Good News!
“HAND-ME-DOWNS”
By Rev. Dan Minor - revdminor1945@gmail.com _____________________________________
“One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts …” Psalm 145:4 Being the fourth born of five children, I know the meaning of “hand-me-downs.” I have two older brothers. I am not complaining. They were nice handme-downs. I wore some used clothing, used toys and bikes among other things. I remember how nice it felt to earn enough of my own money to buy my own bike! I decorated my red bike with streamers, mounted a horn on the handle bars and rode it for the first time on my newspaper route.
The hand-me-downs I enjoyed the most were faith, hope and love. They are virtues that last for a lifetime. When the Psalmist (above) speaks of God’s mighty acts, he is speaking of God’s faithfulness to all generations. He is speaking of values that shape character for generations to come.
Another example is the story of young Timothy in Paul’s second letter to him (New Testament). Apostle Paul writes, “I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelled first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you” (II Timothy 1:5). In other words, a three generation legacy of faith.
The best gift we can give to our children is Jesus Christ. Moral values are best taught by example at an early age. Circumstances may change but true moral values never change. They cannot be changed because they are rooted in the character of Almighty God. “Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday, today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). Here are the lyrics (Tennessee Ernie Ford) of an old song that speaks to hand-me-down religion. The lyrics read in part … “Give me that old-time religion Give me that old-time religion Give me that old-time religion It’s good enough for me….”
Prayer: Dear Lord, let us rejoice in the timeless truths of Your gospel. In Your strong name. Amen.

RUBY
ADOPTABLE Pet of the Week! is an awesome dog!
She is loving, silly, fun, playful, friendly and happy. Ruby is house broken, rides great in a car, and is well mannered, too. Ruby's ideal forever home would be with a fun, loving family that wants to include this sweet dog in their activities. She is very good with kids and also gets along great with other dogs. To make sure any dogs already in the home are a good match with Ruby, a meet and greet will be set up at the shelter. She should have a cat-free home because she finds cats a bit too interesting. Ruby is a little over two years old and weighs approximately 60 pounds. If happy little Ruby sounds like the dog for your family, please fill out an online adoption application at wishbonepetrescue.org. Upon approval of your application, an appointment will be set up at the shelter for you to meet her. Visit: wishbonepetrescue.com The Allegan County Animal Shelter is operated by Wishbone Pet Rescue.

A graveside committal service will be held on Monday, July 20 at 1:00 p.m. at the Prairieville Cemetery in Prairieville Township. Marvin attended school at the North Pine Lake Schoolhouse and graduated from Delton Kellogg High School. He was a child of the depression so he learned to be frugal and developed resourceful traits he kept his entire life. Marvin lived in the North Pine Lake area his entire 92 years. He and his wife Martha built their house on Pine Lake #2 where he lived for 69 of those years. One of his favorite days was the day he retired from the print shop at KVP/Brown Company/Graphic Packaging after 41 years. For many years he & Martha went dancing. They both loved to dance. On most weekends they traveled to wherever their favorite music was playing. Some of their favorite places were The Prairie Schooner, Bayview Gardens, along with The VFW and the Moose Lodge in Portage. Between 19791990 he along with his late son in-law Dan Kniss and the DNR reared & released over 78 thousand Northern Pike into Pine Lake. He was also a dedicated advocate for establishing and maintaining a high lake level limit on Pine Lake. His dream was to see no resident have a flooding problem on Pine Lake. This was something he thought about to the very end of his life. One of his favorite hobbies was gardening. He enjoyed and shared many of his peaches, apples, grapes, strawberries, tomatoes, and sweet corn with family, friends and neighbors. He even went through a beautification phase when he planted large areas with flowers along Island View Drive. With all his skills and willingness to be a do-it- yourselfer both of his daughters were surprised as adults to learn that Dad didn't know how to do Everything! They also know they are blessed to have had the experience of spending Summer vacations in a tent on a pontoon boat for a week at a time on The Saint Mary's River fishing for Northern Pike! Marvin was always willing to lend a hand and will be remembered in his neighborhood for putting along on his tractor. Many people also made a special trip to his garage when the news got out he was a skilled Heliarc welder. He enriched the lives of everyone that knew him and will be greatly missed by all. He is survived by his daughters: Marla (Dan) Boss and Terese LePert; His sister, Joyce Earle; grandsons: Curt (Miriabel) Kniss, Corey (Christine) Kniss; great grandsons: Daniel Kniss and Marc Kniss; special friend Eleanor Snider as well as several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his wife Martha, best friend and dancing partner Joan Detzler; son in-law Dan Kniss; brother in-law Kenneth Earle. Memorial donations can be made to Hospice Care of Southwest Michigan.

Janis PONE, MD
AGE 100 • KALAMAZOO, MI Dr. Janis Pone passed away on Sunday, July 5, 2020. The son of Karlis and Angelika (Irbe) Pone, Janis was born on his family's farm, Lieluzi, in Jaunpils, Latvia on November 22, 1919. His older sisters Lina and Emilija welcomed their new brother. Janis grew up working on the family's farm and attending the local elementary school. He left Jaunpils for the capital city of Riga to attend high school. In 1938, Janis began medical school at the University of Latvia. During this time, he also joined the fraternity, Fraternitus Rusticana. As war broke out across Europe, the medical school accelerated studies so that the new physicians could join the war effort. Following Janis' graduation in December 1943, he joined the Latvian Legion as a troop doctor, and was sent to the front to fight against the advancing Soviet army. When his commander was killed, Janis led his battalion himself, and was awarded an Iron Cross for his bravery. Following the war, Janis served as a refugee camp physician in the British zone of Germany. Wanting to reunite with his family, he later rode a bike to the American zone in southern Germany in hopes of finding them. He came upon his mother hanging laundry at a refugee camp in Wurzburg, Germany, and the two shared a joyful reunion. In Wurzburg, Janis met a beautiful Lithuanian lab technician, Valentina Sileikyte, while working as a camp physician. They were married on Christmas Eve in 1948. Though life at Wurzburg could be tough, the newlyweds still found time to have their own adventures. In 1951, a Methodist church in Tulsa, Oklahoma offered Janis an internship at a local hospital. Once the pair arrived in Oklahoma, the U.S. government asked Janis to serve as a doctor on the Navy base in Pago Pago, American Samoa, located in the South Pacific. Janis and Valentina enjoyed island life and were welcomed by the local Samoan community. In 1952, their son Arnis was born. In 1956, Janis had fulfilled his government contract and the family sought to reunite with relatives in Kalamazoo. Janis completed an intern year at Bronson Hospital, and then the family settled in Martin, Michigan, where Janis opened his private practice. As he was the only local doctor, he often worked long hours and made many house calls, but he still found time to participate in the Latvian Men's Choir and to help build St. John Evangelical Lutheran Latvian Church in Kalamazoo. In 1959, his son Martis was born. Janis' extended family spent lots of time together, particularly at the Austrins' family cabin on Crooked Lake, where Latvian songs could be heard echoing across the water late into the night, led by Janis' bass. In 1961, Janis was appointed Chief of Staff of the newly opened Pipp Hospital in Plainwell. During this time, the American Latvian expat community purchased an old girl scout camp in Three Rivers, Michigan, now known as Garezers Latvian Center. Janis dedicated many hours to establishing the camp infirmary and served as camp doctor for many years. In 1972, Janis and four other physicians opened the Community Medical Clinic in Plainwell to provide more medical care for the growing local community. He worked at the Clinic until his retirement in 1990. Patients still remember his patience, kindness, and very thick Latvian accent. Newly retired, Janis stayed busy, enjoying summers at Garezers, winter trips to Florida, singing in the Piltenes Prageri and Latvian Men's Choir, serving as a Kalamazoo Latvian Lutheran Church and Latvian Center Board member, and actively participating in Fraternity Rusticana festivities. One of his most meaningful life experiences came in 1990, when he was able to return to a free Latvia and participate in the song and dance festival. He passed this deep love of his homeland to his grandchildren. Janis also enjoyed a close friendship with the first free post-occupation Latvian president, Guntis Ulmanis. The Ulmanis family often visited the Pones in Kalamazoo. After almost 51 years of marriage, Valentina passed away on December 12, 1999. Janis later married Daila Aploks in the fall of 2001. Together, they traveled and were active members of the local Latvian community until Daila's passing in March of 2014. Janis remained a dedicated community and church patron and was always present to support his grandchildren in their endeavors. He happily spent his final years with longtime family friend, Aira Lielzuiks who survives. Besides his parents and wives, Valentina and Daila, Janis is preceded in death by his sisters, Emilija and Lina. He is also survived by his two sons, Arnis (Diana) Pone and Martis (Cassandra) Pone, both of Mattawan, MI; as well as four grandchildren, Laura, Karina, Nikolajs and Stefans. He will also be missed by his nieces, nephews, grand-nieces and nephews and their children. A special thanks is given to Hospice Care of Southwest Michigan, Dr. Lawlor and Dr. Wunderly for their exceptional care. Janis' ashes will be interred next to his beloved Valentina at Riverside Cemetery where a private family committal service will be held. Janis is now with God and reunited with Valentina. As he always reminded us, "bus labi" (all will be well). Memorial contributions may be made to Kalamazoo Latvian Evangelical Lutheran United Church.
