In 2006, 80% of civilian fire deaths and 76% of civilian fire injuries occurred in residential fires. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) reports that in the five year period from 2000 through 2004, there were an average of 372,200 residential fires each of the five years. These fires resulted in an average of 2,970 deaths, 14,390 injuries, and 5.6 billion dollars in property loss and damage. Cooking equipment is the leading cause of fires and fire related injuries, while smoking is the leading cause of fire deaths. Heating equipment ranked second in causes of fire related deaths. More than half of the reported residential fires happen between 11:00 pm and 7:00 am. Of all reported residential fires 24% started in the living room, family room, or den, while 23% started in a bedroom. NFPA also reports that in 49% of fires a smoke detector operated and alerted residents, while in 65% of fire deaths there was no working smoke detector present. The above numbers are staggering. The Walker Fire Department is urging its residents to be aware and practice fire safety. While we stand ready to respond to your emergency, we are equally dedicated to your safety and we want to help you be safe and prevent fires, injuries, and death. Please use the fire safety home inspection checklist that we have provided to measure the level of safety in your home. If you have any questions regarding the check list or you would like assistance with your safety check, please feel free to contact the Walker Fire Department at 791-6840.

The requirements to receive a permit are explained in Section 22.78 of the Walker Code of Ordinances, along with conditions and terms once issued (Sec 22.83). Under our ordinance a licensee is required to have the transient permit upon their person at all times while engaged in their business and must produce the license for inspection any time you ask. If you encounter a vendor that does not, or will not, produce the City permit/license, you are highly encouraged to refrain from conducting business with the person and immediately contact the Police Department to report the activity. If you call in the incident, you may remain anonymous by advising the dispatcher of the encounter as an informational "Be-on-the-lookout" for officers. If you encounter a City-licensed merchant/vendor and they refuse to honor your request to vacate your property, contact the Police Department for immediate assistance. In this instance the police will need to obtain your information, particularly your address, to respond and provide assistance and follow up for possible license revocation of the solicitor. Your information will not be shared with the vendor and will only be utilized for follow up purposes Any negative encounters you may have with transient merchants will also be added to the patrol officers' informational bulletins, for directive patrols and special patrol attention. Please feel free to contact the City Clerk (791-6865) or the Chief of Police (791-6800) with any questions you have regarding the Transient Merchant permits. To contact Police dispatch, please call 453-5441. City of Walker Planning Department CORRECTION ABOUT ROUNDABOUTS In the last newsletter I offered a few paragraphs about modern roundabouts and their increasing use in street design and intersection improvements. Don Faber caught an error I made. In the article I said, "Modern roundabouts also require a yielding to oncoming vehicles". What I should have said was, "modern roundabouts require those entering the circle to yield to vehicles already in the circle". The roundabout in Coopersville seems to be working well. People are still driving too quickly through it, though. The long lines of traffic at the peak hours seem to be greatly reduced. CABELA'S AND ORCHARD PARK UPDATE City staff continues to spend a significant amount of time on this project. We are working on multiple road issues with MDOT and the Kent County Road Commission. We are working on water and sewer issues with the City of Grand Rapids. We are working with the developer on numerous site design details. However, Cabela's recently decided to move the projected opening of the store from 2009 to 2010. Cabela's has been affected by the national downturn in the economy and decreased consumer spending on their products. The Orchard Park developer states that Cabela's remains committed to the site in Walker. Let's hope we see Cabela's in 2010. In the mean time, staff will continue to work with the developer to ensure that the site plan remains consistent with the overall City of Walker Master Plan and the concepts promised to the City for this project. WEBSITE UPDATES The City of Walker website is located at www.ci.walker.mi.us. We continue to upgrade the planning, zoning and economic development information available to the public through this website. We have added information about the Standale Downtown Development Authority (DDA). The DDA is working with two private developers to implement the updated "Downtown Standale" master plan. If you have ideas for ways to improve the website, please let me know. You can e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Frank Wash, AICP, PCP City of Walker Planning Director 4 City of Walker Engineering Department A CITIZEN'S GUIDE TO LAWN CARE Using healthy lawn care practices is one step toward cleaner streams and lakes - even if you don't have waterfront property. TIPS FOR MOWING Taller grass means a healthier lawn, and it's easier to maintain! Set your mower blade to leave about three inches of grass. Taller grass cools the soil, needs less water, and shades out weed growth. It's also more insect and disease resistant. Vary the direction of lawn mowing periodically to prevent wear patterns and soil compaction. TIRED OF RAKING YOUR LEAVES? MOW'EM! Mow tree leaves in the autumn instead of raking and bagging - just raise your mower height to accommodate! After a couple of passes with the mower, leaf pieces will slowly sift down through turf. It's an excellent way to return nutrients to the soil, and you can use them as mulch in your garden too! TIPS FOR WATERING Excessive watering is wasteful! Conserve water by using only what your lawn needs. • 15-20 minutes of sprinkling daily is better than a few heavy waterings throughout the week, according to research by Michigan State University. • If daily watering is impractical, 30-40 minutes of watering every other day is sufficient. • Make sure your sprinkler is watering your lawn - not your driveway or sidewalk! DON'T GUESS...SOIL TEST! Do not assume your yard needs fertilizer. Perform a soil test. You'll save money and reduce the chance of over-applying by only replacing the nutrients your soil needs. Michigan State University Extension offers soil nutrient testing for a nominal fee. To find out more, call the extension office in your area: 616-336-3265 (Kent County) or 616-846-8250 (Ottawa County). CHOOSE THE CORRECT FERTILIZER Over-fertilizing can contribute excessive amounts of pollutants to streams and lakes through the storm sewer. Without realizing it, many landowners are applying fertilizers and pesticides when their lawns don't even need them! If you do choose to fertilize, use slow-release fertilizers that provide a slow, steady source of nutrients for plants. This also prevents the big spurt of growth common with synthetic fertilizers. Slow-release fertilizers come in a variety of types, including organic, time-release, and coated. Avoid "weed-and-feed" mixtures, which contain herbicides to control weed growth and are often applied where they aren't needed. If healthy lawn care practices (correct mowing height and watering) are followed, weed control shouldn't be necessary. Be sure your mower is set to three inches to help shade out unwanted weeds. Walker Ice & Fitness Center 2008 WALKER PUMP & RUN The Walker Ice & Fitness Center will be holding its 3rd Annual Pump and Run competition on Saturday, March 29th.

Department of Public Works Continued on page 8 7 City of Walker Department of Public Works Continued POTHOLES Spring has arrived! With all the thawing and freezing, our roads take a beating and potholes are inevitable. We are always on the look out for potholes. Please help us by reporting any potholes to our office at 791-6854. DRIVEWAYS In the past several years, the Department of Public Works has received complaints about some of the contractors that are overlaying asphalt driveways. The method these contractors are using is stopping randomly at a resident's home and telling them they have leftover asphalt from another job and will give them a good deal to overlay their driveway. Our past experience has shown that it is not always a good deal. We encourage residents to get a quote from another contractor to compare prices. If the work performed will be in the City right of way, we recommend the resident ask if the contractor is licensed, bonded, and insured with the City of Walker and secures a permit. The permit is important because it gives us a chance to inspect underground utilities (drive culverts may need replacing) and to insure that the contractor does the work to City standards. It is required for the contractor to be licensed, bonded, insured and to obtain a permit. Please call us at 791-6854 to confirm if the contractor is licensed. ROAD CONSTRUCTION SAFETY It is that time of year, road construction. The orange color construction signs are going to start popping up. Please take into consideration that there are men and women doing their jobs in these work zones. So, please slow down. It is our goal to create a safe work zone for the workers and for the motoring public. ROADSIDE MOWING Usually, roadside mowing is done three times during the summer months. The first cut starts toward the end of May. This can depend on how wet of a spring and the growing season. We try to start when the vegetation is about 2 feet to 3 feet tall. We concentrate on mowing the roadside and also on drainage courses. The first cutting is completed by approximately July 4th. The second cutting usually starts in August. This cutting may be skipped if we have a dry season and the vegetation doesn't grow beyond 2 feet. The third cutting will start in September depending on the timing of the first or second cuttings. STREET SWEEPING Street sweeping starts in early spring. We start on the major roads first, then secondary roads, and finally residential roads. It takes an average of 4 to 6 weeks to complete a cycle. We sweep the entire City once in the spring and once in the fall. If we have a problem area, we will return, as needed. Please note: There is a dual purpose to street sweeping. It makes our City streets look good and it helps keep our lakes and streams cleaner of pollutants. We ask your cooperation and help by not blowing leaves, grass clippings and dirt into the roads. ADOPT-A-ROAD The City of Walker wants to work together with your group to Adopt-A-Road. This is similar to the Michigan Department of Transportation's Adopt-A-Highway Program. The purpose of Adopt-A-Road is to involve Walker citizens in keeping their local roads clean, safe and attractive. Your group can adopt as little as 1 mile and as much as 4 miles. Please call DPW 791-6854 for an information packet. Building Department Reminder It is Spring time again. The City of Walker Building Department would like to remind you of Section 90-3, Noxious weeds and other prohibited vegetation Ordinance which states: "No person shall maintain or allow to be maintained the growth of grasses, weeds, brush, underbrush, or other vegetation, to a height of more than 12 inches (or the accumulation of dead grasses, weeds, brush, underbrush, or other vegetation to a height of more than 12 inches) upon any lot within the City which is owned, leased, rented or occupied or possessed by the person." Please keep in mind the Clean Up Days May 1, 2, and 3 for any of that unwanted brush, junk, etc. you would like to get rid of in your yard. For your spring and summer projects such as swimming pools, decks, accessory buildings, etc. building permits are required. Please contact our department at (616) 791-6858 before you start your project to check for requirements. 8 City of Walker Clerk's Department PASSPORTS For your convenience, the City Clerk's office is open from 8:00am until 4:30pm, Monday through Friday for passport services.

ESTIMATED PAYMENTS Tax Year 2007: If you owe more than $100 with your 2007 return due April 30, 2008 and you have not paid in at least 70% of your current or prior year liability through estimates, credits or withholding, you will be receiving a bill for penalty and interest. The fourth quarter payment for 2007 was due on January 31, 2008. Tax Year 2008: If your employer does not withhold Walker Income Tax or you have non-wage income (rental income, capital gains, premature pension distributions, etc.) that is subject to tax and you will owe more than $100 with your 2008 return, you must make quarterly estimated payments. The 2008 Quarterly Estimated payment vouchers with instructions can be found: • In the 2007 Resident Forms and Instructions booklet • On our web site at www.ci.walker.mi.us/incometaxforms • By mail--call us at 616-791-6880 The first quarter estimated payment for 2008 Walker Income Tax is due April 30, 2008. WHO MUST FILE Every resident or part-year resident of Walker (this includes renters) who has taxable income in 2007 of $750 or more must file a return. Married persons may file either a joint return or separate returns. There seems to be quite a bit of confusion, especially among renters, over whether or not they are Walker residents. All Walker addresses have Grand Rapids mailing addresses. Visit the following link on the Walker website to check whether your address is within the city limits of Walker. Walker street directory: http://www.ci.walker.mi.us/Departments/Assessor/StreetDirectory.htm EXTENSION REQUESTS If you are unable to gather the data required to complete your 2007 tax return by the April 30, 2008 due date, you may file for a six-month extension using form WXT. This form is available for download at www.ci.walker.mi.us/incometaxforms. The extension request is due by April 30, 2008. Please note: this is an extension to file, not an extension to pay. You must estimate carefully the amount you owe, if any, and include the required payment with the extension request. Please see the form for more instructions and call 616-791-6880 if you have any questions. REQUIRED ATTACHMENTS During the 2006 filing season, a large number of returns that were completed using tax preparation software designed for home use (TurboTax, Tax Cut, etc,) were missing required attachments. Please read the face of the form carefully. Frequently the requirement to attach a federal form, schedule or other City form is shown on the return itself and not listed in the instructions. The required attachments may not automatically print. A worksheet printed by the software will not satisfy the requirement to attach a form or schedule. For example, if you are a resident taking a credit for tax paid to Grand Rapids, the worksheet printed by the software to calculate this credit must also be accompanied by a copy of page one of the Grand Rapids non-resident return. Please see page two of the Walker resident return for a list of required attachments. Missing attachments will delay the processing of your return. If the missing attachment relates to credits or deductions, we will not send a request for the missing document, but will disallow the credit or deduction and send a notice of proposed assessment. For example, if you take a credit for tax paid to another City and fail to attach a copy of the other City's return, we will disallow the credit and send a notice of proposed assessment. After receiving a notice of proposed assessment, you have 30 days to file a written protest with the income tax administrator. If you do not file a written protest, the assessment will become final 30 days after you receive it. You will not have another opportunity to provide the missing information or to reduce the assessment after this time period has elapsed. Please respond promptly to all correspondence from the Income Tax Department. 10 Income Tax Department Continued on page 11 City of Walker Income Tax Department Continued EMPLOYER WITHHOLDING A company is required to withhold Walker income tax from an employee's pay if the company has a location in the City of Walker. A company must also withhold Walker tax if they are doing business in the City of Walker even though the company has no location in the City. Companies outside of the City of Walker are not required to withhold Walker tax but may voluntarily do so as a convenience to their employees. Call Nancy at 791-6869 or visit the following link on the Walker website to request a New Employer Package. New employer package request: http://www.ci.walker.mi.us/Departments/IncomeTax/DepartmentOverview.htm 2008 EMPLOYER WITHHOLDING BOOKLETS We are no longer mailing withholding booklets with preprinted W-501 (monthly) and W-941 (quarterly) payment vouchers. Employers must print their withholding booklets from the Walker website at www.ci.walker.mi.us. Please call 616-791-6880 if you have questions. BUSINESS TAXES In addition to filing and paying withholding taxes on employees working in Walker, businesses are also subject to Walker income tax. Sole proprietors that file a Schedule C for Federal income tax purposes must also report this income on their individual Walker returns if the business is located in Walker or has activity within the City limits. Corporations located in or doing business in Walker must file form W-1120 to calculate tax due on the income apportioned to Walker. Partnerships located in or doing business in Walker must file form W-1065 to report the amount of partnership income apportioned to each resident or non-resident owner. Partnerships have the option to pay the Walker income tax on behalf of all owners as well. If you have any questions regarding filing requirements for businesses, please call Julie Blok at 791-6866 or e-mail email@example.com for more information.

DenHagan Shares POETRY FROM THE HEART
Wordsmith DenHagan has been writing poems in various phases of his life. In his new book, "Poetry from the Heart," he shares a collection of poetic musings which he wrote during a memorable time in his life. The book dazzles in the range of themes that it examines but with the poet's unique voice, each poem becomes immediate and relevant.
"Poetry from the Heart" contains over twenty-eight different types of poetry, with explanations and examples of each type. Many of his poems are romantic, such as "My Beloved," "Ode to Melissa," "To Love a Woman," "My Heart's Desire," "Love," and "My Love." Others are inspirational, like "Forgiveness," "Hope," "The Seven Virtues," "Empathy," and "Kindness." There are also poetic pieces that are philosophical like "Living," "True Freedom," "Who Knows What Tomorrow Brings," and "The State of the Economy." Poems like "Life" could be said to be both inspirational and philosophical. Ultimately, all of the poems tell a compelling story of life and all the moments, emotions, experiences and lessons that make it more meaningful.
A journey for the soul and senses, "Poetry from the Heart" is proof positive of the power of poetry to comfort, inspire and even transform. Poetry lovers will be glad to include this volume in their collection.

About the Author
DenHagan is a veteran of the United States Air Force who recently graduated from the University of the Louisville with a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics and a minor in Finance.

After finishing his senior year at college in the summer of 2012, he added more poems to the collection.

The Grand Whiz Hotel Nusa Dua welcomed its new employees prior to conducting the grand opening. Such welcoming ceremony was carried out in person by the Director of Operations of the PT Intiwhiz International, Endang Mulyadi, at the local hotel, Wednesday (May 1).
Faried as Corporate Human Resources of the Intiwhiz International said there were 75 employees welcomed on the first time. They would fill in the vacant positions of various levels, aside from 5 position filled by a joint team of the Grand Whiz Hotel Kuta. "Hopefully, the grand opening ceremony can be conducted in June 2013," he said.
Among the new employees, explained Faried, a total of 80 percent was native Balinese, while the others were from various cities in Java. The event was to provide an understanding about the Grand Whiz and to know one another, both between superiors and the subordinates. "The welcoming event is also used as the pre-opening," he added.

A local filmmaker is trying to raise money to finish a documentary highlighting the murder of a Lehigh County woman.
A kick-off to the fundraising campaign was held Wednesday afternoon at the Goggleworks in Reading.
"Finding Jenn's Voice" looks at the issue of intimate partner homicide, a leading cause of death during pregnancy.
In 2011 authorities say Jennifer Snyder and her unborn child were shot and killed by her boyfriend.
"We were just coming out of Scott and Lacey Peterson on the nightly news for five years, and nobody was talking about this statistic," filmmaker Tracy Schott said.
69 News provided some of the footage for the documentary.
You can learn more about the film and how you can help on the documentary's website.

It's been awhile since I have shared my money saving tips for Disneyland. I figured it would be good to do a recap plus add some other ideas I've found!
If you've missed Part I and Part II, you may find them here:
Here are some other tips which will save you money for your Disneyland vacation:
Stay at a Good Neighbor Hotel - While certainly staying onsite at Disneyland will be an amazing, memorable experience (and there are many reasons to stay onsite which I address in another article here), it just is not in the budget for everyone or for every trip (if you visit as much as I do). Staying at a Good Neighbor Hotel within walking distance of Disneyland Resort not only saves you on accommodations, but it also saves you on the daily parking fee charged by Disneyland.
Visit Disneyland Before Your Child Turns 3 - Did you know that kids under 3 are free? As long as they are not three years old, they can be 2 and 364 days old and still get into Disney for free. :) Plus, if you do any character meals your under-3-year-old can eat off your plate for free, saving you additional dollars!
Another tip... Visit Disneyland Before Your Child Turns 10 - Once your child turns 10, your child will need an adult ticket. If you visit before the age of 10, you will only have to pay for a child ticket for your child.
Order Light Up Wands and Necklaces Online - I always buy light up rings in bulk on Amazon in quantities of 12 or 24 and bring them with me to Disney. My kiddo loves to brighten up (literally) the nights of other kids by giving out these inexpensive light up accessories. She even made a friend that we have since visited in San Diego because she gave her a light up ring! The cost of a dozen of these rings is about the cost of 1 or 2 of them a the parks, so you can light up your whole family for cheap!
Get the Newspaper - When you arrive into Anaheim, stop by a grocery store or newspaper stand and pick up a copy of the paper. Often, you can find money saving coupons that you can use around Anaheim and even in Downtown Disney!
Start a Pressed Penny Tradition - A much more affordable souvenir is the pressed penny. Disney has LOADS of different designs. For 51 cents, you have a cheap souvenir that you can get the kids excited about before the trip. They can find their shiniest pennies and start grouping them with two quarters. Then you can sort of make a scavenger hunt out of finding the machines. They can pick their favorite ones. It is a fun tradition and is much cheaper than collecting Disney Pins. TIP: Those little mini M&M tubes make great containers for putting in your change. I stack mine in groups so they are easy to dispense.
I hope these tips help you on your next trip to Disneyland!
I can help you with even more individualized tips when you book your trip with me at no fee to you!

The mundane is in league against me.
I'm seeing someone, so I am not here for cupid. If there were an okbacchus, I'd be on that instead. If you've found that I've rated you 4-5 stars, that is because I've liked what you've WRITTEN in your profile, and not because I am presuming to date around. I wish I did not need to be so explicit about this, but I get a LOT of homophobic insults hurled my way when I look at men's profiles.
I just got a tumblr for writings, musics, and such:

Marshall Rowland Shares Country Music Career in New Memoir
In "Fertilizer 'tween My Toes" (published by iUniverse), author Marshall Rowland shares a lifetime of wisdom and experience with readers as he recounts the highlights and hardships of his life and career in country music, including his memories of meeting legends such as Elvis Presley, Pat Boone, Andy Griffith and many other country music stars.
Inspired by encouragement from his friends, "Fertilizer 'tween My Toes" is Rowland's moving rags-to-riches story set in southern Georgia and northern Florida. Rowland grew up during the 1930's with very little formal education and no parental guidance, but his spirit and determination propelled him onto bigger and better things.
After moving out to rural Georgia, Rowland met Henry Wiggins, who introduced him to country music. So touched by the music, Rowland decided his lack of education and financial means was not going to hinder him. He left the countryside and began his successful career in country music.
Readers will join Rowland as he meets some of country music's legends throughout his career. Rowland remembers his time in a hillbilly band following Ray Charles and the highlights of his career as a disc jockey, including a very special interview with Elvis Presley himself.
Rowland hopes readers facing poverty and lack of education will find his story inspiring. He advises his readers to better themselves for their families, above all.

Yours sincerely,
Klaus Kabelitz
General Manager
Nice setting, in sommer even outside seating. Extensive menu selection. All the usual nice appetizers, etc - the creations on the plate are nice, the service polite (even if some French origin waiters can't leave the snob-appeal on the border).
High prices contributes to the customer selection
Only a few steps from the lakefront
Dear Guest,
Thank you very much for your visit to our restaurant Le Jardin and your feedback.

Assuring you of a very warm welcome by the team when...
The restaurant is not the most attractive it is rather old fashioned and the windows are narrow, when sitting down there is nothing to see. We were seated and told where the buffet was situated.
As it was New Year's Day we decided a glass of champagne would be in order. The buffet was not very large with only two...
Dear Guests,
Thank you very much for your feedback regarding your visit to our restaurant Le Jardin for New Year's brunch buffet.

Deligthfull lunch menu at 62CHF with a superb bar tartare fresh and tasty followed by a filet of Cabillau cooked to perfection. The pineapple carpaccio as a dessert was splendid.
My friends choice were the snails feuilleté as an entrée and then the scallops with truffles and gnocchi: a pure pleasure!
The wine list is decent price wise.
Thumbs up...

Hoping to have the pleasure of meeting you next time,
This restaurant, at Hotel de Richmonde, is a delight. The weather was warm, with some light drizzle and distant lightning. For us, that's perfect to sit outside, dry under the awning, watching the assorted exotic cars come and go from the Hotel. The wine, the food and the service were impeccable. A delightful evening.
Dear Guests,
Thank you very much for your delightful comments following your visit to the terrace of our restaurant Le Jardin. They have been immediately passed on to our Chefs and the team.
I hope that you will have another opportunity to come back again and enjoy our Autumn menu and the beautiful weather of indian summer.

I have known this place for the last 20yrs. We were a very small group of fiends for dinner. As the place is known for their Dover Sole and other great dishes. We were welcomed by a very unfriendly staff, we had to negotiate to get the table we wished to have (the place was empty). We got our menus,...
