Helping Hands gives spring updateOnce again a big thank you to the entire community
for its ongoing support of Helping Hands. The nancialand volunteer support given to this ministry continuesto amaze the Helping Hands board of directors and all ofits supporting churches. 2012 represents the 22nd yearof service to the community.
The Helping Hands ministry continues to work dili-
gently toward an expanded vision of service to the com-munity and toward its goal of building a new more ef-cient facility on its new site just south of the HowardCity VFW Hall.
Helping Hands asks the community to think aboutsome things. Its January and you have no heat.
Maybe no food. Perhaps you have lost your job or thewell that provides your water has failed. What do youdo? How do you help someone you know is in need in
these areas? Helping Hands wants to be able to serveour community by being a greater resource to help withthese kinds of problems.
It is an expansion of the vision of the board and thelocal churches that support the ministry that HelpingHands expand their services and meet those types ofneeds. To do this, and to reach its goal of a new facility,
Helping Hands seeks the ongoing nancial support, vol-unteer support, and prayer support of our community.
In a little more than one year, Helping Hands has ac-quired a new building site, paid for the property, devel-oped some talented people to assist in construction andraised more than $28,000 toward their $150,000 goal.
Why does Helping Hands need a new facility? Manyreasons. Elderly volunteers must go up and down stairsto get food. The layout is very inefcient and most im -
portantly to fulll the greater vision, a different facilityis very much needed so we can offer additional servicesto our community.
Helping Hands is excited about the future and is ex-cited about its second annual Miracle Sunday Servicethat will be held June 10 in Ensley Park. More detailwill follow on this very important event in a couple of
weeks.In the meantime, if you would like to offer your -
nancial support to Helping Hands, your donations canbe made to PO Box 532 Howard City, MI 49329 or canalso be made through their web site at www.helping-handshc.org.
Please specify whether you wish your offering tobe for the building fund or for general operations. Anyquestions can be directed to (231) 937-6758

Now that spring is here, many hom-eowners will start home improvement orbuilding projects indoors and out to spruceup or increase the value of their homes.The Michigan Department of Licensingand Regulatory Affairs (LARA) remindsconsumers of important tips that will helpthem avoid common and often costly mistakes while building or renovatingtheir homes.
Verify a Builder/Contractor License
Selecting a properly licensed contrac-tor is the rst and most important step inmaking home improvements, said LARADirector Steven H. Hilnger. Ask to see acopy of their license then take a few min-utes to look up the license online or giveus a call. Those few minutes spent at thebeginning of the project may prevent bigproblems later.
Residential Builders and Maintenanceand Alteration Contractors: An online li-cense search is available at http://www.michigan.gov/licenselookup or by callingLARAs Bureau of Commercial Services Li-censing Division at (517) 373-8376.
Contractors: Electricians, plumbersand mechanical contractors are licensed byLARAs Bureau of Construction Codes andmust have a license that corresponds to thework to be done. Mechanical contractorsmust also have the proper license classi-
cation. To verify license information visitwww.michigan.gov/bcclicense or call (517)241-9313.
Online Referral and Advertising SitesAn Internet search for builders or con-
tractors will yield service provider referralsites and advertising sites such as Craigslist.Many of the ads will state that the individualis licensed. Regardless of the source of thereferral, consumers should exercise cautionand not assume that these individuals arelicensed or that theyre reputable. Alwaysconrm that the builder or contractor isproperly licensed in the state of Michigan.
Dont Pay in AdvanceConsumers should never give a contrac-
tor a large sum of money prior to work be-
ing done.Consumers should never pay for the
entire job in advance or before their projectis completed, Hilnger said. Customarily,pay no more than one third of the total con-tract price in advance.
Homeowners are inviting trouble if theypay the full contract price amount at thestart of a job or prior to completion.
Pay in partial payments or installmentsas different stages are completed, especial-
ly on large projects. This way, if the workis not proceeding according to schedule,the payments also are delayed. Pay only bycheck or credit card, not cash. Before youmake that nal payment, make sure thejob is complete, you have inspected andapproved the work, the job site has beencleaned up, and the suppliers and contrac-tors have been paid.
Dont Forget Your Permit.Before starting a project, check with
your local or state building department todetermine if your project requires a permit.A permit provides the legal permission tostart construction of a building project inaccordance with approved drawings andspecications.
Permits are required for:nNew buildingsn Additions (bedrooms, bathrooms,
family rooms, etc.)
n Residential work (decks, garages,fences, replaces, pools, water heaters,etc.)
n Renovations (garage conversions,basement furnishings, kitchen expansions,reroong, etc.)
nElectrical systemsnPlumbing systemsnHVAC (heating, ventilating and air-
conditioning) systemsIn todays economy, do-it-yourself
home improvement projects make nancialsense. But its important for homeownersto remember that even if they do the workthemselves, they are responsible for obtain-ing building permits too, Hilnger said.Checking with your local or state building
ofcials ahead of time could save you costlymistakes in the long run.
A permit ensures that the proposedconstruction meets minimum safety stan-dards and allows code ofcials to protectthe public by reducing potential hazards ofunsafe construction. Property insurers maynot cover work done without permits andinspections, so the value of the propertycould be affected and problems may arisewhen the property is sold.
Other important tips:nGet three written estimates based on
the same work to make meaningful com-parisons. Estimates should include detailedjob specications on the materials, labor,timeline, and total charges for the work.Dont automatically choose the lowest bid-der.
nAsk for references. Talk to friends,neighbors, or former customers who arefamiliar with the contractors work, reli-ability, and business practices. Ask formercustomers to see their completed job, ifthey were satised, and if they would usethe contractor again.
n Obtain a detailed written contractthat states exactly what work will be done,the quality of the materials used, warran-ties, start and completion dates, total costof the job, and a payment schedule. It willprovide clear expectations for you and the
contractor, and help avoid many of theproblems experienced by consumers. Makesure you understand all of the terms. If youdont, ask. Never sign a contract with blankspaces. Know your cancellation rights.
nProtect yourself by asking the con-tractor, subcontractor and suppliers for acompleted and signed waiver of lien form.This will prevent a subcontractor or mate-rial supplier from putting a lien on yourhome if the contractor doesnt pay the bills.This can happen even if you paid the con-tract in full.
nMake sure your contractor is insuredand carries personal liability, workerscompensation, and property damage cov-erage. Ask for copies of current insurance
certicates. If the contractor is not properlyinsured, you could be held liable for any in-juries and damages that occur during theproject.
nKeep good records copies of thecontract, change orders and correspon-dence.
Preventive Maintenance Protects YourInvestment
n Check the roof for any missing ordamaged shingles, ashing around the
chimney, foundation for any cracks, win-dows and doors to identify or prevent wa-ter damage from heavy spring rains. Checkgutters to ensure they are hanging properlyand are free of debris. Position downspoutsso they drain at least three feet away fromthe foundation.
nInspect plumbing and pipes to pre-vent water damage inside the home. Checkaround the base of the water heater for evi-dence of any leaks. Make sure your sumppump is operating properly.
n Inspect the electrical system, fuseor circuit-breaker box for excessive wearor tripped breakers. Make sure each cir-cuit breaker is labeled with the locationit serves. Replace batteries as needed insmoke detectors and inspect the gauges inre extinguisher(s).
nChange the air lters on your heat-ing and cooling systems to clear away the
winter dust and ensure youll have fresh airthroughout your home.
n Check your deck for any damagedwood, wobbly railings or stairs.

New Slate of Candidates for the 5 positions on the
REYNOLDS TOWNSHIP BOARD
PLEASE VOTE AUGUST 7th(Register to vote by July 9th at the Reynolds Township Office or Secretary of State Office)Daniel J. Fisk - Township Supervisor
Hello, for those of you who dont know me, Im
Daniel J. Fisk, and at the urging of some of my
friends, business associates and many other
residents, I am announcing my candidacy for
Township Supervisor. I am a long time resident,
and a 1985 graduate of Tri County School. My
wife Sherry, also a Tri County graduate, represents the third
generation family (Kohn) living here. We have five children. I
represent the second generation of the family business, Ron
Fisk Hardwoods, where I am co-owner.
As your Supervisor, I would work to create an atmosphere where
all residents and businesses are respected, and that our Town-
ship is conducive to growth and development. As a resident and
businessman I understand many of the challenges and opportu-
nities and would work hard to represent you.
If you have any suggestions, questions or concerns I would like
to hear from you. My phone number is 231-937-4050, and my
e-mail is [email protected].
I would appreciate your consideration in the August 7th primary
election.
Respectfully, Daniel J. Fisk
Robin Sholty - Township Clerk
Although I worked at the Lansing State Journal
for 30 years, I was born and raised in small towns.
My career at the Journal included responsibilities
involving hiring, training, budgeting, purchasing,
accounts payable, advertising, promotions, and
general office management. In addition, my
husband Craig and I owned and operated a small business in a
rural community. Because of my small town roots, Craig and I have
found Reynolds Township to be a warm community, and see great
potential for its future. I believe my past experience and my interest
in local government will allow me to serve you, the residents of our
Township.
In discussing my candidacy with other township residents, a reoc-
curring comment was that the township hours of 10 am - 2 pm four
days a week (closed Wednesday) left no convenient accessibility
to conduct business. If elected, I would be at the office for your
convenience, beginning with evening hours from 5 - 7 every other
Thursday, and would expand days and hours as needed. There
would be no misunderstanding; I work for you, the taxpayer. I wel-
come the opportunity to answer questions or hear your concerns.
My e-mail address is [email protected].
I would appreciate your vote at the August 7th Primary.
Respectfully, Robin Sholty
Jan Stevens - Township Treasurer
My husband Rich and I are no strangers tomost of you in Reynolds Township, having been
born and raised here. We are both graduates
of Tri County School. Rich has been a builder
and real estate businessman for 40 years. Wehave been very active in local government
during that time. I graduated from Ferris with
a BS in accounting. I have done accounting and tax work for
the Salvation Army and Guardsman Chemical Company. I was
an Administrative Assistant at the Amway Grand Plaza and Pro-gressive Engineering, and also Administrative Assistant to the
Vice President of store operations for MC Sports. I served onthe Howard City planning commission, serving one term as its
chairman.
My extensive experience in accounting and leadership along with
my desire to work with people, I believe, make me a qualified
candidate for Reynolds Township Treasurer.
I ask you to vote for me in the August 7th election.
Respectfully, Jan Stevens
Aaron Kindel - Township Trustee
I am Aaron Kindel, and I am announcing my
candidacy for Township Trustee.
I have worked in the family business, Arks
Electric for 22 years, starting at the age of
fifteen. A Tri County graduate (1993), my wife
Ann and I have three children.
As a businessman, resident and taxpayer of the township, my
experiences have helped me prepare for this position. If elected,
I will be your voice, express your concerns and I will manage the
affairs of the township in the best interest of the community.
I ask for your vote in the August 7th Primary.
Respectfully, Aaron Kindel
Willet (Bill) Smith -
Township Trustee
I grew up in the family grocery business,
Smiths IGA on Main Street in Howard City
which my parents, Willet and Zora Smith
operated for 30 years. My dad, a World
War II veteran also served on the Village
Council and other civic groups during this time.
I graduated from Howard City High School before going to work
for Meijer where I spent the next 42 years before retiring as
Group Vice President in charge of marketing and advertising. I
served as Treasurer and a member of the Reynolds Township
Board for 13 years. Having lived in both the village and townshipalmost all of my life, I know the community and the people.
I would do my best to use my experiences in township govern-
ment and business to work on your behalf.
I ask you to consider me in the August 7th Primary.
Respectfully, Willet Smith
