BY SALLY COLECOLE’S ANTIQUES VILLA

After doing business in Lud-ington for 28 years, a most rewarding opportunity has come our way: “Living and do-ing business in Scottville.”

Although a smaller town, Scottville has tremendous opportunity for growth and we’re excited to be a part of it. Four new businesses have celebrated opening just this season including The Bottle & Can, Paddle Sports Factory Outlet and Dee’s Pet Spa, all joining the Scottville business roster.

Our ribbon cutting ceremo-

ny was straight from the top ranks of celebrations.

Ludington & Scottville area Chamber Members, represen-tation from West Shore Bank and Scottville City Hall were among many towns’ people to give us the biggest welcome a small town could possibly

give. Cole’s Antiques Villa dealers, our family and a mul-titude of friends were totally enveloped in the joy of the day.

We are captivated by the busyness of this growing town.

There’s a lot to offer here. So, if you desire to browse interesting stores, search for something specific or eat great food, come to Scottville. Entrepreneur? Consider this town for a great place to start your business. You will be welcomed with unending di-rection and support.

We are all hoping you “cap-ture the experiences” in Scot-tville.

Loving Scottville!There’s a lot to offer here. So, if you desire to browse interesting stores, search for something specific or eat great food, come to Scottville.

Sally and Jerry Cole cut the rib-bon at Cole’s Antiques Villa.

West Shore Bank to expand;

joins other businesses growing in Scottville

BY MELISSA KEEFER AND STEVE BEGNOCHE OF THE DAILY NEWS STAFF

SCOTTVILLE — Scot-tville has a lot to cele-brate and the commu-nity did just that on a beautiful spring eve-ning downtown.

The Celebrating Scot-tville event — to cel-ebrate the four new businesses — attracted people to Main Street to share in the celebra-tion downtown in early June.

The evening also in-cluded an announce-ment by West Shore Bank that it would be renovating and ex-panding its existing Scottville office and adding 15 jobs there, some from its Lud-ington headquarters which will make room for new jobs in Luding-ton, too.

The bank also donat-ed $3,000 to Scottville Main Street.

Debra Kinnaird, West Shore Bank vice presi-dent for retail banking

and business devel-opment, made the an-nouncement for Ray Biggs, bank president, who was unable to at-tend.

“We value our com-mitment to contribute to the growth and live-lihood of the communi-ties we serve,” said Ray Biggs, bank president said in a statement pro-vided. “Not only are we thrilled to bring jobs to Scottville, we’re ea-ger to raise the bar on the exceptional level of customer service we can provide to our West Shore Bank customers. We continue to focus on ways to improve our customer experience in the various ways they choose to interact with us — in person, by phone or through our

convenient mobile ser-vices.”

“We’ve outgrown our current facility, because we’ve grown about 20 percent over the past five years,” he told the Daily News.

He said the bank has-done all the expanding it can in the Ludington headquarters to the point of turning some conference rooms into office cubicles. There was excess space in Scottville, so the deci-sion was made to use that space to create a new customer service department that com-bines loan and depos-it operations so that a customer who calls or sends an online inquiry can have all their ques-tions answered in one place, without being re-

ferred to different of-fices around the bank.

He said customer ser-vice has been good at West Shore Bank, but this provides an op-portunity to improve it and that sets the local bank apart from some larger regional or na-tional banks.

He said the move is great for Scottville be-cause it will provide 15 more people who lunch, shop and buy gas in town, and it’s good for Ludington be-cause it makes needed room for growth there.

“This will be great.” Biggs said. “ I’m excited for Scottville. and I’m excited for Ludington.”

BETTER TIMES IN SCOTTVILLE

Besides community members, a few visi-tors during the recent Celebrate Scottville were impressed with the town.

“Everyone is very friendly,” said Art An-derson of Illinois, who was downtown with wife, Corinne.

The couple enjoyed the live music by Cats N Jammers.

Gary and Jennifer Rownd, who were also here on vacation, said they were impressed the city is celebrating successful business.

The said it was nice that Scottville was cel-ebrating new business and exciting news.

Kay Bonds, who moved back two years ago to take care of her father, Richard Thurow,

said “This is getting people in Scottville. We need to get people back in Scottville. It’s nice to have an event like this.” Ron and Dee Baker, who have a summer place in Custer but live in Flori-da, enjoyed the music as part of the event.

“This is really nice for Scottville,” Dee said. She said they went in and met the new owner of The Bottle and Can and liked the new store.

“This is what it used to look like on a Fri-day night downtown,” said Howard Vander-Laan, who was down-town with his wife, Betty. He used to own a store in Scottville.

Alway said he is excited about the July 29 performance of Gasta, a duet from Oceana County which specializes in Irish music.

Disney’s “Frozen” will kick off the 2014 Scottville Clown Band free Friday night movie series on July 11.

This is the second year the band shell will host family friendly films on the Charles Thompson Memori-al Greens. The Scot-tville Optimist Club, along with area school groups, will sell pop-corn and other refresh-

ments from the pop-corn wagon.

The first movie co-incides with the Scott-ville Summer Fest. Each movie night also fol-lows downtown Lud-ington’s Friday Night Live.

“We heard a lot of positive comments last summer from families who enjoyed spending time at Fri-day Night Live in Lud-

ington, which ends at 9 p.m., and then came over to enjoy the mov-ie in Scottville, which started at dusk,” Rob Alway, chairman of the band shell committee , said

Other movies this summer will include:

July 18: “Zoo Keeper”

Time is your most precious gift because you only have a set amount of it. You can make more money, but you can’t make more time. When you give someone your time, you are giving them a portion of your life that you’ll never get back. Your time is your life. That is why the greatest gift you can give someone is your time.

It is not enough to just say relationships are important; we must prove it by investing time in them. Our love should

not be just words and talk; it must be true love, which shows itself in action.” Relationships take time and effort, and the best way to spell love is “T-I-M-E.”

How will you spend your time?

“It looks like it’s alive again,” How-ard said. The two have lived in Scot-tville since 1965 and were happy to be downtown among a crowd.

NEW STORES The new stores in Scottville are

The Bottle and Can, Dee’s Pet Spa, Paddlesports Warehouse and Cole’s Antiques Villa.

Cole’s had its grand opening and ribbon cutting Tuesday, among the events downtown.

“We are excited about it, the com-munity is too,” City Manager Amy Williams said. “There are a lot of people out tonight.” Owner Sally

Cole was pleased with the grand opening and ribbon cutting.

“This event is huge to us,” Cole said. “This town is amazing. I can’t believe the welcome we have had.” Cole was excited to see community members out and about Tuesday. Business has been going well since the move from Ludington, she said, noting some of their regular cus-tomers are coming to their new lo-cation.

MCC Educational Foundation’s 25th Year of

Providing FundsEducating students

today is much more than reading, writing, and ‘rithemetic, and educators need sup-port to provide our children with the op-portunity to fully reach their potential. For the last 25 years, Mason County Central Educa-tional Foundation (MC-CEF) has been there, focused on provid-ing MCC teachers with funds for special pro-grams and projects, as well as providing schol-arships for deserv-ing students in Mason County. This year MC-CEF provided the MCC School District with $12,500 in mini-grants.

The MCCEF Board de-cided to focus their ef-forts on providing new technology to teachers in the classroom this year, providing several buildings with travel-ing iPad labs.

• Victory Early Child-hood Center received $1,600 to match their

purchase of iPads, re-sulting in a total of 12 for their students.

• The MCC Lower El-ementary received $4000 to purchase 10 new iPads; this will be combined with three iPads MCCEF pur-chased last year pro-viding the Lower Ele-mentary with a 13 iPad lab.

• The MCC Upper El-

ementary received $4000 to purchase 10 new iPads, which the Elementary PTC matched. Combined with three iPads MCCEF purchased last year, the Upper Elementa-ry will now have a 23 iPad traveling lab as a resource for their stu-dents.

• Being able to hear as well as see informa-

tion is critical when teaching a foreign lan-guage. Projector speak-ers ($380) will enhance the instruction in Ma-ria Urka’s high school Spanish class.

•CPR infant manikins will be purchased for the MCC High School for $245. These mani-kins will be used for training students in health class, leading to

Red Cross certification, and ultimately, work-place readiness.

• Keri Sander’s sixth- graders will enjoy sev-en subscriptions to Scope magazine total-ing $263. Scope is a language arts publica-tion aimed at improving grammar and vocabu-lary.

• Both Post Prom and the District Art Show will be given $1000, continuing the annual support provided by the MCCEF.

• 19 outstanding stu-dents applied for the MCCEF Scholarships and the Board of Direc-tors had the difficult task of choosing the re-cipients for the 2014 graduating class. Lind-say Larsen and Ashley Pyke are receiving $500 and Madison Geers is receiving $250.

These mini-grants and scholarships are made possible by year-round fundraising ef-forts. 25 years ago, the first fundraiser for MC-CEF was the Golf Clas-sic; this year the Classic will be held on Septem-ber 6, 2014. Visit www.mccedfoundation.org for registration and sponsorship informa-tion.

In addition to the MC-CEF Scholarship, MCCEF

also manages several academic scholarships for other groups. Cody Jensen is receiving the David-Nelson Memori-al Scholarship of $100. Ashton Myers and Ash-ley Pyke are both re-ceiving $1000 from the MCC Class of 1965. An-treas Fintikis and Sam-uel Shanklin will each receive $1000 from the Anderson/Dennis Scholarship. The Drap-er Scholarship of $1000 is going to Ashley Pyke. Payton Bladzik is re-ceiving a $500 scholar-ship from the Newkirk Family. Rolling Thun-der/Andrea Miller is awarding Connor Klock with $500.

MCCEF is managed by a dedicated Board of Directors that donate their time to improve and support the educa-tion provided by MCC Schools. MCCEF plays an important role in the Scottville commu-nity by creating fund-raising events that also serve as social func-tions.

Please email [email protected] if you are interested in serving on the MC-CEF board, to volunteer for an event, or if you would like additional information about MC-CEF.
