Habitat for Humanity making
a brush with kindness
REED CITY Wexford-Osceo-
la Habitat for Humanity has
expanded the work it does with A
Brush With Kindness, a program
to assist with outdoor needs.
The program focuses on such
work as painting, window and
door repair or replacement,
porch repair and landscaping.
Most work is completed in a day
and on a budget of $2,500 or less.
Homeowners are required to as-
sist with eight hours of work and
pay the costs involved.
Only homeoowners qualify
for Brush With Kindness as-
sistance. The home must be in
Osceola County and be up-to-date
on taxes and must have insur-
ance coverage. The homeowner
must also show a financial need
by falling with 40 to 70 percent
of the median income range for
Osceola County. Additionally, no
one residing in the home may ap-
pear on the sex offender registry.
Homeowners must also be will-
ing to display partnership mate-
rials. Partnership materials may
be a window decal or a yard sign.
A family of four would meet
the income qualifications with
an income falling between
$22,320 and $39,060 per year. A
family of 5 would qualify with an
income falling between $24,120
and $42,210.

Humanity International, a world-
wide, nonprofit Christian hous-
ing ministry.

Herb Neuman legacy was an imprint on his students
By Andy Duffy
Weekly Voice
EVART Although it has
been years since former Evart
High School teacher F. Herbert
Neuman set foot in a classroom
there, news of his Aug. 11 death
provoked a flood of accolades
and reminisces of former stu-
dents on social media sites.
Neuman, 87, passed away at a
senior care home in Las Vegas.
He lived a memorable life.
Following a home birth north
of Evart in 1929, Neuman
graduated from high school in
his home town and attended
the University of Michigan. He
later taught English in Heidel-
berg, Germany and edited an
English language newspaper
in Saudi Arabia. Among his
acquaintances was the king
of a Bedouin tribe. Following
his time in Saudi Arabia, he
returned to Evart in the 1960s
and taught English and speech
there. Left in his wake are many
who cherish their experiences
with him.
Among those expressing
condolences was Lou Adams, a
student of Neumans during the
early 70s.
Neuman, Adams said, was a
real renaissance man. DAVID VAN BURGEL PHOTO

Deb Lockwood, another
former student of Neu-
mans, also had high
DAIRY
praise for his talents.
I liked (Neuman) a lot,
Lockwood said. He made
English literature inter-
esting. He encouraged his
students to think outside
the box.
Neuman used innova-
tive teaching methods and
good techniques, Lock-
wood said. She gives him
credit for instilling in her
a love of Shakespeare.
Before taking a class
from Neuman, Lockwood
had never read any of
Shakespeares work. Neu-
man made the English
bard interesting and un-
derstandable. She contin-
ued to read Shakespeares
plays and developed a
taste for drama. Lockwood
later became active in
community theater and
became a driving force
behind the Crossroads
Theatre Guild. Neuman,
Lockwood said, gave me
a love of drama that lasted
beyond school days. With-
out him initiating that
interest, it wouldnt have
happened.
And even in his end-of-
life request, Scott saw in
Neuman an educator who
cared about people.
It is no great surprise
that he asked that our fi-
nal tribute to him be made
through library dona-
tions, libraries, for all the
people, Scott said. He

New idea freshens up river

By Karen Hopper Usher
Weekly Voice
EVART A new ap-
proach to cleaning up the
Muskegon River in Evart
put more crews in canoes
this year.
More crews meant more
miles of the river were
beautified, with trash
plucked from the waters.
It was the fourth year
for the clean-up. In the
past, the city scheduled
the clean-ups on weekends
and relied on community
volunteers, said Mark Wil-
son, the director of the de-
partment of public works
for the city of Evart.
But then Arlene Ander-
son-Vincent, the natural
resource manager at Ice
Mountain Natural Spring
Water, which funds the
event, suggested doing
things a little differently,
Wilson said.
By holding the clean-up
during the work week,
the city could reach out
to businesses. Employee
volunteers could lead to a
bigger turn-out, Anderson-
Vincent suggested accord-
ing to Wilson.
It worked, he said.
Normally, two crews of
boats clean up different
sections of the river.
But this year, extra vol-
unteers meant an extra
crew rowed the river.
Pittsburgh Glass Works,
which was recently ac-
quired by Vitro, sent a
number of employees.
It was their first year
and theyll be back, said
Jamille Bacon, a human
resources manager at the
company. Its good to help
the community, she said.
I havent canoed for,
like, 22 years, so it was
kind of scary, Bacon said.
But It was fun. It was
good, it was peaceful.
Making the clean-up
day during the week also
meant people who work in
Evart but dont live there
were able to give back to
the community, Wilson
said.
Crews covered the
Jamille Bacon holds up a bag of trash, which she helped to remove from the Muskegon River near
Evart.
Its a long stretch in
river miles, Wilson said,
though he wasnt sure of
the exact number.
J&Js River Run, a water
sports livery, donated the
use of canoes, equipment
and the shuttles that took
volunteers to and from the
launch points.
I value the environ-
ment and want it to be
healthy, said John Wynia,
who owns J & Js
River Run.
His business benefits
from a clean river, he said.
And he knows some of the
stuff in the river might
have come from his cli-
ents.
Accidents happen and
stuff tips out, and he
wanted to clean up after
them, he said.
Wilson doubted that any
of the waste was hazard-
ous but getting this stuff
out of the environment is
positive, he said. Jamille Bacon poses with a tire volunteers found in the Muskegon

Grants may help underwrite countys tuition assistance program

By Andy Duffy
Weekly Voice
REED CITY It wasnt
quite manna from heaven,
but a funding option for
Osceola Countys tuition
assistance program re-
cently dropped in the lap
of the medical services
department.
The county board ap-
proved a program last
month that would offer
tuition assistance for
qualified emergency medi-
cal technicians currently
employed by the county
who wanted to receive
paramedic training.
When the county com-
missioners met Tuesday,
Jeremy Beebe, director of
emergency medical ser-
vices, told the commission-
ers that after published
reports about the program,
Michigan Works person-
nel told him grant money
was available that could
assist his department with
tuition costs.
Faced with a shortage
of paramedics, the county
had planned to spend
$3,500 per student for a
total of $14,000 in tuition
assistance. Beebe asked for
permission to apply for a
$5,250 grant from Michi-
gan Works.
The Health, Safety and ments, cash transfers, and
Grounds Committee made the county treasurers July

EVART Former Evart resident Russ
Atherton, now of Grand Rapids, and Lincoln
Heyworth, 16, of Vassar, made a brief stop
at the Evart Depot Tuesday as they passed
through town. They were part of a larger
group of bicyclists making a cross-state trip
to raise money for work in Haiti.
Atherton is a pastor in the Free Methodist
denomination and an avid biker.
Atherton and Heyworth were riding with
WOMBAT, or Wheels Over Michigan Bi-
kathon. Each summer, the group chooses a
bike tour to raise money for a missions proj-
ect. This years funds will support eye and
dental care in Haiti and will offer training in
teaching methods to teachers in the island
nation.
This year, the group is riding from Lake
Michigan to Lake Huron. Riders began
their trip Monday in Ludington and spent
Monday night at Albright Park Camp and
Retreat.
If the MDEQ approves the plan,
the company also wants to build a
booster station, a small building
which would house a pump that
would accommodate the additional
water.
The company applied for a permit
to build the station in Osceola Town-
ship but the planning commission
and then the zoning board of ap-
peals turned down the application.
So Nestl appealed to the circuit
court, then moved to stay the appeal
the foot on the brake until
after the MDEQ decides whether to
that.
Its always been about zoning,
not the MDEQ, said Tim Ladd, the
township supervisor. Going along
with Nestls stay could have mud-
died the waters, he said.
We believe that the plan we pro-
posed satisfies all applicable zoning
standards, Anderson-Vincent said
in the emailed statement.
The township expects to get a de-
cision from the circuit court judge
within three months, Ladd said.
Donations help the township with
