on while enjoying this fun time full of books, music, and maybe a little treat. Please be aware that this program is weather permitting, requires registration each month, and is recommended for families with children 8 and under. During the month of September we will look at healthy food.

Page Turners Portland District Library's teen book club, Page Tuners, is returning in September with “Little Creeping Things” by Chelsea Ichaso. This book is about Cassidy Pratt, who accidentally started a fire that killed her neighbor when she was a child. Her town's bullies, especially Melody Davenport, have never let her live it down. When Melody goes missing, Cassidy has some information for the police, but she didn't report it because she recently joked about having the perfect way to murder Melody.

DOUG HYLAND

Muir Village President For The 2021 Michigan Rural Water Administrator Of The Year Award.

JERRETT LOOMIS

We proudly feature

Muir DPW Superintendent And Water Operator For The 2021 Michigan Rural Water Emerging Professional Of The Year.

Doug has been instrumental in securing grants for past projects for the Water System in 2010, CIS Trail and for a multi-million dollar bridge project finished in 2016, plus the awarding of four grants for a large 2022 Water and Street project next year.

Jerrett initiated an Energy Survey Program through Michigan Rural Water in 2019-20 that identified a repair in the Booster Station saving over a third in energy costs and provided the means for a $15,000 EGLE Energy Grant for a village building which was completed in June 2021.

Jerrett also attained his second tier of EGLE Water Operator licensing in July 2021 and is working with engineers on upgrades to the Water and Street system for the 2022 project.

The Village of Muir is fortunate to have dedicated and talented individuals working for them!

Sparrow Hospital verified as region’s only Level 1 Trauma Center, prepared for the area’s most serious cases LANSING, MI – Sparrow Hospital has again been verified as a Level 1 Trauma Center, the only facility in Mid-Michigan to receive such a designation for adult and pediatric patients.

Being a Level 1 Trauma Center means Sparrow is equipped to handle the worst of the worst trauma cases, such as victims of car accidents, plane crashes, and the like. Trauma Centers such as Sparrow’s are very specialized, unique healthcare facilities, and are here 24/7/365 when the commuinnty needs them at a moment’s notice.

The verification came from a review committee that is part of the American College of Surgeons (ACS). The achievement recognizes Sparrow’s dedication to providing optimal care for seriously injured patients. Level 1 verification is the highest acknowledgement of care standards confirmed by the ACS. "We have within our hospital teams of physicians, nurses, and surgeons with advanced skill sets who stand ready

Ionia 616.523.1600 Muir 989.855.2755 Portland 517.647.6722 Saranac 616.642.9408

to respond rapidly to severe injuries associated with all different types of trauma," said Denny R. Martin, D.O., Chief Medical Officer for Sparrow Hospital. "This verification confirms that we are doing that in a structured, measured way that meets national standards."

The Level 1 Trauma Center certification extends through April 26, 2024, and includes the one-year COVID-19 extension granted to all verified trauma centers. The level of verification is requested by the hospital, and an on-site review is conducted by a team

of reviewers experienced in the field of trauma.
