Officials to visit
Montcalm County,
West Michigan farms
Greenville will be the base of op-
erations for a tour of West Michigan
farms, stretching from Greenville to
Hart, by federal and state regulators
the third week of July. The project is
intended to familiarize them with is-
sues dealing with control of crop-dam-
aging pests.
Field stops on July 21 are at farms
producing asparagus, carrots and pick-
ling cucumbers along with late-after-
noon visits to an apple orchard and a
Christmas tree operation near Green-
ville. The July 22 itinerary takes in
Montcalm County corn and potatoes.
Specialists from Michigan State Uni-
versity will accompany the farm tours.
“Sponsoring the event is the Michi-
gan Integrated Pest Management Alli-
ance, which is a coalition of commod-
ity groups dedicated to integrated pest
management (IPM),” said Ben Kudwa,
executive director of the Michigan Po-
tato Industry Commission, DeWitt,
and coordinator of the event with Amy
Frankmann, executive director of the
Michigan Nursery & Landscape Asso-
ciation.
Kudwa said, “IPM is a methodol-
ogy for pest control that minimizes
pesticide applications while achieving
high crop yields. We see a lot of value
Helping Hands finds a home
Helping Hands is very pleased
to announce that they have se-
cured a site to relocate its exist-
ing food pantry operations with
the goal of constructing a new
more efficient, client & volunteer
friendly facility. Pictured is the
new location which was formerly
the Manor Motel south of the
VFW Hall in Howard City.
Fred C. Plath, Treasurer of
Helping Hands said the site has
some very positive attributes in-
cluding frontage on both Federal
Road and Henkel Road which will
allow those using Helping Hands
to access the facility from the front
while food deliveries and other
access will be able to be gained
from the rear of the facility. The
current Helping Hands operation
stores food on two separate lev-
els and makes it difficult to move
food up and down the stairs.
On Thursday July 8th, repre-
sentatives from Helping Hands,
and the local ministerial associa-
tion met to dedicate the new site
with prayer. The new vision for
Helping Hands is beginning to
come to pass. The ministry out-
reach is seeking a construction
coordinator who would be willing
to donate their expertise for this
project. Helping Hands also con-
tinues to seek a ministry services
coordinator as it begins to expand
its vision.
Helping Hands will now be
entering a capital fundraising
campaign in an effort to secure
adequate funds to build the new
facility. It is hoped that this pro-
cess can be completed in 12-18
months with the goal of being
operational in a new facility by
the end of 2011. Currently Help-
ing Hands is serving approxi-
mately 200 families each month
and greatly appreciates the faith-
ful support the community has
shown to it during its 20 year his-
tory.
Helping Hands knows that it
will take a significant amount of
funds to construct a new facil-
ity and intends to use the pro-
ceeds from the sale of its current
building on Main Street as part
of the necessary funds. Anyone
who may have interest in acquir-
ing this building after Helping
Hands relocates should contact
Fred C. Plath at (231) 937-6758.
The ministry outreach is cau-
tiously optimistic that donations
from the community will assist
with the necessary funds required
for this project. Very prelimi-
nary estimates put project cost
at $75,000-$100,000. For those
willing to support this project,
donations, questions, or inquiries
can be made to PO Box 532, How-
ard City, MI 49329.

Newaygo Brownie Girl Scout
Troop Honors Dolly Parton
On Friday, June 11, 2010, Newaygo Brownie Scout
Troop 20437 earned their Coat of Many Colors badge, in
honor of Dolly Parton. Troop Leader, Julie Osborn stat-
ed, “I think Dolly is a great inspiration for all girls. She is
quite the success from a rags-to-riches story.” Julie visit-
ed the Smoky Mountains earlier this year and purchased
the badges so her troop could do a project to earn them.
They decided the best thing to do would be to donate
a coat to NCCS for people who are in need of coats for
the winter. Julie says that the girls were told the story of
Dolly’s Coat of Many Colors, and they were thrilled to do
this project to earn their badge. Julie intends to write a
letter to Dolly Parton and send a picture of the girls so
that she can see how proud they were to earn this badge.
The coats were delivered to NCCS on Thursday, July 8,
2010. They were very pleased with the donation.

New York City Blues comes to WIC works

Lakeview’s Music In The Park
Lakeview’s Music in the
Park concert series gets a bad
case of the Blues Wednesday,
July 21 when the dynamic
blues duo from New York City,
“Mulebone” makes their con-
cert series debut. Mulebone is
composed of two of New York’s
finest musicians, Hugh Pool (
electric guitar, harmonica and
lead vocal) and John Ragusa on
(flute, cornet, penny whistle,
and conch shell)
ABOUT MULEBONE:
Mulebone is a partnership
comprised of multi-instrumen-
talist, John Ragusa and roots
music specialist, Hugh Pool.
The launching pad for their
musical expression is tradition-
al blues.
Together they have recorded
a CD which spent 15 weeks in
the Top 100 Albums in Amer-
ica. Along with playing live
and TV appearances, they won
blues artist of the year at radio
stations from Seattle, Washing-
ton to Red Bank, New Jersey.
Any given week, you may find
them playing clubs in NYC or
entertaining at private parties
thrown by David Rockefeller,
Bruce Wasserstein and list of
other East Coast residents who
are enthusiastic about bring-
ing these boys in for a party by
road, sea or air.
In Mulebone, John plays,
conch shell, Jews harp, cornet,
all manner of flutes, tin whistle,
and chimes in on the harmony
vocals. He is member of Beth
Nielsen Chapman’s group as
well as his own John Ragusa
outfit, and plays regularly in
conjunction with Deepak Cho-
pra’s speaking engagements.
Amongst dozens of studio cred-
its are contemporary jazz greats
Joe Taylor, Jeremy Wall and
world music icon Tom Ze.
Hugh plays guitars, harmon-
ica, boot board and sings. He
has played his brand of blues in
clubs and at festivals from Ja-
karta, Indonesia to North Cape,
Norway; From Vienna, Austria
to Ottawa, Ontario and has
been critically lauded by The
New York Times, New York
Press, The Village Voice, Pitts-
burgh Press, Cleveland Plain
Dealer, Blues Revue Magazine
... the list goes on.
He is also a noted recordist
and producer who has worked
on hundreds of records at his
Williamsburg, Brooklyn studio,
Excello Recording including
sessions with Taj Mahal, Deb-
bie Harry, and Marah to name
a couple.
Together in Mulebone,
Hugh and John play slide gui-
tar boogies, 1 chord trance riffs
a la Howlin Wolf the up tempo
rags of Reverend Gary Davis
and country blues of all shapes
and colors. Sometimes they
play close to the source, almost
as if tracing the image, and at
other moments, they re-exam-
ine the source, float above it,
take a new look as one under-
standing their home from a dis-
tant land.
Stanton- Two hundred thou-
sand moms, babies and children less
than 5 years of age currently receive
nutritious foods from the Michigan
Women, Infants & Children (WIC)
program; that’s one out of every
two babies born in Michigan. Lo-
cally, that number equates to 2,090
Montcalm County residents receiv-
ing WIC benefits through the Mid-
Michigan District Health Depart-
ment (MMDHD).
The Women, Infants & Children
program is a federally funded sup-
plemental nutrition program that
has been serving low and moder-
ate income pregnant, breastfeeding
and postpartum (the period follow-
ing childbirth) women, infants and
children up to age 5 with nutritional
related health problems since 1972.
The program provides a combina-
tion of nutrition education, supple-
mental foods, breastfeeding promo-
tion and support and referrals to
health care services. Pregnant and
postpartum women and children
(under age 5) receive food benefits
for milk, cheese, eggs, cereals, pea-
nut butter, dried beans or peas,
fruit or vegetable juices, fresh fruits
and vegetables, whole grain breads
and tortillas. If an infant isn’t fully
breastfed, iron-fortified infant for-
mula is available for the first year
of life as well. In addition, WIC also
provides participants with coupons
to purchase locally grown fresh fruits
and vegetables at farmers’ markets
through the Project Fresh program.
There is no doubt that WIC has
a profound effect on families. “Be-
ing a single mother, I couldn’t make
it without WIC,” said one client. “I
work full time and still have a hard
time making ends meet. WIC has
and I would be in a very tough spot
without it.”
WIC has a proven track record
of demonstrating a positive effect on
pregnancy outcomes, child growth
and development. Research shows
that the earlier a pregnant woman
receives nutritional benefits from
WIC, the more likely she is to seek
prenatal care and deliver a normal
weight infant. For every dollar spent
by this program, more than three
dollars in subsequent health care
costs are saved.
Benefits to children participating
in WIC include:
Higher rates of immunizations
against childhood diseases.
Better vocabularies and digit
memory scores among four and five
year olds in early childhood com-
pared to children who did not par-
ticipate in WIC.
Lower rate of anemia among chil-
dren between the ages of 6 months
to 5 years.
Significant improvement in chil-
dren’s dietary intake of vitamins and
nutrients.
Benefits to Women and Infants
participating in WIC include:
Significant increase in the num-
ber of women receiving adequate
prenatal care.
Dramatic decrease in the infant
mortality among Medicaid benefi-
ciaries.
Improvement in weight gain and
dietary intake in pregnant and post-
partum women.
Decrease in low birth weight and
pre-term births.
A family of four may earn
$40,000 per year and qualify for
WIC. If you think you may qualify

in bringing government officials
into our fields to see how we’re
applying IPM techniques. And
they get first-hand exposure to
problems we face in trying to
keep ahead of all the pests that
are a natural part of Michigan
food production.”
“The format allows a great
deal of informal personal inter-
actions. Growers and regula-
tors can discuss issues face to
face and share their viewpoints.
The IPM Alliance has hosted this
type of event for many years, and
each time we come away with
improved understandings of di-
verse perspectives.”
Kudwa noted that Greenville
is a natural site as the tour hub.
Greenville is a historic agricul-
tural area and home of Repre-
sentative Mike Huckleberry,
who represents the 70th District
in the state House of Represen-
tatives and chairs the House Ag-
riculture Committee.
“He’s an ardent activist work-
ing to get Michigan-grown prod-
ucts served wherever possible,”
Kudwa said. “The 70th District
includes 65% of Michigan’s pota-
to production, and we’re pleased
to have a representative who
continually supports agriculture
and Michigan’s food industry.”
Kudwa added that the tour
concludes with a July 22 lunch
at Klackle Orchards. “We’ll be
sending our guests home after
treating them to a down-at-the-
farm-market meal,” he said.
“Many federal officials are not
that familiar with Michigan.
We’ll be showing them how
broad and diverse our agricul-
ture is.”

Changes coming to Ionia Free Fair
IOnIA --- numerous changes and new con-
cepts are coming to the 2010 Ionia free fair.
“One of the challenges of putting on a good
fair is to always be thinking about how to insti-
tute change and appearance so the fair doesn’t
become stale, yet maintains its heritage.” said
fair Manager Bev Clark. “This year I think we’ve
taken several major steps in that direction.”
Changes in exhibit buildings, additional free
or reduced parking fees, bull riding, a virtual
playground, the AARP/Walgreen’s Wellness
Tour, an outdoor sports expo, an expanded An-
tique Village and even an official State of Michi-
gan legislative hearing are among the changes
visitors will notice at this year’s fair.
Clark said the fair’s three largest exhibit
buildings have undergone major concept
changes.
The picturesque “floral Building” will now
house Antique Village, previously contained
in a tent on the north side of the fairgrounds.
Antique Village is a composite exhibit of Ionia
County’s rural, agricultural and lifestyle his-
tory.
“Interest and participation in Antique Vil-
lage has increased dramatically over the past
three or four years,” Clark said. “We had to
make room for more exhibits, more craftsman
demonstrations and more back-in-the-day en-
tertainment.”
floral and artwork exhibits previously dis-
played in the floral Building will be integrated
into the Antique Village concept.
The fairground’s historic “Merchants
Building” will be divided into two new exhibit
concepts. One half of the building will feature
“Michigan Marketplace,” showcasing products
grown or manufactured in Michigan. A new
“Michigan’s Outdoors Sports expo” will occupy
the other half of the building.
“We are really excited about the changes in
the Merchants Building,” Clark said. “It is our
response to comments and requests from past
fair visitors. We think they’re going to especially
enjoy this change.”
Michigan’s Outdoors Sports expo will high-
light outdoor sporting exhibits along with such
activities as Turkey calling and other hunting

The exhibition Building adjacent to the
Merchants Building will house an expanded
“Meijer Marketplace” featuring a smorgasbord
of commercial exhibits.
“Wellness Day” is another new feature of
this year’s fair.
The nationally acclaimed AARP/Wal-
green’s Wellness Tour will make a two-day stop
at the fair July 25 & 26. fair visitors may avail
themselves of medical tests and screening free
of charge. Screenings include glucose, total cho-
lesterol, waist circumference, body-mass index,
blood pressure and bone density.
“everywhere the AARP/Walgreen’s Well-
ness Tour appears it is a tremendous success,”
Clark said. “We are so fortunate AARP and
Walgreen’s added the Ionia free fair to its na-
tionwide tour.”
The “Wellness Day” concept will be expand-
ed July 26 with a large number of activities for
senior citizens, including healthy snacks, a tour
of the fairgrounds, special entertainment, lun-
cheon and a meeting with guest speaker Rep.
Brian Calley.
Clark said Wellness Day will also sponsor an
American Red Cross blood drive; Guys & Dolls
Hair & nail Salon of Ionia will sponsor a Locks
of Love hair collection effort, and Relay for Life
will attempt to set a record for the longest pur-
ple ribbon on behalf of cancer patients and sur-
vivors. The fair Manager also urged attendees
to bring old eyeglasses that could be distributed
to those in need of eyewear.
“We hope West and Central Michigan citi-
zens join us on Wellness Day for what we hope
will be a record-setting effort on behalf of people
with medical needs,” Clark said.
In celebration of Wellness Day and senior
citizen activities, parking will be free for all fair-
goers July 26.
In a further humanitarian effort, this year’s
fair will host a “Rally for Hope and Hunger”
in the racetrack infield Saturday, July 24 from
noon to 4 p.m. The event will benefit God’s
Kitchen and programs of West Michigan Cath-
olic Charities.

27 along with a guest appearance by Ronald
McDonald. That evening the fair will host the
new Great Lakes Invitational Bull Riding com-
petition featuring five-time World Champion
Bullfighter Rob Smets as host of the event.
State Rep. Mike Huckleberry, chairman of
the Michigan House of Representatives Stand-
ing Committee on Agriculture, will hold a com-
mittee hearing to hear testimony on agricul-
tural issues July 23 at 2 p.m. in the Merchants
Building. Huckleberry serves as Representative
of the state’s 70th District, which includes four
Ionia County Townships, including both Beld-
ing and Ionia.
A “Bonus Preview night” is a major change
to kick off this year’s fair on Wednesday, July 21,
adding one additional day to “The 10 Best Days
of Summer.” Clark said the fair will open at 5
p.m., parking will be free, but only the midway
and food concessions will be open. All exhibit
buildings will be closed.
The fair will resume July 22 at 5 p.m. and
gates will open for parking at 9 a.m. July 23
– 31.
Clark also announced that the fair’s all-day
parking fee will be lowered to $3 from 9 to 11
a.m. July 24 for Grand Opening Parade viewers
who wish to see the parade as it passes through
the fairgrounds. She said Ionia street construc-
tion projects may inconveniences parade en-
thusiasts who normally park downtown.
“All the traditional activities, exhibits and
entertainment for which the Ionia free fair has
become known all these years will not be lost or
diminished by the changes this year,” Clark said.
“The Playworld Amusements Midway, our an-
nual Grand Opening fair Parade, 4-H activities
and exhibits, the circus, auto racing, monster
trucks, the nTPA tractor pulls, free entertain-
ment in e-Park,” she added, “will continue to be
major functions of the fair. But I have to admit
there is a special kind of excitement about the
type of changes we’ve made this year.”
Official fair dates are July 22 – 31.

Reynolds Township Cemetery Ordinance
An ordinance to protect the public health, safety and general welfare by establishing
regulations relating to the operation, control, and management of cemeteries owned
by the Township of Reynolds, Montcalm County, Michigan; to provide penalties for
the violation of said ordinance, and to repeal all ordinances or parts of ordinances in
conflict therewith.
THE TOWNSHIP OF REYNOLDS, MONTCALM COUNTY, MICHIGAN, OR-
DAINS:
Section 1: Title
This ordinance shall be known and cited as the Reynolds Township Cemetery Ordi-
nance.
Section 2: Definitions of Cemetery Lots and Burial Spaces
A cemetery lot shall consist of burial spaces sufficient to accommodate from one to
eight burial spaces.
A burial space shall consist of a land area five (5) feet wide and ten (10) feet in
length.
Section 3: Sale of Lots or Burial Spaces
Hereafter, cemetery lots or burial spaces shall be sold only to residents or taxpayers of
the Township for the purpose of the burial of such purchaser or his or her heirs at law
or next of kin. The Township Clerk, however, is hereby granted the authority to vary
the aforesaid restriction on sales where the purchaser discloses sufficient personal
reason for burial within the Township through previous residence in the Township or
relationship to persons interred therein.
All such sales shall be made on a form approved by the Township Board, which grants
a right of burial only and does not convey any other title to the lot or burial space sold.
Such form shall be executed by the Township Clerk.
Burial rights may only be transferred to those persons eligible to be original purchas-
ers of cemetery lots or burial spaces within the Township and may be effected only be
endorsement of an assignment of such burial permit upon the original burial permit
form issued by the Township Clerk, approved by said Clerk, and entered upon the
official records of said Clerk. Upon such assignment, approval and record, said Clerk
shall issue a new burial permit to the assignee and shall cancel and terminate upon
such records, the original permit thus assigned.
Section 4: Purchase Price and Transfer Fees
Each burial space shall cost the sum of one hundred (100) dollars.
Any transfer of one or more burial spaces from an original purchaser to a qualified
assignee shall cost one hundred (100) dollars.
The foregoing charges shall be paid to the Township Treasurer and shall be deposited
in the cemetery fund for the particular cemetery involved in the sale or transfer.
The Township Board, by resolution, may periodically alter the foregoing fees to ac-
commodate increased costs and needed reserve funds for cemetery maintenance and
acquisition.
Section 5: Grave Opening Charges
The opening and closing of any burial space, prior to and following a burial therein,
and including the interment of ashes, shall be at a cost to be determined from time to
time by resolution of the Township Board, payable to the
Township.
No burial spaces shall be opened and closed except under the direction and control of
the Cemetery Sexton. This provision shall not apply to proceedings for the removal
and reinterment of bodies and remains, which matters are under the supervision of the
local health department.
Section 6: Markers or Memorials
All markers or memorials must be of stone or other equally durable composition.
Any large upright monuments must be located upon a suitable foundation to maintain
the same in an erect position.
Only one monument, marker or memorial shall be permitted per burial space unless
approved by township board.
The footing or foundation upon which any monument, marker or memorial must be
