Otsego Gets a Helping Hand On Wednesday, November 14, Otsego Chamber members and city officials celebrated the opening of Home Helpers.

Al and Carol Lust have lived in the Otsego/Plainwell area for almost 30 years. They opened the Home Helpers in Otsego in November 2002, and operated for the first ten years out of an office in their home. They started the business after they experienced how challenging it was to get enough help for their own parents who lived in Ohio and had to battle pancreatic cancer, stroke, near blindness, and dementia in the later years of their lives.

Problems may differ from family to family, and it is understandable that people would be skeptical of strangers coming into the home, but the Lusts have made wonderful connections with hundreds of families over the last 10 years and are hoping to be able to help even more in the next decade.

Recognizing the need for a better space for caregiver training and a more visible local presence, they took the plunge and leased the office space at 111 S. Farmer St in downtown Otsego.

The need for practical, reliable and compassionate in-home assistance is not going away, and, in fact, is

increasing. Home Helpers of Otsego currently employs about 35 caregivers and 3 administrative staff to help families in Allegan and Kalamazoo counties and nearby areas with services such as personal care, meal prep, shopping, errands, housework and laundry. Home Helpers is part of a national franchise based in Cincinnati, Ohio that has nearly doubled in size in the last five years.

There are over 650 offices in the network so that referrals can come from all across the country.

It’s not just older adults who are looking for help with the tasks of daily life, but also young professionals and new moms are wondering why they didn’t reach out earlier for a personal Otsego officials welcome Home Helpers with a assistant to keep up with a busy household. ribbon cutting ceremony.

Whether it’s helping to get children ready for school in the morning, or helping someone with dressing and showering after a recent hip kids, check to make sure grandma is taking her meds replacement, Home Helpers is able customize a properly, drive to all the medical appointments, and so on. Al and Carol Lust and office manager Tasha Lollar package that makes sense for individual families.

Home Helpers is a welcome resource for family are excited about the move to the heart of downtown members who are trying to do it all alone: work, raise Otsego.

Otsego officials welcome Friends Furniture Home Decor and Gifts with a ribbon cutting ceremony. Owner Donna Anderson cuts the ceremonial ribbon.

On November 14th, 2012 Otsego welcomed a new consignment shop, Friends Furniture Home Decor and Gifts to 109 Farmer Street, downtown Otsego.

Owner Donna Anderson’s love of painting furniture and collecting unique items gave her the inspiration for her consignment store. The store carries sofas, tables and chairs, lamps, hutches, pictures and decorative chairs. The store is not limited to just furniture and home decor but also carries purses and jewelry as well as some antiques.

Donna has reason for choosing to open in Otsego - a great small town and friendly people top her list. Another

reason is she believes in being active in making change and seeing growth in this community. She is willing to go out of her way to serve customers, offering pick-up and delivery of merchandise.

Next spring she plans to manage estate sales as well. If you are interested in placing your items in the store or have questions give Friends Furniture Home Decor and Gifts a call at (269)993-8768.

The store is open from 11:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Wednesdays and Thursdays.

10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and from 1:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Sunday. Stop in to welcome and support this new business.

Determining the value of their service or product is advised by this publication. In order to avoid misunderstandings, some advertisers do not offer employment but rather supply the readers with manuals, directories and other materials designed to help their clients establish mail order selling and other businesses at home. Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license ID, or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it is illegal to request any money before delivering its service.

CLEAR A PATH “A voice of one calling: ‘In the desert prepare the way of the Lord, make straight in the wilderness a highway for our God” – Isaiah 40:3 In the days of the prophet Isaiah, when a King came into an area, breakers were sent into the land to remove barriers so the King could enter.

The purpose was not only to make traveling easier, but to clear a path which would be a lasting tribute to the King.

Likewise, the season of Advent (“coming”) on the church calendar reminds us to prepare ourselves for the coming of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. The world was not prepared for His first coming. Will we be prepared for His second coming? Now, as then, there are “wars and rumors of war,” widespread poverty and a spiritual hunger for God. We can clear a path by repenting of our sins (personal and national). We can prepare for His coming by praying “Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.”We can prepare for His coming by offering our prayers, our presence, our gifts, our service and our witness.

Jesus told a story about being ready. It’s the story of ten bridesmaids (Matthew 25:1-13).

There was a wedding but the groom was late. In the meantime, the bridesmaids fell asleep.

Finally, “at midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet Him!’” (25:6).

Immediately they arose to trim their lamps, but the oil in their lamps was burned up. Five prepared ahead by bringing extra oil. The other five were not ready and therefore missed the wedding. The only way to prepare for tomorrow is to live faithfully today.

I am thinking of the words of that old gospel song: “Are you dressed for the wedding? Have you washed your robe? Are you dressed for the banquet? Are you ready to go? Are your lamps trimmed and burning with the Spirit’s light? Are you ready for the wedding if the groom comes tonight?

Prayer: Dear Lord, we want to be ready.“O come to us, abide with us, our Lord Emmanuel” (Phillips Brooks).

Let us help you prepare for the true meaning of Christmas by worshiping with us this Sunday in a church where Jesus’ love is lived.

This doesn't look like your average book club, but don't judge a book by its cover. A new club for boys is fostering an increased interest in reading and is showing them the value inside the pages.

Wednesday afternoon during recess, about ten boys decided to forego the playground and instead hang out in the Media Center. It was the first meeting of the Boys’ Book Club at Washington Street Elementary. Title I tutor Robert Sousley is leading the group, “The goal of the club is to familiarize boys with texts that they would enjoy reading and to show them positive male role models who express how they use reading skills in their life,” he explains.

The club will meet once a month; any fourth or fifth grade boy can join. They meet during recess and also all eat lunch together on that day, “Every meeting we will have a guest speaker that works in a field that would be of interest to the boys. The speaker will talk about what they do and how reading is involved.”

Larry Davidson, of Davidson Express, was the club’s first guest speaker.

There were a lot of wide eyes with their first guest, Davidson Express owner Larry Back row (L-R): Eli Saucedo, Gabe Secord, Cameron Ordway, Dylan Stack, Davidson, “He spoke to the boys about his Dylan Morley, Mr. Rob Sousley-advisor Front row (L-R): Wesley Stewart, love of motorcycles and how he turned it into Larry “LD”, Gregory Snyder, Noah Corradini, Drayven Westfall-Kennedy a profitable business. He also described to the boys how making contact with different motorcycle magazines and getting involved with them has helped his business.”

Davidson gave each boy a Harley Davidson pin as well which brought out a lot of "cool, thank you" comments.

In addition to a guest speaker, the boys have an open forum to talk about whatever books they are currently reading or their interests of what they might like to read; they are not all reading the same book but rather discussing their current selection.

WSE Principal Heather Badders was introduced to the concept at a national conference where a principal started a similar group to get boys more interested in reading, “It helped improve their reading skills and also gave them another group of boys to bond with,” she says.

Badders also explains how innately, boys are less interested in reading than girls, “and libraries are often built for girls.” But there is now a new section at the WSE Media Center designed for the boys. “There are books with shiny green and blue covers that are all about things boys like,” she says such as cars and trucks and adventures. This club will also have a say in the books that go there as they begin to read more.

While test scores aren’t the driving force of this club, it could likely be a positive side effect. “I started to research texts that boys would find interesting and I ran across some facts about boys’ literacy,” Sousley explains. “Boys are consistently performing worse than girls on reading tests nation-wide; boys need to see that reading is a valuable skill and can be an enjoyable use of time.”

The turn-out for the first meeting was good, “The boys seemed to enjoy themselves and I’m optimistic that positive word-of-mouth will bring more to the club for the next meeting.” If any boy is interested, they can talk to their teacher, Mr. Sousley or Mrs. Badders.

"To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing it's best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting."
