Parker Hannifin Pneumatic Division Supports “Watch D.O.G.S.” Parker Hannifin Pneumatic Division provided support recently to Washington Street Elementary’s Program “Watch D.O.G.S.” with a $500 Donation.

“The education of students in our community is very important to us and programs such as these help to give students a great foundation for learning.”

Tammy Bailey from Parker Hannifin Pneumatics presents Rita Mitchell a check for $500 for Watch D.O.G.S program.

Pictured from left to right: Paul Mitchell, Norm Sweet, Tammy Bailey, Craig Sweet, Rita Michell, Ric Saucedo and Tony Morris

WATCH D.O.G.S., which stand for Dads of Great Students, is a national father involvement initiative started in 1998 in an elementary school in Arizona.

Inspired by one father’s desire to increase male involvement in his child’s school, the program is now in more than 2,400 schools in 41 states.

Counselor Rita Mitchell heard of the program and thought it was the perfect mentoring program for Washington Street Elementary. She believes every child needs a positive male role model, both boys and girls.

Top D.O.G.S Tony Morris and Craig Sweet first headed up the program with a team of 6 dads including Ric Saucedo, the head custodian at Otsego High School. Their goal was to mobilize as many dads as they could to volunteer. A Watch D.O.G.S. job is to be a positive presence at the school. They are present not only in their own child's classroom but in classrooms of other children, the playground and in the lunch room. They are making themselves available to all students. Craig Sweet says he believes that the program “will have a really positive effect on a lot of the kids to see our group in the halls and in the

classrooms, from preventing possible bullying to maybe playing catch with kids at recess or reading with them.” Tony Morris believes the data and statistics speak for themselves confirming the negative effect of the absence of a positive male role model. He believes this is a proven program that will help reintroduce that role model into our children's daily lives. The goal of the program is to have a “Watch D.O.G.” on duty at school for the entire day, nearly every day. While the program refers to dads, Watch D.O.G.S. can be fathers, grandfathers, uncles and other father-figures who would like to volunteer at the school for a day. All volunteers are required to go through a background check before being allowed to be in contact with students. If you feel that you are a positive role model and would like to volunteer, please contact Rita Mitchell at (269)692-6069 or email her at rmitchell@otsegops.org.

Donk’s Spices Up The M-89 Strip

Otsego officials welcome Donk’s Mexican Joint with a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony. Owners Sue and Scott Drolema are pictured cutting the ceremonial ribbon.

Michael D. Holmes Attorney At Law

On Tuesday, January 15, 2013 Chamber members and city officials celebrated the grand opening of Donk’s Mexican Joint. The Tex-Mex restaurant first opened its doors this January in the former Hot-N-Now building at 1255 M-89.

The former drive-thru only restaurant has been remodeled and now includes seating inside as well as drive-thru service. Owners Sue and Scott Drolema’s first Donk’s Mexican Joint was born in Grand Rapids with another location in Kentwood. It was in Grand Rapids that their popularity for a burrito “Better Than Yo Mommas” grew and they decided to expand.

The Drolema’s chose this area because of positive past experiences here.

They also received a request from a customer in this area to bring their great Tex-Mex food here. The Drolema’s are passionate about the food they serve and use only the finest and freshest ingredients to craft each order with Amorè. All beans are vegetarian, hand sorted and cooked

Words of

Faith &Hope

Is Anyone Listening to Me? “Then Jesus said, ‘Let anyone with ears to hear listen!’” Mark 4:9 People who listen to God do great things.

• Moses listened and led a people from bondage to liberty.

• Jesus spoke “and they left their nets and followed him.”

• Saul of Tarsus listened and became an apostle to the Gentiles.

• John Wesley listened and Methodism was born.

• Martin Luther King, Jr. listened and a dream became reality.

Jesus told a story about listening. “Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed” (Mark 4:3). The seed represents the Word of God. The four soils represent how God’s Word is received.

• Path-soil (closed-minded listeners) • Rocky soil (lacking depth) • Thorny soil (mixed up priorities) • Good soil (allow God to bear fruit in their lives) For most of us, God does not come to us in a burning bush (Moses), blinding light (Apostle Paul), a thunder storm (Martin Luther) or by being saved from a burning house (John Wesley). God most often comes to us in less dramatic ways … through the face of human need …through the Scriptures … through prayer …through other people …through worship.

This leads me to invite you to listen to God with us this Sunday in a church where Jesus’ love is lived. A life-changing message… inspiring music …warm fellowship… a welcoming church. You just can’t beat it!

Prayer: Lord, I think I hear You speaking to me.

Give me grace to listen and courage to follow. In Jesus’ name. Amen Rev. Dan Minor, Pastoral friend & colleague of Rev. Joe Shaler Sponsored In Part by:

exactly what Paul said he would do if that were true, “…eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die.”

Fact is: heaven is our real home and perfection won’t be achieved until we get there. God made us to spend eternity with Him. Now we do get a foretaste of what it will be like here on this planet because of Jesus operating on and in our lives.

Someday we’ll be in His presence… ”face to face”…now that’s the real deal of living.

There was a man of God, whose name was Job, who experienced life at its best and its worst.

When his life “was in the dumpster”…a real low with his children, cattle and home destroyed and his wife verbally abusing him…his body in pain; this guy, who you would expect to be really angry with God, said this, “I know that my Redeemer lives and in the end will stand on this earth. And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh, I will see God. I myself will see Him with my own eyes…I and not another. How my heart yearns within me!” (Job 19:25-27) What kept Job going was that he had hope, not merely that things would get better in this present life, but if they didn’t, he could and would look forward to seeing God. It has been said that our longing for heaven whispers to us in our disappointments and screams through our pain and agony. C.S. Lewis said, “If I find in myself desires which nothing in this world can satisfy, the only logical explanation is that I was made for another world.”

Yes, this world is not my home! As the old gospel song says: “This world is not my home, I’m just a passin’ through, my treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue. The angels beckon me from Heaven’s open doors, and I can’t feel at home in this world anymore!”

What we’re experiencing in this life is not as good as it gets…focus your eyes on heaven...be encouraged...the best is yet to come!

Always An Encouraging Word Pastor Don Ray, former Pastor of the First Congregational Church in Otsego, passed away on Monday, January 14, 2013 after suffering a severe stroke. Pastor Ray was well known in the community for his weekly article, ‘Encouraging Words.’ He will be sadly missed.

Donald Gene Ray, 73 of Jackson, Mississippi, born September 3, 1939 in Highland, Illinois. Donald (Don) was the son of the late Glenn B. Ray and Courtenay E. (Sandifer) Ray. Motivated by an early and deep commitment to Christ, he attended Lincoln Christian College and Seminary, graduating in 1962 with his bachelor’s degree in order to pursue his life-long passion of pastoral ministry and preaching.

Don devoted 19 years of his life to church ministry. He served in several churches in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s as youth minister before accepting a senior pastor position in 1972 at Highland Congregational Church in Highland, IL. Many years and a few career changes later, Don “retired” into full-time ministry in 2004 serving for 7 years at the First Congregational Church in Otsego, MI. Don is remembered well for his dynamic preaching, his visionary leadership, his comical rhetoric and his absolute devotion to the teaching of scripture.

The middle years of his life were dominated by his work as a financial planner and a development professional in Mississippi. Don was the founding President of the Mississippi Chapter of the International Association of Financial

Planners. He then served as President and CEO of his own company, Financial Review Services, Ltd. Later Don applied his financial planning experience to his work in development for Millsaps College and Belhaven University in Jackson, MS where he served as Vice President.

Most recently Don extended this expertise to the work of the Palmer Home for Children in Columbus, MS. Married for 53 years, to his wife and personal cheerleader, Jeannie, Don’s most cherished role was as husband and father. Nothing gave him more pleasure than being with Jeannie and their 5 children. He was the constant dispenser of wisdom, the caster of vision, and the voice of reason when emotions were running high. He was an avid fan and supporter for each of the five children in their sporting events and other individual pursuits. It was recently said about Don by one of his many friends that he “was more than a husband, father, grandfather, businessman or church leader. He was the ‘pater familias.’ He was the physical, spiritual, and emotional head of his family-tribe with all its many tributaries. That is accomplishment enough and no doubt his greatest source of joy and pride.”

Don is survived by his wife, Marie Jeannette Ray and their five children; daughter, Jerri (Ralph) Ross; son, D. Craig Ray; daughter, Julie Ray; daughter, Jene’ Barranco; son, Kyle Ray; grandchildren, Jennings and Graeme Ross; Mia, Julia and Michael Barranco; Emma Claire Ray; Baylor, Carly and David Ray; brothers, David M. Ray and Admiral Norman W. Ray; and many other loving nieces, nephews and relatives.

Funeral services were held January 19, 2013.

A memorial service will be held at the First Congregational Church in Otsego, Michigan at a date yet to be determined. The family requests that memorial gifts, in lieu of flowers, be directed to one of the following: Pioneer Bible Translators,

Pastor Ray left for us, these last ‘Encouraging Words.’

THE BEST IS YET TO COME – Pastor Don Ray The Apostle Paul said, “our citizenship is in heaven” (Philippians 3:20) and the Apostle Peter said, “Live your life as strangers here (I Peter 1:17). I have believed and said countless times, “that we expect too much from this life here on earth.” We act as if we can settle down and make our home here forever. We work and save up for retirement as if it were heaven itself.

We expect this broken world to hold the answers to peace and happiness. Take Christmas, for instance. We’ve come to idealize the family sitting happily around a beautifully lighted Christmas tree with peace and love filling their hearts.Yet, reality is that Christmas does not always bring the closeness to family and friends that we dearly long for. Someone is mad and refuses to come to the family get-together.

Another is absent due to a serious illness…or even death. And their divorce and remarriage sets up a dynamic that even Solomon in all his wisdom can’t resolve. And when the season passes and we’ve packed away the wreaths, lights, ornaments, etc…we sigh, “well maybe next year”.

If, for all practical purposes, we believe that this life holds our best shot at happiness, and if we further believe that this is as good as it gets, well then we will live out our lives as desperate, demanding, and despairing men and women. We will place on the shoulders of this world a burden it was never meant to bear. The fact of the matter is that most of us live as though this life is our only hope, and then we feel guilty for wanting to do
