Since 1854 — News from Montcalm County and Ionia County, Michigan
Spectrum Health United Hospital leadership honored staff members in its ICU and inpatient departments Tuesday with a DAISY Team Award for their work during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Carol Dwyer, chief nursing officer of Spectrum Health United and Kelsey Hospitals, nominated the departments for the special recognition.

The children have been waiting for weeks — 21 days, to be exact.
Last fall, we purchased 30 quail. Quail eggs are easier to digest than chicken eggs, motivating us to buy these cute little fowls. Naturally, their eggs are much smaller than chicken eggs. Five of these mini eggs equal to one chicken egg.
If Michigan residents support wind turbines, why have wind companies lost 24 out of 24 times when wind-friendly ordinances have been brought to a referendum?
If townships are “enjoying a new and substantial source of tax revenue,” why are they having to fight for those revenues?
Ramon Holcomb is somewhat of a regular fixture around Lakeview. The 40-year-old can be seen either walking the sidewalks and chatting with neighbors or at committee meetings for community events like Summerfest.
She’s mad as hell and she’s not taking it anymore. She’s sick of people taking advantage of her, taking her for granted. It’s never about her. It’s always about them.
They believe she’s bottomless and always want more from her.
