House fire displaces woman,

eight children in Reed City
By Nicole Hamner Weiss
Weekly Voice

REED CITY — A Reed City fam-

Court of Appeals to hear Nestle booster station case

ily has temporary shelter, for now,
as an upstairs house fire displaced
a woman and eight children.
Last week Debra Metcalf and
her family, which includes several
foster and adopted grandchildren,
were removed from their home
when an upstairs fire broke out
about 5 p.m. July 16.
The family saw black smoke
billowing out of an upstairs bed-
room where Metcalf had set off
one of four bug foggers in the
home.
Metcalf said she and her kids
were packing to leave the home
for what was supposed to be an
evening of warm summer sun.
Now, Metcalf admits the future
is uncertain.
The fire remains under investi-
gation, as old or damaged wiring
and the potential of the flam-
mable foggers are all part of the
process, said fire officials.
While the fire began in the
upstairs where there was Met-
calf ’s bedroom, an attic and some
converted bedroom space for
the family, fire chief Jeff Stein
donned fire gear and investigated
the basement and wiring as well
as firefighters from Reed City and
Hersey worked on the upstairs,
even cutting holes in the roof to
gain access and make sure the
smoke and fire was put out safely.
According to Jeff Stein, chief
of the Reed City Fire Depart-
ment, until the cause of the fire
is known, it may be unsafe for the
large family to return home.
Stein and other officials contact-
ed Red Cross and for now, Metcalf,
who had planned to just stay with
her family in the backyard tent,
is safe in an area hotel, for at least
another week.
After that, it is still unknown,
as there is work to be done on the
house, including extensive smoke
repair and wiring.
It hasn’t been an easy year for
Metcalf, who lost her husband in
November and she is now the pri-
mary caregiver for a number of
her grandchildren.
Now, all the family can do is be
grateful for each other as Metcalf
hopes the home she is working
hard to buy will be availablr soon.
Anyone interested in making
donations, offering food, help, and
supplies, can contact daugher

Osceola Township appealed booster station decision to higher court
By Karen Hopper Usher
Staff Writer
CADILLAC — The Michigan Court of
Appeals has agreed to hear Osceola Town-
ship’s appeal of a circuit court decision
allowing Nestle to build a booster station
in the township.
The township initially denied Nestle
Waters North America’s request for a per-
mit to build a booster station near Evart.
The company took it to court and won. A
Mason County judge (who heard the case
after local judges recused themselves)
ruled in December 2017 that the township
had to approve the permit. The township
began appeal proceedings in January
2018.
On July 18, the court of appeals agreed
to hear the case.
The court will consider three questions,
according to William Fahey, the town-
ship’s lawyer.
The court of appeals will decide if the
township planning commission and zon-
ing board of appeals properly considered
Nestle Waters’ request to build a booster
pump station at the proposed location;
whether a “public convenience and neces-
sity” standard applies to the booster pump
station; and whether the proposed booster
pump station fails to serve the public con-
venience and necessity standard under
the township zoning ordinance, according
to a news release.
Nestle says it is not surprised that the
court of appeals will hear the case but the
company believes the circuit court deci-
sion was correct.
“As we have stated previously, we firmly
believe that the Circuit Court ruling or-
dering Osceola Township to issue a permit
for our request to build a small, 12-foot by
22-foot building to house a booster pump
is appropriate and should be upheld,”
said Arlene Anderson-Vincent, a natural
resource manager for the Ice Mountain
brand, which Nestle owns. “We believe
the favorable Circuit Court ruling dem-
onstrates the plan we proposed met the
Township’s site plan and special land use
standards.”
It’s not the only appeal Nestle is facing.
In April, the Michigan Department of
Environmental Quality approved Nestle’s
request to increase the amount of water
it withdraws from the White Pine Springs
well near Evart. MDEQ granted permis-
sion for Nestle to go from pumping 250 gal-
lons per minute to 400 gallons per minute.
In May, a water conservation group filed
paperwork to appeal MDEQ’s decision.
If the agency’s decision stands, Nestle
wants the Osceola Township booster sta-
tion to accomplish its water pumping
goals.
To pump 400 gallons per minute from
the White Pine Springs well, Nestle will
need more pumping power. That’s why the
company asked to build the controversial
booster station in Osceola Township.
The court of appeals has not set a date
for the township’s appeal. Fahey told the
Cadillac News he anticipated the process
could take about a year.
Nestle maintains that the booster sta-
tion will be a benefit to the community.
“From the beginning, our goal with this
request has been to reduce, as much as
possible, any impact to the local commu-
nity and the environment,” Anderson-Vin-
cent said. “In addition, the structure will
be a positive contribution and will add ad-
ditional tax revenue to the Township.”

Dulcimer Festival passes on traditions to next generation
By Victoria Martin
Weekly Voice
Passing down music
from generation to genera-
tion is an important part
of the Evart Dulcimer
Festival.
The festival took place
on July 19 - July 21 encour-
aging players young and
old to participate in work-
shops designed for all skill
levels.
“We are a family envi-
ronment,” said President
of the Dulcimer Festival
Kathy Raymon. “Our goal
is to promote and educate
not just on the dulcimer
but other instruments as
well.”
Raymon stressed her
own excitement to pass
down the traditions and
folk music to her 3-year-old
granddaughter.
“I can’t wait to share the
experience with her and
watch her experience the
festival,” she said.
While parents went to
different workshops for
their instrument, kids
gathered in the youth pa-
vilion to have a day filled
with learning different
instruments like the dul-

“We have quite a few kids

REED CITY — Phylis Pauline
Sandlin, age 72, of Reed City
passed away on Sunday, July 15,
2018 at her home with her daugh-
ter and grandsons by her side.
Phylis was born on November 7,
1945 and was raised in Reed City to
Max and Genevieve (Fisher) Bab-
cock and was a 1963 graduate of
Reed City High School. On August
7, 1964 she was married to David
Sandlin and celebrated 42 years of
marriage together. Phylis and Da-
vid traveled the country together,
living at different Army bases
during the first 22 years of their
marriage until settling in Reed
City near family, where she raised
her family and lived the remain-
der of her life.
Obituary
Phylis Pauline Sandlin
She was employed with the Reed
City school system in the kitchen
and was known as either the
“lunch lady” or “apron lady” due
to her always wearing a different
cartoon character on her apron ev-
ery day. She loved getting a “good
deal” and enjoyed yard sales and
second-hand stores where she
would shop for anyone and every-
one whether you had asked her to
or not. She will be dearly missed
by her family and those close to
her.
She is survived by her daughter,
Kim; grandsons, Shawn, Ryan
(Heather), and Rylee; great-grand-
children, Jaycee and Killian; her
sister, Marlene; a niece, Beth; and
her great-nephews, Justin and
Geoffrey.
She was preceded in death by
her loving husband, David; her
parents, Max and Genevieve;
brothers, Butch and Lloyd; and
her cousins, Sandy and Butch
(Monroe).
A celebration of her life will
take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on
Sunday, July 29, 2018 at the Reed
City Depot. Burial at Woodland
Cemetery in Reed City will take
place at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, a memorial
contribution may be made in her
name to a charity of your choice
or to the family to offset funeral
expenses.

Osceola County commissioner seventh district candidates answer questionnaire

• Tell us a little about yourself:
My name is Larry Emig and my wife’s
name is Libby. We have three grown chil-
dren who all attended Reed City Schools
and participated in sports and band. They
all live in Michigan and we have been
blessed with three grandchildren and an-
other on the way. Besides being a commis-
sioner for a number of years, the past 16
years, I have overseen a contract with the
Department of Health and Human Ser-
vices in Human Services. I facilitate and
act as a resource person to the Osceola
County Human Services Collaborative
Body (HSCB). There are a number of
sub-committee’s under the HSCB that I
also help facilitate. In my commissioner
role, I also serve on the Michigan Works
West Central Board, Mec/Os Youth Atten-
tion Center Board and the Area Aging of
West Mich Board of Directors. These are
boards that require a commissioner to be
a member. I have been elected as County
Board Chair by my colleagues for the past
three terms. I believe this is due in part to
my ability to be a consensus builder and
my leadership abilities.
• Why should voters choose you to be
an Osceola County commissioner?
I think my experience really is impor-
tant. I know our county departments, our
staff and how county government works.
Commissioners are mainly responsible
for the county budget. We need to be good
stewards of county taxpayers’ dollars and
maintain a balanced budget. We also need
to provide our departments/programs
with the tools and finances they need to
do their jobs and to provide the various
needed services that the county residents
use. I am proud of the fact that during my
tenure, we have maintained a balanced
Incumbent, Larry Emig
budget; even during the
recessionary periods a few
years ago. We were able to
work through that time with-
out laying off or eliminating
positions while many other
counties were eliminating
services and reducing staff
levels. The county is proud
of the fact that the court-
house and jail addition proj-
ects that were bonded have
all been paid off. I believe I
have and can still help make Larry Emig
a difference.
• What do you see as the most im-
portant issues facing the county and
your district? How do you propose to
address them?
While the county board has worked
hard to maintain a balanced budget,
provide needed equipment and improve
infrastructure and facilities, we still have
much ahead of us. We certainly wish to
maintain a balanced budget while main-
taining services. One significant project
we are working on is courthouse security.
We have and continue to establish a pri-
ority list of those changes and needed
equipment to help protect the staff and
the public who use our courthouses. We
are addressing these issues through the
budget process. Another factor this year
is that all of our union contracts are up
this year. We are pleased that in the past,
we have been able to negotiate these con-
tracts within our allowed budget and pro-
vide a decent wage and benefits for union
and nonunion employees. We can’t pay
high wages nor do we want to be low. We
want to be competitive to maintain our
good staff and be able to attract people
when we have staff open-
ings.
• How much interaction
have you had with con-
stituents of your district?
Do they think Osceola
County government is do-
ing a good job?
Most often my interac-
tion with constituents is
through attending events in
the community as well as
File photo being a member of a number
of local organizations. I am
a member of the Reed City
Rotary Club, Reed City Chamber, and a
Trustee on the Osceola County Communi-
ty Foundation to name a few. People know
I am a commissioner and that I always
welcome questions/comments and seek
input from folks about issues and county
services.
• Are there any county services or
departments that should never have
their funding cut in the event of a
budget deficit?
I’m sure every department feels that the
services they provide are important and
provided a needed service. I would say
that in a time of tight budgets or possible
funding cuts, I would not want to elimi-
nate or significantly cut any of our Public
Safety Departments. That would be our
Sheriff ’s Department and EMS Services.
Crime doesn’t take a holiday nor do
people who have significant health issues
or accident etc. We still need to keep the
community safe and take care of the sick
and injured. I would also want to add our
Emergency Management Department.
In addition to the other Public Safety De-
partments, EMD jumps into action when
there are tornadoes, floods, chemical
spills, major pileups, active shooters, etc.
While the other departments are impor-
tant, the Public Safety Departments could
mean a life or death situation. We can
consider other options and be creative
during a tight budget time in looking at
hours or a shorter work week. Sometimes
you need to think out of the box.
• Drug addiction is an ongoing prob-
lem throughout the area and U.S. Are
there any steps the county should
take on a local level to address this is-
sue?
This is not something that there is one
easy answer or action that will eliminate
this problem. One key factor is that of
education. Doctors who issue the medica-
tion, patients who take the medications
and the manufacturers who make these
addicting drugs all need to work together
and know how these drugs work and be
very familiar with how they will affect
the patients who take them. As you indi-
cated, this is not only a local issue but na-
tionwide. It will take collaboration among
local, state and national legislators to
establish polices and legislation around
use and reporting and knowing who is go-
ing doctor to doctor. Michigan has taken
legislative steps in that direction. From
a county stand point, we have joined in
as part of an opioid litigation against the
manufacturers of these addicting drugs.
I’m sure we will continue to consider oth-
er options at a local level to help reduce
this serious problem.
• Have you ever been convicted of a
crime? If so, please explain.
No

Challenger, Sally Momany

• Tell us a little about yourself:
I was born and raised in Reed City. I
have been married to my husband Ross
for 39 years. My husband was on the Reed
City Fire Department for 25 years, serv-
ing 12 years as Fire Chief. He, along with
Ralph Westerburg, built the current Reed
City Fire Station. I have two children,
Ross and Rebecca, and two grandchil-
dren, Jonathan and Emmet. I worked
as a first and second grade teacher for
28 years for RCAPS. At the same time, I
was a part-time paramedic for Osceola
County EMS for 15 years working nights,
weekends, summers and holidays. After
retirement I worked part-time for Osceola
County EMS from 2013-2015, then moved
to full-time employment from 2015-2017.
In 2017 I became a medical death investi-
gator working for Mid-Michigan Medical
Examiner Group covering six counties
surrounding Osceola County. We, as a
family, have always been a part of the
community giving back. My son was a
firefighter and my daughter a teacher.
This is another way I hope to continue to
give back to the community.
• Why should voters choose you to be
an Osceola County commissioner?
