With deep sorrow, our family is heartbroken to announce the passing of Ashley on May 16, 2020, in Springfield Illinois. Ashley was born November 29, 1990. Mourning the loss of Ashley is her father Todd V. 0'Dell of Plainwell, Michigan. Ashley is survived by fiance, Tim Day and their sons Jaxton and Easton Day as well as several Aunts, Uncles, cousins, friends near and far and her fur-baby Lanie. Ashley is proceeded in death by her Grandmother Norrine J. Howe-O'Dell and cousin Ann Marie. Ashley was a homemaker and her greatest joy was being a loving, attentive, caring and fun Mom to Jaxton and Easton and her lively spirit will continue to shine in their eyes. Ashley loved to cook and was known for making brunches and holiday meals shared with family and friends and enjoyed the morning "coffee clutch" time with you on her patio. Ashley's imprint of quick wits, infectious smiles, laughter, her beauty and compassion will forever be held tight, cherished, and greatly missed. Ashley's dad, Todd asks ... "spend time with your children, take a walk on the beach with your loved ones, and make a toast to enduring friendships lifelong and beyond." This is what Ashley would wish for. Private family services were held on May 26, 2020, and laid to rest at Oak Ridge Cemetery in Springfield, Illinois. Ashley's Celebration of life will be held in Plainwell at a later date.

Effective and Efficient:
Last year, the estimated total U.S. daily newspaper circulation reached 35 million Americans for weekday delivery and 38 million for Sunday. It is an audience that not only believes in the importance of journalism but also understands that print is a pretty good technology. Print advertising may not be as popular with some businesses these days, but it is still a very useful method of promotion. Your best option is to use a combination of both online and print marketing, to reach as many people as possible in as many ways as you can. - Shannon Bowman Excerpts from “Don’t Count Print Out Just Yet” 2/8/19

“IN PERSON WORSHIP” By Rev. Dan Minor
-
revdminor1945@gmail.com _____________________________________
“So the temple of the Lord was restored to service” – 2 Chronicles 29:35 Since ancient times the practice of worship has always been connected to a building. Among other things, King David is credited for laying the groundwork for the original Temple (I Chronicles). His son, Solomon, oversaw the actual building of the first Temple in the Old City of Jerusalem (2 Chronicles).
N.T. Wright, a professor of the New Testament, prolific author and scholar calls our Stay-At-Home period a time of “enforced exile.” This brings to mind the story of the Babylonian captivity. It was a period in Jewish history when the ancient Kingdom of Judah was captives in Babylon.
During the exile, they were away from the Temple. Their song of lament was “How can we sing the song of the Lord while in a foreign land?” (Psalm 137:4). One can only imagine their joy upon being allowed to return to their place of worship (2 Chronicles 29:35)!
We have heard it said, “The church is not a building.” While this is true, the building has always been a powerful symbol in the community as a place for shared worship, Christian growth, fellowship and outreach.
There are at least two ways to prepare for in-person worship: 1) Physically – making sure our building is clean and safe; 2) Spiritually – making sure we come to church with the right spirit. Let us consider the latter.
1. We can prepare ourselves PRAYERFULLY.
Jesus said, “My house shall be a house of prayer” (Matthew 21:13; Isaiah 56:7).
When Hezekiah re-opened the Temple (2 Chronicles 29:3-31-31:1-21), purification and cleansing were a huge part of the preparation. The Psalmist said the way to approach God’s holy place is “with clean hands and a pure heart” (Psalm 24:4). Prayer: Dear Lord, cleanse my heart by the inspiration of Your Holy Spirit that I may worship You with a cleansed soul and pure motives. In Your strong name. Amen.
2. We can prepare ourselves MINDFULLY.
The Bible talks about having “the mind of Christ” (Philippians 2:5). To have the mind of Christ is to have the same attitude of Christ (N.I.V.). This means to humble ourselves before Him (Philippians 2:8).
3. We can prepare ourselves SACRIFICIALLY.
The following words from Romans 12:1 comes from THE BIBLE IN CONTEMPORARY LANGUAGE, THE MESSAGE, Eugene H. Peterson.
“… Take your everyday, ordinary life – your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life – and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him.” As we return to in person worship, let us do so prayerfully, mindfully and sacrificially. Amen.

of Hamilton will celebrate their 50th Anniversary on June 26, 2020. They were married in the Martin Reformed Church by the Rev. Donald Bekkering.
q Bonnie is the most happy pup you will meet and Clyde is the sweetest silly guy. Both dogs love water and really enjoy the small kiddie pool at the animal shelter. They don't play with toys, but they do love attention and taking walks. Bonnie and Clyde are likely mother and son and are definitely most happy when they are together. It would be ideal if these two were adopted into the same forever family. If that is not possible, they will need to be adopted into homes that already have a dog or dogs in the home. Bonnie is estimated to be about 9 years old and weighs around 90 pounds. Clyde is estimated to be 7 years old and weighs approximately 103 pounds. Bonnie has shown some interest in playing with cats, while Clyde is less interested in them. Both these chunky pups would be thrilled to have a forever home with kids to love them up. If you have been thinking about adding a couple of awesome dogs to your home, please consider Bonnie and Clyde. Adoption applications are available online at wishbonepetrescue.org. Once approved, an appointment will be set up at the Allegan County Animal Shelter for you to meet these two happy doggies.

2019 Water Quality Report for Otsego Township
!
!
!
!
!
This report covers the drinking water quality for Otsego Township for the calendar year 2019 2018. This information is a snapshot of the quality of the water that we provided to 2019 Included are details about where your water you in 2018. comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state standards.
!
Your water comes from three groundwater wells and is treated with liquid chlorine to provide water system disinfection. The township has a 500,000 gallon elevated water storage tank, and an emergency water supply interconnection with the cities of Plainwell and Otsego. The State performed an assessment of our source water in 2003 to determine the susceptibility or the relative potential of contamination. The susceptibility rating is on a seven-tiered scale from "very-low" to "very-high" based primarily on geologic sensitivity, water chemistry and contaminant sources. The susceptibility of our source has been determined to be moderate by the Department of Environmental Quality. We are making efforts to protect our sources. The Township completed the wellhead protection program to protect the ground water resource serving the Township's wells. If you would like to know more about the report please contact the Otsego Township Hall at (269) 694-9434, Monday through Thursday, 8:00 am until 4:00 pm. Contaminants and their presence in water: Drinking Water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).
•
Vulnerability of sub-populations: Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. lmmunocompromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune systems disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).
•
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration regulations establish limits
!
for contaminants in bottled water which provide the same protection for public health.
! ! !
!
!
!
! !
Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG): The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.
•
Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL):The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology.
•
Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL):The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants.
•
Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG): The level of a drink ing water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants.
•
N/A: Not applicable. ND: not detectable at testing limit. ppb: parts per billion or micrograms per liter. ppm: parts per million or milligrams per liter. pCi/1: picocuries per liter. ppq: parts per quadrillion or picograms per liter.
•
Action Level: The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements that a water system must follow. Regulated Contaminant Fluoride (ppm) Nitrate (ppm) Alpha Emitters (pCi/L) Total Radium 226/228 (pCi/L) 2,3,7,8-TCDD (ppq)

What are Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and why are they harmful? Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), sometimes called PFCs, are a group of chemicals that are resistant to heat, water, and oil. PFAS have been classified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as an emerging contaminant on the national landscape. For decades, they have been used in many industrial applications and consumer products such as carpeting, waterproof clothing, upholstery, food paper wrappings, fire-fighting foams, and metal plating. They are still used today. PFAS have been found at low levels both in the environment and in blood samples of the general U.S. population.
Are there health advisory levels? The EPA has not established enforceable drinking water standards, called maximum contaminant levels, for these chemicals. However, EPA has set a lifetime health advisory (LHA) level in drinking water for two PFAS: perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS). The PFOA and PFOS LHA is the level, or amount, below which no harm is expected from these chemicals. The LHA level is 70 parts per trillion (ppt) for PFOA and 70 ppt for PFOS. If both PFOA and PFOS are present, the LHA is 70 ppt for the combined concentration. There are many other PFAS compounds that currently do not have LHA levels. For information on PFOA, PFOS, and other PFAS, including possible health outcomes, you may visit these websites: https://www.epa.gov/pfas; https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/pfas/; or http://www.michigan.gov/pfasresponse. Who can I call if I have questions about PFAS in my drinking water? If any resident has additional questions regarding this issue, the State of Michigan Environmental Assistance Center can be contacted at 800-662-9278. Representatives may be reached to assist with your questions Monday – Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. How can PFAS affect people’s health? Some scientific studies suggest that certain PFAS may affect different systems in the body. The National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH)/Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) is working with various partners to better understand how exposure to PFAS might affect people’s health. If you are concerned about exposure to PFAS in your drinking water, please contact the MDHHS Toxicology Hotline at 800648-6942 or the CDC/ATSDR: https://www.cdc.gov/cdc-info/ or 800-232-4636. Currently, scientists are still learning about the health effects of exposures to PFAS, including exposure to mixtures. How can I stay updated on the situation? The state has created a website where you can find information about PFAS contamination and efforts to address it in Michigan. The site will be updated as more information becomes available. The website address is http://michigan.gov/pfasresponse

**Information about lead: If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. Otsego Township is responsible for providing high quality drinking water,but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www .epa.gov/safewater/lead.

These chemicals are persistent, which means they do not break down in the environment. They also bioaccumulate, meaning ! the amount builds up over time in the blood and organs. Studies in people who were exposed to PFAS found links between the chemicals and increased cholesterol, changes in the body’s hormones and immune system, decreased fertility, and increased risk of certain cancers.

Action Level
Otsego Township has no lead service lines, and no service lines of unknown material. There are 193 total service lines.
The table below lists all the drinking water contaminants that we detected during the 2018 2019 calendar year. The presence of these contaminants in the water does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. Unless otherwise noted, the data presented in this table is from testing done January 1 -December 31, 2019 2018. The State allows us to monitor for certain contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants are not expected to vary significantly from year to year. All of the data is representative of the water quality, but some are more than one year old.
!
Contaminant Subject to AL
Copper (ppm)
Violations: Otsego Township was late in submitting its Lead and Copper compliance monitoring form for October 10, 2019 resulting in a report violation. It was completed and filed on October 22, 2019 which returned Otsego Township to being in compliance.
Water Quality Data
!
!
Contaminants that may be present in source water include: • Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife. • Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming. • Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture and residential uses. • Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. • Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff, and septic systems.
!
! ! !
Sources of drinking water: The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. Our water comes from wells. As water travels
•
!
!
over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.
