housed several different businesses through the years, including a savings and loan, decorating store and a health food store.

James J. HEWITT AGE 86 – OTSEGO, MI

James J. Hewitt, the ‘Music Man’, who loved music and playing the trumpet which in turn was the catalyst that would affect Jim’s entire life, died peacefully on Wednesday, August 12th in the morning at Bronson Methodist Hospital. Jim was born on November 22, 1928 to James and Vera (McKinney) Hewitt in New Philadelphia, Ohio. He had an older brother Edward. Jim began playing the trumpet in the 8th grade, and as the saying goes ‘the rest is history’. He went on to play in many dance bands as he got older. Jim served in the Air Force during the Korean Conflict, but was assigned to be in the Air Force Band. He graduated from Capital University in Columbus, Ohio with a Bachelor’s Degree in Music in 1952. He went on to obtain a Master’s Degree in Education at Wayne State University in 1959. In 1953 he married the first love of his life, Miriam ‘Mimi’ Bauer and that year he also began his 32 years of band directing. Jim’s first directing position was in Marine City, Michigan. He moved to Flint North Western in 1964 and continued there until he moved to Otsego Public Schools in 1973, where he was employed until his retirement in 1985. The American Legion Band of Holland was his musical home where he played trumpet for 20 years. He was also in the Grand Rapids Symphonic Band for 7 years. Music was Jim’s life and he has touched countless musicians of all ages. He has taught private trumpet lessons for years in the Otsego Schools and the surrounding area, and also in his home. During the 1982-83 school year Jim formed the Otsego-Plainwell Community Band. It was set up as an outreach of the Community Education Department of the Otsego Public Schools. The name was changed in 2005 to the River Cities Concert band. Jim’s good friend, Plainwell band director, Donald Agne had a choir, so they worked out a deal where Jim sang in his choir and in turn Donald played in Jim’s band. Jim’s professional memberships include the Michigan School Band and Orchestra Association, the World Association of Sym-

phonic Bands and Ensembles and the American School Band Director’s Association, where he served as President. In addition to those mentioned, Jim was a Charter Member of the Hope Lutheran Church in Plainwell. He was heavily involved with the Plainwell Music Society, even holding the office of President for a time. Wherever Jim lived he was an active member of the local Lion’s Club. Although a member of American Legion Post #84 in Otsego, he assisted the VFW Post #3030 with bugle details for funerals. Jim volunteered his time to travel all over the area just to play TAPS, not only in Otsego and Plainwell, but Martin, Kalamazoo, Allegan, Gobles, Battle Creek and Fennville. Jim’s wife Mimi passed away after a long and courageous battle with Alzheimer’s Disease. Jim was to meet Patti Khodl in an office setting. She was his doctor’s nurse. Neither were ‘looking’, but due to the urging of Dr. Ana Frunza and nurse, Cathy Fritz they were instrumental in getting Jim and Patti together. On March 25, 2006 they married in the Otsego Methodist Church. In spite of their 20 year age difference they ‘hit it off’ and enjoyed their life together. They created their own little family with dog Bucky (named because Jim is an Ohio State fan) and with cats Chloe, Emily and Holly. Jim is survived by 2 children, Mike of Chicago, IL and Mary Beth (Chad) Premeau of Merrill, WI; a granddaughter, Kayla Premeau of Milwaukee, WI and a grandson, Mischa Premeau of Milwaukee, WI. Cremation has taken place and a Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, September 19, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. at the Performing Arts Auditorium of the Otsego High School. *Please note: If any former concert band alumni wish to come and sit in with the River Cities Concert Band, you are more than welcome to participate. Please contact Dave Hubbard at (269) 692-2155.* Memorial gifts may be made to the River Cities Concert Band, the Otsego Methodist Church or to the charity of your choice. If you wish to remember Jim otherwise, do so with a kind deed or word to someone who needs you.

Faith &Hope

God Sightings on a 5K Run “God sightings” may be defined as times when we especially feel close to God. I especially felt close to God while running in the recent Otsego Ready or Not 5 K Run.

I saw God in our grandson, Jacob Starr, as he ran beside me during the final half mile of the race. He was a channel of God’s grace and a great source of encouragement to me.

Here is what he said: “How do you feel?” (I felt good!) “Step up your pace if you can” “I know you have it in you” “You’ve been working all year for this” “The Lord is with you” “Let the crowd carry you to the finish line.” After the race he said, “Good job!”

Likewise, God is constantly beside us giving us words of encouragement along life’s journey. He has promised to: • Speak to us (Isaiah 55:3) • Strengthen us (Isaiah 40:29) • Comfort us (2 Corinthians l:3,4) • Encourage us (Luke l8:27) • Save us (John 3:16) • Guide us (Psalm 73:24)

What a comfort to cross the finish line and hear our Lord saying to us, “Well done!” (Matthew 25:21)

Have you seen any God sightings in your life lately? Prayer: Lord, speak to me, your servant is listening. Amen

AGILITY PRE-SEASON SPORTS SCREEN

e edge you need to prepare for the fall sports season and to get a head start on the competition.

Background: Without a rock solid foundation built on functional joint stability and mobility, the athlete is more

susceptible to injury. These same building blocks are essential for athletes to perform at their best. This screen aims to address these foundational issues by identifying muscle imbalances as well as inefficient movement patterns.

The focus of this screen is to provide the athlete with: • Education on injury prevention.

• Functional Movement Screening (FMS) - identifies inefficient movement patterns,

muscle imbalances, weakness and flexibility/mobility problems. • Instruction on corrective exercises to address the imbalances / movement problems found during the FMS. • The use of our facility for 30 days on our “Maintenance Program”. • The opportunity to learn functional strength training exercises and circuits that incorporate multi-joint/full body movement patterns (while utilizing the Maintenance Program).

This screen is appropriate for middle school, high school, college and recreational athletes of all sports interests and skill levels. Please contact our office (269-685-9640) to make an appointment for your screen today.

Cost - $40

Includes a program folder containing results of FMS and hand-outs of the corrective exercises. The athlete will also have the opportunity to “re-test” at a future date to evaluate progress and need for additional exercises at no extra cost. • is is a movement screen geared towards healthy athletes and is not formal physical therapy treatment. • A medical waiver/release will need to be signed by the athlete/parent prior to participation.
