Hasting* announced it had gamed support nf w directors, officers, and "families and friends of the company ’ who owned 35 per cent of the stocx Hastings businessmen then set out Io purchase stock to counter the offer, and a federal district court issued a temporary restraining order that stopped the McCord offer By that time, of course. McCord executive* had realized that there was no welcome mat awaiting them in Hastings "We had intended to retain Hie managemenl and goodwill of the people.' a McCord executive said, "but there was building up a bitterness and we don't like to operate that way '' Against that background. McCord announced that it was giving up its attempt at takeover The action by Hasting* resident* showed a loyalty which or­ dinarily does not attach to a business operation Hastings citizens rightly view the company as being "home grown" despite the fact that more than a million shares of the firm's common stock are listed on the American Slock Exchange The loyalty to Hastings Manufacturing to due to what local residents consider the civic-minded nature of the Stephen Johnson family The founding family, and it* heirs, have been active in com­ munity project* such a* building bridges and hospitals The record of McCord does not indicate that the company would divest itseU from that type of community betterment role But lUitmg* citizen* were not willing to take that chance.

December 27, 1973 Board Adopts Modified Barry Land Use Plan At their Dec. 17 meeting, memben of the R»rry County pj-n nlng Commission, after con­ sideration of comments received at (he Dec. 10 public bearing, modified and adopted the Barry County Land Use Plan. CITIZENS’ OPINIONS Listed below are the acnrral citizen remarks, along with the Planning Commissions comment or action, resulting from the public hearing on the Land Use Plan l. Several people were generally opposed to any land use controls that would restrict their individual right to use their land as they please. Comment: The alternative, le. no land use controls, is generally unacceptable. Land use controls are a socially and Icgs'ly ac­ cepted method of protecting the right of the people through con­ sideration for their health, safety, and general welfare. It is for this reason that the courts have upheld zoning as being con­ stitutional. Without land use con­ trols there would be Utile or no recourse left to the citizen land owner when an undesireable or incompatible land use is proposed or introduced into the neighborhood Without land use controls, the general public and land owners would be exposed to random and haphazard develop­ ment which in the long run would jeopardize their individual rights and values 2. Many of the farm operators felt that property tax legislation is needed which would encourage the farmer to continue fanning. Comment: The Planning Com­ mission concurs in principle and has agreed to formulate a resolution, which would be forwarded to the Governor, and which would encourage action by the State Legislature to consider and pass such legislation. 3. Several people expressed an opinion that tlie one dwelling per 40 acre provision in the prime agricultural area is unreasonable in that it restricts their right to sell the farm or to sell off (or deed to family heirs) small parcels if they so desire. Other people in­ dicated that the 40 acre provision was too small and that a larger Comment: After considerable discussion the Planning Com­ mission voted to retain the one dwelling per 40 acre planning fac­ tor in the prime agricultural area, however, it will be recognized in the Land Use Plan that provisions must be made to accommodate use of the land by family members, hired hands, heirs and other extenuating cir­ cumstances that may become ap­ parent at a later date. The basic rationale for retaining the 40 acre Gvision is based on a sincere ief that most people, including Ihe farm owners in the prime agricultural area, agree in prin­ ciple that something must be done to retain the prime agricultural land. Increasing the acreage factor was rejected as being unnecessarily restrictive. Decreasing the factor was not acceptable as it was felt that this would encourage buyers to buy and sellers to sell. It was acknowledged that a few w -v.c parcels may be sold for non­ farm, single family dwelling pur­ poses however this is considered as being the exception to the rule. ’ 4. Some citizens remarked that the plan should go further to preserve woodlands and scenic beauty areas; and that the em­ phasis should be on restricting growth of tl»e County rather than planning for growth Com tn ent: The Planning Commioinn provided for preser­ vation of woodlands and scenic beauty areas through Use use area titled "Environmentally Unique Land Conservation Area". Also, the objective of the Plan is to provide for orderly growth but not to completely ex­ clude growth. The projected J;rowth rate ot me county orecasts approximately 87.500 Foye 15 THtHASTWGSlANNCT to a referendum procedure which must be initiated by the people 6. Miscellaneous. a.

Burton &amp; Co. were listed as the proprietors of the "Republican Banner", which first appeared here on May 1, 1856, with Dr. C. S. Burton as the publisher and Norman Bailey as editor.<br /><br />Publication office was on the second floor of the Rower Block, whose address was given as "corner of State and Church"; which corner was not specified.<br /><br />The objective of this publication was to win support for the newly created Republican party and thus counteract the influence of the Barry County Pioneer, a Democratic journal that had been published here since 1851. No copies of the first three issues of The Banner were saved.<br /><br />Make-up on the first journal corresponded with a pattern typical of most local journals then published. Page one contained a few columns of advertising, fiction (often a continued story), and a short feature of no particular news value. Page one was the "literary" page.<br /><br />Page two contained the editorial barbs, along with state news, political articles, Washington items and news of the national and territorial giovernments. Page three contained a few items of local news, sandwiched inbetween the local and foreign news.<br /><br />Page four was usually solid with advertising and as such was the editor's "bread and butter" page....Locally it was the pattern until the early 1880s.<br /><br />Several changes in ownership and management occurred during the first two years of publication, with J. M. Nevins taking over ownership interests on July 16, 1857. With the issue of May 7, 1862, "The Republican Banner" became "The Hastings Banner". Editor Nevins thought the village had developed sufficiently during the past several years to merit this recognition.<br /><br />Another major change in the management of The Banner came when Nevins sold the newspaper to George M. Dewey of Niles on March 14, 1866, who then took over as editor and publisher. Dewey, an ardent Republican and somewhat of a crusader, gave considerable space to editorial comment and party affairs and also directed pointed paragraphs against the saloons and local traffic in liquor. Dewey was the grandfather of Thomas E. Dewey, Republican presidential nominee in 1944 and 1948. Editor Dewey on May 4, 1870 changed the format (and name) of the paper to "Hastings Republican Banner". <br /><br />A fire in December 1883 burned The Banner plant (located in the middle of the block on the north side of State St. across from the courthouse). Files and back issues from August 1880 to December 1883 and the January 4, 1884 issues are missing.<br /><br />The Banner was purchased by Marshall L. Cook and George Bower on July 21, 1880. They changed the name to "The Hastings Banner". M. L. Cook soon became the sole owner and remained so until July 7, 1887 when Albert Nishern (M. L.'s brother-in-law) joined him. Albert Nishern sold his interest on November 6, 1889 to William Cook (M. L.'s younger brother).<br /><br />The Cook brothers partnership held together (56 years) ... Richard Cook followed his father into the newspaper business, and Richard's son William joined him. So the Cook family ownership continued for 85 years, from 1880 to 1974, when Richard and William sold the paper to High Fullerton. J-Ad Graphics became the owners of "The Hastings Banner" in August of 1981. Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.
