Voters reminded to participate in presidential primary March 10 Check registration status, view sample ballot at Michigan.gov/Vote
LANSING - Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson today reminded voters of the upcoming presidential primary election Tuesday, March 10. There is no political party registration requirement and any Michigan registered voter can participate in the presidential primary. At the
polling place and on the absentee ballot application, voters will be asked to select a presidential primary ballot for either the Democratic or Republican parties that also may contain local election items. Voters who do not wish to participate in the presidential primary may request a ballot that
Thank You

contains only local items, if there are local items on the ballot. Citizens may register to vote up until 8 p.m. on Election Day. If a resident isn’t registered, or needs to update their address, they may do so by appearing in person at their city or township clerk’s office and providing proof of residency. All voters can visit the Michigan Voter Information Center at Michigan.gov/Vote to check their registration status, find out how to register and be able to vote on March 10, view the candidates and questions that will be on their ballot, get a map to their polling place and other helpful information. Polls are open 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Anyone in line at 8 p.m. will be allowed to vote. Additional information regarding Michigan’s presidential primary can be found at Michigan.gov/Elections. Voter Assist Terminals will be available for voter with disabilities and any other voters who wish to use them. ABSENTEE BALLOTS As a result of the constitutional amendment passed by voters in 2018, all eligible and registered voters in Michigan may request an absent voter ballot without providing a reason. They can visit their local clerk’s office for an absent

voter ballot application or download one at Michigan.gov/Vote. Voter requests to have an absent voter ballot mailed to them must be received by their clerk no later than 5 p.m. the Friday before the election. If voters are already registered at their current address, they can request an absent voter ballot in person at their clerk’s office anytime up to 4 p.m. on the day prior to the election. If they’re registering to vote or updating their address by appearing at their clerk’s office on Election Day, they can request an absent voter ballot at the same time they register. If they request their AV ballot the day before the election or on Election Day, they must vote the ballot in the clerk's office. Voters can also check with their clerk regarding the availability of a permanent absent voter list in their jurisdiction. If their clerk offers the service, voters can have an absent ballot application automatically mailed to them in advance of any future elections. CANDIDATES LISTED ON THE BALLOT Although some of the presidential primary candidates have suspended their campaigns nationally, state law required the candidate listing to be finalized in December 2019. To have their name removed from the ballot, candidates had to submit a formal request in writing to withdraw their name to the Bureau of Elections by December 13. Therefore, the presidential primary ballots list some candidates who have since left the race. If a voter wishes to spoil an absentee ballot they have already voted, they can submit a written request to their local clerk by mail if it is received by 2 p.m. the Saturday before the election. The voter must sign the request and state if they would like a new absentee ballot mailed to them or if they will vote at the polls. An absentee ballot may be spoiled in person at the clerk’s office until 4 p.m. the Monday prior to the election. The voter can obtain a new absentee Day Delivery ballot there or vote at the polls. There is no option on Election Day to spoil an absentee ballot that has been received by the clerk. PHOTO ID AND PHOTOGRAPHY Voters will be asked to present photo ID at the polls, such as a Michigan driver’s license or identification card. Anyone who does not have an acceptable form of photo ID or failed to bring it with them can still vote. If the voter does not have a photo ID, the voter may sign a brief affidavit attesting to their identity. Their ballots will be included with all others and counted on Election Day. If a voter wishes to take a photo of their marked or unmarked ballot in the voting booth, they may do so, but images of a voted ballot may not be shared within 100 feet of a polling place. Any other type of photography within the area where people are voting is prohibited. Selfies are only allowed outside the polling place.
***NOTICE***
Due to mandate by the National Grange Foundation, the Banner Grange must legally change its name and will now be known as Banner Event Venue. Banner Event Venue is committed to continue to provide the same great location for all your event needs, only the name will change! The National Grange of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry was founded in 1867 and is the oldest agricultural organization in the United States. We at Banner Event Venue would like to thank the generations of families in Orleans Township and the surrounding areas who came before us and upheld and maintained the Banner Grange. These wonderful historians include the Heppes, Haneys, Higbees, Horrocks, Dickensons, and countless others through the years. The current building was constructed in the late 1940s, after the original was destroyed by fire, and the local log beams uphold the roof to this day. Thank you for your understanding as we transition the name from Banner Grange to Banner Event Venue. Current owner, Mike Haney and manager, Brittney David, look forward to serving all your event needs! Call or text Brittney at 616-902-7151, or call Mike at 616-761-3238 or 616-902-4113.

The different types of bird feeders Birds are big business. That may come as a surprise to people who have never given much thought to the warm-blooded vertebrates who fly over their heads every day, but tens of millions of people have a passion for birds. A 2016 survey from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service found that more than 45 million people in the United States watch birds around their homes and away from home every year. While statistics aren't as current in Canada as they are in the United States, past studies have indicated birding is wildly popular among Canadians, with roughly 30 percent going wildlife-viewing while on out-of-town trips of one or more nights. That positively affects the economy, contributing billions of dollars to the tourism industry in both the U.S. and Canada every year. While birding trips can help birdwatching enthusiasts see birds they otherwise may never see in person, bird feeders can be a great way to bring more birds into your own backyard. Choice of bird feeder can affect just which birds come to your back yard, and the following are some bird feeder options for birding enthusiasts to consider. · WINDOW FEEDERS: Small and easily attached to windows with suction cups, window feeders are easy to maintain and bring birds right to your window. Birds that visit window feeders stand in the seed while feeding, so they must be cleaned and refilled on a daily basis. · TRAY OR PLATFORM FEEDERS: The online birding resource All About Birds (allaboutbirds. org) notes that tray feeders attract the widest variety of seed-eating feeder birds. That makes them ideal for birding
enthusiasts who want to attract a variety of birds to their properties. Tray feeders are simply platforms that hold seed and provide a place for birds to stand while they eat. All About Birds recommends tray feeders with screened, rather than solid, bottoms, as these trays promote complete drainage. Frequent cleaning is necessary with tray feeders, as bird droppings can quickly soil seed. · HOPPER OR HOUSE FEEDERS: These feeders are enclosed and feed seed out through the bottom. Hopper feeders are great for people who don't want to be bother with daily maintenance, as they can hold several pounds of food at one time, greatly reducing the number of times homeowners will need to refill them. In addition, hopper feeders don't need to be cleaned as often as other feeders. However, All About Birds notes that hopper feeders, which need to be thoroughly cleaned roughly once per month, are harder to clean than other feeders. · TUBE FEEDERS: Tube feeders deliver seeds to birds through screens or ports. Small perches attract birds to tube feeders, making these ideal for small birds. Some tube feeders contain perches designed for birds that can feed upside down, potentially attracting a greater variety of birds to your backyard. But All About Birds notes that seed can collect on bottom-most feeding ports, providing a breeding ground for mold and bacteria. As a result, tube feeders should be inspected and cleaned regularly. Bird feeders can draw an array of birds to your backyard.
