~For Otsego School Board~ Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2014
Dear Community Member, I married my wife, Mary, in November of 1996. We have two incredible children. Our son is very active with football, soccer and basketball and attends sixth grade at the Otsego Middle School. My daughter is a fourth grade student at Alamo Elementary and loves gymnastics. I graduated from Galesburg-Augusta High School in 1989 and in 1992 received my associate’s degree in Electronic Engineering Technology from ITT Technical Institute. I have since continued my education with Accelerated Leadership Excellence through GVSU, Administrative Lean Boot Camp, Better Business Bureau of West Michigan’s Partners in Ethics, Conference on Leadership Development and Teambuilding and VAGTC – Trade Compliance Audit Program. I am a Sales Manager and Small Business Owner and have been employed by RoMan Manufacturing for the last 19 years. I started my career in the engineering department and then was promoted to outside sales and later to sales management. I have also been a sustaining member of the American Welding Society for thirteen years. Prior to joining RoMan Manufacturing in 1996, I was a manager for Sam’s Wholesale Club for five years. I am also a partner in a commercial investment property in Newaygo County and have owned and managed several single family rental properties for the last fifteen years. I am interested in bettering the Otsego community as well and am the chairman for the Otsego Main Street Design Committee. Otsego Public Schools has an opportunity to welcome three new school board members. The board members will work with our new Superintendent, which will bring fresh ideas and perspectives to the school district. I would like to be a part of decisions that will provide the highest quality of education for my children and for yours. Please vote for me for Otsego School Board on November 4, 2014.

I am Renny Ransbottom, a long-standing community member and area business owner for over 20 years. I've been married for 37 years and have two children; we are all Otsego Public School graduates. I am a 13-year member of the Board of Education for Otsego Public Schools, serving 10 of those years as board president. I have been an active member of the Michigan Associations of School Boards (MASB) which has led me to complete 87 CBA classes and attend 11 state conferences as a voting delegate. As a result of my involvement with OPS and MASB, I hold a Level 7 - President's Award, Advocacy Skills and Data Specialty Awards and Member Assisting Peers designation. I am currently serving on the MASB Board of Directors and was appointed as chair of the Government Relations committee for the MASB. In my years serving the Otsego Public Schools, I have volunteered as a coach for Odyssey of the MInd, volunteered on Post Prom committee, and was the Treasurer of the Band Boosters for 14 years. I am also currently serving as Treasurer of the Otsego District Library Board and Treasurer of the Otsego Public Schools Foundation. I would like to continue serving on the School Board to help foster an understanding of the vital role of school board members, support our educators, and to promote quality public education for every student in our community. I feel that my experience as an active community member and on the Board of Education will be beneficial as we move forward with our new superintendent. I look forward to the opportunity to continue to improve the Otsego Public School District.

Open Letter to Kennedy/Hyet We were happy to learn that you now support the Township’s Road Program. The first phase is now complete and we are showing over a $65,000 surplus – a testament to the Township’s skillful management of our taxpayers’ resources. The surplus fully validates the year and a half of planning and citizen participation spent in forming the program. Starting with the Township Board establishing a Road Committee made up of fellow residents. After their careful study was completed, we held four face-to-face community meetings to work out an acceptable funding mechanism. We wrote newsletter articles (Summer, Fall, Winter 2013 and Winter 2014) explaining the Program and even advertised the meetings in the Shopper. One meeting had over 300 people in attendance, dutifully taking citizens input. We even incorporated your suggestion to reduce the farm community contribution by 50%. Shortly after ward, you officially registered (May Spcl online minutes) opposition to the Roads Program and now find yourselves making an about-face in light of its success and overwhelming public support. The process by which we created the Roads Program proves that with a clear vision and engaged citizen participation, township problems can be solved. We are presently using this winning formula to tackle other problems in the Township including economic development, bringing natural gas to more homes, working with our firefighters to improve their department and enhancing our Township Museum and Park. We feel the voters of Alamo Township deserve nothing less from us.

CHRISTOPHER SLINKMAN for Plainwell City Council
I was born and raised in Plainwell, where I continue to reside with my wife Amanda and our two daughters. I have a background as a foster care specialist and mental health case manager, and currently work with area hospitals in customer service. I also serve as a Plainwell’s Planning Commissioner. I have a bachelor of social work from WMU with a focus on substance abuse. I have an associate in Criminal Justice from Kalamazoo Valley Community College and am a proud graduate of Plainwell High School.
Why should people vote for me? As a long-standing native resident of Plainwell, I am dedicated to the advocacy and best interests of my neighbors. I would advocate for having a Plainwell High School student council bring their unique views to the city council quarterly, a warm-welcome plan for new residents, and accountability for leadership in the city, including discussions on mandated trainings for new leaders to appointed positions. We need to continue supporting local business by tax abatements to bring local jobs and business longevity to the Plainwell economy. Intelligent decisions like the city hall mill move over time will play a critical role in cutting wasteful spending. I will represent the people, by the people, and for the people.

Did you know? Starting in 1911, Nicholas Pell owned the nearby grocery business at 519 E. Bridge Street. In 1913, Nicholas Pell graded the land for a new building next to his existing store. After Nicholas Pell’s death in 1935, his son Peter moved to Plainwell to take charge of his late father’s store. Peter ran the store until 1940. Nicholas also owned the Eastside Grocery. Over the course of the next several years, 615 E. Bridge and the nearby Eastside Grocery were owned by family members on three different occasions. He sold the store in June of 1923. The building is now Nancy’s Kitchen.

How to Dig Out Your Car After A Storm
Fall...On The ROAD I NOVEMBER 1, 2014 I COMMUNITY SHOPPERS GUIDE...OTSEGO, MI 49078
The arrival of cooler, shorter days is often a precursor to winter storms dominated by snowfall. A snow-covered landscape can make for an appealing image. But heavy snowfall also makes for extra work, especially for drivers who must dig their vehicles out of the snow after each storm.
Some people live in suburban areas where they can park their cars in driveways or garages, while others live in cities and have to park on the street, where snow plows can

do a wonderful job of burying vehicles underneath mounds of snow. Rescuing a car or truck from a pile of snow can be tricky and time-consuming, but there is a process that can make the job easier. • Begin by clearing out the tail pipe of the car. This is a vital first step because failure to do so can back harmful carbon monoxide gas and other fumes into the car. Take the time to clear out the rear of the car, including the taillights, so you will have improved visibility.

• Use your shovel to carefully remove as much snow as possible from around the tires. Be careful not to puncture the tire with a metal shovel. Try to create a tire path in the direction you plan to move the vehicle. So if you will be backing out of the driveway, clear the way behind the car. If traction is a problem, use a bit of rock salt or cat litter behind the tires to give them more grip. Slipping a car mat under the tires also can provide much-needed traction. • Exercise caution if you are digging out a car on a busy roadway. Make yourself visible to other motorists and use traffic cones, if you have them, to keep drivers away from your vehicle. Do not shovel the snow in the path of oncoming vehicles. Shoveling out after a snowstorm is a task few people enjoy. However, it is a necessity of the season and one that can be done safely and efficiently.

• When the exhaust pipe is clear, turn on the car. Some people prefer to put the defroster on right away. Others wait until the vehicle warms up before doing so. Having a warm car will melt some of the accumulated ice and snow and make it easier for you to clear the car. • The right tools make faster work of the task at hand. A shovel is a necessity, and a telescoping snow broom/ice scraper can be helpful. This allows you to safely push the snow off the roof of the car. Some regions fine drivers who do not remove snow from the roofs or hoods of their cars, so take the time to clean such snow before driving. • Work from the top of the vehicle down. Otherwise, you will end up negating all of your work by throwing fresh snow on the areas you already cleared. • By now the defrosters should have kicked in sufficiently enough to make it simple to clear snow from the windshield and rear window. Use some deicing windshield fluid to dislodge wiper blades if they have frozen to the windshield. Some drivers leave their wiper blades standing on end and away from the windshield prior to a big storm to prevent them from freezing to the windshield. Consider this trick if you’re especially worried about the blades freezing to the glass.

Tires · Those who live in particularly cold climates should switch from all-season to winter tires. Much as you wear winter boots to provide more traction and protection than sneakers, so should you equip your vehicle with tires that will stand up to winter terrain.
Battery · Check on the status of your battery and its starting power. Cold weather can put more
Wiper Blades · Replace worn wiper blades and upgrade to a windshield fluid that is rated for subzero temperatures. Each of these items will improve visibility when winter precipitation is making its presence felt.
Oil · Schedule an oil change at the beginning of winter. Dirty oil can hinder cold-weather starts and, if coupled with low coolant levels, can make it difficult for the engine to turn over.
Jumper Cables · Keep jumper cables, a battery booster pack and warning cones in your vehicle. These can come to the rescue if your battery dies

How to Improve
Fall...On The ROAD I NOVEMBER 1, 2014 I COMMUNITY SHOPPERS GUIDE...OTSEGO, MI 49078
Winter Fuel Economy Many motorists notice that their vehicles seem to get less miles per gallon in cold weather than in warm weather. That’s not a trick of the brain, as studies have shown that cars do, in fact, have poorer fuel in economy in cold weather.
According to the United States Department of Energy, fuel economy tests have indicated that, when driving in short-trip city driving, a conventional gasoline car’s gas mileage is about 12 percent lower at 20 F than it would be at 77 F. The disparity is even greater in hybrid vehicles, which can see their fuel economy decline by roughly 34 percent when driven at 20 F. Before drivers can understand how to improve their winter fuel economy, it’s beneficial to learn why cold weather has such an adverse effect on a car’s fuel economy.
A host of factors combine to reduce fuel economy in the winter. When temperatures dip, engine oil and other drive-line fluids also get colder, and this increases engine and transmission friction. That forces the vehicle to work harder and use more fuel. An engine also takes longer to reach its most fuelefficient temperature when the weather outside is cold. This won’t have too great an impact on fuel efficiency when taking long trips, but the shorter the trip the less economical the vehicle’s use of fuel will be, as a shorter trip means the vehicle is spending a larger percentage of the overall drive at a less fuel efficient temperature. Another reason fuel economy suffers in the
winter is the necessities and certain creature comforts drivers need when driving in the cold weather. Windshield defrosters and vehicle heating systems use a substantial amount of power, and that usage forces the vehicle to expend more energy and use more fuel. And while many drivers consider heated seats one of the greatest automotive inventions known to man, those seats also use up a lot of power that negatively impacts fuel economy.
But factors outside the vehicle also impact its fuel economy in the winter. For example, colder temperatures decrease tire pressure, and that increases roll resistance, which means the car must work harder and use more fuel to get down the street than it would if it were riding on fully inflated tires in the summertime. Cold air also is more dense than warm air, and that increases aerodynamic drag on the vehicle, which then needs to use more fuel to counter the increased drag.
So what can be done to improve fuel economy in the winter? Fortunately, drivers can take several steps to do just that.
• Park the vehicle in a garage. Leaving your car in the driveway in the winter means you might have to dig the vehicle out come winter snowstorms. But that’s not the only inconvenience of parking your vehicle outside in the winter, as doing so can adversely affect its fuel economy. When possible, park the car in the garage, as this increases the initial temperature of the
engine, engine oil, drive-line fluids, and the vehicle’s cabin. This can shorten the time it takes for the engine to reach its most fuelefficient temperature while decreasing the engine and transmission friction that negatively impacts fuel efficiency. • Disregard conventional wisdom. Conventional wisdom has long suggested that idling a vehicle for several minutes will warm up the engine more quickly than simply driving. But many vehicle manufacturers now recommend that drivers idle their vehicles for no more than 30 seconds, noting that idling the car unnecessarily wastes fuel and that driving the vehicle is the fastest way to warm up its engine. If you must warm up the vehicle, stick to the now widely accepted guideline that recommends idling for no more than half a minute.
Another nugget of conventional wisdom motorists may want to ignore concerns the motor oil they use in the winter. Many vehicle manufacturers now recommend a specific type of oil to use when driving in cold weather, so follow that advice instead of adhering to past practices that may not have been as fuel efficient.
• Monitor tire pressure. As noted, colder temperatures decrease tire pressure, so drivers should monitor their tire pressure regularly throughout winter to keep their vehicle safe and to ensure they are not wasting fuel. • Remove the roof rack. Summer adventurists who love tying their mountain
bike or kayak to their vehicles’ roof rack before heading off to explore parts unknown should remove those roof racks when the temperatures dip. Roof racks increase wind resistance and decrease fuel economy, so remove them during the offseasons. Fuel economy will almost certainly decrease when the mercury drops. But drivers can employ a number of strategies to make their vehicles more fuel efficient in cold weather.

Words of
Faith &Hope
“EXPECT A MIRACLE!”
“All things are possible to him who believes” – Mark 9:23 Do you believe in miracles?
A miracle may be defined as a supernatural intervention of God in human events. My very life is a miracle of God. I was born premature, weighed 3 lb. 3 oz. at birth and spent the first six weeks of my life in an incubator. I was not expected to live.
Over the years of pastoral ministry I have witnessed several miracles. I have witnessed miracles in my own family and in the lives of persons I have served. I have seen the love of Christ change lives and heal bodies.
The operative word for “Words of Faith and Hope” is believe. To believe is to put our entire trust in Jesus Christ for salvation and for daily living. “Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” (Hebrews 11:1).
One example is the healing of the boy with an evil spirit (Mark 9:14 -29). This story follows the transfiguration of Jesus Christ (another miracle). There are at least 3 take-aways from this story: l. The compassion of Jesus. 2. The creation of faith in the boy’s father. 3. The ability of Christ to perform miracles.
Sometimes we believe, but we are still unsure. In other words, our faith is not complete.
Jesus honored the father for being honest about his feelings and Christ did heal the young man. Moral of the story: If we will act on the faith we have, it will be enough to perform miracles!
Good news: The power of Jesus Christ to perform miracles is still present in our world today if only we choose to believe. Prayer: Lord, I believe! In Jesus’ name. Amen. Peace to you and please join us for worship this Sunday in a church where Jesus’ love is lived.

Cuddly Charm!
Emmy is a young female Chihuahua that was born a princess and takes pleasure in being treated like one! Emmy likes to cuddle in bed at night, likes children and enjoys her walks. She gets along with other dogs as long as they are her size; otherwise she gets a little confrontational with larger dogs. This 7 lb. pint size delight is just an all around great girl and if pampering a pooch is your thing, we have the dog you have been waiting for. Call or email anytime.
