Helping Hands is very pleasedto announce that they have se-cured a site to relocate its exist-ing food pantry operations withthe goal of constructing a new

more ef cient, client & volunteerfriendly facility. Pictured is thenew location which was formerly the Manor Motel south of the

VFW Hall in Howard City.Fred C. Plath, Treasurer of

Helping Hands said the site hassome very positive attributes in-cluding frontage on both FederalRoad and Henkel Road which willallow those using Helping Handsto access the facility from the front

while food deliveries and otheraccess will be able to be gainedfrom the rear of the facility. Thecurrent Helping Hands operationstores food on two separate lev-els and makes it dif cult to movefood up and down the stairs.

On Thursday July 8th, repre-

sentatives from Helping Hands,and the local ministerial associa-tion met to dedicate the new site

with prayer. The new vision forHelping Hands is beginning to

come to pass. The ministry out-reach is seeking a constructioncoordinator who would be willingto donate their expertise for thisproject. Helping Hands also con-tinues to seek a ministry servicescoordinator as it begins to expandits vision.

Helping Hands will now beentering a capital fundraisingcampaign in an effort to secureadequate funds to build the new facility. It is hoped that this pro-cess can be completed in 12-18months with the goal of beingoperational in a new facility by the end of 2011. Currently Help-ing Hands is serving approxi-mately 200 families each monthand greatly appreciates the faith-

ful support the community hasshown to it during its 20 year his-tory.

Helping Hands knows that it will take a signi cant amount of

funds to construct a new facil-ity and intends to use the pro-ceeds from the sale of its current

building on Main Street as partof the necessary funds. Anyone

who may have interest in acquir-ing this building after HelpingHands relocates should contactFred C. Plath at (231) 937-6758.The ministry outreach is cau-tiously optimistic that donationsfrom the community will assist

with the necessary funds requiredfor this project. Very prelimi-nary estimates put project costat $75,000-$100,000. For those

willing to support this project,donations, questions, or inquiriescan be made to PO Box 532, How-ard City, MI 49329.

Newaygo Brownie Girl ScoutTroop Honors Dolly PartonOn Friday, June 11, 2010, Newaygo Brownie Scout

Troop 20437 earned their Coat of Many Colors badge, inhonor of Dolly Parton. Troop Leader, Julie Osborn stat-ed, I think Dolly is a great inspiration for all girls. She isquite the success from a rags-to-riches story. Julie visit-ed the Smoky Mountains earlier this year and purchasedthe badges so her troop could do a project to earn them.They decided the best thing to do would be to donatea coat to NCCS for people who are in need of coats forthe winter. Julie says that the girls were told the story of Dollys Coat of Many Colors, and they were thrilled to dothis project to earn their badge. Julie intends to write aletter to Dolly Parton and send a picture of the girls sothat she can see how proud they were to earn this badge.The coats were delivered to NCCS on Thursday, July 8,2010. They were very pleased with the donation.

New York City Blues comes toLakeviews Music In The Park

Lakeviews Music in thePark concert series gets a badcase of the Blues Wednesday,July 21 when the dynamicblues duo from New York City,Mulebone makes their con-cert series debut. Mulebone iscomposed of two of New Yorks

nest musicians, Hugh Pool (

electric guitar, harmonica andlead vocal) and John Ragusa on( ute, cornet, penny whistle,and conch shell)

ABOUT MULEBONE:Mulebone is a partnership

comprised of multi-instrumen-talist, John Ragusa and rootsmusic specialist, Hugh Pool.The launching pad for theirmusical expression is tradition-al blues.

Together they have recordeda CD which spent 15 weeks inthe Top 100 Albums in Amer-ica. Along with playing liveand TV appearances, they won

blues artist of the year at radiostations from Seattle, Washing-ton to Red Bank, New Jersey.Any given week, you may ndthem playing clubs in NYC orentertaining at private partiesthrown by David Rockefeller,Bruce Wasserstein and list of other East Coast residents whoare enthusiastic about bring-ing these boys in for a party by road, sea or air.

In Mulebone, John plays,conch shell, Jews harp, cornet,all manner of utes, tin whistle,

and chimes in on the harmony vocals. He is member of BethNielsen Chapmans group as

well as his own John Ragusaout t, and plays regularly inconjunction with Deepak Cho-pras speaking engagements.

Amongst dozens of studio cred-

its are contemporary jazz greatsJoe Taylor, Jeremy Wall and

world music icon Tom Ze.Hugh plays guitars, harmon -

ica, boot board and sings. Hehas played his brand of blues inclubs and at festivals from Ja-karta, Indonesia to North Cape,Norway; From Vienna, Austriato Ottawa, Ontario and has

been critically lauded by TheNew York Times, New York Press, The Village Voice, Pitts-

bie Harry, and Marah to name

a couple.Together in Mulebone,

Hugh and John play slide gui -tar boogies, 1 chord trance riffsa la Howlin Wolf the up temporags of Reverend Gary Davisand country blues of all shapesand colors. Sometimes they play close to the source, almostas if tracing the image, and atother moments, they re-exam-ine the source, oat above it,take a new look as one under-standing their home from a dis-tant land.

Stanton- Two hundred thou-sand moms, babies and children lessthan 5 years of age currently receivenutritious foods from the Michigan

Women, Infants & Children (WIC)program; thats one out of every two babies born in Michigan. Lo-cally, that number equates to 2,090Montcalm County residents receiv-ing WIC bene ts through the Mid-Michigan District Health Depart -ment (MMDHD).

The Women, Infants & Childrenprogram is a federally funded sup-plemental nutrition program thathas been serving low and moder-ate income pregnant, breastfeedingand postpartum (the period follow -ing childbirth) women, infants andchildren up to age 5 with nutritionalrelated health problems since 1972.The program provides a combina-tion of nutrition education, supple-mental foods, breastfeeding promo-tion and support and referrals tohealth care services. Pregnant andpostpartum women and children(under age 5) receive food bene tsfor milk, cheese, eggs, cereals, pea-nut butter, dried beans or peas,

fruit or vegetable juices, fresh fruitsand vegetables, whole grain breadsand tortillas. If an infant isnt fully

breastfed, iron-forti ed infant for -mula is available for the rst yearof life as well. In addition, WIC alsoprovides participants with couponsto purchase locally grown fresh fruitsand vegetables at farmers marketsthrough the Project Fresh program.

There is no doubt that WIC hasa profound effect on families. Be-ing a single mother, I couldnt makeit without WIC, said one client. I

work full time and still have a hardtime making ends meet. WIC has

been a lifesaver.WIC has been very bene cial,

said another client. My children

and I would be in a very tough spot without it.

WIC has a proven track recordof demonstrating a positive effect onpregnancy outcomes, child growthand development. Research showsthat the earlier a pregnant womanreceives nutritional bene ts from

WIC, the more likely she is to seek prenatal care and deliver a normal

weight infant. For every dollar spent by this program, more than three

dollars in subsequent health carecosts are saved.Bene ts to children participating

in WIC include:Higher rates of immunizations

against childhood diseases.Better vocabularies and digit

memory scores among four and ve year olds in early childhood com-pared to children who did not par-ticipate in WIC.

Lower rate of anemia among chil-dren between the ages of 6 monthsto 5 years.

Signi cant improvement in chil -drens dietary intake of vitamins andnutrients.

Bene ts to Women and Infants

participating in WIC include:Signi cant increase in the num - ber of women receiving adequateprenatal care.

Dramatic decrease in the infantmortality among Medicaid bene -ciaries.

Improvement in weight gain anddietary intake in pregnant and post-partum women.

Decrease in low birth weight andpre-term births.

A family of four may earn$40,000 per year and qualify for

WIC. If you think you may qualify or have questions about the WICprogram, visit www.mmdhd.org formore information or call 989-831-5237.REDUCE REUSE RECYCLE

VISITCO n TI nue D f ROM PAGE 3

IOn IA --- n umerous changes and new con-cepts are coming to the 2010 Ionia fr f air.

One of the challenges of putting on a goodfair is to always be thinking about how to insti-tute change and appearance so the fair doesnt

become stale, yet maintains its heritage. saidf air Manager Bev Clark. This year I think wevetaken several major steps in that direction.

Changes in exhibit buildings, additional freeor reduced parking fees, bull riding, a virtualplayground, the AARP/Walgreens Wellness

Tour, an outdoor sports expo, an expanded An-tique Village and even an of cial State of Michi-gan legislative hearing are among the changes

visitors will notice at this years fair.Clark said the fairs three largest exhibit

buildings have undergone major conceptchanges.

The picturesque f loral Building will now house Antique Village, previously containedin a tent on the north side of the fairgrounds.

Antique Village is a composite exhibit of IoniaCountys rural, agricultural and lifestyle his-tory.

Interest and participation in Antique Vil-lage has increased dramatically over the pastthree or four years, Clark said. We had tomake room for more exhibits, more craftsmandemonstrations and more back-in-the-day en-

tertainment.f loral and artwork exhibits previously dis-played in the f loral Building will be integratedinto the Antique Village concept.

The fairgrounds historic MerchantsBuilding will be divided into two new exhibitconcepts. One half of the building will featureMichigan Marketplace, showcasing productsgrown or manufactured in Michigan. A new Michigans Outdoors Sports e xpo will occupy the other half of the building.

We are really excited about the changes inthe Merchants Building, Clark said. It is ourresponse to comments and requests from pastfair visitors. We think theyre going to especially enjoy this change.

Michigans Outdoors Sports e xpo will high-light outdoor sporting exhibits along with suchactivities as Turkey calling and other hunting

and shing activities and demonstrations.The e xhibition Building adjacent to the

Merchants Building will house an expandedMeijer Marketplace featuring a smorgasbordof commercial exhibits.

Wellness Day is another new feature of this years fair.

The nationally acclaimed AARP/Wal-greens Wellness Tour will make a two-day stopat the fair July 25 & 26. f air visitors may availthemselves of medical tests and screening free

of charge. Screenings include glucose, total cho-lesterol, waist circumference, body-mass index, blood pressure and bone density.

e verywhere the AARP/Walgreens Well-ness Tour appears it is a tremendous success,Clark said. We are so fortunate AARP and

Walgreens added the Ionia fr f air to its na-tionwide tour.

The Wellness Day concept will be expand-ed July 26 with a large number of activities forsenior citizens, including healthy snacks, a tourof the fairgrounds, special entertainment, lun-cheon and a meeting with guest speaker Rep.Brian Calley.

Clark said Wellness Day will also sponsor an American Red Cross blood drive; Guys & DollsHair & n ail Salon of Ionia will sponsor a Locksof Love hair collection effort, and Relay for Life

will attempt to set a record for the longest pur-ple ribbon on behalf of cancer patients and sur- vivors. The f air Manager also urged attendeesto bring old eyeglasses that could be distributedto those in need of eyewear.

We hope West and Central Michigan citi-zens join us on Wellness Day for what we hope

will be a record-setting effort on behalf of people with medical needs, Clark said.

In celebration of Wellness Day and seniorcitizen activities, parking will be free for all fair-goers July 26.

In a further humanitarian effort, this yearsfair will host a Rally f or Hope and Hungerin the racetrack in eld Saturday, July 24 fromnoon to 4 p.m. The event will bene t GodsKitchen and programs of West Michigan Cath-olic Charities.

The Meijer Mobile Virtual Playground ex-

hibit will be a new feature for Kids Day on July 27 along with a guest appearance by RonaldMcDonald. That evening the fair will host thenew Great Lakes Invitational Bull Riding com-petition featuring ve-time World ChampionBull ghter Rob Smets as host of the event.

State Rep. Mike Huckleberry, chairman of the Michigan House of Representatives Stand-ing Committee on Agriculture, will hold a com-mittee hearing to hear testimony on agricul-tural issues July 23 at 2 p.m. in the Merchants

Building. Huckleberry serves as Representativeof the states 70th District, which includes fourIonia County Townships, including both Beld-ing and Ionia.

A Bonus Preview n ight is a major changeto kick off this years fair on Wednesday, July 21,adding one additional day to The 10 Best Daysof Summer. Clark said the fair will open at 5p.m., parking will be free, but only the midway and food concessions will be open. All exhibit

buildings will be closed.The fair will resume July 22 at 5 p.m. and

gates will open for parking at 9 a.m. July 23 31.

Clark also announced that the fairs all-day parking fee will be lowered to $3 from 9 to 11a.m. July 24 for Grand Opening Parade viewers

who wish to see the parade as it passes through

the fairgrounds. She said Ionia street construc-tion projects may inconveniences parade en-thusiasts who normally park downtown.

All the traditional activities, exhibits andentertainment for which the Ionia fr f air has

become known all these years will not be lost ordiminished by the changes this year, Clark said.The Playworld Amusements Midway, our an-nual Grand Opening f air Parade, 4-H activitiesand exhibits, the circus, auto racing, monstertrucks, the n TPA tractor pulls, free entertain-m t i e -Park, she added, will continue to bemajor functions of the fair. But I have to admitthere is a special kind of excitement about thetype of changes weve made this year.

Of cial fair dates are July 22 31. Additional information may be obtained by

calling the fair of ce at (616) 527-1310 or visitingthe fairs Web site at www.ioniafreefair.com.
