† NORTON Bernard T. Norton, Jr., affectionately known as Bernie, passed away in his hometown of Lakeview on July 14, 2023. Born in Lakeview to the late Bernard Sr. and Alberta (Smith) Norton. Surviving Bernie is his beloved wife, Sherri Norton of Newaygo; daughters, Angela Norton of Cedar Springs, Autumn Gibbard of Mt. Pleasant, and April (Nicholas) Osburn of Mt.

Bernie was a dedicated employee at the Meijer Distribution center for 41 years, retiring in 2013. His work ethic and commitment to his job were admired by his colleagues and friends. The strong relationships he built during his career often extended beyond the workplace, with many of his co-workers becoming his hunting companions.
Family was Bernie’s number one priority in life. He was a Vietnam Veteran whose experience shaped his understanding and appreciation of the importance of family and unity. Bernie’s love for his family was evident in the time he spent with them, often cooking and grilling for family gatherings. His love for food was infectious, and his culinary skills and famous Mac & Cheese will be fondly remembered by all. Bernie’s hugs were legendary, a warm embrace that comforted and reassured.
Bernie had a passion for the outdoors, which was evident in his love for deer hunting, fishing, and bird hunting. He often spent his free time making food plots and training his bird dogs, hobbies that brought him immense joy and satisfaction. His love for nature was not just a pastime but a way of life that he shared with his family and friends.
Bernie’s legacy is one of love, devotion, and service. His selfless nature and friendly demeanor endeared him to all who knew him. His love for his family, friends, and animals was immeasurable, and his dedication to his work was commendable. Bernie’s life was a testament to the power of love, the strength of family, and the joy of friendship.
A celebration of Bernie’s life is being planned for a later date.

Saranac Community Schools
Non-Homestead Renewal ... vote Tuesday August 8
On Tuesday, August 8, 2023, voters in the Saranac School District will be asked to vote to renew the operating millage. This tax is levied only on “non-homestead property” which includes all taxable property other than principal residence, qualified agricultural property, and certain other property classifications. Most non-homestead property taxes are levied on industrial, commercial, business and rental properties, and second homes. This millage does not affect the rate on homeowners primary residences. Voters last approved a renewal in November 2014. This renewal will raise approximately $768,456 each year for Saranac Community Schools. This millage is an 18 mill tax levy on business, industrial, and rental properties within a given school district. It is not a tax on a principal residence or other exempt properties. You might ask, “Will my home property tax rates increase?” The answer is no, the tax rate for a principal residence will remain the same. In fact, for both homeowners
IMPORTANT DATES
and businesses alike, nothing will change. Homeowners do not pay this millage and businesses will continue to pay the millage rate they have already been paying because this a renewal of the millage that expires with the 2023 levy.
One might then wonder if home property taxes will go down if this is defeated. The answer is no, your home property tax rate will remain the same; the rate will drop only for industrial, commercial, business, and rental properties. However, the direct loss of this funding would adversely affect educational programs. For Saranac Community Schools, approval of the proposal will mean not only a continuation of more than $768,456 worth of direct local funding, but also the opportunity to continue current educational programs. A no vote will mean a loss of more than $768,456 dollars in direct revenue.
Please vote Tuesday, August 8, 2023. Voting will take place at your regular precincts and absentee ballots are available at your township clerk’s office.
• After June 24, 2023 absentee ballots will be available at your local Township Office.
• August 8, 2023 - Voting Day. Polls are open 7:00 am to 8:00 pm.
