Teen killed and two others injured in accident
A 16-year-old Cedar Springs teen was
killed and two other teens were injured
Thursday morning, August 23, when the car
they were riding in ran off the road and hit
a tree.
According to Kent County Sheriff Sgt.
James Loughrin, the accident occurred
about 8:20 a.m. The 16-year-old male driver
and two male passengers were headed north
on White Creek Avenue, north of Wiersma,
when the car veered off the road and hit a
tree.
The driver, Wyatt Phillips, 16, of Cedar
Springs, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The front seat passenger, Johnny Klaasen,
16, of Cedar Springs, suffered a shoulder injury and was transported to the hospital by
ambulance. It took over an hour to extricate
the back seat passenger, Sean Thompson,
16, of Sparta, who was critically injured
with head and leg injuries. Rescue workers
had to open up the back of the car to get him
out. Sean was awake and talking to officers
and rescue personnel as they worked. He
was taken to Butterworth by AeroMed, and
is still hospitalized with serious injuries.
According to investigating Deputy Jason VanDyke, police believe that excessive
speed was the cause of the accident. They
do not believe alcohol was involved. All
were wearing their seatbelts.
Cedar Springs High School set up a crisis team
in the high school media center for students to
come in and talk to a counselor. A candlelight
vigil was held for Wyatt Phillips at Cedar’s first
home football game, Friday, August 24.
Wyatt is the son of Scott and Danielle Phillips
of Cedar Springs. Wyatt, a junior this year, was a
member of the Cedar Springs High School Varsity Soccer team, and appeared in several theatre
United in worship
Post photo by J. Reed.
Several hundred Christians across the Cedar Springs area
dropped their denominational differences last Sunday and
gathered for a time of worship together in Morley Park in the
annual “United” worship service. At least 11 churches participated in the event.
A praise band made up of several churches led the worship
time with uplifting songs, and several pastors gave inspiring
messages about God’s love for us all, and our need to reach out
and show Christ’s to love our community. The service ended
with a time of people praying together for our nation and community.
“I thought it went great,” said Craig Carter, pastor at North
Kent Community Church, and chair of the Cedar Springs Area
Ministerial Association. “I heard a lot of good feedback. People were encouraged and said thanks for inspiring for them.”
He said that there were also some people that had never attended before and told him they were glad they came.
Carter said he really liked the time of prayer. “People of various ages were praying with and for each other and the community. That was a nice touch for the time we are in right now. “
The offering that was taken will help offset some of the costs
of the event, and some of the money was also contributed to a
memorial in memory of Wyatt Phillips.
After the event, attendees were welcomed to stay and take
part in a free hot dog lunch.

Work started on new Solon hall
By Judy Reed
Five months from now, Solon Township residents
will have a new township hall. Site work began this
week at 15185 Algoma.
The new township hall will be approximately
6,200 square feet, with a large community room
that will hold 125 people. According to Supervisor
Bob Ellick, the cost of the project is estimated to be
about $784,000. The township saved up the bulk
of the money, then borrowed $200,000 toward the
project.
The township offices, currently located on 19
Mile, just west off Algoma, will move to the new
building, which is due to be completed January 13.
Solon bought the 19-acre horse farm two years
ago in a tax foreclosure sale for $28,378.

some written by his
father, Scott. He was
well loved by fellow
students, and will be

Wyatt’s
memorial service was held
Monday, August 27,
at Cedar Springs High

When you go home at the end of a long day, who is
waiting at the door to greet you? If you own a dog or cat,
chances are they show you just how happy they are to see
you. Why not show them a little love back with a visit to
Tail Waggers Dog Grooming?
Tail Waggers, owned by Donna Cotten and her daughter,
Fallon Cotten, just opened up at 4757 14 Mile Road, across
the street from NorthStar Cinema. The two women, who

loves animals,” explained Donna, “and it’s a step into her
animal enforcement (rescue) career. She can earn money
while going to school.”
The shop offers dog and cat grooming, including bathing, brushing, blow drying, clipping nails, trimming around
face, feet and bottom, and more. There are two packages to
choose from. They also do $5 walk-in nail trims.

Jacquie Troupe wrote us
this week to let us know how
grateful she is that her family
is able to use Skinner Field,
next to Morley Park, on Cedar St.
“Skinner Field is a wonderful addition to our community! In a time where everything has a price, finding a
physical outlet for your family can be expensive. My kids

She noted that they are also

“The Festival volunteers
need to focus on this year’s
Festival, there are only 44 days
remaining”, a (RFF) board
member commented. The City
agrees.
In fact, the Red Flannel Festival was never in question
– this October you can bring
your family to Cedar Springs
and expect a parade, a queen,
great food, and bed races! You
will see “red flannels” all over
the city streets and the citizens
can celebrate the logging tradition and underwear as it has for
over 70 years.
Yes, issues remain and will
always need to be discussed.
No one has an unlimited budget
and both have to work together
to ensure the Red Flannel Festival continues for another 70
years. Steve has put into focus
the necessity of working issues
out before they go to this public space on Facebook. We are
not citizens of the Middle East
trying to force a regime change
toward democracy. We have a
democracy and if citizens have
an issue with how the elected
officials have handled public
money then there are vehicles
to have questions addressed.
Namely, talk to Charlie Watson
(616-437-9839) or Christine
Fahl (616-262-8693) or stop
by City Hall anytime. Similarly, if citizens don’t like how the
volunteer Festival Board has
handled the trademark issue,
stop by the office at 21 Maple
in Cedar Springs or give them
a call (616-696-2662) - they’re
always looking for volunteers,
too! My experience is that both
groups have hard working people dedicated to the Red Flannel Festival. Yet, actually talking and listening to someone is
a more cumbersome vehicle to
express citizen concern. People
would actually have to pick up
the phone or go to a meeting
and listen to the facts in their
entirety. It takes about seven
seconds to lob a bomb online
– but what has that done for the
people of Cedar Springs?
In fact, both the City and the
Festival Board are working
The price here in Cedar Springs was $4.06 at press time.
Gas prices rose to over $4 Tuesday, and are expected to
stay high through the weekend.
“I expect stations to have increased prices as much as 1035 cents per gallon by the conclusion of the weekend,” said
Patrick DeHaan, GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst.
DeHaan warns that Tropical Storm Isaac, as well as
murky regional refining issues, boosted wholesale gasoline
prices to their highest level so far this year, rising 7cents
per gallon higher than their previous peak back in March.
Wholesale gasoline prices, which is the price stations pay
for new shipments of gasoline, rose 35cents per gallon
Monday, the largest one day increase in a year. While this
situation is a significant pinch for motorists, DeHaan says
it is temporary.
“I expect the situation to slowly resolve itself over the
next few weeks, but as gasoline prices tend to fall slowly,
motorists may not have a sense of real relief until late September,” DeHaan said.

Three teens injured in head-on accident
with tree
Three teen-aged girls
on a joyride were injured
Tuesday morning in Nelson
Township, when the driver
lost control of the vehicle
they were in and hit a tree
head-on. The accident occurred just one day after
students, friends and family
buried fellow student Wyatt
Phillips, also a victim of an
auto accident.
According to Sheriff
Deputies Jason VanDyke
and Brad Mercer, Kaitlyn
Twork, 17, an unlicensed
driver, took the family’s
Chevrolet 4x4 for a spin
with two of her friends, Fawna Flanagin, 15, and Shelbi
Link, also 15. According to a witness, the truck was headed
eastbound on 16 Mile and stopped at the stop sign at Shaner. The driver then gunned it across the intersection and
continued east on 16 Mile (which is gravel) at a high rate
speed. The truck traveled
a short distance before
veering off the left side
of the road and hitting a
tree head on.
“It’s a good thing they
weren’t going any faster
than they were,” said
VanDyke. “But they
were going fast enough
to drive the engine compartment up into the
dashboard.”
The three girls were
all seatbelted, and suffered minor cuts and
contusions, according
to police, but were quite
emotional and upset at
the scene. All three were
sent to the hospital with
non-life-threatening injuries.
Deputy VanDyke said Twork would be cited with careless
driving and driving without a license.
The Cedar Springs Fire Department and Rockford Ambulance assisted at the scene.
Man arrested for Police seek armed
robber
larceny
Dennis Napoleon Jordan, 35,
of Cedar Springs, was arrested
August 15 on two felony charges
for Larceny in a Building that occurred on July 29 and August 3.
According to Cedar Springs
Dennis Jordan
Police Chief Roger Parent, one
case involved Jordan knocking
at a resident’s door on N. Grant Street around 10:30 p.m.
asking to use the phone. The couple at the home allowed
him inside and, after using the phone, he asked to use the
restroom. He continued talking to the couple but before
leaving asked for a tissue. It was then that the 49-year-old
female victim noticed that her small wallet/purse was missing from the counter.
Parent said that the victim confronted Dennis and at first
he denied taking it and pulled out a long propane lighter
from under his shirt. When he was threatened that they
would call the police, he took the wallet from under his
shirt and placed it back on the counter. He then left in a
hurry, walking down the street.
“I cannot stress enough that the police should be called
when a stranger is knocking at the door late at night. If the
person leaves before we arrive, call back and give the dispatcher a description of the person by age, size and clothing
worn,” said Parent.
The second case against Dennis Jordan involved the theft
of a mountain bike at a home on E. Ash Street.
“This person has been a person of interest on a number
of police investigations by the Kent County Sheriff Department and the Cedar Springs Police Department,” said Chief
Parent. “Our investigations had sufficient evidence to have
the prosecutor issue felony warrants for his arrest. His parole agent also approved a parole detainer if we could find
him.”
Larceny- continues on page 6
The Cedar Springs Police Department is investigating an
armed robbery that took place Monday at an apartment on
S. 7th Street.
According to Cedar Springs Police Chief Roger Parent,
the occupants of the apartment were still up when a person knocked at their door Monday, August 27 at 2 a.m. and
asked to use the phone. As one person turned to go get a
cell phone, the person at the door came inside and closed
the door. At some point this person grabbed one of the men
inside the apartment, placed a sharp item to his back and
demanded money. The suspect was given an undisclosed
amount of cash. He then took their cell phones before fleeing the apartment.
The suspect was described as a white male around 30
years of age, with his left arm fully covered with tattoos (a
sleeve). This tattoo had black and gray flames. The victims
also said his front teeth were rotted or in bad condition.
Responding officers requested a K-9 unit but none were
available. We continue to work this investigation and would
like anyone having information to help identify the suspect
to call the Cedar Springs Police Department at 696-1311 or
Silent Observer at 616-774-2345 or “Text a Tip.”
Chief Parent said they don’t think this was a random robbery. “The victims had recently sold a vehicle and we feel
the suspect may have been informed about this address as
a place to get some money from,” he explained. “Because
we cannot be sure, we continue to advise citizens to call
the police when they see something suspicious or have an
unknown person knocking at the door during the nighttime
hours.”
Parent also said they continue to take reports of property
being stolen from vehicles left unlocked. “Do not leave
valuables inside a parked vehicle, and it’s always best to
lock the doors,” he said.

PICKING UP THE PIECES
Sometimes life has a way of taking our breath away and it hurts so bad, we’re
sure there must be blisters on our hearts. These last few weeks have been extremely hard on our community, with tragedy affecting so many of our young
people. Sometimes it seems like more than one can bear.
We cry out to God and ask WHY Lord? Why is this happening? When will the
hurting stop? Please stop the pain.
The good news is that God knows how bad things are, but He promises they
won’t stay that way. Soon we’ll trade all this suffering for something much better.
In Isa. 41:10 (NIV), God promises us that He Himself will be right there with us
and will not leave us to face tragedy alone. He said, “Don’t be afraid, for I am
with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and
help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand!” God never said life
wouldn’t be hard but the promise is that we would be held by Him when it is.
One thing that I have noticed that has been a beautiful thing, is witnessing the
community coming together in a time of great tragedy. God tells us to mourn with
those who mourn. I see countless people coming to the aid of those hurting, wanting to help in any way possible. Prayers are actually reaching all around the world
as word spreads of the need. Isa. 61:1-3 expresses beautifully how the Spirit of
God is sent to comfort the brokenhearted and that He also will make something
beautiful out of the ashes and broken pieces. It reminds me of a beautiful piece
of mosaic art.
The mosaic is made from broken pieces of this and that, some leftovers and
other damaged pieces. At first glance, those broken pieces don’t seem to be related to each other. The sharp edges had the ability to cut and damage. But when
the pieces were placed together and the light shines, the broken pieces are transformed into something beautiful.
As we look over the course of our lives, often broken pieces seem to stick out.
Many of those pieces have sharp edges: difficult memories that continue to jag
and cut into our hearts. Other pieces have been rubbed smooth and shiny; we
recognize them as things of beauty. Up close, we may not see the pattern. But,
when we look from the right distance, the pieces come together and, even though
it may be difficult to admit, something of beauty is created. Indeed, our lives are
mosaics: God takes our shattered pieces and creates something beautiful.
Perhaps as you look over the broken pieces of your life that are still sharp
enough to cut and wound your spirit, you will in time, be able to look back at
them and find that a beautiful mosaic is emerging.
When God answers our prayers we say, “Oh God is SO good”(as we should).
We must also remember that when God doesn’t answer exactly how we were
expecting, or how we wanted, that God is still just as good!

I took my sons to the park a few days ago to
enjoy a new playground installed by the city fathers, apparently with the help of a team of safety
experts and a host of litigation-preventing-attorneys. There was no dirt, mud, or gravel. Gone
was the sharp-edged chain link fence, traded in
for a short polymer-slotted wall. Even the equipment had changed. There were no monkey bars;
no metal slides; no rocket-shaped-climby-thing,
not even a seesaw.

There was one piece of missing playground
equipment that, for all my nostalgia, I’m glad
was removed: The merry-go-round, or as some
call them, the round-a-bout. I haven’t been on
one of these things since I was ten-years-old
and with good reason. The game we played was
simple. About a thousand pounds of elementaryaged children would climb aboard while someone’s older brother started spinning the thing
with the G-force of a fighter jet. This resulted
in half the kids immediately flying off or getting

Doug & Val Bickle has received Gleaner
Life Insurance Society’s Community
Service Recognition Award. This award
is presented to individuals who work at
the local or grass-roots level and live by
the true spirit of volunteerism, which is
the cornerstone of the fraternal benefit
system. Doug & Val Bickle were honored
by Gleaner’s Grand Arbor. The award
was presented on July 28, 2012 at Gary &
Rosemary Mills’ home. They were selected
because of their volunteer efforts with
“Meals on Wheels” and delivering food to
food pantries.
Congratulations Doug & Val Bickle!
As ye know how we exhorted
and comforted and charged
every one of you, as a father
doth his children.

Jobs for all
I know some ways we can improve the employment picture. On TV every day I see cartoon characters involved in
all kinds of entertaining activities. Every one of those little
cartoonies replaces a human. Out there, for every one of
them, some actor didn’t get a job because of a comic book
character.
Even more wasteful of jobs is the telephone system. I’m
talking not just the phone numbers answered by somebody
in the Philippines, but also companies with automated answering systems. After you drag their phone numbers and
their business hours out of their websites, you get a tinny
electronic voice saying, “All of our representatives are busy
with other callers. Your call will be answered in the order
received.”
The wait can be 30 minutes. It can be even longer! They’re
wasting our time for a few more bucks of profit! We could
cut the unemployment rate if they would just answer their
phones! (And we wouldn’t feel so grouchy once we finally
got a human being on the line.)
Marriage #1
Three guys are talking in the bar. Two of them remark
about the amount of control they have over their wives
while the third guy stays quiet.
After a while one of them says to the third, “Well, what
about you? What sort of control do you have over your
wife?”
“Well,” says the third guy, “I’ll tell you. Just the other
night my wife came to me on her hands and knees.”
The first two were amazed. “Gee, what happened then?”
they asked.
She said, “Get out from under the bed and fight like a
man!”
Marriage #2
Marty was in his usual place in the morning, sitting at
the table reading the paper after breakfast. He came across
an article about a beautiful actress who was about to marry
a football player known primarily for his dumb comments
and lack of common knowledge. He turned to his wife with
a puzzled look on his face. “I’ll never understand why the
biggest jerks get the most attractive wives.”
His wife replied, “Why, thank you, dear!”
Yup, it’s not for sissies
Old age is when you go to the doctor and realize you now
have to pay someone to look at you naked. Some things are
okay: the glass is still half full. But, of course, the bad news
is that it won’t be long before your teeth are floating in it.
Old age brings the wisdom that life throws you curves—
and that you may be sitting on your biggest ones. You become more reflective in old age. You start pondering the
big questions, such as what is life, why am I here, and how
much Healthy Choice ice cream can I eat before it’s no longer a healthy choice?
In old age, you start to repeat yourself. In old age you
start to repeat yourself.

Amazing community gatherings
Our community recently received encouragement, inspiration, and acts of love while facing some serious challenges and
saddened hearts. Some awesome people stepped up to remind
us that we are surrounded by some of the most wonderful,
united, and compassionate human beings found on earth.
In the last week, we’ve had a peaceful compromise on use
of the Red Flannel logo, gathered at Morley Park in a united
celebration of faith, and celebrated the life of Wyatt Phillips.
In my 45 years in this community, these few days have been
the most amazing community gatherings of God’s faithful servants. It has been overwhelming and almost too much for me
to absorb in a short period. We are fortunate to have some of
the best Christian and educational leaders and followers living
here among us.
On Sunday, I heard several profound messages and challenges at the United worship service. The pastors, the music
ministry, and the members of various churches who provided
us with lunch, showed us the message of God’s true love for
us. People of all ages and faiths gathered, free of traditional
symbols from their particular denomination, yet sharing in

Hospital regulations
Hospital regulations require a wheelchair for patients
being discharged. However, while working as a student
nurse, I found one elderly gentleman—already dressed
and sitting on the bed with a suitcase at his feet—who
insisted he didn’t need my help to leave the hospital.
After a chat about rules being rules, he reluctantly let
me wheel him to the elevator. On the way down I asked
him if his wife was meeting him.
“I don’t know,” he said. “She’s still upstairs in the
bathroom changing out of her hospital gown.”

of that “energy” from the sideline and dig in to make it better
– just like Steve did, saying, “After reflecting on the meetings
with the City and Festival Board I’m now more hopeful that
we can begin to heal and work toward a great Red Flannel
Festival.”
While both the City Council and Festival Board were willing to participate in a Town Hall meeting this Friday, the logistics of facilitating such a meeting was proving too complex
to figure out in this short time. Steve has done what a Town
Hall was intended to do; get the two sides back on track and
working together to have a great Festival. There won’t be a
Town Hall meeting this Friday. Instead let’s all go to the Football game and get ready for the 73rd Red Flannel Festival this

Back to school tips to get Surprise Lunch Box Treats
your kids to read more
(StatePoint) The
start of a new school
year is a great time
to emphasize the
importance of reading at home. Solid
readers
perform
better in school and
in the workplace,
have a healthy selfimage, and become
lifelong learners.
Research shows
a whopping 45
percent of children
ages 3 to 5 are not
read to daily, and
this lack of literature can take a
negative toll on school performance. Luckily, there are
many things parents can do to
make kids passionate readers.
“Reading stimulates children’s imagination and expands their understanding of
the world,” says actress Kate
Beckinsale, who is teaming
with “The Nestlé Share the
Joy of Reading Program” to
raise awareness about the importance of children’s literacy
and support the work of Reading Is Fundamental (RIF), the
largest children’s literacy non-
profit in the United States.
If you’re looking to make
reading a bigger part of your
children’s lives this school
year, here are some great tips
to get them motivated:
• Start young. Reading

(Family Features) Summer
break vanished in the blink of
an eye, like it seems to every
year, and it’s school time again.
Although the kids may really
be ready to return to a regular
routine, chances are you might
sense a bit of reluctance to leave
the ease of summer behind.
So sweeten the trip back to school with a special lunchbox treat.
Making lunch time something your kids look
forward to is something you can do every day
of the school year. You can bet they won’t be
swapping lunches when theirs is so special every day!
Try some of these tips that make the lunch
break special:
Pack their favorite sandwich filling—if they
love PBJ or cheese everyday, that’s okay!—but
cut sandwiches in halves or quarters, or use a
cookie cutter for fun shapes.
Use small self-sealing bags to pack bite-size
servings of fruits and vegetables, such as baby
carrots, cherry tomatoes, grapes and orange
segments.
Make a snack mix of dried cereal, raisins,
nuts and mini marshmallows.
Decorate the lunch bag with special stickers, or include a note with a special greeting for
lunchtime.
Make kitchen time with your kids so they can
share the fun in baking treats to tote to school or
enjoy for after school with their friends.
Wrap up a home-baked treat—cookies, bars,
muffins or these fun and fabulous Surprise
Prize Cupcakes.
These frosted cupcakes will be prized. Each
holds a surprise of chocolate chip cookie dough
baked inside chocolate cupcake batter, so each
bite is a delight. Since the recipe makes two
dozen, there are plenty to share and enjoy after
school, too.
When you’re planning special treats for the
lunch box, or want to bake with the kids after
school, take a sweet trip through the creative
ideas at www.VeryBestBaking.com.

aloud to children at an early age is the most effective way to
help them attain critical language and communication skills and
instill great habits.
• Take advantage of free online tools and resources that help
make reading an engaging, shared experience for parents and
kids. For example, RIF’s “Leading to Reading” website contains activities for children ages birth to 5. Visit www.rif.org/
kids/leadingtoreading for more information.
• Variety is the spice of life! Be sure your house contains plenty of books to choose from on a variety of topics.
• Launch a children’s book club with other parents. Take turns
hosting your children’s friends for snacks and a lively discussion on the book of the month.
• Kids love getting mail! Subscribe to children’s magazines
so they’ll have something fun and beneficial to look forward to
each month.
• Make sure children have their very own library cards and
become frequent patrons at your local library.
• Be it the morning paper or your favorite novel, set a great
example by making reading a daily habit for yourself.
• Many literacy programs supporting underserved communities are currently experiencing federal funding cutbacks, but
everyone deserves a chance to read. Invest in the lives of other
children who might not have the same opportunities as your
kids. For example, right now, every time you enter a promotion code found inside specially marked packages of Nestlé and

Almost a quarter of public school fourth graders score below even the most basic levels on reading exams, according to
National Assessment of Educational Progress. Don’t let your
children fall behind. Take steps this school year to help your
children and others to hone this basic tool for success.
The Michigan Department of Education requires all schools to publish an annual report to inform
the residents about the status of their schools. This report provides detailed information on student
assessment results, Adequate Yearly Progress results, teacher qualification information, and the state
results for the National Assessment of Educational Progress. You can view Cedar Springs Public
Schools Annual Education Report by visiting our website at www.csredhawks.org or you may review a copy in the building offices.
Our school district has conducted an extensive asbestos survey of all of our buildings. Based on the
findings of these inspections, a comprehensive management plan was drafted. This plan details the
response actions that the district will be taking regarding asbestos containing materials found in our
buildings. This plan is available for inspection at our office without cost or restriction during normal
business hours. If you desire to have a personal copy, please notify the main administrative office and
it will be supplied to you within five (5) working days at a cost of 30 cents per page.
We have endeavored to make our schools a safe place in which students can learn. Our procedures
for dealing with this problem reflect that concern. Please let us know if we can answer any questions.

sucked beneath the thing, breaking arms and noses.
Those who remained stuck to the handlebars usually began
to spew their lunches like shaken cola cans, and the one who
didn’t get sick, suffer a compound fracture, or could walk the
straightest line when the spinning stopped was naturally the
winner.
The truth is no one ever wins on the round-a-bout. The
round-a-bout I am speaking of is the always spinning cycle
of human anger. The eye-for-an-eye, tit-for-tat rotation that
leaves everyone flattened on the ground, barely holding on, or
staggering about, dazed and broken. Is there a way to stay safe
and “win” this dangerous game?
Jesus says there is: Don’t play the game at all. He said, “If
you remember that someone has something against you, go
settle your differences quickly.” The solution, according to Jesus, was not to assault your enemies with a preemptive strike
or to dig in further by strengthening your grip on the rails. The
solution is early intervention by defusing anger and retaliation
before it even gets started.
You see, before the first blow is ever struck, before a trigger
is ever pulled, or before the revenge scheme is ever hatched,
emotions have already been weaponized and the round-a-bout
is already on its not-so-merry-go-round way. Jesus understood
that the only way to stop accelerating anger was to graciously
neutralize it as soon as possible. That’s the only real way to
stay in the game.

Community
bigger picture of following, serving, and celebrating Jesus
Christ. Strangers held hands to pray for peace, guidance, and love
within our community and the world as a whole.
On Monday, I walked away from the funeral service feeling
blessed to have known Wyatt and to have the Phillips family living within our community. The messages of this celebration were
life-changing experiences. Zack Phillips challenged us to live with
passion, and at the close of each day to ask ourselves if we had
followed our passion and lived it to the fullest. The closing song,
“Surrender,” challenged us to surrender our lives to God and reminded us we are not in charge, but God is, with the perfect plan
for each of us.
Celebrations in both the park and the auditorium were filled
with family, friends, and neighbors. It was a united display of this
community’s concern and love for each other. God has placed the
perfect people in our lives here in Cedar Springs. I am thankful
to our Lord and Savior for placing such awesome people in our
community. Thank you to those of you who are following your
passion and surrendering your lives as servants to God, and who
give so much only because you want to. You are making a positive
difference.

Red Hawk Soccer has
winning week
The Cedar Springs Boys Varsity Soccer team
started their season with three big wins last week.
On August 21, the Red Hawks traveled to Walker to
take on the Kenowa Hills Knights. The Red Hawks’
offensive line attacked the ball and put an immense
amount of pressure on the Knights’ defensive line.
During the first half, Robert Klein (32:00), Dontae
Ensley (16:55), Luke Dault (11:19) and Jon Shaw
(7:39) were able to put points on the scoreboard
to give the Red Hawks a 4 to 0 advantage at the
half. The Hawks came out just as strong during the
second half, with Szirovecz (39:34) & (25:44) and
Klein (8:14) & (4:26) each knocking in additional goals. At the final buzzer, the Red Hawks had
crushed the Kenowa Hills Knights 8 to 1.
On August 23, the Grant Tigers came to Red
Hawk Stadium for the boys’ second match of the
week. The Red Hawks played the game in honor
of Wyatt Phillips, fellow teammate, who had lost
his life in a horrible car accident that very day. The

Red Hawks crush Chips in season kickoff
The Cedar Springs
freshmen boys got
their season off to a
great start last week,
when they took on
Chippewa Hills and
beat them on their
home turf.
The tone was set
early with Keenan
Gosselin returning
the opening kickoff
70 yards for a touchdown. After showing a strong defensive presence, especially for game one
of their high school careers, Cedar got the ball back, and
pounded the ball down the field for another score. Going
into half time, the game was still within reach for either
team, but in the second half Cedar’s defense proved to be
too much for Chippewa Hills. The Red Hawks worked on
their ground game and clock management, and moved the
ball up and down the field. The Red Hawks took home the
win, 42-22.
Chippewa Hills filled a hole in the Red Hawks schedule,
since Tri County didn’t have a freshmen team, and Coach
Kirk Covey was glad to get the boys out on the field. “With
two-a-days behind us, it was refreshing for everyone to get
the season started, and start playing against other teams,
besides ourselves.”
After a short week of practice, the Freshmen hosted
Sparta Wednesday night at at Red Hawk Stadium. Check

PUBLIC NOTICE
PUBLIC NOTICE is hereby given that on
September 19, 2012 at 7 p.m. the Planning
Commission of the Township of Nelson, Kent
County, Michigan, will hold a public hearing at the
Nelson Township Hall, 2 Maple St., Sand Lake,
Michigan, on proposed ordinances to amend the
Zoning Ordinance of the Township of Nelson. The
principal provisions of the proposed amending
ordinances can be summarized as follows:
1. PUD Home Occupations
The first ordinance would amend Section 12.5
of the Zoning Ordinance pertaining to permitted
uses in the OS-PUD Open Space Planned Unit
Development District. The amending ordinance
would add home occupations permitted by right
or by special use in the residential districts to the
uses permitted in the OS-PUD District.
2. Lot Width
The second ordinance would amend Chapter 2
and Chapter 3 of the Township Zoning Ordinance
by amending the definition of lot width and the
requirements concerning lot width to require
that all new lots maintain a width not less than
the minimum lot width required for the zoning
district in which it is located throughout the
depth of the lot. In addition, the ordinance would
amend Section 16.4 of the Ordinance regulating
nonconforming lots of record by removing the
requirement that the lot be undeveloped, as well
as other minor changes regarding nonconforming
lots of record.
3. Accessory Buildings
The third ordinance would amend Chapter 3
of the Township Zoning Ordinance regulating
accessory buildings by specifically permitting
multiple accessory buildings provided the total
floor area of the buildings does not exceed
three percent (3%) of the land area up to certain
maximums. The amendments would also prohibit
mobile homes and similar items from being
used as accessory buildings. In addition, the
Ordinance would amend Subchapter 7A of the
Zoning Ordinance, by clarifying that non-riparian
lots in the Pine Lake Residential District are
permitted to have accessory buildings subject
to the provisions governing accessory buildings
in Chapter 3, but such buildings would not be
subject to the additional regulations governing
accessory buildings on riparian lots in the Pine
Lake Residential District.
The text of each of the proposed amending
ordinances is on file and may be examined at
the offices of the Nelson Township Clerk, 2 Maple
St., Sand Lake, Michigan, during Township office
hours. All interested persons may attend the
public hearing and comment on the proposed
amendments. Written comments concerning the
amendments may be submitted to the Township
office, at the above-stated address, up to the time
of the public hearing.
