“When will they be here?” “Are they really coming or did they change their mind?” “Will it be the big size or like the one in Cedar?” “It’s not just the gas station right? There will to be a store and all, right?” These comments and many more have made the regional rounds since the announcement last year that Meijer was indeed coming to Fremont. After construction began this past spring with an eye to a projected April opening the coming of Meijer has been a hot topic. This has been particularly true on social media where rumors not merely bordering on bizarre but more like moving past the border and setting up residence in bizarre seem to abound. At N3 we recognize the anticipation awaiting the arrival of the West Michigan retail giant. There are those of us at N3WH who recall the frenzy accompanying the opening of their Cascade store. One article in the local paper portrayed a group of women dressed to the nines and having a celebratory champagne toast (or two) before heading out to the grand opening extravaganza that followed. Committed to an ongoing effort toward turning ridiculous rumors aside, the crack news team of N3 found themselves the fortunate beneficiary of a photo op to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt the impending arrival of Meijer. We witnessed what might be the first of the wave of delivery trucks destined to unload their goods off Green street. And funny thing is, they must have made a wrong turn somewhere because it appeared they got stuck in last Thursday’s parade.

 Newaygo High School is proud to present the 2018 Homecoming Court. Pictured left to right: Freshmen representatives Emmerson Goodin and Gregory Hearth, Sophomore representatives Bradley Holmes and Haley Stefans, Junior representatives Quinn Hefferan-Nordlund and Carson Bush, and Senior representatives Zachary Rodriguez, Shea Russell, Breanna Marvin, Kade Bhuyan, Breyana Spencer and Dylan Moore.
The Homecoming Game will be held on October 5, 2018 with a 7:30 PM kickoff.  The Annual Harvest Festival Parade, perhaps the preeminent of parading endeavors in our region of the Mitten, once again did not disappoint. Folks lined up early to get a prime spot along the downtown route and young ones came prepared with their bags at bay to await the time honored ritual known as the tossing of the candy. There was a festive atmosphere in the air, and though the weather seemed summerlike the theme of the evening was autumn and the celebration of the harvest. Farm equipment from antique tractors to gigantic harvesters made their way down the avenue as a fitting representation of the extensive and vital agricultural community that thrives here. The creative floats from businesses as well as the high school homecoming varieties, the band, the various groups represented by those who walked with shirts and banners in support of their organization or cause, dancers, soccer players, footballers and cheerleaders of all ages, and that amazing stilt walker who after cruising through the entire route in those high steppers was witnessed striding back with stilts still intact all added to a memorable march Good weather, good times, good people. And from what I could gather from the reaction of Clara Sweers and Nora Howard a pair of pretty precocious 3 year olds? Good candy.  Really? Mattresses? Cans of paint and other solvents? Hunks of insulation? Is there someone out there who took a look at this stuff and said “I bet this can be recycled.” Come on folks we really, really have to do better when it comes to maintaining this invaluable service to our community. Good intentions mean nothing if you are uneducated about just what can be recycled and what cannot. It’s not that hard to learn just check out the guide available at the bottom of this article courtesy of the folks at Cart Right Recycling and then toss in a little common sense. For instance if the styrofoam box (Brooks site only) is full it is just as not ok to cram stuff alongside of it as it would be to tuck trash alongside your under-the-sink wastebasket when its full. If it is full it will be emptied soon so make plans to return instead of dumping it off and making it someone else’s problem. Recycling is an expensive effort and tossing in inappropriate stuff just compounds the expense and could lead to an end to the service and believe me having an awareness of how much plastic, cardboard, styrofoam, glass etc. is leaving our county each week there is no way you want to see it end up in a landfill or along the side of the road, or as in the case with tires and tvs in our precious national forest lands. We all agree recycling is necessary and needed so we need to do better. Messy unwashed stuff can render a load unusable. Items like pool covers, mattresses toilets, hoses, hunks of wood and more strange crap than you can possibly imagine will ultimately force an ending to the whole service. If you’re not sure it probably doesn’t recycle but Check The Guide for pity’s sake folks. We need to do better.

FREMONT, Mich. (Sept. 19, 2018) – Spectrum Health Gerber Memorial will replace the parking lot outside the Multispecialty Clinic located at 230 West Oak, just south of the main hospital building in Fremont, with work starting Thursday night and ending early Monday, Sept. 24. “We look forward to replacing the parking lot and improving our facilities for our patients and visitors, especially when the work also improves safety for the people we serve,” said Brian Poll, Gerber Memorial facilities manager. “We wanted to be sure we did this work with minimal disruption to our staff and our patients, and we appreciate everyone’s cooperation and patience.” The work will start with replacement of the parking lot surface at the eastern-most one third of the lot outside MSC, moving on to the second third of the lot, and finishing with the final third, closest to the MSC building. The entire surface is expected to be covered in asphalt Sunday night, with the goal of completing the work on Monday. The work is generally dependent on the weather, Poll said. Gerber Memorial also plans to replace the parking lot outside the entrance to the Cancer Center and the Specialist Clinic, on the south side of the Multispecialty Clinic building. That work is slated for the following weekend, starting on Thursday, Sept. 27, and ending Sunday, Sept. 30, depending on weather.  September 25 is National Voter Registration Day 2018

LANSING– Health officials from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) and Allegan County Health Department have confirmed an infection of Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) in an Allegan County resident. The individual was hospitalized in late August with a neurologic illness. EEE is one of the most dangerous mosquito-borne diseases in the U.S., with a 33 percent fatality rate. The disease can often leave survivors with lasting brain damage. The southwestern region of the state has experienced outbreaks of this mosquito-borne disease in people and horses in the past, with the most recent outbreaks occurring in the early 1980s, mid-1990s and 2010. This is the first human case reported in Michigan since 2016, when three people were infected. Mosquito-borne illness will continue to be a risk in Michigan until late fall when nighttime temperatures consistently fall below freezing. Michigan residents are reminded to protect themselves against mosquito bites. “There is still plenty of mosquito season left in Michigan,” said Dr. Eden Wells, MDHHS chief medical executive. “When outdoors, Michigan residents are urged to take precautions to protect themselves and their families from mosquito bites including using mosquito repellent and wearing long pants and long sleeves.” Horse owners should note that EEE can also cause neurologic illness in horses. However, vaccination can protect horses from infection with EEE. EEE is a virus of birds that is spread by mosquitoes near swamps and bogs. Human cases are rare, with only a few cases reported each year in the U.S. People who become ill with EEE may experience fever, headache, chills and nausea. In some cases, symptoms may progress to inflammation of the brain, signaled by disorientation, seizures and coma. Physicians treating patients with these symptoms should consider testing for EEE and other mosquito-borne viruses and should report suspected cases to their local health department. As a reminder, West Nile virus is continuing to cause illness in people across the state, with a total of 44 cases and two fatalities reported to date. WNV has also been identified in 149 mosquito pools, 115 birds and one horse throughout the state. Steps people should take to protect themselves include:

Nestlé today announced that it agreed to sell the Gerber Life Insurance Company ("Gerber Life"), to Western & Southern Financial Group for USD 1.55 billion in cash.

Max Morrison, a 2009 Fremont High School grad and 2013 Alma College grad, has embarked on an epic bicycle ride through the North and West of Australia. Living in Australia since December 2017, on a work/travel visa, he has been working on farms in the states of Victoria and New South Wales in the South and East of the country. In July he purchased a bike and rode a bit over 1100 kilometers from Sydney, north to Brisbane on his first solo, long distance trip. A lifetime lover of nature and the environment, Max decided to head to the Northern Territory of Australia and embark on a 4000+ kilometer bike ride to raise money for three environmental groups – The West Michigan Environmental Action Council in Kent County, The Ecology Center of Ann Arbor, and the World Wildlife Fund of Australia. He set off on August 16th and will be bicycling for some 50 or 60 days traveling from Darwin to Perth, pitching his tent where he can along the route and finding food, water, and supplies along the long, hot journey. He is bicycling through some incredible country – from lush swampy areas with crocodiles and swarms of mosquitoes to the dusty, dry outback where he’s likely to see more kangaroos than human along the way. Max has created a GoFundMe page for donations to help him reach his goal of $5000 to support this effort and give monies to the three chosen non-profits. Alternately for those who do not use online donation sites, checks can be made in his name and sent to his parents, John and Kathy Morrison 6128 S Maple Island Rd Fremont, MI 49412. He also has started a blog to journal his experiences and keep us up to date. (Links are below) For those of you who know Max, he has a huge heart and courageous spirit. When you see a bike go by in the next few months, keep Max’s journey in mind and give him a thumbs up. To Max, best of luck on this colossal undertaking to do good in the world and as the Aussies say, “Good on you, mate!”! https://www.gofundme.com/ride-for-nature039s-health https://cyclingforearthshealth.wordpress.com/2018/08/18/day-2-3-26km-85km-into-kakadu-nat-park/  Photos by Dale Twing

From our friends at Family of God Church in Newaygo:
Family of God Community Church in Newaygo is pleased to introduce our new pastor, the Reverend Chelsea Reynhout. Chelsea began her undergraduate degree at Central Michigan University in 2005 finishing at Kuyper College in Grand Rapids with a double major in Bible & Theology and Music & Worship in 2012. Chelsea and her husband Eric married in 2014 and moved to Holland, Michigan where they both served area churches as music and worship directors. While in Holland, Chelsea answered God’s call to further her education at Western Theological Seminary graduating with a Master of Divinity degree which she calls one of her greatest accomplishments. Chelsea was then ordained as Minister of Word and Sacrament by the Reformed Church in America. Another blessing was soon on its way; Chelsea and Eric welcomed their first child, Maggie Mae, in June of this year. They are head-over-heels for their little girl, and are falling in love with Newaygo County and its people more every day.

WHITE CLOUD- The White Cloud Rotary Club recently recognized the Club’s board members for 2017/2018; Bruce Rose, President-Elect, Betty Carpenter, Secretary, Julia Bird, Treasurer, and Stuart Sanders-President.
Julia Bird presented the Rotary President’s Plaque to Stuart Sanders the Club’s outgoing President. Julia thanked Stuart for his leadership and for serving as Club President during a very challenging time. An unfortunate fire that destroyed their meeting location necessitated finding temporary meeting sites for the Club numerous times during the year. Stu also restored the Club’s historic Rotary bell, which was bent and tarnished in the fire. White Cloud Rotary is a volunteer organization based on the principle of ‘Service Above Self’ and the advancement of high ethical standards, goodwill and civic responsibility. The Club meets every Wednesday at 11:45 a.m. at The Eagles conference room in White Cloud.  LANSING.-The Labor Day holiday weekend is one of the deadliest travel periods of the year. The Michigan State Police (MSP) is reminding motorists to be responsible and make safe driving decisions.
MSP troopers will join their counterparts from across the country in the international traffic safety initiative, Operation C.A.R.E. (Crash Awareness and Reduction Efforts). In conjunction with Operation C.A.R.E., troopers across the state, along with approximately 150 other law enforcement agencies in Michigan, will be participating in the national safety campaign ‘Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.’ “Driving drunk or drugged is unacceptable,” said Col. Kriste Kibbey Etue, director of the MSP. “Crashes involving alcohol and/or drugs can be prevented. Troopers will be on patrol and watching. Wear a seatbelt and put your phone down. Let’s all do our part to make sure everyone on the road has a safe holiday weekend.” The official Labor Day weekend begins at 12:01 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 31, and ends at 11:59 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 3. Last year, 10 fatal traffic crashes resulted in 15 deaths during the Labor Day holiday weekend. The MSP is reminding motorists that the Mackinac Bridge will be closed again to vehicular traffic starting at 6:30 a.m. and lasting until noon on Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 3. As a result, northbound I-75 at exit 337 on the south end of the bridge and southbound US-2 and I-75 at exit 344 in the Upper Peninsula will close during that time as well. Troopers will be at various traffic points to monitor and assist motorists as much as possible.  Ballet To Grace The Stage In Newaygo By Alexis Mercer Studio 37 of Newaygo will be offering ballet and contemporary dance as part of its art center. Olga Smelik is a classically trained instructor who hopes to bring the beauty and elegance of dance to the Newaygo community. A wide variety of class times and levels are being offered beginning in September. A schedule of all classes is listed below. Near North Now had the pleasure of speaking with Ms. Smelik about the adventure of beginning dance classes in Newaygo. Her love and knowledge of the art form was very apparent throughout the conversation. N3: What are you hoping your students will learn from your classes? Smelik: I hope to instill the love of Ballet in my students. I hope to give them valuable lessons of hard work, preserverance and respect and appreciation for the arts. I hope they will find joy in their everyday accomplishments as they feel themselves progressing step by step. I would love for them to be able to carry that appreciation for ballet throughout their lives and to pass it on to their own children someday. N3: Why did you choose Newaygo for your ballet school? Smelik: I was approached by Studio 37 owner Gabe Schillman to develop a ballet program as a part of his growing arts and culture center. The fact that is is in Newago was not specifically planned, I just saw it as an opportunity to bring fine art of ballet here as there seems to be quite a growth of all things culture in the recent years. N3: For how long have you been teaching ballet? Smelik: I have been teaching ballet for over 20 years starting at the age of 22 . I have retired from dancing myself at 30 years old and ever since then was focusing solely on teaching. N3: What is your favorite part of teaching this fine art? Smelik: My favorite part of teaching ballet is to see my students progress further than they ever thought themselves was possible and see them accomplish goals and being able to do things they thought they never would. I love to see fruits of their hard work coming to surface. In addition to children's classes, Smelik hopes to include adults in her lessons as well. If you have an interest in learning the beauty of ballet, contact Smelik today! Two types of classes will be offered. Those for homeschool students during school hours and after school programming. The information for each is listed below.

AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM All students wishing to attend after school program (either full time or part time) will be required to take placement class (free of charge) to insure the most accurate placement for best learning environment.
