Rep. Calley: Michigan vaccine distribution is behind most states, governor must do better State Rep. Julie Calley today expressed deep disappointment in the Whitmer administration’s rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine in Michigan and called on the governor to focus on fixing the problems with the state’s system.

Calley, of Portland, said the governor’s slow rollout of the vaccine, coupled with her announcement that the vaccine would be available to people 65 and above, has created a demand that is impossible for hospitals and health departments to keep up with.

“The Whitmer administration had 11 months to plan for the release of a vaccine,” Calley said. “They knew one was on the way. They rightfully celebrated when a Michigan company was leading the way. Now,

the governor is disappointing us all with one of the worst vaccination administration programs in the country.”

Last week, administrators with the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services blamed delays in administering the vaccine on the holidays and health-care workers being on vacation. Calley pointed out that administering vaccines around the holidays is a challenge the whole nation was facing, yet other states have not seen the same delays as Michigan. As of last week, Michigan had the sixth lowest per-capita vaccination rate in the country.

To make matters worse, Gov. Whitmer and MDHHS have focused on pointing fingers at the federal government instead

of solving problems brought forward by local health experts.

Numerous stakeholders and constituents have said the plan MDHHS has put forward is too confusing and does not provide clear and concise information.

Additionally, MDHHS has not provided a central database for hospitals to access to seek out other independent health-care workers to vaccinate. Once hospital systems are vaccinated, they are then tasked with reaching out to health-care workers at private medical offices, dentistry offices and other similar facilities to administer vaccinations. Since there is no central database, hospitals have reported challenges reaching providers.

The Associated Press recently reported that 2.58 million Mich-

$20.00 OFF COUPON Minimum $200.00 Purchase

igan residents are currently eligible for the vaccination.

“According to the state’s data, 831,150 doses of the vaccine have been distributed, but less than 300,000 vaccines have been administered as of Jan. 11,” Calley said. “Obviously, that’s less than half of our doses which have successfully been administered. Enrolled vaccine providers have no idea when they are going to receive more doses, making it nearly impossible to schedule vaccination clinics.”

“The Whitmer administration has over-promised and under-delivered,” Calley said.

“Not only are we lagging behind other states, this administration has created an impossible situation for our local health departments and other providers enrolled in the COVID Vaccination Program. The local facilities have thousands of seniors and essential workers who are ready to receive this life-saving vaccine, and they’re not getting the information or

the resources they need from the state department in charge of the rollout.”

MDHHS has argued that the federal government does not share information with the states in a timely manner.

However, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services notifies states every Tuesday how many vaccine doses states will receive the following week, and those doses are shipped each weekend, so they can arrive starting Monday of each week. The federal government is in the process of accelerating that timeline even further.

“The people of Michigan don’t want to hear excuses. They want a better plan of action,” Calley said. “The lives of Michigan families are on the line. As

OTISCO TOWNSHIP IONIA COUNTY, MICHIGAN PLANNING COMMISSION NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Wednesday, February 3, 2021 at 7:00PM PUBLIC NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN: The Otisco Township Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on Wednesday February 3, 2021 at 7:00PM at the Otisco Township Hall, 9663 Button Road, Belding, Michigan 48809 to receive and consider public comment concerning the following two items: 1: the adoption of an ordinance regulating parks and recreation.

Section 1 The following is a summary of the proposed Park and Recreation Ordinance for Otisco Township.

The proposed Otisco Township is an Ordinance to protect the public health, safety and general welfare of Otisco Township residents by establishing regulations relating to the operation, control and management of parks as defined by this Ordinance; to provide penalties for the violation of said ordinance; and to repeal all ordinances or parts of an ordinance in conflict therewith.

Section 2 Park Rules to be listed on a sign at the entrance or the area of the park.

The rules will be generalized from the Ordinance of the proposed park and recreation ordinance.

2: Change section 1.435 (I) To include a section on large storage containers.

I. Accessory Buildings and Uses.

1. No accessory building or use larger than 144 square feet may be built upon any lot on which there is no principal building, except the following: a. Farm accessory buildings shall not be subject to above restrictions. b. Adjoining lots in single ownership may be considered one lot.

2. Cargo Containers As cargo containers become an increasingly popular means of storage, it is the intention of the Township to regulate the use of standard cargo containers (20 ft. by 8 ft. or 40 ft. by 8 ft.) to protect the public health, safety, and welfare, and promote positive aesthetics in the Township. a. Permitted Locations: b. Building permits are required for cargo containers exceeding 200 square feet. c. Development Standards: A copy of the proposed ordinance is currently on file and may be examined and/or purchased at the Otisco Township Hall up to the time of the public hearing from the Zoning Administrator, or by appointment with a telephone call to the Otisco Township Hall @ (616) 794-3506.

All interested persons may attend the public hearing and be heard with regard to the proposed amendments. Written comments will be accepted in person, by mail to the Otisco Township Hall, facsimile @ (616) 794-7083 or by email to: clerk@otiscotwp.org by February 1, 2021 @ 12:00 noon.

Persons with disabilities needing accommodations for participation should contact the Otisco Township Hall at least forty-eight (48) hours in advance of the public hearing stating their request for assistance.

Portland District Library Lines Did you ever notice that the new year brings about a new passion to learn new things and improve skills that may have grown rusty over time? The Portland District Library can help with that, with a wide range of books, movies, magazines and more on a variety of topics from wine tasting to growing succulents. Not to mention the fact that your library card gives you access to a number of fantastic databases that can teach you to speak a new language, help you look up your ancestors, or allow you to partake of “Great Courses” videos. And I’m always on the lookout for program ideas, so if you think of a project or a topic that could be taught virtually or (eventually) in person, please feel free to stop by or email me at cgrimminck@portlandmilibrary. com to share it.

CHILDREN’S AND TEEN Storytime at the Portland District Library will continue to be virtual this Winter season.

Library staff and our partners at Ionia Great Start Collaborative have been hard at work planning all sorts of exciting winter fun for Busy Bees and Book Cubs.

This season is all about staying warm and cozy inside, but also dressing for some fun in the snow! Registration for Busy Bees (ages 0-3) and Book Cubs Takeand-Make bags (ages 3+) has already started! Winter session videos will be premiering each Monday from December 21 until February 22. Families can enjoy these pre-recorded videos over and over again, to read, sing, and dance along with library staff!

Previous Virtual Storytime videos can be found here: tinyurl.com/ pdlstorytime.
