Youth
Summit set
for March
17-18
The Youth Summit is scheduled
for March 17-18, 2012 at Lincoln
Lake Baptist Camp. The youth sum-
mit is being sponsored by the Mont-
calm Coalition to Prevent Underage
Drinking, (MCPUD) and is open to
all high school students in Montcalm
County who want to make a differ-
ence and be part of the solution of
underage drinking. We have already
done a mailing to area school per-
sonnel and church leaders. We are
hoping to have students representing
each school district including home
schoolers. We are asking area schools
and churches that they consider the
teens they are in contact with, who
they feel would beneft from this
summit, and encourage them to fll
out an application to attend.
The summit will include the ex-
ploration of three main ideas of
healthy living:
1. What choices we have,
2. How to stand by those choices,
3. How to connect with others
who have those same standards.
The summit will consist of brain-
storming sessions and activities to
reinforce the sessions. Participation
is limited to 50 students so encour-
age them to apply asap. The summit
is free. For more information you or
the student can contact either Lynn
Cooper at (989) 831.4591, LynnCoo-
per@CherryHealth.com or Pastor
Paul Spittka at 616.225.2105, Pastor-
Paul@gcclink.com. MCPUD is really
excited to be able to provide this op-
portunity for students, so please en-
courage them to apply.

Bruce Traverse chosen as
honorary associate of the
year at Carson City Hospital
Congratulations to Carson City Hospitals Honorary
Associate of the Year Bruce Traverse, FACHE, for-
mer president and CEO. Traverse retired from the hos-
pital he has been passionately devoted to for so many
years on Dec. 31, 2011. He was chosen to receive this
honor because of his more than 30 years of dedication
and commitment to the hospital and community. As-
sociates at the hospital feel Bruce has always worked

and the community as a whole, and they have been
consistently inspired by Bruces commitment to excel-
lence.
Sheridan Community Hospital (SCH) is part-
nering with Michigan Rural Healthcare Preserva-
tion (MRHP) and renowned neurosurgeons Dr.
Tim Spencer,Dr. Gerald Schell, Dr. Naman Salibi,
and Dr. E. Malcolm Field to collaborate on a neu-
rosurgery program to ensure the hospital contin-
ues to thrive and that the local economies grow
with it. The neurosurgery program, led by Dr.
Spencer, and MRHP Medical Director, Dr. Field, is
built around minimally invasive spine procedures
that are appropriate even for outpatient clinical
facilities. It provides convenient access to care for
patients in an intimate hospital facility where pa-
tient care and safety come frst.
Sheridan Community Hospital is the only facil-
ity in west and central Michigan taking advantage
of recent advancements in techniques for spinal
surgery. For the frst time ever, SCH is presenting
spinal surgery and back-pain treatment in a new
light. Sheridan Hospital is a superb facility with
exceptionally gifted and caring staff. We are incred-
ibly pleased to provide such new and innovative,
minimally disruptive, minimally invasive, services
to the local community, said Dr. Spencer.
Applying the most advanced surgical approach-
es, and taking advantage of the leading endoscop-
ic, laser-assisted, and microscopic techniques, this
new surgical program emphasizes patient safety
and comfort while providing for the quickest re-
covery and return to normal activities. At the same
time, this medical approach preserves normal
bodily structures and ensures minimal blood loss
and minimal time under anesthesia. The advance-
ments in medical science and medical engineering
that facilitate this program are truly remarkable.
Eighty percent of people will suffer from back
pain at some point in their lives. For years, people
who have suffered debilitating back pain were
told there is nothing that can be done; they were
instructed to just live with it. This is no longer
true. The new neurosurgery program at SCH now
allows for many common back and spine issues to
be resolved quickly, effectively, and safely, at a lo-
cal community hospital. The medical engineering
built around this program ensures that the same
equipment used at the most advanced spine cen-
ters in the United States can now be found much
closer to home at Sheridan Hospital.

Bruce Traverse chosen as
honorary associate of the
year at Carson City Hospital
Congratulations to Carson City Hospitals Honorary
Associate of the Year Bruce Traverse, FACHE, for-
mer president and CEO. Traverse retired from the hos-
pital he has been passionately devoted to for so many
years on Dec. 31, 2011. He was chosen to receive this
honor because of his more than 30 years of dedication
and commitment to the hospital and community. As-
sociates at the hospital feel Bruce has always worked
towards what is best for hospital employees, patients
and the community as a whole, and they have been
consistently inspired by Bruces commitment to excel-
lence.
Sheridan Community Hospital (SCH) is part-
nering with Michigan Rural Healthcare Preserva-
tion (MRHP) and renowned neurosurgeons Dr.
Tim Spencer,Dr. Gerald Schell, Dr. Naman Salibi,
and Dr. E. Malcolm Field to collaborate on a neu-
rosurgery program to ensure the hospital contin-
ues to thrive and that the local economies grow
with it. The neurosurgery program, led by Dr.
Spencer, and MRHP Medical Director, Dr. Field, is
built around minimally invasive spine procedures
that are appropriate even for outpatient clinical
facilities. It provides convenient access to care for
patients in an intimate hospital facility where pa-
tient care and safety come frst.
Sheridan Community Hospital is the only facil-
ity in west and central Michigan taking advantage
of recent advancements in techniques for spinal
surgery. For the frst time ever, SCH is presenting
spinal surgery and back-pain treatment in a new
light. Sheridan Hospital is a superb facility with
exceptionally gifted and caring staff. We are incred-
ibly pleased to provide such new and innovative,
minimally disruptive, minimally invasive, services
to the local community, said Dr. Spencer.
Applying the most advanced surgical approach-
es, and taking advantage of the leading endoscop-
ic, laser-assisted, and microscopic techniques, this
new surgical program emphasizes patient safety
and comfort while providing for the quickest re-
covery and return to normal activities. At the same
time, this medical approach preserves normal
bodily structures and ensures minimal blood loss
and minimal time under anesthesia. The advance-
ments in medical science and medical engineering
that facilitate this program are truly remarkable.
Eighty percent of people will suffer from back
pain at some point in their lives. For years, people
who have suffered debilitating back pain were
told there is nothing that can be done; they were
instructed to just live with it. This is no longer
true. The new neurosurgery program at SCH now
allows for many common back and spine issues to
be resolved quickly, effectively, and safely, at a lo-
cal community hospital. The medical engineering
built around this program ensures that the same
equipment used at the most advanced spine cen-
ters in the United States can now be found much
closer to home at Sheridan Hospital.

Neurosurgery at Sheridan Community Hospital

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Unable to address
issues at board
meeting
TO THE EDITOR:
In last nights Reynolds Township
meeting I attempted to answer a letter
I received from the Township Attorney
on behalf of the Board Members. This
letter insinuated or accused me of the
following items. (1) I have been ambigu-
ous and unclear, (2) I have used FOIA to
harass Township Offcials, monopolize
their time and resources and engage in
the destructive practice of gotcha, (3)
trying to monopolize Township Off-
cials time in a total of 20 hours so they
can not do their normal duties, (4) that
Ive been trying to dictate the schedule
of the Township Clerk or other Town-
ship Offcials, (5) that I have been rude
and abusive with Township Offcials and
statements regarding past events or what
I claim I have been told by Township Of-
fcials have been distorted and erroneous,
(6) I have been accused of unreimbursed
cost that I am causing the Township to
have incurred is not fair to all of the other
Township taxpayers.
During the frst section of the pub-
lic comments I started answering the
charges but was told my time was up and
was not allowed to continue. I dont be-
lieve this has been imposed on any one in
the past, graciously another offered their
time so I may continue answering but the
Supervisor Keith Grannis denied this so I
was not allowed to continue. During the
second section under public comments
I wanted to continue answering these
charges to the citizens of the Township
but was told again by the Supervisor I
was not allowed to speak.
I believe this shows the one sided
opinion of the Supervisor and Board
Members when they will not allow me to
answer the charges or claims that they
made against me in front of the citizens
of our community. You have to ask your-
self why they do not want you to hear the
other side so you can draw your own con-
clusions.. For any one that is interested I
will attempt once again to answer to the
citizens so you can hear for yourselves.
Lets hope that the Supervisor and Board
Members will allow me the time neces-
sary to answer these charges at the Feb. 9
meeting at 7 p.m. Hope to see you there.
RObERT RIcHaRDs
Reynolds Township
No hidden agendas
TO THE EDITOR:
It is with great hesitance that I write
this letter. I frmly believe that town-
ship business should not be conducted
in the media. However, the systematic
attack on township via this publication
has prompted me to try to set the record
straight. The negative letters to the edi-
tor have been submitted by and for those
who have violated the zoning ordinance.
Offcial documents including court re-
cords regarding every complaint raised
are in the township offce for anyone to
see. The zoning ordinance was adopted
by the people of Reynolds Township.
That document is what dictates what is
and what is not allowed. When a town-
ship trustee is sworn into offce they
take an oath to uphold the law. There is
no provision to waive the laws when it
would be easier to do so. If the zoning
ordinance was not evenly enforced in the
past, that does not relieve the current
zoning administrator and administration
from their statutory duties. Most of the
negative letters have been riddled with
misinformation. As Winston Churchill
once said A lie gets halfway around the
world before the truth has a chance to get
its pants on. The recent personal attacks
on Pat DeJong and Keith Grannis are
grossly unfair. Keith has been a wonder-
ful leader who is a life long resident and
has a long history of public service to this
community. He and Pat have no hidden
agenda or ax to grind. It is my pleasure to
serve with them both. They have integrity
and are serving the people of Reynolds
Township well.
ROgER sTEDman
Reynolds Township Treasurer
Proud of Keith
Grannis
TO THE EDITOR:
I am writing in response to John Pow-
ells letter to the editor that attacked Keith
Grannis character and accused him of ly-
ing. Keith Grannis is a lifelong resident of
Reynolds Township. Keith retired from
Tri County Schools as a respected and
effective teacher and coach. Keith dedi-
cated himself to the students, parents
and staff of Tri County Schools for more
than thirty years. He is currently Howard
Citys Assistant Fire Chief and has served
on the HCFD since the 1970s. Keith is
also a lieutenant of Montcalm County
Emergency Rescue Services, Rescue 27
& 29. He has literally put his life on the
line for the residents of Reynolds Town-
ship. Keiths support of the community
has always been fair, ethical, trustworthy
and above reproach. His body of work
speaks for itself. Our community should
be proud to have him represent us.

Enterprise do not refect the overall opinion of the

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
Honesty may be the best policy, but its important

The Senior High Koinonia Players will perform Songs of the
Night, at 3 p.m. on Feb. 3 and at 2 and 7 p.m. on Feb. 7 at the Kent

Directed by Ruth Andurs, Songs of the Night is written by
Robert Henninger, and is a historical biography depicting the life
of one of Americas most well-known and beloved song writers,
Fanny Crosby.
Overcoming the tragic accident that blinded her, she saw deep
into the heart of God and shared that vision in songs. As we follow
this womans life through the mid 1800s, we fnd both humor and
tragedy.

What does a Lakeview Wildcats fan name
his towing company? For Larry Cole, at Cen-
tral Michigan Tire, the decision was easy. And
so Wildcat Towing opened to the public on Dec.
14, 2011. Located on M-46 in Lakeview, Wildcat
Towing will be servicing Mecosta, Isabella and
Gratiot Counties as well as Montcalm. Cole, an
avid Lakeview Wildcats fan and football coach,
decided that it was only natural to purchase a
wrecker and bring vehicles into Central Michigan
Tire for servicing. Central Michigan Tire already
offers fuid delivery, winching, tire changing,
lockout, battery service and more...so towing was
a logical addition. One truck will lead to more,
Im sure, Cole said.
Cole is working to get Wildcat Towing onto
the list of tow trucks that are called by the coun-
ties to respond to motor vehicle incidents where
a tow might be needed. Cole has also started ex-
pansion plans for a secure impound lot at Central
Michigan Tire. Cole is excited about the new de-
velopments he has implemented. Our goal is to
help Central Michigan Tire and its relationship
with its customers. We also want to continue our
positive relationship with our community.
Dan Clark, formerly of Horsepower Automo-
tive/Fast Track Towing, will be Wildcat Towings
driver. Open 24/7, just call (989) 352-5757.

WINFIELD TOWNSHIP
Special Meeting
December 14, 2011
Meeting called to order and opened with the Pledge by Supervisor Phyllis Larson.
Members present: Supervisor Phyllis Larson, Clerk Colleen Stebbins, Treasurer Cathy
Killinger and Trustee Dan Kanouse came at 7:14 p.m. and apologized for being late.
PURPOSE OF THE MEETING: Appoint Trustee and any other Township busi-
ness.
PUBLIC COMMENT: Opened at 7:06 p.m. Gregg Schuitema stated objections to
starting late and without presence of Dan Kanouse. Public comment closed at 7:09
p.m.
PAYMENT OF BILLS: Motion by Cathy, second by Colleen to pay check numbers
9265 & 9266 for a total of $2,059.34, roll call: Cathy yes, Colleen yes, Phyllis yes,
motion passed.
Colleen reported talked with Allied Waste about dumpster at Amble Cemetery, there
will be no bill for December and next spring they will exchange the 6 yard dumpster
for a 4 yard at no extra cost.
Phyllis reported the Planning Commission will be having a Public Hearing January
23, 2012 at 7 p.m.
APPOINTMENT OF TRUSTEE:
Motion by Cathy to appoint Daniel Kinsey to ll remainder of Jim Radfords term as
trustee, no second, motion died.
Dan called for discussion and asked each one why they should be considered for posi-
tion of trustee.
Gregg Schitema stated, in his opinion the meetings needed to have objections and
negative votes. When questioned further, he was very argumentative (even cussing).
He was arguing with Board members about his past behavior as Fire Chief, not pre-
paring re bills, not getting invoices to Clerk so they could be paid on time and at
previous meeting where he was removed via police.
He also stated that he had not accepted Assistant Fire Chief, as Fire Chief Bill Knapp
had not talked with him, just e-mailed his wife after the Boards December 8, 2011
meeting. Gregg complains he has to tell Bill when the re meetings are as Bill forgets
or comes late. If appointed he would see that Dan Kanouse wouldnt be late to meet-
ings.
Daniel Kinsey stated that he is willing to serve in order to be of help to the Township,
if appointed.
Motion by Dan, second by Cathy to appoint Daniel Kinsey to Trustee for the remain-
der of Jim Radfords term of ofce, roll call: Dan yes, Colleen yes, Phyllis yes, Cathy
yes, motion passed.
Daniel is a member of the Zoning Board of Appeals, now he will be Boards repre-
sentative, so the ZBA will need a third person, there are two alternates who may wish
to be the third person.
ADJOURN: Motion by Dan, second by Colleen to adjourn at 7:34 p.m., voice vote,
motion passed.
Respectfully,
Colleen Stebbins
Wineld Township Clerk

A wonderful memory. Almost every week I am
reminded of my mother, who passed away several
years ago.
My mother came to Canada by ship at age 18, from
still-First-World-War-torn Finland. It was 1930, the
eve of the Great Depression here. Mother soon married
another immigrant, a Russian. Life in Canada turned
out to be hard. After the Depression, World War II took
its toll. It was not the time to be a Russian in North
America. But by the time I was born both of them
spoke, read and wrote English very well well, except
for a few words that my mother pronounced with a
markedly U.P.-ish accent. And my Mother had become
a citizen a model citizen.
An opinion based on facts. In high school, me just
home from ball practice, she would be sitting at the
kitchen table. Shed have read the newspaper and be
up-to-date on the home-town politics. She knew how
the mayor felt about every issue. She had read the city
Commission rulings to know how they would affect us.
She wanted action from her elected ofcials. I wonder
what that Commissioners going to do about extending
the east ditch on Korah Road? Mr. Tyynella thinks
we should vote Ben Outinen to the zoning commission,
but I hear he didnt support letting the Lutheran Church
expand its parking lot, so I dont like him. Theyre hard
workers. She wasnt particularly religious, but she
supported the good works of the good Lutheran folks.
She understood duty. Most of all, my mother knew it
was her duty to be and stay informed about all matters
of government, to exert her rights, and to support her
community by expressing herself to the elected. She
knew it was her privilege, and duty, to vote. Early on I
knew that if you didnt like what the Commissioner did,
you called him and gave your opinion. And sometimes
he would stop for coffee to talk about your opinion.
Almost always, he was happy you had one. And if
he didnt always do what you expected of him, you
exercised your vote against him in the next election.
Facts and rights mattered. When I grew up, most
peoples opinions were based on facts. Most knew their
rights and relished their freedoms - they made it their
business. Most understood their property rights when
they couldnt have even owned property in their birth
land. Most spoke calmly, reasonably, and listened in
conversations. They knew their local elected ofcials,
often on a rst name basis. Most voted. Almost all of
them were involved.
Why dont more people vote today? Its not so true
nowadays. People have loud opinions. But ask them
what facts they base their opinions on? Many cant
quote one true fact, though most will quote their
neighbors opinion as if it were the gospel. Where have
the informed people gone? Why dont people make
some effort?
She comes to my ofce. Almost every week or so my
mother comes into my ofce and restores my faith in
Americans. Shes 55 or 66 or 80. Shes here to discuss
the new farming laws. Or to do some revisions to her
estate plan now that shes newly widowed. Or for
help in contesting her property tax bill. Shes feisty,
opinionated, independent. She has reasons. She is
reasonable. She tells me why she votes for whomever
it is she supports. She asks me whom I support for
President and she wants to know why. She knows the
law that affects her. She explains why the neighbors
easement has intruded on her 50 feet of the west half
of her north forty, and she knows how to read her
own propertys legal description. She still reads the
newspaper cover to cover. Shes my mother all over
again. And what a joy for me.
I spend the time listening and wishing she would just
stay on for another cup of coffee, but she leaves after
our interview is done. I wait for our next meeting so
we can laugh together over some National politicians
gaff that tickled her, or about how her son-in-law still
cant wire a garage as well as she could if only her
knees were better. And Im pleased, pleased that my
mother was a perfect example of how to be a model
citizen, and pleased there are still people out there
acting as a good role model for their own children and
grandchildren, some of whom will grow up wanting to
vote, just like I did. I will vote in 2012, because it is my
privilege. Will you?

Winter Itch
About this time of year a lot of people are miserable, not with the winter blues, or cabin fever, but
with Winter Itch. This is a condition of dry, itchy skin, usually with some small red bumps, sometimes little
pustules. Usually this is found on the upper arms, mid and upper back, chest and upper abdomen, and
sometime on the legs.
Most of the time, it is related to a reduction of skin moisture and skin oil. It may also be aggravated by
over heating parts of the body by heavy clothing.
The solutions are fairly simple.
Run a humidier in your home, especially in sleeping areas. Humidity should be between 45 and 65.
There should be a little condensation on the bottoms of the window panes. Not too much; that might
ruin the window frames.
Drink adequate water (chlorine free). Most adults should have between 40-60 ounces per day. Coffee
and soda pop are not considered water. In fact, they are dehydrating and contribute to the problem.
Reduce the temperature of your bath or shower. Hot water removes some of the skin oils which are
needed to lubricate the skin. Also only soap and scrub the important areas of your body: hair, armpits,
bottom, and privates. Scrubbing the rest of the body removes much needed skin oils.
Add oil to your diet. For adults, two tablespoons of olive oil every day is helpful
(can be mixed in food) and Omega 3 (sh or axseed oil) 2000-4000 mg per day with
food in two or three doses are highly benecial for skin, hair, joints, and arteries.
Natural Vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol) 400-800 units per day may be added with
benet to your skin and blood vessels. Be careful not to use synthetic Vitamin E (l or
dl-alpha tocopherol) as it may add to the inammation in your blood vessels.
Finally, in un-sunny Michigan, Vitamin D3 (2000 mg per day) is a good thing. It is not
necessarily needed to control the winter itch, but it is great for helping some other
winter health problems.

How can you keep
your kids off drugs?
You can start simply by talking to them.
Have a calm discussion with your
children about the dangers of drug use,
so they can feel comfortable
asking questions without fearing
anger or judgement. If you keep
an open dialogue with your children,
its more likely theyll come to you
for advice in the future.
TIP SHEET for helping kids
stay drug-free
Be a good role model.
Set clear rules for teens.
Safeguard your prescription medications.
Keep an open dialogue.
