MARTIN
Dear Class of 2020,
Congratulations from Clipper Nation! We are so excited for what lies ahead for you beyond your graduation, but we are saddened that we cannot provide you with the traditional graduation ceremony you have earned and more importantly deserve!
Flower: Sunflower Colors: Silver & Gold Song: Come and Get Your Love ~ by Redbone Quote: I wish there was a way to know you’re in the good old days before you’ve actually left them. ~ Andy Bernard, The Office
Individually and collectively, you are a remarkable class. During your time in the hallowed halls of Martin High School, you have raised the bar regarding the 3-As: Academics, Arts and Athletics. Academically, your class had one of the tightest races for Valedictorian and Salutatorian honors in recent history, with the Top 5 ranging from 3.95 to 4.0. In the Arts, our band did well in District Solo and Ensemble competitions. Our Athletic teams experienced a very successful year: our basketball teams were still in tournament play when school ended; our athletes received numerous All-Conference and All-State awards.
If there was a class that could weather the COVID-19 storm, hands down it is you. You have displayed maturity, perseverance and empathy through this time. Words cannot begin to express how proud we are to call you Martin Alumni! Congratulations to each and everyone of you. You have done Martin proud!!

“OUR HELPER”
By Rev. Dan Minor
-
revdminor1945@gmail.com _____________________________________
And I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another Helper” (John 14:16 Moffatt Translation)
Let’s admit it. On some level, we all need help. When our lives are put on hold, we need to find a way forward. We need a helper. The disciples were in a desperate situation following the death of Jesus Christ. Their lives were clearly on hold! How could they live without His physical presence? Fortunately for them (and for us) Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to help them carry on His purpose and ministry on earth (Acts 2). We celebrate the help God sent on what is called Pentecost Sunday (May 31 this year). This event is just as important as Christmas and Easter. The message of Christmas: Jesus is born! The message of Easter: Jesus lives! The message of Pentecost: He lives in us! (John 14:16-17). Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to give birth to the church and to help the apostles by empowering them to carry the gospel “to the ends of the earth” (Acts
1:8).
Here are some more ways the Holy Spirit helps us in our daily lives: • Convicts us of sin (John 16:8). • Fills us – (Ephesians 5:l8). • Indwells us (I Corinthians 6:19, 20). • Seals us for eternity (Ephesians 1:13). • Helps us when we pray (Romans 8:26, 27). • Helps us to become more like Jesus (Galatians 5:22, 23).
• Empowers us for service (Acts l: 8). • Encourages us (Acts 9:31). • Equips us with spiritual gifts (I Corinthians 12:4-7). • Counselor/Advocate – literally one who stands by us and pleads our case in a court of law (John 14:16). • Comforter - another word for Counselor or Advocate (John 14:16). • Is our standard for truth (John 14:17). • Guides us – “into all truth” (John 16:13). • Teaches us – (John 14:26). • Reminds us of the things of God – (John 14:26).
In these trying times it is good to remember: Help is available! All we need to do is ask!
Prayer: Dear God, we are asking you now to fill us with Your Holy Spirit. In Your strong name we pray. Amen.

MONTANA
ADOPTABLE Pet of the Week! is a big, lovable girl!
She is a bit like a big puppy, and is very sweet and friendly. She loves attention and going for long walks. Although she hasn't had much experience playing with toys, she is definitely a playful dog. Montana was surrendered with her brother Silver, who is also available for adoption. Adopters with German Shepard experience are preferred, but not required. Montana is two years old and weighs approximately 105 pounds. Montana's forever home should be cat free, but she could have a doggy sibling. She does prefer the company of male dogs. If you'd like to meet Montana, please fill out an adoption application at wishbonepetrescue.org. Once your application has been processed and approved, an appointment will be set up at the Allegan County Animal Shelter. If you already have a dog in the home, a meet and greet between the dogs will be conducted at that time to determine if the dogs are a good match. If you are interested in meeting Montana, please fill out an adoption application and call 269-686-5112 to set up an appointment to meet her. Visit: wishbonepetrescue.com The Allegan County Animal Shelter is operated by Wishbone Pet Rescue. Sponsored by

Darl Lee HENDRIXSON
Rani L. JOHNSON
Darl went to be with his Lord on May 21, 2020, after losing his battle with coronavirus. Born in the Otsego, Michigan area, he was the son of Harley and Gladys (Brenner) Hendrixson. He graduated from Otsego High School in 1960, and went on to proudly serve his country for 4 years in the United States Air Force. Darl owned and operated his own construction business, Hendrixson Construction, and served the greater Kalamazoo area with expert craftsmanship for over 45 years. He was previously married to Linda Wolf, sharing 23 years and two children together. Darl was an avid outdoorsman who had a love and passion for archery, guns, hunting, and fishing. He also had a love for farming and fixing anything that was mechanical. He will be remembered by his family for his giving heart, his awkward sense of humor, his dedication and love for his kids, his ability to never be wrong, and mostly for giving life lessons that usually came in the form of some quote like, “Can’t never did nothing,” or “Let’s go! We gotta do something, even if it’s wrong.” His family cherishes his memory, and will think of him often “up in that big pasture in the sky.” Darl is survived by his children, Darin & Sarah (Casey) Hendrixson, his siblings, Irwin ‘Gus’ Hendrixson, Nancy (Clayton) Marshall, and Larry (Beverly) Hendrixson. He was preceded in death by his parents, Harley & Gladys, and his brother, Dale. Funeral services are being arranged by Winkel Funeral Home - Otsego but will be delayed until full military honors can be given at his final resting place in Fort Custer National Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation.
On Friday, May 22nd, Rani Lee (Yennelli) Johnson of Allegan passed away peacefully, at Rose Arbor Hospice in Kalamazoo. She was born on Nov. 14, 1948, to Samuel and Barbara Yennelli in Allegan. Rani graduated with honors from Allegan High School in 1966, and attended both Ferris State and Western Michigan Universities. She was preceded in death by her sister Cynthia Hahn and is survived by her son, Dominick Johnson and granddaughter Rachel Lee Johnson. My Mom was an avid reader and known for her boisterous laugh and zany sense of humor. As a lifelong resident of Allegan, over the years many people in the community helped my Mom with all sorts of different things, our family deeply appreciates everything all of you did. Specifically, I would like to thank Lori Mills and Beverly Kluzak for their years of great care and true kindness-my Mother loved you both, thank you for bringing her peace. According to her wishes cremation has taken place. Burial of ashes will take place at Hudson Corners Cemetery. Contributions in memory of Rani may be made to Allegan County Medical Care Community.
AGE 77 • OTSEGO, MI
Jerry Willis OETMAN AGE 88 • OTSEGO, MI
Jerry passed away peacefully at home of natural causes on May 26, 2020. Jerry was born April 23, 1932, the oldest son of Viva and Clarence Oetman. Jerry was a lifelong resident of the Otsego area where he worked as a draftsman and at local paper mills, as well as at Rockwell, Int. in Allegan. He married Illene Ballay in 1952 and together they raised five children on the family farm in Watson Township: Debi (Chris) Kraft of Chesterfield MI; Mike (Donna) Oetman of Rockford MI; Major David (Erika) Oetman (deceased 2018); Kathy (Jon) Rockwood of Muskegon MI, Joni (John) VanNieuwenhuyzen of Shelbyville MI. Jerry is preceded in death by his parents, his brother LaVern Oetman and son David Lee Oetman. He is survived by his wife of 68 years, four of his children, and sisters Janet Lamb and Marlene Wearne of Plainwell MI. Grandpa Jerry was also adored by 15 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren. Jerry loved the outdoors and had a strong connection with nature and animals. His sheep and geese were a common sight on the hillside of Schnable Creek and he could identify every tree in the woods on his farm. He enjoyed attending grandchildren’s events, playing dominoes, and his “Breakfast Club” at McDonalds. His analytical mind led him to be quite skilled at Sudoku and jigsaw puzzles, often working over the winter months on puzzles up to 9000 pieces! Tinkering with old farm equipment was one of his talents, which he shared readily with farm neighbors. He was involved in Allegan County 4-H for over 40 years, specifically the Watson Corners Livestock Club. Jerry will be remembered for his quiet, steady nature – a man of few words who always had a twinkle in his eye. Jerry will be interred at Maplewood Cemetery in Hopkins, MI. Due to national circumstances, a memorial celebration of Jerry’s life will be held at a later date. Memorial contributions may be made in his name to Allegan County 4-H or Wings of Hope Hospice.

SUMMER CAR CARE I 2020
Charge Up Your Car Battery Knowledge There is quite literally a lot riding on a functioning battery. No one wants to be caught stranded by a dead battery, so drivers may wonder if there are any indicators that may signal the battery needs replacement.
Car batteries are an important component of any vehicle. Even though engines are the powerhouse of any car or truck, without a battery, the engine wouldn’t be able to work. According to Firestone Complete Auto Care, car batteries work by providing a jolt of electricity necessary to power all the electrical components of the vehicle. This is achieved through a chemical reaction that changes chemical energy into the electrical energy needed to deliver voltage to the starter. In addition to initially starting the car, the battery also keeps electric current steady to keep the engine running.
• Slow turnover: If a vehicle does not immediately start or if the cranking is sluggish and takes longer to start, it may mean the battery is starting to fail. • Frequent, short trips: Drivers who make frequent, short trips may find their car batteries do not have time to fully recharge. This, coupled with overtaxing thanks to a lot of accessory use, may cause the battery and the alternator to have shortened life spans.
The battery also works in conjunction with the alternator to power the electronics in the car, according to the automotive information blog Autosessive. While the car is running, the alternator reverses the current produced by the battery, recharging it as a result. This happens during long
• Low battery fluid levels: If the fluid level is below the energy conductor inside, it is often indicative of overcharging and excessive heat. • Corrosion: Corrosion buildup, dust,
dirt, and grime on battery connections may cause performance problems. Inspecting and cleaning the terminals can prolong the battery life.
last up to five years. Neglect can reduce that life expectancy considerably. • Bloated or cracked battery case: Replace the battery immediately if the case is cracking, as it could be because excessive heat is swelling the battery. Understanding how car batteries work can help drivers keep their cars running smoothly.
• Odors and leaks: Battery leaks can produce a sulfur odor similar to the smell of a rotten egg. This can become problematic over time, and leaks may indicate an aging or damaged battery. • Age: Most batteries have a finite life span. A well-maintained battery can
