Tri County Area Schools to seek
bids for non-instructional services
In a move aimed at saving District
funds, Tri County Area Schools is re-
questing proposals from area frms for
transportation and custodial services.
The request provides companies, as well
as the unions presently performing the
services, with an opportunity to bid on
school services that have traditionally
been handled in-house.
Based upon the experience of other
districts, subcontracting support services
may provide signifcant savings, said
Superintendent, James Scholten. We
would be remiss to overlook any option
in light of the substantial funding cuts
within the state budget just adopted. Any
savings that we have can be invested in
our core mission of educating students.
We may also be eligible for additional per
pupil funding and we cannot overlook an
opportunity to increase our revenues.
While we want to work with the
unions and the employees currently pro-
viding the services to fnd ways to im-
prove productivity and cost savings, it
can be diffcult to compete cost-wise with
frms that have a specifc service area as
their core mission, said Scholten.
Declining revenues, soaring insur-
ance and retirement costs, coupled with
unfunded state and federal mandates for
schools, have led area districts to a point
where all options are being considered.
With the recent school budget cuts, dis-
trict offcials noted that there must be
an assumption that the legislation will
not increase support for schools in the
near future. No later than the upcoming
school year, the district will need to com-
ply with specifc tasks to receive one-time
$100 per pupil incentive revenue.
One of the tasks is to seek bids for
non-instructional services. Also, since
new revenues within the School Aid fund
have been reallocated to balance the
states budget, we have to assume that

The event wrapped up with ice
cream (which was donated by Sallys

a great time and would like to extend
a huge thank you to everyone in our
communities that support us through
donations, purchase of cookies and
nuts, and the support you give to Girl
Scouting.

Newaygo County Commissioners recently reap-
pointed Mike Hamm of White Cloud, Adele Han-
sen of Newaygo, and Stan Nieboer of Fremont to
the Newaygo CMH Board of Directors. NCMH is
pleased with their reappointment. Their three-year
terms expire on April 1, 2014.
Two new board members were also appointed.
Sarah Boluyt, Sand Lake, was appointed to fll a
partial term expiring April 1, 2012, and Ralph Bell,
Newaygo, was appointed for a full three-year term.
So who are Ralph and Sarah?
Sarah comes to us by way of South Dakota where
she was raised on a farm. She moved to Michigan
28 years ago when she married her husband, Steve.
They have lived on their farm in Newaygo County
for 18 years raising beef cattle and meat goats along
with dogs, cats, and chickens! They grow corn, soy-
beans, wheat, and alfalfa. They have 7 children with
5 still living at home. Steve is the building inspector
and zoning administrator for Ensley township. Sar-
ah is currently working some as a home health aide.
I am looking forward to working with the CMH as
I fnd it very interesting, but also feel I have a lot to
learn!!

Pine Grove hosting
summer concert
Pine Grove Community Church is ex-
cited to welcome Doug Anderson of Ernie
Haase and Signature Sound on Sunday,
July 3 at 6 p.m. for the second in the 2011
Summer Concert Series under The Big
Tent. No tickets are necessary. A free will
offering will be received to support the 2011
Summer Concert Series of Pine Grove.
Basketball fans who watched Doug An-
derson play for Lapel High School in the
late-1980s probably had no idea what his
post high school ambition really was.
Most probably assumed that the all-
county, all-state player, longed to become a
college and NBA star. Little did they know
that this standout athlete, who went on to
play for Purdue University, actually aspired
to become a full-time Gospel singer.
Of course, those who knew Doug best
knew he as a product of a singing family
and that this frst love, indeed, was music.
No one knew this more than Doug, himself,
who believed with all his heart that God
would one day allow him to lie his dream of
becoming a full-time quartet member.
That dream became a reality when Doug
joined a quartet know as Lighthouse. His
membership with Lighthouse led to a meet-
ing with Ernie Haase when Lighthouse sang
with Dougs favorite quartet, the Cathedrals.
Ernie was singing with the Cathedrals,
Doug recalls, and we developed a pretty
good friendship. We had a mutual love for
quartet music and basketball. Knowing one
day that the Cathedrals would retire, Ernie
told me if he ever started a group, he would
call me. A few years ago he did.
A small town boy at heart, Doug is
thankful his career as a member of Signa-
ture Sound still allows him to live in his
hometown of Lapel, IN. He and his wife,
Michele, who were high school sweethearts,
married in August of 1998. Michele shares
Dougs love for sports, often calling him
with scores and play-by-play updates when

Ruby Pearl Morris
She was born on April 20, 1913 in
North Liberty, Indiana. She had sev-
eral brothers and sisters and grew up
on a big farm.
She married Jack Martin Guelzo
and moved to Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Jack worked for American Box Board
and Ruby worked at a factory that
made locks. They had four boys; Jack,
Jim, Jan and Jene and one precious
daughter, Jerrie, who was the middle
child. They were The Guelzo family
and very happy.
during those years, Ruby be-
longed to a church and helped with
many school functions, she had many
friends. She loved bowling and did that
for many years.
Jack passed away. It was at that
time that Ruby made the quilt that is
on display, all by hand. She collected
double-knit fabrics from all her friends
and designed each fower carefully,
cutting and stitching whenever she
had time. She was working in a nursing
home, met a gentleman in florida, fell
in love and married Bob Swimburne.
They were married 15 years. When
he passed away three years ago, Jer-
rie brought Ruby to Metron of Cedar
Springs where she has received loving
care. Ruby is 98 this year (2011).
Jerrie wanted to surprise her mom
with a completed quilt and searched
for someone who would tackle the task.
Debbie Castles Sew Happy Group from
Heritage united Methodist Church
took on the challenge and completed
it, backing it with double-knit fabric,
hand tying and binding it.
Jerrie was the only girl and was
quite spoiled, she admits, and she
loved it~
On Friday, May 27, Belva
Bouwsma and Sandra West-
gate, members of the Whis-
pering Pines and Prairie
Chapter, National Society of
daughters of the American
Revolution, held a veterans
appreciation day in front of
Wal-Mart in Fremont. They
handed out thank you cards
to veterans and families of
veterans to thank them for
their service and sacrifces.
They had a display of the
Wreaths Across America pro-
gram and took donations for
Christmas wreaths that will
be placed on veterans graves
at the Grand Rapids Veterans
Cemetery in December.
The Wreaths Across
America program began in
1992 when Mr. Morill Wo-
recester of Maine, placed
5,000 wreaths on veterans
graves at Arlington National
Cemetery in Washington
D.C. Since then the project
has grown. Last december
over 200,000 wreaths were
placed on veterans graves
across the country and over-
seas. Mr. Worecester has a
goal of placing wreaths on
every veterans grave around
the country This year he has
permission to place a wreath
on every soldiers grave in Ar-
lington National Cemetery.
Anyone wishing to purchase a
wreath for this worthy cause,
can go to their website and
make a donation. Also any-
one who wishes to purchase a
wreath for the Grand Rapids
Veterans Cemetery can con-
tact Sandra Westgate at (231)
856-7771 or Mary Anne Es-
kew at (231) 854-3401.

Special THANKS to Mrs. McKeever
and her second grade class at Mac-
Naughton Elementary School for mak-
ing artwork to hang on the walls of the
temporary south entrance to Droski In-
surance Agency!
Mrs McKeevers second grade class
created two large pieces of artwork with
their handprints creating fowers, but-
terfies and birds.
The students, along with Julie Proc-
tor, customer service representative at
Droski Insurance Agency, Inc and Mrs.
McKeever are pictured holding their art-
work. Feel free to stop in and view the
artwork at the agency. The entrance is
located at the south end of the build-
ing and will be accessible throughout
the Howard City downtown Streetscape
Project.
THANK YOU, Mrs. McKeever, and
your class for making our temporary en-
trance bright and cheerful. We truly ap-
preciate it!
Remember all downtown businesses
are open during construction. We appre-
ciate your support.

next year will be as uncertain as
2011 has turned out to be, said
Tamera Powers, the districts Di-
rector of Finance. Next year, the
state may mandate subcontract-
ing or penalize districts that have
not sought such savings.
The Board of Education at Tri
County Area Schools expect to
examine the potential cost-sav-
ings, evaluate companies, and re-
view work responsibilities to en-
sure that contracting with private
vendors allows for a continued
high standard of quality at each
level of service. Offcials with the
district expressed hope that the
union would provide a competi-
tive bid. At the same time, off-
cials noted that private vendors
often hire local people and pro-
vide quality services at greatly
reduced costs.
While expressing unhappiness
with the K-12 budget cuts just
adopted, Mr. Scholten stressed
the importance of maintaining
high educational standards, Tri
County Area Schools is commit-
ted to enhancing student learn-
ing as our core mission in every
classroom every day.

ACADEMI CS ARTS ATHLETI CS ACHI EVEMENT
June 13, 2011
Life brings tears, smiles, and memories. The tears dry, the smiles fade, but the memories last forever. This is the class
motto of the graduates of 2011.
A farewell was said to 154 graduating seniors during the commencement exercises, which took place on Thursday, May 26
in the high school gymnasium. High school principal Kurt Mabie gave
the opening welcome and Superintendent Jim Scholten addressed the
seniors with a farewell.
A unique and touching twist to the usual ceremony was a tribute
to Randy Fisher and Mark Simons. Last fall, both men unexpectedly
passed away. They were a part of the school for years and will be
missed. The tribute was a song titled, Crunching Leaves, written and
performed on the guitar by Ryan Stroud, a 2008 graduate.
The senior band members joined the underclassmen for one last
performance, Hollywood Milestones, a mixture of movie theme songs.
Justin Gravelin gave the Salutatory Address and Frazier Firovich
delivered the Valedictory Address. The Commencement Address was
given by Pastor Jorge Ballivian.
Congratulations Class of 2011!
Current eight-grade teacher Chris Parsons is retiring after 24 years of teaching. She taught grades fourth,
fth, sixth, and eighth in social studies and language arts. Chris said shell miss students who are serious
about their education those who give their best effort, and those who come back to say, hi. She will also
miss the staff and keeping track of students as they move into high school.
I wont miss staying up late to grade papers, rushing deadlines, pleas from students who want to escape
for a bathroom break or drink, and watching the summer calendar slip away, she said.
Chris plans on keeping busy during retirement. I want to visit my kids in Florida when they have babies
- even in January. I plan to sail until the snow ies and enjoy fall colors from the sailboat, and catch up on
neglected friendships, said Chris whose list also includes scrapbooking and genealogy.
A paved path around Ensley Park in Howard City provides a safe
place for people to take a brisk walk while their children play. The path
was made possible through the efforts of Susan Wanner and her staff at
Edgerton Upper Elementary School in Howard City.
The path was dedicated to Sue on June 3 as staff and students were
in attendance. Mayor Mike Scott announced the dedication and his
appreciation for Sues hard work.
Sue retired last year from her
position as principal at Edgerton
Upper Elementary. She began 11
years ago when the school opened
as an elementary to fourth and
fth graders. It was the best years
of my life, said Sue of her time at
Edgerton. She, along with the efforts
of the Edgerton staff and students,
raised the $15,000 to pave the .33-
mile path. A large portion, $10,000,
came from grants. The other money
was raised from walk-a-thons.
Marie
Wilson
Says
Goodbye
after 27
Years
Marie Wilson is retiring from the
kitchen after working 27 years.
She said shell miss the hugs and smiles she gets
everyday from the students at MacNaughton
Elementary.
Marie grew up in the area and went to school
at MacNaughton Elementary. She said the area has
grown signicantly since she was a kid and said
that has changed the way the school has operated
since she began working several years ago.
Upon retirement, Marie plans on visiting her
sons in Wisconsin and spending time with family
and friends. However, there is one thing she cant
wait to do: Sit on the front porch with a cup of
coffee, she said with a smile. Her husband has
been retired for 20 years and along with having
coffee with him in the morning, Marie plans on
helping him with the family farm.
James Scholten will be retiring from Tri County
after 35 and a half years. He began his career teaching
middle school math. He was then principal at Sand Lake
Elementary and at the middle school before he became
the superintendent. Jim also coached varsity wrestling,
middle school track, and was a curriculum director.
The highlights of my career have always been when
I have seen students and staff members achieve success.
Graduation is a joyful time because we celebrate the
fact that our students have accomplished a great goal
with the help of their teachers, parents, coaches, and
other school staff.
Jim said hell miss the relationships with all school
staff, students, and the community members. He plans
on spending more time with his family during retirement.
I encourage teachers to be aware of the high value of creating appropriate
relationships with their students. This is a critical part of the learning process.
Realize your job is to help all students be successful. Understand what you expect
students to learn, determine how you will know they have learned and work hard
with the whole school team to determine how you will help those students who
have not learned.
Superintendent Scholten speaks to
the seniors during the graduation
commencement.
By Jan Malmo
The third grades at MacNaughton have been studying Michigan economics
this spring in social studies. Learning the difference between wants and needs,
products/goods and services is a major portion of the curriculum. To bring the
focus of this to reality, we invited a variety of local business people to come
into our classrooms to teach us about how economics works in their chosen
careers. We were pleased to host a visit from EMT Michelle Cook, Todd Dailey
owner of BC Pizza in Sparta, Terry Derusha oral manager/distributor, Steve
Dewitt local Howard City police, Brian Campbell and Amber Behrendt from
Independent Bank, Tom Carlson manager of Leppinks and Laura Merlington
owner and operator of The Cutting Edge. We thank them for taking time away
from their businesses to share their expertise with us. The classes will also be
creating small businesses of their own and selling their products and services
to the second graders in June on Market Day.
Pictured is Laura showing the
class how she begins the process
for highlighting hair on student,

By Tammy Hetler
On May 19, Marcelo Santana visited Mrs. Hetlers and Ms. Kremers sixth grade geography classes.
Chelo, as he is called, grew up in Puerto Rico living in many different areas of the island. He has
lived in the cities of San Juan, Caguas, Mayaguez and Humacao. He moved to Indiana eleven years
ago to attend college and met his wife, Laura. They have two children named Elena and Antonio. He
currently lives in Newaygo, Michigan and is a youth pastor at Grant Wesleyan Church.
Chelo shared Puerto Ricos geography, history, and culture with the students in a power point
presentation. He showed pictures of historical sites, beaches, caves, lighthouses, popular foods, and
city life. He told students how Puerto Rico is home to four of the seven bioluminescent bays in the
world and is only 110 miles East to West and 35 miles North to South. Growing up in Puerto Rico,
Chelo enjoyed boogie boarding, surng, skateboarding, playing soccer, and hanging out with his
friends.
We would like to say thank you to Chelo for taking time out of his busy schedule to come and
share his culture with our classes. The students appreciated his fascinating information and pictures.
His humor and enthusiastic presentation kept the students on their toes and later on their feet learning to dance the Salsa and Merengue to Latin music.

Kindergarteners from Sand Lake Elementary took a
short road trip to the Dean Wall Farm.
Dean and Kristie Wall generously spent a day away
from their business to open their home and farm to a
herd 52 ve and six year olds. The Walls, along with
two of their sons, and a daughter in law, set up three
stations for the kids to explore. The kids learned about
grooming and caring for horses at the rst station. They
learned about calling cattle, storing feed, hay, and straw
at another. And at a third station, the students learned
about caring for pigs, sheep and goats. Finally, the
kids were treated to homemade ice cream and several
commented: This was the BEST day ever!
By Jan Melmo
The Spring Drama Club from MacNaughton
Elementary performed Jack and the
Beanstalk. They were able to memorize their
lines, a song, and many actions in the ve
weeks they had met after school. There were
30 children from grades Kdg-3rd involved
and were directed by Mrs. Steenland and Mrs.
Malmo. Great job kids!
MacNaughton Parent Boosters
MacNaughton students, teachers and staff want to send
out a big thank you to our fabulous Boosters. Through their
fundraising we are able to go on eld trips, have a eld day
lunch for everyone, get classroom supplies, books, and indoor
recess games. They have provided staff appreciation gifts,
popsicles, run the Bee Store, and taken care of the box tops and
soup labels. It is through their creativity and hard work that
we were given the opportunity to have a Santa Night and our
Spring Carnival. This wonderful group does so much behind
the scenes to help provide us with things that the general
budget just wont cover. Thanks so much for all the time and
effort you spend on our behalf.
The children are assembled for the opening song Jack.

Youre the best - you can do
it all. You deserve a promo-
tion. Youre smart, you do ev-
erything youre asked to. You
know all the answers. Youve
got everything under control.
Your job gets done, and very
well, youd add. Youre pretty
sure that youre the best person
doing your job, in fact, prob-
ably no-one else in your de-
partment could do your job as
well as you do. So whats the
hold-up? Why is everyone get-
ting promoted but you?
No pucks need apply.
Businesses will be only as good
as the combined successes of
their employees. Very success-
ful companies have extraordi-
nary employee teams. Teams
are highly efcient, members
are dependent on each other.
No member acts superior to
others. Everyone does more
than what is asked. Teammates
refuse to take individual credit,
instead insisting that their suc-
cess is a joint effort. Partly its
the self-fullling prophecy. If
you tell someone that theyre
such-and-such, whether thats
good or bad, then that such-
and-such is more likely to
become true. So if you give
your teammates the credit,
you increase the likelihood
they will actually step up and
perform better next time, to be
more creditworthy. If you can
get them to happily perform
better, you give your team the
winning edge.
If you havent been promot-
ed, it could be because you
havent shown how to be part
of a team. It could be youve
been acting like the puck, free-
wheeling, independent, and
overcondent. From your rst
day on the job your employer
has been looking at your ability
to play the team game. Could
you be the next goalie? Goal-
ies take teams to the playoffs.
Being a team player.
Knowing a lot is good. But dont
pat yourself on the back. Share
the credit, no matter how little
someone else contributed. Ex-
pressing your opinion is good.
But practice a positive attitude.
Give a positive way to x that
problem, dont just point it out.
If making coffee isnt your job,
make the coffee. Volunteer to
help someone for no extra pay.
Support your team members.
Dont call in sick (unless you
are really sick). That puts a
strain on workers who pick up
your slack. Get to work early
every day. Maybe a night shift
guy can go home a little ear-
lier then very considerate of
you. Be unbiased. Make no
judgments about others. Dont
listen to rumors and OMG!
dont spread them. Give ev-
eryone the benet of the doubt
and dont take sides. Treat
your mates equally. No favor-
ites. And smile a lot!
Game Rules Change.
When a game plan, a company
policy, the way things have
always been done, changes,
dont complain. Give it your
best try. After a couple of
weeks, make a suggestion to
improve it. One. Respect your
co-workers even when you
cant believe theyre right
believe that theyre trying their
best. Represent your company
with dignity. Be its biggest fan.
Be the goalie. And always re-
member that if you think you
cant be replaced, you can, and
will be.

I Am Too Old
This statement is a self-fullling prophecy and I hear it all the time. Dr. Bennett used to say, It is not your age, it is your
mileage. We are programmed by our culture that when we get old we are worthless. People dream of the day they can
retire and do nothing. For a while that works, but then they get bored. Many begin to have illnesses and health issues. We
need to stay busy and productive. We may not want to continue in our current occupation, but then we should to do
something different that we enjoy.
There are many examples of people who not only continued to work into their seventies and eighties, but who started
new careers at those ages. Colonel Sanders started KFC after he turned 65 and was active in business into his late 80s. Dr.
Fields, over 80, from Saginaw, is a neurosurgeon and still works doing complicated surgeries. Amelia Barr was fty-three
before she wrote a book. After that she wrote over eighty, all of which had a large circulation. Billy Graham, evangelist, is
still active in his ministry in his 90s. Many past Presidents and members of congress, in their 70s and 80s, continue to be
productive in their positions. Many people work and volunteer in the older years.
And why not? These people in their over 60 years have a wealth of knowledge and experience that can be highly
benecial to the younger folks in the work force. Stop thinking of yourself as old and washed up. Think of yourself as a
seasoned veteran with lots of knowledge, experience and understanding. If you are younger, know that you will live and
work until you are ninety. Take care of your body as if you know that it will some day be a prized antique.
Whenever you hear yourself say, I am too old, or at my age, or some other derogatory statement about age, please,
stop and think. Is that really true or are you just following the negative programming from the media, the government, and
your family?
But some people are literally worn out in their forties and fties. That is mostly from the effects of toxins, high carbohydrate
diets, lack of exercise, and injuries. These things are unfortunate, but in most cases are totally
preventable. Do your best to take no medication unless absolutely necessary. By denition, they are
all toxic. Sometimes we have to take meds, but remember natural substances cannot be patented
as prescription medicine, so by law they are all foreign to our bodies and are potentially toxic. Long
term use of these chemicals can cause us to age prematurely just like other toxic substances such as
tobacco, alcohol, coffee, and acidic foods.
Learn to manage your stress because that is a huge factor as far as physical aging. Meditation is a
fabulous way to reverse stress and improve your body from the inside out. Most of all monitor your
self talk. If you hear yourself talking about age and getting old or dying, stop right there and cancel
that thought. See yourself as vibrant and active no matter what your age. Eventually our bodies will
fail, but we should die around the age of 100 in perfect health and this is very possible if we plan for
it.

AM? FM? HD? Satellite? CD? MP3?
Your customers have lots of choices when deciding
what to listen to. When you need to reach those
customers you could choose radio. But should you
choose AM, FM, HD, or Satellite? Ten which format
should you choose: Adult Contemporary, Smooth
Jazz, Rock, Hip Hop, Country, Classical, News, Talk,
Urban, Oldies, Latin, Religious, or Sports? Once
youve chosen the medium and the format youll
need to select the right stations. How many stations
do you listen to? Do your customers listen to the
same ones? Do you need a 30 or 60 second spot?
Finally, which daypart should you advertise on:
morning drive, mid-day, afternoon drive, evening, or
overnight?
If this all seems a bit complicated there is an
alternative. Your free community paper reaches the
most households in our area and ofers two simple
options: size and color. You choose the size and color
options that work for your budget. Its that simple.
Call us today to discuss those two options with a
professional advertising consultant. Well handle
everything. Ten you can sit back and listen to your
iPod without any distractions.
