Morton Twp. to offer weeklyrecycling starting Saturday
By Kyle Leppek
Pioneer Staff Writer
ORTON TWP. Starting Saturday,
esidents of Morton Township will be able
o drop off recyclables once a week to
hopefully alleviate traffic from its previous
nce a month system.
he township will now offer recycling every
aturday at the Morton Township Fire
tation in Canadian Lakes. The move is
n response to the overwhelming number
f participants who would flood the station
nce a month, said township Supervisor
im Quinlan.
It became a logistic problem when everyone
aved their recycling all month long for the
ne day. The quantity they had and themount of stuff that was brought on that
aturday (became) a really safety issue,
uinlan said. We felt that the demand and
he response was enough and we needed
o look at some other alternative to eliminate
he mass overflow of cars and traffic.
he township originally collected recyclables
ne Saturday a month to be delivered to the
ig Rapids recycling center. The township
as hired Allied Waste services to transport
he recycling container to a Kent County
ecycling facility.
he Kent County recycling facility uses
single-stream system, which allows
esidents to combine recyclables to be
orted later at the plant, said Gary Doudhett,perations manager at Allied Waste.
esides offering residents a weekly chance
o recycle, Allied Waste also collects more
aterials than the previous program,
uinlan said. A complete list of acceptable
tems and how to prepare each item for
ecycling is available at the townships
ebsite at www.mortontownship.org.
Items can be placed in clear plastic bags for
asier sorting. All items should be relatively
lean and heavy soil, residue and grease
should be removed, Doudhett said.
Employees will be on hand to help direct
raffic and move cars through a single-file
line in an orderly fashion. Although the
rogram is designed for Morton Townshipesidents, the township has reached out to
ther neighboring townships to participate
n its program.
ustin Township has participated for nearly
year. The township pays $150 a month
o participate and it gives residents options
here to recycle, said Austin Township
Supervisor Kenneth Vredenburg.
Some residents use it and others dont
because they go to Big Rapids but there are
few that use because they like the availability
of it, Vredenburg said. If (Austin Township
residents) use it more, then we might think
about contributing more money.
When the program was offered once a
month, the container would become fulland the program would often shut down
early, Vredenburg said. He hopes offering
it weekly will change that.
Residents in Morton and Austin townships
can recycle from 9 a.m. to noon every
Saturday at the fire station located at 8260
100th Ave. in Canadian Lakes.
For more information, contact the township
at (231) 972-7138.
Ferris to start bus shuttle fromGrand Rapids to Big Rapids this
fall
By Lauren Fitch
Pioneer Staff Writer
IG RAPIDS Commuting from Big Rapids
to Grand Rapids just got easier thanks to
a new shuttle service starting Aug. 29 at
Ferris State University.
Through a partnership with The Rapid,
the shuttle bus will make four trips a day,
from The Rapids Central Station in Grand
Rapids to Ferris Big Rapids campus.
Meijer in Cedar Springs will be the routes
only other stop. The first bus will leave
Grand Rapids at 6:25 a.m. and the final bus
will return to Grand Rapids at 9:05 p.m. It
will run Monday through Friday.
The bus is intended to help students and
faculty in Kent County easily make the
commute to Ferris main campus. The
service also is open to the public.
The admissions staff identified a group of
potential students in the Grand Rapids area
that showed interest in attending (Ferris)
but transportation was a limiting factor for
them, said Mike Hughes, associate vice
president for Physical Plant, in a February
meeting discussing the bus service.
Surveys were distributed to 4,600 potential
students, current students, faculty and staff
to gage interest. About 8 percent of the
surveys were returned.
Based on feedback from residents in Kent
County, Ferris decided to go ahead with
the shuttle, said Ed Shepard, director of
auxiliary enterprises.
The service is estimated to cost $100,000
annually, which will be paid by the university
and rider fare.
A shuttle bus card, good for one semester,
will cost $700. Individual rides are $8 each
way.
We want to set a price point where you get
people to utilize it, yet you want to cover
expenses, Shepard said, adding it is
difficult to predict ridership at this point.
The success of the bus service will be
evaluated after two years. There is no
set number of riders needed to deem the
service successful, Shepard said.
Based on a student who drives to Grand
Rapids three times each week, it would be
cheaper to purchase a shuttle bus card,
Shepard said.
LouAnn Kirkpatrick, a student services
representative in the Admissions Office,
was pleased to hear the shuttle service
would begin in the fall semester.Its a wonderful idea, especially for students
to have housing (in Big Rapids) and still be
able to take a program (in Grand Rapids),
she said.
Student Dustin Karpovich, who will
graduate in December with a degree in
resort management, was in favor of the
bus, but thought the price of a shuttle card
would deter some students.
Money is an issue for commuting altogether.
($700) seems like a big bill all at once, he
said. Frankly, people can probably carpool
for cheaper.

costs and for more information about Ferris
shuttle and its schedule, visit www.ferris.edu/htmls/current/shuttlebus.
Rules of Engagement: Whatto Know Before Popping the
Question
(NewsUSA) - An engagement ring
symbolizes your promise to love and cherish
your partner forever, and shows the world
your commitment to your fiance. Many
women dream about their engagement ring
their entire lives, so choosing the right style
is of utmost importance.
Here are some tips to ease the pressure of
finding the ring and proposing:
Its Not Only About the Diamond
A rings setting is as important as its
diamond because the setting is what
displays and secures the stone. Platinum
provides an ideal setting as it is stronger
than other precious metals, which means
that you dont have to worry about losing
the center stone with everyday wear. Also,
platinum is a naturally white metal, allowing
the diamond to sparkle even brighter.
Did you know that a platinum engagement
ring will last forever? Since platinum is
so durable and loses little metal over
time, the ring will undoubtedly become a
family heirloom that can be passed down
for generations to follow. And platinum
engagement rings are surprisingly
affordable. Contrary to popular belief, they
are available in a wide range of price points,
starting at around $1,000 at BlueNile.com.
Know Her Style
Before you go to the jewelry store, know
your future fiances style, personality
and lifestyle since there is a ring to suit
her perfectly. For example, a woman with
a hands-on job, like nursing, might prefer
a simple band with a secure setting, while
a woman who has a less active job might
want something more intricate. A woman
with classic style will want a different band
design than a trend-setting fashionista.
A classic polished platinum band from
Michael Barin will suit a girl with more
traditional tastes, while a birth stone of
colored diamonds on an embellished band
like one from Suna Bros. will look bold
and unique, says jewelry and style expert
Michael OConnor. To figure out her ring
size, press one of your girlfriends rings in a
bar of soap until it leaves a mark. You can
also put one of her rings on your own hand,
mark where it falls on your finger and have
the jeweler measure that area, suggests
OConnor.
How to Propose
Some women want a public proposal in
front of friends and family, while otherswant something private and special. In
either case, your fiance will remember
the day for the rest of her life. Think about
what your fiance likes, and where and
how you met. For more tips on proposing
marriage or choosing an engagement ring,

Image Is Everything
(NewsUSA) - Today people are bombarded
with more information than they can
process. Simultaneously, websites, blogs
and social media have the public trained to
consume information in bullet points, soundbytes and tweets containing 140 characters
or less.
No matter how you are trying to get your
message across, whether through social
media, a website or blog, an ad or even
a presentation, the best way to pique
someones interest is through compelling
imagery. Photos must be engaging enough
to get someone to focus on what youve got
to say.
When choosing an image, it pays to be
selective. Great images have the power
to inform, inspire, confuse, shock, delight,
empower, enrage and enlighten. Start bythinking about things like:
* Whom you want to reach?
* What message you want to
communicate?
* What sort of tone you want to set?
* What kind of reaction you want?
While the image should relate to the overall
topic, it doesnt have to do so literally. Thi
gives you the artistic freedom to have fun
with your image search. It also will help you
remain open to inspiration as you search.
As to effective image searches, sifting
through millions of images on the Internet
via a simple search engine query i
highly ineffective. The chances of finding
something the right size, shape, resolution
and quality are low. Copyright and privac
issues also arise -- particularly if the photo
will be used commercially.
Fortunately, there are places to get
inexpensive imagery that can be legitimatel
used for a whole host of purposes. Stoc
pictures can be purchased from places like
www.photos.com for as little as a dollar o
two.
For blog posts, budget-sensitive project
and nonprofits, Photos.com offers eas
searching from numerous categories in
several subject areas. You can buy a single
image, packs of images at various resolution
sizes or even annual subscriptions.
For images to be used for an extended time,
as in a website, or a marketing brochure,
more highly art-directed imagery can be
found at www.iStockphoto.com. Both site
have powerful search engines that make
short work of finding the perfect image.
Stop Bullying Before It Starts
(NewsUSA) - Whats the best way to stop
a bully? Dont let him (or her) become one.
Multiple studies have shown that teaching
children positive social skills and taking
proactive steps to prevent and discourage
delinquent behavior can go a long watoward preventing bullying and providing a
more effective learning environment.
Unfortunately, childhood bullying ha
become a 24/7 problem, and the anonymit
of the Internet makes it more difficult to
identify and punish bullies. But program
in which schools and the community wor
together to prevent bullying and reduce
disruptive behavior can make a difference.
The benefits of bullying prevention program
include freeing teachers to teach, instead
of spending their time disciplining students.
These programs also cut down on chaos i
the classroom and foster a positive learningenvironment.
Michelle Molina, president and CEO o
PeaceBuilders says that Children need to
be given the skills so they can solve these
problems and adults need to be the guide
on the sides.
According to the nonprofit organization Child
Trends, PeaceBuilders has been found to
work in increasing conflict resolution skill
and reducing aggression and bullying.
PeaceBuilders is a program designed to
foster a positive environment not only in
schools, but at home and in the community.The program is already in place in

Eyeing the Window to YourHealth
NewsUSA) - Some say the eyes are
indows to the soul. But did you know
that the eye disease age-related macular
degeneration (AMD) can also indicate
ncreased risk of heart attack or stroke?
EyeCare America, a public service program
of the Foundation of the American Academy
of Ophthalmology, is raising awareness
about AMD and its potential window to
health through your eyes.
Imagine seeing black holes in your field ofvision instead of your family, your garden
or your favorite book. More than 10 million
Americans suffer from AMD. AMD occurs
when abnormal blood vessels grow under
the eyes macula, where the sharpest,
central vision occurs. Its the leading cause
of vision loss for those 65 and older. While
not curable, AMDs advancement can be
delayed and treated, leading to many more
years of healthy vision for those who detect
it early through an eye exam.
This same blood vessel damage can also
indicate risk for heart attack or stroke -- as
much as 8 to 10 times greater. An Australian
study noted that among those whosehealth was followed for a number of years,
subjects with AMD had more than double
the incidence of heart attack or stroke.
Eye exams let patients know of increased
risk for other serious health problems.
EyeCare America provides eye exams
at no out-of-pocket cost to people 65
and older and offers online medication
assistance information. Eye exams are
provided by a corps of nearly 7,000
volunteer ophthalmologists across the U.S.
and Puerto Rico.
Those interested in the program can visit
www.eyecareamerica.org to see if they areeligible. The organizations online referral
center also enables friends and family
members to find out instantly whether their
loved ones are eligible to be matched with
a volunteer ophthalmologist.
EyeCare America is designed for people who
are U.S. senior citizens or legal residentswho havent seen an ophthalmologist in
three or more years. Additional information
can be found at www.eyecareamerica.org.
Refreshing CommunitiesThrough Outdoor Gardens
(NewsUSA) - Whether you live in an
urban or rural area, enjoying the outdoors
is something many Americans have in
common, and we experience it in different
ways -- both big and small -- from growing
herbs on the back porch to perusing the
community farmers market in town.
But why not take it a step further andtake action to make your community a
little greener? Creating an outdoor oasis
helps preserve green space, beautifies
neighborhoods, and can also bring together
the community through a shared cause.
One way to do this is through The Pepsi
Refresh Project, which through the input
of people across the country, awards
grants to projects, for both individuals
and organizations, that do good for the
community. This month Pepsi is challenging
America, asking How can you upgrade
your hometown with a new community
garden? Go to www.refresheverything.
com and give Pepsi your best answer, or
click through the hundreds of other entriesto vote on your favorite ideas to help ensure
worthy organizations receive the funding
they deserve. Since last year, Americans
have chosen to award more than 20 millio
dollars to community-supportive ideas
that receive the greatest number of votes
through this landmark fundraising effort.
Take Central Elementary Gardens fo
example, started by teacher Christ
Cuthbert, who used the $25,000 Pepsi
Refresh Project grant to create an outdoo
learning center and garden for her school.
Students not only get their hands dirty in
the garden, but also learn skills to promote
and manage a community farmers market.
Theres also the Brigits Bounty started by a
Colorado resident, Brandi-Lynn Greig. She
used her $25,000 grant to provide fencing,
seeds, trees, and educational programming
for a community garden, which provides
fresh vegetables to over 200 families in
need each month.
Other ways to get involved are to join an
already established community garden
or farm in your area. From planting to
managing sales, there are several ways
you can contribute.
Every action helps to create major impact
on communities, whether you choose to
vote for your favorite idea or put your own
idea into action. Even as the summer days
start to shorten and we head back to school,
Pepsi will continue to challenge Americans
with the next question, asking, How would
you make learning fun? No matter the
season, ideas can always inspire change in
communities and the Pepsi Refresh Project
encourages just that.
