on in other communities, and he brings that to us. Greg and [town­ ship zoning administrator] Bob Lippert have reduced our legal fees.” Fiala commented that Milliken was helpful and compatible with members of the commission. Schwennesen, reporting to the commission on the previ­ ous week’s board of trustees meeting, said that the sub­ committee on the open-burn­ ing ordinance would meet Nov. 23. The board also was considering the purchase of a generator for the water tower and had discussed remodel­ ing and expanding the town­ ship hall. Recyclables out­ side the roll-off container continue to be an issue; names and addresses were located, and letters have been sent to the people.

A draft of a proposed administrative procedure for charitable organizations to be able to get around the cur­ rent requirements for spe­ cial-exception use permits was discussed. Commissioners agreed the draft was too restrictive; Cook recommended retain­ ing safe entry and exit and adequate parking from the checklist. The commission contin­ ued its review of the revision of the township gravel min­ ing ordinance. The review consisted of minor changes to wording in some sections. During the public com­ ment period, resident Shane Vandenberg objected to the tendency to pass ordinances that he feels are unnecessary and represent a further intru­ sion of government into peo­ ple’s lives and activities. Bill Baughman rose to say that an area was being filled in and did not have a silt fence. He was informed that a judge had issued an order permit­ ting the activity and there was nothing the township could do about it. The next meeting of the commission is scheduled for Thursday, Dec. 16, at 7 p.m. in township hall, 284 N. Briggs Road. g x> — EN NOCk Hospice * ;’ x ?

On the positive side, Moffat reviewed a budget amendment for the 2010 budget which shows approx­ imately $60,000 in savings, mostly due to salary reduc­ tions. The council approved this budget amendment. On another more positive side, council approved a donation by the Downtown Development Authority of $1,100 to install an ice skat­ ing rink at Calvin Hill Park. Calvin Hill Park, behind Middleville the United Methodist Church, is not in the DDA area, which is why the donation was necessary. Sheryl Ayriss, a member of the DDA, told council that several parents came to the DDA to ask for a winter activity and suggested an ice skating rink. The temporary rink will be installed by volunteers with •1.1 • I * i Li 1 dren and adults into the streets. Council members discussed how to enforce ordinances without negative­ ly impacting elderly resi­ dents. Neder and council member Mike Lytle both said they help their neighbors in clear­ ing snow from nearby side­ walks. Neder said he will work up a small announcement to give to residents in his area who do not clear their side­ walks. He will bring it in to the village office to review before making copies to dis­ tribute. The council then had to consider two more difficult issues. Bill Kenyon brought concerns about this year's permit for the Christmas parade and a suggestion on how to bring snowmobiles back to the village. The Middleville Lions the assistance of the village's department of public works. Ayriss said that the DDA decided to purchase good, rot-resistant lumber for the frame with a plastic liner. The rink will be installed over the basketball court at Calvin Hill. “Parent volunteers have already begun preparing the court for the rink,” Ayriss told the council. This will be a “skate at your own risk" and during daylight hours only, since there are no lights in the area. The board also heard from Guenther Neder asking that the village enforce its snow removal ordinance. The ordi­ nance says that sidewalks should be cleared in a timely fashion. Neder explained that he is a runner, and last winter there were several very bad sidewalks that moved chil- Orangeville tree lighting is Saturday Township Orangeville invites everyone who needs a colorful start to the holiday season to the lighting of the township’s Christmas tree refreshments following the tree lighting.

He said the issue is not as critical in Thornapple Township as it is in other communities, but it is still increasing. “You may see attempts to redesign existing plats.” he said. “There are also going to be some affordable-housing issues raised in the next year.” Moffat suggested that get­ ting the joint planning com­ mittee more active may be a goal for the coming year. He also pledged to be more available to help the town­ ship once the new Middleville village manager, Rebecca Fleury, starts in January. He said he hopes to bring her to the planning commission in January to meet the commission mem­ bers. Beyer and members of the ordinance commission's committee are continuing their work of updating Bit forms. Updated forms will be dis­ tributed to the commission to review. Jerry Commissioner Toshalis, who serves on the ad hoc wireless committee, gave an update of a survey that is being distributed to residents in five townships, including Thornapple, with tax bills and receipts. The survey is designed to deter­ mine residents' interest in and need for high-speed Internet. He will report in February on results of the survey which are due on Jan. 31. The next meeting of the Thornapple Township Planning Commission will be Monday, Jan. 24, 2011, at 7 p.m. in the township hall. promise that would allow snowmobile riders to shop and dine in the village. The issue will go to the parks and property commit­ tees to discuss with Kenyon and will be brought back to a future council meeting. Members of the parks and recreation committee contin­ ue to work on revisions to rental rates for Spring and Stagecoach parks. “We are trying to be fair, said Merrill. “We are look­ ing at rates for residents and non-residents." Committee member Phil VanNoord said, "We do need to look at the condition of the bathroom area at Spring Park before setting rates.” The East Side Lift Station rebuilding should begin Monday, Dec. 6. However, Moffat told council that the village did not receive any bids for the initial bond offering. He has met with Chemical Bank, and all ques­ tions have been answered. He said he believes that the bank will provide an offer to the village for the capital improvement bond. The village will hold a special meeting at 5 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 30, to discuss the bond offer. Once the bonds are approved, work at the lift station can go for­ ward. At the special meeting, council members also will discuss amendments to the Club was charged $150 for this year’s Christmas parade, set for Dec. 4. The fee has been paid, but Kenyon, a charter member of the Lions Club when it started 50 years ago, told council that he remembers when the police and firemen donated their time for parades. Kenyon told the council that not-for-profit organiza­ tions should not have to pay this fee. He said the Lions Club has done much for the village and its residents, helping with the Memorial Day and Heritage Day parades so that they can take place with the Lions Club’s insurance umbrella over them, Shelley McQueen, a Lions Club member and the direc­ tor of the DDA, asked the council to waive the fee. Kenyon added that the club cannot afford to pay this kind of fee. Following discussion, the issue was sent back to the committee for review. Clerk Jean Lamoreaux explained that the village is now charged by the Barry County Sheriff’s department for the use of reserve officers. Kenyon then presented a plan to bring snowmobiles back to the village. Snowmobiles would not be on village roads where they are not allowed but would be on village property. He told council members he thought this would be a good com- - z*« personnel policies handbook, election dates and setting a 2011 budget hearing date and time, creation of an industrial development dis­ trict and other matters. Council members approved the 2011 meeting schedules for themselves, the planning commission, DDA and Local Development Finance Authority. Due to elections, some of the Tuesday meetings move to Wednesday. The dates will be posted at the village hall.

If you wanted to formalize your charitable gifts and help your estate planning, you might consider establishing a chari­ table remainder trust. Under such an arrangement, you’d place some assets, such as stocks or real estate, in a trust, which could then use these assets to pay you a life­ time income stream. When you establish the trust, you may be able to receive a tax deduction based on the chari­ table group's “remainder interest'' — the amount the charity is likely to ultimately receive. (This figure is deter­ mined by an IRS formula.) Upon your death, the trust would relinquish the remain­ ing assets to the charitable organization you've named. Keep in mind, though, that this type of trust can be com­ plex. To establish one. you'll need to work with your tax and legal advisors. In any case, be generous during this season of giving. You'll be helping a charita­ ble group accomplish its worthy goals — and you may be helping yourself when tax time arrives. Edward Jones, its employ­ ees and financial advisors are not estate planners and can­ not provide tax or legal advice. Please consult your attorney or qualified tax advisor regarding your situa­ tion. HEN NY’S SINCE A NEW PATIENTS WELCOME El tax savings). As you consider your char­ itable gifts, keep the follow­ ing points in mind: • You must donate — not just pledge. You can make a pledge to donate, but the amount is not deductible until you actually pay it. • You must contribute to a qualified charitable group. For your gift to be deductible, it must go to a qualified tax-exempt organi­ zation — either a religious group or a group that has received 501(c)(3) status from the IRS. If you're unsure if the group you want to support is tax-exempt, just ask. • You must itemize. To claim a charitable deduction, you must itemize deductions on your taxes. Thus far, we've talked only tabout cash gifts. But you may have other financial assets, such as stocks, that you can give to charitable groups, and these gifts also can earn you tax benefits. For example, suppose you give $500 worth of stock in XYZ Company to a charitable group. If you're in the 25% tax bracket, you can deduct $125 when you file your taxes for 2010. But by donating the XYZ stock, you avoid paying any capital gains taxes you. might have incurred if you had sold the stock yourself. Making charitable gifts now may help you reduce the size of your estate and poten­ tially lower any future estate tax burden on your heirs.

Focus Feud, a faux game show pul on by Family Links (a PTO-type organization), helped raise money for equipping the school with more educational supplies to enhance the learning experi­ ence, was also a way for the kids to help their school and have fun doing it. The days were broken down by grade, with sixth grade competing on Monday and seventh and eighth on Tuesday. Each grade was then split up into ‘focus classes’ based on their home­ room. Each class' goal was to raise as much money as possible from friends and family to sponsor them dur­ ing the game. If students in a class raised $350, they all received a Caledonia T-shirt, and for every $100 brought in. Five points were added to their game show score. “We've tried sending out donation requests in the past,” said Jaime Blunt, Family Links co-presidcnt. “We sent out letters asking people to send in donations, some and people did respond, but it just wasn't very effective. We decided to put something together that could raise money and get the kids involved. • [• Every middle school stu­ dent participated in the com­ petition which took place in the performing arts center. They could participate in eight categories: language arts, texting, science, history, school rules, math, music and arts, and sports.

Focus classes picked one to four students to represent them in each category. This way. each student had a chance to pick the area where they felt they could do their best. The stage had been set up to add to the atmosphere of competition with school desks, partitions and fun sound effects. Principal Ryan Graham played the Focus Feud host, keeping the excitement and energy up during the hourlong competition. The goal for the fundrais­ ing game show was $350 per focus class. Students were sponsored by families, friends, and in some cases putting their own money toward the fundraising. The more than $5,000 raised is a drastic increase from what was seen in previous years from mailing out donation requests, said Blunt. In the end, Becky Bravata's class took home the trophy for (he sixth graders, Shawn Veitch's class for seventh grade, and Melissa Buck's class for eighth graders. “It was important that the kids help take responsibility for raising the money because this is their school, and this money goes towards making it a better experience for them, said Blunt. “It was great to see how willing they were to reach out and help each other and how excited they were, because this money comes back to them in the form of a better educa­ tion."

Ungar informed the board that by the dint of saving carefully for three years, the board of the company had been able to save enough money to put together a “stu­ dio in a box,” which is thor­ oughly portable and allows the channel to cover many more events. He observed that there were other capital equipment needs as well, specifically a need to upgrade a 7-year-old trans­ mitter. Robertson said he had gone back over the budgets approved for the cable cor­ poration and in 2009, $100,000 had been appropri­ ated but the channel spent only $37,000, and as of Sept. 30 of this year, there was $124,000 in the company’s checkbook. “Why wasn’t the money used?” Robertson asked, adding, “]The| money is not being used for the purpose | for which it was requested] and is just sitting in the bank.” Robertson noted that some money had been spent for computers but that more money had been requested for computers. Ungar explained, saying, “Some stuff wasn't avail­ able. When it became avail­ able, we moved. We need to have back-up funds for oper­ ating. I expect to spend $44,000 this month.” “That leaves $81,000, said Robertson. Ungar replied that the channel had upgraded from analog and was going entire­ ly to digital.

The fol­ lowing weekend, he compet­ ed in Grand Rapids in a 5K and a 10K event. Johncock is actually 82 years old. While the weather is good, he trains several days a week, often with his dog, Weezie. Once the wintry weather moves in, he stops training until the spring weather arrives. Johncock was raised in the area and graduated from Delton Kellogg High School in 1946. He served in the U.S. Navy from 1948 to 1952. He has been married to his wife, Jolene, for more than 50 years. The two of them traveled and did missionary work before returning to Michigan. They lived in the Grand Rapids area from 1984 to 2008 when they returned to the Gun Lake area. They live on eight acres next to the Gun River where Johncock said he enjoys being able to watch the coots and ducks in the river where many spend the winter after the lake has frozen over. When Jerry was 49, three of their five sons told him they wanted to run in a 5K race in Delton. Having been a runner in high school, Johncock told them it was important to train before run­ ning to avoid injury. So he started running with them on their training runs^ One of his sons said. “Dad. you should be in this race, too.” “Maybe next year," was Johncock’s reply. ft 50 True to his word, at age in 1978, he began running in competition. He broke his first national record for running on May 24, 2008, in Traverse City. He completed a marathon in a time of four hours, 11 minutes and 51 seconds. “I was really pumped up,” recalled Johncock. On Oct. 5, 2008, he fin­ ished the Twin Cities Marathon in Minnesota with a time of 3:59:05. “I had a leg cramp, but I knew I had to finish if I wanted to break the fourhour record,” he said. Johncock ran in the Freedom Park, New Year’s Ultra Run at Morganton. N.C., on Dec. 31, 2008. He ran a 50K and finished with a time of 5:36:27, breaking the previous record by 17 min­ utes. This is also called the New Year’s Day Resolution Run. Unfortunately, he has been told that his record has since been erased because the course was measured 50 yards too short. Johncock is planning to go back this year to see if he still can break the record for this 24-hour run where participants can select the distance they want to complete, Johncock has had other record-breaking runs.

Now 82, Johncock started running in races at the age of 50. (Photo by Patricia Johns) Labor Day in 2008, he broke a 30K record with a time of 2:45:26 in Milford. “I might be slowing down a little now, but I still enjoy running,” he said. He is active in his church, the United Brethren in Christ Church near Cloverdale. He sings on the music team and even gets to preach occasion­ ally. Johncock also said he enjoys spending time with his grandchildren. Three live about 600 yards from his home and he sees them fre­ quently. Another two stay with them in the summer and visit during the winter as well. While the weather is good he and Weezie will get in a little training so Johncock can go back to Freedom Park to see if he can reclaim his title on the distance-correct­ ed course.

Land began her remarks, saying that it was a pleasure to be able to swear-in Yonker whom she described as friend of longstanding and a person whose service to the commu­ nity had been outstanding through the years. She administered the oath of office , and he immediately became Rep. Ken Yonker, 72nd House District, although his term of office does not officially begin until January 2011. During a social hour fol­ lowing the ceremony, Yonker iH updated people on his experi­ ences as he attends training and introductory sessions for new office-holders in Lansing. He noted the degree of unanimity in his caucus, noting that they had selected a leader unanimously unlike the last legislative session in 2008 when Democrats had elected their leader by one vote. Jerry Superintendent Phillips introduced James Klomparens, a faculty mem­ ber in the engineering department at Caledonia High School, who demon­ strated some of the products being made by students using a three-dimensional printing program. The program uses ABS plastic to make devices. He held up a working adjustable wrench designed by students. According to Klomparens, the process of designing and making a prototype calls upon skills learned in mathe­ matics and physics classes. He added that the willing­ ness of the board to make the investment in the technology has given Caledonia gradu­ ates an edge in college and university engineering pro­ grams, citing reports from former students who are enrolled in engineering pro­ Michigan at grams Technological University, Michigan Western Grand and University, Valley State University. He also mentioned a working Lego car prototype with 70 parts. David Nemmers, board member, asked how many kids are being impacted by the program. Klomparens replied that all students in the district could be impacted across the entire curriculum. He noted that in another students project, had designed a putter. He also said he was exploring a robotics competition with a colleague at Grandville. 3 Moving on to its regular agenda, the board adopted 19 proposals recommended by NEOLA Inc., a firm special­ izing in the review and cre­ ation of policies for school districts to keep the districts in line with current federal and state regulations. Some of the proposals were new, and others were revisions of existing policies. Phillips explained the new policies. Two referred to public participation at meet­ ings: persons attending a public meeting have the right to videotape the meeting without the consent of the board, and have the right to speak for up to three min­ utes. The board has the right to require speakers to sign up and to limit disruption; how­ ever, a board may not declare someone disruptive because the board does not wish to hear public input on a topic. Two policies prohibit dis­ crimination against students on the basis of disability. A third policy provides that a service animal such as a seeing-eye dog, hearing dog, or personal-assistance dog may attend any school event. Another policy clarifies pay­ ment for the use of the ACT test for student payment; the state pays for the first use of the test for assessment of stu­ dent progress; a student may choose to use the results of the test administered in the junior year and paid for by the state for admission pur­ ~ ses. A student choosing to retake the test for any pur­ pose pays for the test. Several policies regulate relations between the staff and administration of a dis­ trict. Medical files must be separate from personnel files; in other words, infor­ mation in a medical file com­ piled through a group health insurance program cannot be used in promotion and retention decisions or in those related to the granting of leaves. family medical Specifically prohibited is the use of genetics information. Two other policies also pro­ hibit retaliation against employees and professional staff members who choose to exercise their right to appeal a decision, Wireless communication devices also come into play; students are prohibited while on school property from using them for sexual pur­ poses such as inappropriate pictures. Students are also protected against harassment by each other and by staff. ^ONTEMPO r 5aION 7. ——■ il umii-1 — 1 11 — ----- J* 4 & ’ r * > 'J £ * •/ ■ I * ft "4 £■ TKHS food drive aids area residents The Thornapple Kellogg High School National Honor Society collected 1,400 food items that were given to the First Baptist Church of Middleville and the Middleville United Methodist Church for distribution to local families.

Scott Weis, athletic director, introduced Pat Gilles as the new baseball coach, noting that Gilles is not a stranger to the depart­ ment because he also served this past year as an assistant coach for the varsity football team. July Ply and Shannon Lenartz were also hired as co-coaches for the varsity cheer team. Amanda Kozlowski was hired as a receptionist in the adminis­ tration office.

In short, you can't succeed as an investor by putting all your money in one type of asset. You need to spread your resources among stocks, bonds, and cash investments. And even within each of these categories, you need to diversify. For example, try to own a mixture of growth stocks and income-producing stocks; short-term and long% ­ term bonds; and a variety of cash instruments. While diversification, by itself, can’t guarantee profits or protect against loss, it can give you opportunities for potential success and help shield you from severe downturns that, at any given time, primarily affect just one asset class. • Know your risk toler­ ance. If you frequently find yourself surprised, or perhaps dismayed, at the fluctuations in your portfolio, you may be overestimating your risk tol­ erance. If you familiarize yourself with your investments before you buy them — and you should — then you probably shouldn’t be surprised at how they per­ form. So, if you own growthoriented stocks, you need to accept the inevitable short­ term volatility in exchange for potential gains over the long term. But if you’re con­ stantly worried over tempo­ rary setbacks, you may be taking on too much risk for Now that winter is almost here, you probably see “Flu Shots Available’’ signs at many of your local pharma­ cies. Whether or not you decide to get a flu shot depends on your individual situation, of course, but you may benefit from the idea of immunization in other areas of your life — such as your investments. Specifically, you may want to help “immunize” your portfolio, as much as possi­ ble, against some of the volatility we’ve seen in the financial markets over the past couple of years. How can you do this? Here are a few suggestions: • Diversify, diversify, diversify. If you were to only own stocks, your portfolio would, at times, see some big gains — but al other times. you’d take some big hits. If you just owned bonds, you'd probably sec fewer fluctua­ tions than if you just owned stocks — but you'd almost certainly never get the gains you need to help achieve your goals. If you kept all your money in cash instru­ ments, you'd protect your principal, but you'd eventual- K St 1X,'? • c* 2h** Caledonia American Legion Post 305 THURSDAY NIGHTS Early Bird at 6:30 pm II Bough.

If this happens, you may need to rebalance your portfolio to better accommodate your true risk tolerance. • Maintain adequate cash reserves. Having sufficient Ilfflea lit cash in your portfolio can “"7 help you combat volatility in at least two ways. First, since cash essentially doesn’t fluc­ tuate in price — though it may lose value over time, rel­ ative to inflation — its very presence can help stabilize your portfolio.

But by taking the steps described above, and by maintaining a long-term perspective, you can strengthen your portfo­ lio's resistance, and improve your own responses, to the effects of price fluctuations.

Last spring, Glen Valley Dentistry hosted an Extreme Makeover Caledonia Edition contest. People were invited to participate in the contest by nominating themselves or someone else and submitting an essay explaining why they would be deserving of the makeover. Melissa Hasty was selected from a number of nominees by a panel made up of people from the area businesses. The selection was made based on the application of Melissa’s friend, Tracey Vandermade, who wrote an amazing essay, sharing why her friend deserved this opportunity. Melissa received a 6 month gym membership, dental treatment, salon services, a workout T-shirt from Cal Wear on Main, gift cards to Monterey Grill, Urban Threads, Essential Bean, Cherry Valley Greenhouse and Jamaican Sun.

She has been working closely with Brittany Veldkamp and the two talked about instead of giving each other Christmas gifts donating what they would have spent on each other to a family in need. Then they decided, for the first time for Sam's Gourmet Foods, to include the cus­ tomers to the store in the Farrah project. and Veldkamp are gathering gifts for a family of eight with three boys and three girls from the ages of 4 to 18 for this Christmas. Farrah says, “I have been fortunate to been given assis­ tance in the past by United Way when I and my family needed it. I wanted to pass along this generosity to another family." “This project is close to my heart," she says. “It is one way for me to pay back what I have received." She adds, “I was moved to tears when the 4 year old girl in the family told me that she didn’t believe in Santa because he never visited her house. I want to make sure he visits this year.’ Veldkamp painted the background for the collec­ tion area inside Sam’s Gourmet Foods. Owner Sam donated Bravata the Christmas tree in the display. “It was a little of a Charlie Brown Christmas tree," said Farrah. “We have put ideas for gifts on the tree and some of the shoppers have already taken the suggestions for the 44 family off the tree. The dad, 42, in the family has not been able to find a job after a recent operation. The mom, 39, is working, but her salary goes to just make ends meet. Clothing sizes and gift ideas are available at the store, located at 11080 Gun Lake Road. Lightly used household items can be dropped off, as well. Winter hours are Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 8 p.m. Farrah asks that gifts be dropped off unwrapped by . Dec. 15.

For the budget for fire and Ct police and emergency serv­ ices, Robertson has estimat­ ed that $824,314 will be raised through the 1.5 mill dedicated levy paid by town­ ship and village residents. Added to the base revenue raised by the levy is a $25,000 annual donation from Davenport University, $1,000 in delinquent person­ al property taxes, $750 in earned interest income, and $50 in penalties and interest on taxes for a total of $851,114. Of that -amount $275,000 is earmarked for police services; the remain­ ing $576,114 devoted to fire ■ and emergency services. The single largest item, $277,604 reflects salaries for paid-oncall firefighters and three full-time employees. A trans­ fer of $ 101,512 is appropriat­ ed to the capital replacement fund. No major capital expenditures for fire equip­ ment are anticipated in the budget. The board moved on to a second reading and final approval of the amendment to the Gourmet Foods International Planned Unit Development PUD. David Green, managin ■!4 director, represented the company and responded to a question raised by Snoeyink, who asked if the issues with the neighbors had been settled. Green replied that the neigh­ bors had sold the property to the company. Robertson entered the dis­ cussion saying that he was concerned about the process used by the planning com­ mission: “I am really sorry that Corky [Koopmans] is not here this evening.” He continued, saying, “The con­ ditions contained in the reso­ lution— do we have the mechanism in place to track them? Whose job is it? What leverage or mechanism do we have?” The responsibility for enforcement of conditions or stipulations contained in a site plan approval has been an ongoing concern. When Gourmet F z:ds International appeared before the planning commission early in the fall, Archie Warner, chair of the commission, asked Horst Nitschke, owner of the com­ pany, “Why should we listen to you now when you have not enclosed a Dumpster you agreed to enclose three years ago?” concluded, Robertson “We need to make sure as an organization we have in place the mechanism to track them.” He added that he would like to see board dis­ cussion of the issue. t No Need to Drive to the Bi?

In an e-mail referring to an article about the Nov. 17, article in which The Sun and News said there had been no discussion of an apparent violation of the township policy on requiring requests for proposals for projects over in cost, $5,000 Robertson clarified what had happened. He wrote that while it was not apparent from the proceedings at the board meeting, the policy had been followed.

Township Clerk Jennifer Christian took up the bids for cleaning services for the new library and the township hall. She said 10 bids had been received. Two bidders were eliminated because they had not complied completely with the bid specifications. The request was for a twoyear contract which she said she had learned was standard in the industry. She had also specified that the contractor needed to be able to clean both the library and the offices. The bidder selected was Action Cleaning Service; according to Christian, while the company was not the lowest bidder, it was the sec­ ond lowest. After checking references, especially Gaines Township where the firm has been cleaning their offices and their library for four years, she recommended their selection.

The Trojans were third in the O-K Rainbow Tier II last season, and also won the Wayland Invitational and placed second at the Ottawa Hills Invitational. Tyler Swanson, one of the leaders of that squad, returns for his senior season after placing second in the league in the 100-yard butterfly as a junior. Other key returnees for the TK-Hastings team include diver Joshua Wheeler, as well as Brad Gagnon, Zack Zwiernikowski, Dalton White and Daegan Mix. The Trojan team will also look for contributions from newcomers Scott Applegate, Dexx VanHouten and Chad Singleterry. Swimming coach Tyler Bultema, who is entering his seventh season leading the team, said his team has a great attitude and work ethic, Numbers are a strength once again as well, “We are looking for team efforts in all the events,” said Bultema. While the numbers are strong, the team is a little shorthanded in the swimming events other than the freestyle races. They’ll look to get that cleaned up before the start of the season, when they host Byron Center Dec. 9 in the Community Education and Recreation Center in Hastings. The Trojans only have two other events on the schedule before the new year, a trip to the Raider Relays at Grand Rapids Community College Dec. 11 and a trip to Jenison Dec. 28. TK cheer team should battle C.C. again for O-K Gold title by Brett Bremer Sports Editor Thomapple Kellogg’s varsity competitive cheer team has a couple of big goals for the season. It would like to win its second O-K Gold Conference championship in three years, and it would like to place in the top four at its Division 2 District Meet, earning the. right to compete in the regional round of the state tournament. The Trojans were second last year in the league, behind Grand Rapids Catholic Central. It was a disappointing defeat for the Trojans who won the league championship the year before. Catholic Central will be solid again in the conference. “The O-K Gold has very solid teams,” said TK head coach Abby Kanitz, who’s entering her fourth season leading the program. “It’s always a battle to the end.” The battle begins at Caledonia High School, Jan. 5 as the Fighting Scots host the first of five league jamborees. The Trojans host the final league meet Feb. 2. TK’s only other home meet this season will be the TK Invite Jan. 15. The Trojans open the season at the Competitive Cheer Coaches Association of Michigan meet at Otsego High School Dec. 11. That’s the only meet on the Trojans’ schedule before the new year. That leaves them lots of time for what Kanitz calls a hard working group. which is willing to try anything, to get ready for the conference slate.

Westra, a sophomore, won the O-K Gold Conference championship last season at 215 pounds. That's one of the few honors that follows the Trojans into this season, as they graduated three of their four regional qualifiers. including their lone state qualifier, in the spring. Ryan Flynn was a regional qualifier at 103 pounds last year. In the lightweights, the Trojans do have Ryan and Nick Flynn back for their sophomore season as well as Van Thang. Joseph Pawloski returns as well, That leaves lots of room for new varsity wrestlers, who have been honing their skills at the middle school, junior varsity, and varsity‘B' levels.

Playing as a team is our top goal, and if we do that we could have a special season.” A couple varsity newcom­ ers, sophomores Molly Lark, Nicole Schondelmayer and Crystal Smith will be looking to help the upperclassmen make it a special season.

Calvin Christian broke open a game, which was tied at the half, to lead by as many as seven points in the second half. The Trojans tied the contest up a number of times, but never pulled ahead in the second half and fell 40-36 to the visiting Squires in their first game under new head coach Jessee Bays. The Trojans led 14-10 with 5:30 left to play in the first half, but the Squires fought back to tie the game at 16-16 at the half. The Squires then went on a 7-0 run to start the third quarter. “It hurts,” Bays said. They want to show their community that they’ve changed and they have changed from what I’ve seen.” The Trojans changed their defensive style a bit in the second half, going to more 1 3-1 zone to get the ball out of the hands of Halea Griffioen, the Squires' most confident ball handler. When the Trojans made their runs, it was because the trap was forcing turnovers and lead­ ing to easy buckets. The defense, led by senior guard Hana Hunt, helped the Trojans to a little run which pulled them to within a point at 29-28 at the end of the third quarter. The Trojans did tie the game, 29-29 in the opening seconds of the fourth, but Calvin got an offensive put­ back by Sarah Koetsier and game’s lone three-pointer from Taylor Schimmel to go back up five. Thornapple Kellogg had the ball down two in the final 30 seconds, but couldn't find the _bottom of the net. • ‘The defensive effort is what got us back into the game,” Bays said. “We couldn't run our offense all day. We run our offense all day in practice against each other, and that’s when the defense knows what’s hap­ pening.” Alyssa Weesie led the Trojan offense with 11 1 r $ J & ,.^l ■u r & A (4 * I The Trojan’s Erin Ellinger tries to go back up with an offensive rebound as Calvin Christian’s Sarah Koetsier (52) closes in under the basket in the fourth quarter Tuesday.

The Fighting Scots earned the right to try and build some of that Friday night, in a 61-6 victory over visiting Allendale which improved Caledonia’s record to 2-0 on uvl Ik t I t “a»i’ the season. “Our girls are taught to come out and play to our expectations. We knew Allendale was a little bit down,” Harvey said. “That's one of the things we wanted to do tonight. We talked about that, the starters go take care of business because this is an opportuni­ ty to get everybody to play." Everyone did play too, at least nine and a half minutes. Everyone except all-confer­ ence point guard Alexis Miller, who got to rest some after playing all but 47 sec­ onds in the Fighting Scots' track meet of a contest to open the season against Gull Lake Tuesday. The only disappointment was that not every one of the Fighting Scots was able to score, but they all filled up the stat sheet in some way. “I’m much more proud of the six points we gave up defensively than the 61 points we scored," said Harvey. He was especially impressed that his team gave up fewer points in the second half of the ball game (2), than in the first (4). forced Caledonia 16 turnovers, pressing early on in the game and settling back into an intense half-court defense throughout the sec­ ond half. Miller played just 5 min­ utes and 49 seconds, but had three steals and three assists. She finished with nine points. Asia Slagter led the way for the Scots on the offense with 14 points, as well as two assists and two rebounds. Stacey Forton chipped in nine points, Shelby O'Brien eight, Emily DeVries seven, seven. Reyni Harvey six, and Heather Jozwik four. Kendra Venema didn't score, but had a team-high five rebounds.

The Scots had 20 offensive rebounds of their own though. The season opener was very different Tuesday, as the Fighting Scots pulled out a 55-44 victory in an up and down contest against the vis­ iting Blue Devils. Caledonia still led most of the way though. Caledonia pushed a 14-10 lead after one quarter to 2921 at the half. The defensive effort was solid again. The Scots are averaging 21 points ott through turnovers two games, having scored 20 against the Blue Devils and 22 against Allendale.

That is goal number one,” Veitch said. “We would like to hang multiple banners, conference champs, district champs, etc. But right now, we want to win each day. Our focus is on Wayland on December 8 to kick off the OK Gold season." Keeping focus on the Wildcats might not be easy, The Scots visit “the team to beat” Dec. 15, in Hastings. Saxon head coach Mike Goggins only had one team other than his own on his list of preseason favorites in the league, and that team was Caledonia. The Fighting Scots are so highly thought of because of their of returning list wrestlers, which includes sen­ iors Evan Zych, Chase Singleton and Dillon Schmitt who all had more than 30 wins last season.

Missing from photo are Clayton Mulder and Alan Bont. by Brett Bremer Sports Editor There are leaders and there are youngsters. Caledonia varsity bowling coach Eric Bottrall has some of each on both the Caledonia varsity boys' and girls' teams this winter. And each group will rely on the other. "We are a young team, with a group of seniors that will help lead them to a good season," Bottrall said. “The sky is the limit on how good we can be. With time and hard work, we can be a suc­ cessful team.” He isn't worried about the hard work part. Many of the kids put in a lot of time over the summer and full to improve their games. Leading the boys’ team which finished third in the O-K Gold Conference last year are seniors Alec Inman, Tim Vos, Taylor Bowens, and sophomores Taylor Colligan and Alan Bont. The youngsters that Bottrall is expecting good things from are sophomore Travis DeHaan and freshman Clayton Mulder. “I feel we can compete both boys and girls, for a conference championship. If the young kids step up and become confident in their games we can be a good team,” Bottrall said. The girls' team is led by seniors Danielle Fischvogt, Danielle Miller and Brooke Hogan. Alex Schut is a fresh­ man that should contribute to the line-up early. Winning conference titles on either side won't be easy. Wayland returns strong boys' and girls' teams, and Catholic Central's boys will also be pushing for a league championship. The conference standings will start to sort themselves out a little bit at the Pre­ Conference Tournament at the Mid Villa Dec. 15. The following day, the Scots will return to the Mid Villa to take on Thornapple Kellogg in a league dual. I#|uaI 'lull ’Hi 'ii»n 'to; tol toj k'i GET ALL THE to NEWS OF BARRY COUNTY!

We are fortunate to be working with various community members to fill packages to send overseas. We hope that - you will join us in this endeavor.” Anyone willing to donate money for postage or items for care packages may drop items off in the box at the First Baptist Church on M37 north of Middleville or The Scoop ice cream shop on Main Street in Middleville. The deadline for all items is Sunday, Dec. 13. “We know times are tough ... so we do not want to pres­ sure you to be a part of this,” said Sprague. “We merely want to extend an offer to participate [since] we feel this project is one more way to make community connec­ tions.” The list of supplies the military suggests for over­ seas care packages includes small packages of alcohol- t•3 Seif free moist wipes* small Gold Bond or baby powder’ personal care items like toothpaste. floss, deodorant’ individual-portion snacks such as trail mix, fruit snacks, power bars; boot- As Gun Lake Casino gears up to open its doors to the community in February 2011, the human resources department has been busy poring over thousands of job applications to seek out the best team members to pro­ vide the finest guest service. The casino has had an overwhelming response to plan to employ up to 750 people. Most job classifications have received an extraordi­ nary' amount of job applica­ tions and as of now, applica­ tions will no longer be accepted for the majority of positions. However, the casi­ no is still seeking qualified candidates for two careers: card dealers and slot atten­ dants. A limited number of quali­ fied applicants who applied online in recent weeks will be contacted for in-person inter­ views in the coming weeks. Based on the high volume of applicants, not everyone will be invited to the interview process. Those with the most direct experience who meet all the job qualifications will be interviewed first. Gun Lake Casino is locat­ ed in Bradley, near M-179 and US-131.

The development contin­ ues to be under a consent judgment, which originated in Kent County Circuit Court in 2001 and has been amend­ ed several times. The two requests on the agenda were for a public hearing to rezone the specific property from C2 General Business District uG nwoT imoD bnoM trasiH inaifi <4lnD Wnoz bin. ulqxo tduoii yl JnBfl strr to Hgbut v/A n i DOS ni oz bo joupoi J £ 101 qz ori I ioD £ to a planned unit develop­ ment (PUD), and for a site plan review. Dar Van Der Ark, repre­ senting TM Partners, the developers of the mall, said discussions with township officials have led to plans to emerge from the consent judgment as a PUD in January 2011. He added the partners supported the Brann request and Brann needed to know if he could do what he wanted to do. In comments made at a board meeting some months ago, supervisor Bryan Harrison had suggested per­ haps the time had come to removing explore the development Crossroads from the consent judgment, a move which would put it into the normal zoning processes. Archie Warner, the chair of the planning commission, pointed out the township ordinance requires a mini­ mum of 20 acres under sin­ gle ownership for a PUD and the mall occupies only 2.18 acres. Jeffrey Parker, architect for the project, commented, “Mr. Brann is not a party to the PUD process. He doesn't want to buy a building he cannot for eight use months." Warner said he supported in further development Crossroads, but there is noth­ ing the commission can do at this point. He said Brann could buy the building and apply to the court for a mod­ ification in the judgment. Don Koopmans, board liaison to the commission, said he did not know how the consent judgment affects the Public hearing on medical marijuana to continue in Jan.

Before the public hearing was continued to January, King gave an overview about why he thought the commis­ sion should allow dispen­ saries within the village. He told them, “It is the right thing to do." He told the commission members that a dispensary will not destroy the commu­ nity. He said, “My goal is to make the best facility possi­ ble. It will provide educa­ tional and pharmaceutical support for patients.” He also stressed that he is both business oriented and has compassion for those who need it. Trevor Eaton, who is now a registered patient, would like to become a caregiver as well. He told the commission members about a caregiver's need to have an outlet for excess product if the 12 plants allowed to be grown are good producers. He also told the commis­ sion that dispensaries are. Derek and Sue Hatley noticed in November that there — ;£ g|v • Christmas tree in the Gazebo in the Village of was no medications." Middleville.

The lighting plan submittec^ the request would require six poles in the parkmg area and would spill over into adjacent commercial areas but not into the resi­ dential area. The developers said there is some need for haste; a closing date of Dec. 31, has been set with Mercantile Bank. Warner suggested pre| liminary site plan approval might provide enough comfort for Brann to proceed ■ with the closing. Parker added that Brann needed to be able to evaluate the level of risk in buying the build­ ing. Gunnink moved to approve the preliminary site plan subject to working out the PUD for the site or amending the consent judg­ ment pending an engineering review and resolution of sig­ nage concerns. Koopmans supported the motion and it was approved unanimously. In other business, Diane Sevensma, who operates a licensed day care home on Abby Lane, requested a spe­ cial use permit (SUP) to allow her to provide care for more children. She explained she has two clients whose older siblings needed care after school and during school breaks. She said she had discovered her current license was valid for only six children; adding two afterschool children to her current five children put her in viola­ tion and required her to get a | new license and in turn, she needs a SUP to be in compli­ ance with Caledonia ordi­ nances. Questions from the commissioners determined that her property complies with all applicable regulations. The principal concern was that the new license would permit up to 12 children; she emphatically said she would not go to 12 children. Representatives the of Austin Ridge Neighborhood Association, which was sup­ porting her application for an SUP, said the bylaws would require their approval. Clark confirmed her driveway and turnaround area were adequate. Warner moved to approve the application for an SUP subject to a limit of eight children, the maintenance of appropriate licensure, and operating hours of 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. The motion was unanimously approved, Chad Meyer, 5311 84th St., applied for an SUP to rebuild a bam destroyed in high winds. His application indicated he wished to con­ struct a 32’ x 50’ building with an overhang. Warner said the property was originally a farm that was subdivided into a devel­ opment of 15 homes includ­ ing the Meyer's home. The property contained four accessory buildings plus the residence on 2.89 acres before one building was destroyed by high winds. Parent said he thought the building could not be rebuilt because it was non-conform­ ing under current standards. Commissioner Kelly Cavanaugh said the problem was the number of buildings. She said it added up to 5,600 feet of accessory space. The commission was asked, if it were possible to have a rural-residential clas­ sification in a Planned Unit Development. Clark said in this instance it was because the approval was granted toi permit retaining the farm characteristics that existed before the PUD was created. Meyer said he wanted the overhung porch to soften the look of the building, adding he had cleaned up the other bams. “It can be a beautiful thing or a mess,”he said. Morris said he was con- cerned about farm equipment and Meyer said he did not use it for that purpose. Parent asked. “What are you storing? You have a tremendous amount of stor­ age space.” Meyer said it was equip­ ment used to maintain the property; there was no exca­ vating equipment. Cavanaugh said she was concerned about a home occupation. Parent wanted to know if Meyer got paid for using the equipment for his church or any of his neigh­ bors. Gunnink focused on the issue of setting a precedent that had been raised by Parent. He noted that Meyer can do everything as the property currently stands. He said he would accept a 28’ x 48' building. He noted that the property was a, “small piece of land for all these buildings. I would not rec­ ommend approval.” Meyer said he understood their concerns and would drop his request for the over­ hang. Wamer said the com­ mission could put in a stipu­ lation barring businesses. Clark noted reconstruction of the same square footage would not require an SUP permit. Gunnink moved to deny the request; Cavanaugh sup­ ported the motion. In the ensuing discussion both Wamer and Koopmans noted the question was what is rea­ sonable and added they did not see the request as unrea­ sonable. The request was denied by a 4 to 2 vote. The next meeting of the Planning Commission is set for 7 p.m. Monday, Dec. 20, at the township offices, 3196 Cherry Valley Ave. - ^'fel jtffS®1* iuitz* r• k IB* >•■1 ?’ ■in ^!Ul F'ticn MUMU S2?a ©' I 'm M INGO — B ’I Caledonia American Legion Post 305 THURSDAY NIGHTS hl ’ J Early Bird at 6:30 pm !/ 1 / J V �The Sun and News.

But it is important to take some time now to evaluate year-end financial moves that may be beneficial in prepar­ ing for your financial future. Which year-end moves should you consider? You will want to talk to your finan­ cial advisor and tax and legal professionals first, but here are a few ideas to get you started: • Boost your IRA contribu­ tions. You have until April 15, 2011, to fully fund your IRA for the 2010 tax year, but the sooner you finish with your 2010 contribution, the quicker you can get started on your 2011 contribution — and the earlier in the year you fund your IRA, the more time you give your account the opportunity to grow._ • Put more money into col­ lege savings plans. If you have a 529 college savings plan for yourself or someone else, consider putting more money in before year-end. You can gift up to $13,000 ($26,000 per married couple) per person per year without gift consequences. tax However, this must be accom­ plished by year-end. _ • Be generous. If you've been thinking of making charitable Seventh grade students at Kraft Middle School who received second division ratings are (from left) Kali Siler, Lauren King and Hannah Horvath. Continuing the row are Addison Clipfell, Lucas Westrink and Aaron Ritter, who received first division rat- J-3&- gifts, don't put them off any longer. As long as you make a donation to a qualified charity before the year ends, you can claim a deduction on your 2010 tax return. For example, if you donate $100 to a chari­ table group [either a religious organization or one that has received 501(c)(3) status from the Internal Revenue Service], and you're in the 25% tax bracket, you can deduct $100 (with a tax benefit of $25) when you file your taxes for 2010, providing, of course, that you itemize. If you donate stocks or other types of assets, you may also be able to save on capital gains taxes, because it will be the charity, not you, that eventu­ ally sells those assets. • Sell your “losers.” If you own investments that have lost value since you pur­ chased them, you can sell them before 2010 ends and then use the tax loss to offset capital gains you may have earned in other investments. If you don't have any capital gains, you can use up to $3,000 of your tax losses to offset other ordinary income. If your loss is greater than $3,000. you can “carry over” the excess and deduct it from your taxes in future years. However, if you then want to repurchase the investment you sold, you’ll need to wait at least 31 days to avoid vio­ *• lating the IRS’ “wash sale rules. _ • Take capital gains. In 2011. the tax rate on long­ term capital gains is sched­ uled to increase to 20% for most investors, up from the 15% rate it's been the last several years. If you have stocks or other appreciated assets that you were thinking of sellins in the near future, you might want to do so before the year comes to a close. However, it's generally not a good idea to make investment decisions strictly because of tax consequences. If your appreciated assets are still a part of your overall financial strategy, you may be better off holding them for the long term, even with a higher capital gains rate. Considering these moves before the year ends may help you better prepare to address you financial picture in 2011.

They per­ formed inside for most of the evening but Bill Johnson, Forrest Evans, Jake Blough, Mark Hurless and Tracy Texter played outside in front of the tree during the tree-lighting ceremony. All downtown stores pro­ vided food treats from cook­ ies to iced pretzels for every­ one. The aroma of coffee filled Lasting Memories. The tree was donated by Caledonia Hair Co. The entire family and staff helped with the celebration by wear­ ing costumes honoring the movie, “The Grinch.” New Village President Glenn Gilbert officiated at ribbon-cutting ceremonies celebrating the opening Henny’s Yarn Shop, the Cafe at Caledonia Station, Lasting Memories and Kat’s Kloset during 2010.

Santa and Mrs. Claus began their visit by stopping by the United Methodist Church pancake breakfast sponsored by the Men’s Club. The cookies in the cookie walk enticed some of the breakfast diners to inter­ rupt their meal to make sure they got their favorites. Some had to leave the breakfast just a little early, including Santa and Mrs. Claus, to up to McFall II Elementary school to join the parade line up. This year parade included live rein­ deer, many decorated floats and lots of treats. Judges Nancy Jones and Diane and Vance Hoskins sat bundled up in front of village hall and named The Jolly Grinch the first place float. Tornado Chaser won second place and the woodpecker festival float won third place. Santa and Mrs. Claus were riding in the Lions Club float at the end of the parade and spent more than an hour lis­ tening to Christmas wishes. Journey Church provided I • / HV • J J / J * hot chocolate, warm hats and filled craft tables inside the Scoop. The free soft ice cream cones they donated were popular, demonstrating that no matter the tempera­ ture ice cream hit the spot for the fist 100 to visit the Scoop.

Caledonia’s varsity wrestling team has a big O-K Gold Conference dual with Hastings Wednesday, but opened the league season this Wednesday with a 54-15 victory over Wayland. “We got. let's see, 1-2-34-5-6-7 pins and didn't give up any." said Caledonia head coach Shawn Veitch. “That’s just been our mentality all year.

The Fighting Scots need to take the same attitude and physicality into their dual at Hastings if they hope to defeat the five-time defend­ ing conference champs. “The biggest challenge for our guys will be believing that we're the better team.

Singleton at 160, Kyle Schutt at 189 pounds. Joel Wenk at 216 and Dillon Schmitt at 285 scored the seven Caledonia pins. The Scots also had John Schaibly win by forfeit at 171 pounds, and Justin Bigger at 152 and Evan Zych at 140 both won three-point decisions. Bigger scored a 30 win over the Wildcats' Schuylar Hostetler, while Zych topped Austin Schoen 16-11. “It was one of the best duals we've wrestled since I've been a coach here at Caledonia," Veitch said. Ionia erased 18 points from a 19-point Trojan lead in the fourth quarter, but Thornapple Kellogg's varsi­ ty boys’ basketball team held on for a 66-61 win in its sea­ son opener Tuesday. The Trojans moved out to an 18-11 lead after one quar­ ter, then pushed their edge to 37-27 by the half, in the first few minutes of the fourth quarter TK moved its lead to as many as 19 points. Ionia drilled a few threepointers late, while the Trojans were working on some new things and getting everyone into the ball game, and cut the lead to 62-61 at one point before the Trojans hit a few final free throws to seal the win. Greg Hamilton led Thornapple Kellogg with 26 points, six rebounds and three assists. Jarod Stolicker had 15 points, 17 rebounds and six blocked shots.
