ing a walk to heighten awareness
of sexual assault. The walk will
be held in April, Sexual Assault

WISE personnel are asking
community memebers to join in

The walk will be held in Big

WISE was created in 1984.
Early in the organizations his-
tory, a primary goal was to have a
shelter. A shelter opened during
the summer of 1987.
In 1997, the organization opened
the WISE Shopper, a store used to
help raise funds. The name was
later changed to WISE Fabulous
finds Resale Shoppe. The shop ac-
cepts donations and offers a loca-
tion where WISE clients can shop
for clothing and other items. The
shop is also open to the public.
WISE offers a 24-hour emer-
gency shelter and hot line. It
also offers advisory services and
classes and a domestic violence
and sexual assault response team.
The Walk a Mile for WISE activ-
ity will be open to both men and
women. Registration will open
at 5 p.m. The walk will begin at 6.
Participants, including men, are
encouraged to walk in high heels.
The walk entry fee is $20. Those
who register by April 14 will re-
ceive a walk shirt.
Those wishing to participate
may register at the Fabulous
Finds shop in downtown Big
Rapids or may mail a check along
with their name, age and shirt
size to Walk a Mile, P.O. Box 1249,
Big Rapids.
Fabulous finds is open Tuesday
through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to

10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Businesses interested in help-
ing to sponsor the walk have four

Evart to add Geographic Information System to website

EVART Evart officials
anticipate an array of ad-
vantages to come with the
installation of a Geograph-
ic Information System on
the citys website.
A GIS is a system for pre-
senting geographic data.
The city will be working
with TopComp Computer
Software Services Inc.,
a Williamsburg firm, to
install GIS on the citys
website.
A company spokesman
said between 80 and 90
percent of all government
data relates to geographic
locations. The date might
be street addresses, lot
numbers or placement in
a subdivision. Among the
benefits of having digi-
talized information regard-
ing geographic location,
the system will also protect
against the loss of maps if
fire or a catastrophic natu-
ral disaster strikes.
The city will also be able
to use the GIS to assist with
zoning regulations, utility
billing, assessment and
utilily billing work, water
and to have on hand water
and sewer information. By
having a GIS, the city will
also be able to more easily
comply with Michigans
auditing requirements.
Shila Kiander, the direc-
tor of Mecosta Countys
Equalization Department,
gives high marks to the GIS
her department uses. Kian-
der said Mecosta County
Our began using a GIS in
the spring of 2015, and a
number of departments
and agencies have received
the benefit.
County agencies, zon-
ing. the parks department,
sheriffs department, drain
commissioners, emer-
gency management and
every other agency that
needs data mapped, use
the system, Kiander said.
Most recently, the state per-
sonnel involved with the
chronic wasting disease
issue in the county got an
assist from the system to
help with identifying prop-
erties in the vicinity of the
outbreak.
The county partnered
with the local units of
government to pay for the
system. It is used for as-
sessment administration
at both the county and
township levels.
Mecosta Countys GIS is
available for residents to
use for free on the county
website, Kiander said, and
those who have used the
system gave great feed-
back.
Evart has approved an
expenditure of about $3,000
for the GIS.
