Scottville’s growing — a look at new businesses SCOTTVILLE — Scottville has had sev-

eral new businesses open during the past couple of years. Here’s a look at three of the most recent additions:

Miller’s MarketplaceMiller’s Marketplace will be at 202 N.

Main St. next to Cole’s Antiques Villa, formerly home to a car wash in down-town Scottville. The business will fea-ture a farmers market each Saturday. Jennifer Miller said she knows she won’t get it perfect in the first year.

“I plan on trying a lot of different things, to see what people like,” she said.

She said since Scottville no longer has a farmers market on Saturday morn-ings, she really hopes Miller’s Market-place becomes a destination for people to buy their fresh fruits and vegetables.

“I feel like it’s kind of cliché, but a lit-tle bit of everything in my life has led up to this,” Miller said.

Cottage WorksDann and Julie VanDyke opened new

retail space for their business Cottage Works.

Located on U.S. 10-31 between Stiles and Amber roads, Cottage Works offers cottage furnishings and decor, T-shirts/sweatshirts, beach towels, lamps, lounge covers, vases, purses, orna-ments, signs, note cards, and just about anything “cottagey” one can imagine.

The business started in 2009, with

Dann’s dock installation/removal at the heart of the business. He will con-tinue that work plus now have a loca-tion for dock, boat lift, swim rafts, sea-wall and kayak rack sales, and much more.

“The storefront will increase the vis-ibility and awareness of our products,” Julie said.

The location — U.S. 10-31 in Scottville — is ideal for many reasons, Julie said. It is on the way to many local inland lakes, and she appreciates its proxim-ity to Mason County Central schools.

J’s Spunky Treasure and Consignment

Jeremy Macher has always hoped to go into business for himself, and now

he has the opportunity to do so.

“Scottville is a beautiful town and I think it’s important that people do business here,” Macher said.

He said the location is convenient for people to stop by rather than hav-ing to go to Ludington for consign-ment shopping.

Macher said he will accept almost any items at his shop on a 50-50 sale basis.

“I get 50 percent of the sale price and the seller gets 50 percent of the sale price.

“I can’t take firearms or anything like that,” Macher said. And he is not equipped to take boats or cars right now because he doesn’t have space.

Macher said this store will give peo-

ple an opportunity to come in and shop for the item, rather than having to buy from a photo they see online.

Above, Dann and Julie VanDyke opened their Cottage Works storefront on U.S 10 on April 16.

At left, Jennifer Miller soon will open her market-place at the old car wash in downtown Scottville.

News from around our schools ...

MITES ((Michigan Industri-al Technology Education Soci-ety) was established in 1928 as a professional organization of industrial technology educa-tors whose purpose is the devel-opment of industrial and tech-nology education at all levels of private and public education.

They are a non-profit, volun-tary organization that works at the state education level as a unified voice for all Indus-trial Technology educators. MITES represents over 600 K-12 teachers, college instructors, students, administrators, rep-resentatives of business, and

volunteers. MITES focuses on the industrial and technological education of the youth of Michi-gan as well as the development of their educators.

Every year MITES has an an-nual student competition which

honors excellence in crafts-manship, design, and concept in over 70 categories in the In-dustrial Technology field. This year MCC is hosting the region-al competition for Mason Coun-ty and the surrounding eight counties.

Students from the area high schools, middle schools, and tech centers will all bring their projects to MCC where they will be judged by professionals from around the community.

Students placing in the top four of their divisions will move on to the state competition the next week.

mASon county Central High School Gymnasium

if you goAt Mason County Cen-

tral, we take pride in our students, and particu-larly the compassion that they consistently show toward one anoth-er. But this year the fifth grade students at MCC Upper Elementary took this culture of caring a step further when they reached out to a fellow fifth-grader in Pulaski, New York.

This fifth-grader is special needs and was going in for some major surgery. MCC teacher Sarah Matthews learned of the boy’s needs through a group with which she is affiliated called I Run $. The boy’s mother had shared the story of her son, and Mrs. Mathews shared it with her class.

It seems the boy is lim-ited verbally and has experienced name-call-

ing at his school in New York.

The boy also loves “high-fives,” and when his mother requested them from his fellow classmates, there was no response. However, the students at MCC re-sponded.

“Their compassion and kindness shone through that day,” according to Mrs. Mathews. The entire Up-per Elementary became involved by decorating “high-fives” (a piece of paper in the shape of a hand) to send to this fifth-grader in Pulaski.

The students not only decorated the “high fives” but put words of encouragement and positive thoughts on them as well. His mom sent pictures of his room decorated with the high-fives.

The Mason County Cen-tral District Art Show, sponsored by the MCC Ed-ucational Foundation, will be held May 18 through May 22 at the high school in A.O Carlson gym.

The show includes works of art created by kindergar-ten through high school students in a variety of me-diums under the instruc-tion of district art teachers Rachel Brock and Shannon Payne and industrial arts instructor Karl Shafer.

Entries are judged by a juried panel and prizes are awarded. The show is open to the public during regular school hours and through graduation night on May 22. Come and ex-perience the talents of our students.

Mason County Central High School revamped the class offerings for the final term of the school year to offer stu-dents opportunities to experience different elective classes.

It also provided teach-ers with an opportunity to try something new as well.

Included in this last term are class offerings such as Money Matters, Interior Design, Nutra Flex, Robotics, Shake-speare, Film Interpre-tation, and more. Stu-dents will also be able to take credit recovery classes, online classes, and core subjects such

as English and math.One new class in par-

ticular will be getting students into the com-munity by involving them in service proj-ects.

Students will be avail-able through the end of the year to assist busi-ness, individuals and service groups in Scot-tville.

If you have a project such as yard cleanup that you need help with, you may contact the teacher, Don Thomas, at the high school office by calling 757 -4748.

Projects will be accept-ed based on need and availability.

MCC takes pride in a culture of caring

New classes at MCC offer help to community

Art show, upcoming dates

The MCC Educational Foundation (MCCEF) would like to thank the communi-ty for such wonderful sup-port we’ve received over the past year.

Most recently, the Spring CommUNITY Auction was a huge fundraiser. It allows us to put money toward our students by providing teacher mini-grants that enhance the classroom ex-perience.

The Foundation has also awarded nearly $6,000 in annual scholarships since

2007.We hope you’ll save the

date of September 12, 2015 as we hold our 26th Annual Golf Outing at Lakeside Links. This is our second major fundraiser for the year, plus a great, fun time for all!

Conservation district annual tree saleBY JoRDAn DeVRieS ManageR/MaeaP teCHniCian MaSon-laKe ConSeRVation diStRiCt

Did you know that your lo-cal Conservation District of-fers low-cost tree seedlings for reforestation, windbreaks and wildlife habitat from local nurseries? So far in 2015, the Conservation District has sold more than 21,000 trees to part-ners in Mason and Lake coun-ties, at greatly discounted pric-ing, though we still have many more trees to sell.

The large majority of this vol-ume comes from people pur-chasing small quantities of trees — the District is thankful to rely on hundreds of support-ers, whose sales and donations support free services to resi-dents in Mason and Lake coun-

ties like forestry assistance, erosion prevention, wildlife habitat surveying, watershed planning, river clean-ups, scrap tire collections, school educa-tion programs and Household Hazardous Waste collections.

The great news is that al-though some conifer, hard-

wood and shrub species have been sold out, we still have many more trees and shrubs available. 3-4’ Black Cherry, American Chestnut, Sugar Ma-ple and Black Walnut Trees make great crop trees for wildlife while potentially add-ing future value to your for-ests for future generations as highquality veneer wood plan-tations.

For songbird lovers, Allegh-eny Serviceberry, Red Elder-berry, Hackberry, Yellow Birch

and Silky Dogwood provide valuable forage throughout late fall and into early spring when food can be hard to come by. Lastly, grouse, turkey and pheasant fans should take advantage of great prices on American Hazelnut, Ninebark, and Sargent Crabapple shrubs which provide long-lasting hard mast forage throughout winter, keeping these non-mi-gratory gamebirds healthy and happy throughout difficult conditions.

The District still has full availability of all conifer va-rieties like Red Pine, Eastern White Pine, Northern White Ce-dar, Norway Spruce and White Spruce seedlings and trans-plants, which are useful for wildlife cover and windbreaks that can help reduce heating costs and snow-drifts; heir-

loom apple varieties like Wolf River and Northwest Greening are available for humans to eat, too! Download a tree sale order form at www.mason-lakecon-servation. org/treesale.

The Scottville USDA Service Center continues to hold For-estry Friday events. Stop in to talk to our Outreach Forester, NRCS District Conservationist and Conservation District Man-ager about your next tree plant-ing, forest management plan or wildlife habitat improvement strategy. We welcome all resi-dents of Mason, Lake and Man-istee counties; all services we offer are free to the public to participate in.

Tree sale pick-up is 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, April 24 and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 25 at the Mason County Fairgrounds.

The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago; the second best time to plant a tree is now.
