The Village of Sand Lake decorated and lit up their Christmas tree and gazebo in Salisbury Park last weekend.
By Judy Reed
Holiday celebrations will look a little different this year in the cities and villages in our area. Officials are urging people to do drive by or walking celebrations, to look at lights and other holiday decorations rather than gathering in one place. Most parades have been canceled, but there are still ways you can celebrate. Visit our “Home for the Holidays” tab to see what’s currently scheduled.
It’s that time of year again, when kids can’t wait to mail their letters to Santa! To help parents out, the Cedar Springs Post has set up a special North Pole drop box. Every year dozens of kids use our special box for express delivery to the North Pole, and we make sure Santa reads each and every one! So, if you’d like to send a letter to Santa, and maybe get it printed in the newspaper, just drop off your letter in the bright red box labeled “Santa Mail” outside our office at 36 E. Maple Street, or mail your letter to: Letters to Santa, c/o the Cedar Springs Post, PO Box 370, Cedar Springs, MI 49319.
Hurry, all letters must be in Santa’s Mail box by Monday, December 21 to reach him in time for Christmas.
Holiday celebrations may look a little different this year, but there are still ways to enjoy them! See some of the details below.

SPARTA
Sparta’s Candy Cane Lane is a nice place for a holiday stroll.
Christmas this year is definitely going to be a lot different than what we’re all used to. And while that is disheartening for all of us, it doesn’t mean that Christmas is gone this year. What it does mean though, is that we can spend a more meaningful Christmas with those close to us. And what better way to spend time with our loved ones than to take a stroll in the bitter cold to explore a winter wonderland! The lights in Sparta are nothing short of magical and it’s no surprise that there’s always someone walking through Candy Cane Lane.
If you’ve been waiting for Candy Cane Lane, now is the time to get your coat on! The downtown lights are on. Take some time to wander around downtown to take in the lights on Division, then swing through to the 201 E Division parking lot to check out the new Santa’s Workshop. Afterward, you can make your way to Candy Cane Lane, where you’ll find the signature arches lighting the way. A new addition this year is the Gingerbread Forest! If you came to the costume giveaway in October and decorated a Gingerbread man/house, you’ll be able to find your creation there!
LANSING — Turkey, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie never last on the dinner table. Neither does Dad in the living room, who’s likely to fall asleep during another Lions Thanksgiving loss.
Yet, Michiganders eat on, stomachs bloated, with Mom asking (yes, again) why you don’t have a girlfriend. Sigh. While that won’t change, ag experts say the number of Americans eating at the dinner table might because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to a recent American Farm Bureau Federation survey, consumers will spend less on the classic Thanksgiving dinner (of about 10 people) by nearly 4%. At $46.90, or less than $5 per person, it’s the lowest average cost for a Thanksgiving dinner since 2010.
“Retailers know this is going to be a special year for our intimate, private gatherings,” said John Newton, AFBF chief economist. “At this point, retailers have not passed the higher ham costs down to their consumers, despite wholesale prices up more than 20%.”
After fielding 230 survey responses, AFBF found turkey costs dipped by about 7% to $19.39 for a 16-pound whole bird. Whipping cream and sweet potato costs also declined from last year at about 16% and 8% respectively. Elsewhere, the price of a 4-pound ham remained unchanged ($9.16).
AFBF also found purchasing turkeys from a meal-delivery service will cost a person 64% more at $1.99 per pound or 42% higher for the overall Thanksgiving dinner.
“I do believe we will have smaller gatherings in light of COVID-19,” said Ernie Birchmeier, manager of the Center for Commodity Farm and Industry Relations for Michigan Farm Bureau.
Part of the reason is due to the Nov. 15 emergency order from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, which limited gatherings to two households at any one time.
“The important thing is there is plenty of food out there,” Birchmeier said. “It may come in smaller portions, depending on the family size. When folks are out shopping, they are going to have to consider that, whether it’s buying a smaller turkey, a smaller ham, or a smaller amount of potatoes or stuffing or cranberries.”
According to Birchmeier, Michigan farmers produce many Thanksgiving favorites for consumers, including turkey, ham, potatoes, stuffing, butter, cranberries, and, among other items, pumpkins.
Tomac Pumpkins in Saginaw County annually grows 250 different varieties of squash and pumpkins. According to farm owner Sarah Tomac, about 100 of them are special eating types that are hard to find or almost lost to history.
The fourth-generation farmer raises winter squash on 20 of her 200 acres.
“What started as a 4-H project 30 years ago has now grown into the wonderful fall harvest display, offering Indian corn, corn stalks, straw bales, everything fall related, and a small gift shop which doubles as a small meeting area or classroom outside of the pumpkin season,” said Tomac, noting pumpkins and winter squash are high in vitamins and minerals.
“There are endless ways to eat pumpkin or winter squash. It’s not just limited to pies or baby food,” she continued. “Try stuffing, shredding, dicing, roasting or grilling any flavor. To test for doneness, stick a fork in it. Like potatoes, once the flesh becomes translucent, it is done.”
In Grand Rapids, most Michigan turkeys are processed at Michigan Turkey Producers, a farmer-owned cooperative. Data collected by the trade group Michigan Allied Poultry Industries indicate the state produces 5.3 million birds each year.
The birds weigh about 40 pounds and contribute $100 million to the state’s economy.
“Turkey farms in Michigan mainly raise toms, which are bigger than a typical hen raised for a Thanksgiving turkey,” said Allison Brink, executive director of MAPI. “However, one of the main products from a tom is a whole turkey breast, which is perfect for the smaller gatherings happening this year.”
With COVID-19 shifting away some of the business for turkey farmers, Jeff Smith asks consumers for help.
“The pandemic has hit us hard this year with many restaurants closing down or serving less than usual, as a majority of our Michigan turkey usually goes to foodservice and restaurants,” said Smith, co-owner of Smith’s Turkey Farms in Allegan County. “Michigan turkey farmers would be grateful for your purchase of a Michigan turkey breast for your holiday dinner this year from one of our local partners, such as Costco or Gordon Food Service.”

Postal Service Sunday package delivery will expand to select major markets
from the United States Postal Service
Grand Rapids MI — It is expected that more holiday gifts and greetings will be sent through the mail this year, as families and friends will hold virtual celebrations instead of opening gifts in person. The Postal Service always encourages customers to send their holiday gifts and cards early. This year is no different.
This has been an extraordinary year of unprecedented challenges given the Covid-19 pandemic and the Postal Service is expecting significant volume increases which are difficult to predict. We thank our customers for their continued support, and we are committed to making sure gifts and cards are delivered on time to celebrate the holidays.
The Postal Service begins planning for peak holiday season every January. To help handle the expected volume increase, the Postal Service has the ability to flex our network to meet the significant volume increases expected this year. This includes making sure the right equipment is available to sort, process and deliver the expected mail and package volumes. We also have 644,000 employees dedicated to ensuring gifts and greetings are delivered in time for the holidays.
Seasonal workers are hired when and where needed, and technology has been expanded to enhance package tracking throughout the USPS processing and transportation networks. Sunday delivery will be expanded beginning Nov. 29 to locations with high package volumes. USPS already delivers packages on Sundays in most major cities. Mail carriers will also deliver packages for an additional fee on Christmas Day in select locations.
Busiest Mailing and Delivery Days
The busiest time of the season peaks two weeks before Christmas, when much of the last-minute shopping starts. Customer traffic is expected to increase beginning Dec. 7, with the week of Dec. 14-21 predicted to be the busiest mailing, shipping and delivery week.
Skip the Trip and Ship Online
Consumers don’t have to leave home to ship their packages. In these socially distant times, they can simply visit usps.com or use the Click-N-Ship feature for help shipping that holiday gift, ordering free Priority Mail boxes, printing shipping labels, purchasing postage and even requesting free next-day Package Pickup. And usps.com is always open.

Toys for Tots is a volunteer organization whose goal is to collect new, unwrapped toys for kids 0-16, and distribute them to children who would not otherwise receive a gift during the holiday season.
“For more than a decade, we’ve been helping Toys for Tots collect toys for children who might not otherwise get one,” said Post editor Judy Reed. “We are humbled and grateful at the community’s response to helping others in need, and hope everyone will consider giving to this program, which helps less fortunate children have a merrier Christmas.” The program runs now through December 14.

#JerryandMe helps fans share a special moment with President Ford statue, offers prizes
The newly unveiled statue of President Ford at Gerald R. Ford International Airport has become a quick hit with local visitors and travelers from around the world. To help these fans share their special moment with the Ford statue, the Airport has launched a social media campaign featuring the hashtag #JerryandMe.
The campaign encourages visitors to the Ford Airport to take a selfie with the statute and post it on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram using the hashtag #JerryandMe from today through December 31. The initiative also features prizes, with a randomly selected photo from each social media platform earning the creator a goodie bag from the airport.
The bronze statue is in a seated position, one arm lifted for embrace. A curved sandstone-inspired seating element complements the statue, creating a place for visitors to sit with President Ford while overlooking a global map etched into the concrete.
“We are pleased President Ford’s statue has been embraced by community members and travelers alike,” said Tory Richardson, Ford Airport Authority President and CEO. “The statue is inviting to all ages and is meant to encourage visitors to pause and pay tribute to the tremendous statesman and community advocate we had in President Ford.
“We hope this selfie campaign helps capture these special moments and helps build on our sense of community within and well beyond West Michigan.”
The statue was unveiled last month as part of the Grand Rapids Community Legends Project to honor the individuals who shaped the culture of and helped build West Michigan. The statue is the centerpiece of the newly dedicated Presidential Gateway Plaza, which provides a warm welcome to travelers from all over the world.
The late U.S. Ambassador Peter and Joan Secchia funded the Community Legends Project to recognize influential figures throughout the history of Grand Rapids and inspire others with their stories. The statue of President Ford is the Secchias’ gift to the Airport and all those who travel through it. The Gerald R. Ford International Airport Authority designed and funded the development of the Presidential Gateway Plaza.
During the unveiling ceremony, Community Legends Committee Chair Charlie Secchia said this about the statue: “It holds a special place in our family members’ hearts. Not only was President Ford an adept and insightful leader in a tumultuous time, he was Grand Rapids’ favorite son and someone my parents are honored to have called a friend. We could not be prouder to call him our own and to dedicate this memorial as part of the Community Legends Project.”
The statue is the 12th in the Community Legends series, which also features President Ford’s beloved wife, Elizabeth Anne “Betty” Bloomer Ford, as well as U.S. Sen. Lucius Lyon, Chief Noahquageshik, Lyman Parks, Anna Sutherland Bissell and Jay Van Andel.
Gerald Ford was a member of Congress for 25 years, where his reputation for integrity earned him the position of House Minority Leader from 1965 to 1973. He was appointed vice president by Richard M. Nixon in December 1973 and, following Pres. Nixon’s resignation in 1974, became the 38th president of the United States. During his presidency, he took action to stem inflation, pass the Freedom of Information Act and resolve unrest in the Middle East. He was an outspoken supporter of the Equal Rights Amendment. In 1999, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in honor of his public service in healing the nation after the turmoil of Watergate.

BOSTON (November 18, 2020) – The Thanksgiving travel season will be notably different this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. GasBuddy, the travel and navigation app used by more North American drivers to save money on gas, has released its 2020 Annual Thanksgiving Travel Survey, finding that only 35% of Americans will be taking to the roads this year, a decrease from 65% from last year, amidst some of the lowest Thanksgiving gas prices the country has seen in years.
The national average gas price is projected to be $2.17 per gallon, lower this year as oil prices plunged from year ago levels amidst depressed demand for gasoline due to the coronavirus keeping Americans closer to home and away from their normal driving routines.
“Gasoline demand has continued to struggle as the coronavirus has kept Americans in their homes and keys out of their cars, working and e-learning from home. But with positive outcomes from two vaccine trials, we’re beginning to see optimism return, leading prices to rise slightly just in time for Thanksgiving,” says Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “However, survey results show continued anxiety from motorists even with the lowest Thanksgiving gas prices in years, highlighting the challenges we’re facing in this pandemic.”
Nearly half (46 percent) of respondents in GasBuddy’s Annual Thanksgiving Travel Survey said that their travel plans are impacted by the coronavirus. When asked in what ways they were impacted, 71% said they are staying home instead of traveling this year. Five percent said they are not celebrating Thanksgiving this year due to the coronavirus. The remainder are either celebrating Thanksgiving at a different location this year (20%), or driving instead of taking other forms of transportation to their Thanksgiving destination (11%).
Yet low gas prices are luring people to travel more than ever before. Fifteen percent of those who said they are planning to travel said they are doing so to take advantage of gas prices, a significant jump compared to 6% of people saying the same last year and 2% in 2018.
Seventy-nine percent of people said that gas prices are not impacting their travel plans.
“Typically during the holidays, it’s all about traditions and less about the cost, even when gas prices were over $3, plenty of Americans didn’t hesitate to travel for Thanksgiving,” said DeHaan. “With Americans still concerned about traveling by plane, many families will take advantage of low prices and make a road trip when they otherwise wouldn’t.”
Those who are traveling are taking shorter trips than in years past, with survey results seeing a 75% increase in those who are traveling less than one hour to their Thanksgiving destination compared to 2019.
Cleanliness is a bigger concern for travelers this year when choosing a pitstop. Finding clean facilities has jumped to the third most important consideration when choosing a gas station compared to the fourth most important consideration in 2019, and the last spot in 2018. The top considerations for travelers when choosing a pitstop this year are gas prices (1), convenience (2), cleanliness (3), brand (4) and food options (5).

A Spencer Township man is facing charges in the shooting death of his neighbor’s Siberian Husky.
Matthew Goldsmith. Photo from Kent County Correctional Facility.
Matthew Goldsmith, 43, was arraigned in 63rd District Court on Monday, November 23, on one charge of killing/torturing an animal-third degree.
According to Cindy Holliday, Goldsmith’s neighbor on 19 Mile Rd, she was trying to put her dog, Kita, on a leash, on November 4, when she bolted. She called her friend, Laura Ensley, and they went to search for her. “We were standing right in front of his house calling for her when we heard her whine, and then heard the shot,” she said. “She was literally shot six yards from my driveway.”
Kita, whom Cindy said was an amazing, sweet dog that liked to run, did not survive.
“She didn’t deserve a bullet,” said Cindy. “She deserved a call to animal control and I would’ve dealt with it from there. But not a bullet.”
Cindy said that she had been on good terms with her neighbors before she got the dog. “They had my number. They could’ve called or texted and said, ‘Hey, your dog is over here.’ But they wouldn’t.”
Cindy had Kita for about four months before she was shot. She had gotten her from Laura, who had fostered her for about three weeks. During those four months, Kita had gotten away a few times.
At one point, she got off her leash and killed one of her neighbor’s chickens. Cindy didn’t know she had gotten off her leash until her neighbor came and told her what had happened. “I apologized and offered to replace one or more chickens, but she didn’t want to work anything out. Instead she just called animal control and said she wanted me to end up in court every time my dog got loose.”
Cindy explained to the Post that she didn’t just open the door and let the dog run. “She was always with me. And if she got away, I was always right nearby, calling and searching for her,” she said. She also took her for a run every day. She said she drove the quad while Kita ran alongside of her.
On the day of the shooting, Cindy said the neighbor’s chickens were in no danger, and were safe inside the chicken coop. “It is completely fenced in. Kita was not a threat,” she said.
When they found Kita, she said they also found Goldsmith with the gun in his hand.
“They feel no remorse,” said Cindy, about her neighbors. “I don’t understand how they think it’s ok to do something like that. I even told them we were working on getting a fence, but they didn’t care.”
Cindy said police have told her that these cases happen often with no resulting charges. “I think it’s fantastic he’s being charged,” she said. “There is no justification for what he did. We need to set an example.”
The felony charge is punishable by up to four years in prison and a $5,000 fine. Those convicted can be ordered to perform up to 500 hours of community service; the court may also order psychiatric evaluation. Goldsmith’s bond was set at $5,000 and he was released on his own personal recognizance. His next scheduled appearance is for probable cause conference on December 7 at 10:00 a.m.
Cindy also filed a PPO against Goldsmith because of the gun and the shooting in close proximity to them and her property.
The Post asked the Kent County Sheriff Office what residents should do if they run into a similar situation.
“The KCSO encourages all residents to contact Kent County Animal Control and their local law enforcement agency if they are dealing with a similar issue; whether they have a dog that is getting loose or if a neighbor’s dog is getting loose and coming onto their property,” said Sgt. Joy Matthews. “Seek help before the situation escalates and gets too severe. Both animal control and law enforcement have resources to assist. If a resident feels that someone has shot their dog unlawfully, we encourage them to report it immediately to Kent County Animal Control and their local law enforcement agency. The two agencies will work together to investigate the complaint to determine if there is legal justification to shoot the dog (i.e. attacking persons, pursuing/worrying/wounding livestock, poultry, etc.). Contact Kent County Animal Control at (616) 632-7300, report non-emergency incidents to the KCSO at (616) 632-6357, or call 9-1-1 for emergencies.”
