"A Legacy of Opportunity, An Opportunity for Accessibility"

The Dogwood Center Board of Directors have been working on an improvement plan to make the facility more easily accessible.  The goals of the plan are:

• Improved flow of traffic through the lots with added designated drop-off areas
• Safe movement of pedestrians from parking to buildings with added crosswalks to emphasize pathway and improve visibility and safety.

In 2015, memorial funds in honor of...

Marathon Miles: A Part-time Job

​

---

​Even at the time, I knew he was right. Adam is always supportive of me and my endeavors. And while I am quite sure he thinks I am nuts for wanting to train months upon end for a 26.2 mile race, it isn’t as if he doesn’t have his own athletic pursuits that require time and commitment. I knew he wasn’t so much commenting on the idea of the marathon as how I would fit it in to all the other things I enjoy and currently have going on in life...

Trail Adventure Part 6

After 1.5 miles, we both agreed this run was going great.  I stopped for a picture when we came upon a large oak tree with a weird growth facing the trail.  It resembled a face that reminded me of the tree Ents that lived in Fangorn Forest in J.R.R Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings trilogy.  Beyond our tree Ent, there was asmall section of large trees that created a canopy that trapped the air inside.  This dense...

A Trip To The  Museum 

I have lived in Newaygo County for 23 years and never once have I stopped to think about our history, so when I was given the opportunity to visit the Newaygo County Museum and Heritage  Center, I jumped at it.
I’m not gonna lie--I’m not big on history, and according to my grades in high school, history is not big on me. Heck, I didn’t even know we had a museum in Newaygo. I wasn’t sure what to expect...

Pandemonium

The Panhead was produced from 1948 until 1965 and it received its nickname because the rocker covers—essentially the top of the engine—resembled frying pans.  Harley fans have a habit of nicknaming the Motor Company’s engines, like the 1936 Knucklehead and the 1966 Shovelhead. More than one motorcycle journalist has referred to Harley’s current Milwaukee 8 engine design as the “Musclehead,” due to...
