Unhealthy raccoonNature, Trails & Wild Animals

I've got this one mama raccoon that has been coming up on my porch for a bit, and she sneaks some sunflower seeds from my feeder and just kinda sniffs around. But I noticed today she has one very enlarged nipple, and I'm not sure what I can do, if anything, to help her. She's wild, and very skittish. I don't think I could even get close enough to help her if I tried. Got any ideas?

Is it just me or have theocrats taken over?

It seems like everywhere you look now local government in Newaygo County is connected to these lunatic “American Decency” or “Grassroots” types pushing “God’s law only” policy. I’ve been here for 35 years and there was always a good ole boys club but they were never certifiably insane. Wtf is going on?

Child custody attorny for disabled fatherRequests (for items, information, ideas)

Strength training partner wantedRequests (for items, information, ideas)

Is anyone in the Newaygo area that's into weight lifting looking for a partner? I have tried posting on local pages to no avail so thought i would try here. I am a disabled father. I can walk but have spinal rods and shoulder problems. It's hard staying motivated with restrictions and no support.

Peace Starts Within our Community

To the people that call Newaygo their home, 

Do you know your neighbor? We come from a town with a humble size of 2,063 residents. But who do we really know? 

Our summers are full of drunken days floating down the river. Our fall seasons are transfixed on Newaygo athletics, dismissing the students who really need us. We share our opinions on Facebook, but could we say that to someone’s face? Does a simple like or love ultimately justify our opinion of someone else?

Apparently so.

To the parents: you choose to stick yard signs in the soil and wave your political opinions from the back of your cars – but why? Your children see this. They listen to you yell at the news because it said one thing you disagree with. Your children hear you completely dismiss someone you used to care for because of their ideological differences. No wonder they are starting to behave the same way.  

Political viewpoints are decided by you, and carried into classrooms by your children without a thought. 

But hasn’t it always been this way?

Yes, But this time it’s different.

This is happening inside the classroom, because this is what takes place outside the classroom. Adults don’t know how to love one another despite political views. Criticism and judgement are normal. Division is expected.  

To the Students: I recently graduated in the Spring of 2021. As we know, Newaygo high school may not have been as divided along the cliché lines such as the “band geeks” or “jocks”. However, students still separate themselves along social economic lines, along with ideological differences just like the adults within the community.

 How you dress, what items you possess, what you look like, and what your beliefs are. All of these things determine the social rank while in high school. Many students struggle day in and day out with 

Depression, 

anxiety, and

Self-esteem

 but as young adults we easily overlook these mental health struggles. We don’t think about the student who had cuts on his arm. We don’t ask what was wrong with the girl crying or throwing up in the bathroom. Instead, We walk away.

I walked away.

 Again – why? 

Newaygo County members, I urge you to think about your neighbor right across the street from you. Do not think about their political views, their Facebook status, or their son who made the varsity football team as a freshman.

Think about their heart.

I know it may seem like I am asking a lot. I know that I am never going to change your mind. This, however, is not what I am trying to do. I am asking you to look outside of yourself. Look at the people around you. 

Your community. 

My community. 

Parents, Love your children for who they are, not who you want them to be. 

High school students, make sure all of your classmates are okay – always. 

Look inward, examine yourselves, and become the change in this small town.   

Sincerely, 

A community member who hopes for peace

1999 drowning

Hello everyone. Long story short, I am looking for information about a drowning that happened in 1999. The person who drowned was my brother and nobody will tell me anything about it. Whenever I bring it up it gets avoided and the subject gets changed. I cant find any info on the web and the more time goes by the less likely I am to get info. He drown in bitely lake during homecoming. Any info would be appreciated. Thank you all for your help.
