Eric explained, “We have a large 8,000 sq. ft. facility that is well-equipped for physical therapy including a full gym, aquatic therapy and massage therapy services. This is an excellent space to treat our patients as well as provide a long-term solution for health and fitness after the PT/rehab process is complete. All of our patients receive 1-on-1 care and will see the same therapist each and every visit throughout their course of treatment. We specialize in Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapy (OMPT), with all of our therapists completing this additional two year residency program beyond the typical physical therapy degree. We treat patients of all ages with a wide variety of orthopedic and neurologic conditions including athletic injuries, after surgery, and as a result of degenerative changes. Specialties include running/gait evaluation, sports performance, back and neck pain and vertigo/vestibular rehab.” Please stop in to learn more about OMPT Specialists or call (269)222-5400 to see what they can do for you.

Gone,
But Never Forgotten
Honoring the Memory of Our Heroes in Uniform
On Memorial Day, we pause to reflect on the service and sacrifice of the men and women of our Armed Forces. We honor the memory of those who lost their lives protecting our nation’s freedom, and we salute all those who have served in our military past and present. Their selfless dedication reminds us that freedom is not free, and we will never forget their courage and extraordinary contribution to our country.

Barbara Jean (Harper) Adrianson was born on January 2, 1937 at William Crispe Hospital in Plainwell, Michigan and passed away on May 20, 2021 at the Wings of Hope Hospice Home in Allegan, Michigan. She was preceded in death by her parents Russell Harper Sr. and Goldie (Hoyt) Harper, and her brother Russell Harper Jr. She grew up on the family farm helping her dad whenever needed in the fields. She was a member of the North Otsego 4H Club for several years. This is where she learned many things, including her lifetime hobby of knitting. Barbara went to country school through the eighth grade. When she was eight she started taking piano lessons and played for all the programs in the one room school. Her teacher was not as good a piano player as Barbara. In the seventh grade she went to Otsego Public School where she played the piano and organ for many different events while in school. Barbara graduated from Otsego High School in 1955. In the fall of the same year she went to County Normal to become a teacher. In the fall of 1956, Barb started teaching in the Allegan County one room schools. She taught in three different schools until the spring of 1962. Barbara met Jerry Adrianson at Smitty’s City Service in Otsego. Their first date was on July 4, 1961 and they have been together ever since. They were married on October 31, 1961. She was a housewife and mother to their four children and was an active member of her community. She was a Cub Scout leader, a Girl Scout leader and helped on many occasions with her daughter’s Campfire group. She was a school room mother, a Sunday School teacher, gave piano, knitting and crocheting lessons in her home. For several years she played the piano and organ for Sunday School and church services and for many weddings. She loved to go camping, go to tractor shows, flea markets and garage sales, read, work in her flower garden and do word searches. In 1974, Barbara became a part time cleaner for the Barry County Telephone Company offices, where she worked for 28 years. In later years, she began to clean for the post office, starting with one office and working up to four offices. For two years she cleaned the post offices by herself, and for ten years Jerry and Barbara cleaned together until their retirement. In addition to her husband, Barbara is survived by her children: Alan (Michele) Adrianson, David (Marjorie) Adrianson, Wendy (Toribio) Estrada, Suzanna (Zachary) Mohney; five grandchildren: Juan, Nicholas, and Marcelino Estrada, Kyle and Nathaniel Adrianson. A funeral service was held on Wednesday, May 26 at the Williams Gores Funeral Home in Delton. Burial took place in Prairieville Cemetery.

While authorship of the letter has been debated by scholars over the years, the letter shows the heart of Lincoln who wrote, in part, “…I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom. Yours, very sincerely and respectfully, A. Lincoln”
I believe the feelings and expression in this letter is timeless and offers comfort to any family who has lost loved ones in any war in service to their country. This would be in line with what General John A. Logan intended only four years later when he founded Memorial Day in l868. He was commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, a private organization representing the Union Army veterans. Although originally known as Decoration Day, Logan intended this to be “for the purpose of strewing flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country …” Jesus said, “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends” (N.I.V.). To that end let us remember those who gave the supreme sacrifice and let us thank all who have served and all who are presently serving their country.
Prayer: Dear Lord, thank you for the gift of eternal life. In Your strong name. Amen.
St. Vincent de Paul thanks you for your support!

Nick BETZNER
AGE 30 - PLAINWELL, MI
Nick Betzner, age 30 of Plainwell, passed away on May 22, 2021 at Ascension Borgess Hospital. Nick was born on November 27, 1990 in California. Nick Betzner didn't have an easy life. Abused as a young child, he suffered from what most people would call "profound disabilities." Unable to see and being dependent on others to move around, were to be his lot in life. Add to this his inability to speak and you have a situation most would call an unlucky existence, at best. But no, not for Nick. He had heart and a mind that endured, and was soon to be the beneficiary of a dose of good luck. It happened at Hillside Learning Center in Allegan, where Nick attended school each day. One of his caregivers there was Becky Elkins who, along with other caregivers, bonded with this young man immediately. When shortly thereafter it was decided that Nick needed to be placed in a better living environment, Becky and Bob were urged to take Nick into foster-care in their home. When that happened Nick became a member of a loving family larger than he could have imagined. Joining him was Tasha, his adoptive sister, who was also a Hillside student. The Elkins house became a crowded beehive of activity because of one family rule: if the family goes, everyone goes. When you join a family and get five siblings as part of the deal, get ready for some action. McKinnon, Bobby, Freddie, Mari and Katelin were all active and Nick was one of their biggest fans. At courtside for basketball games, in the stands for football games, attending wrestling events or cheering on the girls at barrel racing events, Nick and Tasha were always there. Nick especially loved the excitement of crowd events, and would smile approvingly at all the hooting and hollering that went on there. Being a fixture at these events made Nick a celebrity of sorts, as many of the spectators were sure to stop by and say hi to him as they passed. At the horse events, Nick could be seen riding a horse with Mari's help. In fact, all of his family members shared their world with him. Family gatherings, especially around the Holidays, were fun and Nick and Tasha enjoyed the merriment, the music and the laughter that filled the rooms. Everyone deserves a nickname and Nick was "Nickel the Pickle." When you said his nickname Nick would snort and smile. That was his laughter and it was contagious--the more he snorted the more everyone shared in the laughter. He seemed especially excited when you asked if he wanted to hear a dirty joke, and his glee was instantaneous. At one of his medical visits, the Doctor and nurse were talking and a mild swear word was uttered. Immediately Nick starting his snorting, pointing out to all that he was always paying attention. One of Nick's loves was music and music was everywhere. Whether it was a family member playing a musical instrument, or whether he had headphones on with his favorite playlist playing, he was happy and content. We all hope that they have music in Heaven. Rest in peace Nickel the Pickle! Nick is survived by his parents, Robert and Rebecca Elkins; siblings: Tasha Betzner, Katelin Elkins, McKinnon and Becky Elkins, Bobby Elkins and Brook Wooten, Freddie Elkins, and Mari Elkins; grandparents: Tom and Christy Dutcher and Jane and Robert Sr. Elkins; nieces and nephews: Grant Roberts, Emma Bruischart, Harley Bruischart, Robert IV Elkins, Raelynn Elkins, and Hazel Elkins. A funeral service was held on Thursday, May 27, 2021, at the Pentecostal Church of Christ. Burial took place at Oak Hill Cemetery. Those who wish to make memorial contributions are asked to consider the needs of the family.

RED...
ADOPTABLE Pet of the Week! Red is SUCH a cool dog! He is loving, he is smart, he is fun and he is a happy guy. Red was taught Sit, Shake, and Laydown. Red clearly loves to stretch out in the sun and relax! He has a good level of energy to go for walks and play or he would love to relax and just hang out. Red is an easy going guy and he gets along good with most other dogs. If you already have a dog in your home a meet and greet will be set up at the shelter to make sure the dogs are a good match. Although Red does well with dogs he should have a cat free home. Red is a super sweet dog and he would do well in a home with children, we recommend children in his forever home are 8 years old and up. Red is estimated to be 2 years old; he weighs 68.5 pounds. And he is potty trained. Unfortunately Red did test positive for heartworms. He will be started on the slow kill treatment method and adopters will need to commit to completing his treatment. This dog is awesome, please do not let this treatment prevent you from adopting him. Believe us, once you meet him you will fall in love. If you’re interested in Red please fill out an adoption application at wishbonepetrescue.org Allegan County Animal Shelter is operated by Wishbone Pet Rescue Alliance. Sponsored by
