BUILD YOUR OWN SCARECROW
BUILD YOUR OWN SCARECROW — BUSINESS DIVISON
The Harvest Festival Committeewould like to extend their apprecia-tion to all the businesses who partici-pated in the 2011 Business Scarecrow Contest. This year there were ten en-tries all of which were brilliantly dis-played. The Cooks (2011 Grand Mar-shalls) and Kailey Grospin (HowardCity Harvest Festival Queen) werethis year’s judges. The Cooks wereamazed at the creativity and inge-nuity that the participants put intothe displays all of which didn’t makethe decision easy for them. But aftermuch collaboration, the fnal decisionwas in; this year’s winner was the Di-ary Bear who presented “The Wizardof Oz”.
While presenting the trophy, wediscovered it was Carlie Prescott’sideas for the Oz theme but it waswhole heartily a group effort. “We area team here at Diary Bear” chimedJacquelyn Ducat. Once the themewas decided, the tasks were dividedup and everyone collaborated tomake it happen. Thank you again forthe businesses that made this year asuccess. A great deal of time, effortand dedication goes into building adisplay and we are all grateful. Thank you-Paige Denslow and Tesha Gould.

Even before the ink was dry on my ap-proval from the township for my green-house, on the north side of M-82, I receiveda letter from the supervisor that I was in vi-olation with my business operation on thesouth side of M-82. In last month’s, Let-ter to the Editor, Mr. Grannis wrote that,“this letter is in response to many citizensquestions concerning Mr. Powell’s zoning
issues.” His information is totally false.He states that in 1990 I was zoned for aseptic business only. This is not true. Thepeople who were on the board at the time,on April 18, 1990, were Supervisor RalphHauenstein, Clerk Margaret Hill, Treasur-er Bill Smith and Zoning AdministratorLouise Culver. Perhaps someone shouldask them what their intent was when they rezoned my property. (Unfortunately,Margaret Hill is deceased.) I have alwaysdone excavating work, hauled ll sand andgravel as my father and grandfather haddone before me. Our supervisor is fully aware that Powells Septic Service was sim-ply the name of the company at the timeof the zoning. As to his statement regard-ing my business on the south side of M-82,my father and I have had equipment andstockpiles on that side of the street prior to1990. In fact, our supervisor has stated wehave been there for as long as he can re-member. It seems odd that previous town-ship supervisors did not have any issues with my business for 30 years. If I were toagree with their current demands it wouldprobably put me out of business.
Last year I was given permits fromthe zoning administrator, Janice Holtonto erect a building for the storage of my equipment. I then applied for a septic per-mit from the county and a building permitfrom Stanton, to build on the south sideof M-82. Not too long after that all of my permits were revoked by the township. So
instead of putting local people to work in
the building trades I had to lay off some of my workers. Since attorney fees have been very high on both sides, I was curious asto how much the township was spendingof the taxpayers dollars to ght me. Underthe Freedom of Information Act I askeda very specic question to the townshipclerk, “How much in attorney fees have been spent to ght me?” I received an an-swer back, “We checked with our attorney and we don’t have to tell you, it is attorney client privilege.” My question is, who is
the client, isn’t it me as a taxpayer? Wellso much for transparent government. Per-haps another taxpayer in the township would want to ask the question; maybethey could get a straight answer.
JOHn POwEllReod Tohip
Township’sdepartment doesn’t
make senseTO THE EDITOR:
Reynolds Township has nally allowedme to live in our home but not until they
got their own way. You have to rememberthat the township started its own Building,Safety Department. Even though I origi-nally purchased all the necessary permitsthrough Montcalm County Building andSafety in Stanton. I was told that the town-ship no longer recognized them. So I hadto re-purchase the same permits throughReynolds Township.
I had Montcalm County Building andSafety come out and they passed and is-sued a Certicate of Occupancy but this was not good enough for the township Ihad to have its certicate. So I had theirinspector come out which I was told he would not issue a permit until I enclosedmy deck because they wanted to call it aporch. I asked why I could not receive
an occupancy permit because the housepassed, I was told the deck was attachedto the house and they wanted in enclosed.Rather than ghting and going back tocourt I allowed them to dictate so I en-closed the deck and I received a certicateof occupancy through the township. Inmy opinion I feel sorry for the next people who want to build their own home andhave to put up with the township and theirinterpretation of the building code, to methere is an obvious difference between
Montcalm County’s Building and Safety and Reynolds Township Building Safety Department.

Joint Pain and Food SensitivitiesThis is the un-edited story of one woman’s journey with food allergies and arthritis. She wrote because she wants some help with
bone spurs.
Fifteen years ago, I had pain from neck to toe. Was diagnosed with osteoarthritis and told that I could feel encouraged because of the great advancements in joint replacements. I told the rheumatologist that I was hopeful it wouldn’t get to that, and she predictedthat I would be in a wheelchair in ten years if I wasn’t willing to consider joint replacements.
I went on a 7-day Sonne’s fast and cleanse and all pain disappeared. I added foods back very carefully and over time (and a couplemore fasts) discovered what gave me pain: wheat, dairy, carrots, lemons, soy, and safflower oil. Since then I have controlled my dietand have taken glucosamine sulfate, and chondroitin sulfate. No joint replacements yet.
I took up bike riding last year, work as a school counselor in a large two-story building and am up and down stairs all day with nodifficulty. So, I think my food avoidance has worked well for me.
I did suffer a recurrence of symptoms some years back and after weeks of puzzlement, and distortions to my finger joints, I discoveredthat stearic acid in tablets and capsules is a problem for me.
When the attack of thumb arthritis hit a few months ago, I had not changed anything, or so I thought for three weeks of pain. Finally,in desperation, it occurred to me that one of my supplements could have changed. When I went through them, reading every label, Idiscovered that the Carlson people had added safflower oil to the vitamin D I had taken for years. I immediately stopped taking it andthe pain subsided within a day. Soon after, I ate one of Pamela’s Ginger Cookies (Pamela’s products had been a trusted friend for years)and I experienced thumb pain. Read the label to find safflower oil. Same experience with Trader Joe’s Black Bean Enchiladas, Food for
Life’s China Black Rice Bread, and virtually all the baked goods from the gluten-free bakery I have frequented for six years. The way I seeit, I could tolerate small amounts of that wretched oil, but when I ingested a dose everyday, my immune system reacted.
However, right after discovering the oil in my Vit. D, I purchased a roasted chicken from my local market sothat I could have easy meals during a busy week at school. Thumb pain all week. Stopped eating the chickenand pain subsided. I asked them if they used safflower oil on their roasted chickens and they said no. I didn’tbelieve them. Last week, feeling a cold coming on, I put together a pot of chicken soup, using Pacific’s OrganicChicken Broth and organic chicken thighs. Pain after one bowl. So, chicken is on my list of avoid foods.
The bone spurs are not pleasant, but are not horrible when I stay away from offending foods. Yesterday my pain seemed to be from more than just the spurs. Was it the beef I ate for lunch? Was it the bike ride andover use of that spur laden joint? My body seems to sing when I eat salmon, so I’ll try to keep to that all week.Love it but anything gets tiresome over time.
I share this to illustrate how the foods we eat can cause inflammation in our genetically weakest system. Pay attention. You may also be affected by the foods you eat. We will recommend Herbal Hydrangea one threetimes per day and Homeopathic Calcerea Carbonicum 6C one pellet per day for the spurs in the hands andthumbs. Stay tuned for the results.

I get the calls. Someone called them, or came to their door, or
they saw a newspaper article or flier which told them that they
absolutely need a Trust, warned them great perils lurk at the
probate court if they die without one, and wants them to cometo a ‘More Information’ seminar, or, worse, will sell them a
package of legal documents for a mere $2,000-$3,000, legal
documents which they insist will certainly save them or their
kids thousands of dollars. So they call around, shopping for a
lower cost. Can’t blame them at all. They ask “What does a
trust typically cost?”
There’s no ‘typical Trust’. There is no free lunch, no ‘typi-
cal’ trust. So I ask them “What kind of trust do you think youneed?” They answer, “Just a regular one.” “Well, then, the costdepends,” They’re thinking “Dang! Typical lawyer. Can’t get
a straight answer out of any of them.” But costs depend on
what’s going on in your life, what the purpose is for the Trust,
who the beneficiaries will be, what your health is, what the
Trust will own, what taxes we need to minimize and more.
Some education… A trust is created when the Grantor – the
person creating the Trust – communicates orally or in writ-
ing to someone else, that they are creating a Trust. Then the
Grantor picks a Trustee – who could be themself (Wow, whata mind bender that is) – and tells that Trustee what the stuff
is that needs entrusting to them, why, what to do with it, and
when to give the stuff back or give the stuff to somebody else.
It does not need to be in writing, but it should be in 99% of
the cases.
For example. If you give your daughter, Annie, your favorite
piece of jewelry and $10,000 and tell her to invest the $10,000for Charlie, her 3 year old disabled son’s, education, with in-
structions to give him the money when he starts college, and
to give the jewelry as a gift to his wife someday when he gets
married, and to pay herself $50 a year out of the interest shemakes from investing the $10,000 (for her trouble holding the
jewels and picking an investor), then:
• You, the Grantor, created a Trust. Give it a name. Call it
Charlie’s Chunk of Change Trust.
• Annie is the Trustee of Charlie’s Chunk of Change Trust.
(Since Annie is a good investor, Charlie will have a big
chunk when he goes to college)
• Annie earns $50 per year income, which she has to re-
port to the IRS and on which she has to pay income tax.
• Even though Annie has the jewels in her bedroom dress-
er drawer, the Trust (not her, you, nor Charlie, but the
oral, unwritten Trust) technically owns the money and jewelry. Stuff the Trust owns – money and jewels - is
called the Trust’s ‘principal’.
• The Trust can apply for and receive a unique Federal ID
number from the IRS as it is now a taxpayer.
• The Trust will have to pay taxes on the income its invest-
ed principal ($10,000) earns. Hmmm. You should have
talked to an attorney before creating the Trust, about
how to minimize, avoid or postpone paying those taxes.
• The beneficiary of the Trust is Charlie. Too bad you
didn’t think to tell Annie she could use the money in the
event a cure was found for Charlie’s disability and she
needed just $10,000 more to pay for it.
• The Trust ends only when Charlie starts college and hegets married.
• If Charlie never goes to college or gets married? Hope-
fully you thought to tell Annie what to do if that hap-
pened.
• If disabled Charlie is getting government Social Security
Disability income, then in the year he receives the mon-
ey, which could be worth 2-3 times the initial amount
Annie invested, it could disqualify him from receiving
part of his SSD benefits that year – unless Annie had
something from you in writing to prove she was not to
give or use that money for Charlie’s basic needs.
• If Annie dies before Charlie goes to college? Hopefully
you told Annie who you want to replace her.
• If Charlie dies before he goes to college? Hopefully you
told Annie, and whomever would replace her, what to do
with the principal (money and jewels) if that happens.
• ….and a hundred and three different questions, just for
this simple, unwritten, Charlie’s Chunk of Change Trust
you created.
What’s a typical Trust? No such animal. Does a trust benefit
you? If you have stuff, lots of stuff, different stuff, or family
or tax problems you’re trying to solve, well, then, maybe. But
almost certainly, just some expert advice (from an accountant,
investment advisor, lawyer, banker) will save you and your
beneficiaries your own chunk of change. Get some.
