Marjorie “Hilda” Hawley, a Greenville resident, celebrated her 102nd birthday this year. She was born in the Greenville area along with her sister, Louise, who is 100 years old, and her brother, Clair, who is 91 years old.

Local woman reflects on 102 years of life

W

hen Marjorie “Hilda” Hawley was born, horses and buggies were the norms for transportation.

Women did not have the right to vote. John Green had settled in the area roughly 70 years prior and the city of Greenville was thriving with sawmills, churches, merchants and families.

Hilda was born in 1914 just north of Greenville. When she was about 3 years old, her family purchased a farm on the edge of town, which also recently celebrated its centennial birthday. She is one of three siblings, all of whom are still living. Her sister, Louise Moore, is 100 years old and nearing her 101 while their brother, Clair Morey, is 91 years old.

“We have a lot of longevity in our family,” Hilda said with a chuckle.

In 1933, Hilda graduated high school and went to cosmetology school in Grand Rapids where she obtained her cosmetology license. She worked in shops and eventually had her own shop, although not in Greenville.

Hilda stayed in Grand Rapids for a time before moving to Kalamazoo to live with her newly married cousin and her husband. Kalamazoo is where Hilda called home for just fewer than 20 years and it’s where she had her own beauty shop.

Hilda married in 1948 to Thaddeus

Hawley and together they stayed in Kalamazoo for six years before moving to Pensacola, Fla. “It was wonderful,” she said. “We had a place there for many years.”

Somewhere along the line, the Hawleys got a timeshare near Pigeon Forge, Tenn., and decided to move there because they liked spending time there so well.

“We lived there for many years, not too far from Dollywood. I was about five miles from where Dolly (Parton) lived,” she said. “Back then they had four theaters and top singers would have their own theater. In the spring, when they would start having their nightly shows, the first night … they would have a free concert so everybody got in on that. That was fun.”

It was during that time in Tennessee when Thaddeus passed away. He died in 1996, after 48 years of marriage. Hilda stayed in Tennessee until around 1999 when she decided to move back to Greenville where her siblings were at the time.

Hilda’s sister Louise splits her time between a mobile home in Florida and a house in Greenville, which she bought with her first husband, who passed away. She’s owned the house for many years and said that lots of things have See Longevity, Page 2

n Village hires Gallagher as full-time manager

By Meghan Nelson

Daily News staff writer

LAKEVIEW — When Stanton decided to end a shared manager arrangement with Lakeview last week, Lakeview officials knew they would have to consider new options.

The Lakeview Village Council held a special meeting Monday night to offer Shay Gallagher, currently the deputy supervisor of Algoma Township, a full-time job as Lakeview’s village manager.

On Nov. 14, the Lakeview Village Council had voted for Gallagher as their choice between him and another finalist, Cedar Springs mayor Charles Watson.

“Because Stanton didn’t want to share a manager —

that was the feeling they left us — we needed a qualified candidate to fill the position of village manager,” Lakeview Village President Ed Winter said. “I think the best thing for us right now is to go at it alone and hire Shay as our full-time village manager.”

The Village Council voted unanimously to give Winter the ability to negotiate with Gallagher for the position of village manager. Gallagher’s start date in Lakeview will be Dec. 1.

“It’s definitely an exciting opportunity to carry on the momentum on a lot of the great projects James (Freed) and Jake (Eckholm) worked on,” said Gallagher, who attended Monday’s meeting.

Gallagher hopes to continue working on the proposed annexation of a portion of Cato Township along M-46 between Youngman See Lakeview, Page 2

Buck up: Howard City’s buck pole draws crowd

HOWARD CITY — Opening day of hunting season is practically a holiday in Montcalm County, so it’s no surprise Howard City’s inaugural buck pole event was a smashing success.

The buck pole went up in the vacant lot at the corner of Ensley Street and Shaw Street (where the village’s farmers market is held) in the early morning hours of

Nov. 15, sponsored by Mattson’s Hardware and Mac’s Rustic Sports. The Howard City Fire Department helped with lighting for the event.

BELDING — Ellis Elementary School Principal Tiffany Jackson got what she called “a little brag time” at Monday evening’s Belding Area Schools Board of Education meeting.

Jackson detailed points of pride for the elementary school, including focuses on curriculum, collaboration and culture in the building.

According to Jackson, there are great things happening in terms of Courtesy photo curriculum. Students throughout the building are focusing on mathematFrom left, Peyton Moffit, 5, Emma Johnson, 5, Jayde Hoisington, 5, ics and English and language arts.

Jackson said for first- and secondgrade students there are multi-tiered systems of support in place to give individualized attention to those who need it.

The focus on English and language arts at Ellis and throughout the Belding school district in general means a heavy emphasis on early literacy. To boost early literacy rates for students, the school acquired RazKids, a resource which provides a library of differentiated books at 29 different levels of difficulty for students to practice reading.

The resources are in the form of ebooks for students to get easy access via their classroom iPads.

Right Door breaks ground on Belding autism center addition

By Emilee Nielsen

Daily News staff writer

BELDING — A planned addition to the Ionia County Right Door for Hope, Recovery and Wellness has broken ground.

Monday afternoon found members of the Right Door Board of Directors, representatives from Triangle Associates and James Turner, the rural development director of the United States Department of Agriculture, discussing the addition and breaking ground on the project at 7441 Storey Road in Belding.

Board Chairwoman Melissa McKinstry opened the ceremony by telling the origin story of the addition, which began when the board realized the level of demand the community has for autism support services.

“It wasn’t too many years ago when nobody thought there was any need for an (applied behavioral analysis) center.

No one ever heard of such a thing and no one thought there were very many people with autism floating around,” she said.

McKinstry said it wasn’t until board member and Michigan House 87th District representative-elect Julie Calley facilitated a conversation between board members about the potential for the Right Door to get involved with autism support.

Applied behavioral analysis (ABA) services for children and young adults up to 21 years old originally offered at the center in Ionia had four rooms for autistic supports. According to McKinstry, it wasn’t long before the demand for services expanded past the space available. Once the addition is completed, there will be six treatment rooms as well as a play area for children to get out some energy and develop

Ellis Continued From Page 1 A further advancement in the field of literacy for Ellis students is the expanding access to Accelerated Reader (AR).

According to Jackson, by next January all first- and second-grade students will have access to AR, software designed to track a student’s reading progress.

In order to help students achieve their reading goals, Ellis Elementary has two interventionists on staff, one fulltime and one part-time, who work toward improving early literacy.

Between the two of them, each interventionist sees about 45 students a day.

“Our interventionists …(are working) to really reteach the skills that (students) learning in the classroom, especially focused around guided reading groups,” she said.

Guided reading groups give teachers the opportunity to gauge where students are in their literacy level, integrating reading processes and look for trends throughout the classroom.

Jackson told the board and audience members about a recent science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) project conducted in kindergarten classrooms at Ellis. The project called for students to come up with a way to keep Humpty Dumpty upright on a wall of sugar cubes.

“They had a plan, they had to work as a group, it was a team project,” she said.

“They had a blast. Their conversations were very engaging.”

The instructional consultation team, a group of staff members, social workers and others who come together to service 28 students who are in the bottom 30 percent academically.

Some students in the group are there to build on math skills, some on English skills and others because of behavioral issues. Jackson referred to this as an alignment of resources along with visits from an employee from the Ionia County Department of Human Services who monitors students with active

“We had no idea how many people there were. When we found out we could fill a whole building full of them, we decided we should build a building,” she said. “Without someone to provide the services for these people, the families really miss out … on a chance to communicate with their loved one.”

Part of the skills people learn at the ABA center is how to interact in family life and community life.

Calley, whose daughter is autistic, talked about the improvements her daughter has made since she started receiving support services. “(Before ABA, she) was conversational but only with herself. She was not

using language as a tool to communicate with us. She was very much within her own world,” Calley said.

Calley talked about the great accomplishment it will be to have an ABA center in rural Ionia County. Typically centers like this are located in urban areas, like Grand Rapids, Lansing and Detroit.

“What a cutting edge, exciting opportunity for us to have something like this right here in Ionia County,” she said.

Michigan House to pay $515K in sex scandal suit

By The Associated Press

LANSING — The Michigan House of Representatives will pay $515,000 in a settlement with two former legislative aides who alleged they were wrongfully fired and publicly humiliated after reporting two lawmakers’ extramarital affair and misconduct.

An agreement released Tuesday says Keith Allard and Benjamin Graham will be paid about $170,000 each. Their lawyer’s firm will receive $175,000.

The men filed a federal lawsuit nearly a year ago, saying they alerted Republican House Speaker Kevin Cotter’s aides to “matters of public concern” including their married bosses’ affair, absence at work during business hours and demands that staffers send political emails during hours of state employment. They alleged that Cotter’s office covered it up and let them be dismissed in Braylyn Kyes, 6, Cameron Witzel-Chinevere, 5, and Landen Kyes, 5, build car July 2015 at the behest of exSee Right Door, Page 11A

At Monday’s Belding Area Schools Board of Education meeting: Community members, Joana Johnson, Carmin Barker and Melanie Fish delivered their recommendation to the board about how to proceed with the Redskins mascot issue based on October’s community meetings related to the issue.

Johnson, Barker and Fish recommended that the district does away with the Redskins mascot but keep the black and orange school colors and the Old English B. They also recommended that the district chooses a different mascot unrelated to Native Americans.

“Change is hard but is made easier with a community of support and different perspectives,” Fish said.

Gamrat, of Plainwell, later was expelled from office while Courser, of Lapeer, resigned rather than be kicked out.

Under the settlement, the current claims were dismissed, and the plaintiffs cannot file future suits against the House or its current and past members in their official capacity.

The parties agreed that the settlement should not be construed as an admission of liability. The House will cover the ex-aides’ legal defense in a lawsuit that Courser and Gamrat brought against the House and others.

In a joint statement, Cotter, Allard and Graham said the settlement “avoids further expensive litigation and is in the best interest of everyone, including the House as an institution and the Michigan taxpayers.”

IN OTHER MATTERS …

Ostrander said he met with 60 students from different grade levels last week to hear what they have to say about the mascot issue.

According to him, roughly 60 percent of the students in that group wanted to see the mascot changed but more than 90 percent of the students in the group acknowledged the racist connotations of the word and more than 80 percent said the mascot shouldn’t be used.

Ostrander also said high school students and even middle school students should have a say in what the new mascot will be as it is part of their identity in the school district.

The board has yet to deliver its recommendation regarding the Redskins mascot issue and is slated to do so at the regular December meeting.

“During the first few months, I plan on getting to know the people in the community at after-hours events and by visiting the restaurants and small business to see what are their big assets as well as their weaknesses,” Gallagher said.

He also wants to meet with the department heads in Lakeview to see what they’re working on and might need help on.

Gallagher has a short-term goal to “hit the ground running” and continue the momentum his predecessors left.

“In the long term, I want to make Lakeview the best and most vibrant community it can be and keep in on the trajectory of becoming a great community to live and be in,” he said.

Winter anticipates having Gallagher as full-time manager will cost the village $18,000 a year more than the originally shared agreement with Stanton, which Winter said is feasible with Lakeview’s budget.

In Brief From staff and wire reports

Stanton considers removing trees STANTON — Two tree removal projects were added to the Stanton City Commission agenda at Tuesday night’s meeting by Commissioner Ken Burris, who was acting as mayor protem in Mayor Larry Petersen’s absence.

Burris asked the commission to discuss the project and for Department of Public Works Director Jamie Blum’s input on both projects.

Blum said he could remove the trees on Main Street with a backhoe, but the removal of the trees on Camburn Street would require a contractor to remove them from the concrete encasings.

Commissioners voted to table both tree removals until the Dec. 13 meeting, so they could look into the details and get more information about both projects.

Comments extended for water proposal LANSING — Michigan officials Tuesday gave the public an additional 90 days to comment on a bottled water company’s request for a 167 percent increase in the volume of water it pumps from a groundwater well.

The Department of Environmental Quality said it also will convene a public hearing on Nestle Waters North America’s plan before the comment period expires March 3, 2017. The company last month announced a $36 million expansion of its Ice Mountain bottling operation near Stanwood in Mecosta County.

The plan calls for boosting withdrawals from the well in neighboring Osceola County from 150 gallons per minute to 400 gallons per minute. Nestle said the expansion would create 20 additional jobs at the plant, which employs more than 250 people.

The DEQ has recommended approval of the increased pumping but hasn’t made a final decision.

Nestle’s proposal has revived a dispute with a nonprofit group that fought the company in court over its original plan for the bottling operation, which also sought a 400-gallon-per-minute withdrawal rate. Michigan Citizens for Water Conservation sued in 2001, contending the pumping would harm lakes, rivers and streams in the area.

Daily News senior staff writer

GREENVILLE — Country music artist John Berry is returning to the area to perform once again, and keeping with his giving spirit, is working in coordination to benefit a local organization.

As part of his “O’ Holy Night: Celebrating 20 Years of Christmas with John Berry Tour,” Berry will make 15 stops throughout the country, including Greenville on Dec. 3.

The concert will aim to raise funds to benefit Have Mercy, the local organization focused on providing temporary shelter and food assistance to homeless people in Montcalm and Ionia counties, while working with clients to rebuild their lives.

“I can’t wait to get back and see my friends in West Michigan,” Berry said. “We always feel so welcome and have so much fun. That we can help a great organization like Have Mercy is icing on the cake.”

Berry has been returning to Greenville to perform since first playing in 2008.

Prior to benefiting Have Mercy, Berry’s performances aided the Montcalm County 4-H Fair.

The concert, sponsored by Meijer, will be held at the Greenville High School Performing Arts Center at 7 p.m. Tickets are $25 at www.johnberry.com.tour or available for purchase at the UPS store in Greenville, located at 703 S.

Country music artist John Berry will be performing at 7 p.m. Dec. 3 at the Greenville High School Performing Arts Center. Proceeds from the concert will go to benefit Have Mercy.

Greenville West Dr. Prior to the performance, Berry will be at Anderson and Girls Orchards at 2985 N. Sheridan Road, north of Stanton, at 1:30 p.m. for a meet and greet.

According to Have Mercy Executive Director Kim Cain, the 4-H organization, after experiencing several successful seasons at the new fairgrounds location in Montcalm Township, no longer needed funding for new buildings and aimed to pass the opportunity of the benefit concert on to another organization.

“It’s a big undertaking, and a big opportunity to shed light on homelessness, Have Mercy, and the work that needs to be done here,” Cain said. “We are so happy to have this opportunity and grateful to 4-H, not only for considering Have Mercy to be a worthy cause, but

also for their support in this first transition year.”

Actively recording since 1979, Berry has one platinum album and two gold albums. He had 19 songs on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, including the number one single “Your Love Amazes Me” from 1994, and six more hits make the top five.

The hour-and-a-half show will be filled with traditional Christmas songs, including an a cappella version of “O Holy Night,” some of his biggest hits, and a few of his childhood stories sprinkled in.

With this being Berry’s 20th holiday concert tour, he said he expects to “celebrate and involve the fans like never before” during the anniversary celebration.

State police warn that the Thanksgiving holiday period is one of the deadliest times on Michigan roadways. They say that last year there were 11 fatalities, including five pedestrians, during the Thanksgiving holiday.

Authorities say Michigan troopers will start enforcement efforts starting today. That will include looking for impaired driving, seat belt use, careless driving and speeding. Federal traffic safety money is used to pay for the extra patrols.

State police also plan a public awareness safety campaign. The agency is calling it Operation C.A.R.E. or Combined Accident Reduction Effort. It will run through Sunday.

Fast Break From staff and wire reports

Ex-USA gymnastics doctor arraigned MASON, Mich. — A former USA Gymnastics doctor pleaded not guilty Tuesday to three counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct in his home with a girl under 13, charges that Michigan’s attorney general said are the “tip of the iceberg” as authorities investigate roughly 50 complaints.

Larry Nassar, who was arrested Monday while running an errand at a Lansingarea tire store, was arraigned by video from jail. He was released after 10 percent of a $1 million bond was paid, more than two months after two gymnasts — including a member of the 2000 U.S. women’s Olympic team — accused him of sexual abuse during medical treatments.

Also on Tuesday, a Detroit attorney said he filed a civil lawsuit against Nassar on behalf of a Los Angeles woman who says she was sexually abused about 20 years ago during treatments when she was a 14-year-old gymnast.

It’s at least the third civil suit filed against Nassar.

Bruce Arena returns as USMNT coach NEW YORK — Bruce Arena was a decade removed from the U.S. national team when he received a telephone call from U.S. Soccer Federation Secretary General Dan Flynn on Sunday asking him to meet with USSF President Sunil Gulati the following day.

By midday Tuesday, the winningest coach in the team’s history regained the job he had not wanted to give up.

“I never expected to be back in this role the way it came about over the last 48 hours,” Arena explained. “I hate to say this now to Sunil: I would’ve done this for free.”

A day after Jurgen Klinsmann was fired following two losses that began the final round of World Cup qualifying, Arena agreed to a contract running through the 2018 tournament in Russia.

NCAA: Notre Dame must vacate wins SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Brian Kelly’s worst season at Notre Dame took an embarrassing turn Tuesday as the NCAA announced that academic misconduct orchestrated by a student athletic trainer will cost the storied program all 21 victories from the 2012-13 seasons, including the 12-0 run that vaulted the Fighting Irish into the national championship game against Alabama.

It marked just the fourth time the NCAA has cited Notre Dame for a major rules violation. The vacated games include Notre Dame’s 12 victories in 2012.

Stout, Smith named AP all-state

By Chip Burch

Daily News sports writer

A pair of local football players were named to The Associated Press all-state teams in Divisions 7 and 8.

Carson City-Crystal sophomore quarterback Drew Stout and Vestaburg senior defensive back Jeren Smith were named honorable mention by a panel of 10 Michigan AP sports editors.

“It’s a great honor to be on the all-state, but I feel like anyone on the team did just as good a job as me,” Stout said.

“On the team we all did great and it was a great thing.”

Stout was 150-for-273 for 1,808 yards passing and 1,057 yards rushing. He threw for 13 touchdowns and ran for another 17, including five throwing scores in the win over Potterville on Oct. 21.

Stout said being able to throw the ball instead of just running it was a key to his success.

“I think it was more we had a passing game so we had a couple more options for how I can use the ball,” he said. “I think it was better to have a second option other than the run game.”

This was Stout’s first year as a passer.

“As a passer for my first year I did really well,” he said. “I know in the next few years I’ll be great. My brother spends time in the yard on the weekends throwing the ball around with me and it only gets better with how I’ve been.”

CC-C coach Ben Brock was happy for Stout.

“We’re very excited for Drew,” he said. “All the hard work he’s put in. Really taking on the leadership role in our program becoming the man.

The first game of not being able to connect and not being able to do anything then becoming an all-state performer. The best part is he’s humble. One of the first things he asked was if anyone else made the team. That’s Drew.”

Brock noted Stout is a leader off the field also.

“We always talk to the players about being better people and being good in school,” he said.

“I checked his grades and he’s got straight A’s. He’s become a leader in our program.”

The honor is huge for the program, according to Brock.

“We take pride in what we’ve been able to do in our program,” he said. “He comes in a long line of all-state quarterbacks. To not having thrown a pass in his varsity career to being the leader on the team. It’s

really about being humble and one of the characteristics was other people getting excited about him and he was excited about him receiving the honor.”

Smith played cornerback for the Wolverines.

“He was probably one of the best players on my team and he was a lockdown corner,” Vestaburg coach Dan Ryckman said. “We put him on the other team’s best receivers all season.

He had eight interceptions all year but he could have had another five. He probably had 12-plus breakups throughout

the year. He was in man coverage most of the year.”

Ryckman said Smith has a real grasp on the game.

“He has high football knowledge, he knows play football situations and was in proper position,” he said. “He had a knack for knowing where receivers were. He uses his hands real well.”

The Daily News could not reach Smith for comment Tuesday. cburch@staffordgroup.com (616) 548-8290

SHERIDAN — Carol Klein picked an interesting location to get her first career 300 game.

Klein, 52, became the first woman to ever throw a perfect game at Sheridan Lanes when she did it during her Monday Night Women’s League.

Klein wasn’t paying too close attention to her game when she started the perfecto.

“Honestly we were bowling really slow and I didn’t know I had six in a row until one of my teammates pointed it out,” Klein said.

From then on, Klein didn’t want to be around anyone.

“I just kept to myself,” she said. “Once you get to nine in a row you have potential and that’s when you get nervous.”

And nervous she was. Eventually, she got the first two strikes of the 10th frame to set up a career game.

“I’ve had a 288,” she said of her previous high game.

When she rolled the 12th ball of the game, she had a good shot going.

“It was a solid pocket shot and I was afraid it was a solid pocket 10,” she said.

But when all 10 pins went down, Klein got congratulations from everyone in the building.

“I kind of think I was in shock,” she said.

“The first ball of the next game was a solid 10-pin. I was afraid the perfect game was a solid 10 and the next ball I threw it.”

Klein is a 176-average bowler. She was informed by Sheridan Lanes owner Dan Phenix that she was the first woman to get a 300 in the history of the lanes.

“I thought he was lying to me,” she said. “I actually told Dan to tell the truth. There’s actually good bowlers here.”

Phenix said what Klein did was a real accomplishment.

“I bought it (Sheridan Lanes) in 1990 and no one had thrown a 300 ever, man or woman,” Phenix said, adding that Sheridan

Daily News/Chip Burch

Carol Klein of Greenville became the first woman to throw a perfect bowling game at Sheridan Lanes in the house’s history when she did it Monday night.

Lanes first opened in 1947.

The previous high score for a woman at Sheridan Lanes was 279 by Lois Fournier, although Phenix wasn’t sure when Fournier threw that game.

“I’ve been bowling since I was 9 years old.

You always dream you get it,” Klein said. “You would have though it would happen in your 30s.”

Klein said the feat still hasn’t sank in yet.

“I’m still not sure it’s real,” she said. “It’s something that you, as an avid bowler, you dream of.” cburch@staffordgroup.com (616) 548-8290

Detroit Pistons announce plans to move downtown

By Noah Trister AP sports writer

DETROIT — The Detroit Pistons are ready to move downtown — into what is already being billed as one of the most unique sports neighborhoods in the nation.

The Pistons formally announced plans Tuesday to move into Little Caesars Arena next season and share that new venue with the Detroit Red Wings, a relocation that would put all four of the city’s major sports teams within a few blocks of each other. The arena is being built in the same part of downtown where the Tigers and Lions host their games at Comerica Park and Ford Field, respectively.

Tuesday’s news conference was held in a room at Cass Tech High School that had a view of all three of those nearby sports venues.

“This is the only city now with all four teams in the downtown area,” Mayor Mike Duggan said. “You can walk within 10 minutes to all of them. You can go around the country, and there are cities where all four teams are somewhere in the border of their city. In Denver, they’ve got basketball and hockey and baseball downtown, and the Broncos play a mile outside.”

Duggan said after moving downtown next season, the Pistons will have their headquarters and a practice facility in the city by 2018.

Duggan called the agreement for the Pistons to move “preliminary” and said final agreements would likely be approved early next year by Detroit’s Downtown Development Authority, the Michigan Strategic Fund and the Detroit

City Council. The agreement calls for a contribution of $34.5 million from the DDA to cover modifications to the new arena to accommodate an NBA team.

Duggan said by law, those funds can only be used for infrastructure and economic development downtown.

“These funds have to be spent on economic development purposes in this region, and we couldn’t think of anything more important than bringing the Pistons back home,” he said.

Michael LaFaive of the Michigan-based Mackinac Center for Public Policy was critical of the plan, saying taxpayers shouldn’t be put in a position to back business ventures of private entrepreneurs.

“Let entrepreneurs risk their own resources and flourish or flounder on their own accord,” he said in an email.

Duggan and Pistons owner Tom Gores were at the news conference, along with NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and Ilitch Holdings President and CEO Christopher Ilitch. The Red Wings are owned by Mike and Marian Ilitch, and Gores said the opportunity to partner with them played a big role in the decision to move.

“I thought this would be a great partnership, and I would tell you, if I didn’t feel it, then we have a home, and we would’ve stayed there,” Gores said. “But there’s a bigger picture here.”

The Red Wings are in their final season at Joe Louis Arena before the NHL team moves to Little Caesars Arena. The Pistons have played at The Palace of Auburn Hills since 1988 and were at the Pontiac Silverdome for a decade before that.

Teacher leaves of absence a hot topic at CM board meeting

By Lori Hansen

Daily News correspondent

STANTON — The Central Montcalm Public School Board of Education approved five of six items on its consent agenda and went into executive session for a student discipline hearing at Monday’s regular meeting.

The board considered requests for a leave of absence for Krista Johnson, a request for unpaid leave from Brandy Conway, reappointment of Kris Thwaites and Michelle Willmore as representatives to the White Pine District Library, an extension of an unpaid leave of absence by Casey Ryan and approved employing Kristene Staten as a new high school counselor.

The board, however, voted 6-0 — with Vice President Todd Giles absent — to deny a request from Kathy Keiffer for unpaid leave for

two days, March 23-24, 2017.

“We’ve had discussions before about unpaid leave requests, and trying to keep the teachers in the classrooms,” Secretary Bill Collins said. “As much as we try to honor requests for leaves for family situations such as weddings, births and deaths, an annual event such as a family reunion is not a lifechanging event. The timing of it, just prior to spring break, is also a factor.”

President Bill Simpson agreed that another consideration is it is not always possible to bring in substitute teachers, and that makes a burden on other teachers.

The same request — unpaid leave prior to spring break — has come several years in a row, added Treasurer Mark Grossbauer, and is not a medical issue.

Su p e r i n t e n d e n t A my Meinhardt explained how, in 180

days, teachers are given 10 sick days, and up to three personal days and some can be banked and carried over.

“But if a teacher piggybacks personal days with unpaid days, and ends up with nine days off, that is nine days he or she is out of the classroom,” Simpson said.

The difficulty of finding substitute teachers was also discussed, with Meinhardt saying often other teachers are asked to give up their planning time to cover another classroom, or the physical education teacher may be plugged into a classroom, leading to the individual teachers leading physical education for their classrooms.

“A lack of subs is not just a Central Montcalm issue, it is an issue across the state,” she said.

Trustee Brandy Ryan pointed out the district is currently $6,400 over budget for substitutes, with

Meinhardt explaining a number of employees are on maternity leave.

“That is something we can’t plan for when we are doing our budget,” she said.

“Being in a classroom, I know how much teachers look forward to spring break and Christmas break,” Treasurer Jim Rogers said.

“But this is getting a two-week vacation. I’m all for keeping the teachers in the classroom, but I realize that there are unusual events that come up that require a sub. This is controversial every year.”

Collins made the motion, with Rogers seconding it, that the board disapproves the request, which was then passed in the 6-0 vote.

The board also went into a 30-minute closed session to conduct a student discipline hearing.

The student, a sixth-grade

male, was suspended for 40 days due to an illegal substance, with educational support and counseling added.

The board was also briefed on the progress made on the final draft of the design phase for the upcoming construction/renovation.

“It has been a nice little challenge meeting code issues of the traffic study,” said Steve Hoekzema of Tower Pinkster in Grand Rapids. “There are lots of parts and pieces to put in place, things like materials and finishings, carpet and bricks.”

The plan will be brought back to the board at the Dec. 19 meeting for final approval, Hoekzema said.

Montcalm Community College students Mia Gonzalez, left, and Amanda Elliot, both of Greenville, display pieces of their own artwork that will be featured in the Winter Artists’ Market in the North Building on the college’s Sidney campus now through Dec. 1 and Dec. 5 through 8.

MCC winter art exhibit underway Special to The Daily News

SIDNEY — Amanda Elliott of Greenville believes art is an act of therapy.

“Those who use art as therapy tend to express their true emotions in it,” said the 19-year-old Montcalm Community College student. “Whenever I have mixed emotions about a situation, I draw what is on my mind and it helps me express myself in a way that I otherwise wouldn’t be able to.”

Elliott is one of several MCC students whose artwork will be featured during the college’s annual Winter Artists’ Market and Exhibit which started Monday and continues Nov. 28 through Dec. 1 and Dec. 5 through 8.

The exhibit features artwork created by MCC Art Club mem-

bers, MCC students and local artists, for viewing and for sale.

Hours are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. each day of the exhibit in the Art Gallery in the Instruction North Building on the college’s Sidney campus. Admission is free.

Mia Gonzalez of Greenville is in her first semester at MCC. She uses art to express herself and prepare for her future career.

“Throughout high school, I enjoyed drawing and sculpting, and I still do to this day,” she said. “Art is a means of time travel. Looking at past works, I can feel the emotions of my angsty teen self. Gazing upon any work of art, I imagine what feelings provoked the artist to create their masterpiece.”

Gonzalez, 23, is pursuing an Associate of Science and the Arts degree and plans to graduate in spring 2018. She is currently

enrolled in MCC’s Drawing I class and plans to take Drawing II in the spring. She is also a member of the college’s Art Club and DART (digital arts) League.

“I’m focusing on art to hone my skills in preparation for my dream job as a tattoo artist,” she said. “I have already learned many techniques, including chiaroscuro, stippling and the use of texture.”

Elliot is also taking Drawing I this semester and plans to graduate from MCC in 2018 with an Associate of Business Management degree.

“I took this class simply because I love art, but I could also use some improvement,” she said. “Before this class, I was not very good at realistic drawing and blending my shading values.

Now, I can finally say that I can draw more realistically and blend

my shading values correctly.”

MCC Visual Arts Coordinator Carolyn Johnson said both students are gifted artists.

“Mia and Amanda both have talked about their improvement in their drawing skills during the semester, and it’s obvious to see that learning about the subtle variety in shading and texture can add immensely to the quality of the drawing. They are very different individuals, but I see that they have had some similar breakthroughs in this class,” Johnson said.

“It’s very rewarding to see students who have loved doing art as a pastime continue to love it and get excited with learning new things in the context of a college class,” she added.

Buck Pole Continued From Page 1A meeting.

“I heard a lot of positive things,” said Village Manager-President Randy Heckman. “We appreciate your effort in doing it.”

The buck pole featured three size divisions for youths and adults: Legal size bucks to 6-pointers, 7- to 9-pointers and 10-pointers and above.

Mattson’s employee Kirk Thielke said two impressive 10-point bucks were featured, although he noted the goal of the buck pole was to encourage community involvement more than a competition.

“It encouraged people to come together in the community and to bring them into town,” Thielke said. “We had lights shining right on the pole, we had a bonfire to gather around. We had a lot of people stop and ask about it. It was really a very exciting community event. The schools were closed and it was a chance for friends and families to get together and tell stories and share that time together.

“If you didn’t get one, you told the story about how it got away,” he added with a laugh.

Also during Monday night’s meeting, the Howard City Village Council: • Learned Independent Bank employees painted the concession stand at the village ballfields as a community act of service.

• Discussed the upcoming closure of Montcalm County’s recycling site in the Leppink’s Food Center parking lot in Howard City. Councilwoman Janice Williams wondered if Green Valley Recycling & Disposal Service Inc. in Grand Rapids, which is Howard City’s trash disposal provider, offered curbside recycling.

Village Manager-President Randy Heckman said he would look into it.

Continued From Page 1A changed over the years since they bought the place.

“We remodeled it five or six times. I think I’ve probably got one of the oldest homes in Greenville,” Louise said.

Many things have changed in Greenville since Hilda and Louise were girls, but one of the biggest changes they both talked about was the number of businesses that used to be on Lafayette Street and have since closed their doors.

“Now there’s no grocery stores or anything. They started building out on 57 and that’s when all those stores went out of downtown Greenville,” Louise said.

Louise and Hilda remain close and they talk on the phone every night to keep in touch and to make sure everything is going well. Hilda is more a homebody while Louise likes to get out and about. She spends a lot of time at the senior centers in Florida and in Greenville depending on the time of year.

Sean Conroe, a great-nephew of Hilda and Louise, shared about an annual dinner the family puts on before Louise goes to Florida each year. He said it was really special to see Hilda with his nephew, who’s 2 years old.

“There’s 100 years difference between them,” he noted.

Sean has talked to Louise about the differences between daily life when she was growing up and now. Mainly, he said, people live at a faster pace than they used to and there’s less focus on being able to build and craft things for yourself. “(They) lived through the Great Depression, too, so (Louise) still has some habits from that she still does today,” he said. “(She focuses on) frugality. She would take (my two brothers and me) to Dairy Queen and have us all share something which we thought was crazy because we always got our own treats. She would find toys and clean them up for us to play with instead of buying them.”

He said both Louise and Hilda make the best corn fritters.

“I’ve never seen anyone else make or have eaten them before,” he said.

Neither Hilda nor Louise has any children but they are quite close with their brother’s children and grandchildren. Hilda said one of her nephews lives in Grand Rapids and visits her every two weeks so they can go out to breakfast.

“We have a close family. Small, but close,” she said. enielsen@staffordgroup.com (616) 548-8289

Demanding boss expects work mid-crisis

D

ear Amy: I love my job. My boss, “Hal,” is extremely generous. Hal can be demanding and exacting, but most of the successful people I have worked for were like that, and I’m used to it.

Last week my mother was admitted to the hospital with a broken bone. I called Hal right away to let him know I was going to go straight to the hospital. Hal asked me to go to work before going to the hospital to type up some paperwork needed for an appointment that day. I was pretty shocked that he would ask this, but I did it.

That afternoon, one of my co-workers sent me a text to let me know that some paperwork needed to be done early the next day. The co-worker offered (twice) to do the paperwork, but Hal insisted that I had to do it.

My mother’s surgery was scheduled for 10 a.m., and the office knew this. I raced in to type up the paperwork, and by the time I was done, the surgery was over. I was there when she was brought to recovery, but I really wanted to be with my father during that time.

It was obvious that I was extremely upset that Hal required me to come in, but he still didn’t get it. A co-worker explained to him why I was so upset. He then delivered a semi-apology, stating that he was sorry that I misunderstood him, and that they could have figured things out in my absence.

So now I’m extremely angry. There are many positive aspects to the job, but this is really bothering me. How do I get over it?

— Disenchanted Employee Dear Disenchanted: You work for someone who is not particularly clued-in to the nuances of human cues. If you want a different outcome, you should try to handle things differently.

Some of your communication regarding this emergency was second-hand, relayed back and forth through co-workers.

In the future, if you have an emergency, you should communicate this to him by saying, “I have a medical emergency in the family. I’ll need to take a personal day to deal with it, and likely a half-day tomorrow.”

If he asks you to come in to the office instead, you can try to offer him a clear-cut path toward him achieving his goal: “Jerry has all the paperwork you need and I’ll ask him to submit it to you,” or a simple, “I’m sorry. I won’t be able to come in this morning.”

As it is, you went in to the office, competently performed the task, and so he was left with the understanding that you were able to juggle both the work deadlines and your family emergency — and, guess what, he was right.

You get over this by learning from it. Review the company policy on emergency absences or personal days, communicate clearly about your own intentions, don’t sulk about this and move on.

D

ear Amy: I, my friends, my family members and our children were very engaged and excited about the recent presidential election. I took my daughters to the polls on election day, and they were so excited about voting.

Now, we don’t know what to do or how to feel. I feel genuinely depressed. None of us know what to say to our daughters.

Do you have any words for us? — Disappointed Dear Disappointed: The words I have were given to me on election night by a friend. We were all talking about the disenchantment that envelopes you when things don’t go your way.

When things don’t go your way on a grand scale, it can feel overwhelming. We were also talking about all of the young children who had been led to believe their world was changing in a very specific way.

We had two revelations that night: The Republic will go on.

That’s the whole idea behind our democracy. The second revelation was this: If things don’t turn out the way you want them to, it simply means that you have more work to do. People in our generation can continue to do the work, but we may need our children to see it through.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Nov. 23, 2016: This year you do a lot of heavy thinking and evaluating. You might not share your thoughts often, which could cause others to feel as if you have withdrawn. You simply are more reflective. You will succeed in what you choose to do. LIBRA is always your friend. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-Soso; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) **** You might hit a mental roadblock. Whether you don’t have enough information or simply are too tired, you initially might be unable to bypass this obstacle. Don’t worry -- you will leap over it by the end of the day. Tonight: Opt for a midweek break marked by an unusual element.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) **** Encourage a brainstorming session in the morning, when you will be more responsive and creative. Leave the mechanical elements of your life for the afternoon. An associate or partner could be too serious for your taste, but still listen to his or her ideas. Tonight: Be a duo.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) **** The smart move is to allow a partner to run the show. This person could be in one of his or her more critical moods, where whatever you do seems to be displeasing. Walk away from any negativity.

Feelings flow later in the day. Tonight: Go along with suggested plans.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) **** Your moodiness seems to affect your expressions, your choice of clothes, etc. You look as though you are a person on the move. Keep track of all the information that is shared with you; the facts might have more significance than you realize. Tonight: Choose a relaxing hobby.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) **** Handle any financial matters in the morning.

Network and/or socialize later in the day to avoid being lonely. Understand that you could mend a bridge right now if you so choose. Others will respond to you with ease. A friend might be uptight. Tonight: Hang out at a favorite spot.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) *** You could be out of sorts and feel challenged by others. Understand that many of the people around you are overloaded. You will need to pull back and do something differently from how you have in the past. Recognize how much you have to offer. Tonight: Indulge a little.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) **** You’ll go from being quiet and reserved to being exuberant and full of energy. Your personality helps melt barriers. A friend might be stern and serious. Tap into your sense of humor, and you will see a substantial difference in the outcome. Tonight: Wish upon a star.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) **** The early hours of the day will be more important than you realize. A meeting also could prove to be instrumental. In any case, make staying in touch with certain people a priority. Agree to take a risk, even if you get a strong reaction. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) *** Compared to your comrades, you are unusually serious, which seems to cast a cloud over discussions. Your instincts, however, will be right-on. Don’t worry so much about what might be happening.

Lighten up a bit if you want to reach an agreement. Tonight: Where the fun is.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) **** You could be in a mood where you want to honor someone who is instrumental to your life, whether it be a boss or even a parent. Since you keep to yourself so often, making a comment might be harder than you realize. Tonight: Burn the candle at both ends.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) **** You’ll discover that your ability to read others’ reactions well could take the pressure off a difficult situation. Others are often relieved when you manifest this intuitive talent. You tend to be right, but keep in mind that no one is right all the time. Tonight: Read between the lines.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) *** Others continue to want to run the show.

Your feelings are mixed about heading down this path. You might not agree with some of the choices and could feel as if you need to walk in a different direction. Make a decision later. Tonight: Accept an invitation, even if it is very casual.

In today’s world, which seems fraught with sometimes scary and sometimes heart breaking headlines from around the world, it seems ever more important to take time every day to remind ourselves what we have in our

By Julie Stafford Daily Publisher own lives to be thankful for.

Personally, not a day goes by that I’m not thankful for the health of my family. All three of my children are healthy, productive people who are working to serve their communities as difference makers; my mom, who I am lucky enough to be able to see regularly, sets the bar high as my role model not only for how to live a healthy and meaningful life, but also for the importance she places on taking care of those around her; my dog, Lucy, makes us all laugh on a daily basis and is perhaps the best listener in the family. I begin and end every day thankful for the talented and dedicated team we have working at Stafford Media, the parent company of The Daily News. We have more than 120 people companywide - all of whom excel at their craft. I am thankful that we are good at what we do and are thriving in a time when headlines report newspapers cutting staff and closing doors.Last, but certainly not least, I am thankful to live in such a caring community, where people from all different walks of life come together to collaborate on how we can solve issues affecting the people who live here. Great things are happening all around us and it’s because folks here are willing to roll up their sleeves and do the work to make it happen. That is not the case everywhere. But I’m grateful that it happens here.While I know not everyone will have family or bountiful food on their tables tomorrow, my hope is that you can find reason still to give thanks.

I am thankful for the freedoms we are able to celebrate as Americans.

I am thankful for the many men and women what have served in our U.S. military in the past, and are currently serving to keep those

By Amber Rood freedoms alive. I think it is Daily News director of sales and marketing important that we do not take our civil liberties for granted.

Every year, I am grateful for all the wonderful memories I have of Thanksgiving in my past. “Over the river and through the woods to grandmother’s house we go,”

By Stacie Smith happened many Thanksgivings in my Daily News features writer childhood as my parents, sisters and I would head to Lapeer to enjoy Thanksgiving with my Grandma Smith, aunts, uncles and cousins. I recall several being chilly while walking the snow covered sidewalks of Lapeer and listening to the stories my dad and Uncle Dick would tell of their childhood. Now as a parent, I get to start traditions and make memories with my children, mother, sisters and their families. — Stacie Smith, Community and Features Editor

I am thankful for everything that I have in my life. I am thankful for my wife, my daughter and soon to be child. I give thanks for my family and friends who are as close as family. I am grateful to have a job, a roof over my head, and food in my pantry. I am most appreciative for the amount of love in my life. While I could have more, I could also have a lot less.

Xander’s Cheesy Chili Dip

By Stacie Smith

Smith’s eldest son makes this dip for a variety of family get togethers

Daily News features writer

Ingredients: 2 8 ounce packages of cream cheese 2 15 ounce cans of chili without beans 1 1/2 8 ounce packages of shredded cheese (colby jack)

Shiitake Crisps

By Jenny Fike

Daily News Customer Solutions Specialists

Soften the cream cheese and spread on the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Spread the two cans of chili on top. Sprinkle one and half 8 ounce bags. Bake at 400 degrees for 12 minutes. Allow to cool and serve with tortilla chips.

Ingredients: Shiitake mushrooms Vegetable Oil

Pick up some locally grown Shiitake mushrooms from any local Farmers Market Take your shiitakes and cut the stem off (set these aside). Slice the rest of the shiitake caps into bite size pieces. Warm up some vegetable oil in a frying pan and place the bite size pieces into the oil. Fry them until they are crispy. Take them out of the pan and place them on a paper towel to soak up any excess oil. Serve on a steak or as an appetizer with ranch.

If you like to make soup, take the stems and cook them just enough to make them slightly crispy. Place them in a plastic bag and freeze them until you are ready to make your soup. Remember always store fresh mushrooms in a paper bag so they don’t break down as fast.

Spiced Rum Old Fashioned

By Darrin Clark

Daily News managing editor

A classic Old Fashioned is probably my favorite cocktail.

Thanks to “Madmen” making it popular again, you can order one from any decent bartender. The best thing about this cocktail is it is easily customizable. All you need is a spirit, sugar, bitters and a garnish. This great holiday recipe below is from my favorite cocktail book “Shake” by Eric Prum and and Josh Williams. Try it with dessert after Thanksgiving dinner.

Ingredients 4 shots aged rum (any dark rum is fine) 2 cubes cane sugar (or a couple teaspoons if you can’t find cubes) 10 dashes aromatic bitters 2 cloves 1 stick cinnamon (plus 2 to garnish) 2 strips orange zest (plus 2 to garnish) Instructions 1. Add cane sugar cubes and aromatic bitters to shaker.

2. Muddle ingredients in shaker until sugar has mostly dissolved.

3. Add aged rum, cloves, cinnamon and orange zest to the shaker.

Shake vigorously for 30 seconds. Let sit for 30 seconds.

4. Add ice to above the level of the liquid and stir for 10 seconds.

5. Strain the mixture into rocks glasses containing large cubes of ice and garnish with remaining cinnamon and orange zest.

6. Makes two drinks.

Norwegian Waffles

Seasoned Asparagus

I got this recipe from a friend and I think it is a great side addition to a Thanksgiving dinner. Simple to do, too!

By Cory Smith

Daily News Senior Staff writer

This is simple yet difficult, as it is recommended to use a special heart-shaped waffle iron to create these waffles (with my mother, Gerd, being Norwegian, our family’s iron is often in use).

Ingredients 4 SERVINGS 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons sugar 1/2 tsp kosher salt 3 large eggs, separated, room temperature 1 cup sour cream, room temperature 1 tsp vanilla extract 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted, slightly cooled, plus more for waffle iron Brown cheese (Gjetost), crème fraîche, strawberry jam, and/or unsalted butter (for serving)

Ingredients Asparagus olive oil Montreal Steak seasoning Minced garlic Directions Cut off the root end of the asparagus (and remove the rubber bands).

Place the asparagus in a plastic bag, drizzle with olive oil and add in 1 teaspoon minced garlic. Sprinkle liberally with Montreal Steak seasoning. Shake up the bag. Let it sit for 45 minutes (minimum). Then shake the bag up again. Finally, take out asparagus from the back and place them onto the grill and cook through, but be sure it doesn’t burn or wilt. If cooking in an oven, place asparagus on a cookie sheet and cook at 325 degrees for 15 minutes.

Instructions Whisk flour, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk egg yolks, sour cream, vanilla, 1/2 cup butter, and 1/3 cup water in another medium bowl; add to dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. With an electric mixer, beat egg whites to stiff peaks and gently fold into batter. Heat waffle iron until very hot and lightly brush with butter. Working in batches, cook waffles until golden brown and crisp. Stack waffles and serve with desired toppings (my personal favorite is sugar, but any kind of jam is sure to taste delicious).

My mother and I are always encouraging each other to eat healthier. One of our favorite dishes, especially during the holiday/cold weather season is a new take on classic comfort food: Mashed potatoes. The secret ingredient in this recipe is cauliflower, which is often overlooked as a bland and boring vegetable, but it

By Elisabeth Waldon actually has a wonderfully subtle taste that’s enhanced Daily News Editor with the proper ingredients. This is a great recipe if you are looking to eliminate starchy, high carb foods like potatoes while adding more veggies to your lifestyle. Bonus: One serving of cauliflower contains 77 percent of the recommended daily value of vitamin C, among other health benefits.
