The structure, over 100 years old, served at one I ime as a regular stopping station for Magecoach service between Grand Rapids and Hastings. Discovery of the fire, which started at approximately 3:30 a.m. Sunday, was made by two of the occupants of the hotel who were playing cards at the time. According to Dennis Parker, owner of the build­ ing, the two men playing cards reported hearing an explosion, followed by the loss of electricity on the upper floor of the three floor structure. A search of the building revealed the presence of smoke on the lower levels of the building, but no flames were seen at this time. A few minutes later. Wendy Parker. 11. daughter of Dennis was awakened by the smell of smoke, and the family, living on the top floor of the hotel, together with the two occupants of the hotel aroused the sleeping occupants of five other rooms, and managed to evacuate the structure without incident. Parker reported he, his wife and t hree children went to bed about 12:30 a.m.. and there was nothing amiss at Collection Workshop Set Jan 13 •he rime. The lounge area, located a few Ire, below street level had closed prior to 'he outbreak of the fire, and luckily was unoccupied. The fire started on ’he gr< und floor of the structure near the kitchen area of the lounge. The area boused the central heating system, electrical fuse panels, and the hot water heaters of the building, which will make ihe exact ciruse of the fire difficult to determine. The Hotel had nine rttoms. but only seven were occupied at the time of the fire, and while forced!o evacuate the burning build­ ing in 30 below zero weal her. no one was injured. In addition to the hotel and lounge, a barber shop housed in the building was completely destroyed by the fire. Called to the blaze were fire fighting units from Hastings. Middleville. Caledonia. Wayland. Hickory Corners, Nashville. Delton. Freeport, and Woodland. Firemen were still at the scene, pumping water into a section of the building still burning at 7:00 a.m. Monday morning. The only injury reported was that of a Caledonia fireman, Chuck Root man, who slipped on the ice and injured his back. He was taken to Pennock Hospital, and transferred to Blodgett Hospital. The extent of his injury will not be known until x-rays are read by physicians. There is no estimate as to the amount of damage to building, but owner Dennis Parker figured it would cost $750,000 to replace the three story building. The structure was partially covered by insurance, but t he loss of personal contents of the building's occupants will not be known until a complete inventory can be taken. Shown here is the result of sub zero weather acting on the water pumped on the fire that destroyed the historic Middleville Hotel and Cooper Door IxHinge, early Sunday morning.

Woodland Town Hall a Bit of History The first floor of the Woodland Town Hall has l.l-loot ceilings and the original large wnod stove for ••central" heat. The stately appearance of Woodland Township Hall, a white, two-story frame building standing serenely among giant maple trees al the center of Woodland Village, belies its agitated gestation during the years 1867 to 1870. The town hall remains exactly as it was built, with two exceptions, wooden voting booths were added sometime on the first floor and a rear outside stairway was removed several years ago. There were but several hundred residents in the township during the years of the construction and the im­ pressive dimensions of the “town house" reflect their aspirations: 48 feet long by 30 feet wide, and ceilings of 13 feet first floor and more than eight feet second floor. A records room on the second floor contains voting and township records dating hack to 1842. the inception of the township. An unguarded stairway to the second floor is six feet wide. A huge free­ st anding wood stove provides the sole source of heat; it is six feet high and two and one half feet at the grate. “E. Bement & Sons. Lansing. Mich." is noted as the manufacturer. A succession of township clerks carefully, impassively and, at times, candidly wrote the story of the build­ ing of "town hall" in the township General Record. Milo T. Wheeler, Supervisor, chaired the town board on April 1. 1867. when it voted to build a ’ town house" and to raise $500 the "present year towards building said house.' Four days later the building committee was appointed to draw up a plan of the "town .house" and to report it in May. Serving on t he commit tee were George Cramer. George Davenport, Alanson P. Holly. John Hol­ brook and Ira Stowell. On May 9, the plan was adopted and the board voted to raise $25 to buy the site for the house. Instructions for the committee were given by the board two days later. The board voted to issue township bonds for building "the town hall” (town house and town hall were exchangeable terms for the building), not to exceed $1,500. to draw 7% interest. One $250 bond was to be issued “when the roof is on said house," one $500 was issued payable in 1868 and the balance of the bonds were to be issued when the house was completed, stated to be March 15. 1868. Even al this ezrly stage, the clouds of controversy were swirling, for in the left' margin of the township clerk’s journal was written vertically “Said action of township Board was found to be unlawful and there­ fore null and void." The spirit of active demq; cracy was duly recorded by the clerk who wro'e on June 8 that sixteen freeholders (five of them were the build­ ing committee) requested him to call a meeting of fhe taxable property holding electors for the purpose of raining $500 by lax. "in addition to the $500 voted at the lat annual meeting, in the present year and to apply towa. ..s completing the Woodland Township Hall." The signers were Samuel Stowell. L.F. Hofer. M. Buitenger. M. Row land­ er. David B. Coville. Law-' rence Hilbert, John Durkee. R.B. Rawson. John Simon. John A. Scott and William McArthur. The town board met on June 11 and ordered a special township meeting to be held at the center of the township on June 24 "instant" for the voting. The statement of votes given June 24 was: “For the money. Yes, 70 and for the Money, No. 86. Majority against raising the Mrney was Sixteen." Or. November 20 the Clerk recorded that L. Hil­ bert was paid $25 "for the let to set Town House," the building committee. * xcept Ira Stowell, who was a commissioner on the board, were paid for their ser­ vices $4.50, $11, $6, variously, and on December 28 George M. Davenport was paid $500 for framing Town Hall. The year 1868 brought forth ominous signs that all was not well in building town hall. At the annual meeting April 6. a new supervisor. Alanson P. Holly, was elected and it was voted to raise $810.52 to apply towards completing the Town Hall building. "For the money. Yes. 138; For the (Continued on page 5| �THEHAST1XGSBASNER. Mon.

The Hastings Banner “Barry County’s Largest Newspaper” Milk Production Expected to Continue Rise Milk production is expected to continue rising in 1981. following a 3-,/z percent gain this year to a record 128 billion pounds. With little change in fluid sales expected, milk avail­ able for manufacturing will also increase. Even with more favorable demand con­ ditions. USDA purchases of dairy products under the price support program will continue heavv during most of 1981. The dairy herd increased in size this summer and fall since culling rates have been low and a relatively large number of heifers have bgpn retained for replacements. Income conditions for dairy­ ing have been favorable relative to other farm enterprises and off farm employment opportunities. Milk cow numbers are expected to remain slightly above year-earlier levels through most of 1981. Output cow has also increased, up an average of about 3 percent for all of 1980. Gains in output per cow are expected to moderate in 1981. Feed prices sharply above a yar earlier will more than offset increases in milk prices, and milk-feed price relationships in 1981 will not be as favorable as they have been in recent years. This will likely slow gains in concentrate feeding rates which could hold gains in output per cow to about 2 percent. Therefore. 1981 milk production gains should be up 1 to 3 percentthe second record pro­ duction year in a row. Commercial stocks of butter and cheese are adequate for trade needs, and with the lare supply of milk for manufacturing it is likely that wholesale butter and cheese prices this winter will remain near the support purchase price. However, these prices will advance next spring because of the April 1. 1981 man­ dated increase in milk sup­ port prices. Increases in farm milk and retail dairy product prices will follow. Wholesale prices of dairy products advanced 2.3 per­ cent from August to October and were 9.3 percent above a year ago during October. Retail dairy product prices during October were 9.1 percent above a year earlier, while the all-food retail price index was up 10.2 percent. For 1981, retail dairy prices are expected to be up 10 to 12 percent while the allf<M)d retail index is fore­ case to average 10 to 15 percent higher. The manufacturing grade milk price in November, at $12.90 per 100 pounds, was 10 percent above year ago levels. For all of 1980. the manufacturing grade milk pr’ce will likely average $12.03 up 8.6 percent from 1979. Meanwhile, the all milk price for November, at $14.00 per 100 pounds, was about 8 'percent above last year. The all milk price will likely average near $13.04 for the entire year-up 8.7 percent from 1979. In 1981, farm milk prices will be affected by ihe April 1, support price increase, the established support level fur Oct. 1. and supply and demand. The all-milk price for next year will likely be up 10 to 12 percent. Given the expected milk production and price ranges for 1981. total cash receipts may rise 11 to 15 percent from the $16-1/3 billion ex­ pected for 1980. Production of manufact­ ured dairy products used 8.5 percent (850 million pounds) more milk during Sept.-Oct. than in 1979. Butter pro­ duction expanded by a fifth while output of both Amer­ ican cheese and other-thanAmerican varieties was 7.4 percent above yearearlier levels. On the strength of September sales, commercial disappearance of milk and dairy products during the July-September quarter was unchanged from a year ago. However, pre­ liminary data indicate that use during October was down 2.4 percent-with butter off 12 percent and American cheese down 5.5 percent, while other-thanAmerican cheese use was up 10.6 percent. Industry holdings of dairy products on Nov. 1 were generally below yearearlier levels. However, commercial stocks of butter were up a tenth. On Nov. 1, commercial stocks of milkfat and solids-not-fat were down 2 percent and 10 percent, respectively. Meanwhile, on Dec. 1, Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) uncom­ mitted inventories of butter were 274 million pounds, compared with 145 million last year. American cheese inventories, at 184 million pounds, were up sharply from the 20 million pounds of a year ago. For the first 10 months of i980. U.S. dairy product imports, on a milk equi­ valent basis, were l-'/j billion pounds, 9 percent below a year ago. However, these imports picked up sub­ stantially during Sept .-Oct. Of quota import items, cheese, chocolate crumb, and dried buttermilk and whey were up sharply in Sept. Oct. while butter, ice cream, were lower. World milk production for 1981 will likely be slightly larger than 1980. Stocks of dairy products will increase since worldwide production may grow more than consumpt ion.

Enjoy Michigan Winter Beauty Bv HUGH FULLERTON Banner Publisher Who would think that Michigan wooclands are really at their prettiest when the leaves are off the trees’ It was true this past week, when the wet snow for a few days earlier stuck to the tree branches and decorated them as no artist or holiday decorator could do. My daughter and I took a little ski tour of Sweezy’s pond and the hills behind it on New Years Day, and the views were breathtaking. With every turn in the trail there was new beauty. Her six year-old mind imagined snakes hanging from the branches, where the wet snow had slid into a loop and then refroze. This made the trip even more exciting to her. For myself, it was an esthetic experience It never ceases to delight me that such beauty and primeval quiet can exist so close to our chy. Skiing one day last week, my wife saw a deer just a few yards up the hill from Sweezy’s Pond. We weren't the only ones enjoying the local ski trails. There were many others out that afternoon, and the trails are in fine shape after that many skiers have packed the snow and formed the groves. Snow means good times for skiers but tough times for birds. So business has really picked up at our bird feeders, too. Nothing unusual, but lots of goldfinches, cardinals, chickadees, etc. As in some past winters, we have a pair of tree sparrows. Every winter these birds fool me. and I think I'm seeing a chipping or field sparrow But the good bird book says those species should be far to the south by now and a closer look reveals the spot in the middle of the breast which’ differentiates the tree sparrow from its look-alikes. Incidentally, if you're really into birding, take a look a» the new edition of Peterson's Field Guide to the Birds. Your Muser has been using Peterson's previous editions for more than 30 years, and has worn out a couple copies. So I was excited when this famous naturalist and artist published an all-new edition last year. The pictures (which he personally painted) are better than the previous editions, and the book is better organized. It's not cheap-l think my first copy cost $3.95, and it now sells for $15. But it has many more pages of color illustrations than earlier editions, and appears to be well-made for long use. Books Etc. in Hastings reports that it sold out of the book before Christmas, but has more on order. EDITORIAL Pennock Is Short-Sighted In Denying Admissions Publication In refusing to allow newspapers tu publish the names of patients admitted to the hospital, the directors of Pennock are going along with an unfortunate trend to restrict the public's right to information. We also think that the directors and administrator have over-reacted to a particular incident, which did not involve the admissions information policy. We understand that too often, someone wants to sue over an innocuous incident. Even if the suit has no merit, it costs a hospital, a business or an individual plenty to defend themselves. But this cost should be weighed against the public's right to know. Pennock Hospital is ne t an ordinary business, whose affairs are only the business of its owners and employees. Pennock Hospital is a quasi­ public institution, operated for the benefit of the people of Barry County. As a non­ profit institution, it enjoys various tax breaks and other advantages. In return, it has a responsibility to be answerable to the public. We feel that the restriction on publishing the names of those admitted is unnecess­ ary. For some time, the press has not been given the names of those who ask that they be withheld. So now the hospital is with­ holding the names of those who would willingly have them published. The Michigan Hospital Association, the state- trade association for hospitals, has stated that generally, the hospital may legally and ethically release the names of patients admitted, and their condition, without the patients' consent. In a booklet entitled "Guidelines For Hospital Release Of Patient Information To the News Media," published just this year, the hospital association states, ''Under ordinary circumstances, ackowledgement of a patient's admission and condition may be made without the patient's consent, and the acknowledgement of admission would reveal this fact, no such acknowledgement should be made. If a patient specifically requests that the admission not be made public, tne request will be honored." This policy makes sense, and it is essentially what Pennock has been doing for years, without objection. Pennock now enjoys an excellent reputation in the area. It has also enjoyed a highly sympathetic press and a lot of public support, as the last building project demonstrated, h would be sad for the hospital to cut lines of communication and shut out the public, possibly damaging this rapport. We urge the directors to reconsider this policy. Was It a Policeman? If it wasn't a policeman, who was it? Local law enforcement officials are scratching their heads over an incident the other day. Mark Anderson of Hastings reported to State Police he was stopped early in I he morning by a car last week, as he was driving West through Hastings on State Rd., in what he believed to be a legitimate police matter. Anderson said he saw a vehicle parked at a side stree* in Hastings as he approached the inter section, and noticed the car did not have any headlights turned on. As Anderson continued on State Rd., the parked vehi<ie proceeded to foUow him. but at this time, the driver not only was using his headlights, but also a flashing red light. Believing the trailing car to be an emergency vehicle. Anderson pulled off to ‘he side of Ihe road. The driver stopped behind him and approached Anderson asking, "Do you know how fast you were going?' The driver, still unidentified, asked Anderson for his drivers license, and auto­ mobile registration. Ander­ son produced the documents, and the man took them to his car. where he remained for a couple of minutes. Returning to Anderson's car, the man returned the papers, saying, “Weil we sure don't have much on you, so I am going to let you go" Anderson said the man t hen got into his car and was last seen driving North on Hammond Rd. The man never did say whet her or not he was a law enforcement officer, but Anderson reported he was driving a medium colored green 1973 Oldsmobile Toranado. Neither State Police or Hast ings City Police officials know if the man was a police officer, and if not. why he pulled the stunt on Ander­ son. Voice of the People To the Editor: The sun is rising in the winter sky again, and it is time for the crazies to come out of the woods and kick the skunks. Chrysler Corporation falls in the latter category. As a former owner of one of their cars told me. "They deserve Io go bankrupt." A publication that holds itself in high esteem com­ pared a K-car and a Toyota. (Ground goat meat, properly prepared, is as g<MHi as hamburger.) The publication had difficulty finding a K-car that was properly prepared, in eng ineering and assembly. An organization »f over regulated government slaves with pretensions to private ent e rprize conducted a lest. made avail­ able to television network newscasters, that showed a K car striking a wall and flattening back to the wind­ shield. and a Toyota strik­ ing the same wall and flat­ tening back to the radiator. The K-car absorbed more energy and was judged "safer". 1 am curious as to which car would be safer to drive after absorbing the vibration of 50.000 miles of rough roads. The one that absorbed the most damage or the least? I agree with the testers that the K-car is the car of choice for petiole who drive into walls. Th» foyota would probably kill such people, but it would at least keep them off the road. The people, that is. not the K car or the Toyota. When I see a person driving an old Toyota. I think. “He's still alive, he's a safe driver." When I see a person driving a K-car. I cannot be sure It may be a replacement car. It looks new. To plaigarize a promin­ ent politician (whom I did not vote for), do we need another 400 million dollars' worth of this? Sincerely, Frederick G.

In rapid succession on April 21. A.P. Holly resigned as supervisor and Ira Stowell was appointed supervisor in his place. Ira Stowell resigned from the building committee and William Lee was appointed to that vacancy. George Swartz replaced A.P. Holly, resigned, on the building committee. An additional item was noted in the March 31, 1868, treasurer's report: “Town House Site $18.50." On May 6, S.S. Ingerson was paid $500 as part pay on a contract to enclose the Town House and on October 19, .968, he received $340 as paymen. m fuil for enclosing Town House. The mood of the voters in 1869 was shown clearly at the annual township meeting April 5. They elected Milo T. Wheeler. Supervisor, and Stephen S. Ingerson, Clerk. They went on to vote to raise $623.40 "to apply on the completion of the town house building" by a clear majority “For the Money. Yes. 125; For the Money. No. 15.” In Decem­ ber Ira Stowell was paid $623.40 from the Town Hall pretty wooded lot in the Fund. Village of Woodland. At the April 1870 annual township meet ing the voters ousted the supervisor and clerk and replaced them with Edwin C. Nash and Emmett Cole. Doubts on completion of Town Hall were mirrored in the vote to raise one mill “to complete paying for building Town Hall and such other finishing as may be necessary on said Town Hall site." By mid year of 1870 it appeared that the town hall was completed. The board met on July 2. 1870, and accepted the report of the Town Hall Building Committee and discharged the committee from further duly or responsibility. The board then audited accounts. Finally the board appointed a committee of three to have charge of the Town Hall, during the pleasure of the board, ar.d voted to raise $40 to buy chairs and table for the Town Hall, to build a walk and to make a fence and gate. The job was let to Ira Stowell. On November 9, Ira Stowell was paid the $40 and the building was insured in September with Stephen Haight for a premium of $51.50. Income of $1 for use of Town Hall was reported by the town treasurer in March 1 1871, but expenditures of $418.74 for the Town Hall debt and interest and $54.12 were noted. In addition at the annual April town meeting, the board voted to raise $30 for the Town Hall. No reason or purpose was stated. Mysteriously. the following page is missing, torn out, with no explan­ ation, from the section. Proceedings of Township Meetings." However scattered entries of board and township business appear throughout the clerk’s journal. In April 1872 the fence around Town Hall had not yet been built for on that day the job was let to R.W. Shriner for $37. The job specified a “lawful fence, material used in construction to be either Pine, Oak or Tamarack” and to be completed by May 10. ---------Shriner ----- -- performed. wn 1872. On May 29 he ” was, paid _..„J $37.50 *— the "Special . . _Town -from Hall Fund, and finally on Septem­ ber 21, J.M. Reisen was paid $50 for the building fence. The year 1873 passed pacifically. The electors of the township voted unani­ mously at the annual April meeting that the Town Hall vommittee rent the upper story for school purposes and to require each teacher there to pay $10 to the committee and keep the Town House in fcood repairs. Eighteen seventy-four proved to be not quite as placid. At the end of March the board instructed and ordered the Town House Committee, who were pre­ sent, t hat t he upper story be used for no other purpose than for holding select school and that the committee procure 30 wooden seats for the pur pose of seating the lower part or room of Town Hall, the seats to be 10 feet long each, seats not to cost over $1 each, “to be good seats." 12 inches wide. 16 inches high. 3 seis of hardwood legs 1 1/4 inches thick, »he (foot) boards to be 4 inches wide and set into the legs 1 inch, seats to have one coat of paint.

In October 1879 the town board rented the second story of the town hall to School District No. 4 of " oodland for t he winter term of school for $1 per week. By March 1880 the clerk had received $16. The clerk balanced the Town Hall bxxiks twice, 1879 and 1880. Perfect balance, receipts and expenditures. One day later, in the annual settlement with the board, the township treasurer re­ ported a balance in the Town Hall Fund: $20.71. The Woodland Township Board continues to hold their annual township meet­ ings there in March of each year. The caucuses of the township part .'as are reported to be “hot.” with election immediately follow­ ing. While a cistern outside the hall remains filled as storage for fire purposes, there is no running water in the hall. This causes a re­ curring argument between modernists each year.

Freezing meals also has added incentives besides saving time each night: If you're making one batch, it's as easy to make two or three: when supplies are plen'iful and there are bar- gains ai the grocery, each meal costs less; and. of course, some recipes make larger amounts so it's practical to stock the freezer.

Employing full court passes. Lakewood managed to find a man open under the basket. and on four occasions, connected on easy lay ups. Hastings showed a lot of speed and quickness, and John Karpinski hit a hot streak, dumping in four straight field goals, but Hastings was denied rebounds on missed shots, as they could not match Lake­ wood's height. Lakewood held a two point lead at the end of the first quarter, then built a 33-24 difference at inter­ mission. which eventually proved to be enough. Hastings outscored the Vikings 12-10 in the third period, but Lakewood came back with a six point spread in the final eight minutes of play to insure the win. Heide, playing his usual consistent game, led all scorers with 18 points on seven field goals, and four free throws. He also had four steals. High man for Hastings was John Karpinski who netted six field goals and two free throws for 14 points. Hastings recorded only four free throws in the game.

The budget calls for revenues and expenditures of about $6.8 million, nearly $300,000 below actual expenditures in the 1979-80 school year, which ended last June 30. The cuts called for in the current bad get have already been made-most last summer. But the school board did not want to take action on a budget until it was known what the state school aid bill would do to state funding. What that aid bill did was not good for Hastings and many other school districts. For Hastings, regular state aid drops this year to $2,791,277.97, from $3,017,870.93 in the last school year, a decrease of more than $200,000. The total state portion, of the school budget, including special funds, transportation and driver education, drops more than $300,000, from $3,391,920.82 to $3,078,630.97. Thus, state assistance in the proposed budget will slip to 45.4 percent of Hastings’ revenue, from 48.4 percent last year. The expenses of instruc­ tion run nearly two-thirds of the Hastings school budget, so that is where the biggest cuts have come for the 1980-81 year. Comparing the proposed 1980-81 budget to the actual expenses of the 1979 school year we find: Principals' salaries have been cut 11.35 percent, or nearly $30,000, by the elimination of assistant principals' positions. Teachers' salaries have been cut 2.42 percent, but that amounts to nearly $90,000. The school district expects to spend $3,595,358 in teacher salaries this year, compared to $3,634,690.97 last year. School secretary salaries are up about $7,500, because two positions which started out last year under CETA funding are now paid from the regular school budget. Building secretaries have been cut from an eight-hour day to seven-hour days, however. Trims in books and supplies have been substant­ ial, including more than $30,000 in general instruc­ tion supplies, more than $23,000 in books, over $20,000 in miscellaneous instruction supplies, more than $30,000 cuts in library books and supplies. Transportation expenses are up very slightly, with salaries being cut $7,500 and operating expenses up less than $9,000.- Originally sc’ool officials had planned for higher gasoline expenses, and $11,000 has been trimmed from those estimates because the price of gas has not jumped as fast as expected. Administration expenses are up about $3,000 despite a cut of more than $4,500 in the salaries of administrators for this year. This is because the board of education has decided to hire a professional negotiator to deal with the teachers' union this year, at a cost of more than $8,000, and this is considered an administrative expense. Operation of the school buildings will be up an estimated $3,000 this year, because of higher utility costs. Despite stringent energy conservation measures, it is anticipated •hat hea» will jump $10,000, electricity will increase by $4,000 and water by nearly $4,000. C jtodial salaries have been cut more than $14,000, however, by not filling a vacancy left by ret irement. Eliminating athletics from the school budget has resulted in a savings of $23,439.08 from last year. Adult and community education, which is flourish­ ing with increased enroll­ ment this year, will spend $298,492 in the current year, up from $269,501.49 last year. There are 52 more students enrolled in adult and community ed this year than last, which brings in substantially more money from state aid. Maintenance has been cut by nearly one-fourth from last year. Buildings and grounds is trimmed more than $28,000 to $188,438. Maintenance of instruction equipment has been slashed a whopping 75 percent to $7,875, and maintenance of non-instructional equipment eliminated entirely for a $6,240 savings. The new budget allows $68,139 for purchase of new school buses, almost exactly what was spent last year. However, capital outlay for equipment and special projects has been eliminated entirely, for a savings of $31,426.82. School Superintendent Richard Guenther commen*ed that if the schools were running with the same program they had two years ago, the school budget would be approximately $7.5 million, or nine percent higher than the actual budget being presented to the school board Tuesday. When the board discusses the budget Tuesday, it will the 20th tir- the 1980-81 budget has been reviewed by the board since the first tentative figures for 1980-81 were compiled in August of 1979. Most of the savings, between the $7.5 million “normal" budget and the $6.8 million budget to be adopted have been made in staff cuts, Guenther said. The equivalent of 40 positions have been eliminated, including 25’/» teaching positions. As of this week, there were still 15 teachers on layoff. Others whose jobs have been eliminated either are no longer available or have been absorbed as vacancies occurred. Of those on layoff, 12Vi are at the secondary level (one has been rehired half­ time) and 2*A at the elementary level. A number of factors have helped make the balanced budget possible. Superint­ endent Guenther explained. An unexpected increase of 52 pupils in adult and community education will bring in an extra $80,239 in state revenues. This partial­ ly offsets the decline in enrollment in regular day school. State unemployment compensation does not have to be paid until July 1, 1981, a savings of $40,000 in the current year. This is just deferring the inevitable. however, as it must be paid eventually. Utility costs, although up, have not increased as fast as school officials have original­ ly planned for. This makes possible a budget savings of $38,000. The slow rise in gasoline costs also helps, although that could change quickly. The cost of health­ hospitalization insurance is approximately the same as last year, despite an increase in rates. Because the schools have fewer employees, premiums have been held . 'own. And finally, stringent economies have allowed for the budgeting of $7,000 less in supplies and equipment than originally was thought possible. Although on paper, the budget is balanced, the margin is paper-thin. In contrast to many years, when the school budget can show a surplus of several tens of thousands of dollars, the current budget is in the black by c. y $1,834. A very minor increase in any expense, or further reduction by executive order of the state school aid, could throw the school budget in the red, Guenther says. \ x "I will be very, very surprised if that budget is in balance at the end of June," Guenther told The Banner. Among the unknowns which could undermine the budget is the yet-to-be determined cost of the costof-living increase which is due the teachers in March. Each one percent in the teachers’ COLA costs the school district $35,000, so if it is one percent higher than anticipated, the budget will become unbalanced.

School Millage Renewal On Ballot March 9 Hastings School District voters will probably go to the polls on March 9 to vote on a renewal of presen Uy-authorized school millage of 18.51 mills. The March 9 millage renewal election proposal will be the agenda for the board at its next meeting Tuesday. Approval is expected at that time. Board members have been discussing the renewal for some time, trying to determine when the best time would be to present the question to the voters. All of the 18.51 mills voted millage comes up for renewal this year. At the March 9 election, only renewal of the 18.51 mills is expected to be considered. The school board could ask for extra millage in the future. Taxpayers in the Hastings school district also pay eight mills for school purposes out of the 10 mills automatically levied county-wide, for a total 25.65 mills currently being collected. A renewal of the 18.51 mills presently authorized will represent an actual increase, because of the effect of the Headlee Amendment. The actual voted millage in effect for 1980 was 17.65 mills, because of the Headlee rollback.

Schools to Hire Professional Negotiator For the first time ever, the Hastings Board of Education is expected to hire an outside negotiator to handle contract negotiations with the Hastings Education Association. At its meeting Tuesday evening, the board will consider a proposal to hire Kevin Harty of the Michigan Association of School Boards, to represent the board in the negotiations. Harty will be hired for $8,252. which is set according to the size of the school, according to Superintendent Richard Guenther The current three-year contract between the HEA and the Hastings schools expires this year. Before that, the HEA and the Hastings School District had a five-year contract. In the past, Hastings teacher contracts have been unusual in the state, for both the length of the contracts and the fact that they included a cost-of-living allowance |COLA|. When financial problems developed last year, th • Hastings teachers were asked to consider a modification of the contract. HEA members voted to decline to discuss such a proposal. However, a number of teachers did make voluntary donations from their own pockets, and in this way returned more than $25.(MX) to the school district for the current school year. Meeting for breakfast, these Farm Bureau representatives get ready to open a drive for members of the Barry Counts Farm Bureau. Shown are |left| Paul Gibson. Board member ofthe bureau.

Jan. 7.1981, Page 5 West Woodland News By VICTOR SISSON Our New Year greeted us Thursday morning with about ten inches of snow filling our driveway, also, a road crew had filled the entrance to the driveway­ wit h a big pile of,snow and lea es. The new snow had filled in where we had shoveled it out and we were really snowed in! We could not get out. and friends who wanted to visit us couldn't get in. A strong wind that blew all night Thursday didn’t improve conditions. And this is the way it was until Friday forenoon when a good neighbor came in with his snow blower and did a beautiful job, opening up the full length of the driveway so we could get out without any trouble whatever. Thank you. Butch, we deeply appreciate this. Ard on Sunday morning it was COLD! The temperature locally varied from 10° below at home to •26 at the- home of a friend south of Hastings and a reading at the Soo was reported as -36°.

The Gerald Potters observed their 40th wedding anniversary and on Saturday evening they were supper guests of the Forrest Potters. Mrs. Lois Brasher left Saturday morning for Jensen Beach. Florida, where she plans to make her future home. Jensen Beach is located on the east coast of the state south of Fort Pierce. A call to her daughter. Mrs. Stephen DeGroote Monday informed i hem of her safe arrival there Sunday evening and she was glad she has avoided our cold spell. The heavy snow of last week covered up the weeds, e'c.. so that the birds had a hard time finding anything to eat. As a consequence our bird visitors increased very noticeably both in numbers and varieties. Whereas we had plenty of sparrows and a very few white breasted nut hatch, and downy woodpeckers. But when the snow came we not only had to inci-ease ’he amount of suet and seed we put out in the feeders but we had established a couple of extra feeding siations. Since then we have have a pair of beautiful cardinals at our window box, also the red headed and red bellied woodpeckers, mourning doves, gold finch (wild canary) hairy woodpeckers, blue jays, and titmice (Peter bird I. Santa Claus bought us a 50 lb. bag of wild bird seed for Christmas and perhaps the birds saw him coming down the chimney with it and that's why they are back here now. On Monday the junco was added to the list of •birds visitors at our feeders and in the afternoon a pheasant was seen in our north yard. And the above reminds me that I heard a young lady say, on Christmas eve,” Fm going to leave my door unlocked tonight,” and when asked "w hy?" .replied. "I don’t have a chimney on my apartment.’ Mr. and Mrs. Stephen DeGroote and Shawn were Grand Rapids shoppers Saturday afternoon. They had supper in the city and went to a movie.

I*M, 6 High Blood Pressure Top Health Hazard Ask The Governor QUESTION: HOW CAN YOU AND THE LEGIS­ LATORS EVEN CONSIDER SALARY INCREASES AT A TIME WHEN WE ARE ALL FORCED TO CUT BACK ON OUR BUDGETS? GOVERNOR: I recently urged the State Officers Compensation Commission to freeze the salaries of top elected officials and defer any increases until 1962. The commission, which sets the salaries of the Governor. Legislature and the Supreme Court, has voted to follow that path. This commission was established by the State Constitution to set salaries independently and free from interference by the officials whose salaries the commis­ sion authorizes. Taxpayers, legislators-any citizen, in fact-may speak before the commissioners, but the authority to change salaries remains in their hands. QUESTION: INSTEAD OF CUTTING THE BUDGET WHERE IT HURTS PEOPLE. WHY DON'T YOU CUT OUT THE TERRIBLE ABUSES OF WELFARE AND MEDCAID? GOVERNOR: In a state as large as Michigan, there are some people whc fraudu­ lently receive welfare pay­ ments, but these cases are very few. The Department of Social Services has taken stpes to reduce the misuse of our welfare system. In fact, Michigan leads the nation in tracking down parents who should be supporting their children. Last year we saved more than $80 million in Aid to Families with Dependent Children payments through this effort. A review process for Med­ icaid also has reaped large savings of taxpayers' dollars and a new law signed last week will make the process much more effective. Last year, nearly $450,000 was recovered from Medicaid providers foi wrongful payments or overpayments. Another $500,000 in payments was ^voided by a process which identifies re­ cipients who overused cert­ ain services, particularly prescription drug payments. In addition, more than $2 million of payments was avoided through reviews of providers' billings. The surveillance and utili­ zation review system ident­ ifies both providers and recipients with unusual patterns of use. Information produced by that system led to the successful programs to reduce recipient over use in targeted areas of the state. We are expanding this program as rapidly as the budget allows. Another effort to assure that Medicaid funds are properly used is the program to recover funds from insurance companies or other third parties respon­ sible for medical expenses of a Medicaid recipient. During 1979, we saved more than $27 million through this pro­ gram. If you have a question for the Governor, please send it to: “Ask the Governor" Executive Office Press Section Lansing, Michigan 48909 QUESTION: IS ANYTHING EVER GOING TO BE DONE ABOUT THE CONTINUING CON­ TAMINATION AT THE GRATIOT COUNTY LANDFILL? GOVERNOR: The Gratiot County landfill is at the top of a priority list for the federal Superfund recently passed by Congress. Hazardous substance legis­ lation marks a dramatic im­ provement in our ability to deal with the toxic disposal problem that has plagued Michigan for sev­ eral years. The $1.6 billion Superfund is expected to pay for the cleanup of 400 sites across the country over the next five years. Congress, in fact, accepted Michigan's recom- mendation that the bill establish a partnership with those states that already have substantial waste management programs. Michigan is rewarded in the bill for its large financial investment in site cleanup in the past, and it establishes a credit against the future state share of Superfund costs for such past expenditures. This pro­ vision is expected to save Michigan $10 million over the next five years. Our Department of Natural Resources is already in contact with the Environment Protection Agency to begin to outline Michigan's specific site needs, but as I said, the Gratiot County landfill is already in place at the top of the list. QUESTION: ON LABOR DAY LAST YEAR. I WALKED THE MACKINAC BRIDGE WITH YOU AND ABOUT 25.000 OTHER PEOPLE. I HEARD SOMEONE SAY IT'S THE LONGEST BRIDGE IN THE WORLD. GOVERNOR: The Mackinac Bridge is the longest suspension bridge in the world, at 3,800 feet in the center suspension, and is regarded as an engineering marvel. The link between Michigan's two peninsulas has been a t remendous boost to commerce in the Straits area. In 1980, about two million people crossed “Mighty Mac.” The bridge was opened in 1957 after four years of labor by 10,000 men. I think it stands as testimony that no job is too big for the people of this state. G. Mennen Williams, who was Governor when the bridge was opened, called it “an expression in steel and concrete of the will, the determination and the vision of the people of Michigan." Some experts estimate that the first dogs were tamed over 12,000 years ago. High blood pressure is a primary cause of disease and death in the United States. One in every four adult s has high blood pressure, or hypertension. It can result in stroke, congestive heart failure and kidney failure and is a major risk factor in coronary artery disease. A simple test can delect high blood pressure. Once diagnosed, effective treat­ ment can be administered by a physician, a specially-train­ ed nurse or related health personnel working under the direction of a physician. Bronson Methodist Hospital sponsors monthly free blood pressure programs explaining the causes, symptoms and the treatment of hypertension. Bronson's program helps the patient and his her family understand the disease and the importance of control. The program is held the third Monday and Tuesday <»f each month in the Hospital's Ou patient Wait ing R<»om at 7 p.m. begin­ ning January 19 and 20.

They're fast, flavorful and easy to prepare. The secret is knowing which candies microwave with con­ sistent success. If you're planning to pre­ pare some special can­ dy treats in the micro­ some hint* from The Microwave Information Center of Campbell Soup Company : • Use a deep pyroceramic casserole for candies cooked to a soft or hard crack stage, such as the Almond Butter Crunch recipe. • Use a large container as mixture may bubble up the sides. • Container will get hot; use potholders. *• Do not leave non-microwavc candy thermometer in mixture while operating the microwave oven. • Watch temperature on candy thermometer closely to avoid overcooking. Allow 1 to 2 minutes for tempera­ ture to equalize for accurate reading. • When converting con­ ventional hard candy recipes to microwave, additional wa­ ter may be needed to compen­ sate for greater evaporation of the liquid. The following recipes for candy desserts were tested in The Microwave Information Center's kitchens. Both make elegant candies or fancy yearround dessert treats.

Apparently stale from their vacation inactivity, the Saxons were anything but sharp in the early going, scoring only seven points in the first quarter, while Hillsdale was controlling the ball, and put 11 points on the board. While the Saxons played a good floor game, they could not find the basket with any consistency, and Hillsdale managed to control both the backboards in the first half. Hillsdale outscored Hastings in the second quarter 13-11, and went into the locker room with a 24-18 lead. Whatever Coach Wayne Brown told his team at intermission seemed to pay off, as the Saxons returned for third quarter play look­ ing like a different ball club. Hastings controlled every phase of the game during t he period, ouljumping Hills­ dale. and scoring 20 points while holding Hillsdale to only eight. Both teams pumped through 14 points .n the final quarter, but the big surge by Hastings during the third quarter was enough to hold off Hillsdale. The win for Hast ings was their sixth for the year, and they now hold a 6-1 record, their only loss coming at the hands of Lakewood. Jim Shuster was the lead­ ing scorer for both teams, connecting on five field goals, and hitting eight for eight at the free throw line, giving him 18 points. Ron Morse led Hillsdale with 16 on seven field goals and a pair of free throws.

Delton Holds on in 63-58 Win Delton made it six in a row Monday night, with a 63-58 win over Mattawan, but Coach Jack McWilliams was not to happy with his team’s performance. Citing his sqund’s extended absence from the basketball court as the possible reason for a poor showing, he said. “I didn’t expect to be real sharp, after not playing since Dec. 19. but tonight (Monday) we were just loo flat during the first three quarters of play, and we will be working really hard this week to regain our momentum." The Panthers managed to take a t hree point lead at the end of the first quarter, and matched Mattawan with 12 points in the second period, but then gave away six points to the visitors during the third quarter, and went into the final stanza trailing 44-41. McWilliams said, “We opened the game by going inlo a zone formation, which Mattawan promptly picked to pieces, so we went to a full court press, which helped us. We simply made too many mistakes, and gave the ball away 19 times through turnovers and steals. It was not one of our better games.” Delton did outscore Mattawan 22-14 in the last quarter and it was this scoring punch which made the difference in the game. The win gives Delton a perfect 6-0 record in overall play, and a 4-0 mark in league play. Dave Barry was high man for both teams, getting eight field goals, and fiv*‘ free throws for 21 points. Dave Green and Kurt Niebauer each scored 12 points for the Panthers. Green also had 11 steals, and Barry 10.

Maple Valley took a 76-36 drubbing from a powerful Pennfield squad, Tuesday night. Pennfield, ranked in one poll as seventh in the state in class C, had 11 players score in the rout, and didn't let Maple Valley get even close in the one sided win. Pennfield jumpedto a 15-10 first quarter lead, and from then on, it was just a matter of how badly'Maple Valley would be beaten. By the end of the third period, Pennfield had stretched its lead to 28 points, and Pennfield’s coach pulled his smarting lineup. Using a full court press, Pennfield bottled up Maple Valley, and forced them into committing costly turn­ overs. Maple Valley Coach Jerry Reese had no excuses for his team's loss, saying, “We were just outgunned by a good team, and we could not get untracked.” John Kent was high scorer for Maple Valley, getting 13 points on three field goals and seven free throws, followed by Pat Kersjes with eigh,.

Doug and Kathy MacLeod have spent their spare hours re­ modeling the once-beautiful Hastings landmark which they intend to restore to its original appearance as much as possible. Many non­ family individuals have con­ tributed antique furniture and decorative items to the effort. The Striker House, com­ pleted in 1885, was by far the finest residence in this area. Daniel Striker returned to Hastings from Lansing, where he had been Secretary of Slate, deter­ mined to build a home of the finest material. He imported from Belguim leaded stained glass windows and elegant chandeliers uf crystal and brass. Select grades of the finest butternut, cherry, black walnut and oak were ved lavishly in the interior finish. In 1916 to 1923 the interior of the house - was rearranged and served as the Good Samaritan Hospital, the forerunner of Pennock Hospital. There­ after. it served as a residence, as a nursing home and as an office. It had been vacant for several years until the MacLeods purchased it. Two years ago the Barry County Historical Society, at the instigation of Mrs. Esther Walton, applied for funds to make a survey of Hastings' historical district, including the Striker House and to create a plan for historic preservation. The name of the project was Striker/Green Street Historic District. Last year the funds were granted and Mrs. Walton named as coor­ dinator and the society as grant recipient.

Cartoons To Be identified and contained in order that it will not be spread to other farms. Pscudorabies is primarily found in swine but it can be transmitted to dogs. cats, cattle, sheep, goats and wild animals. These animals may become hosts and will die. There is no effective cure for the disease once it attacks the hog herd. Clinical signs include sneezing and nasal discharge in hogs, convulsions in feeder pigs and some death of baby pigs in the farrowing quarters. Pork producers should include the following precautions in their manage­ ment: Burn or bury dead swine every day because of the high concentration of virus, especially in newborn pigs that have died. Vaccination should be considered. Producers should contact their local veterinarians because vaccination may help curtail the severity of the disease. This vaccination will help reduce death loss. It will not destroy the virus in the animal nor prevent future outbreaks. Containment, control and prevention of Peuedorabies is important. Farmers should not buy new additions to the herd with­ out retesting the new stock., This testing can be done by the local veterinarian. If producers have visited stockyards, shows, sales, or other swine operations, be sure to disinfect boots and clothing before going into the farm production facilities. Pseudorabies can be readily transmitted to the farm via clothing, especially on manure picked up by the boots. Under no circumstances, should manure be obtained from off the farm and spread on private farmlanda. Manure is one of the primary carriers of Pseudorabies. At all times, keep visitors away from the production facilities unless careful disease prevention measures have been taken first.

Balzac has said. "Fashion is...a language, a code which is indecypherable...one no longer follows fashion. It is fashion that follows society., a cultural testimony to the relationship between the sexes and the different social classes.” 5000 Years Of Fashion deals with the dialectic relationship between fashion and society. The Kolyma Tiles, by Varlam Shalamov, in a translation by John Glad, portrays life in the Kolyma region of northwestern Siberia, a land where perhaps three million people have been liquidated.

The Civil War is the focus of three titles being added: Douglas Southall Freeman was awarded • the Pulitzer Prize in 1935 for his comprehensive biography of Robert E. Lee. Reprinted in 1962 this four-volume treatise "surpasses other standard works in the field. In R.E. Leo: A Biography, Freeman has used material from many different sources, some until this time not included in other biographies, particularly Lee's letters and military papers. The Collected Works Of Abraham Lincoln can be considered a primary source in the study of the life of our 16th President and of mid19th century America. This multi-volume set, published by the Abraham Lincoln Association of Springfield, Illinois, includes all the writings and public speeches the editors felt “contribute to a larger understanding of the man." Leiters, documents pertaining to law cases, speeches and their various drafts, newspaper reports, etc., are arranged in chronological order from 1824-1865, revealing much about Lincoln and the man and Lincoln the statesman. The third CivU-War-related title. The Orphan Brigade, by William C. Davis, is subtitled “the Kent ucky Confederates who couldn't go home." When the Civil War broke out, the Kentucky legislature chose to stay with the Union; but, the First Kentucky Brigade entered the fight on the Confederate side. “With their first march into battle, they became outcasts from their mother state orphans in the raging strife of civil war." The First Brigade fought at Shiloh. Vicksburg, Baton Rouge. Chickamauga, and the fight for Atlanta. Davis recreates the battles and the "unbearable drudgery of the months between" and explores the background of the members of the Brigade. �i m: ii x irises banm:r. Ask The Governor QUESTION: MY HEALTH INSURANCE COSTS KEEP RISING BUT BENEFITS DON'T. IS THERE ANYTHING STATE GOVERNMENT CAN DO TO CONTROL THE COSTS? GOVERNOR: I am pleased to report that I recently signed the Health Care Corporation Reform Act which will help control the costs of the health insurance. Ths legislation establishes a new approach to contro­ lling rate increases and health care costs, sets cost containment goals and increases public represent­ ation on the Blue Cross/ Blue Shield of Michgan board. The current 45 member boad will be re­ duced to 35. Four of the 35 will be public members appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate. Two of these persons will be retirees 62 yeas of age or older. A maximum of 25 percent of the board members can be provider members. The balance are to be subscrib­ er members from small, medium and large groups representing an equal balance of labor and manage­ ment representatives. The new law identifies separate classes of health care providers (hospitals, allopathic physicians, osteopatic physicians, phar­ macists) and sets three goals for each: reasonable cost, access to health care and quality health care. The law also establishes the reim­ bursement cost, making sure that expenditures do not exceed the average increase in the gross national product. The new law incorporates consumer information provisions, including a requirement for timely handling of subscriber complaints and that medicar recipients re­ ceive a "buyer's guide" to services. QUESTION: CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO OBTAIN INFORM­ ATION REGARDING REQUIREMENTS AND QUALIFICATIONS FOR ENTRANCE TO ANY OF THE MILITARY ACADEMIES? GOVERNOR: There are several United States service academies to which you can apply. A few of the academies include the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, the U.S. Naval Academy, the U.S. Air Force, and the U.S. Marines. Information concerning any of the academic can be secured from a high school counselor. The academies keep the counselors well informed and up dated. Any high school counselor should he able to provide you with literature and applications. There are several qualifications required by a majority of the academies. An applicant must usually have a letter of nomination from one of his or her state senators or representatives. Also, most academies require the applicant to pass a physical aptitude exam which tests athletic ability and a physical examination. High school grade point averages. SAT and ACT scores are also closely examined. The average length of the complete application process for a senice academy is a little over one year. Students, therefore, are encouraged to apply during their junior year in high school. shower for a minute or wash your hair, you use up about three gallons of hot water. If you have a small dishwasher, it use* about ten gallons per use. Washing dishes by hand consumes some six gallons and a clothes washer can use as much as 48 gallons of expensive hot water. Buy Appliances That Cost Less to Run . When you shop for a major appliance you probably compare prices, but do you find out which model will cost less to operate? By comparison shopping for an energy efficient appliance your electric bills should reflect t he energy savings. Prior to a shopping trip look at your last electric bill to find out the cost of each kilowatthour. This will help determine the operating cost of each appliance you consider. In the store check the EnergyGuide label which gives a number called an Energy Efficiency Rating or EER. This tells you how efficiently the appliance uses electricity. The government requires that Energy Guide labels be displayed on refrigerators.freezers, clothes dryers, water heaters, ranges,, ovens and room air conditioners. The EER usually ranges from seven to 12 and the higher the number the more efficient the unit. At a rate of 12 cents per kilowatlhour, a 5,000 B.t.u. air conditioner with an energy efficiency rate of 7.0 could cost $59 in electricity each year while a similar unit with an EER of 3.8 could cost $47 annually to run. If the second unit had a higher purchase price than the first it could still be the better buy in terms of energy efficiency. The EnergyGuide label also gives EERs for the least and most efficient models of the brand of appliance you're considering. As an example, you look at a refrigerator with an EER of nine and the label indicates I hat t he least efficient model has a rating of eight, while the most efficient model is rated 10. You can then judge the efficiency of the model you’re looking at. The EnergyGuide label includes a chart showing how much it will cost to run the appliance each *ear depending upon how many hours it is used and the cost of electricity in your area. Since you already know your electricity rate, locate it on the chart and. note what your energy cost for that appliance will be for various amounts of usage. The kilowatthour is a measurement unit that shows how much energy an appliance uses. To deter­ mine how many kilo­ watt hours each appliance in your home uses, multiply the number of watts of power the appliance Michigan Sponsors Needed in Food Program The U.S. Department of Agriculture is looking for qualified public or nonprofit private agencies to sponsor the summer food program in Michigan. Under this program, qualified sponsors get federal payments for meals served to children in needy areas. The summer food program provides meals to children in needy areas during extended school vacation periods. It operates during the summer or during any school vacation of at least three weeks for schools with a continuous school year calendar. Meals and snacks are served to children in such places as Churches, schools, playgrounds, and parks. Public « Notices NOTICE The Hastings Area Board of Education has scheduled a special closed meeting following their regular public meeting on Tuesday, January 13, 1981. Purpose: Upcoming Negotiations with Employees. JoAnn Fluke, Sec'y requires by I he number of hours ii is used, then divide by 1.000. Cheek the appliance's nameplate for the number of watts. If your coffeemaker is 600 wails and is used one hour each day. the coffeemaker is using six lenihs of a kilo­ wall hour daily. For deter­ mining the month's rate, multiply that rate by 30 and the coffeemaker is using 18 kilowatt hours. At 10 cents per kilowatthour your coffeemaker is costing $1.80 monthly in electricity. Now i hat you are aware of whai you have to pay for energy and how to keep track of your energy usage, it can be easier to con­ serve. Leaving lights and appliances on when they are not in use means you are spending money unnecessarily. MORTGAGE SALE NOTICE The real eatate mortgage given by PHILIP M. BISHOP and JOYCE M.

Virtually all households that receive the food coupons will see some increase in their monthly allotments, except for oneand two-person households at the upper income limits. A family of four with the least income will see an increase from $209 per month to $233 per month in food stamps they receive. Two expense deductions used to compute "net income" for eligibility and for figuring the amount of food stamps a recipient can get -- will also be raised in January. A standard allowance to cover basic household expenses will be increased from $75 to $85 per month. Also* an allowance to cover dependent care costs or "excess shelter expenses" will go up from $90 to $115 per month. The amount of food stamps a household can receive from the federally funded program is based upon the number of persons in the household and its net montly income. The federal Food Stamp Act requires an annual ad­ justment in basic stamp allotments, as well as changes in certain expenses deductions used to figure net monthly income. The January jump in benefits reflects cost-of-living increases as surveyed and reported periodicaly by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Last year, an average of about 320,000 households (or about 813,000 persons) qual­ ified and received food stamps each month in Michgan. The value of the stamps averaged about $27 per person each month. Michigan State fencing coach.

GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR CLOTHES DRYER Ever wonder how you can save energy and still have the convenience of ar automatic dryer? The first and most obvious way is to always dry a full load. Some automatic wash­ ers have water level selec­ tors so you can choose a setting which corresponds to the size of the clothes load. Dryers do not have load size selectors. However, if you have finished a FULL load in the washer and have sorted carefully before wash­ ing. you have automatically sorted for drying. A goad washer load is usualh a good dryer load. For the most effective drying, sort by kinds of fabrics, .is follows: • White or light-colored cot­ tons and linens • Dark, colorfast cottons and linens • White synthetics. Wash. *n Wear or Permanent Press blends • Colorfast synthetics. Wash 'n Wear or Permanent Press blends • Poly-knits • Nonco'orfast items Also sort by weight of fabrics, or In the amount of drying time needed. Terrsdoth towels and other heavs items will hold more moisture and take longer to dry. It is better not to mix light, delicate, easily dried items with heavier items. The light items will dry faster and may suffer damage from extreme overdrying. Automatic moisture de­ tecting devices on dryers can save energy. A dryer with this automatic feature can save as much as 20 percent of the en­ ergy required to dry your clothes. When properly set, the detector turns off the dryer when the moisture has been removed from the dothes. Also, the clothes will always be dried just right at the end of the cycle. There will be no need to restart the dryer to complete the drying process. This not only saves energy, but also saves you from extra trips back and forth to check if dothes arc dry. Many dryers have an endof-cycle signal which tells you that the load is dry. Particu­ larly when ycu’rc drying Permanent Press items, this too can save energy. The signal reminds you to remove Permanent Press and other no­ iron clothes. If these clothes arc left in the dryer when tumbling stops, they may wrinkle. In such cases, it is often necessary to restart the dryer for 10 or 15 min­ utes to relax the wrinkles. Keeping the lint filter and exhaust vent clean also keeps the dryer operating more efficiently. Before every load, check to make sure the lint filter is in place and clean. One last, but by no means least, energy-saving featureif your old gas dryer has a gas pilot light and you replace it with one which has electric ignition, you can save about ■40 to 50 percent of the energy you use to dry your dothes each year.

By simply monitoring your everyday use of energy at home, you can accumulate considerable savings in utility bills. Here are some ways to start: •Lower the temperature of your hot water heater from 150 to 140 degrees and save about 10 percent on your hot waler costs. Use "Task'' lighting where you keep the general light level low, but use strong light in specific areas such as in a lamp near a reading chair. Try using low wattage bulbs in areas where a lot of light isn't needed like the hallways ant^ foyers. •Open the'oven door as little as possible.

The higher wattage bulb produces more light wjth about 20 percent less energy. •Insulate the hot water heater with a special ■'blanket" you can buy at a hardware store for 20 to 30 dollars. It will usually pay for itself in one year. •Insulate the heating and cooling ducts and reduce your utility bills by up to 15 percent. •Pack the freezer full, even if you have to fill milk cartons with water and freeze them to take up empty space. More energy is used in an empty freezer. •Don't overload the refrigerator, though. If air can circulate around the food, this appliance will use less energy. Wash only full loads of dot hes and use warm water or cold water instead of hot in your washing machine. •Turn down the heat or turn off your central air conditioning if no one is home for more than three hours. •Set your thermostat no higher than 68 degrees during the day and 60 degrees at night during the winter. You haven’t spent much money and you immediately begin to save energy and money. May Be Good Investment If you hestitate to make your home more energy efficient because of the expense, think about it again. Improving your home in this way is an investment with one of the highest returns imaginable. Considering the savings in fuel, tax credits and appreciation on the value of your house, you may be able to realize a 300 percent profit. About half of an average home energy bill is for hea'ing and cooling. By adding insulation to your attic these bills can be reduced from 30 to 50 percent. Even more money can be saved by insulating ceilings with cold spaces above them such as an attached garage, floors above cold spaces such as an open porch and exterior walls. In addition, threefourth of the insulation is recoverable when you sell your home. Your well-insulated home still allows some heat to escape. Plastic storm windowscan cut heat loss up to 32 percent. Glass storm windows can reduce heat loss up to 50 percent, saving you about $87 in gas heating bills each year. Your summer electricity bills will also be lower, since storm windows keep your home <xx>ler reducing the need for air condit ioning. You can save about three percent on your heating bills by plugging up "leaks” in your home with weather­ stripping. Entrance doors, window sashes and attic and basement doors should be weatherstripped on all sides and on top and bottom. Drafts can also be sealed out by caulking windows and doors where the frame meets the wail, around outdix>r faucets and cracks in exterior walls. Be sure to caulk wherever there is a building joint, for example, where your porch joins your house. Insulation, storm windows and doors, weathers!ripping and caulking quality for the energy tax credit. This credit is limited to 15 percent of '.he first $2,000 spent on the improvements and their installation. If you spent $2,650 on making your home more energy efficient, you could claim the maximum credit of $300. If you financed a home improvement load of $2,000 over two years at an annual percentage rate of 17 percent, and you are in the 40 percent tax bracket, you could save about $150 in taxes by deducting your total finance charge of $373 on your federal income lax return. The first year after the improvements were made, you would save $350 in energy costs; the second year, $315 and you would have third year savings of $284,. You’ve already cut your initial investment to nearly half with energy savings of $949. Adding your $300 tax credit and your $150 income tax saving, you've cut your initial investment from $2,650 to $1,251. Should you decide to then sell the house, you benefit even more. A house worth $60,000 this year could Estate Planning Meeting at Lakewood Factors to consider in planning your farm estate will be the subject of the next Lakewood farmer's meeting scheduled for Monday evening, Jan. 19. The featured speaker will be Dr. Myron (Mike) Kelsey, farm management extension specialist from Michigan State University. The meeting will begin at 8 p.m. in the POD classrooms at Lakewood High School, located east of Lake Odessa on State Highway 50. Estate planning is an important area of farm management which is often not adequately investigated by area farm families. Inher­ itance taxes and probate procedures, along with income tax considerations, must all be considered. There are methods of transferring one’s estate which can begin long before death occurs. Careful plan­ ning in this area can make a great deal of difference in how easily and how fully the results of one's years of 5 labor are passed on to loved ones and friends. This Lakewood meeting will provide farm families the opportunity to consider estate planning approaches for their estates. All interested individuals are invited to attend the Lakewnod farmers' meetings. The remaining schedule is as follows: Planning Your Estate, January 19, 1981; Field Drainage; Can You Afford It? Can You Afford Not To?, Jan. 26. 19810: Soil Conser­ ving Tillage Practices for Profitable Farming. Feb. 2, 1981; Grain Drying Alternatives. Feb. 16. 1981. All meetings will start at 8 p.m. and will be held at Lakew<xx>d High School. It is requested that those attending please park in the north parking lot, which is closer to the meeting rooms. These meetings are sponsored by Barry County Cooperative Extension and Lakewood Community Educat ion. Course Set Lloyd Conrad is instruct­ ing a course in small and medium appliance repair on Thursday evenings starting Feb. 5 from 6:15-9:45 p.m. at Lakewood.'

Or. perhaps your average morning fare doesn’t pro­ vide you with enough snap, crackle and pop to get you through the morning coffee break. Well, you’re not alone. About nine percent of the U.S. population fast at breakfast-time, reports the Market Research Corpora­ tion of America while ten percent consume only coffee—or, coffee and toast. The 81 percent who do start their day al the break­ fast table most frequently vote for ready-to-eat cereal. It’s quick but t-nfortunately, packaged cereals are laden with chemicals and additives. But lake note: you can have quick and healthy, hearty meals every morning.

Take waffles or pancakes. Lay cut all ingredients the night before. Or. mix up the batter and refrigerate over night. In the morning, give it a quick stir, perhaps add a bit more liquid for desired consistency, and get cook ing!

The building contains more than 100electric motors, used to move air for ventilation, according to Miller. Formerly, all of these motors ran full-time when the building was open for use. Timers have Been installed un the motors, so they will run only when i.eededto circulate air. As a result, the motors run a lot less. Miller told The Banner that motor failures were frequent when they were running constantly, but such failures have been eliminated recently, reducing expensive maint­ enance on them to zero this year. Miller said that most of the credit for the energy savings should go to Duane Glasgow, specialized maintenance man for the schools. He said that Glasgow works out all the technical details on how the electrical savings can be achieved. For the future. Miller made five recommend­ ations for the board, to be done when the district can affort them: 1- Replace incandescent lights with flourescent at Pleasantview School. 2- Replace incandescent lights with flourescent in the halls at Central School. 3- Replace the windows at Central and the Central Annex. 4- Cover glass block with insulated panels at Northeastern and Southeastern Schools. 5- Add insulation where possible in all buildings. TUESDAY ASPINALL Set Wedding Date Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Aspinali of Nashville, are pleased to announce the engagement of their daughter Tuesday, to Robert Van Engen, son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Van Engen of Hastings. Tuesday is a 1380 graduate of Maple Vauey High School in Nashville and Rob is a 1980 graduate of Hastings High School. Both are freshmen at Liberty Baptist College in Lynchburg, Virginia. An August 1, wedding date has been set. Case, Weyerman Consumers to Re-open Engagement Hold Dinner Meeting and Statement Savings Qoan Robert Miller, administrative assistant for non-instruct ton, gave the Hastings school board a report on energy savings in the school buildings. His report showed significantly reduced consumption of energy throughout the school system, and gave recommendations for actions which could further reduce energy use. At the high school, where an especially concerted effort has been made, the use of electricity has been drastically reduced. Using a formula. Miller reported that electricity use for the year 1980 was down to 331 units, from 972 in 1975. Big drops occured in 1977,1979 and 1980. according to Miller's figures. If electrical consumption at the high school had continued at the 1975 level. Miller said, the 1980 electical bills would have totaled $175,387. instead, 1980 electrical bills at the high school were $59,700, a savings of nearly two-thirds. Flourescent lighting installed at Northeastern and Southeastern Schools have resulted in a reduction of consumption of 32 percent, and actual electrical bills are down 17 percent despite higher rates.

Doris Hale, chairman of the Yoijng Careerist Committee, presented the local BPW Chapter's select­ ion for candidate for Young Careerist- 1981. Young •Careerist is a competative program sponsored by the BPW to draw out and honor young high achievers. Candidates must be under* the agi of 30 and one who has successfully achieved her specially set goals. Each district conducts its own competition and the winner then competes on the state level. Prior to introducing this year's local candidate, Doris read the following poem by an unknown author, titled "Success" Success is speaking words of praise In cheering other people's ways In doing just the best we can With every task and every plan. It's silence when your speech will hurt Politeness when your neighbor's curt. It's deafness when the scandal fla-nes And Sympathy with others’ woes. It’s loyalty when duty calls It's courage when disaster falls. It's patience when the hours are long It's found in laughter and in song. It’s in the silent time of prayer In Happiness and in dispair. In all of life and nothing less We find the thing we call "success.” Doris Hale then introduced Eileen A. Tucker the local chapter's choice as a candidate for Young Careerist. Eileen, 30, was born and raised in Hastings, graduated with honors from Hastings High School and received a B.A., with honors in General Business Administration from Mich­ igan State University. She is presently employed by the First Presbyterian Church of Hastings as Christian Education Director and Financial Secretary where her duties include supervision of church school, youth fellow­ ship, vacation church school, financial record keeping and payroll. She was previously employed fnr five years by Hastings High School where she was Secretary to the Principal. Her duties includ­ ed keeping accounts of high school clubs, ordering of books, supplies and equip­ ment, along with her secretarial duties. When asked Io speak about herself, Eileen said it's rather difficult to talk about yourself. If given a topic to research, an analysis could Announced be prepared and the findings reported, but, she said, "there's a fine line between disclosing self revelation and boring your audience to death!? Eileen said that after completion of college and returning to Hastings, she lives at home with her parents, to whom she also refers as her "friends." She related that it was her sister who was instrumental in helping her overcome her fears as a student just entering high school. And, again, it was her sister who helped disspell her fears upon entering college. "The greatest obstacle is fear ■ fear of not measuring up,” said Eileen. “How we deal with‘fear can be the turning point in our lives." Continu­ ing, Eileen pointed out that, "fear does not always have to be negative - it can be positive as well. You can be so afraid of missing the real things in life that nothing holds you back from getting them." Eileen views a career as a challenge, and an opport­ unity t o grow personally - to grow in knowledge, wisdom and experience. Since taking the position with the Presbyterian Church, a whole new world has opened to her in her experience working with the youth of t he church. To get along, the key, says Eileen, is "to listen." "It works with kids of all ages," she concluded. In retrospect, Eileen related mottos from various people who, during her scholastic years, were instrumental in her growth, development and successful achievement of the goals for which she strived. Crediting people from her parents to various teachers, one that she vividly remembers was authored by former Hastings High School Band Director Art Steward, who said, “If there’s something worth doing, it's worth doing well." Eileen said she was honored to have been selected to follow in the steps of Lucy Slinger as the Club's choice for Young Careerist. Lucy was the former Barrj County Extension 4-H Youth Agent who placed first in competition on the District level, and since that time has returned to Michigan State • University to complete her work toward her doctoral degree. Consumers Power Company announced this week that it has authorized the reopen­ ing of many of the bill payment locations through­ out its 27,000-square-mile service area in order to meet needs defined by a large number of its customers. The company cited customers concern as expressed in thousands of let i ers and telephone calls as the reason for this decision. The Jackson-hased utility announced last month that it was discontinuing arrangements with many of the several hundred bill payment locations. Most of these facilities are at bank and savings and loan offices, drugstores and other small businesses. The decision to reestablish many bill payment local ions is a direct result of custcmer complaints, Stephen H. Howell, Consumers Power executive vice president in charge of customer service, said. He said that customers' expressions of concern were most persuasive. "However, we still face the economic conditions which led us to close these stations, and we will have to look to additional methods of reducing our operating costs," Howell said. “We were aware that the closing would require some customers to change their bill payment methods," Howell said, "but we certainly did not expect the volume of complaints we have received. "Considering that we now provide customers with return envelopes with their bills, and considering the high cost of gasoline to make a trip to a pay station, we felt that most customers who used pay stations in the past would not find the closings too inconvenient. “However, it has become obvious that many customers prefer to pay their utility bills in person at a local store or financial institution," Howell said. “It now is clear to the company that maintaining neighborhood payment locations is a desirable service.” he said. In announcing the dosings, the utility had cited inadequate rales which do not reflect today's costs of operation, reduced sales resulting from Michigan’s depressed economy and higher interest charges that have seriously affected the company's earnings and revenue, as reasons for discontinuing the bill pay­ ment arrangements and implementing other cost­ cutting measures. “Thai economic situation is unchanged," Howell said, “and the need to make cutbacks in costs continues.” At the same time, Huwell said that the customers' reactions to the pay station closing make it clear that Consumers Power’s rates should reflect today's costs of providing bill paying stations and other types of necessary utility; »ervices. Consumers Power Company also announced in December that 26 companyoperated customers contact offices would be closed. The decision to close these offices remains in effect, but nearby alternate pay locations will be available. Attempts will also be made for alternate arrangements at locations where the owner or manager of the establishment declines to reestablish the bill payment service. Also, the arrange­ ment will not necessarily be renewed in areas where several locations are in close proximity to one another. Greg Northup, manager of the Battle Creek District of Consumers Power, said complaints from customers in his district played a significant role in the company's decision to renew the bill payment arrange­ ments. “We listened to what our customers in the Battle Creek District were saying," Northrup said. "The inconvenience to customers caused by the closing of bill payment locations became obvious. These comments together with comments from customers in seven other Consumers Power regions influenced the company’s decision.” Signs will be offered for display by those businesses renewing their bill payment arrangements. Customers also can obtain quick information about their bills or other utility matters by calling a toll-free telephone number listed in the local directory in each community served by Consumers Power Company. The Hastings Mr. and Mrs. Clayton (Bud) C. Case of Hastings are proud to announce the engagement of their daughter Pamela Raye to Michael J. Weyerman, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Jr. Weyerman of Cloverdale. Pamela is a graduate of Hastings High School and is employed at the Barry County Planning and Zoning office.

Assaults, Bogus Checks In warrants issued by the Barry County Prosecutor early this week, two Nashville residents were charged with first degree criminal sexual conduct. Named in the warrants were Teressa Marie Wood­ worth, 18, of 4911 E. Quimby Rd., Nashville, and Albert Marl in Arens. Ill, 23, also of 4911 E. Quimby Rd., Nash­ ville. The alleged offense took place Sunday Jan. 11 at the address listed for the two people charged. Bot h are charged with the actual commission of the criminal misconduct, and also with aiding and abetting each other in the act. A t wo count warrant was also issued by Prosecutor Judy Hughes charging Lawrence Victor Hawkins, 21, of 1660 Nashville Rd.. Hastings with breaking and .entering with intent to commit a felony, and also felonious assault. Hawkins is accused of breaking into an occupied dwellng at 1023 S. Montgomery St., Hastings, where he allegedly assaulted Claudine Oswald, while he was armed with a knife. He is charged with felonious assault, without intent to commit murder, or to inflict great bodily harm. The first charge could bring a 15 year jail term upon conviction, and the felonious assault charge carries a maximum penalty of four years in jail and/or a $2,000 fine, on conviction. Marilyn R. Beals of the Grand River Motel, 22755 Grand River, Detroit was also listed in a two count warrant issued by the Barry County Prosecutor. The warrant was issued after the accused allegedly cashed three non-sufficient fund checks in 10 days on two separate occasions. She cashed the first three for $20, $20 and $60.30 between Nov. 23 and Nov. 28. 1979. and the next three for S62.65, S30. and S5.0G between Nov. 18 and Nov. 26. 1979. The checks were drawn on Hastings City Bank, and were cashed at the Felpausch Food Center. Each count is punishable by two years imprisonment or a fine of $500. The prosecutor also issued a warrant for Vernon Charles Pontius, Sr., 53, of Angola. Ind., charging him with desertion and non­ support of his minor children, under the age of 17. The charge stemmed from the accused failing to support his children as far back as March, 1977. If found guilty, the accused could be imprisoned for not more than three years, nor less than one, in the state prison. zincs, take full notes when using the latter.

An addition to monily benefits, there is Medicare. This helps pay costly hospital, doctor, and other medical bills for most Deoole 65 or older, for disabled people who have been re­ ceiving benefits at least 2 years, and for man> people with permanent kidney fail­ ure. In 1980, Medicare paid about $35 billion on their behalf. At a time that social security taxes have just increased, it is important to remember the benefits side of the program as well as the tax side. Q- I get social security checks but I am still working part time, and I hope to earn a little more in 1981 than I did in 1980. Should I tell social security this early in the year? A. By all means, you should tell social security of any expected changes in your earnings, otherwise you may end up paying back an incorrect payment to social security. If. later in the year, you find you are making less then you reported, you can always adjust your earnings estimate. ST. CYRIL A METHODIUS. Gun Lake. Father Dennis BoyUn. Paator. Phone 792 2889.

Ju. 14.1981. Fife 6 Use Energy Audit To Figure Savings How much money can realistically be saved through energy conservation? Savings to your small business can be quite substantial because conserving energy can mean lower uut-of-pocket costs for heating and cooling and some significant tax savings allowing you to recover some of your energy-related investments. Certified Public'Account­ ants have developed an analytical technique, called an energy audit, that answers four critical questions: How much energy does your business •■ use now? What does it cost? What types of energy are being used and for what purpose? How can you reduce your energy usage to save on monthly utility bills? “An energy audit can bring a minimum savings of 10 io 20 percent to a small business." says Robert O. Redd, CPA and national director of energy manage­ ment for the CPA firm of Seldman and Seidman. He is located in their Grand Rapids office. “Such an audit gives you DID YOU KNOW? by Doris Cross IF YOU DRIVE IN SNOW, ANTICIPATE BEING MAROONED. A WINTER STORM SURVIVAL KlT MAY SAVE YWR LIFE. good leverage since you spend one dollar and you can THE WISE AVOID DRIVING DURING WINTER SToRM$. realize $20 in benefits." Of course, he points out. the less energy efficient your business is now the more money an energy audit can help you save. There are many operational changes you can make which can decrease a business energy usage. One way is to use a setback thermostat lowering the 1 temperature from 68 degrees during the day to 60 * degrees at night. This can save about 10 percent in heating costs in most areas of the country. Other ways to save on federal emergency heating bills include cover­ management agency ing windows with insulating material since this can cut If your company's utility building. If you would rather your E3isd for space heat by bills run $1,000 per month or conduct the audit yourself, as much as 10 percent.

Bruce won top honors in his weight class in the L.H. Lamb wrestling tournament, held last Sat urday.

Bruce is a four year starter, and had been wrestling in 132 pound competition prior, to his injury. He had a 4-1 record, his lone loss coming two days after he had broken his hand.

Biblical Wise Men Lakewood maintained its march down victory lane Tuesday night, recording a 61-41 win over Charlotte in a game marred by a total 50 turnovers, 24 by Lakewood. Coach Roily Krauss of Lakewood termed it, "A very sloppy game, and while we won, it was not one of our better gam?s.” Lakewood jumped off to a quick 10 point lead in the first quarter, outscoring Charlotte 17-10. Lakewood led all the way, and their early lead seemed to lessen their desire, according to Krauss. While four of Lakewood's starters hit double figures in the scoring column, they did not show their usual scoring power.

The first is, you don't know who, or how many people, have keys to the doors of that "new” old home of yours. The second—old locks are probably not as burglar­ proof as newer locks on the market. Most homeowners get all keyed up when faced with the task of replacing locks. They think special skills are needed to do the job and often put it off or don't do it at all. The fact is, special skills aren't half as important as the proper tools. Lock manufacturers usu­ ally provide detailed instruc­ tions on how to install their locks. Most even include an easy-to-use pattern for accu­ rately positioning the through-door hide. Using the right tools can make the job a snap. For example, a Nicholson hole­ saw from Cooper the Tool­ maker is considered perfect for this type of job. The holesaw fits into a standard drill for making n new hole, or a half-round Nicholaon file can be used to enlarge an existing hole. Your hardware store can help you select the locks best suited to your pur­ poses, and may have a few more helpful hints on instal­ lation.

Gale Baumgardner, specialist in the Department of Dairy Science at Michigan State University, has objerved that people buy goats for a variety of reasons. "The meat, milk and fiber that goats can provide are only the beginning," she points out. “Some people buy a goat when they get a place to keep one because they grew up with goats or they met a goat once they liked. Some people like goats for the way they look. The babies, especially, are irresistibly cute.’’ Goats often join a family as four-legged lawn mowers or brush brower.’, only to end up as pets. If given a lot of attention, they become quite affectionate, Baumgardner says. "People who want some­ thing to fill the barn with often choose goats because Temporarily buying paperbacks In quantity.

BRUCE CASE Lakewood Unbeaten PETS 3 year old St. Bemud to give away to good home. 948-2088 or 945-4636. THE HASTINGS BANNER. Wed. Jan. 14,1981, Page 7 goats are less scary than cows, horses or hogs," she suggests. “For many parttime farmers and home­ steaders, a goat is the first animal they own that is bigger than a chicken.” Another reason for buying goats is the desire to have some control over the source of the family's food by producing milk and meat at home. For this purpose, the goal has sevr-xl advantages over a cow. She's smaller, obviously, and easier for a woman or child to handle. She gives less milk-any­ where from a half-gallon to a gallon or more per day. depending on the breed, the individual and a number of other factors. A Holstein cow cnuld easily give five or more gallons per day. much more than most families can readily use. Because a cow is bigger and gives more milk, she eats more. Milking goats eat a few pounds of grain a day, plus hay, water and whatever fresh food they can scrounge. The family with a cow is going to have a couple of months a year, just before calving, when tbeir cow is dry. The family with a couple of goats can manage the kidding schedule so that on? doe is milking while the other is dry. (The family that tried to do this with (tows would be swimming in milk most of the time.) Surplus goat milk--when both does are lactating-can be fed to pigs, barn cats, the family dog, veal calves, orphan lambs and, of course, baby goats. “One problem with any dairy anima), of course, is that you have to breed her to get milk," Baumgardner points out. “Goat owners quickly find that rabbits are not the only creatures that multiply their way into the hearts and fill up your facilities. Goats usually have more than one kid, so the size of your herd can easily triph at kidding time. Fortunately, there is a market for goat kids for meat. Goats as 4-H projects are growing rapidly in popularity.

Jan. 14, 1981, Page 8 Hastings Downs Unbeaten Delton 65-49 Coming off a superb effort last week against Harper Creek, the Hastings Saxons outdid themselves Tuesday by knocking off previously undefeated Delton, 65-59 at Delton. Hastings got off to a slow start for the'first three minutes of the game, but once wider motion, the team showed it was there to play. The Saxons led by a 16-15 score at the end of the first quarter, but put on a high scoring second period, outscoring Delton 19-11, and had no trouble the rest of the way. Initially, the Saxons looked tense and careless, turning the ball over on two fouls hnd a bad pass in the first three minutes of play. Delton took a two point lead at that point, but Hastings then settled down, and had little trouble in taking the game away from Delton. Using a man to man defense, Hastings was able to force Delton into commitingcostly turnovers, and on the fine shooting from outside by John Karpinski. the Saxons kept building their momentum. Hastings showed a balance of fine shooting, with three starters scoring in double figures. Outstand­ ing under the boards was Jim Shuste-, who consist­ ently out jumped Delton to bringdown the ball. Jim also connected on eight field goals for 16 points. Hastings held a 35-26 halftime lead, and added a four point margin at the end of the third period. Half way through the final quarter, Coach Wayne Brown rested his starters, but his substitute; still managed to keep t he pressure on Delton, and the Saxons outscored Delton 16-13 in the final quarter. It was a big win for Hastings, especially since Delton was ranked tenth in the stale, and was undefeat­ ed prior to Tuesday’s game. Hastings will travel to Sturgis this Friday, hoping to keep their unbeaten league record in tact.

Pat Kersjes led the way for Maple Valley, getting 25 points, 19 of them in the second half. Both teams had a slow opening quarter, getting only eight points, but Portland began to find the range and held a five point spread at halftime. Maple Valley switched from a man to man to a zone defense in the third quarter and were able to force Portland into turnovers. While the Lions were unable to hit the basket with consistency, they were able to control the boards, with Jeff Beebe getting 10, rebounds in the final two periods. Kersjes connected on eight field goals and three free throws in the second half, and his shooting put the Lions ahead for good.

Howard Wolpe of the Third District, to serve on the National Task Force on Farm Export Expansion. The National Task Force is part of the U.S. Fann Export Education Project whose purpose is to develop a unified national plan to build a stronger U.S. economy through increased farm exports in the 1980‘s. Members of the task force will review “A Blueprin: for U.S. Farm Export Expansion" that includes specific recommendations for maximum feasible expansion of U.S. farm exports in the next decade. All responses to the first draft "Blueprint" will be considered in a second draft to be presented at a National Conference on Farm Export Expansion scheduled for February 9-11, 1981. in Washington. D.C. Following the conference, important features of the plan will be presented in an extensive public education program. Efforts will focus on reaching audiences in major urban centers across the country. Wolpe said that almost one year of research, development and organ­ ization has gone into the U.SFarm Export Education Project. The Agricultural Council of America (ACA) is providing staffing and administrative coordination for the project as part of its overall program to communicate what modern agriculture i .nans to America.

Barry County Studies Solid Waste Solutions In the planning stages since 1978, and expected to be explored for two more years before being completed, is the Barry County Solid Waste Committee's plan for dealing with the solid waste problem in the country. At a public hearing held Jan. 8,21 area citizens heard a report on the progress, and plans made by the Solid Waste Committee. Special guest Mark Day, from the Resource Recovery Office of the Department of Natural Resources explained the development of legislation covering the problems connected with solid waste management. Known as Public Act 641, the legislation requires local governments to come up with a plan for the proper management of solid waste. The legislation sets stricter standards for the maint­ enance and operation of solid waste disposal facilities. Steve Essling, Chairman of the Barry County Planning Committee report­ ed on the activities of various landfills and transfer stations located within Barry Colinty and how the new legislation forced some landfills to close. He abo told how some recycling of certain materials is handled at various landfills. Ken Neil, president of Hastings Sanitary Service reported his compliance with Act 641 would cost him as much as 610,000 an acre at his landfill. He stated be is presently recycling certain materials, mostly metal, in an effort to save space at the landfill. Seven refuse haulers in Barry county are now using his landfill, but Neil estimated his facility will be able to operate for approximately 40 more years. Paul Burch, consultant to the Solid Waste Committee told those assembled of the overall plan for dealing with solid waste problems in the county. He said there must first be a data base compiled, which will be updated continuously as more information becomes available. Several alterna­ tive plans will be formulated, and the final plan will have to meet with the approval of the Solid Waste Committee, the Board of Commissioners, local governments, and the DNR. A study conducted by the South Central Michigan Planning Council concluded the economic feasibility of burning refuse to produce steam which could be sold to companies in the Battle Creek and Kalamazoo metropolitan area. Under the plan proposed by the SMPC, Barry county would be able to use any applicable portion of the system that would be of "benefit to the county. “The 1974-94 anticipated Mr. and Mrs. Glen Lake volume of solid waste would unpt retiremeBt ftft from accumulate to about PA Mr..

Proceeds from the many local United Ways will be allocated to hundreds of local, state and national human care service agencies, including Michigan Heart Association, Kidney Foundation of Michigan, Leader Dogs for the Blind and others. 24 state and national human care service agencies are recipients of monies allocated by local United Ways through the United Way of Michigan. Over 350 United Way volunteers from all sections of Michigan were in attendance and each local United Way General Campaign Chairperson was honored for the leadership and service they provided their local United Way.

Puppet Aids in Health, Safety Course Learning about health and safety can be fun when it is taught by a talking ambu­ lance named Algernon, and a puppet ambulance driver named Alvin. The nine kin­ dergarten classes in the Hastings Area Public Schools are learning about household drug safety, fire safety, scissor safety, and good nutrition from there appealing characters em­ ployed by Mrs. Sharon Ban­ croft. Mrs. Bancroft is a student teacher from West­ ern Michigan University and is under the supervision of Mrs. PhyUis Usborne, sixth grade reading teacher, and Mrs. Mariam Sorby, school nurse. Mrs. Bancroft is a gradu­ ate of Hastings High School, earned an ass- sate Degree in Nursing from Kellogg community College, and will be-graduated from Western ir. 'April with a B.A. and certified in elementary edu­ cation. Sharon has worked as a registered nurse and Cooridinator of Inservice Education at Pennock Hos­ pital. and as a staff nurse and Director of Nursing at Provincial House in Has­ tings. The aim of this Health Education program at the kindergarten level is to rein­ force the importance of the safe handling and use of household medications. A filmstrip is presented in which Algernon the Ambu­ lance compares the safe use of asprin to the safe use of fire - both are very valuable when used correctly and both can be deadly when used inappropriately by children without adult supervision. Alvin, the puppet ambu­ lance driver, expands this idea by helping in the dis­ cussion of the safe use and storage of poisonous house­ hold cleaners and the safe way to carry scissors. Alvin is also used to teach the children some basic concepts of good nutrition. The child­ ren actually feed him a meal of food models, which he will swallow with great relish if healthful, or reject if not safe or nutritious, as in the case of too many sweets or alcoholic beverages and cig­ arettes that are never safe for children's use. The kin­ dergarteners seem to really enjoy learning through Al­ vin the puppet and through their active participation in the experience. �THE HASTINGS BANNER, Moo.

Donated by the Welcome Wagon were two new pieces of equipment to be used in the obstetric department at Pennock. An electronic device called a bilitimer, and a fetascope were purchased and donated to the hospital, last week. The bilitimer is used in determining an accurate measure of photography involving infant patients. The devise records the exact amount of time an infant is under a special light used in ther*py. and also gi,M , measure of the exact hours the light has been in use. The fetascope is a sonar device for counting the heart tones of an unborn child. The heart beats are amplified, which makes it easier for attendants to detect the heart sounds. Sue Haskin, chairman of the Welcome Wagon art auction was pleased with the project, which saw 80 people attend the show. Twenty nine pieces of art were sold at the auction, with the highest bid being $400. The Welcome Wagon has made the donations to Pennock a yearly event, and officials expressed appreciation for all the help they received during their campaign. Barry County In Disaster Area Declarations The Michigan District Of­ fice of the US Small Busi­ ness Administration announ­ ced on Oct. 23 that the counties of Allegan, Barry, Berrien, Calhoun, Cass, Clin­ ton, Jackson, Kalamazoo, Lapeer, Ottawa, St. Joseph, Van Buren and Wayne and all adjacent counties within the State of Michigan were declared disaster areas due to damages resulting from severe weather conditions ranging from heavy rainfall to freezing temperatures. Under the S.B.A. Disaster Program, farmers, home­ owners, renters and busi­ ness owners who crops, homes, personal property, business property and/or business inventory were damaged or destroyed by the severe weather condi­ tions may apply for low interest loans to pay for crop losses or to repair or replace their damaged properties to pre-disaster status. The amount of the loan is limited to damage not cover­ ed by insurance, and in the case of homeowners or rent­ ers, may not exceed $50,000 for real property, or $10,000 for personal property, or a combined limit of $55,000 for both. Farmers and busines­ ses may apply for loans up to $500,000. Interest rates range from three (3%) per annum to eight and one- quarter (8’A) percent per annum. Businesses that have suf­ fered economic injury as a direct result of the disaster may also apply for Economic Injury Disaster Loans. (EIDL). Such businesses are required to submit docu­ ments showing that the eco­ nomic injury suffered was directly attributable to the disaster. Funds received from the EIDL loans may be used to provide working capital and to meet financial obligations that otherwise would have been met had the disaster not occurred. Where possi­ ble, and without causing undue hardship, a business must use its own assets or credit from the private sec­ tor, if available at reason­ able rales, to meet its finan­ cial obligations.

Eggs Good Buy, Says MDA For some time there's been a question of which came first, the chicken or the egg? To many cooks, the answer has been the egg for it’s the first food served each day. .Not so true anymore. Eggs have moved off break­ fast tables to join the ranks of elegant candlelight din­ ners and delicate souffles­ even though many still sport a bit of 'devilishness'. In Michigan, where good things arc growing, eggs do come before chickens - in national production rank, that is. Marketed eggs total­ led 115 billion and ranked 16th nationally, while chick­ en and broiler production was 7.6 million, ranking 17th in the nation, according to the Michigan Department of Agriculture. To stretch shrinking food dollars, there's hardly a better buy. Two large eggs equal four ounces of meal nutritionally and six por­ tions still cost less than one dollar. When you whip those prices into quiche, crepes or omelets, you’ve got quite a mt in meal. When buying eggs, as with other foods, be sure to by the right kind for the right uses. Eggs are quality graded in accordance with federal-state laws. If you need eggs for poaching or frying, where appearance is impoprtant, look for Grade AA, Extra Fancy or Grade A. Grade B eggs have less thick whites and the yolks may be somewhat flattened, but they are good for gen­ eral baking and cooking. Eggs should always be cooked at low to moderate temperature? because high heat and overcooking will toughen them. And, if there is a good egg bargain at your grocery, stock up. Fresh shell eggs can be kept refrigerated in their cartons, with the large ends up, for several weeks. „,Nor“ Kay f (toft) Obstetric Supervisor at Pennock Hospital. and Sale Tale, Ward CM dMay a fetascope donated to Pennock by tbe Welcome Wagon of Haatinga.

Continuing Education at Michigan State University. The program is sponsored by the MSU Cooperative Extension Service and the Michigan Association of Consulting Foresters. Its primary aim is to introduce participants to the principles of real eststate appraisal as they apply to valuation problems in forestry, says John E. Gunter, Extension forestry specialist. “Participants will be completely occupied throughout the day and evening in an intense study of forest appraisal theory and practice," Gunter says. “There will be a social hour and meal before the evening session, but the program is one of total immersion." This is the first time the program has been offered at MSU, and Gunter beleives there is a real need for it. Forestry appraisal is often important in settling estates, computing income tax or setting a sale price for forestland, he explains. The program will include lectures, problem-solving work sessions and videotape presentations. Enrollment is limited to 30 persons, and applications must be received by Feb. 17. For a copy of the brochure and an application, or for more information on the course, write to John Gunter, Department of Forestry, 126 Natural Resources Bldg., Michigan State University East Lansing, MI 48824 or call (517) 3554)097. Future Bright, Reports Tourism Chief Although dark clouds have settled on Michigan's economic horizon, leading state tourism officials see a bright future for that industry, reports the January issue of Michigan Living/AAA Motor News. “The travel industry trill continue to prosper during the "80s, but the problem of energy and increasing competition from other states will intensify," said Gov. William G. Milliken. “The industry must be ready to address these challenges with workable solutions, includ­ ing conservation and dissemination of accurate and timely information." With gasoline prices rising and the senior citizen popula­ tion growing, Milliken predicts more group travel in the 1980s. Many Michigan cities-Battle Creek, Flint. Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo-are upgrading their facilities and will play important roles in the travel picture, said Milliken. However, with the current fiscal problems in fanning, the Governor said less financial help will be available from government. “Tourism businesses at the local and regional levels must work more cooperatively, pooling their resources to promote their area," be said. Development of new tourist attractions and hotels hasn't slowed despite the sluggish economy, Michigan Living points out. "Major motel chains continue to expand with new budget motels, middle-range and more exotic bostelries in almost every area city," said Wes Tebeau, West Michigan's Tourist Association chief. “Tourism construction in the billions of dollars is on the books already," said Sid Baker, Southeast Michigan Travel and Tourist Association head. Some of the major projects on the drawing boards or under construction include a 897-room Hyatt Regency and Auto World in Flint, a Stoufier's in Battle Creek and Space World near New Boston. ’ "Mayor Coleman Young said that Detroit is one the way to becomming America's favorite “visitors’ city." He added that Detroit's reputation as a convention city is at an all-time high. Tourism officials in northeast Lower and Upper Michigan expect to attract more campers, boaters and fishermen. “It (tourism) will grow because we can offer what others can't-open spaces,'' said Bob Helwig, U.P. Travel and Recreation Association director. Tourism is the No. 2 industry in Michigan. Last Year non-residents spent more than $2 billion and residents spent $3 billion on Michigan vacations, according to the magazine. Tourism directly employs 127,000 persons in the state. Hastings Firemen Answer 2 Calls Friday A chimney fire, causing no damage, and a fire in a single story dwelling Friday morning brought Hastings firefighters to the scene, just one hour apart. Firemen were called to t he home of Robert Leary at 2749 Coburn Rd., at 8:20 a.m. when Leary reported problems with an overheat­ ed chimney. No damage was reported as a result of the overheating. The second call, however, at 9:20 a.m. resulted in three firefighting units being dispatched to the home of Gilbert Herrings at 2899 Tanner Lake Rd. The fire at the residence apparently started at the top of an LP gas hot water heater, and the resulting flames got into the attic of the house. Heavy smoke hampered firemen in fighting the blaze, but they were able to contain the fire, which resulted in approximately $3,000 damage. Firemen were at the scene for almost two hours, before returning to the fire station.

Department of Social Services Gets New Office • It was moving day last week of the Barry County Department of Social Services, and the ambitious task of relocating resulted in only one day of interrupted service to county citizens. The new location at 555 W. Woodlawn provides the department with over 10,000 square feet of floor space, and triples the number of parking spaces available for Hastings persons using the services. Previously located at 101 W. Center 8t„ the Department has obtained a 10 year lease of the new office from the owner of the building J. DuBruin of Kalamazoo. The new facility conforms with the state's requirement of furnishing barrier-free conditions for the handiespped. The previous location Banner 301 S. Michigan, p.o.

It's under­ standable that if one parent has a problem that would hurt the child's upbringing then the other parent should gain custody. But in the case where both parents are fit, it is a fact, the women always get custody. It's discrimina­ tion and especially unfhir when the mother works and doesn't have any more time io raise the child than does the father. If women didn't have an almost written guarantee of custody concerning the children, then maybe they would think twice before filing for divorce. It might even curb the divorce rate. Come on Equal Rights, let's hear what you have to say about this. Since when did women become su­ preme? I thought marriage was an equal partnership. Apparently the law doesn’t think that way. Its actions are certainly contradictory. I feel that concerned citizens and others with the same problem should get some­ thing done about this. As it is, I am one parent who wishes he could see his boy more than every other week­ end. It’s robbery and I am sure there are others who will be glad when justice reigns over this injustice. Greg Freeman I I To the Editor: of religon are all shared by every American in this na­ tion. These standards have remained strong in our na­ tion, by constantly fighting the spread of Communism around the world. I am the first on. to admit that Vietnam was a big mistake. It was probably one of the worst military catas­ trophes of our time. I think it was wrong that men were drafted and sent to a foreign country to die for no sound cause. Vietnam is behind us now. We are playing a whole new game. I think the cause should be very clear in our minds if you stop and realize what is going or. in our world today. I have been very proud to serve in my nation's defense. There may come a time in this country when we will need a strong military to defend our shores. It is no secret that the military is in need of man power. Registration of our men at this time will guaran­ tee our military strength in a national emergency. I think the American in favor of the draft should sound off and be heard. I am hoping and praying that my views on this subject are not in the minority. The time for a strong military force is now. Bruce Murphy, USAF Corn Called from Grain Reserve In the Banner of January 14, 1981, a news report mentioned an incident resuiting in a charge of first-degree criminal sexual conduct in the Nashville area.

To Michigan Recession By HUGH FULLERTON Breaking bread (and drinking milk) with farm folks is not only a pleasure, it can be an eye-opening experience. So it was Saturday, when we enjoyed lunch with members of the Michigan Milk Producers Association, Mio were holding the Barry-Eaton and Lansing locals' annual meeting in Charlotte. It's easy to take farming and its practitioners for granted, even in a rural area like Barry County. Sure, we know some farmers, aee them in town occasionaNy, and drive by their places often as we hurry on our business. But we often overlook the fact that farming is certainly one of the basic industries in Michigan and America. And right now, in a depressed economy, it Sen. Dick AHen of Alma, M»o by profession is a veterinarian and fifth-gen­ eration farmers, brought soma focus on the situation in brief comments Saturday to MMPA members. Economically. ANen said, agriculture "is tryinfl to hold this state together" right now, when other industries are in deep trouble. Rep. Don Gilmer of Augusta, a fruit farmer, expanded on the theme moments later. Gamer said that agriculture is "the largest industry in this state.Jn economic importance. This segment is holding up wok." Gilmer kidded the firmer,, "Keep peying your texee, beceuee there'* not e lot of people doing that anymore." Getting aerioua again. Gilmer noted thet the arete "juat can't neglect thia inckatry end ■Home it's gofog to remain heeRhy." We don't hoar a lot of aquawking on the newi from farmera ebout how tough time* are. They have their economic problem* like the rest ct us, and some problems the rest of us don't have. Since borrowing is so important to many farmers to finance their crops, high interest rates can be devastating. And of course high property taxes hit farmers heaviest, because they have big investments in land and buildings. The problem is, of course, that farming is made up of many small (comparatively? operators, who speak only through their organizations. When a Chrysler or Penn Central has problems, that one business can affect hundreds of thousands of people and millions and millions of dollars. If a farmer has financial difficulty, it affects his family, a few small businesses and financial institutions who may be his creditors, and he becomes a statistic. Likewise, if he is successful, it makes only a dimple in the employment and economic figures. But Allen and Gilmer are right, and we shouldn't lose sight of it. As an industry, farming is vital to Michigan and the nation. If it falters, the nation could suffer far more than h could through a Chrysler bankruptcy. AU most farmers want is to be allowed to operate unfettered in a world free-market economy. American farm products are in demand worldwide. Our government must endeavor to break down foreign trade barriers, e xf counter the foreign subsidies and favors that occasionally make imports unfair competition. We also need to make the tax system fairer, and avoid unnecessary restrictions on U.S. agriculture. Like some other industries, farminfl has sometimes felt tl'e blow of extreme safety, environmental and other restrictions. If we give them the room to operate most efficiently, farmers can do a great deal to sustain our economy in these trying times. We're glad that we have a few legislators like Allen and Gilmer who understand this. 4-H NEWS County Goat Workshop Farmer who have corn stored in the farmer-owned grain reserve will be requir­ ed to repay their price support loans wiihin 90 days of notification, 1 Ray Fitz­ gerald, executive vice presi­ I dent of the Commodity DORIS J.

As a young nurse just out of training, she worked with children at University Hospital in Ann Arbor. Now, almost 60 years later, she’s a treatment nurse at the Provincial House skilled nursing facility in Hastings, where she is cherished by the home’s staff and residents. “I started with pediatrics, and I ended up in geriatrics," ahe says, smiling because she couldn’t be happier than where she is right now. For 86 years, Miu Smith held the position of Industrial Nurse for the Hastings Manufacturing Company. It was work ahe enjoyed, and it also enabled her to live with and care for her widowed fat her until his death. Miss Smith retired in 1977, and learned very quickly that she wu going to need more than social activities to keep her satisfied.

Manufacturing compan­ ies, banks, veterans organi­ zations and even veterans groups are now circulating what the VA calls the “old divident hoax.” It promises that veterans of World War II can collect a dividend based on their service “even if they haven’t kept their policies in force." The VA has been plagued for years by an annual influx of queries and applications for the non-existent divi­ dend. This has occurred annually since 1948. The hoax is fueled anew every few years by the mysterious distribution of official-looking “applica­ tions" and are signed by ’ Capt. Prosser” who is sup­ posed to be with the VA Insurance Center in Phila­ delphia. The form says the dividends are available for the asking even if the vet­ eran never paid on his policy since his days in service during World War II. The hoax also states that Con­ gress has passed a law giving the dividends. No such action has ever taken place. Thousands of dollars in taxpayer's money is wasted each year in responding to these applications. At St. Paul, Minn., over 400,000 applications have been re­ ceived, and are now flooding the center at the rate of about 800 a day.

According to deputies, t hey were cal’«d to the scene to investigate a charge of an assault on Linda Lee Benedict, 33, of the above address.

The Boulters dairy farm is located on Barnum Rd., north east of Hastings. Dairy farmer Harry Boulter will have to sell a lot of milk for a long time to pay for this tractor purchased less than one year ago. The farm equipment eventually pay" for itself, since its usage eliminate?. the need to buy cattle fee, and allows Boulter to raise 500 acres of food for his cattle. esiablish bus routes throughout the county. Once I he i wo-year funding of the system by the state has run out, the county will be eligible to apply for a federal grant to help maintain the program. Marfia reported Isabella County has a similar program in operation, with the system set up as a separate authority within 1 he county government. The system gets about one-third of operating funds from collected fares; one-third from the federal government, and the rest from 7/10 of a mill from the county. With the addition of the seven new buses, plus the ones already in operation, the system will be able to serve the transportation needs of the county, with 14 vehicles. Marfia said, “The implementation of the system will be a big boost to the county, in that we will be bringing 800,000 tax dollars back into Barry County, as well as acquiring the seven new buses. In addition, the syst em may encourage people to shop within the county, and not spend their money in larger cities outside Barry County." If the system works here like if does in other counties studied, Marfia feels that people may eventually take buses to and from work, thus saving money on gasoline. Once in operation, the system will provide full-time jobs for 15 people serving as drivers and other system employees. Marfia reported negotiations are now under way with Jack Echtinaw for the possible use of his garage as both a bus depot, and maintenance facility for < he buses. A Local Advisory Council was named Jan. 13 by the Barry County Commissioners to provide input into the development of the overall planned system.

GOOD GOLF Tips On A Low Score At A High Age By Jay Hebert Playing the irons shouldn't be difficult for the aenior golfer as 'long as --------he's willing to settle for shorter dis­ tances. But instead of using a fiveiron he should Hebert switch to a four-iron. There's a tendency among older golfers to practice less. No matter how long you've been playing, or how skilled you've been in the past, practice still makes—if not perfect — a better golfer. The short game can always use a little tuning-up. As important as prac­ tice is, don't overdo it. A half hour on the practice tec is long enough. Before playing a round, it's a good idea to warm up by hitting 20 or so balls. This loosens the muscles and revs up the thinking process. �THE HASTINGS BANNER, Mo>. Ju. M, 19(1, 3 Economist Sees Upturn This Year Bob Steoley Iceoterl ud Bass Yosefs accept Members of the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce Thursday heard the economic predictions for 1981 of Dr. Marvin DeVries, and the predictions didn’t look too bad. Dr. DeVries, an economist and dean of the Seidman College of Business Administration at Grand Valley State Colleges, predicted that most economic indications would be up in 1981. Among Dr. DeVries predictions: -The gross national products (GNP) will go up 9 to 10 percent, mostly in the last half of the year. However, since this is largely due to inflation, the growth of real gross national product will be only 1-2 percent. -Auto sales will be up 10 percent, over 1980. But since 1980 was such a bad year, must be handled with six to even with this increase car eight months, or the sales will be stow.

HOYT Anticipating yet another petition drive to get a property tax cutting constitutional amendment back oefore the voters, Gover­ nor William G. Milliken and legtoiativo leaders havn wasted no time listing property tax reform m a top priority for ths 1881 legislative easeion. State government narrowly mtoasd hav­ ing the voters reduce property taxes 50 percent at the last general election. Such voter approval would have crippled state government's ability to provide basic human services. Voters gave governmental leaders "one more chance" to do something about the spiraling property taxes with the defeat of the proposed constitutional amendment. However, taxpayers will be doaaiy watching governmental leaders end if they return to "bueineee ee usual" In Lansing, voters will probably reverse that decision in November, 1982. The property tax reform question to so important that MHIiken decided to give a "reform" proposal special coverage end made his plan public two days before his all-encompassing State of the State address. A $786 million homestead tax reduction proposal, which includes a $260 mHlon reduction in state and local spending, wee unveiled by the governor and he caitod upon the Legislature to approve a apodal state­ wide election on June 8, to present the tax proposal only to the voters. The proposal includes a sales tax increase of one percent, a provision that will replace $536 million of the $785 mUion cut in property taxes. The $250 million not made up would be absorbed by $125 million in spending cuts by the state and $125 million in cuts by various local units of government. Under the governor's proposal, the average Michigan household would see a cut in property tax Mis of $336 in 1981, but would pay about $136 more sales taxes, producing a net savings of about $200 per household. THe governor and his aides said they hope the net tat cut wW help to both pass the proposal and to defuse any further moves for a massive tax cut plan as has been before voters in both the 1978 and 1980 elections The Milliken proposal would include home property tax reduction of 36 percent, beginning with the July Mis, up to a maximum of $1,000. Senior citizens would get a complete exemption on the firet $1,400 of property taxes to be adjusteo annually for inflation. Renters would be able to credit 25 percent of their runt as property taxes, Instead of the current 17 percent. The state would reimburse local units for 89 percent of the revenue lost from direct property tax cuts, reflecting the $125 miHion in spending cuts to be asorbed by those untis. At the special election, voters would decide only on a constitutional amendment to increase the sales tax and earmark lottery revenues to -riucetion. Officials said all the bills and the constitutional amendment be approved by the Legislature by April 1 in order to have the special election on June 8. That date to necessary to have the reduction affect the July tax bills. Meanwhile, legislative leaders, during the opening sessions of the 81st Legislature, also listed property tax reform as the top priority. They generally seemed to be in agreement with the Milliken proposal and called for early action. �Local Businesses Fund 4-H Business, Professional Women THE HASTINGS BANNER, Mon.

Clarification of the milk marketing process is the purpose of a one-day seminar being offered in 17 locations throughout^Michigan. "Spotlight on Dairy, Producer to Consumer,” is designed to educate farm women and nonfarm women about dairy marketing. The session for this area, running from 9:30 a.m. to 8 pun. is being held on Feb. 2, at the Carriage Stop Restaurant in Martin. These programs are being sponsored by the Michigan State University Department of Dairy Science and the MSU Cooperative Extension Service in Allegan County. The morning segment of the program features discussion on the manner in which milk is currently marketed and the relationship of the consumer to the dairy industry. Speakers for this segment of the program are Glynn McBride, MSU agricultural economist, and Necia Sharkey and Bonnie Lynch, Michigan division of the American Dairy Association. The afternoon program has concurrent sessions on new and traditional dairy products, and farm management. The segment on dairy products is being conducted by Mary Zehner, MSU consumer marketing specialist and Gale Baumgardner. MSU dairy specialist. The session on farm management, which will outline how to develop and understand balance sheet and cash flow to determine the dairy operation’s net worth, is being conducted by Sherrill Nott, MSU agricultural economist. “The primary concern in the milk marketing system is to provide the consumer with a fresh and wholesome pro­ duct. Milk is one of the purest natural foods available over the retail counter," relates Herbert Bucholtz, MSU Extension dairy specialist and seminar coordinator. “These sessions will explain how this quality is maintained, the necessary costs (and subsequent prices to consumers) required to keep the dairy producer in business and the marketing system operational," Bucholtz says. Much of this has to do with economics but a substantial segment has to do with the law which helps guarantee the consumer a pure product." Because the dairy producer is so heavily dependent on consumer purchases of milk and milk products, nonfarm women are urged to attend the session in their locality “We think it is important that this producer-consumer relationship be better understood. Sessions such as this seminar will provide what we feel will be beneficial opinion and information exchanges,” Bucholtz says. On Trees, Fences In Hastings Cub Pack 3178 Enjoys Roller Skating Shiny New Snowblowers Dairy Marketing Ice Glitters May Still See Action If January's weather is any indication, those shiny, new snowblowers that saw little action in 1979-80 will get a workout this winter. “These units can be extremely helpful in clearing a lot of snow in a short time," says Richard Pfister, for the Eaton County Extension Service. "But snowblowers also carry with them a large element of danger if misused. That’s why it is extremely important to read and understand the operator’s manual before starting the job." All machine adjustments should be made before starting the engine. Most reports show that accidents occur when attemps are made to change auger height, make engine adjustments or clear the snow discharge openings while the machine is running. The hazards of making adjustment on the go are complicated by slippery footing and cold fingers, Pfister notes. Turn off the engine and make sure all the moving parts have stopped before attempting to make any changes. Top the fuel tank before starting a job. If all the fuel is used before the job is finished, make sure the engine has cooled .for three or four minutes before Hilling the gasoline tank. To provent accidental fires or explosives, always refuel outside, rather than in a garage or within a similarly enclosed area. Never run the engine within a confined area because of the hazard of poisoning by carbon monoxide, a lethal by-product of fuel combustion. Snow can hide items that might become hazards to the operator or a bystander, Pfister warns. Toys, rocks, a dog bone, or other such objects can be thrown a considerable distance by a snowblower. To help avoid injury or property damage, always direct the blower discharge away from houses, cars, traffic and people. Dressing for the job is another important safety consideration. Pfister recommends wearing comfortable, well fitting clothing. Do not wear long, dangling scarves and other loosely fitting garments that could get caught in the snowblower. It is also a good idea to wear tinted goggles or safety glasses to protect against glare or objects and snow thrown by the blower. Pfister notes that electric snowblowers should have a nameplate bearing the Underwriter’s laboratory (UL) seal to ensure that the unit has been tested and poses minimal shock hazards. Unless the owner's manual states other­ wise. use only a three-wire extension cord plugged into a grounded receptacle. Keep the cord clear of thv machine’s path at all time and replace the cord if it becomes frayed or damaged. PlNtMby Mur Lu Gray 6 pan.

MERCK Extension Agricultural Agent Various tillage practice options and their beneficial or harmful effects on the soil will be the topic of the next Lakewood fanners’ meeting scheduled for Monday evening, Feb. 2. Dr. Lynn (Bus) Robertson, extension soils specialist from Michigan State University, will be the featured speaker. Charles Krammin, Barry County ASCS director, will also present ASCS programs available to growers. The meeting will begin at 8 p.m. in the POD Classrooms at Lake wood High School, located east of Lake Odessa on M-50. Rising fuel costs, compacted soils and soil losses from heavy rains last growing season have all been factors causing field crop producers to take another look at their tillage practices. How much tillage should be used, what tillage tools are best, how reduced tillage should be managed and how reduced tillage will affect yields are all vital questions which arise in the grower’s mind. Seeking to provide answers to these Pnd other questions regarding tillage practices will be the purpose of this Lakewood meeting. Dr. Robertson specializes in dealing with such questions, and should be of help to growers who are concerned with reducing production costs, maintaining soil productivity, and being good stewards of our farm land.

HOW to Write a Person-to-Person Classified Ad that Sells! GIVE ENOUGH INFORMATION STATE THE ITEM Tell your readers exactly what you're selling right away. Don't bother with fancy features yet. They don't want to know it's "Wilson K28" until after they know it's a set of golf dubs. An ad that's too short becomes expensive if it doesn't sell your item. "Golf Clubs. 000*0000" leaves the reader with too many questions. What kind? What model? Condition?

GET TO THE POINT MAKE SURE CUSTOMERS CAN REACH YOU BE HONEST Don't omit obvious flaws or ex* aggerate the quality. “Naver used" might get lots of coils but "damaged numbar three iron" may get more offers. Your readers want to buy from somaone that they can trust. Just a phone number is enough if you will be home oil the time the ad is running. If not, your caller may get discouraged and decide not to call back. By adding "After 6 P.M." your customer knows exactly when he can reach you. Avoid long-winded language when short phrases will do. "Super de* luxe, attractive blue and white Atlantic bag" can be shortened to "blue and .white Atlantic bog." That way you can convey a lot of information while taking advantage of oui low Person-to-Person rates. well-written classified ad will sell just about any item or service you're selling. The example above suggests a few ways to rpake your ad effective. But even the best ad won't do the job unless you put it in the right place. In our Classi* fieds.

Greg Darby and Sargent carried the scoring load for Cedar’Springs in the second quarter, and shaved Lake­ wood's lead to just three points at intermission, but ihe last two stanzas belong­ ed to Lakewood. Heide and Drew Marks finally regained their shooting form, and Cedar Springs could not match the scoring power of Lakewood. Lakewood saw only two starters score in .double figures, but a 37 point out­ put by Heide more than made up for the lack of scoring balance by the Vikings. Heide led all scorers, getting 12 field goals and 13 free throws. Marks connected on six field goals and three free throws for 15 points. It was a two man scoring show for Cedar Springs, wit h Sargent hitting on nine field goals, and five from the free throw line. Greg Darby aided the cause wit h 22 points on nine field goals and four free throws, for his 22 point production. ■ The win gives Lakewood a 12-0 record for the year, and i he Vikings will try to make ii 13 straight when they will fake on St. Johns, Tuesday night at Lakewood.

Coming off a win against Marshall, Friday night, the Saxons looked like they were either tired, or Jackson was exceptionally hot for t he first 25 minutes of the game. Looking listless and seem­ ingly unable to control the backboards as they usually do, the Saxons gave away a four point advantage to Jackson in t he first quarter, and had to play cat ch up ball. Quick whistles by the referee saw Hastings get called for two fouls in less i han i wo minutes of the first period, and Jackson was able to work the ball in for scoring plays following the i umovers.

Head Coach Skip Pranger opened the game playing man to man, and was still using the same strategy when the final buzzer sounded, and Middleville walked off the court a winner. Pranger said, “We knew we could win if we played out style of ball, and we made no adjustments follow­ ing the end of the first half. We didn't panic, and the kids jelled in the final two quarters, to win an exceptionally well played game by both teams." Tied 18-18 after the first quarter, Middleville gave away an eight point spread to Caledonia in the second period, but then came back wiih an outstanding second half performance to record their seventh win of the year.

Banks, who resides at 3590 Lawrence Rd., near Hastings does not know any of the former hostages, or their relatives, but he considers them, "Part of my family, as much as if they were my own flesh and blood." The 82 year old Banks (looking 20 years younger than his age) claims he is not an exceptionally patriotic man, but Is very proud to be an American. When the hostages were taken captive. Banks felt helpless because there was nothing he could do to hasten their safe return, so he decided he could at least help them hi spirit. On the day the hostages were taken, Banks walked some 75 -ft from his house to a flag pole erected in his front yard, and lowered the American flag to half mast. Each morning thereafter he raising the flag only part way up the pole, and said a prayer on behalf of the hostages. He vowed the flag would remain at half mast until the hostages were safely home. Last Sunday, his vigil ended. Banks made his usual daily trip to the flag pole, but on this occasion, he raised the flag to full mast, saluted, and again said a prayer, this time in thanks for the return of the hostages. For Banks, Sunday marked the end of one of the happiest weeks of his life. On Jan.-18, he celebrated his wedding anniversary, Tues­ day he watched the inauguration of President Reagan (he has never missed the televised ceremony), and Thursday he Devoted to the Interests of Barry County Since 1858 Vol IM, N,. 8 Acting on four 91,000, until the 9200 cap is conducted again until 1988. recommendations involving reached.

Both the Michigan Historical Collections andthe Michigan State Library in Lansing have been able to have positive microfilm copie.i made for their library collections, providing these important early years of the Banner for historical and family research. The microfilm positive copies will provide a relatively permanent copy, now locat­ ed in at least three places, and will save the original bound volumes of newsprint from excessive wear. The Hastings Press, former publisher of The Hastings Banner, deposited the record copy of the newspaper at the University of Michigan for safekeeping and archival care. Through the suggestion of the owners of the Hastings Press that it would be possible to film the bound copies, and with the help of the staff of the Michigan Historical Collections, whose former director, Robert Warner, is now archivist of the United States, the papers were filmed by the University Photoduplication Service. Teachers Return To School for a Day It was school day Monday for Hastings Area School teachers, but educators found themselves on the receiving end of instruction procedures, rather than imparting knowledge in the classroom. Sponsored by the Hastings Education Association, and the Kalamazoo Valley Intermediate School District, the day was set aside to give teachers an opportunity to catch up on the latest teaching tech­ niques in various areas of education. Participating in' the all day sessions were teachers, student teachers, and substitute teachers in the Hastingi. Michigan Wed.

New Methodist Christian Ed Director Has Varied Background By MARY LOU GRAY Miss Frances Horne is the new Director of Christian Education at the First United Methodist Church in Hastings, a position she officially assumed as of January 5, 1981. She replaces Mary Kent who held the position the past four years. Frances, an exuberant 80 year old blond, originally from Concord, North Carolina, radiates her warm personality and modestly speaks of her background and accomplishments with a charming soft spoken southern accent. Born and raised in Concord, North Carolina, she graduated from North West Cabarrus High School in Concord. She did under­ graduate work at Pfeiffer College in Misenheimer, North Carolina, where she received a BA in Christian Education, in 1973. In 1978, she resumed her formal education and enrolled at Scarritt College for Christian Workers in Nashville, Tenn., where she received her Masters Degree in Christian Education, in 1980. “Scarritt College," says Frances, "is the National United Methodist Center for training of lay profession­ als." Following graduation. Miss Home worked as a volunteer in Christian Ministry in the National Parks at the North rim of the Grand • Canyon in Arizona. Her actual position was with the concessionaires where she made salads, served as a maid and even drove a garbage truck. In her volunteer work, she served as Director of Christian Ministry and conducted worship services, directed Bible Study and provided for Christian fellowship among the FRANCESHORNE National Park employees. When the season dosed at Grand Canyon, Miss Horae says she sought a position in the Christian Education field, preferably in the south or southeast. Having little response, she returned to Scarritt College in Nash­ ville, to be closer to her job placement office. Being located in the south, there were many other graduates who were from the south, and who also were seeking employment in the warmer southern climate. It was at this point ‘hat Rev. Sidney Short, Pastor of the First United Methodist Church in Hastings wrote to the College, expressing a need of the local church for a Director of Christian Education. Not hearing from the College, Rev. Short then called the placement office for assistance in providing the church with applicants for the posit'on. Not being immediately enthused at the prospects of a position in the north Miss Home neverthe­ less accepted Rev. Short’s request for her resume, which later led to a personal interview, reconsideration, and finally acceptance of the position in Hastings. Miss Horne had never traveled or visited in colder climates, and she vividly recalls the first Sunday of her employment when the temperature dropped to a record 20 degrees below zero in Hastings. Moving north didn’t evolve without considerable consequence. “In the west, my car had altitude sickness, but since coming to Michigan, it has frozen up twice,” says Miss Horne. It was one of her brothers who solved Miss Horae's first personal crisis in Hastings by providing her with several sets of long underwear for her new northern climate home. * Frances family consists of her mother, Mary W. Horne, who still lives in Concord, North Carolina, * three brothers, David, Eddie and BUI, and a sister Susan. Recalling her interest in Christian Education, Miss Horne says she was very impressed by a Christian Education Director at her home church, the Midway United Methodist Church in Kannapolis, North Carolina and to whom she attributes her own interest and pursuit of a similar position. "Almost from its inception, the Methodist Church was founded with lay people being very important in the church," relates Miss Horne. “A big emphasis is placed on the ministry of each person. This may be more time consuming, but it’s far more rewarding," says Miss Horne. Miss Horne's duties as Director of Christian Education at the First United Methodist Church in Hastings include overseeing the activities of the Church’ School and the Youth Ministry, which includes the administration, planning and implementation of various church projects. Her intent is to attempt to place a greater emphasis on Church School and also on Adult Christian Education. She is presently busily meeting church members, new church officers, members of the community and generally is getting acquainted with her new hometown. Miss Horne's tentative plans include a possible celebration this fall to mark �THE HASTINGS BANNER, Wed. Jan. 28,1981. Pm» 2 Initiate Adult Substance Abuse Program Obituaries MRS. CARROLL C.

Other Arrangement ^ * 15M Fire Can Destroy Gasoline Prices Energy Savings Increase Drastically Energy prices continue to soar and many homeowrers are turning to wood burning stoves as a money saver, but those savings could go up in smoke if the stove has been maintained poorly or installed improperly, the Insurance Information Institute warns. The problem of fires resulting from improper installation or maintenance of wood burning stoves is nationwide in scope. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that improper installation and misuse of wood burning stoves is contributing to a growing number of fires, injuries and deaths. Fire prevention officials, stove manufactures, the Consumer Product Safety Commission and the insuraace industry agree. They say that a number of wood-stovecaused fires could be prevented if just a few simple rules are followed. The Institute suggests a number of do's and don't'a: DO - place the stove on a fireproof base. DO - make sure there is the proper clearance between the stove and ' any combustible material (wall, ceiling, furniture, newspapers, or other flammable objects). DO - consult a detailed safety manual to be sure the stovepipe and flue meet safety requirements. DO - make sure your stove is made of sturdy, suitable material, such as cast iron or steel. Look for stoves listed by Underwriters' Laboratories (UL) or other recognized testing laboratories. DO - remember, if you purchase a used stove, to check it carefully for cracks or oth^r defects. The legs, hinges, grates and draft louvers also should be checked carefully. DONT - ever burn anything but seasoned, dry hardwood in the stove.

Auto Club's weekly “fuel gauge" surveys show that from January to December the no-lead gasoline average rose 14.1 cents to $1,835 per gallon, or nearly 12 percent, along main highways, and 12.5 cents to $1,326 per gallon, or 10.4 percent, in the Detroit area. Regular gasoline along main highways rose 13.4 cents to $1,283 per gallon, or 11.7 percent, while Detroit-area regular rose an average 12 cents to $1,274 per gallon, or 10.4 percent. “While last year's pump price increases were significant, they were far below the record price increases in 1979,” stated Auto Club Touring Manager Joseph Ratke. In 1979, average no-lead prices rose 53.1 percent outstate and 53 percent in Metropolitan Detroit. Regular gasoline prices jumped 54.7 percent along main tourist routes and 57 percent in Detroit, the large annual price hikes AUt° recortled 9*nce began keeping records »n The largest annual price increase prior to 1979 occurred in 1975, when no-lead along main travel arteries increased 10.1 percent to 63 cents per gallon. The smallest yearly increase was 1.3 percent in 1976 for Detroit-area regular. Auto Club’s surveys also showed that: •The biggest monthly price increase ever recorded by Auto Club occurred last February, when the aveyage cost of both no-lead and regular along main highways rose 7.7 certts. The largest prior increase was in August, 1979, when Detroit-area no-lead climed 6.8 cents. •Detroit-area average prices also recorded their largest one-month increases in February, when no-lead and regular rose 7.1 and 7.5 cents per gallon, respectively. •From April to December, however, gasoline prices across the state actually dropped .1 cent for no-lead and one-half cent for regular along major highways and .8 cent for unleaded and U cents for regular in the Detroit area. •Self-service no-lead gasoline rose 10.9 cents to $1.28 per gallon, or 9.3 percent, along main highways, and 8.5 cents to $1,268 per gallon, or 7.1 percent, in the Detroit' area. Self serve regular gasoline rose 9.9 cents to $1,219 per gallon, or 8.8 percent outside, and 6.6 cents to $1,186 per gallon, or 5.8 percent, in Metro Detroit.

Dairymen Urged to Limit Supply “ By JOHN BAER Eaton CeuatyAg Agent For the past several quarters, Michigan dairy producers have been setting records as if there were no tomorrow. And for the past several quarters, Glynn McBride, MSU Cooperative Extension Service agricultural economist, has been urging production curtailment. Yet, 1980 saw another production record set, and prospects are that 1981 production will go even higher. This prediction is based on the large crop of replacement heifers and the current market price. The feed/price relationship, though not as favorable as it was a year ago, is still encouraging. Though cull cow prices will be higher this year, closer culling won’t be enough to offset herd replacements. The overall herd size is likely to remain fairly stable. And average milk production per cow will be higher.

TROUT AND SALMON REGULATIONS. * * Monday at Hastfaga High McBride is not alone in advocating a voluntary curtailment in milk volume. To help maintain market strength, the National Milk Producers' Federation is encouraging dairymen to reduce milk production through »• closer herd culling. There are also other movements that ’ could force production changes. One of these is the expiration of the 1977 Agricultural Act this year. Amendments to this act which require dairy price supports to be announced twice a year, rather than once a year, and which set the minimum support level at 80 percent of parity, rather than 75 percent, also expire. Various groups are also considering alternatives to the present dairy program, some of which will be considered by the new congress. These include a formula based upon cost of production, a dairy index formula and revisions of the old index, trigger devices related to imports, and CCC purchases. A public hearing may be held on a proposal submitted to the dairy division to remove commercially reconstituted milk from Class I pricing provisions of the federal orders. The effect of the proposal, referred to as the CNI proposal (Community Nutrition Institute), would reclassify reconstituted milk in the lowest valued class. It is now in Class I, the highest valued class. According to a USDA analysis of the impact of the CNI proposal, up to 38% of fluid milk sales would be replaced by reconstituted milk within three years of adoption of the plan. These safes would displace sales of locally produced fresh fluid milk, which would be sold for manufacturing at the manufacturing milk price. Reductions in cash farm receipts would be much greater than the reduction in consumer expenditures. All of this illustrates how activities and concerns off the farm influence whether a dairy operation makes a profit or loses money. In most cases, the economically feasible thing for an individual producer to do is to produce more and more milk. The problem is that if every producer does that, the result is too much milk, low prices and a call for the CNI and other similar proposals. evacuated from London and sent to live in a small town with Mr. Evans, a stingy shop owner. Life is drab until Carrie and Nick meet Mr. Evans * sister, Hepzibah Green. She tells the two children and Albert, another evacuee, about the “screaming skull" and the curse on her house. In the days that follow, the curse is seemingly fulfilled. So Carrie is not sure what to expect when she returns many years later to Hepzibah’s house. In her first novel. Cages of Glass, Flowers of Time, Charlotte Culin portrays the “darkness of harm” of a victim of child abuse. When her father, an artist, abandons 14-year-old Claire Burden, she is placed in the custody of the mother she never knew. Claire's mother is poor, an alcoholic, and physically abuses Claire whenever she draws, a talent and a passion she inherited from her father. Moreover, an even greater threat looms in the person of Grandma Simmons, who wants to prove Claire's mother unfit. While Claire tries to keep to herself, she is nevertheless befriended by Qyde, a classmate; Mr. Beasley, an old black man; and a ghostly presence. Grey Cloud was a racing pigeon, and he belonged to OrviUe Breen.

MacDonald remember her mother's dying words, end though she hadn't understood at the time how anyone would want to take her brother away, she learned that being orphans in Scotland would mean a place found for her to work as a maid, and orphanage life for her little brother. “We are to stay together.” Elspeth said to the unhearing social worker. And they would. They would run away. In March 1903 14-year-old Elspeth and fl­ year-old Robbie MacDonald left Liverpool, England hidden among two thousand colonists heading for Canada, as children of the shadows, the Shadow Bairns.

Unit­ ed Methodist Women. By VICTOR SISSON We have had a new bird visitor at out feeding station this part week. A small, dainty, olive-green bird with a bright crown on top of its head, this latest visitor answers to the description of a ruby crowned kinglet, a native of North America which flits about quietly looking for insects. The kinglets live in the evergreens which we do not have, and which is probably the reason why we have seen it only the once. Most ruby crowned kinglets fly to the southern United States or Central America until spring. One of our favorite visitors is the mourning dove, as many as five of which can be seen picking around on the ground under one of the feeders at the same time. Mr. and Mrs. Byron Hesterly, and Jeff were Sunday dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. Corwin Tischer of Mote Road, Lake Odessa.

Honored with Dinner Orville Hammond of Cedar Creek Rd., Hastings, was honored Wednesday, January 21, with a dinner at the Tick Toek Restaurant. Former constituents, former Board of Commissioners members and a number of citizens honored him for his many years of devoted service as county commissioner, representing Hope Township and Barry Precinct 2. Orville served on the Board of Commissioners for 10 years and two months, never missing a meeting. He was the first to ever serve as Chairman of the Board of Commissioners two years in a row, in 1975 and 1976. He was also the first Chairman to start formally pledging to the flag prior to commissioner meetings, and that started February 10, 1976. Orville has served on every committee except the Human Resources committee, served as a representative to the Key Men's Club, and said he found serving on the finance committee the most interesting. When asked about his future plans, Mr. Hammond said that he was still sexton of two cemeteries. Brush Ridge and Cedar Creek, and he also cares for the Hope Township Hall. In his spare time, he says, he and his wife Georgia will spend a little more time hunting, fishing and going north to their cabin more often. .Marriage Licenses Clarence Furlong.

Write a Tale about Cats By HUGH FULLERTON Banner Publisher h's an old tradition among writers that if you need an idea, write about your cat. In fact, that may be why writers (and many other folks) seem to be partial to cats. They are independent critters, many of them ae real characters, and they manage to provide raw material for good yarns. So I was amused the other day when, as I sat in my kitchen near the window, I heard a loud crash from the garage, a few feet away. A moment later, a large gray tomcat dashed from the garage. Close behind was my rather small, spayed female cat-the one with the gimpy right front leg. She can't do much with that leg since it was injured two years ago, but she sure can do plenty without it. The gray tom took shelter behind the garbage can and snowbank, and crouched, hoping this mottled tornado would pass by. She didn't. My cat stopped short and faced that tom, inches from his nose. Bad leg or not, she took several swings at him, and he hardly moved. He was on her turf, and he must have heard about a woman’s fury. Seeing she had the big tom thoroughly cowed, my cat withdrew a few feet and sat, keeping an eye on him until she was sure he got the message. Then she turned, trotted demurely back to the garage, and set right in the center of the garage door, proclaiming to all that she was indeed queen of the territory. - When she was out of sight, the tom slunk off in another direction, keeping low to the ground. Wasn't that a nice taste of spring the last few days? You almost expected to see crocuses or hyacinths peeking through the ground. It certa^ily was nice to be able to go without coats, as our family did Saturday af 'ernoon. Strange, how temperatures in the 40s in the fall seem to be frigid, yet the same temperatures in January seem heavenly. The birds certainly noticed the difference. We heard the cardinals whistling their springtime calls, and there was a great deal of noise and activity from all the birds. That promise of spring just might make what remains of winter bearable. So there's the governor, asking for more money to spend this year to attract out-of-state tourists. The morning that news was read on the radio, the Detroit station we were listening to had some interesting commercials. Just before the news of the governor's tactic was a commercial about si the great things to do in Toronto--the theater, restaurants, the European atmosphere, etc. Following the news from the governor was an Amtrak commercial about how much fun it would be to get on the train and spend a weekend in Chicago. I didn't hear any similar messages on behalf of Detroit. And besides, most Michiganders probably would not believe them. We sat in on part of the regular quarterly meeting of the Committee of 33 last week. It wasn't exciting, but it was interring. The Committee of 33, in case you've forgotten, is the self-sustaining committee of citizens which advises Hastings school officials about the feelings of the community. The discussion ranged over various topics, like busing and school lunches. But the one of most interest seemed to be the policy of accepting donations for the support of specific sports. That policy was made shortly after the board had decreed that it would accept only general gifts to the school system, with the board itself deciding how such gifts should be used. It was an obvious reversal of stand, and the board is getting some criticism for it. Superintendent Guenther assured the committee that he would take their views to the board, to be used as input in future board consideration of the gift policy. We didn't hear any radical ideas expressed (the people we know on the committee are definitely, not radicab), and we didn't hear any harsh criticism. But we did get the strong impression that views which come to the school administration through the Committee of 33 are given full consideration, and may well lead to changes in policy or operation of the schools. r— Another tragedy struck Lake Odessa Saturday night on Jordan Lake Hwy. north of town when 29 year old Joseph Alvillar, was instantly killed in a snow­ mobile accident. His wife the former Nancy Haney, riding with him was not injured. They were former local residents until purchasing and moving to a home in rural Clarksville. Nancy is the daughter of Max and Janet Haney, local and the grand daughter of Harriet Haney of Provincial House, Hastings. Sue Peacock, daughter of Richard and Gayle Peacock, a senior at Lakewood high is the latest winner of the Student Salute. She was chosen by the Mathematics Department and is taking a class in advanced mathematics, and other classes including the annual staff and journalism 11, psychology, student council, editor in chief of the school paper, a member of the National Honor Society and captain of the Flag Corps. She plans to attend THE HASTINGS BANNER, Wed. Jan. 28,1981, Page 5 Lake Odessa News Central Michigan University at Mt. Pleasant, and hopes to major in teaclung the emotionally impaired, with a minor in psychology. She is the grand daughter of Mrs. Reine Peacock and the late Leander Peacock. The engagement of Harriet R. Haney, daughter of Milo H. Haney o. Hazel Park and David C. Fillian of Lake Odessa has been announced by the bride elect. David’s parents are Mr. and Mrs. William Fillian Beach street, Lake Odessa and is a graduate of Lakewood high school. He is employed by Oldsmobile in Lansing. The date of the wedding is planned for June 6. The bride elect is the grand daughter of Harriet Haney, a patient at the Provincial House in Hastings. Mrs. Kenneth Coleman of Freeport was a Sunday visitor of Mrs. Alice Archer and Mrs. Genevieve Bowerman. Frances Glasgow of Hastings was honored with a dinner at the Tiki restaurant at Hastings last Thursday when her mother Reine Peacock, and sisters and sister-in-laws arrived at her home for a belated birthday celebration. Others attend­ ing were Helen Hailer and Gayle Peacock, local, Betty Carey of Portland. Helen Peacock of Westphalia and Lois Peacock of Ionia. Wednesday Dean Shade of Hastings, Karolyn Stalter of Clarksville and Sherrie Wacha of Sunfield visited their sister Letha Reese who is convalescing at home after her hospitalization. They also visited their mother Mildred Shade at the home of another sister Linda, the Shelby Irvans where Mildred is convalescing from her recent stay at the hospital. Mr. and Mrs. Jay Erb of Freeport, who were home from Florida to attend the funeral services of her mother Ethel Blank have returned to Zephyrhills. Mrs. Reine Peacock has returned from a week's visit at Appleton, Wise, with the Eugene Jacobs family. She accompanied her sisters Sister Carmella of M *. Pleasant, Sister Magdalena of Wright and Sister William Mary of G-and Rapids. The late Mrs. Jtcobs was a sister of the four ladies. A group of 22 snowmobilers spent the weekend at Baldwin at a lodge for their annual trip. Rev. Robert Bentley of Bellaire was the guest speaker at the Con­ gregational Church Sunday morning, as he is one of the candidates that are speaking at services before a certain candidate will be chosen as the pastor of the church. The Oscar Gonzale’s are home from Memphis Tenn, as they took their daughter •• he Danny Thomas Childrens foundation for treatment and surgery. Mrs. Gonzales and Vicki will be taking trips as designated for therapy and treatment back to the Foundation. I hope the US flags will be dying, as now many yellow ribbons and flags are seen honoring the hostages. We all hope after so many prayers and hard work our worry will soon be over when they arrive in the United States. FAST Repair Service • Engraving '' • Watch Repair HODGES JEWELRY Your Full Service Popair Center 122 W State St Hastings Ph 945 2963 Shoot for the biggest instant prize Voice of the People To the Editor: I attended a meeting of the Transportation Council this past week. Whew! The major part of the discussion was concerned with three ways to form a permanent Transportation Authority. The three options I heard discussed were: private non-profit. Public Act 55, and Public Act 7. Contrary to it a name, the private non-profit is only private in that it is operated on a contract from a County Board of Commissioners. The County Board, which established the transportation system, is not Invc' ved with the day to day operations. The funding for private non-profit is still public monies-tax dollarsyours and mine. The non­ profit put of the name is all too true. Mr. Ed Porter from the State agency UPTRAN informed us that the transportation systems were never meant to be self supporting. Mr. Brightner, an attorney, discussed Public Acts 55 and 7. The law firm he is a part of has a good deal of experience in setting up these tax funded authorities. Public Act 55 has been operating for some time. This act is a more immediate process because there is no requirement to have two units of local government agreeing. There were amused comments about two local units agreeing on anything. Act 55 was restricted to a specific service area. The original limited service area has been wiped out by Public Act 966 which expanded the authority to multi-county. In this case of a proposed Transportation Authority, the Michigan Department of Transportation would have heavy say-so in determining the service area. Act 55 is very attractive to new agencies looking for funding because it creates very broad powers. A newly enacted Public Act 7 stipulates that two units of local government agree to join together to fulfill any public purpose. A unit of local government could be a school district, county, or adjoining country. This purpose can be a ski resort, an airport, or literally any purpose that two units of government can agree upon. A unit of government was defined as ' fw6 political subdivisions of any State or public authority. This creates an independent public authority (now a unit of local government) tjiat is called an interlocal agreement. The two units of government then submit their proposal to the Governor requesting funding under Public Act 7. Once the Governor has approved, the plan may begin operating in 90 days. All this happens without any kind of a general public election. All of these three proposed plans depend on tax money. In fact. Act 55 and 7 have the authority to call for a millage election to provide the local share of funding. Act 55 is restricted to a maximum of 5 mills in a local election. Let me see, the funding comes from Federal, State, and local. As far as I know, all that funding comes out of our tax money in the first place. Because the tax money is coming back from three directions, does not mean the government has found a money tree. We are the source, and it seems to me this transportation is a bottomless pit for our tax dollars. Concerned about your taxes?

Boxing in his first bout, 18 year old Phil Pederson lost to last year’s 118 pound champion. Lee Garza of Albion. Phil gave a good account of himself in the first round, landing a number of left jabs and straight rights to his opponent's head. Second round action saw Garza pressing Pederson to the ropes and landing looping left hooks. Pederson tired badly in the third round and after taking a hard left to the nose ,the fight was stopped by the referee. Trainer Carrigan tell it was a good showing against an experienced opponent. Brian Hill, 17, of Vermont­ ville, a returning 156 pound champion, fought Richie Salyers of Jackson in the last bout of the night's competition. At the bell, Salyers came out ’slugging, forcing Brian to cover up. After absorbing some solid punches, Hill came back to stagger his foe several times with hard rights to the head. In the second round. Hill began to out-box and out­ fight Salyers, landing stiff left jabs to the chin. Just before the bell, Brian stun- ned his opponent with a good combination, forcing referee Eddie Seccito to call a halt to the bout. It was an impressive performance by Hill. Rick Morgan, 18, and John Cheeseman, 17,132 and 156 pounds respectively, both drew byes and will probably fight in the quarter finals Wednesday, Jan. 28, at the Lansing Civic Center. Carrigan has high hopes for this three remaining fighters and said he was. "anxiously awaiting second night action." Golden Gloves fighting is popular in Michigan and the state is divided into four districts, Flint, Lansing, Saginaw and Grand Rapids. Winners of the district tournaments in the novice and open classes advance to the state championship which is held in late February and early March in Grand Rapids. Golden Gloves, amateur boxing competition open to boys aged 15 and up, was started in 1923 by the Chicago Tribune. “Amateur boxing is a good clean sport,” concluded Carrigan, “and it’s support­ ed, trained ana supervised by people who an- interest­ ed in maintaining the good name of the amateur stand­ ing of the boxing sport.” None 620 None Off-highway motorcycling is a popular competitive and recreational sport in the U.S. Yet, in spite of the fact there are some 12 million enthusiasts, gas consump­ tion by this group is remark­ ably low. Example: a typi­ cal off-highway motorcycle uses 18.8 gallons of gas a year-about a third of ths amount wasted by an un­ tuned automobile in the same period. 16,898 NOTE: $500,000 U.S. Government Securities in the foregoing statement are pledged to secure Public Deposits including $38,692.60 of the Treasurer of the State of Michigan as requested by Law.

Hastings Boxing team's Phil Pederson made a good showing in his first tournament boxing match last Wednesday at the Golden Glove boxing tourney held at the Lansing Civic Center. He tost to last year's 118 pound champion Lee Garza of Albion. Phil, a Hastings High School senior, boxes in th- bantam weight class and weighs in at 120 pounds. Returning Hastings Boxing team member John Cheeseman, who drew a bye at last Wednesday’s Golden Glove opening night of competition, will no doubt fight this Wednesday even­ ing at the Lansing Civic Center.

Maple Valley again showed very poor shooting ability Tuesday night, and as a result, was knocked off 82-67 by Carson City. Maple Valley got dose only once in the game, that coming at the end of the second half, when they trailed 35-31. Carson City took a 20-15 opening quarter lead, but could not safely pull away for the first three quarters of play. Maple Valiey got to within six points of the winners at the end of the third quarter, but a 27 point scoring stint in the final period put the game out of reach for Maple Valley. Three starters for Maple Valley hit double figures, but all five of the Carson City starters reached double digits. John Kent led Maple Valley with 20 points on 10 field goals. Steve Proctor and Dean Dykehouse each had 18 points for Carson City. The loss was the ninth one for Maple Valley, against three wins. Mapie Valley will be home this Friday for a game against Saranac.

If the two losses hurt Delton, their wounds quickly healed, and there was no evidence that another loss was on their minds. Delton took an early lead on their first possession and were never in danger In the game. The Panthers held a 17-10 first quarter lead, then added another six point spread in the second period to waltz home with the win. Four of Delton's starters hit double figures, with Dave Barry and Tony Green sharing top scoring honors at 14. Chris Hickey was high man for St. Philip with TO.

Although there is not much you can do to avoid being exposed to influenza, you can take some precautions to try to prevent others from getting it from you if you do come down with it. The first thing to do is to recognize “the flu". It usually starts with fever, chills, headache and muscle aches, followed shortly thereafter by a cough, a runny nose, and a sore throat. You may not have all of these symptoms, but you will know you are ill. The usual treatment is aimed solely at making you feel better. We still cannot cure influenza, once the symptoms start. Rest, keep warm, take fluids, and try to eat a light diet. Your symptoms should begin to subside in two to four days. Contact your doctor if your illness lasts longer or is particularly severe. When you suspect you are coming down with influenza, try to isolate yourself from your family, friends, and co-workers as is reasonably possible. Stay home if you can, especially while you are coughing. Do this both for your own protection and to prevent spreading influenza to other. Remember that when you are ill with “the flu" you are more susceptible to other, perhaps more serious infections that you could pick up from others. The strain of influenza virus that we are more likely to have in Michigan this winter is called Influenza A/Bankok/ 1/79. It has already been isolated from an ill Cass County, Michigan resident, and other ill persons from Illinois, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, and Washington. A strain of influenza virus similar to this one circulated in 1976 and 1977, so, although we do expect to have a considerable amount of influenza in the state, we don't expect to have what is called a major epidemic year for influenza. Two other strains of influenza virus that have circulated in the past three years may also be going around this season. We are on the lookout for them. One effective way to prevent influenza is vaccination. Since people 65 years of age or older and those with chronic diseases that lower the body's resistance are more likely to develop serious complications, we recommend that these people get immunized. This year's vaccine should protect against all three strains of influenza virus. We hope you don't get "the flu” this winter, but if you do, we hope we’ve helped you to cope with it and to prevent passing it on to others. Snow May Cause Power Interruption The accumulation of snow in recent weeks could cause service interruptions or possibly interfere with safe operation of certain gas appliances, unless precautions are taken by natural gas customers, according to Consumers Power Company. J.G. Northrup, District Manager of the Battle Creek District says ice and snow should be carefully removed from around outdoor gas meters and regulators. Caution should be exercised to avoid striking meter installations with snow removal equipment. Northrup- recommends that snow should also be removed from the front of basement windows or foundation vents to aid in safe operation of your gas furnace. These furnaces require a considerable amount of air to operate properly. Northrup notes that many mobile homes draw combustion sir from under the home or through roof vents. Owners of mobile homes with foundation skirting should have snow removed so that air can circulate beneath the home, and those with roof-mounted vents and chimney vents should keep those openings free of snow and ice. All chimneys should be checked periodically for proper venting. However, Northrup especially cautioned people whose chimneys are capped with a metal draft diverter. Sometimes chimney top draft diverters that are made of metal deteriorate because of rust and the corrosive effect of flue gasses and collapse on top of the chimney causing improper venting, Northrup said. Basement home dwnllers should be certain that foundation vents are unobstructed. Gaa dryer vents should also be checked for snow or ice covering at the outside venting point. a ■ k Bo One No More This is a friendly pharmacy.

Jan. 28,1981, Page 8 Hastings Stunned by Gull Lake in Overtime By JERRY HYNES If there is any consolation in losing, Hastings should be happy its game Tuesday night was a non-conference affair. Traveling to Gull Lake, the Saxons run into an aroused bunch of Blue Devils who handed Hastings a 63-60 overtime loos, and marked the second setback of the year for Hastings. The Saxons got a quick lead in the opening minutes of the game, and it looked like it would be an easy night, but Gull Lake hustled in a man co man attack, and kept well within range of Hastings. The Saxons held a 20-17 lead at the end of the first quarter, but that proved to be the only period dominated by Hastings. Gull Lake found the scoring range in the second quarter, and led by Bill Harrison, outscored Hastings 20-10. Hastings had plenty of shots, but could not score with any regularity. The Saxons usual high shooting percentage just was not there, and Hastings lost control of the backboards. Hastings pulled to within four points of Gull Lake in the third quarter, but had to work long and hard to get under the boards. Their outside shooting was unusually poor, and their ball handling was hampered by the hustling Blue Devils. Hastings outscored Gull Lake 16-13 in the final period of regulation play, tying the game at 57 each. Hastings had the ball with just nine seconds to play, and playing the percentages, tried for the last shot that would have won the game. The strategy was right, but the execution was bad. A bad pass under the board went out of bounds, and the game went into overtime. Hastings got the tip on the jump ball opening the three minute overtime period, but could not get the jun. • on Gull Lake. Two foul shots and one quick field goal gave Gull Lake the lead, but Hastings tallied with a basket by Jim Shuster, and Hastings was still in the ball game. Two more fouls by Hastings gave Gull Lake a chance to pull away, which they promptly took advantage of. Hastings had possession of the ball at the sound of the buzzer, but Gull Lake had something more meaningful-a big upset win.

Controlling the boards, and forcing turnovers, Lakewood had little trouble in playing their type of game, mainly feeding Jeff Heide, who responded with 28 points. While only two starters showed a lot of scoring power, Heide helped make up the difference, getting 12 baskets and four free throws. Jeff Cosier scored 26 for the losers, but his efforts were not enought to catch Lakewood. Viking Coach Roily Krauss expects to face one of his toughest games of the year this Friday, when his squad travels to Fremont.

Bottcher and Franklin E. Rothfuss, both of Hastings, have been appointed to the Board of Trustees of Pennock Hospital. Bottcher. has been employed at E.W. Blits Company for 18 years and is currently manufacturing manager of the Hastings plant. He previously served on the Board of Trustees and resigned in 1976 when he was transferred to the E.W. Bliss operations in Ireland. Bottcher has a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the Missouri School of Mines & Metallurgy and is a licensed Professional Engineer in the state of New Jersey. He and his wife Margaret Hostage Says Ordeal Was Good For U. S By HUGH FULLERTON Richard Queen, the U.S. hostage who was returned early from Iran because of his health, says that he would go through the ordeal again to reap the benefits which have secured to his country. Queen, said that he and the more recently-returned hostages have been thrilled ard surprised with the amount of support and caring on the part of the people of the United States, and he has been pleased with the resurgence of patriotism. Queen, who spent eight months as a hostage in Tran, spoke Saturday to newspaper editors and publishers at the annual Michigan Press Association convention in East Lansing. In Queen’s opinion, the hostage experience “united the country and gave it self-confidence". His personal ordeal was “more than worth it, for what it baa done for the country." The United States “gained very much as a nation," Queen said. “It is stronger, wiser and more untied than before.” State Department personnel in Iran were taken by surprise by the embassy takeover, just as the U.S. government was, Queen said. When it was announced that the deposed Shah of Iran was coming to the U3. for medical treatment, embassy personnel made preparations for Iranian reaction. They were expecting, however, demoiutntimu and pouible vandaliam, not the complete capture of the embaaay. Aaked whether the Shah’a viait to the U.S. caused the hostage crisis. Queen said that the visit sparked it. but was not the baak cause. Iranian resentment of the U.S. has been building, and diplomatic personnel were well aware of it. Queen said. “They were waiting for something, and the Shah offered the perfect excuse," Queen explained. . wh0 h“ * degree from the University of Michigan, was in his first overseas assignment for the State Department when the Iranian crisis occurred. His th^ U*S *,roeea*n® temporary visas for Iranians coming to Queen said that he and other hostages with whom he had contact at first expected to remain captives only a few days. As the weeks dragged on, they resigned themselves to a long-term imprisonment. Since they were closely guarded and allowed little movement even for exercise, he said that reading was the common way of passing the time. After a while, the Iranian captors allowed the hostages to use books from the high school library which had been donated to the embassy, and Queen was appointed librarian. Because of thia, and possibly his deteriorating health, he was one of a handful of hostages who were kept in the embassy for their entire imprisonment. He had no direct contact with most of the hostages, but he knew -when they did returb their library books-that many of them had apparently been moved outside Teheran. Queen said he suffered and observed very little physical abuse, other than being kept with his hands tied during the early days of the imprisonment. At one time, on Feb. 6, I960, a group of hostages were taken to a room, lined up against the wall by armed militants. “We heard the locking of the bolts (in the guns) and I felt this was ft," Queen said. He called the incident “just a pure terror tactic", and nothing like it happened to him again. Queen said that he thinks most of the returning hostages will have no serious emotional problems as a result of their ordeal. He said that all of them, with the exception of one American businessman who was captured, are professional State Department people, have strong characters, and not that such incidents are hazards of their profession. He said the hostages are surprised to be considered heros. because he, and they, feel they were just doing their jobs. At this point, the hostages just want a chance to return to their communities and families and resume their ordinaiy lives. He said that when he returned, he “fled to Alaska" with a couple dose friends for some quiet fishing, sway from publicity. He said other hostages just want to * few beers in the tavern and go fishing when they go Queen was assigned as an Iranian anaylst in the State Department after he returned and could go back to work, but expects to be assigned to Europe in a new diplomatic post later this year.

Pioneer Days Recalled at Central School Getting an idea of what life was like over 100 years ago, students at Hastings Central School took part in a special "Pioneer Days” program, last week. Covering various aspects of daily living by the ’ I pioneers, students, teachers 1 and numerous parents took part in the program. I Students learned what it was like to grind corn for ’ 1 flour, wash clothes on a ascrub board, make ropes, candies, and spin yarn on a still operatable spinning wheel. Involved in the program were several local merchants who donated items for the event, and parents who also learned what life was like if the pioneer setting.

Brickley Starts Referendum Campaign to Shorten State Ballot A statewide referendum campaign to shorten the Michigan ballot and reduce the number of elective state offices has been started by Lt. Gov. James H. Brickley. Brickley explained his proposal Friday to newspaper editor and publishers gathered at East Lansing for the annual Michigan Press Association convention. Brickley said that 86 statewide offices are filled by election, and he feels that the average voter cannot possibly know much about all the people running for these offices. He proposes to simplify the election procedure by making the state Appellate and Supreme Court appointive positions, under the so-called Missouri plan, and make the governing boards of the three biggest state universities appointive positions. Brickley. $ornrnent*n8 on the large number of elective offices in Michigan, said, "So much authority is given to so many people with so little visibility." He su'd that Michigan elects more statewide public officials than any other state in the country, and this "plural executive" makes it much more difficult for the state ot have coherent, consistent public policy. Some of the problems of government may be in the system, not the personalities. Brickley told the newspaper executive. The fragmented political system, he said “plays into the hands of special interest polities", who are stepping into the picture as political parties get weaker and weaker. Brickley argued that instead of making public officials more responsive to the people, the low visibility caused by the large number of elective offices make it easy for them to evade accountability. .. 2!?“” with ,ow visibIiity have it made." Brickley said. Their bosses don’t know who they are." Brickley said he will head up a campaign to gather the necessary signatures to put the proposal on the ballot. He said that the failure of the legislature to streamline the government "is one of the most serious, significant omissions of the past decade." Although the present ballot referendum issue covers only the courts and university governing boards. Brickley hinted broadly that he would also like to see some of the administrative offices filled by appointment, not election, as well. He clearly left the door open to a later campaign to further trim the number of offices filled by direct election at the state level. take their hand at trying to make candles much in the same manner as did early American pioneers, students learned much about daily living by settlers when the school engaged in celebrating “Pioneer Days" �THE HASTINGS BANNER, M—Jeb. 11 Ml, Page 2 Stanton Obituaries BEULAH E.

Weed Control Calls For Identification “It’s so basic many farm­ ers still overlook it, but the first step to a fully effective weed control program is to know exactly what your weed problems are," advises Dr. Bill Meggitt, wee spe­ cialist at Michigan State University. “Ajid that means all your weed prob­ lems." Dr. Miggitt currently is producing Michigan Grow­ ers Notebook, a three-times weekly radio series heard over a network of Michigan stations. Sponsored by Stauffer Chemical Company, the series is designed to help farmers keep abreast of farm management tech­ niques, particularly those related to weed control. “One of the first things you need to know is whether the weeds are annuals or perennials," Dr. Meggitt suggests. In many cases this will dictate whether you employ cultural methods, chemical programs, or a combination of the two. An­ nuals grasses, fer example, such as foxtail, fall panlcum, witchgrass, and barnyard­ grass, are relatively easy to control. Once they have been removed by either chemical or cultivation, they are no longer a problem. “On the other hand, per­ ennials such as quackgrass, Canada thistle, and nuts­ edge present a different problem," Meggitt points out. In terms of cultural control, once you cut them off or dig them out, they come back, growing out of underground rhizomes or roots to attack the crop a second time. In this case, effective weed control will require use of herbicides that will move down into the soil to kill the roots. “I get calls from growers who say their herbicide pro­ grams failed." reports Meggit. “I find that in many cases the herbicide program the grower set up was not the right one to control his particular weed infestation. It's important to keep in mind that specific weed problems don't remain the same. Staying with the same herbicide program when, for example, the weed problem has changed form a grass to a broadleaf weed or from an annual to a perennial will result in poor control which is not the fault of the chemical." Another point to consider in selecting a chemical pro­ gram is cropping sequence, Meggitt adds. “Not only are certain weeds associated with certain crops, but a herbicide which is safe to use on corn , for example, may have a carryover which will injure a crop rotation to alfalfa. “If growers are not al­ ready doing it, I recommend that they develop a weed map and a chemical map­ in other words a field his­ tory." Meggitt says. This should note the specific weeds in each field and how these populations may be changing and the chemicals that were used each year on each field. Soil type is impor­ tant, too, since in some cases this may affect the choice of weed control program and especially the rates of chem­ ical application. Keeping field histories from year to year also will help eliminate some of the residue problems that con­ tinue to happen, Meggitt says. “We've had 2 number of growers that made applications of herbicides such as atrazine that do carryover. Then two or three years later, they shift their rotation to tome susceptible crop having forgotten what chemical program was on the field. The result, of course, is needless crop injury. “This all gets back to proper weed identification," Meggitt emphasizes. �THE HASTINGS BANNER, Mon.

Classes to Begin Hastings ' Implement New Classroom Program By IONE CONDIT and DOUG LEVINE Southeastern School in Hastings is one of four eiementary buildings to have been selected this year to implement the Title IV-C Project “Creating the ‘Oui Classroom' Feeling.” South­ eastern staff members Donna Campbell, Barb Gerding, Joan Greenfield, Joan Kent, Doug Levine, Mark McKinley, Viola Pufpaff, Norm Richardson, and principal Dave Styf have selected an opportunity to impact the teaching profession by being a part of a creative, innovative project that explores the value of a positive classroom climate. These educators are part of a group of thirty-two teachers and administrators from the West Michigan area who are working on creating environments that promote an atmosphere of togetherness and coop­ eration. They are focusing on activities and strategies that foster the notions of belonging, interdependence, and mutual respect, during the thirty hours of training designed by project staff members Chick Moorman and Ione Condit. In addition to conducting the training, Moorman and Condit assist each teacher and principal in implementing the project goals by providing advisory services at the school build­ ing sites. Classroom observations, individual conferences, and support group meetings are the focus of the advisory services offered to the participants. The thirty hours of train­ ing include six three-hour evening classes, and two six-hour school day sessions, which begin in October and will conclude in March of this year. The participants, who volunteer their own time to attend the evening classes, are provided with substitute teachers for the all-dny classes. The entire project, including cost of the substitute teachers, is federally funded through a Title IV-C grant. The training modules and advisory service were developed last year and "tried out" on a similar group of educators, which included five Hastings Weed Control Topic At Hastings Ag Meet By David W.

If you are one of those people who have occasional trouble sleeping, the Better Sleep Council offers these tips for better rest: — Don't drink coffee within a few hours of going to sleep since caffeine can disturb your sleep; the same is true of alcoholic bever­ ages, especially in excess. — Try to go to bed and get up at the same time every day; a regular sche­ dule is conducive to good sleep. — Make sure that your bed is in good condition and provides proper support for your shoulders and hips. It should also be large enough for you to stretch out and change positions easily. — Do everything you can to promote restful sleep. Sleep in a cool, darkened room and try to block out or eliminate noise. BANKING at N.B.H is NO SHELL GAME "Now You See It; Now You Don't" is not the way dependable banks treat their customers.

If this is a study to uncover “input" by citizens, why are the people selected for such information, only those who favor spending taxpayers dollars? There are many corflicting statements in the article, especially when you remark that you are elimination duplication of costs. You are increasing costs. 14 vehicles cannot be operated constantly without excessive costs for repairs and operation. When you mention the amount of dollars coming back to Barry County, remember it will have uncontrollable strings attached. Leave it here in the first place, and we won't need to hire a staff to study a way to get it back with bureaucratic regulations and controls. We don't want a separate authority established within our government over which the taxpayers have no control. Where have you b?en all these months when taxpayers are protesting the wasteful spending by just such groups of our tax dollars. We don’t want our initiative taken away to be planned by a separate authority who has no economic conscience, or consideration of democratic rights of private citizens. If you are so concerned over individual rights and consideration, then give an opposition group the opportunity for input into the excessive waste of tax­ payers dollars by duplicate administrators. Isn't it strange, its always the same people who serve on these government studies. Our former hostages have experienced dealing with a separate authority operat­ ing within a socialistic government. Looks like we're developing the same pattern of operation. Why is it that the only people with operation ability are under the employ of government agencies? Our extravagent life style cannot continue. We thought Mr. Tisch brought this home to the average taxpayer. Of course, it was the government employees who denounced his common sense to controlling our economy. We are fast losing our Constitutional government that has made America great. We are being controlled by politicians and bureaucrats drunk with power and greed and deaf to outsiders pleas with common sense. In the remarks of Cameron McIntyre some time ago in this newspaper stating that due to lack of interest, respect for the rights of others, our freedom is ending. Again, using his words: Whatever has happened to "fair play, character, decency, brother­ hood, square deal, sympathetic understanding, honesty, and many more?' Politicians reward individ­ uals who Violate the above values, and fail to encourage individual initiative. This initiative is stifled by assisting bureaucrats to assume control of programs when such programs could have been operated much cheaper than with controlled greedy staffs. America is in the balance, and politics and bureaucrats are our downfall. We should have a choice of listening to people who believe in democratic rights, and private enterprise, or knuckle under to the control of regional socialism and become slaves with no opportunity to voice our opinions. This is what would happen with a separate authority set up within our county government. We already have too many goverment programs established in this matter. History is a measuring stick that determines our future. We are beginning to pay the price with dependency and bankruptcy. Radicals and traitors have taken over our community programs that voluntees and interest groups started, and turned them over to socialistic bureaucrats, power hungry corrupt personnel, and the indifference of too many citizens, commonly referred to as the “silent majority. This has allowed these programs to flouish for a small percentage of dependent p-ople with controlled taxpayer's dollars. Wake up Barry County, and resist this taxation without representation. You are becoming a confused, helpless, docile citizenry who will soon be ripe for the single party of National Socialistic Government. Erma Flory Senior Citizen To the Editor: On behalf of the Senior Citizens, the Barry County Commission oh Aging would like to express its gratitude to the many individuals and organizations that have bestowed numerous gifts and other kindnesses to the Senior Citizens of Barry County through the organizations this past year. During the summer many donations of fresh fruits and vegetables were brought in. These items can be purchased in the stores, but they taste so much better when they come directly from the grower. Cakes, cookies, Easter gifts, Thanksgiving baskets, Christmas stockings filled with goodies, were provided by the Camp Fire and Girl Scouts. What fun it is to open the individually wrapped gifts from the stockings. Many hours are donated through the year by the Red Cross Nurses giving free Blood Pressure Readings each month. Felpausch Food Center has bestowed many kindess­ es on our Seniors. Hamady’s and Northside Gun Lake Grocery sent food contributions. Individuals from branches of City and County Govern­ ment contributed by sharing their knowledge and expertise with Seniors at noon time. Consumers Power and Michigan Bell also present noon time programs. McDonalds sent milk, the 4-H, Galloping Goat Express made some beautiful and useful emergency phone number plaques which were distributed to the shut-in Seniors. Barlow Gardens, Hastings Flower Shop, Hastings City Bank and the Commission­ ers sent flowers to brighten the days. A special thank you to the Nashville Masonic, and the Woodland Eagles members for allowing the Seniors to eat their noon meals in their lodge building, in addition to other generous contributions. Mr. Dennis Munson donated nine hours as a certified CPR teacher to instruct new COA staff CPR and renew the certificates for those who already had previous CPR training. Linda Furrow donated eight hours to teach our staff basic first aid. We also thank the American Red Cross for setting up both of these training sessions. The High School Choir from Hastings and Nashville, The Vagabonds from Woodland, Rabers Stompers, EBI singers, Miller Family, Herminett's Hope Trio and many other individuals brought much joy into the lives of the Seniors. To all these individuals and any others we may have forgotten to mention we thank you and God Bless you.

Feb. 9 - 4-H Advisory Council, 8 p.m., Extension MICHIGAN MIRROR State Urged to Act to Preserve Farmland By WARREN M. HOYT The Governor's Community Development Cabinet recently released a report indicating new state agricultural development bonds to provide low-interest farm loans, treatment of agriculture as a target industry for economic and job development and establishments of exclusive agricultural zones are needed to preserve state farm lands. The report noted Michigan is losing farm land at the second greatest rate In the nation at 115,000 acres per year. Lieut. Governor James Bricktey, who chairs the cabinet, said, "When we usurp farmland and build on it our cities and villages, we move food production farther and farther away from our population centers. We also pay little heed to the need for greater food production for future generations." Release of the farmland preservation report came on the heels of a recommend­ ation by outgoing U.S. Transportation secretary Neil Goldschmidt that the state drop plans to build a new freeway leg southwest of Lansing through prime agricultural land and follow instead an existing highway corridor. The Transportation Commission approved the freeway rather than destroy homes and businesses along the highway, but critics say tho proposal will open 16,000 acres of farmland to develop. The report, however, does not directly address highway developed as a factor in leas of farmland to other development. The report does urge that "development should be directed away from essential farmland." "Farmland preservation does not entail the prohMtion of all future development but requires the directing of growth to ensure that there is land available for agriculture as an important economic activity", the report noted. Among the ways to channel development, the report continues, is to amend the subdivision control act to make it more effective in preserving land by extend­ ing the law to cover any subdivision of land in unincorporated areas and implementing the community development impact assessment process, which includes consideration of the effects of state actions of farmland and agriculture. The low-interest loans urged by the cabinet would be provided through new powers of the Job Development Authority, which through agricultural development revenue bonds would purchase loan guarantees. In order to qualify for the low-interest loans, the report says farmers should be required to enroll in the existing state program providing tax breaks in exhchange for a 10-year commitment to keep tend in agriculture production or in the proposed exclusive agricultural zoning. The zoning proposal would establish agriculture as the highest and best use of tend in designated areas. Other recommendations include furring for the Department of Commerce to designate agriculture as a target industry and conduct a study of agribusiness to determine how it can be strengthened; a farm transfer program by establishing a state authority for the mortgage, purchase or lease of farmland to keep family farms intact, make capital more available and to enable prospective farmers to more easily get started; and increased technical assistance, more agricultural research and promotion of the development of the agricultural support industry. 4-H NEWS County 4-H Members to Attend Horse Conferences By DORIS J.

Onion Stocks Decline Production and stock of 1980 Michigan summer onions both showed sharp declines from a year earlier, according to the Michigan Agricultural Reporting Ser­ vice (Federal-State). Sum­ mer onion stocks held in common storage by growers and dealers on Jan. 1, 1981, were estimated at 560,000 hundredweight (cwt), a de­ cline of 45 percent from January a year ago. Un­ favorable weather during the growing season and again at harvest are being blamed for increased spoil­ age of onions in storage. Nationally, stocks of onions in common storage in eleven summer onion pro­ ducing states and in cold storage are estimated at 5.3 cwt. on January 1, 1981. This is 29 percent below stocks on hand January 1, 1980. Nine of the eleven States reported common storage holding below Inst year. Sales from the 1980 onion crop were 17.6 million cwt. prior to January 1, 1981. three percent less than the comparable period in 1979. By DAVID W. MERCK Extension Ag. Agent If browsing the seed cata­ logs gets you in a gardening mood, the following lawn and garden activities, sug­ gested by Michigan Bute University Extension Specialists are timely now. Plan your 1981 vegetable and flower gardens and land­ scape plantings. Order seeds and plants early so you’ll be sure to have them when you want and need them. Check winter mulches on peren­ nials and spring bulbs and add to them ii necessary; inspect landscape plant pro­ tectors; repair any that are no longer keeping plants safe from flying salt spray, drying sun and wind, heavy loads of snow and ice, and gnawing rodents, and bring blubs potted in October out of cola storage for forcing into bloom. For a breath of spring of another sort, force branches out from birch, pussy wil­ low, quince, forsythia and other early flowering shrubs and trees into bloom indoors. Make cuttings with a sharp knife or pruning tool so you don’t injure the plants. Place cut branches in a bucket of cool (60° F), brightly lighted spot. As flower buds start to open, mist them several times a day. Keep the cut ends of the branches in water at all times. To extend the blooming period, provide very cool temperatures at night (40° F) if possible). Prune fruit trees, grapes, wisteria and other ornamen­ tal trees and shrubs (excep­ tions would be spring flow­ ering plants and “bleeders," including birch, dogwood and maple). Because spring flowering trees and shurbs bear this year's flowers on last year’s wood, pruning now would remove the buds and prevent flowering. This is especially true of plants like lilacs that produce flow- er buds at the tips of shoots. Winter pruning causes “bleeders" to drip sap from untreated wounds. Though this does not harm the tree, it does mar its appearance. It’s best not to prune them until summer. When pruning is called for, make all cuts flush with a major branch or stem or the tree trunk. Do not leave branch stubs. They do not callus over and often provide a place for fungus infections and insects to enter. These can reduce the tree’s vigor and harm its appearance. Check trees and shrubs for tent caterpillar egg mas ses and bagworm cases. The gray, foamy-looking tent caterpillar egg duster can be found encircling small branches. Removing them and bagworm cases, which also contain eggs, reduces the number of pests you'll have to deal with this year. Unless your houseplants are receiving 12 to 16 hours of artificial light per day, they’re probably not growing vigorously. As a general rule of thumb, allow soil to dry between waterings. Plants that require constant moisture should be kept evenly moist but not water­ logged. Continue to check stored bulbs, corms, tubers, fruits and vegetables regularly. Moldy or damaged plant materials should be discarded. If lawn and garden equipment needs an overhaul, get it into the shop now, before the spring rush. If you’ve been feeding wild birds, continue, at least through March. Birds come to depend on your feeder and may starve if you quit feeding before other food sources are available.

The first night game in basebail history was played on June 2, 1883 in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Lakewood Repeats Fremont Win Playing a stalling game Friday night on their home court, Fremont managed to hold down the point product­ ion of Lakewood, but- the Vikings did a better job against the Packers, downing their hosts 58-48. Lakewood had little trouble in scoring once they got possession of the ball, but the Fremont stall and deliberate slow pace did not allow Lakewood to play their usual game of “run and gun.” Lakewood took a quick lead in the opening period of play, and outscored Fremont 14-8. Playing their slowdown tactic the entire game, Fremont managed to tie Lakewood’s second quarter production of 14 points in the second quarter, but then fell behind in the third period, scoring just eight points, while Lakewood put 15 on the scoreboard. Fremont did outpoint Lakewood 20-15 in the fourth quarter, but it was a matter of too little too late for the Packers. While the game was more of a defensive affair than a high scoring tilt, Jeff Heide was able to pump 23 points through the basket to lead all scorers. Steve French Follow These Hints to Control Meat Costs Since consumers spend about one-third of their food dollars on meat and protein foods, the news that meat prices will increase greatly this year causes some panicky feelings. Controlling your meat costs takes knowledge and understanding, but it can be done and fairly easily when you put your mind to it, says Maryann Beckman, Extension Marketing Agent. Following recommended serving sizes (as discussed last week) is one hint. Knowing when to buy what is another trick. The outlook reports say that retail beef prices, for example, will average about 10 percent higher in 1981 than in 1980, but when will they go up? Beef is in realatively good supply right now so prices will stay fairly stable for the first three months of the year, and you’ll see frequent specials. Because feed costs are high now, producers won’t put as many cattle on feed. They’ll hold off till spring pastures become available for feed. Since cattle don’t gain as much on grass, total weights and thusly total supplies will be down come spring and summer. Decreased supplies means increased prices, so look for prices to advance come spring. Now’s the time to consider buying a side of beef for the freezer, for example. Prices won’t be any lower till at least fall and probably not much lower even then. Though buying a side is a large expenditure, it will pay to buy before the spring and summer increases. Consider buying individual cuts ahead Loo. Chuck roasts, round steaks and other beef cuts will be featured in ads from now through March. Buy when on sale and tuck a few into the freezer for lower-cost spring and summer eating. This is an especially good time to buy steaks for the freezer. Steaks are most popular for summertime grilling and when demand is high you rarely see sales or specials. On the other hand, longer cooking cuts are the moat popular choices now, so steaks go begging. Since the whole carcass must be sold, you’ll see frequent steak sales now, as well as sales on chuck roasts, rump roasts, etc. Buying a steak for eating now and two or three (or more) for the freezer tor summertime eating is a good hedge against higher summertime prices. You’ll save as much as 40 to 80 cents a pound if you buy on special now. Learn to do some of the cutting yourself to save, too. Buy a chuck roast on sale and cut it into some stew cubes, some thin slices for quick-frying or stir-fry dishes and into portion-controlled pieces for grilling. Stew cubes cost 11.99 to 12.39 when you buy them already-cut from the store. If you buy a chuck roast or a round steak at current “specials" prices of $1.59 and $1.89 respectively and cut the cubes yourself, you can save as much as 40 to 50 cents a pound. You don’t have to be a master meat cutter with years of cutting experience to cut meat yourself. A sharp knife, some imagination or some directions are all you need. For cutting directions, send your request and a self-addressed stamped envelope to “More Meals from Meat”, 201 W. Kalamazoo., Room 302, Kalamazoo, Mich. 49007. Learn to be a cut-up to save and to provide more "quick” cooking cuts which most of us want. Economists first predicted that pork prices would increase 20 to 25 percent over last year because of decreased production. Production is down, due to high production and feed costs and low returns to farmers, but the latest report available indicates that the cutback in production was not nearly as great as anticipated. Since supplies coming to market in the next 60 daj_ will be smaller than current levels, prices will increase, bui not nearly as much as was anticipated. That’s good news for consumers who can look forward to continued weekly pork features. Comparing costs and buying the specials will save you the most. Buying pork cuts ahead should be considered, too. for prices always increasee in the summer. Chicken and turkey should be good values for most of the year, for production is up. So are prices, because of the competition from beef and pork, but the values are there. The price of today’s chicken is little more than it was in the late 1940’s and early 1950’s. helped the Lakewod cause with 14 points on six field goals and a pair of free throws. Ray Ellis was high man for Fremont, collecting six field goals. Heide also led Lakewood in rebounds with 11, while French grabbed 10. Lakewood does not play this Tuesday, but will play at home Friday, taking on Sparta.

Lansing District Golden Gloves tournament, held at the Lansing Civic Center. Of the three remaining fighters on the Hastings Team, only Rick Morgan fought, while Brian Hill and John Cheeseman both drew byes. Morgan, like his fellow team-mate Phil Pederson had the week before, boxed a more experienced opponent. Fighting in the novice 132 pound class, Morgan was matched with last year's 125 pound champ­ ion Antonio Winston from the LCC gym in Lansing. Following instructions from his trainer, Rick went right .after his opponent at the opening bell. After an even exchange of lefts, Morgan was hit with a hard right which sat him on the bottom ropes. He was up in a hurry and, after taking a standing eight count, tore into his opponent again, landing a solid one-two punch. But Winston came back with two hard rights to Rick’s nose. Morgan was stunned, so referee Cliff Tavener wisely stopped the bout at 1:30 into the first round. Trainer Dan Carrigan said that, "Morgan showed a lot of courage against an exceptional boxer.” The third night of the four week competition will be held Wednesday, February 4. again at the Lansing Civic Center, Lansing.

It was a satisfying win for Coach Jerry Reese, who played 10 men in the one sided win. The win provided one bright night for the Lions who have had a rather dismal season, so far. Maple Valley had little trouble with Saranac, as the Lions held a 10 point advantage at the dose of the first quarter, then jumped to a 34-22 lead at halftime. They outscored Saranac 17-10 in the third period, and poured in 21 points to eight for Saranac in the final period of play. Maple Valley had three starters hit double figures in the game. Pat Kersjes led all scorers with 26 points on 12 field goals and a pair of free throws. Terry Pierce got four field goals and two free throws, and Jeff Beebe hit five field goals and three free throws for 13 points. Mark Haskins was high man for the losers, getting seven field goals. Maple Valley will travel to Middleville this Tuesday, to face an improved Trojan team.

Delton showed too much scoring power for contender Parchment. Tied for the league lead going into the game, Delton could not pull away from Parchment, as both teams played on an even par throughout the first quarter. The winner of the game Friday night was picked to be the favorite to win the league championship, and both teams played the first half on a fairly even note. Delton managed to get only a one point lead in the first quarter, and ended up with a 27-31 lead at halftime.

Led by excellent shooting by Dave Green and Kurt Niebauer in the first two quarters, Delton was able to match the points put up by Parchment's Jeff Prentice, and Kirk Strehlow, who had the hot hands for the visitors. While Delton held a six point lead at the end of the second quarter, Parchment was still within striking distance, but the third quarter scoring by Delton was too much for Parchment. Delton put 18 points on the board, while Parchment could manage to get only eight points. Both squads scored 13 points in the final quarter, but the big third play output by Delton proved to be too much for Parchment. With Dave Green hitting from the outside, and Niebauer connecting under the boards, Delton showed a balanced attack. Neibauer and Green shared top scoring honors, both getting 15 points on seven field goals, and one free throw. Dave Barry had five baskets and four free throws for 14 points. High man for Parchment was Kirk Strehlow, who dumped in nine field goals for the night.

A “flat" and lethargic Middleville basketball team suddenly came to life last Friday, and pulled out a 4741 win over Byron Center in the last two minutes of the game. Coach Skip Pranger described his team as being “down, flat, and showing no spirit, until we finally got it all together in the final two minutes of the game;" Middleville tied the score at the six minute point of the final period, then on the hot shooting of Mike Schipper, pulled away for the six point win. Schipper scored 23 points for the Trojans, but had trouble in the first three perids of play. He collected 10 of his points halfway through the fourth quarter. He also grabbed 17 rebounds, but the Trojans could not score with any accuracy after getting the ball. Byron Center i. a four point lead at the end of the first quarter, and stretched their lead to 26-21 at intermission. Neither team could produce an attack in the third quarter, with Byron Center scoring six, and Middleville only five. The Trojans finally got untracked in ‘he final period, scoring 21 points, while holding Bymn Center to nine. Schipper was the only Trojan to score in double figures, while Byron Center had three starters hit doubles.

Two of the accidents were caused by deer on the highway, one by loss of control, and one involving five vehicles was blamed on a motorist passing a parked car near a hill on Doster Rd. The stereo equipment was reported stolen from Hal Phenix of 609 Gregg St., Nashville about Jan. 28. Phenix told deputies he had an eight track stereo, two five tach speakers and a CB radio in the front seat of his vehicle parked in front of his house last Wednesday. When he checked the follow tag day, he discovered the stereo equipment was miss­ ing, but the CB radio was left behind. Ralph E. Ryan, 21, of S. Shore Dr., Delton, reported to deputies he was driving North on M-43 near Yeckley Rd. Sunday when a deer ran onto the road, and he could not stop in time to avoid hitting the animal. Deputies responded to another accident involving a deer, when Michael R. Bedford, 22, of 11985 Marsh Rd., Shelbyville told authorities he hit a stray deer on Chief Noonday Rd. near Peets Rd., last Friday. A single car accident was reported to deputies last Sunday by Theodore E. Vreeland of Lake View Dr., Delton. Vreeland told authorities he lost control of the car be was driving on Orchard St. near Eddy Rd. He reported he ran off the road and hit a tree. More complicated was an accident involving five cars on Monday. Sheriff deputies reported Ruth Ann Shoup, 38, of 12793 Sycamore St. Plainwell told them she was driving South on Doster Rd. Monday after noon when she saw e car parked ahead in her lane. She said as she approached the stopped vehicle she went into the left lane to pass the car. As she passed, another vehicle coming from the North approached her head or. The oncoming driver swerved to avoid hitting her, and tried to pass between-her and the parked car in the road. The driver was unable to make it through the space, and hit both vehicles, pFus another car heading in the same direction as the Shoup vehicle. A fifth car approached the scene from the South and swereved to the right to avoid crashing into the pile up, but ended up hitting a road sign, and finally came to a stop after hitting the car that was parked in the road Ms. Shoup tried to get around.

Delton Defends Home Ground Against Springfield Sprtagfielu visited Delton Tuesday night, and for the first eight minutes, on even terms with the Panthers, but after the end of the first quarter, found Delton to be a rude host.

Delton used c full court zone for most of the game, but then confused Spring­ field with a 1-3-1 zone. The Panthers attack war balanced, with four starters getting double digit scores, and the defense hauled in 38 rebounds.

By VICTOR SISSON The new 50 by 80 ft. ail purpose building at Grace Wesleyan Church 1302 South Hanover, for which ground was broken on Sunday morning. Aug. 24, 1980 is fast nearing completion, and those in charge state that they hope to have it ready for use within the next two weeks. There have been a couple of interruptions that have slowed down the progress, but on the other hand the weather was ideal for the early part of the construct­ ion. the outside work was completed before the snow and the extreme cold came. Surely the Lord had his hand on the project and blessed those who labored so faithfully day after day. A great deal of the work was done by the members and friends of the church under the supervision of Mr. Larry Mohl of Grand Rapids, an experienced church builder. The fact that a number of the men of the church are employees of the E.W. Bliss Co. and were among those laid off much of the time the building has been under construction, has made it possible to have a full crew of workers on the job every Hastings Area MXSWWW LAKE BIBLE CHURCH. 2625 Airport Rd.

Scott Page is not an exceptionally high scorer for the Middleville Trojans, but he made one of the biggest shots of his basketbail career Tuesday night against Maple Valley. The 5’10” guard onlj’ scored three baskets for the night, but his last one went through the hoop after the clock had run out, which gave Middleville a 54-52 win over the Lions. He also scored the opening basket for Middleville, but that was nothing compared to his final attempt in the game.

Playing for the last shot of the game, the Lions waited until the clock showed nine seconds left, then tried for the winning basket, but the shot was wide, and Middleville got the ball. With only five seconds remaining, Middle­ ville called a time out to confer with Coach Skip Pranger. The Trojans in bounded the ball and moved against the Maple Valley backboard. With one second remaining in the game, Page shot from 18 feet away, with the buzzer going off before the bail got to the basket, but the shot was good, and Middleville pulled out another win in the fashion they are used to-at the last minute. The Trojans took 15-9 lead in the first quarter, and maintained their six point lead at halftime, leading 25-19.

Terry Pierce, and both teams were tied at 36 each at the end of the period. Early in the final quarter Maple Valley took a six point lead, and it looked like the Trojans were going to get blown out of the gym. Alert defense by the Trojans, however, and erratic ball handling by Maple Valley gave Middleville two turnovers, which were turned into baskets by Mike Schipper, and Jeff Janose. Middleville finally tied the game with 20 seconds to go, and when Maple Valley missed their last shot, it was all over. Mike Schipper led the Trojans with 24 points on 12 baskets, followed by Page who connected on three baskets and one free throw for seven points. Jeff Beebe had eight field goals, and a pair of free throws to pace Maple Valley. Middleville will travel to Hudsonville this Friday, while Maple Valley will take on Montabella in an away game.

Michigan February 9, 1981 Middleville Road Accident Fatal To Grand Rapids Man A Grand Rapids num died late Sunday morning in Blodgett Hospital from injuries sustained in a highway accident in Middle­ ville Saturday afternoon. The victim was 41-year old Servwasu Vanderstoep, a Grand Rapids dentist. Barry county Sheriff Deputies reported the victim was driving a 1979 Ford pick up truck when he was involved in an accident with a Peterbilt semi-tractor driven by Ernest Schmidt, 26, of 61554 Coats Grove Rd., Woodland. According to police reports, the accident occured near the Middleville branch of the Hastings City Branch on M-37. Schmidt told authorities he was north bound on M-37 and he saw a vehicle signal for a left turn in front of him. Another driver applied his brakes after seeing the front car signal. When Schmidt saw the brake lights go on, he applied his brakes, but lost control of his truck, crossed the center line, and the rear of his truck was hit head on by Vanderstoep. Schmidt was not pulling a trailer at the time of the accident. Both drivers were alone in their vehicles at the time. The only person injured was Vanderstoep, who was taken by Middleville ambulance to Blodgett Hospital. The accident is still under investigation. 3 School Groups Take 1981-82 Wage Freezes Three groups of Hastings St hool employees have accepted wage freezes for tie 1981-82 school year, and tl tie Hastings Board of E iucation Tuesday night w 11 take action to accept ctntract extensions for th em. The food service workers, custodial-maintenance wprkers, and administ­ rators, supervisors and nonui ion secretaries have all a; reedto forego salary in reases next year. The estimated savings fr<>m the freezes total more than $100,000. School officials negotiated one-year contract extensions with the food service custodial-main teanance people. However, Superintendent Richard Guenther emphasize that the wage freezes were initiated voluntarily with the three groups involved. The extension and wage freeze with the food service workers . will save the schools an estimated $9,500. The contract extension with the custodial-maintenance workers will save $40,000. The school district will save an estimated $53,000 from the action of the Three Apprehended in Welfare Fraud Attempt An alert caseworker at the Barry Cobnty Depart­ ment of Social Services was credited last Friday for the apprehension by Hastings City Police of three people suspected of attempted welfare fraud, according to officials of the DSS. The arrest of three suspects was culminated with a high speed chase by Hastings Police which ended on M-43 near Quimby Rd., just outside Hastings. The chain of events start­ ed about 2:30 p.m. Friday at the office of DSS in Hastings. According to Rick Gretzinger, Assistance Payment Supervisor atDSS, a woman claiming to have five children and no food or money applied for assistance in the form of food stamps or money. The woman claimed she was living with an aunt in Hastings, since she just came to Hastings from Ohio. Gretzinger offered to supply the woman with items from the food bank at the office. The woman refused the offer of food, insisting on getting only money or food stamps. Suspicious of the action of the applicant, Mrs. ~ Bev Lind, caseworker at DSS alerted Gretzinger who began to interview the wopian seeking aid. Mrs. Lind recalled getting a flyer and an artist’s sketch of two women wanted for welfare fraud in Calhoun County. The woman applied for aid did not fit the description of the woman named in the flyer. “John Doe” warrants were also issued for the arrest of the women described in a bulletin supplied by Office of the Inspector General in Lansing. While still suspicious, officials at DSS were not too alarmed over the behavior of the woman appficant,until a similar situation arose a few minutes later involving another woman. The second applicant for assistance claimed to have eight children, and she too had just moved to Hastings from Illinois. While the description of the woman on the flyer furnished by the state did not fit that of the woman in the office, the method of operation used by the two wanted women did Hundreds of spectators line the raring drag strip set fit that of the two women applying for aid. Gretzinger called the Lansing office and gave details of the incident to an Inspector in the state office. The inspector asked Gretzinger if there was a black Cadillac bearing Illinois license plates parked in the lot. Gretzinger reported there was no vehicle fitting that description in the area. The state official then told Students on Up Town" held the post event an annual affair. Gretzinger to try to detain the woman applying for help, and he then called the Hastings City Police and asked officers to talk to the w(M|en in the DSS office. On thehvay to the office police spited the Cadillac described by officials in Lansing. The driver of the Cadillac sped out of town, trying to elude polire. He was overtakenby ' police, and apprehended. Meanwhile, other police officers arrived at the office of DSS just as the woman claiming to have eight children hastily left .the office and was detained by officers. When told they wanted to discuss with her a cas* involving fraud. tho wojnan tried to run away, but was taken into custody. Meanwhile, the first wo<nan in the case was almost finished with her interview, and said she was anxious to get to the Post administrators, supervisors and non-union secretaries to forego a pay increase for a year. In other business at the regular board meeting Tuesday, -the board will consider Guenther’s recommendation to recall one teacher and hire another teacher to fill vacancies. Guenther will recommend the recall of Tim Newsted to teach at Pieasantview School. His salary for the remainder of the school year will be $7,670. Newsted has been teaching in Lawrence, Mich, and the Hastings awaited his release from the Lawrence contract before recalling him. Carol Gaskin is being recommended to teach the mentally impaired. She has a bachelor of science from Central Michigan University, and her salary for the semester will be $6,843. She fills the vacancy created when Steve Hodgson went to the Intermediate School District. Guenther will also recommend that the board schedule dosed sessions for March 10 and April 21, following regular board meetings. The board recently contracted with the Michigan School Board Association to represent the Hastings board in its negotiations with the Hastings Education Association, which represents the teachers. Office, since food stamps are not sold after 3:00 p.m. Subsequently she too was apprehended by officers as one of the suspects wanted for earlier welfare fraud. There were two outstanding Mk-ny warrants issued for both women, but it could not immediately be determined just exactly who the women were, since they both had numerous different pieces of identification, and aliases. List at Tech. Michigan Technological University announced last week that two Hastings residents have been placed on the Dean’s List for academic excellence. Sheryl A. Sorhy, a junior majoring in civil engineering received a perfect mark of 4.0 for the semester ending. Janis L. Shaltis was also named to the Dean's List. She is majoring in business administration. 2 Missionary Couples Find a “Home” in Hastings By VICTOR SISSON Il is not uncommon for the Missionary Home located at 410 Oakdale Road to be occupied by Missionaries, representatives of the Wes­ leyan piurch, home on fur­ lough. The occupants may be a couple or an entire family and they may come from Misson fields in almost any part of the world, for the Wesleyan Church has its Missionaries working in al­ most every country on the globe.* However, there is seldom more than one field represented here at the same time. At present there are two Missionary couples living in the home, coming from two different fields - Japan and Honduras. The Johnsons have come from Japan and the Davises from Hondu­ ras. Perhaps we should not say that these couples are living in Hastings, but at least this is their home address while they are on furlough, and this is the place they “come home to" whenever they can. For tht truth is that missionaries on furlough are not exactly on vacation. Thier time at home is pretty much scheduled by Mission­ ary Headquarters, in this case at Marion, Ind. As a rule, their weekends are taken up with meetings in the various churches, in many or perhaps ail of the states of the union and even in Canada. There are camp meetings, conventions, etc. that run for days in a row and perhaps one of these is followed by others in other states. It may be weeks at a time that the missionary on furlough does not get home. Harold Johnson of Fre­ mont, Mich, and Edna Miller of Marengo, Ohio met at Marion College, where both were enrolled, and it was love at first sight. They were married in the fall of 1948 and the cal) they had heard before their marriage Harold and Edna Johnson Plan to return to Japan materialized in 1952 when they went to Japan to work in cooperation with Im­ manuel Church. His work has been in evangelism, with the musical talent with which both are blessed, play­ ing a major part. He has also taught in the Immanuel Bible Training College. He is past president of Japan Evangelical Missionary As­ sociation and is prerently Director of the Japan Mis­ sionary Language Inrtituie and is on the board of several interchurch commit­ tees along with his duties with the Immanuel Church of Japan. When the Johnsons were home on furlough in 1969-70 they lived in the Missionary Home in Hastings and easily won their way into the hearts of the Wesleyan Church. When their fur­ lough time was up, they were informed that due to lack of funds, the church could not afford to send *.hem back at that time. Fortunately there was no immediate demand for the Home by any other mission­ aries coming home so they were permitted to retain their residence there. Mr. Johnson signed a con­ tract to teach voice at the I^ikewood High School for one year. When that time was up, money was still scarce in the Missionary De­ partment and the Johnsons accepted a call to pastor the Weleyan Church at Apple­ ton, Wis. At the end of nine months the financial condi­ tion had changed and they again returned to their first love, the mission field in Japan. Mr. Johnson returned to the states in May, 1980 to attend the General Confer­ ence. Mrs. Johnson stayed in Japan with their youngster son. Nathaniel-more com­ monly known at Than- who was graduating from the Christian Academy in Japan for missionary kids (where his brother and sisters had also graduated! in June, and then they joined the rest of the family here. The Johnsons are the parents of four children, two daughters and two sons. Their first child, daughter Lorelei, was born in Bara­ boo. Wis. She married Rev. Ronald Verdee and they are now pastoring a United Methodist Church in Fort Wayne, Ind. They have two children, ages seven and four. The other children were all born in Japan and are: Flossie, a teacher of fifth graders in a Christian school in Fort Wayne, who com­ pleted her master's degree in elementary education at Indiana University in 1980. Following in the footsteps of her parents, she plans to leave in August for Japan under the Evangelistical Al­ liance Mission where she will teach at the Christian Academy of Japan. Timothy is a senior at Taylor University, Upland. Ind., majoring in con muni­ cations, and Nathaniel is a freshman at Marion College, Marion , Ind. The children all attended school in Has­ tings during their first fur­ lough here in 1968-69. In the 1980 family Christmas letter written by Than, he said. “Two years ago 1 felt the Lord calling me to be a missionary. I have said 'Yes* to Him and look forward to some sort of missionary service, hopefully back in Japan. Please pray with me that I will be sensitive to the Lord's leading in my life in ever/ detail." The Johnsons spent three weeks in deputation work in Canada early in the fall and on Monday, Feb. 2, they returned to Hastings from Wilmore. Ky. where they studied during January at Asbury Theological Semi­ nary. Their present plans are to return to Japan in August. , William Davis, a native of Belfast, Northern Ireland, felt the call to serve in the mission field and in 1940 left Liverpool and came to New York City. There he joined the World Wide Evangelis­ tic Crusade and was soon on his way to Colombia, South America, where he was to spend the next 18 years of his fife. Perhaps it was about the same time that he was hearing the call, God was taiking to a young lady in far away Saskatchewan, Can­ ada, and she as listening. I wasn't long until Dorothy Haine also arrived on the mission field in Colombia and these two young people met. But the law there was that a couple had to spend two years on the field before they could marry, so they had to wait. On Dec. 1, 1943 they were married and spent the first 18 years of their life to­ gether in Colombia. They them moved to Hon­ duras and that has been their home since. The Davises came to the states on furlough and arriv­ ed at the missionary home in Hastings on Sept. 3, 1980. Since that time they have made their home - when they were at home - in the second apartment there. However they have spent quite a bit of time at the mission headquarters in Ma,*ion, Ind., and filling speaking engagements in a number of states. They returned to Hastings from one of these trins on Monday, Feb. 2, and were to leave again Saturday. Itev. Davis is not a naturalized citizen of the United States; it is necessarv for a person from a foreign country to reside in the U.S. for a year before he can become a citizen and it has never been possible for the Davises to stay here that long. He told us they hope th eV car meet that require­ ment or. this furlough. They areI registered as resident aliens and they have to go to Hammond, Ind., and have this renewed every seven yeaip. Mr. and Mrs. Davis are also the parents of four children, on daughter and three sons: The daughter. Mrs. David (Esther Jean) Connelly, is a teacher of English to foreign students in Trenton, NJ., William Robert, a registered nurse, lives in Ottawa, Canada, and is the father of the Davis’ three grandchildren (they had two boys and soon after reaching nome Monday they had a telephone call from William, imforming them of he birth that morning of a baby girl). Keith Hamilton resides in Rochester. N.Y. and is a systems analyst al Kodak. The youngest son, James Gordon, was born in the Wesleyan Parsonage of the East Odessa Church north of Lake Odessa when the couple were here on furlough. James is making a career in the U.S. Army. William nnd Dorothy Davis Home from Honduras Rev. and Mrs. Davis are not sure at this time just when they will be returning to Honduras, but there is much work awaiting them there and they look forward to getting back on the field. They are deeply grateful to the Missionary Societies of the Michigan Conference for making the Missionary Home available to them on their furlough, and for the friendliness of the people of Hastings, during their stay here. The Missionary Home is a beautiful two story brick house with big columns on the front. It was built in 1967-68 by the Missionary Societies of the Conference who are still in charge and have the upkeep of the building to care for. The Johnsons were the first mis­ sionaries heme on furlough to occupy the house, so it seems more like home to them this time here. Rev. Johnson has given the wood­ en part of the structure a new coat of white paint while they were here this past summer. During the building of the house, many of the people who attended the conference and camp meeting on the campgrounds were interest­ ed, or curious, to see the construction and would cut across from the grounds to Pinewood Drive which goes south from Oakdale Rd. along the east side of the I. .ne. To get to that road they had to go through the yard of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Cheney's home. Many of them, when they reached the edge of the yard, realized that to go farther would be trespassing and would turn back and go clear around by the road. So Edgar, 'big hear’cd Ed” made a large sign and posted it in plain view, stating that if they were wanting to go over the new home they were welcome to go across their yard. And that helped! �THE HASTINGS BANNER, Monday, February 9,1981, Page 2 v OBITUARIES SARAH I. McCREA Mrs. Sara I.

They sent their friends each a tea bag, with the suggestion that they have a cup of tea. While you're drinking it, they said, give a little consideration to our retreat. Maybe you'd even like to donate. Being an occasional tea drinker. I'll just take their suggestion fora "tea break". And I may do a little musing as I sip on the warm brew. Thanks, kids. Hope you enjoy your retreat. Another group of kids is working-tne Hastings band members. Thev're holding their annual citrus fruit sale, with the fruit to be delivered later this month. If you didn't get a call from a band member or one of their parents in the Band and Orchestra Boosters, don't be shy-call them. From past experience, we can tell you it should be excellent fruit, and fresh off the truck from sunny Florida. this is just such a year that large numbers of them have not been driven into southern Michigan. Has anyone else seen many this year? Chet Stowell, who keeps up with the news and watches the trends, brought us a clipping which showed the fastest growing, slowest growing and in-between counties in Michigan in the past decade. Barry was in the largest group, those which grew in the 10-years between 1970 and 1980, but gained fess than 20 percent. But Barry was just under the cutoff with 19.9 percent. With a population of 46,755, Barry was 35th among Michigan's 82 counties. The map of the state clearly showed the direction of the population shift. Most of the counties north of a line running from Muskegon to Saginaw Bay were in the high-growth range. Most of the counties south of that line had moderate growth. Six of the nine counties which lost population were in the Upper Peninsula. So the migration from southern Michigan to the northern part of the Lower Peninsula is well-documented. Of course percentages can be misleading. Kalkaska County more than doubled in the decade, to lead the growth race. But it stil had only 10,926 people in 1980. Roscommon grew 65 percent, yet only had 16, 324. By conti ost, Macomb County grew only 11 percent, yet had nearly 70,000 more people at the end of the decade than in 1970. That’s enough to swallow several counties like Kalkaska, Roscommon, Crawford and Oscoda, which show high growth rates. Nevertheless, it s interesting that folks are gravitating toward the less densely-pop­ ulated areas, where presumably they find an attractive environment and way of life. Fortunately, a lot of them have bypass­ ed Barry. We sit in our unique little niche, with many of the advantages of the north­ land, yet convenient to the metropolitan attractions.

NOTICE PRAIRIEVILLE TOWNSHIP RESIDENTS Corn, Soybean See Action Stocks Decline The Jan. 1 Michigan grain stocks report showed that corn levels dipped four per­ cent; soybean stocks drop­ ped 25 percent; wheat hold­ ings were up 39 percent; and oat levels were virtually un­ changed from a year ago, according to the Michigan Agricultural Reporting Ser­ vice (Federal-State). Corn stored in all posi­ tions totaled 178 million bushels, almost 7 million bushels less than a year ago. Similarly 6 million bushels less soybeans were being kept on the farm than last year while stocks stored at mills, elevators, warehouses, terminals and processors stayed the same. Over 18.5 million bushels were being stored in all positions. Wheat stocks totaled 23 mil­ lion bushels with both on and off farm levels up from a year ago. Oats stored declin­ ed 400.000 bushels to just under 13.5 million bushels. Most of tis decline was due to less oats being stored in off farm storage.

The information provided on the application is confidential and will be used only for the purpose of determining eligibility. Applications may be subm^ed at any time during the year. To discourage the possibility of misrepresent­ ation, the application forms contain a statement above the space of signature certifying that all information furnished in the application is true and correct. An additional statement is added to warn that application is being made in connection with the receipt of Federal funds, that school officials may, for cause, verify the information in the application, and that deliberate misrepresentation of information may subject the applicant to prosecution under applicable State and criminal statutes. In certain cases, foster children are also eligible for these benefits. If a family has foster children living with them and wishes to apply for such meals for them, it should contact the school. Children of unemployed parents may qualify for free or reduced price meals if total family income include welfare payments, unemployment compensation and sub-pay benefits fall within the prescribeo family income guidelines In the operation of child feeding programs, no child will be discriminated against because of race, sex, creed, color, or national origin.

Lakewood took an early lead, but Sparta was abh to keep pace following a Viking five point advantage in the first period of play. While Sparta did not play a stalling game, the Spartans did take their time playing for good percentage shots, which ate up a lot of the dock. Lakewood had trouble hitting from outside, and had to work against a stubborn Sparta zone defense in order to get under the basket. Jeff Heide and Jeff Doits had good scoring power, but they were matched by the shooting of Forest Diller and Dave Cook of Sparta. Lakewood was in no real danger of losing, but they were not able to pull away for any great lead, like they have in the past. Sparta gave away a definite height advantage to Lakewood, but their speed helped counter the Lakewood size. Lakewood controlled the backboards, but were not shooting with their usual consistent accuracy. Sparta could not quite <Jatch the Vikings, and despite it being only a three point win, Lakewood did dominate the game. Hoping to extend their win streak to 16, Lakewood will travel to Lowell this Friday. The first 81 ’/» minutes of the Hastings-Coldwater basketball game Friday night could have been eliminated as far as the Saxons were concerned. The final 30 seconds, however, proved to be the whole ball game for Hastings. Both teams show­ ed a score of 56 points with just 30 seconds left, but Hastings scored four quick points to walk away with a 60-56 win. Kevin Raber got possession of the ball when the teams were tied, and drove the full length of the court to score, giving Hastings a 58-56 lead. Cold­ water then took the ball, and called time out with eight seconds to go in the game. Taking the ball inbounds for In 1949, an amendment of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 directly prohibited child labor for the first time, according to “Important Events In American Labor History," a publication of the U.S. Department of Labor.

Coldwater Lyman was fouled, and given a one and one shooting situation. Up to this point, Lyman had hit on six of six from the free throw line. His first shot, however was wide, and Jon Joynson grabbed the rebound. He was fouled on the play and given the same bonus play as Lyman. Joynson made both of his shots good, giving Hastings the win. Hastings hit on 25 of 50 shots from the floor, and got 10 more points from the free throw line. Jim Shuster led the Saxons with 20 points on nine field goals, and two free throws. Lyman was high scorer for Coldwater, getting five field goals and six free throws. Hastings will host Grand Ledge this Tuesday, hoping to keep their season column headed in the right direction.

Mike Gnossom (32) and Forest DOor [25] move hi to 68-45 Loss from Hudsonville Unable to get in dose, and having a poor shooting night from outside, the Middleville Trojans were handed a 68-45 loss by Hudsonville last Fri­ day night. Middleville would have had to play their best game of the year to pull off an upset win, and as it turned out, the Trojans did not play a very good game. Running into a combin­ ation zone defense by Hudsonville, Middleville could not work the ball under the boards for dose in shots. Shooting from outside the key proved to be not much better, as the Trojans could not find their scoring range. Middleville kept the score respectable in the first quarter, trailing only 20-13 at the dose, but their second period output left them out of contention. The Trojans only scored eight points in in the second quarter, going six minutes before getting a score. Hudsonville held a 33-21 halftime lead, and Middleville could not eat away at the lead. Shifting to a zone defense, Middleville tried to slow down the HudsonVille attack, but the sharpshooting Hudsonville players found no trouble in penetrating the Trojan defense. Drew Marks [53] bys oae ■m for Lakewood on Pouring in 21 points in the final quarter, while holding Middleville to just 12. Hudsonville easily chalked up another win handling Middleville their fifth loss of the year. Mike Schipper was the only bright spot in the night for Middleville getting 16 points on six field goals, and four free throws. He was the only Trojan to hit double figures in the game. Middle ville had only seven players do any scoring for the night. High man for Hudsonville was DeBoer, who hit for six field goals and six free throws.

Feb. 11.1981 City Council Holds Lengthy Meeting Monday The Hastings City Council met in regular session on Monday, Feb. 9. with Coun­ cilmembers Cook, Gray, Cu­ sack, Robinson, Campbell and Vaughan present. The council unanimously approved invoices in the amounts of $163,787.00 for the new fire truck, which is expected to arrive in Has­ tings this Wednesday. Feb. 11. Payment was authorized to American LaFrance for the price “as quoted”. Other invoices approved included $7,735 to Honeywell for the maintenance contract at the Waste Water Treatment Plant; $1,820.35 to Wolver­ ine Tractor and Equipment for a muffler and repairs to an engine; and $1,136.29 to Detroit Lime Company. Fire and lighting Chair­ man Tom Robinson invited the Councilmembers and the public to see the new equip­ ment which will be on dis­ play at the fire station. Citi­ zens should not expect to see the new truck on the road immediately, as a represent­ ative from American La­ France will be coming to Hastings for a three-day training program. Other members of the department will, in turn, be trained to operate the new vehicle. Stephen W. Brown, Area Manager of the Department of Housing and Urban De­ velopment in Detroit wrote to the City, regarding the City of Hastings* application for a Community Develop­ ment Block Grant. He indi­ cated that the review of the pre-applications for the Small Cities Program funds has been completed, and although Hastings' pre-application for the Small Cit­ ies Program funds has been completed, and although Hastings' pre-application proposed eligible activities, HUD is unable to approve it or invite a full application because the total amount of fund requests in Michigan exceeded the allocation. The total amount jquested ex­ ceeded 100 million dollars, while only $21.5 million was available on a statewide basis. Ranked by size, Has­ tings was in a category with 25 other cities, and ranked 26th out of the field of 26, with only eight cities receiv­ ing grants. The Michigan Municipal League informed the City that the League’s Annual Legislative Conference will be held Wednesday, March 18, at the Lansing Civic This Flood Plain map was officially accepted by the City of Hastings during a regularly scheduled City Council meeting on Monday, Feb. 9. The map, on display at Hastings City Hall, is available to citizens, developers and all other interested parlies. It I Center in Lansing. All mem­ ber cities and villages are urged to be represented. Governor Milliken and the leadership of both House and Senate have been invit­ ed to address the confer­ ence, and the session prom­ ises to be very important to local government. The Hastings City Band's request for $1,000 funding for the 1981 season was referred to the Budget Com­ mittee. The funding request is the same amount as it has been for the past several years. The Council received and placed on file the letter from the Local Officers Compen­ sation Commission, and by doing so, no action was taken, resulting in the recommended raises becom­ ing effective. Counciimembers voted by voice vote with Councilmembcr Gray casting the lone dissenting vote. Chief of Police William Brandt presented the police report for the month of January, 1981. Twenty-nine adults were arrested for crimes consisting of armed robbery, kidnapping, dis­ orderly, breaking and enter­ ing, felonious assault, simple assault, sex qffense, tres­ passing, driving while sus­ pended. no insurance, shop­ lifting, transporting open in­ toxicants, open intoxicants in a motor vehicle, and operating a snowmobile on a roadway. Two juveniles were arrested for crimes of larceny from a building and being disorderly. Arrests for other departments were made for 56th District Court, a bench warrant for Kalamazoo, and Grand Rapids warrant, one traffic warrant and a warrant for Cheboygan. Fifty moving citations were issued. 102 non-moving and 25 meter tickets were issued. Eight property damage accidents and five personal injury accidents were policed. Councilman Frank Camp­ bell asked who controls the speed on North Boradway where Colfax intersects. The speed is 40 mph one block north of the Broadway/Colfax intersection and 30 mph one block south of the same intersection. Com­ ing down the hill (south) “you can't slow down in so short a distance. I'd like to see it made 35 before drop­ ping from 40 to 30,“ said Campbell. Director of Public Services Mike Klovanich outlines the results cf the study recently completed by the Army Corps of Engineers uud indicates areas that would be involved in a '100 year flood". The “floodway" is illustrated and defines the area where no building is permitted. Fringe or “encroachment” area is shewn where build­ ing is permitted only after a said that the State plans the signs on Broadway, and to change the speed, the city would have justify the change to the State. The report from the Plan­ ning Commission was ~ead by Councilman William Cu­ sack, the Council’s represen­ tative to the Planning body, and was received and placed on file. During the public hearing pertaining to the Flood Plain, the City of Hastings updated their flood plain zoning by accepting the new map, prepared by the Army Corps of Engineers, after several years of study. The district is intended primarily to protect those undeveloped areas of the city which are subject to predictible flooding in the flood plain areas of the Thornapple River.Butler Creek and Fail Creek, so that the reservior capacity will not be reduced or to retard, accelerate or change the direction of the flow or carrying capacity of the river valley, or to otherwise increase the possibility of flooding. No construction is permitted in what is desig­ nated as the “floodway" which is where the flow of flood water is most antici­ pated. Building is permitted in fringe areas, called “encroachment"‘area. but only to the specifications in the ordi­ nance. The first floor (celler floor) level must be at an elevation one foot above the flood elevation, and in order to build in the encroachment area a permit must first be obtained from the DNR (De­ partment of Natural Re­ sources) in addition to the permits required from the city/county. "We’re pretty fortunate in town," com­ mented Mike Klovanich. “Property in the north and south parts of the city roll toward the river. Very few homes are in the flood area." By accepting the new map as provided by the Army Corps of Engineers, those present­ ly in the flood plain are able to purchase federal flood insurance and would be eli­ gible for federal assistance in the event of a flood dis­ aster. Jim WisweH, a member of the Planning Commission and also a property owner in a portion of the flood plain area, attended the meeting and requested the council to “do a little investigating before voting on the issue." He wanted the council to permit is received from the Department of Natural Resources and specifications met with respect to the elevation of the first floor level. Anyone interested in the determinations made by the Army Corps c* Engineers may view the map during regular business hours at the Hastings City Hall. Three Charged on Felony Counts in Welfare Freud Arrested and charged with perjury in applying fur food stamps at the Barry County Department of Social Services were three suspects, who were jailed last Friday following their apprehension by Hastings City Police. Named in warrants issued Monday by the Barry County Prosecutor were Sheila Rae Wilke, alias Pamela Cash Aronin; Rosa Felia Whilefield, iHu Lisa Wilson, and John Earl Foster, alias Larry Young. All three suspects were also named in John Doe warrants issued earlier for similar offenses involving application for food stamps in Calhoun County. The three suspects were apprehended about 3:00 p.m. Friday after two women applying for aid acted suspiciously when being interviewed by a caseworker at the local DSS office. The third person involved, a man, was arrested by Hastings-oolice following a high speed chase ending on M-43 near Quimby Rd. The method employed by the women in applying for aid matched that of two women sought by authorities in Calhoun County who frauduantly applied for food stamps. Or. a tip from officials in the Office of the Inspector General in Lansing. Hastings Police went to the office of the DSS to talk to the women applying for aid. When confronted, one woman attempted to flee, but w$s apprehended. The second woman was also taken into custody following questioning by city police. The warrants charge the suspects with falsley swear­ ing to questioning concern­ ing their place of residence at t he time of their applying for aid. Since authorities were not sure about the real identify of the suspects, they were all named in the Warrants listing all names produced at the time of their apprehension. The perjury charges constitute a felony, and if convicted all three could receive a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison.

Maybe there’s no alterna­ tive, but in all practicality, I think we've wiped all that area on Industrial Park Drive from future develop­ ment,” said WiswilL The second question Wiswell presented was pertain­ ing to the Irving Dam. "What happens to all this if the dam is taken out?" he asked. Mike Klovanich didn’t feel there would be too much effect on the City if it were eliminated. Council­ man Campbell indicated that the dam is presently generating electricity. When it came to vote on the issue, the council split evenly with Cook, Campbel] and Gray voting against immediate adoption, and Cusack, Rob­ inson and Vaughan voting for adoption. In rare in­ stances when the council's vote results in a tie, the mayor breaks the tie, and in thfe instance Mayor Ivan Snyder cast a “yes" vote, resulting in the ordinance being adopted. Councilman Tom Robin­ son resigned his post as the council's representative to the county Local Transpor■xtion Coordinating Council, a body that is presently studying the possibility of county-wide transit system. Robinson said he would be unable to attend the next several meetings when much of the finalization of the study would take place. The Council named Mary Lou Gray as their represen­ tative to the Co-Tran group. The balance sheets for the City of Hastings and the Hastings Public Library were received and placed on file. The first readings of six ordinances were rend by William Cusack, chairman of the Ordinance Committee. The first amended and clarified Hasting^ Code 1970, Sec 12.40 (a) (2) pertaining to disturbance of the peace in the city of Hastings. Ordinance 1970 Sec 3.260(4 i provides for a fee for the adoption of a Zoning change or amend­ ment and implements fees recommended by the Plann­ ing Commission. An increase in the cost of building per­ mits will be authorized by the third ordinance read and provides for a building per­ mit costing $5.00 on values between $500 and $1,000; $5.00 plus $2.00 for each additional $1,000 or fraction thereof for values between $1,001 and $10,000. For values from $10,000 and up. the charge will be $23 plus $1 for each ..dditional $1,000 or fraction thereof, up to a maximum of $200.00. The fifth ordinance will provide for an increase in fees for submitting a preliminary plat. The final ordinance pertained to traffic tickets and provided that the ticket would indicate the length of time a person cited had to respond, the address to which the person should ^pond, the hours the of- s are open, and the cost lor the particular infraction, the ordinance also provides that those failing to comply to the terms of the citation t/ould be subject to the civil infraction process of district court.

Students in two of her classes were invited to write letters to themselves which would be held by Mrs. Hund until the students were seniors. In the letters, the students wrote of theif interests, their ambitions, hobbies, and plans for the future. After reading the letters last week, some of the students were surprised to find out how much they had changed since they first engaged in the writing project. One student, now planning a career in computer science had written five .years ago that he planned on pursuing a career in the optometric field. The student, Mitch Cain not only changed his mind in choosing a career, he also grew eight inches. Five years ago he was 5'4" tall, but today he stands an even six feet. Another senior, Dana Kruko has changed her mind about what she intended to do five years ago. As a seventh grade student, Dana wrote that she intended to be a physical therapist. As a senior this year she plans on entering Central Michigan University to study business administration. Most of the students had forgotten what they had written five years ago, and wished they had expanded their efforts and written more than they did. A few of the seniors still have some of the same interests and hobbies, but most of them have changed their minds about what they want to pursue as their life The letter writing project conducted by Mrs. Hund has become an annual event since 1976. The project not only leaches students the correct way to write letters, but also gives them a chance to enjoy reading about their feelings and ideas they harbored five years earlier.

Road Deaths Lowest in 18 Years Michigan not only regis­ tered its lowest traffic death toll in 18 years in 1980 but its traffic death rate was significantly below the na­ tional average, according to Automobile Club of Michigan. “Last year, Michigan’s death rate was 2J<2 per 100 million vehicle miles travel­ ed, compared to the national death rate of 3.5," state Auto Club Safety and Traffic Engineering Manager Robert Cullen. “This is only the second time since Auto Club began record-keeping in 1933 that the state's death rate has fallen below 3.0.” Cullen said. In 1979, Michigan's death rate was 2.85 per 100 million vehicle miles. While the nation's traffic death toll for the first 10 months of 1980 was the highest since 1978, Mich­ igan's 1,732 deaths last year was 6.3 percent below the 1979 total and was the lowest since 1982, when 1,574 'persons lost their lives. Cullen said a decrease in miles driven and increased unemployment were major factors for the drop in deaths. “Total miles driven im Michigan fell 5.2 percent from 1970, accounting for some of the decrease, and a drop in employment always parallels a decrease in fatal­ ities." he said. Cullen also credited en­ forcement of traffic laws, especially involving law en- forcement, with helping cut deaths. ' "Due to budget cuts, how­ ever, some of those same departments reduced pa­ trols in late 1980,” Cullen cautioned. "We hope those cutbacks will not have an adverse effect on traffic deaths this year.” Local Folks Enjoy Florida Picnic The following people came to Shadow Brook, Palmetto, Fla, with well-fill­ ed baskets and enjoyed a bounteous pot-luck dinner at one o’clock, Feb. 1.

Royal In­ surance and its independent agents offer some tips to make the snow, ice and cold weather a safer and less trying experience. First of all, have you had the fireplace and chimney cleaned to reduce soot buildup from previous fires? This accumulation can hamper drafts while operat­ ing the fireplace and could cause a chimney fire. In fact, if you use your fire­ place frequently, consider chimney sweeping an annual budget item. Also, although a raging fire would appear to in­ crease warmth, more heal is probably going up the flue than into the room. High flames and sparks could set the chimney on fire by igniting accumulated resins, called creosote, coating the lining of the flue. A medium-s*ized fire of hardwood. such as oak. cherry or maple, is preferable to a big pine fire. Also remember to place a tightly-fitted screen against the opening of the fireplace to prevent sparks from flying out and damaging or igniting rugs and furniture in the room The heating system which keeps you and your family A’arm during the winter months can pose a danger as well. The danger is carbon monoxide poisoning which can result from improperly maintained central healing units, and space and water heaters An odorless, colorleu and shor'ness of breath, slight possible mileage.

This pornography, 3-ring wonder gets underway in your local courtroom Feb. 9th but if you enjoy elephants and the man on the flying trapeze the chances are you'll be disappointed. Il will never get beyond the clowns. In all fairness the drive-in movie porno trial should be moved to the athletic field where there would be room for every taxpayer. They should all have the opportunity to see how their money-and lots of it-is being wasted. However, the real smoking guns- "Sex World” and “Teenage Cheerleaders” -must elude all but the eyes of the brave jury who will view them in private. Much care must be taken in select­ ing a jury because, accord­ ing to the theory of the Frightened Few, there is always the possibility that one of them, upon viewing such suggestiveness might well become crazed and attack the prosecuting attorney. Thus, I feel it n.y civic duty to provide a review of both films (I've seem them both. Twice!) for those that missed them in their smash week here in town. For those who do not care to see X-rated movies or letters to the editor: please skip the next paragraph. There are all kinds of explicit sex acts shown in detail and close-up (They must use terribly small camera men)! There is regular sex, king-size sex, menthol sex, oral sex, group sex, manual sex, (that's masturbation to those who really enjoy dirty talk), missionary positions, political positions, and one or two nearly impossible positions. And that was just the first ten minutes. But alas, the direction suffers, the story breaks down, the participants change partners, and the first ten minutes is repeated every ten minutes for the next three hours. If a crime has been committed, it is the same one, according to doctors Kinsey, Masters, Johnson, and others, that is being committed every night in 95% of the bedrooms in town. One might ask the question why it is consider­ ed unlawful to photograph something that seems to be soy popular. Inspector Pope of the Michigan State Police in his flag waving, Bible-beating, naked truth speech to the Frightened Few in the community building back in November admitted that there is very little danger to society from pornography. To quote Inspector Pope: "Now I can handle it (pornography), and all of you people here can hand it. But there is this little small group of people (he held up two fingers a half inch apart)' that can’t, and they start to fantasize which may lead to the committing of a crime." Well now, isn't that true of just about everything in life? Driving a car, shooting a gun. eating, drinking, gambling, going to school, going to church, living, dying, whatever. 99% of us can handle it while there is always that little small group that can't. Do we therefore do away with everyone’s freedoms and surrender to "That little small group that can't handle it?" This is why freedom of expression, thought, and speech became the cornerstone of our society as reflected by its position in The Bill of Rights. And the higher courts of this society will not allow anyone, including Inspector Pope and the Frightened Few, to tamper with it. Of much greater concern to this community should be a county prosecutor's office that is aware of the laws of the land and ’he rights of its people; ano not just a holding zone awaiting an open law office partnership. Proponents of closing down local pornography have been misled in regard to the testing of alleged obscene material and the chances of gaining a convict­ ion. The test of applying community standards is only one of four rules or tests set down by the United States Supreme Court to determine what and what not is obscene. Questionable material need meet the requirement of only one of the tests out of the four to gain approval. However, had the prosecutor done her homework, she would know how futile her task is. for quite simply the bottom line is this: The Hastings Drive-In Theater has been featuring contemporary pornography for a dozen or more years without a public out-cry. As last as last summer the Hastings Drive-In Theatre continued to outdraw the downtown Strand Theater, featuring family films, by a margin of 5 to 1. Thus, there is overwhelming evidence that community standards have been established for quite some time here. Family movies get the lip service, but it is pornography that gets local attendance. And on this point along, any conviction garnered locally will be overturned in a matter ot hours by the Michigan Supreme Court, and any prosecutor worth their salt knows it. Three years ago a conspiracy was set up to discredit and defame a local movie exhibitor .vho had the audacity to try something different. The local “system" all but destroyed his business because he did not have the financial means to defend himself against loaded dice. He came off the loser because one hour of investigative reported by the fourth estate was not forthcoming. The match is a litt'.e more even this time • both dollarwise and honorwise. But this time the loser will be the taxpayer. This mockery of a pornography trial will produce only thousands of dollars of cost, a martyr or two, and an official welcome to additional pornography activity right on State Street. Sincerely. Gordon M. Bennett Strand Theater Lakewood To Present “Li’I Abner” Sophomore Janine Boger and senior Tim Hewitt will portray the starring roles in Lakewood High Schools* musical "Lil Abner".

City Clerk, do hereby certify that the adopted by the Hastings City Council on the 9th day of February. 1981. Donna J. Kinney. City Clerk Michigan Unemployment Up in Jan Michigan's jobless rate jumped to 13.7 percent jn January, up from 12,«5 percert in December, according to estimates released today by S. Martin Taylor, director of the Michigan Employment Security Commission. Taylor said that the number of unemployed workers across the state rose by 61.000 to 585,000 last month from 524,000 in December. The current estimates are also well above those of a year ago when 439,000 were out of work, giving the state a 10.9 percent jobless rate in January 1980. "This is the highest January jobless rate for the state since 1975 when the rate wls also 13.7 percent,” Taylor said. “Although some increase in unemployment is norma) in January, the current increase is fairly substantial, especially when y°u consider that we have had double digit Unemploy- ment since January of last year.” Taylor attributed the increase in unemployment to layoffs in the auto industry along with seasonal job losses in construction and retail trade as many who held temporary holiday jobs became unemployed in January. Nationally, the unemploy­ ment rate remained unchanged at 7.4 percent in January with 7,847,(XX) out of work. The first incorporated rail­ road to perform transpor­ tation service in the United States was the horsedrawn Granite Railway in Quincy, Mass, in 1826.

Seventh Graders Lose To Battle Creek Scoring only two baskets, in the second half, the Hastings seventh grade basketball team lost a 29-15 game to Battle Creek Highland Monday night. ■ The game was . played during the Pennfield Junior High Invitational Tournament held last Monday. The young Saxons held an 11-9 lead at halftime, but could not find the basket during the rest of the game. Hastings could only show six players scoring any points, which is just about half their normal output. Jon Christensen, Mike DelCotto. and Matt Timm played a good game of defense, but the lack of scoring spelled the difference in the game. Scoring for the Saxons were Matt Timm, who collected five to lead Hastings. Nick Willison, Mike D**ICotto, Jon Christensen, Mark Benner and Andy Colgan each scored two points in the loss. ppi Ask The Governor Eigbth Grade Basketbailers Question: I suspect some one is poaching game oa my land.

If you can see the violators, remember their clothing, facial features and equipment. Writing the facts down on paper can help in a better recollection of the incident. Often, when excited, observed can forget to look for or record the necessary information. Above all, remember that you are not a law enforcement officer, so do not attempt to take direct action. You may be held responsible for your actions if you unlawfully detain a poacher. Coordinator of the DNR's anti-poaching campaign, Randsom Hill, agrees that "t he best course of action for the concerned citizen interested in assisting the conservation officer is to gather the information and then call for assistance.” Reporting fish and game violations is nothing of which to be ashamed. As Mr. Hill says, “Reporting the activities of those who continue to insist on doing things their way-in direct violation of the law-is simply being a good citizen."

Medicare hospital insurance benefits are almost always paid directly lo the hospital. When the hospital insurance benefits are paid, you will receive a notice showing the total amount of the bill, the amount paid, and the remaining amount for which you are responsible. Q. I have always been very careful about telling social security when I earn any money so they can adjust my SSI checks. Now I am doing some part-time work for a grocer whenever he needs help. He pays me by giving me food. Do I have to report that to social security? A. Under SSI, food you receive is considered income and can affect your SSI checks. Any cash, food, or other payment you receive should be reported to social security. cuts?

FORECASTS Trenchcbrt Challenges Warmth of Down Cort A traditional trenchcoat is challenging the warmth of a down coat with the help of an unusual new insulated zip-out lining. The classic, belted and epaulet style, which takes most businessmen to work and home again, features new Thinsulate insulation. This microfiber insulation has beenscientifically proven to provide nearly twice the warmth of down when equal thicknesses are compared. To complement this in­ sulated warmth factor, Lon­ don Fog has designed sev­ eral other all-weather fash­ ion features into Trent. Those accents include buckled sleeve straps to keep the wind away, hook and eye closure at (he neck, double-breasted styling, and fancy welt pockets to stow gloves. This look, offered in the 44-inch Fashion length, is available in khaki. Now today's man on the go has an all-weather coat, with an insulated lining that zips in or out, so he ran face any season. � https://barrycountyhistoryportal.org/files/original/19/508/HastingsBanner_1981-02-16.pdf e2b329a00ee4a181a441c2dfba3bc134 PDF Text Text February 16,1981 Deputies Kept Busy Banner Following Snow Storm Hastings Barry County Sheriff Deputies were kept busy last week as a result of the worst storm of the winter when they investigated eight minor accidents, and arrested one man for driving under the influence of liquor.

Hastings Family at Las Vegas Shoe Fair As the shock of the fire at Las Vegas' MGM Grand some three months ago was just beginning to wear off, another fire ripped up the side of the 30 floor Las Vegas Hilton Hotel Tuesday night, Feb. 10, leaving eight people dead and hundreds injured. Many of the hotel guests were in Las Vegas to attend the National Shoe Fair. Robert and Bonnie Birke and their daughter Roberta of Birke's Shoe Store in Hastings were among the many attending the National Shoe Fair. The Birkes, however, stayed at the Sands Hotel and returned home Tuesday morning, just prior to the Tuesday night blaze. A 23-year-oid busboy has been booked on eight counts of murder and one count of arson in connection with the blaze. Levi Holmes Recalled as Hardy Woodland Pioneer In tne summer of 1842 Levi Holmes walked from Detroit to Woodland to look at some land he had bought on section 29 in the town­ ship. After he had looked at it he walked east again as far as Jackson. Section 29 was ■ I an unbroken wilderness. When Woodland was set off from Hastings township in February, 1842 it was given a name appropriate to a town densely covered with heavy timber. In April of the same year the first meeting had been held at the home of Alonzo Barnum. There were few residents; only 21 votes were cast. Levi Holmes had bought the 160 acres of wild land in Michigan from his employer, Philo Reed, a fanner in Dutchess County, New York. At an etrly age Levi was hired out to Reed by his father as a common farm­ laborer, and remained in that position until he was about 21 years old. Then he began his adult life by continuing in the same employment. Three years later he married Miss Lois Toug of New Milford, Conn. Eventually they reared eight children, all of whom were still living in 1880. Levi, the seventh of eight children, was bom in 1811. Isaac, his father, was a harness maker and native to New York who had married a Miss Losee. The great adventure for the Levi Holmes family began in 1843, the year following his long walk, when he brought his family to his Michigan wilderness. They settled temporarily in a shanty on Jesse Town­ send's farm in section 80, where Mr. Townsend had begun to pioneer in July, 1838. In that shanty. Holmes humorously recalled later, it didn't rain very much more than it did out of doors, "except in places." But Holmes was discouraged soon after he settled. The rain poured into his shanty and made life in it a misery. Work was hard, provisions were scarce, and to cap it off he wounded himself so severely while putting up his iog house that he was forced to take to his bed. "Had I had money enough," he said later, “I would have gone back to New York and stayed there, but money wasn't to be had, and I could do nothing but stay and make the best of it." He moved his family into his log house before it had either door or window and Mrs. Holmes feared that wolves would be sure to get at them through the blanketed openings. When he went to mill he carried an axe just as sure as he carried the batch of grain for grinding, for everybody on a journey in those days had to cut his own road. Some family stories survive to this day. Two of the Holmes children went out one afternoon to look up supervisor of the township the family cows and did not in 1844, the year after he return by nightfall. There settled in Woodland.

Concert School office Jan. 30, regard­ ing the financial problems facing the Eaton Intermediate School District special education programs. At the meeting Eaton Intermediate superintend­ ent Steve Hayden stated that it will be necessary to consider the following reductions in programs and reimbursement to local districts considering the loss in state aid dollars this year estimated at approximately *300,000 for Eaton Intermediate School District. 1. Put a freeze on the Eaton Intermediate School District reimbursement to local districts for the purchase of special education vehicles. 2. Revise the transportation reimburse­ ment formula so that the Intermediate School District pays 25% of approved operating expenses and not supplement the local district for the amount the state doesn’t pay the local district. 3. That a minimum of 15-18 positions be cut in special education programs. This could easily be greater considering that state aid for the intermediate district was less than first anticipated. 4 Eliminate summer special education programs whenever possible and not mandated by the state. 5. Seek deviations not new programs „„„ considering finan’ciid outlook, 6. Possibility of significant cuts in programming perhaps 20% across that board. These general reductions at the intermediate level will most likely carry over to reductions in the special education programs at the local level during the 1981-82 school year. Board President Robert Dormer was absen. from the meeting. Kathy Neil of Hastings, and Marilyn Dykstra of Middleville will be perform­ ing in the Ferris State College Concert Choir’s Winter Choral Concert to be held Feb. 15 at 4 p.m. in Starr Auditorium in conjunction with the 1981 FSC Festival of the Arts. The concert will feature "Dona Nobia Pacem" by Vaughn Williams, with guest soloists Kathleen Westdorp, soprano, and Douglas Reahm, baritone, and the FSC Concert Choir, In addition, the program will feature "Mass in G Minor" also by Williams, performed by the two choruses of the Ferris Concert Choir and solo quartet and the Creston (Grand Rapids) High School Choir. According to William Donahue, director, the "Mass in G Minor” will be sung a cappella; and one of the interesting aspects of the piece will be the antiphonal effects between the two choirs. The Festival of the Arts is a month-long cultural celebration combining the talents of Ferris students and faculty, area residents and guest artists in a broad spectrum of events in music, theatre, painting, theatre, painting, architect­ ure and other arts. A significant part of the Festival is the visiting artists program which brings noted professionals from different disciplines to interact and work with Festival participants. All Festival events are free and open to the public. For further information, contact the Festival office (616) 796-9971, ext. 368.

Feb. 18 Registration Date For Irrigation Seminar Growers planning to attend the Michiana Irrigation Seminar Feb. 20 at Glen Oaks Community College in Centreville, are urged to register by Feb. 18. Fred Henningsen, director of the Michigan State University Cooperative Extension Service in St. Joseph County, says that an advance count is needed to assure proper meal and seminar activity planning. To register, phone Henning­ sen at (616) 467-6361. The daylong session begins at 9 a.m. The program is cosponsored by the MSU Extension Service and the Michiana Irrigation Association (MIA). “The seminar is open to anyone who is interested in irrigation operations, but the urogram is, particularly important to farmers who have irrigation systems or uuu*iuk auvui who are thinking about system, says Ernest Kidder, MIA president. Kidder is a retired MSU agricultural engineer. The morning session includes presentations on the irrigation outlook, crop and water management, and safeguards for the irrigation electrical system. The afternoon program looks at innovations in irrigation equipment, well site construction and management, recordkeeping leasing, and guidelines for fertilizing and applying pesticides through an irrigation system. “Each of these topics has important implications for management in the 1980s.” Kidder says. “In view of rising farm operation costs and regulations that could develop as irrigation becomes more popular in Michigan, it is important that farmers use their resources wisely to assure the continuation of good crop production." MIA was formally organized Jan. 1 and is open to anyone who is interested in irrigation practices in Michigan and Indiana. MLA's purpose is to help improve farm crop irrigation practices through regular membership updates and special management seminars.

MICHIGAN MIRROR Study Shows Michigan Near Average in State Taxation By WARREN M. HOYT Michigan Ranks 23rd In Tax Reveunes Raised Results of a study released by the Department of Management and Budget show that recent national statistics rate Michigan 3rd in terms of revenue imposed by state and local governments. Robert Kleine, director fo the Office of Revenue and Tax Analysis, said the state standing was determined by computing all forms of revenue except federal aid. The report entitled "A Comparison of Selected State Tax Rates," which is based on data collected by the U.S. Census Bureau and other sources, notes that many other states included in the study supplement low tax rates with high fees and other changes. Such item* as tuition, park fees, hunting licenses, testing fees, sewer charge* and school lunch sales are included along with taxes in measuring total state and local government revenue. "These tables indicate Michigan's tax burden, as a whole, b about average, but it also shows that the local property tax and state income tax in Michigan are somewhat above average while the sale* tpx b below average-all measured as a percent of total personal income," Kleine said. He noted the tables illustrated one of the major reasons that the governor's proposal for property tax relief includes a sales tax increase as a means of offsetting revenue loss. Kleine noted that the report also shows that the total revenue for state and local government is 1631 percent of total personal income in Michigan. The personal income total includes all income in the state including "transfer payments" such as Social Security, unemployment and assistance payments. The national average is 15.69 percent. Michigan state government revenues alone declined as a percentage of personal income in recent years, dropping from 82 percent In 1979 to an estimated 7.5 percent in 1981 and 1982, Kleine said. Other portions of the report indicated that Michigan state income tax ranks 14th in the nation (among 44 states that levy an income taxi; the state sates tax ranks 29th (among 46 states levying a sales taxi; the property tax in Michigan ranks 18th; and the cigarette tax, 11 cents a pack, is lower than in 32 other states. Lockouts Disqualify Employees From Unemployment Benefits A company lockout b a labor dispute for which employees are disqualified from receiving unemployment benefits, the State Supreme Court has ruled. The decision reverses the Court of Appeals and reinstates findings of the Employment Security Commission. The court said it rejected the contention that a lockout b not a disqualifying labor dispute because it would make redundant other clauses of the unemployment law relating to disqualification resulting from a labor dispute. ,The high court also noted the Legislature declared that benefits shall not be paid when unemployment is due to a labor dispute which b in progress. And even though the law is meant to provide relief from the hardship of involuntary unemployment, the court said the disqualification provision makes an exception to that general purpose. The justices declared employers must bear the burden of proving the claimants disqualification since payment of benefits is precluded only if the labor dispute is shown to be a substantial contributing cause of unemployment, even if other causes, such as economic reasons, contributed to the lock­ out. 400 letters requesting them to take legal action against the Drive-in owners. How­ ever, there were no letters in support of the Drive-in. In light of these facts, it seems like we are not talk­ ing about a “Frightened Few.” In reality, the “Frightened Few” are the ones who make it a business to peddle filthy trash called pornography. For they and their supports now know that the majority of this city’s citizens will fight vig­ orously against this societal evil. Secondly, Mr. Bennett draws a crude comparison of Pornography and Marital sex. Possibly, in his frame of mind, he can see a oneness between the two. But, most mature and responsible people would not. Pornography, by defini­ tion is written or graphic material intended to excite lewd and lustful feelings. The word pornography comes from the Greek work “pornographos". which means writing about prosti­ tutes. Sexual activity in porno­ graphic films is performed by “actors" who are paid for their services, in fact, al­ most all of these “actors" (I don’t want to confer upon them titles due profession­ als) participate solely for monetary gain, not emotion­ al fulfillment. Therefore, pornographic “actors" are nothing more than "silver screen prostitutes". On the other hand, marital sex is completely opposite. The activity enjoyed by both partners is usually a benefit from their love and respect for each other. Their actions are not bought or forced. They share a physical as well as mental relationship that is guided by mutual understanding and partici­ pation. Marital sex in its true sense is pure and innocent, which is quite con­ trary to pornography. Pornography should be banned for a number of justifiable reasons: (1) It is immoral and sinful. (2) It degrades the dignity and worth of womanhood. Women are not to be thought of as mere physical sex objects or toys, for males to manipulate and abuse for their pleasure and enjoyment. For this is truly what pornography glorifies. (3) It creates anxieties and wanton feelings that can be channeled into negative so­ cietal behavior.

First of all, Mr. Bennett seems to underestimate the numbers of the so-called “Frightened Few." The Meeting held back in No­ vember had a scarce turnout for a number of possible rea­ sons: (1) It was not widely publicized enough. (2) A local service organ­ ization sponsored a pancake supper that night which conflicted with the time of the meeting. (This does not necessarily mean that these people were not concerned.) (3) The Drive-in Theater burned down that afternoon and many people might have mistakenly thought there was no longer a need to attend the meeting. (4) The weather was poor enough to discourage some folks from coming, especially the elderly. Furthermore, to assume that the public is not con­ cerned because of a meek turn-out to the meeting, is a completely false analogy.

Feb. 16,1981, Middleville Loses Lead, Game to Hamilton What looked like a dream come true turned into a nightmare Friday night for Middleville, when the Trojans took a 74-59 beating • from Hamilton in an away game. The Trojans jumped to an early 8-2 lead and it looked like they were on their way to a good game, when they just as quickly lost their shooting eye, and the ball game. Middleville not only gave away their early lead, they gave up 18 points, while scoring 10 in the first quarter, and committed a total of 21 turnovers to Hamilton. The Trojans also got into foul trouble early in the game. Jeff Janose picked up two personals in the opening minutes of the first quarter, and aaw limited action the rest of the night. With Janose on the bench, Middleville lost a lot of scoring, and board control. Hamilton employed a full court press against the Trojans, and Middleville was unable to work the ball under the basket, and the Trojans could not find the scoring range from outside. Middleville outscored Kevin Raber stretches to get a rebound. At the left to Hastings* Dan Abeam [24]. 75-63 Loss Friday man, but neither defense was effective against sharpshooting Lakeview. Lakeview collected 33 field goals to 28 for Maple Valley, and outscored them nine to seven at the free throw fine. Pat Kersjes led Maple Valley with nine field goals, and one free throw, followed by John Kent with 15 points, but their efforts were not quite good enough to over­ take Lakeview. Maple Valley will have its work cut out this Tuesday when the Lions will t entertain undefeated Lakewood, winner of 16 straight games this season.

Q. My husband died on Jan. 22 after spending the last 2Vi months of his life in Maple Valley Takes Giving away six quick points on three bad passes in the third quarter. Maple Valley was buried one rung deeper in the standings in the Tri-Central league Friday with a 75-63 loss to Lakeview. The Lions had a good chance to hand Lakeview its second loss of the year, but erratic ball handling, and mental errors resulted in another loss for Maple Valley. Maple Valley held a 13-12 lead at the end of the first quarter, but a 25 point scoring spree by Lakeview in the second period wiped out their lead, and put Lakeview in the driver's seat. Maple Valley made a good effort in the third quarter, and trailed by just three points with two minutes left in the period, but three consecutive bad passes gave Lakeview the ball, and they scored on all three turnovers. Despite the final 12 point difference, the game was quite close, and had it not been for the mistakes by Maple Valley, it could have been a different ball game. Maple Valley managed to hold Lakeview's leading scorer for the season to just 10 points, but teammate Dave Harris picked up the alack, scoring 14 of his 20 points in the second half. Their top scorer had been Brook Lewis, averaging 20 points a game until Friday. Maple Valley had plenty of opportunities to score, but they could not find their shooting range, and had trouble with passing and ball handling. Maple Valley used a zone defense early in the game, then switched to man to Hamilton 21-19 in the third quarter, but a 21-12 scoring advantage by Hamilton in the fourth period insured a Hamilton win. Hamilton held a 54-47 edge at the end of the third quarter, and Middleville still had a chance, but the Trojans could not score with enough consistency to overcome their deficit. ’Monte Munjoy had a hot night*, for Middleville, getting 18 points on seven field goals and four free throws. Mike Schipper collected five baskets and six frae throws, but with little other help coming, it was Hamilton’s game. Led by Mike Kroll's 12 field goals and one free throw, Hamilton saw four starters score double figures in the game. Middleville held a 17-6 advantage from the free discuss the place for a trust in your plan. Estate planning concerns everyone, since everyone has an estate, regardless of size.

Send resume to Post Office Box 36 Hastings Ml <9058 It was busi.iess aS usual Friday night for Lakewood's unbeaten basketball team, when the Vikings took one more step toward their league championship with an 84-64 win over Greenville. Showing the forced cancellation of their game Tuesday did not effect their shooting, the Vikings scored from every area of the court in their easy win Friday. Jeff Heide had a field day in the rout, scoring 38 points on 16 field goals and six free throws. I>akewood got off to a rather slow start but then gathered momentum and had no trouble in recording its 16th straight win of the year. Greenville played on even terms for the first quarter, and trailed by 18-17 at the end of the period, but from then on, it was Lakewood’s game all the way. Displaying some of their finest passing ability of the year, the Vikings easily found men open under the baskets, and had very little trouble in scoring from close range. The few times Lakewood was denied layups, Heide and Jeff Duits connected from outside the key with accurate shooting. Greenville showed spurts of scoring power, but when they lost control of the boards. Lakewood continued to add to their lead, and steadily pulled out of reach of Greenville. Greenville was unable to get three starters to score in double figures, while Lake­ wood showed only two starters to hit double digits, But Heide’s 38 points provided plenty of points for hte rest of the team. Dennis Cook had an exceptionally good night for Greenville, scoring 33 points on 13 field goals and seven free throwj, but he got scoring help from only five of his teammates for the night. Heide not only turned in his second best scoring effort of the year, he also did an outstanding job of rebounding, passing, and ball stealing in the walk away win. Coach Roily Krauss rested Heide near the end of the final period, and Greenville began to improve in their ability to grab rebounds, but they could not score with any consistency following their control of the ball. With the return of Heide to the game. Greenville was shut off under the boards, and all Lakewood had to do was let the clock run down. Lakewood will look toward winning their 17th straight game this Tuesday when they travel to Maple Valley, to take on the troubled Lions, who lost last Friday to Lakeview.

Coach Wayne Brown played thirteen men, and he was well pleased with the results. Jim Shuster continued his scoring ways, gaining 16 points on six field goals and four free throws. Steve Delcotto added 11 more in the second half alone, on four goals and three free throws. The scoring was well-dist­ ributed, with forwards Kevin Raber and Jon Joynson scoring nine each, and guards John Karpinski and Dan Ahearn scoring eight and seven, respective­ *4^2 With the score 6-6 early in the first period, the Saxons and from then on were never threatened. They had an 18-12 lead at the end of a quarter and a commanding 40 to 24 edge at halftime. The game turned into a runaway in the third quarter, when Hastings made three buckets in a row, then five straight at the end of the period to pull away to a 64-36 lead. Shuster did all'his scoring in the first half, as Brown started substituting freely after halftime. The bench acquited itself well, though, as the second half was even more of a rout than the first. The Saxons shot a respectable 51 percent from the floor, making 85 out of 68 field goal attempts. Shuster and Delcotto did much better, with Shuster making six for eight, and Delcotto four out of five. Free throws continue to be a problem, with the Saxons sinking 16 out of 26 attempts. Brown expressed general satisfaction with his team’s performance, though he The Hastings junior recognizes that shooting varsity beat Harper Creek could stand a bit of Friday night in a game that improvement.

With four free throw attempts before them, Hastings’ Tom Brown and Steve Conner each made one giving the Saxons a 61-58 score. But there was no opposing team to play against for the remaining two seconds, and the game is officially a forfeit. The four regulation periods were exciting, with neither Hastings or Harper Creek ever having a great advantage. Hastings led 7-4 after the first quarter. The second period was a standoff, with Hastings still ahead 22-18 at halftime. The Beavers picked it up a little in the third period, drawing even at 33-33, but Hastings slipped in an extra goal and ended the quarter with a 37-35 lead. Harper Creek tied it up again early in the fourth quarter, then Hastings spurted to a 45-39 lead. But Harper Creek managed to tie at the end of the regular bail game.

Your comments on the aims stated by the President of the United States in his inaugural message suit me just fine. Mr. Reagan stud something else. “It is time to check and reverse the growth of Government which shows signs of having grown beyond the consent of the governed”. We have too many taxes, supporting too many on the public payroll, writing too many rules, devising too many “programs”, demanding too much regulation - all with too little regard for those who pay the bills. Let’s put it in reverse. Sincerely, George W. Etter To the editor: For those who wish to know Howard Wolpe’s last voting record in the 96th Congress here are 9 recent bills and how he cast his ballot: 1. H.R. 7583, Private School vs. IRS. Wolpe voted no to this amendment, which prohibited the _________________ Internal Revenue_____ Service from formulating any new policy or regulation that would cause private schools to lose their tax-exempt status. Three hundred Representatives voted yes, 107 voted with Howard Wolpe. By this vote, Wolpe shows that he is against the growth of Christian ..... parochial schools. ~ ------2. H.R. --------7583, Voting Guides vs. IRS. Wolpe voted no to removing the oppressive hand of the IRS from disqualifying organizations from being tax exempt if they publish and distribute voter guides ,. during a campaign.

Women’s Commission Active in Legislative Field By MARY LOU GRAY The Michigan Women's Commission, a state funded agency which addresses issues affecting women, has been active in an effort to provide legislation of interest to women in the State of Michigan. The commission was established in 1968 and comes under the Depart­ ment of Management and Budget. Women from all fields serve on the board, each being appointed by Governor Milliken, four of whom must come from the fields of education, labor, civil service and social service. Priorities of the commission include equality under the law for women witl the major focus being on women in the economy. The commission's goal is to increase the power and influence of women of all ages in the public and private sector with regard to their economic condition by completing and disseminating information about the economic status of women in Michigan; recommending methods of ensuring the full dimensions of equal employment opportunity to women; developing structures and strategies to inform the public of laws, policies, etc,, that impact and/or determine the economic conditions of women, and to promote effective enforcement and monitoring compliance with all legal guarantees. As the 80th Legislative Session rolled to a close at the end of December, several of the bills being worked on by the women's community made it through the final hours and were signed by Governor Milliken. Ho ie Bill 4335 (PA 428 of 1980) sponsored by Reps. M. Hood, Ryan, and others, establishes a set-aside program for women and minority owned businesses under state procurement. It is expected that within 5 years, women owned businesses should be award­ ed 4% of state procurement and minority owned businesses should be award­ ed 7%. A women or minority owned business is defined as one which is owned by more than 50% women or minorities who are involved in the dairy operation of the business. House Bill 4616 (PA 468 of 1980) sponsored by Rep. Juanita Walkins, provides a single business tax credit for employers who provide child care to their employees. This act has a sunset clause. House Bill 5218 (PA 434 of 1980) sponsored by Rep. Mary Brown, establishes guidelines for the awarding of joint custody to divorcing parents. House Bill 5435 (PA 471 of 1980) sponsored by Rep. Stabenow, provides for extending warrantless arrest authority in securing an injuction against those who are co-habitating and who are currently married. House Bill 5723 (PA 454 of 1980) sponsored by Rep. R. Hood, (a similar bill was introduced by Sen. D. Ross) prohibits the use of poly­ graph examinations for victims of criminal sexual conduct. The bill language also indicates that if the accused takes a polygraph and passes it, the victim shall be informed that the accused may not be guilty of the crime. The subject of state monies being used to pay for abortion has come under heated debate in recent months. Senate Bill 124, sponsored by Sen. Scott, originally began as a home heating assistance bill, and was later changed to amend the Social Welfare Act, and prohibit the use of Medicaid funds for abortion. The bill passed both Houses and was vetoed by the Governor on Dec. 5, 1980. The Senate successful­ ly overrode the Governor's veto, but the House didn't have sufficient votes to over­ ride. The Governor's veto was therefore sustained. . Senate Bill 157, sponsored by Senators Fredricks and Welborn, ___ would have prohibited the use of Medicaid funds for abortions. After extensive public hearings, the Committee on Health and Social Services voted to keep the bill in committee. HJR-N, introduced by Reps. Stopczynski, Mueller, and others would have prohibited the funding of abortions by constitutional amendment to the State Constitution. The bill was not reported out of the House Appropriations. HJR-X, sponsored by Reps. T. Stopczynski, Ryan, et al, and SJR-M, sponsored by Senators Welborn, Holmes, Arthurhultz, and others, would have petitioned congress to -all for a constitutional convention for the purpose of adding a human life amendment to the federal resolution was reported out of its respective committes On the congressional level, action has been taken that is of interest to women. Congress approved and President Carter signed into law the Foreign Service Act which contains provisions for former Foreign Service Officers' spouses to receive a .pro-rated share of retirement and survivors annuities. Under this law, divorced spouses who were married for over 10 years can now share in the benefils of the Foreign Service officer. This is an important bill as it gives recognition to the contribution of home­ makers in the career of the working spouse. Rep. Pat Schroeder sponsored the spousal provision in the Act. Public Law 96-516, the National Science Foundation authorization bilt passed and was signed. The bill includes major provisions of the Senate's proposal promoting the Advancement of women in scientific, technical and professional careers. It also includes provisions for about 160 new research grants for women and provides $30 million to encourage women and minorities to enter scientific and technical careers. The Domestic Violence Prevention Act was defeat­ ed. The conference committee has been approved by the House but when Senator Cranston tried to bring it up for a vote in the Senate, he was assured of a filibuster and therefore withdrew it, CHAP, the Child Health Assurance Frogram, which would have provided basic Host Chicago Youth of meetings and was President for the 79-80 year. He was a member of the International Relations Committee of Battle Creek and is a member of the Military of Governmental Affair.s Committee. He served as Chairman of the Public Service Committee for the world hot air balloon championships in 1980 and 1981, and is chairman of the 1980 Battle Creek Area Chamber of Commerce Annual Jamboree.

By VICTOR SISSON A Youth Retreat will be held at Grace Wesleyan Church this weekend, Feb. 20-22 when the youth of the chtirch will be host to a group of about 30 young people from Chicago. For the third year in a row the local group will have a youth group from the Grace Covenant Church as their guests for a weekend of learning, worship and recreation. The pastor of the visiting church is Rev. H. Robert Simmons, brother of Mrs. Rev. Davis and the church is located in the Inner City in the down town section of the city. Some of these young people have never been outside the city and this trip is not only a •ime of enjoyment but will also be educational. The group of young people will be accompanied by two youth sponsors as well as Pastor Simmons and family. They are expected to arrive at Grace Wesleyan Church around 10 p.m. In the meant ime t he local youth number­ ing about 25, with their sponsors, Ron and Vai Birman and Jerry and Terri Weeks will be spending the evening in recreation and fellowship in the new all purpose building, putting on the Finishing touches and preparing refreshments for I he guests when they arrive. They will have plenty of sleeping bags and the entire group will eat and sleep in I he building. A part of the program for Saturday included a trip to Echo Valley tobogganing, ice skating, and other winter sports, if the weather man cooperated, but the forepart of this week did not look very encouraging for this kind of an outing. The youth of Grace Church spent a weekend last fall in Chicago as guests of the Grace Covenant Young people. They had a wonder­ ful time, and are looking forward to this week-end together. Most of these youngsters have no yards at home in which to play any kind of games, and they do all their playing <in the streets, so even the church yard and parking lot will be a real treat to them, if the weather permits any outdoor recreation. If not, there will be plenty of opportunity for basketball, volleyball, ping-pong and shuffle board in the new facility. When our group went to Grace Covenant last fall, the Lepards were holding a meeting in another church nearby and the two groups attended the meeting. The Lepards will be here at Grace Wesleyan for the weekend and will present a public concert at 7:00 p.m. They will also play and sing at the Sunday School at 10:00 a.m. and the morning and evening services at 11:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. A very special feaiure of lhe weekend will be an all church potluck dinner at 1:15 p.m. in the new build­ ing, followed by an aftern<K»n of fellowship and get­ ting acquainted. The visitors will return to their homes in Chicago following the evening service. Rev.

Coach McWilliams said, “The key to the win for Pennfield was their excellent outside shooting. We contained them close in. but could not stop them outside. Our inability to score in the second half cost us the ball game.

Tuesday in a non-league game against Pennfield. Delton lost the game 56-41 on their home court. Committing 20 turnovers. and hitting on only 18 of 67 field goal attempts, the Panthers lost the game in the third quarter when they gave up 24 points, while collecting a total of only nine. Held scoreless was Dave Green, who has usually been one of the spark plugs in the finely tuned Delton machine. Mike Quinn was also shut off at the scoring column, and Ken Francisco managed to get only one basket the entire game. Delton held a 10-7 first quarter lead, and managed to stay on top 22-21 at halftime, but a blazing second half by Pennfield wiped out the Delton lead, and Delton could only be thankful the game will not effect their league standings. Delton has suffered only one league loss, and can wrap up their second straight league championship with a win this Friday over Bangor in a Taking three first place positions, one third, and a fourth, Delton ended up with an outstanding showing Saturday in district wrestling competition, and will send four members to regional play in Grand Rapids, next Saturday.

Nothing went in favor of the Lions, including the scorekeeper, who registered two baskets for Lakewood that were made by Maple Valley. The official score book shows a 70-46 tally, and the record will stand, despite the error appearing on the scoreboard. The game went pretty much as anticipated, with Lakewood easily controlling the tempo, and the score. The first four minutes of the game were slow with neither team showing any scoring, but once Lakewood found the range, it was dear that Maple Valley would be in for a long night The closest Maple Valley came to the Vikings was in the first two minutes of play when they trailed by four to two. In th4 next six minutes, however. Lake wood pulled away to a 16-8 lead at the end of the first quarter.

This unique educational adventure into America’s past is an attempt to offer area young people a chance to increase their knowledge and understanding by using the museum's resources. By making artifacts from the past available for use, and by creating situations in which the student is able to mimmic activities of the past and encouraging them to think and behave as their ancestors did, the students will be able to feel what living like their ancestors was like. To combine factual information with emotional responses, the students will understand the past and their relationship to it. In the pioneer kitchen the students will begin by comparing the pioneer kitchen to their home kitchens.

HOYT Additional Property Tax Cut Proposals Suggested One thing the Legislature will ____ have before it this year is an abundance of tax cut proposals as the governor, members of the Legislature and special interest groups put forth proposals to beat another tax cutting petition drive from getting on the ballot. With taxpayer revolt continuing to surface, a property tax cutting proposal is a top priority of the Legislature this year. Already Governor William G. Milliken has proposed a plan cutting property taxes about 35 percent with tome of the lost revenues being made up by an increase in the state sales tax. A property tax reform proposal that includes some features similar to the governor's has been released by the State Chamber of Commerce, representative of Lansing. The United Auto Workers also has issued a set of guidelines for property tax relief and vowed that obtaining the relief was its highest legislative priority In Lansing. Later Senators William Faust (D-Westland). Senate Majority Leader, and Jack Faxon (D-Detroft, chairman of the Senate Education Committee, proposed a constitu­ tional amendment exempting the first $660 in property taxes from payment. The proposal also provided for an in­ crease in the state tax by two cents with the revenues going to a special fund to reim­ burse local unhs of government for losses of revenue due to property tax exemption. The exemption would be adjusted each year according to the consumer price index. urged that a fixed ratio of spending to personal earnings be written into the constitution. Besides the 35 percent reduction, the governor's proposal would require rollbacks each year to keep gross tax earnings as a set level and exempt senior citizens from the first $1,400 in tax bills. Under the chamber's proposal, the rollbacks required by Milliken's suggestion could only be restored by a vote of the local people, instead of by the governing body. The chamber would also limit millage elections to once a year, specify that state spending could not exceed 8.4 percent of personal income and equal tax relief to businesses. Don Ephlin, UAW vice-president, said the governor's plan was inadequate because it ''gives too much relief to those who need it least." The UAW did not have an alternate proposal, but a position paper did say education is too dependent on property tax financing and current property tax credits and are too little’too ’ate for many home­ owners. The union's recommendations for a tax reform plan include automatic annual millage rollbacks tc offset increases in assessments, phasing in of equalization by class assess­ ments which are scheduled to take place this year, tax decreases that favor "working people rather than the wealthy and the corp­ orations," changes in the current circuit breaker program so that rebates are taken directly off the tax bills instead of mailed with income tax refunds. Meanwhile, the governor will begin meeting with legislative leaders to hammer out an agreement on the best way to proceed with total property tax reform. Whatever, is decided by them, however, it will ultimately be put to the people for final approval-possibly as early as this summer in a special election.

Kurt Niebauer [10] and another Delton player trv the action* ** ho- At 6'3” Delton's Dave Green is considered to be a fairly big man, bu’ Friday night the senior forward became the “Jolly Green Giant” when he led his teammates to a 48-46 hardfought win over Bangor. Green pumped in an 18foot jump shot with just five seconds left in the game to give Delton the win and at least a share of the KVA title for the second year in a row. Green had earlier scored a basket to tie the game with only three minutes remaining in the game. Bangor was not intimidat­ ed in the least by drive for the league championship, and matched Delton point for point, and held a two point lead near the end of the game. • Both teams were in a virtual tie at 10 points at the end of the first quarter, and 26 each at the half. Delton managed to take a 40-38 third quarter lead on the fine shooting of Dave Barry and Green. Delton’s usual smooth ball handling and passing were not in evidence during most of the first half. Erratic passes and their loss of ball control kept Bangor in the game, and Delton on the defense. Delton played a slow paced game, and while not going into a complete st. U, the Panthers did take plenty of time trying to work the ball under the baskets for good percentage shots. It was a very physical game, and both teams were flexing their muscles under the boards, but surprisingly few fouls Were called. Turnovers hurt both teams, and it seemed like the slow pace caused both teams to lose concentration in their ball handling and passing. Despite the close game and their inability to gain any big lead, both teams kept their poise and concentrated on making sure they did not give the ball away on desperation shots. Following the 4644 lead by Bangor late in the final period, Delton got possession of the ball and played a deliberate game of control, looking for an open man near the basket. Green’s game tying shot came when he left wide open outside the key, and got a good pass from Dave Barry. Following the go-ahead score by Green, Bangor got the ball and called for a time out of three seconds left. They got the hall in-bounds at mid-court, but a despera­ tion shot by Bangor fell short, and Delton squeaked through with the win. It was the 14th win for Delton this year, and gave them a 12-1 record in league play. Delton has just one game remaining, and Parchment with a 10-2 league record is the only team in the league with a mathematical chance of denying Delton an outright league championship. Dave Barry led the Delton scoring, getting nine field goals and a pair of free throws. Tony Whitehead led all scorers on 11 field goals and one free throw.

Feb. 23,1981, Page 8 Hastings Clinches TV Crown By HUGH FULLERTON Hastings clinched the Twin Valley League championship Friday evening, but not before Marshall gave the Saxons a mighty scare. After trailing for most of the game, Marshall overtook Hastings, led briefly, and had it tied 45-45 at the final buzzer. Despite several turnovers, Hastings regain­ ed the momentum in the overtime period and salted the game gway, 53-47. Hastings led 37 to 29 going into the final period, but the Redskins hit steadily until they trailed by a single point. 42-41. Phil Lasky, Marshall’s top scorer, hit a bucket to put Marshall ahead 43-42, midway in the quarter. The Redskins went into a stall, and Lasky was fouled by Hastings* Dan Ahearn with 2:04 to go in the game. . Lasky sank both free throws, giving Marshall a 45-42 edge. From then on, the game got wild and woolly. Kevin Raber was fouled, but missed the shot and Brian Huffman, who was strong on the backboards all night, picked it off. But scrappy Ahearn got into a jump situation with Marshall^ Mike Mumaw, and Hastings regained possession. Jim Shuster missed a shot, but Raber was again fouled. He made one shot and missed the second. But Jon Joynson got the rebound, passed to Shuster and Shuster sank it, tying the score at 4545. Bringing the ball down court, Marshall again stall­ ed, waiting for the final shot, Ahearn fell, fouling Mumaw. Mumak sank the free throw, but a Marshall ptoyer had stepped over the line, and the basket was ruled no good. Hastings brought the ball down, but a bad pass was picked off. However, in the two seconds left, Marshall could not set up a play, and the game went into over­ time. Shuster made a basket for Hastings to open the overtime period, and Raber was fouled by Marshall’s Brad Petty. He hit both free throws to give the Saxons a 4945 lead. Following a missed Marshall shot and a jump baD. Petty made a basket for the Redskins. Seconds later, Petty sank another, but he was called for traveling before the shot, and the score was nullified. Hastings' John Karpinski was fouled by Marshall’s Bob Yonkers, and sank both tosses to give Hastings a 51-47 lead. Shuster was fouled by Huffman, and sank both tries for the 5347 final score. The game started slowly, and with nearly half of the Woltjer, Dennis Redman Advance to State Finals Winning five of six matches in region*] action Saturday, a pair of Saxon wrestlers will now advance to the state finals to be held in Ann Arbor this Friday and Saturday. Dave Woltjer won both of his matches Saturday by pins, and took first place in the regionals in the 132 pound class. In 145 pound competition, Dennis- Redman won three matches, and lost only one to Kevin Raber takes a abet for Hastings. Raber scored three baskets and three important foul shots. first quarter gone, was tied at 2-2. Hastings rallied to lead 14-10 after one quarter, and maintained that lead at 22-18 at halftime. Marshall perked up in the third period, and had the game tied at 27-27 with slightly more than two minutes to go in the period. But the officials called two technical fouls against the Marshall bench, and Karpin­ ski sank all four free throws to give the Saxons a fourpoint lead. They widened that to eight points by the end of the third quarter, the largest lead they had all hight. Karpinski led the Saxons with 18 points, including 10 on field goals in the first half. Shuster, who was being closely guarded, had 15. Lasky led Marshall with 19 points, followed by Huffman with 10. The Redskins were very strong under the boards, often limiting Hastings to one shot. Statistically, free throws made the difference for the Saxons, as they had 20 attempts and sank 15. Hastings gave Marshall only 15 tries from the foul line, and the Redskins made seven of those. Marshall made it tough for Hastings under the boards as the Redskins picked off 20 defensive rebounds, many times denying the Saxons a second try for a basket. Marshall's Brian Huffman recovered 12 defensive and four offensive rebounds. Shuster took comparatively few shots, but missed only three from take second place in the tournament.

In recording a 79-49 win over Belding. Lakewood won its third straight outright title in a row. and their fifth in the last eight years. Their undefeated season this year, coupled with a 23-1 record of the last year gives the Vikings a healthy 40-1 record for the past two yeaps. Lakewood wasted no time Friday, jumping off to a 20-8 first quarter lead, then coasted the rest of the way against winless Belding. The Vikings built a 41-27 first half lead bn the accurate shooting of Jeff Heide and Steve French who collected a total of 48 points in the game. Coach Roily Krauss considered it one of the best games his team has played all year saying, "Everyone went all out, giving his best in the finest team effort we have shown. It was clearly a team win, and every player on the bench shared in the championship yin. It was an outstanding night for all of us." The game was quite physical, with a total of 48 personal fouls being called, 24 for each team. Both teams used a fast attack, but Belding could not capitalize on their speed by hitting the basket once they got the ball. Shsrp down court passing to Heide and French paid off for Lakewood with both sharpshooters hitting the hoop. Lakewood connected for 32 field goals and 15 out of 24 field throw attempts, while Belding could collect on 17 field goals for the night. Even with the Lakewood starters sitting on the bench, Belding could not stop the spirited champions. Lakewood scored 22 points in the third quarter while allowing just five for Beld­ ing. The Vikings were outscored 17-16 in the final period, but the big lead by Lakewood proved to be too much' for Belding. Jeff Heide led all scorers with 15 field goals and a pair of free throws for 32 points. Todd Setchfield collected three field goals and six free throws for Belding.

Kersjes collected six points in the overtime period following a tied game at 63 points each for the squads. Terry Pierce tied the score on a lay up following a full court after getting a rebound at his defensive board. Both teams used a fast break and were able to get down court, but had trouble in finding the basket. Maple Valley turned the ball over 24 times, and Portland gave it up 30 times in a mistakeridden game. Maple Valley hit on 27 field goals, as did Portland, but the difference in the game came al the free throw line. Maple Valley hit on 20, while Portland made good on only 15. Maple Valley grabbed 14 rebounds to 30 for Portland, but the Lions had a hard time hitting for many scores. They hit for only 30% from the field. Matching point for point, both teams were tied at 11 at the end of the first quarter, and Portland held a 33-31 lead at the intermission. The Lions trailed 50-42 at the end of the,third quarter, but came roaring back in the last quarter of regulation play, outscoring Portland 21-13 to gain the tie and sepd the gave into overtime. Four Maple Valley starters scored in double figures, with Kersjes leading the way with 18. He collected only eight points in the first three periods of play, and it was his 10 points) in the final two periods that provided the Lions with the win. Coach Jerry Reese was happy with the win saying, “Portland has always been tough on us, and the win Friday was a particularly good one since we played at Portland. Portland always seems to be up when they play us, and this game was no exception." The win gives Maple Valley a 12-6 record for the year, just about what Coach Reese had predicted at the beginning of t he season. Portland had two players score in double figures Fri­ day, with Kevin Hatch lead­ ing the way with 20 points on seven field goals and six free throws.

Immunization Clinic Reports Schedule In the early 1920’s an average of 10,000 people, annually, were victims of diphtheria in Michigan. To combate this dangerous communicable disease, Michigan began to develop a diphtheria vaccine and offered it free to doctors for immunication of children. By 1937 the number of deaths from diphtheria had dropped to less than 50 per year, in contrast to over a 1,000 each year in the early twenties. Whooping cough, typhoid fever, measles, polio and smallpox, however, continued to plague the state. In 1940 whooping cough vaccine was distributed fre** to physicians and health departments. By 1949 mumps vaccine began to be utilized, followed by polio vaccine in 1954 and 1957. The development of* effective vaccines for measles and rubella occurred in the 1960’s. Success in the prevention and in the twentieth century control of communicable disease has been largely brought about by immunization.- Continued success depends upon each of us accepting responsibility for having each member of your family and ourselves protected by proper immunization. Check with your local health department if you have any questions. The health department immunization clinics are at the following locations and dates: Monday, March 2, 1981 from 8:30 a.m. to 11:00 ajn. and 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Barry-Eaton District Health Department, 220 W.

An unusually heavy snow­ fall followed by a quick thaw is keeping Barry County Road Commission crews busy tryiaig to maintain county roads. According to Ron Lear, County Manage^ Engineer, the quick run off of water created by the melting snow has been causing flooding over several roads through­ out the county. Culverts, plugged with ice and snow have been filling the ditches alongside the roads, and the water is flooding over the roads since it cannot pass through the culverts. Crews have been hauling gravel to areas washed out by the flooding, and steam generated equipment has to be used to clear the plugged culverts, allowing the normal flow of water to proceed in the ditches. Less than two weeks ago, road crews were faced with the problem of snow removal on the county roads. On Feb. 14, every truck and driver available were pressed into service in an attempt to maintain county roads covered with ice and snow. Lear reported the one day of overtime work for drivers came to over $4,000 for labor alone, and the cost of sand, gravel and salt added another $4,000 to the cost of the one day of road maintenance. Lear said a revised budget for the county road operations show a reduction of over $135,000 in funds received from the state. The total budget shows the state will provide just over $L5 mjllion dollars tp Barry County. Fuel and weight tax revenue, the main source of support for Michigan’s state and local highway and transportation systems, declined again in the last quarter of 1980 compared with 1979, the Michigan Department of Transportation reported today. Gas tax r _______ proceeds decreased 92 percent fromj the October-December period of 1979 and weight taxes (license plate) fees fell by 7A percent. Net income for distribution to the state, counties and municipalities and to public transit and rail systems was down by nine percent. That is a slight improvement from the third quarter distribution, which was off 10.9 percent from a year earlier. Gas tax proceeds totaled $108,071,23,6. down by $10,920,047. The yield from the diesel fuel tax, which was reduced last April 1 from nine to five cents a gallon for truck operators, fell from $7,992,285 in the last quarter of 1979 to $3,533,565 last year. The loss was partially recovered through $2,546,492 in special fees paid by truckers receiv­ ing the full tax discount. Weight taxes produced $32,631,130, a decline of $2,663,464. Gross receipts in the Michigan Transportaion Fund for the last quarter, including interest earnings and miscellaneous revenue, totaled $152,641,030, a decline of $15,548,148.

Good Checking Account Alternative for You And Your Money Offices in Hastings and Middleville Member FDIC �THE HASTINGS BANNER, Wfd. Feb. 25,1981 Piy J HUGH’S MUSE Heide and Helpers Help Free Snowbound Motorist By HUGH FULLERTON Banner Publisher Jeff Heide, Lakewood's leading point­ getter this year, earns points off the court as well, with the help of teammates. After a recent game, our reporter was stuck in the snow, and tried unsuccessfully for 15 minutes to get free. It looked like a job for the wrecker. The driver's fuming and fretting was interrupted by a gentle thumping from outside the car. Doing the thumping was Heide, who with several of his teammates had just finished giving a not-so-gentle thumping to a Lakewood opponent. The young men kindly picked up the rear end of the small car and "Heide's helpers" placed the car out where it could get some traction. Without even waiting for thanks, they drove off. Where are the grosbeaks, we asked in a recent column. The answer is they'd just been patronizing other feeders in the neighborhoods. Among those reporting good-size flocks of the winter visitors were Mrs. Hubert Newal’ nf Gun Lake, who says her 20 or so Grosbeaks eat two pounds of sunflower seeds every morning. Judge Dick Loughrin of Indian Hills, and Ethel Boze, who lives southeast of Hastings of Sager Rd. Absentee ballots are generally thought to be free, but it cost one local couple a few cents to cast their ballot in the school millage election, which takes place when they will be out of town. Each voter was mailed a ballot with insufficient postage on the envelope. Each large envelope had a 15 cent stamp, but the postage was 28 cents. We know that times are tight in the school district, but it seems like the taxpayers shouldn't have to pay again just to get their ballots. Science Fiction, Westerns Wedding Dey Net Far A#/?

Verlyn F. Stevens • Supervisor Added at Library New science fiction stories, and western novels, among the many new books being added currently to the Hastings Public Library, are being reviewed by the staff this week. Beta Colony is a novel by iRobert Enstrom about the planet once known as the earth. Daniel Trevor is sentenced to exile on the earth for being convicted of assassination. Daniel is kidnapped by rnthless renegades who plan to sacrifice him to their idol, the Flame. A telepathic savage girl Deri teams up with Daniel, and the two strive to escape. The Seekers Of Shar-Nuhn by Ardath Mayhar is about the land that holds the Three Secrets, which can be reached by wandering through the corridors of the Tower of Truth. Shar-Nuhn is the land of pilgrimage, a mystically bizarre world like earth. Forgotten races, beautiful aliens, evil wizards, mysterious and terrible curses, and two courageous heroes are all in this science fiction novel. A book received as a gift, Four Came Back, by Martin Caidin, is the story of eight astronauts stricken by a deadly disease while they orbit the Earth in the internationally sponsored space station Epsilon. As they search to discover the source and to find a cure for the disease, the men must decide whether to stay in space or die, or return to Earth for help and possibly initiate a plague. A Storm Of Wings continues a story begun by M. John Harrison in The Paste) City. In a distant future world, once swept by holocaust, a new threat from space is imminent in the form of a giant locusts swarming across the galaxy. Doing battle with these deadly invaders are "alchemist dwarves, star­ ship captains, and resurrected humans called Reborn Men." Also set in the distant future of Earth is Thomas Monteleone’s Guardian. In this story a new civilization rises from its past of wars and destruction, and strives to reinstate man in his dominant, technological role. In order to obtain the knowledge necessary to accomplish this resurrect­ ion, four people go in search of Guardian, a powerful machine from the First Age, which holds the secrets of the past. But the machine has its own plans... The Magazine Of Fantasy & Science Fiction, A 30-Year Retrospective, edited by Edward L.

Michigan's laying Docks produced 132 million eggs during Dec., the largest average monthly production since Oct. 1978, according to the Michigan Agricultural Reporting Service (FederalState). Layer numbers surpassed last year's average by 4 percent, while rate of lay increased only fractionally. The East North Central Region showed substantial increases from last Dec. for turkey and egg type eggs in incubators on January 1, 1981. Broiler eggs set dropped another 19 percent this month. The Nation's laying flocks produced over 6 billion eggs during Dec. 1980, slightly below a year ago. Laying numbers averaged 294 million during the month, compared with 296 million a year earlier.Rate of lay for the U.S. averaged 2,057 eggs per 100 layers.

Case Hope Township Clerk HASTINGS TOWNSHIP Symptoms of Reyes Syndrome Listed Because this is the influenza season, parents once again are being alerted to the symptoms of Reye’s syndrome. According to our estimate, from twenty to fifty cases of Reye’s syndrome will probably occur this winter among children under 18 years of age. Although the symptoms may be familiar to you, I repeat them. Usually the disease begins three to seven days after the onset of influenza-like chickenpox illness, often when the child is recovering. There is protracted vomiting and change in behavior, exclud­ ing excessive drowsiness to the point that the child falls asleep and is difficult to arouse, excessive irritability, combativeness, and marked inappropriate behavior. If your child shows '.hese symptoms, take him or her to a doctor immediately. Early diagnosis has a bear­ ing on the .success of the treatment. Eighty to 90 percent of the children who contract Reye’s syndrome will survive with appropriate treatment. Now, a word of caution about treating your child with aspirin. Last year a health department study of Reye’s syndrome cases suggested that children who developed the syndrome were more likely to have taken aspirin or medication containing aspirin during the preceding illness. Similar findings in Ohio and Arizona have led us to recommend that parentsnot administer aspirin or medication containing aspirin to children with flu­ like illnesses or chickenpox. If your child has a low-grade fever, sponge him or hei with lukewarm water instead of giving aspirin. Alt hough aspirin cert ainly is not the sole factor involved, withholding it when it is not really needed is good advice at this time. Since Sept. 1, six cases of Reye’s syndrome have occurred in Michigan and all children survived. We don’t expect to see the high incidence this year that we had last year when 83 cases and five deaths were report­ ed. The reason is that the type of flu circulating this year -type A-Bangkokappears to be associated less with Reye’s syndrome than the type-B strain of last year. We don’t wish to alarm you, but caution is advised. Reye’s syndrome continues to be a serious disease, but with early diagnosis and treatment it need not be a fatal one. Fewer Potatoes In Storage Potato stocks in Michigan as of Feb. 1,1981 are down a third from a year earlier, according to the Michigan Agricultural Reporting Service (Federal-State). Reports from growers, shippers and processors place stocks at 2.2 million hundredweight compared to 3.4 million hundredweight last year. Disappearance for the 1980 potato crop from start of harvest to Feb. 1 totaled 5.2 million hundredweight, an increase of 13 percent from the same period last year. Marketing of the 1980 potato crop continues ahead of schedule in response to a sharp increase in prices. Shrinkage and loss for the storage season continues at near normal levels. So far this season, 70 percent of the crop has been removed from storage compared to 58 percent on this date a year ago. Nationally, potato stocks for t he 15 major fall states of Feb. 1 are estimated at 118 million hundredweight, 20 percent below a year ago. Of the total stocks on hand in the 11 major states, 77 percent were russets, 20 percent whites and 3 percent reds. Board of Review Will meet Mon., March 9 and Tuesday, March 10, 1981.

Although she has never been seen driving a mail truck around town, Mabel Thomas has been delivering mail in Hastings for five years. Every day except Sunday, Mrs. Thomas volunteers to deliver mail to about 100 residents of Provincial House. A resident of the skilled nursing facility for six and a half years herself, Mrs. Thomas gathers the mail when it is dropped off at noon and sorts it. First she takes out the mail that goes to the business office and then she divides it according to the wing that each resident lives on. There are four wings, so Mrs. Thomas must remember where each resident lives. She memorizes everyone’s room number because she delivers the mail to each resident in person. When asked how she keeps track of all the residents, Mrs. Thomas says, “I just learn who they are as soon 8* they come in." She added, “I pretty much know all of them, but once in awhile I go to the chart )to check a room number)." After sorting the mail, Mrs. Thomas takes a break for lunch and then delivers in the afternoon. In addition to being the “mail lady" at Provincial House, Mrs. Thomas volunteers to be the regular bingo caller. She says she has been calling bingo numbers almost as long as she has been delivering mail. "I have never played bingo but I used to call at square dances," she said, explaining how she got involved calling bingo every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. “She has a great voice-it really booms,” Activities Director Rosemary Shaffer, THE HASTINGS BANNER, Wed.

Since Mrs. Thomas doesn’t get a chance to play, she is given a prize every week for calling the numbers instead. In between calling and delivering mail, Mrs. Thomas enjoys reading. Her favorite author is Janet Bailey. "I have always read," Mrs. Thomas said. “My eyes are getting bad so I can’t read as much now." Born in Van Buren County in 1902, Mrs. Thomas has done everything from nursing and housekeeping to farming and factory work. She moved to Provincial House from her farm in Van Buren County when health problems caused her to need nursing care. The mother of three children, Mrs. Thomas took a correspondence course in architecture and Greek Mythology. She also has five grandchildren and one great -grandchild. Her plans for the future? To keep delivering the mail and calling bingo at Provincial House, she says with a sweet smile that lights her whole face as she goes intently about her "work."

Mint Crop On Increase in Michigan There's more to mint than jelly, although that's nice with lamb chops. One ol the many good things growing in Michigan, mint flavors our chewing gum and our tooth­ paste, our candy canes at Christmas, and decorates our frosty summer drinks. Mint is making a come­ back in Michigan, once the nation’s leading producer. and the country's largest mint oil processor is head­ quartered in Kalamazoo. According to the Michigan Department of Agrieulute, 3,800 .acres of spearmint were grown here last year and fewer acres of pepper­ mint. About 118,000 pounds of oil were produced from the mint leaves, with farmers receiving $1,475,000 Hastings Area ALGONQUIN LAKE BIBLE CHURCH. 2625 Airport Rd. David Thompson Pater. Home phonr *48*079.

Corny Seafood Bake If you think America is a corny country—you're right. Some folks say America is a "corny" country and they're right. We love corn. The love affair started with the Pilgrims who found it was easy to grow and wonder­ fully versatile, then found its way to the South where they made it their own. Early Southern cookbooks are filled with recipes for preparing com, using it in desserts, as onedish meals or to accompany meats. Now, some Iwo hundred years later, we're "cornier” than ever and still finding new uses for corn. One of the latest is an easy seafood bake that uses several varieties of fish,.dipped in a pre-seasoned com bread batter. Simply take any available fresh fish filets or shellfish and cut into serving size pieces. Dip each piece into a beaten egg mix­ ture and coat with finely ground Pepperidge Farm Corn Bread Stuffing Mix. Bake in a moderate oven for about 20 minutes and serve with any seafood sauce.

Feb. 25.1981, Page 8 Lakewood Rolls, Saxons Down Improved Heide Sets Record Grand Ledge 82-75 Showing brief periods of inconsistent scoring, the Hastings Saxons did manage to put forth a full team effort Tuesday night to down a battling Grand Ledge, 82-75. Hastings outscored their visitors in the first and third quarters, while Grand Ledge managed to stay close by taking the measure in the second and fourth. The Saxons-jumped off to a 22-15 opening period score, and it looked like they were on their way to a fairly easy win, but Grand Ledge refused to collapse and Hastings could net build a big lead. Coach Wayne Brown was happy with his total team effort, and was pleased with the team passing, and ball control, but noted his defense could have been more effective. The Saxons did not have one of their best nights at the free throw line, hitting on only 22 of 43 attempts, while Grand Ledge collected 25 out of 30. Jim Shuster had an outstanding night, getting 15 field goals and seven free throws for 37 points. Grand Ledge stayed close to Hastings until the half­ way point in the third period, when the Saxons got a break on a technical foul called against Grand Ledge. Hastings made good on all three free throws, then scored a quick basket when they got possession of the ball. The five point scoring spurt gave the Saxons the lead they wanted, and MV Runs Out of Gas, Loses 61-40 to Vestaburg Maple Valley put on a pretty good show for their first half in a game against Vestaburg Tuesday, but ran out of gas in the next two periods, and took their 13th. loss of the year. 61-40. Shooting only at a 29% clip, the Lions missed scoring opportunities on easy layups shots through­ out the entire third quarter.

Snyder, and DeWayne Johnson, and when they were denied shots. Jack Wood was able to score from under the baskets. Fouls did not hamper either team, as only a total of 15 were called the entire game. It was the same problem Maple Valley faced all year in their long season, their inability to mount a sustain­ ed scoring attack. The bulk of the scoring for Maple Valley came from John Kent, and Pat Kersjes, who each collected 12 points. Jake Wood led all scorers in the game, collecting six field goals and five free throws.

Putting together a good second half, the Delton Panthers held off a stubborn Gull Lake Tuesday night to come away with a 70-58 win. Delton was slow staring and held only a 11-7 lead at the end of the first quarter. Things improved for the Panthers in the second period, but so did Gull Lake. Delton went off the court at the half leading 28-28. With Dave Green Hitting from outside the key, and Dave Barry scoring from under the boards, Delton managed to pull away in the final two periods of play. Using a patterned and deliberat offense, Delton played percentage ball, hit­ ting on 27 of 54 field goal attempts. Delton also got 35 rebounds and hit for 16 of 25 shots from the free throw line. Coach Jack McWilliams used all of his players, after finally getting a comfortable lead in the last quarter.

Dave Green walked away with scoring honors, getting nine field goals and one free throw. Dave Barry hit for eight field goals and two free throws. High man for Gull Lake was Bill Harrison, who got 17 points on six field goals and five free throws. Delton plays its final regular game of the season this Friday, hosting Kalamazoo Christian.

Mi- higan Price 20‘ Monday, March 2,1981 HHS Criticised, Praised In U-M Evaluation The Hastings High School Library and reduced curriculum came in for criticism from the Uniyersity of Michigan, but generally Hastings High School got high grades after a recent U-M accreditation evaluation. The school was Local Council Approves Plan, Budget For County Transportation System visited on Feb. 18. Philip F. Hanson, visiting consultant for the U-M Bureau of School Services, reported that Hastings did not meet the U-M Accreditation Standard which requires the school to have a fulltime librarian. It noted that the librarian in Hastings is in charge of all school libraries, and has to train and supervise aides in a’J buildings. He added that the school expects to change this "unsatisfactory situation" in 1981-82. Among suggestions for improvement. Hanson listed the following: 1- -The library,'media center will be improved by the return to a fulltime librarian. 2- The HHS library was “weeded" some years ago, but the money crunch has prevented the school from making adequate replace­ ments. 33-Curriculum cuts, caused by staff and budget reductions, should be restored to keep HHS operating at the high level of previous years. Here are Hanson's compliments to the school: Commendations 1- Hastings High School is commended for providing excellent educational opportunities for Hastings youth for many years. Hastings High School has continually exceeded the minimum accreditation standards of The University of Michigan. This effort has been made to provide the best schooling possible for the Hastings youth. 2- Hastings offers on its own campus, without the help of shared-time pro­ grams, 119 units of study. This is reduced from the 126 units offered previously due to reduced funds. 3-The 20 acre school site provides a complete facility. The building; now just over ten years old, is an excellent building for housing Hastings’ programs. The athletic facilities are very good, both for the complete physical education program and for all sports. There is a 400 seat lecture room (or small auditorium) for class meetings, study halls and so on. There is a large auditorium in the nearby middle school for plays, concerts, and operettas. The building is dean and well maintained, although it has some minor roof problet..s caused by well hidden small leaks. 4- Hastings* classrooms are equipped with abundant quantities of modern teach­ ing devices. The school makes extensive use of films, tapes, and film strips. It has a video tape unit that is in constant use in all kinds of classes. 5- The curriculum guide, teachers handbook, student handbook, and all documents appear to be excellent. The statements are dear and concise, and the philosophical thrust is maintained throughout. Job descriptions are also well done. This documentation is important to a well managed school. 6- -Although there have been cuts in some programs, the school appears to be functioning smoothly. Classes observed were well run, with good student participation. Hastings students seem to be well motivated, polite and friend­ ly. Staff relations seem to be very good, both with students and teachers. 7- -Students have started to decorate some corridors with colorful purals. In one English classroom, a student is painting the faces of famous authors. These activities seem to show great pride in the school on the part of the students.

In a 4-3 ruling the high court said modern mobile/ manufactured homes have few defects or other draw­ backs to justify discrimination under local zoning laws which frequent­ ly prohibit them outside designated mobile home parks, according to MHI. Any future zoning restrictions, the court ruled, must be based on such reasons as failure to satisfy standards meant to assure compatibility with mobile/ manufactured homes and other nearby housing, according to the decision. The Supreme Court concurred with an earlier ruling by the State Court of Appeals declaring a single mobile/manufactured home is not in itself a nuisance. That Appeals Court ruling concerned Robinson Township in Michigan’s Ottawa County and its attempt to block a family from placing a mobile home on a privately owned piece of land within the town limits. “The significance of this decision cannot be over­ emphasized." said MHI President Walter L. Benning. "Michigan’s highest court has sent out a message I hope will be heard around the country; you cannot blindly exclude or restrict mobile/manufactured homes just because they are in fact mobile/manufactured homes,” Benning said. "Simply stated, today’s mobile/manufactured home, built to the Mobile Home Construction and Safety Standards first implemented in 1976, is every bit as attractive, safe and durable as any comparable site-built house.

Loughrin was appointed to the South­ west Michigan Health Sys­ tems Agency’s (SWMHSA) Board of Trustees at their meeting last night in Kala­ mazoo. As a consumer represen­ tative from Barry County, Judge Loughrin was ap­ pointed by the County Board of Commissioners. Sandra Pattok, Hastings, is the other board member repre­ senting Barry County. Judge Loughrin was ap­ pointed Probate Judge ol Barry County in August 1975 by Governor Milliken. He has also served on as­ signment as Circuit Judge, Probate Judge, and District Judge in a number counties in southern and western Michigan over the past ten years. He is a lecturer of the Michigan Judicial Institute in continuing education pro­ grams for judges and court administrative and profes­ sional personnel. The SWMHSA is a non­ profit organization respon­ sible for health planning and resource development in eight counties of southwest Michigan. Its board, con­ sisting of both health care consumers and providers, reviews area health projects and funding grants, and develops long and short range health plans designed to address the specific healt h concerns of the south­ west Michigan region. Rev. Curtis Honored By Mental Health Board Rev. Willard H. Curtis was honored by the BarryCounty Community Mental Health Board at a luncheon held at the Middle Villa Inn on Feb. 19. Chairman Arthur Ellinger. presented Rev. Curtis with a plaque inscribed: “For the unexcelled contribution of Willard Curtis for the Origination, Organization and Development of Barry County Mental Health ” ' ‘ Services.” Rev. Curtis served as vice-chairman of the B. rry County Mental Health Committee during 1970. Since then, he has served the Board as Finance (’hairman until he resigned at the end of his term in Decern her of 19H0. which is truly within the financial reach of the average family," Benning added. The Michigan decision comes ,on the heels of a recently enacted law in California that effectively precludes local jurisdiction's from discriminating against mobile/manufact ured housing, according to MHI. quit <>r are fired for misconduct, minor theft or wilful destruction of property face benefits. If a worker quits or is fired, the only way s/he can receive benefits is to go back to work, Taylor said. According to the new law a worker must work and earn an amount that is either: --seven times the claimant’s potential weekly benefit rate with the employer involved in the disqualification; or-seven imes the state’s minimum hourly wage times 40 (7 $3.35 x 40 equals $93b whichever is less. Under the old law, a worker could requalify for jobless benefits after quitting or being discharged for misconduct, by serving a 13-week requalification period and losing 13 weeks of benefits. If they were fired for minor theft or wilful destruction of property, the penalty was for 12weeks. Other major changes in the state unemployment law allow a new worker a 30-day trial period; affect eligibility for benefits when a misconduct discharge is changed to a disciplinary layoff; and exempt students from a waiver of seeking work. To implement the law changes, Taylor said his agency launched a massive training program to instruct MESC staff about the changes and their resulting impacts on agency procedures. The MESC also began updating forms and informational booklets to employers and claimants, and started collecting additional information from claimants. A pamphlet describing the law’s major changes is now available to the public through MESC offices statewide.

Nelson and Louise Replogle Dennis & Wanda Denslaw Richard & Judy Sharp To Avoid Mandatory Slashes By WARREN M. HOYT MILLIKEN HOPES TO AVOID BUDGET CUT ORDER THROUGH VOLUNTARY CUTS The state's economy is not rebounding as was originally hoped and in hopes of avoiding a budget-cutting executive order to balance the current year's budget, Governor William G. Milliken is asking department directors to tighten their belts further and possibly make further layoffs. In letters recently sent to all 19 agency heads, Milliken asked for a report on the new economy moves by March 2. He did not give each department a target amount of savings it was expected to produce but simply asked each director to redouble your efforts to reduce spending so as to maximize lapses." Budget lapses are unspent appropriations returned to the general fund at the end of each fiscal year. The governor sent the letters following a memo from Management and Budget Director Gerald Miller asking for an estimate of money that would be lapsed by each department at current levels of operation. conditions aren't historical. He said the department director's estimates may have fallen so far short because it has been such a tight year already that they see few areas where money will be left over at the end of the year.

Mai ch 2.1381. ftp 5 Lake Odessa Notes To Sorority Post Following in the footsteps of two sisters, Mary Hodges, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Hodges, of 421 S. Park, Hastings, was installed as chaplain of a Michigan State University sorority. Hodges, who pledged membership to Delta Delta Delta in the fall of 1979 after graduating from Hasting® High School, was elected chaplain Feb. 2, 1981 and was installed two weeks later in a brief ceremony. Her sisters, Kathleen and Cheryl, became chaplains of their sororities in 1975 and 1977. Kathleen was chapluin of MSTFs chapter of Alpha Delta Pi and Cheryl was chaplain of the University of Michigan's chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma. “I am really happy to have been ?~'*cted as chaplain." Hodges said. She was elected chaplain after the sorority sisters choee members whom they thought were best qualified for the position. Hodges said a committee then chose ■ the official to be chaplain from the state the entire sorority had drawn up. The MSU sophomore said the chaplain’s job consists of three major duties: to keep her sorority member's spirit up, help solve personal problems of her sorority sisters and lead candlelight ceremonies for special events such as wedding engagements. Hodges believes it is important the girls can come to her with problems and not have to worry something personal may become public. “Al! problems discussed are confidential," she said. “That is crucial as some girls feel their problems are not large enough to go before the whole chapter but feel comfortable talking with the chaplain." Of the three major duties of a chaplain, Hodges is especially excited about leading candlelight services. She said she will be the only one to know about the service before it takes place. What she is looking forward to is having all the sorority girls together to sharing in special events. Third in the hierarchy of the sorority, after the president and vice-president she is aware of her responsibility to her fellow sisters. "When I think seriously about my position at Tri-Delta, I am not trying to compete with my sisters' reputations as chaplains,” Hodges said “I just want to help as much as I can and do my best.” Hodges wants to be a certified public accountant after graduating, again following in the footsteps of a sister. Hodges* oldest sister, Kathleen, has become a certified public accountant since graduating from MSU in 1977. Dads, Daughters Wear Hobo Garb for Dinner The Campfire girls 34th annual father-daughter event in Hastings featured a dinner of Hobo stew, buscuits, stuffed celery, cake, and jello served to fathers and daughters arrayed in tramp's garb at the Moose Lodge in Hastings.

Outlook Favorable for Good Spring Steelhead Run With peak steelhead runs keyed to rising water and’ higher temperatures, recent warm weather and heavy runoff from melting snow should mean an excellent spring seas of state anglers, according to Automobile Club of Michigan. Most of the 35 rivers listed on Auto Club's 1981 Steelhead Fishing Guide al­ ready are swollen from the rapid melting of this win­ ter's snow. That runoff, plus above normal prt Jpitation and temperatures predicted for Michigan through mid- March, should help warm rivers to the optimum 40-degree range needed to send the survivors of more than three million fish planted in 1978 and 1979 into spawning streams. Planted as six-to 10-inch fish, surviving steel­ head now weigh six to 15 pounds. Because of warmer weath­ er and heavy plantings, many southwest Michigan streams are receiving initial runs with fair to good catch­ es reported. Angler pres­ sure and runs in that region should peak from mid-March to early April. From late Maple Valley Falls to Montcalm The young Maple Valley Lions basketball squad came out on the short end of a 69-50 score in the last regular season game. The Lions finished the season with a 6-14 record, in what coach Jerry Reese calls, "A re-building year." The Lions outscored Central Montcalm in the first period, 14-10. and led by one at the half, 27-26. “We couldn't score in the third period," Reese said. The Lions didn't sink a third period bucket tfl only one and one-half minutes remained. Central Montcalm scored 22 points in the third period and 21 in the final stanza. "They gained C'nfidence and the upper hand in the third, then forced us into real trouble in the final quarter." Reese said. Individual scoring for M-V.

Portions of the Pere Mar­ quette and Little Manistee rivers are restricted to fly fishing only. Although chemical con­ taminant levels in Great Lakes fish are falling, the State Department of Public Health has continued its warning that Lake Michigan steelhead may contain haz­ ardous amounts of polychlor­ inated biphenyls (PCBs). Children and nursing mothers are advised not to eat Lake Michigan steel­ head. AU others should con­ sume no more than one-half pound per week. Plan Annual Banquet .

The SUte's corn production of 247 million bushels is 4 percent above last year's record crop. The State average yield was the same as last year’s record yield of 95 bushels per acre. Michigan is the eighth largest producer of corn for grain in the country. Soybean production at 30.4 million bushels was virtually unchanged from last year’s record level, only surpassing it by 100.000 bushels. Acreage harvested declined to 960,000 acres, but a record average yield of 32 bushels per acre off set the drop. Sugarbeet production increased 22 percent this fall with better yields harvested from more acres this season An average yield of 19.5 tons from 97,000 acres was harvested. Popcorn production st 19 million pounds was up 3 percent while alfalfs hay production dimed 1 percent over 3.2 million tons cut. Nationally corn production declined 16 percent to just over 6.6 billion bushels due to lower yields in the traditional corn growing states. The national average yield dropped 19 bushels to 91 bushels to the acre. For the same reason soybean production declines 20 percent to li billion bushels. Sugarbeet and popcorn production is increased while alfalfa hay production declined. 2£MtodayV staff ot MteQg MOBILEHOMES LOST Michigan Sets Sets Corn, Beans Records Female Walker coon hound lost near M-66 and M-50.

The total was down 52 percent from the 64.9 billion miles driven in 1979 and 9.5 percent from the record 67.4 billion set in 1978. It was virtually the same as the 61.6 billion miles driven in 1976. The department estimate is based on fuel consumption and on regular traffic counts and surveys throughout the state. The decrease in driving, stemming primarily from the economic recession and the growth of public transportation services and ride-sharing, contributed to the drop in traffic fatalities last year. State Police reported 1,732 deaths, a reduction of 117 from 1979, although the total is expected . slight,y with “delayed deaths” resulting from 1980 accidents.

There's just no two ways about h. Anyone who does not vote for the 18.51 mills Hastings school millage renewal to simply being irresponsible. With the state school aid formula tied to local millage as it is, and relatively little coming from guaranteed local taxes, the schools simply could not operate without the millage being requested. Sure, there are problems. There are obvious disagreements on what taxpayers should have to bear, and what should be eliminated from the schools. But these are trivia, really, compared to the basic tasue-the schools need the money. Some people are taking pot shots at the feet that the millage renewal would eradicate the rollback effects of the Headlee Amendment of the last two years. A renewal vote will mean your actual tax rate will go up .66 mill this year, because of Headlee. But how much money to that for most of us? A few bucks to the typical homeowner. The critics' valid complaints are about factors that local school boards cannot control. Michigan has grown far too depend­ ent on taxes which fluctuate with the economy, and the state government to in a heckuva bind. Our legislature has boon irresppnsible, and the governor less than candid, in creating and meeting the current problems. Schools have been unfairly treated in the cutbacks. Taxpayers would probably feel bettor if j the salary contract with the teachers were settled by now. It to not. Although no actual budget has been approved. It to obvious that a mere millage renewal provides nothing for pay increases. A few small hems, cut from the current year's budget, may bo restored. But any substantial teacher pay increase would cost far more than a mMage renewal can provide, simply because teacher salaries ore by far the largest item in any school budget. Frankly, if you want to register a protest against rising taxes and costs of education, you'll probably have a bettor chance later this spring or summer. It seems likely that the schools wW come bock and ask for a second mMage election, this time for funds which could restore some of the programs which have been cut In the pact couple years. If you fool you can't stand additional taxes, that's the time to vote "no", without doing Irreparable harnf to our chiidron's education. It to highly important, however, that the teachers come to terms with the school board before that still-distant millage election. Unless the taxpayers are convinced that additional funds will mean better education, and not Just more dollars in someone's pocket, an additional mMage won't stand a chance of passing. But for now, we must have a renewal of the 18.51 mills. Vote "yes" w4wn you go to the polls Monday. LtGov.

Barry-Eaton Court In Pilot Program Boy Scout Troop 73 Scoutmaster Roger Kelley, and Mrs. Kelley, presented Eagle Scout honors to their oldest son, 18 year old HHS senior Thomas Kelley.

A three-month pilot program utilizing sentencing guidelines in criminal cases is now underway in three Michigan courts-Detroit Recorder's Court, Ingham County Circuit Court and Barry County-Eaton County Circuit Court. The program, which may herald a significant future impact on criminal sentencing procedures, has the approval of the Michigan Supreme Court. Purpose of the guidelines is to focus upon uniformity in sentencing, and to improve the quality of judicial discretion in sentencing, according to Associate Supreme Court Justice Blair Moody, Jr., who chaired the Felony Sentencing Project Steering and Policy Committee. He said the three areas for the pilot program were chosen to provide a cross­ section of the state's urban and rural population. The felony sentencing guidelines project began in 1978 with a year-long study of sentencing patterns throughout the criminal justice system. The study, “Sentencing in Michigan,” found evidence of general sentencing disparity not explained by offense or by offender characteristics, as well as regional and racial disparity. A series of recommendations, based on the study, were made to the Supreme Court, which named an advisory committee to devise sentencing guidelines and the scoring system to be used in the pilot project. The study and guidelines development were directed by Dr. Marvin Zalman, Chairman, Department of Criminal Justice, Wayne State University and Dr. Charles Ostrom, Jr., Department of Political Science. Michigan State University. General goal of the pilot project, according to Moody, is to assess the feasibility of sentencing guidelines, to determine how they are accepted by judges and other courtroom participants, and to make preliminary determination of 4he impact on the guidelines upon actual sentencing. Specifically, field testing will determine the reasons judges depart from guidelines; whether the items used to determine the offense score in the sentenc­ ing process “make sense"; whether the scoring system is user-oriented and under­ standable; and whether time needed to fill out guidelines is unduly burdenpome to probation officers. Judges participating in the pilot program, and prosecutors, defense counsel, probation officers and court administrators were trained in the use of the guidelines procedures at a seminar conducted by the sentencing guidelines staff. Procedures for. implementing sentencing guidelines include the use of the defendant's prior criminal record and information regarding the current offense. This information is scored by the sentencing judge and then applied to one of many grids which indicate the suggest­ ed guidelines sentencing range. Information such as race or economic status is excluded. Under the indeterminate sentence law, the sentencing judge must examine the character and propensities of the offender in determin­ ing sentence, depending on •he professionally prepared presentence investigation report. This aspect of sentencing continues even though the guidelines are available, and the guidelines are not binding on the sentencing judge. However, if the judge sentences outside the guide­ lines, which have been prepared for the most frequent major felonies, the reasons for doing so must be stated in open court and on the record. When the pilot program ends, the advisory committee will report to the Supreme Court on the use of the guidelines, and will recommend future steps. The Advisory Committee includes Justice Blair Moody, Jr.. Chairman; Ms. Elizabeth Arnovits, Mich,gan Council on Crime & Delinquency; Einer Bohlin, Former State Court Administrator; Judge Robert L. Evans, Recorder's Court; Judges Charles S. Farmer, Wayne County Circuit Court; Judge Michael G. Harrison, Ingham County Circuit Court; William Kime, Department of Corrections; Frank Knox.

Recognizing that the present economic situation is tough on workers of all ages, Oettle noted that the economy is expected to improve over the coming months. "Older workers should be given an equal chance to be employed." Numerous studies have shown that, contrary to popular belief, older workers are often more qualified than their younger counterparts. Older workers are able to demonstrate a more positive attitude toward their work, greater job stability once hired, less absenteeism, a less likeli­ hood of quitting, and fewer work-related accidents. Men and women who bring years of experience to their jobs, exercise better judgement, and show , more maturity. This {information is confirmed by recent surveys which indicate that peak working performance is reached between the ages of 51 and 60. Oettle concluded his appeal by asking the employers in this state to take a long hard look at these statistics which prove that the elderly are a sound economic resource.

Harold Freeman, a resident of the city and a real estate salesman, said people are confusing the issue of zoning. “It’s not that we don't want any zoning at all-it’s just that we want to take zoning out of state control and put the control at the local level." Jim Rice, a resident of Maple Grove Township, advised the group that there is a strong movement afoot to rid the country of region­ alism. Locally, Kalamazoo and Calhoun Counties voted to put the Region 30 Planning Council on notice of their possible intent to cancel their memberships. On a national scale, Ohio and Indiana were considering withdrawing from their respective regions and about */s of the western states are considering withdrawal from regionalism. Mrs. Verus encouraged the public’s attendance at the local mass transit meetings, the next meeting scheduled for Wednesday, March 18, at 9:00 am. at the Hastings Fire Station. She also encouraged attendance at City Council meetings and Commissioners. Council meetings are the second and fourth Mondays of each month at the Hastings City Hall and the Commissioners meet the second and fourth Tuesdays at the Board of Commissioners Room of the County Annex Building. Pleased at the turnout for the first meeting, Mrs. Verus announced there would be future meetings, and they would be announced. Census Report Shows Growth, Change The U.S. Census Bureau's preliminary report on the 1980 census shows both population growth and a shift of population to rural areas. According to the report Barry County gained almost seven thousand residents in the past decade. Slight, but noticeable movement to the country may be seen in the statistics for most cities and villages. Hastings has 98 fewer residents than in 1970, according to the Census Bureau. That part of Freeport within Barry County lost 23 residents and Middleville lost 65 residents. Nearly every township in the county reported growth of at least several hundred residents. Population statewide is up four per cent, from almost 8,900,000 in 1970 to 9, 9.238,634 persons on April 1, 1980. Despite recent downward trends in housing, the number of housing units in the state is up more than 21 percent over 1970. Housing units in Barry County now number 19, 180 - up over 4,000 units in 10 years. Figures contained in the preliminury report are subject to change when final figures are released in a few months. Most changes, however, are expected to be in densely populated metropolitan areas.

Participation by per­ sonnel of the Hastings School System was required. Arrangements were made Start Transportation System with Robert miller, David Arnold and Thomas Amsterburg for the use of the Central School Auditorium as well as chairs, music stands and percussion in­ struments (drums, xylo­ phone, etc.) for the band. School custodial staff helped move the units and guided us in our efforts to provide comfortable and useable areas for performers and listeners. I commend and thank all the school personnel that assisted. The Concert was a success. In my opinion this type of community spirit should be encouraged and continued. Funding is necessary, how­ ever, for desireable person­ nel and equipment. A “YES" vote in the March 9th millage renewal vote for that funding is therefore a must. I urge voters to join me in this affirmative action. Sincerely, Harry Burke T-K Schools Plan K’garten Round-Up In an effort to provide a more meaningful school ex­ perience for children, the Thornapple-Keliogg Schools are having a Kindergarten Round-Up for parents of those entering kindergar­ ten in September. The Round-Up will be held March 17, at 7:30 p.m. in the McFall school multipurpose room. Purpose of the RoundUp is to acquaint parents with the Kindergarten pro­ gram, explain the. upcoming pre-school evaluation and make appointments for the evaluation. The pre-school evaluation will be conducted April 9,10, 14, and 15 and the hearing and vision evaluation on March 18, 19 and 27, in the West Elementary school multi-purpose room. In the past, much necessary infor­ Alien Deadline Extended mation has not been avail­ able to Kindergarten teach­ ers at the beginning of the school year. With this eval­ uation procedure we hope to supply valuable information to teachers who will use it to work with each child, giving more attention to individual need. This will not be used as a measure of whether or not a child will start nchool; in­ stead it is an attempt to pre­ pare school for the children. This evaluation will take approximately one hour. The Thornapple-Keliogg Schoo] hopes to evaluate such areas as: vision, hear­ ing, listening skills, speech, coordination, perceptual de­ velopment and general readiness level. Parents of prospective Kindergarten students should have received a Kin­ dergarten history sheet, health form and a develop­ mental information form that are required to be filled out. These should be return­ ed at the time of pre-kindergarten Round-Up in March or the evaluation in April. If you have a child who will be five years old on or before October 1, 1981 and did not receive these forms, please call the McFall School, at 795-3637.

Miller, Supervisor/Assessor, Baltimore To.wnship. On A More Limited Scale The handwriting should be already on the wall for the proposed county-wide transportation system. Not only is it not going to fly, it’s not going to drive, as it's presently being proposed. The proposal is far from clear, partly because until it is in operation no one really knows how it will work out. But basically, what is being proposed is this: -The state is buying new 20-passenger small buses for the county. For two years of operation, the stare is willing to subsidize the system so rt will coat the county government and local taxpayers nothing. -The system wil furnish transportation to four agencies which are now providing transportation to their clients. The system will have the capacity to jerve people not now being served, indutfing the general public. The four agendas which now operate their own systems are the Commisdon on Aging, EBI Breekthru, inc.. Mental Health, and the Hastings Chid Care Center. -After two years, the county wM presumably have to pick up part of the cost of operating the system. Baaed on the experience in other areas, this should range from 12 to 20 percent of the total operating cost. The rest wHI come from fares and state and federal funds. The ayarem can never expect to be self-supporting. ft to obvious that what is being proposed to considerably more than the four agencies now provide, h supposedly would meet what advocates claims are "urynet needs" at present. In other words, they think there are people who need public transportation, but don't have it. The advocates also dakn that a unified system would be more efficient, and cost less per trip than the four separate systems running at present. The four agencies now spend $236,820 on their transportation, according to figures compiled by Sam Marfia, county transportation coordinator. This Indudes $71,368 for the purchase and lease of vehicles during the year when the figures were gathered. So they actually spent $166,462 to operate their vehicles for a year. The system being proposed would have an operating budget of $406,818 the first year, and $467,840 the second. The operat­ ing expenses would more than double. Granted, the capacity would also be greatly increased, and people could ride who do not now have public transportation. The needs report submitred in the transportation study does not justify a sizable increase in the capacity of e public transport­ ation system. Five agencies reported a total average of 52 perrons per day who need to go somewhere for which there to no public . transportation. There to no indication that the system could be organized to accomodate them, or that they would, indeed, use public transportation in preference to the own present modes. The only sizable "unmet" need listed is an estimated 300 workers whom it is gutrasod might use public transportation. Obviously, if they are working, these people are providing their own means of getting to work. How do we know they would use a public system? Could a public system be made convenient enough for them to prefer it over the own vehicles or carpool arrangements? This figure, we feel is largely speculative. Really, the need for such an expanded public transport system has not been well documented. Its advocates are asking the county to set up a large, expensive system on the basis of very hazy facta. And being largely ignored is the fact that two years down the line, the piper must be paid. The county cannot afford to subsidize the system, under present financial conditions. Existing county agencies can't get the funds they think they need, much less take on new obligations. So the voters will probably be asked to approve a milage for the transportation system in two years. Fortunately, tbefj may be a better way. Simply ask the four agencies now running their own vans and buses to pool their resources. If they have 170,000to spend on vehicles, and $165,000 for operating, have them put it in a common fund and let one manager and central staff run It. If, Indeed, there are economies to gain that way, we can find out in a year's time, without any additional expenditure, and without a commitment to subsidize the system after the state sets it adrift. If this is not a wo.kable arrangement, return the vehicles to the four agencies after a year's time, and let them return to the status quo. A unified system could grow gradually, as new needs arise and must be met. If agency X needs 10 people transported daily, let agency X contibute its share and the central system will provide the service. No need to encumber the county to do it. Commuters could be served pn this basis, too. If, indeed, pooling is cheaper, then those riding to work should be glad to pay for the service. Charge them what it costs, and if it is reasonable, they'll use it. The taxpayers should not have to subsidize transportation for those who take home a paycheck. There you are. Take that $236,000, set up a limited system in 1981, and get it going. Then come back in a year's time and show how it is working. If it works, we'll support an expansion of it. And If it doesn't work, we haven't poured a mti'ion dollars down a rathole. Michigan Bell Announces Phone Assist For Deaf Michigan Bell began taking orders Monday for special Telecommunications Devices for the Deaf (TDDs) -portable typewriter-like machines which enable hearing-imparied individuals to communicate over telephone lines. Certified deaf or hearingimpaired persons now can obtain TDDs from Michigan Bell at a special rate approved by the Michigan Public Service Commission in accordance with recent legislation requiring tele­ phone companies to provide equipment at cost. The TDD available from Michigan Bell is used with standard telephones. To “talk," a person types a message that is converted to a tone-code and sent through telephone linesI to another TDD where it is visually displayed. Residential telephone customers with a_certified _______ hearing impairment can purchase a TDD outright from Michigan Bell or obtain it under a five-year lease­ purchase option, according to Richard L. Strauss, local Michigan Bell community relations manager. Direct purchase to a TDD will cost certified hearingimpaired customers $400.86 -Michigan Bell's actual cost of purchasing the unit. Under the lease-purchase agreement, the cost of the machine will be spread over five years-at a monthly rate of $6.68 -at the end of that time the customers will own the unit. Michigan Bell will handle maintenance of a TDD with no additional charges while the company retains ownership of the device. But. once a purchase is completed, the customers will be responsible for required maintenance, Strauss said. The TDDs will be available to other customers on a lease-only basis for $25 a month, plus a one-time service order and handling charge, he added. To order a TDD Michigan Bell, an individual’s house­ hold must have one-party residential telephone service with the company. Orders may be placed in person at any Michigan Bell Phone Center Store or phoned in to the customer's local telephone business office. The TDD offered by Mich­ igan Bell is “fully compatible" with other models in use today, includ­ ing specially-modified tele­ typewriters, he said. Processing orders for TDDs may take two weeks or longer, depending on the availability of the units. Customers will be notified when and where they can pick up their TDDs. Michigan Bell has a special TDD Customer Assistance Bureau-established in 1978 -which enables TDD users to conduct any type of telephone business with the company. The bureau's tollfree number is 1-800-482-3141. TDD users also have hour TDD Operator Service Bureau established last year by the Bell System. By dialing toll-free 1-800-855-1155, TDD users can reach a special operator who can give them phone numbers and help them place their calls. Red Cross Broadens Board The Barry County Chapter of the American Red Cross held a special board meeting, Wednesday, February 18th to the upcom­ ing budget. Donald Brehm, Chairman, and Calinda Munson, Executive Director, welcomed newly appointed board member, Rene Stockham, Patricia Murphy, Helen Barber and Ann Harris. They wer appointed in January when a decision was made to broaden the base of community representation on the Red Cross board. Rene Stockham is a member of USWA 6390 and is also Community Chairman of the AFL/CIO of Barry County. Helen Barber is a retired secretary from the Hastings Public Schools System and a volunteer office and Blood Drive member. Patricia Murphy is a member of Local 414 UAW. She also serves as recording Secretary of Barry County CAP Council. Ann Harris is currently a Community Service Representative of UAW • Local 138 and employed at Hastings Manufacturing Company. A discussion of the Chapter finances versus obligations followed. There is serious concern about reduction of funds from United Way during 1981. The Red Cross is a United Way Agency and receives most of its funds from United Way, but must receive a certain amount from a seperate Annual March Drive.

One month after receiving her diploma, Joni was a quadriplegic, the result of a tragic diving accident in the dark waters of Chesapeake Bay leaving her with a broken neck. In a fraction of a second, she had been transformed from a young woman absorbed in a variety of sports to one whose life was seemingly at an end. “JONI”, the World Wide Pictures film which opens Friday. March 18 at Central School's Auditorium in Hastings is a remarkable story of her struggle to build a useful life from her shattered dreams. Executive producer William F. Brown, producer Frank R. Jacobson, and director James F. Collier chose ar unknow actress to star in the title role of the film: Joni Eareekson, herself. “We discussed it vaguely at first,” Brown explained. “Joni has* this remarkable, effervescent personality, a sparkle that constantly flows from within. As we reviewed the professional actresses we thought might be right for the role, we couldn’t find one to match her personality.” Joni was flown to Holly­ wood for a screen test. The results were outstanding. In a powerful and dramatic film, the agonies and the achievements, the joys and the hopes are shared with the viewer. And the impact of its mesaage is made even more outstanding by the performance of the star of the film: Joni Eareekson portraying herself. Besides the March 18 showing in Hastings, the film will be shown Saturday, March 14 and Sunday, March 15. Showtimes are 7 p.m. nightly. For information about Discount tickets cal) 943-9292. "Joni" is a Billy Graham Evangelistic film. Church Women United Plan World Day of Prayer Barry County Church Women United will join millions of women world­ wide Friday, Mar. 6, in the 96th annual World Day of Prayer. Mrs. Gilbert Percy, Leach Lake, Hastings, said services will be held in six area churches Friday. Theme for 1981 srevices is “The Earth Is The Lord’i” Ecology and the spiritual legacy of Native American peoples are combined to form the elements of this year’s services. Patricia Brown, President of Michigan Church Women United, said the World Day of Prayer in 1981 is an, "Occasion for Christians to reflect upon the goodness of the earth and its resources, and to worship with one heart and mind as God’s people." Mrs. Brown was in Lansing last week to receive a copy of the Governor's executive declaration in observance of this year's services. The proclamation, read by Lt. Governor James Brickley, said in part, "In a world plaqued by tenuous relationships between nations, peoples and cultures, prayer services as a common bond and as a means of dedicating our­ selves to improving the quality of life throughout the world." He further urged people to, “Give appropriate recognition and suppmt to this effort designed to facilitate a moral and spirit­ ual reawakening in America and throughout the world. Services in the local area will be at the Grace Lutheran Church in Hastings at 9:80 ajn.; St. Ambrose Catholic Church in Delton at 1:00 p.m.; Leighton United Methodist Church in Middleville at 7:80 p.m.; First United Methodist Church in Wood­ land at 9:30 a.m.; Peace United Methodist Church in Nashville at 7:30 p.m. and at the Alto United Methodist Church at 1:00 p.m. The international service for 1981 was written by American Indian women members of Church Women United. Chocktaw, Hopi, Seneca, Sioux and Winnebago women participated, bringing, in Mrs. Percy’s words, “Sensitivity to nature, the earth and it’s creatures, and the rich spiritual heritage of the American Indian.** NOTICE The Hastings Area Board of Education has scheduled a special closed meeting following their regular public meeting on Tuesday, March 10, 1981.

Much4,1981, Page 8 Saxons Falter, Regain Poise, Win Big 73-48 Wayland High School's Wildcats came out fired-up Tuesday night in District basketball tourney action, giving the Hastings Saxons * a tough first half. But the Saxons regrouped in the third period to dominate the second half of play and win the first round, 73-48. Three minutes into the game Wayland led, 11-6 on the strength of good rebounding and poor Saxon ball handling. Turnovers, 21 of them, continued to haunt the local squad throughout the game, but remarkable displays of field goals shooting ability by Jim Shuster and Jon Joynson balanced the scale enabling the Saxons to build a slender 4 point lead at halftime. 32-28. The Saxons dominated third period play outscoring Wayland, 20-10 to dike a 12 point lead into the final quarter. A determined Wayland press kept the Saxons working but the lead steadily widened, at one time reaching 21 points. Though Hastings, had trouble handling the press, their advantage in size began telling under the net early in the game. “We had some turnover problems for the first time this season," said coach Wayne Brown, adding, "Well have to avoid them Friday and control the boards." Brown said his team was, “Tight as a banjo string i"to the game." They turned the ball over 8 times in the first half, 13 in the second. Wayland lost the ball 16 times. Saxon shooters made 34 of 65 shots from the floor, most coming from Shuster with 21 points and Joynson with 22 points. Dan Ahearn had 8 points, John Karpinski 6, Steve D?Icotto and Chris Hamilton got 4 each, Dann Howitt and Kevin Itebe had • 2 points.

High school or junior high wrestlers who fast or sweat off so-called “extra pounds” to make lower weight classes in wrestling competition are running immediate risks and may be vulnerable to future physical damage, says a Michigan State University faculty physician who specialises in athletic medicine. David Hough, M.D., director of athletic medicine at the MSU Clinical Center and assistant professor of. family practice in the MSU College of Human Medicine, cautions that drastic weight • loss begun three or four days before a wrestling' match often cuts into performance quality of the young wrestler and may encourage premature fatigue during competition. Dr. Hough for four years has served as one of the team physicians for MSlTs 24 intercollegiate athletic programs for men and women. He reports other risks from quick weight loss are: increased vulnerability to infection, increased vulernabflity to injury, and problems involving heat, such as heat exhaustion. “Although it is difficult to measure what quick weight loss does to muscles, long bones and the hormonal systems of the young athlete," he says, “today’s best wisdom indicates that drastic weight loss practices do incur unnecessary risks for the young, growing athlete.” Hough also warns against using fad diets, additives, and supplements-’they’re not only costly, but can lead to possible harm"--and applauds a program of good eating habits and daily exer­ cise to promote better health and more success in athletic endeavors. Topical Flouride Program Offered HHS Topical applications of flouride will again be offered to Barry County children this summer. Letters and application cards are being sent home with children in the Hastings, Nashville, Middleville, Woodland, Delton and area Parochial schools. Children who are now in the 2nd, 5th, and 8th grades are eligible to participate, as are children referred by their dentist and preschool children who are at least three years old. In addition to protecting the teeth against cavities, the program offers a valu­ able dental experience for children with no discomfort. Dental health education by clinic personnel includes the proper method of brushing teeth. The program is super­ vised by the Dental Division of the Michigan Department of Public Health. Parents are urged to meet the March 15 deadline date for enrollment since schedul­ ing areas depends on the number of children enrolled. In addition, materials and equipment need to be order ed in advance. The program will start in June. Because of low enroll­ ment last year, parents of Woodland School chren are asked to indicate preference for their child to participate in the Hastings, Middleville or Nashville programs. � https://barrycountyhistoryportal.org/files/original/19/508/HastingsBanner_1981-03-09.pdf be9eac8ebcdfa266cd5b92e540ec7ba3 PDF Text Text March 9,1981 The Hastings Banner Devoted to the Interests of Barry County Since 1858 Vol. 126, No. is.

The Price 20‘ City Faces Tax Increases By LARRY HAMP and HUGH FULLERTON Homeowners in the City of Hastings can expect a further increase of six to 15 percent in their real estate assessments. This is on top of the 6-7 percent raises which were reflected in the assessment notices mailed about 10 days ago. The increased assessment are apparently due to an error made in the County Equalization Office, and detected by state Tax Commission personnel. It was first brought to the attention of County Equalizaiton Director Phyllis Jackson in late February, but most city officials did not know until Friday or Saturday, March 6 Mayor Ivan Snyder issued a statement about noon Saturday noting that the "State of Michigan will likely seek a further substantial increase in the equalized values for residential property in the dty. If that should occur, it will be my recommendations to the City Council that the city vigorously review and oppose any unwarranted increase." Mrs. Jackson said that she was told by state officials that a city-wide increase averaging about 10 percent is needed, but that individual assessments could range from six percent to 15 percent. "We need between six and 15 percent, or roughly 10 percent on every city residence,” she said. “But 10 percent across-the-board is not honest assessing." With a school millage election taking place today, school officials were concerned that the news would adversely affect voters' decisions. Mrs. Jackson said that her office did a 2’/i year sales study of property values in Hastings and “a wrong piece of information (,Jt worked into our figures." “I know I've made an error and (City Assessor) Mike Payne has made an oversight," Mrs. Jackson said. "Payne and I tried to get the figures in order and we couldn't she said. “Hastings assessment notices had already gone out.. Payne knew there was a problem but we thought we could handle it. Last Tuesday, we couldn't."

Two other youth programs, the Youth Conservat ion and Community Improvement Project and the Youth Employment and Training Program, remain intact. Their -budgets, $90,000.00 and $611,000.00 respectively, generate about 20 percent to Barry County. Calhoun County’s share of approximately 80 percent is due to the Barry-Calhoun population ratio." Those programs will not be funded in 1982. but part of the money will be put into Title HB and C for fiscal year 82 to address the youth employment situation. Whiie Martinoff appreci­ ates what the President is trying to do, he does not appreciate the rationale. Title VI money was trigger­ ed to 1976 for high unem­ ployment' areas where 6.1 percent of the people had to be unemployed to qualify for the money. At that time unemployment ran at 11 percent. It now exceeds 14 percent. Martinoff said he believes the private sector should 1>e employers, not government­ al agencies. But in Michigan unemployment is still in­ creasing. "Who will take up the slack, or will these people end up on relief and unemployment?" Martinoff queried. "At least on CETA, the person is employed, pays taxes and recycles the money. On relief or unem­ ployment insurance, it’s a one way street - a drag on -----------------the tax base .- avJ1FCV111 someone has to pay,” said Marinoff. Because of funding cut­ backs, many agencies will no longer be able to provide services they now give as there will be no CETA staff available. The problem will affect service agencies such as day care centers and United Way agencies. According to Martinoff, "Barry County’s loss for fiscal year *82 is $652,032. That's money paid in wages, fringe benefits, rent and food.” Martinoff continued, adding, “The most conser­ vative economists say every dollar spent in the commu­ nity generates $4.00 in busi­ ness - so for Barry County, the loss of $652,032 could mean $2.5 million loss to the community. Combined loss to Barry aqd Calhoun Coun­ ties is of great consequence since the total loss in bene­ fits amounts to about $12 million dollars. “If the economy turns around and booms, resulting in a three or four percent unemployment rate, CETA isn’t needed, but with the present 14 percent unem­ ployment figure. I don’t think a greater burden on welfare or unemployment insurance is needed - it just raises the indebtedness of the State of Michigan," said Martinoff. “A more accurate deter­ mination of the affect on. Barry County can be made after March 10, when con­ gress makes a final deter­ mination of cuts." but he said he was fairly sure that the President would get the cuts requested,”* Martinoff concluded.

James Brickiey attached himself and the state Republican Party firmly to President Reagan's coattails in his address Saturday evening to Barry County Republicans. He spoke at the party’s annual Lincoln Day Banquet at Leason Sharpe Hall. Brickiey said "It took a Republican President to stand up and say...’ Govern­ ment can become part of the problem.' " Brickiey said that 50 percent of the American people receive a "substantial grant" from government, in the form of jobs, aid of some kind, work in defense industries, etc. With so Vikings Not Awesome, But Do The Job, 52-49 “We’ve won five District titles in eight years and this was the toughest of them all," said Lakewood Viking basketball coach Rollie Krauss. He said the Vikings win over Hastings in Class B District play at Wayland. “Took a tremendous effort against a fine team.-" Lake­ wood moves on to Regional action at Gerald R. Ford field House in Grand Rapids, Wednesday night at 8:30 p.m. Lakewood, now 22-0 on the season, has put together their third district champ­ ionship in as many years. L*d by senior Jeff Heide, the Vikes jumped out to a good lead early in Friday night's game. Hastings seemed unable to get an attack in gear before the second half, missing a large percentage of early shots from the floor. Considering the close finish, the missed shots were probably the difference in the game. Early in the first period Hastings trailed the Vikings 11-7, but had moved to within two, 13-11. by the second period. Jon Joynson tied it early in the second dropping two free throws. The game slowed momentarily, then Lake­ wood opened a 19-13 lead and Saxon coach Wayne Brown called time-out. A short Hastings hot streak began with John Karpinski's long shot from the floor, followed by a steal resulting in two more points. The streak cooled when many dependent people on government spending, he said, "one would wonder if it would ever be possible to reserve course." The lieutenant governor, who is often mentioned as a candidate to succeed Gov. William Milliken, said that he and the governor favor a reduction in federal spending, even though “Michigan can quarrel with the cuts ’’ He said that the state “is in the worst kind of squeeze," and “it's not fun for our Republican legislators" who are working fpr tax relief. He blamed the Democrats in Lansing for’ "resisting all attempts at tax relief." Brickiey, who has spent a large part of his life in public service, said that the federal government has been cutting the number of federal employees, but increasing the programs under which it sends various kinds of aid to the states. As a result, he said, the state have to increase their payrolls to administer the programs begun by the federal government. Brickiey paid special tribute to State Rep.

Heide said, believes Lakewood will go off handsomely early when Shuster got into foul trouble and could not find the hoop. Their problems continued into the third period when shot after shot missed the bucket. Great rebounding and good defense kept Hastings close enough to mount a fourth quarter comeback. Trailing 40-30, the Saxons surged to within two on four unanswered baskets, then Lakewood called time leading 42-40. When the ball went into play. Lakewood's Paul Durkee drove for two points. Seconds later, Eric Bitner gave the Vikes a six point advantage. A pass from Heide to Marks put Lakewood up 48-41 with a minutes and a half to go.

Daniel Gibson. ah Alma College sophomore from Hastings, has been appointed resident assistant (R.A.) at the college for the Fall Term 1981, according to Dr. Anand Dyal-Chand, dean of students. Dr. DyalChand describes the R.A.’s job as a 'demanding job, a key position and one of the pivotal para-professional positions on campus." "Resident assistants are educators in their own right, as well as counselors, facili­ tators and programmers. Their position is one of leadership and responsibil­ ity in which they perform two main functions. In one, they are interpreters of institutional policies and concerns to stpdents and in the other, they bring to the institution's attention the students* needs and con- cerns." Alma's resident assistants advise other students in their respective residence hall corridors, communicate the college's policies and regulations, and provide overall supervision. They are carefully select­ ed upperclassmen who are chosen through a series of application, recommenda­ tions and interviews. Among the qualities that are looked for in choosing a resident assistant are experience in leadership, outgoing person­ ality. and experience in working with others.. Dan, a 1979 graduate of Hastings High School, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Gibson, 212 W. Clinton, Has­ tings. He is majoring in mathematics at Alma Col­ lege. Dan will be a resident assistant in Bruske Hall. Since its inception fifty years ago, the Veterans Administration hospital network has grown from 54 hospitals to 172 medical centers.

March 9,1981, Page 4 EDITORIAL Why Was It So Hard to Find Out Assessment Facts? By HUGH FULLERTON Okay, somebody goofed. Apparently, Phyllis Jackson, the relatively new county equalization director, made a clerical error which distorted residential property assess­ ments in Hastings. Mrs. Jackson freely admitted to 17(6 Banner that she made the error. Naturally, she feels badly about it. People are likely to be unhappy with their final assessments, and her office takes a lot of heat anyway. But mistakes do happen. What is harder to understand is why it took so long for the word to get around that a mistake had been made, and why many local officials seemed to reluctant to talk about it. Actually, Mrs. Jackson was very frank and open with The Banner when we finally were able to contact her. Other local officials were a lot less frank. According to a State Tax Commission official, the county equalization office was ' told two weeks ago that state figures did not agree with county ones, and c.ty property was apparently under-assessed. Mrs. Jackson said she told City Assessor Mike Payne about it the day after she found out. But Mayor Ivan Snyder says he did not know of the error until Friday afternoon, March 6. And it took until noon Saturday before the mayor had a statement for the media. And he was reluctant to say much beyond that rather vague statement. Ken Radant, chairman of the county commissioners, said he heard about the problem about 6:30 p.m. Friday. City Attorney Richard Shaw didn't know until 9 a.m. Saturday. Several city councilmen didn't know about it until they heard of it from Banner staff members Saturday morning and early afternoon. But even some of those who knew didn't want to talk about it. Fear of hurting the chances of the school rnillage, which went before the voters today, may have been part of the reason. But School Superintendent Richard Guenther said he would rather have had the information out early, to allow voters to digest and understand it before going to the polls. This view is consistent, in our experience, with the Hastings schools' open information practices. We heard various figures on increases in the assessments bandied about, but neither the mayor nor the assessor would verify or deny them. We find the mayor's phrase "substantial increases" more frightening than the actual figures of six to 16 percent. Why the reluctance to present wha* know­ ledge is available? It’s a classic example of public officials looking worse by holding back information, than they would if fun disclosure were made. Keeping facts underground just increeses rumors, and makes citizens more nervous. A real irony is the fact that the original mistake was not made by a city official or employee. The city and the schools had more to, fear from withholding information, or minimizing the problem, than by just disclosing everything known to this point. We hope that the officials involved learn from experience and realize it to in the interests of better government that the people be told as much as possible about what is happening. An informed citizenry can cope with facts. An uniformed citizenry to much likely to fear the unknown. MICHIGAN MIRROR Milliken See* Federal Cut* As Answer for Economy By WARREN M. HOYT Governor William G. Millikan has declared Michigan'* beat hope of getting out of economic difficulties i» for Preaident Reagan’a tax and budget-cutting plana to be enacted by Congress. Speaking upon hto return from meeting with the nation's governors end the President, Milliken said Congress just "chip­ ping away" at the proposals wffl delay the state's economic recovery. "The President intends fully to go ahead . with his program and I believe in it. If there to a better plan, let's hear it," he said. Upon Reagan's revealing of the plan before a joint session of Congress, there were concerns from some Michigan officials that the proposals could hurt several state programs, especially the mass transit plan for the Detroit area. But Milliken said the transportation plan is still alive under some circumstances. He declined to name those .circumstances, however. The governor also said urban develop­ ment action grants "still have sofne flexibility." "The best thing for Michigan to to have the President's program suceed, so that we can get the jobs in this state, and bring down the high inflation and interest rates," Milliken said. He added the Presidon's program to a comprehensive approach, but if opponents begin to chip away at the program, that will take time and hurt to ability to help the state. On another front. State Superintendent of Public Instruction Phillip Runkel said the proposed education budget cuts by the President will significantly hurt education quality in Michigan, especially when viewed in light of state budget cuts forced by the economic downturn. Runkel said he has asked U.S. Secretary of Education Terral Bell to give Michigan spacial consideration and added the secretary was very receptive to Michigan problems. Runkel said the statements special consideration because the economic . situation Is not duplicated anywhere else in ..the country. The suite's top school administrator said he was particularly concerned about the impact the cutbacks will have on urban schools, as funds are not only cut 20 percent across the board but are also changed for a system of targeting the funds to specific programs (such as vocational education, the educationally disadvantaged, etc.) to one of block grams. Because urban schools receive more benefit from many of the targeted programs, they will probably be hurt more by the cuts, he said. The 20 percent cut will cost K-12 schools $46.4 mMon and public and private colleges would lose $110 million. a—._____ ... _ . are special education loainfl”? m»on and Umtef R^kX^dte “ie are reduced in th.

For Sadie Hurless By VICTOR SISSON From a chance meeting of a boy and girl at a gathering of a Literary Society in the Wiltshire Center School house in Van Wert County, Ohio, began an ardent courtship lasting for a year and ended in marriage of the couple on March 13. 1899, the 18th birthday of the birds. Oscar Hurless, the groom, was bom in Van Wert Co., May 18,1878, and the bride, Sadie Myers, was boro in Wren in the same county, on March 13, 1881. Sadie was one of a family of six children. When she was nine months old she went to live with her grandmother and continued to live with her until her marriage. Mr. and Mrs. Hurless moved to Hastings in 1917 and lived in the city until July of 19*73 when faffing health made it impossible for them to keep their home and they entei-ed Sunset Acres Nursing Home on Lawrence Road. Mr.. Hurless died April 23,1975 and she is still a resident at the home. The Hurlesses had four children; Besslie Pearl, who died in 1904 at the age of four years, Othol, who died in 1937 at the age of 54, and Mrs Leon (Ruth) West and Kenneth, both of whom live in the Hastings area. Mr. and Mrs. Hurless were both stalwart Christians. Mr. Hurless gave his heart to the Lord at the age of 22 and was a faithful follower for the rest of his Mrs. Ethel Boze (left] pins the traditional corsage oa her daughter Star prior to the beginning of the Senior Tea, annually hosted by the Hastings Women's Club to honor senior girls and their mothers. The tea was held Friday, March 6, at Leason Sharpe Memorial Hall and included a tnunerous pro­ gram, style show and re­ freshments. life. When asked a number of years ago, when she became a Christian, Sadie smilingly replied, “when I was 13, I remember how happy I was and I’ve been happy every since.” And all who have known her know she was a vibrant Christian. They were faithful church attendants and seldom missed an opportunity to give their testimony, telling of God’s wonderful mercy to ■ them and of their love for Him. On their 67th wedding anniversary on March 18, 1966, the morning service at Grace Wesleyan Church where they were members, the service was largely given over to honoring this couple and Rev. Howard _ Rogers, jjasUirther at the w «»<j&ned the • chretficiBy, awrnarrying anew Oscar and Sadie "forever." She always said they did not “celebrate" their birthdays and anniversaries, they “observed them." And on Friday, March 13, 1981, Sadie Hurless will observe her 100th birthday and also the 82nd Anniversary of her marriage to Oscar Hurless. Besides the son and daughter, who have both been in Florida for the winter and were to come home a little earlier this year to be with their mother on this memorable occasion, Sadie has eight grandchild­ ren, 24 great grandchildren and 15 great great grand­ children.

A change of policy within the DOT will make it possible for Barry to keep its state-owned vans, and continue to receive the $5,000 per year subsidy per vehicle which the, county gets from the state to help pay operating costs. Rep. Don Gilmer got this information from Frank DeRose, who is head of the Bus Transportation Unit of the DOT, in a conference this week. Gilmer will be explaining the sit uaiton next week when he meets with the Local Transporation Coordinating Council on Wednesday. March 18. Gilmer said that he met with DeRose to discuss alternatives to a full county public system after he received numerous phone calls from Barry County constituents, mostly opposing a county system. “There has to be another way than going with a full county public system," Gilmer told The Banner. But, he continued, “We’ve got to continue to provide elderly and handicapped transportation." Barry County, through the Commission on Aging, runs a fleet of vehicles to provide transportation primarily for the elderly. The state DOT had told the COA that the vans which it now provides, and the subsidy to help run them, would be withdrawn unless the county sets up a fullscale, count y-wide system of public transportation. The Local Transportation Coordinating Council was directed by the county commissioners to recommend a plan for such a system. But the council has been split over whether such a system is even needed. One of the objections to the county system is the fact that after the initial two years, local funding would have to be provided for part of the operating costs. The LTCC was told recently that the county can be expected to put up 12 to 20 percent of the costs of running the system. The change in DOT policy, Gilmer said, is partially because state officials do not expect that the state will have the funds to provide the promised level of subsid­ ies after two years. Instead of the 50% that state ' officials have been saying the state will provide, "there is no likelihood of more than one-third funding" from the state, Gilmer said. This would substantially increase the financial load on the county after the second year of operation. Gilmer said that as far as he can ascertain, the proposed county public transportation system is “an overwhelmingly unpopular program" in Ban7 County. Barry County Board of Commissioners Chairman Ken Radant said Tuesday the county board has not received any official recommendations from the Local Transportation Coordinating Council. Furthermore, “The Board has received no papers from the state, nor is anyone breathing down our necks to...officiaJly commit to any­ thing," Radant added. “The Barry County Board of Commissioners has not acted on implementing a transportation system," Randant added. “The Board will not act until it has completely and independent­ ly studied this issue.” "When the The Hastings RmriAH 1 Gray’Marfia Air D <*, | I| | C I Transport Differences Devoted to the Interests of Barry County Since 1858 Hastings, Michigan Vol. 126, No, 19, Wednesday, March 11,1981 Panel To Meet Thursday Board Appoints Advisory Committee By LARRY HAMP Hastings school board met Tuesday evening at the Junior High School to handle routine business, thank the public for supporting the rniilage continuation, and appoint a special Advisory Committee of 33 to help guage public opinion and advise on tax questions.

Barry County Election Results Available will have to wait 90 days before they can take out new recall petitions, and the recall could not take place until the official has been in office six full months, according to State information. Third target of the recall effort was Councilman Swift, who did not seek re-election. Three other elected officials still Is still face recall. They are Mayor J Steve Secor, Pat Hickey and John French, whose terms do not expire until next year. Mrs. Morgan stated the recall drive began* because the council did not acknowledge, recognize or consider the opinion of the people when passing zoning ordinance spurring action by those seeking recall. Councilman John French told The Banner the process of appealing voiolations to the zoning ordinance differs from that which Mrs. Morgan outlined in a previous article in The Banner. If a person wants to build something, add a room, etc. the first step is to present the plans to the Zoning Administrator. If there is no violation of the Zoning Ordinance, the permission is granted. If there is a problem according toFrench, the first step is to appeal to the Planning Commission. Failing there , the person can appeal to the Zoning Board of Appeals, and still has a final appeal to the Village Council if his appeal fails with the Zoning Board of Appeals. French also wished to make it clear the Village Council did not pass the Zoning Ordinance . without public input at the Feb. 9 meeting. The Council placed the motion on the floor to adopt the ordinance and it was properly seconded. A discussion of about 1 ’/» hours followed, where citizens voiced their opinions. At that point, Councilman Ron Taylor made a motion to table the ^jote but ,th^_motion died for lack of support. The Council then voted on the ordinance, passing it with a 5-1 vote, (with the mayor voting only in case of tie). Taylor cast the only negative vote. In Nashville, Village Clerk Susan Corkwell said write-in votes caused confusion when incumbent Forrest Babcock and newcomer Linda Elaine Frith won clear-out victories. The third school board sea! remained up in the air as officials wrestled with an octopus-Write-in candidate Robert Fueri Jr. had his name spelled out 28 different ways by those hoping to elect him. Because a decision had to be made by the board of canvassers as to which ballots were good, Fueri and Lonny Kienulske were tied at 77 votes each. The board decided late Tuesday afternoon Robert Fueri Jr. and 27 other renditions of the nahie were one and the same, giving Fueri a 107-77 vote edge over Kienutske. One thousand voters are registered in Nashville, only 208 voted, according to Corkwell. Council Handles Routine Business City fathers met Monday night to handle routine city affairs and discuss recent news a tax increase looms for city property owners. Officials learned late last week increased local assessments are likely. An error in the county equalization office caused City Assessor Mike Payne to mail city assessments incorrect by an average 7.4 percent. (See related story elsewhere in today's Banner). Just before Monday's meeting. Mayor Snyder officially proclaimed Girl Scout Week, signing a proclamation to that effect in the presence of 10 girls from Troop 774. Most committees made no reports Monday, but council­ woman Mary Lou Gray took exception to remarks about a proposed county mass transit system made by director of the transit study, Sam Marfia. Gray said she believed implementation of the proposed system would discriminate against the elderly and cost taxpayers too much. (See related story elsewhere in today’s Banner.) A report from city Police Chief William Brandt advised city fathers a special test of the city tornado warning siren will be conducted in cooperation with National Tornado Safety Week at 1:30 p.m. Mar. 19. Hastings radio station WBCH will participate in the tests. Chief Brandt said local police handled two burglaries, 21 larcenies, three cases of malicious destruction over $100 and made 29 arrests, six for other departments. The council also gave approval to a YMCA request for use of Bob King Park for a winter softball tournament.

When the County is put under a TORNADO WARNING by the Weather Bureau, the siren will be blown for 6 minutes. At this time you should prepare to take cover and listen to WBCH radio for further developments. On an actual sighting in the Barry County area by either law enforcement personnel, a trained observer or a confirmed citizen sighting, the siren will be blown again for as long as needed. For the area north and south of the central business district, Hastings City Police patrol vehicles will move slowly through the areas with the siren on "wail” to alert residents. By LARRY HAMP County Transportation Cordinator Sam Marfia crossed verbal swords with councilwoman Mary Lou Gray and with citizens Monday night over the issue of a county wide mass transit system. Marfia. who’s study­ ing four possible transit systems for the county said there's misunderstanding as to proposals before the Local Transportation Coordinat­ ing Council (LTCC). Marfia encouraged people to attend LTCC SESSIONS. But Aiderman Frank Campbel] set the tone for remarks directed to Marfia, saying, "Why aren't the meetings at night when working people can attend?” Earlier, reporting for the Parks, Recreation and Insurance Committee, Gray noted local media had reported approval of items for the county transit study group. She stressed those items were approved only by the Transportation Council, not by City Council. Gray said she has, "Received many complaints from the elderly." She repeated her belief that the system will discriminate against the old. She noted, “Those who ride now for a minimal fee or free, would have to pay more," with a fixed rate system. She said the proposed budget for the transportation system, “Is not realistic." Gray also noted a seating shortage at the last LTCC meeting and said she has arranged with the cooperation of Fire Chief Don Sothard for adequate seating at future meetings. Marfia said estimates of what sums might be necessary to run a county system at the end of a two-year iemonstration program are, “Premature." He said other systems in the state require tax money totalling only, “Twenty to thirty percent of their operating costs." Asked, “Twenty percent of what-one million dollars, 2 million dollars?", Marfia replied, “Well, that would make for a really good transportation system." Marfia said proposed budgets are purely tentative. Another citizen said local people will be required to provide $750,000 to suppor: the system when state funding ends. Marfia said his budget, “Would not reflect your figures." Marfia said he favors a flex system at this point. Such a program would mean driving off main transport routes to pick up riders within short distance of the routes. "These pickups would have to be arranged in advance.” he added, saying under the system busses would not make special runs for a single lider. "Dial-A-Ride system are inefficient," Marfia said. Gray noted recent remarks by . Governor William Milliken indicating his belief public transportation rates have to rise 40 to 50 percent soon. Gray said major transport systems all over the nation are in serious difficulty because government subsidies are no longer available. Questions rose about control of the proposed system and City Attorney Richard Shaw said if the city and county decided to cooperate on a transit system, they'll set up an inter-local agreement as provided by state law. Shaw noted the city and county have a joint airport committee that’s appointed. The inter-local transit agency would bp answerable to elected officials, Shaw said. Such an agency could not levy additional taxes for the proposed system, but, Shaw continued. city officials could do so -if they chose. Mayor Snyder noted a World War II era bus system had failed in Hastings. “They went broke - nobody rode them even then," he said. The Mayor added the county has never asked whether the city wanted anything to do with the system. He said there has, "Been no approach to the dty, but now Mrs. Gray is on the (transport) committee and we’re getting some feed­ back."

Over 100 Michigan farmers, representing the Michigan Farm Bureau and county Farm Bureaus throughout the state, will leave Detroit on March 31 to take pert in 'he organization's annual Washington Legislative Seminar. The group plans to meet Michigan congressmen and representatives of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. They are expected to urge support for economic plan and to outline issues of concern to Michigan farmers. “For several year.s Farm Bureau policy has gone on record in support of an economic package to fight inflation and increase productivity through reduction in federal spending, tax cuts and regulatory relief for business and industry," says Elton R. Smith, president of the Michigan Farm Bureau. "We will not t urn away from this policy stand when our industry is asked to make The Pennock Hospital Auxil­ iary has recently provided three items of equipment for the hospital.

Hastings School District voters Monday approved the renewal of the 18.51 mills school operating millage by a vote of 1.403 to 1,193. This is a plurality of 54 percent. The turnout of nearly 2.660 votes is considered high for a school election. Superintendent Richard Guenther estimated that it was about the fourth highest turnout in the school district’s history. Those who voted in Hastings gave the millage tne margin it needed to win. 1,251 to 1,079. Pleasant view area voters rejected the millage by a narrow margin, 82 to 80. with three ballots spoiled. Absentee voters approved the millage handily, 70 to 32. School Superintendent Richard Guenther said that school officials are “very grateful" to the voters for approving the renewal. But he called the relatively narrow margin, "very sobering." "Folks are saying we’ll go along, but this is it," he said.The news that a mistake had been made in Hastings property assessments srobably lost some votes for the millage, Guenther said. f Anyone who was undecided, and living in the city, probably voted against the millage, he thought. The news broke on Saturday, less than two days before the election. A special study committee is to meet Thursday evening to recommend what move, if any. should be made to seek more operating funds for the schools. Schools officials have said that they might seek an additional operating millage, which, if passed, would enable the schools to restore some of the programs which were cut in the severe budget reductions of last year. Privately, however, officials are admitting that a 54 percent vote in favor of a millage renewal makes it seem unlikely that voters would approve any increase in operating millage. Approval of the millage renewal Monday means that the schools can operate next year on the same level as the current year, with modest amounts available for supplies and maintenance, continued operation of the high school library, and lease-purchase of muchneeded new school buses.

Betty Smith - Reporter Satisfaction Rising for Funeral Service Consumer satisfaction with funeral service continues to rise, David C. Wren of Leonard-Osgood & Wren announced early this week. Results of a nation­ wide survey conducted by the International Order of the Golden Rule, an affiliation of more than 1100 funeral directors, indicate that an overwhelming 98.1% of consumers responding to the survey were satisfied with the funeral service they had received. Dale Rollings, executive director of the order, explained Wren received the results as Hastings* exclusive member of the organization. The survey is conducted on an ongoing basis from lists of families recently served. The lists are sent by members to the headquart­ ers in Springfield, Illinois. The association contacted 108,934 families in 1980. Of the 48,534 families who answered, 47,598 responded favorably. These statistics show members of the Oder of the Golden Rule have responded t o t hr personal needs of each family while keeping prices at acceptable levels. "I believe the Order's service contacting families allows funeral directors and client to resolve any misunderstandings and ensure quality of service unsurpassed by an other profession or industry." Any criticism received during the survey is reported to the funeral director t he same day so any misunderstanding can be Fresh peas strould squeak when the pods are rubbed to­ gether.

Oil Recycling Program Speeds Ahead Five Michigan cities have been targeted as regional renters for a statewide used oil recycling program announced Dave Jasperse, oil recycling program coordinator for the West Michigan Environmental Action Council (WMEAC). Regional workshops will beheld throughout March in GrandRapids, Saginaw, Grayling, Ann Arbor and Marquette to help launch a program which could save Michigan -t least one million gallons of oil each year by 1984. “The program is geared for the do-it-yourself oil changer.” Jasperse said. "Individuals who change their own motor oil dump over 20 million gallons of reusable crankcase oil into landfills, sewers, and empty lots. This equals 400,000 barrels of oil that are thrown away each year. "We hope to encourage mot oris* s . <> slop polluting ground and surface water and star c^iM-rving our non-renewable energy resources." he added. The program involves communities in 26 counties • attached list), will pr-• oil recycling and establish conveniently located used oil collection sites throughout Michigan. Service stations, garages, car dealerships and other suitable locations will serve as collection centers. Jasperse said he expects the program to recycle more t han 200,000 gallons of used oil in its first year. Barry County is among those participating in the program. The statewide program is co-sponsored by WMEAC. the Michigan Energy Administration and the Cooperative Extension Service. It's modelled after a Kent County program initiated by WMEAC members in 1979. Anyone interested in help­ ing set up a used oil recycling program in their community (outside of Kent County) should contact Dave Jasperse at WMEAC, 616-451-3051. or their county's Cooperative Extension Service agent.

Mirth 11,1981, j EDITORIAL |^~ Public Notices Both Yes and No Voters SI.'uQ.lO Deserve Commendation Hastings School District voters are to be congratulated--both those who voted for, and against the school millage renewal. Obviously, common sense dictated that the millage should pass. Some may have thought the amount should be trimmed, or even increase^. But it would have been unthinkable for the Hastings schools to consider opening next fall without the basic operating millage. There was a substantial vote against the millage-nearly 1,200 votes. In a district like Hastings, that is a large protest vote.$ And protest vote is what we think it is. People who in large part are protesting not against the Hastings schools, but against inflation, the weak economy, and the state tax structure. Unfortunately, a school millage election is one of the few ways they can register their protest. Enough of them protested to send a clear message -- no school millage increase should be sought this year. So we have to command , :e "no" voters for carrying that message to school officials. If they had gone with the tide and voted for the millage -how­ ever unenthusiastically-the message would not have been clear. Let's face it, a 54 percent vote is not a very strong endorsement of the school millage. The millage passed by only 210 votes. That means if 106 people had voted the other way, it would have been defeated. So both the "yes" and "no voters are to be thanked. The yeas carried the day, as they should. But the nays made themselves heard, as well. The message is worth heeding.

FULLERTON Banner Publisher The Republican Lincoln Day Banquet, which we attended Saturday evening, was perhaps the most enjoyable one we remember. The speaker, Lt. Gov. James Brickley, was pleasant but had nothing startling to say. We have heard him in several occasions in the past year, and he's always impressive. He sounds more conservative than Gov. William Milliken, and that's certainly what Barry County folks wanted to hear. Brickley is supposedly in line to run for governor if Milliken decides to step down, as has been rumored. We predict that he'll find a lot of support in the areas which went strongly for Reagan in November. The man seems human, too. We have observed Milliken many times, and he's almost too slick. Perhaps a decade in the governor’s office has polished him too much. It's almost as if every phrase he utters is carefully chosen to avoid offense, but the sincerity has worn thin. Brickley, on the other hand, seemed to be genuinely enjoying rubbing elbows with small-town folks in a church hall. We like that. The evening's events were enjoyable in a number of other ways. The county Republicans paid special tribute to Mary Lamb and Elizabeth Underwood, two fine ladies who have worked very hard in party • causes. They were both genuinely surprised. f iiEMU'.f. at 10:30 aan.. in the probate courtroom. Hi-ti.-.g. Mhlug.! Hon Richard N Lnughnn.

Harry County Clerk 3 16 �BPW, Bosses Hear About Nuclear By MARY LOU GRAY A record group was in attendance Tuesday. March 10. for the Hastings Business and Professional Women’s Annual Boss/ Guest Night held at the Hastings Moose Lodge. An “attitude adjustment hour" prefaced the sumptuous roast beef dinner and specially planned program. Timely table decorations in St. Patrick’s Day green graced the table and specially crocheted nut chips in the Club's colors of green and yellow accented the decor. Members and guests were welcomed by Club President Betty Purgiel and guests were introduced. Mary Pennock, a past B.P.W. President and General Chairman for the evening, introduced the featured speaker for the evening. Dean Sible, District Public Affairs Supervisor for Consumers Power Company. Sible first went to work for Consumers Power as a meter reader in 1948 and today is their Public Affairs Supervisor, a position he has held since 1976. He has been active in many civic and fraternal organizations and is an avid sportsman, • • enjoying golf, hunting and fishing, Thc m « *'*"• topic “ -r of c Sible .lu.’s presentation was nuclear power. He explained how a nuclear power plant works, Citing that it doesn't burn an open flame, Sible said that in a central or base load plant, uranium atoms are split, splitting in a reactor vessel causing heat. Jn the controlled chain reaction manner, the billions of atoms that are split are so microscopic that billions could be contained on the head of a pin. Touching on why nuclear power is desirable, Sible said the increase in power demand over the past ten years has been tremendous and nuclear power is one source of generating electricity economically to serve the people of Michigan for 30 to 40 years, until newer techniques can take over and take up the slack. He said it is the responsibility of the energy providers to supply reliable, inexpensive electric to consumers. Other fuels can provide energy, such as coal, oil, natural gas, solar, wind, biomass, bacteria, and a new technique which involves changing the depth of the ocean. These, however, are intermittant suppliers and the goal is to Find a source of supply that can produce energy 24 hours a day. Addressing tht reasons for why we should be “think­ ing nuclear,” Sible said that one of the biggest reasons was for t he sake of reducing <>ur reliance of foreign supply. Of course, economy had to be taken into consideration and protecting our environment to preserve fossil fuels such as coal, for our future generations, was a large consideration. Nuclear power is clean while coal, oil and natural gas have by-products that polute the air. Another great advantage to nuclear power is that in the accumulated 420 years of nuclear power experience by the various plants in operation in the United States, there has been no injury or death to any employee al a nuclear plant, which, in itself, is impressive, said Sible. "There’s a fear, and I understand that far, that nuclear power plants won’t operate as they're supposed to," said Sible," but we must balance the risks against the benefits, since nuclear power has more potential than other forms of energy." Nuclear waste and the disposal of nuclear waste is a great consideration and proper storage is a fear among people. However, Sible continued, this form of waste has been around since World War II days, citing 33 times more waste results from military and medical fields than from the nuclear hydro power only provides a new service center in minute amount of power and Hastings.

By By 1985, if deregulation is the year 2000. there will be done slowly, the average 113 million people, requiring would increase to betwe'n 125 to 150 quads of energy. $1,200.00 and $1,300.00.

Or shall we continue to build nuclear plants, add some radiation to the already existing radiation in the atmostphere and leave storage to future generations?" Sible conclud­ ed. stating, “the answer must be left to a democratic society." A questions and answer period followed. The question of hydro-power was raised by B.P.W. member Laura Mann.

PLAZA TOWERS Springfield, MO 65804 Tourism Record High in 1980 Tourists in Michigan spent a record $9.1 billion in 1980 and in the process may have established a travel trend which will keep the state’s tourism industry healthy for years to come, reports Automobile Club of Michigan. “While sagging car sales, inflation and unemployment caused serious problems for much of the state’s economy, those same factors aided tourism revenues as many vacationers eliminated more expensive long-distance trips to vacation in Michigan,’’ stated Auto Club Touring Manager Joseph Ratke. "The trend to closer-to-home vacations was a year-long occurrence and resulted in Auto Club members requesting 9 percent more travel information on Michigan destinations than in 1979," said Ratke. He added that routings to such popular destinations as Florida and Ontario, Canada were down in 1980 compared with the previous year. In all. tourism expei. ditures in Michigan increased by $700 million, or 8 percent, over 1979. "Although inflation accounted for much of the increased spending, many Michigan tourism attractions had a banner year,’’ Ratke explained. The Traverse City are* recorded its best year ever with tourism business up nearly 12 percent over the previous year. Business also was up on Mackinac Island, where the Grand Hotel had a record 95 percent average occupancy rate in 1980. Two popular Frankenmuth restaurants reported business up 18 percent over 1979 while the Kellogg Bird Sanctuary had newly 15 percent more visitors last year. “While one segment of the vacationing public showed no reluctance to spend increased dollars for quality vacation destinations, another segment sought ways to keep vacation expensesto a minimum," Ratke said. "One-day, low-cost family outings to beaches, parks and other recreational areas increased in popularity as budget-minded travelers looked for alternatives to more elaborate vacations," he added. Detroit's Belle Isle, which has no admission fee, attracted more than nine million persons last year, one million more than the year before. Oakland County parks attendance climbed 12 percent with more than one million visitors. Michigan's Department of Natural Resources reported a 3 percent drop in attendance in 1980, but officials blamed the wet summer-not the economy-for the decline. It rained 12 of the 15 summer weekends at some southern Michigan state parks. The Michigan Department of Transportation reported an approximate 5 percent decline in vehicle miles driven in 1980, but the number of passengers per vehicle increased. “Not only is car and van pooling increasing in the business community, bui Auto Club is observing more group travel, with buses and recreational vehicles full of vacationers headed to one destination," Ratke said. Michigan's ski resorts started 1980 on a dismal note, reporting profits down an estimated $48 million due to the lightest snowfall in over a decade in Lower Michigan, but concluded the year in high gear. Increased snowfall in December helped most ski lodges, with 75 to 100 percent occupancy rates reported during the Christmas-New Year’s holidays. "Now that Michiganians and travelers from nearby states have rediscoveredthe benefits of vacationing in Michigan, we anticipate them returning more often," he said.

Fanners Recognized Farmers have responsibility to make sure the recognition Michigan agriculture is now receiving does not become political rhetroic, according toe Elton R. Smith, president of the Michigan Farm Bureau. In his monthly message to Farm Bureau members in the March issue of Michigan Farm News. Smith said the governor and other state leaders agree agriculture is now the state's number-one industry, providing opportunity and respon­ . sibilities for fanners. "This recognition offers us opportunity to operate in what may become known as “The Decade of Agriculture,’ to be involved in broadening horizons and reaching for new and better ways to produce and distribute food and fiber,” Smith told members. "The responsibility on the other side of the coin is something we need to recognize and accept or we have no right to complain when others are our surrogates in the decision-making process.” Pointing to President Reagan's yet unfilled campaign promise to lift the Soviet grain embargo, Smith said, "I’m sure the President was sincere when he made the promise, but there's always a danger of promises becoming political rhetoric. Here in Michigan,we have a responsibility to make sure the recognition we’re enjoying does not become political rhetoric, even unitentially." Part of the farmers' responsibilities Smith said, is to contribute time, knowledge and experience to the Governor’s Conference on Agriculture, scheduled for April 1-2 at Lang’s Convention Center, Lansing. "You can be sure systems will be well represented, providing input no others can. Important. far-reaching decisions will be made at this conference.” he told ■ members. Governor Milliken called the conference in his State of the State message to design a development plan for Michigan's food and fiber capabilit ies. Wedding Deg Not Fer Aweg?

Mary I. Brown has agreed to help establish the new chapter and to coordinate, AFS activities involved in the organization­ al period of the chapter. AFS is the largest international exchange organization in the world. Each year about 7,000 teenage students from the U.S. and abroad leave to live in one of 60 countries participating in AFS. Although Hastings has been active in exchange programs for many years, the community has not been able to send or receive AFS sponsored students. Sponsorship of an AFS student in or from a community requires exist ance of a local group, called an AFS Chapter, and Hastings has had no such group to fulfill the requirement. The AFS Chapter is a supportive group for the individual participating in the exchange international living experience. The group involves parents, students, school personnel and interested individuals from t he cnlnmun it y-at-large. An AFS Chapter repres commitment on the part of the total community to the incoming or outgoing students the group selects to sponsor. Mrs. Brown said there is enough ipterest in Hastings to establish a local AFS Chapter and Hastings probably can expect to begin participating in AFS ■ International/Intercultural Programs during the 19811982 school year. The Hastings ... „ AFS Chapter will hold its first meeting on Tuesday, Mar. 24. 7:30 p.m. at Mrs. Brown’s home, 1009 S. Jefferson. An informative program about AFS will be presented by Donna McCabe, AFS Consultant for U.S. Field Development. Mrs. Brown would especially appreciate information about or from AFS Alum currently residing in the Hastings area. Their experiences as AFS participants could provide a valuable source of input and guidance to the new local chapter. If there are any questions concerning AFS or the local chapter, Mrs. Brown’s telephone is 945-9180. Walk For Health Chairman Named Clifford Treat. 3615 Wood­ ruff Rd..

Barry County manufacturers stand to gain some business, "If they're prepared to bid competitive­ ly," according to John Farber, spokesman for 3rd District Congressman Howard Wolpe. Several Barry County industries should be very excited ■ this gives suppliers in Barry County a five-centon-the-dollar edge over competitors in areas not as hard hit economically," Farber added.

Banner Hastings Hastings, .Michigan Price 20‘ V< IM, N«- H, Mrefey, SUrdaIt, IM1 Long-Term Unemployment Difficult By MARY LOU GRAY AND LARRY HAMP Many Hastings area businesses, hard hit by the current economic slump, have been forced to lay-off employees on a long term basis. Among those out of work are a considerable number with long years on the job and heavy financial committments of their own. Businessmen and workers agree our county is in terrible trouble. Unemploy­ ment has reached a point where local business qualifies for special attention from Defense Department purchasing agents (see related story in this issue of the Banner). Many working men and women, laid-off for up to a year, despair of returning to jobs they held as long as 25 years. “Everyone has lost friends," said Mrs. Robert Schmader. Her husband had eight years in at E.W. Bliss Div., when the lay-off notice came. "We're good budgeters, so it wasn't as difficult for us as for many," Mrs. Schmader said. Her husband eventually landed a new job in Middleville, “After looking all over Battle Creek. Grand Rapids, Lansing and Kalamazoo, to say nothing of the Hastings area." She said some former Bliss employees have left the area. Ken Konieczny, laid-off by the Bliss three weeks ago, is married and father of five kids. “It’s not going to good and unemployment pay wsnt up just after I got laid off," Konieczny said, adding, “It's the utility bills and insurance that kill you." He's worked at Bliss for 17 years. Spokesman for several area businesses said things don't look good right now. John Flood, personnel manager at Hastings Aluminum Products, said,' "Between fifty and sixty percent of our labor force is laid off." He indicated the future looks uncertain. A spokesman for Hastings Fiberglass said no one is lud-off at his firm, "But we’re not planning any expansion, either,' said personnel manager Jim Neper. Hastings school superint­ endent Richard Guenther reports several teachers and 14 other personnel are laidoff frdln the area school system. Hiring is down at neaiiy every area business (contacted. Those not laying < off employees are not i replacing those who quit or i retire. Several plants, iriotable Hastings ] Manufacturing and E.W. ]bliss have laid off scores of i workers, some with many fear seniority. ’ 1 Bibs hls b„n pirticul„iy hard hit. “Fve got seventeen years in at Bliss," said Harley Marsh, continuing, “I had a job they needed done, so I watched many friends with 25 to 27 years go out the door ahead of me." But it caught Marsh, "About three weeks ago, and it’s not a very good feeling," he observed. A spokesman for congressman Howard Wolpe said late last week a new defense department purchasing program could help some Barry County industry. Without exception work­ ing men and management said the project sounds like good news. “But there are a lot of guys laid-off out there, and some real good ones have already moved on,” said a laid-off Hastings Manufacturing employee. “Fve got seven or eight years in up there and f I wonder if Hl ever get back in," he added. . Michigan is among the half-dozen states hardest hit by the economic slump and unemployment. Latest figures indicate well over 600 thousand persons out of work in Michigan many with little or no hope of reinstatement. And it's not only bills going unpaid and car or furniture being repossessed. State officials say incidence of child abuse, spouse abuse, drug and alcohol abuse, and suicide are rising rapidly. Child abuse cases soared by 37 percent in 1980, while state substance abuse experts reported a 10 percent increase in new case loads.

Check a look at last sports awards, DNR Issues No-Burn Order Barry County fire departments answered 15 grasii fire alarms in three days as high winds and warm weather mixed with careless burning -and disposal of cigarettes to burn off acres of grassland in the county. Hastings fire department spokesman Homer Baum said the Hastings depart­ ment answered three calls Thursday. “I'm surprised we didn't have more over the weekend," Baum said, adding, “Nashville answered four calls on Saturday and Middleville had three the same day." Nashville firefighters got five more calls on Sunday, prompting local concern. "Sunday the DNR (state Department of Natural Resources) issued a no-buming order that goes into effect today," flaum said. Local and state officials can take legal action against those violating the no-burn­ ing order, Baum said. He indicated DNR officials don't hestitate to issue summons' when no-burn orders are violated. "Some local officials will issue tickets, too," Baum added. He said conditions are ripe for continuation of the spate of grass fires. "People don't think sometimes," another fire­ fighter added, saying common sense should indicate no burning when winds are high and grasslands are dry. “We've been lucky no homes have burned." DNR officials will lift the burning ban when conditions warrant. In the meantime, bag your leaves, or let them lie. It's better than a fire burning out of control - and it beats being fined. Posse Busy In 1980 Undersheriff James Onreports another active year for the Barry County Sheriffs Posse. During 1980 the Posse donated 1871 hours to the Barry County Sheriffs Department, saving the county more than 20 thousand dollars. If the Sheriff's Department had provided those additional hours it would have paid overtime at an average of $11 per hour. This did represent a $20,581 savings to the County. Without volunteer work and dedication to the Barry County Sheriffs Posse many services could not have been provided. The Posse donated nearly 1200 hours of sports events and other functions, Charlton Park, High School, in the area. Donations received from these events and incidents were used to purchase new equipment and maintain the present equipment of the Posse. During 1980 the Sheriffs Posse purchased four portable radios and additional equipment for the mobile communications center. The Posse pistol team won the Michigan Posse Association pistol match for the fourth consecutive year. The Captain of the Posse was elected Vice President of the Michigan Sheriffs Posse Association for 1981. Members of the Posse received training on Firearms, Self Defense, CPR, First Aid, Operation of Prosecuting Attorney’s Office and Courts. �THE HASTINGS BANNER. M<mi. Mud 16.1981.

School Board President Richard Groos also agreed with Atkinson. “Jim, you have just hit on the biggest problem,” he commented, the problem of getting across to the public the real needs of the schools. He deplored the reduction in the administrative staff, which he said eventually will be reflected in school management. “Schools don't run on gravity," Groos said. The elimination of the position of director of elementary education when Fred Lowe retired a year ago is going to be felt, Groos said, because many things done by Lowe simply can't be done any more. Dave Styf, principal of Southeastern School, echoed Groos’ sentiments. Styf said' that Lowe analyzed and presented data from testing, for instance, that helped the teachers do a better job. That data is no longer available, because there's no one to do it, Styf said. replacement. He said that in the high school they have $80,000 worth of textbooks, and expect a book to last five years before it is worn out or obsolete. This year, he said, the high school had $3,000 for textbook replacement. “At some time, you’re going to have to catch up," he said. Pete DeDecker, who teaches high school biology, said that the bock he uses is out-of-date, and the money for laboratory work was cut so much that he had to eliminate about 75 percent of the lab program in biology. Atkinson asked VanderVeen to go down the list pf 30 budget cuts which have been made so the committee can determine "which ones are real and which are not”. \ ;e meeting ended with a review of each budget reduction which has been made. The committee will meet again on Thursday, March 26. VanderVeen said he would divide it into smaller subcommittees to discuss specific areas. When several people showed up for the meeting who were not appointed originally by the board, Groos appointed them to the committee and indicated he would welcome the participation by anyone else interested enough to attend.

The 1980 annual exempt amounts were $5,000 for people 65 and over and $3,720 for people under 65 of last year. People who received no benefits in 1980 are not required to file a report, but, Mr. Fleminger said, those people should file a report to make sure any benefits due for the year are paid. A person who earned less than anticipated. for example, may be due some benefits. Mr. Fleminger said the only way these benefits can be paid is if the person files an annual report. The general rule is $1 in benefits is withheld for each $2 of earning above the exempt amount. A person car. have substantia] yearly earnings before all benefits are withheld. For example, a 65-year-old person whose monthly benefit rate is $350 could earn $13,400 before all benefits for 1980 were with­ held, Mr. Fleminger said. People required to file an annual report should have received a copy in the mail. If not', they should contact the nearest social security office to obtain a copy. Those not required to file, but who wish to do so, can get a copy of the form at any social security office. The 1980 annual exempt amounts are $5,500 for people 65 or older any part of 1981 and $4,080 for people under 65 all of 1981.

Among them are Terry Haas and William Humphrey of Delton, Gerrie Esch of Middleville and William Rodgers of Hastings. They were selected by the faculty in their major academic discipline for their outstanding record of scholastic achievement, explained Roger A. Bennett, Faculty Senate president and associate professor of natural science here. WMU President John T. Bernhard was the featured speaker at the convocation; his topic was "The Challenge of Scholarship.” Bernhard said in the midst of higher education's present fiscal plight, "a powerful anti-intellectual coalition is taking shape in our country.” He noted that it springs from a deep distrust and suspicion of intellectual quality in any form, and reveals itself in contemptuous remarks about "brain trusters” or "whiz kids." He observed that it has beep joined by a newer attitude formed by those who ridicule logic and profess to “think with their blood.” “Our challenge is to defend the university in this hostile environment,” Bernhard said. He gave four suggestions to the honored students: try to appreciate the order of magnitude in the factual world; know where to find information, instead of struggling for total recall; strive for an overview of the iota! earth; and develop appreciation of broad experiences and learn to distrust a purely personal experince. Each Presidential Scholar invited one faculty member from their academic discipline to the honors programs as their special guest. Previous Distinguished Faculty Scholar and_____ o__ Distinguished Service Award recipients also were invited to the convocation. The Jazz Volition, a student ensemble comprised of Gary McCourry, Scott Robbins. Dave Chown, Vince Bachman and Zig Gron, performed during the reception, preceding the dinner.

P««e 4 HUGH'S MUSE [Voice of the People) A Trip Out of Town Might Be Best Vo-Ed By HUGH FULLERTON Banner Publisher Perhaps the best vocational education we could give young people in Michigan is 8 trip. More specifically, how about a one-way ticket to someplace like Texas, where there are jobs? Think about it. It costs $1,800 or so per year to keep a young person in school. That's okay, if something worthwhBe is happening. But how much good is education to a kid who can’t find a job when he or she graduates? How about this idea (only slightly tongue-in-cheek)? Let's give our general students (those who do not have higher education in mind) a shortened high school curriculum, so they can finish the basic requirements in three years? At the end of that time, we give them a high school diploma, which should prove that the student is literate, can handle everyday math, has some knowledge of government and society, etc. Then, instead of spending that 18 hundred bucks on 8 fourth year of high school, let's give the new graduate a trip-to somewhere that the job market is better, say Texas or North Carolina. Hastings can't really do much in the way of vocational education. We're not affiliated with a large intermediate school district with a vocational school, and we can't afford our own. But Hastings does have one other advantage. We have a bunch of old school buses approaching their last miles. So let's just load one or more of these buses up with seniors or recent grades, and hope it makes it to Texas before it quits? Now that's more than mere vocational education. MICHIGAN MIRROR Legislature Seeks Ways To Balance State Budget SAVE CASH ...And don’t miss an issue SUBSCRIBE Huffman said voting for the resolution should not be a difficult vote but a necessary one. Suggesting the membership of the Legislature doesn't know the seriousness of the state's budget problems, Huffman said adoption of the resolution could save as many as 3,000 state jobs in the near future. Senate Majority Leader William Faust of Westland agreed that it didn't make much sense to raise civil service pay and then be forced to make layoffs to balance the oudget. Faust expressed interest in action taken at Michigan State University where the board of trustees declared a state of financial emergency thus allowing for the layoff of tenured faculty. Faust questioned whether the state couldn’t take a similar action showing layoffs to reach the older, higher paid employees rather than only bumping the younger employees of the state payroll. Senator James DeSana (D-Wyandotte) said it would be easier for him to vote for the resolution if the Legislature could abo vote to reject the 14 percent legislative pay increase slated to go into effect January 1, 1982. "We need to be consistent," he said. A resolution was offered to reject the legislative pay increase but it was referred to committee and is expected to remain there.

HOYT As the state's economy continues to decline, the Legislature continues to look for ways to make revenues and expenditures balance. With an apparent unwillingness to raise revenues with an increase in taxation, the expenditure side of the ledger is the most attractive. The most recent means is a possible rollback or elimination of a 9 percent pay raise negotiated for civil service employees. The raise is set to take effect on October I, the beginning of the state's next fiscal year. The Senate will soon take a vote on a resolution, offered by Appropriations Committee Vice-Chairman Bill Huffman (DMadison Heights), which would cut the pay raise in half. Adoption of the resolution by the required two-thirds vote in both the Senate and House would mean a general fund savings of approximately $42.5 million Meanwhile, Governor William G. Milliken said he will oppose any effort to rollback the proposed increase. I made my position cl»ar in the budget message in which I recommended full funding of all pay increases, including those negotiated with state employee unions," he said in a letter to employee unions. Milliken said he was proud of state workers who voluntarily reduced their pay or took unpaid leave time to help the state through the fiscal crisis. ( ''I recognize the employee willingness to help out in a time of crisis is based, in part, upon their labor agreements and expected In June at MSU By DORIS J.

LABO 4-H Host Families Needed Michigan is hosting approximately 70 Japanese youth and adults this summer for one month (July 25 - August 24), in the 4-H Japanese LABO Exchange Program. The delegates will be from 12 to 18 years of age with around 4 chaperones in the group. Host family applications are needed to make the selections and match up delegates with regard to same sex and age. Families who have been involved in past years have indicated this experience in hosting a youth from another country has been tremendous. It is not necessary to send a child to Japan in order to host this summer. If any 4-H family wishes to participate and become involved in this program, please contact the Extension office by MARCH 26. 4-H Goat Project News By ALBIE BRUNNER.

Ag Department Wants Comment The public is being asked to submit comments and recommendations to the U.S. Department of Agriculture on how best to protect the interests of both farmers and the government when dealing with grain elevators that go bankrupt. According to Edward Hews, acting administrator of USDA's Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, a USDA working group will consider the comments dur­ ing its current review of al) existing laws and regulations dealing with the question of grain ownership at insolvent elevators. Hew said public comments are especially important because there are no current studies or re*>orts directly related to this matter. Comments should be sent to Merrill Marxman, elevator task force working group. Room 5959 South Bldg., ASCS-USDA. P.O. Box 2415, Washington, D.C., 20013. To the Editor: Congratulations to Larry Hamp for the splendid ar­ ticle, “Give Me Shelter.” It was excellently written. Too many women have had no shelter from the cruelty of the vicious malt. A man who beats or abuses a woman is in the same classification as the man, or woman, who treats a child cruelly. The victim doesn’t stand a chance and both woman and child should be spared the cruelty. Pauline Dean To the Editor. Your recent editorial re­ garding Governor Milliken’s5 $1.1 billion property tax re­ lief overlooked several ele­ ments of the plan. First, the proposal would not merely shift taxes, as you assert, but would pro­ vide a net tax cut of one, quarter billion dollars at the state and local levels. It also introduces account­ ability into the setting of property tax rates by pro­ viding that as inflation drives up housing values, millage rates would auto­ matically go down unless the local unit of government holds a public hearing and then takes a public vote to accept the inflationary in­ crease. Where roughly 35 percent of Michigan taxpayers now receive some relief tinder the circuit-breaker program, this plan would provide re­ lief to all homeowners by automatically reducing prop­ erty tax bills by 35 percent, up to a ceiling of $1,400 of their property tax bill. In all, the plan would eliminate about 45 percent of the property taxes paid in Michigan. Even as this issue is debated, a new round of assessment increases is un­ derway. If the Governor’s plan is given prompt action by the Legislature, we will have an effective control over the tax bills resulting from those increases, both by rolling back property tax bills and requiring local units to publicly vote before collecting increased taxes resulting from the increased assessments. A portion of this plan would be paid for with a one cent sales tax increase. Without this increase to offset a portion of the plan, the only alternative if prop­ erty taxes are to be cut, would be devastating re­ ductions in such critical ac­ tivities as police protection, mental health services, and other human services which already have been cut sub­ stantially because of the state’s financial problems. I would urge you to take a closer look at the proposal. It represents a fair, effective approach to the property tax relief which Michigan home­ owners need. Sincerely. Robert Berg Executive Assistant for Public Affairs To the Editor: The history of mankind is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations on the part of man toward woman, having in directobject the establishment of a tyranny over her. Thomas Wolsey, English Cardinal and Statesman said this some 400 years ago. Obviously there are still among us simple minded twits who find it necessary to condone barbaric behavior. To say (in print yet) that victims (mostly women) of domestic violence “ask for it” is truly absurd, and, as Voltaire said: As long as people believe in absurdities they will continue to commit atrocities. Sincerely, Mrs. Norma Blair To the Editor: Mr. B. C. Comm decided to have a garage sale. There had always been several things lay:-g around that were ho-hum and tedious; garbage cans, water Alters, burgler alarms, and even his old horse next to the barn. Reg the III stopped by, soon after opening, and noticed this display of mundane items. He suggest­ ed to B.C. that his buying club would take these items off his hands, even on a continuous basis, something like a continuous garage sale, and all B.C. would have to do is pay a nominal membership fee. “Fan’astic” said B.C. I’ve never liked having this stuff around anyway. “By the way.” said Reg the III, "I see you're keeping a horse, perhaps you’d bt interested in an elephant I’ve got. It will carry more people you know.’’ B.C. asked if it ate more hay and Reg the ID said he really didn’t know, but it was better to own than a horse. Several weeks went by, and Reg the IH stopped by the garage again. He noticed that B.C. had really put on quite a display of mor? important items. B.C. mentioned how times were really bad, and even these things were hard to keep, what with ever increasing taxes, expenses, and dues to the buying club. Reg the III said "that’s no problem, you're a good loyal member of my buying club, and I’m prepared to take these it®ms off your hands.” B.C. sold his calculator, his books, his medicine cabinet and every­ thing in it, his guns and rifles, and even his CB radio. After buying these things, Reg the III suggested that perhaps B.C. would enjoy a vacation. After all he’d worked hard, he had some extra money now, and why not enjoy life a bit. B.C. thought that was great, and packed off for the Sun Belt. Reg the III said that he'd even watch over the house and farm while B.C. was gone. B.C. was gone about a month, and came back to find that Reg the IH had not only watched the house and farm, but had moved in, with his family, friends, and fellow workers, who were busily erecting temporary housing on the back 40. Reg the HI explained that quite a crisis had developed while B.C. was gone, and some­ thing had to be done quick to keep the place from falling apart. B.C.' watched in amaze­ ment, as a herd of elephants went down the road, tc take factory workers to work, and the poor to pick up their . checks. Reg the III said B.C. could stay in the trailer next to the barn, “but you’ll have to pickup your water at 6 in the morning, food distri­ bution at 7:30, and if you get sick, the doctor is in every fourth Friday at 3. All lights out at 8, because of the ever-worsening energy shortage.” B.C. began to wonder if there was some way he could move to Russia. Harold Freeman To the Editor: I would like to publicly express my sincere thanks to Ron Boyer and associates of the Hastings Ambulance Service and to Dr. Hicks of Pennock Hospital Emergency Room for the prompt, courteous and very professional service that was given me on March 7 following my tree accident.

The jazz band, with the Hastings High School Choir, will per­ form in a concert beginning at 7:30 in the Hastings High School Lecture Hall. The jazz band's first per­ formance of the year was Sunday, Mar. 1, when it performed at Hastings High School's winter band con­ cert. . The HHS Jazz Band is now in its third year and this edition has 22 members, in­ cluding four girls. Amster­ burg, a graduate of Michigan State University, first or­ ganized a jazz band in 1978, the year he came to Has­ tings as head band director after teaching for two years at Flint Ainsworth High School. Hastings never had a jazz band prior to Amster­ burg’s arrival. Amsterburg directed a jazz band at Ainsworth High School, where it was a regular part of the school curriculum, meeting five days a week. At HHS, however, the jazz band pro­ gram is entirely voluntary, for the 22 students and for the director, who donates his time. The band rehearses Thursday evenings from 7:30 to 9:30. after marching band season ends in Novem­ ber, and continues through the school year. Amsterburg said the jazz, band offers a student many opportunities and experi­ ences he would not receive through more traditional school band programs. “First," he said, "jazz allows an opportunity for the stu­ dent to be more independent musically since there are only one or two players per part rather than a large number. “Secondly, I think of jazz as being just another musi­ cal language for the student to learn to speak.” Improvisation is a basic part of this musical lan­ guage. "Improvisation," he says, “allows for the very creative and spontaneous aspects of music. Improvisa­ tion is at the very heart of Amsterburg points out. differences between jazz and classical music, which is often a part of a band’s performance repertoire. “In classical music everything is notated quite exactly as the composer intended it to be performed, although the music may still be inter­ preted in several ways. In an improvised jazz solo, the only thing notated would be chord symbols, which just represent the tools that may be used to create the solo.” This semester, Amster­ burg is assisted directing the jazz band by Cheryl Fryer, a Western Michigan University senior who is practice teaching at Has­ tings. Fryer has a double major in jazz and music education and demonstrates improvisation techniques for the jazz band students. Amsterburg believes his students’ interest in the jazz band has definitely increas- Willard Carter who has been hospitalized and now a medical patient also for therapy at the Provincial House at Hastings and is improving the latest report received.

NOTICE County Commissioners owe them the consideration and coirtesy of allowing them to do their work without ourselves getting caught up in the public clamor. I am proud of the posture we, as a board, have taken. Certainly we as public officials nave the responsibility to look and listen - but it is not proper to act or make a decision before all the facts are known. I obtained information from State Representative Don Gilmer Monday that a new state policy could conceivably give the board of commissioners the additional option of continu­ ing with our present elderly and handicapped transport­ ation system without the requirement that the system “go public.” I believe this would involve no obligation to expartd and might entail $5,000 of State support .per year to operate the present vans.

Ford Field House in Grand Rapids last Wednesday night. East started hot and went up on Lakewcod S 1 early in the first period, but a good shooting steak by Jeff Heide had the Vikes ahead by the end of the period, 15-13. Heide & Co. outscored the East quintet 20-4 for seven minutes in the second period and led 26-15 with under five minutes remaining in the first half. Then Viking turn­ overs to a good EGR press began to tell. East's Garde Thompson went on a hot shooting streak and the first half ended with Lakewood trailing by five, 32-27. Karpintki Ahearn Joynron Viking coach Rollie Krause said late second quarter turnovers were the key. “We had them by eleven points and let it get away," Krause said. EGR stalled in the second half and led by four points going into the fourth quarter when they stretched their lead to the 15 point margin of victory, despite desperate efforts by the Vikes. Krause said the EGR squad ran a good stall offense while his team didn’t make use of the opportunity when they had a big lead. Still, the Vikes have put together a record to be proud of in Rollie Krauss’ team as head coach. This season the team was ranked No. 2 in the state at season end. Congratulations on a great effort. Fans know they’ll see the same kind of effort each season from Krauss-coached teams.

Shuster led the league in scoring and rebounding to gather in the honors. Shuster shot 53 percent from the floor this season, 65 percent from the foul line, according to Saxon coacn Wayne Brown. “He’s just a tremendous basketball player," Brown added. Shuster was joined on the all-conference squad by Saxon teammate . Jon Joynson and John Karpin­ ski, who made 2nd team, and Dan Ahearn made honorable mention. Coach Brown said, “Ahearn is our top defensive player and deserves the honor." Brown also observed Jon Joynson was top scorer for the Saxons in two games ■nd made great contributions through the season. “Karpinski shot forty­ eight percent from the floor and that’s mostly shooting from outside,” Brown said, adding, “He’s an excellent ball handler." Joining Shuster on the first team, All-Conference list are, Nate Mitchell, a 6’1" senior from Albion; Ron Morse, a six foot senior from Hillsdale; Jim Hickman, a 6’4" senior from Sturgis; and Phil Laskey, a six foot senior from Marshall.

States Get Wildlife Funds An additional $24.3 million in Federal aid funds has been • apportioned by Secretary of the Interior James G. Watt to the 50 states, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, and American Samoa for fish and wildlife programs. This brings to $114.3 million the amount made available to the states this fiscal year by the Federal Government. The funds will be used by the states to finance sport fish and .wildlife restoration and hunter safety programs. Of the total funds available, $83.4 million is for wildlife restoration and $30.9 million is for fish restoration. Michigan will receive nearly 12 million dollars. Federal aid funds are made available to states in two apportionments annually as tax receipts become available at the Treasury Department. This year a preliminary apportioment of $90 million was made on September 11, 1980. for fiscal year 1981. The second apportionment, recently anrounced, represents an additional $24.3 million. Funds for wildlife restoration and hunter safety programs come from an 11 percent excise tax on sporting arms and ammunition, a 10 percent tax . a handguns, and an 11 percent tax on archery equipment. Distribution of wildlife restoration funds is based on a formula which takes into account the number of hunting license holders and the land area of each state. The funds may be used to acquire, develop, and manage wildlife habitat and for research in wildlife management. Hunter safety funds, distributed according to the relative population of each state, may be used by the state wildlife agencies for hunter education programs including construction, operation, and maintenance of public target ranges. The funds also may be used for wildlife restoration. Fish restoration funds come from a 10 percent excise tax on fishing rods, reels, creels, and artificial baits, lures, and flies. Distribution of funds is made according to a formula based on the number of fishing license holders and the land area of each state, including coastal and Great Lakes waters. The funds are used by the state agencies to5 purchase land and water areas for development or rehabilitation of such a’*eas, development of access sites and facilities for fishing, and for research in fishery management.

White smoke is billowing out the roof, so you slow down for another look. Then you see the buckets - one on nearly every tree and you know they're making syrup. Step on the brake, grab the camera, jump over the ditch. I almost knew what to expect when I shouted, "Hellor The door slid open Checking the cans, Keith Farlee checks the sap flew from a tree on his woodlot. Eighteen barrels of sap boOs down to 10 or 12 gallons of to reveal a big stack of firewood and the smiling face of Keith Farlee. “Come on in and take a look," he said as the steam boiled out around him He reminded me of an Upper Peninsula Finlander coming out of the sauna. Farlee’s "Sugar Shanty" is in a woodlot on Davenport Rd., near Woodland. Tve lived in Woodland Township all my life," Farlee said adding, “I was brought up in the Sugar Bush," He says sugar bush with capital letters, just like a man who knows the time and labor involved in making good maple syrup. Farlee spends 12-13 hours a day when he’s making syrup, boiling down 18 barrels of sap into, "About ten gallons of syrup." "We burn up six to'ten cords of three foot wood a season," he continued, adding, “It’s a family business - me, my sons Rick and Charles, and my grandson Scott." Scott is a senior at Lakewood High School, and, “Comes down to the shanty when he gets home from school," his grand-dad said. Farlee whose home burnt last year, -loved to his Davenport Road location in 1940. “We started making syrup here the next season.” With one exception he’s made syrup every season since 1941. “We didn't make the year the house burned," he said. In fact, Farlee’s made maple syrup since he was six years old. “It's a family thing, my family's been doing it as long as I can remember," he said, then added, "You start by gathering and hauling fire­ wood when you're little, and work in to the rest." Speaking of firewood, Farlee observed as how his maple trees served two purposes: "Providing sap for many seasons, then provid­ ing heat to boil down the sap." But making syrup, "Is getting to be a losing art,” syrup. Farlee says soger according to the artist. content of the sap is not as Farlee said. "The finished high as in moot years; adds product is so expensive and his art is a dying one. it's not our fault." He said state restrictions increase costs and really aren’t necessary. "We use this syrup ourselves - we're going to make it right," he said grinning. Much of Farlee’s equipment has been used for many seasons. "We had to replace the pans (special Hued containers in which sap is boiled down, in Seventysix. but we've been using the arch (the firebox) for a long time." he said. “We built the shanty back in the Fifties," he said, drawing attention to unique­ ly hinged vents on the east and west sides of the building’s peak. Those were my idea, I can ventilate the place whichever way the wind blows," he added. And you can see Keith Farlee knows how to do it. He’s moving constantly, but he’s got time to crack a joke or draw-off samples of his syrup in paper cups for visitors to taste. “Pm right Always genial, Keith here close to the road and Farlee keeps a supply of people see the steam - they paper cups handy in He usually walk right up through the woods and give a holler," he said. Farlee said he'd like to see the art revived. “I've spent my life in the Sugar Bush and the sugar shanty - we always have a great time down here," he added. Farlee said sap this year isn't as sweet as normal. “I had some checked down in Nashville, and it's only about three percent sugar,” he said, adding, “It normally runs about six percent." But it sure tastes good. So if you’re out driving in maple cree country north east of Hastings and you see a spiffy little building in the woods with steam coming out of the roof, - well, you know.

Miehijon > Mrs. Gray and Sam Marfia, transportation coordinator, over minutes of the previous meeting. Mrs. Gray said that she had not been quoted accurately, and objected to a sentence which said that "Mrs. Gray’s statement... will be corrected." Mrs. Gray said her statement had been correct, therefore could not be corrected. Marfia challenged the accuracy of some of Mrs. Gray’s earlier statements. Eloise Wolf, director of the Commission of Aging, who chaired the LTCC, said that officials had received many phone calls from citizens objecting to the proposed county transportation system, and the Department of Transportation’s alleged “blackmail tactic" in forcing the county to go to the full public system. She said that the DOT has offered to keep state support at the present level, but it will not come to a vote until March 25. Mrs. Wolf noted that CETA is likely to end this year, and most drivers under the present system have been CETA employees. "We wouldn't have any drivers or dispatcher money," she said. Kim Rugh, representing Barry County Mental Health said he had doubts about combining their transport­ ation system with the COA because they could not be "guaranteed similar services to what they have at present. Mrs. Wolf said “What you were told was that your clients would not be given priority.” She said she thought “something could be worked out" to meet the needs of both Mental Health and EBI Breakthru Five options were considered by the council: forming a public, non-public corporation; making transportation a branch of county government; forming an independent authority under Act 7; forming an authority under Act 55; and continuing the present system with current levels of state support. Presumably, the current system could offer transportation services to other agencies on a contract basis. Nine menbers voiced the support of the fifth option, continuing the present system. Two favored forming an authority under Act 7, and one abstained. The council dealth with two other questions raised in the Cotran Report but not decided earlier. In one vote, the council recommended that if a public system is started, it have its own maintenance facility and offer to maintain some of the county vehicles, as well as public transportation vehicles. In the other policy decision, the council voted to “not consider general school busing" except for possible some special education students. On a motion of Mary Lou Gray, the three options pertaining to the manner in which vehicles could operate, were unanimously rejected, with one negative vote. Gray said none are compatible with the goals of equality and economy as stated in the Co-Tran Report. Several people from the audience spoke, among them Bill Hayes, Mary Humphrey Williams and Mike Kidder. Kidder presented petitions bearing the signatures of over 400 residents of Barry County in opposition to the establishment of Mass Transit. When asked if he had gone door-to-door to collect the signatures, Kidder responded he did not go door-to-door, but that he recently had heart surgery, and collected the signatures while taking walks and visiting various parts of the county.

INI Police Search For Red Van Hastings Girl Abducted Hastings City Police and the Allegan County Sheriff Department are investigat­ ing the abduction and rape of a teenage Hastings girl Saturday evening. Accord­ ing to reports from city police and Allegan County detective Moeller, the girl was forced into a red van in the Hamady Food Store parking Jot about 7:30 p.m. Saturday. Hastings Police Chief William Brandt said the girl was held for. “About two Transportation System Sleuths Find Hideout The Barry County Commissioners will get a recommendation from the Local Transportation Coordinating Council that the county continue to operate the present system for elderly and handicapped, with the present level of stat support. The state now provides three vehicles and contributes 15,000 per vehicle toward operating expenses. The council Wednesday voted nine to three to recommend to continue the present system, with two members supporting a new county authority, and one abstaining. A short while earlier, the council had voted six to five, with one abstention, to sent the transportation survey to the commissioners, with the recommendation that the county not get into public transportation. Tempers were heated during the LTCC meeting, which was the final one scheduled for the group. The council was under a deadline to submit its recommendations to the county commissioners, who are expected to receive the matter next Tuesday. Willard Baker, superint­ endent of the Delton schools, said he had been “deceived by this committee from Day One." “I’m ready to vote on this issue right now," Baker said, just before making the crucial motion to reject a full-scale public transport­ ation system. It was Baker’s motion to reject public transportation which passed by a 6-5 vote and changed the direction of the meeting. Supporting Baker's motion were Duane Peterson, Kim Rugh, Betty Johnson, Baker, Joan Foster and Mary Lou Gray. Opposed were Ronald Lear, Eloise Wolf, Ed Daniels, Marvin Schouten and Dick Dean. Mike Williams abstained. The meeting started with a disagreement between tiae and high price .al the fimsbed prndnrt. Hastings police were surprised a couple of weeks ago to get a call regarding missing carnations - 300 missing carnations. Oddest part ol tne mystery is, the stems and leaved weren't touched, only the flower tops were taken. Employees at' Barlow Gardens Nursery were dismayed to find every carnation in the place gone no traces. Investigations indicated the thief was small, and probably four legged.

Owners of the Nursery report they did find the nest, lined with the petals from $300 worth of carnations. hours," then released in extreme western Barry County or eastern Allegan County. Moeller said the girl was released by her abductor in the vicinity of 123rd Ave., and 15th St., in Allegan County. Chief Brandt said he believes the abductor is not from the Hastings area. "He made no attempt to disguise himself or his vehicle," Brandt commented. Moeller said officers are thoroughly checking the scene where the victim was released for physical evidence. He said anyone observing a red van Sat­ urday night in any of the areas mentioned should contact Hastings police or ihe Allegan Sheriff Department. Detective Moeller said his department got a telephone call from the girl about 9;27 p.m. Saturday night. “She walked up to a house and asked to use the phone," he said. Moeller added the girl, "Should be able to help us make up a good composite likeness - we feel we have a good chance to identify him if we can get him in a line-up." Both Moeller and Brandt said children and parents should be advised a dangerous person is at large and may return to the area. Suspicious activities, particularly those directed at children, should be reported to law enforcement officers immediately. Nashville Merchants Angry Tax Protest Will Shut Down Village By LARRY HAMP Claiming Nashville residents. "Can’t handle any more taxes," Village businessmen will close their doors for a day Wednesday, Mar; 25, to protest increased assessments, "And the Michigan tax load in general," according to protest organizers Helen Curtis and Robert Feuri, jr. Curtis said the village is, "Looking at huge increases on property valuations.' She said Nashville is at least 50 percent senior citizens who can’t afford more taxes on their fixed incomes. “We also have a very high rate of unemployment in the area,” Curtis added. Curtis said she and other Nashville retailers and businessmen will hang, “Black wreaths on our doors - the village is going into mourning,” over what Feuri refers to as an, “Impossible tax burden." Feuri and Curtis said Nashville has lost several retail businesses recently when old or dilapidated buildings were demolished. “The town is deteriorating because no one can afford to make improvements - some just can't afford to stay in business,” Feuri said. He added. “It looks like about a hundred percent of the local storekeepers will shut down, in addition to our only The Hastings High School Jazz Band put on a combined concert with the HHS choir Tuesday evening, to the delight of • couple hundred fans in the lecture hall.

Nashville lost another manufacturer recently. Standard Stamping Company on Reed St., closed its doors, laying off about 30 workers. “At one time the company employed over a hundred persons,” Curtis raid. She added, “Nashville is dying - becoming a bedroom community, and we may even lose that. Curtis said some families are leaving the village because. "We have the highest sewer and water rates in the area, in addition to a school system in financial trouble; they’ll (Lhe schools) be asking for additional millage this spring. Curtis is currently a member of the Nashville village council. She said she won’t run for the office again. "We have conflict on how the village should be run," she • :d. adding, “The village has got io grow, but we have many here who oppose growth or change." Curtis said Nashville has lost a major employer to the Battle Creek area because the village would not provide adequate services. "Owners of the operation now employ about three hunderd people in Battle Creek - we could have employed the whole village working force there." Curtis said. Feuri said, "Things don’t look too good for Nashville right now." He said new property tax evaluations went up nearly, "One hundred percent on my business - The building empty probably isn't worth six thousand dollars they've got me assessed at about thirty thousand - it’s stupid. Feuri said he hopes leaders will pay attention to what's happening in Nashville. "Now they’re telling us what to do - they don't listen,” he said, then added. “They work for us, but somehow that fact gets twisted in their minds and they think we work for them." Feuri said many area farmers, hard hit by increased property valuations, will join the protest. “We expect several politicians who desire tax reform to attend, but it's not a day for politicians - it’s a day for the people to speak out and speak up,” Feuri said. Feuri. Curtis and Nashville retailer Ahmo Jordan say a complete shut­ down of state retailers for a day could cost the state up 20 million dollars. "I wish we could get this going state­ wide," Feuri said. “Maybe then they'll pay some attention and listen to what we’re saying." But, he adds, he won’t hold his breath. �THE HASTINGS BANNER. Wed.

Northrup, District Manager of Consumers Power's Battle Creek District, said. "The average gas home heating customer uses approximately 240 ccf of gas during the billing month of March," Northup said. “So depending on daily temperatures, the PGA change for March could increase the average residential gas bill approximately $6.35." The PGA reflects the increased cost of gas purchased by Consumers Power from its pipeline suppliers, primarily due to the partial deregulation of natural gas prices at the wellhead by the federal government. Consumers Power makes no profit from the PGA. The higher bills will be particularly noticeable for March because Consumer Power’s gas customers received a refund averaging about $10.50 on their bills in February. The Michigan Public Service Commission authorized that ref**nd because of a reconciliation of natural gas costs incurred previously. “In addition, Consumers Power’s gas rates increased seven percent effective February 11," Northup said. Until February 11, Consumers Power's natural gas rates were based primarily on 1977 operating costs and did not reflect today's cost of doing business. The main reason for increases in natural gas bills over the last three years has been the higher price Consumers Power must pay to gas pipeline suppliers. The PGA for March illustrates how the increased cost of gas from suppliers continues to influence customer bills, Northup said. This combination of factors - the rate increase and higher costs of gas to the company - contributes to higher gas bills this month, Northrup said. During the first week in February, the average residential gas customer was paying approximately 28.4 cents per hundred cubic feet for gas. That figure will be approximately 33.5 cents in March, a 17.8 percent increase in the cost of natural gas to a residential customer. Nevertheless, natural gas still is less expensive than electricity, fuel oil or propane as fuel or space heating. “Of course weather may work to the customer's advantage in March," Northrup said. February was approximately 14% warmer than last year, and 10% warmer than normal. If these warmer conditions continue, it will provide significant relief for space heating customers, even though the per unit cost of gas is up substantially. “The reason we want to explain to customers now that increases in bills are coming, is so customers can prepare for higher bills. If customers are having difficulty paying higher winter heating bills, assistance programs such as the Winter Protection Plan still are available to many customers, as well as other state and federal assistance programs." Northrup said that electric customers, mean­ while, will see a reduction in March electric bills. The Public Service Commission recently approved a fuel and purchased and net interchange power adjustment for Consumers Power. The adjustment will mean approximately a four percent decrease in March bills for the average customer who uses 500 kilowatt hours of electricity monthly. This adjustment is similar to the PGA but, instead of gas, the adjustment covers increases in the cost of fuel purchased to generate electricity and power purchased from other utilities.

Krrhigan By VICTOR SISSON Tie District BoardI Of Administration of the i Wesleyan Church recently designated Mar. 915 as Pastor Appreciation Week and asked all churches in the District to observe in some manner. Members of Grace Wesleyan Church love and appreicate their pastor and his family and try to show it every week. (Mrs. Davis said Sunday we didn't have to show our appreciation of them in a special way this particular week we do show it in so many ways every week. So unknown to Rev. Davis, or any of his family, Church Clerk Barbara Meek sent a letter to every member of the church enclosing an envelope and card. The recipient was asked to write on the card what the one whose name was signed would do as a token of their appreciation for the labors of the hard working and concerned pastor. The envelopes were to be Michigan State University’s campus is served by 20,890 telephones, including 11,624 in student housing. placed on a tree Sunday morning and presented during the morning service. This, was done, to the surprise of Rev. Davis and family. Pictures were taken of the presentation. At l he 6 o'clock service Sunday evening Rev. and Mrs. Bonnaco if '.e 'lei Trotter Rescue Million in Grand Rapids w^e guests. He was the speake- of the evening, telling about the founding work of the mission and showed many slides of various phases of the work, auxiliaries, camps for child­ ren, used clothing, and free meals in the dining hall. The service was sponsor­ ed by the Women’s Mission­ ary Society and they had a quantity of clothing collect­ ed wheih with a very libera] offering was presented to the Bonnacos for the work of the Mission. A group of ladies are planning to visit the Mission some time in the near future for a tour. The Youth Group is also consiiiering a trip to the Mission and attending a service there.

Recoupment project Director Kenneth Visser said more than $19 million is owed by the first 10,000 persons identified. "In cases of former welfare recipients, the local DSS office is identifying these persons who are ineligible or who were over­ paid, and then obtaining a local court order for repay­ ment or a signed agreement to repay from the client," Visser explained. “Now if the client agrees to repay the amount, sets up a regular repayment schedule and sticks to it, we don’t try to halt his or her tax return. But if they fail to make regular agreed-upon payments, then we’re going to try to intercept any tax claim they may have," Visser said. Recoupment of delinquent child support payments is sought in cases where the absent parent's family winds up on Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) or another public assistance program.

"About half of those cases reported are sexual abuse," according to Dr. Susan Scheurer, MSU pedi­ atrician and member of a team of MSU staffers evalu­ ating the problem. Dr. Scheurer added her belief, “The actual figure is pro­ bably closer io five percent, with half being sexually abused." Hairy County Prosecut­ ing Attoryney Judy Hughes told the Banner, Thursday, “We had three complaints in one day last week and just issued another this morn­ ing." Hughes added one vic­ tim was, "Almost stran­ gled," in addition to being sexually abused. Hughes said recent conversations with other prosecutors and law enforcement officers in­ dicates widespread concern about the problem. wh Bucklin. a northern Michigan psychologist specializing in human IT.-.___ __Department _____ .____ of, Hastings f Social Services (DDS) Pro­ tective Services officer Char Michael agrees with Bucklin. “I’ve been here since 1974 and there’s been a big facrease-a great big increase­ in cases of incest, and other sexual assaults on children" Michael said. She said six local cases of sexual abuse had been reported for favestigation by Mar. 15 this year. Dr. Joe Seelig, director of the local Community Mental Health program, siad, “It’s a tough subject-it sometimes goes on for generations.” He said recently more cases are being reported. “In the past women put themselves in a bad position when they reported inci­ dents to authorities-mothers were often beaten and lawmen didn’t want to get involved," Seelig said. Bucklin added, “What’s needed is a program where the offender is yanked right UMIr , ne out of LIIC the 4lume home." He agreea agreed law enforcement officers of• • ■ ten don’t like to get involv­ ed, Especially when the handling these cases on a offender is powerful in the rpfprrnl basis hacis for fnrthwMwo ___ „ , ■_ referral three years . , „-----. community, he said. “The r"hOe"'tin . _______ do’__ 'tWM °f Prol”1 ',heir the tip of the iceberg is own m these cases. showing."

But the kids are often ter­ rified. according to Michael. "And sometimes the child doesn't think there's any­ thing wrong with v hat's happening," she said, add­ ing, “It's offten the only form of attention they gel. ’ Seeling said cases must be studied individually. “Some offenders arc truly mentally ill and not aware of the ram­ ifications of what they’re doing.” Others have value systems placing no taboo on incest or abuse, and, “Some are involved in other kinds of anti-social behavior.” Teachers, counselors, ..ifaisters and other persons dealing regularly with child­ ren should be aware of signs indicating problems. Accord­ ing to Bucklin, Seelig, Mich­ ael and other specialists, runaways are often victims of sexual abuse. “These kids have often been threatened, or feel it’s so ugly they can’t stand to have it known," Michael added. Michael said there are patterns visible in sexual abuse cases. “We see break­ down in marriages, lack of communication, often abus­ ers are not natural parentst he barrier is not so difficult to cross." She said some­ times all children in a family are sexually abused. Stiff New Drinking, Driving Laws Stiff drinks will mean stiffer penalties for drinking drivers when several new laws take effect April 1. according to Automobile Club of Michigan (AAA). Other new motoring laws would give speeders more penalty points and reduce the required number of li­ cense plates on a vehicle from two to one. The 1980 Michigan Legislat ure approved several bills designed lo make drunk driving arrests easier and increare fines upon convic­ tion. Prior laws provided that “warantless arrests" by po­ lice officers only could be made if accidents occurred on a public highway. As of April 1, officers can make such arrests involving acci­ dents on any public road or parking lot if they believe a driver has been drinking. ^e new laws expand the principle of "implied con­ sent." This means upon re­ ceipt of a driver’s license, a motorist agrees to take a chemical test if suspected of drinking in “any area open to the general public." The alternative is loss of license. Also new is a provision which prohibits a person from driving a snowmobile or off-the-road vehicle while under the influence of liquor or drugs. For the first time in 63 years, lawmakers increased the penalty for drunk driv­ ing to a minimum $100 and maximum $500 fine, and/or a maximum jail term of 90 days for first offenders. The new fines will replace the current minimum-maximum range of $50 to $100. A move aimed at conserv­ ing gasoline and tightening enforcement of the present 55 mile per hour speed limit will assess one penalty point on a motorist’s driver's li­ cense if convicted of driving between 60 and 69 rn.p.h., Penalty points rise to two for driving 70 to 79 rn.p.h,, three for 80 to 85 rn.p.h. and four for over 85 rn.p.h. The law also permits the Gover­ nor to adjust the points if he declares a state of emergecy and sets a lower speed limit for the state. In a move to save the Secretary of State’s office $7 million over the next three years, the Legislature elims fasted the requirement that motor vehicles carry two licnese plates. Beginning March 31, passenger cars need only be equipped with one plate on the rear while truck-tractors must have one on the front. Motoring laws passed hy the 1980 Legislature which already have gone into effect •Motorists with six or more parking tickets must pay the fines or face loss of their driver's license or car registration. Local courts will submit records of un­ paid fines to the Secretary of State, who in turn will with­ hold the permits. •Vehicle owners have the option to register their ve­ hicles for two years instead of one. •Gasohol is taxed 6 cents per gallon to make it more competitive with unleaded gas which is taxed at 11 cents. The rate will jump to 8 cents in 1983, 9 cents in 1984 and 11 cents 1985. •The extra levy of $2.50 for car registrations $6 for title transfers was extended until April 15. 1982 for Southeast Michigan residenletomeet transportation -—*needs. •Higher interest ceiling on car loans offered by financial institutions were approved but the law ex­ pires June 1 unless reinstat­ ed by the Legislature. •Students enrolled in an approved driver education course can drive with a licensed parent or guardian for the purpose of additional instruction. •Road tests were elimi­ nated for driver's license applicants who have passed a driver education course and examination within the prior 12 months. Radical changes in behav­ gage in sexual acts on an ior may also indicate some­ almost daily basis. "There's thing amiss, according to no doubt in my mind he is Bucklin.

Poland first emerged as a state around the year 1000 a union of Slavic tribes. By 1492, after successful wars, treaties, and dynastic unions, an enlarged Poland counted the territories of Lithuania, Hungary, Prussia, Bohemia, and Pomerania in its sphere of influence. By 1667 war and civil strife-as well as expansion­ ist neighbors-had eaten away at its borders. After three partitions, Poland was devoured by Russia, Prussia, and Austria and wiped off Europe's map by Kids Have Thought-Provoking Social Questions About Newspapers Security By HUGH FULLERTON Banner Publisher , il Evefy once 'n awhi,e- we a chance to talk to school children about our favorite su bject -newspapers. It's always fun and never dull, so your Muser was pleased at the chance recently to talk to all the fifth graders at Central School They were a lively bunch, but also surprisingly attentive. Pat Markle, John Merritt and Bob Palmer, their teachers, had done a good job of preparing them on the subiect, and the kids were full of questions We spoke for a few minutes, reviewing the various functions of a newspaper, how we try to serve our varied audience and instaling a little of the zeal which we feel for news coverage. Then we opened the floor for questions. And the questions flew. For the next 15 or 20 minutes, we faced the sea of hands, as the kids came up with more and more questions. There were no inhibitione here, and the questions were all good ones. They ranged from technical things, like asking how onset printing works, to some rather lofty ones on ethical issues. Time ran out before we could answer all the questions (We would have been there until dinner time). Some of the kids came up afterwards and personally said ''thanks" for coming. The teachers commented that it was worthwhile for the students. The perhaps-unsung benefit is that it was good for a newspaper publisher, too. In the rush of day-to-day setivities, it’s too easy to forget some of the nosons we are in the newspaper business in the first place. Those questions-especially the tough ones on ethnical issues -bring the whole thing back into focus. These kids are just adult in miniature. Some of the questions they have are probably the same ones their parents might ask in a similar situation. And these youngsters will be adults themselves in a few years, so they are our future readers. Thanks kids, for making me think. Maybe I helped you do the same.

Soya and Gordon had a brief but sharp exchange over differing views on how ti e matter should be handled. Love said he was trying to save taxpayers money when he made t he original motion. Gordon said he believes the board should carefully study the issue, and that it’s wrong to pull out without warning. Love and Soya asked how much, warning other recent dropouts had given. Several commissioners added their belief money spent on Region HI could be better used in the county-Soya said he'd rather see it used to keep a laid-off mechanic at the sheriff's department, "On the payroll." He said many county buildings are in a state of disrepair and, "This money could be used to keep them up." Commissioners then tabled the matter until Wolf indicated many grants are available to public agencies. She said the GAO (General Accounting Office) identified 114 federal programs providing financial assistance for transportation. Wolf recommended those serving on the LTCC and the Ix>cal Advisory Council be commended for time, effort and input provided while the , transportation study was conducted. Mr. Marfia' reviewed contents of the transport­ ation and the summary of recommendations made by LTCC. The recommend­ ations pertain to central dispatcn for emergency vehicles, establishment of county-wide central purchasing and a vehicle maintenance facility for county vehicles as well as County Incentive vehicles. Other recommendations speak against school bussing and rejection of »hree options under which vehicles would operate if mass transit was established. Ms. Wolf reviewed recommendations made by LTCC. First of those calls for negotiations to go forward on the Echtinaw garage for storage of Mass Transit vehicles.

City Assessor Mike Payne said Tuesday. "We still don’t have a definite figure, so I •an't say what the increases might be." Payne added he doesn't know when new assessments will be mailed, saying, “They'll go out as soon as we have a definite figure." Most city taxpayers received six to seven percent increases in residential taxes last month. Those figures could increase by an additional 7.4 perenet, according to state tax officials. The floard of Review began meeting March 9 and will continue in session through April 3. Payne said the board has had some people in regarding assessments, “But they're not overwhelmed." The original error came when equalization director Phyllis Jackson failed to enter six months sales of County Board Rectifies Errors, Gets Input the afternoon session. In other business, Dean reported the county Medical Care Facility is still over­ staffed. "We’re getting it down through attrition," he said, adding, ‘We’ll probably be a little over budget for most of this year.” John Martinoff. Director of Mid Counties Employ­ ment and Training Consort­ ium, attended the meeting. His guest. Joseph Roman­ chuk, Chairman of the Calhoun County Board of Commissioners, briefly addressed the Board. He • said Calhoun County has problems similar to those of Barry County. He offered assistance and advice if needed and extend­ ed an invitation for Barry Commissioners to attend Calhoun County sessions. County Transportation Coordinator Sam Marfia and Eloise Wolf, Chairman of the Local Transportation Coor­ dinating Council (LTCC) appeared before the Board. Ms. Wolf reviewed establishment of the trans­ portation study grant through the County Incentive plan. Wolf informed that Section 18 funding, originally designed for capital equipment, had been expanded and could be used for operat:cn expenses. Section 18 money is no longer available for third year funding, and conditions revert to the original intent­ providing capital equipment funding. U Board Of Review Gray, Marfia, Wolf Talk Transit The Barry County Board of Commissioners met Tues­ day and opened the agenda by correcting an error made two weeks ago when P. Richard Dean abstained on a vote. Admitting he was in error by abstaining. Dean said he was. "Surprised by the moton and not prepared to vote on it.” He added further study had made him. “Belter prepared to deal with the issue now." The motion in question regarded withdrawal of the county from Region III. Nashville residents ready themselves for tax protest property in her basic study. State officials found the error late in Feb., and Mrs. Jackson issued corrected figures Mar. 8 saying an error of about 7.4 percent had occurred. Original assessments this year climbed an average 6.56 percent. Jackson, in her Mar. 8 statement said the average should have been 14.78 percent.

Wolf recommended for a public hearing by the County Board and adoption of a state proposal continuing funding of three COA vehicles at their present level. Mary Ix»u Gray opposes establishment of mass transit in Barry County. She presented Chairhian Radant with the City Council’s determination a reflection of t he voice of t he people - on record unanimously opposed to the establish­ ment of mass transit." Gray said she had produced evidence at LTCC meetings in opposition to establishment of mass transit and presented her own study with supportive documentation and exhibits to Board members for consideration. Concluding her report. Gray directed comments to Board members, saying, “If mass transit is your choice, the issue for you to consider is whether people are will­ ing, in a monetarily subst ansive way, to support mass transit in Barry County." Baltimore Township Supervisor Wayne Miller expressed opposition to mass transit. People just “cannot afford" to support it.

MORE WAYS TO HELP STOP 11S South JcHwion Order v vruer I Vacation Welborn Introduces Cut State Senator Jack Welborn (R-Kalamazoo) today introduced what he termed "a true tax cut package" in the Michigan Senate, late last week. At a news conference in Lansing, Welborn said his proposal (SJR G) “would result in substantial property tax relief for homeowners and provide an additional $500 million dollars for education in fiscal year 1981-82.” “For years the Legislature has been shifting its priorities away from education." Welborn said. “This proposal puts priorities back where they belong." “The Tisch HI Modified Property Tax Cut Proposal which I am introducing in the Senate will reduce the size of state government without damaging necessary state services," Welborn continued. “This is not a tax shift," Welborn emphasized. ’There are no hidden tax increases in this package." The Welborn tax proposal would: provide substantial property tax relief to all property taxpayers; grant special property tax relief to homeowners and renters over the age of 62; require the state to reimburse local units of government for all lost property tax revenues; guarantees local control of local government; places a 2% cap on annual property tax increases without voter approval; prohibits an increase of more than 5% annually on special taxes such as license fee and tuitions without approval of the voters or a two-thb-ds approval of the Legislature with the right to referendum; retains the current state spending limitation; provides funding for public schools at the same per pupil percentage basis as the 1978-79 K-12 education budget. Under the proposed property tax cut proposal introduced by Senator Welborn, the state equalized value (SEV) on property would be reduced to 41 2/3% of the 1980 value in 1981. In 1982, the SEV would be reduced to 33 1/3% of the 1980 value. In 1983 and every year thereafter, the taxes in a local unit of government could not be increased more than 2% without voter approval. Senator Welborn called the new proposal, "reasonable, responsible, correct and tight enough to prevent misinterpretation by the legislature.” ‘People can argue over the philosophy and the fiscal impact any proposal will have on state government," Welborn added. “But I think the state can afford this tax cut package and still provide the necessary state �THE HASTINGS BANNER, Wed. .March 25.1981, P^e 3 Lakewood Plans Friendship Fest WHEN THE LAST BUSINESS LEA1E S PLEASE TURN OFF THE LIGHTS Signs Tell Protest *Birth at Pennock It's a GM Marsha and Larry Price, R 3, Box 52, Lake Odessa, March 18,12:35 p.m., 6 lb. 14 ox.; Michael and Susan Jacobs, 818 W.

Palmatier Frocked To Captain Rank Following a traditional older than the U.S. Navy . itself, Philip E. Palmatier, Naval Supply Center Executive Officer, was “frocked” - to the rank of Captain, Supply Corps, U.S. Navy. Captain Robert B. Abele, Supply Center Commanding Officer, administered the oath of office, and Mrs. Marie Palmatier helped Captain Abele put. on the new shoulder boards of Captain. The tradition of frocking an officer dates to the early days of naval history when, during battles, junior officers were asked to don the frocks of fallen comrades of superior rank, thus filling a vital leadership role. Today the tradition is continued when an officer is selected for promotion. The frocked officer enjoys most of the privileges of the new rank-except the pay, which comes when he is later promoted. Captain Palmatier is a native of Hastings and a graduate of Michigan State University and the Univer­ sity of Michigan, where he received his Bachelor’s Degree and a Master’s For 150 million years Degree in Business dinosaurs dominated the He received his earth.

A DISTANT THUNDER, a seventy-eight minute color film, is a sequel to Mark IV Pictures’ 1973 release, A THIEF IN THE NIGHT. - It begins where A THIEF IN THE NIGHT ended. Patty, the leading character in A THIEF IN THE NIGHT, is among a large number of people held prisoner because they have not received the Mark of the Beast. Since the day Patty awoke and found Jim, her husband, had disappeared, she has suffered grief, loneliness, hunger, and fear because of the Evil One that works for the control of the world. Patty and her two friends. Wenda and Sandy escape the attention of ths authorities for a time. When Wanda and Sandy attempt to help an elderly man, they are arrested by an armed patrol. The girls succeed in warning Patty that their hiding place has been discovered. Patty makes a daring attempt to outwit the soldiers sent to sieze her. Audiences are thoroughly engrossed with her predicament. The film answers many of the questions raised by other recent motion pictures. Events foretold in the Bible as part of the Great Tribulation are vividly portrayed in A 'i DISTANT THUNDER.

Except for steelhead, which also spawn in early __ spring, smelt are one of the few fish available to anglers now, and they are easy to catch, literally by the bucketful. All that's needed is a state fishing license, a dip or small-mesh landing net for scooping up fish, waders in good repair and the patience to clean hundreds of the fish later. Smelt runs are heaviest when lake water temp­ eratures reach between 42 and 45 degrees. Best dipping is between II p.m. and 3 a.ni„ but many anglers have found that during their peak, usually lasting a week, runs often occur in daylight. This year's runs should be best in mid-to late-April in Lower Michigan ahd from mid-April to early May in the Upper Peninsula. Heaviest Michigan runs traditionally occur along Lake Huron, but some Lake Michigan and Superior tributaries also are excellent producers. Auto Club stated. Remember hand nets may be used for smelt up to one-half mile upstream from any river mnuth from May 1-May 31 south of Highway M-72 and from April 10-May 31 nori h of M-72.

Y-DIrector One penalty point will be added to a driver’s record when the motorist is determined to be traveling between 60 MPH and the posted limit. This differs from the former law, which prescribed only a monetary fine for such violations. Points were not assessed until the driver drove in excess of 70 MPH. * The new law should prove to be more equitable for all speeding violations at or above 60 MPH. Penalty points will continue to be added to drivers who exceed the previously posted limit. The more excessive the speeding violation, the greater t he number of points assessed. Haseltine noted current national estimates indicate a savings of approximately 40,000 lives since the 55 MPH speed law was first introduced in 1974. "The 55 MPH speed law was designed initially to save gas,” Haseltine said. “A more important savings, however, has been the reduction in the number of people who lose their lives on our highways simply because they are driving too fast." Haseltine said the savings in lives alone has made the 55 MPH speed limit a great success, at least in Michigan. Compliance with the 55 The Allegan All-Sports Boosters Club will sponsor 5 thousand and 10 thousand meter runs on paved and gravel roads through the Allegan State Forest Apr. 4. Registration tables open at 9 a.m. at the Allegan Jr. High Cafeteria, Sat. Apr. 4. Running starts at 1 pan. A trophy will be presented to the overall winner, 30 medals will be distributed equally throughout the mens and womens age groups. Courses for the 5 and 10 thousand meter runs were laid out by experienced runners. Shower facilities will be provided for participants. T-shirts will be given to the first 100 registrants.

MPH speed law has been gradually increasing. In 1976 studies indicated that 64% of Michigan motorists exceeded 55 MPH. But last year only 55.6% drove faster than ’he legally post­ ed 55 MPH. While Michigan express­ ways were constructed to handle traffic at 70 MPH, the slower speed greatly improves both fuel efficiency and overall safety.

April Fool Road Run Legislature Approves Speeding Points Michigan motorists will pay stiffer penalties for speeding on state highways thanks to a law going into effect April 1, 1981. Any motorist determined to be in violation of the 55 MPH speed limit by five miles-perhour or more will be penaliz­ ed by a fine and penalty points on their driving record. According to Office of Highway Safety Planning Executive Director Philip Haseltine, the new law will assure greater compliance with the state's speed limit. “Violation of the 55 MPH speed law continues to play a major role in the senseless loss of life on our highways," Haseltine said. “Addition of penalty points will mean that no one gets a break just because he or she is financially well-off and can easily pay the fine,” he added.

"In the morning of life, work; in the midday, give counsel; in the evening, pray." Greek Proverb ByWARRFNM HOYT U.S. Constitutional Revision Commission Proposed Lieutenant Governor James H. Brickley has proposed the r.-eation of a special national commission on constitutional revision to propose revisions in the operation of the federal government and to review the relationships between state, local and federal governments.In remarks delivered at the Institute of Politics at Harvard University, Brickley suggested the commission consist of 151 members. Those members would be selected by the president, congressional leaders, the U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice and each state governor. Brickley said the commission could take an opportunity to construct a better process in which issues can be resolved rather than trying to resolve the issues themselves. The fact that the call-to-arms for reform of political institutions has come, by and large, from those outside government reinforces the view that government has become paralytic. There are too many good ideas stemming from too many sources to let another decade pass without a sincere effort to modernize America's political institution," Brickley said. Legislator Says Washington Cases State Tax Tax Problems Michigan's tax problems stem from the federal, not the state government. Representative Michael Bennane (D-Detrort) believes. He said the state has lost nearly $90 billion in money sent to Washington but not returned as part of federal payments to the state. He noted the state lost 97 billion to the federal government in 1979 alone. To help the state's financial crisis, Bennane suggested a state savings bond program be instituted, similar to the U.S. savings bond program. Bennane said he would urge all citizens to sell their federal bonds and buy state bonds as a way of sending a message to Washington that "they're mad as heN." The Detroit legislator said the tax-cut­ ting efforts of Robert Tisch were misdirect­ ed. Tax-cutting efforts should be directed at Washington, he said. "Should a drastic tax cutting plan be adopted in Michigan it would only exacerbate the problem because even fewer federal dollars would come to the state " he said. State and local taxes account for about 124 percent of personal income which is about average for the states, Bennane said. Michigan, however, ranks last in the amount repaid to the state from the federal government. "Some states get as much as 43 or $4 for every 91 they send in taxes. Whereas in Michigan the highest we've ever gotten was 87 cents," he said. In 1979, the state got only 66 cents to the HnJIar. As a possible solution to the disparity of payments, Bennane suggested a constitutional amendment permitting long term bonds for state operations. Going to a savings bond system likely wouW not be popular, Bennane said, but it would provide an option to cutting programs. He said bond interest could be paid to holders during good economic times and the bonds sold during bad times to generate revenue. Bennane added some tax savings for bond holders would probably have to be SMILE TODAY ...Someone mey have sent you e happy ad I Dear JOI, Happy birthday March 28 to our favorite little four year old.

Working with Jndge Danford and providing him with forest management advice is Boyd Kahler, a 'orester with S.D. Warren Company of Muskegon. Judge Danford. retired from imce 1973, was selected the best of the 40,000 members of the Americso Tree Farm System is national competition conducted by the system’s sponsor, American Forest Institute. Michigan Judge Nation’s Best Tree Farmer An orphan who became a hobo, a lumberjack, a leatherworker, a college graduate, a teacher, a lawyer and a municipal judge has been named the nation’s Outstanding Tree Farmer of the Year for 1980. Judge Ormand S. Danford of Williamsburg. Mich., was selected for his efforts since 1959 in rehabilitating a 265 acre tract of what once was gullied, worn-out farmland and heavily cutover and grazed woodland. He represents the best of the 40,000 landowners who are members of the American Tree Farm System, a program conduct­ ed by American Forest In­ stitute (AFI) to encourage private landowners to manage woodlands and promote forest manage­ ment. Michigan Forest Products Council cosponsors the program in the Wolverins State. Michigan Governor William G. Milliken is recognizing Judge Danford for his achievement Thurs­ day Sept. 25, at the fovernor’s Forestry Jonfercnce in Houghton, Mich. The title of Outstand­ ing Tree Farmer of the Year 7 will be officially awarded to Judge Danford September 30 at the American Forestry Association's annual meeting in Dixville Notch, N.H. To win the national title, Judge Danford first was selected Michigan's and then North Central Tree Farmer of the Year. He edged out four other regional winners. Judge Danford retired from the bench in 1973. His wife, Madge, and their son and daughter have reforested more than 180 acres of their land since 1959, and have planted some 16,000 wildlife shrubs such as autumn olive and honeysuckle on the edges of forest stands. Although thinning and salvage operations over the last 21 years have produced fair amounts of pulpwood and firewood, only now is the Danford land ready to begin supplying substantial timber harvests. The Danfords also plan to start selling “cut your own’’ Christmas trees this year. Judge Danford continues to plant new stands of trees. Ask him why, when he may never live to see the trees grown, and he replies. “You’re probably right, but think how wonderful such trees would look now if some old codger had been foolish enough to do it 50 years ago!" Purchasing a used bull­ dozer and learning to operate it, Judge Danford has built 2’4 miles of fire protection and access roads and firebreaks. He also has built three fish and wildlife ponds on the Farm, to supply water for firefight­ ing. As a search for oil and natural gas spreads across northern Lower Michigan, it has left behind hundreds of abandoned “dry hole" sites. Judge Danford convinced a local oil and gas development company d the Michigan Department of Natural Resources to undertake a pilot program of planting the abandoned well sites and access roads with hybrid poplar and autumn olive, for wood production and wildlife habitat. The first site was planted earlier this year. "The cure for love is absence." Spanish Proverb To the Editor: In your March 11th issue of The Banner, front page, you had an article about the latest city council meeting It began with: “City fathers met," etc...Regardless of whether the council consists of only men or not (it doesn't), this term is not only archaic, it is sexist. What’s wrong with the term “the city council"? Sincerely, D. M. Paulauski Ask The Governor Ask The Governor recently that showed Mich * Governor: I do not agree. Although Michigan has desperately needed such forward steps as the recent reform of the workers * compensation and unemployment insurance systems, our state’s business climate is certainly not reflected accurately by the study you refer to. I am distrubed not only by the ranking given to us, but also by the factors used to determine the rankings. High labor union activity was considered a negative factor, for example, while no comparable positive points were awarded for the highly skilled labor force that such activity has produced. High wages were also accounted a negative with no compensat­ ing points given for the increased business activity stimulated by those wages. Relatively high state expenditures for education, again, were viewed as negative factors,' but the resulting knowledgeable work force so necessary in industry was discounted. Most people would regard large expenditures for education as a desirable feature. A highly educated work force is especially attractive to high-growth, technology-based industries. It comes as no surprise, considering these “negative" factcrs, that Mississippi ranked number one in that particular study while Michigan ranked last. Another major factor of advantage to Michigan which was not included in the study was the availability of water. All of the Sunbelt states which have recently become, very attractive to business are encountering increasing problems because of lack of water-as do most other parts of the nation except the Great Lakes. While I do not mean to diminsh our need for increased and diversified business activity, I do not believe this study accurately reflects Michigan's business climate. Question: What ever for state employees that were supposed to save no many layoffs and tax dollars? Governor: The first of six layoff days took place on Jan. 2 and the next will be March 20. About 47,500 employees are affected and I am pleased by the cooperation they have shown as well as the willing­ ness of Michigan residents to accept any inconvenience caused by the shutdown of state offices. As many as 200 jobs are retained by each oneway layoff, the first of which is estimated to have saved about $4 million. In addition, state employees have participated in a voluntary pay reduction plan to such a large extent that nearly 10 percent of all employees are now enrolled at a savings in cash outlay of $13.9 million on an annual­ ized basis.

Helen Curtis decorated her Nashville Protests Taxes By MARY LOU GRAY Nashville closed its doors to business today, Wed­ nesday, Mar. 25. in protest of what residents and businessmen call, “Unfair and unacceptable taxes.” The tiny village, nestled inthe agricultural belt of' eastern Barry County, boasts a population of just over 1,500 people. But, Nashville's "Tax Protest Day" attracted national attention. Popular national television programs "Good Morning, America” and the "Today” shows carried news of the tax revolt early Wednesday morning, as business owners, employees and village citizens prepared for the day. Ahmo Jordan, owner of the Country Corners Market, organized the tax protest day. Village assessments increased recently between 40 and 300 percent. Jordan hopes action taken in Nashville will help trigger general public awareness of growing dissatisfaction with insensitivity of state government to citizens and business. Continually skyrocketing tax accessments make staying in business harder and harder every day, Jordan observed. Small businesses are continually ■burdened with over-inflated and unreasonable business property taxes and many close their doors forever each day. Protestors want State Government to realize businesses will not continue to accept unreasonable assessments. The grass roots protest hopesto prove people still have a voice in government. Without dailytax ___ revenues from business, the state treasury would soon be exhausted. Protestors hope to illustrate the impact one day’s loss in tax revenue from a small community such as Nashville could have. Many people with signs walked the main street of downtown Nashville very early Wednesday morning. Signs' in windows of businesses proclaimed... "We're having a TAX REVOLT." Black ribbons hung on business doors and a black mourning wreath hung on the Maple Leaf Floral Shop door. Many citizens wore tri-cornered caps, remini­ scent of the style worn by our forefathers at the famous Boston Tea Party. Plans for the day include speakers representing business, farming and residential interests. They’ll speak in a "soapbox" forum. Tax revolt coordinator Ahmo Jordan is expected to reveal plans for the propos­ ed statewide closing of businesses to protest flower shop in the tradition­ • • • mourning tone, al• black using black ribbon between the slates of the white picket rihhwi — large Hack wreath an th flower shop dear.

In attition to the national morning television programs carrying news of the tax revolt, Jim Hickey from ABC in Chicago, and WXYZ, Channel 7, ABC, from Detroit had film rolling and were busily interview­ ing Mr. Jordan and other citizens. * ' •"‘nke.

The building was raised in 1860 and will serve its original function in the park’s 19th century village. “We’re still using it for our annual meetings and special meetings when we expect a crowd," said Town­ ship Supervisor Dick Thomas, 1510 Bachman Rd. He said the park has, “Want­ ed the building for a long time." The old building is located a mile-and-a-half east of the Bliss plant on Center Rd. Charlton Park will foot the bill for movement and restoration of the Township Hal). Thomas said. "The building is basically sound it leans a little, but that won’t be a problem, accord­ ing to people who’ve looked it over." Thomas said visitors would beable to simulate voting and other functions as local people did them a hundred years ago. Frank Walsh, Charlton Park Director, said details remain to be worked out, “But plans call for putting it out here near the school building." Walsh added the build­ ing would still serve as the official Hall for Hastings Township. “People would still come to the building to vote and for annual meetings." Walsh said no problems moving or restoring the building are anticipated. “It will make a nice addition to the village," he added. There’s a move afoot to donate the old Hastings Township Hall to Clmritea Park.

Some Rollbacks For County Taxpayers Just days after Nashville closed its doors to business in a day long tax revolt, residents learned of a tax rollback from 108% to 56%. According to Mrs. Justin Cooley, wife of Castleton Township Supervisor and tax assessor, a recalculation of figures of *>ale of commercial property result- ed in the rollback. The news was announced at the township annual meeting. In a conversation Monday morning Ardith Jordan, wife of tax protest leader Ahmo Jordan said news of the rollback came Thursday, the day after Nashville’s tax revolt. According to Mrs. Jordan, the plans continue MS Group To Form In Barry County The Michigan Chapter of he National Multiple Sclero­ sis Society is interested in forming a REMS group in the Barry County area. Throughout the state, MS patients and their families have organized into groups that are identified as REMS (Recreation and Education for Multiple Sclerosis) groups. The REMS groups can be a place where MS patients and their families meet regu­ larly to discuss mutual pro­ blems, to hear about the latest in research, treatment and health management and Members of an early (but th. tint) Sk.riH Department Re.eue Unit pned In front of their vehicle in the late 1960's. to participate in recreation and cultural activities.

Multiple Sclerosis is a disease of the central ner­ vous system that strikes young adults between the ages of 15 and 50. As yet the cause, prevention and cure for this disease is unknown. The National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Michigan Chapter, Inc. is a United Way of Michigan agency. for a state-wide tax protest, scheduled May 19, the same date as the state wide election on the Governor's tax cut proposal. Mrs. Jordan said “we have had letters from people all over the United States asking how the tax revolt began and how they can start one of their own." Letters came from California, Florida, Alabama, North Carolina, Minnesota, New York and many cities in Michigan. “People are so mad about so many things - they plan to take the government into their own hands," said Mrs. Jordan. “It seems like every­ time the State gets a little short of their funds, they decide to throw another tax on the people,** she continued. Plans, continue for the May 19, tax protest, “because we believe this isn't the end of the State raising taxes on us,** concluded Mrs. Jordan. According to Phyllis Jackson, Director of Barry County Equalization Office, there will be a rollback in the multiplier factor on commercial property in all townships with the except*, ion of Thornapple Township. In Assyria Township, the factor will be reduced from 1.73 to 1.45; Baltimore wiB go from 1.78 to 1.45; Barry Township drops from 2.15 to 1.58 and Carlton will go from 1.73 to 1.45. Castleton Township will be reduced from 2.08 to 1.56; Hastings Township will drop from 1.75 to 1.46; Hope, Irving, Johnstown, Maple Grove, Orangeville and Prairieville Townships will all drop from 1.73 to 1.45; Rutland wil lbs reduced from 1.51 to 1.37, Woodland Township will go from 1.34 to 129 and Yankee Springs Township will change from 1.87 to 1.50. The overall tentative true cash value has been reduced from 887,426,500 to 834,618,614, resulting in an average county wide multiplier factor reduction from 128 to 1.18. The State Equalized Value, county wide, for commercial property is changed from 818,713,275 to 817,876,018. County Equalization Director Jackson emphasized that them changes apply to commerdd classes only. From L ta r., Herb Burns Larry Gay. Trick.

Senator Riegle said: “The latest unemployment figures for Michigan show 604,000 people out of work, for a 14.2% jobless rate. Half those workers now collect either regular or extended unemployment benefits. But the tragic figures appear when we talk about the number of people no longer collectftg from either of the current jobless programs. A quarter million Michigan residents have completely exhausted their benefits without being able to find a new job in the severely depressed state economy. And the ME8C is projecting the number of “exhaustees** to climb at 20,000 per month in the near future," Reigie added. The Riegle-Levin bill would re-establish the Emergency Unemployment Comepnsation Act, which expired in 1978. The new legislation would provide a “third tier" of unemploy­ ment benefits for workers in states with severe “These workers have lost unemployment levels. jobs through no fault of their Under the Emergency own," said Riegle, “and after Unemployment they have exhausted the Compensation Act of 1981, current 39 weeks of jobless “exhaustees" living in states pay available to them, they with an insured often have no place to turn. unemployment rate of 5% or Few of these families are more would qualify for an ’ immediately eligible for additional 13 weeks of welfare--and in those 26 benefits, or a total of 52 states which do not cover weeks during which they families where both parents could draw unemployment are in the home, they will compensation. never be eligible," Riegle noted. Riegle added: “I realize our bill failed to pass at the end of the 96th Congress, and that the mood today is to cut, rather than to improve programs of this type.

Study Committee Recommends Schoool Millage On June Ballot The Hastings School Millage Advisory Committee Thursday voted 24 to 12 to recommend that the Hastings Board of Education put a millage proposal on the June school election ballot. ' The vote came at the end of several small group discussions by members of the special committee, which was set up to get citizen input on the schools’ financial problems. Committee Chairman Robert VanderVeen said that the committee did not resolve the question of what form the millage question should take. A motion to recommend that the proposal appear as one question was defeated by the committee 31 to 16. Another motion, that two separate millages be offered -one for athletes and one for basic academic purposeswas also defeated, 25 to 16, VanderVeen reported. Prior to the entire committee voting on the recommendation, the committee was divided into four smaller groups, which discussed the issue for about 40 minutes, VanderVeen said. The committee will meet again on April 23 to resolve the question of how the millage proposal or proposals should appear on the ballot. Also to be considered at the April 23 meeting are policies on accepted ear­ marked gifts for school purposes, and charging fees for extra-eurrieular activities.

Trick Doesn’t Want To Stop 28 Years Serving Hastings & The County By LARRY HAMP “When I was a young man I was interested mostly in weld'ng," said Gordon Trick, Deputy Police Chief in Hastings. So fle left the old W.K. Kellogg Agricultural School, just south of Hickory Corners to attend Cassidy Lake Technical School. But before Gordon could get a handle on welding, Unde Sam got a handle on Gordon. “I was drafted in 'forty-three," he said, adding, “I went to Iran - it was kind of a forgotten theatre - no one ever heard anything about it." Trick said his outfit, the 3474 ordinance company, “Doubled as everything - we fixed airplanes, trucks, tanks, jeeps - you name it, we fixed it." With things going badly for the Russians on the eastern front, many G.I.'s found themselves in Russia lending a hand. “We were sent up to Poltava to repair battle-damaged equipment," Trick said. Trick said Russians he met in Poltava were braggarts, self-centered, "And highly regimented G.I.’s couldn't have lived the way they did." He said a raw egg-eating contest with a Russian soldier left his stomach queasy. "But I wasn't going to let him show us up." Between them they consumed a bucket of raw eggs. After some difficulties mustering out, ("Even though I had enough rotation points I couldn't get home"), Gordon returned to the states, then went to Alaska. He joined the old Alaska Territorial Highway Patrol and was assigned to, “The Big Delta Post," 96 miles south of Fairbanks. Big Delta was a lot like the last place on earth. Summers were hot, humid and constant mosquito attacks; winter one long snow storm. But Trick entertained himself by racing dog teams and has many photographs from that period of his life. His aim was to transfer to the Kenai Peninsula, an area famous for its moderate climate and good farming. But it couldn't be arranged so Trick came back to the states, where in 1955, he took a job in Hastings. “Dick Sunior (then Hastings Police Chief) offer­ ed me a job on the Hastings force in fifty-five," Trick said, then with a laugh added. “He says it was fifty-four." Trick was a familiar sight on Hastings streets, often riding the old three-wheeler motorcycle. "I remember one bad ice storm when that thing got away from me," he said . State Street was paved with bricks in those days. Trick got a call about a loose bull. “I no sooner got the call and there was the bull - he'd jumped out of a trick at the stockyard on River Road.” Trick got off his motorcycle. "I was watching the bull - he was right there near Perk’s Barber Shop - I looked around and the bike was sliding away from me. “Just then a lady came along in a car," he continued, "And the bull charged me." Trick pulled his revolver and pointed it toward the bull. “The woman saw me point­ ing the gun in her direction and swerved her car." The automobile went out of control on the ice, Triik slipped and fell - so did the bull. “The last I .<aw of him, he was crossing the railrood trestle, heading up toward Piston Ring," Trick said. A county officer finally shot the bull, who'd, "Gone wild." about three weeks later some miles away. Trick worked about 3'h years for the city, then joined the Sheriff Depart- ment and served as chief deputy and undersheriff. He put in 15 years with the county and was the moving force behind establishment of the county rescue unit. "We started in sixty­ seven,** Trick said, recalling, “We took a bunk out of the old jail and welded it into the truck." Bob Ritter, Joe Black, Dick Abbey, Gene Brown and a fellow named Thompson were men making up the first unit. "I’ve often wished I had a picture of the first group," Trick said. Trick said the county felt a need for a rescue unit, “After a particularly bad drowning in Bump Lake -w e had a tough time recovering the victim." Recreational boating was booming at the time, “And with 327 named lakes in the county it was time for action." The original rescue unit vehicle is still in operation and used for the same purpose by the Sheriff today. "We put it together right, I guess," Trick said with a smile. Gordon Trick has seen a lot of change in Hastings and Barry County over the years. He recalls confrontation with armed criminals, and in particular, a shoot-out in Delton where more than 400 shots were fired. “It was quite a sight- the whole front end of the Delton hardware was shot out," Trick said. Tear gas was eventually used to flush two men inside the store. "Officers from all over the area were there, and everyone was shooting,** Trick said. No one was hit in the barrage. Gordon Trick’s had 28 years in law enforcement and insists he's not ready, “To call it quits yet." He lives west of Hastings with his wife Nila. They have a son in the Marine Corps at Twenty-nine Palms, Ca., and a married daughter in Middleville. Gordon has two daughters from a former marriage, both are married and live out of the area. Gordon Trick stands next to a county cruiser during his days on the road for the Barry County Sheriff's Department. “Those were good days - I made a lot of friends," he commented while searching through his memorabilia. Trick served 15 years with the sheriff after a three year stint with city police. He rejoined the city department and is now deputy chief. �TffiHASTINGS BANNEB, Mon.

"Our goal was $2,000 - so we accomplished that. However, what really made us happy was the support of nearly every group on campus. The turn­ out was terrific." Sponsored by the Panhellenic Council - the governing body of all six sororities on campus, the event drew more than $.000 people. "It’s difficult to estimate the amount of people who came to watch the 17 couples dance.” Sarya said. "But we earned more than $200 from the 10-cent admission prices. Most people came twice." Of the 17 couples which began the endurance test, seven survived. The first couple to sign up for the marathon - that of Mary Leiby, Lansing fresh­ man and Scott Harrison, Milford sophomore • won because they garnered the most money in pledges. In second place was the third couple of Anne Lund­ quist. Kalamazoo sopho­ more. and Dave Gault. Bu­ chanan junior. Third place finishers were Heather Bale, Iron Mountain freshman, and Bill Baxter, Hastings freshman the second couple to sign up for the contest. “The dance was intended to raise money for books for the Seeley G.

This pro­ ject - which showed the kids that the money was going for a good cause at home accomplished both goals."

March 30,1981, Pago 3 Selected for Crop Insurance Farmers in Barry County can now obtain subsidized Federal Crop Insurance against a partial or total loss of their 1981 crops. The county is one of 250 in which insurance is being offered for the first time as part of a nationwide expan­ sion authorized by Congress. Policies are currently available for Corn and Oats according to Harlan Stull, Federal Crop Insurance Cor­ poration District Director. Under the new program, the Federal government pays up to 30 percent of the insurance premium of policyholders who do not elect to participate in the separate USDA disaster payments program. Farmers who participate in the disaster psyment program on an insured crop may purchase insurance but are not eligible for the subsidy. After the 1981 crop year, the disaster payment program will be ended. Federal Crop Insurance is designed to enable farmers to insure a part or all of the money they invest in their crops against loss due to all unavoidable causes. Policies can also be used as loan collateral to assure funds for payment in a poor crop year Stull says. an additional premium dis­ count when the hail and fire coverage of the FCIC policy is replaced with an equal or larger amount of private Policyholders can elect to hail and fire insurance. insure 50 percent, 65 per­ For information about the cent or 75 percent of their subsidized insurance the average crop yields.

It’s a comedy, but it is a drama as well, and the two aspects are interestingly intertwined. Mostly, it's a story about people-real, believable folks like you and I see every day. The central characters are a couple in their retirement years, and the drama revolves around the relations between them and their daughter, their son-in-law to be, and the son-in-law's 13-year-old son. Loma Window, who has appeared in a fistful of True Grist's better productions, makes "On Golden Pond" work. As the middle-aged-make that almost elderly-Mrs. Thayer her character is essential to the play's vitality. And her adept handling of both light and serious situations really supports the rest of the cast. She is rarely overbearing, but always important. Mrs. Winslow's mate is played by True Grist owner Jim Miller, who has a long list of theater credits. Perhaps we should say underplayed. Jim is a team player, which is . important in theater, but he nearly underemphasizes the importance and influence of one of the play's main characters. The night we saw the play, we thought he missed a few laughs because his delivery of the humorous lines may have been too subtle. Lynn Westerman and Paul Kerr, two old hands at True Grist, are alway dependable. Lynn fits right in as the daughter contemplat­ ing her second marriage. Kerr had the real comic role as the backwoods mail carrier who can be a naive buffoon, h's a juicy part-one which any aspiring comedian would relish. The whole production adds up to a pleasant evening at Homer. The play itself has so many facets that we would like to see it again, with different actors and different interpretations. We think "On Golden Pond” will become a standard script for other theaters, because it is both delightful and thought-provoking. There is only one problem with True Grist. The food just keeps getting better and better, and dinner alone is well worth the price of the entire evening's entertainment. If it gets much better, it may overshadow the action on stage.

The vocal ensembles, under the direction of Robert. C. Oster, were among 28 school choirs to perform throughout the day. Each group was judged by three adjudicators and one sight reading judge for a total of four ratings, resulting in one overall rating. The concert choir received ail superior ratings and was one of only five choirs all day to receive this recognition. Judges comments included, "A lovely sound; good vowels, breath support and ensemble. A fine choir." The group was hailed as “having achieved a high degree of excellence." As a result of their performance the group was invited to attend the State Choral Festival in Okemos on Mly 9, and perform among the finest choirs throughout the state. The men’s and women's group participated in this festival for comments only, and subsequently did not receive ratings. Both groups however, performed well and displayed a high caliber of musicianship and vocal ability.

March 30,1981, Page 8 Fastpitch or Slo-pitch - A Game for Everyone By LARRY HAMP Thanksgiving Day, 1887 Chicago. It’s cold outside. The bitter November winds howl in off Lake Michigan and yachtsmen at the Farragut Boat Club have found a way to pass time until the ice breaks-up. Devising an indoor, diamond-shaped field and using a. boxing glove for a ball, they’re created a new form of an old game. The English get credit for the idea of striking a ball and reaching a “goal" before being “put out." For centuries the English played “Rounders". Town Ball was another variation of the game and it came to America as “Old One Cat.” First printed mention of baseball is in “A Pretty Little Pocketbook," published in 1744. A verse in the book reads: The ball once struck off. Away flies the boy To the next destined post. And then home with joy. writer of the verse is unknown, but he was describing a form of baseball without a double. When (and if)- Abner Doubleday marked-out the first baseball diamond in 1839, he began a sport which, with a hundred variations, would eventually consume the country. Lewis Rober, a fireman with the Minneapolis department, is given credit for a major role in develop­ ing modern softball. He handmade the first ball, then organized co-workers into teams. They played in their free time. Rober helped organize the first softball league, also in Minneapolis, in 1900. First set of published rules came in 1906. The game kept growing, slowly, but with many variations. Then, in the '20*. growth of the sport quickened, and the game was named - by a Denver YMCA official, Walter Hakanson. The term softball was officially adopted in 1933 when the Amateur Softball Association of America (ASA) was born. Depression struck America hard in lat 1929. What was bad for the nation in most ways, was good for softball. Growth in the depression years was rapid rules were changed, modified and standardized. Pitching variations, many now outlawed, helped develop the fastpitch game. Paul “Windmill" Watson developed the circular windup and extreme speed of modern fastpitch ball. Earlier, pitchers used a “Slingshot" motion. Slingshot pitchers are rare these days, though a former Michigan great can stfll be seen in action in Moline’s Class B league, Thursday nights. Bill Cummings, a Massachusetts pitcher, is said to be the man who developed spins on pitches. He credited observation of the flight of clam shells thrown in the ocean with giving him an idea. The Chicago World’s Fair in 1933 was site of the first national softball championship tournaments. Men's and Women’s been recognized by the divisions slugged it out.

The team had a poor turnout this spring with only 87 boys out, compared to 65-75 usually starting the season. Despite the small turnout, coach McDowell is pleased with the boys saying "There is very little of the horseplay you always get on a large team. The boys have a good attitude and are hard workers." Having only five return­ ing lettermen and six se­ niors on the team, McDowell has a young group and some underclassmen will get a shot at starting positions.

Trout, Coho, Steelhead On Move The hottest fishing is the Cook Nuclear Plant near Bridgeman. Many anglers are taking limit catches. Most fish are brown trout and coho salmon, with an occasional steelhead being taken. Bottom fishing with spawn is producing most of the catch. When weather and lake conditions are favorable, pier fishing has been pro­ ductive at New Buffalo, St. Joseph, South Haven and Saugatuck. Brown trout are most numerous in the pier catches, particularly at Sau­ gatuck, but coho salmon and steelhead are also available. Spawn and night crawlers have produced the most fish from the piers, but spoons and spinners arc also effec­ tive. Colder weather last week slowed down fishing on ma­ jor tributaries to Lake Mich­ igan. However, the warm weather and increasing water temperatures should increase fishing success on steelhead and brown trout this weekend. Best spots in Black River, the St. Joseph River near Berrien Springs, and the Galien River. this area are the Rabbit River near Hamilton, the Kalamazoo River near the Allegan Dam, the Middle and South Branches of the HHS Alumni 50th Anniversary The class of 1931 commit­ tee is still looking for a few addresses of the following graduates: Ida Swartz, Earl Boulter, Teresa Peterson, Erma Bush.

By LARRY HAMP Reagan budget -cutter David Stockman has proposed cuts that will gut the Veteran's Administ­ ration’s nationwide network of storefront counselling centers. The move could leave up to half-a-million emotionally troubled Viet Nam combat veterans with nowhere to turn for help. Stockman's plan cuts funding for 91 store front counselling centers in Sept. They were set up to aid vets troubled by Post Traumatic Shock Syndrome - known to many as Viet Nam Syndrome. Two centers are located in Detroit, one is planned for Grand Rapids. Recent news reports indicate Viet Nam veterans are not re-integrating in society. Heavy combat veterans of the SE Asia confict are contributing heavily to the national crime rate. Twenty-four percent of Viet Nam's heavy combat vets have been arrested on criminal charges since coming home. One-third of heavy combat vets are still experiencing delayed stress reactions, according to a recent federally-funded report. The Center for Policy Research in New York City said studies show, “Abnormally high numbers of these veterans are beset by severe emotional problems.” Most common problems include alcohol and drug abuse, health problems including numbness, combat flashbacks, extreme anxiety, guilt feelings, nightmares and panic. Symptoms often show up years after combat experiences. Viet Nam Syndrome can, and often does, lead to violence. One person who works closely with PTSS cases admits sufferers need counselling and can be very dangerous. The Center for Policy Research study places their numbers in the hundreds of thousands. Veteran's Administration counselling centers have reported success dealing with the syndrome. The Outpatient Clinic in Toledo, 0., a satellite of the Ann Arbor VA Medical Center, reports they’re, “successful­ ly helping vets readjust.” Dr. Hy Kisin, director of the clinic’s psychiatry section, noted, “Many Viet Nam Syndrome symptoms had survival value in Southeast Asia," then added, “Sleeplessness lingered after the nocturnal war when staying awake often meant staying alive." Kisin said soldiers often took up drugs: hereoin, morphine, opium, pot “Because they needed to numb their emotions - you need something in combat situations that often mean shooting at women and children.” A further cause of Viet Nam Snydrome is inability of the vet to tell his story. Most often, no one wants to hear about what’s come to be known as the nation's most unpopular war. In fact, Viet Nam vets are the first to come home to a cold shoulder. Soldiers from the Revolution through Korea came home heroes, though society tired of them rapidly. But these vets h’-ve come to feel they were suckered into the wront war, in the wrong place, at the wrong time. And’ there's growing concern among them they’re •been poisoned by their own government. Thousands of vets are turning themselves in to VA Medical Centers for a battery of tests designed to learn what effects Agent Orange has had on those contaminated. A spokesman for the Battle Creek VA Hospital, Dr. Van Dyke, said, “There is no test to determine if a man or woman came in contact with Agent Orange." He said many vets fear a connection between contamination with Agent Orange and irritable, irrational and violent behavior. VanDyke stresses the fact there is no proven connection. "There's just not enough sample to make a determination - getting enough data could take years, it will require a lot of examinations and a lot of study," VanDyke said. Another official at the Battle Creek VA facility, David Manning, represents the American Legion. He said vets who fear they’re been in contact with Agent Orange should contact the VA for testing. "Tbe tests could prove important down the road if it is determined Agent Orange is harmful," Manning said. Manning said disability claims can be filed citing Viet Nam Syndrome. "A ssuiis.h j° qrnos s*inu *->j w p^j ItutsHuu itpfavj «« jpuqnom pp s?M1 legitimate claim with evidence to back it up has a good chance for success." Manning said. He added, "Claims can be initiated by calling the VA toll-free Detroit number (1-800-4820740) where a trained counsellor will answer." Tn addition, according to Dr. Kisin, Vietnam Stress Syndrome has been used as a legal defense in criminal proceedings, "With some success." He adds many Viet Nam Vets mistrust the “System" but hopes they'll, “Be able to come to grips with what they did and didn’t do in Viet Nam.” Many, far too many, Viet Nam Veterans have proven to be timebombs - unable to cope with themselves or society without heavy-duty assistance. Local vets can also contact Barry County counsellor June Richardson, or call the VA Hospital in Battle Creek at 966-5600. The American Legion. Amvets. VFW and DAV will help veterans . initiate claims. Other Embezzlement Charge Settled According to the United States Prosecuting Attorney's" Office in Grand Rapids. Charlene Ann Keller, 44, of Hastings, pled guilty Monday, March 30, in the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan, to a charge of bank fraud and embezzlement. The charge states she "Knowingly and willfully embezzled and misapplied the sum of approximately $36,637.82 from the Hastings City Bank" from on or about May 5,1976 to on or about August 6, 1980. She was earlier arraigned before Hugh Brenneman, United States Magistrate, and pled guilty Monday before United States District Judge Douglas Hillman. Bond was set at $1,000.00 personal recognizance. Sentencing is scheduled to be within 60 day? of the date of the plea. No specific date has been set as yet. Maximum penalty for the offense is $5,000.00 fine or five years imprisonment or both. 1861 we’re spreading the shock," agreed Board Member John Barnett. Miss Oehler said that with raises due, it would take $19,022.78 to continue the employment of part-time help at the same level as the current year. Thus, the $13,130 amount she had suggested already present­ ed a cut of almost $6,000. One part-time employee, who earns about $6,000 a year, was recently given her termination notice. Mrs. Begg asked what the effect would be if the raises were limited to six percent, instead of the eight percent which has been proposed. She indicated she would like discussion on that possibility at a future meeting. Some board members also mentioned that they would like to see a detailed plan at a future meeting of just how the part-time help wil Ibe scheduled to enable the library to stay within its 1981-82 budget. The next regular meeting of the Library Board is scheduled for April 22. IHdV Jdjueg Library Board Makes Budget Cuts $25 from program, publicity, promotion, $40 from fire and windstorm insurance, $300 from building maintenance, $200 from equipment maintenance, $100 from copy machine supplies and repair, $100 from periodicals and newspapers, and $10 from membership and dues. Items not cut included the salary of the full-time staff at $29,400, maintenance wages of $2,270, Lakeland Federation membership dues of $2,500 and utilities $3,750. Commenting on the city’s decision to cut tbe library funds, Board Chairman Clifford Dolan said, “Blither we accept what the (finance) committee said and don't fight it, or we go to the city council and fight it. "They're cutting us from $37,000 to $33,000. We had asked for $40,700." Dolan concluded. "We don’t stand much chance of getting any more money out of the city." Head Librarian Eileen Oehler explained that the city was in a difficult position because of the uncertainty of the assess­ ment situation. Since eity residential assessment apparently will be increased again, she noted, city revenues may be healthier than originally thought. Board Member Jackie Begg said, “If we push too hard, we might end up hurting ourselves." There appeared to be little indinationjo go to the city coundl and fight for increasing funding. The proposed budget presented to the board Tuesday by Miss Oehler contained no provision for the purchase of books.Dolan said that he expected that some book purchases would be possible from contributions and from the memorial fund which is used as a reserve. Mrs. Begg and Board Member Linda Lincolnhol said they thought that some money should be budgeted for book purchase, and further cuts made in parttime staff wages. “This indicates to the council that 8i*»j ««’i«w -*h IFRS ■’PHI JO >n0 8UIO3 °1 PPJJV WV S5II°d 3UI0S T The Hastings Library Board, faced with the likelihood that the library will get less money from the city than it did last year, dealt with the -problem Tuesday of cutting the budget to keep expenses in line with revenues. In an hour-long meeting, the board .upped more than S7.000 off the budget originally submitted to the city-a budget board members already consider­ ed very lean. The board had originally budgeted on the hope that the library would get 540,700 from the <ity, up from $37,000 in the current fiscal year which ends June 30. Instead, the word came back from the council finance committee that the library could expect only $33,000 in the 1981-82 fiscal year. Cuts were made in most expense categories, but the largest came from the parttime salary and wage account. According to the budget approved by the board Tuesday, $11,130 will be spent on part-time help, instead of the $16,200 originally budgeted. The next biggest slash came in the books account, from which new books are purchased for the library. This was trimmed from $3,505 to $2,000. Tn discussion, board members expressed the hope that contributions to the library would enable the purchase of more books than that, and that the books account could be augmented by funds which have accumulated in the memorial fund. The total operating budget for the library for the 1981-82 fiscal year will be $56,690, down from the $63,790 budget originally prepared. Library officials indicated that they had made substantial cuts to keep the original budget at $63,790. Among the other cuts made in the budget approved Tuesday were $50 from postage. $200 from operating supplies, $100 from audio visual materials, »««•««“ ~~_______________ The Hastings Devoted to the Interests of Barry County Since 1858 K — VoL 126, No. 26, programs from 1946 until his retirement last year.

April 1,1981 How City Tax Increase Stands No one really knows exactly where the forthcom­ ing increase in city tax assessments stands today. City officials released a statement last week saying owners of residential property in the city, “May receive an additional increase in...assessed valuation of about 5.25 percent," when final figures are received from county officials next month. City Board of Review chairman Russell Doty said there, “Is no guarantee., the projected 5.25 percent additional increase...will be the final figure...assigned to the city.” Doty said the anticipated increase will be in, “Addition come back to say helb to to the...increase residential Bob." Carlson said plans call property owners received in for a retirement gift, February." Erroneous underwritten by public contributions.

King was Director of local Y Banner figures in the February statement resulted from an error at the county Equalization Department, when some figures were not entered in the 2 */» year sales study. Doty said the anticipated increase in valuations is based on a requirement that Hastings' state equalized valuation must total almost $20 million. According to city Assessor Michael Payne equalized valuation of a home assessed at $10' thousand in 1980, would rise to $11,200 this year. Last business day for filing protests with the Board of Review is Friday, Apr. 3, or at least one month Before taxpayers will know how much tax they must pay. \ But Doty told the Banner no notices of the increased assessments would be mailed to property owners. He said the city, “Is under no legal obligation to mail new notices," then added. “Besides the high cost of mailing new notices, we don't want to send them because we really don't know what the final figure will be." �THE HASTINGS BANNER.

Page 3 Hastings Troopers Are Well Trained By MARY LOU GRAY Edward Buikema, Kenneth Langford and Steve Miller, troopers assigned to the Hastings State Police Post, recently completed a two week Advanced Accident Invest­ igation School at the State Police Training Academy in Lansing. Training is sponsored by Northwestern . Traffic Institute. Advanced Accident Investigation Schoo] enhances the skills of officers investigating traffic accidents. Sometimes accidents get complicated, particularly when parties involved blame each other. Troopers are trained to interpret damage to vehicles by analyzing point of impact and direction of force. Train- ing in computing speed of vehicles from marks left in the roadway is provided. Troopers learn to make scale drawings of accidents. Various measuring methods were studied to more accurately place vehicles involved in accidents. Information is filed for future reference. Methods were taught for using debris at the accident scene to determine paths of vehicles involved. Photography is an importtant part of accident invest­ igation. Troopers were instructed on how and what to photograph, using a grid to illustrate size. The grid, a known unit of measurement, is placed and photographed at the accident scene. It provides troopers with TROOPER KENNETH LANGFORD TROOPER EDWARD BUIKEMA TROOPER AL McCRUMB accurate size and distance factors to assist in making a scale drawing of the scone. Troopers learned how to examine head and tail lamps of autos. This training enables them to determ’ne if a lamp which was broken on impact was operating before the accident. Factors in road construction, gauge the amount of friction between tire and road. Critical speed for a given curve can be determined as can maximum speed before a vehicle goes into a slide, by applying drag factors and utilizing formulas provided. .If a vehicle is airborne in an accident, a determination of its speed can be made by measuring distance the vehicle travel? from the point it becomes airborne to its resting place. State Police have a policy requiring accident reconstructionists to be call­ ed to the scene of any fatal automobile accident State Police investigate. State Police will assist in accident reconstruction for other departments if they are requested to do so. Trooper Miller, 37, is from I Lawrence, Mi., and was a 1962 graduate of Lawrence High School. He attended Western Michigan University for two years and studied math. He joined the Michigan State Police in 1969, and served at the Romeo and Ypsilanti posts before coming to Hastings in June, 1975. He was one of the original eight Hastings Troopers. Miller has trained in Radiological Monitering equipment. Radar and Juvenile Procedures. He was a juvenile officer in Ypsilanti for one year. Trooper Miller and his wife Sharon live in rural Hastings. Trooper Buikema, 29, is from Grand Rapids. He graduated from South Christian High School, Cutlerville, in 1970. He graduated from Calvin College with a BA in Political Science in 1974. Buikema became a Trooper in 1975, serving at Paw Paw, Niles and Detroit posts before coming to Hastings in February, 1978. Since joining the State Police, Buikema has attend­ ed Radiological Monitering School where he learned to detect radiation levels and measure levels of radio­ activity in the event of a nuclear accident. He also attended Breathalizer School and is a Certified Breathalizer Operator. Breatbaiizer school teaches officers the principles behind the operation of the test and how it is administered. Only sworn police officers can operate Certified Breathalizers. Buikema said 52,577 people were arrested in Michigan in one year fcr various levels of driving while intoxicated. A reading of .08 to .09 on the breathalizer scale is consid­ ered “impaired" while .10 and above is considered “under the influence." Of the 52,577 arrested, 7% were in the "impaired" category while 93% were registered at .10 or above. Of those in the 93% class, 70% registered .15 level of intoxication or above. Buikema and his wife Deb have two children, Tom and Jane. Trooper Langford, 34, hails from Saxonburg, Penn­ sylvania. He graduated in 1964 from Lock High School; He attended Geneva College in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvia, and joined the Mich­ igan State Police in 1968, serving at Jackson and Lansing. Langford came to Hastings in 1975 and was one of the original 8 Troopers comprising the 1st State Police Team Concept in Michigan. Langford also attended Breathalizer School and is a certified operator. He attended Radar Instruction School to qualify as instructor of other troopers in operation of radar equipment. Langford and his wife Vicki have two children, Cindy and Kim. State Trooper Al Me Crumb recently completed a four day school in arson investigation, sponsored by the IAAI (International Association of Arson Investigators) at the State MacLeod & Henning Police Academy in E. Lansing. Arson is a growing problem and many tie the increase to our declining economy. First step investigating a suspicious fire is to rule out natural causes, leaving arson as a last investigation. Natural causes can be child­ ren playing with matches, smoking in bed. electrical wiring, heating equipment or small appliances, Although arson is difficult to cover-up, it is one of the hardest crimes to prove. Trained arson investigators are needed. When arson is suspected, traces can be found even should a building burn to the ground. Trained investigators conduct indepth investiga­ tions to gather sufficient evidence for conviction. Through good training, in-depth investigation and expert testimony arson can be proved and a conviction made. Pathologists are able to determine how fire spread over a victim whether the victim was standing or attempting to exit.

Our history has clearly demonstrated the wrongness of Disraeli's words, "Assassination has never changed the history of the world." Uncoin's assassination deprived the country of the guidance of a great heater and one of our three greatest leaders. His successor was impeached, and his successor was U.S. Grant. McKinley's assassination unleashed great force-Theodore Roosevelt. For good or ill Roosevelt radically altered the course of our nation in the world with repercussions still being felt. The death of JFK was closely followed by reversal of his announced (and put into action) policy of troop withdrawal from the war in Viet Nam. The Tonkin Gulf resolution followed, as did ten years of war and defeat for American arms. Saddest part of this essay in murder is we can offer no answers, propose no cure and often feel we can offer no sincere words of encouragement. It's hard to accept such events occuring in this land we love so much. But we're encouraged by words of English philosopher Sir Alistair Hardy, "Hope is the only incentive fot sustained change." Let's hope it stops now. Circus At Kalamazoo MAIN OFFICE 138 E. State St..

Attempts have been made on the lives of seven American Presidents in this century. Two have dtsd under the assassin's gun. A United States Senator was shot down at the moment of victory assuring him his party's Presidential nomination. A popular minority party candidate was seriously wounded and crippled for life. A songwriter and poet was slaughtered by a man he befriended. The words seem like headlines describ­ ing the 20th century in a Latin American banana republic; or political history of the medieval Italian states. We'd like to believe it isn't the news as made in the United States of America. Sadly, we seem unable to repress the sanguinity of our often necessarily violent past. Nor do our assassins give thought to party, politics or philosophy. Young Hinckley apparently had designs on the life of Jimmy Carter, but was foiled before he could squeeze the trigger. Liberals, moderates, conservatives, Republicans, Democrats and American Independents-all are fair game. This violence is not a resurgence, but a continuation of man's basic hostility towards Quarter-Ring Sidewalk Two Locations to Serve You ASTIWS right: Brent Patrol Posing by a simulated campfire are Brent Tracy (left) who received the 2nd class scout award and David Bachman who received the 1st class scout award.

The Royal Lichtenstein Quarter-Ring Sidewalk Circus will perform on the Kalamazoo College Quadrangle Monday, Apr. 6, at 4 p.m. Now on its ninth annual national tour, the circus will offer an expanded menagerie, an aerial act, jugglers. acrobats, magacians, clowns and mime fables. The circus is free and open to the public. Considered the world’s smallest complete circus, the Sidewalk Circus will feature the acrobatic and juggling acts of Steve Vacha from Lincoln, Nebraska; the rola bola skills and single trapeze act of Stephen Desaulniers from Albuquerque. New Mexico; illusions by Chris French from Sacramento, California; and sleight of hand and eccentric juggling by John O'Laughlin from Denver, Colorado. Ringmaster-founder Nick Weber, a Jesuit preist who calls himself the world’s only bearded fire-eater, also will direct five diLvrent species of trained animals. The Royal Lichtenstein Circus includes two narrated mime fables in its unique format. “Neighbors” recounts the adventures of a rodent odd couple as they practice the Golden Rule. "The Impossible Steam" depicts the struggle between an extremely altruistic and idealistic switch-engine against the challenges of work-a-day reality. The fifteen acts in the hour-long performance have been described by TIME magazine as "an amiable blend of circus tricks and low key morality plays." -18% WBCH �West Woodland News By VICTOR SISSON a check up and observation hope all my readers got to A thought for the week. and is now at home and watch TV and follow the Economy is a way of doing well. developments.

He forgot he had a can of gasoline in the truck with the wood. He saw it going out with the wood and grabbed for it. He could not reach it. and followed it into the basement. Just inside was a water heater with an open flame. Enough of the gas spilled out to catch fire and as Roger grabbed the can it exploded. He managed to get back out of the base­ ment, taking the blazing can with him. The fire was soon extinguished, only a portion of the basement ceiling being scorched. Roger suffered first degree bums on ihe insides of both arms on t he neck and face. He was rushed to Emergency at Pennock Hospital where first aid treatment was given, then returnee home.

I’m sitting here reading my daily paper, "Ronnie" is cutting the poverty line level to under 43 percent, using a figure of $7,000.00 as the poverty line. (Then he has the gall to say the poor are not going to be hurt.) By reducing federal spending for public assistance, he’s going to strip these lowincome families of what little bit they do have, make .cuts in the Medicaid programs (we’re just getting it to where some people are getting medical attention that could never have it 1 before), food stamps, aid to families with dependent children, and any other program that helps those who need it. They're crying because the Social Security program is going broke. Well, I don’t pretend to be a politkan, but even I can tell how to finance this program. To me this is I the most unfair tax we pay. I Don't get me wrong, I do not mind paying it, what I do mind is the way it is paid. Again it is the low or middle-class income people that support this program. I I know there are very few people in the labor force that makes enough money to pay their S.S. tax in full each year. The only fair way to pay S.S. tax is on your total income. There are those that disagree with me, but you can bet they're the ones that earn over the maximum. If a person makes forty, fiftj. or a hundred thousand dollars a year why shouldn't he pay on the full amount that you and pay on our full year’s income. Who more than the President of General Motors, Bell Telephone, Gulf & Western, The Oil Companies, and all the other .conglomerates in our f>ne country can afford to pay. Just think about that a bit.

Next question, when it comes time for the two of you to receive the benefits, who’s going to received the most? Right, he is and he is also drawing a pension many times over the amount that the poverty line is. I make very good wages, and this I am gratefu1 for. I pay my share of S.S. tax with no complaints, but other people should be made to do the same. What really triggered this letter is, here I am reading how David, and Ronnie, are planning ways to cut what little bit some of our people have now, and here comes a NEWS BREAK on T.V. "It has just been announced that $700,000.00 has been appropriated to redecorate the White House" I bet Ronnie and Nancy, think we’re trying to make them shop at a discount store on this small budget. This is the guy that thinks $3.10 is to high of a mininum wage, thinks unemployment is a paid vacation, doesn't think you should receive a decent pension so you can live in comfort in your retirement years, (in fact he doesn't think you should retire until you’re ready for the rocking chair).

Muehlhausen, vice president of marketing, Steiger Tractor, Inc. He told 1,000 farmers, representatives, and state legislators during the Governor's Conference on Agriculture April 2, in Lansing. "The transition into greater prosperity will not necessarily be smooth," he told the group. “There will be some problems...some crisis ahead. Questions on controversial subjects like agricultural chemicals, farm labor and agricultural research will have to be answered." Muehlhausen said, “The other energy crisis" is with us today, since 500 million people are seriously malnourished; another two billion do not get enough tn eat. Technology has helped avert widespread famine to date, he said. “Back in 1600, it took a man eight-12 hour days to spade an acre of land," Mr. Muehlhausen said. “Today, a farmer using a high-horsepower, fourwheel-drive tractor can do it in 12 ’/» minutes." Muehlhausen cited statistics to illustrate his 30 minute audio/visual presentaiton. Among them: number only 2/10 of 1 percent of world population, but produce food for 25 percent of the world. Just 27 percent - or 625,000 American farmers produce 83 percent of all U.S. food and fiber. American farmers are the nation's best exporters. Their $40 billion contribution to our balance of payments pays for over half the oil we import. Obstacles cited to meeting and overcoming world food crisis include: population boom and increased demand for better diets around the world, energy shortage, andfalling water tables. American farmers also face inflation, over-regulation and research cutbacks. “I believe we'll continue to do our best to meet world food demand," Muehlhausen said, "because America has the .American farmer, and his unparalleled capacity to produce. He puts it all together;technology, capita], labor, management, and one more demerit that makes all the difference in the world - the pride of working for himself under the free enterprise system. “One thing is certain,” he concluded. "The .world will be watching to see how weD America-the land with the resources, the technology, and the marvelous productivity of the American farmer-does respond to 'the other energy crisis.’ ” Lime And Fertilizer Needed For Growth Spring is approaching and Lakes time for it to react crops need to be fed.

Saxon baseball coach Bernie Oom has picked his team, but isn't sure about who will occupy what position when the season opens against Delton Apr. 15. Three days later the Saxons meet Sturgis for a league opening double-head­ ed. “Sturgis should be the league powerhouse," Oom commented, adding, "Jackson Northwest and Coldwater will be up top, too." Oom had his squad doing hot box drills and field fly balls. Five lettermen return to the Hastings team this season. The five returning Lettermen are Bob Hause. Paul Smith, Chris Forman, Chris Hamilton and John Karpinski. Hause, a senior, returns as a regular pitcher. Oom said he, “Had quite a few starts last year, did a good job, and lost some very close games." He can play the outfield and is, “An excellent hitter.” according to coach Oom. Chris Forman and Paul Smith, seniors, are, “Battl­ ing right down to the wire for catching duties." Oom said. He added they could share time behind the plate. Forman can also play third base. Oom said Hamilton, reserve 2nd baseman last year, has lot s of hustle. “He has desire and works hard to improve." John Karpinski, short­ stop, is a senior. “He’s experienced and a good sharp hitter," Oom said. Karpinski hit .275 last season. Other infielders are Bruce Meyers, described by Oom as. “A scrappy little hitter." and Wade Dakin. Oom said there is, "Plenty of competition for the positions." Mike Meyers, a senior out for the first timer Dan Roscoe, sr., Steve Morgan, jr., and Bruce Anderson are the squad's outfielders. This will be Roscoe’s first year of varsity play. Morgan, “Is a solid out-fielder," Oom said. Junior pitcher Mark Larsen, Dann Howitt and Eric Shaeffer, all up from the JV’s, will join Hause in the pitching rotation. Oom said sophomore Tom Finnie on the Jr. Varsity, may see some varsity play this year." All three newcomers ut righthanders. Howitt and Larsen can also play third, according to coach Oom. and Howitt plays in the outfield. Shaeffer doubles in the outfield. Oom said people are getting, “An opportunity to try out at several positions and we’re improving our depth.** The Saxons scrimmaged We* Vandenberg’s Lakewood Vikings Monday, and Oom pronounced himself satisfied with progress to date. “The kids played well, it looks like we could have a good ball team." He added the team has, “A lot of raw ability and potential, it just depends on how hard they work."

Anderson said all the girls will get plenty of playing time as several back-up infield positions. "Dee Lowell is our back- up catcher," Anderson said, “Lisa Cole backs-up second base." Pitching duties will be handled by Michelle Blair, sr., who appears to have good speed, good control and several good pitches. She’ll be backed by either, “Sue Neil, Lisa Cole or Teresa Hause - depending on the situation," Anderson said.

Similarly the threat of death does not seem to be deterring murder, kidnap, and mayhem. And we submit the death penalty is not, never has been, and never will be a deterrent to violence. It is a way to rid us of those elements who cannot or will not adjust, adapt and coexist in peace with their neigh­ bors.

By NINA WOLPE Dear Jan, Five-year-old Samantha stretched up in her seat toward me and whispered in my ear, "Is your husband still alive, or was he dead as long time like George Washington?" She and I were sitting side by side in the House of Representatives' family gallery, watching the debate proceedings on the floor below us. She and her parents had come to Washington, D.C. as vacationing tourists; they and two other Michigan families had just spent two hours with me on a private tour of the U.S. Capitol Builcfir.g, When we first arrived in Washington, I discovered that Howard’s congregational office was receiving many tour requests from 3rd District constituents who were planning trips to Washington. Mary Wolcott, one of Howard's legislative aides, also new to D.C., was frantically orienting herself and staff interns to this enormous, 540-room building. She tells about the day she accidentally turned right instead of left and her whole tourist party dutifully followed her, everyone becoming hopelessly misplaced. Her history reminded me of the time President Kennedy, new to the White House, graciously ushered the Prime Minister of Denmark through what he thought was the doorway to the Blue Room-right into a pantryl "NEVER leave the memorized route," was Mary's advice to me when I offered to help as a Capitol guide for the office. After trial and much error-1 should have been carrying a compass, a back pack, and flaresl -I now can share what I've learned and what I love about the building, its history and its beauty. This has been one of the greatest privileges and pleasures of my days in this city. People ask me frequently if I get bored spending so many hours doing this. I suppose if I were one of the paid Capitol tour decents taking 30 people through the building, stranger group after stranger group, many times every day, I would be intellect­ ually and physically exhausted. But my tour experience is quite different from that for several reasons. First, and obviously, I only do as many tours as my own or my family’s schedule can accommodate. Secondly, a variety of beautiful treasurers and wonderful stories wait silently off the beaten path where the large tourist groups cannot go. Parents in my groups love to photograph their children sitting behind the desk in the Vice President's ceremonial office just off the Senate floor, in the chair which has been warmed for them by the likes of Truman, Nixon, Humphrey, Mondale, Bush. Thirdly, family and personal friends join me as they come to Washington on business or on vacation. What a treat it was when Michael and I showed the family of his former Delta Township Cub Scout leader around. In addition, I meet interesting new people from back home, strangers for only a few minutes because they soon are sharing their interests and their lives with me, as well as news from all over the district about people and places we know in common. 4-H NEWS society gain risking the es­ cape of Charles Manson, or a thousand others like him?

Pogo 8 Women May Field Team ram Produces Talent An old sport i game on the Hastings athletic scene, novices already championship. Ed Styring coaches the local soccer program and said he’s amazed at how quickly kids learn the game. Styring was inside the Hastings Jr. High gym Saturday morning running his first indoor program. “Its been a real good opportunity Io gel the kids together early and gel them in shape." he said. About 250 boys and girls in three age groups went undefeated in their GrandRapic's league and were 8-2-3 on the season. ”1 played some younger boys with them sometimes, too," Styring recalled. The young players won four and lost four last Styring said about 35 percent of the kids in the program have played before. “The program is growing and we’ll probably have an intramural league this season," he said. He said the outdoor soccer program still starts Apr. 25 with a game bet ween parents and kids. Styring said he gives the, “Fifth and sixth graders a good chance to win - they had their parents on the ropes last year." Styring believes soccer will eventually become a regular on the HHS sports program. “It’s a relatively inexpensive sport equipment costs are tow, and it can be played on a football field. “He predicts ticket sales for an action sport like soccer, “Will be very good." Sytring scid the future of soccer in Hastings looks good. “We have a very good, strong youth program.” he said, adding, “Now we've been approached to start a program for women." Five women's teams play in Grand Rapids, according to Styring, and over 400 women play soccer in Midland alone. Another women's team has been formed in Battie Creek. "The women’s team is almost a reality," Styring said, “They’ll probably play pick-up games at Johnson Field or in other cities," he added. Styring said nice weather is making soccer players anxious to move outdoors. He said he’s happy with the program’s growth. The players are developing skills and theory while learn­ ing teamwork and sports­ manship. Styring seems just they man to be teaching them. Hastings Giris Track is un­ derway and like the male counterpart, the team has a smaller than normal turnout this season.

Delivered product prices are also available for saw­ bolts, poles, crossties, fire­ wood, pulp chips, white kposts and fuel chips. "Good marketing is the foundation for improved for­ est management practices on private, nonindustrial forestlands.” says John E. Gunter, MSU Extension for­ estry specialist. “We feel hy providing Woodiot owners with cur­ rent market information, we can help them better under­ stand the value of their timber, and this will encour­ age them to become better managers of a potentially good product," he added. Timber owners should use market price information along with advice and assis­ tance of professional for­ esters, because prices paid to the landowner will vary, depending on the size of the woodlod, the quality and quantity of the timber, its accessibility, and other con­ siderations. About The Mothers’ Book In this frank and enlight­ ening book, 64 mothers can­ didly explore the emotional aspects of motherhood, shar­ ing with us their most intimate feelings about the many-faceted experience of being a mother. Deborah Ferris Bryan is a Hastings resident. She is a contributor in the soon tobe-published the Mother’s Book. Publication date is April 27. and the book sells for $8.95 in paper and $14.95 in doth. As it deals with everyday issues and with controver­ sial topical ones. THE MOTHER S BOOK conveys both the highs and lows of how it feels to be a mother today. How it feels to bottle­ feed a baby in a pro-nursing climate; to stay at home when all your friends are working; to deal with trip­ lets or decide one child is enough; to be a teenage mother, a single mother, a working mother, an older mother, or a stepmother. By presenting differing points of view on each topic, THE MOTHERS’ BOOK tells Mothers not how they "ought" to feel, hut how women like them- selves react to real-life cir­ cumstances. It offers new mothers a realistic picture of what motherhood is like. just as it offers all mothers the emotional support they need to understand their own feelings.

Nicklaus A major new Jack Nicklaus Golf Course serving the midwest United States will be built at Grand Traverse Village just east of Traverse City, according to Paul L. Nine, president of the Grand Traverse Development Company, Inc. Nicklaus has become a partner in the $300 million northern Michigan destination resort and will personally design and supervise construction of the tournament calibre golf course, estimated to cost $2.5 million. The Nicklaus Organization will serve as maintenance_ consultant for the new course and the existing Grand Traverse Village 6885-yard “New­ comb" Championship Course which already has been named site of the 1980-81-82 Michigan Open Golf Champ­ ionship by the Michigan PGA. Further, Nicklaus and his associates will serye as consultants for the golf dub and g olf course operations and will be directly involved in the development of various golf events at Grand Traverse Village. Nicklaus* reputation as a premier golf course designer is rapidly paralleling exploits on fairways which are highlighted by his record capt ure of 19 “major champ­ ionships” and titles around the world. Last year marked his eighteenth and nineteenth “major championships'* when he won the United States Open with a record score of 272, followed by later of a fifth sweep of the PGA Championship. As a golf course architect, Nichlaus' career spans 15 years and is as international as his playing accomplish­ ments. His courses dot the world from Japan to Australia to Europe to Canada and across the United States.

Fortunately, there are several effective vaccines available, but it takes from 10-14 days for the horse to establish immunity after being vaccinated, so the shots should be started prior to the insect season.

Note: This story is first in a scries dealing with chemical waste contamina­ tion and groundwater pollution. Future stories will explore locations of poDv.ied sites and polluting companies in Barry County and Hastings. The first attempts to explain the vastness of a problem not yet fully delineated. Fifty-seven million metric tons of hazardous wastes were dumped last year in the United States. Only recently have precautions against open disposal been taken. For decades hazardous wastes in the form of oil products, chemicals, metals and acids were dumped whenever and whereever users found it convenient. Horror stories of such wastes coming back to haunt communities are common matter in the nation's news, but very few ever receive national attention. For that reason people often believe, “It couldn't happen here." People in Byron, Ill., couldn’t believe it happened there. But a local metals finishing firm buried at least 1500 drums of hazardous metals waste over an undetermined number of years. Results were loss of surface and groundwater to cyanide, phenols and heavy metals. Local wells were ruined, wildlife, vegetation and aquatic life destroyed. At least $380 thousand worth of cattle had to be destroyed in Louisiana when the toxic organic compound HCB (hexachlorobenzene) found its way out of 8 landfill, vaporized, and accumulated in cattle over 100 square miles. Twenty-five miles south of -Louisville, Ky„ lies the famous “Valley Of The Drums.” Here 17 thousand 55-gal)on drums littered the ground, many rusted through,’‘but six thousand still full or slowly oozing contents into the ground. Other drums, the number unknown, were buried at the site. Two hundred chemicals, 30 metals waste materials have been identified at the site and its drainage area. Some hazardous wastes can burn or explode, causing fires at disposal sites. Smoke from these blazes often distributes hazardous materials over a wide area. This is one reason behind burning bans at landfills. Sites similar to Love Canal and the Valley Of The Drums are a continuing experience around the nation and the state of Michigan. Michigan United Conservation Clubs (MUCC) and the state Department of Natural Resources (DNR) point out 808 sites of proven and probable groundwater contamination in Michigan in 1980. More than 150 sites were added to the list in l£80. DNR officials say more than 60 thousand potential groundwater pollution sites exist in Michigan. Aust said the DNR needs more money to properly supervise hazardous waste, disposal, monitor streams, nvers and lakes, and enforce the law. “There’s a possibi­ lity of federal money, but matching state funds will be needed," Aust commented. Twenty-one Barry County dumps, landfills, and companies make the DNR's list. One is named as a known polluter, 20 are suspected. Some would be in serious trouble but for a lack of Jaw enforcement money in the DNR. Remember when all dumps looked like this grim Beene near the end of Heath Rd.

The Hastings dump is on a high-priority checklist of 200 potentially dangerous sites in the state. Criteria for making that list include proximity to rivers, streams and population centers, among others. According to Dr. Steve * Aust, Chairman of The Michigan Toxic Substances Control Commission, dumps like the old city dump exist all over the state. Aust said, "We’re highly suspicious that they're all bad - There’s a particularly bad site at Port Huron right now that could cost millions to dean- The Hastings Devoted to the Vol. 126, No. 28, Banner ?J I i Interests of Barry County Since 1858 Hastings, Michigan Wednesday, April 8,1981 Mules and Morgan Horses Heath Rd.

Roundup of Township Meetings Most Barry County Town­ ship® held annual meetings on one of the last two weekends where annual budgets and local affairs are discussed and decided. Most township clerks indicated small turnouts and little discussion. Most common subject for discusion was the proposed county transportation system. Clerks report nearly 100 percent of expressed negative opinions. Assyria clerk Oral Miller said a doten people attended this year’s meeting. Tax collection fees were discuss­ ed briefly, but decisions were delayed pending outcome of a court case, Millesaid. Assyria Town hip projects e.-per.ditures of $130,807 next year. Rex'us ? t ransferring was a subject of concern at the Baltimore Township meeting. Clerk Anna Cairns said the township has adopt­ ed a transfer system with Johnstown, Irving and Prairieville Townships but Baltimore residents aren't satisfied. “We just don’t use it enough and people seem to favor getting out of it,” Cairns said. Cairns added, "We’re having some problems with junkya is in the townshio.’’ She said several complaints were voiced al the annual meet. Baltimore township plans to spend 88,700 dollars next year. In, “One of the fastest meetings I can remember," Barry Township approved a budget calling for expendit ures of 245,000 wit h little discussion and no complaints. About 25 persons attended, according to clerk Lois Bromley. Hastings Township formally moved to donate their Township Hall to Charlton Park where it will do double-duty as a museum setting and as Hastings Township Hall. Voters will continue to vote there, but in the park location. Annual and special township meetings will also be held in the old hall. Fourteen persons attend­ ed the Hastings Township meeting and approved operating expenses of $101,750 for next’ year, according to clerk Janet Slocum. Few people attended Hope Township’s meeting and clerk Shirley Case said no special issues or questions came up for discussfon. The township approved a budget calling for expenditures of 89,588 in 1982. Johntown is spending $30 thousand ' to save $40 thousand by converting a used milk truck to a fire tanker. Clerk June Doster said that’s the thing to do t hese dj*ys when tankers run $90 thousand new. She said no complaints or issues were discussed by the 16 persons in attendance. The township will spend $189,000 in 1982. Ten persons attended the meeting in Prairieville Township. Citizens made no complaints and approved expenditures of $139,529 for 1982, according to clerk Lena Arnold. Roads came under the gun at the Thornapple Township meeting. “Roads are a common complaint every spring,” said clerk Donna Kenyon. Seventeen people attended the meeting, and, aside from ruts and potholes, had no complaints or questions, Kenyon added. They approved expenses of $248,238 for 1982. Yankee Springs Township will meet June 30. That’s when the budget will be discussed and adopted. No informaiton is available until June 30.

Weedall said, “We get together for buggy rides a lot on weekends - it's real pretty out in Yankee Springs and on county back­ roads." Weedall, Alan Becker and Chris Potter got together Tuesday morning to plow and drag Weedall’s garden. They were working two teams, each, believe it or not, consisting of a mule and a Morgan horse. The animals spent a lot of time sniffing one horse snorting as if to ask, “What am I doing harnessed '.o a mule?" The neighbors do garden­ ing and haying chores together in most cases. "Jobs that are too big for one of us can easily be handled by all three-and we do lots of buggying together when the work’s done,’’ Potter said.

Technology has helped avert widespread famine to date, she said.

"Another specialty variety whjch is now available to growers," said Helsel, "has better disease resistance. These new disease resistance beans help control phytophthora," a fungus found in soybeans. A third specialty soybean was developed for short growing areas in our state. "These varieties will allow soybeans to be grown successfully in the northern parts of the state," said Helsel. "One of the short season varieties grown last year in the Upper Peninsula yielded over 40 bushels an acre." Varieties designed for food processing also have been developed. “One variety has a high oil content and another variety is high in protein content," Helsel said.

W«d, April 8,1981, Page A rur HUGH’S MUSE Faraway Readers Learn Of Nashville’s Tax Strike Wedding Day Not Far By HUGH FULLERTON Banner Publisher Nashville's tax strike made the networks, as many of us know from watching the tube, and newspapers all over the country carried the story of the little Barry County village that dosed down for a day. Our readers and friends ahve sent us a couple such accounts, both from Florida, where they get the Banner during the winter. The Sarasota Herald-Tribune carried a large photo on the front page and a story of the event. The photo showec the large lighted sign and a protestor carrying a smaller sign. Mrs. William Scudder kindly sent the clipping from Venice. And Dorothy and Howard Frost, wintering in Panama Chy, found the item on the front page of their paper, the News Herald. Interestingly, the two stories differed. United Press International claimed in the Bradenton paper that Nashville has about 90 businesses. Associated Press had only 58, quoting Ahmo Jordan. AP, however, put Nashville's population at 1,600, while it had only 1,500 in UPI'S version. Both stories were relatively short, but summed up the situation adequately. Strange way for Barry County to get on the national map. Bob King has probably given more to Hastings than the community can ever repay, though with typical modesty, he always savs it was his pleasure to do so. King of course, was the YMCA-Youth Council director for more years than most of us can remember. People who are now approaching middle age remember fondly how they learned to swim, or hit a ball, or live at camp under Bob's kindly supervision. My seven-year-old, who known him primarily from swimming lessons, loves him as much as the folks who have known him for 30 years or more. His charm with little ones as well as adults never wears out. Anyway, Hastings wifi say "thanks" to Bob and his better half Pudge with an open house on April 26 at Camp Algonquin, where he reigned for so many years. His friends are getting together a little fund to buy them a nice retirement gift. If you'd like to help, drop a check to Bob Ellis at the Hastings City Bank. There's no onp more deserving of recognition, or so anxious to avoid it, as Bob King. Our hats are off to him. This early spring is such a surprise it's almost too much to take. That spell of warm weather last week brought out the bulbs and the buds. Crocuses are already in bioom, green is showing in the shrubs and trees, and H seems like spring is a month ahead of schedule.

The Hastings Banner “Barry County's Largest Newspaper" By WARREN M. HOYT Civil Service Pay Raise Let Stand During Budget Crisis A Senate committee refused to take action on a concurrent resolution that would have cut in half the scheduled 9 percent civil service pay raise. The state's nearly 60,000 cM servant workers will receive the pay increase along with an improved fringe benefit package with the beginning of the new fiscal year on October 1. Both houses of the Legislature, under the state constitution, had to reject or amend the pay proposal by March 27 or it would automatically take effect on the designated date. The resolution had been offered by Senate Appropriations Committee ViceChairman Bill Huffman (D-Madison Heights) as a means of savings the state's general fund over $42 million. the current standard of living. Kravit added state employees have already participated in the state's economic problems with voluntary days off and the one-day mandatory layoff program. The 9 percent pay increase and the fringe benefit package was the,results of the state's first collective bargaining agreements with the Michigan State Employees Association and other labor unions representing certain categories of state employees. One ironic twist to the legislative proceeding considering rejecting a portion of the civil service pay package was the fact the Legislature had ignored similar resolutions that would have rejected or reduced a 14 percent pay increase, effective January 1, 1982, for legislators, the governor, lieutenant governor and justices of the state Supreme Court. / Senator Edward Pierce (D-Ann Arbor), a member of the Senate Administration and Rules Committoe, which took no action on the measure, expressed displeasure over the base salaries of Michigan governmental employees. Pierce cited a chril service survey which indicated Michigan state employees were paid, in nearly every category, between 20 end 40 percent more than those in corres­ ponding positions in private business and governments of other states and the federal government. Interstate Compact on Emergencies The Legislature is working on legislation -already approved by the Senate-to expand the interstate civil defense compact from the current purpose of only responding to emergencies caused by enemy attacks. Since Michigan borders haven't been attacked lately, the new compact would allow the state to make agreements with neighboring.states for general disaster planning and emergency response to potentially dangerous incidents, such as accidents at nuclear plants. Other "disasters" could include contamination, major transportation accidents, epidemics^ and hazardous radiological incidents. The new compact would apply to situations endangering the public health or safety that can be counteracted only with the use of special equipment, trained personnel or more personnel than are locally available. The compact would allow for combined searches for and rescue of persons lost, marooned or otherwise in danger. The House is expected to act on the legislation quickly. Committee Chairman William Faust ID-West land) said he believed the 9 percent across the board pay increase for civil service employees simply builds-in inequities. He added, however, that he didn't see any way in the current system to adjust for those inequities. Stan Kravit, director of the Office of the State Employer, repeated the administ­ ration's support for the pay increase. He said the pay increase and the fringe benefit package were reasonable efforts to maintain ‘Farming Can No Longer Be Taken For Granted How many parking places would it take to feed a hungry family in America or in one of the world’s hungrier countries? The qrestion was posed to participants in the Governor's Conference on Agriculture at Long's Convention Center in Lansing April 1, by Michigan Gov. William G. Milliken, as he outlined the need for expansion of the industry and some of the possible roadblocks to its growth. Addressing what he called the largest attendance of any conference he had ever called lover 1,000 partici­ pants). Milliken said farming can n<> longer be taken for granted. "America’s agriculture sets it above the rest of the world," he said. "It gives us a place in the world marketplace that not even OPEC can usurp. It helps keep a lid on our balance of payments deficit. And it gives the U.S. serious moral obligation to at least try to combat the starvation that is creeping across the world.” Milliken added. “We have so taken for granted the incredible bounty of God that in some parts of the country we are watching it blow away on hot, dry winds, thanks to careless farming practice and attempts to work marginal land,” The governor continued. "In other parts of the count ry we are laying down pavement where we should at this very moment be preparing to plant this spring's crops. I wonder how many parking places it would take to feed a hungry family here in our own country or in one of the world's hungrier countries. "We have a precious resource. We are squandering it. That is what makes your task here so important," the governor said. Milliken said the conference was not an endbut a beginning. He announced a May 5 meeting with Michigan Department of Agriculture Director Dean Pridgeon; James Anderson, dean of the Michigan State University College and Agriculture and Natural Resources; and the committee chairpersons of each of the eight appointed conference committees. That session will “Review in detail the recommenda­ tions you will develop here and begin the implementa­ tion stage," he said. To The Editor: I was one of less than 50 people in attendance al the town meeting held April 4. with Congressman Wolpe. I find it appaling that such a small percentage of the voters in this area can spare the time to give our Congressman the input he needs to properly represent his constituency in Washing­ ton. It seems that everyone is quick to criticize and complain about the way our Government is being run and yet almost no one is willing to put forth any effort to improve the Governmental process. Thank you, Marty Webster To the Editor: Thank you for the editorials you have written for the readers of the Banner. You have shared some worth while ideas and information wi^h us It u good to be alerl to and interest in the things which concern all of us - Keep on writing those great editorial articles which make us think! Margaret Gleeper To the Editor: Americans have a major opportunity to help change the course of our economic history. The result of past economic policies is all too evident today: high inflation and economic stagnation. We can change things by getting behind the National Economic Recovery Plan. The plan is designed to head off economic crisis by re­ ducing federal government spending, taxation, and reg­ ulation. As a member of the bank­ ing community, I have pledged my support for the plan. I believe all our citi­ zens owe it to themselves to lend their support as well. We can't afford a businessas-usual attitude toward the economy. A major change in direction is required. Across the board cuts in federal programa-as the plan proposes-will hurt. These programs, when ta­ ken individually, have benefitted banks, business, stu­ dents and practically every­ one. But collectively, they threaten .to bankrupt the nation. Shortterm sacrifices are necessary in order to gain in the long run. Reductions™ government spending and regulation will reduce infaltion, perk up the economy and get us on the road to economic recovery. The tax cuts are designed to encourage mon- work, sav­ ings and investment- all plusses. It’s a strong pmgram-a necessary program-- but it won’t go anywhere without massive citizen support. con­ gress must be told that Americans want inflation and stagnation ended and that it must approve the plan quickly. Robert W. Sherwood National Bank of Hastings To the Editor: Our ’President lies wound­ ed, felled by a bullet fired from a "Saturday Night Special.’’^ This favorite weapon of the assassin was easily obtained at a Dallas pawnshop. In all but one of the elevin assassinations and attempt­ ed assassinations of Presidents or Presidential candidates, the assassin used a handgun. Presidents Lineoln. Garfield, and McKinley were slain. Candidate Robert Kennedy was killed. Governor George Wallace is crippled. In September 1975 aione. President Ford’s life was threatened twice by assassins ______ a wielding handguns. Now President Reagan has been shot. Must we bury another President before the Congress acts to pass an effective national handgun control law? Together we can make the Congress act now to control handguns. Join with us today.

This applies in all cases, even if the original flag issued has been damaged or destroyed. Q. I want to get a loan to start a small business. Will the Veterans Administration assist me? A. The VA no longer guarantees loans for small businesses. This services is provided by the Small Business Administration, which has counselors Hastings designated to assist veterans. Contact your nearest SBA office for details. Q. I an a veteran attend­ ing school under the GI Bill, end I am having problems with my college algebra course. Can my wife, who is a math major, act as my tutor? A. No. Veterans Administration ’ regulations state that payment of tutorial assistance cannot be made to a veteran’s parent, spouse, child, brother or sister. Q.

But it’s not just college students who are working in camps. Every summer, staff personnel are hired as nutritionists .and dieticians, kitchen and ground maintenance workers, as well as doctors and nurses.

We maintain strict standards in terms of the preparation and experience of potential counseling staff, as well as regular training State Funds For Home Improvement Ix>w and moderate income Michigan homeowners have borrowed nearly $34 million from the Michigan State Housing Development Authority to mike home repairs and ■ energy conservation improvements, Executive Director Richard K. Helmbrecht said last . The Authority's Home Improvement/Neighborhood Improvement Program (HIP/NIP) underwriters ,OW1S 1L interest rates of 1 to 8 percent for qualified home­ owners, he said. The program began in July 1978. Approximately 7,000 loans have been made, at an average interest rate of 4.7 percent. More than 20 percent of the loans have been made to P««ons Over age 62, and 56 percent of the borrowers have adjusted annual incomes of under $10,000. „.k . . minimumloan loan is $500 1The he mmunum and the marimum improvement *oan *or ■ singlefamily home IS $15,000, With up to 15 years to repay. Nearly half of the HIP/NIP loans are made for amounts ranging from 12,500 to $5,000, Helmbrecht said. To qualify for a HIP/NIP loan, a family’s adjusted annual income must be under $16,000. (Adjusted annual income means gross income minus $750 for each member of the household). In general, bans are made to improve properties at least 20 years old. However, funds also can be borrowed for four types of improvements to newer homes: (1) to correct damage from a natural disaster; (2) to repair hazards to health end safety; (3) to make energy conservation improvements, and (4) to make the home more accessible for a handi­ capped occupant. To obtain a loan, an application must be made to one of the 153 participating local banks and savings and Ioan asaocatbns throughout the state. The financial institution^ make the decision on lending the money. Helmbrecht said, and the Ioans are then purchased by the Authority with proceeds from sales of bonds to private investors. A brochure on HIP/NIP and a list of local tenders is available from the Office of Communicatbns, Michigan State Housing Development Authority, Plaza One, 401 South Washington, Lansing 48909. Michigan Fruit Crop Up Six out of the eight major fruit crops in Michigan posted productton gains in 1980, according to the Michigan Agricultural Reporting Service (Federal-State). The combined productton total for the eight fruit crops was up 25 percent over last year to 666,500 tons. Counterbalancing this optimistic production picture was a 13 percent decline in the total value of production for Michigan fruit. Leading the production increases was a 50 percent increase in tart cherry produciton to 150 million pounds. Severe storm damage in the southwest during the onset of harvest led to production losses of between 25 to 30 million pounds. This storm toss is not included in the tart cherry production total. Still, tart cherry supplies were large enough to trigger the set aside and diversion program. Tart cherry prices were sharply lower than a year earlier as the crop’s total value fell 37 percent Michigan remains the Nation’s largest producer of tart cherries. apple production in Michigan scored a 82 percent gain over 1979’s output and was only 2 percent lower than this century’s record 1978 production. Nationally, commercial apple production was at a record 8.7 billton pounds, up 7 percent from last year. Other Michigan productton increases included a 14 percent increase for both peaches and blueberries. This favorable production allowed Michigan to remain number one in the Nation for blueberry production. Michigan pear production was up 11 percent and a record of 886,000 tons were harvested Nationally. Michigan sweet cherry production increased 7 percent. Small production declines were noted for prune-plums, down 11 percent and grapes off 15 percent. Nationally grape production set a record of 5.58 million tons harvested, 12 percent above 1979.

Only a few times during the months the foursome have occupied the home have all been there at the same time.Most of their time is spent traveling from place to place across the country. They travel ocean to ocean and from Canada to Mex­ ico, creating interest in Mis­ sions and raising money for the work.

Call Anytime, West Michigan Realvest 1-800-442-8364 Check Elevator Licensing Remember last year when several elevators and processors in Michigan filed for bankruptcy; many farmers were left with a handful of worthless receipts for their stored commodities. Dean Pridgeon, director of the Michigan Department of Agriculture, says the responsibility to watch for unsound elevators and processors should not belong only to the MDA. “Farmers should have their responsibilities also.” Among the MDA’s responsibilities, says Pridgeon, is "to license anyone who buys grain from farmers whether an elevator or a trucker." Pridgeon emphasizes that “elevators and truckers must meet certain requirements before licenses are issued.” MDA is also charged with making sure that grain is in the place of business to sufficiently cover the warehouse receipts issued to farmers. These businesses must also carry a bond to cover the value of the grain," says Pridgeon. “Farmer's responsibilities include making sure the buyer is a legitimate business man with a balance sheet." Pridgeon suggest that “farmers be careful of the person who is offering more than his competitors. This is usually a sign that t in* business is in trouble." With farmers and the MDA working together, stresses Pridgeon, "we can hotter protect farmers and their romnmdities." busy schedules and came home to rest. This proved to be an exceptionally pleasant “vacation" as the Davises had a very unusual guest. When Mr. and Mrs. Davis went to LaCeiba, Honduras, 22 years ago to pastor an Independent Church (which later became a Wesleyan Church), among the faithful workers was a young lady by the name of Hilda Clarke. Almost all Hondurans are mestizos (people with both Spanish and Indian ances­ tors) and some also have negro ancestors. Miss Clarke was of the black race, her ancestors coming to Honduras from Jamaica. She was a brilliant young lady, and blessed with a most unusual personality and valuable talents. When she finished her education in the city of about 25,000 people, one of the three larges in Hondur­ as. she felt she should finish her education and came to the States. She entered Marion Col­ lege, a Wesleyan School, in Marion, Ind. in 1963 and worked her way through. She graduated with the class of 1968, went on to Ball Slate at Muncie where she received her M.A. degree. For the past 12 years she has been a teacher of Eng­ lish at White’s Institute at Wabash, Ind. White's Insti­ tute is a correctional institu­ tion, not an easy place to teach, especially a young woman. Miss Clarke has that un­ usual something that wins her the love and respect of all those with whom she Get Married - Pay Higher Taxes While lifestyles and society have changed at a frenzied pace, our tax code is frozen in time like a wooly mammoth from the Ice Age. As a result, the tax code, which once was intended to uphold the family structure, now actually penalizes many of those who are married. More than 20 million couples in America are now affected by the phenomenon called the marriage tax. Skyrocketing inflation has changed whether or not both husband and wife will work from a question of choice to a matter of necessity, yet when both spouses work to make ends meet, they are forced to pay higher taxes than their unmarried counterparts. Hard hit are those in the middle income brackets, who pay as much as 63 percent more to the U.S. Treasury than they would if they had never said, “I do." When the income of one wage-earner is 20 percent or more of the income of his ur her spouse, the m.uried tax takes effect. After such Legislative Report Amendments Reduce Welfare - An effort to cut Michigan's family welfare payments by ten percent to make them competitive with surrounding states failed in the House last week. A series of amendments to the state's social services budget sponsored by Represpentative James Dressel (R-Holland) would have saved state taxpayers as much as $58.2 million to $78.5 million. The first measure would have reduced ADC payments 15 percent, but failed. The second, calling for a ten percent reduction, passed on a first vote, but failed on a second vote. Turkey Permits ■ Turkey season, which opens April 20 and ends May 11, will bring a record number of hunters stalking wild turkeys this year. Out of 34,000 applicants (compared with 20,000 last year), about 16,000 will receive permits. Property Tex ReliefHouse Joint Resolution G, a ta proposal designed to cut property taxes, was recently passed by the Legislature and will appear before voters on a special election ballot May 19. The Resolution would cut property and city income taxes while raising t he state sales tax from 4 percent to 5.5 percent. The state would reimburse local governments and school districts for all lost revenue. State Cara -Permanent assignment of state cars to Lansing-based workers would end for ail employees except the Governor under an amendment sponsored bv State Representative Don­ ald Van Singel (R-Grant). The only exception would be for state employees who are nn emergency call. The amendment would not only apply to employees whose main work is outside of Lansing and who need state cars to perform their duties. Lead Shot Ban-Use f lead shot by waterfowl hunters will again be banned in parts of Michigan this fall. The purpose of the b.jt is to significantly reduce the threat of lead poisoning to waterfowl. Wildlife biologists estimate that two million ducks die each year in the U.S. due to poisoning from ingestion of lead shotgun pellets, which the birds mistake for seeds or 13 grit while feeding. Government Cootncts-A Federal Procurement Task Force designed to help state businesses obtain more federal procurement contracts in defense spend­ ing has been named by Governor Milliken. A special effort will be made by the task force to encourage small and minority businesses, especially those hard hit by the decline in the auto industry, to explore bidding on federal contracts. individuals combine their incomes and file jointly, they are thrown into a higher tax bracket. And even though married couples pay at a lower rate than single people, the reduction is not enough to offset the bracket jump. For example, two married people who earn a joint income of $30,000 pay $903 more than they would if they were single. And even married couples earning only enough to stay above the poverty level may pay up to 133 percent over their unmarried counterparts. Since many existing govern­ ment programs already discourage the poor from working, it is grossly unfair to heap advantage over single workers. But in that year Congress established a special rate for single filers that was meant to balance out the two systems of paying taxes. Instead, that action created the marriage tax penalty. This year Sen. Charles Mathias (R-Md) has introduced a bill (S.2) to allow married couples to choose between two systems of filing their taxes-a joint return or two single worker Hastings Area Schaeie M2k with each Meal Monday, April 13-Mexican Tacos, Buttered Carrots, Taco Chips, Chilled Applesauce.

CALL Two out of three adults in the United States wear glasses at some time. returns. In the House, a companion bill (HU. 1700) was introduced by Representative Millicent Fenwieh (R-N.J.). These bills would prevent married couples who both work from being penalized, while preserving special tax consideration for families with only one wage earner. Thus, the marriage penalty would be eliminated. One obstacle which has prevented Congress from repealing the marriage tax is that eliminating this penalty would cost, the U.S. Treasury an estimated $8 to $10 billion. Such a substantial amount of mone’illustrates the magnitude of the inequity of our tax system. However, the outlook for reform is brighter this year. The Reagan Administ­ ration has supported generous tax cuts for individuals and businesses and has indicated it would support a repeal of the marriage penalty. With this encouragement, Congress may move wisely to repeal the law that forces 20 million Americans to shoulder more than their fair share of the tax burden. lives and labors. She has a talent as a singer and sings solos for every type of gathering. She has sung in some Billy Graham Cam­ paigns. Hilda does not boast of her talents or tell much about what she does, but goes about doing her best to serve her Lord. Not long ago she was presented a key to the city of Indianapolis, and is winner of many honors in English presentation as well as for singing. Miss Clarke still considers Rev. Davis her pastor and t hey were happy to have her as guest for a few days. She came to Hastings from Cin­ cinnati last Thursday, accompanied the Davises and Johnsons to the revival ser­ vice at Grace Wesleyan Church Friday evening. She went with Rev. and Mrs. Davis to the West Berlin Wesleyan Church northwest of Lake Odessa Sunday morning where she sang for the service and her hosts returned her to Wa­ bash Sunday evening. Although plans for neither of the missionary couples nave yet been finalized the Davises expect to return to their mission field in Hon­ duras in August and Mr. and Mrs. Johnson now ex­ pect to leave for Tokyo, Japan late in July. 948-8051 The Hastings Banner Ad-Visors Are Waiting to Take Your Ad �THE HASTINGS BANNER, Wed.

Florida continues to be the most popular destination for Auto Club members. Travel routings to the Sun­ shine State are up more than three percent. Texas, with its promise of jobs luring many Michigan­ ians, is the second most re­ quested destination with in­ quiries up 117 percent over the same period in 1980.

Predict Heavy Easter Traffic With motorists facing no gasoline shortages and air­ lines offering special dis­ count fares, the annual Easter week migration to warm-weather destinations could be the heaviest since 1978 despite Michigan's eco­ nomic problems, according to Automobile Club of Mich­ igan. "For the first Easter holi­ day in three years motorists will find gasoline available everywhere in the United States.” said Auto Club’s Toruning Manager Joseph Ratke. "Requests from Auto Club members for travel routings to Florida, Texas. Calif­ ornia, Nevada and Arizona are up 17 percent over the 1980 pre-Easter period," reports Ratke. Florida continues to be the most popular destination for Auto Club members. Travel routings to the Sun­ shine State are up more than three percent. Texas, with its promise of jobs luring many Michigan­ ians, is the second most re­ quested destination with in­ quiries up 117 percent over the same period in 1980. The only major warm-weather destination not showing an increase is Mexico, which is down 43 percent.

Page 10 Public Notices GCVEFNCP.'S -AX PLAN SENATE TAX PLAN Tax Reform accordingto a cartoon circulated on the CCfTPCMISE TAX PLAN Letterhead of State Senator Jade Welborn. Voice or MICHIGAN MIRROR Committee Committee Delays Action on Emission Standards By WARREN M- HOYT Auto Emission Standards Delayed by Legislative Committee Proposed state administrative rules to implement the irispection and maintenance provisions of the auto emission control law were delayed by a joint legislative committee in hopes for changes in the federally-prodded program. The Department of State compiled with the request of the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules to withdrew the rules but a spokesman said the department would like, the rules implemented and would resubmit them as soon as possible. Phillip Frangos of the Department of State, the state agency responsible for implementing and enforcing the program, said the committee's action means the state could be set back in its ability to implement the emissions program by the January 1, 1982 deadline set by federal officials. The state is threatened with the loss of federal funds for a variety of programs and with denial of industrial construction permits if the programs is not in operation by them. Auto emission testing and maintenance is required in areas failing to meet certain air standards. It is expected to affect, for now, only Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties. Both Governor William Milliken and Secretary of State Richard _ Austin have asked President Reagan to lift the emission requirements, saying the state could come into compliance with dean air requirements through other means. In asking the department to withdraw the rules, the committee members indicated they wanted to see if any changes would come from Washington. Officials in the federal administration have indicated they would want to make changes in the dean air requirements. The committee members also said they wanted to tie their action on the auto emission requirements to action on the air and water pollution surveillance fees. Frangos said the committee action showed a "reluctance to do something until some guidance from Washington. The State Departent rules deal with actual testing of motor vehicles in areas not found in compliance with clean air rules. Under the act, which was approved partiatty to prevent the federal government from denying permits for the construction of new industrial plants in the tri-county area, the Department of Natural Resources will determine which areas do not comply with the clean air rules. Motorists in those areas wfll then have to have their vehicles tested and if they do not comply with the dean air requirements, be adjusted by qualified mechanics. House Minority Leader William Bryant (R-Grosae Pointe Farms) urged the rules not be adopted, saying he had no doubts the Reagan administration would scuttle the rules. Frangos, however, said there was nothing definite from the administration that the rules would be struck. The rules will qow be reworked and be placed back before the committee for further consideration. If the Reagan administration, mean­ while, scraps the regulations, the ruies and the entire program will be placed on hold until they become necessary under the current administration or a subsequent administration revitalizes the program. 4-H NEWS Deadline Approaching for Purchase of Hogs and Lambs By DORIS J.

BASEBALL TIME Now that the baseball season is in full NOTICE The Hastings Area Board of Education has scheduled a special closed meeting following their regular public meeting on Tuesday, April 21, 1981. Purpose: Upcoming Negotiations with Employees. JoAnn Fluke, Sec'y. the People To the Editor: I am writing to oppose the tax shift plan on the May 19 ballot. For $3.5 million spent on the election, the legislature should have offered the people a bonafide choice. With 14% unemployment in Michigan, does raising the sales tax make sense? What will this do to the flagging auto sales? Does it make sense to not cut business property taxes in our beleagured business climate? This plan provides potential $1400 property tax relief and $800 tax relief for cities like Detroit with income taxes (total $2200). Not only is this an incentive for tax increases, but Detroit gets a bigger break than most areas. The state will refund half of any tax increase, but that refund comes from the increased sales Lax. Another gimmickthe lottery money will all go to education. But while lottery money is going in education’s front door, other general fund money can go out education's back door. Contrary to popular belief, the present 4% constitutional limit on the sales tax was NOT raised to 5.5%. There is new language: “Beginning July 1, 1981, the legislature shall impose additional sales and use taxes at a rate of $.5%...” Instead of raisng the 4% limit to a 5.5% limit, there is now a mandate to raise taxes by $5%. Could this be used to raise the tax further to 7% in the future? I don't know. Why didn’t the legislature assure a limit of 5.5%. Finally, I watched as the Governor called one senator after another on the Senate floor and changed their minds. He then watched from the balcony as we voted on his plan to defeat Tkcll A sedatiee will not cure Bn appendicitis Victim, but It might ease his desire to act. We need a cure, not a palliative, arid should vote NO. Sincerely, Ed Fredricks.

Campbell said he didn’t jfhink adding selling costs to valuation is a fair way to appraise property. They discussed the issue at Monday’s City Council meeting. Aiderman Frank Vaughan cited a home in the First Ward which has been sold three times in five years. He said price of the house increased five thousand dollars due to realtor's fees and other selling costs. Campbell said he would like to see, “Some action," then added, "Even if it means re-appraising every piece of property in the city." He urged Snyder to work through the Michigan Municipal League, a lobbying organization for cities, to change state appraisal methods. “We should be jumping up and down just like people in Nashville did," Campbell said, then added, “It’s got to start here," on the local level. Snyder agreed with Campbell, saying, “It can start here, but it doesn't end here." He added, "I don't know the answer - I wish I did." Councilwoman Mary Lou Gray noted public transportation in the county is not a dead issue. She told the banner, "Despite an emphatic ‘no’ on the issue from the city council some weeks ago, people should understand the county has not killed the plan.” Members of Hospital Guild 30 were working on their Spring Fashion Show Tuesday night at the home of Alice Gergen on Mead Rd. The show is scheduled for the Hastings Country Chib on April 23 and is an annual event. She told The Banner Local Transportation Coordinat­ ing Council director Sam Marfia, "Is still getting estimates and working for a transit system." Gray said recent* annual township meetings found most people in attendance, “Against a county-wide transit system." Thomas Kelty, a First Ward neighbor of Hastings Manufacturing Company, advised commissioners of progress in a complaint about smoke emissions from the company’s foundry operation. He said the company seemed to be taking positive steps to alleviate the problem. But Kelty told the Banner Tuesday afternoon a look through the foundry offered him earlier and planned for Tuesday morning, "Was called off without any explanation." He said, “No one ever -ees the smoke from their foundry because they only operate at night when more power is available." Kelty said, “You can go by there anytime in daylight hours and not see a sign of smoke - but when they fi-e-up at 5:30 pr six o’clock. and it's dark, the smoke is something else." The council approved a request for a rate hike by Hastings Ambulance Serdes effective June 22. Fees for transporting patients will rise from $70 io $80, and mileage charges will be increased 50 cents to $1.50 per “loaded mile," according to an Ambulance service spokesman. / In other activities Monday night the council accepted a bid for pipeline and fiddings from the Ellis and Ford Co., of Grand Rapids for $64,199.18.

The workshop will open at 10 a.m. County Clerk Norval Thaler said commissioners opened Tuesday’s meeting handling, "A lot of correspondence and resolutions from various townships.” Most resolutions dealt with mass transit and Regional Planning issues. Thaler said most petitions were against mass transit and regional planning, “Though there were a couple in favor of the regional planning. Commissioners also elect­ ed directors to the Economic Development Corporation and approved building of a $900,000 TV tower in Thornapple Township, “Just west of the WOTV tower," according to Thaler.

Near-Record Ski Season Reported The 1980-81 ski season was second best ever in Michigan despite a depressed economy and an early thaw which closed some lodges two weeks earlier than normal, accord­ ing to an Automobile Club of Michigan survey. “A significant increase in snowfall over last winter especially during the Christmas-New Year’s holiday, and inflation helped lift revenues to nearly $141 million, 23 percent higher than last season," stated Auto Club Touring Manager Joseph Ratke," and only 2.5 percent below the record 1978-79 winter." "The 36 facilities respond­ ing to Auto Club's survey reported nearly 21 percent more skiers than last winter and only 7 percent fewer than the record set two wintars ago," Ratke said. Total natural snowfalls recorded by the National Weather Service ranged 5 to 60 percent heavier than last winter across most of the slate. Only six ski areas-two in West Michigan and four in the Upper Peninsula-reg­ istered less snow than last winter. One resort in East Michigan and another in the U.P. reported snowfall about the same as a year ■go. Ater the Christmas-New Year's period, reveune at the surveyed ski hills were up an average 73 percent over the 1979-80 winter and 4 percent above the record 1978-79 season. Only two resorts reported a drop in crowds. The mid-to-late February thaw which closed 13 areas for from one day to two weeks and dosed two lodges for the season, helped reduce profit margins, ski area operators said. The early thaw also cut into the final tally. Boyne Mt-., near Boyne Falls, which normally closes in mid-April, ended its season March 29, while some lodges reported warm temperatures cost them at least 10 percent in revenues. In West Michigan sixteen areas reported an average 18 percent increase in skiers and a 15.1 percent rise in revenues compared with last winter. Skiers and revenues declined 1.2 and 8.4 percent, respectively compared with two winters ago. Ski hill operators said poor early season conditions in the Rocky Mountains were a major factor in this season is success in Michigan. Increased operating costs and higher gasoline prices were listed by operate rs as reasons for the drop from the 1978-79 season. STANLEY E.

Field activities through April 12 included spring tillage, fertilizer application and planting of oats and sugar­ beets, according to the Michigan Agricultural Reporting Service (FederalState). Widespread rainfall the weekend of April 11 and 12 halted field activity temporarily. Soil moisture supplies are adequate in most areas after the rain, with water standing on some of t he heavier soils. Winter damage to fall planted wheat is below average to average on wheat fields throughout Southern Lower Michigan. Green-up has been slow in some areas due to lack of spring rains. Oats planting is about two thirds complete. Only a few fields of corn have been planted thus far. Sugarbeets planting is about one-third complete. Above normal temperatures during March also advanced fruit tree development. Most apple trees have broker, dormacy. Cherry trees in southwest Michigan are in t he green t ip to pre-pink stage and in the green tip stage in northern areas. Planting of early vegetables and onions has begun in localized areas.

By MARY LOU GRAY The Hastings Business and Professional Women's Club met for their regular monthly meeting Tuesday. Apr. 14, at the Hastings Moose Lodge. Special guest speaker for the evening was Doris Hale, a fellow B.P.W. member of the Hastings Club, who spoke about investments. Miss Hale is a licensed securities agent with AJ. Obie and Associates, Inc., in Grand Rapids. She is also an associate with A.J. Obie where she has been employ­ ed since February, 1980. Hale said her experience with investments began when she became a member of an investment dub. “The advantage to investment dubs," said Doris, “is people can invest a set amount of money on a regular basis and can diversify and spreak the risk.” She continued, “The disadvantage is that an individual member must go with the majority when it comes to making a decision on what to buy, when to buy or sell." There art many fine investments available on the market today. A potential investor must know the amount he expects in return, must understand the risk, know when to invest and when to build capital. Answers to these vital questions should come from someone able to give individual and specific attention to the needs and resources of the prospective investor. People should understand exactly what interest is Hale said. Interest is rent oi money. A person with savings account receive interest (rent) for the use of their savings dollars. Compound interest ii interest on interest. Bank pay from 5’A% to 15.7% oi varied accounts, ranging from the regular saving! accounts to the monej market certificates. There are many ways tc invest. One is ir commodities. Commoditiei are highly speculative ant pertain to the essentials ol life-currencies, wheat, corn and livestock. The Wall Street Journal terms investment in commodities, “The hottest game in town.” A person can invest (usually a minimum of $5,000.00) and be wiped out in minutes. A large majority of investors in commodities lose money. Another investment item is bonds. Bonds are debt instruments and some are insured by the government.

Page 4 EDITORIAL Voice Of The People | City Taxpayers Shortchanged In Not Knowing Their Assessments It's about time the homeowners of Hastings were told what their property as888smenfs--and consequently their property taxes for 1981-will be. At the end of February, property owners in Hastings received their assess­ ment notices, and they were generally increased. This was no surprise. The surprise was, of course, that those assessment notices were incorrect on residential property. An error in the County Equalization Office caused the city ot under-assess residential property. The error was discovered by the State Tax Department in late February, and by early March, city officials were made aware of the inaccuracy of the assessments. Today, six weeks later, property owners in Hastings do not know what their assessments wtt be for 1981. A factor apparently will be applied to residential property, increasing the assessments beyond the amount on the assessment notices sent out Feb. 27. But no new notices have been sent to property owners, telling them what their new assessments will be. Meanwhie the Board of Review has met, heard appeals from those who wished to contest the February notices, and the period for hearing the appeals has ended. In other words, despite the fact that you and I dcn't know what our 1981 assessed values are, we have already lost the right to appeal! Those who are responsible for informing the taxpayers did not do their duty. As soon as the inaccuracy was found, the assessor's office should have prepared new assessments on every piece of property affected. If the city assessor did not want to go to the extra effort, the mayor-hls boss-should have ordered him to do so. The Board of Review began its work on March 9, a few days after the error became public knowledge. Certainly the Board of Review could have ordered reassessment on each piece of property affected. And if the Board of Review were really interested in protecting the people, it should have seen that new accurate notices were sent out in time for owners to appeal them, if they wished. Sure, there wasn't much time. But that's no excuse. We're talking about a tax increase of many thousands of dollars, spread over hundreds of taxpayers. These people have a right to know what their assessments will be. At this late date, none of them know. Some officials may argue that they complied with the letter of the law, because every property owner received *he tentative (but incorrect) assessment notice mailed Feb. 27. But all tnose notices were made obsolete by the error. The right thing to do would have been to mail a revised notice to every property owner whose assessment was changed. We still feel-as we did when the problem first surfaced-that some city officials have been trying to sweep the matter under the rug, and minimize the importance of it. It would have been far better policy to admit responsibility for the error and correct it 88 soon as possible. The error cannot be considered corrected until every property owner is informed of the proper, correct assessment. Even then, justice cannot be done because it is too late to appeal. The assessor, the mayor and the Board of Review must share the blame for not properly informing the taxpayers and property owners. To the Editor: As the old saying goes, "Throw a rock into a pack of dogs, the one that is struck will yelp.” It is time to yelp. As a life member of the N.R.A. I resent the implication by D.A. Robinson that the legislative opinions of my fellow members and I are responsible for the activities of the insane person who shot President Reagan. The person charged with the crime violated several hand­ gun control laws. First, no mental patient is allowed by federal law to purchase a firearm. Second, federal law prohibits interstate trans­ portation of handguns except by federally-licensed firearms dealers, unless approval is obtained from both the state of origin and the state of destination. Washington D.C. allows no civilian to legally possess a handgun. Third, the ammunition was equipped vith lead azide explosive bullets. It is illegal under both state and federal law for any civilian to possess or use explosive bullets. These examples do not include all the local laws that were violated. One fact, in my opinion, is clear. Another handgun law would have been broken just as easily, and the result would have been no different. Sincerely, Frederick G. Schantz VIEWPOINT SECOND LOOK Which Way’d We Go? By LARRY HAMP Seer Edger Cayce told us man has reached high levels of civilization not just once, but several times. Each has crashed into ruin for reason or reasons unknown. Cayce suspected holocaust or natural calamity - perhaps a combination of the two. If our recorded past on earth is any indication of how we've travelled in the unrecorded past, Cayce's suspicions were probably correct. He might have carried his thoughts further (but he was a homespun boy with no formal schooling) and said it was natural calamity, since war and conflict seem a natural part of human make-up. In the 1940's Cayce predicted scientists would find evidence of "Atlantis" off the coasts of Florida and the Bahamian Islands in 1968. Sure enough, in 1988, evidence of advanced cMization wm found in both areas. Still (to public knowledge) not thoroughly investigated, the findings include masonry walls and what appear to ba paved roads - all underwater. Within the last week Russian scientists have announced similar findings off the southern coasts of Europe. Descriptions in news accounts are strikingly similar to reports issued about the 1968 discoveries. Who were these people? Were they victims of nature, or forces crested by themselves they were unable to control? Despite scarcity of Information, from what's known it's obvious they extended them­ selves over thousands of miles, built highways and did masonry still unsurpassed. Stonework they left sounds similar to that found at high altitudes of the Andes Mountains In South America. But they're gone. And they've been gone for a long, long time. They've been gone so long our collective memory of them is either lost or shadowed and tinted by time. But in the face of growing evidence. It's becoming more and more difficult to maintain they never existed. Still many scientists, anthropologists and archaeologists will ignore the Russian finds as they've ignored the Florida and Bahamian finds and as they've tried to ignore incongruities for all time. The problem, you see, is radical new finds - radical new theories, are 8 threat to the existing order. No professor, or researcher, nobody, wants to look at their life's work and admit, "I had it all wrong." And as individuals go, so goes the community of man. This is perhaps our single greatest weakness - unwillingness to learn and accept new data. Evidence indicates we've always been this way. In the 19th century German Archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann read the Greek myths carefully. On the basts of their contents he determined he could find Troy and Mycenae. The academic community laughed all the way to graduation. Schliemann laughed all the way to the bank. His finds forced total reconstruction of ancient history and, momentarily, brought about a new open mindedness in the sciences. Cases similar to Schliemann's are rife In the history and science and the social sciences. We see the same forces at work in government - not here alone, but everywhere. They represent things about us most in need of change - innate conservatism, fear of change, fear of others different from ourselves, and lack of confidence in our ability to control direction and destiny. Learning and change are part of evolution. When we stop evolving, we'll take a tumble - somehow. Ten thousand years from now a reincarnated Edgar Cayce may predict, "Soon we'll locate first traces of The Big Apple." The scientific community will titter, mutter something about myths, and continue the important work of turning base metals into gold. HUGH’S MUSE Energy-Rich and Poor States Mom’s Week Away Was a Must Cooperate for the Future Treat for Dad and Daughter By CONGRESSMAN HOWARD WOLPE It is well known that the shrinking supply and rising cost of energy have altered the international balance of power. But less wei known is another equafty disruptive change: a shift in the economic balance of power within the United States. • A rift between energy "winners" and "losers" has opened wide. The winners are twelve states that produce more energy than they consume. All are located in the South and West. The losers are the eighteen states of the Northeast and Midwest, where rapidly escalating energy prices are consuming more and more Investment capital and tax revenues. A dialogue is desperately needed. The split between energy-rich states and the rest of America could baikanize the regions and threaten national unity. We have only to look North for a glimpse into our own future. Canada's federation is slowly breaking apart, the victim of polarization between Western provinces seeking to profit from their energy resources and the older, heavily industrial­ ized provinces of the East. In the United States, a similar conflict centers on a state's right to levy "severance" taxes on oil, coal, and natural gas extracted from the ground. These taxes have combined with the decontrol of oil prices to enrich energy-exporting states beyond any' comparable experience in our history. These states' revenues from oil alone tripled from •710 million in 1972 to $2 billion in 1978. The next two decades wifl dwarf those figures. One conservative estimate gives Texas $35 billion in oil severance taxes before 1991. Alaska's legislature predicts that Prudhoe Bay ofl will pour 4460 billion Into the state treasury by the year 2000. Because these taxes are ultimately paid by consumers in energy-poor states, the revenues earned from state taxation of oil, coal, and natural gas will add up to one of the greatest transfers of economic wealth in American history. This is a transfer that the Frostbelt states - all dependent on energy produced in other regions - can hardly afford. Already confronting high unemployment, budget deficits, lagging economic growth, and reduction of local government services, the high price of energy will rob Michgian and other Northern states of the investment capital and tax revenues needed so desperately to rebuild our troubled economies. In effect, severance taxes are forcing energy consumers in Michigan to subsidize economic development and government services in the energy-exporting states. With severance tax revenues, these states have already begun to reduce their own business, income, and property taxes and thus create an even more favorable climate for invest­ ment. Severance taxes therefore threaten to widen the gap between declining regions, struggling to rebuild their economic base, and the wealthy and growing states of the Sunbelt. For the Midwest and Northeast, a fair and equitable solution to this problem must be an urgent goal of any national energy policy. Officials of energy-exporting and energy -consuming states must begin a national dialogue on severance taxes specifically and energy policy in general. This dialogue would help the exporting states understand how the high price of energy is threatening the prospect for economic recovery for our region, h would help consuming states understand why some severance tax revenues, at least, are necessary for the twelve energy "winners." No one questions the right of states to tax the exploitation of their natural resources. Montana's state government, whose 30% severance tax on coal is facing a Supreme Court challenge, argues that the state must plan for the future. Half of Montana's severance reveues are set aside in a trust fund to meet the state's economic needs when coal production runs nut. Montana also needs some revenues to repair the environmental damage of strip-mining operations and pay for vital services to a growing population. In Alaska, state officials make a similar point. Alaska needs to build a new economic base to keep the state going after oil reserves are finally depleted. The state cannot count on severance taxes forever; in the meantime, the revenues will help finance new industries and agricultural techniques. It is from Alaska, in fact, that we have heard some of the first voices calling for a reconciliation between energy "winners" and "losers." One bill recently introduced in the state's legislature would alow the state government to invest some of its oil revenues in major capital projects in states like Michigan. Under this progressive legislative, Alaska could help distressed states diversify their industrial base while providing the people of Alaska with a reasonable return on their initial investment. The idea of one state volunarily subsidizing economic development in other states could have far-reaching impact for states such as Michigan. Recently, I was named to chair a Task Force on Severance Taxes formed by the Northeast-Midwest Congressional Coalition. One of ths first initiatives of the task force will be to invite Alaska Governor Jay Hammond to sit down with representatives of the Northeastern and Midwestern states and begin a serious dialogue on this innovative proposal that could ultimately result in a energy severance tax policy that all regions of our country can accept as fair.

By HUGH FULLERTON Banner Publisher My daughter - like many aeven-yeorokfs-like riddles. So I made up this one for her When is a Dad a'Mom? Answer-when Mom's away on vacation. This Dad was a Mom for a week, and found it isn't so bad. Perhaps it was the novelty of it. More likely. It was the dtocovwy that some of things that dads often don't do, and moms do, are not unpleasant but may actually be fun. With school out for a week, my wife decided that Mexico was the answer to the end-of-winter btahs. I don't blame her. Some day I may find out for myself. But in my case, a week alone with my daughter also helped take care of the blahs. If we had any. We discovered a number of things together. Cooking can be fun. Thia is not an entirely new activity for us. Since she was about four, my daughter and I have occasionally "cooked," usually on a week­ end when there was plenty of time to dean up the mesa afterwards. But by the time a child is seven, she can do a lot of things preparing food. Stirring to obvious, and my daughter has been doing that for several years. Measuring to not afl that difficult, with a little instruction. Then we get into slicing and paring, which must be more doseiy supervised, but are still within the range of a young cook's abilrty. One of my daughter's delights was the discovery that the electric mixer to not all that difficult to use, and makes the job so much easier. Perhaps I'm over-cautious, but in my kitchen, the seven-year-old's duties end at the stove. Not that a stove to so difficult to operate, but a heating appliance just seems too dangerous at that age. She can operate the microwave oven, but I watch doseiy to so* that it's set right. I found that a bigger challenge was taking care of the long hair popular among our children today. In our home, there has been kind of a feminine mystique associated with hair. Sor.iehow, a man to not considered quite competent to wash it or put it up in pigtails, the favorite hair style. Nonsense. A little girl's long hair to more trouble to wash than a man's short (and thinning) locks, but there's nothing mysterious about the process. Brushing to a bit of a battle if the hair to tousled, but it gives me so much pleasure to see her hair dean and shiny that I enjoy it. And white a man's hands may not be used to working with a small girl's gossamer strands, they gained proficiency quickly. After a couple days, my daughter's hair drew complements from friends who knew that Dad, not Mom, had put it up. And there's pleasure from ordinary, as well as unusual, activities alone with your child. We went to the Ice Capades in Kalamazoo, and can thoroughly recommend it as a good family show. On our "date", we decided on pizza for dinner, which of course is like manna to a seven-year-old. Bedtimes are not much of a problem at our house. The bedtime story is still a favorite activity for Dad as well as daughter. So the vacation week was as usual in that respect. Mornings weren't bad, either. I didn't get to work as early as usual, but she was up at her normal time and off to someone’s house for the day by the time she would normally go to school. All in all, Mom's vacation was a special time for us, too. We did some things together we might not have done otherwise, and found that Dad can sub as a Mom, too.

United States and Canada. Move To Stop Salmon Snagging The Michigan 'United Conservation Clubs (MUCC) wants salmon snagging banned throughout the state. Directors of the state's largest conservation organization voted at their bimonthly meeting here to ask the National Resources Commission to order a ban on snagging statewide by 1983 and to make snagging illegal on all parts of the Grand River this year. Under the commission's liberalized fishing rilles, snagging for salmon is permitted on parts of the Grand River and seven ot her streams during the fall spawning runs of these fish. MUCC has supported the commission's position on snagging in the past but now wants all foul-hooking declared illegal. The federation of sports­ men and women contends that snagging (1) is associated with unsports­ manlike conduct and is contrary to Michigan sport­ fishing tradition and ethics; (2) increases such problems as littering, trespass, destruction of vegetation, erosion of stream banks, and overcrowding; (3) results in and international air pedestrian traffic crossing pollution; opposition to the trails, continued funding for transfer of federal lands to the Great Lakes research the states and to private laboratory maintained at interests as advocated by Grosse fie by the federal supporters of the "Sage­ Environmental Protection brush Rebellion" movement Agency.

April 20,1981 Commission To Discuss Land Use A number of subjects of great importance to Barry County's future will be dis­ cussed at the April 27 Public Hearing being conducted by. the Planning and Zoning Commission. The meeting will be held in the Court Room at the County Court House Monday, Apr. 27, at 7:80 p.m. “While the new Zoning for Manufactured Housing has had the moot publicity and attention,” says Kensinger Jones, the Commis­ sion chairman, “two other matters significant to the citizens of the county will be discussed. One is the re­ quirements that affect any proposed public or private landfills, the other relates to Floodplain nunagement and the National Flood Insur­ ance Program. All three of the major topics to be cover­ ed will affect land use throughout the townships covered by the County Zon­ ing Ordinance.” “For nearly two years, " he continued, “we’ve been involved in studies concern­ ing the placement of mobile homes. A great deal of commisison time has been devot­ ed to the consideration of Special Use applications seeking to place mobile homes in areas not zoned for them. Now, with the help of township officials, we've tried to designate areas where this type of housing can be placed permanently without application for special use." “In such areas this type of housing will be compatible with what's already in the neighborhood. It will expand the amount of land available for permanent mobile home installations by about 2900 acres without causing prob­ lems in areas where on-site, single family dwellings are the major housing compo­ nent," he said. The recent Supreme’ Court decision related to a Mobile Home case in Ottawa County stressed the compat­ ibility idea. It seems to us that our new R-MH (Manu­ factured Housing) zoning designation is in line with the intent of that decision.” “It's been our experience that how the immediate neighbors feel about the placement of a particular mobile home in a particular place is a pretty good indica­ tion of whether it’s compat­ ible or not. So we’ll be very much interested in the opinions of all people in the county, including the organized supporters of uncontrolled placement of any type of mobile home anywhere in the county," Jones said. Complete details of pro­ posed ordinance changes and maps of the areas to be zoned R-MH are available for review at the Zoning Office. Time will be alloted for discussion of each partic­ ular area at the Public Hearing. "If we can discuss specific subjects indicated * at the times scheduled," suggested Winifred Keller, Planning and Zoning Director, “we can cover a great deal of business. At the end of the hearing time has been allot­ ted for genera], open discus­ sion. The Hearing will be fol­ lowed by a regular meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission.

James M. Howell, a small town boy from College Sta­ tion, Tex., is Senior VicePresident of First National Bank of Boston and a gradu­ ate of Harvard University. He speaks with the easy drawl common to Oklahoma and his section of Texas. What Howell has to say flies in the face of predomi­ nant political thought, but he speaks from experience and with conviction. Howell said what Mich­ igan is facing now, Massa­ chusetts and other eastern industrial states went through 10 years ago. He said, “We learned the hard way that stiff tax reduction 'propositions (like Tisch and Headlee) are anti-growth and counter-productive." "Last Year Massachu- setts passed Proposition 2Vi by a margin of 8 to 1," Howell said. He added the proposal passed because, “Poor and rich formed a coa­ lition to reduce property taxes." The move came about because upper income executives in the city’s hightechnology industries were leaving the area due to tax burdens. ’They knew they couldn’t get the income taxes lower­ ed so sought an area where they'd find allies,” Howell said. Net result at the law’s limit on taxes and tax in­ creases has been, “Bank­ ruptcy for 87 Massachu—ttc cities,” he added. Under Massachusetts law all property must be assess­ ed at 100 percent of its real value. “Maximum tax allow­ ed is 2Vi percent of that figure, with yearly increases of a maximum 2Vi percent," according to Howell. Howell insists the mea­ sure did more hann than gcod - it hurt the poor, cut off the inner dty." He believes banks and Sheriff’s Personnel Get Training Undersheriff James R.

Michigan. Persons partidpating in the wildlife planting project need only pick up the trees and load them in a trailer or truck. The treesK should be placed in tarpaulin, boxes or bags to protect them from the sun and wind. Planting these trees and shrubs can provide food and cover for wildlife, aid in soil conservation, establish windbreaks, and create land­ scape beauty and trees for the future. The first Arbor Day was observed on April 10, 1892, largely through the efforts of J. Sterling Morton, a native of Detroit who moved to Nebraska in 1854. Nebra­ ska was a treeless plain, and Morton, a nature lover, wanted to do something to change that. Morton was also editor of Nebraska’s first newspaper and used that position to push for the planting of trees in his adopted state. The nation's first Arbor Day was observed in nebraska 109 years ago-and an esti­ mated one million trees were planted in that state on that day.)

ARTICLE VI OFFICIAL ZONINQ MAP Donor Program Success Ml-4 CARLTON TOWNSHIP OFFICIAL ZONINQ MAP More than 350,000 participating Michigan drivers made the first three months of 1981 the best quarter ever for the Michigan Medical Information and Organ Donor Program, Secretary of State Richard H. Austin reported today. The program, authorized by the Michigan Legislature, was implemented in 1977 when medical information and organ donor labels were mailed with driver licenses. Currently, all drivers receive the labels with new and renewed licenses. The label authorizes use of organs for transplantation in event of death. In addition, it shows blood type of the driver, important information in the event of an accident. David St. Clair, Executive Director of the National Kidney Foundation of Mkhigna, said that “Because the first three months of 1981 were the best period ever for recovery of organs for transplantation, man^ lives were saved. Distribu­ tion of labels directly to drivers made the difference." The Department also provides labels to doctors, medical personnel, organ procurement and transplant societies, foundations and churches. Labels are available at all Secretary of Slate branch offices. regulate OFFICIAL ZONINQ MAP that all i State at Z-81-7 ***■ d«l«i ar«M: Fraa 1-3 & AR to R-H (San Bravata Plat) From R-2 to R-Hi Finn AR to R-Hi (Adding a new aection) Section A18 ■ R MH Maanfactured Housing Allows single family mobile bema. single family dwellings, metals home parts and R-MH Country BubdMrioaa.

A sheet of fabric sof­ tener in the wastebasket helps give a room a nice soft smell in a hurry. With the high cost of gasoline these days, not to mention the coat of insuring and maintaining a car, bicy­ cling is becoming an attrac­ tive transportation alterna­ tive. According to Dr. Lowell F. Rothert, Michigan 4-H Youth program leader, more than three percent of the American population last year decided to ride to work on bicycles rather than drive their cars. “Bicycle commut­ ing is an efficient, healthier and less expensive way to get around town,” Rothert says. Though commuter bicy­ cling has several advan­ tages, most people are hesi­ tant to try it. “The biggest problem people have to overcome is their own resis­ tance and attitudes," Roth­ ert says. For instance, the most common complaint is the “bicycling takes too long and work is too far away." Other objections include “there’s too much traffic, there aren't any showers at work, what will I do if it rains and evryone will think I look funny.” "It will take a while before bicycling catches on with the general public," Rothert says. "Americans, especially Michiganians, have become accustomed to driving their :ars everywhere. They feel trapped without them. But as gas prices continue to increase, commuters will have to turn to other trans­ portation methods." In Europe, where fuel has been an expensive commod­ ity for many years, bikes are an accepted mode of trans­ portation. “In fact, in Europe bicycles are the norm - cars are the rarity." Rothert points out. If you're new to bicycle commuting, start slowly and gradually * work up endur­ ance, Rothert suggests. For example, if you live 10 miles away from work, leave a little earlier and drive 9 miles of the way. Park your car in a large parking lot, take your bike out of your trunk and pedal the remain­ ing distance. Try this for a week or so, gradually lessening the num­ ber of miles you drive and increasing the distance you ride your bike. After a while, you should feel conf­ dent enough to ride rll the war to work and back. If you live close to the office but can't face the prospect of riding your bike every day, ride only two or three days a week. Save your car for rainy days or days when you have an im­ portant appointment. “Not only will you feel better and healthier, but you’ll be glad about the money you'll save on your weekly gasoline bill, too," he says. While commuting, nuke sure you obey all safety and traffic laws. Basically, bi­ cyclist have the same righto and responsibilities as motorists. You must obey traffic signals and rules. If you'd like more Infor- . mation * •bicycling • about rights, responsibilities and safety, sign up for a 4-H bicycle safety instructor workshop. Workshops are held throughout the state for a nominal fee. An informative publica­ tion, “A Guide for the Bi­ cycle Commuter,** is also available for those who want to learn more about bicycle commuting. For workshop and bicycle commuting infor­ mation, contact your county Cooperative Extension Ser­ vice 4-H youth office.

Saxon girls had trouble getting the lumber untraeked and lost game one to Sturgis 4-3. They rallied and downed the Trojans 15-12 in the second game. Saxon Softballen Split Twin Bill with Sturgis The HHS varsity softball team got off to a slow start Saturday when ths girls couldn't hit the ball in the first of two games against Sturgis. Saxon pitcher Michelle Blair gave up six hits and walked two while the defense was committing 5 errors. She took the 4-3 loss. Sue Neil, Sherry Johneock, and Monica Yesh did all the Saxon hitting Johneock got a single and a triple. “We started getting some hits in the second game," said coach Judy Anderson. The team had ten hits and scored 15 runs enroute to a 15-12 win. But Anderson was still unhappy about errors -11 in two games Saturday. “But it's early in the season and we know what we have to work one," she said. The Saxons took advantage of speed and stole 12 bases in the second game Saturday. “We’d have stolen in the first game," Anderson said, "But we couldn't get on first base." Tammy Connor had a single, a triple and 1 RBI for the Saxons in game 2. Sue Neil and Sherry Johneock Softball JV’s Win, 11-10 Saxon Jr. varsity softball coach Dave Farley said his team looked good against Eaton Rapids Wednesday night, beating the visitors 11-10 in a game marked by fine pitching from Sheri Blair and a good team atti­ runs in the third inning, five tude. “We were down eight to more in the sixth, two more nothing in the second inning, in the seventh to edge Eaton but the kids kept working Rapids. Amy Stack got a two-out and put together a win," Farley said. base hit to score Julie The Saxons scored four Bishop for the tie in the seventh, then Karen Williams scored the winning run. Stack had two hits, the remaining Saxon hits were spread through the batting order. in Hastings Monday after- each had two singles - Neil got 1 RBI, Johneock 8 RBI. Stacy Reasor hit 2 singles and got 1 RBI. Jody Moore had a double and one RBI, Deb Bustance a single and 1 RBI, and Michelle Blair and Monica Yesh each got 1 RBI. The Saxon girls play again, at home, Wednesday afternoon against Lakewood. The Saxon softball squad opened the season against Eaton Rapids last Wednes­ day and beat the visiting team 166 in five innings. Eaton Rapids jumped out to a quick 8-0 lead in the first inning, but bad pitching by three pitchers gave the Sax­ ons the lead for good in their half of the first. Michelle Blair was win­ ning pitcher for the Hastings team. She gave up six runs on five hits, walked four and struck out three batten. The Saxons committed four Tammy Conner goi half the Saxon's four hits, Biair and Deb Bustance each had a single. Connor had RBIs, Sue Neil, two RBIs, Jody Moore, Deb Jaynes, Bustance, Stacy Reasor, Teresa Hause and Lisa Cole each got one RBI. The win left the Saxons 1-0 for the season. "Fielding and throwing erron plagued us all day," said Saxon baseball coach Bernie Oom following two loses to league powerhouse Sturgis Saturday in Hastings. Dan Howitt turned in his third strong performance on the mount this season in Saturday's opener. Howitt is 2-1 for the season. Howitt allowed only four hits in the first game. He walked five batters, one was intentional. "But his team mates committed 8 errors," Oom moaned Monday morning. Sturgis opened scoring in the game with 3 runs in the second inning on 5 Hastings errors. But the Saxons bounced back in the third on a single by Paul Smith, a double by Steve Morgan and another single from Chris Forman. They tied the game in the fifth inning when Jon Joynson led-off with a single. John Karpinski smacked another single. A good bunt by Paul Smith followed, and a sacrifice grounder by Morgan got him a RBI. The Saxons got the goahead run in the sixth inning when Bruce Meyers singled and moved to second base on a passed ball. Meyers stole third and scored on a sharp single off the bat off Eric Shaeffer. But Sturgis rallied in the seventh on 3 hits and 2 more Saxon errors to win the game, 8-4. Howitt took the loss. He went 7 innings and gave up 8 runs on 4 hits. Howittshowed good composure losing a game he should have won. He beat Delton last Wednesday, sinking out 7 batters, walking 1 batter ard allowing no hits. He threw only 91 pitches in the Delton game. In game two Saturday Bob Hause took the mound for Hastings. He suffered through 7 innings, gave up 9 hits, walked only 2 batters, struckout 6 more, but watched his team mates commit more errors and a late rally fail. Seven of'the nine Sturgis hits were doubles. The Saxons collected 13 hits in the second contest Saturday, but stranded 10 men on base - three in a crucial seventh inning rally. Hastings scored first with two quick runs in the first inning Paul Smith singled and advanced to third on Dann Howitt's single. Smith scored when a pick-off play by Sturgis went away. Bruce Meyers singled Howitt home for a 2-0 lead. Sturgis got one back in the second one two doubles. Hastings went up 31 in the second on singles by Mark Larsen and John harpinski, a stolen base and a walk. But Sturgis tied it at 3 apiece in the fifth on a single and two doubles. They went up a run in the sixth, scoring on a walk, or wild pitch, and a Saxon error. in sixth on a single by Spyker who reached second on a Sturgis throwing error. Mark Larsen's single moved him to third and he scored on a Trojan error. But Sturgis put the game away in the seventh with a 8 run rally. The Saxons loaded the bases with no one out in the last of the seventh, but three straight ground outs, “Finished us off," Oom said. Hastings meets Marshall Tuesday, here.

Now a senior, Ooster­ house is gathering the fruit of four years work and growth, according to Weller. Weller said excellent team defense and timely hating helped in a 9-5 victory over Hopkins. Oosterhouse allow­ ed only three hits, three walks and struck out nine bat.ers. Kim DeVrous got three RBI on a bases-loaded double in the Hopkins game and Lezlie Woods got two hits and two RBIs. Tt was our first, error-free game ever," Weller said. Wednesday night T-K squared off against a Lake­ wood team fresh from two smashing wins over Maple Valley Monday night. A tougher game than the Hop­ kins match-up. Lakewood got 7 hits off Oosterhouse. But good defense, 8 strike­ outs and only 4 walks given up by Oosterhouse helped the Trojans retain the win. Weller said, “We got 6 runs in 3 innings, then just held on for the win - we had only one error and got the hits when it counted.” Woods got a bases-loaded double in the first inning for Middleville and Marcia Smith had 2 hits and 2 RBI.

The largest trims-estimated at $219,000-would be taken from the teachers, by freezing their salaries, eliminating the cost-of-living allowance and longevity pay, and no longer paying tuition for teachers continuing their eduction. The rest of the estimated savings, some $145,000, could be gained - by eliminating t.wo administrative positions, combining two part-time assistant positions, and reducing the salaries of the superintendent, business manager and principals. The committee had several other suggestions, which did not have price tags attached, but which could also result in other savings, if adopted. Here is the entire list of proposals as submitted to every school board member by the Committee' for Quality Education: PROPOSALS “Since the past year has been a difficult one for teachers, students, administration, and parents, we would like to submit to the board the following suggestions for your serious consideration and immediate action. “A. We suggest that a PTA or similar- parent­ school organization ' be established to generate better communication between teachers, administration, and the community. “B. In light of the current contract negotiations with the teachers we encourage these additions to the contract. “1. In addition to being certified,a teacher in the Jr. High School must be qualifed with a major or minor in the subject area he or she is teaching. “2. In order to attain this goal, a change in lay-off procedure must occure. Lay­ off and call back must, therefore, be made by seniority in department, rather than seniority by number of years taught. “C. That a doser ’ook be taken at the hobby courses, (Beauty, Charm, and Fashion, Babysitting, Convenience Foods, Aviation, Photography, Jewelry, etc.) in the Jr. and Senior High School. Elimination of some or all of these classes can save not only teachers salaries, but cost of supplies. This extra revenue could then be used toward restoration of programs like Ag. and Building Trades which have been cut. "D. That strong consideration be given to getting out of the Twin Valley League at the end of the present school year, and concentrated efforts be made in finding or forming a new affiliation with schools dose to home. We beleive this action would not only save us money on transportation costs, but generate additional money for gate receipts. “E. Finally, • with discussion of an increase in operating millage we suggest a closer look at our present situation to find and make appropriate financial cuts, without affecting the quality of education. In light of the survey of 17 surrounding districts, we find that administration costs are much too high. We are spending 147.17 per student, which is $10.45 higher than the next highest school district. In order to bring administrative salaries in line with surrounding districts we make the following recommendations with suggested amounts. 1 “1. That the Superintendents salary be reduced by 15%, With this reduction, our Superintendent would still be the highest paid of the 197 districts surveyed. “2. That the Business Manager's salary be red6ced by 8%. “3 That the positions of Director of Instruction and Administrative Asst, for Non Instruction be eliminated, and the supervisors presently under them report directly to the Superintendent. “4. That all administrative expense accounts be reviewed and appropriate cuts made. “5. That the executive administrative receive np COLA. "Estimated Savings for Exec. Adm. $97,000. "6. Principals. “(a) That all principal’s salaries be reduced to bring them in line with the aver­ age of the survey. “(b) Since we have one position of Asst. Principal at the High School, and two people at full administrative pay filling that position half time each, keep" the most effective one as full time Asst. Principal and climate the other. "(c) That principals receive no COLA. “Est. Savings on Prin. $48,000. "This would allow us to put all remaining principals back to full .time administration. We also believe that this should give them time to assume some of --.-u.-u.:.. of _» a. the responsibilities the administrators who were cut. * “Total estimated savings on Adm. $145,000. ■ “7. Teachers. "(a) That there be a freeze on teacher’s salaries, and COLA be eliminated for the next contract period. “Est. Savings $154,000. "(b) That longevity be eliminated from future contracts. Est. Savings $55,000. “(c) That tuition for additional schooling no longer be paid by the school district. “Est. Sav. $10,000. “(d) That the procedure for determining coaching salaries be changed from a percentage of their base salary, to a flat sum, which would be brought in line with coaching salaries of ------------j:— districts. surrounding "(e) That teachers no longer be allowed free admission to extra curricular activities.

Porter u in the affirmative wnen asked if the state coui I rtop in and make policy denuuds on the proposed local system.Citing a system in Roscommon County, Porter said they’d, "Outspent their budget before we were able to stop them.” He indicated the DOT keeps close tabs on system expenses now. Porter told commissioners funding for two busses operated by the Commission on Aging would continue, but he said there are no guarantees as to how long funds will be available. Lee Madden, technical assistant for the Bureau of Community Services disagreed with Porter. He ■aid, “There's no free lunch -' realistically, bus systems don't pay." But he added under current arrangements the county, “Can get its feet wet - try'the system for two years at no ccst, then keep it if they like it and it works.” Commissioner Richard Dean observed a transit system should eventually cost the county money - just what commissioners say they want to avoid. State Bureau of Transportation Planning spokesman Robert Kuehne ■aid he is responsible for planning transit “Twentv-four systems are operating in Michigan and the state is miking an effort to help those needing assistance. He said state voters have demonstrated willingness to supporttransit systems with local millage. Madden urged the county to, "Try the system out - you have nothing to lose." By testing the program, Madden said, “You will be in a position to intelligently discuss costs, problems', ridership and you'll be giving the economy time to shake down." Director of Eaton County's transit system, Steven Guile, said the Eaton system has, “Carried 10 thousand more passengers than projected, but we're also running about 40 thousand dollars in the red." State Rep. Donald Gilmer addressed the workshop saying he spoke as a legislator, not an administrator. Gilmer said, “There is no guarantee of funding past the second year of operation." Gilmer said he believes future mass transits needs -of I metropolitan centers are i more apt to get state funds 'than a rural transit authority. Gilmer said Michigan taxes are rising, “Faster than inflation,” and indicated personal support of Governor Milliken's tax shift proposal. Commissioners heard Eloise Wolf say the present bus system has lost one driver due to CETA fund cuts. She said nearly $150 thousand is needed to continue the county's present transit system. She said unless funds are forth­ coming, even the present level of service could be discontinued. Transportation coor­ dinator Sam Marfia said county transit programs could be scaled down if Only real fireworks at the meeting came near day's end shortly after 4 p.m. when Hastings councilwoman Mary Lou Gray asked Radant, “When will you schedule a public meeting to hear the opposition? Told such a meeting may not occur. Gray retorted, “I think you've failed in the objective of this workshop." Gray said the term 'work­ shop*, Implies commentary from all points of view." She added withholding public commentary, “Until nearly all the guests have gone certainly poses a question of ethics." Gray said she'd gone to considerable trouble gathering documents, “But was not given a chance to present facts." She said Radant paid no attention to an opinion by the prosecutor contradicting a claim made by Porter that no tax levying power would accure to governmental units involved in a transit system. She said County Prosecutor Judy Hughes and other local legal officials had told Radant Act 7 gives such bodies the right to levy taxes for transit systems. �THEHASTINGSBANNER, Wed.

Dear Mr. Groos: As president of the Hastings Band Boosters and as a parent of a band student 1 am writing this letter to inform you of the concerns I have for the instrumental program in the Hastings Schools. ‘ It is ridiculous to expect only one instructor to maintain the high quality of music that has become expected from our band. Presently the school system employs one instructor for at least 300 students. These students range from the sixth grade through the twelfth grades. This past year youngsters in the fifth grade were deprived of the opportunity to become band members. The Band Boosters would request that the fifth grade program be reinstated to offer music to those children who are eager and willing to learn. It is my opinion that a band student receives far more educational valuo as a band student than any other elected offered. A band student learns to work with other people, in both small and large groups, thereby developing character and citizenship skills. He or she will have the opportunity to become a group leader for a part icular instrumental section, or on the marching field. Opportunities for leadership is very limited in other subjects or electives. The band student is given an opportunity to develop an interest in fine arts. Many former students have continued their education in the fine arts field. Mr. Amsterburg, the current band director, has averaged a 12-18 hour work­ ing day this year. The stress factor will certainly affect the quality music we strive for. It seems apparent that our school system should investigate the possibility of, at least one part-time, or better yet, another full time instructor. Sixth, seventh and eighth graders are still at an impressionable aje. Having an active band, with instructors that are not operating in a highly stress­ ful situation will most probably keep the interest of many youngsters, and statistics prove that children who take part in healthy extracurricular activities are not apt to become “problem” children.

He said that during periods when there are custodians on duty, a small "energy fee" is being charged. On weekends or other times when there is no custodian normally in the building, enough is charged to pay the custodian for overtime duty. Miller told Allen to have the square dance club contact him, but Allen responded, "It's too late now, we had to look for another place." In answer to a question from Joe Duffy regarding rental fees. Miller suggested that the board review the policy and adopt one which reflects actual costs. Judy Walldorff asked what the outlook was for next year regarding further cuts in school programs, in view of the schools’ financial position. Board President Richard Groos answered that barring unforseen revenue losses, the outlook is “kind of fike this year." He said that financial situations seems to be "much more calm than a year ago." and that the state school aid is already set for next year, making budget­ ing easier. Groos said that some cuts cannot be made because the items are required by state law, and the board is "constrained by union contracts...and the laws of Michigan." In-answer to a question from Dwight Hamman, Groos said that "if we have additional millage, then additional programs will be provided," beyond those offered this year. Barring new millage, he said, “the best that could happen is that next year will be as well funded as this year." Tom Maurer, a former president of the Hastings Education Association, took issue with Groos' use of the word “union”. He said that he belongs to an association, not a union. Superintendent Guenther chimed in that "the difference is mythical” between the teachers' association and a union, but Maurer disagreed. Maurer stated that associations do not have a legal right to strike, but unions do. Jan Miller, sitting in the front row, remarked aloud, "Remember that in September."

I felt they were reading something into the item that wasn't there but they were very nice about it but in all fairness and lest someone else may have a question I want to try to clarify the article. First, it was Mr. Hampel's barn fire that was reported by a member of the Barry County Sheriff’s department that took the departments to the blaze the second time. The large barn on the place Mr. Hampel purchased some time ago was blown down during a severe wind stonr and it was not only an eyesore but was a real hazard. The Hampels have two small children and accidents can happen. He salvaged what material he could from the wrecked building and several others also got some lumber there. Then he wanted to dean up the mess and made arrangements with the fire department to burn it or at least supervise and oversee the job. The fire department, if they are to be efficient, have to have train­ ing and this would be a “training run." Mr. Hampel made the department a financial “gift" to mare than cover the cost of the job. 1 was not pointing t? this particular fire when I expressed my own thought about so many buildings being burned purposely when so many families have turned to wood as a means for heating their homes. Nor did I realize that these old buildings, especially those with the large timbers, are so extremely hard to tear down and doubly hard to cut up once they are down.

Wolpe To Co-Chair Energy Task Force The Northeast - Midwest Congressional Coalition has named Reps. Howard Wolpe (D-Mich.) and Claudine Schneider (R-R-I) as.coehairs of a new task force to examine how state severance taxes and rising energy prices are affecting economics of Midwest and Northeast states. The coalition is a bipartisan alliance of more than 200 members of Congress from the northern tier of industrial states. Severance taxes are levied by a few energy-rich slates on the production of cil, coal and natural gas. Decontrol of oil and natural participate in such things as ?as produce huge foods, jewelry, crafts, revenues for these states, games, weapons, etc. A rising energy prices summary of the Indian continue to threaten activities will bring to focus economic recovery in the their understanding of the energy-poor Frostbelt, activities they experienced.

Lastly, we would like to restore some information deleted and correct a couple of typographical errors from last week's West Woodland column. developing a severance tax policy that all regions of the country can accept as fair,** Wolpe said. Severance taxes are a critical issue for the Frost belt because most of its economically troubled states cannot afford massive transfer of wealth from consuming to producing states, Schneider said. “Increasing severance industrial manufacturing sector in particular depends on energy recources that Western states have in abundance." "Our region faces the prospect of accelerating energy prices over the next decade," she said. “We must collectively find a remedy that is palatable to all regions of our country." Severance taxes are more than a Frost belt-Sunbelt issue because 20 of the 38 energy-poor states are in the South and West, Schneider said. According to Chase Econometrics, Georgia and North Carolina produce only six percent of their energy needs, while Tennessee, South Carolina and Florida are dependent on out-ofstate sources for more than 70 percent of their energy _____ _ consumpl ion. Wolpe and Schneider said (he new task force would help develop the coalition's legislative strategy on severance taxes and would also urge: A review of how fuel; Ice increases since 1973 have affected state revenues from severance taxes and royalties, A review of stale and private estimates of anticipated severance tax revenues through 1990. An examination of the extent to which these taxes are “exported" to energydependent states, A study of how federal allocation formulas are distorted by severance tax revenues. An analysis of current federal police on severance taxes including relevant legislation, case law and administrative law, A study of the possible options for federal policy, with particular attention to such constitutional issues as taxing power and interstate commerce. Wolpe said he would urge the coalition to conduct a dialogue with the state of Alaska, where state legislators have proposed a system to invest surplus revenues from oil in major development projects in other states. Wolpe said a program like the one proposed in Alaska could be a major source of investment capital for the economically lagging states of the Frostbelt.

CARLTON TOWNSHIP 1SWWW’ OFFICIAL ZONING MAP Success More than 350,000 participating Michigan drivers made the first three months of 1981 the best quarter ever for the Michigan Medical Information and Organ Donor Program, Secretary of State Richard H. Austin reported today. The program, authorized by the Michigan Legislature, was implemented in 1977 when medical information and organ donor labels were mailed with driver licenses. Currently, all drivers receive the labels with new and renewed licenses. The label authorizes use of organs for transplantation in event of death. In addition, it shows blood type of the driver, important information in the event of an accident. David St. Clair, Executive Director -of the National Kidney Foundation of Michigna, said that “Because the first three months of 1981 were the best period ever for recovery of organs for transplantation, many lives were saved. Distribu­ tion of labels directly to drivers made the difference.” The Department also provides labels to doctors, medical personnel, organ procurement and transplant societies, foundations and churches. Labels are available at all Secretary of Stale branch offices.

Dancers Plan Celebration On May 3, 1981, the Quadrille Square & Round Dance Club of Battle Creek, is celebrating its 40th anniversary with a square dance at the Federal Center from 2 to 5. Squares will be called by Russ Young, and rounds cued by Mickey Halvorsen & Les Springer. All former members are invited, whether or not they are still dancing, and all square & round dancers are welcome. The Quadrille Club was organized in 1941 and has danced continuously ever since. The first dances were to records only and then in 1955 Meryl Grant became the first caller. Stan Macey took over as caller in 1959, another change in callers was made in 1961 when Les Carl & Lou Doty shared the duties. In March 1967, Dick Kenyon was hired to call, he was, replaced in 1974 by the present caller, Russ Young. In 1969 Alane Ratliff began cueing rounds for the club dancers. In 1971 Mickey Halvorsen was hired to teach and cue rounds. Mickey svill cues for the club once a month, the other dance is cued by Les Springer. Quadrilles dance the first and fourth Sat. from Sept, thru May, at the Valley View Elementary School, in Springfield. Every fall a new class is taught by the caller and a workshop is held for dancers who wish to learn the latest calls. INGENUITY New Kensington, Pa., January 22, 1928. As the final bottle rolled down the line, Alcoa's John Sharp ac­ cepted congratulations. Guests from the Am,rian packaging industry had just seen a unique new capping process in action. Till then, shoppers had no way of telling if a bot­ tle had been opened. With Sharp’s process, a protec­ tive aluminum band was rolled into the cap. It had to be broken before the cap could be removed. If the band was intact, con­ sumers could be sure the contents had not been tampered with. Today, this kind of aluminum closure is found on beverages, food and pharmaceuticals . . . world­ wide. Brought about by John Sharp, an Alcoan with a keen inventive mind who wanted to get things done. Today! inflation fighting ideas^ Use Durable Materials to Make Repairs Last To avoid continual home repairs, make the repairs you do last longer. A number of building products on the market today answer this need. Here are a few of the more note­ worthy ones. Most U.S. homes have as­ phalt roof shingles. Asphalt shingles with a fiber glass base, however, are the most durable; most carry a 20-or 25-year guarantee. Made of an inorganic material, glass fiber shingles won’t absorb water, so they can't curl, buckle or shrink. Experts at Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation, a leading build­ ing supply manufacturer, point out that they also have more weathering-grade asphalt for better protection against rain, wind, snow and the drying action of the sun —a shingle's worst enemy. Siding is your home's next most important protec­ tive component. Al! sidings though those made of syn­ thetic materials generally need less than conventional “natural" sidings. Aluminum sidings don’t Eternal vigilance is the price of keeping your home in good shape. need repainting and won’t rot, warp or blister. Most are guaranteed for at least 20 years. A relative newcomer in the synthetic field, vinyl, of­ fers all the advantages of aluminum—plus it won’t dent. It is also less suscep­ tible to scratches. Synthetic sidings must be washed periodically and can buck1? in extreme heat if improperly installed. Vinyl siding also may crack if it becomes brittle from the cold. copy of "Keeping Your ____ Home .in Shape,” write: N.B.l. Meeks, Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation, Fiberglas Tower, Toledo, Ohio 43659. Voting members of the zoning board consist of chairman Larry Kornstadt, Norman Stanton, Dale Conklin, Wilbur Solomon, Vice Chairman Ron Coats, Dick Hartman and Secretary Richard Scott. The majority of approximately 50 people at the meeting came to speak regarding application of MIC Limited for a variance to reconstruct the drive-in theater screen which burned last year. They also want to relocate the project booth near the east property line. MIC’s attorney, Michael Sandborn, presented site plahs and specifications and stated the changes “impede and impair passers-by to see what is on the screen.” He said Plans would comply with Article 8 Section C of the Zoning Ordinance." The angle of the screen "would change away from the road, and would be set back 75*. as an attempted accomodation by the property owner." Appeals Board member Solomon said, "If the screen is moved and the projection booth is moved, the speakers may have to be moved because of the change in angle. That may cost more than the 50% restriction." Sandborn replied. "That assumes that the speakers will be moved. They will not be moved." Gordon Barlow questioned Sandborn on plans to erect a 50 foot screen. He said change in screen angle will result in people on River Road being able to see the film." Sand­ born responded, “That's assuming the same type of film will be shown as were shown last fall." Barlow asked if Sanborn was familiar with Title or Abstract opinions. Sandborn opted not to respond, stating that was not the purpose for which he was present. Barlow responded that the diagram, as submitted by MIC, does not correspond to the abstract. He said a property line dispute remains unsettled and felt no father consider­ ation should be given to the variance request. Gary Lyons, a property owner to the north, stated he had a disputed boundtry line. He also said a hill on his property overlooks the drive in and he’s observed 8 to 15 year olds sitting on the hill, watching movies. Mary Sonsmith observed, “If it's your responsibility to bring only what's decent, if you can keep mobilehomes from our community, homes which people can afford, and yet allow this screen, I as a citizen resent it. Where are the values in this? You are not helping our county, let alone our society." Mrs. Gordon Barlow at times visibly shaken, told the board, “I'm a mother of three children and I’ve pick­ ed up dirty literature for years," from all around our property next door to the theater. Gordon Barlow spoke often during the hearing. He said, he “would hate to own the $60-570 thousand dollar homes oh River Road, especially in the summer when you can hear the screaming, panting, moaning and groaning coming from the theater." Phil Hilliker, who is leasing Barlow's property next door to the theater site commented, “Turning the screen would hurt my business. Why shoe’d my business suffer because of that thing next door?" Residents also complained that River Road is often completed blocked, and hazardous when blocked. Bruce Augustyniak asked if there would be any deflecting lights on the River Road side of the property. “If lights are not relocated, they won't be effective." The Zoning Ordinance says, in part, “In the event that any non-conforming building or structure shall be damaged by fire, wind or an Act of God or the public enemy, and the cost of rebuilding or restoration shall exceed xh the value of such building or structure after rebuilding or restoration, the same (rebuilding) shall be permit­ ted only with the approval of the Board of Appeals.” Augustyniak asked Sandborn the amount of the insurance settlement on the burned screen. Sandborn responded that it was “an insurance matter and not public record." “How do you prove the 50% clause," asked Augustyniak. “You’ll have to take my word for it," responded Sandborn. Rev. Vaughn Drummonds who lives in the area and whose Wesleyan Camp is nearby, addressed the Board. "If the screen is up 50* in the air, it should be' enclosed so movies aren't visible outside the perimeter of the property. And the noise should be turned dewn, so adjoining properties aren’t subjected to the moaning and groaning." Donna Lambert asked, “Is it within your power to deny the variance on the basis of what’s best for the community? I want to know how you (the Board of Appeals) feel about the dirty movies". Board member Coats immediately respond­ ed, that, "if it were legally possible, I wouldn’t vote for a variance if it would eliminate porno." A citizen asked if there was no way to legally stop reconstruction of the screen to comply to the desire of the community. “I don’t think so," replied Board Chairman Kornstadt, “not based on feelings or moral' issues." “Like it or not," added Planning/Zoning Director Winifred Keller, “the Board must consider there ix value to the property." Attorney Sandborn stated the variance request was made on the burndown and restortation portion of the ordinance that being Section 8.3 and the property owner would be bound by the rules, regulations and codes of the county and state pertaining to reconstruction. Board member Solomon made a motion to table the request, pending receipt of cost figures and clarification was made on the boundry line dispute. Attorney Sandborn stated that the legal description Li correct. Any property line dispute should be taken up in a court of lau and not a the Appeals hearing. The motion to table was withdrawn and restated to table the matter until Tues day. May 5, pending receipt of figures for reconstruction. Other requests heard by the Board and approved were requests from Mr. 3rd Mrs. Richard Buehler who asked for a variance to set their mobOe home doser to the lot line than allowed; a request from the West Michigan District of the Wesleyan Church, rep­ resented by Rev. Vaughn Drummonds, requesting a variance to expand the church camp at 1993 Camp­ ground Road; David Dakin’s request to convert his existing one stall attached garage into a workshop and construct a new two stall garage 30’ in front of the present garage; Charles H. Bridges request to build a garage closer to a side line and closer to the road at his site at 203 Lakeview Drive, Delton; and Phillip Hilliker’s request to remodel and convert property at 1907 S. Bedford Road into offices and a recreation complex. that being Lloyd Taylor’s request to erect a three bedroom house 58’ from the center of Banfield Road, Johnstown Township. Mr. Taylor stated that he bought the 99’ x 208’ parcel of property, only to learn after he purchased it the 99* starts at the center of Banfield Road. He stated there was a house on the property years ago but it burned down. He stated it was even doser to the road than his proposed dwelling. Appeals Board member Coats observed that the parcel is less than one-half the legal size of a lot to build on. Several adjoining propety owners objected, stating that the parcel was just too small. A motion was made to deny the variance on the basis that the parcel did not meet the minimum lot requirement. A unanimous vote was cast. One request was denied, Attorney Michael Sandborn, representing MIC Limited, presented his client's request for a zeafag variance at the Tuesday, April 21, meeting of the Zoning Board ef AppwJs. After lengthy discussion, the reqnest was tabled, pending receipt of figures for reconstruction. The request will again be heard Tuesday, May 5.

This activity, Gaskill warns, could mean some “bad deals" for farmers if they sign con­ tracts without first fully understanding them. "Because of increasing competition between lease salesmen, verbal offers of thousands of dollars have been made to landowners for a lease contract,” said Gas­ kill. "However, further in­ vestigation by the land­ owner reveals he has signed a lease agreement for much less than he was led to believe. "This kind of a bad deal can be avoided with just good common sense," he explained. “First, a land­ owner should never sign a contract unless he knows and understands exactly what il says -no matter what he is told. Secondly, he should not allow himself to l»e pressured into signing any agreement until he has. the opportunity to check it out.” Beneficial oil and gas leases can be negotiated, Gaskill said, but a landowner "owes it to himself and his family to thoroughly review all the information he can about leases." Qualified at­ torneys and local bankers are good resources available to farmers, he said. Gaskill has developed a brochure for farmers entitl­ ed “A Landowner's Guide to Oil and Gas Leasing." Most all streams appear to be full of steelhead. Good catches are still being taken on the St. Joseph River beiow Berrien Springs and at Buchanan. Success was fair to good on the Paw Paw River below the Watervliet Dam. Nightcrawlers and spawn continue to produce the best catches. Some 15 to 20 pound chinook were reported taken out of St. Joseph just off the Cook Nuclear Plant. Charter boat Captains are reporting limit catches of salmon when they could get out on the Big Lake. Pier fishing was also producing fair catches of steelhead, brown trout as well as some coho. Inland lake fishing continues at a slow pace, with some of the avid fishermen getting fair catches of perch from Diamond Lake, Berrien County. Bluegill success is picking up, most gills running small and starting to move into the shallows on the shallower lakes. Good catches taken on Lake Templene, St. Joseph County. Good catches of specs take on Austin, Gourdneck and Hogset lakes, Kalamazoo County. Fair success for crappies, noted on Pleasant Lake, St. Joseph County. Sucker runs are in full swing with good success noted on the St. Joseph and Galien ’Rivers in Berrien County. To-date no major smelt runs have made'an appeamance. They should start almost any night now into our Lake Michigan tributaries. Organize Against Proposal A Barry/Kalamazoo Counties organization call­ ing itself the Citizen's Committee For Tax Cuts, Not Shifts will meet Thursday * morning in the Kalamazoo Public Library, on the second floor. Ron Reisterer, Kalamazoo, spokesman for the organization, said purpose of the group is t wofold. “Our first goal is to defeat Governor Milliken's tax shift Proposal “A”, he said. "Then we’ll sponsor a citizen’s initiative drive to get real, solid tax cut proposals before the Michigan legislature." Reisterer added. Reisterer said the committee will raise money for full page newspaper ads in state papers against the governor’s proposal. “Our job is to inform the voters about how the shift will work." he concluded. Often, the older one gets the more meticulous one be­ comes. When senior golfers carry this over to the putting green, the tendency is to overstudy putts. Rather than helping your putting, study■ ing the line of the hole too long tends to be confusing. At the core putting is a matter ofYou inHebert stinct. have probably noticed that on the days you are putting well, you see the line to the hole the moment you crouch behind the ball and sight the shot. It's some­ thing you learn to see as your experience sharpens your sense of how the break and slope of the rreen will affect the roll of your bail. Many golfers fail to trust their first instinctive reading and ftart fussing for facts that will prove to them they have not sighted the correct line. My advice is that when you look a putt over stay with the first line that catches your eye, and you will find that you are on the right road.

Pre­ vious trips were taken in 1973, 1975, and 1977. Some 70 students have participat­ ed in these trips. James Oliver, HHS French and social studies teacher, is the advisor of the French Chib and has organ­ ized and co-ordinated all of the club’s travels. The following is Oliver’s account of 13 French student’s adventures in Quebec this spring. By JAMES OLIVER While many area resi­ dents followed the interstate highways south to the sun, a group of Hastings High School students followed the Amtrak-Canadian National route to North America’s only walled city: historic Quebec City, Canada, found­ ed by Samuel de Champlain in 1608. Planning for the trip start­ ed last September as the French Club members dis­ cussed fund-raising concepts. The main activities were a light-bulb sale, a year-long candy sale and two bake sales. On Monday. April 6, the group of 13 students and two adults met in front of Has­ tings High School. Several parents provided rides down to the Amtrak railroad sta­ tion in Battle Creek. Boarding the modern Am­ trak Superliner was totally new concept for many within the group as they had never traveled by train before. By the end of the trip they could boast of being seasoned rail travelers, having ridden on eight trains and having trav­ eled 1,800 miles round trip. After a pleasant twohour trip to Detroit (we had the entire coach to our­ selves) the first problem became how to get across the Detroit River to Wind­ sor. Because the tunnel bus­ ses were jjtill on strike, we opted to take the first of several taxi rides. Leaving Windsor at 6 p.m. a four-hour ride to Toronto provided our first glimpse of C.N. trains, whose passen­ ger service is now known as VIA. In Toronto hy 10:30, the group had just about an hour before being boarded (be­ fore regular passengers) on VIA train number an. the overnighier known as the Cavalier". a slow bn' esting experience for those who may remember the joys of trying to sleep while twisting and turning in every possible position in one's coach seat. (There was a “sleeper” included on this train, but coach fare is considerably cheaper and much more^“fun.”) About 6 a.m. the Cavalier crossed the provincial bor­ der between Ontario and Quebec. Suddenly French was heard from every quar­ ter, including train crews, who must be bi lingual. A tired but excited group had its first view of the world’s second-largest French-speaking city as Number 58 pulled into Mon­ treal, Quebec, at 7:30 a.m., right on time. A final change was then made to the "Rapido” for the last 175 miles to our destina­ tion, Quebec City. The first views of Quebec City were breath-taking as the train passes over several bridges before crossing on long trestle leading to the suburb of Ste. Foy. We knew we were truly in the "Belle Province." Excitement reigned (amid fatigue) as another taxi ride (this time negotiated in French) brought the group to the Universal Hotel in Ste. Foy. Sauna and swimm­ ing proved to be a good “r and r" attraction, followed closely by an exploratory 20-minute bus ride into old Quebec. Having snacked for the better part of 24 hours, the group was by this time ready for a full meal taken just outside the old St. Jean gate. The realization was just hitting that "every­ body" did really speak French here. (It doesn’t seem fair that little threeyear-olds should do so easily what comes so hard to most of us!) A group walk into “Le Vieux Quebec" led every­ body up to the promontory overlooking the St. Law­ rence River. As we looked east, it was fascinating to think that the Atlantic Ocean was yet another 800 miles to the east, even though we were just north of Maine. As groups formed for the rde back to the hotel, sev­ eral members had the good fortune to notice a large (and growing larger) crowd in front of the Capitol Movie Theatre. That evening was i he world premiere of "Les Ploiiffe," a film about QueImn City in the 1930's and he said that King adds “a little bit of magic” to make the recreation program successful. Carolyn Coleman presented some amusing gifts to the Kings, including bottles containing soil from Camp Algonquin and Bob King Park, Algonquin Lake water, and some "heavy­ dew” (rain water). She then presented a check to.the Kings from the Community on their retirement. Both Pudge and Bob King spoke briefly. Mrs. King said their time in Hastings had been "such a happy 35 years." Bob called their life here "wonderful’’ and said he appreciated 35 years of support from the community. “I don't know of any other community in the world where you’d have that kind of cooperation," he concluded. CWU to Celebrate May Fellowship Day Plans Reunion Fellowship Day celebration, church women express their commitment to ecumenical worship and action in which they share nationally and internationally. 1981 marks the 40th birthday of Church Women United as a National ecunmenical Movement in which Christian women witness to their faith and unity in Jesus Christ through prayer, study, celebration and action. The first May Fellowship Day Celebration was held in 1933 when "Dedication Day” brought together church women in their own communities. Celebrated each year on the first Friday in May. May Fellowship Day emphasizes the potential for creative and healing relationships in every community. Come to the celebration to share in the history and hopes of CMU in Barry County as we pray together and develop peace-building relationships so necessary for healthy communities.

Ceremonies Set for Law Day Friday The Law Day Committee of the Barry County Bar Association met Friday to determine final details for Law Day ceremonies plan­ ned for Mqy 1st. May 1st of each year is designated in the United States as Law Day. On that date, the American Bar Association seeks to remind the people of our land that our laws are the basis of our individual rights. The central message of Law Day *81 is that a just and democratic rule of law must orevail in order that we may live together in peace as a civilized society. In the final sense, we ourselves create the rule of law through our legislative representatives, our courts, and our daily conduct. The objective of Law Day ’81 is to foster greater public understanding of the principles on which our Nation was founded; to explore the links between law, our form of government and our way of life; arjd to examine how these fundamental elements can be strengthened. In support of Law Day ’81, the Barry County Bar Association urges educators, law enforcement officials, church members, service club members and all other leaders in this community to speak out, to remind those who have forgotten or never really understood, that it is the Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights that stand between our Nation and countries that do not foster freedom for all citizens. Each year the Barry County Bar Association holds its annual Law Day ceremony at the Barry County Courthouse. At this ceremony, the association presents the Liberty Beil Award to an appropriate citizen who has rendered outstanding community services which strengthens the effectiveness of the American system of freedom and liberty under law. This year’s Law Day ceremony is being held on May 1, at 11:00 a.m. in the Circuit Courtroom at the County Courthouse. The average person needs about 40 different nu­ trients to stay healthy.

P«r 3 Citizens Committee Leaves Decision On Millage Format to School Board The Hastings Citizens Millage Committee Thurs­ day declined to make a recommendation on the form a proposed millage issue would take if placed on the ballot in June. Previously, the committee had recommended that a millage be put before the people. High School Principal Robert VanderVeen, who chaired the committee, said that there was no majority view within the committee as to how the millage should be presented. Various options were discussed of breaking the millage up for academic and extra­ curricular programs. The motion on the subject was to leave the wording of the ballot proposal up to the Board of Education. VanderVeen said he felt the concensus of the committee was for the board to consider a way to present a ballot proposal which would be limited to the support of basic academic essentials. Before considering the form of a millage proposal, discussion was held reconsidering the previous decision to recommend a millage vote. VanderVeen said that some members of the committee wanted to reconsider that recommendation, but no motion was passed to change to the previous recommend­ ation. During the discussion, VanderVeen read a letter from Richard Thomas, Hastings Township Supervisor, and Forest Foley, Rutland Township supervisor, opposing a Center St.; the Court House millage vote, and another and True Value Hardware.

On Civil Defense The GOP monthly meet­ ing was jointly held with the County Republican Commit­ tee was held Monday, April 20, at the Court House. The program was present­ ed by Larry Hollenbeck, Barry County Civil Defense Director. He showed a film and answered questions per­ taining to civil defense in Barry County. The film was "The Salt II Syndrome" which gave the imbalance of strategical arms between the USSR and the United States. It pointed out that our main line of defense is mutual assured destruction, which leaves the United States population as hos­ tages in the nuclear stand­ off. In case of crisis, our defense, as it stands today, is a mini-relocation. Barry County is the designated host area for Kent County and part of Kalamazoo Coun­ ty.

Businessmen must take advantage of political action committees to gain some political clout, local business­ men were told by a State Chamber of Commerce official last Tuesday. Bob Grant of the State Chamber urged members of the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce to form a local group to collect and use political contributions, as now allowed under federal law. The law, he explained, allows business to raise funds for political support in a way which has been available to labor since the 1930s. He attributed much of labor’s political strength tn the fact that unions can collect and spend money for political purposes. Largely though the adept use of political action funds, Grant said, the Michigan Education Association has become the third strongest force in Michigan politics. By 1978. Grant said, the MEA stood second only to the United Auto Workers in the amount of moneycontributed to political causes in Michigan. The MEA, Grant said, collects its PAC funds by payroll cneckoff, and a member must submit a written request not to have the PAC funds deducted. He said 91 percent of the members participate in this “reverse checkoff." The most important time in the legislative process is election time. Grant said, and businessmen must contribute and work to get their candidate elected. It is not enough, he said, to wait until business-related issues come before the legislature and try to influence the outcome. To avoid burdensome paperwork. Grant said, local PACs must spend less than the limit of $500 for each primary and general election. This means, effectively, that PAC can ^pend up to $1,000 in an election year without getting into complicated reporting requirements. Grant suggested that a local business PAC plan to spend $300 to $400 on the campaign of a representative, and $600 to $700 on a state senator. This would make the local business PAC a substantial contributor to each of the two candidates. If there are several busines PACs in each legislative district, they could have a real influence on the election. Grant said. Next year will be an especially important one in state elections. Grant said. Because of the 1980 census, the legislature must be redistricted for the next election, and it would be a good time to get pro-bus­ iness candidates elected. The pattern set next year will have an effect for the next decade, he said. In 1980, Grant said, business PACs “came of age politically." Since about 90 of the 110 seats filled at each election are politically safe, the State Chamber picked 15 races that it considered "critical." Business "took on organized labor at their own game and beat them,” Grant said, as business-oriented candidates won 12 of the 15 critical races.

When 1 applied for social security retirement benefits at 65, 1 was told dial if 1 work and earu over $5,500 this year, my social security check will be reduced SI for every S2 I earn over the 'imit. But I was also told that my benefits would not be affect* ed by the amount of my company pension or by the amount of my investment income. I am confused. A. Social security benefits are intended to partially replace earnings which are lost when someone is unable to work because of age, disability, or death. Thus, only earnings are considered under the earu.jgs test. In fact, people are encouraged to have other forms of income to supplement social security benefits. To learn how specific types of income are treated, contact any social security office. Q. After my father died, I paid for all the funeral expenses. Should my mother or 1 apply for the social security lump-sum death payment? A. If a person is insured at the time of death, a lumpsum payment of $225 can be paid to a husband or wife who was living in the same household. If your mother was living with your father at the time he died, she should file an application with social security; other­ wise, you should file for repayment of the funeral expenses.

SECOND LOOK Man Created a Beast, And It Devoured Him By LARRY HAMP Murky, clandestine reports from northern Europe alerted American defense policymakers early in World War II. Suspicious German activities indicated the Nazis could be producing an atomic bomb. The western allies hastily marshalled industrial forces, money and brains to beat Hitler to the punch. Results were tremendous explosions at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the end of the war and dismay In Soviet government circles. They feared the west could and might use the powerful weapons to dominate -world affairs. Russians remembered too well the expedition into their country by the allies following World War I. Paranoia triumphed. Soon the Russians stunned the west by exploding their own atomic weapon. H-bombs followed A-bombs and clean bombs followed dirty. The cycle was completed with {theoretical! invention of N-(for neutron I bomb, an incredibly dirty weapon that destroys all life - quickly without major damage to buildings or industrial plants. Maybe it's just hard to people to believe the danger these weapon systems, and nuclear energy in general, present to our species and to life on earth. Some estimate the Fermi reactor plant near Monroe, Mich., was within minutes of killing up to 3 mBIion persons in the greater Detroit area in the Sixties. How dose Harrisburg came to extinction in the Three Mile Island crisis may never really be mode part of the public record. Man is trying to power his over-powered urban complexes with an energy source even its own backers admit they don't fully understand. If nuclear bombs, of the size commonly used by the Soviet Union, exploded simultaneously in Detroit and Chicago, experts say everything between the two cities would be fried to a cinder. What remained would remain uninhabitable for years. And who would need Civil Defense? People never seem to understand radiation isn't like shrapnel. Radiation penetrates homes, offices buildings and flesh. It bums the internal organs of man, beast and plants. Its long-term effects probably include mutation of species heavily exposed. There is no hiding-out from nuclear war. Only those with the earliest warning and the fastest means of withdrawal to safe shelter will emerge untainted. Even they'll re-enter a world vastly changed from what existed before the holocaust. Buildings and forests will be smashed and scorched. Water, food, earth and air will be more or less contaminated. Wind and rain will carry the poison to every comer of the earth. None of God's children, and none of man's works, will escape the terror once the beast is loosed. Nor are nuclear weapons the only source of such contamination. Recent press reports indicate a Japanese nuclear fadUty blew at least 40 tons of contaminated material into the sky and told no one for several weeks, is it possible such a thing could happen here? The answer is, "Of course it could happen here." Most likely, it has happened here - in the United States. There is no doubt scores, if not hundreds, of American nuclear energy industry workers have been poisoned on the job. One may have been murdered as she tried to inform reporters and officials about contamination problems. All in all, the records of industry, government and defense policymakers on nuclear issue are not likely to inmHi public confidence. Their openess and public honesty are open to question and should be carefully scrutinized. Defectors from the Societ scientific community have told American government officials Russians experienced a nuclear catastrophe that wiped out a whole town. They provided proof, including maps that no longer show the dty, though eartier map® do. Radiation, in words of a country boy somewhere, "Ain't nothin to mess around with." Americans should push for a moratorium on nuclear power and nuclear weapons development until scientists admit they know as much about atoms as they know about gunpower and electricity. To the Editor: I am sick and tired of being asked to pay higher taxes, for that matter, what taxpayer isn’t. I’d like to get mine lowered. In fact, I’d like to get the price of everything lowered so that others and myself could get back to the standard of living we were all used to just a few years ago. You can pick up just about any paper anywhere in the state of Michigan and you’ll find all kinds of articles about school districts look­ ing for wajs to make budget cuts. I have attended many school board meetings held by the Hastings Area School District. The Hastings School Board has, for the last eleven years, tried to operate ou the same millage assessment without a millage increase. This they are to be commended for. The fact that this millage was sufficient to operate on until the current school year was due to the state increase in the assessed evaluation on each piece of taxable property; this increased vur taxes, giving them more money. Finally inflation has caught up with, and pushed prices past, those affordable by the current millage. Hindsight is most always better than foresight, thus it’s easy to look at past decisions of those involved in running a school district and say they should have done this or that. I don’t think that’s fair. Inflation is the biggest thing responsible for the budget problems we have today, but certainly is not the only thing. I think we are all responsible as concerned taxpayers today, but not po concerned just a year or two back. No one then hardly cared enough to attend school board meetings to see what was going on. Why, heck, we all had money in our pocket­ book, then, or thought* we did. We can say teachers are responsible because of high salaries. That may be so, but they were negotiated by contract with the Board of Educaiton. May be their salaries are high, but aren't we all out to get as much as we can? Maybe it is time to try and re negotiate their salaries and do away with the cost of living. For the past several years, I have heard the people of Hastings brag about what a good school system we had. Teachers were really dedicated. They hadn't had a teacher strike in years. As you can see now, it’s because they have been making a good living. Why should they strike? Is it fair to ask them to take a salary cut when the raises were given to them in good faith? I don't think we would want any of our salaries cut. However, giving up cost of living after a fold-in of the current cost of living to our salaries and freezing their salaries at MICHIGAN MIRROR $80 Million Made Available For New Homes Now at 301 S. Michigan, Hastings Free Parking in Front for Our Customers --- — < Style Evaluation Friday, Revue lVoice 01 the Peo”,e By WARREN M. HOYT Construction Industry To Be Aided By Retiramenr Funds State Treasurer Loren Monroe has put forth a plan to use about $80 million in retirement system funds to provide financing for new home construction in Michigan. Under the proposal, the money is to be funneled through banks and savings and loan associations to purchase blocks of mortgages from home builders. Monroe said he is embarking on the new plan because high interest rates have stalled new home construction. "Our initiation of this program will provide builders with the necessary financing for new construction. It will provide leanders with money to loan potential home buyers." he said. He noted homeowners will find it easier to get mortgage money and the state employees retirement system will, mean­ while, get a "handsome” return on an insured certificate. The retirement system will get a new return of 13.7 percent if the loans are held to the maximum 30-year period. The lender (banks and savings and loan associations) will pay the state 12.875 percent interest and the issues will be guaranteed by the Mortgage Guarantee Insurance Corporation. Lenders would, in turn, be allowed to add one fourth of a percentage point as a handling fee when providing the funds for home builders. The money is to be used to finance single-family, owner-occupied property, with a maximum loan for any one mortgage at $125,000. Some 75 banks and savings and loans have agreed to handle the mortgages. Monroe said he expects all $80 million to be committed within a few months. Four separate issues of $20 million each will be authorized. Treasury department officials have discussed the program with the state's Investment Advisory Committee, which oversees investments of retirement funds, and Monroe said he did not expect that group to dis approve the mortgage program. Stan Arnold of the state Building and Construction Trades Council welcomed the state's action saying it would prod home construction and get the industry moving again. Governor William G. Milliken also praised the program saying it makes good sense to use Michigan money to solve Michigan problems. use the new prison overcrowding act to ease dangerous prison populations in state institutions. Corrections Department Director Perry Johnson said it has become obvious that actions would have to be taken under the act to reduce the populations. Prison population has been over rhe 12,874 capacity for more than 30 days - the factor which makes the overcrowding act take effect. Once an overcrowding emergency is requested by the Corrections Commission, the governor will have 15 days to either declare the emergency or hold the commission was incorrect. When an emergency is declared the minimum sentences of all prisoners-except those serving life tenns-will be reduced 90 days. Between 900 to 1,000 prisoners could be released as a result of reducing sentences, a process that could take as long ?» 60 days to finalize. Prison Overcrowding Act To Be Invoked Governor Milliken is expected to soon Special Ladies Day On Saturday, May 2, the ladies at the Barry County Church of Christ, 541 N. Michigan Ave.. Hastings, will be holding a seminar on "The Worthy Woman”. Three speakers are coming from out of town.

The ladies will be looking at the worthy woman in the home, in the church and in the commu­ nity. The day begins with registration at 9:30 a.m. and concludes at 3 p.m. The cost is $1.50 per person. Lunch will be provided. For more information phone 945-9803 or 945 2938. that level is not an unreason­ able request. We can say that administrators are responsible. Yes, they might be if, during the prosperous times, they weren't watching how the money was being spent. But then again, how many of us were watching how we spent our money during those times as compared to today? Maybe administrators have to have their salaries frozen. School board members have to make that decision. May of their decisions wil] be distasteful, but they have to be made in the taxpayers' best interest. They may not be too palatable for others. We can say the Superintendant is responsible because of the same reasons as his administrators, or maybe he was too candid with the school board. He is hired by contract to oversee the running of the schoc’ system. The board has to put their trust in him, but isn’t he the one that’s done more to make the Hastings School System one which everybody's been bragging about up until this past year? How about our state government? Haven’t they been continually making cuts in the amount of money given back to school districts. Because of the different legislation passed in recent years, school boards don't know when or even how much they are going to get from the state. This doesn't make planning very easy. Is the state responsible? Or is it the school board that is responsible? Certainly, one might question some of their decisions made at school board meetings. This is always bound to happen. Like, have they negotiated too high on salaries for the teachers, bus drivers, custodial, or cafteria workers and administrat­ ors? Who knows, but we had a school system to be proud of. To be fair to the board members, we have to all remember that these are not full time 40-hour-a-week jobs. These members come from different professions doctors, managers, house­ wives, retired people, etc., whatever we elect. They cannot be experts in all phases of running a school system, such as negotiating contracts, buying busses, running cafeterias, etc. That's why we hire superintendents and other administrators to advise and run the school for them. Being a school board member in a one-room­ school district is a lot different than the position our board members have to fill today. Being on the school board is an honor with a lot of responsibility. It is not a social position. All decisions made by members have to be in the best interest of education, not whether it will be popular or liked by those employed in the school system or those being education. I think it is time we all started working together and quit pointing fingers to lay the blame for our current situaiton. When I go to the polls to vote on a millage increase, I ask myself - do I want a school system I can be proud of, and can I afford it. The lever I pull will answer that questions. It will be difficult to answer. Sincerely Wesley D.

This reduction is being made considering that a high school student at the pre­ sent time may enroU in a maximum of five classes, whereas, prior to this semester students could enroll in six classes. This reduction in the number of classes that any student may enroll in was necessiated by the fact that teaching staff at the Junior-Senior High School included 44’A teachers last year, compared with the present staff of 33. The number of required English credits was reduced from 4 credits to 3 credits. The existing semester individually titled courses will be structured into full one-year courses and given a general title The vocational agriculture program will continue to be evaluated ns to its effectiveness and number of students served. As a result of making needed financial cuts, present plans are to offer one session of driver education this summer for 90 students. A second session of driver education for approximately 90 more students will be held providing the millage is approved. Superintendent Carroll Wolff reported that the April State aid in the amount of $270,141.04 had been received and deposited. He also reported that Dr. Kehoe, University of Michigan Bureau of School Services, had visited the high school on April 15 regarding school accredita­ tion. Although the written evaluation report hasn't been received, Dr. Kehoe did express his concern related to general reduction in staff along with course offerings with special attention given reduction in counselling and library staff. General fund bills in the amount of $42,998.29 were approved for payment. The board members approved the payment of the building debt retirement principal, interest, and the handling charges in the amount of $64,087.09. Payment on the principal amount to $50,000, leaving a building debt balance of $695,000. The March 20th payroll in the amount of $89,158.49, April 3rd payroll in the amount of $86,192.72 and the April 17th payroll in the amount of $85,634.41 were approved for payment and transfer to the payment account. A maternity leave of absence was approved for Maplewood Elementary teacher Sue Doozan beginning at the end of September. A maternity leave of absence was granted Fuller Street. Elementary teacher Claudette Holmberg begin­ ning with the opening of school next fall. Fuller Street elementary teacher Anne Byrne sent a letter stating that she desired to use 30 sick leave days during her maternity leave next fall. Anne Byrne submitted a letter of resignation as seventh, eighth and ninth grade cheerleadering advisor which was accepted by the board of education. A letter of resignation because of retirement was received from custodian Carl Thrun effective June 30, 1981. Carl has been employ­ ed the past seventeen years as a bus driver and custodian. He curently is the custodian at the Kellogg Elementary School. Jean Cusick, Uniserv Director for the Eaten County Education Associ­ ation, presented her concerns related to two grievances which had been filed by the local association, and thegrievenances had been denied by the school administrators. One grievance was a request from six Maplewood Elementary teachers to receive additional compensation or released compensation time for approximately 20 minutes each on Feb. 4, 1981 when the elementary librarian was absent and the students could not go to the library. Therefore, the students remained in the classroom, reducing the amount of preparation time. The grievance was denied by the administrators based upon the opinion that the negotiated contract as related to compensation time doesn't include the library under the present operation. This grievance was tabled until the May board meeting. The second grievance covered a request from the local association to grant pro-rated sick leave coverage for elementary teacher Nancy Bradley, who is on a voluntary leave of absence. He sick leave days ran out March 6, 1981 and the school district discontinued insurance coverage March 31, 1981. The association request would carry the insurance coverage into June 1981. Based upon the advice of the school attorney, the board of education voted to deny this grievance. A letter of resignation effective at the end of this school year was accepted from band director Roy Johnson. In his letter he stated a difference of philosophy with the administration and board of education related to the goals and operation of the band program. Following comments by board president Robert Dormer, several band parents in the audience voiced support for the band director and his efforts. Tenure was granted Maplewood Special Education teachers Robin Glerum and Laurie Fox. Contracts will be offered the remainder of the teaching staff based upon funds avail­ able next fall. The board members approved G.M. Underwriters, Inc. to continue as agent for the student insurance program for the 1981-82 school year. Mr. and Mrs. James Robotham were present at the meeting and expressed their concern regarding the safety involved by having their two children (ages 7 and 9) walk down -Bivens Road to meet the bus at the corner of Bivens and Morgan Road. Mr. Robotham stated that they were not voicing opposition to having their children walk three-tenths cf a mile, but their major concern was related to the general area where the children get on the bus plus the hill along with the narrowness of Bivens road. It was decided that three board members will inspect the area, and the matter will be placed on a future agenda if the group feels that further action is necessary. Transportation supervisor Gerald Aldrich and Sergeant Tucker from the State Police will also be involved in the inspection. Board members Elam Rockwell and Russell Geary were designated to present the diplomas at graduation, which is to be held in thcHigh school gymnasium on Sunday, May 31, at 3:00 p.m. There was a general discussion relative to the need for a millage vote at the annual election June 8, 1981 along with proposed reductions in various areas which will be necessary if additional funds aren't available. At the present time it appears that millage proposals wil] be broken down into separate areas which would cover the following areas: Transportation: Funds would help cover the loss being presently incurred considering that the state isn't paying out according to the seventy-five percent which was once paid and the amount this year will be approximately forty percent. Extra Curricular Activities: This would include the athletics funded this year through the general fund, the extra amount paid the band director for activities outside the regular school day. Junior and senior class advisors, and advisors to the Jr-High Students Council. This would mean that the athletic boosters would have to continue to support several sports along with the band boosters assisting with some general expenses related to special band activities. General Operational Funds: Funds needed to basically maintain the present academic program. A member in the audience mentioned that the board should consid.r additional millage to consider reinstatement of programs. There were several people in the audience who made suggestions or reacted to proposed reductions in programs. No decisions were made relative to the millage proposals. A special board meeting will be held in the Junior-Senior High School library Tuesda*. April 28, at 7:00 p.m. at which time there will be further discussion and determination of the millage proposals to appear on the ballot June S. There will also be discussion .relative to converting busses to propane. COA to Hold }kUP ?

Hastings Running Club Is Forming Hastings area runners have let the spirit of spring move them toward forma­ tion of a local Runners Club. To get things started they’ve scheduled an organi­ zational meeting for Thurs­ day, Apr. 80, at 8 p.m. in room A2O3 at Hastings High School. Purpose of the club is athletic and social. To help runners enjoy running more by sharing ideas on training, equipment and places to run. As well as the eomaraderie of people who share a similar interest. For the jogger or begin­ ning runner a runners’ club will offer both encourage­ ment and support. The op­ portunity to talk to fellow runners and. learn what problems or trials they have ' had is often helpful to new runners. For more serious runners, the club will provide a means to share ideas on racing and other competition from cross-country to the marathon. Many local races now indude team competi­ tion (as does the Hastings Summer Run) which adds an interesting dimension to what is primarily an indi­ vidual sport. As a first activity the club organizers hope to get a group picture of all area residents planning to run in the May 9 Old Kent River Bank Run in Grand Rapids as well as provide comple­ tion times and places to the local press. This is the major running event of the spring for many Michigan runners. For additional information contact Dave Leary, 945-2152 (days) or Kevin Woods, 945-9628 (eves).

Ray Meyer, DePaul University's head basketball coach, will be special guest speaker at the 10th Annual Big Brotherc/Big Sisters Sports Banquet in Battle Creek. According to Tom Hammond, organizer of the event,” One or two members of the 1981 DePaul Blue Demons basketball team will attend the banquet. The players will be named at a later date." The Sports Banquet will be held Wed. May 27, at the Federal Center Ballroom in Battle Creek. Meyer and the ballplayers wfll arrive at 6:15 p.m. for an informal autograph time. Dinner will start at 6:30 p.m. Ray Meyer is the winningest active college basketball coach and sixth on the all-time list with victories. Known as “coach" even to his family, Meyer deserves the accolade, for he’s tong been respected by colleagues as a master of the game. Despite his reputation in basketball circles, Meyer didn't begin to get the national recognition he has now until his Demons went to the NCAA's "Final Four" two seasons ago. He's led them to four NCAA appearances in the last five years, most recently to the top seed in the tourney's West Regional last year. Kids Win Irrespective of his reputation, Meyer isn’t flamboyant. His style remains tow key. In 986 games coached - all at DePaul beginning in 1942 his career percentage is a glittering .659. In 39 seasons as Blue Demon head coach, he’s led teams to 18 post­ season tournaments, eleven times to the NCAA and seven times to the NIT. The 1945 club captured the NIT championship in his third season as head coach. Youngsters in Ed Styring’s soccer program played against their parents Saturday at the Hastings Jr. High School. Styring earlier predicted good games and was proven right. Third and fourth graders beat their parents, 3-2. Fifth and sixth graders tost, 2-0, and seventh and eighth graders gave their folks a 1-0 trimming. Styring said response to the soccer program has been great. “We expect to have a club going here soon," he said. In April, 1979, Meyer was elected to the prestigious NaiSmith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, only the fourth active coach to be so honored. During the NCAA tournament the National Association of Basketball Coaches voted him “Coach of the Year" by the U.S. Basketball Writers' Association, and he has been given the same honor four times by Chicago area Basketball writers. A Chicago native. Ray was a prep star at Patrick's Academy, where he was a member of the National Catholic High School Champions in 1932. He then went on to earn AllAmerican honors at Notre Dame. Meyer captained the Irish his junior and senior years, leading them to a combined 40-6 record. Following his college career, Meyer spent a short time as a social worker before joining his former college coach, George Keogan, as an assistant at Notre Dame. He remained two years then, accepting the top post at DePaul on Keogan's recommendation. He's been at DePaul ever since. Meyer, who turned 67 in December, has announced he will return for another season as head coach. Its guaranteed that the head coaching post at DePaul will remain in the family. Last April, it was announced father when Ray step's down. In the meantime, Ray hasn't any particular goal in sight. He's made it to the "Final Four," which he claimed was his dream, but he still hasn't won the NCAA crown. Drawings for various door prizes, including autograph­ ed basketballs will be part of the activities. Meyer will be speaking on his experiences in college basketball and giving adviee to young -people about success in life and growing up. Proceeds from the event will be used to support the work of Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Southcentral Michigan, Inc. The agency, one of the largest in Michigan, matches adult volunteers called Bigs, with youngsters ages 5-15 generally from single parent homes. The goal is to provide the “little" with an adult role model and friend which otherwise might be lacking in the child’s life. Two hundred and thirty six matches currently exist and another eighty-one children are on the waiting list. Tickes are available at the Reminder office in Hastings.

He said would be allowed in the areas under the commission's proposal, but such designations appear to run counter to the Supreme Court ruling. That ruling said communities cannot restrict location of mobile homes just because they are mobile homes. The justices ruled 4-3 and their decision further ruled modern mobile homes have few defects or other drawbacks to justify discrimination ‘ under local zoning laws, but are currently often prohibited outside mobile home parks. The court said zoning restrictions must be based on such things as failure to assure compatibility with mobile homes and other nearby housing. They said, a single mobile home in itself cannot be considered a nuisance. Whitlock Ditarna Dogt, Transport, Parking Council OK’s Refund For Provincial City Counril met Monday night and OK’d a 1980 tax refund for Provincial House, Inc., following the firm’s successful appeal to the state Tax Tribunal. Council also heard Mary Lou Gray aceuse County Commissioner Chairman Kenneth Radant of offering the public mis-leading information. Gray's remarks preceded tougher action on her part Tuesday (see related story this page). The city will also make refunds on school and county taxes paid in 1980. They paid Provincial House 12454.70, including interest on the principal and a $56 collection fee. Council referred a complaint about parking behind the Jr. High School on Madison St., to police chief William Brandt. Neighborhood residents have complained to Gray about the street being reduced to extremely narrow width when softball players and fans park on both sides. City Attorney Richard Shaw directed complaints of loose dogs to the county. He said the county is Court Stops Mailing Oakland County Circuit Judge John N.

Already Accepted Freeze , Board Challenges Proposed Education Budget Cuts The Finance Committee of the Hastings Area Board of Education has met with representatives of the Committee for Quality Education, and challenged some of that committee’s contentions regarding possible budget cuts. The board committee issued an open letter' responding to the specific points raised by the Quality Education group. In its response, the board committee pointed out that administrators have already accepted a voluntary pay freeze, and that teacher salaries are a matter of contract and a new contract is presently being negotiated. The board committee’s analysis of the figures indicates that savings would be much lower than claimed by the Quality Education committee. Here is the board Finance Committee’s response to the Committee for Quality Education: Au Open Letter To the Citizens of the Hastings Area School District: First, our thanks to the “Committee for Quality Education” thru their representatives (Linda Tolles, Phillip Walldorff, Larry Haywood, Darlene Pickard and Gordon Endsley) for meeting with Board members (Bill Baxter, George Wibalda and myself) to discuss their recommendations relative to reducing our operating costs. Many of their suggesions are items that the Board has discussed, especially those that must be negotiated in * our employee contracts and we are pleased that some of our opinions concur. These reactions to the specifics in their letter: A. P.T.A.’s were dcropped because of the lack of parent interest. We replaced this activity with 'Open House’ and Parent/Teacher Conferences. We welcome and would support the reintroductioc of P.T.A.’s for each of the buildings. (The Pleasantview Element­ ary Schoo! has a P.T.A.). B. We shared their concern about qualified teachers (minimum ot a minor in teaching assignment) being assigned to the Jr. High. This is a negotiable item. C. The decision for course reductions was based on “economics", not merit value of one course versus another. If a class had a high pupil/teacher ratio, we kept the course, but dropped the one with a low ratio. There are no savings involved. D. We have made a sincere inquiry to join an Athletic Conference in the immediate area. Secondly, we have asked the Twin Valley Conference to delete many sports in the League, thus, substantially reducing travel. There are no "avings to the operating budget as Athletes are funded by gate receipts and gifts. E. Administration. All Administrator’s salaries have been negotiated for 1981-82 without any wage increase. All Administrators conceded the cost of living adjustment on January 1, 1981 apd all adjustments for the 1981-82 school year. Therefore, foregoing 15.8% increase. The position of Admin. Ass’t. and Director of Instruction/Teacher (’/») fall into the previous category. However, next year the Dir. of Instruction/Teacher (’/») will also serve as Northeast­ ern Elementary Principal and his teaching assignment unfilled because of declining enrollment. Therefore, wc will reduce the Administrative staff by one position as the teacher (*/t) now taught by the North­ eastern Principal will not have to be replaced, also because of declining enroll­ ment. The two (»/») time assistant principals/!'/i) teachers in the High School are paid in accordance with their assignments, thus, reimbursed ’A on the teacher's schedule and ’A on the administrate schedule. There are savings involved. To repeat, all Administrator salaries are on a voluntary freeze for 1981-82. Teachers Their recommendations covering salaries, COLA, longevity, tuition, coaches, and passes are all items for contract negotiaitons. When they suggest "freezes” as a budget reduction they are incorrect because we have not budgeted any wage increases. Therefore, the estimated "savings" do not 100 At Zoning Hearing exist. Transportation Complete “rehabilitation" of the six buses to be replaced will exceed the 1981-82 lease/purchase cost for buying new units. We may have to defer these purchases and do minimal rehabilitation if our (est.) resources do not materialize. The Board's Transportation Committee plans on meeting with staff and several interested citizens to resolve this issue. Their suggested budget reductions total in excess of $360,000.00. Our analysis, with successful negotiations in accordance with their recommendations, indicates a figjire closer to $131,500.00 or the equivalent of .967 mills based on an estimated 1981-82 tax base of $136 million. We have tentative plans to reduce our budget (Example: Dir. of Instruction to add N.E. Principalship to his assignment plus possible savings in negotiations and transportation) approximately $115,000 which equates to .86 mills, nearly the same as their recommendations. Other possibilities, under consideration, would exceed their revised figure.

Gray took action against Radant because, “He disallowed public commentary,” at a recent transportaiton workshop, “Until many attending left to go home.” Gray’s formal complaint to Hughes quotes the Michigan law as reading, "Any member of the public ...(may speak) under the privilege of "Limited public comment”... no longer than three minutes...unless extended privileges are granted by the (county) Board." The law also limits speakers to three each, pro or con. Gray's complaint continues, “Under Commentary, h states, 'It is the general understanding that the privilege to speak without limit will be given to the __ public." Gray claims she and’ *-------------j—:_ j the .t. right others were denied to speak out against public transportation at the work­ shop session, while the board and Radant allowed Representative Donald Gilmer to address an entirely different subject, Proposition A, at some length. Gray said the workshop session was a special meeting for discussion of a specific topic. Under the law. Gray said, “The topic discussed is limited only to the specific item as published." She added, “The published topic of the workshop session was trans'portation." Radant's only comment Tuesday was. “No comment." Gray said she believes the special board meeting was scheduled as a “Workshop" session to deliberately exclude public commentary. Gray’s action followed a recent statement by Commission On Aging spokesperson Eloise Wolf indicating COA’s elderly and handicapped (E & H) bus system is in financial trouble, and after hard comments by members of the Hastings City Council Monday night. Wolf said almost $150 thousand will be needed to operate the s iem at the current standard. State government will provide only $5000 for each of 2 of COA’s 5 bus/vans. COA has lost a driver due to funding cuts and will loose another driver in June, according to Wolf. Other staff is paid by contributions. COA staffers are filling the dispatcher's role for the bus system now. Wolf said. She added t he situation can’t continue because it’s too disruptive to those hired as “ “senior aides." Meanwhile, at Monday’s city council meeting in Hastings, Gray said Radant mislead people when he said he’d heard from only 2 percent of the county regarding public transit. Councilman Robinson indicated his belief the county board wants a transit system. Gray said her figures indicate 7000 persons have made their views known through action of eity council, through petitions and through comments st recent township meetings. Recommendations from the Local Transportation Coordinating Council and the Local Transportation Advisory Committee led to establishment of a new committee to develop possible budgets for transit services. The new committee will study continuation of the current elderly and handi- capped bus service, combining E & *H with EBI Breakihru busses, combining with Break thru and Barry County Mental Health Service, and combining with Break thru. Mental Health and Hastings Child Care Center. According to Wolf however. talk of combination is. “Just going through the motions." She said help from the community must be found or bus service for even the elderly and handicapped will be lost. �THE HASTINGS BANNER, Wed. April 29,19ol. Page 2 FLOYD E. MOORE Services for Floyd E.

Part two was called “Gypsy Life” and consisted of the different gypsy dances that have contributed to the Flamenco dance of Spain accompanied by a narration of the history of gypsies in Spain. The show was extremely interesting. Everyone enjoyed it and felt it was worth the trip. The Spanish Club, which sponsored the field trip by paying tran­ sportation costs, also sponsored an outing at a Mexican restaurant earlier in the year.

They also state that babies should take special vitamin compounds to help their growing bodies. These vitamins are one of the reasons for reduced infant mortality. But the proper dosage and formulae required are so important that a physkan should be the only one to choose which ones expectant mothers and infants should take. Therefore, physicians specify the particular dosage and brands they believe will help most. We carry them in stock and advise you to tak. no other. YOUR DOCTOR CAN PHONE US when you need a medicine. Pick up your prescription if shopping nearby, or we will deliver promptly without extra charge. A great many people entrust us with their prescriptions. May we compound and dispense yours.

We intend to foster effective legislation to restore citizens rights of private property ownership. “The main purpose of this meeting is to see that prop­ erty owners and voters are advised of the many in­ adequacies and loopholes which exist in governor Mil­ liken's 'tax-shift' proposal,” Whitelock said. Many legislators who backed the governor’s tax proposal have made state­ ments tn the effect that citizens to not have the intelligence to be able to make a choice. Therefore, didn’t jvant another (Tisch) tax proposal on the ballot, according to Whitelock. He wants to see the gover­ nor's tax proposal defeated May 19. “We've waited this long, we can wait until next year for the Tisch proposal. We feel no matter what the proposal, we deserve a choice. State Unemployment Drops All but one of Michigan’s 13 major labor market areas followed the state's lead and registered drops in their unemployment rates during March, according to esti­ mates released today by S. Martin Taylor, director of the Michigan Employment Security Commission (MESC). The release of local labor force estimates usually fol­ lows the release of statewide figures by about three to four weeks. On April 3, MESC had announced that the statewide jobless rate in March was 13.2 ^percent, down from 14.2 percent in February. The number of un-_ employed workers across the state in march fell by 40,000 to 50,000. The figures being released today break­ down the statewide esti­ mates for the 13 local areas. Employment in the Barry- Calhoun area was up by 600 jobs over February. Taylor said that the Bay City area was the only one to register an increase in un­ employment during March. The area's jobless rate rose by two-tenths of a per­ centage point to 14.9 per­ cent. Taylor attributed the rise to job losses in the area's manufacturing and non manufacturing industries. The Muskegon area had the largest drop as its un­ employment rate fell from 16.6 percent in February to 14.9 percent in March. ' The lowest jobless rate for the month was in,the Ann Arbor-Ypsilanti area which had a rate of 8.2 percnet. The highest rate was shared by the Flint area and the Upper Peninsula, both areas had rates of 16.5 percent. Taylor attributed the statewide drop in unemploy­ ment to call backs in the auto industry along with scattered job gains in con­ struction and retail trade. Millage Report Wrong The report on the recommendation of the Hastings Millage Advisory Committee concerning shool gift acceptance policy was incorrect as carried in a recent issue of The Banner. Although the committee did not recommend a change in the gift policy at this time, it did pass a motion to recommend that the board not formulate a policy until after a proposed millage vote. The board, the committee said, should keep all its options open until after such a vote. During the current school year, the board has been accepting earmarked gifts for specific sports. In this way, it has been able to offer a complete interscholastic athletics program ttys year. The motion to recommend that any decision on gift policy be deferred was approved 31 to 4 at the Apr. 23 meeting of the Millage Advisory Committee. Liberty Bell awards for Couaty Bar Aasociatioa. Liberty Bell Citizenship Awards Presented Two ladies with long records of service to Hastings were recipients of the Liberty Bell Award, given by the Barry County Bar Association, in ceremonies Friday. Mrs. Florence Groos and Mrs. Anna Johnson were recognized by the bar association in the Law Day ceremonies. Paul Siegel made the presentation for the association in the Circuit Courtroom. Siegel said that Mrs. Groos showed “outstanding and exemplary citizenship" in her community service. Among her accomplishments, he listed being an organizer of the Hastings Youth Council, a founder of the Hastings Community Fund, organizer and first contributor to.the Thornapple Foundation, member of the Hastings Women's Club since 1934 and its president for two years, and encouraging and financially assisting a number of students to go to college. Mrs. Johnson, Siegel said, was a teacher in Rutland Township and later Battle Creek before marrying Aben Johnson. She assisted at early baby clinics in the county, has been active in the Hastings Women's Club since 1923, active in her church, where she taught Sunday School, a former district director Camp Fire Girls, served on the Women’s Board of Pennock Hqjspital, helped found the YMCA Camp, and The Hastings was instrumental in getting the old high school replaced by Central School. Siegel said that he had been told by a former business associate of her husband's that Mrs. Johnson is also “one of the world's best cooks.” Mrs. Groos saifi in response that she Twas “pleasantly surprised and very grateful” for the award. Mrs. Johnson responded that she was “just flabbergasted" by the honor. The Law Day ceremonies were opened by Dick Shuster, president of the bar association, who introduced fellow attorney David Dimmers, who spoke briefly on the significance of the day. Probably no country but America, Dimmers said, has a special day to call attention to the importance of law in its society. He went on to say that the country operates under a rule of law. but through the efforts of its citizens, and that is why the association chose Law Day to present the Liberty Bell Award to an appropriate citizen or citizens.

Kelley Issues Lease Warning Barry area Church Women United gathered last Thursday at the First United Methodist Church to mark the organization s 40th birthday and to honor past president of the local group. Five of 8 past presidents were present. They are, IL to r.) Mrs. Delmond Culler, Mrs. Marjorie Rairigh, Mrs. Willard Curtis, Mrs. Fred Bower [first elected presid­ ent - 1963-67], Mrs. Rozell Stanton. Active membership in the organization varies, but a good crowd attended the president's day meet. The current surge to find and develop oil and gas re­ sources in Michigan has created potential problem areas for state residents. Attorney General Frank J. Kelley cautioned. The Attorney General said several oil and explora­ tion companies have been contacting landowners offer­ ing to buy or lease oil and Such offers should be re­ garded with the same cau­ tion and care used in other business transactions, Kel­ ley emphasized. Leasing agreements are usually written on a “Pro­ ducer 88" form usually speci­ fying details such as bonus payments, rental payments and royalties. But such forms are not uniform, as circumstance that should prompt a careful reading before signing. The oil and gas leases govern the respective rights and obligations of the land­ owner and the lessee. They may, among other matters, govern the lessee's rights to conduct seismic operations, locate pipelines, roadways and storage tanks on or over the lands being leased. Such lease provisions, can affect landowner's ability to use the surface of his or her lands. "In view of the impact a lease may have on the owner’s rights, I strongly urge any landowner think­ ing of leasing oil and gas rights to consult with a private attorney, banker of financial consultant before signing any oil and gas lease," Kelley said.

Johnson, Mrs. Andy John­ son, great-granddaughter Jennifer Johnson, Mrs. Erie [Barbara Johnson] Von Reis, and Mrs. Mark Johnson In The Barry County Commissioners heard the Year End and Medical Sevices Report Tuesday, April 28. from Sheriff David 0. Wood. “The most visible portion of the department" stated Wood, “are the cars and men in uniform - the road patrol." Extra demand is seen for more efficient law enforce­ ment and to respond to this demand, officers have attended various schools to sharpen their skills in various phases of law enforcement. There has been an 89Vi% increase in complaints handled by the road patrol since 1978, an increase of 108% in moving violations, 474% increase in equipment violation stops and 93% more miles patrolled. The past year, the Sheriffs Department has patrolled 967 accidents, provided 571 general assists to other departments (like roadblocks, for example) and have recorded 10,392 log son, grandson Andy Johnson, son-in-law Eric entries where people have Von Reis and grandson called and a car respondsto Mark Johnson. the complaint. The Marine Division and Snowmobile Division, mandated by the State to enforce, and subsidized 2/3 and 3/4 respectively by the State. The Sheriffs Department has put on 109 crime prevention programs, provided home security surveys to 50 homes and 10 businesses, ineluding businesses as large as E.W. Bliss, and has distributed 18,300 pieces of literature. Literature was given to the county, and not paid by the county dollars. The Sheriffs Posse, a after Mrs. Groot was given volunteer unit, has provided the Liberty BeD Award, enough extra service to save $20,580 in man hours. Bulk purchasing has saved the county thousands of dollars. Addressing the cost to operate the jail. Wood stated over 20 jails (county operations - not prisons) are under litigation because of suit brought by inmates. The Barry County jail has capacity for 46 and averages 35 inmates per day. When jail population gets within 10% of capacity, the jail is considered full. Meals cost 50c a day, or $1.50 per day per inmate. This is just for groceries, not labor. “People get upset at the costs incurred for running the jail. What people don’t realize is that many services to inmates are mandated by law." The county contracted with Dr. Swanton for $6,000.00 to provide medical services for inmates. Often pre-existing problems incurred by inmates have to be taken care of, and the county is mandated to take care of those problems. Wood said that at times the jail has refused admittance until certain medical problems were taken care of. Wood said he has a proposal to replace the contract with Dr. Swanton with services from a regist­ ered nurse who is willing to provide the medical services once or twice a week at the jail. Last year, the cost for emergency room services along was $10,829. plus the cost for doctor's fees, prescriptions, etc. The doctor would remain on call but the majority of the services would be provided by the registered -nurse. The cost would be about $900.00 more this year, but by phasing out a doctor and phasing in a nurse, there may be some savings in the future. The biggest item is going to be in the reduced costs for emergency room Sheriff David Wood presented tbe Barry County Commissioners with his services. When an inmate must be transported to emergency, a number of people are involved. Two must accompany the inmate and often jail personnel is unable to go, leaving the transportation to road personnel. Valid medical treatment is never questions, but often inmates complain about problems like ingrown toenails, and stomach aches. "And the County is obligated to provide medical treatment." Wood suggested that the new approach to medical treat ment is a better way. It will not take police Year End aad Medical April 28. protection off the streets. It does not pretend to save great dollars, but it will save man hours and perhaps even eliminate future problems with inmate litigation. Wood also reported that in the fall of 1979 and continuing through 1980. his department began a number of management systems in numerous areas of the department. Concluding his report. Wood stated that his department collected 1153,840 in 1980, from dog license fees, service of papers, county auction and other sources.

Seems like there are an unusual number of turkey vultures migrating north, perhaps due to the mild spring. We always thought of this bird as being primarily a southern species, though it is observed in Michigan. A few days ago, your Muser was on the Grange Rd., northwest of Hastings, and saw a number of vultures drclinp. I stopped, and same bird in flight is magnificent. They are large birds, and in my observation, no bird better masters the air currents. Especial'^ over hBly country like the Blue Ridge, soaring vultures find rising air currents to sustain them, and you can watch one for many minutes without seeing it ever flap its wings. Closer up, you can see that a vulture will adjust its wings and feathers slightly to accommodate the air movements and take him where he wants to. They truly are masters at soaring. could see that a flock of vultures had roosted on the age of a woodbt, and more were flying in the area. They kept moving, so it was hard to get an accurate count. But at any one time, there were perhaps a dozen roosting, and half a dozen more in the air, so I estimate there were close to 20 in the flock. Driving on, there was another group of half a dozen or so a quarter mile north of the first group. I theorize that the flock was migrating northward, and since then I have seen several pairs evidently doing the same. • • • ■Spring brings flowers, and no one needs to be told how pretty they are right now. Around town, there are many flowering crabs near their peak, and some magnolias, which are perhaps just past their peak. Tulipa are up, and of course dandelion* enliven many otherwise smooth, green lawns. • • • Vultures have long fascinated me. They are among the ugliest of birds, of course, and their diet is less than appetizing (they feed on carrion). Of course, they are helpful in nature’s order of things. And though they look fierce, I have never heard of them attacking anything living. Though a vulture on the ground or on a tree branch is unattractive and ungainly, the Dr. Wes Logan is almost legendary among family physicians in the Hastings area, and many can remember when he taught at Hastings High School in the eerty Thirties. % Wes was saying the other day that he finds it hard to sympathize with the teachers, in their adamant attitude toward salary concessions. Back in 1932, Wes recalls, times were even tougher in Hastings than they are now, and tax collections were way down. That year, he says, all Hastings teachers took a 36 percent cut in their salaries, which he says were not high to start with, so the schools would have enough money to keep going.

The military is already pressed to keep itself anywhere near preparedness, then allows brutality to alienate potential recruits and re-enlistees. Brutality on board the aircraft carrier USS Ranger killed a Michigan man last week. His mother told interviewers he joined the navy on her advice when family funds forced him to withdraw from Grand Valley State College. The late novelist James Jones (Some Came Running, The Thin Red Line) realistically described his experience in a military stockade, fictionalizing them in From Here to Eternity. Beatings in navy brigs and army stockades are the stuff of legends when veterans get together. Tales of unique savagery and brutality are commonplace each man tops the other with stories of what he "heard" or "saw" in the service. Any sailor who spent time in a Marine Corps brig doesn't want to go back. In the words of a former shipmate of mine, Leo C. Pedrini, "They made a Christian out of me." Leo only spent three days under the TLC of the USMC. Another shipmate returned from 30 days so morose and browbeaten the executive officer had him transferred to another unit. Sure that was 20 or 25 years ago, but over the years reports of brutality toward military prisoners and military recruits keep making the nation's headlines. Soltdere and sailors often refer to the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) as the Uniform Code of Military Injustice. In truth it does often seem to be lacking in the spirit of American law, as well as in the letter. Backward and repressive attitudes are nothing new to the militar/ services.

However, the YMCA-Youth Council sport programs are different from many. The difference, we think, is worthy of editorial comment. The difference Iles in the YMCA belief that spurts for youngsters should be fun-not competitive "Pressure-Cookers" in which youngsters are too often subjected to verbal abuse for failure to make the big play. What happens when the emphasis is put on fun? In Youth Council leagues, everyone who wants to play, plays. There are no youngsters warming the bench for most of The Hastings Banner, 3J1 S.

Among many experts who've atudfed the problem of military backwardness is deceased Harvard Historian Elting E. Morison. He studied the career of reformer (later Admiral) William S. Sims. Sims' service spanned the period when navies changed from wooden ships and iron men to all-big-gun-battleshipe. He commanded U.S. Naval forces in Europe during WWI. But his career was almost wrecked by self-righteous superiors who dieapproved of Sims meddling in such things as naval construction, gunnery and engineering. Sims was saved from relegation to the naval scrapheap when President Theodore Roosevelt made him Inspector of Gunnery, then ordered derogatory comments of superiors removed from his record. Efforts to loosen military stIffhubs have been successful in some European countries, lese than successful in others. But Americans are not robots, and successful officers have always led, not driven, their men. The young man aboard Ranger was a "Tough" fellow according to his mother. She said she knew the Ranger was a tough ship, but thought her son could handle It. Uoyd Bucher knew he'd done the beet he could with no help from superiors. He expected some help. Failing that, ho expect­ ed fair treatment by the navy when released. William Sims knew you couldn't trust any entrenched bureaucracy. He made friends with the President. Who best understood his situation? GUEST EDITORIAL Only $ 10.00 for Send or bring this coupon to after superiors sent it unprotected into hostile waters. Military leaders in Washington and dose to President Lincoln tried to get him to discard U.S. Grant because he was a drinker. Lincoln property thought Grant a fighter t I the game. As for competition, YMCA leaders attempt to put that in proper perspective. "Y" participants play to win. But they also learn that losing is not the disaster it might appear to be. We think the YMCA-Youth Council has a great idea. We, think the primary reasons for youth sports is to have fun, engage in healthy exercise, and team a skill to the best of one's ability. We believe the time has come to stop demanding of youngsters more than afi but the most natural athletes can achieve. Often the result is to sour a youngster on sports for the rest of his or her life. We hope this philosophy will continue, and that it will receive the wholehearted support of everyone in Hastings. YMCA-Youth Council Committees 4-H NEWS Clubs to Discuss Fair g ’ Barry County $10.00 | Adjoining Counties $12.00 ® (Kent, Ionia, Eaton, Kalamazoo, Calhoun and Allegan Counties) I Outside of above area $13.50 | By DORIS J. RICHARDSON County Extension Director A meeting for all 4-H dairy leaders (at least one from each club) is scheduled for Tuesday evening. May 12,1981 at 8 p.m. The meeting wiT be held at the Extension Office Conference Room in Hastings. This meeting will revolve eround the topic of the county fair. Important Notice Al! 4-H clubs planning to display their projects in a booth at the Barry county fair must reserve that space by Monday, May 20, 1981. This is a change in procedure and 4-H leaders need to b< aware of this fact. No longer will each 4-H club automatically be allocated display space. Space may be reserved by contacting one of the department superintendents, Pauline Armstrong at 945-9104 or Judy Stoneburner at 664-4234. Grade Dairy Identification All grade dairy animals to be shown in 4-H at the Barry county fair, July 19-25, must be properly identified. Identification sheets are available from the extension office in Hastings and should be picked up immediately To the Editor: As a parent of six Lake­ wood students, the article of April 22nd by Hugh Fullerton about the “Committee for Quality Education’s" recommendations, I need to comment on. The Committees ideas about forming a league with surrounding systems sounds very practical. I’m sure many other Lakewood people would agree. And better communications between teachers, administration, and communities is always a good idea. Bat for the suggestions to cut salaries of administrators, elimination of cost of living, and the freezing of teacher's salaries - their committee should first change their name from QUALITY co QUANTITY Education. They should be proud to be able to support a tax base that allows 347.17 per child. By cutting that figure, they are cutting the very core of each child's education. Doesn't that committee realize that teachers and administrators do not have any discounts at the grocery store, or for fuel oil, or for other necessities of life? They are paying for these things with the same devaluating dollar as we are. I have not heard of a company, or school system that has kept a COLA with the real COLA. Which means salaries are actually decreasing anyway. These citizens should be commended for being interested in their school district enough to spend extra time for it. But they should also be realistic in their proposals. Sandra Rausch 5341 Usborne Rd. Freeport To the Editor: Is Barry County Govern­ ment in need of reform? Appointed county officials have distorted the facts, made irresponsible public statements, published er­ roneous figures, and have generally attempted to cover up their ineptness by refusing to answer questions about their decisions and actions. This, it would appear, is cause enough for concern. But, worse yet is the fact that the Barry County commisisoners, the elected of­ ficials who appointed these would be bureaucrats, are backing them to the hilt and telling them what a good job they’re doing, and the coun­ ty commissioners won’t even bother to take the time to find out what’s going on. Two perfect examples of these situations occured on April 27th at a public hear­ ing which vaa held by the Barry County planning com­ mission and the County Commissioners meeting on April 28th. At the so-called public hearing, it was published that the purpose of the meeting was to discuss and accept comments on the Planning Commission's pro­ posed zoning amendments to the Barry County ordinance. As it turned out. the Planning Commission was not prepared and refused to accept critisism, construc­ tive input, or questions per­ taining to their proposed zoning amendments. Ac­ cordingly, many answers which the residents and taxpayers of Barry County have a right to know were left unanswered because the questions were not allowed to be posed. The atmosphere at the, county commissioners meet- * ing the following day was not too different. It is not difficult to present facts. It does, however, become a task to make those facts be realized when completely irrelevent rantings are in­ jected by commissioners who should be listening and learning from those facts. It is perfectly normal for anyone to harbor his her own opinions of any partic­ ular situation, but when a person is elected to a public office, they no longer are allowed that privilege so far a public matters are con­ cerned. They are supposed to be open minded and willing to learn at every op­ portunity. Such does not appear to be the case with many of the county commissioners. They seem to have their minds made up . . zoning issues and t !>•, ■ jCrt and altitude that no amount of factual presentation to the contrary will sway them from that closed minded at t it ude. It's quite obvious that a number of elected and ap­ pointed officials in Barry County government have developed a personal animo­ sity toward me. That, plus their attacks and references to my personal character does not bather me in the least. What is truly regrettable, is the fact that they are alllowing their personal feel­ ings to cloud some very im­ portant issues. Instead of learning and focusing their attention on solving the zoning problems in Barry County for the benefit of the people who elected them, they are saying in esence, “I don’t like him, so no matter how many facts he produces that would give me a clearer picture, Fm going to keep my head in the sand.” Unless the officials in Bar­ ry County government can must er an immediate rever­ sal ui their bureaucratic atti­ tudes, total reform is an absolute necessity. Dick Whitelock, Pres. Custom Housing Center, Inc. 7058 S. State Rd. Ionia, Mich. 48346 Ionia, Mich. To the Editor: A few •• remarks in regard to Harvard economics are in order. We are told that Proposition 2'6 passed by a 3 to 1 margin because “poor and rich formed a coalition." It is too bad the middle class is nonexistent in the views of Harvard economists. (I cannot believe Massachusetts is a banana republic) The effects of Proposition 2'/i include “bankruptcy for 37 Massachusetts cities,'* but unemployment is “down to about 5 per cent." Obvious to anyone but a Harvard economist are these facts: The less an employer pays in taxes, the more be can spend hiring help. The less a worker pays in taxes, the more he can spend in the marketplace, and the higher the sales, the higher the employment. I challenge the allegation that lower taxes mean "business can't expand because there's no money to provide services necessary for expansion-", a business with money can provide its own services. Also question­ able is the statement, "sections of our cities become isolated," this happens when taxes are high and laws are oppressive. The facts clearly belie the statement, “unemployment increases, everybody suffers." A change .from 15% to 5% is not an increase, and even unemployed city govern­ ment workers do not suffer if jobs are available in the private sector. Who knows, if people are so well off they don’t need bank loans, maybe there might be other private sector jobs for bankers, too. Sincerely. Frederick G. Schantz To the Editor: In regard to Mr. Pete Shields about handguns. He can take his handgun control bill and stick it, you know where! He sounds like he came from Russia that’s why Russia hasn’t invaded this country. They know we have the rights to beai arms. If I wanted to kill someone I wc didn’t have to use a gun.

Call Anytime, West Michigan Realvest 1-800-442-8364 Winter Wood Heat Popular In State As home heating with wood becomes more popu­ lar, considerations for safe­ ty, efficiency and proper forest management must all be taken into account. “Statistics show that 40 percent of'the households in the Upper Peninsula are using wood as a substantial proportion of their home heating, Henry A. Huber, MSU Estension forestry specialist says. He estimates that 11-12 percent of all households in Michigan may be using wood to heat their homes. As the use of wood stoves increases, so do the number of deaths and injuries relat­ ed to home fires. There were 18 fire-related fatalities dur­ ing the 1979-80 heating sea­ son, Huber notes, and 14 fatalities during the 1980-81 heating season, as of Feb. 1. Numerous injuries and extensive property damage often accompany such death. However, a proper educa­ tional program promoting the safe use of wood as heat, could help to drastically re­ duce those numbers. The prevention of creo­ sote build-up; the proper use of brushes for cleaning; the use of fire and smoke detec­ tors in the home; and the importance of a nearby fire extinguisher are some of the safety elements emphasized in the MSU display unit. Huber notes that fire­ places are designed for es­ thetic purposes and often allow the heat to escape. Wood stoves, on the other hand, give off more heat and are therefore more efficient. The display provides several tips for getting the maxi­ num efficiency out of wood as a home heating fuel. Concern about depleting Michigan's forest resources is unwarranted, if proper forest management is pro­ vided, Huber says. The use of wood as a home heating fuel is actually an opportu­ nity to improve many wood­ lots and forests. Huber explains that by properly and selectively re­ moving trees from a forest the health and vigor of the stand can be improved. Cut­ ting and harvesting trees for firewood can result in maxi­ mum growth of those left standing. Huber said Michigan is growing three times more trees than it is currently using. And with good man­ agement practices that growth could double. If people can be educated about wood heating, pres­ sure can be relieved on the gas and oil industries.

MSU Grids Drills Show Better Squad Spring football drills con­ tinue to progress nicely for Coach Muddy Waters and his Michigan State Spartans as they begin to descend upon the scheduled wrap-up scrimmage on May 9. The wind-up session on Saturday, May 9, will be in the form of a game-style scrimmage with the kickoff set for 9:30 a.m. Waters and his staff will divide the Spartans into equal Green and White units for the game which will be staged in Spartan Stadium. Genera) admission for the tilt will be $2 per person. One area that Spartan coaches are paying particu­ lar attention to is defense. where a porous MSU unit allowed more than 25 points and 415 yards per game in 1980. Spartan assistant head coach and defensive coordi­ nator Sherm LEwis is confi­ dent State can improve dra­ matically. “We will definitely be better," says Lewis. "There are several very experienc­ ed people returning who are bound to improve, plus we think there will be some newcomers who can contri­ bute.” Team speed, according to Lewis, is the defensive unit's biggest plus. "Our secon­ dary will have real fine speed." says lewis. "People like Thomas Morris, Nate Hannah and Tim Cunning­ ham run as well as anyone we've had. Our linebackers also pursue very well." Eight starters form last season’s top 11 defensemen are back for another cam­ paign.

Coho averaging 3 bi to 4 pounds were hitting jointed red rapalas trolling in 120 feet of water fishing on the surface. ST. JOSEPH - BENTON HARBOR: Few boats out as Lake Michigan is staying rough. But the week-end produced nice catches of Kings from just north of the clay banks in 40 feet of water fishing on the bottom using large spoons or large chrome Jplugs. Pier fishing produced some nice catches of browns off the south pier using spawn and little deo's. SAUGATUCK: Excellent brown trout fishing reported off the piers and the big lake. limit catches were taken with browns up to 8 pounds taken while trolling from the beach to 30 feet, using the most any silver trolling ure. Best success for pier fishing using spawn or nightcrawlers. INLAND LAKE FISHING: Trout opener was minimized by the cold wet weather and high water. No limit catches reported, but some nice browns were taken and a 17 inch Rainbow taken at the Wood St Dam in Three Rivers. Smelt: Many inquiries continue to come in on the smelt runs.

Virgil Herrick and William Brandt of Battle Creek and Gordon Hess of Hastings were each charged with five counts, after the theatre was raided by State Police on July 23,1980. Judge Gary Holman presides over the trial, expected to last one week. Barry County Prosecuting Attorney Judy Hughes represents the people. Robert E. Smith of California is defending William Brandt of Battle Creek; Charles Boyle of Atlanta, Ga., is defending Gordon Hess of Hastings and Michael Y. Sandborn of Lansing is defending Virgil "Bud" Herrick of Battle Creek. The Hastings Drive-In Theater is owned by MIC Limited of Durand, Michigan. Investigation by State Police of the Hastings Team was prompted when the Prosecutor's office received a letter from the Hastings Catholic Daughter of America, urging the drive -in theater be closed. Jury selection began in February but court was adjourned due to severe snow warnings. Proceedings were rescheduled for March but again postponed due to unavailability of several witnesses. In the February court session a panel of 20 prospective jurors was selected. Another 27 were selected Monday morning. Over 100 jurors have been screened since the case began. Judge Holman explained a total of 7 jurors would be selected. An extra juror would sit and hear the case, because Holman indicated he didn't want to run the risk of a mistrial due to illness, or death in a juror's family, which might necessitate a juror’s absence. Ultimately only 6 would be charged with reaching a verdict and prior to actual deliberations one of the jurors would be eliminated in a lottery. The original seven prospective jurors were called. Prosecutor Hughes and defense attorneys Smith Bovle and Sandborn posed countless questions to them. Questions included how long the juror lived in the area, whether they believe an adult is free to view what they want to view, whether jurors would have difficulty discussing sexual acts with jurors of the opposite sex, whether peer pressure would affect a juror’s decision, whether jurors could put possible personal opinions aside and make a decision based on law as the court instructs, and among many other questions, whether the prospective juror would maintain presumption of innocence until the proper time for considering the facts and making a decision. The task of jury selection was not without its lighter moments. At one point, when the prospective panel was all female, defense attorney Smith asked, “Is there cause for challenge because all prospective jurors are women”? Judge Holman responded, “They are our peers!" Following selection of the original seven prospective jurors, 15 more were eliminated by Prosecution or Defense, each being allowed to excuse up to 9 prospective jurors. When prosecution and defense were satisfied, the panel of 6 women and one man were sWorn by the Court. Judge Gary Holman then addressed the court, emphasizing presumption of innocence and saying it is the prosecutors burden to prove guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Holman indicated it is his function to conduct the proceedings in an orderly fashion, and in a fair and efficient manner. Aidressing the jury, Holman said, it is their responsibility to accept the law as told by the judge, to determine facts and proceed with deliberation based on evidence, sworn testimony, exhibits and documents admitted into evidence. The trial will follow the rules of evidence with the judge ruling on objections occurring from time to time from the attorneys. Holman again stressed the importance of keeping an open mind until all evidence is given. He informed the jury he would give them further instructions, ex, 'ain what the law is and how to perform their function as jurors. Holman told the jury not to discuss the case among themselves or among family and friends. They were advised to avoid contact with attorneys involved to avoid any opportunity for a claim of impropriety. “There may be reports in news­ papers or the media,” he said, and suggested the jury refrain from reviewing, discussing, looking at, or listening to such reports. Holman then gave a general outline of what the jury can expect in the next several days, adjourning the court until 9:45 a.m. Tues­ day, May 5. Tuesday morning, attorneys were back in court for a preliminary hearing. Arguments were heard regarding appliaiton of three criteria necessary to reach a verdict. The jury was seated at 11:00 a.m. The three criteria to be used as a basis for the jury’s decision are as follows: To be obscene. 1. The average person, applying contemporary community standards, would find that the material, taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest of sex. 2. The material depicts or describes sexual conduct in a patently offensive way. 3. The material, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value. Opening statements were made by Prosecuting Attorney Judy Hughes, followed by the three defense attorneys. Hughes explained there are two purposes for opening statements; to explain elements of the charge (s) and to give a general overview of testimony expected so jurors have knowledge of the picture it will develop. Concluding her remarks, Hughes said she would produce exhibits and testimony to prove her case. Each defendant is charged with five counts of distributing obscene material in connection with showing of the films “Sex World" and "Teenage Cheerleader" and three previews entitled “Prisoner of Paradise," “Hot Legs" and “Maraschino Cherry." Hughes objected several times to portions of Boyle’s opening statement. Judge Holman instructed Boyle limit his remarks to what evidence will show in a positive sense, rather than what it will not show, and on another occasion instructed Boyle not to draw conclusions. Several objections were also over­ ruled. Bovle. who represents Hess, completed his opening statement by asking the jury- to listen closely to the evidence in terms of guilt or innocence. Sandborn reprefent. Herrick. His opening statement reflected that this is a unique case for Barry County. Headlines and media exposure have been common since last July, he Mtd Sandborn said it is important to consider context in which the movies were shown-“to adults only, and not open to anyone off the street. The burden is on the prosecutor to prove all the elements on each offense. That burden doesn't shift to the defense, just as presumption of innocence remains with the defendants until the jury reaches a verdict." Sandborn concluded open­ ing remarks, asking the jury to consider the context in which the movies were shown, keeping in mind placement of the burden of proof, and reiterating the presumption of innocence. He told jurors to remember the three conditions as criteria and the requirement to prove all three before a guilty verdict can be returned. Smith, representing William Brandt, addressed Hastings the jury saying his address would be in the nature of coming attractions. “Essentially, the prosecutor gave the elements of the crime. The law applying will be given by the judge. Evidence will show interesting factors, some being that the theater has been showing Triple -X rated films since about 1970." "There has been no secret made of films being shown, and, in fact, regular advertisements were placed in newspapers," he said, adding, “People can call on the phone to get the film fare. Showing of the films was not done in a surreptitious manner since the theater is licensed, it’s on the tax roll and there is ownership interest." Smith said in the past three to four years, members of State Police asked, with regularity, if they could watch the film while on patrol. Some members of the Sheriffs Department also asked to park in the back and watch. And, on the night in question, a State Trooper, on vacation, came to socialize with Hess, Smith said. Smith intends to call an expert witness qualified in the field of education, sex therapy and counselling. He wants to prove value in the films from the standpoint of education and a theraputic setting for adults. He hop*•* to prove the films have valut­ as communication aides. He said testimony will show the films assist in "fantasy enrichment". He indicates they could be valuable for ordinary adults or those undergoing therapy.

Michigoo Courthouse Workers Get Retroactive Raise Board Hears Gray, Other Voices, Sets Transit Vote County Commissioners ok'd a 10 percent pay increase for court-house employees at Monday’s board meeting. The pay increase is retroactive to January 1 of this year. Commissioners heard comments from several citizens and Heeled officials regarding proposed public transit systems. Director of Mecosta County's transit system, Charlene Oden, told commissioners Dial-A-Ride has been operating since the mid-seventies in Big Rapids and enjoys widespread acceptance and support. She spoke during another “work­ shop" session on the topic. Oden told commissioners a county-wide system has not been so popular. "Problems begin when systems (county and dty) merge," she said. Oden said the Mecosta system was 100 percent state funded for l,z» years, then received a grant under Section 18 - funding This house near Head Lake is owned by Jim and Sylvia Forster. They moved in last September, exper­ ienced some problems with a wood heater in mid-winter. for rural transit systems from the state. Oden said additional money is provided by the county, but more is needed, “And it’s very hard to get it." She said state funding is not reliable, and later said riders would have to pay up to $7 per ride for a break­ even system. Commissioner Ed Daniels arranged speakers for the workshop. He arranged for the board and guests to hear comments of Joe Seelig, Director of county Mental Health Services. Seelig said he’d rather his deparment not be in the transit business. Seelig said his department could sub-contract for clients needing transport. He said transportation provided by his department now is somewhat theraputic. “Drivers (for mental health clients) must be trained in attitudes and behavior," he said. Seelig added his added a new heater and have been happy wood and solar since. Sylvia said even though the house is not aligned north and south '.which would make their department requires special services from drivers, “And there has been no committ­ ment made from mass transit people those services will be provided. ’ Mary Lou Gray, Hastings councilwoman and the city’s reresentative on the Local Transportaiton Advisory Council, clashed again with county board chairman Ken Radant. Radant interruptea Gray’s comments to say only 489 signatures against mass transit are on file at the county clerk's office. He said a recent unanimous vote against a transit system by dty fathers didn't speak, for the people of Hastings. Asked how many signatures are on file favoring a transit system. Radant replied, "none." Gray took issue with Radant’s statement millage could not be levied by a transit authority without a public ballot quesiton. She said she’s provided the solar unit even more effic­ ient] the back-up electric heating system seldom operated. “We only needed it when we changed wood stoves," she said. At least county board with opinions from county prosecutor Judy Hughes and other legal authorities indicating Radant is wrong. “I don't know what else you need to be convinced of the tax levy provision of Act 7," Gray said. Gray said she has a memorandum from the Michigan Bus Transit Division indicating ballot proposals for transit funding have not been successul since the current financial crunch began in the late 1970’s. Critizing recent remarks to the board of commission­ ers by Rep. Don Gilmer, Gray said his, "Glowing remarks on transit failed to include the fact he’d had more calls against transit than against high taxes." Gray distributed copies of a recent Gilmer legislative report saying Reagan Administration cutbacks will force the state to reduce spending by 200 million half a dozen Barry County homes are cutting energy use and costs through a variety of solar applications. They’re surprisingly efficient and inexpensive. dollars. Gilmer’s mailing said those cuts, “Would be in transportation, public health and law enforcement." The Board of Commission­ ers received 300 signatures on petitions against mass transit and regional planning from Castleton Township. Baltimore Town­ ship officials expressed views against transit in a letter to commissioners. Prairieville Township Clerk Jan Arnold sent commissioners a letter expressing her area's opposition to a transit system. After hearing mostly negative comments from half-a-dozen private citizens, commissioners set May 20 as date for a final hearing and vote on proposed transit systems. The special meeting will be held in the Circuit Court Room of the county court house from 7-9 p.m. Speakers, pro and con, wiU be allowed 3 minutes in which to present their views. Commissioners heard a brief history of county equalization figures since 1957. Total equalized value that year was just under $62 million. By 1966 when the equalization department was established, the figure had raisen to just under $100 million. This year's total equalizaiton figure is over $378 million. Commissioners will receive proposed 13 percent budget cuts from a 11 county departments at the next regular meeting, May 12. Radant said the cuts are necessary to balance this year’s budget. Departments were told by commissioners last month to prepare the cuts. Commissioners said Kathy Walters, Erie.

Passive systems should be considered in new homes construction where the main use is heat ing space. Design of passive systems requires careful consideration of homesile, north/south orientation and high quality construction, according to DOE. Active systems may be used in new or existing homes. A good southern exposure Is required to take full advantage of sunlight hours. Solar heating is another old idea now being dusted off. A Frenchman. Antonie Lavosier. built the first known solar furnace in the Iasi century. He achieved a temperature near 3200° Farenheil, hotter than anything up to that th e. Another Frenchman, Abel Pifre, used solar energy to power a printing press nearly 100 years ago. First use of solar power in the U.S. was by engineet (and builder of USS Monitor) John Ericsson, who "dabbled" with the sun’s rays. Needless to say, in nort hern climates, solar heat along could not provide for needs of an average family. Weather here is often too bad for too many consecutive days. Heavy cloud cover for more than a couple of days can vastly reduce energy captured by solar collectors. But even on the cloudiest days, some is being capt ured. A good woodburning stove coupled to the solar heat system is best way to go if you’ve got an inexpen­ sive wood source. Gas or oil units may also be used. Oil and natural gas, according to geologists, are millions of years olf and take millions of years to form. Someday they’ll be exhausted. The sun has been here forever.

Drive-In Re-Building Turned Down By MARY LOU GRAY' The Barry County Zoning Board of Appeals met Tues­ day. May 5, to consier the variance request from MIC Limited, which the Board had tabled at the previous meeting, pending receipt of more information. The board denied MIC permission to rebuild the burned screen. Zoning Board of Appeals members attending were Ron Coats of Woodland Township, Vice Chairman, Dick Scott, Orangeville Township, Secretary; William Solomon, Township, Dick Hartman, Barrv Township, Dale Conklin, Johnstown Township and Norman Stanton of Assyria Township. Attorney Michael Y. Sandborn of Lansing, representing MIC Limited was present and asked for the variance which involved ♦he reconstruction of the outdoor theater schreen at the Hastings Drive In Theater. The screen was a total loss by fire last fall. Since the theater is consid­ ered a non-conforming use in the area where it is located, the variance had to be requested and approved before reconstruction could begin. People at the previous hearing protest granting the variance on moral grounds. They also said reconstruction would exceed the 50% clause contained in Hugh S.

Named To Honor Society Oakland University student Ixiura B. Haaksma, 1121 S. Broadway, Hastings, has been named a member of the National Golden Key H.lnor Society, effective in the Winter. 1981 semester. the zoning ordinance. The Zoning Board of Appeals tabled the matter pending figures from MIC, Limited. Sandborn presented requested figures saying insurance paid $36,322 for the new screen tower. To replace the screen, he presented an invoice totaling $8,337.35 for mater­ ials from a firm in Fort Worth, Texas, plus $5,976.69 for labor, for a total of $14,314.04. An alternative bid for an A-frame screen tower to totaled $16,800.69. The appeal for the zoning variance was made under Zoning rule Section 8.3 and Sandborn said, “this dearly falls within the perview of the applicable ordinance under section 8.3” He said he proved replacement cost to less than 50% of the value and asked that the variance be granted. Gordon Barlow, who owns property adjacent to the theater said the request was made under Article 8, Section 8.3, which reads, “In the event that any Don-con forming building or structure shall be damaged by fire, wind or Act of God or the Public Enemy, and the cost of* rebuilding or restoration shall exceed onehalf of the value of such building or structure after rebuilding or restoration, the same shall be permitted only with the approval of the Board of Appeals which approval shall be granted upon a finding A) That such rebuilding or restoration will not substantially extend the probable duration of such non-conforming use, and B) That circumstances are such that the land previously occupied by such non-conforming use cannot then be advantageously used for a use permitted in that zone.” Barlow objected that the proposal did not qualify under “A" of the ordinance. A motion was made by Wilbur Solomon supported by Dick Hartman to deny the request for the variance. The vote was 5-1 to deny, with one dissenting vote, that of Norman Stanton. Denial was made under Sections 8.2, 8.3 and 8.5 of the ordinance. Section 8.2 pertains to Continuance of Use; 8.8 refers to Restoration and Repair and 8.5 addresses Repair of NonConforming Buildings. Visibly moved by the decision of the Appeal Board, Sandborn stated, “There is no basis in law for the denial," and privately told the Banner he will appeal to Circuit Court. Following the meeting Stanton asked if he was the dissenting member. He replied, “The rest of them were dissenters." When asked why he supported the variance, Stanton said the meeting was over, he had’ "two good reasons," and' refused to comment further. In other action, the Zoning Board of Appeals listened to a request from Ron Smith of Delton for a variance for a flower shop and nursery in a C-2 and R-2 zone. The variance was granted for his property in the R-2 zone, He will appeal to the Planning /Zoning Commission regarding the flower shop in the C-2 zone at a later date. An appeal by Charles Davis of Jenkins Road, Assyria Township, to add onto his mobilehome was approved beforee the meet­ ing was adjourned. Vickie Chapman Takes AF Course Airman Vicki L.

When the movie ended, three previews, “Prisoner of Paradise," “Hot Legs" and “Maraschino Cherry," last­ ing about 15 minutes, were shown. All included explicit sex acts, he said. Golm said lights in the theater came on and an announcement was made concerning a sale at the concession stand of sexual aides and books. Golm said he remained through the second film which lasted about an hour and one-quarter. The film, "Teenage Cheer­ leader" depicted sexual acts in a high school setting, involving a cheerleader. He said about 90% of the film contained explicit sex acts. Golm said he left the theater at about 1:05 a.m. He noted the van Brandt drove to the concession stand was still there although he saw no one. Golm got a search warrant and returned to the theater next night, July 24 accompanied by State Police Sgt. Richard Zimmerman. A follow-up car was occupied by State Trooper Robert Norris and David Slenk. Golm said when they entered he saw Hess in the projection booth. With Hess was State Police Trooper Steve Miller. Herrick, who had walked out, retreated into the projection booth and Hess said, “You don’t have to give them any identificationaccording to Golm. He then made a phone call, and commented, "I don’ care..aet Bill up. Tell him we’ve been raided." Slenk entered the building with a camera to document the premises and Sgt. Zimmerman was outside the building talking to Trooper Miller. Golm said Hess told Herrick to make an announcement telling customers the show would not continue and patrons could get a rain check or their money back. Hess said he was just an electician doing repairs-that he had come to repair a projector. Golm testified the film "Sex World" was confiscated along with the previews but Hess said he didn't have “Teenage Cheerleader." Golm told Hess he viewed the film the night before and Hess argued that it didn't run. Other containers were checked and one reel was found to be “Teenage Cheerleader.” In Cross-examination Boyle asked if Golm was aware Hess lived in a Louse on the premises for some 7 years, that his father-in-law used to own the theater and that he just keeps up the place. Pornography Trial Golm said Trooper Miller appeared to be viewing the movie through one of the portholes in the projection booth and “appeared surprised, perhaps even embarrassed" to see Golm. Boyle asked if Golm was embarrassed to see Miller. “That made . me mad**, replied Golm. Asked if Herrick was seen running the projector, whether Herrick's name appeared on any license, whether Herrick gave, loaned or sold films that evening, Golm replied “No." Smith's cross-examination asked if Golm was previous­ ly involved with obscenity violations. Golm replied this is his first involvement with obscenity laws in 27 years. Golm admitted that he passed the drive-in numerous times. When asked what prompted this particulat investigation, Golm respond­ ed that he received a complaint from a person who moved to Barrv County from Allegan County to get closer to his job. Golm asked if the complainant observed the films and was told he had not. Golm suggested he view them and pursue the charge only after viewing and deciding if he wished to continue action. Complainant viewed the film on July 17 and made his complaint to Golm on July 21. The complaintant is married to a member of the Catholic Daughters of America and simply didn’t want Triple-X movies shown. Golm said the prosecutor's office had previous complaints from the Catholic Daughters. Smith asked if Golm had ascertained ownership of the theater; whether Golm had checked if Brandt, Hess or Herrick were officers of the corporation, whether with­ holding tax was paid by employees and what function of the Hastings Theater Corporation was, of which Brandt lists himself as president. He asked if Golm checked to see if sales tax was paid by the Hastings Theater Corporation, to which Golm responded “No." In re-direct questioning, Golm indicated about 25 cars were in the theater each evening, July 23 and again July 24. Generally, there were two or more people in each vehicle. He checked some license plates the evening of July 23, and found one from Hastings, .! each from Battle Creek, Lansing, Marshall and Muskegon. As it turned out, the Muskegon vehicle was “wanted." Before Judge Holman adjourned for lunch, he informed the jury his court instructions include that “r.o person shall intentionally contact or in any way harrass or try to influence any juror.’* Holman acknowledged the media was present and it was a matter of personal choice if any juror wanted to be Photographed. Jurors believing they are being harrassed, were instructed to notify the court. Hastings State Police Team Commander Zimmerman was next Prosecution witness. Zimmerman’s testimony supported Golm's. In cross-examination, Zimmerman stated that since 1979, tips is the only arrest in connection with the Hastings Drive In Theater on an obscenity matter. He admitted he had been past the theater numerous times, but there was no involve­ ment with law enforcement at the theater. Zimmerman testified the theater was “back in business" the night after films were confiscated. Trooper Miller was then called to the stand. Miller said he was on vacation the night of July 23, 1980, and stopped to visit Hess about a Corvette tn which he was interested. Hess was not at home at the time but arrived shortly thereafter. They discussed the car in the kitchen of the Hess home. Hess wanted cigarettes, so they proceeded to the concession stand. While there, Hess waited on several customers for about 15 minutes, and then Miller and Hess entered the projection booth. Hess explained the projector’s functions, pulled a reel of film from the rack and began the film, according to Miller, Miller said he was at the theater previously on property inspections, but not at the theater or in the concession stand before this time. When Golm, Zimmerman, Slenk and Norris arrived, Miller admitted the troopers were “dumbfounded" to aee him there. Miller said he was equally “dumbfounded” to see the troopers. After asking Slenk “what was going on,” Miller said he left the scene. Miller said that he and Hess might have a beer together in a local lounge but they were “not good friends.’’ On cross examination, Miller said he didn’t know if Hess was employed at the drive-in. He admitted view­ ing the movie for a minute or two. Regarding the property check. Miller said it was common to check various property and they often checked the theater to be sure everything was quiet and not rowdy. Miller said troopers respond to needs of the theater like those of any other businesses. Asked if other troopers have stopped to see the movie. Miller responed “none are here now-they hnve either been promoted or transferred from this post." The trial moved to the Strand Theatre in mid-after­ noon Tuesday so jurors could view the film confiscated in the raid. The showing took about 31'! hours. Judge Holman announced that the showing was for the jury, but any member of the press or public was free to attend. The trial resumed in District Cow. ■ edaesday morning, with the continuation of the prosecution case.

I p rr Social Security Notes Q. • I think my grand­ parents could qualify for SSI payments because the only income they have is a small social security check. They are afraid they would not qualify because of the assets they own. Will their assets county against them? A. A couple may have resources (assets) that count up to $2,250 and be eligible for SSI payments. Not all resources count in determin­ ing eligibility. The home the person lives in and the land around it are not counted, regardless of value. Per­ sonal effects or household goods with an equity value of $1,500 or less are not counted. Also, a car may not count. Q. A friend of mine and I each receive SSI payments. We have decided to live together so we can share household expenses. Do we have to notify social security of this change in our living arangements? A. Yes, you must notify social security if you begin living with others and shar­ ing the household expenses. You should also let social security know if there is any ?hange int he amount you or the other person contribute to expenses. These changes might cause an increase or decrease in your SSI pay­ ments. Q. My husband was too ill to work for many months before he died. Is it too late to get disability benefits? A. You have up to three months after the month your husband died to file a dis­ ability application or his behalf. Some benefits may be payable if he met all the requirements. The Banner, in coopera­ tion with the Social Security Administration, is publish ing a series of questions and answers on Social Security subjects. If you have a question, the Social Security Administration will be glad to answer it. Your social security office, located in Room 399, Federal Building, 110 Michigan. N.W.

LOIS BROMLEY Barry Townahip cierk Balance State Budget BY WARREN M. HOYT Governor To Use Executive Orders To Balance Budget Not long after the Legislature put the finishing touches on the new budget for the fiscal year beginning in October, Governor William G. Milliken said he would issue an executive order to cut the budget if voters approve the property tax amendment. With the uncertainty of the property tax amendment, the governor agreed the Legislature acted responsibly and efficiently in handling the budget at an early date. He added the Legislature was correct in finalizing the budget by using his original figures. The governor's original budget figures assumed a revenue loss to the state of $125 million if a property tax amendment were passed. The version placed on the ballot, however, pro* ’-les for a revenue cut ranging from $200 million to $290 million, according to various fiscal analysts. Milliken said if the amendment is passed, he would issue the budget cutting order in October. The order would then have to be approved by the House and Senate Appropriations Committees. The governor said the exact impact of the amendment could be better assessed by the fall, but with the cut in property taxes and the replacement revenue created by the increase in the seles and use tax, the net revenue loss would be around the $250 million figure. Meanwhile, the budget got more bad news when increases over January welfare figures of more than 3,000 in aid to families with dependent children and more than 4 000 in general assistance were recorded in preliminary caseload figures for February. And based on first quarter year data, the Department of Social Serviced faces a potential deficit of $30 million due largely to the welfare increases. If preliminary figures hold true, the GA caseload is already 4,000 cases above the appropriated levels for 1980-81 and ADC cases are less than 2,000 over the appropriat ­ ed levels. Department budget officials indicated, however, that cost saving measures would be implemented in April and an analysis would then be done to determine if a deficit is still likely. State Hiring Freeze Imposed In yet another belt-tightening move, a statewide hiring freeze was imposed by the governor. The order was issued after the governor met with departmental directors and he declared exceptions could only be granted with his personal approval. "This is another notch in our belt-tight­ ening process to bring the present year's spending into line with anticipated revenues," Milliken said. Although projected spending still outstrips projected revenue by $80 million, Milliken said, "I still believe that if we continue prudent management of state operations through the remaining six months of this fiscal year, we will have sufficient funds to meet all needs." The governor added other means of dosing the budget gap are still under review. Old Food, Ag Act Mary Leu Gray thought work last-Wednesday.

Saxons Drop Game to Harper Creek, 1-0 HHS senior pitcher and Saxon co-captain Bob Hause suffered his second loss of the season Tuesday evening at Johnson Field. Hause held Harper Creek batters to only 4 hits, but that was enough to send the locals down the tube, 1-0. Coach Bernie Oom pointed out lack of hitting in key situations caused the loss.

Charged with distribution of obscene materials were William Brandt and Virgil Harris of Battle Creek, and Gordon Hess, Hastings. Hess was acquitted by jurors, the Battle Creek men were con­ victed on two counts. Hess was defended by a Georgia lawyer, Charles Boyle of Atlanta. Herrick was defended by Michael Sandborn, a Lansing attor­ ney, and Brandt's attorney is Robert E. Smith, a Cali­ fornian. The men were charged with five counts each that they, “did know­ ingly sell, lend, give away, distribute, show or transmute(or offer to), or adver­ tise in any manner, obscene material.” Named specifically in the charges were motion pic­ tures “Sex World” and "Teenage Cheerleader". The previews “Prisoner of Para­ dise", “Hot Legs" and "Maraschino Cherry" were included in charges brought by Michigan State Police. Jurors found Hess Not Guilty on all five charges. Herrick and Brandt ’were found Guilty regarding "Teenage Cheerleader” and "Maraschino Cherry"; Not Guilty on other charges. Distribution of obscene ma­ terial is punishable by not more than one year in‘•jail and/or a fine of up to $1,000. The men are scheduled for sentencing before Judge Gary Holman May 29. Attor­ ney for one, Sandborn, indi­ cated an appeal is "Auto­ matic." Testimony Wednesday was delayed, as attorneys argued points with Judge Holman. First issue raised by Attorney Smith was val­ idity of the search warrant issued before the theater was raided July 24. Smith argued the warrant did not indicate whi"*’ stat­ ute was violated, d not specify circumstanc of a ootential violation. He said there was no probable cause a crime was committed and notmng w indicate there was contraband, per se. Smith referred to Sgt. Golm's testimony. He re­ minded the court Golm worked 27 years for the State Police, so there was no absence of law background. Golm testified he discus­ sed the law with the prose­ cutor, but only in a general way. Golms testimony the film, “had no redeeming social or moral value" was called to Holman's attention. Smith argued, "lack of social or moral values is not a crime." Smith said the magistrate who issued the warrant is not a lawyer. Smith sa:d the warrant should be invalidated. He cited other allegedly similar cases, in support of his arguments. Barry County Assistant Prosecutor Randy Levine responded. "We’re talking about probable cause, not proof beyond the shadow of doubt" Levine stated. The attempt to invalidate the search warrant came when the Prosecution at­ tempted to enter as evi­ dence photographs taken by State Police Trooper David Slenk the night of the raid. Photos depicted the conces­ sion walls covered with book racks and sex aides. After listening to argu­ ments of defense and prose­ cution Holman ruled the photos would be admitted into evidence, based on the* specific intent of the law. Providing pictures to the jury would be more proba­ tive than prejudicial. Hol­ man said he would instruct the jury the purpose of the photos was limited. The question of scienter (pronounced see-enter), which means “intent", con­ tinued. Scienter must be pr_Jwu, <us required by the Firs! Amendment. Prosecu­ tion planned to prove scien­ ter by proving defendants knew nature, character and content of the films by vir­ tue of items for sale in the concession stand. Smith argued the photos didn’t fairly represent the premises because, “funda­ mental fairness was not implicit in the mind of the photographer" since photos were not of the entire con­ cession area which also in­ cluded drink machines, pop­ corn machine, etc. But if, the photos were admitted, the court would be opening up a greater area, involving rubber goods and pictures. Smith reminded the court when a question is posed and the decision is close, the decision should be in favor of the defendant. Smith said admission of the pictures didn't prove scien­ ter. “It may prove the defendant knew the nature of the contents, but doesn’t prove knowledge of con­ tents," he said. Boyle objected on behalf of Hess, saying admission of the photos would be unfair. “Prejudicial value outweighs probative value,” he said. Sandborn objected for Her­ rick, “testimony showed Herrick was only involved by threading the projection machine - not that he knew the content of the material." Smith added the photos would only, “prejudice and inflame the jury." Holman ruled he would not allow the photos, "as they appear to be selected shots in an attempt to focus on specific subject matter and not the total room." Hughes objected, observing the jury would not be able to see the area in question. “It is important for the jury to see the concession area and important because of the nature and burden of the proof,” she said. Following debate, Holman again reversed his decision and ruled he would allow the photos relevant to the scien­ ter issue. He said “Probative value outweighs prejudicial value." The jury was re-seated and testimony began with State Trooper Robert Nor­ ris. His testimony support­ ed others, pertaining to the night of July 24, when the search warrant was served and films confiscated. Next witness was David Slenk, Acting Chief of Police in Grand Haven. The night of the raid Slenk was with the Hastings Post of the Michigan State Police. Pros­ ecution introduced the pho­ tos taken by Slenk the night of the raid. Slenk identified the photos which he took because he was "taken aback at the sex related parapher­ nalia.” Smith cross-examined Slenk. who testified he took pictures only of those walls where books and parapher-i nalia were located. He said anyone looking at the pic­ tures he took would get the idea he'd wanted to express. Slenk said he'd see such Slenk said he’d seen such material before, “F t noth­ ing like this.” Slenk testified intuition made him take the pictures because, "They'd be benefi­ cial to the investigation." He concluded on a humorous note, saying troopers in Hastings often get calls ask­ ing directions to the drive-in theatre. "Did you provide direc­ tions," asked Smith. “We’d just send 'em right over," Slenk said. At this point the Prosecu­ tor rested the people's case and defense attorneys took the floor. Sole witness for the defense was Sandy For­ tier, an Ann Arbor pyschotherapist certified by the American Association of Sex Educators and Counselors. Fortier testified she holds a bachelor's degree in phil­ osophy and a master's in social work. She's pursuing a doctorate in human sexual­ ity. She’s taught on the college level, trained under recognized experts in her field of study and conducts workshops for psychiartists, psychologists, doctors, ther­ apists and nurses. Fortier testified she uses sexually explicit film in deal­ ing with patients. She said the films are prepared specially for use by profes­ sionals. “Use of sexually ex­ plicit material is widespread in dealing with sexually dis- functioning patients,” said Fortier. “People express sexuality in different ways," said For­ tier. She testified the films have educational and scien­ tific value. They enhance communications and have a value for fantasy enrich­ ment. “They represent a slice of life,” she said. Fortier said the films, “Have educational value since they open avenues to communicate about prob­ lems often difficult to talk about with one's spouse. They enhance communica­ tions and enrich fantasy. It is important for couples to share fantasy." Fortier ad­ ded sexually explicit films, “make a serious attempt to educate," because after viewing couples have a firm sense of what they like and what they don’t like. “That's educatonal,” stated Fortier. Hughes asked the witness be disqualified, as she “Speaks to education, not science. Education is not a test (of what is obscene), science is." Hughes continu­ ed. "She has special films. The films on trial are avail­ able to the public." Holman ruled the witness qualified. Fortier said "Teenage Cheerleader" does not lack serious scientific value. She said the film has educational and fantasy enrichment value and is theraputic and improves communication by depicting common fantasy. She testified to values con­ tained in the three previews. Hughes asked Fortie. to examine pictures taken at the theatre. She identified vibrators, dildos and maga­ zines. Asked if she recom­ mended such items in treat­ ment, Fortier responded, "regularly, to pre-orgasmic women, for those who take too long." They have value in the context that they are a fairly common choice for disabled males, she contend­ ed. Asked if she takes an active part in making, film­ ing, participating or writing sexually explicit films, For­ tier replied she did not and is not sexually involved with clients. She said sexually explicit films have scientific value, but films “using" anyone in any way should be censored. She identified child abuse, beasteality or perpetuation of sexuality that hurts other people, as among such films. Asked if depiction of bru­ tality has scientific value, Fortier replied perhaps it is not brutality - perhaps it is what the subject wanted. She said many people have fantasies. "It offers a choice of something to do or not to do." Observing there is agony on a football field too, Hastings but it isn't forced on partici­ pants. “One doesn't have to agree or advocate actions to say they have value,” said Fortier. With conclusion of For­ tiers testimony. The de­ fense rested. The prosecu­ tion called Barry County Sheriff David Wood in re­ buttal. He was asked if he ever confiscated film at the drive-in theater. Smith objected. “Since when is this rebuttal? Prose­ cution had her chance to make her case earlier." Hughes said she was clearly entitled to a rebuttal wit­ ness, under the case People vs Bennett. Smith asked the arguement be made with the jury out. They were dismis­ sed and arguments continu­ ed. Boyle said "a fast reading of the case shows that particular court found re­ versible error. Prosecution didn't offer this witness." Sandborn said, allowing Wood to testify would, “be highly prejudicial," and to “pile this on top of the other allegations and innuendos is prejudicial." "Now we have a problem," said Holman, because the original question was raised by Co-Counsel. “What expertise does he have as a law scholar? The fact he's the sheriff doesn't make him an expert in con­ stitutional law," said Smith. Hughes said it was not her intent to show t he law didn’t exist, but that contacts have been previously made at the theater, contrary to defense statements not hing has ever been done to enforce the obscenity law. This is not part of any rebuttal." retorted Smith. Chief adversaries in the porno trial which began Monday, May 4, and ended late Friday morning. May 8, were Attorney Robert E. Smith of California, who defended William Brandt and Prosecuting Attorney Judy Hughes who presented the People's case. Other dedendants, Gordon Hess was represented by Charles Boyle of Atlanta, Georgia, and Virgil “Bud" Herrick, defended by Michael Y. Sandborn of Lansing.

Ken Neil, owner/operator of Hast ings Sanitary Service reviewed his landfill and requirements that pertain to it. He slated that he is limited to solid waste (as opposed to “toxic waste or hazardous waste”) and consequently may be forced to refuse some loads of wastes if he is uncertain of the contents. He went on to describe measures he is presently taking to comply with Act 641. Neil thanked the industries for their past cooperation, since it was to the community’s benefit to keep landfills clean and open as long as possible. He suggested that if the industries had questions about what could be landfilled, they could consult with the Health Department or D.N.R. officials. A discussion followed concerning what could and couldn't be accepted at landfills. Harry, Adrounie of the Solid Waste Committee suggested that cooperation between local industries could help keep costs down for all and offered assistance coordinating these efforts. Jim Gordon then offered a historical perspective on local and regional solid waste planning ove- the last two years involving compatibility. landfill lifespans, financing, and other issues. He also reviewed a waste incinera­ tion plant operating in the Detroit area. This plant is operated by eight governmental units and two local industries. He said such an incineration plant may be feasible for the Battle Creek/Kalamazoo area, but there are also some limits on what can be burned. Sylvia Dulaney reported the state is underwriting present planning efforts and Governor Milliken is in favor of offering some capital costs assistance for implementa­ tion of local plans once they are approved. She offered several examples this assistance could take and suggested industries might take advantage by exploring their future needs and offering suggestions which could be integrated into the County plans. The meeting closed with consensus more joint meet ings would be useful to the industries, the committee, and the community. Gets Elevator Bankruptcy Comments Secretary of Agriculture John Block has been ap­ plauded by the statee’s larg­ est farm organization for appointing a task force on protecting farmers' intersts in grain elevator bankruptcy proceedings. Michigan Farm Bureau President Elton R. Smith sent a letter of commenda­ tion to Block this week, along with a recently-com­ pleted research report on the subject of elevator bank­ ruptcies. Prepared by Michigan Farm Bureau staff, in co­ operation with the Michigan Department of Agriculture, t he report includes a survey of laws in other states aimed at protecting farmers in case an elevator goes bankrupt or declares financial insolvenc cy. “1 hope this report will be useful for you and your staff in analyzing this serious problem and in coming up with possible solutions," Smith told the secretary. Farm Bureau economist and researcher Bob Craig, who prepared the report, said getting legislation pas­ sed to protect farmers is only part of he challenge of finding solution tc the prob­ lem. "We could have the best law in the land here in Michigan, but if we don’t have appropriations from the state legislature to oper­ ate the Grain Dealers Act and other laws designed to protect farmers then the law isn't going to mean anything." Craig said. "One recommendation we made in I he report is for full funding for the Michigan Department of Agriculture's grain elevator inspection program," Craig added. Craig said Michigan Farm Bureau would support the concept of a state or national commodity check-off pro­ gram for the establishment of a producer protection bankruptcy fund, providing it is appr wed by a majority of effected farmers in a referendun vote. 4-H Youth Kathy A.

May 6, Proposals for June Ballot At a special meeting of the Maple Valley Board of Ed­ ucation held Tuesday, April 28th approval was given dividing the millage pro­ posals at the June election into three areas. One area will cover a tax rate limita­ tion increase proposition for operating purposes general­ ly covering instructional ex­ penditures. The second pro­ posal will be a tax rate limi­ tation increase proposition for school bus transporta­ tion. The third proposal is a tax rate limitation increase proposition for extra curric­ ular programs and services. There was some discussion regarding another millage proposal to provide addition­ al funds to enable restora­ tion of programs removed from the school program during the past year, but it was decided that it was not advisable at this time to place such a proposal on the ballot June 8. After defeat of the millage proposals this past year it was necessary to make mandated program re­ ductions, and the above fist­ ed millage proposals are merely to continue present programs. The two millage propo­ sals. one for transportation and one for operational are actually interacting millage proposals. The transporta­ tion proposal of 1.4 mills would bring to the district a combined local and state aid total of $120,306.00. The reason this proposal is en­ titled transportation is that it is intended to replace the dwindling state support for transportation. Over the past five years the state support has dropped form nearly 75 percent of the approved cost to approxi­ mately 35 percent of the cost. The projected cost of transportation for the 198182 school year is $305,042. Sevei)ty-five percent of that cost would be $228,782 com­ pared with the anticipated reimbursement from the state in the amount of $110,265. Therefore, your loss in state funding would be $118,517. If this millage proposal is defeated the following cuts would have to be made from the transpor­ tation program: 1. The two shuttle trips used to transport students between the elementary buildings in Nashville would be discontinued. 2. Our children will have to walk further to meet the bus allow.ng the transport­ ation program to cut approximately 10.440 miles from the overall bus routes, ly 10,440 miles from the overall bus routes. These two cuts will gain you $6,281 from the $118,517 slate aid loss leaving a balance of $112,236 state aid loss to make up from your instructional program, build­ ing and grounds, and main­ tenance budgets. These in­ structional, building and grounds cuts are listed be­ low; and all you have to do is go down the fist until the $112,236 is covered. The operational proposal is mainly your instructional programs with some funds used for buildinr rnd grounds and mainter. ice of plant budgets. This proposal is for 1.31 mills which will bring in a combined state­ local income of $112,572.00. The following is a fist of reductions in the instruc­ tional. building and grounds and maintenances budgets which will be made if the millage is turned down: One-half of the driver education program, $3,300; Special education room Maplewood, $6,508; One half-time custodian - Kellogg maintenance, $4,000; Capital outlay - maintenance, $3,000; Workshops and conference maintenance, $185; Special education aide - Maplewood, $3,150; Two special educa­ tion aides - Jr-Sr. High, $7,921; Custodial supplies 25% reduction. $4,450; One secretary high school, $5,915; Student & teaching supplies: 33 1/3% reduction, $18,165: One teaching staff Maplewood, $12,695; One and one half teaching staff Fuller Street, $18,530; Local funding for reading, $23,557; Close elementary libraries, $6,412; One teaching staff Fuller Street, $13,233; One teaching staff Jr. High School. $13,913; Total $114,934. The proposal related to extra curricular progams and services is to cover only those activities being pre­ sently supported by general fund expenditures. This pro­ posal is in the amount of .25 mills ($.25 on each $1,000.00) on state equalized valuation for the year 1981. This would cover the additional amount paid the junior and senior class advisors, and advisor to the Jr-High stu­ dent council are included in this proposal. The sports presenily covered by the general fund are the Jrvarsity^and varsity football program, Jr. varsity and varsity basketball for both the boys and girls teams, Jr. varsity and varsity volley□all for girls, and Jr. varsity and varsity wrestling. This would mean that the athletic boosters would have to con­ tinue to support several sports along with the band boosters assisting with some general expenses related to special band activities. In event this proposal is defeat­ ed, there will not be any expenditure from the gener­ al fund to support any ext a curricular activities. Your anticipated balance with current programs and no additional millage at the end of the 1981-8r school year is $219,683 in the red. This of course means, after spending all money received at the present millage rates and all state aid at currently stated funding levels as stat­ ed in the state aid act approved by your legisla­ ture in Lansing, your school district would run out of money sometime in April of 1982. If your Governor elects to make additional executive order cUs be­ cause of the financial con­ dition in Michigan, the finan­ cial condition of the school district would be even At the regular meeting of the board of eduation held April 20, 1981 approval was given for the restructuring of the high school curriculum in that the English Depart­ ment will become English I, II, III, and IV with a couple of special English classes and other semester long Methodist Church for the annua!

Il was not fell that the school district could afford io do this at this time con­ sidering the conversion cost involved. Also, the transpor­ tation program for the com­ ing school year is uncertain and will be affected by the outcome of the millage vote June 8. A general discussion was held regarding the bus slop at the corner of Bivens and Morgan road where the two Robot ham children get on the bus Mr. and Mrs. Robot ham expressed their concern over i he safety of this stop. Bus driver Arloa Baxter also expressed her concern re­ garding this slop along with visibility involved at this area. Transportation super­ visor Gerald Aldrich report­ ed to the board members that he had visited the site along with Larry Musser, Virginia Fox. Mrs. Robot­ ham and Sgt. Hilderley from the state police. Mr. Aldrich informed them that the bus stop meets the require­ ments of t he Michigan Motor Vehicle code and is an ap­ proved area for the bus to stop. Mr. and Mrs. Robot­ ham asked t hat t he bus come down the three tenths of the mile, and they would pro­ vide a turn around area in t heir yard. Board president Robert Dormer informed Mr. and Mrs. Robotham that the bus stop will remain the same al this time.

NOTICE MV Voters to Meet Candidates By .MARY LOU GRAY "Meet The Candidate Night" will be held Tuesday. May 12, at 7:00 p.m. at Maple Valley High School.

Among the new candidates are Beverly Sixberry, Ruth Wineman, Jim Shaw, Jim Bryan, George Hubka, Ron Tobias, Kenneth Mead Jr., Dale Ossenheimer and Lawrence Filter. At a special meeting Apr. 28, Maple Valley board members decided to ask voters for a total of 2.96 additional millage in 3 separate ballot questions. Each will stand independently. The break­ down is for an additional 1.31 for operational expenses, 1.40 for transportation and .25 for extra curricular. Maple Valley School system serves nearly 1,900 students in K-12 and operates on a total millage of 22.3. According to the Superintendent ’s office, the system is listed 523rd out of 529 K-12 districts in the state for the 1979-80 school year, considering that the district has one of the lowest millage levies in the Slate. They said 96 full time teachers were employed in 1979-80 school year. The number has been cut to 77.5 in the second semester of 1979-80 year. Junior/Senior High School Principal Burr Harienburg said two groups represent two schools of thought on millage. Those Concerned Citizens for Better Education have met, organized and discussed whether millage should be requested, I he amount and purpose. The other group’s feeling is to oppose any type of increased millage, for any reason, according to Hart­ enburg. Ruth Hughes, spokesper­ son for Concerned Citizens for Better Education, said purpose of the group is, ’’pro-education,’ and, "to preserve the educational system." About 25 to 30 active members comprise the group. Mrs. Hughes said the group wants, “To get the school hoard to divide the millage request and list millage requests as separate items on the ballot .’’that has been done. The group also wants proposed cuts listed if the millage doesn’t pass, which the school board has done. "The next step." said Mrs. Hughes, “to get information to the people about the millage and explain to them how much it will actually cost them in dollars and cents.” Residents of Barry County and Michigan Officers Officers insl ailed Saturday evening May 2nd Delton of t he Memorial VFW Posi 422 Holtz, were.

HOYT Business Climate To Be Top Legislative Priority Legislative leaders and the executive office are preparing for possible summer-long meetings that could., result in a secjjBS of recommendations for legislative action in the fall to help improve Michigan's business climate and increase jobs in the state. The proposed discussions could incorporate work already being done by such groups as the governor’s high-technology committee and small business conference, along with legislative study committees. The discussions will also examine ideas from other business, labor and academic officials in an effort to develop practical, potentially successful ideas. Job development was a high priority for all four legislative leaders, House Minority Leader William Bryant (R-Grosse Pointe Farms) said, and there are high hopes that the Legislature's fall session could result in positive laws for business and jobs. But there should be discussions to "winnow out impractical ideas, things that haven't worked in other places" before the Legislature returns for the fall session.

Attorney General Frank J. Kelley has ruled. He said the law specifically prohibits sex education from being a school requirement and added that the Legislature used the words class and course interchangeably. He issued the ruling in response to a school district’s inclusion in an 8th grade home economics class a unit of sex education. Students were excused from the sex education unit at the request of the parent or guardian. "The Legislature has expressly provided that parents have a right to review the contents of any course in which family planning or reproduction health are discus­ sed before they exercise their right to have their child excused from the class. School authorities may not avoid the effect of (the law) by including any sex education instruction in a required class," Kelley said. Voice of the People KENNETH E. BRAY Bank Promotes Bray Thomas F.

Maybe 1 should trade my casting rod in for a gun so that I can shoot the fish. I merely wanted a fishing license, so I am paying for extra papers, etc., that I am not going to utilize. If the State of Michigan is in so dire need for funds why do they not make a license for a cat necessary. If this would come about there would not be so many kit­ tens put to death because of the owners ignorance ( and look at the fees). Personally, maybe we should all be violators and take our chances on out­ smarting the game warden and not buying a license. M.C.

Page 5 PROPOSAL A PROPOSAL TO REDUCE PROPERTY TAXES, REDUCE CITY INCOME TAXES, LIMIT GROWTH OF PROPERTY TAX REVENUES, RETURN ADDITIONAL SALES TAX TO LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND SCHOOLS AND GIVE STATE LOTTERY PROFITS TO SCHOOL AID FUND. The proposed amendment would: 1. Reduce by 50% homestead property taxes used for operating schools and local governments. Reduction limited to $1400.00 in 1981 and changed yearly as home values change 2. Reduce by 50/o local individual income taxes on fiist $40,000 of taxable income. 3. Make state return to local governments all funds lost by above reductions. 4. Limit yearly property tax revenue growth to 6% by property type unless raised by local voters. 5. Raise sales tax from 4% to 5.5%. Raise must be returned to local governments and schools. 6. Let farms and forests be assessed at use value. 7. Give state lottery profits to school aid fund. YES Should this amendment be adopted? □ NO Understanding Proposal “A” Not All That Easy Con ••• Opponents of Proposal A have a variety of arguments, ranging from substantial philosophical ones to nitpicking trivia. We summarize what seem to be the strongest arguments against the plan: 1- -The promised 50 percent tax cut is illusory. No one will get a 50 percent cut, because that cut applies only to operating millages. Since there are debt levies all over the state, only part of your tax bill is subject to the cut. 2- Since everyone buys items subject to the sales tax, everyone's sales tax bill will rise as property tax falls. The degree of savings is dependent on how much of your income you spend on items subject to sales tax (almost everything except food and drugs), compared to your property tax. Some analyses indicate that many people on low incomes will actually pay more total tax. 3 -The sales tax increase is permanent, as the constition is being changed to require it. The property tax cut is temporary, because property assessments will rise six percent per year until they meet or exceed the old levels. 4- Business, already hurting in Michigan, gets no tax relief. In fact, since businesses pay sales and use taxes on many of their purchases, taxes paid by businesses will increase. This will make it harder to hold and attract businesses in Michigan. 5- The proposal and the bills to implement it can be used as a Detroit bail-out package. 6- It will increase the workload of local governments who collect taxes. Additional forms will be required, which involves postage costs and clerical work on the part of local governments. Homesteaders will have the burden of filing an exemption form every year, and the assessor will have to check and mark every account to calculate tax bills. The local unit will have to justify the exemptions and make a claim on the state for the matching funds. Taxpayers who fail to file on time may be allowed to claim an exemption on their state income tax filed the following year. These will have to be accumulated and proceeded by the state so a report can be made to the local unit and the funds transmitted one year later. There will be expenses of reprogramming computers, reworking paperworker procedures, verification of false or improper clai'-’s and considerable taxpayer contact with this program. Knowledgeable persons estimate a 10-30 percent increase in collection expense and employees. 7- Proposal A may cause an increase in local income taxes? Some experts predict every dty and charter township will have an increase tax in two years. Local government will tell its citizens that the lure of “free" state matching money cannot be passed up. Local units not chartered will be pressed to become chartered to take advantage of the bonanza. Pressure of matching funds on the slate treasury will be enormous. 8- The 6 percent cap on property taxes can be voided for up to 10 years by voters. Local citizens will be pressured to void thoir constitutional limitation. 9- Proposal A doesn’t guarantee any real tax cuts for Michigan taxpayers. Tax cuts are to be contained in 20 or more proposed bills in the legislature. After the election these can be altered or changed at the whim and caprice of the legislators before being passed. Any that are passed can be rescinded, manipulated or changed by this legislature or future legislatures. Proposal ‘A’ Summary of Proposal A, also called House Joint Resolution "G" and the Brown-Smith plan, which passed the House (86-17) and the Senate (28-7) on March 19, appears some­ what simple on the surface. It has nine basic components: 1. Cuts local property taxes levied for operating purposes on primary residential and farm homesteads by 50%. (So this does not represent a straight 50% cut - on the average it's closer to 47%, depending upon how much of the local government's millage is levied for operating purposes). Debt retirement millage is not included. Maximum 1981 deduction is $1,400. That ceiling will be adjusted to the growth in residential and agricultural SEVs each year. For example, if the SEVrate grew by 10%, the ceiling would be around $1,540 in 1982. Property will still be assessed at 50% of true cash value. 2. Cuts city income taxes in half or both residents and non-residents. The maximum reduction is $100 per %% of income taxes. This would equal $200 in most areas, where the standard resident income tax rate is 1 % (non-residents %%). But in Detroit, where a 2% income tax is levied, the ceiling would go to $400. And, if they raise their rate to 4% as is likely, it would be $800. 3. Increases sales and use taxes by 37.5% - from 4% to 5.5%. This action would replace about $797 million of the $1 billion or so lost by the property tax cut. (Legislative leaders claim about $40 million of that would be from non-residents buying goods in this State). The actual cut in State spending is estimated at anywhere from $200 to $260 million. No one's definite yet! 4. Places a cap on annual growth of operating property tax revenues revenues at 6%, by class (agricultural, residential, industrial, etc.) If the tax revenues in any class net more than 6% more than the previous year, the tax bills for that class would have to be adjusted to show only a 6% increase. This would represent an actual loss to locals if the inflation rate continues to stay well beyond that level. That loss is not reimbursable. The 50% homestead exemption is applied after the 6% cap. 5. Expands the circuit breaker credits. Currently, taxpayers who earn over $6,000 are eligible for a refund of all property taxes that exceed 3.5% of income. That percentage would be lowered to 2.5% for $7,000 and up, and the entire scale would be adjusted (see H.B. 4175) so virtually anyone earning less than $5,000, instead of $3,000 would pay no property taxes at all. (Additional circuit breaker credits could go as high as $1,200). 6. Requires local governments to obtain approval of their electors before raising millage rates - even if they're at less than their authorized millage. 7. Requires that agricultural and forest property be assessed by "use value" instead of true cash value. While this may be a break for such property holders, it will significantly increase the responsibilities and skills needed by local assessors and further decrease revenues. 8. Mandates the State to return 100% of property tax revenues lost by the 50% exemption to local governments. 9. Earmarks lottery profits for the school aid fund. Board to Consider June Millage Vote The Hastings Board of Education Tuesday will consider whether or not to accept the recommendation of the Citizens Millage Committee that an operating millage increase be placed on the ballot for June. The millage committee recently recommended that the board go for a millage increase, but the committee made no recommendation as to the sixe of the millage or how it should be presented. The board will also approve the commencement list for 257 Hastings High seniors and 53 adult education graduates. Superintendent Richard Cuenterh will recommend that the board take no action on school bus bids opened last month. He will also have workman compensation insurance bids ready for the board's consideration. The board meets at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at Pleasantview School. What to Do for a Tornado Spring and summer are glorious seasons in Michigan but, unfortunately, the warm weather carries with it the threat of tornadoes. The state has been victimized by more than 500 since 1950. Some merely touched down doing little damage Others struck with devastating force. The most awesome was a 1953 storm that claimed 115 lives, caused thousands of Juries and destroyed hundreds of millions of dollars of property in Flint and surrounding areas. Last year, Kalamazoo was the victim of a mid-May afternoon when killer winds took five lives and cuased 150 million in losses. "Scientists have yet to develop the means of controlling tornadoes, but new technology has given us a greatly improved warning system," says Terry Buckles, President of the Michigan Association of Insurance Companies (MAIC). “Each day, the National Severe Storm Forecast Center in Kansas City relerses a national report on potential storms to local weather agencies. Any signs of a tornado in the making brings a ‘Tornado Watch" alert to affected areas This is a signal for caution and preparation. ‘The Detroit office of the National Weather Service, which serves as a center for eight other offices in our alate, tracks the weather outlook around the dock. If a tornado is sighted or seen developing a Tornado Warning" is issued, which calls for emergency measures." While noting that most Michigan residents rely on local radio and television stations for such warnings. Buckles said an mcreasing number of communities are expanding their alert systems through installation of sirens and other alarms. He also points out that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration broadcasts weather information continuously at 162.55 megahertz on the Public Service Radio band. Tied into this is an electronic system that activities radios with special weather receivers. These are generally located in schools, hospitals, nursing homes and other sites with a special need for early warning. However, the system is available to both homes and businesses through most radio equipment stores with costs ranging from $14 to $35. No matter how the warning is received, there are some precautions everyone should learn to protect themselves both before and after tornadoes, Buckles said, receipts for any related expenditures which are usually covered by your insurance. Make a list of the type and nature of damage. Contact your insurance agent or company claim office. Most will have special teams in the field within a few hours after the storm and will seek to provide you with the fastest possible assistance. Phones will be extremely busy, so several calls may be required to get through. MAIC is a non-profit public affairs organization representing 45 property/casulty insurers. Headquartered in Lansing, its member companies write more than 50 percent of auto and homeowners insurance provided for Michigan residents. "Of course, we always advise property owners to review their insurance policy at least once a year to make sure they have desired coverage against all types of hazards," he said. "If they have any questions or want to make changes, they should contact their agent. "Another thing we suggest is to maintain an up-to-date inventory of personal property. A tornado can destroy possessions or scatter them beyond recovery. The inventory will help speed up any insurance settlement." Before the Storm. When a tornado watch is announced, MAIC advises preparing for the worst by gathering a first aid kit, flashlight, portable radio and extra batteries. Stay tuned to radio and television weather reports. If a warning is announced, move to a place of safety immediately. Head for the basement if the building has one. If not, jo to the center of the lowest floor and take shelter in any small room or closet, well away from windows. Stay low, and if possible, under heavy furniture. IF caught in the open during a tornado warning, seek shelter in a ditch, revine or other place below ground level and stay as low as possible. If driving, move at right angles away from the path of the approaching storm. After the Storm. Move from your shelter cautiously, being especially alert for downed power lines or damaged buildings that may collapse. Working telephones will be needed for emergency crews, so avoid making calls unless immediate help is needed. Inspect your property as soon as you can and make temporary repairs to prevent further damage. A group of whales is called a gam. Pro... Here is a summary of the leading arguments in favor of Proposal A. as put forth by Gov. Milliken, Rep. Don Gilmer and other proponents: 1- It will provide a substantial reduction in property taxes for homeowners, and some relief for renters. The reduction in property taxes is 50% of the operating millage (not debt millage) 2- School districts and local government will be reimbursed for the money they lose through property tax reduction, so it -hould not hurt their operations. The money will come from the increased sales tax and earmarked state lottery funds. 3- 0wners of farm and forest land will have their land assessed at a value based on the use of the land, not its value for speculative purposes. This should be especially helpful to farmers living close to urban areas, where land ualues have soared far beyond the land’s value for agricultural use. 4- City dwellers who pay city income tax will get a tax break on the local income tax. That doesn't help Barry County residents, but may be beneficial in other areas where relief is needed. 5- The effect of escalating land values will be limited by a six percent limit on the assessments within a particular class. This doesn’t mean that your assessment can’t go up more than six percnet. But as a group, property assessments cannot exceed that figure. 6- Michigan voters have twice turned down the Tisch tax-slashing approach, because they are unwilling to give up the services which would have to be cut. This proposal insures the maintenance of necessary state services while affording tax relief. 7- Proposal A provides for an estimated $1,050,000,000 (more than $1. billion) in local property tax relief because of the 50% exemption. To partially balance this, the sales tax increase is expected to recoup about $800,000,000 (800 million) Thus the state will have to get by with a loss of $250,000,000 in revenues, which will be pocketed by Michigan taxpayers. 8-The tax relief is “indexed" so that the effect will increase inline with inflation. You can get up to $1,400 in property tax relief this year; in future years, this amount will be higher. • • • Starting this year no local unit of government can collect more than 6 percent in added property tax revenue over last year's amount on each class of property, no matter how high property tax assessments have been raised. One of the amendments to this proposal repeals the Headlee property tax rollback formula so that the six percent ceiling could be applied to each separate class of property. Thus, if residential and agricultural assessment increases are especially high, they will be directly offset by limiting the growth of revenue in each of those classes to six percent. The relief under this plan, if approved, will be reflected by a direct reduction in the citizens’ homestead ?roperty tax bills rather than a rollback of the millage rate, he result will be a much more effective limitation on residential and agricultural property tax bills than the Headlee Amendment could ever provide. State aid to schools will not have to be reduced by millage rollbacks as currently caused by the Headlee Amendment. This is an overall tax cut at state expense. Proposal A will provide about $1,050 billion in new local tax relief and will be partially offset by an $800 million raise from the l‘6c increase in the Michigan sales and use tax. Local property ‘ax revenues lost to school districts and governments because of the 50% exemption must be replaced dollar-for-dollar by the state, thus the $250 million net tax cut would be fully borne by the state rather than local government.

Pope Shot No School Millage On June 8 Ballot Hastings School District voters will not have a proposal for morAmillage on the June ballot. In unaniomous action Tuesday, the Board of Education approved a motion to not place a request for more millage on the ballot. Discussion on the millage question opened with letters from two board members, Dr. Jack Walton and Dr. William Baxter, both stating that they could not support a request for increased millage at this time. Neither Walton nor Baxter was able to attend Tuesday's meeting. In his letter. Dr. Walton said he must disagree with the recommendation of the Millage A Ivisory Committee. Kt pointed out that Michigan is in the worst recession since the 1930s, and concluded that "we cannot expect the taxpayers ...u> vote for more taxes." Baxter’s letter was similar, saying that the board "should not request additional millage,” although he would "personally desire the return of the programs" which have been cut. Judy Lenz, chairman of the board Fiance Committee, said her committee recommended that "we not place a millage on the ballot.” She made the motion, seconded by William Cotant, that the millage question not be put to a vote on June 8. Board Member George Wibalda said that he is “quite torn up" about the millage question. He noted that the board indicated, when it asked for millage renewal in March, that it would come back with a request for more millage in June. He said he hopes that economic conditions will permit the board to seek more operating miliage within a year. Board member JoAnn Fluke said she is in favor of increasing the school millage, but feels that uncertainties because of the economy and Proposal A make it inadvisable at this time. Board President Richard Groos said he had spoken “to a number of people” on the millage question.

The vulnerable moose became easy prey; by the mid-1970s the wolf populate had doubled while moooe numbers were halved. In 1980 there were 50 wokeomore than twice the number that scientists bdfeve can be sustained on the 210-aquare-mile island. Wolves found the 600 healthy moooe, stabilized and in balance with their habitat, formidable prey. As the wolves had been putting more pressure on the beavers, that populate dropped 75 percent in seven years. Understanding these radical changes in the wildlife populations on Isle Royale is one of the results of a wolf predation study conducted continuously since 1958. The wolf research is supported by the National Park Service, the National Geographic Society, and other groups, Ralf Peterson, a biologist with Michigan Technological University and director of the Isle Royale study since 1975, said: “The 1936 fire made the big change in the whole balance of nature­ producing a big spurt in habitat, then in moose, and finally in wolves. “Now that we are wring the last vestiges of that spurt, the wolf population must decrease to a proper ratio with moose--probably 20-24 wolves to 600-650 moose. “But if the wolf population falls idioiyncracies of the individual wakes," Peterson said. “In a few cases, we have seen females peal their liters and raise them together. Perhaps they like each other, er are sisters." Gray wolves are endangered in all states fa their range except Minnesota and Alaska.

Roadless and accessible only by boat or floatplane, Isle Royale provides a unique wilderness laboratory where wakes and moose are protected but not influenced er manipulated by maa. “Isle Royale fa actually the last place left where biologists can study undisturbed wolves and moooe. Here we can see the natural patterns of survival and predation that large preditors and their prey have shaped throughout evolutionary history-pat­ terns that have gone essentially unobserved by man," Peterson said. “We now know that wolves are the agent of natural selection in the development of many big gawe ■pedes.” He added that many of the hoofed manual's physical and behavioral characteristics, such as elusiveness, are attributable to wolf predation.

At that time it was called the Thomapple Valley Home and Barry County Medical Care Facility, and they were dedicating a new 37-bed wing, to add to the new 104-bed original project, completed in the Spring of 1958. Cost of the completed building was approximately $965,000.00. The new Facility was an innovation in that it was one of the first facilities to replace the old County Homes. Officials of other counties were referred to Barry County to receive a first-hand picture of what could be done for the care of the aged. When the original 104-bed building was completed, 55 patients were admitted the first three days, and confusion reigned supreme. Within a short time there was a waiting list of patients who wanted to be admitted.

May 13,1981, Page 4 EDITORIAL Ask the Governor Question - When times are as bad as these, why are you recommending that agricul­ ture receive state money? Governor - We have come to realize during the past two recession periods that u.sTiculture is one of the major stabilizing forces in our economy. Gross farm income has been growing at a rate of 10 percent a year since 1970 and, in fact, in­ creased 15 percent in 1980. Agriculture employs about 200,000 full-time workers and agriculturally related food businesses account for an additional 250,000 jobs. Last year agriculture con­ tributed 112 billion to the state's economy and was one of the major factors in Mich­ igan's p dtion as the num­ ber-two exporting state in the country - second only to California. In my judgement, therefore, agriculture offers tremendous potential for the future. One of the things we're doing to strengthen this force - even at a time of economic distress - is to step up on the agricultural re­ search activities that go on in our universities, partic­ ularly Michigan State Uni­ versity. We’re stepping up our activities in our foreign trade offices and the Depart­ ment of Agriculture itself, to find new markets for our agricultural products. And we’re proposing to relieve the serious problems farm­ ers, like others, experience with escalating property taxes, by adding to the May The Hastings Too Many Political Cooks 19 property tax relief prop­ osal, a measure to assess farms and forests at "use” value rather than at their value for potential develop­ ment. Question -1 am handicap­ ped and have seen the many changes in buildings and transportation that have helped me get around during the past couple of years. But with all the budget cuts coming up, Fm afraid thesimprovements will stop. Answer - I believe it is essential that we maintain the state’s commi'ment to the handicapped. The Mich­ igan Commission on Handi­ capper Concerns (MCHC) is the lead agency in providing technical assistance and ad­ vice on programs to all state departments. Although these changes are increas­ ingly difficult in light of current financial problems and numerous federal regu­ lations, I have asked all state departments to continue their compliance in coopera tion with the MCHC. I have also directed the MCHC to evaluate current independent living trends of handicappers and develop an approach to coordinate fed­ eral, state and local re­ sources encouraging this trend. State agencies and departments whose services affect handicappers will co­ operate with the commission in these efforts. Banner (11SPS071-830) 301 8. Michigan, P.O. Box B. Hastings, Ml 49058 Hugh S.

Track Boys Come Up Short Against Marshall & Hillsdale The boys track squad came up on the short end of 89-43 and 80-51 tallies Tuesday in Marshall. They competed against teams from Hillsdale and Marshall. Against Hillsdale the Saxons mustered 5 first place finishes. Brad King took the 100 yd. dash in 10:35, Randy Coon, Greg Clark Doug Tack and Brad King won the 440 relay. Clark won the 880 run and King the 220. Clay Laughlin won the 2 mile run for the Saxons. Second place finishers against Hillsdale included Tack in the Discus, Scott Barnes in the high jump, Kyle Lancaster in the long jump and the mile run, Tony Williams in the pole vault and the mile relay team. Jim Sprague took third place in duscus, shot put and Pat Merrill in the long jump, and the 330 low hurdles, Laughlin in the mile, Ahearn in the 440 and Barry Favorite in the 880. Hastings took 7 first place finishes against Marshall competition, but was out­ pointed by Marshall’s second and third place scoring. Scott, Barnes won the high jump, Lancaster the Long jump, King the 100 dash, Clark the 880, Tony Williams the pole vault, and the 440 relay team won. The Saxons took only 4 second place finishes and placed third only 3 times. Next meet for the boys track team is Saturday in Greenville for the Regional meet.

And we're afraid that’s exactly what happened to Milliken's tax cut proposal on the way to the May 19 polls. What started out as a laudable effort to provide some tax relief to property owners — without completely emasculating state government-had so many riders put on it to satisfy various political groups, that it no longer meets the original need: The effort to halve property taxes is what a lot of people want. And it makes sense to pass some of the benefits through to renters with a tax credit on their rent. Then they started heaping the goodies on it. First, to keep the big spenders and public employees happy, they hiked the sales tax by 37.5 percent. Milliken and his cronies wanted to be able to sell a "tax cut" without really trimming state revenues by very much. Interestingly, the sales tax cannot be "capped" like property taxes, to keep it from rising too fast. The faster retail prices go up, the more all consumers will pay in sales taxes. If prices jump 10 percent in a year, so will sales taxes we pay and the state gets. Then they threw a bone to Detroit residents and commuters by cutting the city income tax in half, and replacing the lost revenue with state funds. The people of Detroit, any time they want, can have that income tax cut or eliminated. All they have to do is be willing to operate responsibly and stay within their means, like the smaller towns traditionally do. Why should revenue from the whole state make up Detroit's shortfall? Proposal A would change the state constitution to permit assessment of farm and forest land by use, but does not require it. Unless and until the legislature would see fit to write and enabling law, assessment would continue on the same unfair basis as at present. The stipulation earmarking state lottery profits for the school aid fund is a phony. Taxpayers were told when the lottery was begun that the profits were intended for school use. It didn't happen. And even if it does, the legislature can simply divert other general fund moneys for other uses. It sounds good, but means nothing. At one time, we were tempted to vote for this proposal. Evdn now. State Rep. Don Gilmer is saying that although the proposal has its fauhs, it is better than nothing. He's even saying that those who want more can plan to vote for Tisch next year. I think we'll sit this one out. The poiiticans have taken the good intentions of Proposal A, and cobbled, bent and stretched it until it is unrecognizable. The amount of tax relief to the average citizen is very small. Although the governor is selling the package as a boon to senior citizens. State Sen. Jack Welborn says they wiH be hurt the worst by it. Probably the biggest shortcoming is that Proposal A is an anti-business measure. Business gets no property tax relief. Busmeec will pay more through sales taxes. It is a further effort to squeeze the last drop from business before it is dry. Michigan nevds jobs, pure and simple. If anything, the taxpayers should make sacrifices to hold and nurture business, not make it tougher in an already-desperate situation. Only business can make the Michigan economy come alive again and provide the base for normal financial security and public services. We don't need another nail in the Michigan business coffin. On balance. Proposal A is unacceptable. Too much political meddling has ruined what might have been a beneficial plan. We'N vote "No" on this one and wart for a true tax cut. SECOND LOOK Officials Get Nervous When They Face Their Own Quotes By LARRY HAMP A recent poll by the Michigan Press Association indicates people rearing small town daily and weekly newspapers went more hard news coverage of local, state and national happenings. Comment we've heard indicates involved people want and enjoy 'gritty' news coverage where a spade is identified as a spade. Unfortunately, reaction of poiiticans has not been so favorable. Twice in 24 hours, county officials have claimed improper reporting by the Banner. One made his charge boldly, if incorrectly, the other pussy-footed up to the door, but didn't quite dare open up. County Board Chairman Ken Rodent sent a letter to dty council Monday night saying he's been mis-quoted and misinterp­ reted, but neglecting to name the villains. Later in the letter. Radant charges Banner reporter and city councilwoman Mary Lou Gray with either mis-quoting or taking his remarks at a recent meeting out of context. Radant is wrong - on all counts. Gray, through present at the meeting, did not write the article. Nor, when written, did the article mis quote or mis-interpret, or print out of context. Radant's remarks. A tape recording of the session makes the point dear. Tuesday morning. Planning and Zoning Commission Chairman Kensinger Jones formally presented to county commissioners a letter of explanation regarding a meeting of his commission Apr. 27. At the dose of his remarks, Jones told commissioners when he returned from a trip to Pennsylvania and read the local papers, "I thought I'd attended a different meeting." We talked to Jones, told him we'd attended the meeting, and disagreed with his assessment. Jones didn't deny interrupting speakers, but said the Banner should not have headlined remarks made in a telephone interview the morning after the meeting. He justified his actions and attitude to commissioners and to the Banner claiming al points of view were heard. He said matters irrelevant to the agenda were brought into discussion, and had to be cut off. Jones too, is wrong on all counts. The Banner did not mis-report events at the Apr. 27 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. Nor did it in is-represent Jones' attitude or demeanor at the meeting. And though several persons did stray from the point under discussion (who doesn't occasionally?), some legitimate questions and comments were gavelled (or shouted) down. These are not the only rumblings we've heard from local politicians and officials. They probably won't be the last. But we don't mind - it’s nice to know you're noticed. One-hundred twenty years ago. Editor Wilbur Storey of the Chicago Times said, "It is a newspaper's duty to print the news, and raise hell." He was echoed by another anonymous newsman who wrote, "The duty of a newspaper is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable." Amen. • • • I had to take another look at a softball game in Lakewood Tuesday afternoon. Saxon varsity pitcher Michelle Blair "Got stuck" with a bad umpire who wouldn’t keep his head down there to catch her curve ban "catching the comer." It's too bad when a talented athlete is deprived of the benefits of her work by someone who shouldn't be doing his. But this girl is talented and shouldn't lose her head to anger when these things happen. You've just got to groove it, kid. Don't you, or your team mates get "blue" down on you. 4-H NEWS Plans Being Made For 4-H Camp By DORIS J. RICHARDSON County Extension Director 4-H CAMP NEWS Spring cleaning ’3 under way.

It isn't Russia that scares me the most, but the people in my own country - the ones with guns. And I'm more afraid of the balanced individuals in this society than I am of the unbalanced ones or the criminals. The gun I fear the most is the one in the hands of a friend, a relative or neighbor. I fear the gun that might go off accidentally or in a moment of anger. I fear the gun that is not locked up, safe from my child's hands. Japan and a few other civilized counties have very strict gun control Jaws and corresponding-low homicide rates. Inddentially, none of these countries have been attacked by Russia lately. If the United States were to be attacked by Russia or any other country (we do have other enemies) the civilian population would hardly be qualified to defend their country, nor would they be permitted to do so. All the bullets in the U.S. / wouldn't stop a missile. If President Keegan hed Learns Marine Law Coast Guard Machinery pl " Technician 3rd ** Uiass Gregory D.

May 1J, 1981, Page 8 Loftus Helps Drop Double-Header To Lakewood Fifteen errors in 2 games were all it took to kill the varsity softball team in a double-header Tuesday at Lakewood. Saxon defense made 7 errors in game 1, then made 8 more in the nightcap. Michelle Blair took both losses for Hasitngs. She gave up 4 runs, struck-uut 1 batter and walked 7 batters in game one. She walked 9 in game 2, while striking-out 1 and giving up 8 hits. Blair's normally accurate pitch either failed to catch the corners, or wasn't being called by plate umpires, but it was errors that made the difference in both games. Saxon infielders in particular couldn't field or throw the ball, or made mental errors determining which play to make. Saxon girls looked pretty good at the plate. In game one they collected 6 hits, including a pair of singles by Freshman shortstop Monica Yesh. In game 2, the Saxon bats boomed, collecting 14 hits. Sue Neil get the pace with 2 singles and a double. Tammy Connor had a single and <i triple. Michelle Blair, Jody Moore and Deb Bustance ■each collected a single and a double. Deb Jaynes had 2 singles and Stacey Reasor got a double. But coach Judy Anderson said, “We didn't play well - it WMU Flight Team happens every time we go to Lakewood - for some reason we don’t do the job.’’ Anderson said the team, “Started well in the second game and really hit the ball well, but the errors just overcame our other efforts.'’ Anderson said the Saxons open tourney play with a qualifying round in Hastings against Gull Lake Thursday afternoon.

County Appeals Board By MARY LOU GRAY Suit was filed in Barry County Circuit Court Tues­ day, May 12, by M.I.C. Limited, a Michigan corporation, by attorney Michael Y. Sandborn of Lansing, against the Barry County Zoning Board of Appeals; Dale Conklin, Ronald Coats, Norman Stanton, Richard Scott, Larry Kornstadt, Wilbur Solomon, and Richard Hartman, individually and in Against their capacity as Barry County Zoning Board of Appeals members. MIC Limited, through counsel requested a variance from the Barry County Zoning Board of Appeals in April due to rebuild the movie screen damaged by fire Nov. 6 last year. The suit further states after, “a very vocal and emotional plea from certain audience members," the commission agreed to a special meeting scheduled for May 5,1981. At that time MIC was asked to: Provide certain documentation to board members concerning replacement costs of the screen tower (Section 8.3) The suit further states proper documentation was provided, and, in spite of compliance with the Board’s only request, application was denied because of noncompliance with three sections of Article VIII of the Zoning Ordinance. The three sections under which denial was made are 8.2 Continuance of Use; 83 Restoration and Repair; 8.5 Repair of Nonconforming Buildings. Section 8.2 reads that, “That lawful use of any premises at the time of the adoption of this Ordinance Republican nomination for may be continued even the 55th district seat in the though such use does not Michigan House of conform to the provisions of Representatives. this Ordinance, but if such Currently, Reisterer is nonconforming use is Regional Field Director and discontinued for a period of National-alternate delegate one [1] year, the future use for Ronald Reagan.

They allege denial, "demonstrates “A” - Will Run Against Welborn By MARY LOU GRAY Ron Reisterer, 30 year old chairman of the Citizens for Tax Cuts, NOT Tax Shifts, spoke to about 200 people gathered .Wednesday, May 13, at the Community Building in Hastings. Topic was Govenror Milliken's Proposal A. “I sure do take my hat off to you people in Barry County. You understand the necessity and need for tax relief,” stated Reisterer. "Over 180 years ago Thomas Jefferson spoke of a wise and frugal government," said Reisterer. "There is no greater inducement than to be able to keep the fruits of one’s labor." he said. “And we’re taxing ourselves into economic exhaustion and stagnation.” He said Michigan has the worst job climate of the 48 continental states. A recent study outlined various reasons, but prime reasons are the high state and local per capita tax burden, and the cost of Workmen's Compensation in Michigan. “In taxing so heavily and spendingso liberally, we are disregarding Jefferson's axiom", Reisterer concluded. Reisterer, a resident of Comstock, has a bachelor’s degree in business and history from Western Michigan University, and will face State Representative Don Gilmer (R) in the primary election in an attempt to win the Delton Student Will Study Reisterer What you subsidize you encourage.

Joan Rishel, Rt. 2, Delton, was one of 4 Western Michigan University students honored with scholarships for foreign study next year. Rishel will study at the Keio University. She was also honored for excellence in study of Spanish. She was the only student listed to win both an award in language for excellence and a scholarship for foreign study. The low bidder for the insurance was the Marsh & McLennan Agency of Grand Rapids, representing Royal Globe Insurance Co. The cost of the insurance, figured at a 10 percent loss ratio, was $34,668.

At an estimated cost of $1,070,000 the project will add a 12,000 square foot third floor to the Physicians Center, renovate the heat­ ing and air conditioning system, and add fire exits. The two buildings will be connected by a 70 foot enclosed walkway and a 30 foot tunnel. The Slate Health Deparmtment’s decision coincided with the recommendation of the Southwest Michigan Health Systems Agency.

Suit further alleges that denial under 8.5 "demonstrates the clear abuse and misuse of the Defendant’s discretionary powers in denying said variance and further indicates a vindictive, hostile and malicious attitude toward Plaintiff." The suit further alleges Plaintiff, “has a clear legal right to the granting of the variance sought due to its full and complete compliance with the applicable section of Article VIII of the Ordinance in Question and all other general requirements of said Ordinance as a whole.” MIC’s suit claims each of the Defendants "had and have a dear legal duty to issue said variance....and as a result of denial of said variance Plaintiff has been unable to continue its business and its property has been rendered useless as it now exists." The suit asks for issuance of a Writ of Mandamus, and requests damages against Defendants, each in the amount of $25 thousand plus all costs and reasonable attorney fees incurred. Barry County Prosecuting •mey Judy Hughes said s):. (‘presents the Zoning Board of Appeals and members in their official capacity, but does not represent members in their individual capacity. Hughes added each member of the board has the right to seek council in their individual capacity. The Writ of Mandamus according to Hughes, is a court order to government or officials to lake an action the judge believes the body legally required to make. Circuit Court Judge Hudson Deming granted the petition for an order to show cause and the show cause hearing has been set for Friday, May 22, al 1:30 p.m. in Circuit Court.

Where do unwanted chemical contaminants in drinking water originate? "Eckhardt C. Beck, former Environmental Protection Agency official, explained to National Wildlife. "Industrial discharges, agricultural and urban runoff and accidental spills combine to make many of our rivers and streams a lethal soup of organic chemicals." Recent surveys have found more than 700 organic chemicals in drinking water supplies, including 49 known or suspected cancer causing compounds. The Mississippi and Ohio Rivers are among the most polluted waterways. Chlorofonn-a suspected cancer producer-has been found in drinking supplies of almost all surface water systems surveyed. It has also been found in 70 percent of chlorinated ground water employees. They all believe systems. railroading is coining back.

Sandborn’s complaint using 8.5 as a basis to deny is “without basis in fact in that said section is totally inapplicable for the following reasons: A) Said section addresses itself to repair of nonconforming buildings, not restoration; B) Said section applies to buildings or part thereof, rendered In Japan Committee To Award Insurance The Insurance Committee of the Hastings Area Board of Education was scheduled to meet Monday evening to award the bid for workman's compensation insurance for the coming year for the Hastings Schools. The matter was referred to the insurance committee last week by the board of education, after the board looked over the bids. The Banner incorrectly reported last week that the board had awarded the bid. Although there was a motion made to award it to the low bidder, that motion was withdrawn and the matter sent to committee. The insurance committee was given the power to act on the matter. the clean abuse and misuse of the Defendants' discre­ tionary powers...and further indicates a vindictive, hostile and malicious altitude toward Plaintiff." Section 8.3 reads, “Such repairs and maintenance work as are required to keep a non-conforming building or structure in a sound condition may be made. In the event any nonconforming building or structure shall be damaged by fire, wind or an Act of God or the public enemy, it may be rebuilt or restored provided the cost thereof shall not exceed one-half the value of such building or structure after such' rebuilding or restoration; said determination to be by an appeal to the Board of Appeals. MIC claims using 8.3 to deny the variance is totally without basis in fact in that Plaintiff satisfied said section by providing the information...on April 21, lj981.” The suit alleges denial demonstrates, "the clear abuse and misuse of the Defendant's discretion­ ary powers in denying said variance and further indicates a vindictive, hostile and malicious attitude toward Plaintiff." Section 8.5 reads, "Noting in this Ordinance shall prevent the repair, rein­ forcement or reconstruction of drinking water for 100 million Americans, and for 95 percent of the people in rural areas, is even worse in some areas than surface waler." Twenty-three public­ water supply wells in Nassau County and 13 in Suffolk County on Long Island were closed because they were contaminated with synthetic organic chemicals. Almost two million people are served by those contaminated water supplies. A recent study found all three of Long Island's majcr aquifers contaminated. In Michigan, water in 268 wells is already contaminated and pollution is suspected at 381 other sites. Because this water does not flow like a river, a contaminated underground drinking supply is virtually impossible to clean up. Many of the chemicals contaminating groundwater come from industrial discharges. A recent congressional subcommittee report revealed that each day 50 billion gallons of liquid industrial wastes are dumped in surface impoundments. Fortunately, EPA believes only a small percentage of the nation's aquifers have been irretrievably impaired by contamination. However, as Beck told a congressional committee last year: “The story of hazardous wastes and vulnerable ground waters is just beginning to be written, but the opening chapter is enought to predict this will become the environment horror story of the 1980s." What’s needed to rid our drinking water of the dangerous chemical cocktails discovered in recent years: National Wild­ life Magazine has these suggestions: First, we must keep toxic chemicals oat of our riven and streams. Under the Clean Water Act of 1972, toxic discharges into the nation's waters must be eliminated or greatly reduced by July 1, 1984. Environmental groups will fight to insure that industry complies with these tough restrictions. Second, we must do a better job of keeping hazardous wastes from contaminating ground water and surface water used as sources of drinking water. Third, the protection. monitoring, and treatment of our drinking water must be improved. Can concerned consumers take action? National Wildlife suggests that they insist that their water utilities test the water for chemical contaminants and then do whatever is necessary to get those contaminants out of the treated water. In addition, consumers can Lest their drinking water themselves, by writing their local state health departments for a sterile sample bottle and instructions. If anything questionable turns up, they should contact officials immediately. As one EPA official from the Office of Drinking water emphasized, “If you wait for the body count, you have waited too long." Wolpe Bill To Aid Pension Losers Third District U.S. Cong. Howard Wolpe introduced legislation which would help about 300 local retirees who paid into the Georgia Pacific pension plan but never received their benefits because the plan terminated and the plant closed. Government guarantees of priviate pension plans began in 1974 with the enactment of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). Wolpe's legislation, commonly known as the "Pension Losers Bill." would provide a basic benefit for some 60.000 persons nationwide who lost t heir vested pensions before the 1974 cut-off for ERISA protection. This number includes some 5,000 Michigan retirees who were vested in about 36 plans statewi le. "This bill would simply extend the protection our government intended through ERISA," Wolpe said, "to certain retired Americans - most oi them elderly and living on fixed incomes - who were arbitrarily excluded because of the 1974 cut-off date. "We are talking about a finate number of beneficiaries and a finite Bird ID Walk Satuday The Hastings Outdoor Nature Center is sponsoring a “Bird Identification Walk" at the Outdoor Nature Center at Sweezy's Pond on Saturday.

Violations of these restrictions will be enforced by prosecution. plan with a set payment. The only people covend are those who paid in their hard-earned dollars with the hope that they could live with respect and dignity during their retired years. "This measure would provide a small compensation for these people. Without it, they will have paid double for nothing. They invested in 'the future and in the American economy through their savings but received nothing in return, and they're still paying by suffering double-digit inflation on fixed incomes." The Pension Losers Bill would, provide benefits to pension losers who worked at least 10 years a became vested under the terms of their pension plans which terminated before July 1. 1974; and allowed benefits beginning at age 65. It would also compensate annually at the rate of $75 for every year a pension loser worked toward a pension (for example, 10 years of work would entitle the pension loster to an annual payment of $7501; The bill would he administered by the Department of Labor determining eligibility with checks distributed by the Social Security Administration (out of general revenues), andphase out by about 2010, according to a Labor Department study. "The scope of pension losers is nationwide," Wolpe said. "The hundreds of letters my office has received come from senior citizens genuinely concerned about their futures in these hard pressed limes." "A few gel minimal pensions from their last place of employment; but far too many received only a monthly Social Security check. It is not exactly the kind of safe, secure retire­ ment for which they planned and have already paid." Wolpe added. "While this bill will not even come close to repaying all their losses, it will provide important compensation for t host­ workers who have been denied pensions lor so long; at the same time, limits on the compensation take into account the current federal fiscal situation." Wolpe concluded. �THE HASTINGS BANNER, Monday, May 18,1981, Page 2 Welborn Blasts Governor And Proposal “A” Attend Library Workshop Public Library Trustee John Barnett and Librarian Dene Oehler attended an all-day library workshop in NOTICE There will be a public hearing and special meeting of the Barry County Board of Commissioners on the Barry County Co-Tran study Wednesday, May 20, 1981, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the Circuit Court Room, Barry County Court House, Hastings, Michigan.

He has been critic of the Barry County Planning/Zoning Commission for alleged discriminatory attitude-re­ garding placement of mobilehomes. "Elected officials, for the most part, aren't doing what the people elected them to do.

EDITORIAL School Board Shows It’s SAVE CASH Listening to the People ...And don’t miss an issue SUBSCRIBE to the Hastings Banner The Hastings Area Board of Education made a wise decision in deciding not to put a millage increase request on the June ballot. Despite some members' strong feelings that the schools need more revenue, they correctly read the public pulse on more taxes, and bowed to the reality that a millage cannot pass. In doing so, the board ignored the recommendation of the Millage Advisory Committee, and rightly so. That committee failed to assess the public temperament, when it i ecommended a millage increase. Then, it failed to carry out its mandate from the board, when it did not make a recommendation on how much millage should be sought, and how it should be presented. In a phrase, the committee copped-out. The committee was doomed, anyway. It was too heavily laden with school employees and others who have dose ties to the schools. Business and agriculture, which represent a high proportion of the tax base, had only token representation on the committee. Be that as it may, the board demonstrated that it is responsive to the will of the public. That's encouraging. Last week's meeting of the school board was one of the best we have attended. Instead of the usual rapid-fire pace of the business meeting, there was discussion of issues and problems. Although there was some unnecessary confrontation between a belligerent member of the audience and defensive board and administation members, there was also more give-and-take then has been the practice in recent tense months. The atmosphere seemed more open and less guarded than usual. One of the best signs, of course, was the discussion among board members themselves. The question of the gift policy caused the most discussion, and it was evident that, for once, the board had not made up its collective mind prior to the meeting. Many times, board meetings take a half hour or less. It's herd for the public to believe that the board can really run a multi-million dollar operation in a half hour a month. There is the nagging fear that board members have either made their decision prior to the public meeting, or they are merely a rubber-stamp for the administration. The public deserves to know the reasoning behind board decisions. The public is entitled to hear the discussion and study which goes into board decisions. We hope that the longer, but more informative meetings are a trend for the board. Education deserves more than a perfunctory unanimous vote on important issues.

HOYT Extension of Energy Conversion Tax Credit Okayed The State House of Representatives has overwhelmingly approved a two-year extension for the income tax credit available to homeowners installing alternative energy conversion devices-such as solar panels and windmills. Business would also be granted a single business tax credit of 25 percent of the cost of installing such devices for the first $25,000, under a second bill approved by the House. The income tax credit to individuals began in 1979 and was scheduled to be phased out, with homeowners getting credits of 20 percent on the first $2,000 cost of the system in 1981,15 percent in 1982 and 10 percent in 1983. Under the recently approved legislation, the credit would be revised to 25 percent on the first $7,000 in 1981 and 1982, then the credit would go to 20 percent in 1983, 15 percent in 1984 and 10 percent in 1985. A move to include woodbuming stoves in the tax credit program was narrowly defeated. ® I ? Seniors Need More Help From Substance Abuse Programs A report from the Governor's Advisory Group on Seniors and Substance Abuse indicates that although substance abuse services are available in 65 of 83 counties, they are not nearly as extensive nor as good as they need to be, especially services to senior citizens. ''Seniors were only slightly more than one percent of the 85,270 clients treated last year (in s ibstance abuse programs) and we know their rate of problems is higher," said chairperson Dorothy Walker. Earlier reports have estimated that 80,000 to 90,000 of the state's 1.3 million senior citizens have serious problems due to alcohol abuse. Another major problem is misuse of medication and the report identified a need for training senior citizen agency staff to better monitor medication. A recent survey found 14 percent of clients were undermedicated, 27 percent were ovei medicated, 21 percent had inappropriate medication and 20 percent had a drug-induced organic brain syndrome. Additionally, only 15 percent of the agencies saw themselves as responsible for monitoring medication. • • • Minors Cannot Form Corporations Persons who are under the age of 18 cannot help incorporate a business nor may they serve on a corporate board of directors. Attorney General Frank Kelly hes ruled. This prohibition applies to both profit and non-profit corporations. Kelley added, however, that the opinion has no bearing on minors holding and owning stock. There is no specific legal prohibition against people under 18 either helping to form a corporation or serving on its board. However, he noted, common law has traditionally prevented minors from serving in a corporate office or forming a corporation. Because the state follows common law unless specifically abrogated by the state, that prohibition must follow, Kelly said. The state has changed common law to grant adult status on people turning 18, instead of at 21, but "it cannot be said that the common law has similarly been abrogated with respect to legal capacity of minors in relation ot the formation and management of profit or non-profit corpo­ rations in Michigan," Kelley concluded. 'The true genius is a mind of large general powers, ac­ cidentally determined to some particular direction." Samuel Johnson To the Editor: Some thoughts regarding your editorial of May 13. Certainly you are carrying out Wilbur Storey’s idea of a newspaperman's duty “to raise hell." Your editorial blasts at nuclear power plarts, military discipline, the County Commission Chairman and me show your devotion to that particular duty. So does your provision of a platform for the mobile home evangelist from Ionia County. But “afflicting the comfortable," that other directive you quoted, is subject to question. There’s nothing at all comfortable about trying to carry out the responsibilities that come with county office, whether elected or appointed. As you told me in the parking-lot conversation to which you referred: “There’s no way you can please everybody." Those who serve with me on the Planning and Zoning commission know that. All we can do is try to properly interpret and carry out the existing ordinance until we can effect orderly and equitable changes. That procedure calls for public hearings like that of April 27th. In my view you haven’t yet fulfilled a newspaper's duty "to print the newr" about that event. Isn't it news that 49 people expressed opinions? That magy people opposed R-Mh because they don’t wish to see a proliferation of mobile homes in their areas of the County? That others consider R-Mh zoning a rational way to utilize those areas suggested for rezoning? That, working with the Prosecutor's Office, we’re still working on an ordinance revision relating to mobile homes, one that will best serve the long-term interests of the people of Barry County? How do we get these previously unreported facts into the Banner? Maybe, to again paraphrase your editorial, this letter is daring enough to “open up the door." Sincerely, Kensinger Jones Chairman, Planning & Zoning Commission Ed. Note: You just put these facts in the Banner in the best possible way. You wrote them down, sent them in, and we printed the letter. We believe persons at public meetings, workshops and hearings deserve the same courtesy. To the Editor: An odd thing happened? Hastings is a community with many churches, and I expect each church has a preacher. When certain undesirable conditions were very visible. Rev. W.L. McGinnis was a pastor willing to stand up and be counted, one out of many local pastors. Perhaps as Mrs. Birta wrote some time ago, the preachers were up so high on their ecclesiastical ladders that they couldn’t see what was going on. Better luck next time preachers, and don’t forget the needs of we poor guys living down here in the low lands. Don’t get excited, nervous or mad, because all of us have blind spots. That is why we need to have God speak to us in the scriptures, as we daily live in the atmosphere of a mad and crazy world. Let us do what we know we should do, and thus prepare a life for now, and forever. Sincerely, Cameron McIntyre. To the Editor: Snyder, the Mayor, and Radant, Chairman cf the Commissioners, can get their crying towels and cry together. Two of a kind. When things don’t go their way. they cry. Snyder can’t even stand up for his own Council members from verbal and written charges by Radant. Radant may be king but he hasn't changed where the sun rises and sets. By the way Dean may want some of that towel before it's over. Call your commissioner and tel) them how you feel about Mass Transit. Quote Commissioner Soya, "Have you talk to anyone that is for it." All the money down the drain for a study and extra meetings for Commission work. I have stated before that if the Commissioners never met we would be money ahead. Let’s vote no May 19th and for a true tax cut. May 20th at 7:00 p.m. at the Courthouse is the final meeting for Mass Transit. Sincerely Donald Johnson To the Editor: Enclosed please find ck. in the amount of $2.20 to cover cost of notice in your paper of 5-13-81. Thank you so much for your help. I got immediate response to the notice. You can’t imagine how pleased. I am. Cordially, Virginia Guyer Liberty Center. Ohio To the Editor: I recently read an advertisement in the Hastings Banner that insulted my intelligence and my sense of fairness. The ad was paid for by the “Citizens For A Tax Cut" and, it identified the Chairman as Ron Roisterer. The ad warned me not to be deceived by “Proposal A". However, when I finished reading this ad, I felt I had been misled by the ad itself! I am not likely to vote for Proposal A” because I do not think I would come out with a tax advantage. I have heard Represent­ ative Don Gilmer talk about the proposal and he thoroughly explained it... both the good and bad points. However, he never said "Proposal A" was disguised as a tax cut so that the people would fall for it. He said the voters should learn all that they could about it and, then decide for themselves whether to vote yes or not. No thanks Mr. Reisterer, I have made up my mind, despite his wild and mislead­ ing statements! Vicki D. Jerkatis Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Power ot Hastings are pleased to announce the engagement of their daughter Pamela Jo, to Russell Jay Katje, eon of Mr. and Mrs. John Katje of Martin. Pamela is a graduate of Hastings High School and is employed at Hastings Pizza Hut. Russell is a graduate of Kalamazoo Christian High School and is employed at Boysen’s Supermarket of Martin. He also attends Parson’s Business School. A September 19, wedding is being planned. Today 1.4 million types of animals and 500,000 different kinds of plants are known to inhabit Earth, the National Geographic Society says. Yet 99 percent of all the kinds of plants and animals that ever lived on the planet are extinct. �THE HASTINGS BANNER, .Monday. May 18,1981, Page 5 BPW Meet Honor* Hughe*, Gray Frontier Days At Northeastern The Hastings Business and Professional Women’s Club met Tuesday May 12, for their monthly dinner meeting at the Moose Lodge. Following a roast beef dinner, the annual organizational meet.ng continued. Chairmen of committees from last year explained the function of the standing committees. BPW standing committees include By-Laws and Procedures; Finance, Foundation, Legislation; Membership, Program. Public Replations; and Young Careerist. Following the brief explanation of the functions of each committee, members volunteered to serve under the respective committees where they felt they could make the most effective contribution. A new committee to chair activities of Boss’s Night, was established. Sharlot Sours, a past president, and outgoing District 7 Director, addressed the members regarding her past two years as District 7 Director. She said it had been an active two years and most rewarding. The club presented her with a pin in presented her with a pin on which had been mounted her membership pin, past president pin, and Director pin, in appreciation of her great contribution to the club. Six guests were introduced. Calinda Munson was a guest of Sue Aumick. Mary Gilbert was a guest of Joan Foster-Ickes. Guest Gwendolyn Burg was introduced by her daughter, dub member Kim Furlong and Mary Pennock’s guest was Liz Haight. Joan Braendle and Judy Sharp were guests of Mary Lou Gray. Three new members were initiated into the dub. They were Judy Hughes, Barry County Prosecuting Attorney, Joan Foster Ickes, Director of the Hastings Chamber of Commerce and Dawna Michael, a former employee of Andrus Insurance Agency, now attending Wright Beauty Academy in Battle Creek. Froutier Daye at North­ eastern School was a big success juging from the fun kids were having Friday. Included in activities was a real live iamb; it seemed mere in danger of being petted to death than ending up in a stew. Students ground corn, made candles, square danced, did laundry in old-fashioned method, and in general had a great time. Daniel Boone, however, seems to be running out of gas. Three new members were initiated into the Halting? Business and Professional Women's Club at the regular monthly meeting Tuesday, May 12. Pictured here are Joan Foster-Ickes. Director of the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce, Judy Hughes, Barry County Prosecuting Attorney and Mary Pennock placed the individual BPW symbols on the large circular BPW symbol as Sharlot Sours read the installation rites. The torch is the symbol of light and truth. The wand indicates the path of opportunity and the scroll is indicative of achievement. The ship of commerce symbolizes opportunity for all of us. And Nike, the glorious expression of forward movement. symbolizes the advancing place of women in the world. Following the initiation, Club President Betty Purgiel recognized new member Judy Hughes for her ability and expertise in prosecuting the recent porno trial and to club member Mary Lou Gray of The Banner for local coverage. The next BPW meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, June 9. Dawna Michael, formerly employed by Andrus Insurance Agency and now attending Wright Beauty Academy in Battle Creek.

NOTICE The Mid Counties Employment and Training Consortium has applied for funds to administer a Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) under Title IV of the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) of 1978. The proposed program will serve 700 economically disadvantaged youth between the ages of 14 and 21 in Barry and Calhoun Counties. The total amount of funding request is $691,420. These funds will provide summer Work Experience, Labor Market Orientation and Career Exploration for eligible youth beginning June 22, 1981. The program is designed to enhance the future career potential of youth through work experience and exposure to various career options. Career Exploration for in-school youth, including an innovative component to serve handicapped youth, will provide exposure to a variety of career modules, designed to develop an awareness of career interest and establish career direction. The emphasis is on developing a career plan to prepare for future training and employment. A creative arts component will be offered under Career Exploration. The creative arts component will develop an awareness of creative arts occupations, as well as actively completing creative arts projects, such as the painting of murals and developing dramatisations of the area's historical events. The Work Experience portion is designed to provide the youth with exposure to the real world of work and to aid them in developing job-related responsibilities and good working habits. It will include a Labor Market Orientation component which will teach job seeking skills, labor market information and techniques for survival in the labor market. A complete copy of the plan will be available for public inspection at the following locations after May 15, 1981: Barry County Clerk's Office, 220 West State Street, Hastings (between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.); and the Calhoun County Clerk's Office, 315 West Green Street Marshall, (between the hours of 3:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m.).

Michelle Blair went the distance for the Saxons, freshman shortstop Tammy Connors hit 2 homers in 3 times at bat and drove in 4 runs. Winning the game set the Saxons for a confrontation with Lakeview in Hastings for pre-district action Friday afternoon. Blair struck-out 5 batters, walked 1 and gave up 13 hits to a powerful opponent. Otsego pitching gave the Saxons fits until mid-game, when a pitching change loosened Hastings hitters, who opened the game up. Saxon coach Judy Anderson said her team, “Peaked at the right time we played well - had good hitting and excellent defense." Deb Bustance collected a triple and 1 RBI, and Teresa Hause had an RBI single. Tuesday the Saxons play a double-header at home, against Jackson NW.

Freshman Tammy Address— Phone_ STOCK CAR RACING FREE Middleville's Trojan varsity softball team lost a 7-0 decision to Wyoming-Lee High School Monday last week, but defeated Hudson­ ville Wednesday, and Hamilton Friday to avenge 2 early season losses. Kim Oosterhouse was pitcher of record in all three games, and, according to coach Bob Welier, "pitched well in all three games." Errors by the Trojan defense cost the team 4 runs in one inning against Lee, "And we couldn’t come back," Weller added. Against Hudsonville, T-K played tough, defeating their opponent 6-1 on three hit pitching by Oosterhouse. She gave up 4 walks and struck-out 2 Hudsonville batters. Leslie Woods collected 2 hits and 2 RBI for the Trojans, team mate Marcia Smith pounded a bases-loaded double for 2 RBI. The Trojans were never in trouble against Hamilton Friday afternoon. Oosterhouse struck-out 4, walked 2 enroute to the victory. Sally Fox had 3 hits for T-K, Ann Bryans had 2 hits, 1 was a double. Smith and Woods both collected doubles against Hamilton. Oosterhouse has pitched every game for Middleville. Team record is 10-3. they’re 8-3 in the OK Blue. T-K plays at home Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons. They meet Springfield Friday in pre-district play. JV Softballers Sweep Twin Bill From Coldwater Julie Dull had a triple and a homer in game one and Laura Hause made a spectacular shoe-string catch in right field behind good pitching of Sheri Blair as Sxxons swept a double­ header from Coldwater.

Saxons won both games, 11-1 and 15-9. � https://barrycountyhistoryportal.org/files/original/19/508/HastingsBanner_1981-05-20.pdf 7ef1fc4cd807eee7dabb3b9433a5f922 PDF Text Text May20, 1981 Riding the KB & E Railroad By LARRY HAMP The 2 year old Kent, Barry & Eaton Co. Railroad (KB and E) ran a special train from Kentwood to Hastings Saturday. Company officers rode along, meeting citizens in Cutlerville. Caledonia, Middleville and Hasitngs. The KB & E provided cider and doughnuts at each stop while children of all ages looked (and climbed) over the equipment. The KB & E serves 3 counties - end of the line is Vermontville. But President and Treasurer of the line, Sam Brook Sr., said plans are afoot to extend the line into Charlotte on existing track. “It would be a tremendous help to us, and should help employment in the area," He said. Brooks said, “Getting the additional 12 miles of track will make the road." He said Charlotte is served by the Grand Trunk Railroad and “Connection with them would open up whole new markets - it would really help us." Brooks, Chairman of the Board Mary Brooks, V.P. Nate Pierce, and KB & E Board member Octavia Lyons were available at every slop to talk railroad­ ing with-local residents. At "Middleville, engineer Bob Janice (Jan ik) a 9 year railroading veteran, gave a blast on his horn and edged his throttle ahead. Maximum speed allowed on the KB & E track is 10 miles per hour. “The track is old and has to be watched carefully for pull-a-parts,” said Conductor-Engineer Paul Richards. He waved to a boy on a bicycle at the Main St. crossing. Shouts from above us drew Richard’s attention. Roofers tarring a warehouse roof shook tar-brushes and laughingly threatened the big diesel engine with a tar-bucket. Janice .gave them a couple of blasts on his air horn as the Tranportation Day Special rolled slowly into the swampy countryside along the Thorn apple River south of Middleville. Janice slowed the engine to a crawl as we crossed a series of small trestle bridges over backwaters of the Thornapple River. Richards watched the track intently. Then the huge machine slowly gained speed. Spring was definitely in the air and Richards opened the front door. A cool breeze swept into the cab as the wheels alternately rumbled and squawked along the rusty iron rails. “How about another glass of cider?” Richards edged out on the catwalk and closed the rear door. Several minutes later he was back almost miraculously balancing 3 cups of cider on the swaying walkway. Then marketing vice-president Nate Pierce came up from the caboose. “I've got to keep my eye on those kids back there,” he said, pointing to 3 or 4 faces peering out front windows in the caboose. “They're still having a good time after 7 hours," Pierce laughed. He said he’d always wanted to ride a caboose when he was a boy," Who didn’t?" All 3 railroaders agreed their work is interesting, challenging and important. “You take a lot of pride in serving the area, creating work, moving products to market and doing a good job," Pierce said. Janice nodded in agreement. Pierce talked about a recent segment on the CBS Television Network’s 60 Minutes program about rebirth of the Chicago and North Western Railroad. “They call it the ‘Cheap and Nothing Wasted Railroad' because it’s employee-owned - they're careful with the equipment," he said. Pierce noted the blackowned KB & E is in the same situation. “We don’t have a lot of capital and railroading is expensive." He said it costs a million dollars to lay a mile of track. "It will take millions to get all our track into first class condition," he said. Because track condition is so poor along the company's line, the short run from Middleville to Hastings takes about an hour. “But at this speed we can't miss any problems on the track besides it’s the maximum speed we're allowed to run by the government,’’ At Middleville Richards said. Four blasts on the horn, 2 longs, a short, then another long, signalled our approach to the Irving Crossing. A man building something in his back yard looked up and waved. Janice gave him a short "toot” and he disappeared behind us. Waiting for the KB & E Railroad in Middleville. Smallest turnout of the trip was in MiddleviDe, though at least a score of local residents toured engine and caboose. Engineer said good crowds met them in Cutlerville, Kentwood and Caledonia. About 20 persona visited the old depot in Hastings to tour the equipment and enjoy eider and doughnuts. “We see a lot of deer on this run," Richards said. "Yeah - they don’t run anymore -when we first started running, they’d fly," he said, laughting. He started on the KB & E, “About a week after they started the run.” He'd worked for the Norfolk and Western Railroad for 7 years, then was laid-off during a period of employee cutbacks. Janice lives in Whitecloud. Richards said he worked for the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad. "I started in 1973 but was laid off for 17 months before the KB & E hired me,” he added. He said he likes Michigan and is happy with his work. Richards is from Grand Rapids. Richards said they've seen every kind of wildlife on the run, including, but not limit­ ed to duck, hawks, Great Horned Owls, deer, fox, rabbits, raccoons, and possum. “And we see every imaginable bird somewhere along the run," Janice added. Four more blasts on the horn as we curved slowly up to the Irving Road Crossing. A motorcyclist looked up through his visor and waved. “See," Pierce said, smiling, “Everybody waves at a train.” Janice tooted his complimentary “toot" and the biker slid out of sight behind the caboose. “One more crossing at the Airport Road, then three miles to Hastings,” Janice said. “Three miles at 10 miles an hour translates into about 20 minutes," Pierce laughed. I got the idea his smile which neyer disappears - could market just about anything. We crossed Airport Rd. and the big trestle over the Thomapple. Down along Heath Rd., then around a curve and we were running beside M-43/M-37. There’s MacDonalds and Burger King and Washington St. First person I saw standing at the old depot was my sweetie. She drove me to Middleville to hook this ride. Then I saw Greg Johnson from the Reminder - we frequent the same ballfields, Blood Drives, parades and other social events. Greg observed I'd have to put him on the front page of the Banner about the same time I told Janice Johnson would have to put me in the Reminder. Fifteen or 20 people were waiting to look over the engine and caboose in Hastings. The scene at the depot reminded me of frequent trips to Grand Rapids by train when I was a boy. Somehow it was different when I was a boy more adverturous, exciting, romantic. But then, they had steam engines in those days. At Hastings DOT Rep Will Be In'Hattingt Plan Public Transport Hearings Two public hearings on a study of transportation needs in Barry, Branch, Calhoun, Kalamazoo and St. Joseph counties have been scheduled for the third week in June, the Michigan Department of Transport­ ation (MDOT) said Tuesday. The study, conducted by MDOT, evaluates current problems and future alternatives for transport­ ation in the five-county region. It covers all modes of transportation, from bicycles to buses. Purpose of the hearings is to give citizens an opportunity to review and comment on the findings of the study before any final recommendations are made. Hearings will start at 7:30 p.m. on the folowing dates and locations: Secret Ballot COA For Transit System The Barry County Commission on Aging Tuesday endorsed the plan to set up a mass transit system for Barry County. The decision to endorse the plan was made on a 6 to 5 vote. Eleven of the 14 members of the COA were present. The vote was taken on a secret ballot, according to Eloise Wolf, executive director of the COA. No roll call was available. Mrs. Wolf said that the majority felt that a mass transit system is the only guarantee available that transportation services to the elderly can be continued. She said that the current transportation system for the elderly and handicapped cannot be operated with the $5,000 per vehicle subsidy offered by the state. Members of the COA are Ethel Barber, Juliet Bourdo, Merle Cooley, Richard Green, Paul Kiel, Maxine Knowlton, Gertrude Matthews, Lottie Matthews, Ben Nagle, Richard Ritter, Robert Shaffer, Richard Sunior, Pat Vaughan and Rae Hoare. Mrs. Bourdo, Mrs. Say ‘No’ to “A” By MARY LOU GRAY A record number of voters turned out Tuesday, May 19, to vote on Governor William Milliken's tax cutting proposal, Proposal A. The proposal lost state wide on a 3-1 margin. Milliken was quoted as saying that his proposal lost due to the complexity of the issue, confusion and mis­ information spread by opponants of the proposal. Locally, Porpo&al A went down to defeat with 46.7% of Barry County’s 26,964 registered voters casting their ballot. The county wide x»tzl is 2,086 yes to 10,501 no votes. This breaks down to 16.6% casting yes votes and 83.4% voting no. By township, the vote in Barry County went like this: Yes No Assyria 67 375 Baltimore 43 414 Barry. Prec. I 86 Barry. Prec.

Kalamazoo Tax Reform advocate Ron Reisterer would run against Jack Welborn. Reis’erer plans to run against Don Gilmer. On the back page we incorrectly said the Saxon Varsity softball squad defeated Otsego in pre­ district qualifying action Saturday. Of course, the baseball team played Otsego (Monday night • and won), the softball team defeated Gull Lake. 7-4. House Fire The Hastings Fire Department responded to a house fire a* 1694 E.

One eight-year-old South­ eastern School girl put it this way: A grandmother is a lady who has no children of her own. She likes other people's little girls. A grandfather is a man grandmother. He goes for walks with the boys and they talk about fishing and tractors and things like that. Grandmothers don't have to do anything but be there. They slow down passing things like pretty leaves or caterpillars. They never say “hurry up." When they read to us they don't skip words or mind if it’s the same story over again and again. Everybody should try to have one, especially if you don’t have a television: because grandparents are the only grownups who have got time.

By HUGH FULLERTON Banner Publisher The old nemesis of good government-public bodies trying to do their business in private-turned up in a new form this week. This time it was the Commission on Aging, usually a body which does not deal in controversial topics. They took up the subject of transportation, this ANNUAL SCHOOL ELECTION week’s hot issue (it probably will be decided by the time you read this) Transportation is, of course, an important subject to the COA, oecause senior citizens make heavy use of the existing system. The subject is a very proper one for the COA. But they went about it in a questionable manner. system. Since three members were absent, that means that less than half of the total COA membership voted to endorse the plan. Unfortunately, we cannot fined out who voted for or against it, because of the illegal secret code. Interestingly, three of the COA members are elected officials-Commissioners Paul Kiel and Richard Sunior and Hastings City Councilman Pat Vaughan. Another, former Commissioner Rae Hoare, used to be an elected official. And the chairman, Richard Ritter, is the director of the Department of Social Services. Certainly all five of these public officials should have realized that the use of a secret ballot was a clumsy effort to circumvent the purpose of the Open Meeting Act, which _ is designed to allow the public to know how their government is run and decisions made. It's too late now to correct the damage. The county commissioners are scheduled to make their final decision on mass transit tonight (May 20).

West Woodland News By VICTOR SISSON Thought for the week “When looking for faults, use a mirror, not a telescope.” We have been informed that an Open House will be held Sunday afternoon. May 24, honoring the 25th Wedding Anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Stadel of Brown Road. Sponsored by their children, the party will be held in the social rooms of the Kilpatrick United Brethren Church on M-66 at Barnum Road. Friends, neighbors and relatives are invited to call at this church between the hours of 2 and 5 p.m. and congratulate Bob and Carol on this milestone in their lives. In these days of easy divorce and the large percentage of people whose marriage does not hold up even that many weeks we feel that a Silver Wedding Anniversary is surely worth the recognition. Bob and Carol say. “No gifts please."

Summertime Perils—The Unprepared Parent Summertime presents enough built-in problems, one need hardly add to the list. Yet, every year parents and grandparents set out on daily or lengthier outings — with children in tow—totally unprepared! The two most common problems one is apt to be confronted with are bore­ dom and dirt or grime. Either of these can be most vexing, especially within the confines of an automobile. How can you prepare yourself to make any trip, short or long, into a plea­ surable experience for every­ one? First, prepare food that is simple. Try to avoid foods that crumble or dis­ solve easily. The ideal solu­ tion is to always carry a box of "Wash ’n Dri,” moist, disposable towelettes in the car, as well as in the picnic hamper. When hands or faces get dirty and soiled, simply use a convenient “Wash ’n Dri,” towelette to remove all traces of food or dirt. Use one for yourself, or the driver, to help feel refreshed and clean anytime of the day. Next, take into consid­ eration the ages of the chil­ dren involved. If they are twelve or under, they need sources of entertainment. Word games involving let­ ters of the alphabet are easy to learn and diverting enough to keep young minds from getting bored. Try playing an old favorite, "Geography.” Simply name a state, coun­ try or continent. The next person has to name a state, country or continent that begins with the last letter of the region you named. It can go on for hours and thinking of ways to impro­ vise on it are not difficult. Also bring along games, or songs that the whole fam­ ily in. It . can .participate . makes the trip more enjoyable and lets you look forward to your destination with anticipation!

Bulk of public comment was against tranatt ayatem at the laat hearing Wednesday evening, but several speakers spoke of necessity for a county transit system. Here, several county board members listen as Ed Porter, state Dept, of Transportation spokesman, explained what he called, “A make-believe system." Board Says’No’ To Transit By LARRY HAMP An air of expectancy filled the old circuit courtroom in Hastings was stilled Wed­ nesday night at what’s been billed as the final hearing and vote on a public transportation system for Barry County. Commissioners voted to reject a proposed 10 bus system in favor of further studying a smaller system. Tone of the meeting was set when county board chairman Ken Radant circulated a statement prior to the meeting. Headed “Opening Remarks By The statement conceded the 10 bus system is a defeated proposal while managing to avoid saying so. Opponents of the system were overjoyed, though one believes commissioners will attempt to move quickly to adopt a smaller plan. Others say they'll oppose even the smaller system in favor of finding more funding for Elderly and Handicapped bussing provided by the Commission On Aging. Radant said an earlier vote against the proposed system by the Local Transportation Coordinating Council (LTCC' and the Loral Advisory Council came before those bodies were aware of financial difficulties besetting COA’s E & H bus program. Mary Lou Gray is member of the Local Advisory Council. She said Radant is wrong, "It was discussed bv the council-retaining the E & H system was, in fact, the 'fifth' alternative," Gray insisted, Friday. indicated commissioners became anxious when they realized a no vote on transportation, “would, in effect, mean no elderly and handicapped transportation at all." It continues, "Realizing this fact the Commission On Aging Board endorsed public transportation yesterday by a narrow margin." Radanl referred to a vote by the COA board (with 3 members absent) last week endorsin' ansit by a a majority of the board. The COA action raised hackles in some quarters since the issue was decided by secret ballot - an act illegal under the Michigan Open Meetings Act, according to the State Attorney General’s office. Several local officials, elected and appointed, sit on the COA board. Radant said discussion with the state Dept, of Transportation (DOT) led to discovery a new, smaller plan could be considered. He added, "I requested that they work up a plan for a smaller system." To that end, DOT spokesman Ed Porter attended Wed­ nesday’s meeting. Porter spoke at length, but said very little. He prefaced his remarks by saying his proposals were, “artificial, make believe proposals. They are not arbitrary and can be altered up or down." He reiterated his plan was purely conjectural throughout the dicussion. Radant said he'd limit speakers for or against transit to 3 minutes each, at least twenty persons spoke to the issue, most in a negative vein. Porter interjected remarks between speakers, as though he were speaking to an audience favoring a transit system. Ruder persons in the audience tried to make his position clearer with personal insults. Porter seemed amazed at the nature of some comments • and why he hadn't been warned about the voter hostility to transit in the county. Even as the meeting Darcy Hooker and Kevin Raber have been selected from among 22 candidates to receive Scholarship Awards from the Hastings Education Associaiton.

The National Taxpayers Union (NTU) praised Congressman Howard Wolpe's House Science and :l.~.oJogy Committee cut of fynds for the Clinch River Breeder Reactor (CRBR) A 375 megawatt demonst­ ration-commercialization reactor it was slated to be built at Oakridge, Tennessee. The 22-18 vote against CRBR by the Committee last Thursday was a major victory for taxpayers, NTU said. “In this period of severe economic crisis it is uncon­ scionable to spend exorbitant sums of money for a project that is of questionable benefit to tax­ payers,” stated George E. Snyder, President of the National Taxpayers Union. “The taxpayers have provided a clear signal that spending must be curtailed." continued Snyder. “In this context, we fail to under­ stand how the uneconomical and Unnecessary Clinch River Breeder Reactor could have survived the budget axe," he added. "For the past several years this issue has been clouded by anti-nuclear versus pro-nuclear arguments. However, this issue has begged for years to be evaluated on the Against State Budget Deferral Want Taxpayer Break Representative Donald Gilmer (R-Augusta), Republican member of the House Appropriations committee, said he will oppose all efforts to use $165 million in the current budget lor any purpose other than tax relief. “We are certain there will be moves by the majority to compromise the $165 million set aside in this budget for tax relief and use it for social service payments or other spending items,” he said. “The defeat of Proposal A in Tuesday's election was not an invitation to spend more state money," GUmer continued. "I believe it was an emphatic message to the Legislature to develop a better tax relief plan. Consequently, I fee) it would be reckless to spend more money when the people of Michigan want government cut back,” he insisted. Gilmer was backed by Representatives Ralph Ostling (R-Roscommon) Fred Dillingham (R-Fowierville) Donald Van Singel (R-Grant) and Bob Welborn (R-Kalamazoo). The five veteran legislators also said they would work against any plan to defer this year's budget problems until next year. The five added they will oppose "any tricks," gimmicks, or hookkeeping maneuvers" that would cause questions about a genuine balanced budget. cost-benefit to taxpayers. Once the economics became the main force of the argument, funding for the project was deleted from the budget,” Snyder said. NTU said, “The case against continued federal funding is stronger than ever. The original estimate in 1969 was $400 million for completion of the project; the current estimate is approximately $3 billion and ground has not yet been broke for the reactor. Although the original costs were to be shared equally between the government and the industries/utilities, it is the taxpayer who is shouldering more than 90% of the cost." “It appears Mr. Wolpe is aware fiscal restraint must apply across the board when it comes time to judge projects of this magnitude and he shares NTU's view that priorities must be considered when decisions are made to spend the finite amount of available tax dollars. Political considerations must be set aside when hard budget decisons must be made,” Snyder concluded. The National Taxpayers Union is the oldest and largest organization in the ration lobbying on behalf of American taxpayers. Control Commission is aware of what one DNR spokesman calls the “dangerous" location of the site near the Thornapple River. Hartian said sites such as the old city dump, and most township and village dumps in Barry County should report if they're generally recognized as potentially hazardous sites. DNR officials list 21 sites in the county as hazardous or suspicisous, including most village and township dumps. Hartian said it's important owners realize the dump needn't be in operation to require owners to report. "The law says 'owners and operators of current or termer sites' and doesn't limit the sites to public sites," he said. Hartian said hazardous waste sites in our area should be reported to the EPA, Region V, Site Notification, Chicago, Ill., 60604. Owners/operators can obtain reporting forms by calling toll free, 1(800424-2723. Adamkus said citizens with information about past or present hazardous waste storage or dumping should contact FPA in Chicago or call for a site notification form. Vote Irks John T. (Terry) Dolan, Chairman of the National Conservative Political Action Committee (NCPAC) has called Senator Don Riegle's vote last Tuesday against President Reagan's budget “a vote for more recession, more unemploy­ ment, and more inflation." “It is absolutely appalling that Senator Riegle and 18 other liberal senators who tried to destroy the President's Economic Recovery Program will not even let Ronald Reagan try something new to stop inflation, recession and unemployment.” Dolan said. “I hope voters of Michigan remember next year how much Senator Riegle worked against the President and the economy just so he could be reelected," Dolan said. Two-Part Series for Farmers Develop a Farm Marketing Plan - Part One Ed. Note: This is port 1 of a 2 part series designed to help farmers improve their market position. Part 2 will be printed next week.] Nut since 1932 have cash flow problems been more severe for farmers than they are now. Developing a good marketing strategy can help producers over these rough times. By developing an .......... tall.ulalea intelligent. calculated marketing plan, the grain producer can improve his -*• --------- -*of a reasonable chances profit, even before he puts the seed in the ground, say agricultural economists with the Michigan Slate Univer­ sity Cooperative Extension Service. The first objective is to develop a plan suitable to the needs and/or ability of producer. The presented here are those a farmer can consider as management tools. Not included are the broad policy issues usually associated with political action in Washington and the work of to influence that action. Some of these marketing alternatives include: Selling the crop al harvest. Contracting some portion of the expected crop for sale before it is planted. Contracting after the crop is planted, booking part of the crop at a time. Selling part of the crop at harvest and storing the remainder for sale the following year. Storing and selling at intervals over the six to eight months following harvest. Hedging the crop through appropriate action in the futures market. Searching for other ways to add value, i.e., converting your feed grains to meat, milk or eggs. The producer can also consider combining some of those options, as long as the final marketing progiam fits into the overall income tax situation and farm plan and meets cash flow needs. To do a good job of marketing, the producer objective, first deciding what crops to produce and how much of each to grow. To anticipate profit is a necessary management objective. But profit is both a long-run and short-run consideration that cannot be determined until all production costs are calculated. Of equal or possible greater importance is the potential for income to meet short-term cash flow commitments. The next- tothe-worst possible situation is being able to cover shortrun commitments so the long-run commitments can be refinanced. The worst situation is being forced to sell out and try to salvage some working capital. These precautions taken, the producer can decide how many acres of beans to grow relative to. corn, for example, and then watch cash contract offerings at grain elevators, as well as futures prices, to know whtn to "lock in” a satisfactory price. In planning a choose to gamble and price the crop when it is delivered, either at harvest or out of storage, or forward price the crop by using cash contracts or hedging in the future market. Cash Market This is simply the centuries-old way in which most of the world’s agricultural producers ordinarily sell. One example for t he sale of feed grains is the local elevator. The cash market has son— advantages: it's simple, the producer gets the current price and no margin money (the amount deposited by a client with his broker as good faith indicator that a legitimate transaction is planned) is required. Cash marketing also has some disadvantages: the producer seldom obtains the highest price, it is a high risk market, and it is difficult to plan production just for the cash market. Relying entirely on the cash market is a speculative action that never lets the roduce is produced, harvested and sold. Even if grains are stored for later sale, the producer is still speculating as long aj his commodities are unpriced. Cash Contracts By examining contract prices offered by many of the same merchants who manage cash markets, producers can know in advance they could make a profit on the expected crop. They know the exact price in advance; no margin money is required; and cash contracting is simpler than hedging in the future market. On th•« r hand, there is reduced flexibility; delivery must be made at the contract price; and the cash contract price can often be below the futures price even when that futures prices are localized to reflect charges to delivery point. Futures Market Like a cash contract, hedging in the futures market allows pricing of the 1 �THE HASTINGS BANNER, Monday.

Officials Expect Good Tourism Season The 78-hour Memorial Day holiday could kick off one of Michigan s best summer tourism seasons ever despite the state's continuing economic problems, according to the Automobile Club of Michigan. “Officials from regiolnal tourist offices, hotel associations, popular .toliday attractions and private campgrounds predict tourism will rise an average 6 percent over last Memorial Day," stated the Auto Club Touring Manager Jospeh Ratke. If good weather holds, the Michigan Department of Transportation predcicts motorists in Michigan should drive 675 million miles over the Memorial Day weekend, nearly 4 percent more thant the 650 million miles driven over the 1980 Memorial Day holiday. The Memorial Day record of 720 million miles driven was established in 1978. The holiday officially runs from 6 p.m. Friday (May 22) to m.idnight Monday (May 25). “Ironically, the same factors plaguing the state's economy are largely responsible for Michigan's bright tourism outlook," Ratke said. "Because of unemployment, inflation and gas prices 11 percent higher than this time last year, holiday vacationers in Michigan and neighboring states are seeking closer-tohome activities. Through April, Auto Club member routing requests for Michigan are up 11 percent compared with this time last year and are approximately 10 percent ahead of the record 1978 pace. Request for Michigan TourBooks - the Club's hotel motel guide-are down 5 percent from 1980, but Michigan camping guide requests are 22 percent ahead of a year ago. Auto Club's 55 offices are served 24 percent more out -of-state AAA members through April than during the same period last year. A spot check of private campgrounds show resenrations are 5 percent ahead of last season. Sales of annual stale park entry permits are up 6 percent despite a $3 price increase. West Michigan Tourist Association officials report campground information requests are the heaviest in recent years and officials predict a 15 percent increase in tourist activity this summer over last and a 10 percent rise over 1978. The East Michigan Tourist Association predicts activity will rise 8 percent this season, matching or slightly bettering the 1978 summer. Southeast Michigan tourist officials expect a 5 percent increase in visitors and spending over last summer, slightly below 1978 levels. Travel inquiries from persons within a day’s drive of the region are up 4 percent compared with last year.

Market Plan Continued from Page 1 crop before delivery, The producer can hedge part of the crop before it is planted, while it is growing or while it is in storage. Prices on the futures market reflect paticipants' views of current fundamental relationships adjusted by such things as psychologial over action. A hedging producer sells an appropriate volume of futures contracts. When the producer wants to sell his commodity--his pricing objectives having been achieved-future contracts are bought back and the grain sold on the local cash market. This completes the transaction called hedging. The advnatages are: the price range is known; fleibility is maximum afforded; and competition establishes the price. Some disadvantages are: hedging requires much understanding, margin money, and difficult decisions; and a hedger must use an intermediary broker to order his sales and purchases in the futures market. Learning to use the futures market can provide high satisfaction for crop marketing. Historically, futures have in almost every crop year offered an acceptable price for commodities at some time during the life of the contract. �THE HASTINGS BANNk ft, Mondjy, M»y 25.1981, P»ge 4 MICHIGAN MIRROR Supreme Court Clears Way For Early Prisoner Release By WARREN M. HOYT Supreme Court Okays Prisoner Release Policy The State Supreme Court has cleared the way for early release of about 1,000 inmates by upholding the constitutionality of the Prison Overcrowding Emergency Powers Act of 1980. The state's highest court rejected the claim of Oakland County Prosecutor L Brooks Patterson that the law infringed on the governor’s authority to commute prison sentences. The law provides for reducing prison sentences by 90 days when the Corrections Commission determines overcrowding exists and the governor signs an emergency declaration. The 90-day sentence reduction would increase the number of prisoners then eligible for parole. Chief Justice Mary Coleman, writing for the majority, said the law is merely used by the Legislature to provide indeterminate sentences. She said it makes no difference whether earlier provisions of indeterminate sentences are retroactively or whether the act simply provides for the release of persons imprisoned under such sentencing. Justice G. Mermen WMiams, the solo dissenter, said the law could not be constitutionally applied to persons in prisons prior to the effective date of the act, January 28, 1BB1. That, he said, would infringe on the governor's powers to commute. He, however, did agree with the majority that the law could be applied to all inmates sentenced after that date. SAVE CASH And don’t miss an issue SUBSCRIBE to the Hastings Banner Your Twice - Weekly Newspaper Patterson, in reaction to the decision, warned citizens to put bars on their windows, because "they're going to be coming out in packs." The governor's office said a declaration of overcrowding would be made as quickly as possible. Peter Ellsworth, the governor's legal w_. counsel, said he is not sure the Corrections Commission needs to officially certify overcrowding, as it has alreody done so twice before. "They’re (state corrections facilitiee) stiH overcrowded," Ellsworth said noting the governor wanted to process the early paroles "very, very quickly." Department of Corrections Director Perry Johnson said the Parole Board would begin to proces parolee for reisrea within two or three days after the governor issues the declaration. While saying they remain steadfast in their support of the governor's exclusive powers to commute, the majority opinion said "The Legislature, too, has a role in establishing the length of sentences, and it has not intruded on the governor's powers with this law." The court noted the Legislature has the power to provide indeterminate sentence and said the law faits under that authority. "TGhe statute is constitutional regardless of whether the release of prisoners under the statute is property characterized as commutation. Whether it is sound policy to vest functional equivalent of the commutation power in the Legislature, acting through the parole board, or whether it is sound policy to remedy prison overcrowding by releasing prisoners are questions which can be revolved only in the political forum." The legal challenge was fifed against the act after the courts ruled the prison fadSties were dangerously overcrowded and steps were necessary to ease the probfems. The act providing for one declared emergency and if that is not sufficient to bring peculation in the right proportions, a second emergency could be declared with another 90 days taken off. sentences to bring the next group up for parole. 52 Weeks - 104 Issues Save 510.80 Compared to The Newstand Price Send or brnq this -nqm to The Hastings Banner, 301 S.

We have read and heard congressmen and editors opinions of the result of passage of Porposal A. We have also read and heard of results if it does not pass. Many of these opinions are conflicting.. Yet they are expressed by reasonably ingelligent people. I'd be willing to bet that nine out of ten people voting on proposal A do not know within $200.00 per year bow their total tax burden will be affected by its passage. No wonder so many people do not vote. Its a tragedy government has gotten so big and complex that those of us who finance it and for whom it is suppos­ ed to work cannot understand it well enough to vote on its issues. No wonder all the tax revolutions. I hope we all have intestinal fortitude enough to revolt to a degree that will financially snub current government down to a size we all can afford and thoroughly understand.

Seems the MDOT in conjunction with the SouthCentra] Michigan Planning Council is conducting hearings to discuss the status of Region 3, Barry, Branch, Calhoun, Kalamazoo and St. Joseph Counties, in regard to their Regional transportation needs. Now we've come to the crux of the matter. The State of Michigan and SouthCentra] Michigan Planning Council have a plan for your complete transportation needs including Non-Motorixed, horse and bicycle. It is beyond my comprehension why the State of Michigan and SMPC should plan, and finance an individual responsibility, such as one's own transportation, with tax dollars. Shades of Socialist Government control The MDOT has thoughtfully provided Public Hearing Brochures that may be picked up free from the Hastings Public Library or the Courthouse. The first scheduled public hearing is Thursday June 4,1981 at the Hastings Fire Department Conference Room. Other meetings are scheduled throughout our area for your convenience. Pick up a brochure, read it, and most important of all, attend a meeting and make your voice and opinions known.

Exclusive 5-year limited warranty A synagogue that survived the Islamic conquest of Palestine has been excavated in »he ancient hill town of Nabratein in Upper Galilee. Dedicated in A.D. 561 on the site of an older Jewish temple. the building attracted worshipers for 150 to 200 years before being destroyed. It s the first firmly documented svriatroinip found in the Holy Land that lasted from the Byzantine into the Islamic era beginning in 640,” said Dr. Eric M. Meyers, archeologist and professor of religion at Duke University. Byzantine and Arabic coins in and aroend the synagogue verify that the building survived well into the eighth centruy. Meyers found the dedication date on a door lintel that once adorned the imposing structure while directing an archeological dig al Nabratein, a village in Israel about three miles northeast of the present-day city of Zefat. Combining both Byzantine and Roman styles, the rectangular synagogue measured 56 feet long and 38 feet wide and was the dominant structure in the modest but prosperous town that once numbered perhaps 1,500 people. According to Jewish tradition, the temple faced If you're thinking about buying a motorcycle to commute to work here are some suggestions to consider from the Motorcycle Safety Foundation: 1. Don't buy a motor­ cycle that is too high. Your feet should be flat on the ground when you straddle the seat. 2. Choose a motorcycle that is light enough for you to push around and park easily. If the motorcycle is on its side, can you pick it up? 3. Consider your experi­ ence level when you buy a motorcycle. Generally, the larger the cycle the more skill and experience you will need to handle it. 4. Decide what type of riding you will be doing. If you plan to commute, a me­ dium-size motorcycle may be just the answer. If you plan highway touring, a larger motorcycle—in the 500cc+ category—may be more suitable. Consider a lightweight motorcycle (250 cc or less) if you are inex­ perienced. Motorcycling can make your trip to work more en­ joyable. But remember, safety is an important in­ gredient in a pleasurable ride. There were other problems—dietary deficiencies leading to a lack of protein and a high degree of inbreeding in the small hill towns. "Apparently even though Jews and Christians were living in the same area they married only their co-rel­ igionists,” Meyers said. "This didn’t help life spans in the small communities." Whatever emptied Nabratein must have been serious. People didn’t return for about 150 years. The coins unearthed from this second major period of occupation proved another surprise. Byzantine and Arabic-Byzantine coins predominated. Only a single coin from the city of Tyre was found, although Tyrian coins were in wide circulation, so much that the Mediterranean port city dominated trading patterns in the city of Meron . only six miles away. “In sharp contrast, Nabratein seems to be oriented eastward toward Syria rather than toward the Tyrian coast. This presents a striking new picture in this part of Galilee," concluded Meyers. The picture at Nabratein has been further complicated by the discovery of pottery indicating that the site was occupied from the Early Bronze Age (2350 B.0.) to Persian and Greek times. “No floors and walls have yet been found to go with these remains, but we hope further excavations will eventually clarify the early history of the site," the archeologist said. Excavations at Nabratein, an ancient town in Upper Galilee, verified a synagagve that survived the seventh Palestine. Directed by Dr. Eric M. Meyers at Dake University, the dig also effects from Roman and Byzantine times and coins that spanned 1350 years.

ByEncM Mry»ri “Put America To Work” President Reagan’s program “will reduce the burden of government regulationon the construction industry,” Secretary of Labor Raymond J.

"It’s not government's job to protect us from ourselves,” Donovan told the construction industry representatives. “The plain truth is government intervention is a sorry substitute for individual initiative." “Unwarranted interference by government prevents us from using the expertise we have to solve our problems," the Labor Secretary added.

Meyer’s work at Nabratein is supported by the National Geographic Society. Duke University, and the American Schools of Oriental Research. In the last few years, excavations at various sites in Upper Galilee have suggested that Jews in this mountainous, somewhat isolated region enjoyed a longer period of well-being than their counterparts in the more accessible south. Nabratein may have even supported a thriving Jewish folk art tradition in the sixth century. A large piece of black ceramic found in a Byzantine house dating from that time contains a drawing of the holy ark, descendant from the ark of the covenant of biblical limes. A hanging lamp suspended in front of it »i similar to the “eternal'light” of contemporary Jewish iconography and the vigil light used by some Christian faiths. “The drawing is astonish­ ing," said Meyers, "because the only previous renderings of the ark in the Holy Land appeared on formal floor mosaics and the like-never on household articles."

Highlight of their European trip was to witness the Pontiffs address to the crowd. The vehicle carrying Pope John Paul II had circled St. Peter’s Square once and the local travelers were only 8-10 feet from him. One woman in the tour group shook his hand and the Pontiff spoke her. The jeep currying the Pope pulled away and started to circle the square again. Many in the crowd were standing on benches to get a better view of the Pope. lo Pope John Paul had just raced down the sidewalks, returned a small child he as tourists hugged the build­ held to it's mother.

Banner Roman Feldpauschl We think you're the best! a.m. Property owners who feel they have been discriminated against by federal, state, or local government zoning or land use controls are being urged to attend the rally. Whitelock said, “Govern­ ment land grabbing and far too restrictive zoning ordinances have robbed private property owners and taxpayers. The situation is critical and is fermenting a feeling of revolt among thousands of property owners all over the state." “We've got evidence to prove some outright atrocities prepetrated by government zoning officials. Many of these people are appointees, and amateurs, who, once appointed the powers of office, take a holider than thou or tyrannical attitude with property owners in their jurisdictions," he continued. Whitelock added, “we've been hearing an awful lot about over-taxation recent­ ly. Our property taxes, business taxes, and others have certainly been a burden. What people have not heard much about are the hundreds of additional dollars each individual must pay for either state or local government permits. Permits for building, restoration .alteration, excavating, health department, occupancy etc. Each of these permits will vary greatly in cost in different parts of the state, and some of them are either way out of line, or totally absurd.” Recipients of a February supreme court ruling on mobile homes, Donald and Merle Knoll of Jenison, Mich, will be joining the OTLAM demonstration in Lansing. The Knoll's received an affirmative decision from the Supreme Court in the case of Robinson Tobnship (Ottawa County) vs. Knoll, which stated, “the per se exclusion of mobile homes from all areas not designated as mobile home parks has no reasonable basis under the police power, and is therefore unconstitutional." Whitelock said, “This case was a clear indication of a local zoning ordinance which violated the constitutional rights of a property owner. When the Knoll's placed their new mobile home on 80 acres of property in Robinson Township, the township sued and took them to court, saying that their home was a nuisance." “What a zoning ordinance like this is really saying, is the property owner does not have the opportunity to select the kind of home he or she desires to live in, and that they must bow to the dictates or the whims of the local zoning officials. This was just one such case, there are thousands of others all over the state,** he commented.

I’ve pulled up to that intersection many hundreds of times tmd not once have I failed to reflect on the idiocy of traffic arrangements at the crossing. If justice were done, victims of accidents at the intersection should never be given a ticket, never have to pay a cent to repair autos, never see a hospital or ambulance bill and receive the utmost in claims for damages against designers of the traffic flow system, the city and the state. The intersection of Green Street and Hanover, like the whole design for traffic movement through town on M-37, is an abomination. But traffic arrangments at Hanover and Green are an abortion. The traffic engineer responsible should be sacked, or sent back to school. I have no doubt grade-schoolers could devise a better plan. Routing of M-43 up N. Broadway, and layout of the hill beyond Tyden Park, has, with natural increase in traffic from outlying districts, created a death trap at N. Broadway and W. State Rd. Despite many deaths and almost countless accidents, the obvious need for a traffic light at the site has been ignored. Neither of these intersections need be dangerous as it is. It doesn’t take much in the brain department to understand a traffic light requiring full stops 8t both intersections would markedly reduce the accident rate in Hastings. HUGH’S MUSE Getting Up with the Birds Worth the Effort By HUGH FULLERTON Banner Publisher The annual bird walk in the Sweeze/s Pond preserve drew the largest crowd ever on Saturday morning, as about 20 folks arose and met at 7 a.m. The walk was ably led by Jennie Osgood, a naturalist with the Kellogg Bird Sanctuary near Hickory Corners. Mrs. Osgood is very skilled at identifying birds by sight and sound, and filled in the crowd with a lot of interesting facts about the birds encountered. The day was a perfect one for birding. Despite the "lateness" of the hour, by bird standards, the birds were very active, as the sky was overcast. They tend to take cover earlier when it's dear. The crowd moved along the paths of the city-owned preserve, many of them with field glasses handy for getting close-up. No rare species were encountered, but there were some interesting ones. There were 3 lot of indigo buntings, spectacular in the males' bright blue plumage. Some interesting warblers and flycatchers were seen and heard. Mrs. Osgood recognized a pair of wood ducks, whizzing by a couple hundred yards away. It was evident that most of the party were confirmed birdwatchers already, who came to share some of Mrs. Osgood's expertise. But a few were on their first such outing, and we suspect they got the birding "bug." The dogwood has been at its peak in area forests in the past week or so. It's appearance is spotty. You may come across and area which has a lot, and go for miles without seeing any more. Most of the year, the dogwood is an unobtrusive tree, as it is much smaller than its forest neighbors-hardly more than a shrub. But in the spring, with its spectacular white blossoms, it stands out among the new green leaves of the nearby trees. We saw a lady bike riding the other day who loves it enough she took the whole family. On her back was a baby, perhaps 6-8 months old. On the child's seat behind her was a small boy, perhaps three years old. And riding a small bike behind her was yet another child, of 6 or 7. And one of the more amusing events we observed recently was the diet dub having a public sale of baked goods and other yummies. Who's that happy-looking gentlemen who seems to have little to do this summer? Why it's Bob Kingl Can't remember seeing him in the summer before, except at the Y-camp. For 30-odd years. Bob spent his summers at Camp and directing the local recreation program. Summer was his busy time, and you rarely saw him around town in warm weather. Now, all of a sudden, he's everywhere. He has time to drop in the Banner office and chat; he goes on early morning bird walks; he even has time for gardening, he tells us. Something he has not done before. Seems to be enjoying it, too.

Religious philosophy is a fundamental part of the curriculum-but by no means the only part. In the school's library are books as diverse as the papers of Abraham Lincoln and the memoirs of Nikita Khrushchev. The lamas who emerge from that school will be very different from those who memorized ancient religious treatises-and may well need their broader education to grapple with the forces of change in Ladakh. �THE HASTINGS BANNER, W ednesday.

The Michigan Audubon Society and the Wildlife Recovery Assodaiton want to discourage people from causing unnecessary harm to helpless wild animals by trying to keep them in their homes. When people take in a wild animal, they are likely condemning it to a life of misery or an early death. Hastings Area ALGONQUIN LAKE BIBLE CHURCH. 2625 Airport Rd. David Thompson Palor.

He asures us, “the cute, cuddly ball of fur or down soon grows up to be exactly what it was intended by Mother Nature to be-a'wfld animal." The animals will grow up to be mean; they can’t be trained to stay out of things, and they can't be housebroken. The Humane Society of the United States warns that even though the wild animal may be a tolerable pet while it is a baby, as soon as it grows up it will become a problem for its owner. When the adult animals are released in the woods, they can't survive because they have never learned to get along in the wild. Often, raccoons will become “rogues'' if they have been raised by people, they will be a neighborhood pest. The tragedy is that the parents of the assumed orphan was probably off hunting or just hiding nearby waiting for the people to leave. It is very difficult to raise baby animals without expert advice and a lot of dedication. Birds are especially taxing because each species has a different diet requirement. Bob Whiting, Michigan Audubon Society Field Representative, tells of a loon, a bird on the threatened list in Michigan, which starved to death because the man trying to save it was offering it grain instead of its natural diet of fish. Whiting maintains it is possible to raise baby birds, but only if you are able to search for and obtain the birds' natural food and then effer that food every 20 minutes from dawn to dusk! After that comes the 12-hour -a-day job of teaching what every adolescent animal must know to survive, including how to find its own food. If you do find an animal you think needs help, first cal) a local Wildlife Recovery group, nature center, or Audubon group for advice. These will be listed under “Environmental” in the Yellow Pages. Then, go back to the place where you found the animal, and if it is still there, follow the advice given over the phone. Chances are the animal will have disappeared. Only if an animal is in very dire straits is it advisable to pick it up-and then very care­ fully! Squaw Brook DRAIN Notire of lx tting of Drain Contract and Review o’ Apportkrnieefll*.

Dept. Child Care Center Closes Doors By LARRY HAMP Hastings Child Care Cen­ ter, Inc., (HCCC) located on S. Hanover St., in Hastings closed its doors Friday after a potential buyer decided she didn't want to purchase the operation. HCCC Board President Harold Lewis told the Banner. “We’re really disappointed because it’s been an excel­ lent program for pre-school­ ers.” Lewis continued, “The program is terribly expen­ sive and we lost a lot of funding recently." The center lost funding from the Michigan Depart­ ment ‘of Social Services (DSS), CETA, then, most recently, from the state de­ partment of education. “It's very difficult to look into the future right now," Lewis commented. Pat Foote, who founded the center with her husband David, told the Banner loss of the Child Care Center, “Will be felt by the commu­ nity in many ways." Foote predicted other, similar social services in Barry County are likely to “go under" in the future. “It's just not a good time for human services," she added. Foote said she believes the center could be saved, “If the community wants it badly enough." She added, "I had fun with it and enjoyed it - David and I knew we were doing some­ thing worthwhile.’’ Foote is now on active duty with the Navy; his wife will join him shortly. License for the center is still valid, according to Foote. She said a local resident considered purchas­ ing the operation, but decid­ ed against the move. Proposed purchaser was Lee Miller.

Drive-In Theatre Open For Business Construction men were busy building a portable movie acreen atop a semi-trailer at the Hastings Drive-In Theatre Thursday'. An advertisment claiming the theater is open for business “Friday, Saturday and Sunday only,” appeared in the entertainment pages of Friday’s Grand Rapids The question of perma­ nent reconstruction of the screen is in limbo. On May 5, the Barry County Zoning Board of Appeals denied a variance to MIC, Limited to reconstruct the outdoor movie screen. The 5-1 vote was made subject to non­ conformance of three condi­ tions of the zoning ordi­ nance. After the decision, MIC, Limited’s attorney, Michael Y. Sandborn of Lansing filed suit in Circuit Court against the Barry County Zoning Board of Appeals, individu­ ally and collectively as the board. The suit asks for a Writ of Mandamus and $26,000.00 plus all costs and reasonable attorney fees. The appeal will be heard Friday, June 5, at 1:30 p.m. in Circuit Court. However, before the appeal could be heard, construction was evi­ dent at the theater. Calls were received by the State Police, Sheriff’s De­ partment, Planning/Zoning office and the Prosecutor’s office concerning construc­ tion activity at the site. Thursday, afternoon, May 28, a letter was delivered to workers at the theater by David Koons, County Build­ ing official, accompanied by a member of the Sheriff's Department. The letter stipulated the structure being erected re­ quires a build «md zoning permit. Up an receipt of the letter, one day is allowed for a representative of the the­ ater to contact the building official and show good cause as to why a building permit had not been obtained.

Wolpe Announces Conference Third district Congressman Howard Wolpe announced a Business Development Conference for 3rd district residents will be held Wednesday, June 3, in Battle Creek. Wolpe said the intent of the conference is to, “bring together local, state, and national business and finance experts in an effort to begin developing practical strategies for solving the problems which confront busin ess-particularly businesses operating in our economically depressed state of Michigan." Wolpe said a series of eight panels have been organized where participants can focus upon such diverse issues as exporting opportunities for business, business financing options inthe private and public sectors, agricultural financing possibilities, community development activities, minority and women’s business interests, decision-making strategies in tight economic times, and cutting the costs of energy for business. Republican Congresswoman Claudine Schneider (Rhode Island) is slated to present the keynot address to conference attendees. Schneider, the 1978 Rhode Island Woman of the Year, sits with Wolpe on the House Science and Technology Committee and joins him as co-chair of the Northeast-Midwest Coalation’s Task Force on Energy Taxation. “Congresswoman Schneider has become a leader in the fight for a sound energy policy based upon finding the least expensive mechanisms for reducing our dependence upon imported oil,” Wolpe said. He added, “Ms. Schneider has distinguished herself as an effective advocate for the economirevitalization of our region and an articulate spokes­ woman for placing greater attention on the troubled Northeast-Midwest." The conference will be held at Kellogg Community College, 450 North Avenue, Battle Creek. The $12.50 per person fee will cover conference expenses and lunch. Registration begins at 8:00 a.m., with opening remarks from Congressman Wolpe and the keynote address from Congress­ woman Schneider to commence at 9:15 a.m. The day-lung event should conclude by 3:30 p.m. For further information and reservations, interested persons are encouraged to contact either of Congress­ man Wolpe’s congressional offices (Kalamazoo: 616 385-0039; Battle Creek; 616 962-6511, ext. 6212; Toll Free: 1-800-632-7806).

Commencement speaker was Doug Hart, a longtime teacher in the adult ed program. Hart, noting that he had taught 27 of the 55 graduates, thanked the graduates for “memories I will cherish." “I have watch­ ed you grow, and that has made all the difference," Hart said. Five graduates received scholarships to Kellogg Community College, which were presented by Frances Johnson,,special service counselor at KCC. #The scholarship winners were William Carr, Rosa Cochran, Kathy Dailey, Debbie Diver and James McMellen. A new custom was introduced in the ceremony. Each graduate carried a long-stemmed red rose entering the gymnasium. During the graduation, each one went and presented the flower to the person he or she felt had helped them most in their path to graduatioin. Many gave them to their spouses, some to fellow students, and several to teachers. Teachers receiving the roses were Doug Hart, Sandy Pattok and Sam Marfia. Six alternative education students were also recognized for their achievements. They were Robbin Strotheide, who also recieved an adult ed diploma. Darrell Rose, Quinn McMullin, Jim Richer, Jeff Coolidge and Suzy Holley.

Mrs. Cochran recalled how her mother had died when she was 13, and as oldest child, she had to drop out of school to take care of the home so the other children in the family could finish school. “After 54 years away from school, it’s hard to return,” she said. Several teachers were praised by graduates, especially Doug Hart and his wife, Liz. As one graduate, Brneda Steidle commented, without the help of the Harts, “half of us would not be here tonight."

HOYT Government Leaders Seeking Message From Tax Proposal pofeat After voters Rejected 3-1 the latest property tax proposal, legislative leaders and Governor William G. Milliken agreed the issue has not been settled by the vote and the Legislature, on its own, must devise a new tax plan. Milliken, who saw his proposal defeated in all 83 Michigan counties, said he would abide by the decision of the voters. He added he is looking at about 10 ways to cut property taxes, without providing any replacement revenues. The most common assessment of why voters turned down the proposal was a distrust of government leaders. Speaker Bobby Crim (D-Davison) said the level of distrust threatens the success of* efforts to revitalize the economy. Opponents, meanwhile elated over the defeat of the proposal, said the action reflected on the credibility of Lansing leaders. The message of the voter rejection of the property tax cut/sales tax increase amendment by a stunning 563,050 to 1,447,318 vote was discussed in meetings around the Capitol as leaders performed a postmortem on the proposal. Tax cutter Robert Tisch, whose stock soared as a result of the defeat of the proposal, now wants the Legislature to implement by July 1 the tax cut portion of the proposal-a 50 percent cut on property taxes for operating purposes and a 50 percent credit for city income taxes. He is demanding the Legislature carry out this proposal without nearly $800 million in replacement revenues the 37.5 percent increase in sales and use taxes would have provided. Among the other proposals advanced was one by Senator John Welborn (R-Kalamazoo) to cut property taxes by 10 percent, GRS Funds 8.000.00 By DORIS J. RICHARDSON County Ext.

Representative William Ryan (D-Detroit), chairman of the House Taxation Committee also agreed the Legislature needs to act. "t do think there's something wrong with the property tax. It needs evening out," he said. Ryan, however, did not endorse a specific plan. Even though he said voters might be indicating the tax structure ought to stay the way it is, the governor said he still thinks property taxes are at a level that "makes it difficult for people to survive." "The regrettable thing about the vote is that the issue will continue to occupy our time when we should be addressing our economic problems," Milliken said. But Milliken, noting the voters rejection of a string of eight tax plans, said Tisch should not be encouraged. He said a new ballet proposal would also have a difficult time and suggested such complex issues may never be approved by the people.

Milliken,*who said he does not rule out anything, said, "I would have to review everything before I would support more cuts than the $250 million in Proposal A. One avenue he said does not seem open is an increase in the income tax rate to pay for property tax relief as he expressed a belief the Legislature would not approve that tax hike. Crim said the Legislature could work on statutorily provided tax relief, but he did not offer a firm commitment to that approach. 4-H NEWS BUDGET HEARING ON GENERAL REVENUE SHARING The City of Hastings will hold a public hearing at 8:00 p.m. on Monday, June 8,1981 in the City Council Chambers, City Hall, 102 S.

Do you know what you can't do: A. filling or grading of land. B. removal of sand, soil and top soil. C. keep an unlicensed vehicle in your yard. D. repair your vehicle in your driveway. E. tear down a building that is beyond repair. F. store building materials. Did you know that if you have any old farm machinery in your yard you must screen it from the public? But, in order to do that you must have a permit. No matter if it be a fence or a building. What kind of land do we live in? If this is "Free”, God only help me as I don't want to be free. Most of the people who read this will tell themsel­ ves, 4they can’t stop me." Well, surprise, surprise, your number may be next. Keep to yourselves, don't talk to your neighbors, and most of all don’t breath. Tomorrow there will be an ordinance to make you do this too. Sincerely Floyd L. Miller should be aware from your attendance at the initial meeting. Your accusation that the committee copped - out, failed to carry out its mandate and was damned to failure from the start is a slap in the face of everyone who bothered to take the time to participate. As Kensinger Jones recently pointed out, you are badly confused as to who is “comfortable" and in need of "affliction." and who is uncomfortable. It is my observation that the uncomfortable are those who have assumed positions of responsibility, leadership and involvement. On the other hand, it appears that the comfortable are those who are immune from accountability (editor? included) who can sit back and take pot-shots from a distance without bothering to put aside their biases long enough to become informed. Yours truly, Gordon Worth To The Editor: In his May 20 Voice of the People letter Lloyd W. S’eeby stated he was glad our forefathers did not think like me. Does he realize they did not have the problems we face today? Our forefathers had > a limited supply of guns and military power. Today we have a limitless supply of ail kinds of weapons, including hand­ guns. These handguns are not being used to defend our country but to kill some 22,000 people every year. The statistics show that criminals are LESS responsible for these deaths than are accidental shootings, suicides and “crimes of passion." Are we to keep our gun cabinets well stocked for all of our allies? We wouldn’t have enough room. I say we first have an obligation to protect our citizens. As far as my chances for getting killed go - if I had to choose between being in a car accident or getting shot in the head. I'd choose the former over the latter any day. Finally, Mr. Steeby, would be wise to keep his guns locked up. His children may be well trained int the use of a gun, but there are plenty that aren’t. Try explaining to a two year old that guns don’t kill, people do. For that matter explain it to the twelve year old that just shot her 18 month old sister to death. Sincerely, Ms. D. Robinson To the Editor: Your accusations against the millage advisory committee are unfair and demonstrate a lack of awareness of the full context of the report and cover letter submitted by chairman Vanderveen. The committee did rightly assess the public temperament, but concluded that a millage issue is in order, in spile of it's chances for not passing. Several of the more salient observations on this subject made by committee members are: 1. The need for at least partial restoration of funds is real, and it is the Board of Education's responsibility to reaffirm this need to the public. 2. In spite ot the current economic plight of the community, the citizens have a right to decide what the communities priorities will be. 3. In addition, the opinion was expressed that since the schools belong to the community, it is the community’s responsibility to decide their fate. The weight cf the above arguments and many more that were not entered into the record, was enough to elicit an overwhelming agreement that a millage To the Editor: issue is in order.

Evaluation Ranks Area EMS Services Third The Federal government has developed a computeriz­ ed evaluation mechanism for regional emergency medical services systems, called REMMIS (Regional Emer­ gency Medical Management Information System). The purpose of this tool is to evaluate the impact of Fed­ eral grant programs on EMS system development and patient outcome. Areas with Federal EMS grants were required to complete the 69-page REM­ MIS document with statisti­ cal data from 1978 and 1979. Nationally Begion wide data was requir­ ed on personnel, taining, communications, emergency vehicles, hospitals, and seven critical care areas. This document was prepar­ ed by SWM Systems, the regional EMS implementa­ tion agency. The data submitted was analyzed for accuracy, relia­ bility, consistency, systems development relative to grant level, and systems performance. Based on this assessment, Southwest Michigan was ranked the highest of any region in Michigan, highes in Federal Region V (out of 20 funded regions), and third highest in the nation. SWM’s overall two-year score was 96 percent, with component score of 94 per­ cent on personnel and train­ ing, 91 percent on facilities and transfers, 98 percent on trauma care, and 99 percent on burn care. SWM System’s Executive Director, Jan Foster Pul­ ford, feels this recognition will help the agency in its bid for an additional year of grant funding.

Series For Fanners Developing A Farm’s Cash Market Cash marketing is the producer taking the crop and exchanging it for dollars, either after harvest or after a storage period. In either case, the crop is priced at delivery. The county elevator is the first tier in the entire grain marketing structure. At this local level, grain purchased from producers is sold by consignment to a central market or shipped directly to a terminal market or processor, explain Michigan State University Cooperative Extension Service agricultural economists. In setting prices to farmers, elevator managers must consider the costs of handling and delivering grain to buyers, and the actions of their competitors. Differences in costs and efficiency give some elevators an advantage, bu’. because most grain handlers have diversified businesses, they often don’t know exactly what it costs them to handle commodities. As a result, most handlers offer growers essentially the same price offered by their local competitors, based mainly on the Chicago futures price, minus handl­ ing and transportation charges. Be sure to check around before selling. If you are within a reasonable distance of a processor, a terminal market or an export market, consider selling direct. in many cases, the further you can get up the handling line, the higher the prices you can get for the crops. But remember to figure the extra transport costs that may apply. Selling on the cash market through your own storage facilities can also help bring higher prices. Using on-farm storage has several advantages. including evasion of harvest gluts, which are characterized by low prices. It also gives flexibility in marketing (selling later at higher prices) and flexibility in lax planning (you can shift income from one year to the next). Disadvantages of on-farm storage included heavy initial capital outlay and extra management and labor. Also, the producer as­ sumes responsibility for the quality of stored grains. Storing off the farm in commercial facilities can eliminate some of the disadvantages of on-farm storage, including the in capital investment storage equipment and extra management. And it shifts the risk of grain deterioration to the elevator operator. at the specified price. Usually, the producer doesn’t receive the highest price for the crop. in the futures market, there are three basic steps to follow: The elevator contracting with the producer provides a service and assumes some degree of market risk, so the producer is usually offered a price under that of a futures market hedge offset at the same time. -Determine a target or asking price. This is estimate of all production costs, including variable and fixed expenses. Variables are such things as land rent, hired labor, taxes, seed, fertilizer, equipment operating costs, etc. Fixed expenses are those that would be incurred even if a crop were not planted. For example, a tractor will depreciate whether it is used oV not. This practice also allows establishment of a price for grain before delivery. The producer cannot establish an exact price, as with a cash contract, but can establish a price within a very narrow range. In most cases, however, commerical storage is more expensive, and it may not be available when you need it. You lose some of your farming flexibility if you store off the farm rather than in your own bins. Even without a pricing commitment, a look at futures prices allows evaluation of the profit potential before the crop is ready to sell and so could permit the establishment of an acceptable profit. Producers can be fairly certain grain prices will be lowest al harvest, so it’s a good bet they’ll rarely obtain a maximum return on investment by directly from the combine. An alternative is to lecm to forward price, or presell, the crop before it is ready for delivery. Used skillfully, forward pricing is a highly flexible money management tool. It can give the producer control over the marketing of the crop and subsequently ncrease profit, according to Michigan State University Cooperative Extension The futures market also offers the producer maximum market flexibility. Because the producer can offset the contract at any time, he doesn't actually have to deliver the grain as specified in the contract. He simply buys back the futures contract on the day he sells grain in the local market and applies the profit or loss received on the futures transaction to the price received locally. economists. Forward pricing may be done by cash contracting or hedging in the futures market. Cash contracting usually means contracting or “book­ ing” the grain with the local elevator. Advantages are: having a price established before delivery of the crop; having the exact price known before sale; and having a definite delivery point specified. But the producer gives up some flexibility at market­ ing time. He loses some options because the grain must be delivered exactly as specified in the contract and Most who hedge in the futures market do offset their contracts and sell their previously hedged commodities on their loca.’ cash market. some There disadvantages to hedging. It requires a high degree of knowledge about ,.jW the market operates. Most contracts also involve large amounts of grain -5.000 bushels per contract on most grain exchanges-though the Mid-America Exchange offers 1,000 bushel contracts for corn and soybeans. Also, futures trading requires the producer to guarantee the transaction with margin money. Whether the producer choosesto forward price by cash contracting or hedging After production costs have been estimated, add some return to management. A rule of thumb might be 10 percent above all costs for return to management. Never hedge if the localized price does not cover variable costs, because this would be locking in a loss. -Localize the futures price. This will determine the net price received for the grain. Futures prices quoted for grain are the prices for crops delivered to Chicago within a given month. The producer must adjust those prices accord­ ing to his location, anticipat­ ed time of delivery, product quality and cost of hedging. This is called “adjusting for ‘.he basis.” To complete a successful hedge, the producer must know how to accurately figure the basis, which is the difference be­ tween the futures price and the actual cash price on the local market at the time the hedge is completed. -Make the hedging decision. Once the target or asking price has been determined and the local price is known or estimated, the only decision left is whether to accept a price being offered or available. This must be based on production costs, desired profit, the overall marketing objective and careful market study. "In doubt if an action be just, abstain."

Saxon hitting was excel­ lent, it just didn't come when it was really needed. Jody Moore got a single in addition to her 2 threebaggers, Sheri Blair had a triple, Amy Stack collected a single. 2 RBI and a stolen The Saxon girls left 11 runners stranded on base in the loss and that was enough to do them in. Catcher Jody Moore had lead-off triples twice and team mates failed to get her home. “It was just that kind of day," said coach Judy Anderson. “They Played Well Enough To Win” - Oom Michelle Blair started on the mound for Hastings. She went 2V> innings giving up 3 hits, 3 runs, 5 walks and striking-out 1 batter. Sheri Blair came on in relief, pitched well, (new hope for next year) allowing no hits, no runs, 2 walks and 2 strike-outs.

(Save Old Spectacles). The major emphasis theme of Kiwanis this year is “Take Time To Care." The purpose of thjy project is to bring sight to thousands of needy people around the world. The international goal is 1 million pairs this year. Michigan's goal is 50,000 pairs. The pair of eyeglasses that we take for granted in this country 'is a very precious item in many parts of the world, and for all too many persons, as item completely out of their reach. The Direct Relief Foundation, a charitable organization formed in 1948, based in California, donates contributed medical supplies to needy locations world wide. Eyeglasses are only one donated item. It is D.RJF.'s goal to see that no usuable pair of eyeglasses be discarded. The demand is far greater than the supply. Requests for eyeglasses come from all oyer the world. The largest single request came from Nicaragua - for 176,000 pairs. Before being shipped aboard by D.R.F., all eye­ glasses are checked, “coded," and labeled so that they can be property fitted at the receiving end. This service is performed by volunteers from the Paraoptometric Section of the California Optometric Association and others. The benefits derived from the gift of a pair of properly fitted "recyded" eyeglasses are far reaching. A child rnay be able to study - to learn to read for the first time. An adult may find work that was not previously feasible for him, or an older woman may be able to thread her needle again and find renewed pleasure and independence in the sewing that was once her livelihood.

Varsity Loses In Districts In the District semi-finals the Hastings varsity base­ ball team played well enough to win but dropped a heartbreaker to Gull Lake 4-2. In the finals Gull Lake lost to Allegan 6-2, who had previously knocked off Lake­ wood 2-0. Hastings outhit the Blue Devils 8-6 but left 8 runners stranded to 2 for the win­ ners. Hastings hit well but could not get the clutch hit to bring in our runners. “I am proud of the team. Except for 2 costly errors we played very well defensively,’’ said Coach Bernie Oom. The Saxons opened up the scoring quickly when John Karpinski doubled, stole third and came home on the catchers throwing error. Gull Lake tied it in the 3rd inning-on the first error with nobody out. Shortly later a double brought in the run. pie Blue Devils went ahead in the 4th on a double by Tom Harding and single by Chuck Freeland. The Saxons tied it up when John Karpinski singled, stole second base, went to third on Chris Forman’s single and scored on a wild pitch.

Those revenues dropped 1 percent between 1979 and 1980, but are declining at a faster rate now. Russell said Barry County Commissioners in the past allocated $100 thousand which was matched by a similar sum from the county's township annually. “This year they cut us right out of the budget- that means another $200 thousand we won’t have," Russell said. Russell said he's trying to maintain nearly 1200 miles of county road with 81 employees and steadily declining revenue. “Three years .ago we had 62 employees with the CETA help," he said. “Several cure nt employees could be in danger of losing jobs if conditions continue as they are," Rusell added. The number of registered autos in Barry County more than tripled between 1970 and 1980. Russell said most Barry County asphalt roads are “seal-coaled” and should be re-sealed every 4 to 6 years. “We have some roads in the county that haven’t been re-sealed in 14 years," he said. * Russell likened the sealed roads to roofs. “Once they start leaking, you’ve got to fix them fast or they’re beyond savingBarry County stands to lose completely a considerable investment if funds aren't available for re-sealing and other maintenance.” he said. Russell Tavors a proposal put forward by the TRIP organization - a “dedicated percentage lax” which would increase state revenues as gasoline prices increase. Ten states have initiated such taxes either partially or completely. TRIP reports success with the measure and recommends it. Meanwhile, rural residents should keep their eyes peeled on outlying, roads. Russell said the commission, “Will do the best job we can with what we have." Michigan Fuel Tax revenue is declinit j at about 10 percent per year. As Red Cross Blood Drive The Barry County Red Cross held another success­ ful blood drive at Pennock Hospital on May 29th. 72 Pints of blood were donated. Linda Garrison and Barb Buehler, both of Freeport received 1 gallon pins. Donald Haywood of Hastings received a 3 gallon pin, Lenora Yoder of Hastings received a 5 gallon pin and Donald Drewel of Freeport received his 7 gallon pin. Red Cross officials expressed appreciation for the co-operation of Pat Vaughn and Janet Rushford of Pennock Hospital, along with others there who planned and helped carry out this bloodmobile. The hospital does this on an annual basis. Kathy Bachman and her Jr. Girl Scout Troop 718 supplied the delicious homemade cookies. Officials also extended a .special “thank you" to those donars without whom the Barry County Red Cross could not keep going, saying, “the giving of your time and blood is so much appreciated. ’ Red Cross volunteers: Bernie Doyle, Marion Furrow, Florence Lantz, Doris Paulsen, Jean Pugh, Frances Glasgow, Barbara Drewel, Helen Keeler. Carol Slimenl. Wilma Story, Jo Beardslee, Margaret Keeler, Pat Cassell and Kathy Lawrence also assisted in the successful effort. Hastings Banner Devoted to the Interests of Barry County Since 1858 Hastings, Michigan Vol 126, No.«, prjce 20e Wednesday, June 3,1981 Battle Goet On, And On Zoning Chief Hauls Drive-In Owners To Circuit Court Barry County Road Commission grader working on Yeckley Rd. where residents say the road was nearly impassable in places due to erosion, chuck-holes and bumps. Road Commission Chairman Robert Russell said situation isn’t good for county road repair and up-grading right now, and looks bleaker in the future. Americans shift to fuel efficient automobiles and drive fewer miles, taxes as a proportion of auto operating costs decrease. It’s those taxes counties use to repair, maintain and replace public roads. Decline of tax revenues is creating a crisis in rural road upkeep. A brief summary of Michigan’s road system indicates more than 50 percent of the state’s paved main highways are rated ’’substandard" under national guidelines. Design of 22 percent of the main paved roads is obsolete and hazardous under modern driving condition. More than a third of the slate's 10 thousand bridges are rated deficient and another 3,300 county road bridges are standard - many are closed to traffic or posted for load restrictions. According to the Michigan Department of Commerce, a third of the the state’s 116 thousand miles of highway, streets and roads is in "poor" or "very poor" condition. Outlook for the immediate future is not good, according to most experts in the field. Some say by 1983 revenues will not support roads at present levels of maintenance. They say money for construction and improvement ’will be out of the question. Michigan motorists accepted a 2 dollar increase in the price of gasoline in 1979 when the state raised the gas tax from 9 to 11 cents per gallon. But the average Michigan driver now pays about $5 per year less than in 1979. Most seriously hurt by condition of the roads are motorists themselves. Estimates of fuel waste caused by bad road conditions in Michigan alone reach over 700 million gallons annually. The Road Information Program (TRIP) a Washing­ ton, D.C. t research organization,' reports condition of Michigan paved roads costs motorists an average of $146 apiece annually. TRIP reports a driver’s dollar takes him 5 miles on a good road, 3.7 miles on a fair road and 3.2 miles on a poor road. New Homeowner Benefit* Included Energy Program Set for State Michigan is now poised to tackle the energy crisis head on with the most all-inclu­ sive residential energy conservation program in the U.S., according to Daniel J. Demlow, chairperson of the Michigan, Public Service Commission. Demlow said gas and electric companies serving 98% of Michigan's residential customers are participating in the new Michigan Energy Sai'ing Plan. The plan is designed to reduce consumption of natural gas and electricity and to help customers offset the ever-rising cost of energy, Demlow said, Michigan’s Energy Saving Plan consists of a Home Energy Analysis, zero interest conservation financing and an insulation outreach program for low income customers. At a news conference at the Veterans Memorial Building, Demlow said, “I am absolutely convinced that these programs are the most efficient, cost-effective and equitable means of achieving a society we all want-a society in which there is an adequate supply of energy, at the lowest cost possible for all our needs for many years to come." Also attending the news conference were Walter J. McCarthy, Jr., president, chairman-elect. The Detroit Edison Company: Robert W. Stewart, president Michigan Consolidated Gas Company: and John D. Selby, chairman. Consumers Power Company. The first component in Michigan's Energy Saving Plan is I he Home Energy Analysis, mandated by the 1978 National Energy Act. For a $10 charge, a trained auditor will examine a customer’s home and provide an in-depth evaluation of the energy efficiency of tne dwelling. The auditor will then recommend energy improvements, including the use of solar and wind energy systems. In addition, the' auditor will give the customer informaiton on the cost of installing energy-saving measures by contractors and for do-it-yourself installation as well as an estimate of the potential energy savings for each recommended measure. Customers will receive a conservation kit containing several easy-toinstall energy-saving devices. All residential customers of Consumers Power, Detroit Edison, Michigan Consolidated Gas, Lansing Board of Water & Light, Michigan Gas Utilities, Michigan Power, Indiana & Michigan Electric, and Southeastern Michigan Gas are eligible for the Home Energy Analysis. The Commission this month has also approved for Consumers Power Company a zero-interest financing program which will allow the residential customers of 'the company to obtain loans from the company in an amount up to $1,000 for contractor-installed insulation and $700 for insulation installed by the custome#.. The principal of the loan will be repaid in equal installments reflected on the customer's monthly utility bill for a period of no greater than 60 months. Yesterday, the Commission approved for Michigan Consolidated Gas Company a zero-interest financing program which will allow the residential customers of the company to obtain loans from the company in an amount up to $1,500 for contractor-install­ ed ceiling insulation and furnzee retrofit devices, and $750 for customer-installed ceiling insulation. For both programs the principal amount of the loan will be repaid in equal installments of a period no great than 60 months. This program provides all residential customers of these companies with ready access to money for energy conservation. It is estimated that 500,000 residential customers are potential candidates for this program. The final component is the Insulation Outreach program. Low income customers of Consumers Power, Michigan Consolidated Gas and Detroit Edison may qualify for free ceiling insulation to be installed by the customer, volunteer groups or contractors. Customers of participating utilities will receive in the mail complete information on the Michigan Energy Saving Plan. Discuss Jail Rehab Sheriff David Wood will be at the Quimby United Methodist Church Monday, June 15. al 7:30 p.m. to speak about the rehabilitation program at the Barry County Jail. The discussion will include general operation, philosophy and how inmates are treated. The growing problem of over crowding in state and federal prisons also plagues county jails. This will be an opportunity to learn what is happening on the local level and gain insight as to ways the public can help. There will be a question and answer period and refreshments will be served. This is a community service and information program co-sponsored by Peace and Quimby United Methodist Churches, and everyone is invited. Quimby Church is located southeast of Hastings, on M-79, between M-37 and Charlton Park Road. By MARY LOU GRAY A Complaint for Injunction Relief was filed early Tuesday afternoon, June 2, in Barry County Circuit Court by Winifred Keller, Barry County Zoning Adminsitrator, against M.L C. Limited, a Michigan Corporation. A show cause hearing is scheduled for Friday. June 19, at 1:30 p.m. in Circuit Court with Judge Hudson E. ‘Deming presiding. MJ.C. is ordered to show cause why a preliminary -injunction should not be granted. The action came as the result of construction of a portable movie screen on the site of the Hastings Drive In Theater where the original structure was destroyed by fire last fall. The original drive-in screen tower was a non-conforming structure under-the Zoning Ordinance because it violated required set-back from the road rightof-way. It was allowed to operate because it existed prior to the establishment of the Zoning Ordinance in 1976. However, the screen was totally destroyed by fire in November. I960. MIC Limited then applied for a soning variance to reconstruct the movie screen. On May 5, 1981 the Barry County ZoningBoard <f Appeals denied the request, based on three sections of the zoning ordinance. Disagreeing with the Zoning Board’s decision, MIC Limited subsequently filed suit in Barry County Circuit Court. Their attorney said there is no basis in law for the denial. The Circuit Court hearing, originally scheduled for May 22, was postponed to Friday, June 5, at 1:30 pjn. Meantime, early Thursday, May 28, construction began al the former screen site, and what appeared to be a portable movie screen was being constructed atop a semi-trailer. MIC ran ads in area newspapers announc­ ing re-opening of the theater. In the first of three counts, the complaint states that "the new structure violates the set-back requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, and is an extension of a non-conform­ ing use in violation of both the letter and spirit of the Zoning Board of Appeals decision on May 5." The Complaint further states the “erection, maintenance and use of said movie screen" by MIC Limited, “constitutes a nuisance per se, pursuant to MCLA 125.224 and MSA 5.2961 (24)." The County Board asks for "a preliminary injunction against MIC Limited, its agents its servants and its employees from conducting, maintaining, or permitting the continuance of said nuisance." They also ask e permanent injunction be issued, "restraining them from conducting, maintain­ ing, or permitting the continuance of said nuisance,” and "that the court grant such further relief as may be just and equitable in the premises. The complaint cites Section 10.1 of the Barry County Zoning Ordinance, which says. “It shall be unlawful for any person to commence excavation for any building or structure or to commence the erection, addition, alteration, repair, or raising of any building, or struct ure; and ho land use repair or move any building or structure; and no land shall be commenced until a Zoning Compliance permit has been secured from the Zoning Administrator." No zoning compliance permit has been issued. In the second count of the Complaintr the county asks for a preliminary injunction against MIC Limited, its agents, servants and employees, restraining them from conducting, maintain­ ing, or permitting the continuance of said nuisance. It also asks thpt a permanent injunction be issued restraining Defendants from conduct­ ing, maintaining or permitting the continuance of said nuisance, and for relief as may be just and equitable in the premises. In a third count, according to MCL 125.1502 (v) and MSA 5.2949 (2) (v) the State Construction Code defines "structure” as “that which is built or constructed, an edifice or building of any kind, or a piece of work artificially built up or composed of parts joined together in some definite manner." The complaint states that the State Construction Code requires a building permit to be issued prior to the construction or alteration of any building or structure HASTINGS N V . ’ S I C» H A $ ' N G S ABSOLUTELY NO ONE UNDER 1 8 ADMITTED This ad appeared io the entertainment section of last weekend’s edition of the Grand Rapids Press. under' MCL 125.1511 and MSA 5.2949 (11), and that no building permit was issued for the construction of said drive-ip screen. The complaint questions safety of the screen, since data has not been supplied to the Planning/Zoning Department to determine if wind load capabilities ofthe structure are sufficient. The third count also states the Defendant and its agents have not obeyed the Stop Work Order issued by David Koons, Assistant Zoning Administrator on May 29, at about 7:00 p.m. Plaintiff asks for a preliminary injunction against the Defendant, its agents, servants or employees, enjoining them from maintaining the screen, and ordering the removal of the screen; that a permanent injunction be issued against the Defendant enjoining them from maintaining, construct­ ing or erecting a drive-in screen al the property described without first having obtained a valid building permit.

Page 3 Hazardous Waste Conference Scheduled Managing hazardous wastes in Michigan will be discussed in a June 29-30 conference in Michigan State University’s Kellogg Center for Continuing Education. More than 200 locai government officials, municipal and private attorneys, and industry representatives are expect­ ed to gather to hear state and national leaders and authorities. Production and dispoal of hazardous materials in Camps Set For Season Michigan’s private camp­ ground operators expect one of their best seasons as most families vacation close to home and camp to stretch their summer recreation dollars, according to the Automobile Club of Michigan. “The state’s continuing economic problems are helping spur a turn to camping vacations which begin last summer," stated Auto Club Touring Manager Joseph Ratke. “More than 63 percent of the 261 private camp­ grounds responding to an Auto Club survey reported business up an average 6 percent last summer. Thirty-four percent reported business dropps and three percent reported no change. That compares with 1979, when more than half of those surveyed reported a business drop. So far this spring, the number of season leasesrenting a site for the entire summer-are up nearly 30 percent over last year at many private parks, more than a month before the season's traditional Memorial Day holiday starts. Many operators also report short term reservations approximately b percent above last year, with most campers planning longer stays than in the past. Auto Club stated. Further indications that more persons are choosing Michigan and camping for their vacations are a 6 percent rise in sales of state park entry permits despite a S3 price increase and Auto Club’s first-quarter statistics showing a 15 percent rise in member routing requests for Mich­ igan destinations, when compared nth the same period in 1980. Prices and services are among the main reasons campers are choosing private parks, Auto Club said. Private parks on Auto Club’s guide will charge an average S6.42 nightly for a campsite with electricity. State parks charge up to $6 nightly, plus a $2 daily or $10 annua) entry fee. There is also a $3 fee to reserve a state park site, with no such fee at private parks. Private park owners plan a number of activities for campers, ranging from conducted bus tours to nearby cities and hikes through secluded forestland to family oriented events such as hay and horseback rides, cookouts, free movies and dances. Because of slate budget cuts, services including interpretative programs and life guards will be limited at many state parks. Auto Club’s 1981 private park guide lists 359 facilities with 34,361 sites, more than half the state’s approximate­ ly 60,000 campsites. State park campsites total 13,984 up 72 from last summer. There are 3,375 state forest campground sites, 162 less than a year ago. Federal and county, township and city sites number 2,415 and 8,200 respectively. To encourage slays in northern Lower and Upper Michigan, reservation rules have been eased at certain state park campgrounds. Families may reserve sites by telephone anytime before arrival. Reservations must reach all other stale parks at least seven days before arrival. Michigan, one of the nation's top states in chemical waste output, will be topics. So will Michigan’s needs for its own waste-disposal facilities, the dangers to citizens of improper waste handling, and the legal, environmental, and social risks associated with locat­ ing hazardous waste facilities. The Michigan Association of Counties. Michigan Municipal League, and the Michigan Townships Association are sponsoring the event which will be conducted by the Institute for Community Development of MSU's Lifelong Education Programs and Central Michigan University’s School for Continuing Education and Community Services. Michigan Attorney General Frank Kelley, an aggressive enforcer for environmental protection laws, and State Senator John C. Heriel (D)Harper Woods), sponsor of much of Michigan's hazardous waste legislation, will be featured speakers. Jacqueline Warren, senior staff attorney with the Natural Resources Defense Council, a New York City­ based environmental organization, and David Kee, director.

When you open the envelope containing your June utility bill you will find a very important booklet (or you might receive it as a separate mailing.) It describes the new Michigan Residential Conservation Services program featuring a Home Energy Analysis. The new service is offered by eight major Michigan x utilities and meets the requirements of the M'chigan Public Service Commission and the 1978 National Energy Act. It’s available to all homeowners and renters who pay energy utility bills. Even if you and your family are already conserving energy, the Home Energy Analysis can show you how to save more. For a S10 fee, you will get a complete inspection of your home by an energy specialist from yout utility. You will learn how effective your present insulation, weatherstripping, caulking and other energy cost saving measures are. and you will be provided with information on specific things you can do to reduce energy waste. You also will receive a written computer analysis giving you estimates on how much recommended improvements will cost and how long they will take to pay for themselves. Information on contractors who can do the work, details on. financing, tax credits and Home Weatherization Grants for low income persons also will be provided. After the work is completed, you may have it inspected by your utility. Some of the recommendations may cost very little or nothing at all. Some you may be able to do yourself. Others will require the senices of a contractor. In any case, the Home Energy Analysis puts you under no obligation to earn out any of the recommendations. However, you probably wiil want to do at least some of these, because now you will know a great deal more about how to make your home energy efficient. Whether or not you decide to have a Home Energy Analysis, please read the booklet that comes with your June bill or by a separate mailing. It lists many things you can start doing right now to save energy and money. The booklet also tells you about assistance you can get from your utility to help you make your home more energy efficient —with or without the Home Energy Analysis. Lists of contractors and lenders, as well as do-ityourself information also are available from your utility. You can sign up for your Home Energy Analysis by returning the post­ card in the booklet or by getting in touch with your utility. The sooner you sign up. the sooner you can start reducing energy waste in your home. The Michigan Residential Conservation Services program is conducted through the utilities listed below.

Calhoun and Allegan Counties) I Outside ot above area 513.50 I To the Editor: I would like to comment on some of Mr. Marfia’s remarks. First off, his making reference to the t act is of divide and conquer have to come as a direct indictment of the very type of instituion he wishes to propagate. In that, operation of a county wide transportation authority would fall under the auspices of the now existing Region 3 territory of Regional Government. Divide and conquer is one of the main principles operating in the formation and gradual take over of Regionalism in America. Since then, Mr. and Mrs. Michigan registered voters, did you in the past ten years or so instruct your elected and delegated officials to align themselves with a five state system of quasi government concerns. Il is involved with every­ thing from the “creation of jobs" to the control, distribution and regulation of trafficI have been a registered voter for those same ten years and not once can I even remember having that issue presented io me on a ballot. This came as a result of the voting public abdicating much of their responsibility in making decisions to the elected body of government officials. In regards to Mr. Marfia’s comments about the threat of recall and economic boycott on behalf of the act ions of one of our county commissioners, he states, “What shabby tactics. Such an approach should be beneath reasonable persons.” Apparently the participants of our “Boston Tea Party" and other pre­ revolutionary economic actions were obviously, by Mr. Marfia’s standards, the deeds of unreasonable persons. Finally, Mr. Marfia makes an appeal to the members of the "silent majority" for them to express their opposing views to the vocal minority, so that he is able to determine and can more adequately represent their concerns and opinions. He closes by saying he would be more than willing to abide by the will of the majority. May I remind Mr. Marifa that those same members who voluntarily choose to remain silent in the channel of the media also elect not to participate in our electoral process in choosing government officials. Like it or not, in reality, he will have to abide by the wishes of a minority, namely that minority which is composed o£ the individuals in the county who are concerned enough to get out and vote. Sincerley, Bruce Augustymak To the Editor: The Commissioners voted Mass Transit down. Radant, Gordon, Kiel, and Bell would have liked the study to continue. Sooner they are out of office the better for the county. Ex Commissioner Hammond told it just like it is and those 4 couldn’t see the light. Imagine around $6,000 for the Commissioners a month. You don’t find concerned head of the Commissioners Radant turning his share down do you? What a waste. Also the five or six thousand dollars for Regional Government (Southcentral Michigan Planning Council) that Gordon and his cohorts on commission have cowed the county into. Thornapple Township didn't have much with Bender representing them and they have less today. Actually it’s frightning. The Commissioners will be trying Io expand the bussing that is in the county now. As long as there is any money I he program will bet bigger and d<> less and less. I can imagine the handout is welcome whether needed or noi. You can’t gel a true picture from some know-itall that's just returned from Florida. Dick Dean, you were a responsible person to vote no. Don’t vole yes on any alternate plan Porter and the slate want to sucker you in. Also Regional Government is to be voted out. My tax money can go to much belter things. In December the Solid Waste Committee was mapping all recycling centers in Barry County. It's 6 mont hs and just where can you take cans and bottles. That $9,287 state grant plus $2,322 local share is spent now, I suppose. Anothe; Gordon creation? Sam. Marfia. you applaud Radant and Snyder. The American way is to recall, not shoot, your irresponsible representative. We don’t need bussing even if you headed the $20,000 study and probably would have been the head of the mass transit system. That silent majority you mentioned would have signed that recall petition. Sincerely, Donald Johnson To the Editor: I just wanted Io let you kn<>w huw much I appreciate The Banners coverage of my recent speech before the O.T.L.A.M. meeting. I only wsh that there was a newspaper in Kalamazoo with ■ such unbiased report ing. Thanks again for every­ thing. Sincerely, Ron Reisterer To the Editor: What’s Next? Tve been referred to as “The white knight," an "Imported gun." and now in Mr. Jones (Chair' nan of the planning/zoning commissiion) most recent letter to you, I’m now labeled as the "Mobile home evangelist." I don’t believe the Reverend Billy Graham should have any cause for concern. The entire discussion of zoning in Barry County has consistently been misunder­ stood by the planning commissioners and many of the county commissioners. They continually imply that a special interest faction is the underlying force in the ongoing zoning dispute. This, it would appear, seems to be their biggest problem. If they would only allow themselves to view the Issue for what it is, one of constitutionality and the rights of private peoperty ownership. I’m sure they would then be able to escape from the forest they’ve been lost in. Many of the people involved in OTLAM have no interest whatever in the issue concerning manufact­ ured housing. They are conventional homeowners who have realized the unfairness and inequities of the Barry County zoning ordinance. In short, they have experienced too much government control of their lives and will not tolerate government intervention and dictatorial policies any longer. Sincerely, Dick Whiteluck, Pres. Custom Housing Center, Inc. 7058 S. State Rd. Ionia, Mich. 48846 EDITORIAL We For Hastings School Board h’s too bad that at least two seats are not open on the Hastings Board of Education. In recent years, competition for school boardseats in the Hastings district has been the exception, not the rule. Maybe the schools' recurring financial problems arouse more interest, or maybe there are just more people interested in the schools. Whatever the reason, it is good to see that there is a race for school board. The problem, then, is how to decide which of the three candidates would be best for the school district. In Dr. Bill Baxter, we have a intelligent, public-minded man who is completing a term on the board. From his many civic activities, we know that this man has high character, and a genuine interest in the schools and community. He does his homework, and is also very effective working with people. Judy Sharp is intelligent, and has quite a background in education. She has some ideas which might benefit the schools, and is very frank in presenting them. As a Hastings native, and former business owner, she lias some helpful insights. Art Allen comes into the race with no special ties with the schools or education. He might be said to represent the rural constituency, especially the southern portion of the school district which is not now represented. There is one conspicuous difference between incumbent Baxter on the one hand, and Mrs. Sharp and Allen on the other. Mrs. Sharp and Allen definitely come on the scene as outside critics of the present board and administration. Although their ideas cannot be considered radical, they both can be strident in public. This makes dandy headlines, but does not necessarily solve problems. Dr. Baxter, conversely, is the epitome of diplomacy. He very effectively handled a very volatile public meeting last year, in which hundreds of people filled the bleachers in the junior high gym, and won compliments even from critics for his tact. That's why we wish there were two seats open. There's no good reason not to re-elect Dr. Baxter. He is certainly among the most intelligent and knowledgeable of the present board members. He handles matters well, and while he may work quietly, we teel he is working effectively to see that the schools are well-managed and doing a good job educationally. No easy task in these hard times. ■Allen and Mrs. Sharp tend to shoot from the hip. They hava both made public charges without having the facts. When you play the critic, you better know what you’re talking about. But the board needs one or two critics, on the inside. The board needs someone who will ask the tough questions, who will throw out a new idea for discussion, even though it may not appear practical. In the past the Banner has been critical of the Hastings board because it does seem too much of one mind. Rarely does a board member ask an administrator a hard question, at least in public. We need someone who can and will do that, but without rancor. Last year, in a three-way race against two incumbents. Art Allen came close to being elected. That shows there are a significant number of people not happy with the present board. This year, with two "outsiders” running against one incumbent, the vote of dissat­ isfied citizens will be split. In the case of the current election, there is no reason to bump Dr. Baxter off the board. Of all the present board members, he would be at the top, or close to it, of our list of those who should be retained. Despite the need for a gadfly, we cannot justify replacing Dr. Baxter with either Allen or Mrs. Sharp. But we do hope that one of them will be back at the next election, when there should be more chance of winning. Saturday night in their "temporary" surroundings.

Mr. and Mrs. Everett Johnston were Sunday dinner and afternoon guests of Mr. and Mrs. Gaylord Laughlin of Beech Road at Jordan Lake. Mrs. Betty Smith called us one day last week to give us a little bird story--two of them, in fact, Mrs. Smith has been the housekeeper for Victor Eckart, former County Commissioner, at his home on Brown Road west of Woodbury corners for the past nine years. On each of those years she said, four pairs of barn swallows have built nests in the hog house on the farm. The eight birds are there again this year. However, this year an extra pair appeared a week or so ago and flew in and out of the front porch seemingly looking for a place to build. But, Victor has some cats that spend considerable time on that porch and that evidently influenced the visitors not to build there. About the lime these birds arrived there she read in my items that our pair of swallows had left us and she felt that our birds had become their birds. The annual party for a group of elderly ladies of the Lake Odessa area was held at the Eckert home and some of the guests ate their lunch out on the porch and that apparently was loo much for the swallows and they left. The next day “our" swallows returned and they have been very busy ever since carrying mud by the mouth­ ful, carefully putting it just where they want it and packing it down tight with their little bills. By the time you read this, at the rate they are now going, the nest will be complete and perhaps have eggs in it. Story No. 2. There is a chuck hole in the black top driveway at the Lakewood United Methodist Church just west of the Eckert home and Mrs. Smith has occasion frequently to drive in there. On several occasions as she had approached the hole she has seen a killdeer standing beside, looking down into it, then move around to the other side, look into it again, then raise it head heaven ward as much as to see, “0 Lord, please send some rain and fill this hole with water for me.” Recently, following a shower, Mrs. Smith drove in there and there was Mrs. Killdeer drinking, wading and bathing in the chuck hole full of water, as happy as could be. Who says God doesn’t answer Frayers? He even cares for the little birds. Brian Donaldson accompanied Jeff Hoover of Lake Odessa to a basketball and sportscard showing at the Fort Wayne Airport Hilton Inn in Indiana Sunday.

THE HASTINGS BANNER, Wednesday, June 3,1981, Page 5 Coin Calls Going To A Quarter? Michigan Bell applied today for its second annual rate increase due next October under Michigan Public Service Commission's "CPI Rate Adjustment Plan." The proposed 7.56 percent increase would be applied on an across-the-board basis to nearly all company services. Local coin telephone calls would go from 20 cents to a quarter. Increases in one-party flat rate residence service, which includes one basic telephone, would range from 78 cents a month in Detroit to 59 cents a month in the smallest outstate exchange. Frank R. Zimmerman, Michigan Bell vice president, noted that since 1976 the coin phone rate has remained at 20 cenls-a price he said now falls far short of .'overing the cost of handing a call from a pay telephone. Originally proposed by slate Attorney General Frank J. Kelley, the CPI plan was adopted by the Michigan Public Service Commission in April, 1980, for a three-year period. It allows annual price adjustments for Michigan Bell in an amount substantially less than the rate of inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index for each preceding ve“rlhe plans formula provides tor this year's adjustment to be based on the 1980 CPI when the inflation rale was 12.4 percent. Under the formula, Michigan Bell will be held to ’he 7.56 percent increase it has requested. ATTENTION HHS SENIORS Get Your Picture Receiving Your Diploma from White's Pnotography.

Is the deposit re .lly worth it environmentally? Governor: Studies show­ ing that the bottle deposit law in Michigan has been greatly beneficial to our environment. A new study by the Department of Transportation shows that filter along Michigan's highways has been cut in half since the banning of ihrowaway containers in 1978. The law has played a .ficant role in helping .ne <ate to consume fewer natural resources, as a result of recycling and refill­ ing. These processes also result in less solid waste which must eventually be buried in landfills. According to a legislative committee report on the effects of the bill, each year 15,000 tons of aluminum and steel and 65,000 tons of glass are being recycled instead of buried in the ground. The ban also has resulted in great savings of energy, bauxite, iron ore and dune sand. The Department of Transportation’s annual study on highway litter has found that a significant number of cans and bottles picked up last year were throwaways from other states, where they are allowed. It is a fact that prices have increased since the deposit law took effect. But the consumer price of these drinks-especially beer-is not an accurate measure of the law's effect in a time of high inflation when all costs are rising sharply. We also must take into account the savings incurred in state litter cleanup costs. We must consider, further, the value of maintaining Michigan’s reputation as a pleasantly clean place to vacation, travel and live. An additional factor affecting beer prices is the restriction on brand competition. Proposals have been made to deregulate the mall beverage industry, lifting price advertising restrictions and these products and permitting a greater price competition. This could prove beneficial in generating competition between brands and, consequently, in driving prices down. Question: I read recently that you requested Presi­ dent Reagan to rescind fed­ eral rules regulating Indian fishing on the Great Lakes. Why? (rfvernor: T »e State of Michigan has I en involved with the U.S. I' nartment of the Interior f< some time over the issue •». the Indian fishery in Michi> in's Great Lakes waters. Significant differences of opinion bet­ ween the state and federal agencies about interpreta­ tion of the state’s rights have caused extended law­ suits and a harmful impact on fish slocks. The issue is whether the state shall be . rn . ted to continue to manage .ie fish­ eries resources in Michigan wafers of I he Great Indies or whether 'a federa. .agency will be allcweo 'o:d dilute its judgment for tl.. of the state and our citizens. Both jurisdictions are in full agreement that the treaty right given to Incdian na­ tions must be respected. In November of 1979, rules were established by the Department of the Interior regulating the Indian fish­ ery. The State of Michigan was allowed to comment prior to their adoption, alt hough state suggestions were not accepted. On Dec. 31, 1980, the Department of the Interior extended these rules to May 11,1981. There was on opportunity for pub­ lic comment by citizens or state officials. The rules are based on an annual allot­ ment of fish which may be harvested. The basis for this allotment is disputed by the Michigan Department of Na: ural Resources as biolog­ ically unsound and harmful to a fishery built up over many years with tax funds. Therefore, I have asked President Reagan to rescind i hese rules. Michigan would then have the opportunity to exercise its rights to pre­ vent serious depletion of the valuable fisheries resources in the -eat Lakes, while recognizing treaty right. 1 have receivecd a reply from ire it ty i admit istru'ion arkn 'edging my reauest a.id i<v ing ‘ha1 the en­ tire >,i.*blem •<» be re­ viewed.

Members of the Board attending from Barry County will be Richard Landon (District 1, Charlton and Woodland Townships),' Paul Richard Dean :District 2, Rutland and Irving Townships), Otis Hermenitt (District 5, Prairieville and Barry Precinct rf 1), and Edward Daniels (District 8 Hope and Barry Precinct it 2. They will join more than 350 counterparts from the state who will see some ways MSU agricultural' research and Extension can assist county government and local residents through educational programs. "This briefing also gives us in Extension a opportunity to express our appreciation for the partnership in education existing between MSU and the commissioners,” says ’’v'ris Richardson, director of Extension in Barry County. program The day’s includes talks by MSU administrators and tours featuring about 40 education program available to county residents. These range from computerized budgeting for families to leasing lands f r oil and gas exploration. It is also an opportune time for commissioners to learn about, the purpose of Extension and agricultural research. purpose is to help improve the quality of people’s lives through education. The programs offered are based on local residents' needs, be they development of leadership skills for the urban persdn or teaching farmers to sell grain on the Chicago Board of Trade.” Series for Formert Forward Contracting With Elevators Contracting with the elevator is usually referred to as forward contracting or eash contracting. It's a good way for the producer to “lock in" a certain price for the crop before harvest or white the crop is in storage. This method is designed to reduce marketing uncertainty for growers as well as processors and handlers. It is most during periods of unpredict­ ability, says Michigan State University Cooperative Extension Service agricultural economists. Banks generally favor growers who contract at least a portion of their output over operators with no commitments, because contracting shifts at least part of the risk away from the growers and improves their loan repayment capacity. Forward contracting has several advantages. It eliminates some market risk and uncertainty; the grower can contract quantities smaller than 5,000 bushels; do margin or commission is required; the grower can be more firm about many management decisions; and the need for storage facilities can be trimmed or eliminated. It also has some disadvantages, including loss of some market flexibility. The grower must deliver at the conrnct price at time of delivery, and there is some risk of default by any of the parties involved. Three types of contracts are generally available: the fixed price agreement, the deferred price agreement and pooled sates contracts. Under a fixed price agreement, the producer simply agrees to provide a specified amount of grain to the handler or processor at a specified time and price. This is usually baaed on the futures prices at the time the contract is signed. The futures price is adjusted to account for any differences in product quality and place of delivery between the forward contract price and the futures contract. This is also known as the price later agreement (PLA). It specifies the amount, the quality, the place of delivery and other obligations of both parties. The final price settlement, however, is not made as part of the initial contract. Under PLA, the grower typically Hastings "They were begun by Congress in the early 1900s with the purpose ot taking university-developed research to local residents,” says Mrs. Richardson. may sell his grain at any y:: year, -. as ” grain 2 is r processed ______ 2 time during the year prior to or sold, additional price the specified sellihg date settlements are paid to the listed in the contrract.

Storage and handling insurance. charges usually begin with a fairly high minimum. There are several advantages on the grower’s side. At the time of contracting, the1 market could be so unsettled that the grower couldn’t predict what was likely to happen. With this arrangement, the grower could delay calling for payment for the grain for tax purposes. These are primarily used by producer cooperatives. The grower is provided with a cash advance at the time of delivery. Then during the Banner Devoted to the Interests of Barry County Since 1858 Vol. 126, Ne. 45, Hastings, Michigan The Sweesies and Brizendines died in the crash along with the pilot of the aircraft and his wife, B^-. and Mrs. Terry DeVries of Kalamazoo. According to the foreman of the jury, the decision was reached because the jury did not feel negligence on the part of the aircraft company. "Testimony proved to us (the jury) that the aircraft was safe and the decision to fly in the adverse weather conditions were made by the pilot. Therefore, we felt they were aware of the weather conditions and what kind of equipment was on the aircraft and therefore the responsibility was with the pilot.

"Personal and moral beliefs are not proper questions.” Coats was ordered to answer. Theophelis then asked Coats if he recalled making the statement a vigilante committee should be formed to rid the community of the theater and maybe the vigilante committee should burn it down. Coats states he did not make such a Statement to his memory's recollection. On cross examination by Attorney Krissoff, Coats said he did not allow personal likes, dislikes, etc. to affect his decision. He said he considered objectionable the subject matter at the theater and many people voiced opposition to the granting of the variance. But he didn’t decide on the matter of the moral issue. Coats arid the board did its very best in not letting the moral issue enter into their decision. Wilbur Solomon, a member of the Zoning Board of Appeals was next witness. He made the original motion to dray the variance, based on three sections of the zoning ordinance. Testimony revealed he based his denial on the cost portion of the ordinance. He believes erecting a new structure would extend the non-conforming use which is against the zoning ordinance.

J Me 8,1981 Pace 4 Voice of the People To the Editor: State wide, approximately 60 percent of our property tax dollars go to our school districts to educate our chil­ dren. All of us want and expect decent schools, excel­ lent teachers, a good school transportation system,'and above all, the best course offerings money can buy. We have been willing in the past to fund our schools at an adequate level, how­ ever, the state had a better idea, consequently, aid to education by state govern­ ment has been rapidly deter­ iorating and has now reach­ ed new lows. Our property assessments over the last seven years have been rising dramatical­ ly, aid to education provided by the state has been de­ creasing dramatically be­ cause of Lansing’s “better idea,” and that is the School Aid Formula. Under the school aid for­ mula, if you vote to increase millage for your school dis­ trict, the state will “de­ crease its aid." When your assessments increase and you pay more taxes to your school district, the state “de­ creases its aid." We pay 88 different taxes in Michigan. Most of them are collected by the state, they are supposed to fund education and to share revenues with our city, township, and county gov­ ernments. Lately, they have been collecting higher and higher taxes and giving less and less back, in fact, we come to a point in time when we say “The school district is out of formula." This means that a resident of a school district in this cate­ gory will pay all 88 taxes, but receive nothing back for their children’s education from the state. Our state representatives and senators must periodic­ ally vote for the school aid formula, yet each year they vote for less funding of education and higher spend­ ing in other areas such as grants and transfers which includes the Pontiac Silverdome, a new amusement park for Flint, increased spending for social Pro­ grams, and increased spend­ ing for creating and ex­ panding miscellaneous other costly boondoggles. The educational commu­ nity is not without blame, their powerful lobbies do not demand increased funding for education. To the best of my knowledge, they have not sued the State of Mich­ igan on behalf of our citizens because of the constitutional requirement that education be funded, they have not raised their voices in rage because the citizens of the school districts are being denied their share of the educational dollars when the district is out of formula. During this tune of ever escalating property tax as­ sessments, the county, city, township, and school dis­ tricts have enjoyed increas­ ed funding without having to ask for a millage increase, the state has been quietly reducing funding for reve­ nue sharing, and education. The only losers in this whole scheme have been the people, we pay higher prop­ erty taxes and because of inflation, higher taxes of every kind. Our standard of living has been decreasing, ouir children can't afford to pourchase homes, they move out of the state to find new jobs and opportunities, and yes, lower taxes. Where shall the blame be placed? I suggest it sould be placed on the shoulders of the governor, the legis­ lature, the teachers unions, the school board administra­ tors, and county and local officials. What can we do and how can we help ourselves? We can write letters of protest, we can scream and shout, we can petition, but in the end we must go to the ballot box and carefully choose fiscally responsible candidates for public office. No longer can we afford these liberal spendthrifts be­ cause their past record proves that their philosophy coupled with their policies, procedures, and formulas will bankrupt us all, both morally and fiscally, and those who will suffer the most are our kids, and our mothers and fathers. Michael C. Sessa Chairman Macomb County Taxpayers Ass’n To the Editor: My wife, Mary E. Cramer has wirtten several letters to the Editor of the Banner these letters have never been published Why?l! You seem to put all the rest of the letters in. Why not hers? Is it because she tells it like it is? After reading all about the trouble Michigan is having I am so glad I do not live there any more. My wife has written for the Banner for years. All I read in the Banner is how hard up Michigan is. and all the time raising taxes. I pay no taxes for schools no taxes at all. We still have freedom of the press or at least I thought so. So if you have the guts print my wife's letters.

The five-week course at the Marine Corps Base, Camp Pendleton.Calif., is de­ signed to prepare Navy hos­ pital corpsmen and dental technicians for duty with Marine Corps combat units. During classroom instruc­ tion, practical application periods and field training exercises, he studied the fundamentals of battlefield survival and personal pro­ tective measures. He received instruction on basic tactics and the use of weapons for self-defense. To graduate, he was required to demonstrate basic pro­ ficiency in emergency med­ ical techniques, casualty evacuation, field sanitation, field sanitation and preven­ tive medicine procedures. MICHIGAN MIRROR Jail Guards Blamed for Prison Riot at Jackson By WARREN M. HOYT Prison Riots Caused by "Staff Mutiny" Report Says A report to Governor William G. Milliken blames the outbreak of prison riots on a "staff mutiny" with one riot at Jackson leading to others at Ionia and Marquette. Peter Bisworth, the governor's legal counsel, is making the report to the governor, put preliminary damage estimates at 42 million st Jackson and less than $1 million each at Ionia and Marquette. Some 45 prisoners and 88 staff members were left injured at the three prisons during the uprisings. The Department of Corrections reports that ful damage estimates will not be ready until sometime in early June. Ellsworth concluded that Jackson guards moved to lock up prisoners despite contrary orders from prison management, but said it was uncertain whether a strike was planned. The guards, and its union, the Michigan Corrections Organization "in essence unlawfully took over management and control of the State Prison of Southern Michigan," the report said. Fred Parks, director of the organization, submitted a statement to the governor in which he said the guards took action to protect their safety and the management under the level of warden acted irresponsibly and indecisivoiy in oealing with the situation. "It is management's failure to moot its statutory oblgotions under (the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Act! by refusing to maintain staffing at the critical levels, which was the root of the recent disturbance at Jackson," Parks said. Millikon, who also namocj a nine-mem­ ber task force to more fully Investigate the prison disorders, said one charge spedficaRy wM be to investigate the actions of staff. He said a preliminary report wM be due in 30 days and a final report in 60 days. • • • Department of Corrections Director Perry Johnson said he w« take "appropriate action" for violations of rules or law by guards or inmates. He said he recognized animosities exist between the union and the Jackson administration, but noted he is trying to work out the differences. The director reported the seven units destroyed by fire, which held about 200 inmates, will not be replaced since they were scheduled for removal by 1964 anyway. Instead, inmates are temporarily doubling up and will be disbursed to other institutions eventually. Ellsworth recommended serious consideration of opening a new prison in Ypsilanti before the scheduled September 1 date. • • • Johnson added that employee discontent, overcrowding, warm weather and an accumulation of desperate men, who do not have the hope of gaining good time credits all helped contribute to the prison violence. Credits for certain violent criminate were eliminated through an initiated law that is now three years old. While Johnson is a strong advocate ~f the use of good time he said he doubted if there would be much sympathy for rewarding prisoners for the behavior. UtWr, Companies Institute Lifeline Rate Structure A lifeline rate structure, providing rates 15 percent lower than average prices for a basic block of electric usage has been approved for use by Detroit Edison and Consumers Power. The rate structure was required by a 1980 state law, which required a block of electric usage sufficient to meet basic household needs to ba priced low enough to be affordable by most customers. Because the price incrosses for usage beyond that basic block (360 kfowatt hours for a one or two member famiy and 510 kilowatt hours for larger famines), the rate structure is expected to help induce conservation. 4-H NEWS 4-H Camp and Pool Getting Ready to Open By KATHY A.

Hair, the National Wildlife Federation’s new chief executive officer. “We must establish a record of cooperation, "Hair told the Conservation Round Table of Washington. D.C. in his first public appearance after assuming command of the nation’s biggest citizens conservation group on May “I am a firm believer that cooperation, instead of confrontation, is the best way to the resolution of difficult problems. We may well find that we have more areas of agreement than disagreement if we can develop a constructive dialogue with the Reagan Administration,” he continued. Hair’s call for cooperation was part of a five-point ’’Survival Strategy for =8 Conservationists” he outlined before the capital conservation community. Hair said conservation groupmust work more closely together, “even if it hurts.” He cited last year’s Alaska Lands Act as a case where cooperation worked. They must choose their issues carefully, concentrating on such big bills as the Clean Air and Clean Water Act renewals and “not trying to save every one-acre urban park,” Hair added. To hold their own with III! President Reagan, “an extremely effective communicator," they must sharpen communications skills and they must activate their members at the “grass | roots” level to convince the Administration that environmental values are "crucial components of qualiity of life standards In Britain bangs in hair expected by the American are known as fringes. people."

SOCIAL SECURITY Q. Although I turned 18 this winter, I still get social security benefits because I am a full-time student. I will not be going to school over the summer but will start college in the tall. Will my benefits stop for the sum­ mer? A.Since you were a full­ time student this year and plan to be a full-time student next year, social security win consider you a full-time student as long as you are out of school not longer than four calendar months. Braefits wiU be paid as long as you meet all other require­ ments. Q. I turned 65 in Novem­ ber and started getting social security at the time. Although I sold my farm last. September, I just received over 58,000 for the sale of some crops that have been in storage. Will my social se^ curity be affected? A. Because you have not performed any services sirce you started getting social security, the money you received for the sale of the crop wfll not reduce the amount of your monthly benefits under the annual earnings test. In fact, when the money is added to your earnings record, your fits may even increase. You should report thto income to social security even though your benefits will not be affected. 4 Grade Beys Yankees Red Sox Pirates 3-4 Grade Giris Dutchmen Yankees Houston 3 2 1 0 0 1 2 3 Chop some fruit flavored gel­ atin as a garnish to top fresh frurt cup.

"Insurance Is Our Business1 for county government in the United States. Out of a total of 3,104 county-type governments in the United States, NACo’s 2,000 phis member counties represent approximately 98 percent of the U.S. population. County Achievement Awards will be presented at NACo's 1981 annual conference in Jefferson County (Louisville) Kentucky, July 11-15, 1981 to County Chairmen Joseph P. Romanchuk of Calhoun County and Kenneth R. Radant Barry County. The award winning Sewer Construction Training Program began in Calhoun County in response to immediate need for qualified sewer inspectors for the 80 ' million dollar sanitary sewer network through-Calhoun and Barry Counties. The program administer­ ed through the Mid Counties Employment and Training Consortium provided an eight-week training program for 60 economically disadvantaged residents of Calhoun and Barry Counties as entry-level sewer construction inspectors. The training combined four weeks of - intensive classroom training by the engineering firm of Williams and Works and a four-week training period of on-the-job field experience closely supervised by the qualified inspectors of the various engineering firms involved in the construction project. Upon ’ successful completion of the four-week field experience,/ the trainees became employees of the Calhoun and Barry Counties* Department of Public Works, earning $6.50 per hour. John M. Martinoff, Executive Director of the Mid Counties Employment and Training Consortium, said the training provided training employment opportunities to long-term economically residents while an estimated $800,000 has been saved by both counties in sewer construction costs. Of 60 program trainees, 16 were females, 20 were Public Assistance recipients, 26 were veterans, including 16 Vietnam-era veterans, and 15 were minorities. Three participants were hired in unsubsidised employment before the completion of training, A total of 26 of the original 60 inspector trainees are still employed in the construction project, and 14 have found other employment in training related occupations. As at January 1,1981,210 miles of the sewer construction had been completed. BILL BAXTER Dr. William Baxter was re-elected to his seat on the Hastings School Board, with 722 votes.

It ain’t the money, but the principle of the thing,' it's the money.” Kin Hubbard To the Editor: There are two problems facing the United States, Michigan, and Barry County. Solving one will also solve the other. Problem M 1 is Employment-Production, Problem M 2 is inflation. Let’s tackle the question of inflation first: An excess of dollars IS inflation. Not the high cost of groceries, gas, fuel, rent, automobiles, taxes too high because of inflation. Fifty years ago we were told that a little inflation would help, but after these 50 years we see that it is no longer helping-it is now our master. Social Security is in trouble because of inflation, and, those dependent on Social Security, are in near desperate condition. Indeed all government services are now so costly because of inflation that we find ourselves burdened with excessive taxes of all kinds, income tax, property tax, and excise and use taxes. These things are difficult for us individuals, and-they are also difficult for businesses, privately owned and corporate. We are intelligent enough to know that business is just another form of person, and that we survive much better and prosper when our business prospers. Here in Michigan we are in a position to see that when business is made to suffer, we all do without. The big dty legislator have, by blunder or design, made it possible for business only to continually cut back, and made it impassible for small business to expand, and employ more people. Now, it does not take a genius to see that the fewer taxpayers the less tax dollars will be collected-we can’t all live off the State of Michigan, when the state has ever decreasing tax income, which it prefers to send the Big City. (Tve wondered why Detroit, with all its resources, doesnthave enough to help the rest of the state?). Problem M 1 We, the people need more jobs, which are easiest to create by private means, not by dwindling tax sources, in, other words we need less government, (less control, less programs) in Washington, in Lansing, and in Hastings. Problems which always increase in cost never break even, are only beneficial to a small per cent of the citizens, and these programs are always beyond our control, in the hands of a few bureaucrats, who enjoy a little (or a lot) of power, always seeming to lead to a layer of government which the voter does not vote for, or have any voice in. More production will also aid in reducing costs, hence will reduce inflation. Wendall Strickland To the Editor: The Barry County Child Abuse Council would like to sincerely thank the Hastings Education Association for their successful fund raising . “ 'urnament Day** held May 30,1981. The funds received will be put to use in our own community to prevent child abuse and neglect. Watch for the Council’s information booth at the Barry County Fair for details on Child Abuse & Neglect projects already in progress. Plan to help the Council determine what other prevention services are needed in our community by completing our 'needs assessment survey' at the fair. Thanks again to the Hastings Education Association for their generous support of the Child Abuse Council's efforts to help the children in Barry County by creating supporting services to prevent Child Abuse & Neglect.

Students in the program will be bussed to Delton for classes. Parents of many students are concerned about the change; some have indicated they’ll work to have the board reconsider the move. Altoft School auvmodates mentally and physically handicapped people from birth to 25 years. The Barry Intermediate School District is comprised of two local districts, Delton and Hastings. There are 21 students involved, 15 are in the Hastings district and 6 in the Delton district. Two of the Hastings district students actually live in Ionia County but are handled in the Barry County district as a courtesy, due to proximity of their homes to Barry County. ‘’Increasing costs for maintenance and operation at such an alarming rate” is one of the reasons stated Jim Hund, Director of Special Education of Barry Intermediate Schoo) District, as to why the district is looking to other existing school facilities and maximiring their use. Hund said, "The phOosphy of the District is that the handicapped should be educated with the normal children as much as possible" He feels it will be good for handicapped as well as normal children. Richard Guenther, Superintendent of the Hastings School District, said his personal viewpoint is the new program should be tried and honestly assessed for a period of 3 to After that period, a system to evaluate the program should be implemented to determine if the program should be continued. “The evaluation would certainly include input from parents," Guenther said. Guenther said atmosphere tor the children would be mostly in self-contained surroundings, with little opportunity to integrate with regular school programs. Guenther said in working with handicapped children, the "emphasis is dual. Service must ,bo provided for the parent on an equal bash as what is provided for the chOd." % Parents objected to closing Altoft at the June 10, Barry Intermediate Board meeting. Twenty two parents were against the move. Two were for the move. Sj jkesperaon for the parents were Ann Kuhlman. Objections to the dosing Altoft were based on possible limited mobility of students at the new site, extended' time being transported, playground limitations, present play-' ground equipment not being utilized at the Delton site, and the inappropriatenere of the mainstreaming of teens and twenty years olds into an elementary school. Parents also believe the move to Delton will neither maintain nor improve the present program. Lawrence Schlaek, Superintendent of the Barry — Intermediate ™ School oum Board told the Banner the Board voted unanimously to move the program from the Altoft ___________ School to the______ Delton.Kellogg Elementary School for the coming aebool year on a three year trial basis. "In nuking' that ri^ririnn " said Schlack, "the board took the recommendation of the Altoft study committee and the Special Education Parent Advl.ory Committee. After atudying the matter several months, the recommendations of both groups was the program would be better off at the Delton location. Addressing the mobility problem, Schlack said, "it is not our intent that everyone of the students would go to the cafeteria. At the Delton site, hot lunches can be brought to the classroom. There are some 2 to 8 year olds in the program who wouldn't even be going to the cafteria, so meals would have to be provided. Some students are in wheelchairs, and wouldn't be going to the cafeteria either." "The advantage,” continued Schlack, “is that there is no hot lunch program at Altoft. and the children will have one at Delton. Regarding extended transportation time. Schlack said, “the transportation will be shorter for those in the Delton area. All these years, we’ve been bringing the Delton students up here.” No child living in the Hastings city limits will ride more than 1 hour and those residing outside the city limits may ride for slightly more than one hour. “On balance.” said Schlack. “the move will mean shorter time for some and longer time for others. "The playground equip­ ment can be moved to Delton." said Schlack. “The decision has not been made - whether or not to move the equipment, but it can be done if the board so desires." said Schlack. Regarding the parents’ objections to mainstreaming the children, Schlack said, "it is not our intention that our children be in Classrooms with the Delton children. The intent is they will be in a building with regular or normal children." Some of the children wQl probably not ' leave classrooms, others may. “But it will always be the parents’ decision as to whether the child leaves the handicapped room and mixes with other children," said Schlack. "If parents prefer they not leave the handicapped room, the child will not leave,” concluded Schlack. " "The Board sees the move as an advantage to the children - a step up," said Schlack. -In view of the Board’s decision. Mrs. Kuhlman told the Banner parents plan to write a list of complaints and file them with the appropriate autnorities in an effort to see if the program proposed at Delton is in compliance with State regulations. She said parents still want to keep the Altoft School open. banner j] Hastings Hastings, Michigan as and the public *' members "* gather at Charlton Park, Thursday, June 18, at 6:30 .

Wok Junior High Fora Is Students Honored Gaining Michigan's economy continued to show signs of recovery as the state's jobless rate for May dropped for the third straight month, falling to 11.5 percent from 12.2 percent in Arpil, accord­ ing to estimates released today by Michigan Employment Security Commission Director S. Martin Taylor. Taylor said there were 24,000 fewer workers unemployed in May as the state's jobless total declined to 504,000. At the same time, the number of workers with jobs grew by 88,000 to 3,887,000. Michigan's improving labor force picture is especially apparent when the current May estimates are compared with those of a year ago, Taylor said. In May 1980, the state's jobless rate was 14.0 percent with 602,000 out of work. In addition, total employment was 3,690,000,197,000 less than the current total. Taylor described May's drop in unemployment as being larger than normal and attributed the drop to the economy’s overall improvement with job gains in the retail, construction and service industries. Manufacturing and automotive employment levels remained stable. Another sign of the economy’s improvement is the growth in total employ­ ment. Since February, the number of people working has increased by 240,000, Taylor noted, while unemployment has dropped by 100,000. In the coming months, Taylor said he expects that the jobless rate will increase in the summer when students begin looking for summer jobs and model changeover layoffs occur in the auto industry. However, by the fall Michigan's employment picture should resume its overall improvement. While Michigan's unemployment rate fell in May, the national jobless rate climbed from 7.3 percent in April to 7.6 percent last month as the number of unemployed rose to 8,171,000 from 7,746,000. Senators Call for Big State Tax Cut As you leave the Hallowed Halls of Ivy of the College you call Alma Mater...and the friendly corridors of your beloved Area High School...N.B.H. salutes the achievement of your graduation! Soon you will be faced with one more significant decision...and we sincerely believe that the choosing of our bank, to serve your future financial needs, is one of the best ones you can make. Rational 3[Bank of Hastings West State at Broadway Member F.D.I.C. All Deposits Insured up to $100,000.00 State Senate Democrats unveiled a plan calling for the largest tax cut in Mich­ igan history - 11.2 billion over three years - while providing total local control over rising property taxes. The Democratic pbn pro­ vides for the following: -35% cut in homestead school property taxes over a three year period. -Senior citizen exemption from all school property taxes. --Automatic rollback of millage rates to offset prop­ erty tax hikes due to assess­ ment increases, unless local officials vote to let them increase. -Tax credits for senior renters. -Business tax relief through reform of the Single Business Tax (SBT) The state would reim­ burse local school districts for their total revenue loss due to the tax cuts without providing any alternative tax increase to make up the lost funds. For 1981, all homeowners would receive a property tax refund check from the state. Beginning in 1982, the lax cut would be deducted di­ rectly from a homeowner's tax bill on an itemized statement. "Michigan voters have sent us a very dear message -they want substantial cuts in both property taxes and state spending and they don't want an offsetting tax increase to it," said Senate Majority Leader William Faust. “They are being forc­ ed to cut corners to deal with inflation and they want state government to follow suit." "Michigan homeowners have been stuck with an unfair share of school oper­ ating cosis in recent years due to skyrocketing assess­ ments," he said. “This plan will reverse that trend by having the state assume a greater share of the cost of financing public education." Under the Democratic plan, school operating taxes on homesteads for Kinder­ garten through twelfth grade (K-12) would be cut by 15 percent in 1981, 25 per­ cent in 1982 and 35 percent in 1983 and thereafter. The Democratic plan also provides total local control over future property tax increases by requiring roll­ back of millage rates to offset property tax increases resulting from inflationary assessment increases. The property tax could only be increased by a vote of the local governing board at a specially scheduled public meeting for that pur­ pose. "Our proposal simply freezes local property taxes unless local officials vote to let them increase," said Faust. "This maintains local control over the property lax process while insuring that assessment increases cannot be automatically added to lax bills," he added. Senior homeowners would be exempt from paying .any K-12 operating taxes at all. Senior renters will receive a stale income lax credit so they will pay no more than 40% of their income for rent. “The greatest financial burden facing many senior citizens is their housing costs, particularly property taxes and rent," said Faust. “This plan will provide much needed tax relief for Michigan seniors and, in some cases, prevent them from being literally taxed out of their homes." The plan would provide benefits for businesses in 1981 by allowing new businesses and firms with gross receipts of $5 million or less to pay a tax based on profits. Under current law nonprofitable businesses can still have a substantial tax liability. The plan would also remove worker's compensation and unemployment insurance costs from the Single Business Tax base, beginning in 1983. "Many of Michigan's budgetary problems have their roots in our over­ reliance on the automotive industry," said Faust. "Re­ form of the Single Business Tax will help provide the necessary incentives for businesses to establish and expand their operations in the state, providing much needed jobs for Michigan workers." During the next two months, Faust said, Senate Democrats will give top priority to legislation de­ signed to improve Mich­ igan's business climate through job and economic development.

Fritz told the Banner he's been operating the store for a long time. “My early neighbors were the Taylor Shoe Store, Martinizing Cleaners, the Hastings Bakery and across the street with the Kroger For A Landing grocery store," Fritz said. Fritz said operating a small business, "Isn't as much fun as it used to be." He said business conditions have changed and operating problems are making profitable operations difficult. Fritz said furniture costs have soared as northern 10 Mile Hike furniture plants have dosed and moved south. He said many large and small furniture dealers have closed businesses in our region in the past several years. Fritz tited cash flow as most difficult problem facing small businessmen. Fritz said the current Quality furniture building has been a furniture store for about 90 years. The first retailer to occupy the building was McCoy Furniture Co., later Miller Furniture, then McCoy again. Then Miller took a partner and it became Miller -Harris Furniture Co. In the late 1930’s the store was purchased and became Roth's and Roth and Anns Furniture til Fritz bought the operation in 1962. Fritz owns several buildings in the 100 block of W.

Disease M-V Board Disscusses Community School* At the regular meeting of the Maple Valley Board of Education Monday, June 8, board .members discussed continuation of the community school program by combining with either the Lakewood or Hastings programs. Community school director Ernest Jacoby obtained information from both districts regarding programs which could be provided at Maple Valley if Maple Valley were to affiliate with either district. The board members decided to pursue afTHintinn with the Lakewood program, and a community school representative from the Lakewood Public Schools will attend the July board meeting. Maple Valley community school director Ernest Jacoby is retiring June 30. A letter of resignation was accepted from Barbara Heald, teacher aide in the special education program at Maplewood Elementary School. A letter of resignation as cheerleading advisor was accepted from Melanie Garliner. A letter of resignation because of retirement was accepted from Lucy Jacoby, fourth grade teacher' at Fuller Street Elementary. The board members approved a resolution for membership in the Michigan High School Athletic Assodaiton, Inc. for the year beginning August 1, 1981 through July 31, 1982. Elam Rockwell, board member representative on the professional study committee, made a report on meeting held regarding revision of elementary report cards as well as consideration of change* in the high school English, art, and consumer educaiton programs. Report cards have been sent to a printer for a rough draft and will be brought back to the printer for further study. Rockwell said a concern is the amount of space which should be provided on the report card for .teacher comments. The professional study committee discussed revision in the high school English program from semester to full year classes, and decided this area needs further study. Mr. Rockwell said reports were made to the professional study committee regarding art and home economics programs planned for the coming school year without any action being taken at this time. The committee also heard a report regarding the consumer education program. The board members approved that consumer mathematics will become a part of the consumer education requirements as a full credit course.

Cedar St. Kalamazoo, Ml 49007 362 5143 A.5 Futures Market The futures market is the most complex of all the marketing alternatives available to a grain produc­ er. Prices are established for commodities that can be delivered in the future. Its primary function is to set expected prices. Futures contracts are, in effect, promises to complete a cash transaction when the con­ tract matures, explain Mich­ igan State University Co­ operative Extension Service agricultural economists. Commodity futures pro­ vide a way fur the producer to shift marketing risk to someone else who is also participating in the futures market and is willing to accept such risk. Once the desired selling price is locked in by selling a contract in the futures mar­ ket, the producer is no longer concerned about whether the futures market rises or falls. Cash and futures prices tend to come together as the futures con­ tract approaches maturity, so any loss sustained in the futures market will normally be offset by higher prices iu the cash market when the grain is sold. Both hedgers and specu­ lators trade in the futures market. Hedgers use futures to establish a price for a commodity which they eith­ er own or are committed to produce and which will be deliverable at some time in the future. Speculators have no com­ modity to deliver. When the speculator offsets the con­ tract, he has no product to sell on. the cash market. Therefore, the speculator has no profits or losses in the cash market to offset the profits or losses in the futures market. The specu­ lator profits only to the extent that he or she is able lo guess correctly which way the market is going. The contract is a firm commitment to deliver or receive specified quantities and grades of a commodity during a designated month, with the price being deter­ mined by public auction atthe commodity exchange. A futures contract is a legally binding document, and the producer should thoroughly understand it before enter­ ing the agreement. The basis is a key to successful hedging. For grain producers, it is the difference between the Chi­ cago futures market price for grains and the local cash price on the same day, Le., when a hedge could be placed or lifted. The price listed at any given time on the Chicago market is for that quality of grain deliverable to Chicago or some other approved de­ livery point. Delivery would be extremely involved - if not impossible - for most producers, so the futures price is "localized.” This adjustment involves the location or transporta­ tion differentia] from the producer’s farm to Chicago, differences in grain quality and differences in the exact time the grain will be sold in lhe cash market to account for someone's storage costs. Basis varies from one location to another and changes from month to month, normally narrowing as the delivery month of a futures contract approaches. The actual basis normally reflects the cost of trans­ portation and storage. Historical basis estimates are usually readily available from the local Extension office, the local elevator or a commodity broker. If the in­ formation is n«t readily available, the producer can make an estimate. The best way to estimate the basis is to examine past differences between Chicago futures prices and cash prices on the local market. Cash prices can be obtained from daily newspapers or a local brokerage firm. Then compute the local basis by finding the differences be­ tween the tw prices. Re­ cording these over a period of time will provide a basis pattern for the local area. From this point on, the most important steps are to figure the production costs and arrive at an asking price, localize the futures price and make a hedging decision. Producers unfamiliar with lhe futures market would be wise to consult with a local broker or grain merchant or contact the local Extension office about educational pro­ grams that will help them acquire a thorough under­ standing of this marketing took Shortage Causes Shutdown Decreasing state gas and weight tax revenues have forced the first county road commission to shut down nearly all operations. Effective Friday, June 19, the Mackinac County Road Commission will be forced to almost completely cease operations due to a lack of funds, according to D.J. Goudreau, Jr., Manager. Mackinac County will lay off all county road employees except one maintenance person, and one person in the Commission’s £t. Ignace headquarters. Goudreau said the county road commission will remain shut down until new funds are received from the state or county. Despite severe cutbacks in operations, the Mackinaw road unit has simply exhausted its funds, Goudreau said. x Mackinac County thus becomes the first county road commission casulty as the result of a decline in highway revenues resulting from lower motor fuel and auto license revenues as motorists shift to lighter cars and use less gasoline, according to Earl F. Rogers, Engineer-Director of the County Road Association of Michigan. Declining gas apid weight revenues which are shared by state, county, and municipal road agencies already have forced major cutbacks in highway construction and' maintenance. Faced with a further 9 to 10 percent reduction in road tax collections this year, nearly all county road commissions have laid off workers, eliminated new construction, and decreased road maintenance operations, Rogers said. Data collected by the County Road Association shows road commissions laid off 6.2 percent of their workers last year and expect another 9.2 percent staff reduction in 1981. “Thp crisis in Mackinac County only illustrates the critical fund shortage facing all agencies responsible for maintaining our road systems for the benefit of motorists," Rogers said. “Unless some solution is found soon, other* county road commissions may be forced tb follow Mackinac in almost completely shutting down opertions,” he added.

Monday, June 15.1961, Page 7 Discuss Disposal Problem Report How and Why Landfills Go Wrong Forty-three unsanitary landfills deform the land and stain the waters of southwestern Michigan. These landfills, constructed in the 1960s and 1970s before the concept of sanitary landfills were fully understood, are transition landfills. They came into being between the old, open dumps - recognized by everyone as unhealthy and unsanitary - and the new sanitary landfills, constructed to contain Solid Waste Committee Establishes Data Base Preliminary solid waste date figures and a plan to incinerate waste from the metropolitan Kalamazoo/ Battle Creek area were the major topics of discussion at the June 4 Barry County Solid Waste Committee. The Committee reviewed preliminary solid waste estimates based on population, types of industries, and institutions present in the County. These preliminary figures establishing the volume and nature of solid wastes generated in Barry County have been submitted to state authorities who authorized release of state funds which had previously been ear-marked for Committee use. It was noted that establishing a good data base was essential to obtain an accurate description of the problems faced by Barry County. This is the first step in a process which will carry us into the 21st century. These preliminary figures will be corrected and updated over the coming months and incorporated in the plan which must eventually be approved by County, Townships, Villages, and the DJ4JL In other business, the - report‘ committee *■ heard’ a from Marcy Brooks on the Southcentral Michigan Planning Council's research to establish a waste incineration plant in the Kalamazoo/Battle Creek areas. This plant would burn wastes to generate steam which would be sold for power to industries. It would also substantially lower the amount of wastes thus prolonging the life of area landfills. Ms. Brooks also announced that S.M.P.C. would be holding public meetings in Hastings to explain their plans and assess public response.

Kelley psserted growth of prison population and facili­ ties has not kept pace with the growth of th* general population and the crime rate in Michigan. He noted both the elimi­ nation of good time with the passage of Proposition B in 1978 and the Felony/Firearms Statute have led to increased pressure on the prison system. “I supported, and still do, the Felony/Firearm Statute. It is dear, however, that taking from prison guards and administrators the ability to withhold reduc­ tions in a prisoner’s mini­ mum sentence by, in most cases, five to ten days a month, has seriously eroded their ability to control our prison population. “I believe government exists to provide a legal order in which citizens can go about their lives without fear for personal safety or security," Kelley said. "But, we must recognize laws passed to protect, society are not self-enforc­ ing. The law of gravity works without help from anyone. The criminal laws do not," he continued. “In order for our criminal laws to work, we need an expanded state prison sys­ tem so that those who are convicted of violating the law will be imprisoned as the law ind the courts require." Kelley state the only solu­ tion to the problem is action hy the Legislature to appro­ priate more funds to build and staff prisons. The drawings are from ten volumes of airship scrap­ books produced by Dellsehau during the last 20 years of his life. The drawings are on loan to the Art Center from the Menil Foundation of Houston, Texas. Dellsehau was born in 1830 and died in April of 1923. He probably immigrated from Germany to the United States in 1848. He lived primarily in California and Texas. He was a member of the Sonora Aero Club, which was dedicated to designing and construcing navigable aircraft. Incredible as it may seem, Dellsehau documented the use of an “Anti-gravity gas" that “negated weight." He called this fuel “NB" or the “Supe". The substance, a liquid fuel, was injected into a chamber containing a drum like device which soaked up the liquid and produced the motor power for the airships. It is clear from the volumes that Dellsehau considered one Aero, the Aero Goosey the most perfect. The Goosey also referred to as the “Gander”, was designed, bull*. and flown by Peter Mennis around 1857. Were Dellschau’s balloonships fact or fiction? No one can say. However, one cannot deny that his designs are visually exciting and highly imaginative.

Reinking focuses on the Ottawa County Landfill in Park Township as an example of a transition land­ fill. He points out ways we can learn from our mistakes to prevent future pollution. Interested citizens can art to deal with Michigan’s transition landfills. Reinking advises: 1. Became aware of land fill sites in your area. 2. .Learn a little hit about landfill operations: where problems generate, what leachate is, the way water moves in the earth. 3. Raise the issue with your township government and with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. Contact the Resource Recovery Division of the DNR, Box 30028, Lansing, 48909. Insist on information about the landfills in your area and insist that the DNR verify they are operating without causing pollution. 4. Become involved in the activities of your county solid waste planning committee, established recently under Public Act 641, the State Solid Waste Management Act. 5. If you need expert help, scientists such as geologists and engineers are available through the Science . for Citizens Center, Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo, 49008. The Center provides scientific consultants to citizens in the 15-county area of southweatern Michigan. Reinking wrote his report as part of a 15,100 contract with the Center. Copies of the report are available at local public libraries and on loan from the Center. Free copies of a summary will be available from the Center later this summer. Science for Citizens is a program of the National Science Foundation, which is providing funds for this 15county regional group. The program's purpose is to provide citizens and public officials with the knowledge they need to make wellinformed public-policy decisions on issues involving science and technology. According to Robert W. Kaufman, Director of the Center at WMU, “services are provided in response to requests from people who participate in our Citizens Network." He explained that, “anyone who is active in and knowledgeable about his community can join the Network.” Application forms for citizens seeking advice or information on community issues involving aspects of science and technology may be obtained by calling (616) 8888983 or write to the Center. Kaufman said lessons of the Ottawa County Landfill are intended to “prepare citizens and public officials in other southweatern Michigan communities to deal with landfill problems on a more informed baJs.” Notice The Hastings Civic Theatre will be electing officers Wednesday, June 17, at 7 p.m. at American Legion Hall, corner of Green and Church St. The meeting is open to the public. The Women's Christian Temperance Union will meet Tuesday, June 16, at 1:30 p.m. with Mrs. Ralph Moore, 2334 Wasabinang. Visitors are welcome. The phrase "the fourth estate," referring to journal­ ists, was first used by Sir Edmund Burke during a speech made to the British Parliament, as he considered the various powers that be in the British government. POLLUTION PLUME SPREADS: Hope College Geotegbt Robert WsWag The Ottawa County Land­ fill provides an infamous example of a Landfill gone wrong. Located on a 300-dcre site north of Holland, of which 40 acres is ued, the landfill is definitely contaminatit.g ground water, the pollution plume is creeping south and south­ west toward Lake Michigan and threatens public health with its burden of cancer­ causing chemicals and other pollutants. It seemed to be a good site and met all the state standards when it ws« built in 1968. As early as 1974, a study conducted by Reinking and his college students concluded it was unsuitable as a sanitary landfill. The groundwater and geological study showed the pure umdy soil acted as a sieve, conducting pollution into the ground water. In addition, the water table is so high, groundwater often pools on the surface, allowing pollutants to enter the waters immediately. Reinking informed the county board of commissioners of his findings that the landfill was unsanitary and a new site should be found. He offered to meet with the county and discuss his findings. He was not invited. No action was taken. "Somewhat naively I expected them to go ahead and do something. We had informed the responsible groups and left it for them to do," Reinking says. Four years ago, DNR tests showed that heavy metal contamination was being generated by the landfill. More recent DNR tests have detected a multitude of pollutants in the plume including, inorganics: chloride, sodium _________ ____ of nitrogen and compounds including nitrates and organics: benzene, chloroform, toluene and No. 1, 2-lrich lorethane. Reinking’a report shows that the DNR instructed thu county to begin closing the landfill in 1978. Delay followed delay and the unsanitary landfill, operated • Waste - - — by Management, Inc., remains open. In the meantime, the pollution plume has spread over 70 acres and threatens residential wells. To meet the immediate health hazard from polluted drinking water, the county acting on a federal grant, has constructed a municipal water line for threatened residenta. In Reinking’a opinion. Park Township’a plan for providing hook-ups to that water line represents one good consequence of the landfill fiasco. The water plan could serve as a model for other communities. An independent committee of three, made up of Reinking, a chemistry professor and a resident (all who live in Park Township) will decide when a well is threatened and can recommend free hook-up. If a resident feels threatened earlier, he may hook up by paying 1100 down and 1100 for ten years. If at any time in the future, the pollution actually threatens the well, the money will be returned. The plan has two advantages as Reinking sees it. 1. It allows action in advance of a health hazard. (Individuals sense hazards differently). 2. It reassures residents that if they take action in advance of the immediate hazard, they won’t be financially penalized. While the water plan addressed the immediate health hazard, the DNR insists that the county dean up the groundwater. A closure date has been set for October 15 of this year. Reinking has carried his prevention message to township governments, to solid waste planning groups and citizens' groups. "A landfill like thia (Ottawa’s) will never again be permitted in the State of Michigan...but we must deal with the proper closing and management of those transition landfills,” the professor says. Dr. Reinking is head cf the geology department at Hope College in Holland. He holds a master of science and doctorate in geology from the University of Illinois aid a bachelor of science from Colorado College. He previoulsy taught at Texas Tech University.

Turkey shoots were popular in this country from Colonial times to the settling of the west. They were sponsored by enterprising local merchants to stimulate business. They offered townspeople and outlying farmers an opportunity to get together for a gala day of socializing while sharpshooters displayed their marksman­ ship and competed for prizes of livestock and merchndise. At Greenfield Village, the Civil War period is vividly recalled by 48 Yankee and Rebel teams in military outfits and several roundball clubs in period mountain man costumes. On Saturday individuals compete with several types of black powder weapons, including muskets and pistols. On Sunday eight­ man teams compete in rapidfire exercises testing them­ selves against time and targets. In addition to the regular shooting contest, there is a costume competition, awomen's shooting demonstration and getting gun and cannon demonstrations. Other highlights of the weekend include Civil War style marching bands; demonstrations of rifle making, bullet molding and knifemaking; and army and Indian campsites.

Murkowski and then accepted by the Senate, authorizes the administration to lower the number of seals now killed under the terms of a 70-year old treaty. It also provides fo. a series of studies designed to develop job opportunities for the Aluets who live on the islands. They will no longer be dependent on Treasury funds paying them to kill” 25,000 seals a year. Results of the studies are to be sent to the Senate by March 1,1984. An attempt by Senator Levin to amend the treaty during its consideration by the Foreign Relations Committee was unsuccessful. With the support of - number of animal protection groups. Levin decided to carry his plan to the Senate. “Americans have been outraged for years over the way the Canadian Government permits killing of harp seals of the North Atlantic," Senator Levin said. “But our government not only permits similar slaughtering on U.S. islands in the Bering Sea, we hire the seal hunters and subsizide the coats fashioned from the seal skins. “Much of the justification of the annual slaughter has been that it provides the only source of employment available for the native Aleuts. It seems to me the money we now allot-some $4 million a year-could be better spent and would have longer-range advantages if it were used to develop alternate means for the Aleuts to earn a living." � https://barrycountyhistoryportal.org/files/original/19/508/HastingsBanner_1981-06-17.pdf 0e10628ff34833ea64f0c4e6cc5fb673 PDF Text Text Reisterer Tosses Hat in House Ring Hastings Devoted to the Interests of Barry County Since 1858 By MARY LOU GRAY Ron Reisler, 30-year-old teacher from Comstock, officially tossed his hat into the political ring Tuesday, June 19, when he announced he is running for the 55th District seat in the Michigan House of Representatives. Announcement was made at the Barry Township Supervisor’s Associaiton meeting. Reisterer introduced himself as a Republican, “a conservative Republican who advocates a rebirth of faith in our founding values.” He said his battle cry is “lower taxes through less government.” Reisterer says he's running because the current representative, Don Gilmer of Augusta, has been in office 6 years and has done nothing to reverse the trends in Lansing for ever increasingcosts. In fact, he’s done the opposite. Reisterer said the record clearly indicates Gilmer has supported pork barrel support to the Detroit area, courted the Milliken administration, actively campaigned for Governor Milliken's Proposal A, no added production; supported and continues to without production, there is support the costly position no growth" he said. Governor Milliken takes on "Tax cuts are not just the abortion package, and, desirable,” said Reisterer. most recently, championed “They are essential." the Detroit relief package, Reisterer then outlined making us all responsible for five pieces of proposed the repayment of municipal legislation he states are bonds worth millions. “The growth orineted tax cuts, Detroit Relief Package" not shifts.

Ron attended the Township Supervisor’s Association meeting at the Barry County Banner Then arrangements were made to use the Community Building but this was not very satisfactory. ........................................ e was „„ Sometimes the building used on Saturday evening anj wa3 a that did not invite a Christ­ ian Worship service on Sunday morning. Arrangements were then needed to hold their meet­ ings at the Junior High School in Lake Odessa. The attendance was increasing and for more than a year they met regularly at Cunningham Acres on M-50 west of Lake Odessa. The members soon felt the need of a church building and began to set aside a fund for this purpose. The Lord signally blessed this action and the fund grew from week to week. In the meantime one of the church's members. Dr. Lee Stuart and his wife had purchased the C.Darby farm on North Woodland Road. The members of Faith Bible Church felt this was an ideal spot for their dream church and purchased a parcel of land in the northeast corner of the farm. Things moved rapidly and it was not long until plans for the new church were drawn. On Mother’s Day 1980, ground was broken for the new building and three weeks later work was actually started on the structure itself. The first prayer meeting was held in what is now the Family Room before the roof was on, when only the sides were up. The first Sunday services in the new building was held on Jan. 18,1981 in the Family Room. On "Moving Day," Easter Sunday, 1981, the congregation moved into a beautiful new sanctuary with 257 present. The attendance at the Sunday morning service has been 160 and tthe ’ present membership is 107. The interior of the church is unusual and beautiful. One person told your scribe that it was the most beautiful church they had ever been in and __j we v have to • agree with ..t that. There are so many items of decoration made or provided by the members. All of the rooms in the building. Family Room, sanctuary, pastor's study, nursery, rest rooms, etc., open off a spacious foyer with a separate rear entrance. The Family Room, with carpeted side walls is easily converted into smaller rooms for Sunday School classes. The Sanctuary is beautifully carpeted and furnished with comfortable heavy dark oak pews upholstered in blue. A stained glass window at each end Rev.

The one at the front of the church, designed by Rev.

The seating capacity of the sanctuary is 300. The exterior of the church ______ is brick,_____________ the bricks were laid by Rev.

But the pastor is filled with praise and thanksgiving for every one who gave their strength and time as well as financially to make this great dream come true, and to the various Fundamental churches of the region round about who have in so many ways expressed their Christian love. And now, just a little more than a year after ground was broke, the church is m full use and on Sundry afternoon, June 14, 1981 at three o'clock, the building was dedicated, at 7455 N. Woodland Road, Lake Odessa. The dedicatory sermon was given by Rev. John Miles, head of the GrandR^pids School of the Bible and Music from which Rev. Sessink graduated in 1974. There were 230 who attended the dedicatory service among whom were five pastors from other churches in the surrounding area. And again. Rev.

She replaces Lucy Slinger, who left to continue her studies. Originally from Coldwater, Miss Walters is a 1973 graduate of Coldwater High School, attended Kellogg Community College for two years and graduated in 1977 from Michigan State University with a Bachelor of Science in Community Services. While still in schcol, she was a 4-H summer program assistant in Branch County, and later was camp director for day camps for lowincome children. Upon graduation from college, she was 4-H program assistant in Monroe County for 2''t years before coming to Hastings. Kathy explains 4-H as an educational program for the youth, offered through each land grant college in the United States. This program is offered through Michigan State University. The program gives the opportunity for leadership and citizenship experience and provides a good way for youth to try careers prior to making a definate career decision for the future. "It’s an action program - learning by doing," Kathy said enthusiastically. Excited about her new position, Kathy says there are 150 different projects available to 4-H members. They are available according to the individual club’s wants and needs and based on the availability of leader­ ship in that particular field. One of the first things Kathy will do is to work with the 4-H Council in an awards program, to make 4-H members more aware of awards, certificates and scholarships available to members. “Many people think 4-H is for farm or agricultural use. It's much more than cows and cooking," she said. There is a lot available for city youths such as crafts, home economic projects like sewing, foods and garden­ ing. For boys, there's a small engine program and woodworking. Before selecting 4-H as her career. Kathy was a 4-H member for 9 years and served as a leader as well. The more involved she got. the more she liked it. She liked the people and tried to meet their needs with the 4-H program. Working with both adults and youth in the educaitonal aspects is what led her to decide to make it her career. One of the best things about 4-H, says Kathy, is that “for a child who wants to excell, 4-H gives that child plenty of room,” and 4-H provides for plenty of room for growth and development in self esteem, self confidence and development of skills.” “And I’m getting to know the program and people and am familiarizing myself with the County," said Kathy. For information about 4-H participating in Barry County Fair or any other phase of the program, Kathy invites you to call her at 948-8039. NOTICE YANKEE SPRINGS TOWNSHIP.

Wednesday June 17,1981, Pa^ 4 MICHIGAN MIRROR Voice of the People Legislators Fidget Over Increased Tax for Detroit Wedding Day Not Far hiai? By WARREN M. HOYT Legislature Agonizes Over Detroit Tax Hike Oh, how it must hurt for a member of the Legislature to vote to a tax increase, any tax increase. This was very evident during last week's maneuvering to get the necessary majority . vote in the House and Senate to give the approval to the City of Detroit to raise its resident and non-resident income tax by one percent each. It was difficult for members even though the citizens of Detroit would make the ultimate decision on the tax during a special June 23 election. The highly controversial city income tax increases for both residents and non-resid­ ent commuters narrowly passed in the House and after seven hours of wrangling, and three* separate votes, the Senate was able to put the 20 votes together to approve the tax. However, the Senate, in reality only put up 19 votes, but due to a 19-19 tie (something that happens very seldom with everyone present and voting). Lieutenant Governor James Brickley cast the tiebreak­ ing vote and cleared the way for the city voters to decide. ... The tax package was designed by Detroit Mayor Coleman Young and a blue-ribbon groups of Detroit business, labor and civic leaders to allow the city to hlep itself out of its current fiscal crisis. The House debate on the income tax bill often became bitter with overtones of black vs. white and city vs. suburban and city vs. outstate. Nervas were on edge during the entire legislative processes with Mayor Young calling Governor William G. Milliken and legislative leaders nearly every name in the book after early efforts for passage broke down. After that outbreak. Young was kept away from Lansing by his advisors. After the House vote, House Minority Leader William Bryant of Grosse Point got it from both sides. He was criticized by members of his own party for not opposing the bill enough and then by the Democratic leadership for not leading his own caucus in delivering enough Republican votes. The tone of the Senate session, which was devoted entirely to the Detroit problem, was set early when opponents did everything within their power to derail the bill. Similar black/whrte, city/suburb and dty/outstate rivalries developed. The Senate also had problems getting votes due to the belief that anyone voting for the package increase bill would not have tny successes running for statewide office in the future. Four members have announced their candidacies for governor. They are Democrats Edward Pierce of Ann Arbor, Gary Corbin of Clio, Kerry Kammer of Pontiac and David Plawacki of Dearborn Heights. Only Pierce ultimately voted for the tax hike. Incidently, Brickley is also chomping at the bit to run for the Republican nomination should Milliken decide not to seek re-election. However, he was able to set aside that desire and cast the deciding vote when called upon. With the problems experienced by the current legislature in voting to allow Detroit to impose an additional city income tax, the people of the state of Michigan would be in real trouble should conditions ever warrant the necessity of raising any tax on citizens of the entire state. 4-H NEWS Region Fitting * Showing Clinic Helps Prepare You for Fair Take Care of ) Those || All-Important '■>' Details Early...

By KATHY A. WALTERS Extension 4-H Youth Agent REGIONAL LIVESTOCK FITTING AND SHOWING CUNIC "Young livestock owners from Barry and surrounding counties can learn showmanship and proper* grooming techniques at the 1961 Regional Livestock Fitting and Showing Clinic," says Kathy Waiters, County 4-H Youth Agent. There will be two clinics being held in counties in the area. Cass County will be hosting a clinic at the Cassopolis fairgrounds on Thursday, June 25th. Montcalm County Mil be hosting a clinic at the fairprounds in Greenville on Monday, June 29th. Both clinics will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. with a break for lunch. Grooming and showmanship for beef cattle, dairy cows, dairy goats, horses, poultry, rabbits, sheep and swine will be covered. The clinic is a hands-on training program. Participants will be shown grooming fitting and showing techniques and will be given an opportunity to practice their new skills. Proper livestock management and feeding practices will also be discussed during the blinic. For personal skill training, Montcalm County recommends members bring quiet, controllable animals. The program is open to people of any age, and 4-H dub members and leaders from other counties are welcome to attend. The livestock sessions will run simultaneously, eo it will be possible to attend only one session. If you want information on more than one species, Walters recommends arranging for a friend to attend a different program and getting together afterwards to share information. It is important that young people learn proper grooming and showmanship early, not just a week before show time. The dinic will provide tips on both fair preparation and actual showing. For more information on the 1981 Livestock Fitting and Showing Clinic, Contact Kathy Waiters at the Barry County Cooperative Extension Service office, or call 948-8039.

If there was adequate management these men should have been screened before they took the job. Instead of using the taxpayers money for their academy training it could have gone toward more patrol. The inmates are allowed to know their rights but some times are kept hidden from them. If a hearing takes place to move the inmate to another county jail from his county residence where he is in jail, he does not have to go because he first must agree to go to the other jail or the papers are no good. Sheriff Wood states “just don’t announce it over the P.A. system at the department" but I feel they have a right to know. Maybe it's time we looked more into our county government.

June 17,1981, Pa*e 5 Trucker Dudley Delivers Sunshine By STEVE REID Dave Dudley, the “High Priest of Diesel Country" survived a rainstorm to entertain two shows at Sandy land. June 14. Those who turned out were not disappointed. Known as “the working man's friend and a truck driver's legend," Dudley was greeted by rain as he stepped to the microphone for the first show. A? it began to rain harder and harder, he stated, "FB stay out here until I see lightning then we’ll all run." Within a few minutes, the rain ended and Dave continued his fine show. Dudley sang many of his hits associated with truck driving, ending with his biggest hit “Six Days On the Road." In between his hits he joked with the local group “Country Fever" who back­ ed him up. Dave was able to keep his humor even during the rain singing "Eddie Rabbit’s “I Love A Rainy Night." Country Fever did an excellent job on their own as well as backing Dudley. It was reunion for Dudley and bass player. Dick Morrison, who had played base at one time for him for eight years. Also singing and warmly received by the audience were Dan Lincoln and special guest Tom Ellis from Caledonia. Dave Dudley, country singer known for his songs about truckers entertained the crowds with two shows at Sandyland Sunday, despite the rain. He and the crowd outwaited the showers, with his humor making the day more enjoy­ able. Coming to Sandyland on June 28 is the great Bill Anderson. Review Dylan Pleases His Old Fans By STEVE REID Bob Dylan came to Michigan last week for two rare appearances al Pine Knob Music Theatre. His concerts were surrounded in mystery. What kind of songs would he perform? In 1979, Dylan became a born against Christian and began performing only gospel songs. This caused him to be rejected by many of his former fans. Over 500 fans walked out at San Diego, Calif when he failed to do any of his "Greatest Hits." Recent rumors stated he was getting away from his gospel music and reluming to being the “old" Dylan. These reports excited his old fans and alarmed his new gospel supporters. Dylan's Pine Knob concert succeeded in enabling all of his fans to go away happy. He satisfied all of those who wanted the old songs by doing, "Like a Rolling Stone," "Maggie Farm", "Single Twist of Fate," "Girl From the North Country," "Just Like A Woman,” “Forever Young" and his encores "Blowing in the Wind" and “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right." Each of these songs were followed by standing ovations from the appreciative crowd. Contrary to rumors, Dylan didn't back down in his stand for Jesus Christ. His gospel songs rang out strong and true as to what he believed. As he said in one song, “I Can’t Let Go and I Won’t Let Go of the solid Rock.” He did many songs off his "Slow Train Coming" and “Saved" albums. An . unexpected highlight of the concert was his performing the gospel classic “Rise Again", telling of Christ's promise of the resurrection. At the conclusion of the concert, fans refused to leave, applauding for over 20 minutes, glad that Bob Dylan had shared with them where he had come from and where he was headed.

One thing that made the occasion of special interest to all present was the fact that the co-honorees, Mrs. Fern Tobias’ parents and Mr. and Mrs. Howard W. Moore of 413 E. Clinton St., Hastings were able to be present and shared the honors as they observed the 59th wedding anniversary on the following day, Monday, June 15. Our sincerest regards to both these couples. Many of our more elderly readers will be interested to learn that news reached us of the death about two weeks ago of Mylo Kussmaul, 74, at his home in Oceanside, Calif., He was a cousin of Stuart Kussmaul of Woodland. Mr. Kussmaul was born in Lake Odessa and attended rural schools in the Sebewa area and in Lake Odessa. He was a barber by trade and while working at that in Grand Ledge, joined the U.S. Navy. He married Frances Whittemore of Lake Odessa and when he left the service he joined her in the home she had established in California. She survives him. His body was creamated and the ashes were broadcast upon the waters of the Pacific Ocean. Kelley and Victor Sisson of rural Freeport were Friday afternoon and over­ night guests of Grandpa and Grandma Sisson. They mowed most of our big lawn, helped in the garden and all they did was surely appreciated. Saturday afternoon callers were Rev. and Mrs. Arthur Vesper (Doris Burge) of Sparta who were enroute home from Albion where they had witnessed the ordination of her nephew (youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Buege) as an elder in the United Methodist Church. In the late afternoon Saturday Mr. and Mrs. Carter Sisson came after the children and had Miss Melinda Konieczny of Hastings with them who was to be Kelley's overnight and Sunday guest. Mrs. LeRoy Flessner was a Monday morning caller at the Sisson home. A couple, well known in this area, will observe their silver wedding anniversary on Sunday, June 21. Open house will be held from 2 to 5 p.m. on that date at the Lake Odessa Community Building to honor Duane and Helen Gray of 746 Fifth Ave., Lake Odessa. Mr. Gfay is a former rural mail carrier out of the Lake Odessa postoffice and Mrs. Gray was, for some time a smiling teller in the Union Bank of Lake Odessa. She later taught in the Al toft School on Coats Grove Road. All friends and relatives are invited to see them Sunday. Mrs. Eleanor Myers enjoyed a telephone call Saturday from her son, Duane and wife of Albuquerque, N.M. The couple were planning a week end of camping in Colorado, a favorite pastime of the couple. LJoyd Curtis of Woodland entered Osteopathic Hospital in Grand Rapids last Friday suffering from lung congestion, after an illness of some length. His condition on Monday was reported as improved. Mr. and Mrs. Everett Jonnston attended the ice cream social al the Woodland United Methodist Church Saturday evening. Sunday afternoon they attended the farewell reception at the church, honoring the pastor. Rev. and Mrs. Clinton Bradley Galloway. The pastor preached his farewell sermon at the Woodland and Welcome Corners Churches Sunday morning. Afternoon callers at the Johnston home were Mr. and Mrs. LaVerna O’Connor of Hastings. Mr. and Mrs. Stuart Kussmaul of Woodland attended Open House Sunday afternoon at the K of C Hall in Lansing in honor of their granddaughter. Miss Kim Kussmaul, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. RJay Kussmaul, a 1981 High School graduate. About 150 attended the open house. The Guenthers and Squires of Kalamazoo and the Hamiltons of Richland, also attended the open house. The Nieckos of Parchment were unable to attend as Steffins teacher was getting married at that time and he had a special invitation to the wedding. Miss Kussmaul plans to enter the nursing profession and will take her first year's training at Lansing Community College. Mrs. Elwin Curtis had another birthday on Saturday, June 13 and reported that she had a very nice day although she celebrated it in a rather unique way by backing the family car out of the garage without opening the door. It can be done you know! Mr. and Mrs. Dino Owen and baby, Jesse, of Dorr were Sunday guests of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Frederickson. Mrs. Byron Hesterly attended a baby shower for Mrs. Bruce Stout (Barbara Hesterly) at Grand Ledge Saturday afternoon. Last Wednesday Mrs. Kennard Schaibly of Edmore spent the forenoon with her sister-in-law, Mrs. Hildred Hesterly. At noon Mr. Schaibly with his brother, George, and Don Ellsworth, also from Edmore attended the Missionary Society dinner at Kilpatrick Church. In the afternoon the men went to Hastings where Mrs. Ellsworth was spending the day with an aunt at the Provincial House. Mr. and Mrs. James Potter and family of South Main St. Woodland were Sunday evening guests of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Potter, or homemade ice cream. Little Vicki Makley spent the weekend with her grandpa and grandma Lloyd Makley and her father, Ron. Friday, Mrs. Grace Schaibly of Waukegan, III., came back to spend some time with her mother, Mrs. Roy Norton, and her sister and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Smith returned to their home at Torch Lake. Sat­ urday Steve Bearden, Mrs. Norton's great grandson, and lady friend of Birmingham visited the ladies. Also on Saturday afternoon Pastor and Mrs. Paul Howell of the Hastings Seventh Day Adventist Church, their daughter and two grandchildren were callers at the Norton home and Rev. Howell and daughter played several numbers on their violins for Mrs. Norton. In the evening. Rosalie and Bill Barry were callers. Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Engle of Hastings were Sunday afternoon callers. Mr. and Mrs. James Hostetler and Darlene drove to Pekin, DI., Saturday and were guests of their daughter in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Larry Fester. They drove in a heavy downpour all the way and were very glad they were going west instead of east. Although they drove through numerous places where the water was over the road on Highway 80 there was no place where they were stopped by it. On the east bound lane however it was a different story. There water over the road was so deep that cars trying to go throught had their motors flooded out and the cars were lined up behind them for as much as five miles with no place to go. That was in the Chicago area. Saturday evening they attended a shower for the newlyweds held in the Union Hall given by the groom’s family and friends. Sunday they accompanied the Feasters to Church at the First Baptist Church of Pekin. Coming home Sunday afternoon, they took Highway 30. the historic Lincoln Highway, and stopped briefly at Mike and Lori's aoartment in Dyer, Ind. Last Thursday dinner guests of Mrs. Hildred Hesterly was her son, Ronald, his son, I nsom, his son-in-law, Tony Kidder all of Hastings and George Schaibly, local. Ransom, who had been helping his father on his painting jobs, was planning to leave the last of the week for Tulsa, Okla, to join his older brother, Jim in his landscaping business. Mark Niethamer spent the weekend in Ohio and saw the results of the tornado which completely destroyed a town in the northern part of the state Sunday. His description was “It was terrible!” The report we got unofficially was that every building in the town was destroyed or badly damaged. We’re doing a lot of complaining about “so much rain"! Let’s just thank the Lord that He has spared us so far from a tornado. St. Paul and Minneapolis had one, too. Rev. Clinton BradleyGalloway, who has served as pastor of Woodland United Mehtodist Church and the Welcome Corners United Methodist Church for the past years, preached his farewell sermon at both churches Sunday morning, June 14. The people of the Woodland Church had a fellowship dinner Sunday honoring the pastor and his wife and a farewell reception followed. The Bradley-Galloways have both made many staunch friends during the years they have lived and labored here and the separation is hard on all of them. Rev. Bradley-Galloway has been transferred to Lansing to the Potter Park United Methodist Church which is both a promotion and a challenge. It is an inner-city church which in a way one could say has seen better days. Once a prosperous and growing church, a highway was put through that area and many of the long time and faithful members moved elsewhere. The value of property dropped and many of those who took their places in the neighborhood did not take their places in the church and while there are still great possibilities there is also much work ahead to save the church and build it up. And the powers that be seemed to feel that “Clint" as he is familiarly called here was the man for the job. The Pastor's responsibility to the Lansing church began on June 16 but because of a pre-arranged commitment he is obligated to load a group of the young people of the Welcome Corners Church on the back­ packing trip next week. The Bradley-Galloways are not moving to their new home until June 29th. The best ■wishes and prayes of a host of friends will go with them into their new home and work. The new pastor of the Woodland Welcome Corners Church will be Rev. Constance Heffelfinger, who comes from Detroit to assume her new responsib­ ilities here.

Free nursery care provided? Grace Wesleyan Ladies Hear About Mission By VICTOR SISSON On Sunday evening, March 15, Rev. and Mrs. Bonnaco of lhe Mel Trotter Rescue Mission of Grand Rapids were guest speakers of the Missionary Society of Grace Wesleyan Church.. Rev. Bonnaco told a brit, history of this seventy year old work and showed many slides of the work being done there. At the close of the message he gave the U.M.S. ladies and everyone else there a cordial invitation to visit the Mission anytime they could. He had made the Rescue Home so interesting that a trip down there had been looked forward to ever since. Last Tuesday morning, the regular meeting for lhe day group, was set aside for this trip. About 9 o'clock that morning several of the ladies, bearing a large assortment of good used clothes, which the Mission can always use, left lhe church in two cars for the city and a very interest­ ing and enjoyable day. Arriving at lhe Mission about 10:30 which is now housed in a formei hotel building in down town Grand Rapids, they were greeted by members of the staff who explained the purpose and the work of lhe organizaticn. They were then taken on a guided tour of the large building. They visited lhe spacious kitchen where substantial meals are prepared' for many unfortunates every day, the dining room where the meals, are served, the large meeting room where religious services are held, the rooms where the permanent residents live and the dormitory like rooms for the transients who spend a night then go on their way - where? Tuesday was the regular day for the Ladies Sewing Circle to meet and a group was there mending, patching and sewing. Some of the clothing brought in is sold, and to those who can't buy but need, some is given. No one in need is ever denied. The second and fourth Friday of each month the store is open. Rev. Mel Trotter was Superintendent of the Mission for 40 years, and thousands of unfortunate men passed through its doors. No one was turned away and both body and soul were fed. Many down-andouters found the Lord there and lhe same work is still carried on. Residents at the Mission must attend at least four services a week. The Mission receives no financial aid from any governmental agency and the work is supported by gifts from friends who believe in that type of work. The ladies who made the trip to Grand Rapids last Tuesday were: Janet Whinnen, Ethel Price, Marian Higgins, Winifred * Cheney, Cecil Hoos, Lucille Vaughn (and grandson) Elsie Kidder, Doris Daugherty and Frances Bennett.

Population is about 1,300. Once it was the biggest city in the state. There was talk of making it the Capitol, but economics and Mother Nature conspired to save the Copper Country's natural beauty from everlasting civilization. Calumet is famous for copper, the Lake Superior shoreline, and prehistoric mine pits. It's also the home of Notre Dame football hero George Gipp. Gipp died of complications from a severe case of tonsillitus and pneumonia near the end of the 1920 football season. Two ND teammates from Calumet accompanied the legend home for burial. One was "Ojay" Larson, a Calumet High School football great who found obscurity within a few years. The other was Heartley "Hunk" Anderson. Anderson played guard for Notre Dame at 170 pounds. Nights he coached the professional South Bend Arrows football team to a 10-0 record in 1920, and a 9-1 record in 1921. Pros often hired college players to coach in those days. Anderson never saw the Arrows play. He was playing for ND while the Arrows met pro opponents. Anderson played fullback at Calumet and led his team to a 1916 Copper-Iron Country championship. He played semi-pro football in the UP and drove an automobile for a wealthy mine owner after graduation. In spare time he hung out at Calumet pool halls. George Gipp convinced Anderson to meet ND coach Knute Rockne. Gipp took the plunge and travelled by train to South Bend. By the time he arrived he was ready to play football. If he was taken aback by Gipp's opening remark, he never let it show. "We don't need a fullback, we’ve got Curiy Lambeau - what we need is a guard," Rockne said. Wrthout a second’s hesitation Anderson answered, "I'm the best damn guard you'll ever see." And he was. Wrthout Gipp many believed Notre Dame would fatter in 1921. Anderson and his team mates proved skeptics wrong. Notre Dame met Kalamazoo College (a football powerhouse then) opening the season. Wham-bang. ND 56, Kalamazoo zip. The Irish blasted DePauw 57-10, then lost to Iowa 10-7, in the first meeting of the 2 teams. Returning to Chicago enroute to South Bend the team broke up in small groups to avoid confronting area fans. South Bend was stunned. But the Irish were fighting mad. Purdue was victimized, 33-0, when Anderson destroyed their nerve, blocking 2 punts and scoring 2 touchdowns in 2 minutes. ND was undefeated the rest of the season. Anderson is fam- us at ND for a statement made at a wild pep rally before the Army game in 1921. "You do the best you can,” Anderson grinned, "And I'll do the best we can." The mob went nuts. Notre Dame 28, Army 0. Anderson graduated with a degree in Civil Engineering and joined Rockne as assistant coach at ND. Weekends he played pro football for the Chicago Bearer opening holes for Red Grange. He weighed in at 175 and made all-pro 5 consecutive years. "Pound for pound," wrote Grantland Rice, "Hunk was the toughest football player I ever saw." Anderson K,/ed his work. HunK Anderson coached ND for three years after Rockne's death. He compiled season records of 6-2-1, in 1931; 7-2 in 1932; then a disastrous 3-5-1 record in '33. He left ND to coach successfully at North Carolina State, the University of Michigan (line coach) and the Detroit Lions (line coach). In 1940 he joined the Chicago Bears as line coach. The Bears won national championships in 1940 and 1941 under George Halas who then joined the Navy. Anderson and co­ coach Luke Johnson took the Bears to the top of the NFL in 1943. Anderson stayed with the Bears until retirement to Florida in 1951. He was a frequent summer visitor to the Michigan Copper Country until he died in early 1978. Anderson is famous as inventor of the Red Dog - a defensive play that had as much impact on football as the forward pass. He was known throughout the game as a smart, shrewd coach and a rough, tough player. I don't know the moral of this story. Maybe it's this: Those who flame brightly, briefly - then die, are often remembered ala George Gipp. Those who live, accomplish, contribute - are too often forgotten. By GEORGE HUBKA The roar of V-24 and turbine-powered tractors came alive at the US131 Martin Dragway Saturday evening as the Michigan Tractor Pullers NTPAapproved pull went off after special grading nd track preparation. With a grader and a jet engine dryer, officials got the track into shape after the rains, and the program started after a delay. In the 9,000 pound Super Stock class, Ezra Dunn of rural Battle Creek pulled down a fourth place finish among seven tractors from Michigan, Ohio and Ontario, Canada. The class was won by Jerry Van Dorpe of Charlotte with his 5,500 Ezra Dunn of rural Battle Creek placed fourth in the 9,000 pound super stock class of tractors Saturday at US 131 dragway.

Also featured during the evening were four-wheel drive modified pickups, fit­ ted with special tires so they have an awful lot of rubber on the ground. Mini-mods were pulled as one of the evening’s classes. Entering this class was Doug Miller of Middleville, during his entry, “Big Foot."

The Hastings Banner “Barry County s Largest Newspaper” Perhaps Their Best Ever By HUGH FULLERTON "Fiddler on the Roof" is another hit for True Grist. In my opinion, it may be the best production ever produced by the Homer Dinner theater. Fiddler is a big production on any stage. I have seen three versions of it, including the movie, and it fills any stage or screen. Yet True Grist has done it on a very small stage, without giving the feeling that anything has been lost. If anything, the small stage and closeness of the audience magnify the characters bigger-than-life. Tevye, theJewish milkman who is th? center of everything, is magnificent. At TG, he is played by Mark Andrew Kath, a big bear of a man who gets the most out of almost every line. Most of the major characters are first-rate, and many of the minor ones, as well. It would be impossible to note all the good things about all the actors, but we can single out a handful for special mention. Loma Winslow is Yente, the match­ maker, the old woman who goes around arranging marriages. She has all the necessary Jewish inflections and gestures which should go with the part. Neal Bearman is perfect as Motel, the timid tailor who hopes to marry Tevye's eldest daughter. Surprisingly, he can sing as well, as he does one of the musically more demanding songs in the show (which I have often heard sung flat by others). Every person who sings a solo has an excellent voice. That is hard to do in a small theater company, where you may have to sacrifice singing voice for some other talent. The music of Fiddler is as familiar to me as The Star Spangled Banner, but I did not hear one wrong note in the opening night performance. A pleasant surprise is the dancing-diff­ icult to plan and execute on a small stage. It would be easy to choreograp.'. Fiddler with very simple dances, for non-dancers. Instead, True Grist has recruited some fine young actors and actresses with dance training, and given them some routines which make use of that talent. The set was interesting, too. Very cleverly designed so that little is earned on and off, the set opens up like a set of closets and cabinets to reveal new sets for particular scenes. Since the scenes take place in a variety of surroundings, this took a lot of careful planning. Opening night appeared to be a sellout, which is unusual for True Grist. But Fiddler is a popular show, and the TG regulars are eager to see what can be done at their favorite playhouse. True Grist is just a pleasant drive from Hastings. You can easily leave after work and be there in plenty of time to enjoy a relaxed dinner before curtain time. Because Owner-producer Jim Miller knows that Fiddler is bound to be a hit, he has extended the run to 12 weeks, nearly double the usual length, and added a Saturday matinee.

Another irresponsible act on the part of Radant, Sunior, Dear.. Kiel, Bell and Gordon; rammed right thru over objections of a lot of home folks. You bet the Big SIX had lots of support of Senior Citizens that eat and ride, then spend their winters in Florida. Those SIX need replacing as soon as possible. Sunior told Ethel Boze he voted yes because of Gray’s constant bitching over transportation system. Bull. Sunior you have lied to me before and on Regional Government in April you pulled the same thing. Vote no first on a motion, then when the chips are down you join your buddies and vole yes. Hell, no wonder they had to go out of town to get a Police Chief. Radant is rationalizing his actions with an article in the Battle Creek Enquirer. He says it would be a waste of taxpayers money to recall anyone. To recall him and the other 5 would be a savings of money in the long run. Folks, just drop a letter to anyone who advertises on his radio station that you won't trade there. Radant knows economics, his own money anyway, (other people's money is to spend, he thinks). Dean I hav known 24 years and am not proud of it. I don’t recall Indiana's loss our gain with him in our midst. I’ve had a business deal with him years ago and he was one of Algonquin Lakes School Board Kings also. I know Dick all too well. We have the Barry County Road Commission in bad shape. Locally, they have been cut $200,000 out of a budget and also lost $177,030 in last quarters state gas tax. Don't hollar at the holes in the roads. NO MONEY! Bus voters, bus enthusiasts and anyone who doesn’t know, this is the same gas tax that you are greedily taking, whether you need it or not, for your transit system. The Sheriffs Department is at rock bottom right now. How can they be cut more? le!l your Commissioners they need money. Remember Senior Citizens need more protection than the rest. Proven fact. If they want to cut, rescind the last raise for department heads. The six commissioners would donate their wages to show good faith. Commission on Aging personnel and Social Services can be included. Hoare, defeated in the last election, was at the meeting with all her venom directed at Hermenitt. People down in PrairieviUe knew what they were doing to vote her out. Too bad she has to be appointed to Commission on Aging. The Bix Six takes care of their losers. Wonder if she was paid to go to Grand Rapids to see Reigle and plea for money by Kent County. A little note for you money beggers. Today ONE out of SEVEN dollars in tax receipts to Washington goes for INTEREST. Sad! Ritter of Social Services pushed the bus system also. Big deal, new building in one extreme corner of town. Did they ever wonder how people would get there. No. because it's full time duty •• to spend money one way or another and protect their jobs. I sincerely believe the only way for Barry County to be returned to a sane way of being governed is to go back to the supervisors of each town .nip running the business of the county. We would need petitions for . resolution to be passed so it could be placed on the ballot ar I voted on. After a positive vote, then 2 years later we would be governed by true representatives instead of 6 people that shouldn't be in government in the first place. Yes friends, this is a sorry situation. Sincerely, Donald Johnson P.S. Hoare, Barry County gas tax dollars should be spent on the fixing of our roads and NOT on a new bunch of busses that we don't need. Ask The Governor Question: You have said you support and encourage the tourism industry. What spedal summer events does Michigan have to offer tourists and vacationers? Governor: In addition to Michigan's beautiful water­ ways and natural attractions, there are enough activities to keep a tourist busy from now until fall. Both small towns and larges cities host a wealth of festivals and events which are fun and interesting. Although the Holland Tulip Festival and the Alma Highland Festival took place in May, listed below are a few highlights for the summer months: June 20-28: World Hot Air Balloon Championship, Battle Creek; • July 5-11: National Cherry Festival. Traverse City; July 11-19: National Blue­ berry Festival, South Haven; July 17-19: 200 Years of Fort Mackinac, Mackinac Island and Mackinaw City. August 19-22: U.S. Cheer­ leaders National Grand Championships, Lansing Civic Center. August 20-September 7: Michigan Stale Fair, Detroit. August 22: Howell Melon Festival, Howell. September 4-7: Michigan Peach Festival. Romeo. September 7: Mackinac Bridge Walk, St. Ignace to Mackinac City. September 11-13: Wine Festival, Paw Paw. September 12-13: Old Car Festival, Greenfield Village, Dearborn. More information on the hundreds of art. music, sporting events, Detroit's ethnic festivals and other events may be obtained from the Michigan Travel Bureau. Department of Commerce. Lansing, Michigan 48909. Question: Is the Upper Peninsul- suffering from the same economic problems that we are in lower Michigan? Governor: Some sections of the Upper Peninsula have experienced similar problems of a depressed economy, but recent events have sounded an optimistic note in two traditional Upper Peninsula industriesmining and forestry. I recently participated in the groundbreaking for a $483 million Champion International pulp mill facility at Iron Mountain which will require 2,000 construction workers and 350 permanent jobs. On the same day, the White Pine Copper mile began a $78 million expansion which will create 500 new jobs. To put the projects in perspective, the investment is comparable to Detroit's Renaissance Center. Earlier this year, the Mead Corporation began a $285 million operation in Escanaba. These events, in addition to an expanding tourist industry, promise renewed economic development in the Upper Peninsula. Pols Completes Avionics Staff Sgt. Jeffrey P.

In the past, those who made such sales, especially to relatives, were required to charge a 6 percent minimum interest rate. If a lower rate of in teres, was charged, the IRS would refigure the interest at a 7 percent rate. This refiguring process, according to Dr. Myron Kelsey, Extension Farm Management Special­ ist at Michigan State University, had the effect of decreasing the sale price and increasing the interest income. This shift resulted in more of the proceeds of the sale being taxed at the higher ordinary income rate, rather than at the lower capital gains rate. Last fall the IRS announced a new minimum interest rate of 9 percent, and a new refiguring rate of 10 percent if the actual rate is lower than 9 percent. The U.S. Congress stalled the implementalior. of these new rates at that time. However, as of July 1, 1981 the new rates will finally take effecl according to the IRS. Individuals desiring to make installment sales to relatives at an interest rate lower than 9 percent should complete contracts before the July 1, 1981 deadline. Quick action will enable them to avoid a potentially, higher tax bill or higher interest rales which may put purchases of family property out of the reach of loved ones. Cooperative Ext.

Saturday and Sunday, May 23 and 24, The Eagles Motorcyde Club of Middle­ ville went to Grattan to flag motorcycle road races at the Gratton raceway. The track is 2’4 miles of hilly, crooked pavement, where racers reach speeds over 130 miles per hour on the straightaway. There are 10 "corners,” some of which are not located on a corner or curve, al least 2 flag persons man every corner. One mans the phone connecting all corners, one handles the flags and others alternate as needed. The three flags used to warn racers of conditions ahead are solid yellow held still for bike down, going slow, or debris on the track. Waving yellow, track blocked. White with red cross, ambulance on track. Red and yeL'ow, oil or water on track. Twenty six Eagles members arrived at the track at 8:00 Saturday morning. We were told our duties and how to use the flags. Then the race started asked which was knew the most about motorcycle racing and answered with The state beverage of Massachusetts is cranberry juice. Texas was named af­ ter an Indian word meaning “friends." David Merck, Barry County Agriculture Agent, warns of a serious outbreak of armyworms in a no-till cornfield planted in wheat stubble. In some areas, cornstalks have been reduced to a stump. A serious infestation was also found in a wheat field. Much of that field has been completely defoliated and the worms were feeding ->n the wheal heads as well. There is danger of the worms spreading, and it is critical that farmers check their fields. Infestation can occur anywhere, and occurence in any particular area is unpredktible. Although Merck says the army worms more commonly begin in grassy areas, Merck warns all farmers to be on the alert for armyworm infestat ion. In checking for army­ worms Merck suggests looking for leaves with feedng damage from the margins to the inside. Look also for droppings which look like green sawdust. The worms themselves hide in the upper layer of soil near the base of the plants. Feeding generally occurs at night, so worms will probably not be observed above ground during the day, and checks should be made at dusk or at night. The armywork is a dark, hairless caterpillar with a light stripe down both sides, about 3/4 inch long. Early control is critical. Treatment is warranted if 3 or more worms are observed per corn plant. Different treatment is needed for various crops. Merck says that if army­ worms are discovered, or for further information, on armyworms or any other suspected infestation, feel free to call him at the Barry County Extension office at 948-8039. Merck reports some spotty damage of wheat in the county, some damaged by wind and recent rains, but there is no great concentration of damage anywhere in the area. Discuss Support A group of interested people met June 15 after the Hastings Saxons Athletic Boosters meeting to discuss the fund raising drive to support athletics In the Hastings Schools for the year 1981-82.

Suit was filed against them by MIC Limited of Durand, owners of the Hastings Drive In Theater, when the Zoning Board of Appeals failed to grant the requested variance to reconstruct an outdoor movie screen at the drive-in. The original screen burned last fall and appear­ ed to be a total loss. When Barry County Zoning Board of Appeals denied the variance, MIC filed suit, contending there ' was “no basis in law" for such a decision. James Theophelis of Lansing, attorney for MIC Limited, intently questioned the 6 members of the Zoning Board of Appeals who were present the night the zoning variance was denied. Trial began June 5, adjourned to June 19, and continued June 23. Theophelis previously questioned each as to their personal feelings, whether they had discussed the matter with other board members prior, to the meeting, and which part of the zoning ordinance each member used on which to base his decision in the matter. Theophelis also questioned each member of the Board as to whether or not they recalled Board member Ron Coats making a statement to the effect that a vigilante committee should be formed to rid the community of the theater and maybe the vigilante committee should burn it down. Each board member testified at to what part of the ordinance he used on which to base Ms decision and none recalled Coats making a statement regard­ ing a vigilante committee. A tape recording of the previously denied conversation was offered as evidence Friday, June 19, but because Defense Councel had not had the opportunity to examine and study the tape, and because no transcript was provided by Attorney Theophelis, the trial was postponed to June 23, when Theophelis was provided transcripts. On Tuesday, June 23, Defense Attorney Joel Krissoff of the firm of Baxter and Hammond of Grand Rapids, representing the insurance company covering county officials, stated that in reading the transcripts, parts doesn't agree with parts of the tape itself and he asked the court to admit the tape itself which was done. The tape was then played to the court, and testimony was concluded. Closing arguments were then heard. Attorney Theophelis reminded the court that records and minutes of meetings were very brief. He recalled the admission of the defense that it was improper to deny the variance under 82 and 83 of the zoning ordinance, and “admission in and of itself is sufficient for the court to grant the variance," as requested by MIC Limited in their request for a Writ of Mandamus. Theophelis continued, stating the court must consider the factors taken into consideration for denial. Defense previously admitted that 2 of 3 sections of the zoning law did not apply. And referring to the third, Theophelis stated it was "impossible to property interpret the 50% clause." Theophelos said that two figures were submitted on record, those being the insurance check which was uncontroverted, and the cost submitted by MIC Limited of between $14,000.00 and $16,000.00 to replace the screen. An assessed value was given, not by a contractor, but by Linda Kelly of Barry County Equalization Department. Theophelis stressed those are only the figures discussed on record. Farther, in spite of the fact that Defense stipulated that zoning ordinance sections 8.2 and 8.5 did not apply, evidence shows that some members of the board still believe they do. Hastings Banner Sevoted to the Interests of Berry County Since 1858 Vollla,N«. 30 Price 20e HutiM*. MichifM Ex Middleville Chiof Sentenced Jail, Fined of the Hastiags Drive b Theater. The former chief of police of Middleville has been sentenced to two weeks in jail and ordered to pay $7333 in restitution, fines and court costs after pleading no contest to fraud charges levied by Attorney General Frank J. Kelley and State Treasurer Loren E. Monroe. Clifford Norton, chief of the Middleville Police Department for about seven years before resigning in March, 1980, was sentenced by Barry Circuit Judge Richard E. Robinson. Judge Robinson sentenced Norton to three years probation including Lansing represents MIC Again addressing the unreasonabless of section 83 of the zoning ordinance, Theophelis quoted case law which states "evidence showed unreasonableness of an Ordinance, the Writ of Mandamus could' serve as a remedy.” He quoted further case law involving Dusdal which states...'A prior non­ conforming use is a vested right to continue use prior to establishment of the zoning ordinance." Theophelis emphasized, “No ordinance, reasonable or not, can deny the owner of vested right." Theophelis further stated that the decision in this case should be based not on wjfret the outcome should bdbn. but to set aside the emotional issue and look at the record which clearly indicates several areas of concern by the Board of Appeal. Issues of whether or not there’s been a misrepresentation, whether there have been conversations about the theater prior to the vote and whether the court decides there has been bias and prejudice prior to the vote should be considered by the court. Theophelis concluded, stating that the credibility of certain witnesses certainly could be questioned by the court, and he reserved the right to argue on extemporaneous matters. Defence Attorney Krissoff opened his remarks stating “there is no question that all of the discussion and investigation address cost anaylsis, and the Board exercised discretion in making its decision.” Krissoff argues that no evidence was produced as to the 50% clause by MIC, as to the value of the screen after being rebuilt and he said the Board actually went beyond what they had to do by getting information from the Equalization office. Krissoff further argued that the burden is on MIC to show any unlawful act by the Board, and cetainly ample evidence to support the Board's decision to deny the variance was made. Theophelis argued that the position taken by the Defense is a complete reversal from their original position. Regarding the 50% clause, Theophelis said, "we’ve all agreed that compliance to an unreason­ able ordinance cannot be required. "Proofs have shown that the section of 8.3 of the zoning ordinance, with literal interpretation, is an unreasonable burden and impossible to meet.” Theophelis stated that for the theater to operate, it needs the speaker poles, the projection booth, and a screen. Theophelis submitted that there has been no showing that the screen struction will exist any longer because it’s only 1 unit of the total needed to operate the business. Further, Theophelis argued that when Krissoff stated the Board used discretion in making their decision, Theophelis reminded the court that the Board doesn’t have the right to exercise discretion - it must follow the ordinance if the subject meets the requirements and not base a decision on discretion. Theophelis addressed the credibility of the tape recording. He said he offered the transcript. If Defense wanted to argue the transcript, he could have submitted his own, but has not done so. The tape is unequivical regarding the vigilante matter, and subsequent statements. The tape shows there was a conversation that was previously denied. “No one would forget such a conversation by a public official at a public meeting,” said Theophelis. Theophelis concluded his previous positions and reminding the court that, “we all have a responsibility to protect the integrity of the legal system.” Following a brief recess, Judge Hudson Deming addressed, the court. In reviewing the testimony, exhibits and tape, Deming recalled the testimony of all the board members stating their specific reasons as to why they voted as they did. Regarding the tape recording, Deming said, “it’ll take someone with better ears than mine to decipher what’s on that tape." Deming said he was satisfied that the Board of Appeals acted with due deliberation in this matter, ‘and court v'ould not substitute its opinion for that of a body such as the Board of Appeals in this case.” Deming denied the Writ of Mandamus and no damages were awarded; After adjournment. Attorney Theophelis stated, “We will make a decision in the next several days, but if I was making the decision, there would definiately be an appeal." When asked what other action might be taken, Theophelis stated, “I would also consider several other actions that are possible, such as Civil Rights Action and action on the part of the Attorney General.” David Koons, Barry County Building Officer and Assistant Zoning Administrator, talks with Judge Robinson ordered Norton to pay $3,083 in restitation, $2300 in fines and $2JXX) in court coots.

Circuit Court Judge Hudson Deming granted a temporary injunction enjoining MIC Limited, its agents and employees from • continuing to use the portable structure attached to the semi-trailer which is presently being used as a movie screen at the Hastings Drive In Theater Tuesday, June 23. Suit was filed against MIC Limited by Winifred Keller, Director of the Barry County Planning/Zoning office after a portable screen was constructed on the property following denial of the zoning variance to permit a permanent structure. Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Dale Crawley represents Keller in her capacity as Planning/Zoning Director and James Theophelis of Lansing represents MIC Limited. Keller was the first witness and testified that the portable structure violates the ordinance, violates the set-back requirements, no zoning compliance permit was secured, no proper building permit was received, and the StoD Work Order was disobeyed. The theater is located iu a C-3, heavy commercial, zone and dirve-in screens are not ailowedjn that zone unless a variance is secured. David Koons, Barry County Building Officer and Assistant Zoning Administrator testified. He identified pictures taken of the drive in theater property when construction of the portable screen began. Follow-up pictures were identified as represent­ ing the existing condition at the theater as of the court date. Koons testified that he delivered a copy of a Correction Notice to the screen site, and personally delivered a letter to the 9 a.m, to 6 p,nt. and Pure Country Show 2 BIG SHOWS Saturday JULY 25th 6:30 and 9:30 p.m. pppearing at the...

Attorney Theophelis argues that the law allows for temporary structures to be placed on property, and those that can be excluded are those that conflict with public health, safety and welfare. Theophelis further argued that every criteria of C-3 zoning district has been met. In addition, the court must consider there are no toning areas in the county where drive-in screens are allowed. He asked that the injunction not be allowed by the court. Judge Hudson Deming addressed the court. “The court is convinced that the structure is a screen upon which pictures are shown.” Testimony revealed that you can’t have a drive in theater in a C-3 area, and there is a drive in operating there. According to Deming, under Uses of land, if the party is in violation of local ordinance, it is declared to be a nuisance. He further stated that in order for the structure to exist, it must have a permit and none was issued. Deming then granted a temporary injunction enjoining MIC Limited, its agents and its employees from continuing to use the structure attached to the trailer.

Your Muser and another child (my seven-year-old daughter) saw the Ringling Brothers, Barnum & Bailey circus in Kalama­ zoo last week, and it was hard to tell who enjoyed h more. For Beth, it was not her first circus, but rt was the biggest she has yet seen. For her dad, it was a return to memories of 35 years ago, when his dad, in turn, took him to see the Ringling Brothers circus every year. It really was a return, too. I could almost swear that some of the elephants performing in Wings Stadium, Kalamazoo, last week had been in Madison Square Garden, New York, 35 years ago. A few of the human performers looked almost that old, too. And who knows? Circus performers aren't through when they're 35 like football players. Most of the acts that I loved as a kid are virtually unchanged. The elephants still do the same things-they stand with their feet on each others back, lie down and roll over in unison, lift pretty girls on their heads. And there's still nothing like it. The trapeze artists still do somersaults in midair and never miss a pickup; the tightrope walkers still do flips and ride a bicycle; the acrobats stiH go off the teeter board and jump jp to land on top of three people stan- ig on each other’s shoulders. le clowns are still among the most enjr able acts.

Die Ringling Brothers troupe puts on a king, exciting show. The circus last nearly three hours, with one short intermission. And rt moves right along. Much of the time there are acts in all three rings at the same time, and it's more than one person can do to watch all three. At Wings, the animals wore kept out back in the arena, at least during the performance. So during the intermtsion, we took a stroll out and saw all the animals ctose-up. We were surprised that there were 20 elephants, as well as dozens of horses, and more than a dozen each of polar bears and tigers. We don't know how many people travel with the circus unit, but it has to be a couple hundreds or so. During some of the big acts, there are will over 100 performers on the floor at one time. We did miss two things from my boyhood, neither of them crucial to the circus. One was the traditional act where a tiny car-drives into the arena, and a dozen or more big clowns get out of it. They had something similar in a building, but it waan't quite the same. The other was Crackerjackl This and cotton candy were the customary treats at the circus. And while my daughter had cotton candy, we didn't see any Crackerjacks being sold. Is it still made? Anyway,it was one of the best evenings of entertainment I have seen in a long time (30 years or more?). If Ringling Brothers are back in the area next year, we'll be there. To Avoid General Cuts By WARREN M. HOYT Government Leaders Try to Solve Budget Problems Without Cuts Governor William G. Milliken and legislative leaders recently directed budget experts to pursue ways to resolve currentyear budget problems without resorting to general executive order cuts. Budget officials said avoiding general cuts would not have been posable were it not for the recently-discovered fact that income tax refunds will be about S66 m.Hion lower than earlier estimates dua to fewer property tax credits and more accurate filings of exemptions. The governor and the legislators reviewed the budget problems but left unresolved the question of whether to continue 5 percent cut in welfare grants that were imposed in June. A decision on that issue need not be made for another 10 days. Executive officials and legislators, how-e ver, disagreed on how to solve the remaining $120 million gap. Milliken is budgeting in $40 miHlon in lapses (cutting the deficit to $80 million), but legislative leaders pushed for a higher figure of $65.8 million In lapses-appropriated money returned to the general fund from various state departments. Other options to aid in balancing the budget deficit include borrowing as much as $40 million from the recreational land trust fund and delaying until fiscal 1981-82 the $18 million weekly payment to Medicaid vendors. In a positive budget message, prelimin­ ary welfare caseload figures for May showed the first significant decline in two years. Figures released by the Department of Social Services showed the caseload in May for families with dependent children dropped by about 3,700 cases and general assistance declined 2,300 case*. Die ADC total was 241,219, compared to April's figures of 244,936. The GA caseload showed a total of 112,954, compared to April's total of 115,217. Chris Kissmer, of the department's policy office, said the ADC drop was probably due to continued implementation of the state’s stepparent responsibility law. The law, which took effect in April, requires step-parents to bear financial responsibility for their stepchildren. Senate Votes to Repeel Auto Emmissions Test Program. The state Senate has voted to repeal the auto emissions testing program slated to begin In Southeastern Michigan in January. The program was begrudgingly approved last year under the threet the federal oovernmant would withhold construction permits for new Industrree kt areas not complying with the program under the Federal Clean Air Act. Permits were being sought at the time for consruction of new General Motors and Volkswagen of American planta in the eree. Senator John Hartal I D-Harpor Woods) sponsor of the repealer b«s, sold the program was "hanging over the heeds of the people in the Southeastern Michigan area" as Congress is considering repeal of the federal act. Hertel noted that even if Congreee fade to repeal the act, the Reagan administration has no intention of enforcing the provisions of the federal law. As approved last year, the program, ae a condition for registration, would require annual pollution tens on all vehicles registered in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties if the vehicles are less than eight years old. If the vehicle does not meet pollution standards, owners would be forced to make up to $50 in repairs before receiving registration clearance. Provisions of the apt could be extended to other areas in the state found to be in violation of clean air standards. Fair Entry Forms to The Newstand Price Due Next Week 3d1 S.

Sunday achodato: 8:30 Wo"h,P118*r*‘e’ ,oc CMdrm; By VICTOR SISSON As has been the custom for a number of years at Grace Wesleyan Church, two special elections are held to select two very special people who without first being nominated and with no electioneering campaigning or speech making, are chosen by secret vote. Annually, on the Sunday before Mother's Day ballots are passed out and all that day and until the dose of the Wednesday evening prayer meeting a ballot box labeled “Mother of the Year” is conspicuously displayed in the church foyer and everyone is entitled to cast one vote for the mother they feel is most deserving of that title. Later, just before Father’s Day the same procedure to select a ‘‘Father of the Year” is followed. On that Wednesday night the ballots are counted and the following Sunday the result of the election is announced. On Mother’s Day 1981, the result of the voting for Mother-of-the-Year was announced; it was a tie vote and both Marion Higgins and Linda Laubaugh were chosen. Last year Mother of the Year, Mrs. Nonna Davis placed a crown upon the head of each of the ladies and each was presented with a beautiful bonquet besides having their pictures taken. Both, ladies were very deserving of the honor. Marion who lives in the Middleville Area, is the mother of four grown children and is very regular in the church attendance. She usually has her car filled with children and young people when she drives in. She is treasurer of the School Class and haa taught a class in C.U.C. the past several years. Linda lives on McGlyn Rd., is the mother of three girls and is also very regular in church attendance. She teaches a Timothy class for new Convert*, teaches a Sunday School Him and also taught a class in C.Y.C. the past year. Last year two men were chosen as Father of the Year- Robert Britten and Rev. Leonard Davis. This year two of the younger girls, who had been told who the winner was, looked in vain up and down the pews and fmally found him hitting on the platform. He was Charles Munay who received almost a unanimous vote. Charles is the church treasurer and has had that office for years. He’s been a member of the church, is chorister for church and Sunday School and also teaches a Sunday School class. He has been Johnnyon-the-spot nearly every working day since work started on the new building on Sept. 10, 1980. He was presented with a fine Christian book for Sunday School and will have hie picture taken later. There is no salary connected with this office and no specific duties for the holder to perform. It fa an honor conferred each year upon two members of the church, a Mother and a Father and is a token of love arid respect. And it shows gratitude for extra service in the past. Methodist West Michigan Conference Concludes Reversing the arms race, licensing handgun owners, and allowing the option for abortion were among the church and society issues supported by the lay and clergy delegates during four days of meetings of the 146th West Michigan Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church just concluded in Albion.

All figures have been audited by the KDSA office with updated reports available on request. According to the KDSA Office, 39 parishes and missions have surpassed their targets for this year's Appeal in terms of amount pledged. A mission is a church or chapel without a resident priest. Commenting on this year’s Appeal, Bishop Donovan said, “I am grateful to the people of the Diocese for their strong support of KDSA;” adding that, “this generous display of faith is making it possible for the Catholic Church in southwestern Michigan to continue its mission of service to God and His people.” In Barry County, the parishes of St. Rose of Lima, Hastings, St. Ambrose, Delton, and Our Lady of Great Oak, Lacy, all exceed­ ed their targets.

Therefore, Dr. Billy Graham has arranged to • show the two hour- long 1 movie of Miss ten Boom's book "The Hiding Place," which tells the remarkable story of her fight against the Nazi extermination of Dutch Jews of World War H. It was to be televised in our area on prime time for four nights. Two of these four nights were June 22 and 23. The other two are just ahead of us. The first of these will be Thursday evening, June 25, at 9 p.m. over channel 10 from Lansing and uie last will be Saturday June 27 at 7 p.m. It is suggested that you nake this a TV party, invite your friends and neighbors to watch this two hour long production, serve some light refreshments, take up an offering and send it to Rev.

Real vest 1-800-442-8364 Public Notices Summertime Reading New books at the Hastings Public Library this week include fiction and a wide variety of nonfiction books, a few on cookery at home and in the outdoors, as well as growing better food by composting, are being featured by reviews. COOKING FOR YOUR HYPERACTIVE CHILD, by June Roth, is based on some of the latest concepts in dealing with the problems of hyperactivity. Its chapters are packed with information on how pioneering doctors are treating the disruptive child through special dietary regulations; explanations of good-sensitivity tests; advice on how to eliminate food additives from family meals; what foods are natural salicylates; and what hidden ingredients may cause an allergic epidemic. There are menus for wellbalanced family nutrition, and for the hyperactive child’s rotary diet. It has more than 200 artificial-additive-free recipes. LADIES* HOME JOURNAL ADVENTURES IN COOKING is a unique, exciting guide to the culinary world by the editors of LHJ. Here are several cookbooks under one cover, plus a lifetime cook­ ing course. With line draw­ ings and full-page color photos, each recipe explains not just what to do, but why. The book also has a vast treasury of information on menu planning, shopping, cooking for two, homefreez­ ing, and step-by-step party planning. The book was a gift to the library. Another gift is HORSE­ BACK VACATION GUIDE, by Steven D. Price. It blazes a clear trail to a variety of horseback vacation opportunities in the United States, Canada, and on the Continent. Specific and practical chapters deal with pack-tripping, trail rides, dude ranching, foxhunts, and outstanding rodeos, shows and race meets, plus information on summer riding camps for the young JUNK FOOD, FAST Gilmer Backs GOP Tax Plan State Representative Donald H. Gilmer (R-Augwta) announced his support for a Republican proposal for an immediate $560 million cut in property and business taxes. Labeled the “20-20-10” plan, it provides a direct 20 percent exemption for all property in the residential and agricultural classes,, allows renters tn assume a tax credit equivalent of 20 percent of their rent and cuts the Single Business Tax. The House Republican legislative proposal determined by a majority causus vote, provides a $480 million cut in properly tax and an $80 million cut in the Single Business Tax with no offsetting tax increase. Local units of government would not lose any revenue under the oroposal, and all costs of the tax cut would be shouldered the state. According to Gilmer, the cut in the business tax gives relief to small, nonprofitable and new business, takes workers and unemployment compensation out of the tax base liability and cuts the rate. It would take effect in January, 1982. The accumulate the cuts, lhe Republicans have also proposed cuts to welfare providers and recipients, adult education, mental health and forced government lapses of funds. “It is simple, straight-forward, tough, realistic and fair proposal," Gilmer said. “It provides real tax relief and will not unfairly reduce essential state programs. For instance, even with a further five percent cut in welfare, our ADC average regular grant would be 18 percent higher than surrounding midwest states.” The proposal is a legislative one, which does not require a public referendum. While it is too late to alter 1981 summer tax bills, a special 20 percent credit would be available on 1981 state income tax returns. The 20 percent exemption would first appear on the winter, 1981 property tax bills. The proposal also restricts increases in property tax which occurs through increased assessments. Local untis could not benefit from any increased yield without public notice, a special hearing and a positive vote to levy property tax living any increased yi^d over the previous year. “We are calling on Senate and House Democrats to finally wake up and accept the fact that the people want and deserve a major tax cut now. The Republicans know what the people of this state want and we intend to give it to them," Gilmer stated.

HEALTH FOOD; WHAT AMERICA EATS AND WHY, is by Lila Perl, who uses a light tough to make some serious points about American eating patterns. Eating is big business, and twentieth­ century technology has affected the food industry, and recently changed American eating habits. Facts and fancies of the health food movement, a comparison of meat-eater and vegetarian diets, a complete list of common food additivies, 30 healthy natural food recipes, a -metric conversion table, and an index are all part of this third social history cookbook by Miss Perl. Earlier she wrote SLUMPS, GRUNTS, AND SNICKERDOODLES: WHAT COLONIAL AMERICA ATE AND WHY. and HUNTER'S STEW AND HANGTOWN FRY: WHAT PIONEER AMERICA ATE AND WHY. THE COMPLETE WILDERNESS PADDLER, by James Davidson and John Rugge, gives “for the first time in one book, all the information that every canoeist • novice or veteran needs.” Not only how to find a river and research it by map techniques, how lo recruit the right partners and how to outfit, and much more in text and diagrams, but also planning menus, determining quantities, preparing and packing of foods, dehydrated and freeze-dried foods, garbage disposal, and washing dishes are covered. THE COMPLETE BOOK OF COMPOSTING, by J-I. Rodale and the staff of ORGANIC GARDENING AND FARMING MAGAZINE, was bought at a garage sale, and in 1007 pages tells how to do it. “Compost is the core, the essential foundation of natural gardening and farming. It i> the heart of the organ**concept." Composting i*» not new nor revolutions v, but a historically important practice of returning organic matter to the soil, “....nothing is more fund­ amental to man's prosperity - to civilization itself - than a lasting, productive agri­ culture." The book includes a word about increasing lhe quality of foods by use of compost, and even how food is a factor in .variations of racial physique. Completes Basic Airman Kenneth A.

The three member panel said that men and women are equal when it comes to owing back payments and struck down the lav be­ cause. as written, it refers only to “fathers and hus­ bands," but not to “wives and mothers" who might be behind in payments. ■ In April, 1980, Leon Lewis of Barry County was sen­ tenced to six months in jail for felony non-support. Court records indicate - he was arrested in Arizona on a warrent charging him with leaving Michigan in March, 1971 while owing 11.944 in back support for four chil­ dren. The appeals court reversed this decision. The Appeals Court invited the Legislature to change, the law, stating, “any valid purpose served by this sta­ tute would be better served by a gender-neutral statute.' In the Lewis case, an option still exists, according to Barry County Prosecut­ ing Attorney Judy Hughes, who said, "The county has a 20-day period to consider appeal to t he State Supreme Court." If the case is appeal­ ed the Lewis case would be in limbo a while longer. If it is not appealed, the case would be dismissed. According to Prosecutor Hughes, & trial was set for next month on felony non­ support. Anolle-Piosequi (Latin for for “no prosecu­ tion) has been filed by the Prosecuting Attorney and the case dismissed. Seven felony warrants have been removed from the LEIN (Law Enforcement Informa­ tion Network) system. Mrs. Hughes also stated that she and other prosecut­ ing attorneys from other counties are contacting their respective State Represen­ tatives urging the drafting of a new felony non-support law that would be neutral in gender. Mrs. Hughes said she has written to State Representative Donald Gil­ mer asking for the drafting of a new law, “which would pass constitutional muster.** Local circuit court judges have signed a discharge order discharging those pre­ sently on probation for fel­ ony non-support. Four dis­ charges have been issued in Barry County. Prosecuting Attorney Judy Hughes emphatically stated that "the court may still enforce their court ordered support payments by con­ tempt of court proceedings." Furthermore, state Mrs. Hughes, "if a parent or responsible party is out of state, the local court may use the Uniform Reciprocal Enforcement of Support Act, which allows the court to enforce support payments by bringing actions in other, states." Hughes continued, stating, “essentially, it works by having our court certify that support is owed by a responsible party and by then forwarding to the court of jurisdiction where the responsible party lives that * certification." Mrs. Hughes explained, "that court then brings in the responsible party adn at­ tempts to enforce the sup­ port order." Service.

Faced with a payless pay­ day because of a county problem, Hastings school board members met hurridly Friday to authorize the borrowing of $200,000 on July 3, if necessary, to meet that day’s payroll. The crisis was caused by the illness of County Treas­ urer Elsie Furrow, and the consequent inability of the county to issue bonds for delinquent tax money and pay the schools their share. Mrs. Furrow's signature is, need» 320 times on the ’ bonds, which were in De­ troit while she was confined to Pennock Hospital in Has­ tings. The legal firm handling the transaction was trying to arrange to have the bonds brought to Hastings for Mrs. Furrow's signature, but the school officials were worried that the money might not be available by Friday, July 3. Faced with the possible shortfall and payless pay­ day, the board voted to authorize the school admin­ istration to borrow the $200,000 needed for up to 12 days, from the National Bank of Hastings, at a rate of 10 percent interest. If the schools get the money from the county, it will not be borrowed, and if the loan must be made, "it can be paid back at any time," according to Business Mana­ ger Nelson Allen. By Monday morning, it looked like the schools would not have to borrow the money, as it probably will be available from the county by mid-week. Over the weekend, Mrs. Furrow signed the bonds from her hospital bed, and her deputy, Doris Martin, was on her way to Detroit Monday morning to deliver the bonds to the law firm which is handling them Although it looked Mon­ day as if it would not be necessary to borrow the $200,000 this week, plans moved ahead for four more borrowings which will ta necessary later this year. In the Friday meeting, the board approved the four borrowings: $200,000 on July 17, for up to 203 days; $825,000 on Aug. 28 fdr up to 161 days; $375,000 on Sept. 11 for up to 147 day, and $882,000 on Nov. 6 for up to 91 days. The board had planned to meet this Thursday to ap­ prove these borrowings, but did it instead al the special meeting. The Hastings schools have customarily borrowed in the last half of the calendar year to tide the schools over until tax money becomes available early the following year. School Business Manager Nelson Allen was in Lansing Monday morning to walk through the paperwork on these borrowings, if neces­ sary, he would have gotten approval today for this week's loan, as well. The approval process normally takes as long as eight days, the board was told. Allen told the board Fri­ day that the annual loans have to be made somewhat earlier than usual this year, because there are three, paydays in July instead of the usual two.

The Prosecutor's Office Monday morning said the theater was operating legal­ ly since the temporary in­ junction written order has not yet been signed. Accord­ ing to Judy Hughes, Barry County Prosecuting Attor­ ney, “Any order must be approved by’ the opposing party's attorney before it is entered." The order was mailed to Attorney James Theophelils right after the hearing last Tuesday, but it has not yet been returned for the judge to sign. Clarify­ ing the matter further, Mrs. Hughes said the opposing party does not approve the substance of the injunctive order - they only approve the form, confirming what the judge said. As of Friday, June 26, Attorney James Theophelis claimed his office had not received the proposed in­ junctive order and suggest­ ed that the entry of the order be set for Wednesday, July 1, at 1:30 p.m. in Circuit Court before Judge Deming. At the same time Mrs. Hughes said that Attorney Theophelis proposes to bring a petition to stay the injunction, pending appeal.

He was 83. He was bom June 20,1898 in Buffalo, NY.; the son of George and Matilda (Schwab) Smith, and moved to the Delton area with his family when he was 9. After graduating from Hastings High School in 1917, he worked at an area brickyard. A year after his gradua­ tion, and after completing an automobile school course in Detroit, he opened his first business, a repair garage in Delton. He was awarded the Ford Motor Co. franchise in Delton in 1922, and became the youngest auto dealer in low­ er Michigan. The agency was in partnership with Frank Doster who died in 1954, and is now operated by Smith’s son, William F. Smith. When the auto agency was built, Smith purchased a 4-cylinder light plant from the Richland School to pro­ vide electricity for the busi­ ness. and also for the local barbershop, tavern, hard­ ware store and several homes. Commercial electric service was not installed in the village by Consumers Power Co. until 1924. Smith also owned the first electrically-operated radio in Delton and area residents gathered st the garage to listen to programs from a station in Pittsburgh. Smith was part owner of the Delton Hardware store from 1932 to 1949, and owned and operated Smith and Doster Farm Equip­ ment Co. from 1939 to 1972. He was a prime organizer of the Delton Fire Depart­ ment, and with two other men, built the first fire truck for the Delton area, a Model T. The men built another in 1934, and Smith served as the Fire Department’s Chief for more than 20 years. The department owned the first resuscitator in Barry County. , Smith and Doster donated most of the land for a community hall community center in 1928, and the hall was built by public subscrip­ tion and labor.

Mrs. Nelmeyer is the Recycling Centers Established A new opportunity to recycle oil is available to residents of Barry County through a cooperative program among local businesses, volunteers, West Michigan Environmental Action Council, Michigan Energy Administration and the Cooperative Extension Service. Marked with a large yellow sign in the window, collection centers are gas stations, car dealerships and auto service centers which agree to receive used oil from autos, tractors or pick-ups, and store it until it goes to the refinery for refining and reuse. The “do-it-yourself” oil changer is the person this cotai sales of motor oil lubricants. Statistics show that the “do-it-yourselfer” disposes of his/her oil primarily in their backyard, public dump, storm sewer, garbage can, empty lots, among others. Improper disposal of oil in such manner poses an environmental problem as used oil pollutes water resources through surface runoff. In cases where oil was applied to dirt roads, 29% has volatilized into the atmosphere, 70% entered the water system through surface, runoff and 1% stay­ ed within 1" of the road surface. Participation in the program is easy. Used oil can be taken in* any container that can be sealed, milk containers, or oil cans to any recycling center displaying the large yellow recycling sign.

H } W •Jr J || Take Care of Those All-Important Details Early... And Let Us Take Care of Your Stationery Needs! 1 - Week Service On Regular Orders... Faster On Rush Orders! At a special meeting of the Maple Valley Board of Edu­ cation held Monday, June 22 approval was given for a second session of driver education beginning Mon­ day, July 13. Approval was also given for the continuation of the summer vocational agricul­ ture program as slated in the master contract. A vote earlier in the evening to continue the driver educa­ tion program and not con­ tinue the vocational agricul­ ture program ended in a three “yes” and three “no” vote. Continuation of these programs was made possible through approval of the additional 1.31 mills at the June 8 meeting to support the instructional program. All members present voted in favor of continuation of both programs. Due to the failure of the June 8 millage vote for additional funds to support extra-curricular activities, the board members voted in favor of not funding any athletics but the board will allow the athletic boosters to fund the athletic program under present policy. Tom Joostbems, representing the athletic boosters, stated that he was uncertain at this time regarding the exact program the boosters could support. Representatives of the athletic boosters will be meeting with school person­ nel regarding the athletic program for the coming year, and Tom stated that a this lime their major effort will be to attempt to main­ tain the varsity and Jr. varsity programs. The school district will not be funding advisors for any extra-curricular groups in­ cluding class advisors or advisor to the Jr. ’ High Student Council. The school district will not be funding the extra allowance to the band director for outside of school activities which will have to be covered by the band boosters. A general discussion was held regard ing the proposed appropriations budget for the 1981-82 school year. The proposed budget shows the school district operating at a deficit of $89,788 with antici­ pated receipts of $3,028,081 and anticipated expendi­ tures of $3,117,869. Action will be taken on the appropriations budget at a special meeting to be held in the school administration building, Tuesday, June 30 beginning at 7 p.m. Due to the failure of the millage vote related to transportation, it is necessary to implement the pro­ posed revision in school bus routes as they were present­ ed at the board meeting Monday night. Under the new routes the maximum walking distance to meet the bus will be one mile. Stu­ dents living within the vil­ lage limits will not be picked up at the residence. There will not be any shuttle busses between the elemen­ tary buildings in Nashville. There will be one less regu­ lar route in Nashville and one less regular route in Vermontville. There will be one less shuttle route from Nashville to the Jr-Sr. High School.

I believe that rehabilitation programs should be promoted and expanded for the following reasons. We must look al each individual that enters the county jail as malajusted individuals. In some ways this individual can not adjust to the moralistic attitudes of society, “Can not do the expected thing.” We must also keep in mind that these individuals are human beings, also American citizens. This citizenship that many of our forefathers fought and gave their lives for to keep every American citizen from a despotic environment. We must not look at the short term plan. That takes a malljus ted individual that has violated a law against the norms of society and lock him in a cell and abuse his human rights. This can not be the answer. The short term plan only seems to increase the problems of the malajusted individual. This same plan does not aid in leaching this individual ways of good future WU Fifteen people have be­ come President of the U.S. with a popular vote less than 50% of the total cast. adjustments. This short term plan only projects one of the major factors in the repeating cycle, better known as the revolving door. The repeated offender, or the malajusted individual who always returns to jail, prisons or some form of controlled institution, is very costly to the tax payers. It’s not only the cost of the individual’s incarceration we must concern ourself with. If these individuals have families to support, the tax payers absorb this through ADC and welfare programs as well. However, through a positive and progressive rehabilitation program to place these individuals on a productive mold would most asuredly be less costly. With the support of the citizens of this magnificent country, the same citizens with the technology to put man on the moon, and with the sciences to explore the depths of the seas, must reach out to these individuals who have this problem of adjusting to society’s ways, guiding them through education, church, and training in a humanistic way. As in the past when the citizens of this nation unites, there arc no barriers that can stop whatever means we seek. Let the Justice Department write with the people in a new structure of sentencing, and sentence these individuals to educational programs, training programs, and community programs or a structure that will stop totalitarianism, despotism, that seems to dehumanize these malajusted individ­ uals, “Fellow Americans.” Together we can weld this revolving door shut! Inmate at the Barry Co. Jail Herbert Daniel Mills To the Editor: Congratulations Mr. John­ son! Your letter that appeared in the Banner last week continued with the same sentiment and level of feel­ ing that my wife’s letter left off with. I too agree with you that we have only begun to see the tip of the iceberg, as far as the total community expressing its displeasure with the outcome of the Public Transportation vote. 1, as a candidate for city councilman in the upcoming fall election, have become extremely conscious of the wishes of the served public in Lhes past four months. Il is clearly obvious that the majority’s consent in our community is against Public Transportation, against the operaton of explicit, porno­ graphic enterprises, and against the many Federally administered programs and Regional activities that we have foistered upon us. All three of these maladies share a common denomi­ nator of the general public at large having to pul up with their existence for the grati­ fication of only a select few, i.e. patrons of adult estab­ lishments; those most bene­ fited by Public Tr isportation, and those businessmen, government employees and minority interests, best served by the Federal pro­ gams. 1 As I said at the opening of this letter, since I have be­ gun actively seeking support and the election to a city councilman's seal, I have been aware of what the prevailing attitude of the public now is. We have already spoken out vocifer­ ously on one of the issues and for the most part, the battle is now our, namely the Drive-In Teater. Now we must continue to let our voices be heard, by exploring all the channels available to us in opposing any implementation of a Public Transportation Authority. Secondly by writ­ ing, both to the media and our various elected county officials, of our wishes not to continue participating in the Region M3 system of govern­ ment. Other counties in Michigan have dropped out of the region and the last reports I heard are that they are still open for busi­ ness as usual. Respectfully yours, Bruce C.

The general public is in­ vited for tours of the facilities from 2-6 p.m. The system serves properties along the shoreline of Gun Lake, Barlow Lake, Cobb Lake, and Payne Lake. There are currently 1200 customers, and an ad­ ditional 800 hookups are expected before November, 1981. According to Andrew Downing of the Gun Lake Area Sewer Authority, completion of the project is the result of ten years of effort and cooperation among several com­ munities, as well as Barry and Allegan county of­ ficials. "Ten years ago we recognized the need to provide sewer service to the area. We have a sizable community, located along the lake shores. There was a real need to provide a system to protect the public health and the w-'ter quality in the area." He added that the townships had no means to finance a project. “We were fortunate that Act 185 was passed, to permit the county to back the bonds for an under­ taking such as this." The total cost of the project was $25,500,000. The system serves residents in Yankee Springs and Orangeville Townships in Barry Coun­ ty, as well as Wayland and Martin Townships in Allegan County. Downing pointed out that the number of govern­ mental units involved required an. unusual amount of coordination and cooperation. “The administrative concerns were as complicated as the design in construction, if not more so." The timing of all the applications, resolutions, contracts and financing procedures had to be coordinated between four townships, two coun­ ty Boards of Public Works two county'Boards of Commissioners, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. “PR”Wilcox Thunder Cloud II Shot Suit was filed in Barry County Circuit Court by Larry Wilcox against Gene Brandt, alleging that on and prior to June 13, 1980, Wilcox owned a certain registered English coonhound named NITE Ch. “PR” Wilcox Thunder Cloud II whose value was in excess of $10,000.00. Suit alleges that on June 13,1980, Wilcox was hunting with the coonhound in a wild coon hunt under the authority of the Department of Natural Resources. Suit further alleges that sometime after 11 p.m. on June 13. and early June 14, Brandt shot the coonhound causing grevious injuries that were not mortal. Suit states that the amount in controversy exceeds $10,000.00 and Wilcox asks the court for whatever amount the Court finds appropriate. On June 19, the deadline was extended for discovery and informing other parties of the identify of expert witnesses to 5 days before the pretrial conference. Extension was granted due to the complexities in the case. Pretrial has been postponed to July 17, 1981. "Through it all, we've ap­ preciated the support of the residents and property owners in the area. We look forward to having a large number of people tour the plant on the 10th," said Downing. Hastings Banner Devoted to the Interests of Barry County Since 1858 Price 20c Hastings, Michigan Wednesday, July 1,1981 V-.l 126, No. 52, Visiting Judge Hears Zoning Challenge Suit was filed in January. 1981, in Barry County Cir­ cuit Court by Elmer and Joyce Dilno, Will and Mary Simmons. John and Alicia Abbott, Ivan and Yvonne Angus, Ken and Dorothy McCabe, asking for a de­ claration of the unuwiistitutionality of the zoning ordi­ nance, or declaration of rights under the ordinance. Attorney Steven Kantz rep­ resents the plaintiffs. Local Circuit judges dis­ qualified themselves and Judge Stuart Hoffius of Grand Rapids is hearing the case. Attorney Kantz filed writ­ ten interrogatories (ques­ tions to be answered under oath by County Commission­ ers). Barry County Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Dale Crowley represents the county. A hearing was held Thurs- day, June 25, at which time Crowley objected to some of the questions. Judge Hoffius sustained and overrulled some of Crowley’s objec­ tions. Crowley then filed a motion to strike part of Attorney Kanlz’s pleadings, stating Kantz was trying to get the court to interpret the statute. Judge Hoffius denied Crowley's motion. In a con vers lion with At­ torney Kantz, he says he is awaiting answers to the interrogatories and for fur­ ther discovery. He expects the answers within the next 20 days, at which time a decision will be made as to what further discovery is necessary. “Discovery" is a method by which one party to a law suit “discovers" certain facts known by the other party. In civil cases such as this, the procedure is conducted by attorneys who file motions before the court.

This year's event found 13 groups fea­ tured on the day-long out­ door festival near Orangville. People from many differ­ ent parts of the state turned out June 27. to hear the wide variety of gospel music. Each group was well re­ ceived during the ten and half hour event. Among the groups and individuals sharing in song were The Wasepi Bluegrass Gospel Singers; Sacrifice of Praise: Heaven Bound; The Singing Rudds from Indiana; Cain, Weller and Cain; Hoesa Humphrey and Friends; The Humblaires Quartet; also from Indiana; The Hammond Family; Da­ vid Jasperson; The Gospel Special Prosecutor Lights; Faith Line: David Post ma; and the Hallcluah Jubilaires. Held on a beautiful setting on the corner of Marsh and Keller Roads near Orange­ ville, ‘The Great Event" gave opportunities for mem­ bers of all denominations to come and fellowship toge­ ther.

Reislerer originally intend­ ed to meet with key Barry County campaign people to discuss the fund raiser, dis­ tribute tickets and campaign material, but was pleasantly surprised when a sizeable crowd of new faces turned out to hear him speak. The meeting, held at the Maple Grove Township Hal! in Nashville, Tuesday, June 30, included a presentation by Reisterer on his 5-point plan for growth oriented tax cuts, his position on revenue sharing and education. The 5-point plan included rolling back income tax from 4.6 percent to 4.4 percent; grad­ ually eliminating all intan­ gible taxes over a 5-year period; a reduction on all classes of property each year for three years, re­ quiring the State to reim­ burse each individual unit of government for revenues lost and a 10 percent boost in property tax credit (circuit breaker) formula on the Michigan 1040 tax form; allowing for the exclusion of the first $200,000.00 in pay­ roll expenses from the SBT base; and eliminating the inheritance tax for all desig­ nated heirs as long as they are Michigan residents. An informal question and answer period followed. In addition to numerous citizens, several county of­ ficials, former officials and a candidate for a city office attended. Ted McKelvey, Maple Grove Township Supervisor Justin Cooley, County Commissioners Otis Hermenitt and Jack Love attended along with Hope Township Clerk Shirley Case. Former Commission­ ers Bill Schantz, Bill Hayes and Emmet Herrington at­ tended. Bruce Augustyniak, a candidate for Hastings City Council, was also in attendance. Reisterer emphasized that we must all set party and personality aside and under­ stand that the cost and size of government is not a Democratic or a Republican issue, “it can only be done by controlling their purse strings," he said. “It Wil take courage to fight the status quo in Lansing," he said. He encouraged working togeth­ er to establish some values pertinent to the daily lives of all of us. Ron addressed the need for reform in social services programs. He said he en­ dorsed able bodied indivi­ duals on assistance being required to take jobs. He supports an equalization of welfare payments, making them in line, per capita, with adjacent states. “Requiring jobs by able bodied recip­ ients would eliminate the sandbagge^s," said Reister­ er, and “equalization of pay­ ments would tend to elimi­ nate people from neighbor­ ing states moving across the state line into Michigan where benefits are consider­ ably higher." Reisterer continues his “battle cry" of “Lower Taxes Thru Less Government.” He says his prime motivation behind tax cuts is to create economic growth so those who are on public as is Lance can become productive. Reisterer heartily sup­ ports a part time legislature. Statistics show that each of our 110 representatives and 38 senators cost Michigan taxpayers $300,000.00 an­ nually to maintain. Texas and Oregon have a part-time legislature and are success­ ful. Many are motivated to run for office because of the lucrative salary, and more so, because of the pension benefit. If a person spends eight years in the legislature and is over 55 years of age, he can draw a pension that amounts to 70 percent of the salary they earned at its highest point.

Responding, Reister said that he graduated in 1973 from Western Michigan University with a double major in business education and history and a minor in Spanish.

Asked his position on Re­ gionalism, the Tri-Lateral Council and secular human­ ism, he said he stands oppos­ ed to all three. Explaining “secular humanism” as being where government is placed over God, Reisterer stressed his total opposition since the Western civililaztion is based on Judeo-Christian ethics. Asked what he can do better than Don Gilmer, Reisterer recalled Gilmer’s record, stating that in the six years that Gilmer has been Representative of the 55th District, he has yet to initiate any tax cut or pro­ pose any means for economic growth. “He as literally done nothing and is hostile to those who have." Citing Gilmer's record futher, Reis­ lerer said that Gilmer cam­ paigned actively for the Governor's Proposal A, he supported the $800,000.00 subsidy to the Pontiac Silverdome and has consistent­ ly supported abortion. “Gil­ mer talks about welfare reform, but he hasn't puttogether any bill, doesn’t initiate, create or foster any legislation,” said Reisterer. “The only bill this year that bears Gilmer's name is an appropriation bill for mental health, and last year his name only appeared on four proposed pieces of legisla­ tion," he said. When* asked why he’s get­ ting into politics. Reisterer said, “Freedom is not free. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance." He asked for the people's support if they agreed with his philo­ sophy and promised “I’m a doer, and initiator." Paraphrasing Ben Frank­ lin, Reister concluded his presentation stating, “Those people who are willing to surrender essential liberty for temporary security or safety deserve neither se­ curity nor safety...nor free­ dom.” Tickets were then made available for the fund raiser Chicken Bar-B-Que to be held Friday, August 7, at River Oak Park.

The estimates being released are breakouts of the April state­ wide figures. Taylor said that the Flint area (Genesee and Shiawassee Counties) had the largest drop in unemployment among the 13 areas as its rate fell from 16.6 percent in March to 13.4 percent in April. He attributed ihe drop to seasonal job gains in Ihe construction and service industries. In addition, the motor vehicles industry reported increased employment for the month.

Just the th!ng for a pleasant day in Thomapple country. The way to do it is not exactly cruising, of course. It's more like floating, in a canoe. Some paddling is required in the slow stretches, and to guide the canoe, but it's not hard work. My daughter and I tried it in the evening a few days ago, and thoroughly enjoyed the trip. We had Mike Hawthorne put one of his U-Rent-Em canoes in the water at Charlton Park Road, and floated clear down to the landing of W. State St. behind the Hastings wastewater treatment plant. The trip took a leisurely four hours through some of the prettiest country you’ll find, even in beautiful Barry County. As you probably know, the river does not take a very direct route. Since you never are going in the same directiori for more than a few yards, you are treated to a new vista around every curve. For most of the route, the banks are overgrown, and you may feel like you are in the Canadian wilderness. Near Chartton Park, of course, there are cottages on the north side, but after you leave that area, there are only a few scattered homes, until suddenly you are in the middle of Hastings. The river is never dull, with its constantly changing scenes, and alternating slow meanders with swift riffles. In a few places, one has to watch for rocks, but most of the time, navigation is not much problem. We enjoyed the multitude of birds along the river, and saw several deer as darkness approached. Kingfishers and great blue herons abound, along with a sprinkling of ducks, and of course small land birds on the banks and overhead. We came across four deer, of which I think three were within the city limits of Hastings. The last one was in the open space just behind the Burger Chef restaurant, as we drove away from the landing place. The OrJy drawback to a float trip in the summer is the deer flies. They were thick over the riffles, through strangely absent in other stretches of the river. We doused our­ selves with insect repellent, so they didn't bite much, but the clouds of them around our heads were still annoying. Betty Hopkins says the best time for canoeing on the river is October, when frost has freed the air of the deer flies. We plan to do it again then. Looks like this is a good year for crop* and gardens so far. The com is high and looks good in the area, and gardens are already lush. The weeds are lush, too, if you haven't been able to mulch or stay ahead of them. We've already been enjoying lettuce and fresh spinach (very little relation to the sore-bought vegetable of the same name} We put our pod peas in late, so they haven't given us back anything yet. Everything else seems to be growing vigorously. Our mouth waters at the mere thought of what is yet to come. MICHIGAN MIRROR Many Ideas Popping Up For State Tax Reductions By WARREN M. HOYT Legislature Working Toward Individual And Business Tax Cut Whether rt be to fulfill the mandate of the people from the past elections or to make some political mileage, the Michigan legislature is beginning to give some serious thought to both tax cuts for individuals and businesses. It seems that every member of the Legislature has his or her own idea of how to best serve the people and Michigan businesses to make the state a better place to live and work. The point is, however, that the mood is getting stronger and some type of tax cuts should become reality before the end of the current session-December, 1982. Both the Senate Democrats and House Republicans have taken a caucus position to support a proposal developed within the caucuses. House Republicans endorsed the basics of a tax cut plan that would deal with property taxes and the single business tax, cutting state revenues by $560 million. Called the 20-20-10 plan, it would cut property taxes by 20 percent, increase the property tax portion of the renters circuit breaker from 17 to 20 percent and cut the single business tax revenues by 10 percent. The Senate Democratic plan calls for a 35 percent cut in school operating taxes, a senior citizen exemption for school taxes, tax credit to senior citizen renters, millage rollbacks to offset assessment increases and increased single business tax credits for small and new businesses. The total plan would cost $1.2 billion over the next three years. All the proposals could be enacted legislatively and there would be no lost •evenues to local government as they all proposed the state reimburse the locals for any lost revenues. The Senate has approved an amendment to the single business tax act to provide a larger credit for businesses grossing under $6 million per year and new businesses for the first three years they operate in the state. The bill would provide up to a $25 million tax cut per year on such businesses by computing their business tax liability on profits rather than on payroll. Meanwhile, the House Democratic Leadership is moving on a proposal "front loading'' the property tax circuit breaker which would give taxpayers a reduction on their annual property tax bills rather than receive them at the end of the year through an adjustment to their income tax liability. Under the bill, beginning in 1982, credit forms would go to property owners before payment of summer or winter taxes. • • • The credit forms would state how much tax credit the homeowner is entitled to basad upon prior year credits and the homeowner* would present the form to the local treasurer and only pay the excess. The state would then reimburse the local government for the reduced tax bill. If the homeowner is entitled to a larger credit, he would then file for an additional credit with his or her state income tax form. The bill also grants an expanded circuit breaker to people earning les* than $10,000 and persons earning less than $6,000 a year would not be responsible for any property taxes whatsoever. Currently, the circuit breaker returns 60 percent of all property taxes paid over 3.5 percent of a person's income. With the various proposals kicking around the Legislature and member* of the Legislature jumping to the best of the voter*' tax-cut drum, it's only a matter of time before a propose' clears both houses and is sent to the governor for signature. How fast and how much remains to be seen. Voice of the People To the Editor: concerning it has appeared Aroused religious fervor in the local press?

Hilliker's business d selling and leasing amuse­ ment machines to major e amusement parks in the country is headquartered here. And he has plans for the building to be used as an alternative location for rec­ reation. Game Planned Wes VanDenburg is in charge of recreational activi­ ties at Athletic Amuse­ ments located at 1907 S. Bedford Road. A basketball tournament is planned in July and league basketball is planned for this fall. Wes is a former New York Yankee baseball player. He coached baseball at Grand Valley State College and is now a coach in the Lakewood'pub­ ic school system.

Division ol Wayne Soap Co. i Larger Quarters Phil Hilliker, the youthful 24 year old President of Athletic Amusements, has expanded his business to newer and larger quarters at 1907 S. Bedford Road. The building and property is leased by Hilliker from Gor­ don Barlow who formerly used the site for auctions. Hilliker employs eight full time people and several part time in a unique business that he says is still growing and expanding. About a year ago, Hillilker went into business for him­ self, owning and managing the operation of a carnival­ type machine that uses ra­ dar to determine the speed of a thrown ball. For a fee, a person would throw a ball twice and the machine would tell the person at what precise speed the ball was thrown. The person would then throw the ball a third time and guess the ball's speed. If the contestant guessed correctly, they would win a prize. Machines were set up at fain, carni­ vals, etc., and travelled the fair circuit. Hilliker had two machines to begin with, expanded to six and by the end of the first year of business he had 14 machines With nine of them constantly active. 'The problem with that," said Hilliker, “was that you were constantly on the move." Looking for a different aspect in a potentially profit­ able operation, Hilliker then decided to go into the selling and leasing of the machines. He is reaching his goal by slowly shifting into a phase of the operation that is more consistant year around, more so than the seasonal carnival circuit. Phil employs three people as locators. They are on the road, selling or leasing the equipment to various large parks and amusement areas. Al the time of the interview. Hilliker said one of his locators, Kim Laugbaugh of Hastings was in Pennsyl­ vania. Jay Kimble and Mike O’Mera, both of Lake Odessa were in Wisconsin and Loui­ siana, respectively, placing machines. Hilliker has 10 machines in major amuse­ ment areas such as Cedar Point and Kings Dominion. He is negotiating with Marriot in Gurney. III. and Six-Flags in St. Louis. Each have four or five affiliate parks, so Hilliker says the potential is great. Hilliker is not merely think­ ing of personal self-advance­ ment with his operation, and is remodeling a major part of the premises to accomodate fl variety of recreational activities, some still in plan­ ning stages. To handle the recreation phase, Hilliker hired Wes VanDenburg, 29, of Lake' Odessa, well-known former pro baseball star with the New York Yankees, to or­ ganize and take charge of site activities. VanDenburg's immediate plans are for a basketball tournament, but future plans include a golf driving range, a batting range, rol­ ler skating, archery, dances, weight lifting, and use of the premises for meetings, wed­ ding receptions, etc. Van­ Denburg's plans also include organizing a fall basketball league. Hilliker's goal of an all-purpose area for an alter­ nate source of recreation is being constantly expanded under the watchful eye of Wes VanDenburg. Wes and his wive Robin have two boys, Josh five and Rocky one and a half. Hilliker's brother, Jim Essinglon, oversees the orordering of equipment, han­ dling the inventory and gen­ erally oversees the workers on the site. Advertising being a key factor in any operation, Hil­ _____ r . liker employs Rob VanEng—. who, "his"robot en, ru- with ” "Robby" handle advertising and promotion for the opera­ tion. Rob and “Robby” most recently appeared in the Memorial Day Parade in Hastings. Dk;i u . . ., • phone hardly stopped ringing during the .. interview, oversees the total overall operation. He and his wife Cynthia make their home at Little Long Lake, HastinPJ- Basketball Tourney Athletic Amusements Iocated one mile south of Hastings will be opening thier new gym on Aug. 7-8-9 with a 4 on 4 double elimination men’s basketball tournament.

In hospital emer­ gency rooms alone, an esti­ mated 9,400 people were treated for pyrotechnic in­ juries last year. Of this total, 1,600 were to the eye. With the Independence Day holiday , approaching. _rr______ NSPB has issued a warning that fireworks of all kinds endanger life and limb, especially the eyes. 'The figures available may represent only a fracHon of people who were hurt. There is no way to eslimate how many were admitted directly to hospitals or were treated in doctors’ offices," explained NSPB Executive Director Virginia S.

The only safe way to enjoy fireworks is in licensed pub­ lic display," she advised. “For many years, the So­ ciety has urged that use of pyrotechnics be limited in this way. In fact, this is the law in 28 states, but fire­ works are still sold illegally on streets and in many stbres." Parents should pay partic­ ular attention to these warn­ ings, since the majority of the injury victims are chil­ dren. “Fireworks are explo­ sive devices. Be sure to keep your youngsters away from them. And, don’t forget, the victims of pyrotechnic acci­ dents are often innocent byst anders. “Have a pleasurable holi­ day, without risking your well-being." Mrs. Boyce con­ cluded. “Enjoy the fireworks from a safe distance at public exhibitions.*' The National Society to Prevent Blindness, estab­ lished in 1908, is the oldest voluntary health agency Blue Flight A.

He denied the defen­ dant’s petition for a stay of injunction, pending appeal. Judge Deming granted the temporary injunction on June 23, after Barry County Planning and Zoning Direc­ tor Winifred Keller brought suit against the theater for constructing the temporary screen following denial of the zoning variance needed to construct a permanent structure. The injunction was not immediately signed because any such order must be approved by the opposing party’s attorney, in form, not substance, before it is legality entered. Attorney James Theophelia of Tensing who represents the theater, said his office had not receiv­ ed the injuctive order ard suggested the entry of the order be aet for Wednesday, July 1, in Circuit Court. When court convened late Wednesday afternoon, At­ torney Carl Rubin of the firm of Rubin and Taylor of Detroit, appeared on behalf of MIC Corporation. Although Attorneys Sand­ born and Theophelis of Lan­ sing remain the Attorneys of Record. Mr. Rubin entered hsi appearance as Attorney of Counsel and it appears be intends to retain primary control. The People's motion for entry of judgement on the injunction and the defen­ dant’s petition for a stay of the injunction, pending ap­ peal, were heard simultan­ eously. Attorney Rubin argued on constitutional grounds and Barry county Prosecuting Attorney Judy Hughes coun­ tered the arguments on be­ half of the County. Following the arguments, the court entered the tem­ porary injunction, which roads, in part, “Now, there- Uttl* T. 1. fore, it is ordered and ad­ judged that the Defendant MIC Limited, a Michigan Corporation, its agents and its employees, are hereby enjoined and restrained from using the structure which purports to be a drive-in screen, located on the following described property for the purpose of showing pictures, moving or still, thereon...(legal descrip­ tion)...more commonly known as 1839 Bedford Road.” A concluding para­ graph in the injunction reads, "It is furthur ordered that this injunction shall continue in effect during the pendency of this action, or until further order of this court.” The trial, scheduled for August 26, will determine whether if the temporary injunction shall become per­ manent. Hastings Banner ) Devoted to the Interests of Barry County Since 1858 Hastings, Michigan Appeals SEV The Township of Thomap­ ple is appealing their State Equalized Value, as set by Barry County Equalization Office, with the State of Michigan Tax Tribunal. The Township alleges that on May 4.1981, the Board of Commissioners, acting on data supplied by the Barry County Equalization Direc­ tor, determined that the residential real property in the Township of Thornapple should be increased by a factor of 1.0967. On January 1,1981, the tentative equali­ zation factor was indicated as 1.03 which was increased to 1.08 on February 24, upon which the residential real property assessments were based by the township. Sub­ sequently, the Equalization Department revised the fig­ ures upward during the first week in March, and again revised and increased the figure to the present level on March 31,1981. The Township alleges that the residential real property at issue in the township was correctly assessed by them at 50 percent of the true cash value by the township assessor and that the application of an equalized factor increases the state equalized value of the parcels of property to an amount greater than 50 percent of true cash value. The Township asks the Tax Tribunal to sei a level of assessment a- determined by the township assessor and to direct Barry County to utilize the factor of 1.000 in determining the equalized value of hte residnetial real property at issue. The petition on behalf of Thomapple Township was filed by Larry Ainslie of Siegel, Hudson, Gee, Shaw and Fisher, of Hastings. The Prosecutor will be appearing and filing an an­ swer on behalf of the county.

Wolpe, a member of the Coaliltion, said the program will help distressed local economies by targeting fed­ eral procurement contracts to communities with the highest jobless rates. Barry, Calhoun, Clinton, Eaton Hillsdale, Jackson, and Kalamazoo counties are among 1,058 communities in the United States designat­ ed byt he Labor Department as “labor surplus areas," where unemployment is at least 20 percent above the national average. The Third District is very much in need of jobs, and this type of program can help provide' them," Wolpe said. “The targeted procure­ ment simply means that the federal government will get the most from the dollar it spends buying services and products by targeting that money to the communities where investment capital and jobs are most desperate­ ly needed.” The program, known as Defense Manpower Policy Number Four, was adopted after the Coaliltion led an effort to repeal the Maybank Amendment. For almost 30 years, the amendment block­ ed efforts to target some Pentagon contracts to eco­ nomically distressed areas. The federal procurement preference for these areas extends from June 1981 through May 1982. The Pentagon program does not include weapons systems, but covers hun­ dreds of thousands of pur­ chases, from block and tackle to shoe.’; and sun­ glasses, that can be supplied .by small and middle-sized firms. “Unemployment plagues the District and I am con­ stantly aware of the finan­ cial problems people and businesses are facing," he said. “I intend to see that these programs are rigor­ ously implemented."

What information or records should we take? A. You should take a record of your • hild’s social security number, if available, a birth certificate or oldest available proof of age; information on the dates of treatment or examination for your child's disability; information about you, your husband's, and your child's income and assets; and information about your child's living arrangements. If you don't have al) this information available, you should apply anyway so the benefits will begin as soon as possible. If necessary, the people at the social security office will help you get the needed documents. Q. My sister has* been receiving SSI since her legs were paralyzed in an automobile accident last year. She plans to buy a motorized wheelchair so she can return to work. What will this do to her SSI payments? She cannot afford to buy the chair and pay her living expenses if her SSI stops. A. The Social Security Administration wants to encourage disabled people to return to work but realizes that there may be additional expenses involved. The law has a special provision to help disabled workers keep their SSI payments by allowing t^hem to deduct from their earnings the cost of any disability related items necessary for work.

Julv6 «M1.P«n4 REVIEW They Come to See Wopat in Fine “Carousel” Production Wedding Pay Not Far By HUGH FULLERTON A capacity crowd of Bam Theatre-goers went home happy last Wednesday night after Tom Wopat of "Dukes of Hazzard" fame opened in "Carousel," the beloved Ri dgers and Kammerstein musical. The cast was a strong one, with exoerienced Bam performers in most major roles, but it was evident that many in the crowd had come mainly to see Wopat. Wopat is good as Billy Bigelow, the male lead in Carousel. Not greet, but very good, and certainly promhing to get better He obviously was master of the role, since he played it previously as a college student. He also seemed completely relaxed on the stage of The Bam, where he spent the summers of 1976 and 1977. But going to see Carousel to see only one actor is like going to a fine restaurant just for the appetizers. They may be among the best things on the menu, but not the only good ones. The female lead. Bam newcomer, Manana Renee, is certainly strong enough in both personality and musical talent to play opposite a name like Wopat. Just as good as her sidekick, Carrie, Marin Mazzie, who sparkled on stage and had the beet voice in the cast. Her smie and writ just lit up some scenes. One of the joys of going to the Bam is seeing some of the old hands. Bam regulars love Louis Girard more every year, and this is his 26th at the Augusta playhouse. The versatile Angelo Mango makes even a lesser role a comic high spot. Then there's Betty Ebert, wife of Bam Producer Jack Ragotzy, in her 36th summer at the Bam. The stage is hers when she's on it, and she knows just how to make the most of a part. Ragotzy himself even got on stage in a supporting role, as well as his customary introductory speech. The Carousel cast b a big one, so they must have drafted everyone in the place... A younger man whom we love to watch is Joe Aiello, cast as the villain as he was in last year’s Oklahoma. But Aieko's villains take on a likeable, humorous character, and he adds luster to the cast. The entire production was first rate, down to the small but abb orchestra, which included Donna Sabda, band director at Galesburg-Augusta High School. Tickets for the original two week run of Carousel were virtually sold out before opening night, despite the addkion of extra performances. To accomodate the crowds, the Barr, has been able to extend the run for a third week, through July 19. Tickets are avaiabb for that week, but you better hurry, because they should go fast. The next two shows have been moved back a week on the schedule. The next offering, the new thriller "Deathtrap," wfll open on July 21. We're anxious to see the musical classic "My Fair Lady," which will open on Aug. 4 for two weeks. MICHIGAN 1MR0R Transportation Tax Package Being Readied in Lansing Take Care of Those All-Important Details Early*.. And Let Us Take Care of Your Stationery Needs! 1 - Week Sendee On Regular Orders... Faster On Rush Orders! By WARREN M. HOYT Legislature to Consider Transportation Tax Package The legislature wO be shooting for year-end approval of a package of bilb, being readied for introduction, to restructure end increese transportation taxes. The legislation wB come at a time when falling revenues from the current system of per gallon fuel taxes and weight-based license fees has already forced a few local road agencies to shut down for the summer and for other state and local agendas to institute cute in service and maintenance. Rep. Mary Brown (D-Katamazoo), who will sponsor the legislation, said the system needs to bo restructured to provide tax revenues baaed more on the value of fuel because the increase in "the cost of gas and the cost of road construction and maintenance follows closely together." • • • The current system has not only failed to keep pace with inflation, but has actually taken a dip as fuel consumtion falb and vehicles get lighter. The proposal would change fuel taxes from 11 cents per gallon sab price to 11 percent on the wholesale price-currentty about $1 20 for bad-free gasoline. As the wholesab of fuel rises, w would the tax revenue as it would be computed on a percentage basis. • • • A flat 928 passenger vehicle registration fee would replace the current sliding scab starting at a minimum of 120. The average license fee is 426 on a 4,000-pound vehicb. With vehicb weights being reduced as a fuel economy move, state revenues would de­ cline. Truck licensing fees would be increased by some 30 percent. And, more general fund money would be used to supplement public transit systems while distributing the funds under a new formula utilizing current allocations as a base. Brown said she hopes for summer-long disucssions by Interested groups in order to allow for House approval by October. (The Legislature! will return to session fokowing a summer recess in mld-Septsmber). Revenue estimates for the package are not readily avaiabb, but Brown said the concept of the tax system b more important now than the particular rate of taxation. "The problem b there and needs to bo solved and there are the vehicles. If someone can come up with a better mousetrap, they're welcome, but wo need the mousetrap," she said. Brown added that given the past history of gaining approval on tax measures, the timetable would be tough to moot, but noted that conditions in the 1982 election year would be worse. Bill Davis, of the Michigan Municipal League and one of several repreeentativee from local road interests enlisted to help devise a new tax plan, said there b a real need for more dollars. He said it b a problem that every Legislation in the country b facing or will face. He noted that Indiana already has moved to a fuel tax based partly on value and Minnesota has increased Its tax to 13 cents per gallon. Michigan needs to restructure its taxes because "continuing to tax vehicles on weight and tex fuel on gafonage b directly inverse to keeping up with our needs," Davb said. Transportation Director John Woodford said he is not ready to endorse any plan but added two things need to bo addressed-stabilizing revenues and blowing for future growth to deal with inflationary increases. Woodford said he has not assessed how much money is needed by state and local road agencies. He noted he b only trying to fulfill a responsibility to operate and maintain existing facilities. He said the reduced revenues have forced the department to eliminoto about 360 employees, eliminate the "bare pavement" policy in the winter for all but a few high-traffic roads and eliminate roads’de paving. 4-H NEWS Some Last-Minute Information For 4-H Fair Exhibitors SPECIAL FOR NEWLYWEDS— !f your wedding announcement is 'submitted for publication in The Hastings Bahner, within one month of the wedding, you will get a free 3-month subscription to The Banner.

Reserve Rabbit Pen 15 Voice of the People To the Editor: Ah. the convenience of city living; city water, sewer, shopping is just around the corner, city streets always kept clean of snow in the winter and leaf clutter and dirt in the sum­ mer. Another bonus of city living is well kept sidewalks and the lovely trees the city plants along the roadsides. Shopping is a few blocks walk or a short hop in the ear. But, living in the city and the taxes getting so high makes me consider moving to the pountry where I can be responsible for most of these things myself and have lower taxes. In fact, the prospect is getting downright appealing. EXCEPT, the country is no longer without some of these things, and looks like more are being planned all the time. There are exten­ sive sewer lines (and I suppose water lines next), a mini-transportation system. and county road commis­ sions (which never get enough of the tax money they should have, to do the kind of road maintenance they know needs to be done). And of course all these projects run on tax monies that have many State and Federal strings attached that inevitably drive the cost of construc­ tion, operation and comple­ tion up, up. up. Seems to me our Constitu­ tion guarantees every per­ son the right to pursue their own destiny without govern­ ment interference. Doesn’t seem to be much left to pur­ sue with the ever increasing taxes being used for all these plans “for our own good.” Getting to be a full time job to pay the taxes that support all these pro­ jects someone is planning for my good. Sincerely, Patsey L. Verus (Mrs.) Travel Up Over 4th A good turnout of holiday vacationers over the Fourth of July weekend should con­ tinue Michigan’s six percent increase tn tourism so far this year and help make 1981 the state’s second best tour­ ism year ever, according to the Automobile Club of Michigan. “Although inflation, un­ employment and lagging car sales still are seriously hin­ dering Michigan’s economy, they are having little effect on state tourism as Mich­ iganians travel a* a pace second only to record 1978," stated Auto Club Touring Manager Joseph Ratke. “The only concession trav­ elers are making to their economic circumstances is to take doser-tn-home vaca­ tions, which is benefiting tourism activity in most sections of the state," Ratke said. An Auto Club check of regional tourist associations, hotel associations, popular holilday attractions and* state and private camg^ grounds indicates that tour­ ism over the Fourth of July weekend sould be up ap­ proximately six percent over the 1980 holiday. Weather permitting, the Michigan Department of Transportation predicts motorists in Michigan should drive 725 million miles over the 78-hour holiday, which is 2 percent more than a year ago. The record for a July 4th holiday is 870 million miles set during the 102hour 1972 period. This year’s holiday of­ ficially runs from 6 p.M. Thursday (July 2) to mid­ night Sunday (July 5). “Not only is Michigan heading towards its second best tourism year ever, but several tourist barometers show the state running ahead of.hte 1978 record.” Ratke pointed out. Auto Club routings to Lower Michigan vacation destinations are up 13 per­ cent over the first five months of last year and are eight percent above 1978. Requests for Upper Penin­ sula routings are down two percent over last year, but Mackinac Bridge crossings are two percent ahi ad of a year ago. “Michigan continues to grow as a popular dose-to-home vaca­ tion destination for residents of such bordering states as Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Wisconsin," Ratke said. The nearly 1.3-millionmember organization has assisted 25 percent more out-of-siate residents tnUaeeted in Michigan vacations than last year and 23 per­ cent more than 1978. Some 84,000 more travelers have visited the state’s 10 travel information centers so far this year over last. A number of Michigan at­ tractions also are experienc­ ing banner years. A record 500,000 persons attended Holland’s Tulip Time Festi­ val last month while a record 1,000 visitors enjoyed Boyne City’s Mushroom Festival in May. Business on both Mackinac Island and in the Irish Hills is up 10 percent over 1980. Gasoline supplies are plen­ tiful and costs have dropped steadily for the last nine weeks along ir.ain state high­ ways. Auto Club’s pre-Fourth of July “fuel gauge" survey shows an average 86 percent of 300 stations checked along major highways will operate daylight hours, 41 percent after 9 p.m. and 112 percent after midnight. An average five percent of the stations were unsure of holiday hours. Twenty-five persons were killed on Michigan roads during the 1980 July Fourth weekend. Sixty-four percent of the at-fault drivers were either known or suspected of drinking. Auto Club’s "Bring ’Em Back Alive!"

The complaint states that on April 13, 1977, the Middleville Hotel, Inc., entered into a contract with Janet DeGennaro for the sale of the property and business fixtures and equip­ ment known as the Middle­ ville Hotel and Copper Door Lounge. On March 4.1980, Middle, ville Hotel, Inc. deeded all of its rights, title and interest to property of Mary Ann Gamble. The complaint further states that Janet DeGennaro sold her interest in the Middleville Hotel and Copper Door Lounge to Dennis and Georgia Parker, and on July 1, 1980 DeGennaro entered into an agreement with the Parkers where Parkers were to pay Gamble the amount owing her on ihe land contract. On January 4, 1981, the business was destroyed by fire. Tl • Parkers notified Gamble within 60 days of the dale of the fire of their intention to rebuild, as per sale contract specifications. But as of the filing date of the suit, no steps have been allegedly taken to rebuild. Gamble alleges Parkers have no intention to rebuild. Suit further stales that there is about $147,000.00 currently due and owing Gamble and no funds have been raised by Gamble over the last 5 months. Gamble asks that the Parkers be ordered to pay the amount due and owin? from the insurance proceeds available, and that she be awarded cost and fees.

District Judge Cutworms Hitting First it was armyworms. ■Now in soybeans, corn and dry beans, it’s cutworms. Bob Ruppel, Extension field crops entomologist at Michigan State University, advises growers of these crops to be on the lookout for plants cut off at the base and plants with leaves cut off. If five percent of the plants in a field show dam­ age, check with your county Cooperative Extension Ser­ vice agent for recommended cutworm controls. “Five percent doesn't sound very high,” Ruppel notes, "but cutworms have been such a problem for the last couple of years that we're afraid to let damage go much beyond that.” The potential for serious economic losses is high be­ cause of the cutworm's habit of cutting off plants at soil level. If they merely munch­ ed on the foliage, it would take large numbers of them to wreak havoc on a stand. When each caterpillar can destroy several plants a night, however, damage can mount quickly. Significant damage to com has already been re­ ported from coufities irt the southern and southwestern parts of tbe state, and the first reports of cutworms cutting soybeans have start­ ed to come in. Cutworms have also beer, reported in dry beans, where they have not as yet dene much dam­ age. But the potential is certainly there, Ruppel says. If checking the field turns up signa of cutworm feeding, look for the worms them- Notice - Have room for one ambulatory or wheelchair resident in my licensed foster care home.

The program standards of the private accrediting or­ ganization are recognized throughout the United States and provide assur­ ance that a facility meets a continuing high level of per­ formance. The Stale Board said the Technical Institute, which provides job training and related services to handi­ capped adults, was com­ mended for its vocational development as well as its personal and social develop­ ment program. Acreditation for both programs was ganted for the maximum of t hree years. "The facility offers excel­ lent services to handicapped persons through a vast array of vocational, person­ al, and social program com­ ponents," the CARF survey­ ors said. “These programs are prvided by excellent stuff and in modern, safe physical facilities." The Technical Institute provides vocational and technical training in 15 dif­ ferent trades including com­ puter programming, draft­ ing. auto mechanics, and printing. Also available to students is a comprehensive personal development pro­ gram. with services such as archery, bowling, swim­ ming, weightlifting, horse­ back riding, and tennis. Administered by Michigan Rehabilitation Services in the Department of Educa­ tion, the facility last year was awarded a one-year accreditation from CARF for its vocational development program. Swanson Returns From Mediterranean Navy Radioman 3rd Class Charles E. Swanson, son of James R. Swanson of 5033 S. Bedford Road and Marilyn M. Coon of 803 S. Young St., boih of Hasiings, has return­ ed from a deployment to the Mediierranean Sea and Indian Ocean. He is a crewmember aboard the combai store ship USS Concord, homeported in Norfolk, VA. During the seven-monih cruise, his sip steamed more than 45.000 miles during operations with the US 6th and 7th Fleets. The ship delivered more than 22,000 tons of supplies, replenished 120 ships and issued 2,000 emergency repair parts. Port calls were made in Sicily, Italy, Monaco, France, Spain and Tunisia. The sailors also spent the Christmas holidays in Israel, where they had the oppor­ tunity to visit the ancient cities of Jerusalem, Naza­ reth and Bethlehem. The -ncord serves as a “floating store" for the fleet and is stocked with more than 25,000 general and technical supply items. The ship is 581 feet long with a crew of 486. selves in the soil around the bases of damaged plants. Ruppel suggest. If only a few plants have been cut, the dark-colored, hairless caterpillars may be hard to find. If damage is extensive, it .will take very little scratching around in the soil to turn up the pests. Four species of cutworms have been identified in Mich­ igan. All tend to be drab and dark-colored. When fully grown, they may measure up to 1’4 inches long. But they don't have to be that large to do considerable damage. "It's getting to be too late to replace a lost stand,” Ruppel points out. "The next couple of weeks could be critical."

Delehanty of Kalamaroo. Three couples Mr. and Mrs. C. Kaufman and Mr. and Mrs. M. Kuhlman of Hastings and Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Cichy of Delton signed the formal complaint, although the complaint states that names of other parents who support the effort may be obtained upon request. 9 The complaint, dated June’ 19, and directed to Larry B. Schfack. Superintendent of the Barry Intermediate School District, states their decision is based on the belief that such a change is disadvantageous to the welfare of their children. Citing specifics, parents say the program at Altoft included a 3-room facility with playground and work­ shop. The playground was specially geared toward the unioue needs of the students. Their complaint states that the proposed new location is essentially one room, divided in two by a partition. Under Program and Service Requirements of the michigan Special Education Rules, R 340.1733 (b). special-ed students are to be located with regular education students of comparable age and grade level. In this case, students will share a facility with children in K-4 aged 5-9. The Altoft students are aged 2-23 with 8 under the age of 10 and 12 students between age 10 and 23. Under Rule R 840.1733(b) special-ed students are to be assigned to facilities that allow them to participate fully in regular and specialed programs, services and extracurricular activities. In this case, the location of the classrooms makes the library upstairs, cafeteria downstairs, inaccessible to many students. Under Rule 340.1733 (k) each handicapped student is to be offered the opportunity to participate in regular physical education programs. The asphalt playground facilities at Delton will create a danger for some students whose physical skills are limited. In this case, an effort to provide the least restrictive program becomes a more restrictive situation in that tue danger accompanying such facilities will force some students to refrain from activity altogether. Parents also call attention to Rule 340.1722 (d) which states that consideration must be given to any potential harmful effects to the students and the quality of services available. Although rule 340.1733 (k) further states that apcessability and participation in physical education programs is required, many programs provided previously have been cut by the administration. These include swimming, horse­ back riding and special Olympics. Parents say the cuts were made in spite of the 1980-81 SpeciaJ-Ed Budget finishing their year with a $67,000.00 surplus. Parents further refer to Rule 340.1733 (e) referring to performance objectives, including pre-vocational. personal adjustment, physical education and vocational training, which must be developed to fulfill the needs of individual students. In spite of the surplus, parents say the administration terminated programs which included town orientation sessions movie outings and a work­ shop program. Parents say school administrators indicated Pre-Vocalionai Workshop materials will be stored due to lack of space at Delton. Parents further call _ attention to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 which mandates equal education opportunities to ■all handicapped individuals. Barry Intermediate School District receives Federal funds for handicapped programs. The State's Special Education Act. Public Act 198, mandates an educational system designed to develop the maximum potential of every handicap­ ped individual. Parents also say Barry Intermediate School District receives State funds for the handicap­ ped program.Yet, the budget reflects a $67,000.00 surplus. Aside from the legal considerations, parents have other concerns. They cite the rationale that Special Education Director Jim Hund outlined for the change. The fiscal considerations referred to as a reason for relocation find little support with parents, in view of the surplus of $67,000.00. Further concern rests in the fact that the majority of the students at Altoft are residents of Hastings. Transportation to Delton, they say, increases the cost to the school district and inconveniences the students. - Parents further state that need for improvements at Altoft was listed as the final rationale for the move to the Delton location. Parents believe that no bids were requested or received. Parents concluded their complaint stating that a majority of parents of the Altoft student attended school board meetings, voiced their opposition and "implored them to reconsider their position" in an effort to resolve the conflict. But the Board decided to move the children to the Dditon facility..' The formal complaint asks the Michigan Department of Education to make an on-site investigation. A spokesperson for the parents told the Banner this Wednesday morning that they are now awaiting word from the Department of Education.

State To Study Kent, Barry, Eaton Railway Studies will be nude on four railroad lines by the Michigan Department of Transportation, to determine if they should remain in the state-support­ ed core system of rail lines. Among them is the Kent, Barry, Eaton Connecting Railway which operates a 42-mile line between Grand Rapids and Vermontville. The State Transportation Commission adopted a plan designed to make the most of declining revenues for Michigan’s rail freight preservation program. The plan calls for continued financial support for some of the 736 miles of state-subsidized lines and withdrawal of support for others.

The prime purpose of the A third categqry of “threatened" lines will lose their subsidies if studies indicate they have little chance of making it on their own. -State and Federal appropriations for the freight program in Michigan will total about $11 million, down substantially from this year. However, the $2.7 million of Federal funds probably will not be received due to proposed budget reductions. The Legislature voted to phase out state rail operat­ ing subsidies at the rate of 25% each year, with all subsidies to end in 1985. Rail companies will be asked to submit bids this year for operating statesubsjdized lines and communities along the lines be added to the road bed and the entire project will result in better site distance. Work is expected to be completed about the first of November. School Board to Elect Officers Monday Election of board officers for the next year will be the main item of business when the Hastings Board of Education meets Monday evening. The nominating committee has recommend­ ed the following for board offices: President, Dr. William Baxter; vice president, George Wibalda; treasurer. Richard Groos, and secretary, JoAnn Fluke. Barbara Gerding, a second grade teacher at Southeast­ ern School, has requested a year's leave of absence to attend graduate school, and the board will act on that request. Superintendent Richard Guenther said he will recommend the borrowing of $200,000 on July 17 for up to 203 days, until the winter lax collection is received. The money will be borrowed from the National Bank of Hastings. The interest rate, Guenther said, is one-half the prime rate plus two percent, so the exact rate will be determined at the time the money is borrowed. The borrowing is part of the borrowing schedule for the year approved al a recent special meeting. - Hole-In-One Jerry Paquette of Lapeer, shot a hole-in-one at River Bend Golf Course on Saturday, July 4. He made the shot on the tH hole of the white nine using a 3,zz wood. This was his first golf outing this year and the first hole-in-one he ever shot. He was golfing with his brother-in-law, Stan Pierce of Hastings. County Tax Dollars at Work - The Barry County Road Commisdoo is working on a stretch of Assyria Road, about 3lzt miles south of M-79. Ditches are being project »s to add additional base to the roadbed and to provide better site distance. Cost of the project io estimated at $245,800.00. are asked to help support the lines financially. It is further suggested that ship­ pers accept surcharges on products they ship by subsidized rail freight. Scheduled for abandonment by the Inter­ state Commerce Commission and for no subsidy is most of the Chessie System line between Maninstee and Petoskey. The segment between Grawn and Bates and the sections between Charlevoix and Petoskey would be retained on subsity, subject to future profitability. Only one Lake Michigan Port will ultimately receive state subsidy for rail freight service. For the time being, the subsidy will continue for the port of Frankfort/ Elberta. Others which may be considered are Ludington and Muskegon. Service across the Straits of Mackinac in the carferry, Chief Wawatam, will continue for Michigan based traffic, but the number of crossings will decrease if the Michigan Northern doesn't continue its Petoskey-toMackinaw City service at its own expense. The only other line operating from Mackinaw City is the Detroit and Mackinac Railway Company. A decision to apply a surcharge to freight carried on the Eaton Rapids-Rives Junction Conrad route, has been postponed until July 19, according to Congress­ man Howard Wolpe, who welcomed the decision. According to Wolpe, the surcharge would have cost shippers and receivers and estimated $500,000.00 per year and might require reductions in company pay­ rolls. The postponement only delays the final decision on the surcharge. According to Wolpe, the delay, “would allow the shippers and receivers some time to consider other freight-carrying options." The Interstate Commerce Commission is expected to resume its consideration of the Conrail case on July 19. �1HEHASTINGS BANNER, Wwlnwfay, July 8,1981, Pag.2 I Obituaries IIP T cuinxor DR.

Savings noured up to $100,000 More Medical Benefits Available to Motorcyclists the motorcycle rider had no auto insurance, medical coverage was provided through the no-fault policy of the car involved in the accident. Baerwaldt said, under lhe new law, if a motorcyclist is injured in an accident involv­ ing a car. he or she will receive no-fault medical benefits from the policy on the car involved in the accident. The motorcyclist's car insurance would not have to provide medical benefits unless both the owner and the operator of the car were uninsured. Before these changes in the law, owners of motorcycles often had difficulty finding affordable car insurance, because of the extra exposure to medical losses resulting from their motorcycle riding. Many motorcyclists had to pay extra for car insurance because I hey owned a motorcycle. "I have notified car insurers that extra car insurance premium charges based on motorcycle owner­ ship are no longer allowed," the Commissioner said. In exchange for the change in the order of payment of nofault medical insurers-and, Ihrough them, motorcycle owners-now share in the cost of medical benefits for catastrophic injuries, such as quadraplegia, to motorcyclists involved in Hastings accidents with cars, Baerwaldt said. Motorcycle insurers now participate in the Michigan Catastrophic Claims Association, which will pay all medical coses on no-fault claims of $250,000 or more. Many insurers are passing the cost of this membership, $6.76 per motorcycle, through to their insureds, she said.

For the most part, the most innovative ideas have come in districts where overcrowding is a problem, and new schools could not be built fast enough to keep up with the baby boom populcions of a decade ago. Now the trend has reversed itself, and ideas are needed on how to stretch resources in an era of terribly tight budgets. Local resident Lee Hamp, who has seen his children and grandchildren go through the Hastings schools, has an idea which at least deserves consideration. It no doubt has its weaknesses, but so does a policy of fbreever doing things as they have been done in the past. 1 Basically, Lee's idea is similar to what many employers are doing to give employees more time off while not limiting their output-go to a longer day, but fewer of them. Lee simply suggests going to a four-day school week, by making the school day longer. The schools now let out in mid-after­ noon, so extending the day would more nearly coincide with the usual adult working hours. The exact times would have to be worked out, though Lee has suggested 7:45 a.m. to 4 p.m. as a possibility. The savings are obvious in transport­ ation and energy use. Transportation could automatically be cut by 20%, since it is almost entirely dependent on miles and hours spent. During the cold months, when the heat can be turned down on non-schod days, the energy savings should be substantial. We can already hear the negative reaction before the proposal is hardly out. But who has a better one? While we're on the subject, the school year could be changed. The school board trimmed the school year by three days, which allowed a small reduction in transport­ ation costs. But the days were taken off the end of the year, when buildings are not heated. Had the days off been added to Christmas vacation, there would have bean heat saved, as well. Why not let kids go to school through the month of June, and take additional time off in mid-winter, when heat costs are high and transportation difficult? The point is not that the __________ above proposals are necessarily the beat possible. But they represent the kind of thinking that the school boards and the employee organizaitons should be doing. It's easiest to make a decision by simply not considering change. That lazy approach was adequate for years, but now we need the beat of now, innovative ideas. As always, more public discussion can only lead to more good possibiHties. Bits & Pieces: Our friend and neighbor Dick Freer always has a good yam, and we especially like the one he told us the other day. He had a house for rent, which he advertised in the Banner.

Thanks, Jane, I had merdfuMy forgotten them. To the Editor: This letter is in response to a ticket received in Tyden Park. The ticket was issued for having an animal in the park. In this situation the animal was our horse pulling our buggy. Pm sure there could be vouchers as to the fact that we use this means as a way of not only for enjoyment but also for errands at the area merchants. Our horse is used also as a means of gardening. We are not out to do dismeans nor have we in the past. The hone stays on the pavement just as the vehicles do, when parked. She is parked as so. We feel we can safely say our horse has done less damage than the bikes being ridden through the grass. As for any deposits left befind, they are not permanent on the drive as the marks left behind by a car. We feel that officer Atkinson should have more needed duties to take care of rather than to go around ticketing in a rather substantial difference in the traffic here it would make its suppliers think twice before dealing here. Sitting back and doing nothing only contribures to the problem, not to mention destroying millions of kids. All the issues presently going on are important.

The difference reflected the annual automatic cost-of-living raise designed to offset the effects of inflation. The increase means that the retired worker who received a benefit equal to the average monthly payment of $337 before this month, now receives $374 a month. The maximum benefit for the worker retiring in 1981 at age 66 is $752.90, up from $677. The average survivors benefit to a widow with two minor children is $870. up from 1782. For a disabled worker and family, the average payment is $817, up from $731. An individual who received the maximum monthly Federal SSI benefit of $238 now gets $264.70, and a couple who received the maximum ninthly payment of $857 now gets $397. In 1972, the Social Security Law was amended to provide for automatic benefit increases whenever the Consumer Price Index rose 3 points or more from one year to the next. This eliminated the need for periodic action to keep benefits from lagging behind increases in the cost of living. It also removed the pressure and anxiety of living on fixed incomes from Social Security beneficiaries. The first automatic cost-of -living in<ease in July 1975 was 8 percent. Since then benefits were increased 6.4 percent in 1976, 5.9 percent in 1977, 6.5 percent in 1978, 9.9 percent in 1979, and 14.3 percent in 1960. The estimated fiscal year 1982 cost of the social security benefit increase to the trust funds is $15.4 billion. The SSI increase will cost an estimated $600 million, paid from general funds of the Treasury. SSI payments are made to people who are 65 or over or blind or disabled who have little or no income and limited assets. SSI recipients who also get social security benefits did not see the cost-of-living increase in both checks. That’s because social security benefits count as income which reduces the SSI benefit amount. �Wesf Woodland News Wert Woodland for a one-day honey-rr.oon By VICTOR SISSON trip to Kings Island, Ohio.

Two new houses are in the process of going up on the north side of M-43 in the mile east of Rush Road. The Overbecks have sold a part of their farm, including the buildings to Robert and Katherine Forsyth of Williamston and are putting up a new house a short distance east of their present home. They have already erected a two stall cement block garage and plan to start work on a one story brick house as soon as possible. The Forsyths and their three children will probably be moving here as soon as the house is vacated. A little farther east a pole barn is being erected and a ranch type house will be going up there as soon as they can get electricity back there. The Mescars from Carlton Center purchased a little over eleven acres of the Overbecks and have sold their home and land to Tony Barcroft whose parents farm boarders it on the west. The Mesecars want a smaller house and have plans for a one story house with a walk out basement. They expect­ ed to have a fireplace in the basement and are concentrating on features that will provide the maximum of heat in the winter at a minimum expense. These new homes and the landscaping that will follow will surely make a great change in that area of M-43.

GOVERNOR; The bus tours, which were tested with great success in the Upper Peninsula last year, have proven to be a boost to the economy rather than a drain on it. The program will be expanded this year to include Marquette, Munising, St. Ignace, Traverse City and Dear­ born. The sightseeing bus tours encourage tourists to spend more time in one place. When the tours were tested last summer, an extra day in an area was shown to generate additional tourist spending. Equally important, the tours have proven to be an effective way for travelers to save significantly on gasoline expenses while enjoying the area’s many outstanding attractions. In its initial summer last year, the St. Ignace tour was used by 2,300 people, and local businesses reported and increase of $100,000 in tourist spending in the area. The new Dearborn­ based tour will indude visits to the Renaissance Center, Meadowbrook Estate, Frankenmuth and Huckle­ berry Railroad. The Traverse City-based tour will visit Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, the National Music Camp at Interlochen, Fishtown in Leland, a vineyard in Leelanau County and the Platte River Fish Hatchery near Honor. The tour from Marquette will stop at the National Ski Hall of Fame in Ishepeming, the Jackson Mine Museum in Negaunee and Pictured The spoon as we know it today, with its spatu­ late handle, dates from only the 18th century. Rocks National Lakeshore. The Munising tour heads southward into the Garden Peninsula with stops at a ghost town and other historic attractions kt Fayette, and a visit to the Thompson Fish Hatchery near Manistique. The eastern Upper Peninsula tour will remain the same, starting in St. Ignace with visits to Tahquamenon Falls and the Soo Locks. Local chambers of commerce opeiate the tours in conjunction with the Michigan Department of Transpcrtation and the Upper Great Lakes Regional Commission. The cost is $6.50 for adults and 13 for children. This summer's sightseeing bus tour program started Friday, June 26 in St. Ignace and Sunday, June 28 at the other locations.

Page 4 MICHIGAN MIRROR fAsk The Governor Lawmakers Looking Ahead to Tax Question By WARREN M. HOYT Legislature Looks To Fall For Tax and Business Issues Legislative leaders are looking to the fall session to deal with the ever present issues of taxes and economic development as the summer session ended with little results in those areas. Leaders, however, promised to continue working throughout the summer on business and other issues. The first six months of the 81st session was marked by the development of the docmed Proposal A and a Detroit aid package. Leaders labelled the session a "difficult and frustrating one." During the waning hours of the session, rumors filtered through the Capitol Building that a final push would be attempted to gain property tax relief prior to the summer recess. House and Senate Republican and Democratic caucuses all had plans they thought were what Michigan citizens wanted and demanded. A possible struggle in the House over the property tax plan did not develop as Democrats decided to appoint a special task force to work over the summer to recommend a property tax proposal for fall. That task force will consist of just Democrats-the Democratic members of the House Taxation Committee and a cross-sec­ tion of other caucus members. • • • House Speaker Bobby Crim called the session extremely frustrating and predicted the fall session could be difficult as well. He said it was clear that any property tax reform vxould have to be done legislatively as the voters have consistently turned down the property tax issues on the belot. House Republicen Leader William Bryant said despite the emphasis on property taxes, the Legislative leaders must not forget an earlier commitment to spend the summer SAVE CASH 4-H NEWS 4-Hers Invited to Free ...And don’t miss an issue SUBSCRIBE to the Hastings Banner Your Twice - Weekly Newspaper Only $ 10.00 for 52 Weeks - 104 Issues Save s 10.80 Compared to The Newstand Price Sena or bmg ths coupon to * The Hasting* Banner, I 3J1 S.

Milliken said he welcomes the legislative initiatives on taxes, without stating an endorsement on any of the • —**ages. He said a tax cut proposal 'is an appropriate issue for the fall cession. The most important issue is an economic growth package." Milliken said he would have more to say on economic growth proposals as the Legislature returns for the fall session. New Tax Petition Drive Begins A petition drive has been launched seeking a vote on an amendment to eikniante business taxes, cut income taxes while protecting funds for schools, local govern­ ment and public and mental health. Dick Jacobo of GrandBlanc, leader of the drive, said the amendment is needed in order to re-stimuiate the state's economy. Because of the deep cuts in revenue and the restrictions against cutting appropriations in specified areas, the proposed amendment would probably mean dramatic cuts in welfare programs. Other large spending areas not protected include prisons and natural resources. The amendment would cut income tax rates from 4.6 to 4 percent whRo increasing the personal exemption by 40 percent and providing further increases in the exemption tied to cost of living increases. Further the amendment would repeal the Single Business Tax and prohibit any successor taxes. Any now and increoeed taxes would hwa to bo approved by a majority vote of the people.

I Question: My daughter didn't get out of school until June 30th this year because of a long teacher's strike in the fall. What are the chances of this happening again this September? Governor: The number of teacher strikes during the 1980-81 school year dropped significantly from 1979-80; 557,951 students were affected in 70 districts in 1979- 80, compared with 157,506 in 37 districts in 1980- 81. I am hopefui that this trend will continue and that the decreasing number of strikes will set the stage for more settlements at the bargaining table in the future. While strikes receive a great deal of publicity, most differences between teachers and administration are resolved without walkouts. In the past, I have supported legislative changes which I believed would help resolve conflicts. Unfortunately, the bills in their final form did not substantially improve the system of collective bargaining. I vetoed these bills in the hope that legislation could be enacted to improve the collective bargaining system. I support legislation which provides for the legalizaiton of the right to strike, but only with economic sanctions that encourage both teachers and the administration to resolve disputes quickly. Pressure is needed on both sides if we are ;o resolve disputes at the local level. The possibility of a teacher’s strike in your district next fall depends to a great extent on the relationship which has been established between the teachers and the administration in your district. An evaluation of the climate between teachers and the administration will help you estimate the chances of a strike in your neighborhood. Question: Do you support the proposed legislation which makes businesses with more than 100 employees give a year’s notice to al! employees before dosing a plant: Governor: Despite the good intentions of the advocates of this proposal, I think such a bill would seriously dampen efforts to rebuild Michigan's economy. It would place Michigan at a competitive disadvantage with other states and would be a substantial deterrent to future job expansion. We cannot attract new jobs by imposing added restrictions on business activities. The way to encourage expansion and retain the jobs of our current labor force is to improve the overall business climate and make the most of the many advantages Michigan offers to prospective business. If the proposed legislation reaches my desk, I would, without hesitation, veto it. Lawn and Garden Tips By DAVID W. MERCK ExteaabsAgriodtwe AgeM . Ibe spring planting rush is over and the main harvest is yet to come, but that doesn't mean July is for putting your feet up and ignoring the lawn and garden. The one thing cropping up faster than weeds now is gardening tasks. Extension specialists at Michigan State University suggest the following tasks are timely this month: -Sharpen mower blades occasionally. Dull blades tear grass leaves rather than cutting them; tearing reduces turf quality and plant vigor and makes the lawn look less attractive. -During hot summer weather, raise the mowing height of your mower by an inch or so. Cutting the grass a little longer reduces stress and helps the lawn stay ahead of summer annual weeds. -Get expert help to identify disease and insect problems showing up in lawns stressed by hot, dry weather. Treat diseases as necessary and water and fertilize your lawn to keep it healthy and vigorous. This is your first defense against sod webworms and other insect pests and diseases. -To help lawns recover from lusarium blight, apply one-half pound uf actual nitrogen per 1,000 square feet of lawn every four weeks and water once or twice a day through September if rain isn't sufficient. -Now's the time to control quackgrass, bentgrass, tall fescue and other perennial weeds in lawns, especially if you plan to seed a new lawn or renovate an old one in August or early September. Use lawn herbicides carefully, according to label directions, to avoid injuring landscape and garden plants. (Tomatoes are especially susceptible to herbicide injury). -Control early and late blight and anthracnose on tomatoes with a garden fungicide labeled for tomatoes. Next year, shop for varieties resistant to these diseases. -Water the vegetable garden thoroughly once a week when rainfall amounts to less than an inch. Deep watering promotes deep root growth, which helps plants withstand drouth. -Prevent blossom end rot in tomatoes, eggplant, peppers and summer squash by watering and mulching these crops so they aren't subjected to drastic fluctuations in soil moisture. How often you have to water depends on your soil-light, sandy .soils dry out much faster than heavy clay or organic soils, so crops grown on light soils may need more frequent watering. --Fertilize most vegetables with one pound cl nitrogen per 1,000 square feet around July 4. Sprinkle dry fertilizer on the soil a few inches away from plants, work it into the soil and then water. Hold off fertilizing tomatoes, peppers, eggplant and squash until they have set some fruit. Too much nitrogen before fruit set will promote loss of foliage growth at the expense of flower and fruit production. -Control caterpillars on garden vegetables. Horn­ worms on tomatoes can usually be controlled without chemicals-simply pick or snip them off the plants and destroy them. Tomato fruitworms in tomatoes and corn borers in peppers are untouchable once they're inside the fruits, so protective chemical sprays may be necessary. Loopers and cabbage worms on cabbage, broccoli and the other cole crops can be handled very nicely by Bacillus thuringiensis, a bacterial disease of caterpillars sold under the trade names Dipel and Thuridde. It leaves no toxic residues and so can be used right up to harvest. For continuing control, reapply it after rain or overhead irrigation and treat new growth as it appears. -Transplant cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage and Chinese cabbage; and sov seeds of radishes, spinach, onions, beans, beets and lettuce for a fall harvest. -Keep summer squash, peppers and cucumbers producing by picking fruits while they're still immature.

Make Monkeys Out of Garden Munching Bunnies If rabbits nave been demolishing your vegetable garden, take what consolation you can find in the fact that you’re not alone. Glenn Dudderar, Extension wildlife specialist, reports that problems with rabbits in gardens seem worse than usual this year. He attributes it to two mild winters back-to-back and a good spring for rabbit reproduction. If rabbits are wiping you out, of course, you’re less interested in why than in what to do about it. One approach might be to plant only crops that rabbits usually don't favor. These include tomatoes, peppers, potatoes and egg plant (all members of the nightshade family - presumably only tomato hornworms and potato beetles can stand the taste); the cucurbits (cucumbers, melons and summer and winter squash), and radishes. An alternative is to plant thecrops that rabbits enjoy broccoli and the other cole crops, snap beans, carrots, beets, lettuce, spinach and other leafy greens - in large enough quantities that you can afford to share them. Whether this is successful depends in large part on just how many rabbits you're dealing with. In a suburban neighborhood with only a few bunnies, sharing may work just fine. If you’re gardenting in or on the fringe of a rural area, where rabbit habitat and its residents are abundant, you may have to take direct action to prevent rabbit raids on the warden. The usual remedy recommended for rabbits is chicken wire fencing. To do the job, the wire needs to be at least 36 inches wide with mesh no larger than inch. Most of the damage to gardens now is being done by this spring's baby rabbits. They’re independent of their mothers when they're about the size of a hamster, and at that size, they can pop through 1-inch wire mesh without wrinkling a hair. To keep rabbits from digging their way under the fence, fasten it to posts in an L-shape, with about six inches of wire lapping outward fro mt he garden on the ground. This is better than burying me bottom o! the fence because it’s easier, and because it confuses the rabbits. Their natural inclination when they run up against the fence is to dig. Foiled by the wire underfoot, they are not likely to be able to figure out that they need to step backwards and then dig. Some gardeners perfer to use bird netting rather than chicken wire. They string wire or cord between fence poets placed around the garden and hang 36 inch netting on the wire so that a couple of folds drape on to the ground. It's a simple matter to flip it up onto the wire to mow or till under it. Like chicken wire, it last for years, but it’s easier to roll up and store. A reliable chemical repellent registered for use against rabbits is Hinder. Unless you live in the western or southeastern Michigan fruit-growing regions, however, you'll probably find it is not readily available in garden stores. If you can get hold of it, it's easy to use: simply mix it with water according to label directions (the concentra­ tion varies with the magnitude of the rabbit problem) and spray it on the crops you want to protect. Hinder, an odor repellent, has the usual drawbacks of chemical repellents: it gets less effective over time and it washes off. Of course, if it didn't wash of, it would probably repel you, too. When the rabbit population is tow and rabbits have alternative fond sources, a light treatment of the garden with Hinder should do the job. If there are tots of rabbits, you have to use a stronger concentration and treat the garden and the vegetation around it very thoroughly. Because it is an odor repellent and not a tase repellent, you do not have to worry about treating all new growth as it appears, but you do have to re-treat after a typical torrential Michigan downpour to keep the chemical barrier effective. A number of other repellents of various sorts are available. Some people have success using blood or bone meal or concoctions of Thiram, napthalene and other materials. Whether these work tends to depend on the size jf the rabbit population, how motivated the rabbits are, and how diligent the gardener is in applying and reapply ing the stuff. Over the long run, these materials tend to be unreliable. and some are fairly expensive. A home remedy that some people nave n&d fairly good lucx wicn is used kitty litter. Moat rabbits have had bad experiences with cats, and used kitty litter scattered around the garden imparts a strong odor of cat. It's especially likely to be effective if the famfly cat or cats spend time outside the house. Rabbits getting a whiff of cat won t know whether the odor means a eat is stalking them, end the possibility may make them nervous enough to fine their munchies elsewhere. Like other repellents, kitty Utter needs to be renewed occasionally. Trapping as a control method can be highly effective if you’re dealing with the neighborhood rabbit or two. In an area with a large rabbit population, however, you can trap rabbits until you're blue in the face without making any noticeable difference in the local population or the damage to your garden. Momma rabbit and her friends will simply crank out baby rabbits faster than you can catch tern. Controlling rabbit damage by reducing the population works much better if you start early - January is about right. If you wait until rabbits are reproducing in every overgrown fencerow, it’s too late. When choosing a control method, consider your situation and the number of animals you have to deal with. Then choose the method* that's likely to give you the best results fcr the least money, time and effort spent. When rabbit numbers are small and garden space is limited, chemicals are probably the best bet. In a large garden, especially if pressure from rabbits is high, a physical barrier would probably give the most protection over the longest period of time for the least money. . Finally, before you get all excited about controlling rabbits, make sure it's rabbits that are doing the damage. Rabbits tend to nip off the tops of plant, eat part and drop part on the ground. Cutworms tend to snip off plants less neatly and leave the whole top lying where it falls. Woodchucks nip off the tops and eat al) of them. (If your garden looks as if it's been freshly mowed, the culprit is probably a woodchuck rather than a rabbit.) Rabbit tracks and droppings are other fairly reliable indications of rabbit raids on the garden.

Ruppe is a former congressman who was immensely popular in his district, which is traditionally a Democratic stronghold. He admits that he is probably not as conservative as the general tenor in Reagan's Washington, but he says ho is for the most part comfortable with the fiscal policies of tha new administration. Ruppe seemed to be making a lot of new friends at the Gilmer bash, where he spent most of the evening. It was, thank goodness, not a token appearance, and not a formal one. formal one. He spent a lot of time just chatting with people from Barry and Kalamazoo Counties. As usual a lot of Barry County Republicans attended the Gflmer affair.

Yes, the dock actually was running backwards in the City Council chamber Monday evening during the council meeting. The dock has a quirk which sometimes allows it to mix up its directions. But on the advice of City Clerk Donna Kinney, Police Chief Bill Brandt solved the problem by simply unplugging the dock and plugging it in again. The dutiful dock responded to his badge of authority and started off in the right direction again. A large brown envelope came in the mail the other day that we just couldn't wait to open.

Wastewater moves up the 22-foot pipe at right to begin its trip through the treatment plant. Three Residents of the area served by the new Gun Lake sewer system Friday flocked to see the plant which processes their wastewater. The occasion was an open house for the new system, held at the plant south of Gun Lake which is the focal point. The visitors got half-hour tours of the plant and a full explanation of how it works. Andrew Downing, manager of the Gun Lake Sewer Authority, said that about 1,500 of the 2,000 homes to be served by the system are hooked up, and the rest are expected to hookup this year. The system is designed to be adequate until well into the next century. At present, plant personnel explained, the plant is operating at a relatively low level, because the flow is small compared to the plant's ability. Injured in Car-Train Crash A maze of pumps, pipes, valves and compressors move the water and chemicals needed for the plant operation.

Co-sponsored by the Michigan Association of Concerned Veterans and the Battle Creek Veterans Administration Medical Center, the program is an innovative alternative to V.A. services delivered solely through the medical center. The service experiences of Vietnam and Vietnam era veterans caused new problems for this generation's veterans. Post Vietnam trauma, unemployment and underemployment, an increase in drug and alcohol abusing veterans, less than honorable discharges, and the Agent Orange controversy have challenged the traditional V.A. system.

Hanover. different response to these problems with the establish­ ment of Operation Outreach, 90 storefront service centers located in major cities. These centers are almost entirely staffed by Vietnam era veterans and attracted many veterans who viewed the V.A. with suspicion and mistrust. But hundreds of thousands of vets living outside cities had no access lo these centers. This pilot program initiates a mini-operation outreach program. One of the first of its kind in the country, it is also staffed by Vietnam era veterans from both inside and outside the V.A. Il is hoped that this project can eventually be expanded to supplement the major outreach program. Hastings Area ALGONQUIN LAKE BIBLE CHUHCH. 2625 Airport Rd. David Thompson Pstor.

Sterenberg’s lot is north of Hynes’ lot and these two are separated by a strip of land approximately 11' Wide, which runs between Gun Lake and Trails End Road. Mr. Swainston's land is east of and across Trails End Road from the Sterenberg property. The suit stales that for a period of time after 1971. Sw-ainston was granted permission to use the Sterenberg lol for the purpose of taking Swain­ ston's boat to the lake and using the Sterenbergdock in Gun Lake. Permission was revoked in 1978. Swainston subsequently erected a portable dock and located it at the end of the 11’ strip between the Sterenberg and Hynes properties. Suit further stales that Swainston has no ownership and no legal right in the 11’ property and that right of way over the 11' strip for ingress and egress to the lake was never effectively conveyed Io Swainston.

Groups performing were the Peter Family, Darlene and Lynette DeGroote, and the Hope Trio. Veterans of previous Fair gospel sings, the Hope Trip opened this year's concert and were warmly received. Made up of Bob Neil, Dan Reid and Ron Hesterly, this group has been singing in the Barry County area and throughout Michigan since 1968. They ended their set by leading the audience in the singing of Bill Gaither's classic "He Touched Me." Darlene and Lynette DeGroote performed next and were well received by the enthusiastic crowd. All of the songs they shared were written by Darlene. Her songs had to do with a wide variety of subjects, from mother and daughter relationships to reaching our Heavenly home.

Putting on an exciting show, Orion developed a warm relationship with the audience right from the start. Those in the crowd, heavily affected by the threat of rain, came from as far away as Ohio and Indiana lo hear him. Orion's voice is identical to the late, great, Elvis Presley. He projects the same excitement in concert as did Elvis. The area in front of the Sandyland stage found people taking pictures of him throughout the concert. Many of the songs Orion performed were in the “Rockabilly” tradition started by Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash and Elvis. In fact, he sapg his first single, a duel he recorded with Lewis, called, "Save the Last Dance For Me.” Backed by a four man band called Universe, Orion so impressed those seeing him for the first lime, that they were seen after the show trying to find out when he would be playing in this area again. Coming to Sandyland on August 2, are Nat Stuckey and Carmol Taylor. and Carol Havens. WEST STATE STREET IN HASTINGS ONE FULL WEEK JULY19th to 25th have a signed permission slip.

By WARREN M. HOYT Inmate Discipline Charged In Recent Prison Riots Inmate discipline, or the ability to demand it, was the most recurrent theme noted as the major cause of recent rioting at three Michigan prisons according to a preliminary report issued by the chairman of a special joint legislative committee investigating the riots. The disturbances a: Jackson, Ionia and Marquette gained national attention in late June and resulted in more than $9 million in damage and other costs. In presenting the report. Representative Jeff Padden (D-Wyandotte), chairman of the joint committee and the standing House Committee on Corrections, said a final report would be issued prior to the opening of the fall legislative session. He added the final report would include specific recommendations for legislation to head off future disturbances. The report cited several other factors, including the oft-mentioned unauthorized lockup by prison guards, the removal or the good-time provision from sentencing, the Department of Corrections inadequate budget, subtle racial tensions and over­ crowding at the institutions. Padden said there was no effective vehicle for enforcing prison discipline. He noted interviews of both prisoners and employees pointed out that the elimination of good-time credit (removed with voter approval of Proposal B in the 1978 general election took away the most effective management tool of the department-that being removal of time credit for good and proper action during incarceration. The report went on to say as a result of longer sentences and no good-time, a larger portion of the state's prison population is serving long, flat sentences. It concluded that for persons in this category, there is no reason or incentive for them to adhere to institutional rules or refrain from assaultive predatory behavior. Padden was very critical of the department's administration in their appearances before the legislative appropriations committee in gaining the necessary funding to properly run the institutions to protect the public as well as the prison employees and prisoners. "It is not possible to underfund the prisoners or the Department of Corrections without affecting the system,’’ Padden declared. He said the department's administration should have resisted in allowing the Depart­ ment of Management and Budget to set the corrections budget figures. "There are times and situations which warrant breaking from the Milliken team in going for higher, necessary budget levels." Responding to the charges, department Director Perry M. Johnson declared the d* ->artment had been "treated very fairly by both the executive office and the Legislature" given the need to be extremely conservative in financial matters. Johnson added tne department has had to absorb fewer budget cuts than have many other state departments given the situation at the state's correctional facilities. The corrections director countered with his own Charges that the Legislature did not fully fund his and executive office requests during the current fiscal year. He said the department budget request was $202 million, but the Legislature saw fit to appropriate only $1902 million. Johnson also added the Legislature forced the reduction of the department's salary and wage accounts at the prisons by $1.1 million during the current fiscal year and forced the transfer of funds from that account to a retirement account as pari of a forced $2 million budget lapse. "We have always clearly articulated our budget needs to the Legislature and we have understood and accepted the reduced appropriations as the result of difficult economic times," Johnson responded. The preliminary report further said that while it was not a riot triggering factoi per se, overcrowding continues to pose serious problems for the department, guards and prisoners. It indicated that overcrowding removes any flexibility in dealing with prisoners "in a safe and humane" manner. Padden concluded the preliminary report attempted not to be an over-simplifi­ cation of the issue. He said the committee was working toward an understanding before "plunging" ahead in making legislative recommendations. He said the committee would be working for a cooperative effort by all parties involved for a mutually .......... satisfactory resolution. 4-H NEWS By DAVID W.

Don’t try to lure a raccoon into your trap with sweet corn, Dudderar advises. The animal will not go into a trap to get some­ thing that’s available to it without any risk. "Drift trapping" involves setting two box traps back to back at an angle to the fence around the sweet corn patch and hoping that the raccoons checking the fence for easy entry points will bumble into them. Experienced raccoons will not bother to circle the fence, of course-lhey'll be up and over in no time. They also won’t stay trapped very long. Young raccoons, however, or those that have not been trapped before, may fall easy victim to box traps. Some organic gardeners swear by a wide planting of winter squash around a corn patch. They claim the tangle of. sticky squash stems* Sometimes the only way to avoid raccoon problems in sweet corn is to buy your corn rather than grow it and let the ether fellow worry about protecting his crop. If you’d rather get your corn the hard way, there are some steps you can take to defend it, but they tend tj require both labor and expense. Glen Dudderar, Extension wildlife specialist at Michigan Stale University, suggests fencing raccoons out. Attach 48-inch chicken wire to posts to make a C-shaped fence 30 inches high, the bottom of the C should extend 6 inches out from the posts, and the top leg 12 inches. The wire on the ground should keep the raccoons from digging under the fence, and the projecting 12 inches at the top should prevent their climbing over it. Dudderar explains. "If you try to skimp and make the fence less than 30 inches high, or if you bend of sticky squash stems the top part of the C down encourages raccoons to toward the ground, you forage elsewhere. Others might find the raccons claim a five-inch band of reaching up and grabbing agricultural lime around the top of the fence, pulling sweet corn will repel the it down and using it like a raccoons, becuase t hey don't step ladder to climb over,’' like to get the lime on their he cautions. paws.

Bruce Gee arranged for Bill Karpinski, Athletic Director at Hastings High School, Brad King, a recent graduate and star athlete, and Dr. Jim Atkinson to make presentations to the club. Karpinski said emphasis of athletics in the educational system is im'ortant, “It’s a secondhalf of education," he said. "It gives the school system and the citizens something to rally around and is a socializing, stabilizing force, for the school and community,” said Karpinski. Karpinski stressed values of an athletic program, the most important of which being that athletics is a great teacher. Athletics teaches a person that to be a success one must work, one can’t be phoney. Athletics teaches a person to work on one’s own weakness and how to change it to become a strength. "Excuses are not acceptable in sports," Karpinski continued. Becrming a winner requires doing the best you can with what you have. “You can’t excell by talking a big game - you must show it on the athletic field," he said. "Athletics teaches one how to win and how to lose. You don’t get that from a classroom,” continued Karpinski. Learning to handle fear, channel and direct that fear and have it work in a positive way is another benefit of an athletic program. Athletics teaches mental and physical preparedness - how to be razor sharp when it counts. Success is not automatic athletes must prepare and Brad King, a 1981 Hastings High graduate and athletic star during hL years in school, told Hastings Rotarians Monday how an athletic program in the school system was of great benefit to him and others. & a r J Bill Karpinski, Athletic Director at Hastings High School, talked to Hastings, Rotarians at their weekly meeting Monday, July 20, regarding the values of an athletic program. Dr. Jim Atkinson addressed Rotarians July 20, and outlined plans the Hastings Saxon Athletic Boosters have for raising $50,000.00 to fund athletics in the school system. Dr. Atkinson is co-chairman, with Larry Baum, of the Hastings Saxon Athletic Boosters. practice. “Athletics teaches confidence, how to handle pressure and developes leadership," concluded Kar­ pinski. Brad King, star athlete when he was a student at Hastings High School, told of the benefits of a formal athletic program. King, a winner of the George (Buzzl Youngs award as being the outstanding male athlete, related how the diciplines of a formal athletic program were of great importance to him, namely in the area of maintaining a certain grade point average in order to qualify to participate in sports. “It’s sad," said King, “to see students come to school at 8:30 in the morning already drunk or even worse, getting into the heavier stuff like cocain. ** He said school is monotonous for some, and without athletics as an outlet. King said, “I don’t know what I would have done." “It all boils down to kids turning to athletics or booze," said King. King continued, staling "athletics and academics are two different things, but are combined. The school’s really going to hurt without athletics.” He said many people who aren’t athletes get- involved in the athletic programs. Many athletes make big money, but it all starts right on the high school level. “Athletics are extremely important to maintaining a sound educational program." concluded King. Dr. Jim Atkinson, who with Larry Baum, are co-chairmen of the Hastings Saxon Athletic Boosters, formed to raise money, hopefully $50,000.00 to fund 26 sports for the coming year. The 26 sports does not include any freshman sports, however. The Boosters have tax-deductible status so any donation can be deducted by the donor as a charitable contribution. Atkinson outlined two major phases of the Boosters' drive for funds. The first involves the “give­ away” of a 1981 Chevy Chevette. Many people are involved in selling tickets and hopefully $30,000.00 can be raised on this project. The second project involves the Century Club. A person contributes $100.00 to the Boosters and in return receives an admission ticket to all Hastings High and Junior High athletic events for the 1981-82 season. “If you went to all the events and paid al the gate it would cost $110.00 to $115.00," said Dr. Atkinson. “But the point is,” he concluded "to help support the athletic program. And we’re still looking for more support.” Bill Wilson, a familiar winner in past years at the fair, showed the grand champion market hog Tues­ day. He also showed the reserve grand champion, and his pen of lightweight hogs was reserve champion pen. More stories and photos on pages 3, 4 and 5. Trick Reunites Father and Son Mart Harrison was the Grand Champion in dog obedience. Deputy Chief Gordon Trick of Hastings Police Depart mer.t was responsible for reuniting a Hailings man with his son. whom he has not seen for about 20 years. The boy, born in Hastings, moved with his mother to another part of the State many years ago. The boy’s mother only told him that he was born in Hastings. He didn't know about his dad or of the existence of any paternal family. The youngman recently had an opportunity to pass through town. He arrived here last week and decided to first ge’ a copy of his birth certificate. In the process, his path crossed with that of Deputy ('hief Trick During the conversation, the lad told Trick why he was in town. Trick, born in Hickory Corners and a lifetime Barry County resident, knows just about everyone, par icularly with his vast law enforce­ ment background over the years. After learning the boy’s name, Trick informed him that he knew his dad and offered to call the gentleman, who said he would meet them immediately. Extremely elated at the thought of finally meeting his father, the young man anxiously awaited his father’s arrival. After a long-pasl-due reunion, the boy and his dad returned to the father’s Has ings home where the boy not only would have a chance to get to know his dad, hut also Io become acquainted with the rest of the family he yearned to *et m« for many years. �THE HASTINGS BANNER, Wednesday, July 22,1981, Page 2 Masons Celebrate Obituaries GEORGE R.

Mediator to Intervene Negotiations between Hastings teachers and the Hastings Area Board of Education broke down last week, according to Robert Miller. Administrative Assistant Non-Instruction. A state mediator will be contacted in hopes of resolving the dispute. The deadlock appears to center upon enconomic issues, with the Board of Education proposing that all wages and other economic items be frozen for one year. “Considering the financial condition of our school system, the Board has reluctantly asked all of its employee groups to hold the line," Miller said. To date, agreements calling for wage freezes have been reached with Custodial-Maintenance, Chapter Local 1910, AFSCME-AFL-CIO, Hastings School Food Service, Chapter Local 1910, AFSCME, AFL-CIO and all Supervisors. An agreement with the Hastings Bus Drivers Association to extend the existing contract with a wage freeze has been reached. Negotiations are still in progress with the Hastings Secretarial Association and it is expected a settlement will be reached shortly.

July 27,1981 Hastings Juggles Administrators The Hastings school administration has put together a propsoal for re­ assigning administrators which leaves all but one school with part-time principals for al least half of the 1981-82 year. In an effort to eliminate the situations where principals teach part-time, as was the case in four schools last year, the proposals has several Myra McMellen’s sign reads, “What’s Wrong with Being a Senior Citizen?” She participated in the Senior Citizen Protest Friday. Senior Citizens Protest County Fund Shutoff Barry County senior citizens are up in arms over the refusal of the County Commissioners two weeks ago to appropriate $2,314 to the South Central Michigan Commission on Aging. The money represents the county's share of the operating expense of the South Central COA, which obtains and distributes state and federal money for senior citizens' programs in a fivecounty area. The senior citizens demonstrated at the Barry County Fair on Thursday and in the Hastings business district on Friday to express their displeasure with the decision. The Commissioners are expected to reconsider the action at their meeting Tuesday. July 28. The majority voting against the motion to make the payment are Otis Hermenift, Jack Love, Richard Landon. Walt Soya and Ed Daniels. These five have consistently taken conservative positions within the community this year. On many issues, these five are a minority. However, with the absence of Commissioners Albert Bell and Richard Sunior, they Dean Potter, a familiar face around Hastings, participated in the Senior Citizen Protest Friday, and could summon the votes to On Friday, in the larger of the two demonstrations, many senior citizens were brought to the Methodist Church parking lot by COA vans. They walked over to the court house, then went down through the business According to Radanl. the district on one side of State refusal of the county to pay St., and returned on the its $2,314 share will result in other side.

The COA administrative expenses run about 15%, she said, compared to 20 to 25% in other counties. Mrs. Wolf said that if the commissioners refuse to pay the $2,314 for the regional COA. she thinks the money can probably be raised from other sources. She said that nothing has been done to tap other sources, however, until after the commission­ ers reconsider the action on Tuesday. "We'll definitely be here next year," Mrs. Wolf assured The Banner. An official of the South Central Commission on Aging was not so certain that funds would be cut off if Barry County did not pay its local matching share, however. Deborah Russell, program manager for the South Central COA, said that she knows of nothing in any Jaws or regulations that require that group to withhold Barry's state and federal funds if the county declines to pay its dues. If Barry did not pay its share, Ms. Russell said, the South Central COA board would have to make a decision. No county has ever before refused to pay, she said, so it's a new situation. « She noted that it would be fl unfair for Barry to not pay its local matching share displays his sign, telling while the other counties pay people that, “I’m .Ashamed theirs. lo Live In Barry Count)." Ms. Russell said that the money which comes through Chairman Ken Radanl voted at first to support the payment, then switched his vote in a parlimenlary move so he could bring the issue up again this week. administrators dividing their time between schools, or between principals' posh ions and other jobs. The Banner understands that at least part of the reason is that in negotalions -which are closed to the public- the teachers insisted that administrators not be allowed to teach part-time as long as there are regular teachers in layoff status. If (he Hastings school board approves the plan at its next meeting, the administrators will be assigned as follows: Dave Arnold will be principal of both Central and Southeastern Schools. Last year, Arnold, who was formerly a fulltime principal at Central, taught half days at Central as well. Art McKelvey will continue being both principal and halftime teacher at Pleasantview. This represents no change. Lew Lang will be a half time principal at Northeast­ ern School. This past year, Lang taught halftime at the secondary level, and served halftime as directoi of instruction. Jack Hoke was principal at Northeastern and taught halftime in the school, and retired this summer. Ken Robbe will be fulltime prinicipal at the junior high school first semester, and has recently announced that he plans to retire at midyear. Second semester. Bob Miller, administrative assistant non-instruction, will serve as halftime principal at the junior high. Al Francik, who taught halftime and was halftime high school assistant principal, will teach full time fall semester. Second semester, he will again be Because the reassignment halftime assistant principal is being made after the at the high school, and will deadline for issuing also be half time assistant contracts. Styf will draw his principal at the junior high principal's salary this school. coming year, according to Bill Karpinski, who was Superintendent Richard halftime assistant principal Guenther.

Guenther said. her agency is 15% state and the rest federal, from the Older Americans Act. She estimated the Barry County amount at $127,425. which she said is based on the fact that Barry has 9.5% of the senior citizens in the fivecounty area. In Barry County, she said, the money is used as follows: meals program, including three sites and home-del­ ivered, $71,500; personal inhome care. $31,000; transportation, $8,000; senior center programming, $7,000; information and referral service. $6,700 and home-bound assessment program, $2,000. She said that each county's share is “reserved" for that county, and proposals are taken from local agencies to use it. In Barry, as in most rural counties, only the county COA has requested the funds. In urban counties like Kalamazoo and Calhoun, she said, several agencies get the state and federal funds ______ ________ to _ provide services for _____ senior___ citizens. lttO 4three ;,JVV Barry County ;has members on the regional COA-Merie Cooley.

VANIN-DONOVAN INSURANCE Suspicious Nearly a month after the July 9 fire that totally destroyed the Silver'Bullet Restaurant in Lake Odessa, i he cause still remains under investigation. State Police Fire Marshal Sgt. Mike Cook said the fire "appears suspicious and appears to have been set." Interior equipment has been removed with the services of a wrecker, using a hydraulic crane. Nothing appeared to be burned on the floor. Fire began in the ceiling of the basement where the fire began, according to Cook. Arson cannot be proven at this time, but Lake Odessa Chief of Police Glenn Desgranges asked that any­ one having information about the fire please contact the local police department or the State Arson Squad. He also said there is a $1,000.00 reward offered, paid by the Michigan State Arson Squad. Callers may remain anonymous and still get the reward, he said. Fire which destroyed the restaurant began shortly after 2:00 a.m. July 9. Fire departments ' from Woodland, Clarksville, -Grand Ledge, Hastings and Berlin-Orange responded, along with the Lake Odessa Fire Department. The Lake Odessa fire fighters remained at the scene over policy that protects you 24 hours a day around the world or across the street. And, you get instantaneous coverage.

HOYT Governor Says Tanner Wrong In Not Sending Surveillance Billings An Executive Office report to the Senate concluded that Department of Natural Resources Director Howard Tanner erred in not consulting with either the Legislature or the attorney general when he dediced not to send out air and water pollution surveillance fees bills prior to the statutory February 1 deadline. The report, however, also noted there was confusion in the statutes, requiring both the February 1 billing and a fee increase to be enacted by February 28. The surveillance program's budget included revenues from a proposed fee increase, but the Legislature failed to enact the fee increase to accompany the budget. Tanner decided to wait for legislative action on the fee increase, Disregarding the February 1 deadline so billings for 1981 could reflect the increased amount. The Legislature did not complete action on the surveillance fee bitts until late June. The report said that the confusion did not justify Tanner's decision to delay the billings and he should have sought advice from Attorney General Frank Kelley and the legislative leaders.

Milliken added that air and water pollution fee payers benefitted by being able to hold onto their money until fees were clearly resolved in new legntotion. Tanner's failure to send out the bWngs by the statutory deadline was brought to the attention of the. Legislature by Senator Joseph Mack (D-lronwood), long-time critic of the Department or Natural Resources and its top administration, specrficaky Tanner. Mack called for the Senate to demand that legal proceedings be instituted against Tanner and charged him with "non-feasance, mis-feasance and Marriage I irwses James Mater, Portage 23, and Jeri Thompson, Nashville, 22.

Instead of proceeding on its own, the Senate decided to request the governor conduct the study to determine whether any wrong doing occurred. The governor was given 60 days to complete the report or the Senate would levy charges. Mack was angered at the report, maintaining it showed Tanner demonstrated "non-feasance and malfeasance." He added the report was a "damn coverup fcr a damn poor administrator." The billing incident wil be part of an investigation a special Senate committee will conduct into the department's management. Mack said. The committee, chaired by Mack, w«l study the department to see how it is run.: The report to the Senate included a letter from Tanner outlining the steps he took deciding not to send the fee Mis. The fees ere charged to businesses emitting substances into air and water and help finance the air and water quafity budgets within the department. "....I had to weight a very difficult administrative decision with profound implications regardtosa of the choice. I derided, therefore, to wait, expecting that legislative action would clear up the confusion and direct us on how much to Ml and to whom. With the benefit of hindsight I erred in not seeking legislative guidance," Tanner said. The report conducted that Tanner was placed in an "untenable position of being accused of violating one or the other statute" becauae of the legMativeiy-craated conflict. Mack charged the executive office report to only "a flowery coverup.

McCarty of Hickory Corners and Mrs. James Stowell of Woodland. September has been designated by the National Health Council as the month for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to promote their major educational and fund raising campaign. The U.S. Congress has also formally declared September 20-26 as CF Week nationwide. The chairmen will orgainze campaigns to raise money for research, education, diagnosis and treatment of Cystic Fibrosis. Although Cystic Fibrosis is still the leading genetic cause of death among children, the average life expectancy is now the early twenties. The greatest health problems from CF are caused by increased lung damage from repeated infections and by malnutrition frominadequate digestion of food. With early diagnosis and daily therapy and medications, the quality and length of a child’s life is improved. It is estimated that 5 children are born every day with CF and 3 people die every day from CF. Shurlow Monday, A«ust 10th, 1981 Pols Open 7:00 a* - 8:00 pja.

High Speed BUSS OWBIOfflESS James Shurlow of Hastings, has recently been granted a Junior Membership in the Brown Swiss Cattle Breeders* Association of America. According to the Acting Secretary Treasurer, Virginia Gillette, of Beloit, Wisconsin, junior member­ ships give boys and girls who have had their ninth birthday before January 1 of thd current year, and who have not had their 19th birthday before this base date, the privilege of registering offspring from Brown Swiss females, owned by them individually at National Membership rates. A 4-H or FFA member who starts with two registered Brown Swiss heifers today can own a registered herd of twelve milking cows and ten heifers or more worth thousands of dollars and well on the road to success and independence in just ten years. An investment of this nature can mean college education, self-sufficiency and the foundation of a successful dairy enterprise. The National Secretary reports that Brown Swiss registrations have shown an increase each year for the past four years. She states that the reasons for this growth is the fact that Brown Swiss have a wide range of adaptation and produce a large volume of an ideal market milk high in protein. She adds that registered Brown Swiss offer an advantageous challenge to a dairyman's abilities and provide a greater return of his investment in time, labor and money.

By HUGH FULLERTON Banner Publisher After a quarter century in the newspaper business, it still amazes us how much incorrect, misleading information to spread by puolic officials, bureaucrats, and others who should know better. Two good examples have arisen in Barry County in the last few months. The first was the countywide transport­ ation program. Our local officials told us-apparently in good faith-that if we did not accept the grandiose scheme cf providing public transportation for the whole county, the state would withdraw its financial support and our senior citizen's vans would no longer be able to run. It wasn't true. As I read it, when state DOT officials saw that Barry County was not going to accept their ultimatum, they backed down and offered to help Barry County with a system more to our needs. When you reflect on it, the result to not surprising. Suppose Barry County had refused to go along with the state's unnecessary plan. Local officiate would look good, in the posture of trying to save money and resist big government. The one* who would have been embarrassed would have been the DOT officials, who would be left without a local system to oversee, and a slap in the face. The DOT bureaucrats decided they could "change their policy" to accommodate little Barry County. What this means to, we don't necessarily have to accept everything they tell us in Lansing, or even Washington. The more recent example is the scare story that all senior citizen program in Barry County would come to a halt Sept. 30 if the county does not pay its piddling ffitle share of the reoional aoencv's expenses. A handbill was passed out to unsuspect­ ing senior citizens, proclaiming this "fact." The director of the Barry County Commission on Aging, Boise Wolf, flatly told The Banner that Barry would not get state and federal funds for the programs unless It paid its share. That turned out to be inaccurate as weN. A* far as we can determine, there to nothing in any state or federal laws or regulations that say that the B.C. Commission on Aging wffi get cut off unlaa* the county pay* up. Thia we* verified by an official of the South Central Michigan Commission on Aging. Once again, misinformation, designed to scare the constituents, wee spread. We hope it was through ignorance, but it could have been deiiberatley misfeeding. Is it any wonder people don't trust the government?

Kalamazoo, Calhoun and Allegan Counties] Outside of above area $13.50 Bludgeon the Public By MARY LOU GRAY In recent weeks, since th* original hint of recall of certain county commto*ion*rs because of their vote on the mass transport­ ation issue, a serie* of ominous and parhap* even threatening ads have appeared in print-admonishing, warning, almost threatening people not to sign th* petition. Some ads even suggest that the carrier of the petition be scrutinized. Let's turn that minor around and take a look at those responsible for issuing these admonitions, warnings, near threats. Two of three involved are former County Commissioners, both handHy defeat­ ed in their respective bids for reelection. One of the two himself was the subject of a recal effort. All three espouse liberal party platform*. The real issue, however, to the actual subject of recall. Recall to not a vendetta. Recall to not the hamstringing of government. On the contrary, recall to one of our guaranteed constitutional rights. Our forefather* includ­ ed recall as a constitutional right because they wanted people to have a mean* of redress when government was no longer representative. Recall to not only a legitimate poffifcal process, but in this case of mass transport­ ation, it to appropriate. The mas* transit issue passed as a Resolution by the County Commissioners, and therefore to not subject to referendum. Recall to the only remaining redress available to the people, to the electorate. • Those who warn against recal give cost as a reason and say a certain few wish to cause upheaval. Our founding father* dMn't think the price of representative government was too high. And the upheaval they caused was because the Governors were not For people who claim we already have 'epceeentttive and responsive government, the recall foe* certainly seem very nervous about the prospect off people in Barry County having something to say about that government. The purpose of th* recal election, of course, to to put the record of the official before the people. RecaH foe* say we'd be losing honest and dedicated official*. I find that statement both interesting and offanshre-lntereeting because the assumption Is made by member* of their own kind that the official wffi lose; offensive, because I find k herd to believe that honest and decficated people would avoid the opportunity to stand by their votes and fear recal. That's pretty funny dedication I Recal foe* say government to buffi on continuity. Of course, continuity was a heavily conddered factor by our forefather*. But th* continuity wat not that of face* and names, but rather, a continuity of certain wUl and the results of government. We ere NOT a Democracy with majority rule. Wf ARE a republic, with majority rule within certain guaranteed limit*. I pledge alegience to the flag of the United State* of America, and to the REPUBLIC..^. MICHIGAN MIRROR Mortgage Contracts Draw State Scrutiny By WARREN M. HOYT Attorney General Preparing Suits On Homo Mortgage Contracts The state's attorney general to working on two separate fronts to protect consumers against questionable mortgage practice*. With the advent of creative financing with spiraling property costs and mortgage interest rates, certain lenders have been adding some "creative'’ contract off their own with the result being even mor* costs to the consumer. Attorney General Frank J. Kelley has already served notice of intended legal action against a Harper Wood* mortgage company, which he charged, requires homeowner* to incorporate as a business in order to qualify for a second mortgage. Kelley charged the requriement to incorporate allows the mortgage company to bypass the state usury laws and charge more than double the legal interest rate on second mortgages. The attorney general said that the company. Manor Mortgage, to confusing prospective borrowers on the terms and conditions of credit transactions and to faffing to reveal material facts which mislead the consumers and which the consumer* could not be expected to know on their own. By requiring a potential borrower .o incorporate himself, Kelley charged the company could usurp the usury tow which limits a second mortgage interest rate to 7 percent. Kelley also has threatened to go to court if two large mortgage lenders do not agree to stop invoking a "due on sale" clause on the mortgages of people trying to sell their homes by land contracts or mortgage assuptions. Those companies are Detroit and Northern Savings and Loan and First Federal Savings and Loan. Due on sale clauses require a homeowner to pay off the balance of the loan before allowing * home to be add on a land contract or aaeumption. Keiey said they create an unreaeonable restraint on the abffity of a person to aeN a home. The attorney general said that other lending institution* invoke th* dauaa but a legal judgement against the two named savings and loans would than compel the others to stop th* practice. Kefiey said It was unHealy that paraone who had been forced to pay off their mortgagee could get any retribution if the practice to stopped. He chcrged that the two lender* were invoking the deuses in order to force home borers to get mortgagee at higher interest retea thsn that of an aseumsbie mortgage or a land contract. A 1977 Court of Appeals decision ruled unenforceable and an unreasonable restraint on a person's right to buy and ssi property. The Supreme Court upheld that decision when it refused to hear an appeal. A lender can only use a due on sale clause when it can prove that a prospective buyer is a bad credit risk, Kelley said. If the due on sale practice is stopped, there to a chance lenders will try to slow up sales by claiming that people are bad risks, he added. Kelley said complaints have come in from many people on the practice and realtors have told his office the practice has had a "catastrophic" effect on real estate sales. Such clauses have been outlawed in other states through legislative action, Kelley reported and added, "but our Legislature seems to have a case of judicial timkffiy." Joining in on the suit will be the Financial Institutions Bureau, whcee director Martha Seger, said routine use of due on sale clauses is illegal and that her bureau will take action against other lenders who improperly use the clause. To the Editor: A matter has concerned me for sometime and that is that certain people are able to gain certain favors from others in position. Now this has been done by one party and it is admitted by gushing appreciation by I hose who have received what must have been very helpful kindnesses often extended to them, and defense of a former office­ holder in extending these kindnesses and the right to do so. I believe this practice constitutes corruption. My reason for thinking this, is that to buy position or place with dollars certainly would be corrupt, bartering for position or place with favors of help (not always asked for, and, most often offered) can only be judged the same. This is something Barry County can gel along well without. I am convinced in my own mind that there would be less tension without this certain person’s activities, involvement and coersion. I ask that my name be withheld but freely given to anyone who calls. Sincerely, a private citizen TetteEdfar: There is a new dance that is sweeping the chambers of the Barry County Commissioners. It appears to be somewhat like a square dance. There is a caller who is front and center and there are participants that are in front of the caller. The caller seems to direct the movement on the floor, but frequently there is an interruption from the floor and one of the dancers calls out confusing signals This is followed by much movement that never ends up in a clear dance step. Enter a new person who has been asked to learn the dance craze. The new person has no partner so the dancer that continually interrupts, takes this person under his wing and begins to teach how this dance is done. Needless to say, with the confusing signals the new dancer doesn’t learn the step. No rules of movement arc evident from the signals that are called, so the dancers end up in less than the precise pattern that should be there. In fact, the lack of dear calls causes confusion and milling about on the floor. Perhaps this new dance will become dearer as time goes on. They have b^en practicing very hard for some time. If we watch intently, maybe we will see a change. Sincerely, Mrs. Paisey L. Verus Deputies Investigate Malicious destruction of property to the 4-H pool and contents was investigated by Deputy Lynn Cruttenden.

M-V Board Studies Elks Golf ‘Pay to Play’ Proposal The Maple Valley School Board of Education will consider the future of M-V’s athletic program at their meeting on Monday, August 10. At a recent meeting with school officials, the M-V Athletic Boosters proposed charging students $35.00 for each junior high, junior varsity and varsity sport in which they participate to raise some 110,000.00 to help run the athletic program. According to Carroll Wolff, Superintendent of Maple Valley Schools, “football conditioning starts about August 17, so we have to go under the assumption we have to finance this and are going ahead with general plans for football practices”. According to Wolff, “Salary is a big factor on the cost of a sports program. A big question is with Steve MacDonald (president of the Maple Valley Education Association) on the number of teachers coaching on a paid basis, compared to coaching on a voluntary basis, ” because the teachers' contract requires the district to offer the salaried coaching jobs to the teachers first. Coaching duties not. accepted by a faculty member could be taken on by a community volunteer. Boosters plan to raise $14,000.00 from bingo games dances, car washes, a flea market and other events, and they expect an additional $13,000.00 from gate receipts. Boosters' planning, however, is hampered by the uncertainty in the number of paid coaches that will be staffing the athletic Co-Ed Tourney Dates Changed The tournament date originally set for the weekend of Aug. 28-30 has been moved forward one week in order to accommodate some up­ coming events.

The tournament will be double elimination. Boxing Challenger Trains at Sugar Loaf Sugar Loaf, Mountain Resort will be the site of Thomas Hearns' training camp August 14 to 28.

Prisoner Returned Small Crowd Hears Stuckey and Taylor A small crowd failed to dampen the performances of Nate Stuckey and Carmol Taylor at Sandy land Park on August 2. Singing to small audiences causes some performers to give less than a 100%. This was not the case in the fine concerts by Stuckey and Taylor. Nate Stuckey thanked everyone for coming. He pointed out that if the fans didn't come it would have been called a rehearsal. He then rewarded those in attendance by singing many songs from his colorful career. He sang "Sweet Thing," “Take Time To Love Her,” and “The Race Is On” among many others. Stuckey closed with the first song he ever sang on “The Louisiana Hay Ride," entitled “Just A Closer Walk With Thee." Nate seemed to sing from-his heart as he sang the classic gospel hymn. Also weh received was Carmol Taylor. Taylor is known more as a song writer than a singer, having written hits for George Jones and Joe Stanpley, among, others. He sang many of these songs such as “The Grand Tour," “Red Wine and Blue Memories," and “Amanda.” Also performing were Country Fever, Don Lincoln and C.C. Oliver. Coming to Sandyland on August 16, is "the Storyteller” himself, Tom T. Hall. Sheriff’s Deputies Active Larry L. Melendy, 39, of 211 E. North St., was north bound on N. Broadway near Sisson Road when a deer ran west in front of him, ran around the front of the vehicle and back toward the car, impacting with his left front fender. Neither he nor his wife and daughter were injured. Robert Abendroth of the Freeport Police Department policed the accident. Jack Marble, 22, of 13738 108th St., Freeport, was arrested on July 19, by Ray Bylsma, 30, was returned to Hastings Thursday evening, July 2b, by City Police Detective Dana Steidle and Bondsman Elwin Smith of Charlotte. Bylsma had been serving time in the State Penitentiary in Oklahoma, and was released early Tuesday. Steidle and Smith took custody of Bylsma later Tuesday, and returned him to Hastings where he is wanted on a bench warrant out of Circuit Court for jumping bond earlier this year when he was charged on a felony warrant for breaking and entering a coin machine. Two more felony warrants were issued on him locally for breaking and entering more coin machines. The Circuit Court case was adjourned to August 7, at 10:00 a.m. and bond was set al $10,000.00 cash or surety. Bond was set on the two District Court warrants at $25,000.00 cash on each warrant.

While baseball is Harewell’s passion, there is much more to this talented man's life. An accomplished song writer, many of his lyrics have hit the charts after being recorded by such artists as B.J. Thomas and Carol Anderson. Harwell's personal committment to Christianity has been instrumental in the flowering of Baseball Chapel lhrouh..oul the game. A tireles reader, Ernie is just as likely to be seen reading Dostoevski's “The Brothers Karamazov" as a popular baseball book. Bom in Washington, GA. on Jan. 15,1918 Harwell is a graduate of Emory University. It was there that he first met Lula Tankersley, of Hazard, KY., who later became Mrs. Harwell. They are the parents of two sons, William and Gray, and twin daughters, Julie and Carolyn. Ernie and Mrs. Harwell now reside in Farmington Hills. MI. Sunday in Cooperstown both realized the fulfillment of a draam. One that is well-deserved and appreciated hy all Tiger fans. Harwell Inducted Into Hall of Fame Ernie Harwell realized a dream Sunday, August 2. His name forever was linked with the all-lime baseball greats as he received the Ford C. Frick Award at this year's induction ceremonies into the Hall of Fame at Cooperstown, NY. The honor was established in 1978 and is presented annually to members of the broadcasting profession who have made major contributions to Baseball. Previous awardees have been Mel Allen and Red Barber (1978), Bob Ison (1979) and Russ Hodges (1980). “It really is a dream come true,” said Harwell who ha» been the voice of the Tigers since I960.-. “It’s a rather indescribable feeling even to be associated with the real greats of the game. I cherish the thought and just hope I’m worthy.” Just ask Tiger or baseball fans anywhere for the answer-Ernie is more than worthy. A pro in every sense of the word, Harwell's voice is Tiger baseball. And his Christian ideals and genuine concern for mankind make him one of the finest ambassadors baseball enjoys. "He's the one person in this game that everybody loves," said former Tiger great and current Tiger TV broadcaster Al Kaline. “The guy is a professional through and through." Hall of Fame President Ed Stack concurs. “He is kind, polite and pleasant and as venerable as the game itself; and over and above his personal qualities he is professionally recognized as being one of the finest in his field,” he said. Tiger fans and all whose lives have been touched by Harwell are well aware of that fact. A former newspaper writer, Harwell's radio-tele­ vision career dates bark to 1940. He has been on the major league scene as a broadcaster since 1948. His service with the Tigers followed six season with the Baltimore Orioles, four with the New York Giants and nearly two more with the Brooklyn Dodgers. Two of Harwell's biggest thrills as an announcer were Bobby Thomson's playoff homer in 1951 and Hoyt Wilhelm’s 1958 no-hitter against the Yankees. Harwell was doing the first coasl-to-coas! telecast of a major sporting event when Thomson connected.

Library Lends Record Number of Books The Hastings Public Library achieved a new record for a single month's circulation in July by lending 4.595 books, magazines, recordings, pamphlets, films, and other items such as film projection equipment. The previous record was made in August, 1977, with 4,419 items lent. Third, fourth, and fifth high months were July 1978,4,368; June, 1978, 4,207; and March, 1965, in the first few months of the library’s operation, with 4, 105. Total circulation for the year from July 1980 through June 1982 was about 36,700 not a record, but higher than the previous year. Record annual circulation was in 1977/78, with a total of 40,581 items lent. Second highest year was 1965/66, just after the Hastings library began serving the county's four southwestern townships with a station at Delton, 40,152. These 4 townships left the Hastings system at the end of June, 1974, and established their own library at Delton, wnich has been serving an increas­ ing population ever since. The Hastings Public Library serves a population of 11,290, officially, based on the 1980 census and its legal service area, the City nf Hastings, Rutland and Hastings Townships. In July, 2,537 books (and other items) were lent to city residents, 759 to Hastings township residents, and 636 to Rutland township residents. The remainder of the month's total 4,595 circulation is accounted for by 286 items, borrowed by nonresident paid borrowers, largely from the 10 townships in Barry County served by other public libraries; 292 items lent to Carlton township residents, who can borrow without payment because their library is a Lakeland library; and 83 items lent to all other Lakeland Cooperative 'reciprocal borrowers.” A Lakeland reciprocal borrower is one who can borrow free at the Hastings library because he lives in the legal service area of another library that is also a member of the Lakeland Library Cooperative. Most such patrons of the Hastings library live in the 4 townships of Barry County served by the Freeport and M'ddleville public libraries. Carlton, Irving, Thornapple, and Yankee Springs. But some are from Lake Odessa or other nearby parts of Ionia, Kent, and Allegan counties. Hastings library population can similarly borrow from the Freeport or Middleville libraries, or from any other library in the Lakeland Cooperative. The 375 items lent in July to Lakeland reciprocal borrowers represent nearly 15% of the total loans, and were made to residents of areas from which the library receives no financial support. The 286 items lent to “paid" borrowers represent more than 10% of the total loans, and were also made to residents of areas from which the Hastings library receives no financial support - other than the $5 per year for a family card paid by the nonresident borrower. Since most ordinary books can cos’ from $10.95 to $24.95, the $5 per family does not go very far. From its cooperative, each Lakeland library receives important backup reference and book-loan services, and grants of Popular Books, reference books and periodicals. Each library belonging to a cooperative also receives a per-expita state aid grant which is passed on to the cooperative to pay for these services. At Seminar Terri-Sue Myers of Delton recently attended SEMINAR '81, Western Michigan University's Summer Camp for high school students. During their two-week session at Western, 153 SEMINAR students participated in large and small ensemble rehearsal, took private lessons and attended classes in music theory, literature, conduct­ ing and musicianship.

Rehabilitate Homes The Youth Community Conservation Improvement Project (YCCIP), administered by the Mid Counties Employment and Training Consortium, has two work crews of fourteen you tn who are rehabilitating homes of senior citizens and low income residents of Battle Creek. John Martin off. Executive Director of the Consortium said, “CETA is alive and training!" The program, funded from a grant from the U.S. Department of Labor, provides low-income, out-of-achool youth, ages 16 through 21, with work experience to increase their employability while provid­ ing vitally needed improve­ ments to homes throughout the community. Workers have reached about 75% of the goal of 15 houses to be renovated and thus far 11 homes have been completed. The YCCIP program is also operating in Barry County, with projects at two school-owned forestry sites. Urologist Opens Hastings Practice Dr. Richard Delnay, 50, will officially open his practice in the field of urology on Monday, August 17. He is associated with Drs. Baxter, Den Hartog and Blair at the Physicians Center on W. Green Street. Dr. Delnay is certified by the American Board of Urology. He will deal with problems of urinary tract, such as urinary infection, stones and prostate problems. He is also a Urologic Surgeon. Dr. Delnay and his wife Nancy were born in Grand Rapids. He received his medical degree from the University of Michigan, did his medical internship at St. Mary's Hospital in Grand Rapids and then went into anesthesiology residency at Butterworth where he remained on the anestheseology staff for 10 years. After leaving Butter­ worth Hospital, Dr. Delnay began a three-year residency at Ohio State University in Columbus, in the field of urology. From there, he and his family moved to Harlingen, Texas, located in southern Texas between Brownsville and Corpus Christi, where he practiced urology for about 6 years. Both Dr. Delnay and his wife wanted to be closer to their families and “beautiful Michigan", so Dr. Delnay said he decided to look for opportunities in Michigan. He visited the communities of Hillsdale, Niles, South Haven, Mainstee and Hastings. "We liked Hastings, and it’s close to our birthplace and our families," said Dr. Delnay. Dr. and Mrs. Delnay both agree that they prefer the northern climate. Mrs. Delnay said, “it was 85 degrees every Christmas for 6 years, and it’s just not Christmas without snow." Dr. Delnay said urology is a field which people are often embarrassed to discuss. Typical urological problems can be stones, tumors in the urinary tract, problems of urinary control, problems with obstruction in urination, or prostate problems. He treats Dr. Richard Delnay, 50, will open his practice in the field of urology on August 17, in Hastings. He is associated with Drs. Baxter, DenHartog and Blair in the Physicians Center on W. Green St. problems affecting the kidney, bladder, the ureter, which is a tube from the kidney to the bladder, the urethra, which is the tube from the bladder to the exterior. Urologists treat people of all ages. Although the majority of patients are 50 years of age or older, the urologist also treats children because, according to Dr. Delnay, “children commonly have uriniary tract problems." Accidents or injuries to the kidney or bladder from falls or sustained in auto accidents, are often referred to urologists for treatment. A visit to a urologist is often by referral from the family physician, but one can also make appointments directl” Regardless of how the appointment is made. Dr. Delnay stresses the importance of seeing a urologist when a urinary infection occurs. Often the infection is a sign of something else wrong, a signal there is an underlying cause and that the body needs attention. Many people, due td fear or embarrassment, will live an entire lifetime with urinary tract problems and just endure it. Dr. Delnay says that if unusual changes occur, such as unusual frequency, stain, weak or interrupted urination, or difficulty starting, a person should contact a physician because those are signs of urinary problems. Urinary problems in women are more frequent, as women tend to wear confining clothing, synthetic underdothing and polyester slacks. Panty hose with a cotton panty or crotch is recommended. For men, careful hygiene is strongly recommended to avoid, urinary problems. Dr. Delnay's wife Nancy is a Medical Technologist and was an out-patient hemetologist at the Univer­ sity of Michigan. Nancy said she’s “considering going back to work," now that the children are grown. Dr. and Mrs. Delnay have 5 children. Lorraine, 24, is an Occupational Therapist, having recently graduated from the Houston Medical Center. She is looking for employment in the Midwest. Clifford, 22, is stationed with the Navy in Oakland, Calif. He is a hospital corpsman and is interests', in some day joining his father in the practice of urology. David, 20, who was married March 17, is stationed aboard the UUS Enterprise out of Bremerton, Wash. He is in the field of radar and sonar. Rick, 17, will be a senior at Hastings High School this fall and is interested in forestry. Katie, 15, will be a sophomore at HHS and is interested in either the science or health field.

And Let Us Take Care of Your Stationery Needs! By HUGH FULLERTON Banner Publisher We've been to two county fairs in as many weeks, and there are some interesting comparisons. The first was Barry's, the new Barry Free Fair, which seems to have been a great success this year. Crowds were up, a renewal of activity and interest was everywhere, and the fairgrounds looked as good as we have ever seen them. The midway was better than usual this year, with more rides, and it was kept very dean. The other was Eaton's, which has some distinct advantages. Their fairgrounds are more spacious, the 4-H bam and show area is tree-shaded and attractive, and they had many more rides than Barry. The Barry fairgrounds are badly hemmed in, being located right in town. There is not really adequate room for a midway. Our grandstand, which we under­ stand was well-filled this year, does not have a large enough seating capacity to make top shows pay. The Barry Fair Board is to be congratulated for making the most of their facilities this year. When the final figures are in, we hope the fair was a financial success, because the board took a big gamble in dropping the admission charge. A surprising climax to the Barry Fair was the successful livestock auction. Prices were up, in spite of the fact that there were so many steers to be sold. But it wasn't until we went to the livestock sale at Charlotte that we understood how successful the Barry event is. Prices were far lower there on all three major animals. Many lambs were selling st little more than half what they brought at the Barry sale. Steers were barely above market, although there weren't as many of them as usual. It seemed like quite a few animals were being bid in by parents or relatives, which is rarely seen at Barry. Barry County youngsters may not realize how lucky they are, compared to their counterparts a few miles away. More than ever, the buyers are to be thanked and congratulated for their support at the sale. Anyone for chickadees? Judge Dick Loughrin sends to our office a petition, being distributed in the state, asking the legislature and governor to designate the Black-capped Chickadee as the official state bird. The petition notes that the chickadee is "a joyous year-round friend, who visits with us during the harshest of our long winter vigil, never deserting us in our times of trial," and that he is "always gay, polite and well mannered." Since my bird-feeding days began in childhood, I have always personally favored the chickadee, though we first became acquainted in New Jersey. Although not unique to Michigan, it certainly is a very tvpical bird in this state. If you are interested in joining the cause and getting a truly representative state bird, we have the petition at the Banner office, and the judge has more at the Probate Court office, which you may sign. Folks in Allegan County were scratching their heads one day recently when no one could find a copy of the local News and Gazette. • Seems a paper hound sniffed out all 1,620 newsstand issues and bought them up. Some speculated that car dealer Gordon Baehre-the subject of an unflattering article that day-was the culprit. The story detailed troublesome legal actions over odometer rollbacks. Asked by the Free Press whether he lapped up the papers, Baehre said: "No, I did not. I know who did it, but it has nothing to do with me. It was a joke." Baehre declined to reveal the identity of the joker. But he did call the paper a "weekly squeak" that prints "garbage." Attending the harness races for the first time, a Hastings greenhorn wasn't exactly familiar with racing terminology. During the race, a seemingly stem announcement was made from the judge's booth saying, "Attention, please..there are two scalpers in the judges booth...repeattwo scalpers in the judges' booth." Minutes later. Sheriff David Wood ascended the steps to the judge's booth. The greenhorn couldn't stand it any longer and asked a person who appeared to be knowledgeable about racing terms, "Whet do you suppose the sheriff will do with the scalpers?" "Probably send them back with the drivers," said the knowledgeable person. That just didn't seem to resolve the greenhorn's question until It became apparent that a scalper was not the person who made a bundle selling tickets to an event at greatly inflated prices - but in fact a scalper was a cuff, of sort, that horses wore in the racel Faster On Rush Orders!

The Hastings Banner “Barry County s Largest Newspaper To the Editor: When I hear people talking about gas and weight taxes and saying that the money from those taxes is going to Southeast Michigan or to Public Transit Sys­ tems. I feel I must speak up and set ihe record straight. As an Old-Timer interest­ ed in . he streets and high­ ways of this State. I have seen and helped fight, over 'he years, the efforts of many special interest groups to drain Highway User Monies away for different uses. After many Legislative battles, court decisions, and finally. a Statewide Referendum in 1978. I can assure you that there is an airtight Constitutional limit on ihe amount of Highway UscrTaxes t hat can be used for/ purposes other than Roads and Bridges. The Constitutional Amendment accepted by the voters in 1978 provides that at least 90% of all Gas and Weight Taxes must be used on our Road Systems. At the present time, as a result of legislation. 91.7% of the User Taxes is being expended on Highways, with the remainder 8.3% being spent for other forms of Public Transportation. It should also be pointed out that there are formulas in the Statutes which, ir my mind, distribute the money • the cities, counties and state in a reasonably fair manner. Perhaps if, in the futute, different needs should develop as Suburban road needs are now develop­ ing. there should be some alternations in the formulas. But all in all, I think the f r. ulas dividing up the Hig way User Taxes to the various highway agencies are ar. good as any formulas that are applied statewide. Because of my close attention to the problems of financing public highways, I agree with Kalamazoo Representative Mary Brown who has recently introduced Bills that would allow highway revenues to keep pace with inflation. But most of all, however, I want everyone to know that our Highway User Taxes are not merely thrown in’o a grab bag without suitable restraints and guarantees. Sincerely, Richard Rose Hastings, Michigan To the Editor: Don Gilmer has a credible, able challenger for the next election. Republican Ron Reisterer, in my opinion, is an excellent pro-life, pro-family, anti­ taxation, anti-Milliken contender. He has been in the political field for several years now. has deep convictions and proficiency in the workings of all aspects of government. Being a history teacher in junior high school has given him insights into the problems of our educational system, today, also. He needs our support!

The disease. called “parvovirus infection” was so new that little information and only meager supplies of possible effective vaccines were available. Since then,researchers have thoroughly investigat­ ed the cause of the epidemic and prepared effective vaccines against the new virus. The disease, caused by an organism known as a “parvovirus," spreads when a susceptible pet contacts the virus in the stool of an infected animal on contaminated feed or water bowls, or in kennels that house sick animals. Last year most dogs were susceptible to parvo infection, but not all became ill. Pets that were stressed by parasites, poor nutrition or those that were very young or very old sickened much more quickly than pets in good condition. Dogs tl at were boarded or attended large dog shows were also at risk. Veterinarians know now that ihe virus destroys the cells that line the pel’s intestinal tract, causing diarrhea and reducing the animals ability to absorb nutrient's. The virus also attacks heart cells in very young puppies, so that the animals died with little warning. Research has resulted in vaccines that are much more effective than those available last year. Former­ ly. veterinarians were forced to try for short term protection by using vaccines that were originally developed for use against certain viruses in cats. Now there are vaccines developed specially to prevent parvovirus in dogs. The new products give more complete protection without undesirable side effects. Dog owners who want up-io-date information about parovirus causes and controls can get a free brochure from Norden Laboratories.

Mr. and Mrs. Victor Sisson accompanied Mr. and Mrs. Francis Coleman of Hastings to Lansing last Thursday where they spent the afternoon with Mrs. Ethel Rogers of Eaton Rapids at the Ingham Medical where her husband. Rev. Howard W. Rogers underwent serious surgery for an aneurysm Wednesday morning. The doctor said the aneurysm, which is a weakening of the walls of an artery or vein so that it balloons out. was about the size of a large orange and was between the bowels and the backbone. Had it ruptured, he would have bled to death quickly. He was in intensive care in serious condition. Mr. Coleman was allowed in the room for only a minute and Rev. Rogers recognized him and called him by name. Mrs. Rogers has a room in one of the nearby buildings and will be there as long as he is in the hospital. Rev. Rogers is a former pastor of Hastings Grace Wesleyan Church. Enroute home we stopped at Wendy’s and had supper. While we were at the table a young couple came across the room and the young lady said, “Hello Mrs. Sisson.” She was the former Debbie Sladel, with her husband Bruce Eddy. They were both in Mrs. Sisson's fifth grade when she laughl in the Woodland School, and they have changed some in the ensuing years. They live now in the Charlotte area. About the middle of the afternoon Friday, eleven of the big bean pickers from the canning factory went south past our place. I don't know where they went but there are a good many fields of green string beans down that way and I was told that was the start of the harvest for 1981. Il wasn't long until a big truck loaded to capacity with the delicious beans went north, headed for the factory at Lake Odessa. This kept up all through the night, all day Saturday, a part of Sunday and they were at it again Monday in spite of the rain. Saturday afternoon, Miss Kimberly Heslerly of Hastings was the guest of her grandmother, Mrs. Hildred Hesterly of Woodland. Sunday callers were Mr. and Mrs. Gene Blair of Mulliken, Mr. and Mrs. Verdan Hesterly of Ionia were luncheon and evening guests. 5 Barry County Fair Livestock Buyers Barry County Fair Livestock Buyers: Ace Nut & Bolt.

Her parents picked her up and they proceeded to California where they would take a plane for that far away place which will be their home for the next five years. It had been a hard test for all the family as it didn’t look as thought all the requirements could poisibly be met so that Flossie could go at the same time and on the same plane as her parents, but everything worked out. This is Harold and Edna Johnson’s eighth term in Japan. Flossie will not be working with them but will be located about four hours away. Her address will be: 15-15 Dajzawa, 3-Chome, Setagaya-Ku, Tokio, 155 Japan. Her parents address is: Rev. Harold Johnson, Wesleyan Miaskn, 11-11 Nakamaru-Cho, Itabaahi-ku, Tokyo 173, Japan. Nathaniel has already jpiswered the missionary call in Japan but has some preparation over there. But he’s coming folks! And Tim? He is still a bit undecided but he is looking that way, too. Rev. and Mrs. William Davis, the o,ther couple who have called the Missionary Home as their home for the past year had already left Hastings a couple of weeks ago. They were to spend a short time in Canada, Mrs. Davis's native land and then head back to Honduras for another term on the Miaaion field there.

New Travel Books At Public Library The Hastings Public Library has new books for the traveler in Michigan, and in other parts of the U.S.A, and the world, available to its borrowers. Its staff is reviewing a few of these additions. Historic Michigan Travel Guide, 1979-80, is a listing by the Historical Society of Michigan of 40 historic restaurants, hotels, and country inns, and of 163 historical museums in Michigan. Historical back­ ground and admission information is given for each place; Upper Peninsula locations are separate from Lower Peninsula. BACK ROADS AMERICA.A PORTFOLLO OF HER PEOPLE, is by Thomas O’Neill, with photos of Ira Block, for the National Geographic Society. For 9 months they wandered the rural roads of the United States - winter in the north­ east, spring in the southeast, summer in the West and Alaska, and autumn in the north. They recorded what they found. ALASKANS, text by Keith Wheelsr, is one of the handsome, informative books in the Time-Life series The Old West. Bought from Russia in 1867, Alaksa had few Americans until gold was found in 1880, when newcomers began to probe the "Great Land’s” wilder­ ness by foot, boat, and dog sled, and found everything to be colossal. It provided a rich harvest for the taking (chapter 2) and a last fling for the lawless (chapter 5). But exploitation was not without peril (chapter 6). Time-Life Looks have some excellent series helpful to the traveler. THE GREAT BARRIER REEF, by Craig McGregor, an issue in the World's Wild Places, takes one to the fringe of Australia. Different animal homes are featured, includ­ ing a nursery for turtles, a haven for seabirds, and a slow-motion wilderness. Two books in The American Wilderness series are THE BADLANDS, and URBAN WILDS. Champ Clark's book deals with the American Badlands, the ravaged remains of a prairie. The sociable prairie dog, the bounliful grasses, and I he world of the westerly winds are three >f the chapter titles. Thunderhorse and other relics, plus a badlands bestiary are two other intriguing sections. URBAN WILDS, by Odgen Tanner, is about another part of America, including such diverse topics as the inner shapes of a forest, sanctuary on the subway, ramparts of the city, and secrets of the great swamp. PARIS and ROME are two beautiful books in the Time-Life Great Cities series. Pictures by Raghubir Singh and text by Rudolph Chelminski, in the first, show indomitable Paris, a city of eloquent faces; Gothic architecture; the much loved Seine River; life and love and on the Left Bank; glory on the Right Bank; high style matching high cuisine; and the high price of progress. ROME, by E.R. Chamberlin, photos by Dan Budnik, from the dramatic cover photo of the Spanish Steps and endpaper photos of young priests prostrating themselves in St. Peter’s Square as part of their ordination, and of niches for the dead in the city’s largest cemetery - to the eight picture essays on the eternal city's aferial views, streets, palaces, ceilings, and fountains, and its people, gives a revealing look at Rome. MECCA is another beautiful and oversize book, this one in the Newsweek Wonders of Man series. With many color photographs, it tells about Mecca in history and in literature, and gives a brief chronology of Middle East history, and a Guide to the Pilgrimage. PARIS, a Michelin guide in French for those who want to see Paris in its own language, is also new at the library. Other guidebooks on numerous countries and cities are available in English.

Pennock Asks to Expand Laboratory Pennock Hospital has asked the State to approve a laboratory expansion project. The existing laboratory is located on the ground floor’s southwest corner. The addition would expand to the west and south of the existing laboratory, and would provide an additional 3,696 square feet to house clinical areas, as »veLl as an outpatient waiting area and blood drawing room. Additional space would also accommodate the histology area, autopsy room, and offices for the pathologist and the chief medical technologist. In addition, the drive area would be relocated to the west parking lot to give patients easier access for laboratry outpatient services. The project would be completed in April 1982, at an estimated cost of $500,000.

Page 3 Big Day at Delton Shriners Add Fun The Marshal - Velma Gates �REVIEW “My Fair Lady” at Barn Still Fairest of Musicals By HUGH FULLERTON "My Fair Lady", the venerable musical by Lerner and Loewe based on the Shaw play, te still one of the fairest muricate of aN. The Bam Theater in Augusta te proving that with Its revival of the show, which must be a quarter century old. Director Wayne Lamb has done an admirable job of molding his talented people into Englishmen of all chsaes. Musically and dramatically too, this prou.iction te first rate in nearly every respect. The story te heavily dependent, of course, on two characters-Hanry Higgins and Eliza Doolittle. George McDaniel, who got his start at the bam and went on to play numerous rotes on TV and stage, te certainly strong enough to anchor the story as the domineering Higgins. He's a tad man, with strong voice and personality. He knows the role perfectly, perhaps because he played a minor part In the play as a Bam apprentice in 1964. In this reviewer's eyes, however, George was working under a handicap, because wo saw Rex Harrison himself re-create the rote in Chicago last spring. In the minds of many theater-lovers, Harrison IS Henry Higgins, and no one can do it like he still does. Unfortunately, I think McDaniel must have seen Harrison do it, or at least seen the movie with Harrison in the role, and ho has picked up too many of Harrison's mannerisms. McDaniel, certainly a polished professional himself, might hove been better off to give the Higgins role own Interpretation, instead of Imitating the master. In particular, McDaniels' constant arm movements and need to be constantly moving on the rather smal Bam stage distracted from his fine acting. Rex Harrison can put more meaning into a tingle arm movement than moot actors can in an entire monologue. But it didn't come off whh McDaniel's attempts to use similar gestures. Perhaps we are too critical. If you've never seen Harrison do It, you'll like McDaniel. But... Mariana Renee's Biza make uo for any weakness in other leading parts. Miss Renee is a hilarious and lovely comedienne. In the opening scenes, where she te the original cockney flower girl, she te enchant­ ing. Miss Renee also has a lovely voice, which she pms to good use. The "Wouldn't It Be Loverly" number with the quartet of cockney men is just beautiful. As usual, the audience can depend on the Bam "old-timers" to add strong support to the cast. Col. Pickering, the reserved retired officer, just had to be played by Louis Girard, te there anything this old pro can't do? Angelo Mango-over the funnyman-was good as ENza'a father, addfog mannerisms we had never seen before in this rote. Sadly, he messed up the lyrics to "With a Uttte Bit of Luck" the night wa saw the show, but most of the audience either didn't know the difference or forgave him. Dusty Reeds, an unsung heroine of many Bam casts, appears in the tiktoo-brief role of Higgins' mother, and nearly steals a couple acenes. The rest of the cast, largely young but talented, are more than adequate, and some of the youngsters show real promtoe in musical comedy. Director Lamb haa created some clover choreography, limited by the size of the stage. He atoo knows how to keep a show moving, and there are no slow spots In this production. My Fair Lady plays through this weekend at The Bam, and it doesn't appjar that many seats wto go unfitted. It was sold out teat weak, with a line of folks waiting outside, hoping for some cancellations. 4-H NEWS 80 4-H Leaders Honored At Family Get-Together By KATHY A.

To the Editor: On behalf of the Friends of the Hastings Public Library. I would like to thank you for the publicity promoting the Used Book Sale at the recent Hastings Sidewalk Sale. With the assistance of your paper, the Friends were able to earn $365.00 which will be placed in a fund created to provide the Hasitngs Public Library with a video system. Your continuing support is most appreciated. Kathryn Johnson Publicity Chairman To the Editor: After reading M.. Richard Rose’s remarks in which he feels that he is an authority on how our Road Tax money is being spent in Michigan, I wonder why it differs from in<ci mation in my possession from Mrs. Mary Brown, 46th District State Representative. Road maintenance costs as quoted by Mrs. Brown increased by about 10% in 1979-80, and construction costs by about 15%, whereas transportation revenues decreased by about 10%. The average driver is spending about $5 less today for gasoline tax than in 1875. According to the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) 32.5% of Michigan roadways are in poor or very poor condition. There is much road maintenance which is needed, but for which there are no funds. From the Michigan Transportation funds, 19% of the monies go to cities, and villages to upgrade their streets, 34.3% to the County Road Commissions, 46.7% to the State Transportation Department Fund. So perhaps, as you suggest, there should be some alterations in ;he above formulas, and put the money where its most' needed-in road repairs. , Sincerely, Mrs. Erma Flory To the Editor: This is directed to all of the people who never finish­ ed high school. Don’t ever say it can’t be done, or that you won’t be able to study after all of these years. It can be done, and you can do it. The teachers are very helpful. And the work is not hard. Remember, without a high school diploma you are limited, but with it all fields are open to you. The choice is yours. So think about it today and give the Adult Education office a call. You won’t be sorry! When that diploma is handed to you, you will have accomplished a major goal in your life. So don’t wait any longer. Start working towards that goal today. I did it and you can too. Mary Parsons Graduate of 1978.

MICHIGAN MIRROR Tax-Sharing Concept Could Aid Small Communities By WARREN M. HOYT Base Sharing Concept Tax base sharing has been revived as a recommendation by an executive Task Force on SmaN and Rural Communities. The concept provides for spreading new revenues, derived from growth in the tax base in one area, with other communities in the region. The concept was proposed once by Governor William G. Milliken for metropolitan areas. The original proposal was based on a successful model in the Minneapolis-St. Paul region, but got nowhere in Michigan in the face of opposition from areas with rapid growth from officiate fearful of regional government. Unlike the original proposal's mandatory provisions for sharing growth in property values in one community among all communities in the region, this proposal would empower local governments to agree to share both the increased value of new development, as well as the costs of providing services to be developed areas. Greg Main of Escanaba, chairman of the task force, said the idea was raised by a township official as a way to deal with pressures of annexation. "We would leave political boundaries where they are and the jurisdictions where they are, but ’et the people make agreements," he said announcing the recommendations of the task force. The group said present annexation laws force adjoining jurisdictions into adversarial roles, with the city nibbling away at a township in which new development may choose to locate. The task force further suggested development of suburban growth plans as a prerequisite for annexation or extension of public services. These plans would be written by officials from adjacent communities and would set guides for land use, extension services, etc. On other local matters, the task force urged legislation to permit local units to impose new taxes upon voter approval, including sales and use taxes. Other recommendations of the task force indude: establishment of a rural regulation review board to review regulations that may be deterring job creation; development of an agricultural preservation strategy; increased funding for forestry; active state promotion of rural economic development. Establishment of a rail use plan for rural areas; coordination of human services on a county-wide basis; expansion of rural extension services and development of pilot projects for nutrition education and family resources management. After the report was released, Milliken said it will assist the state and local governments in understanding and managing the problems that accompany the shift of population into sparsely populated areas. Congressional Tax Cut to Aid State Budget The approval by Congress of a threeyear $750 billion tax cut te very important to the Michigan economy, according to state Management and Budget Director Gerald Miller. He said the state's economic forecasts and the 1961-82 fiscal year budget assumed passage of a sizable federal tax cut. Without the tax cut, which begins with a first round October 1, followed by another cut July 1,1982, Miller said the state revenue forecasts for 1961-82 would have to be cut at least by $50 million. "The key issue was getting it passed. The psychological effect te very important. On the basis that people know they will get a cut October and another in July, they will be a little freer with what they do with their money," Miller said. He added one possible use for some of that freed up money would be the purchase of automobiles, the Michigan economy's mainstay. �Antique Auto Show at Charlton Vintage automobiles of yesteryear’s motoring world will chug their way into Charlton Pirk Sunday, August 16, for the twelfth annual Antique Auto Show and Swap Meet.

New Rules Affecting Waste Disposal Closer to Adoption The final opportunity for input on the local level, regarding new rules for administering the state law controlling waste disposal in Barry County, was held in the form of a public meeting of the Barry County Solid Waste Planning Committee last Wednesday, August 5. The purpose of the committee is to develop ways to take care of solid wate, including disposal, recycling, salvage and recovery of resources. Every political subdivision of the state is required to develop a plan for the collection, transportation and disposal of solid waste, and to set the guidelines for the solid waste plan. Funding was 45,525 in 198061 and 19.287 for the 81-82 year from the DNR to compile the necessary information to develop the Aerial Cover The ASCS Office will again be coordinating aerial seedings of winter cover in Barry County. They are aiming for an August date. Call the Barry County ASCS office at 9486037 for more information. plan. Mike Adams, a student intern from Grand Valley State Colleges who is in the field of environmental health, was hired with a portion of these funds to assist in compiling the needed data. Upon receiving and reviewing comments from the public and from the planning board itself, representatives of the Barry County Solid Waste Planning Committee vent to Lansing last Thursday, Aug. 6, carrying comments to a public hearing held there, where rules to implement Public Act 641 will be finalized by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. Upon finalization the proposed rules will then be presented to the Legislature's Rule’s Committee in September when the legislature reconvenes. It’s not known whether or not the legislature will accept this 9th draft of rules. According to Barry County Chairman of the planning committee, Harry Adrounie, there are “a lot of little things" why the legislature didn’t accept previlusly submitted plans. As an example, a represent­ ative from Dow questioned the wording in the leche collection system on one of the previously submitted drafts, specifically the requirement of pea gravel instead of some other type. In another case, an engineering society testified Eight Injured Waste Planning Cenunktee met Wednesday, August 5, to review the proposed new state law controlling solid waste disposal. This was the final opportunity for local public comment on the rules. Comments were then taken to Lansing on Thursday, where the rules for Public Act 641 were to be finalized by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. Shown here (left to right] are Robert Henry, Ken Neil, Bill DeBoer and Chairman Harry Adrounie. Others present were Harry VanDyken, Gordon Frith, Wayne Miller, Jim Gord-a. Brian Puffpaff, Student Intern Mike Adam and Barbara Furrow. Others on the committee are Henrj Roy Balkema, Richard (.andon and Sylvia Dulaney. that the rules were too specific, and not enough lee-way was provided to practice their art or expertise. Adrounie cited confusing wording as one basis of his objection, and would make his recommendation for change. An example he gave was wording from the rules referring to “contaminated leche.** All leche is consider­ ed contaminated, so wording of this nature is redundant. Another objection Adrounie raised was that the rules drawn by the DNR have "prescriptive standards," and "should instead be based on performance requirement.** “Prescriptive standards go into specifics. Performance requirements deal with the end product,” said Adrounie. Utilizing prescriptive standards would put a burden on some, while performance is ultimately what we’re going to look at," he said. Rod Moesher of the DNR attended the meeting to answer any questions the committee might have. Referring to Adrounie’a objection to preaeriptive standards over performance requirements, Moeeeher said, “the rules are drawn for minimum standards.” Questioned why certification was needed by the DNR from the Health Department on waste disposal systems, Moescher responded that “an attempt is made to gain uniformity" in administering this program. "If the Health Department doesn’t, the DNR will," he said. The consensus of the Planning Committee was that this would cause more overhead and administrative paperwork. The major objection, according to Chairman Adrounie, was that the DNR rules specified the name of a private firm, ASTM, (Association Society for Testing Materials), mandating that they be utilized for soil and ground water tests. Objection was based on using a private firm, “a trade name instead of generic terminology". The applicant should be given the freedom of choice as to which firm he would use. “This is only one of many organizations that do the same work,” said Adrounie. Curt A. Kemppainen, Assistant Director of the Kent County Department of Public Works, attended the meeting, and stated, “there’s a lot of faults (in the rules) but they're the best thing we’ve got." He encouraged their approval. Adrounie agreed that "something is needed. They're operating without anything right now.” Adrounie went on further, saying, “we've got to have something soon, however, I don’t know if I’d go to any lengths co stop it (adoption of the new rules) now." The Planning Committee agreed to carry their objections to Lansing and to follow that up with a written statement of objections. �THE HASTINGS BANNER, Monday.

By MARY LOU GRAY Mrs. Soledad G. Leos of 402 W. Center Street, Hastings, has a real problem. Known as “Sally" to everyone who knows her, the soon-to-be 80 year old is desperately trying to get her citizenship papers. But, because of some unknown reason, somewhere between Mexico and Detroit, Soledad G. Leos has disappeared in bureaucratic paperwork. Sally came to the United States from Mexico in 1928 and settled in San Antonio, Texas. She married an American citizen and they had 7 children. She assumed she was also a citizen, by virtue of marrying an American, but all too soon learned that was not true. Sally came to Michigan when she was 19 years old, settled in the Woodland area inl955 and moved to Hastings ic 1965. She worked at the Medical Facility for 17 years, 15 years as a nurses aide and 2 years as an occupational therapist. The children were raised and schooled and are all on their own now. Sally said that each year she filed her alien status with the Immigration Department and complied with the laws. “When I came to this country, I came as a permanent resident, so I never considered myself an alien" she said. "But I obeyed the law." In 1973, when she and several other couples went to Acapulco, Mexico, on vacation, her nightmare began. “Mexican Immigration could have detained me, and I had to fight to return to the United States," she said. “They told me I didn't have the green alien registration card, but I showed them the one that was issued to me in 1946.” Not only did Sally have the alien registration card, she also had to produce proof to substantiate that she had lived in the United States for the many years as she had claimed. She produced her marriage certificate, birth certificates of the children, verification of residence in various places in the United States, school papers of the children, finger prints, employment records, volumes and -r.............. J volumes of papers and supportive copies of t_rr_. documentation. Not hearing further from Immigration. Sally thought she had the problem solved, The nightmare begin all over again, when in December 1979, Sally went to Detroit to apply for her citizenship papers. Immigration officials in Detroit said they didn't have proof of her legal entry into At Blue Lake formerly available on the federal level. A pre­ application Qieeting to discuss procedure and timing of grants has always been held. A recent administrative change took the reviewing process from the federal level to the state level. Kramer was checking for the City to determine if the pre-applicatioo meeting on the state level has been scheduled as yet. She learned that the entire program was still in the transition process and promised to keep Mayor Snyder posted of the progress. Julie Morgan Promoted Julie K. Morgan, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles L. Morgan of 5510 Stimson Road, Middleville, Mich., has been promoted in the U.S. Air Force to the rank of airman first class. Morgan is a power pioduclion specialist at Yokota Air Base. Japan with the 475th Civil Engineering Squadron. Hastings ecoae a U.S. Citizen, but lost documents cotnpUeated the process for her.

According to D-K Personnel Director Dean McBeth, the requested 2.5 mills represents $403,755.00.

COA Board appointments, and a petition to abolish Barry County Zoning were the main points of consideration at the Barry County Board of Commissioners Meeting Gn Tuesday, August 11. Walter Soya, chairman of special committee studying the COA question recommended that the bill for 1981 matching funds be paid. The Commissioners passed his resolution by a vote of 10-1 with Commissioner Hermenitt casting the only “nay” vole. Commissioner soya gav.» a further report on what they had learned about COA.

Area Student Congressman Howard Wolpe’s representative, Drue Kramer, was in Hastings Tuesday, August 11, at City Hall, where Wolpe’s constituents could discuss problems they might have on the federal level. Wolpe is this area’s Representative to the House of Representatives in Washington. Here Kramer, who works out of Wolpe’s Kalamazoo office, talks with Hastings Mayor Ivan Snyder about the small cities grants, which used to be known as the HUD small dties grants. Grants were the United States. No supportive papers could be found to substantiate the fact that Sally had lived in the United States all the years that she claimed. In fact, they told her that she didn’t qualify to apply for her citizenship papers because she wasn’t even considered a permanent resident of the United States. Numerous attempts were made to locate the •'ulumes of supportive documentation that Sally previously supplied Immigration, but to no avail. She was told she’d have to go through the application channels once s*«un. Once again, Sally sent the marriage certificate, birth certificates of the children, verification of residence, school papers, finger prints, employment records more volumes of documents. On May 6, 1981, with the assistance of Congressman Howard Wolpe and the Grand Rapids Immigration office, Sally received notification that she was now officially considered a permanent resident of the United States. That status brings with it the require­ ment to wait 5 years before formal applkaiton can be made for U.S. citizenship. “I don’t know if Pm going to live that long," Sally said sadly, “I’ll be 60 years old on August 29. I had to retire because of my health. Pve lived in the United States rince I was 6, obeyed the laws, married an American, raised and educated my children, and am now drawing Social Security. Pve always considered myself an American, and now they (Immigration) tell me I have to wait another 5 years before I can apply for citizenship. It's redfculous, but I guess I have to play their waiting game," said Sally. "I just hope I live long enough to finally become a U.S. Citizen" she said wistfully. Richard Ritter until Dec. 31, 1981. Commissioners Landon, Love, Daniels, Hermenitt, and Soya voted against the motion. Barry County Commissioners then voted to approve all by-laws of COA by a 8-3 vote. Daniels, Hermenitt, and Landon cast "No" votes for the resolution. Daryl McLeod presented a petition representing 850 signatures asking the commissions to reconsider Barry County’s Zoning Ordinance, Barry County Planning/Zoning Commis­ sion, and Zoning Administrator. The petition asked for a special election, for the voters to decide whether to continue or abolish the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. McLeod, from Assyria Center and a member of OTLAM, stated, "the petitions to tell what the public wants Planning and Zoning has got out of hand." He added, “I don't feel that Planning and Zoning has any business with the average individual. It's too close to socialism," Commissioners placed the petition^ on file and Commilbioner Gordon slated le will ask the Plaw^y Commission and the Ftfeming office to look into th^ueslions raised. DiW Kramer, speaking for U.S. Representative Howard Wolpe, reported on how the recent lax cuts will affect the nation's money situation. Mrs. Kramer stated that 35 billion dollar. will be cut out of federal revenues next year. She also mentioned that Congress Will begin serious study of the Social Security issue this fall. Adrounie, chairman of the Solid Waste ' Planning Committee, updated Commissioners on the solid waste situation. He remarked, "No one wants it in their back yard even though they generate it." He estimated that Barry County generates 111 tons of waste a day. Adrounie invited everyone in the county to submit their ideas on a disposal plan. Civil Defense Director Larry Hollenbeck asked the Board of Commissioners for their approval of a required two-year update of Barry County’s emergency program. This update is needed lor the county to be eligible for "Disaster Relief" funds. Commissioners gave their unanimous approval to the resolution. In other action.

The school board has previously mads cuts of $234,371, involving 12 leaching positions, a central administrative position, 11 coaching positions, one-half time for a guidance counselor, supplies and other general items. “I think it’s unfortunate that the voters, for a cost of $40.00 or $50.00, have cost the kids that list of proposed cuts," said Delton-Kellogg Personnel Director Dean McBeth. He added, “I wish they (the people) would have had a more worldly approach to education and recognized the value that their few dollars would have purchased.”. According to McBeth, the School Board voted Monday, August 10, to reduce the D-K debt millage .71 mills. Fawn Eludes Police Monday afternoon.

Because young and old, they stream to Hilliards to drink beer and dance. And they do dance. The dance floor in the tent is packed aH evening. By the time the Michigan Polkstoers stopped playing, in the wee hours Sunday morning, there was a small mountain of empty kegs, and lots of happy folks. We haven't bean to a polka party like this for a long time. In northwest Ohio, vMwe there are a lot of Germans, they are a summer custom in many small towns. Many a hot summer night, your Mueer has danced until his logs ached. The music is good, so to the boor, and everyone has a good time. Those polks festivals are famfy affairs, and you see amal children dancing with their parents, young people with old. Although a lot of beer is consumed, you rarely see anyone showing the effects. Perhaps the dancing offsets the effects of the alcohol. Anyway, watch for the Hilliards party next year, h's unforgettable. • • • So the baseball season has resumed. We happened to hear pan of a broadcast Sunday of an old Tiger World Series game. The names were different, but it was no more interesting that the Tigers joshing arc jnd with the Blue Jays this week. Some things get better-baseball just stays as dull as ever. It has been so long since the fans heard the names of Whitaker, Wilcox, Kemp, etc. that the Tigers sent out a new roater to the newspapers to use for reference. New season, same old faces. • • • There seems to be an undeclared contest going on between the local police agencies to see who can make more raids on marijuana fields. Or perhaps it to to see who can locate bigger and better pot plants. Anyway, the Hastings city police started it off, followed hours later by the State Police. Then the Sheriffs Department found some. Then the State PoSce located some more, and the city police notched another find. Now it's the sheriffs department's turn again. To date, the State Police seem to have the record for bringing in the biggest plants. 3 MSU Experts in Clarksville SAVE CASH ...And don’t miss an issue a SUBSCRIBE to the 4 Hastings Banner ^ur Twice - l/faty fewsptyvf Only s 10.00 fcr 51 Weeks - 104 Issues Save s 10.80 Compared to The ivewstand Price I I I I I I I I 1 I I I I I I buna at tang this coupon to J The Hastin«i« Banner, • 3J1 S.

Calhoun and Allegan Counties) Outride ot above area 513.50 Taking a university’s expe-ts out into the state to do research where it’s needed is one way to keep a good -and profitable-thing going. In Michigan, it’s happening in horticulture at the Michigan State Univer­ sity Agricultural Experiment Station site at Clarksville. There agricultural scientists from several MSU departments are working individually and together to improve Michigan’s fruit, vegetable and other horticultural crops and industries. The Michigan horticulture industry has an on-farm value of more than S200 million annually. This does not include its value to four other segments of the economy and life of Michigan residents: the consumer, the home gardener, industries associated with horticulture and food produdton from it, and tourism. Thousands of visitors come to Michigan each year to take advantage of fresh fruits and vegetables in roadside stands, as well as folk festivals that revolve around horticultural crops such as asparagus, blueberries, cherries and tulips. Michigan ranks first in the nation in the production of red tart cherries, pickling cucumbers and blueberries and is among the top five in several other fruits and vegetables, including rhubarb, apples, asparagus, celery, carrots, prune plums, sweet cherries, grapes, pears, snap beans for processing, strawberries, fresh sweet corn, tomatoes and cauliflower. The Clarksville station, 40 acres located in Ionia County about 18 miles from Grand Rapids, and less than 25 miles from Hastings was purchased by the Agricultural Experiment Station in 1974 as a part of the long-range plan to make more and better research in horticulture possible and accessible to MSU scientists and to help farmers through­ out the state. Clarksville is funded by the state through the Experiment Station and will be the testing ground for research projects in horticulture and soil sciences dealing with fruits, I vegetables and ornamentals. Research conducted in cooperation with the MSU departments of horticulture, entomology, botany and plant pathology, food science and human nutrition, agricultural engineering and agricultural economics will also be handled at Clarksville, says John F. Kelly, chairman of the MSU horticulture department. Plans for Clarksville are taking shape, Kelly says. An equipment repair and maintenance facility now being built will be completed in October. In addition, the station will be equipped with a $1.1 million irrigation system that will make it possible to control the amount and tirtiing of water supplied to each research plot and minimize and labor required for management of the system. This additional control over the irrigation equipment has increased the cost of the system, but it is essential for research in which field trials may require different amounts of water for various sites. The Clarksville Station replaces the former South Haven Station, which was dosed in 1980 because it was not suitable for the interdisciplinary research that is now so important for further progress, Kelly explains. Established in the late 1800s, the station included seven propertiessome of which were not being used for researchwhich the dty of South Haven had surrounded. Its distant location made research sometimes, inconvenient for scientists whose work also required the facilities in East Lansing. In addition, the soil types at South Haven were variable and often not typical of those found in orchards and farms around the state. Research from another Agricultural Experiment Station field research site, the Graham Station in Kent County, will be moved to Clarksville in the future. Like South Haven, Graham is likely to be overtaken by “urban sprawl" -this time from Grand Rapids-and eventually might have to be dosed. According to Kelly, the Clarksville site was a compromise location, because it was at the northern edge of the fruit belt and at the southeastern edge of one of the state’s major apple producilon areas. However, successful fruit orchards and farms operate adjacent to the Clarksville Station, and no problem is anticipated with the selection of the Clarksville site. It has a range of soil types that represents a fair cross-sect­ ion of horticultural soils, Kelly says. There are no real sands, however. It is expected that the station will be completed and operating fully by late 1984, Kelly says. Funding for the station has been spread over a period of years since the purchase of the property, and though it Hastings might appear that improve­ ments such as roads and buildings are moving slowly, progress in continuing on schedule. Some general plantings and limited research have been started already at Clarksville, says Gerald Skeltis, station manager. The first research began “in the fruit end" in 1979, he says. Before that, the land was rented to local farmers so that the property would not stand idle while plans and funding for the station were being worked out. Rootstock trails are being conducted with cherries, both sweet and tart, and breeding tests have begun with peaches and cherries. Asparagus and rhubarb are being studied, too. General plantings are designed to provide researchers with ready stock for future research. Apples, pears, plums, cherries and grapes have been planted or will be fairly soon. Already some commodity groups* representatives have been out to see the station and to work there, Kelly says. The grape growers, for example, came to the station, worked on a research site and helped to establish a vineyard. That kind of help is important, because the station now is being run by only three full-time employes. Five more workers have been hired for 90 days as summer labor, and 10 employees have come to work through the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act program. The CETA workers are helping to clear land and develop a road system. Promote George F. Carney, son of Mr. and Mrs. Carroll L.

Mary Spackman, Manager of Great Lakes Federal Savings aud Loan in Hastings, talk about the science of managing money matiers at their regular monthly meeting Tuesday evening, August 11, al the Moose Lodge. “Of greatest interest in the field of money matters is investment and savings," said Mrs. Spackman. In her 16 years in lhe savings and loan business, Mary said she's seen a lot of changes in the past, and is still seeing changes for the future. "There are many opportunities for investment,” said Mary, “but there's a big difference between investment and savings. Investment, commonly called money market mutual funds, boils down to the pooling of people’s money in small amounts and investing it. One should thoroughly understand this concept before becoming involved. This type of investment offers a high rate of return, but is not insured and the high rate of return is not guaranteed. There’s even a handling charge or broker fee at times. The investor usually can withdraw funds without penalty. There are differences between money market mutual funds and savings certificates. Money market lacks insured principle guaranteed interest rates. Before investing, one should decide how much money one can risk. There are other ways to invest where the pay-back is big and investor’s money is protected. For example, according to Mrs. Spackman, 6-month money market certificates are available in amounts of $10,000.00 or more, and once invested for 182 days (6 months) they are guaranteed to earn at a specific rate. By law, simple interest is paid at the end of the six-month period. The newest item on the investment field today is the new 2,z» year certificate. Until just recently, federal law prescribed a 12% ceiling on these certificates, but since the lifting of the ceiling, these certificates are paying a current rate of $5.8%, continually compounded. “The beauty of this one,” said Mrs. Spackman, “is that you can open one with as little as $100.00 or any amount over $100.00." | Government Securities or Municiple Bonds are good investments, but in most cases the average individual cannot take advantage of them because they are available only in much larger amounts. Another new form of investment is the Retail Repo (repurchase) Agreement where an institution is borrowing from the public. However, this is not savings for the investor, not a certificae, and is not insured. Investment in real estate is good right now, but difficult unless the investor has the money to buy property outright because of the current high interest rate. Mrs. Spackman said she's heard many say, “I just can't save a thing." For this person, Mrs. Spackman suggests a number of items. First, she suggests they analyze their goals: then set aside something, even if it's just $5.00 per week and set a savings pattern; decide not to use what has been saved; and when the savings has built up, put it into some form of certificate savings. Mrs. Spackman emphasized to “never put all funds into certificates," because of the penalty to get the funds back in case of emergency "Keep some funds liquid," she suggested. Another way to earn interest, even on spending money, is to have a savings and loan interest bearing checking account. These accounts offer 5‘A% compounded and is the most advantageous way for interest to be paid to the saver because money earns interest until it's taken out of an account. Touching lightly on adverse publicity tha savings and loans may have recently received, Mrs. Spackman said that in the West Woodland News Mary Spackman, Manager of Great Lakes Federal Savings and Loan in Hastings, spoke to her fellow members of the Hastings Business and entire country, fewer than 5% of the savings and loan associailons have had any kind of trouble. "Great Lakes for example," said Mrs. Spackman, “has an $8 million dollar financial statement, is lhe fourth largest in Michigan and has ample reserves.” “Set your goals, analyze your needs, decide what you want for a return, study your options and make your decision on the manner of savings that is best for your particular needs," concluded Mrs. Spackman. BPW President Laura Mann welcomed three guests, Gerri Kuzava, Patti Aumick and Kathy Main. Members and guests filled out a survey at the request of the Hastings Police Department, in keeping with the National BPW suggestion for members to become more community involved. Mary Pennock and Sharlot Sours gave the members a report on their trip to San Francisco in July to attend the BPW National Convention. Sharlot said that 2,903 attended the convention and Michigan had the second largest delegation with 155 arrangements for her physician in lhe village. near Wayland.

Tourism generates billions of dollars annually for Michigan businesg. Charting a course to further this economic potential is the primary purpose of a special conference being held Sept. 9-11 at the Michigan State University Kellogg Center for Continuing Education. With support from the MSU Agricultural Experiment Station, researchers from the MSU Department of Park and Recreation Resources are cooperating with the MSU Schoo) of Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional Management and the Michigan departments of commerce, (natural resources and transportation in cosponsor­ ing the event. Jon Bartholic, assistant director of the MSU Agricultural Experiment Station, points out that the major role of the Experiment Station is to provide supporting research for many of Michigan's industries. "We are particularly interested in this conference because it will help us identify the most pressing research needs of Michigan’s tourism industry so that we can more effectively fulfill our research role in the state,” he says. Donald F. Holecek, MSU associate professor of park and recreation recourses, says that the three-day event is open to anyone associated with Michigan tourism. He relates that 20 of the state’s major tourism related associations have endorsed the event. These include associations representing businesses which sell products such as boats and motorcycles or services such as meals and lodging; associations representing the interests of the traveler; and state, regional and local government agencies involved in planning and serving Michigan tourists. This , support is encouraging because it indicates the breadth of concern with the future of Michigan tourism. It also insures that the recommendations developed at the conference will be based upon input from participants from all parts of Michigan’s tourism system, Holecek adds. Jack Wilson, of the Michigan Department of Commerce Travel Bureau, says his agency is interested because tourists in 198J spent $5 billion in Michigan. Taking into account the subsequent spending these dollars stimulated, this added about $9 billion to Michigan’s economy: One J. Scherschlight, of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, says his department became involved because it manages many of the natural attractions without the state's excellent system of highways, "and that accounts for our decision to cosponsor the event,” says H. Keith Scott, of the Michigan Department of Transportation. | To initiate discussions, experts familiar with Michigan tourism will give a series of presentations. In addition to providing facts and figures, speakers will offer their suggestions for expanding the industry. Participants will have ample opportunity to join in discussions and provide their perspectives on the needs of the industry and strategies for meeting these needs. A complete program and registration materials can be obtained by writing Donald Holecek, or Joe Fridgen, Department of Park and Recreation Resources, MSU, East Lansing, MI 48824, or call (517) 353-0823.

Bugged By Bugs? Insects can be real pests. They bite and sting, often pass on serious disease and destroy crops. As California's Mediterranean fruit fly epidemic demonstrated, they can threaten an entire state's economy. According to the current issue of Ranger Rick's Nature Magazine, farmers and gardeners are fighting back without using harmful pesticides by “trying to give diseases to insects." Many growers use a sort of “germ warfare" to rid their crops and gardens of harmful insects. Their weapons are various micro­ organism such as bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and fungi. The environmental advantage to these micro­ organisms is that they are “species specific," meaning they do their dirty work on only one insect species. Unlike pesticides, they don't wipe out all the bugs in their path, some of which may be beneficial to the gardener. The National Wildlife Federation monthly publication for young people notes that a strain of bacteria called milky spore disease is often used to kill Japanese beetles, a common garden pest. Cotton growers also use germ warfare to fight what is probably the most commercially damaging insect, the cotton bollworm. The insects' larvae are buried deep inside the cotton boll, where pesticides can't reach. So nematodes, tiny wormlike organism, usually regarded as pests themselves, are applied to the the cotton crop. Carrying with them a bacteria that kills the bollworm larvae, the nematodes consume the dead embryo, leaving the plant intact. Certain bacteria-carrying nematodes are also responsible for leveling such insects as com borers, cabbage worm larvae, and tobacco budworrn larvae. Unfortunately, some strains of micro-organisms can harm beneficial insects, for as Ranger Rick points out, "just like people, insects can be infested with different kinds of bacteria, viruses, and fungi." While we don't usually notice a bug with a bug, the honeybee can be struck by two serious diseases feared by beekeepers. “One of the worst diseases bee larvae can get is called foulbrood,” says Ranger Rick. The disease is caused by a type of bacterium which kills the honeybee larvae, leaving behind a bad-smell­ ing hive. No cure has been found. w inter semester awards.

COMMISSION ORDER • - (Under authority of Act 230, P.A. 1925, as amended) CONTINUATION OF CLOSURE TO PUBLIC FISHING ON DAGGETT LAKE, BARRY COUNTY, FOR FISHERIES RESEARCH The Natural Resources Commission, at its July 10,1981, meeting, under the authority of Act 230, P.A. 1925, as amended, renewed its order of July 9, 197G, for a period of five years beginning January 1, 1982, which closes Daggett Lake in Barry County, Section 1, T2N, R10W, to public fishing. WIN Recipients Employers who hire Aid to Dependent Children (ADC) recipients can receive substantial tax credits for wages paid them under provisions of the federal Work Incentive Program. Dabbed "WIN.” the project was started in the late 1960s and streamlined in 1978. The purpose of WIN is to help welfare recipients enter the job market and earn wages that will allow them to escape their dependence upon public assistance. The tax credits are offered to encourage hiring by private employers. Under the WIN program, private employers can claim a 50% tax credit on the first $6,000 paid to an ADC employee during the first year of work, and 25% on the first $6,000 paid during the second year of employment. In 1978. about 5,800 companies in the United States took advantage of the tax credit benefits and saved more than $21 million. Nearly 300,000 people found jobs and left the ADC rolls that year as well. To apply for tax credits, the employer selects and hires an employable person who is registered with WIN, completes a one-page certification form supplied by WIN, keeps records of wages paid to claim the correct amount of credit, and files IRS form 4874 along with the regular, yearend federal income tax returns. Employers must retain the employee for at least 30 consecutive days on the job, but there is nu limit on the number of WIN employees who can be hired,. Unused tax credit may be carried back three years to claim refunds first, and then forward seven years to claim the credit on future tax returns. ADC recipients between 16 and 65 years old an required to register for WIN unless they are ill or disabled, have pre-school children Io care for or are pregnant, have another dependent adult to care for in the home, or are full-time students between ages 16 and 21. Exempted ADC recipients can volunteer to participate in WIN. In 1979, Michigan had 63,577 ADC clients register­ ed for WIN (5,086 of whom volunteered). That year, 19,534 (or about 31 percent) of the WIN registrants got jobs saving an estimated $6 million in ADC payments. In 1980, results were less impressive due to an economic slowdown and high unemployment in the state. Nevertheless, the number of registered ADC clients rose to 90,211 last year (with 4,831 volunteers). 14,764 WIN registrants (or about 16.5 percent) were employed during 1980 for an estimated savings of more than $5 million. WIN rosts are tunded 90 percent with federal money. In Michigan, the program is jointly administered by the state Department of Social Services and the Michigan Employment Security Commission iMESC). admission, following select­ ion of the recipient of the BPW Scholarship Committee. Complete information and application may be obtained from the Adult-ed offices in any of the qualifying school districts and must be returned to the Scholarship Committee by the dates stipulated.

Under the plan, each participating in a school sports activity would pay $30 to participate. If a student is involved in more than one sport, he or she would pay $30 for each sport. For those students who cannot afford the fee, jobs will be found in the community so they can earn the sports fee. The plan was drawn up when it became apparent the Citizens Fund Raising Committee would be unable to raise the $50,000 originally considered necessary to finance school althletics in addition to anticipated gate receipts. The athletic budget was reconsidered, and reduced to $65,000, which should fund 26 sports in both junior and senior high schools. Among the items trimmed were transportation. The revised budget provides for paid transportation for all football, junior high sports, and boys and girls track. Other sports would have transportation furnished by volunteers. Under the revised budget, gate receipts of $30,000 are anticipated. Ticket prices will be raised for football and basketball, but remain the same for other sports. Students could get reduced price tickets by purchasing them in advance, but would pay full price al the gate. The fund-raising committee, according to Bob Miller, administrative assistant non-instruction, told the board committee that it expected to raise $20,000 in its current drive. The drive should be completed by mid-September. The remaining $15,000 in the sports budget will come from student fees, based on 500 students participating at $30 per student. Students quitting a sport will lose their fee; those who are cut from a team will get their fee refunded. About $12,000 was cut from the original athletic budget, but reducing the number of coaches, supplies and transportation. The reduction in transportation represents about $8,000 of Pennock and HHS Sites of WMU Classes "Issues in Health Education: Biofeedback," "The Twenties," "Social Conflict" and “Creative Dramatics for Children" are 4 of the 34 courses offered by the Western Michigan University Division of Continuing Education during its fall semester schedule, from Sept. 14 to Dec. 19, through the WMU South Central Regional Center at Battle Creek.

He explained, “One of the nicest things about it is that it's one of the more curable cancers. Between surgery, radio-iodine treat­ ment and giving the patient high doses of thyroid in medication form, patients are controlled well." Dr. Raiman recommends that a person who has had x-ray therapy inform their current family doctor so that the information is part of the patient's medical history. “The family doctor should know what's happened in a patient's medical life,” said Raimon. Dr. Raiman further ex­ plained the involvgnent of a nuclear-radiologist in the treatment of thyro# .cancer. In addition to being medi­ cal doctor, this specialist is trained in x-ray rjtldlogy and has taken additional training in nuclear isotopes. These are products of atomic research during World War II when certain elements were created in the radio-ac­ tive state. In treating a cancerous thyroid, a radio­ active substance is used to bring the radio activity to the site of the tumor, locally and immediately, to the thyroid gland. It avoids radiating all other tissues. Drinking the radio active iodine sends it directly to the thyroid where it is picked up selectively by the thyroid gland, giving only the thy­ roid gland the high level of radio-active concentration, thereby not affecting sur­ rounding structures. Dr. Raiman said that over 35 years of active surgical practice, he's treated per­ haps 100 people for various carcinoma (cancer) of the thyroid. He emphasizes that “such use of x-ray therapy, (treat­ ing an enlarged thymus) has been abandoned far enough in the past that it's almost of historical interest now." But he encourages people to check with a doctor if they notice any unusual nodules or bumps. Becky Bass told The Ban­ ner, "By catching this soon enough, a person has an excellent chance of complete recovery, but that's the im­ portant part - catching it soon enough." She encour­ aged those who may have received x-ray therapy in childhood in the years in question, to contact a doctor immediately if they should notice any lumps, bumps, nodules or anything out of the ordinary in the thyroid area. Her mother, Barb Penn­ ington said, “If we've helped just one person by telling our story, it’s worth going through all this. She encour­ aged those born between 1947 and 1953 who have had x-ray therapy to be aware that treatment is available and chances for complete recovery are good if a can­ cerous condition is diagnos­ ed early. Becky is returning to Dr. Champion for her final check-up al the end of this week. He said her condition “looks good." ' Sheriff’s Department Doesn’t Give Up State Police Artist Makes Composite Drawing State Trooper Greg Fouly is investigating a complaint of criminal sexual conduct in the first degree, occuring in the Day-Use Area of the Yankee Springs Slate Park on Thursday.

Both Richelle and Salli will be juniors al Hastings High Schoo] this fall and both are in the color guard of the Corchman Drum and Bugle Corps. The girls became interest­ ed in joining the group when a recruiter came to Hastings' band class last spring and talked to the class about joining. Since becomming members, the girls speak very enthusiastically about the Corps. Richelle says she "plans to continue” in the Corps. “I think it’s great. There’s not much time for social life but you meet so many interesting people, it’s worth it," she said. Linda agreed, saying, “It’s a really good experience and very interesting. I’ll probably age-out,” explaining that the Corps are open to anyone between 12 and 21 years of age. Salli said she’s "looking forward to being with the Corps as long as possible," and speaks highly of the travel opportunity and chance to meet such a var­ iety of people. The group rehearses at weekend camps in Grand Rapids, and during the per­ forming season, they are on the road from Thursday to Monday all summer. Drum and Bugle Corps competition is being held this week in Montreal with preliminaries scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 18. Finals include international compe­ tition. The Corps are continually looking for more members and, ideally, (because of travel distance to rehear­ sals) anyone who lives with­ in 40 miles of Grand Rapids could join, but everyone is welcome. The group has been organized for seven years and until now has been self-funded. Next year, Am­ way will be sponsoring the Corps, and it is anticipated that the Corps will become stronger and will be equip­ ped with belter uniforms and equipment. Linda, Richelie and Salli are all looking forward to participating in the final round of competition this week. But moreso, they are fondly looking forward to renewing their friendships with other members of the Corps when they begin their circuit again next summer. Wish" by Stevie Wonder.

Good luck to all 4-H members attending Animal Science Weekl MICHIGAN MIRROR Task Force Releases Final Report on Prisons ...And don’t miss an issue SUBSCRIBE to the Hastings Banner Your Twice - ffaty Newptyrf Only 510.00 fcr 51 Weeks -104 Issues By WARREN M. HOYT Final Task Force Recommendations On Prison Riots Released Improving prison conditions, guard training, overcrowding, staff levels and prisoner grievances were among 59 recommendations developed by a special task force investigating recent prison disturbances. f The task force warned atoo that should the recommendations be ignored, some day a "future riot with a potential of death and destruction far transcending the results of May, will again focus the attention of the public." Governor William G. Milliken, who empaneled the task force to study the causes of last May's prison riots at three state prisons, said he will use the recommendations as a management tool to effect changes which need to be made. The governor also dispelled any thoughts of removing Corrections Department Director Perry Johnson. "Under very difficult and trying circumstances he has done an outstanding iob," Milliken said of Johnson. The recommandations began with overcrowding, which the report noted was misunderstood. Problems of too many prisoners to a cell or crowded dormitories generally did not exist in these prisons that erupted, the report said. However, overcrowding does result in improper classification of prisoners-sending some to medium security faciltiies when they should be in maximum security-which damages security. The repor also criticized staffing proceduresand'abor/management relations. Staffing should never be allowed below critical levels, guard positions should be considered part of a career ladder instead of a deadend job, adequate supervision should bo provided, experienced labor personnel be hired-especially at Southern Michigan Prison at Jackson-the report says. It also urges improved training, which includes minimum education requirements, psychological testing, expanded classroom and job related training and continuous training. Former Supreme Court Justice Lawrence Lindemer, chairman of the task force, said an especially important recommendation deals with restoring some sort of good time reward system. The task force unanimously felt that the 1978 adoption of good time repeal-prevent­ ing prisoners from having any part of their sentences reduced for good behavior-hurt management of the prisoners. Johnson said the department was looking at some options, including one where prisoners serving long sentences could have their sentence commuted by the governor for good behavior. 7 The report also concluded that Jackson prison-the world's largest walled prisonshould be divided into autonomous institutions, each with a separate warden and staff. Also recommended that staff and guards get additional education on black, urban experiences to help eliminate racism between staff and prisoners; that automatic appeal of prisoner grievances to circuit court be eliminated; more segregated and detention cells be created; and the food service be improved, the prisons kept clean and stafr dress codes be enforced. Milliken said there may be difficulties in getting public acceptance for the proposals. He also said he did not know how much the proposals would cost or where the funds for them could be found, but said they would have a high priority.

The Barry County Court­ house Complex was nominated for listing in the National Register because the Michigan History Division of the Department of State and the State Historic Preservation Review Board believed it to be a site of outstanding historical and architectural significance, according to Martha M. Bigelow, Director of the Michigan History Division, who is also the State Historic Preservation Officer. The Barry County Court­ house Complex was formally accepted for registration by the Heritage Conservation and Recreation Service, Department of the Interior on August 8,1981. Commission Majority Explains Trans Decision The six-member majority of , the Coaaty Commissioners which recently approved the scaled-down transportation plan for Barry County has issued the following explanation of what the system is which was approved, and the reasoning behind their dedsion: The 6-vehicle transportation system adopted by a majority of the Barry County Board of Commissioners represents a plan that is far different from the original concept which was brought to the attention of the Hastings City Council and the citizens of Barry County. The plan adopted is *4 the size of the original plan considered but will actually serve more people with fewer vehicles than what we have now, namely two vans and a standby van at the Commission on Aging and six vans for E.B.I. Breakthru. The county incentive plan will mean an overall redectiM in the number of vehicles; five vans will do the work of eight by eeaahteing service to the elderly and handicapped, E.B.I. clients, and a limited amount of service to the general public on an advance reservation basis. Through more efficient routing and utilization of the same vehicles throughout the day, the county incentive plan is an intelligent and mere economical approach in providing transportation. The leased E.B.I. vans, for example, are in operation only two hours in the morning and two hours in the late afternoon; non­ productive vehicle time will be eliminated under the new county incentive plan. On March 25, 1961 the Hastings City Council unanimously defeated a motion that “the council go on record as being in favor of mass transportation." Later, after their own independent study, the Board of Commissioners defeated-the 10-vehicle system by a vote of 11-0. Those citizens and public bodies expressing early opposition can realize that their input was heard and heeded by the Board of Commissioners. By the date the Board of Commissioners cast their unanimous vote against the larger public transportation system if was becoming evident the county would not have sufficient funds to make up the difference ($5,000, per vehicle for three vehicles would be the maximum allowed by the state) to continue providing senior citizens and handicapped citizens with transportation. Halting the service in turn would mean the two present vans and the standby vehicles would revert to the state. Since the county does not have sufficient funds, imagine the scenario of asking the city, townships. Community Fund, etc. to share in the financial effort...or the other alternative, asking for approval of a millage request to keep a limited amount of transportation going. Even opponents of mass transportation seemingly acknowledged that some form of service should continue to be provided, but prior to May 28th there were legitimate concerns about the level of state funding after the first two years under the public transportation plan then being discussed. A definite funding formula based on the “acquisition and operation of up to five small vehicles per county" (100% fer the first and second yean, 75% in the third year and 50% for the fourth and aabseqaent yean) was released by the Department of Transportation on May 28, 1981 and the Board of Commissioners at long last had some new and definitive information to con aider­ information that neither the City Coujiril, the Board of Commissioners itself, nor any group of citizens had known about at the time the ordinal opposition to mass transportation was expressed. The new policy also clear­ ly speaks of "roussMfcttng vehicles now operating under other auspices” and state that “revenues received during the third and subsequent years may be used for heal match.” A lot of tax dollars were already being used to provide 253 days of transportation a year for E.B.L clients. Based on the present cost of $7.76 per client day this amounts to $1,963.28, or to transport 58 clients the total is $104,050 yearly. This comes from the following budgets: Barry County Probate (1 passenger) $1,96828 Com­ munity Mental Health (1 passenger) $1,968.28) Intermediate School District (18 passengers) 25,522.64; Dept, of Social Services (88 passengers) 74,604.64; Total 58 passengers $104,05834. With the adoption of the 5-vehide county incentive plan this S164JM0 romhfaid with fare box revesmoo wfl all be regarded as Imai match dollars." There appears to be little probability that county taxpayers need fear betag asked for nay millage request in the future. Adoption of the county incentive plan means a difficult and complex problem has finally been solved in a fiscally prudent way. However opponents and those who have not realized that the plan adopted is far different from the original plan first discussed have continued suggesting in the media that taxes and millage increases would occur. A number have expressed doubts that the state would have the financial ability to pay much of anything two years down the road. Commissioners know that should any unforseen problem with state funding .occur, the county clearly has the option of stepping out of the county incentive contract and be no worse off than we are now. Other arguments were made that the gasoline tax money could be better spent in other ways (I.E. such as for road improvements). But how fuel tax dollars are used is totally beyond the jurisdiction of the Barry County Board of Commissioners. On November 7,1978 the voters of the state of Michigan approved a constitutional amendment which specifies exactly how fuel tax dollars will be divided and how they will be exclusively used. Public transportation is, of course, one of the definite programs funded by fuel tax dollars. Even a fleeting glance at the constitutional amendment approved by the people of Michigan should make it evident to one and all that a portion of our fuel tax dollars will-continue to be earmarked for transportation, whether the funds are utilized in Barry County or not. And if not used in Barry County, these transportation dollars would gladly be accepted by Wayne, Kent, or any other county. Also obvious is the fact that tax dollars from the budgets of Barry County Probate, Community Mental Health, Intermediate School Distrct and the Department of Social Services will continue to fund transportation needs of E.BJ. Break-thru. The 5-van system we will have will merely enable Barry County to “take credit” for the amount already being ■gent, using this amount as “local match” dollars. An editorial in the March 4,1981 issue of The Hastings Banner titled “Start Transportation On a More Limited Basis'* recommended that present systems “pool resources, put their money in a common fund and let one manager and central staff run it." This is exactly what county incentive does...But to have refused to accept the return of our fuel tax dollars and to not take “local match" credit for transportation dollars already being spent for E.B.I. would have left next to nothing to "pool” in the months ahead. Nut to have adopted the county incentive plan would have left, as our only remaining option, a serious struggle locally to raise sufficient dollars to provide some sort of needed transportation for those senior citizens and handicapped citizens who need this service. One Hastings City Council member originally joined his colleagues back in March in expressing opposition to mass transportation. Later, after realizing the facts about the scaled-down system and the concept of using fewer vehicles to serve more people and taking credit for “local match" dollars through a combined system, this same individual, who is also a member of the Commission on Aging, answered "yes" on a roll-call vote in favor of the 5-vehicle county incentive plan. It is hoped that all citizens will finally come to realize that the county incentive plan avoids what could have amounted to double taxation and that we will not be paying twice for less service. It is hoped by the majority of the members of the Barry County Board of Commissioners that all citizens of Barry County will finally come to understand what the county incentive plan is really all about.

Michigan Lawrence Schlack Steps Down By MARY LOU GRAY One of the few administrators who advocated consolidation of intermediate school districts is stepping down from the very position that may have eventually been eliminated. Lawrence Schlack, 49, is resigning his post as Superintendent of the Barry Intermediate School District effective September 4, after holding the position 11 years. Schlack, who has always maintained his Kalamazoo residency, will be returning there where he will be on the Department of Education staff at Western Michigan University this fall. Schlack has been in favor of consolidating intermediate school districts and supported legislation to reduce the number of districts in Michigan from 57 to 22. "Consolidation is a trend over a 15 to 20 year period in many states,” said Schlack, explaining, “to have 57 instructional material centers is foolish in the name of economy." Opposition was heavy when original legislation proposed by Senator Kerry Kammer would have reduced the districts by almost two-thirds, the bill failed, but will be re-introduced this fall with a revised proposed reduction from 57 districts to 36. “Many who didn’t want consolidation have been left alone,” explained Schlack. and “now there’s less opposition with the revised figure of 36 instead of 22 intermediate districts. "Politically, it’s a hard thing to do.” said Schlack. The Barry Intermediate School District, and other intermediate districts exist to provide services to the local school districts, primarily services for handicapped children; and they serve as a link between the school and the Michigan Department of Education in Lansing. The Barry Intermediate School District includes the Hastings and DeltonKellogg school area. The intermediate school district employs people to teach children with speach handicaps; to test children suspected as being handicapped; to teach both mentally and physically handicapped children; to develop a plan to serve all handicapped children in conjunction with the school districts it serves, in this area the Hastings and Delton-Kellogg school districts. Schlack pointed out that both Delton-Kellogg and Hastings Districts have classrooms for the learning disabled and in addition the Hastings district has classrooms for the mentally and emotionally handicapped. The Intermediate School District also assists the schools within its district in interpreting regulations and the special education law. The Barry Intermediate School District purchases services from the Kalamazoo Intermediate District for Hastings and Deltgon-Kellogg, from the Kalamazoo Instructional Center. The BI8D also compiles, prepares and files reports with the State Department of Education for the Hastings and DeltonKellogg school districts, pertaining to school membership, school bus transportation and other statistics.1 data. “The Intermediate School District provides whatever other assistance the school districts may ask or wane," said Schlack. Legislation creating Intermediate School Districts dates back to 1962. Previously, the district was known as the Barry County School District and one such district existed for every county in the State, headed by a County Commissioner of Schools. The consolidation efforts of 1962 reduced the number of districts from 88 (1 for each county) to 57. Each district was headed by a Superintendent, replacing the Commissioner of Schools. The current consolidation move is being made in the name of equity, economy and efficiency. An effort is being made through consolidation to provide every local district accesr bility to each kind of serv’.-e available to others, such as data processing and Dr. Lawreace Sddadt skill centers. Economically, it is simply less expensive not to duplicate career centers and data process ©enters all over the State. It is more efficient to have fewer centers. There is a great difference in the number of students in various districts, and consolidation would make the size of the districts more equitable. For example, the Calhoun Intermediate District has 85,000 students, Kent Intermediate District has about 100,000 students and Barry Intermediate District has 6,500 students, with a Superintendent in charge of each. The bill proposing consolidation also includes a complete description of the make-up of the proposed districts to balance the population. The bill also guarantees jobs, not necessarily the same job, but guarantees employment. The districts will still need speech therapists, school psychologists, social workers and clerical staff. Consolidation is designed to steamline the school districts, not to eliminate their services. “It would be a better system for the State and better for the local school district,” said Schlack, stating further that “consolidation will be much to the advantage of the Hastings and Delton-Kell­ ogg School Districts, for the teachers and children." Schlack's replacement will be appointed by the Barry Intermediate Board of Education whose members include Robert Gaskill, G.M. Ketchum and Charles Faul representing the Hastings school district and Marcia Tiffany and Charles Monica representii g the Delton district. “They (the board) are working on finding a replacement. The position has been posted at placement offices at various universities and numerous applications have already been received." Schlack received his undergraduate degree from Michigan State, earning his master’s and Doctoral degrees from the University of Michigan. He taught three year* at Western Michigan University, was Project Director al Kalamazoo Valley Intermediate School District for three yean and came to Hastings 11 yean ago. Schlack said he "liked it" when he was on the Western Michigan Univenity faculty, adding, "a professor ought to wort in the school districts for a time to see what it’r like and then return to the campus." Schlack said it’s a good interchange for a career," and he is “looking forward” to his new position. Troopers Investigate B & E, Vandalism Breaking and entering was reported August 18, occurring August 12, at a home on Lawrence Road. Money and assorted coins were to. en from the home. Two young juveniles were apprehended by State Trooper Mike Haskamp, the money was recovered and the juveniles will be petitioned into probate court. Malicious destruction of properly was reported to State Police late August 18, by James Brownell of 8. Shore Road, Delton. While he was in the livingroom of his home, someone threw a large chunk of cement thru the front window. He was not injured by the flying glass from the 4 k 6 plate glass window.

Hall, despite suffering from a sore throat, gave a large crowd two fine shows at Sandyland on August 16. Known as “The Story­ teller" Tom has written hits for other individuals as well as ones he has recorded himself. !’e sang many of these songs to the appreciative audience. Among those he sang were “Ballad Of Forty Dollars," "Sneaky Snake." “Country Is." "The Year Clayton Delaney Died." among others. Hall also showed himself to be a fine banjo picker on a few numbers highlighted by "Foggy Mountain Break­ down." He closed his show with his most requested song, “Old Dogs, Children, and Watermelon Wine." Preceding Tom on stage, was on old veteran of country music, Jack Ripley. Ripley went to great lengths to entertain the audience. He impersonated Kenny Rogers. Walter Brennan. Paul Lynde, John Cash, and then removed his false teeth and portrayed an 80-yr old rock star. Jack, who has a problem with stuttering, said. “I talked with Mel Tillis the other day. I only talked for three minutes, but it cost $82. Then it turned out to be a wrong number." Others entertaining were Don Lincoln, Judy Chrisman from Grand Rapids, and the Country Playboys from Moscow, Michigan. Coming next to Sandyland Park will be some rock and roll this Saturday night,.

Fmm this side, ft to hard to tel that the home to barfed in the earth. Is an Underground Wonder By HUGH FULLERTON Banner Publisher Our ancesters lived Iri'.caves and boHows. Our pioneer forebears often lived in dugouts and sod houses as they settled the prairie. Now. man is returning to live In the earth-with style. The level of style can be seen in a new earth-sheltered home recently completed near Hudsonville, southwest of Grand Rapids. David and Melody Steams, a young couple with progressive ideas, commissioned a team of architects, engineers and builders to design and build them an earth-sheltered home with the latest technology. With they got is unbelievabie-and economical! Your Muser had an opportunity to visit the home on an open house for the press last week, and was pleasantly surprised. Combin­ ing a new (really old) architectural concept with already-proven ideas for earth sheltering has produced a truly amazing home. We know that earth-sheltered homes need not be dark or damp. Homes already in use in Barry County have proven that. But this one improves on them. This house is nearly 2,700 square feet-a large home by most standards. It is two stories, with the west wall nearly a!l glass (double-glazed, of course). What makes it different from the start is the method of construction. The shefl of die iiome is a huge arch, made of sprayed-on concrete, "ke swimming pools. The ancients discovered the inherent strength of the arch, and we see numerous examples of it in contemporary construction. In strength and ease of construction, it offers some apparent advantages to other methods of building earth homes. The weight on an earth-sheltered home can be tremendous. This home, built into a hillside, has a minimum of 3 ft feet of dirt on top, and at the sides, much more than that. But with its arch shape, the dirt actually adds strength and rigidity, and not just weight to support, h's an intriguing Idea. To provide the small amount of heat needed for the home, the Steams have two small solar collectors, which will heat water, which is stored for heat. The engineers say the house can go for five or more days without sunlight and not need additional heat. A heat pump is available, but they don't expect to use it much. They also have a small wood-burning stove, which the engineers say will actually overheat the place. So the stove has a water jacket-like a car engine-to cool it. The excess heat can be used to heat the hot The Hastings water spa, which is outdoors. We asked one of the engineers how much body heat would contribute. He said that on 20 degree F, days, 28 people in the home, doing moderate activity, would provide all the heat the home wR! need I The secret, of course, is insulation. Outside the sprayed concrete waHc is a layer of extrudea polystyrene insulation, and beyond that, the earth. They figure there is very, very little heat loss through the earth-sheltered wall and arch. So electricity, to circulate the water from the solar collector, and drive the fans In the forced-air system, win be the only cost of heating. They expect the annual "heat" bill to be less than $86. That's a year, not for a month. The house has a lot of other goodies too, of course. It has a central computer to control the heating and cooling, communications, and monitor a sophisticated security system. There is a dish-shaped satellite receiver on top, so the Steams can get TV channels from around the world. They have an unusually attractive natural wood and stone facade on the open side of the house. All of this to great, but perhaps more than many of us need or could afford. Steams says the basic house could be duplicated at 136 per square foot at today's construction costs. That's considered cheap today. To make it even cheaper, the owner could have the earth arch constructed, and finish the interior himself, using conventional methods and materials, if he's handy. Stems' face really lights up, though, as he tells you how much money he expects to save in the years ahead on energy use. A home that size might cost a thousand dollars a year to heat today in this area. He has cut that to less than $100. If heat bills triple by the end of this century, his heat will still run around $200 a year! Hard to believe, but very possible. Stems sees his home as a good investment for the future. Even though he put a lot of frills in and ran the cost up, he figures he'll save plenty on future heat bills compared to above-ground homes. If you are as intrigued as I am over this idea, you can see the Stems home yourself. It's located just a couple miles southwest of Hudsonville, at 4210 48th Ave., just south of Chicago Dr. It's only about an hour's drive from Hastings, and well worth the trip. The Stems are charging visitors $2.60 to see the house, and it's open from noon to 9 p.m., every day but Sunday. You might want to give them a call at 669-6794, just to be certain it will be open when you can visit It. Banner IL’SPS 071-830] 301 S. Michigan. P.O. Box B. Hastings, MI 49058 Hugh S. Fullerton.

The Hastings Seventh-day Adventist Congregation gathered at 2:00 p.m. for the dedication and open house, attended by dignitaries of the church, Elders and guests. The Pathfinder group raised the flag, provided by Representative Howard Wolpe. The flag had only flown once before, over the Capitol in Washington, D.C. Music was provided by four students of the Battle Creek Academy. Dr. Glenn Hahn, School Board Chairman, gave a brief history of the planning and work that resulted in Saturday's realization of the Church's goal. He said the past history of the planning was short, but he and others look forward to a long future in educating their children. The decision to start their own school came in 1979. The area is zoned residential, but the change was granted, since there was no opposition. In 1980, church members decided to buy two portable 20 x 40 school units from Bellevue. Ground breaking took place in June, 1980. The portable units were then dismantled at the Bellevue site and transported to Hastings where they were reconstructed on the present site. The exteriors were changed, new roofs were put on and the units were carpeted. Desks were purchased for $5.00 each from a school in Williamston that was closing. The congregation has $27,594.00 invested in the land and buildings with only storm/ screen combinations to be pul on each unit and playground equipment must be set into place before the first day of school August 31. Following the official welcome by Elder Paul Howell, Pastor of the Hastings and Delton church, and the invocation by Elder Alvin Astrup, Associate Superintendent of Education of the Michigan Conference of Seven th-day Adventists. Elder Charles Keymer, President of the Michigan Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, preached the dedicatory sermon. “Opening this Phil McClain, Director of Teen Challenge of the Drag Rehabilitation Program of school is an important part of the Seven th-day Churches in the State of Michigan," said Elder Keymer. “You rank among 158 churches boasting 21,000 members, 55 elementary schools with 2,700 students, 5 academies and 1 university,” he said, adding that there are 8’4 million members world wide. "You are setting the right example by your desire to provide the best possible Christian education for the students that are members of this church," he said, adding that “training in the church schools prepares children to be capable in all careers of life.” The act of dedication was conducted by Elder Gary Randolph, Superintendent of Education of the Michigan Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, with the congregations particpatiiig. The prayer of dedication was led by Elder Elmer Malcolm, District Super­ intendent and Pastor of the Battle Creek Tabernacle, followed by Benediction by Robert Shaffer, an Elder of the Hastings church. The ribbon cutting was done by Catherine Thrall, Assistant Superintendent of Education of the Michigan Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, and Rex Reed, the teacher for the 1981-82 school year. The Hastings School will have grades one through eight. Ten students are already enrolled, and will be in all grades except 2 and 8. Students who previously attended Nashville and Hastings public schools and the Battle Creek Academy now boast their own school, which opens August 31. One of the portable structures will be used for the classroom and the other building, slated for future expansion, will be used for a rainy-day play area and meeting room for the Path­ finders. The Seventh-day Board of Education governs a K-12 operation and is headquart­ ered in Lansing. Each church school has their own local school Board and each school is required to have certification, meet the standards of the general conference of the Board of Regents and also of the Board of Education of the State of Michigan. More than 100 members and guests agreed with Elder Keymer's closing remarks, “We are delighted that we can come today for ithis dedication service."

Two Day Rally Successful The two-day rally sponsored by Citizens for Decency was termed “successful" following the final meeting last Friday evening. The featured speaker for the first rally Thursday evening. August 20, was Phil McClain, Director of Teen Challenge of the Drug Rehabilitation Program of Muskegon. About 50 people attended the meeting. Teens and young adults who “did drugs" presented testimony of their cure by going through McClain's Community Building in the first of the two-day rally sponsored by the Citizens for Decency. rehabilitation program. The religiously based Teen Challenge Program, founded in 1958 by Rev. David Wilkerson, bouts an amazing 86% cure rate, compared to de-tox facilities which claim a 1% cure rate and theraputic community­ type cure which, claims a 10% cure rate. The special speaker for the Friday rally was L. Brooks Patterson, Gubernatorial candidate and Oakland County's Prosecuting Attorney, known for his effective prosecution of pornography cases. Bruce Augustyniak, member of Citizens for Decency, first recognized local public officials who attended the meeting, Commissioners Otis Hermenitt and Paul Richard Dean and City Council­ woman Mary Lou Gray. Prior to introducing Patterson, Augystyniak introduced Ron Reis ter er, candidate for Don Gilmer's 55th District seat in the Michigan House of Representatives. Reisterer said he campaigns for freedom, but is opposed to pornography, as “porno­ graphy encourages, the very activities God forbids, such as adultry, fornication and homosexuality." Reisterer continued, “as a conservative, I’ve dedicated my life to the free enterprise system, but unrestricted freedom is chaos." Morality must be a part of .‘he political agenda,” said Reisterer, "or we can become a 20th Century Sodom and Gomorrah from Confiscate Cocaine, LSD Valued at $40,000 A two month investigation by the Hastings Stale Police Team, the Wayland State Police and a local police agency led to the arrest of three males and one female for violation of the narcotic law.

Condud-. ing Reisterer quoted Ben Franklin, who, at the age of 81 said, "I have lived a long lime, and the longer I live, the more I realize God governs in the affairs of men—" L. Brooks Patterson addressed some 50 people regarding his fight against pornography. It’s not just a cause, said Patterson. "State law makes pornography illegal, so I’m just enforcing the law,” he said. “It’s a $4 Billion dollar business and is illegal." Communities ought to have an acceptable level of decency said Patterson. “Prosecuting them," (those in the porno business), “is an attempt to maintain that acceptable level of decency." “The porno business causes economic, physical and moral blight," said Patterson, "and no community has to allow such activities.” “When the porno business moves in, legitimate businesses tend to shy away from such areas," said Patterson. “There are several ways to stop the growth of obvious porno criminal action,” sais Patterson. He endorsed the passage of an effective state law against such businesses. He said he is heading a petition drive to draft just such a state statute. It will be done by petition and about 280,000 valid signatures are needed in 8 months to put the proposal on the ballot. “Petitions are not yet avail­ able, because the original draft is in the hands of the Michigan Board of Canvassers who must approve the wording before the petition can be printed and distributed for the petition drive," said Patterson. He expects to have the petitions available for circulation in about 5 or 6 weeks. Once the petition drive gets underway and 280,000 signatures are certified as being valid, the suggested statute would be put on the ballot for voters in the 1982 fall election to decide if they want a tougher pornography law. Patterson said he drafted a statute that puts teeth into the law. The tough feature about his proposed statute is the abatement provision which presently is non existant in any pornography statues. The abatement provision would allow the padlocking of a theater or bookstore dealing in pornography and would permit the sale of its contents, including fixtures, furniture and even the build­ ing itself, everything except the land. “It would be effective," said Patterson "because it would cost them a lol of money to re-open. It would hit them right where it hurts - in the pocketbook." "Presently, lamented Patterson, “all I can do is subject them to a fine” (those convicted of porno­ graphy), explaining “there is no provision in the law to close them down. "The only "business" where padlocking is permitted at the present time is prostitution," said Patterson. Joining Patterson in the petition drive will be Rev. David Wood, head of Michigan Moral Majority, other state and local officials. "An effective zoning ordinance can keep porno­ ■ i graphy out," said Patterson. “You can't zone them out, | per se, because that's unconstitutional, but the i i ordinance can make it I tough, ” said Patterson. I Presently, Patterson said he I has a case heading for the 1 U.S. Supreme Court.

Citizen if they listen to the "Big Six" commissioners who have developed a serious struggle between the bureaucrats, whom they strongly defend, listen to their every request and direction.and go to extradordinary methods to implement these special interest groups problems regardless of the tactics and methods involved to complete the planned guidelines and goals which people living off the taxpay­ ers payroll desire. The ordinary citizen who pays for these luxury services of the minority in our midst might as well shout down an empty rain barrel since the bureaucrats and their special assistants will find a way to spend the money they want for their favorite project so they can remain on the public payroll. It’s time that Mr. John Q. Public stood up to the tax problems they face in this county and be counted. Help these five COMMISSIONERS who are trying to fairly renresent ALL BARRY COUNTY CITIZENS in a sensible objective economic manner.” The indoctrination these "big six" Commissioners are tossing around so freely to taxpayers is utter disregard for all the input private citizens projected as well as the public bodies who expressed opposition to their ideas. These six Commissioners are more interested in policy making for a socialistic regime than for the best interests of Barry County, Michigan Taxpayers. How long will you taxpayers continue to remain silent and disregard Lhe symptoms which are bankrupting our COUNTY and STATE budgets, not to mention the individual budgets, while these individuals have a HEY­ DAY with your tax dollars: It’s time you arose to lhe cause and offer your public support to the five Commissioners who are try­ ing to represent your best economic interest. Those who are suffering in this Community are the ones with personal initiative and the desire to help them­ selves.

We have a definite problem in this county, and all of your energies are needed to help RE-SHAPE GUIDELINES and put voluntary planning time to reshape a more productive future for the ordinary citizen instead of listening to the sympathy displayed by the bureaucrats and their INDOCTRINATED CLIENTS. The yellow journalism generated by the “Big Six” is serving to white wash the real issue about transportation and to defuse recall on their leader. Don’t be fooled. A Barry County Patriot, Ethel Boze To the Editor: We are very lucky to have an Adult Education Program in our community. It is an open door for those who want to better themselves and I wanted too. I’m a mother of four teenage children and I’m glad there is Aide for Dependent Children because at one time I needed it, but there is no dignity in free handouts, so thanks to the Adult Education Program I was able to walk through that open door, complete my education, take a special vocational course and get a job that made me SELFSUPPORTIVE.To me that means TOTAL EMANCIPATION. When I read that over half the people in America are on some kit id of Government Assistance, it shook me up. No government can stand as a free democracy under such pressure. I know some people on assistance are not able to do anything about it but I challenge the ones who can make the effort as I did. Il's free and it pays off.

Sapphire Attention to Economics By WARREN M. HOYT Economics To Top Fall Legislative Agenda The Fall legislative session will be dedicated to improving the economic conditions of Michigan. Both the governor and legislative leaders have placed the highest of priorities on legislative solutions to aid in making the state a better place to maintain a business, expand one and/or relocate new one*. Governor William G. Milliken and Republican leaders reached agreement at a summit on Mackinac Island on the basic outlines of an economic development plan that would receive legislative action this fall. Details of the agreement, however, were not announced to allow for discussions with Democratic leaders, labor and business interest groups. • • • Management and Budget Director Gerald Mfller did say that over the next three years, the plans could mean some $2 billion in individual and business tax cuts. He added, however, that state income tax cuts would not be part of the package. The package would also deal with workers and unemployment compensation changes; incentives for small business, high technology and foreign trade and investment; and increased promotional programs to attract new businesses. • • • Miller said the workers compensation changes could actually be the most significant part of the tax package. Changes in the tax structure would include single business tax and property tax relief. Meanwhile, Senate and House Democrats have 8 plan of their own designed to give business tax incentives and property tax relief to make Michigan a better place to live and do business. • • • Milliken later announced he will recommend legislation to help state businesses take advantage of research and development In the new federal tax cut law. The governor, who along with California Governor Edmund Brown Jr. recently lead a National Governors' Association Task Force on Technological Innovation, Mid the tax Nl can cause a very significant flow of reeeerch and development funds in the state. The tax cut measure includes a 25 percent tax credit for increases in research and development expenditures and contains special incentives for university projects and for industry donations to university programs. Milliken Mid the state tax programs could include economic incentives or special state efforts to make Michigan businesses aware of available federal incemivea and to help them take advantage of them. Both the executive office end the legislature are thinking business climate this summer and aiming toward programs this fall to solve some of the problems plaguing state businesses and industries. It remains to be seen how quickly they can pull together to accomplish these goals so necessary to the health of the state. 4-H Newi Statistical Forms Due From 4-H Leaders By KATHY A.

Board members Wilbur Marsh and Russell Geary were absent from the meeting. A large audience was present at the meeting and several expressed concerns about changes in the transportation policy which would require students to walk up to one mile to meet the bus. Concern was expressed for children living within one mile of the school they attend who would not be picked up by the school bus in addition to elimination of shuttle busses be tween the two elementary buildings in Nashville. Approval was given operating the transportation program basically the same as al the end of the 1980-81 school year pending the outcome of the vote this fall. Voting in favor of this motion were Wayne Cogswell, Virginia Fox, Elam Rockwell, and Ronald Tobias with Dale Ossenheimer Jr. voting nay.

The closing is part of an economy move by the library to balance its budget, which reportedly is several thousand dollars in the red this year. * Clifford Dolan, library board president, said that the Thursday closing was authorised in a unanimous vote of the library board, taken by telephone. Dolan said the action will receive formal approval at the li­ brary board's meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 90. The Banner, however, has information to indicate chat the library board is not unanimous in their decision to reduce services, and. in fact, one member of the board waa not asked for an opinion until this Monday morning, Aug. 24. two days after the library's news re­ lease, dated Aug. 22, was prepared. According to Ms. Oehler’s news release, some staff expenditures were cut last April when the part time assistant librarian's position was eliminated, saving about S7.000.00. De,pile staff reductions, expendi­ tures exceded receipts and donations “for extras" will have to be transferred to operating expeditures to balance accounts for the year, according to the re- Periodicals have been slightly cut, but 1982 plans call for drastic cuts, as reported by Ms. Oehler. Ms. Oehler further states that all moves to increase income will be made, “but none will raise substantial amounts of money." All cash grants from the city budget and from penal fines will be invested until needed at the highest possible rates of return. Townships will be asked to con tribute more to the library's support.

Immunization Required As kindergarteners march off to school for the first time this fall, most of them can be sure of several things. They won't contract measles, mumps, rubella, diptheria, pertussis (whoop­ ing cough) tetanus or polio. And their hearing and vision problems, if any, will have been detected and attempts made to correct them. Enforcing the school entry law guarantees that. All children entering school for the fijst tim**, anr1 transfer students from other school districts, must show proof of immunization against the seven childhood communicable diseases before they are admitted. In a few instances, they may have their final immunization within two months after school starts. They also must have their vision and hearing tested, usually at their local health department, and proof of that examination and the findings must be presented at the school. The only exceptions to the school entry law are those children whose health would be jeopardized by immunization, or whose parent’s beliefs are contrary to the concept of immunization. Immunization should ded in cases of need. For several years the Hastings Public Library has granted free borrowers’ cards to all senior citizens in Barry County. Effective Sept. 1. the non­ resident borrowers* card fee will increase from $5 per year to $10 for a fanvly card. The $10 amount was adopt­ ed, or recommended for adoption, by the Lakeland Library Cooperative to all its members some time ago. Application has been made to the cooperative for redress of an imbalance in reciprocal lending by the Hastings Library, as com­ pared with the reciprocal borrowing done by its pa­ trons. The greatest imbal­ ance is in the number of «*• «« residents of Carlton, u-vuig, Irving, Thornapple, and Yankee Springs townships who borrow from Hastings, comparwith the number of Hastings resident patrons who borrow from the Freeport or Middleville pubtic ,!t— libraries. The shortage of income for 1980-81, and 1981-82 results primarily from three major cuts: loss of county re >nuesharing funds of $3,768 in both 1980-81 and in 1981-82; a cut of $4,000 for 1981-82 in the city funding ef the library; and a reduction of penal fines income from $10,664 in 1980-81 to $7,069 for 1981-82.

Broadway got official approval for construction of a proposed 40 x 52 addition to their existing building last Friday, August 21. when the City's Zoning Board of Appeals unanimously grant­ ed the requested variance. Present for the meeting were Max ---------Myers, - -----------------David Jasperse, Jim Sutherland and Chairman Jack Echtinsw. Non-voting member Michael Payne, the City's assessor and building inspector was also present. The church was originally constructed at the present site in 196t<. They placed their present 40 x 40 structure about 300' from their property line on Broadway and about 30' from their property line on Woodlawn. Since 1963, the Zoning Ordinance was created, resulting in the structure being a non-con­ forming use, since the minimum side yard requirement for a church now is 40’ from the property line. It was allowed to remain as constructed because it was built long before the zoning ordinance became effective. The proposed addition would be on the east side of the present 40 x 40 structure and would result in the total structure being 40' along Broadway and 92’ along Woodlawn. The new addition will double the present space and provide extra room for a choir room and an additional office. After reviewing the plans, ZBA member David Jasperse said, “I don't see any problem," in granting the variance. “It’s not a variance, as such/'said Michael Payne, Assessor Gertrude Matthews Honored and Building Inspector, “it would merely be an extension of a non-conform­ ing use." he said. It was then moved by David Jasperse and supported by Max Myers that the variance be granted under Section 3.55 of the Zoning Ordinance, Extension or Enlargements, subsection if 4, which reads, “The Board of Appeals determines that such enlargement will not further reduce the value, livability or function of an existing or potential conforming use of adjacent property." The cost of the new addition is estimated at about $20,000.00 by Clarence Hause, builder and chairman of the church's building committee. request from th« First Church ef Ged, for a X 52 addition to their "Wl ■« Xu >ton, DnH Jn*irw, Taa i -I || -■ Bwr* Ckalnuu Juk Echtiaaw, as* aaa-rattat Public Notices NOTICE OF MORTGAGE BALE Default having b**t> mad* la th* rendition* of that certain martgag* dated Jana 25, 1971. executed by MYLES FISHER and PATRICIA FISHER, a* hi* wife and in b«r own right, a* Mortgagor*, to Th* F*d*r*l Land BaMk at Saint Paul, a corporation. al St. Paul.

Athletic Amusements Wins Districts Athletic Amusements’ Women's Softball Team won their Class “B" Districts at Delta Waverly August 16 and earned the right to play in the Class MB” State finals in Midland, Labor Day weekend. They currently have a record of 42-7 for this .season. Saturday, August 15, the girls knocked off John Hunoek Imutuko, M In 10 innings and Advanced Fire Protection 4-1. Then on Sunday they defeated Vandervoorta 8-1. In other Sunday's action they cropped a tough 1-0 game in a rematch with Advanced Fire Protection 1-0. The only run of the game was scored in the the bottonl of t|le „VMlh inning. Athletic Amusements came back to defeat Advanced Fire Protection 3-2 in the final game to take the Districts. Judy Anderson hurled the team to all four district wins. On behalf of the Middle­ ville Boosters, Jim Verlinde reported at the special Thornapple-Kellogg School Board meeting Monday, August 17, that their $25,000.00 goal has been reached fo; funding fall sports. In an interview with Verlinde, he said the goal had been reached only in theory, however, since only $4,000.00 of the $25,000.00 was in cash. The balance is in promissor> notes. The difference of some $21,000.00 has to be raised by December 1, to cover costs of the fall sports program, and to avoid call­ ing in the promissory notes. An additional $30,000.00 is needed for winter and springs sports. Boosters wfll start raising that amount starting in December sometime. Verlinde said the most important matter now is to raise the needed $21,000.00. Several fund raisers are scheduled, with the first one, called Do Da Day, on Saturday, September 5. Blanche Munjoy is in charge of Do Da Day activities, which begins with a pancake breakfast in downtown Middleville. A Do Da Parade will be held at 12:39 p.m. Those attending can expect the unexpected in the parade. The idea came from an episode on the "Real People" television show when people in a town that originally held a Do Do Parade were interviewed. Money is raised for charging a fee for parade entries. Entries are to dress, ride in. ride on, push or pull in the zaniest and off beat costume or vehicle. Following the parade, festivities begin at Spring Park with a slow pitch tourney which will start at 3:30 p.m., with the WCUZ team taking on the Middle Villa team. A home run contest will follow. Food concessions, booths, and a dunk tank manned by teachers and coaches are features of the afternoon. The Freeport Boosters will be selling front license plates, with proceeds going to the Middleville Boosters. recent eompeuuon ■t Weetera MleHfu epoeiored by J,*"**"f-® teooons County’s Cemmuni Concluding the day a street dance is planned in the High School parking lot. Plans have not yet been finalized, but the dance is expected to begin between 7:30 and 8:00 p.m. One expert describes the burro as "500 pounds of free enterprise."

Zoning Ordinance Changes Discussed Proposed zoning ordinance changes were the main topics of discussion at the Hastings City Council meeting on August 24. Councilman William Cusack read Ordinance changes requested by the Planning Commission. The first ordinance would establish 20 days as the length of time to be given to apply to a court of record in regard to a demolition notice. Accessory building height and area regulations were the subjects of the other two ordinance changes. This would permit the building to be 14 foot in height rather than the present 10 foot limit. A public hearing is to be held on September 28, 1981, for public comment on the ordinances changes. Council member Frank Campbell felt that the ordinance changes "didn’t go tar enough." He suggested the changes should allow people to keep their recreation vehicles in their side yard. He stated that many in Hastings are in violation of the existing ordinance which says, vehicles must be kept in back of homes. He added that the council should “get this problem straightened out.” In other action, Council gave approval to the Hastings Saxon Athletic Boosters to sell refreshments at the softball tournament at the Fish Hatchery Park during Summerfest, August 28-30. Council approved the payment of bills to: Hamlin Products $1,551.15; ReithRiley Construction Company $11,997.00; Douglas Corporation $1,345.00; Marblehead Lime $1,536.71 and Pittsburgh Tank $15,120.00.

Politicians and would-be officeholders are among a best sources of such laughs. Witness the gaff rpatuated by now-President Reagan, when he was vemor of California. He was heard to comment that licanos were best suited for the stoop labor of :king vegetables, as they were built closer to the Closer to home, Ron Roisterer, who is seeking to nseat Don Gilmer as state representative this year, erhaps failed to perceive the irony in his own remarks tade in Hastings last week. Reiste*er gave an impassioned plea for morality, Hacking all manner of unwholesome acts, which he lid at the feet of pornography in a permissive society, le spoke out in favor of freedom, but only if it k. not unrestricted freedom." Not unrestricted freedom? Did we hear right? And ray tell, what is restricted freedom? But the crowning blow came with his concluding quote from Benjamin Franklin. The quote was fine, but the idea of using Franklin to back up your plea for morality is more than a bit ludicrous. Franklin, as we recall, was anything but straight-laced in his younger days. Today, he might be considered a swinger. Some of Franklin's best days were when he was minister to France, where 'tis said he rather freely enjoyed the pleasures offered to him by the ladies of Paris. If you’re going to quote, Ron, at least try to use someone who agrees with you. Maybe at the age of 81. Franklin was a moralist. But earlier life didn't indicate it. Will public officials ever get the word that they are servants of the public. The Hastings Public Library board, in its less-than-infinite wisdom, tried to take an action in an illegal manner this week. When quizzed by The Banner, they quickly called a meeting for today (Wednesday) to do it right. The board took a telephone vote-at the prodding of Head Librarian Eileen Oehler-to authorize her to close Thursdays, in an effort to save money. We doubt if enough money will be saved by that action to be significant, but that's a topic for another column. The point is that taking a telephone vote is not legally permitted under the state's Open Meeting law. Any action by a public body must be taken in a public meeting to be valid. There are very few exceptions, and this certainly is not one of them. Since a telephone poll is not a public meeting (how can the public attend it?) such a vote is not legal. The Banner was told that a formal vote would be taken at the board meeting of Sept. 30 to approve the Thursday closing. Then a few hours later, the Banner was told that a special meeting had been set for this week, to take the action before Sept. 1, when the new hours are set to go into effect. So on the third try, because your newspaper was checking, the library officials decided to do it the right and legal way. Better late than never. IN PERSPECTIVE Difference of Opinion on Model Mobile Home Ordinance SAVE CASH ...And don’t miss an issue By MARY LOU GRAY The February Michigan Supreme Court ruling (Robinson Township vs. Knoll), stating that mobile homes could not be excluded from single family areas simply bn the basic that they are transportable and premanufactured, spurred the need for new local mobile home ordinances. The court, in its ruling, did allow leeway for aesthetic compatibility and standards regarding construction and placement. Many townships utilized ordinances that confined manufactured homes to mobile home parks. Likewise, townships were looking for guidelines and/or a model for writing a new ordinance. The Mobie Home Commission made known proposed guidelines for municipal­ ities. Subsequently, Michigan Township Association published its own proposed ordinance and submitted it to the Mobile Home Commission. The Mobile Home Commission turned down the MTA ordinance because they said they had concerns on three of the stated requirements. MTA took exception to the Commission proposed ordinance, stating it didn't include enough provision to be sufficient for most townships. The ordinance didn't make reference to minimum size, storage space, doors, windowsills or overhangs. MTA further felt that the ordinance was not a good model because it was written for certain localities and included information not useful to other townships. About 200 elected officials, planning and zoning administrators and attorneys attended a public hearing to discuss the model ordinance. Many views were expressed and discussed, from size limitations, foundation specifications, additions, age of mobile homes, compliance to the BOCA and compatibility. The basic approach used in drafting the newest of the model ortfinar.ces is the suggestion in the Supreme Court decision that reasonable restrictions may be placed on the use of mobile homes as dwellings, dealing with such questions as aesthetic compatibility with surrounding architecture, square footage, sewer facilities and other area regulations. Tentative new guidelines have been drafted into yet another revised ordinance. Although the Michigan Township Association has received assurance from the Mobile Home Commission that the Association's revised ordinance is "very close" to being approved by the Mobile Home Commission, the Mobile Home Commission doesn’t meet again until next month. This will be the first opportunity for the Mobile Home Commission to either formally accept or reject this most recent revision.

The beautiful Stowell Woods on Wellman Road north of Jordan Road was the scene of a large and Happy gathering Saturday afternoon when many of the relatives and friends of the couple gathered there io witness the marriage of Miss Brenda Casarez, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Casarez of Woodland Road and Bryce Turner. The grove had been carefully cleaned, chairs were brought in to seat the host of guests, and the weather was ideal (or the occasion. The usual structure had been erected for the couple to stand beneath when the Rev. Brian Wickes read the marriage vows. The feminine members of the wedding party were dressed in blue and carried while parasols. The little girls were dressed the same (and carried smaller parasols). The beautiful, tall, straight trees and the greenery of the brush that grows dong the edge of the Little Thornapple River that flows through the plot of ground, made an ideal background for the scene as the rather large wedding party took their respective places. It was unusual and impressive in every way. A reception for the newlyweds was held following the ceremony at the V.F.W. Hall in Sheridan. We join the rest of the neighbors and friends of the new Mr. and Mrs. Turner in wishing for them a long and happy life together.

August 18th. Approximately 180 friends and relatives gathered at the deMink farm to help them celebrate and to watch the balloon lift off. The weather was perfect, not a cloud in the sky. The b&ijoon gracefully lifted off and floated lazily across the horizon. “What a way to celebrate,” grinned deMink as the couple landed about an hour later in a field on 24th Street. ”Yes life still has a lot of joys." “It was really a beautiful ride,” said Peg. “It’s so peaceful up there and the world is really beautiful from up above." “I wanted to give my wife a real high on our anniversary," says deMink. "I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate.” The balloon ride is part of a service of che Kalamazoo Balloon Center which takes people up for rides. Before the balloon lifted off the couple received a bottle of champaign hand delivered by a large ape. The ape presented the couple with the champaign, sang them a little song and posed for pictures. The deMinks were married in the Presbyterian Church in Kalamazoo, August 18,1956. They have lived at Still Meadow Farms on Hallock Road for about 14 years. Mrs. DeMink was born in Ontario Canada and Mr. deMink is a native of the Kalamazoo area. A man of many talents and interests deMink was one of the originators of the downtown Kalamazoo Mall and received “The Young Man of the Year” award for his work on the mall.

Free and Reduced Price Meals Policy Barry County Red Cross Disaster Services held the first of two three hour sessions on Monday, August 17, at the Hastings Fire House. The training consisted of Local Organization and Team assignments conducted by Homer Rai rm, Disaster Chairman and Denis Munson, Chapter Chairman. Red Cross Nursing Disaster Care was conducted by Elie Van Harn, State Nursing Chairman (Michigan Red Cross). Shelter Manager and Crisis Preparation was conducted by Ron Cook, Disaster Volunteer Chairman. “What To Expect” talk was given by Sue Devore, National Red Cross representative for Western Michigan. Individual community Disaster Teams were formed for Middleville, Delton and Freeport. Hastings has had a trained team since early April of this year. The teams are as follows: Delton: Carol Ellard, Ken Kenyon, and David Hale. Freeport: Barbara Drewell, Tom Drewell, Elizabeth Scheerens, Dan Scheerens and Don Drewell. Middleville: Anne Lytle, Virgin Sharp, Nellie Mann, Mary Atkinson, Virginia Benedict, Calinda Munson, Susanne Short, Homer Baum, Denis Munson, Helen Barber and Rene Stockham. Red Cross hopes services are never needed, but a disaster team is required in all Red Cross Chapters since the Red Cross is mandated by the U.S. Government to provide shelter and provide immediate assistance case­ workers for immediate recovery teams. Another session will be held on Monday, September 28, rounding out the course requirements. Within 30 days after this last session, a Mock Disaster will be ordered by the National Red Cross. There will be a shelter set up and care will be provided as required no warning. It could be at any Lime of the day or night. It is needed so short comings can be determined and to acquire more familiarization with the sheltering. Anyone interested in disaster training is asked to contact the Red Cross at 945-3122.

Lunch Prices Going Up School lunch prices in the Hastings schools are expected to go up 10 cents when classes begin week after next. The school board will be asked Monday to raise the prices, to compensate for the decrease in federal funding for school lunch programs. The federal subsidy for student-paid lunches is being cut by 5’4 cents, reduced-price lunches by 20 3/4 amts, and free '.unches by 3/4 cent, according to Bob Miller, administrative assistant (non-instruction). The federal milk reimbursement has been eliminated completely. Because of the cut in federal assistance. Miller has recommended the following prices for student lunches this year; Type A lunch 90 cents; reduced price lunch, 40 cents, and milk 20 cents. The board is expected to approve the increase, which Miller said is concurred with by the board president and finance chairman.

Hastings. Michigan By MARY LOU GRAY A meeting prompted by anger, frustration, apprehension and-fear of the unknown on the part of partents of children attend­ ing the now closed Altoft Schoo), ended in a consensus of quiet resnive to “roll with the punches" Wednesday, August 26. Parents of trainable mentally impaired children objected to the closing of the somewhat isolated 3 room Altoft school and the transfer of the special-ed children to an integrated, mainstreaming situation of students at Delton. Children are being transported as of this Monday morning, to the Delton school. A large oneroom classroom, divided in two by a partition, has been provided for the children^ In July, parents filed a formal complaint with the State of Michigan Department of Education, through their attorney, Mary E. Delehanty of Kalamazoo. Parents object­ ed on the grounds that the change is disadvantageous to the welfare of their child­ ren. At Altoft, there was a 3-room facility with play­ ground and workshop. The playground was specially geared toward the unique needs of the children. Al Delton, all 18 children in the program, ranging in age from 2 to 23, will be in one room, divided by a partition. Parents further objected because the asphalt play­ ground facilities at Delton could create a danger for some students whose physical skills are limited. Parents objected to the Delton site because most of the children in the program are from the Hastings area, type A, protected site.

In a special-ed setting, children are taught with others at lhe same level of achievement. But main­ streaming calls for children being placed with ageappropriate peers.

Th' Board unanimously voted to increase the rale for non-resident borrowers’ card fees from $5 per year to $10 for a family card. The non-resident fee applies to persons who wish to borrow books, who are not residents of the City of Hastings, Hastings Town­ ship or Rutland Township.

The segregated setting is “old school thinking," she said. “Il’s not wrong, but is an exclusionary program. In essence," she continued, “the law says our kids will be as normal as possible." Mrs. Swegles, who has worked in special education for 17 years, said she was "amazed at how beautiful he room (in Delton) is. It’s better lhan I thought it could be," she said. She said here were a lol of payoffs in mainstreaming, not only for the special-ed kids, but also for normal children. Normal children will see problems other kids have and possibly new relationships can be built. “We've got to learn to live together. Thai’s part of life,” said Mrs. Swegles. The whole thrust in human development is keeping people normal, she said. If we can’t somehow help the normal to see that everyone has a place in society, not segregated or pushed aside, we’ll have big problems. “It's not easy to make a change," said Mrs. Swegles, “the old way is always more comfortable,” she said. Parents were upset because when they toured the.classrom earlier in the day, it wasn’t ready for students. "School starts Monday, August 31,” said Mrs. Cichy, “and we've asked for a mock-up of the classroom all summer." "It’s just a bureaucratic run­ around,” said Smith. “It should be done in a planning forum," said Mrs. Swegles, who suggested that Hund have meetings with parents to resolve the details. “The program can fall flat if parents don't support it," she said. "Our questions have only been vaguely answered," complained Mrs. Cichy. We don't feel secure." Communication wai —id to be a problem. Parents didn't know for weeks that physical education, such as horseback riding, discontinued. “How much effort would it be to just drop a note in the child's lunch box, to inform parents what is happening:" asked Mrs. Fisk. Mrs. Kuhlman expressed concerns that the workshop at Delton would be in the same area with small children. "Sandpaper dust will drift into the crib area. Some children have allergies, and rerperitory problems," she said. Hund said he was a "strong proponent” with vocational educailon, but “we may not get into it," at the Delton site. Lack of sufficien t academic skills in a major problem finding employment for these children. They may be involved in vocational activities, he said, but it may not be on machinery. Hund further responded that the “underlying goal is for all people to be treated qually and to be educated in the least restrictive environment." He said playground equip­ ment would be relocated at tne Delton site. He further stated that nc child would be mainstreamed without prior approval of the teacher and the parent. The bus route has been re-worked and children should not expect to ride any longer than when they rode to the Hastings facility. Hund assured the parents the classroom would be ready by the first day of school. Mrs. Swegles supported Hund's position regarding vocational training, staling, “kids are more able to de vocational tasks if they are in a competitive setting." She favors pushing them as much as possible to be as normal as possible. “To the extent that they can be, we must make them be normal," she said. Hund reaffirmed that students should have the opportunity to go as far as they can and be trained to compete in the job market. Hund explained that swimming, horseback riding, and special Olympics were discontinued when the state cut fun dingfor extra trip mileage. The state ruled they would pay mileage only to and from the classroom. Subsequently, extra curricular activities had to be discontinued. "Those programs could be provided again," said Hund, “if you (parents) find a way to pay for transportaiton." Mrs. Cichy asked what criteria would be used to judge the success or failure of the Delton site. Hund responded that he plans to make a study approximately every six months, including an interview with the staff, children and parents. He will be looking for the program's effect on the child, judging the child's cognitive function, the social aspect and whether there has been a change in child's personality. “Above all, the program must be a success­ ful experience for the child," said Hund. Hund then responded to parents' complaint that the Delton, site is not barrier free. He emphasized that while Delton may not be barrier free, the handicap ramp and barrier free bath­ room have always been in the plan. Other changes lake time," he said. Following the lengthy meeting, parents indicated they were willing io take a “wail and see” approach, monilering their children's experience at the new facility. Hund indicated there would be an effort made to improve the communications between administration/teachers and parents. School begins this Monday, Aug. 31, at the Delton site for 18 students between the age of 2 and 23.

Fraud Uncovered in 3 States Months of investigation by two investigators with the Inspector General's office of the Department of Social Services yielded four arrests, with one individual still being sought. The five, originally from Chicago, were active in Michigan, Indiana and Illinois, engaged in defrauding governmental agencies in welfare. ADC benefits and food stamps. They fradulently obtained about $10,060.00 in Michigan. Michigan's investigation began in November, 1980, by the Department of Social Services office in Allegan County. Raymond Coger and John Hedgecock worked the area from Newaygo to the south Slate line, and as far east as Branch County. Three were arrested and pled guilty in Barry County and are now serving lime in Barry County Jail. One was not prosecuted. The fifth subject attempted to defraud in Calhoun, Van Buren and Branch Counties. She failed to appear for a court date and is now De Camp Named to wanted on a bench warrant by the Branch County Sheriffs Department. The group defrauded various agencies in 11 counties, filing some 30 ficticious cases. The fraud originally came to light when an applicaiton was made in two different counties, using the same social security number. The computer rejected the application, bringing the matter to the attention of social services employees, who then called in the investigative staff.

"It puts the public on notice that we've got troubles." That was the conclusion of Clifford Dolan, president of the Hastings Library Board, in urging the approval of Monday closing for the library. The Hastings library has long been known for poor management, illogical pol­ icies and poor public relations. Many are the tales we've heard for the past several years about poor service, rudeness, students feeling unwelcome, etc. Certainly part of the library's problems, and general lack of public support can be traced to this often-cited attitude. • • • Case in point: A couple years ago, a children's book, borrowed from the library, was scribbled in by a younger child. The mother took it back, offered to make resti­ tution, and was charged the cost of the book. She then asked for the book itself, since she had paid for it. The librarian refused to give it to her, saying it was against library policy! So she paid for the book, in effect, she got nothing. This is a logical policy? In fact, we’d like to know what the library’s policies are. To our knowledge, they have not been compiled and made available to library patrons. For all we know, they exist only in the librarian's head, and may change with her mood. • • • SAVE CASH ...And don’t miss an issue Case in point: The Library Board, a while back, was considering a grandiose addition to the library building, which would have cost around half a million dollars, and taken away the library parking lot. The Banner heard about it, and showed up at a meeting where the architect was to show the plans. Board President Dolan, because he did not want the public to know of the plans, tried to close the meeting. That failed, and he then tried to caned it. Finally, he gave up, the meeting was held and reported, and the public informed of the plans. The backlash was was so strong, that the plans were quietly put aside and have been given little consideration since. This is public relations? Footnote: Although the head librarian was crying for room, the basement of the library is little-used. Books and periodicals are kept stacked on the floor down there, with little access by the public, while the space goes to waste. A few hundred dollars worth of lights and paint would nearly double the usable space in the library. I Case in point: Twice in the past few years, staff members have been given their termination notices-then left to watch over the library while the Head Librarian was gone for several days! The idea of firing an employee, then handing over complete re­ sponsibility to that employee, is hard to believe. Fortunately, in each case the short-time employee apparently was re­ sponsible, and no unfavorable incidents occurred, to our knowledge. But this is incredibly poor management. The last employee to be let go, we understand, was the only one on the staff who knew how to catalog books. So when new books come in, they cannot be put on the shelves for public use, because they are not cataloged. We wonder how many books are sitting in that library basement, unusable because they have not been cataloged? Now, the library needs to save funds­ like most other publicly-supported agendas. Shorter hours will help, we suppose. But then, we're told that the full-time staff wM be working on the day when the building is closed to the public, and presumably the salaries of the full-time staff wil not be cut. * What is a library for? To provide a work­ place for the staff and exdude the public? Why does the library exist, if not to serve the public? What could be more important than remaining open, especially if Monday is a busy day, as the Head Librarian has stated? Obviously, the library's priorities are topsy-turvy. Open the building to the public f*rst. Get as much use out of it as possible. Then use the good public support to generate the funds needed to stay open. Or conversely, if the board is going to cut the hours the library is open, to save money, then shorten the hours of those who work there, and cut their salaries proportionately. It just doesn't make sense to dose the library a day a week, and pay the employees to keep on working. It's long overdue for the citv council to give a long look at how the public library is operated, and insist that it be given real management. It's evident that the library board, historically, has not seen to it that the library is run efficiently, and for * the real benefit of the public. Library Board Prisident Dolan is fond of pointing out that the library board is autono­ mous, and not controlled by the city council or anyone else. But ultimately, the library is a public agency, existing primarily on our tax dollars. Its members are appointed by the mayor and council, and most of its funds come from the city. In view of the library's problems, now admitted by Dolan himself, the counci has the duty to thoroughly find out what's wrong and why, and bring pressure to correct those problems. MICHIGAN MIRROR Intervenors Now Allowed SUBSCRIBE In Utility Rate Cases to the By Warren M. Hoyt Policy Adopted to Allow Intervenors in Interim Rate Cases. The Public Service Commission (PSC) has adopted a new policy to allow consumer groups and others to oppose utility com­ panies who ask for interim rate increases. The plan, however, was opposed by Commissioner Edwyna Anderson on grounds, she said, that it makes it easier for utilities to get interim rate hikes. The policy was adopted following an Ingham County Circuit Court order that intervenors in interim rate cases be permitted to challenge any request.

The policy will only be in existence until a definitive ruling from the Court of Appeals is issued, according to chairman Daniel Dem low. Anderson, the only Democrat on the three-member commission, said changes made by the majority in the requirements that a utility must show before getting interim relief means "participation (by con­ sumer groups) may be meaningless if all a company is required to show is an immediate revenue deficiency to justify interim relief." Previously, she said, a utility had to show that at least one of four things had happened before gening an rterim rate hike. These include difficulty in borrowing money, a sudden revenue loss, the potential for unreasonable and harmful revenue loss, or irreparable harm. Anderson also complained that the new rule was "arbitrary action rapidly pushed through by the majority in anticipation of Chairman Demlow's imminent departure from the commission." « I I I | S Barry County $10.00 jg Adjoining Counties 012.00 (Kent.

Prison Sentence Review to be Con­ ducted. A special committee of judges, attor­ neys and prison officials will begin work in early September to develop recommenda­ tions for the Supreme Court regarding appullate court review of sentences handed down by trial judges. The state's highest court appointed Court of Appeals Judge Daniel Walsh to head the 15-member committee, which is another phase of the court’s sentencing project. It has already received recommendations from another special panel regarding guide­ lines for judges to use in determining sentence severity. « • ■ • • Walsh said the main impetus for both sentence review and sentence guidelines is the disparity of sentencing from court to court and in various areas of the state. Currently, he said, an appellate court may order resentencing where the punish­ ment is adjudged to be "cruel and unusual” as well as in some other limited circum­ stances, but he added a sentence review pro­ cedure could "make it easier to adjust a sentence that does not measure up to the constitutional standard of cruel and unusual." In appointing the committee, the high court said it wants recommendations on whether the concept should be pursued; the form of the review procedure; whether the review of sentences would be done by panels of trial judges, appellate judges or some other group; whether the prosecution, as well as the defendant, could seek review of a sentence; whether the reviewing body could increase as well as decrease a sentence; and what the criteria would be for review. Walsh said he hoped final recommen­ dations could be developed within six months.

Cy Trainer Hastings To the Editor: Recently, I hosted a Koffee al my home for upcoming political candidate, Ron Lee Reislere He will oppose Don Gilmer in the Republican Primary for Stale Representative in 1982. My reason for holding the Koffee was threefold. First, I wanted to introduce Ron to a few friends. I had heard he was a credible contender for Don Gilmer in ’82 with similar outlooks on abortion, family life, education and taxation as mine, Ron seemed tc espouse the main planks of the 1980 Republican platform. I felt that Don Gilmer hadn’t been filling that bill and a fresh outlook was needed. Second, most expecially, because those present were pro-lifers, we wanted Ron to clarify his views on abortion. And third, we wanted a closed forum to give him a chance to air his views on many other topics. This is the unique and practical side of hi^me political koffees. If the contender is acceptable, this gives him a chance to gain admirers, followers, and helpers for his primary campaign. Those who attended were not disappointed. Ron Reislerer is a man of character, deep thought and devotion. It took the group only a few minutes to pick up these qualities. Ron *, stand up for the unborn, -ights of the family, roving the quality of education (he is a Junior High teacher) just eaxen and making Michigan more desirable for job opportunities, only to mention a few of the topics covered. Most particularly, for our group, we found that Ron dislikes abortion. He said, MI believe that human life is our nation’s greatest natural resource Reserving of the same protections afforded to wildlife, land and water. Since I feel this way I reject the 1973 Supreme Court decision, (which claims that a fetus is not a human being) as a willful pervers ion of one of the principles our great nation was founded upon, namely. The principle of the dignity of human life!" Reisterer mentioned tax credits for adoption as a deterrent against abortion. He said, “When I am elected to the Stale House of Representatives, I will foster policies which will recognize the dignity of human life and family!” Reislerer is not new to politics but has been work­ ing in various political campaigns for over ten years now, including his future contender's - Don Gilmer’s last campaign. He is knowledgeable in the many facets of state government. Mary C. Sonsmith Opportunities for Older Workers An “Older Worker's Program" is available through the Mid Counties Employment and Training Consortium, as announced by John M.

"It puts the public on notice that we've got troubles." That was the conclusion of Clifford Dolan, president of the Hastings Library Board, in urging the approval of Monday closing for the library. The Hastings library has long been known for poor management, illogical pol­ icies and poor public relations. Many are the tales we’ve heard for the past several years about poor service, rudeness, students feeling unwelcome, etc. Certainly part of the library's problems, and general lack of public support can be traced to this often-cited attitude. Case in point: A couple years ago, e children's book, borrowed from the library, was scribbled in by a younger child. The mother took it back, offered to make resti­ tution, and was charged the cost of the book. She then asked for the book itself, since she had paid for it. The librarian refused to give it to her, saying it was against library policy! So she paid for the book, in effect, she got nothing. This is a logical policy? In fact, we'd like to know what the library's policies are. To our knowledge, they have not been compiled and made available to library patrons. For all we know, they exist only in the librarian's head, and may change with her mood. SAVE CASH And don’t miss an issue Case in point: The Library Board, a while back, was considering a grandiose addition to the library building, which would have cost around half a million dollars, and taken away the library parking lot. The Banner heard about it, and showed up at a meeting where the architect was to show the plans. Board President Dolan, because he did not , want the public to know of the plans, tried to close the meeting. That failed, and he then tried to cancel it. Finally, he gave up, the meeting was held and reported, and the public informed of the plans. The backlash was was so strong, that , the plans were quietly put aside and have been given little consideration' since. This is public relations? Footnote: Although the head librarian was crying for room, the basement of the library is little-used. Books and periodicals are kept stacked on the floor down there, with little access by the public, while the space goes to waste. A few hundred dollars worth of lights and paint would nearly double the usable space in the library. Case in point: Twice in the past few years, staff members have been given their termination notices-then left to watch over the library while the Head Librarian was gone for several daysl The idea of firing an employee, then handing over complete re­ sponsibility to that employee, is hard to believe. Fortunately, in each case the short-time employee apparently was re­ sponsible, and no unfavorable incidents occurred, to our knowledge. But this is incredibly poor management. The last employee to be let go, we understand, was the only one on the staff who knew how to catalog books. So when new books come in, they cannot be put on the shelves for public use, because they are not cataloged. We wonder how many books are sitting in that library basement, unusable t ‘-cause they have not been cataloged? Now, the library needs to save funds­ like most other publicly-supported agencies. Shorter hours will help, we suppose. But then, we're told that the full-time staff will be working on the day when the building is closqd to the public, and presumably the salaries of the full-time staff will not be cut. What is a library for? To provide a work­ place for the staff and exclude the public? Why does the library exist, if not to serve the public? What could be more important than remaining open, especially if Monday is a busy day, as the Head Librarian has stated? Obviously, the library's priorities are topsy-turvy. Open the building to the public first. Get as much use out of it as possible. Then use the good public support to generate the funds needed to stay open. Or conversely, if the board is going to cut the hours the library is open, to save money, then shorten the hours of those who work there, and cut their salaries proportionately. h just doesn't make sense to dose the library a day a week, and pay the employees ‘to keep on working.

The four staff members released from their teaching contracts were Dawn Farley and Carol Zylman, both of whom are moving out of Hastings, Wayne Brown, who has entered private business, and Timothy Purkey, who has accepted a position in another school district. Mrs. Farley was the high school librarian, Mrs. Zylman taught at Central Elementary Schoo), Purkey taught at Northeastern School, and Brown was a secondard social studies teacher and basketball coach. Purkey will become principal in the Allegan school system. School lunch prices were raised 10 cents for the full price Type A lunch to 90 cents; 20 cents for the reduced price lunch to 40 cents, and 20’'t cents for a half pint of milk, up a dine. The lunch price increase, the board was told, is due to a reduction on fedentl lunch and milk subsidies. ■ The Al toft School has been used in recent years by the Barry Intermediate School District for special education. That program has been moved to Delton this fall. The board voted to take bids on the building, which has been appraised accord­ ing to its use at $32,000. Muscular Dystrophy Drive Labor Day Would you like to help? Christopher Rueh 1981 State Poster child, is 4 years old and has Muscular Dystrophy. He is confined to a wheelchair and cannot walk but attends pre-school. Chris loves to sing and tell jokes and has interest in outer space, space travel, micro-computers and he loves animals. Christi Bartlette is MDA's National Posterchild for 1981. She is 6 yrs old. and lives in Shreveport Louisiana. Christi has polymyosities, one of the 40 neuromuscular disorders covered by MDA's research and patient care programs. When she's not winning new friends in the fight against muscular dystrophy, Christi likes to draw, color and play with her favorite stuffed animals. Would you like to help? The Hastings Jaycees and Jaycetts are sponsoring a “radio remote” for MDA in front of WBCH on Labor Day, Sept. 7 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. There will be a wishing well and many activities in which your family can participate. Fun events going on all day include a dunking tank, free candy for kids and free MDA T-shirts to the first 50 people who donate $10.00 or more to our wishing well. For children 6 years old and younger a Hot Wheel Powder Puff or Kawasaki will be donated by Dawn and Ken Long of Gambles. For your child to win, they must be at the Muscular Dystrophy drive site at 2:30 p.m. A contest racing around pilons against the clock will be held until 3:30 p.m. the child who finishes with the best time will receive a Hot Wheel racer. From 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. Linda’s Accordian Band will be playing music at the drive site. Linda Hummel along with her 8 band members have played at the Battle Creek tek^hon for the past 6 yrs. They have also played at Summerfest and through­ out the Barry County area. So come on down and enjoy the music while donating to Jerry’s kids. To round out the day a record auction will be held at 4 p.m. Over 100 popular records are going to be auctioned off with proceeds going to MDA. This is a School officials note, however, that the building would cost far more than that to duplicate in new construction. In other business, the board gave official approval to the new "pay-for-play" athletic funding system. Each participant in school athletics will be charged $30 per sport. The school will try to arrange jobs to help needy youngsters earn the fee they need to play. Ticket prices are also being raised $1.00 for boys varsity basketball and foot­ ball. Officials hope to raise $30,000 from gz.e receipts, $15,000 from student fees and $20,000 from the Hastings Banner Devoted to the Interests of Berry County Since 1858 Vol. 126.

The board approved the millage levels for this year, which are 3.4 mills for debt service and 26.51 mills for school operations. The board also voted to borrow $875,000 for 147 days from City Bank to seep the schools running until properly taxes start coming in. The board approved a resolution allowing officials to exclude any student who has not received proper immunization shots. This will not apply to some students who do not get shots for religious reasons. Superintendent Richard Guenther said that probably fewer than a dozen students a year are not given required shots by their parents and would be forced to comply within 30 days. The board set an executive session following itb regular meeting on Sept. 14, to discuss negotiations. Larry Haywood stauds in the Row Crop Tour Tuesday, Sept. 1. The Haywood location was one excellent chance for teenagers to pick up records at a low price while donating to Jerry’s kids. Fifty of the records are donated by WBCH, who will broadcast the telethon. Pledge phones will be maned at the fire barn for those unable to attend. Many cannisters are placed throughout the community, ready to accept donations now. The Hastings Jayettes and Jaycees would appreciate participation of Barry County residents. Algonquin Residents Row Crop Tour Seven locations through­ out the county were among those visited in the Barry County Row Crop Tour yesterday. The first stop was the Jim Habegger farm where the subject of the tour was soybean varieties and irrigated narrow row soybeans. The Frank Brown farm near Middleville provided an opportunity to view conventional and no-till corn on wheat stubble and soil erosion with different tillage practices. Double cropping winter barley and irrigated soybeans on the Larry Haywood Farm was the subject of the next tour. Haywood said he already harvested the barley, then planted soybeans late. Irrigation is essential to get the crop to grow. Haywood said he hopes for a late frost, so harvest of the soybeans is possible. “Double cropping like this hasn’t been done this far north,” said Haywood. They double crop with wheat and oats in Indiana. Haywood chose barley for the first crop because barley harvests earlier than wheat and oats. “Il’s still a gamble,” he said. Following lunch, the tour continued to the Doug MacKenzie farm near Wood­ land to view his MSU sulfur research plots on soybeans. Secondary nutrients and micronutrients for field crops were also discussed. The Nelson Rasey farm north of Nashville provided an opportunity to tour con­ ventional and no-till com on wheat stubble. Conventional and no-til) narrow row soybeans, nematodes and no till com was toured at the Bill Fox farm east of Vermontville. The tour concluded on the Paul Wing farm south of Assyria where the tour included conventional and no-till com on bean stubble and alfalfasod, minimum tillage com on com stalks ****''• no-til) and the ASCS program and soil erosion with different tillage practices. his irrigation (« Toesday, during the Row Crap Toor when his soybean field was toured. He first plaited winter barley. After the harvest he plaited soybeans. Irrigation is essential to bring the soybeans to maturity before the frost. Vcte for Draw-down Chemical Control 'One of “the largest crowds in memory turned out Mon­ day, August 31, when 186 Algonquin Lake residents turned out at the Y-Camp and voted for two methods of weed control. The draw-down passed with 131 in favor and 72 against: chemical weed control passed with 183 in favor and 11 against. Absentee ballots were also included in these totals. Both means of weed control were passed for more effect­ ive control. Warren Craft, President of the Algonquin Lake Community Association, told The Banner that permits for each have already been requested from the Department of Natural Resources. No opposition is anticipated. The draw-down is expect­ ed to begin November 28, and should be completed about December 18. A deep kill of some weeds is expect­ ed during the draw-down period. Some weeds are not affected by frost, and it is anticipated that the chemical treatment will take care of those. The lake will begin to refill about March 20, and should be full about May 15. A professional licensed chemical weed control service will.be employed to apply the chemical treatment the end of May or the first part of June. Application must be made at precisely the right time, depending on the weed growth. After application of weed control, no activity on the lake is permitted for. 14 days. Craft said that would restrict all fishing, boating, swimming and use of water for lawns. According to Craft, the lake covers about 240 acres. Chemical treatment will be from the shore to about 100' from the shoreline, which entails treatment of about 60 acres. The cost is expected to be about $8,000.00. Chemical treatment is expected to kill weeds not anected by the draw-down. Craft said residents should realize that weed control is only a temporary measure. The only way to permanently control weeds is to stop the nutrients from coming into the lake. Algonquin is fed by a tube that runs from Carter Lake which connects to Middle and Leach Lakes. They all contribute nutrients, accord­ ing to Craft. In addition, a tube runs into Algonquin Lake by the Y-Camp that drains about 37 miles of water shed into Algonquin. This adds fertilizer run-off from farmers fields, and other pollutants. Price 20e Larry Baywood potato uut the soybeans growing cn 14 where Haywood doable cropped.

After a potluck dinner, Keith Louden of the Department of Natural Resources, of Allegan, showed slides and talked about the devestating fire in the Manistee National Forest in Mio, Mi., in 1980. The fire was purposely set, according to Louden, to improve the habitat for the Kirkland Warbler, since there are only 80 or 90 pair of warblers in the world. Louden then told how the fire got out of control, burning thousands of acres, due to ill advised burning conditions. The wind came up. temperatures went up, humidity went down ahd the fire simply exploded, result­ ing in thousands of acres being devistated, said Louden.

Martin Taylor, director.of the Michigan Employment Security Commission. Taylor said that the number of jobless Michigan workers last month rose to 530,000, an increase of 35.000 from June when the jobless rate was 11.1%. Total employment dropped slightly by 24,000 during July to 3,951,000. Despite the unemployment — increase, Michigan's current July unemployment estimates are well below those of last year when the state’s July jobless rate rose to its 1980 peak of 14.4% with 626.000 out of work. Prior to the July jobless rate increase, Michigan had been enjoying a four month decline in unemployment, including an unexpected drop in June, Taylor said. The previous unemployment increase occurred in February when the rate rose to 142%. Taylor attributed July’s unemployment increase to scattered manufacturing layoffs and to layoffs in the government sector as nonteaching school employees were laid off for the summer. While there were model changeover layoffs in some of the state's auto plants, Taylor said, he expects further layoffs in August. In addition, summer job seekers continued entering the >bor force last month, Taylor explained, which co-‘ribued to the jobless rale increase. Nationally, the unemploy­ ment rate dropped to 7.0% in July from 72% in June. Airman Donald Vickers Completes Basic Airman Donald A. Vickers, son of Mr. and Mrs. Terrance M.

Page 4 HUGH’S MUSE Time to Be Musin’ Along, By HUGH FULLERTON Banner Publisher This is likely to be my last Musa in The Hastings Banner. As you know you read the front 0390 before this one). The Banner is being sold to J-Ad Graphics, publishers of The Reminder and three other publications. As of tomorrow, my tenure as owner and publisher of your local newspaper will eno. My involvement in Hastings will not end. Since my other newspapers are all located within a short distance, I expect to maintain my home and office in Hastings, and my interest in the city and school district continues undimintohed. I look forward to the time when I can get involved in some activities as a private citizen instead of as a publisher, too. Hastings still strikes me-as it did when I arrived seven years ago-as a swell place to live. I shouldn't have to extoll its virtues to its residents. It has its problems, of course. Until and unless we can get past this major problem with the economy, Hastings is not going to thrive again. The town needs an economic lift. What we really need is a couple more smart, growing companies like FtexFab and Hastings Fiber Glass. The three old-line major plants are just not likely to provide new jobs in any numbers. And jobs are the key to almost everything. It has been my observation that other successful small towns usually grow from within. More often than not, it's local people, with mostly local backing, that build businesses and provide jobs. I don't know . her that potential exists here. I do know mat these new entrepreneurs-wherever they are-will need a lot more support and encouragement than they have gotten in Hastings in the recent past. I u Basical,v'what need « another Aben Johnson or Col. Tyden-and a town ready to help them make it for the next generation. Hastings has its problems, of course, but I know of nene which seems incapable of solution. The schools, like most in Michigan, are hurting. The presently-stalled teacher negotiations make it worse. Until the teachers start acting like professionals, and try to do what to truly best for the students, SAVE CASH And don’t miss an issue SUBSCRIBE to the Hastings Banner Your Twice - Newptyrf the schools will not regain their former stature. J*10 county commission has a severe ideological split. We can't be critical of those on either side, because they really believe in what they’re doing. But there needs to be a spirit of conciliation and compromise, for that spirit is truly what makes the American political system work. Barry County is merely a miniature of our national political structure. Despite political differences, the local agencies, for the most part, run smoothly and provide economical service. The city government flows with few waves. I see a lot of school districts, and I think ours to as efficient as the best of them. Most county departments provide their service day after day with few complaints. I'd like to think The Banner has had a role in ull thu. We have played the critic, to be sure. After all, the press is the watchdog for the public. But we also have tried to praise where it to deserved, nnd keep a positive attitude. Most of all, we have tried to provide a forum for the public. The Banner gives its point of view, and invites everyone else to do the same. We have never thrown away a letter simply because it did not agree with us. I wish the new owners well. The Jacobs family has deep roots in this community, and a respect for the century-long tradition of the local newspaper. Any new management will make changes, as we did, and we hope they will be improvements. I have lived in seven states, on both coastsand in the South as weN as Midwest. I have this difficuh-to-prove belief that in —^othergeneration, — wwn, people pwpw from num other mnei parts pans a of the country will realize that Michigan can '***“"** ---------------— - tometch offer them a quality of* — life difficult elsewhere. Woods, water and a dimate with variety are a combination that the glamor places like Florida. Texas and California can't match. We have an abundance of water, which few states can boast, and industry that needs lots of good water will need that in the future. The pendulum will swing back. In years to come, folks will realize that those of us Mio stayed in Michigan knew it when we had a good thing. IN PERSPECTIVE A Swan Song By Any Other Name. I I | By MARY LOU GRAY It is with great sadness, a reminiscent glance at the past and a progressive eye toward the future, that I communicate with you via this final "In Perspective." With the sale of the Banner, a new I chapter in journalism will be cast and new tradition will be developed.

Over 100 years of Cook family leadership brings back fond | ir-emories of Richard and Rose Cook, Bill and Irene Cook; later George (Buzz) Youngs and Hugh Fullerton; and more recently Jerry Hynes and Larry Hamp. Whatever my contribution, my editorial tenure over the past few months to too short a time to really take my place as an equal in such distinguished company. But it has been a genuine pleasure on my part to experience this position, meet the public and enjoy the pleasures that this community responsibility made available to me. Meeting, serving and working with the many people this unique opportunity provided me is invaluable, and the friendships and trusts that have developed will not pass sway with a change of ownership. Many of you know that I've been in’ public life in a variety of ways for several years. Many feel that public fife is a pain and not really worth it. On the contrary, there are many rewards. It is a particular pleasure to meet and work with people, even with those with whom you disagree, who are able to articulate their views. The final reward is getting important things done - the pleasure of doing it - win or lose. I will continue my public commitment. And I invite all citizens of Hastings to participate with fervor and conviction, and with a sense that living in Hastings and working for the common good here to worth all the bother - both for the public purpose and in one’s own personal life.

School About to Start Without Teacher Contract It's hard to believe, but school starts Wednesday in Hastings, and for the first time in history, the teachers have no contract. This to a regular feature in some other school districts, but in Hastings it to an unsettling precedent. Historically, the Hastings school board, administration and teachers have had a harmonious relationship. Hastings was unique in the state a few years ago for having a five-year contract with its teachers. But economics and politics have combined to weaken, perhaps destroy the harmony. Our little educational Camelot is no more. The economics problems are obvious. Teacher salaries are by far the largest expense of a school system. Our teachers had a cost-of-living allowance (COLA) that raised their salaries and total school costs far in excess of what Michigan taxpayers cou'd afford. Now, they must be brought to earth again. Having the Michigan Education Association to deal with does not make educational administration In this state easy. The MEA is one of the strongest teacher unions in the country, and its leadership seems to thrive on conflict. Now its attitude has apparently pervaded the Hastings Education Association and infected our local teacher negotiations. Whether the teachers want to recognize it or not, the number of dollars available for education here is very limited. If they insist on higher salaries, the class loads are going to be heavier, the number of subjects will be cut even further, and the quality of education will continue to deteriorate. It most certainly has already suffered. When your editor went to public school, in another state, 30 plus years ago, we had music, art and physical education teachers at the elementary level, four languages in high school, a full high school forensic program, and varsity soccer. All cf these things are now lacking in Hastings, despite the fact that the school district has about the same number of pupils. That's bad. The responsibility really to on the shoulders of the teachers. They can help the board and administration spread the dollars as far as they will go, to provide the maximum amount of education. Or they can po-for-broke, and perhaps qet higher salaries for an ever-fewer number of teachers. That's irresponsible. The local school board has few options. The bucks can be counted, and divided any way they want, within certain limits. If the teachers get nasty, they always have President Reagan's solution to the air controller strike for inspiration. Let’s get the negotiations over with and on with the task of education. To the Editor: When I spoke of writing this letter, some one asked, “Do you think there is anyone who reads it, who will care about this problem?" How about it. Readers, do you care enough about who sits on the Supreme Court of the United States, to write a letter to our senators, urging them to vote against the nominated person, Sandra O'Connor? Here are some of the facts why she isn't the kind of a judge we need: 1. In 1970, when Judge O'Connor was an Arizona State Senator, she supporting a bill legalizing abortion -on-demand through the ninth month of pregnancy. 2. In 1973, she co-sponsored a measure providing birth control counseling including “surgical techniques ’* to teenagers without parental consent. 3. In 1974, she voted against support of the Human Life Amendment. 4. In 1974, she voted to allow abortions at the taxpayers finance of University of Arizona Hospital. 5. She doesnl stand by the First Amendment to our Constitution, including the rights of broadcasters. She won't be any help in pulling our once great America back to her former To the Editor: Hastings Sincerely, Hastings HighSchool Counseling Department Operation The Michigan State Police are again requesting the cooperation and support of holiday travelers in making the highways safe this Labor Day Weekend, Friday, September 4 through Monday, September 7. “Operation C.A.R.E." will be providing over 4,000 hours of extra traffic patrol which will be concentrated on 2,210 miles of the state's major trunklines. “C.A.R.E.", (Combined Accident Reduction Effort) was initiated by Michigan and Indiana in 1977 and has since developed into a nationwide summer holiday traffic accident reduction program.

Kelley has asked the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to in­ validate a tariff provision which will con tribut to the 50 percent increase in next winter’s gas heating bills of residential customers of Consumer’s Power Com­ pany. In a complaint filed Aug. 7, in Washington on behalf of the State of Michigan and the Michigan Public Service Commission, Attorney Gen­ eral Kelley asked the federal commission immediately to suspend and declare unlaw­ ful and inequitable a “take- or-pay” rate that obligates Consumers Power to pur­ chase high-cost gas when cheaper alternatives are available. Named as defendant in the complaint is Trunkline Gas Company, the interstate pipeline that will be charg­ ing the higher rate to Consumers Power. The higher rate results from Trunkline's purchases of high-cost Algerian LNG (Liquified natural gas), rais­ ing its -average price of gas to Consumers Power from $2.81 per Mef (1000 cubic feet) to $4.50. Other gas supplies are currently priced from $2.50/Mcf to $3J51/Mcf, substantially below Trunk­ line’s price. The “take-or-pay” provi­ sion obligates Consumers Power to pay for 75 percent of its maximum contract supplies from Trunkline even if it does not take that amount of gas and regard­ less of whether it needs the gas. Having to purchase the Trunkline gas will raise con­ sumers Power's price to its customers from $2.21 Mcf. last winter to $3.36 in De­ cember, 1981-a 50 percent increase. If Attorney General Kel­ ley is successful. Consumers Power would be able to purchase the cheapest avail­ able gas and not be so closely tied to the Trunkline rate, which includes the high-cost of Algerian LNG. “The hardship on custom­ ers resulting from the unfair 'take-or-pay' rule makes it absolutely essential that the federal commission act at once to strike down the provision,” Kelley said. “Even if I succeed,” Kelley cautioned, “this is only a foot in the door in reducing the cost of gas for heating pur­ poses. It is one part of our effort to protect the public against exorbitant gas prices charged by utilities.” Births at Pennock It’s a Girl Kathy and John Woodman 57, S.

Deputy Lynn Cruttenden policed the accident Some Grasses Preferred For Michigan Lawns By DAVID W. MERCK ExL Ag. Agent Of the several grass species and many varieties commercially available, some are better adapted to lawns in Michigan than others. Turfgrass specialists at Michigan State University recommend the following. Kentucky BteogrMs With proper management, Kentucky bluegrass forms a long lasting lawn. It grows rapidly in cool, ■ moist weather, but irrigation during hot, dry periods and fairly high levels of nitrogen are needed to maintain high quality. Most Kentucky bluegrass varieties are best suited for riinny lawns. No single bluegrass • iltivar is ideal in color, disease resistance, vigor and amount of care required for best performance, so the experts recommend using a blend of several varieties. They advise choosing “improved" over “common" bluegrass varieties because improved cultivars have greater disease resistance and vigor. Recommended improved bluegrass varieties for sunny areas include Adelphi, Baron, Cheri, Glade, Majestic, Parade, Touch­ down, Vieta and Enmundi; for shaded areas, A-34 (Bensun) and Nugget. Common bluegrass varieties suitable for Michigan lawns include Park, Newport, Kenblue and South Dakota Certified There are suggesten i n inclusion in bier Ih fur .awns « here high management will not be followed. Fine4ealed Fescues These cool-season turfgrasses are more tolerant of shade and infertile, drouthy soils than bluegrass. They will not tolerate wet, poorly drained soils, however. Compared to bluegrasses, fescues require less fertilizer and water. Because they are susceptible to leafspot diseases that cause midsummer thinning, they are usually used in combination with bluegrass. The three fine-leafed fescues grown in Michigan are creeping red fescue, chewings fescue and hard fescue. Creeping red fescue is a sod former; the others are bunch-type grasses. Recommended creeping fescue varieties for Michigan include Pennlawn, Dawson and Ensylva; chewings fescues include Banner, Manuel, Jamestown, Highlight, Koket and Wintergreen; and hard fescue, Biljart. Perennial Ryegrasses. Rapid seed germination and quick establishment are the big advantages of perennial ryegrasses. They tend to require intermediate levels of soil fertility and good drainage. Ryegrasses are bunch grasses rather than sod formers. The common or unimproved types tend to be short-lived because they lack winter hardiness. They are also coarse-looking and have very poor mowing quality. Improved cultivars are more winter hardy and better looking in lawns. They blend well with improved bluegrasses. Select only improved ryegrass varieties and use them where rapid establish­ ment and wear tolerance are a must. They are particular­ ly valuable in establishing a lawn on a steep slope where erosion is likely to be a problem. Seed them along with bluegrass, at three parts ryegrass to one part bluegrass. Improved perennial ryegrass varieties recommended for Michigan include Omega, Derby, Diplomat, Manhattan, Loretta NK 200, Citation and Yorktown II. Turfgrass Species Recosnaaeeded net Some grass species are not recommended for use in Michigan lawns. These include tall fescue (such as Kentucky 81), bentgrasses. Zoysiagrass and annuai ryegrass. Tall fescue is a very coarse-textured, short-lived perennial turfgrass species. It has good tolerance to incense wear, heat and drouth. It is susceptible to snow mold and tends to lack adequate cold hardiness to survive Michigan winters. Avoid Kentucky 31 and Alta in mixtures or alone. Be ntgrasses form an extremely fine-textured, dense, high quality turf under proper management. But good cultural practices are so expensive and timeconsuming that they are highly impractical for the ordinary homeowner. The primary use of bentgraas is ou golf course green*. Bentgrass is not compatible with Kentucky bluegrass and is the most serious single weed of home lawn* because it cannot be selectivley controlled. Zoysiagrass is a perennial, warm-season turfgrass. It is slow to get established and then difficult to get rid of. As the aids for it claim, it is green during the heat of the summer when bluegrass turns brown, but during the cooler months it is the color of straw. Annual ryegrass, or Italian rye, is an annual bunch-type grass that winter kills in Michigan. If used in seed mixtures, it competes with desirable grasses. HUD Census To Start The ninth annual survey of housing in the United States will begin in this area the week of September 13. The survey is conducted by the Bureau of the Census for the Department of Housing and Urban Development in response to the need for frequent and up-to-date information on the Nation’s housing inventory, considered a prime Indicator of the Nation's economic well-being. For the 1981 survey, a sample of 60,000 hqusi: g units out of the Nation's 88 million has been selected to represent a cross section of ail housing in the United States. The sample was originally selected from 1970 census records and has been updated each year to include new construction, conversions, and losses from the housing inventory. Previously, information on the housing inventory came only from the decennial census of housing, irregular sample surveys, and one-time special studies. With regular annual surveys it is possible to make year to year comparisons of the number of types of housing, changes in the total housing slock resulting from losses and new construction, and changes in housing cost and the cost of services and utilities. Timely information will be available for a wide variety of items related to housing, such as indicators of the structural characteristics of residential units, and the characteristics of the occupants and those who move over the years. Census Bureau represent­ atives will begin interview­ ing households the middle of September and the work will continue for about four months. Households in the sample will be mailed an introductory letter prior to being contacted by the Census Bureau inter ewer. For unoccupied units, information will be obtained from owners, rental agents, or neighbors. Joint HUD-Census reports on the results of the survey are expected to be issued in late 1982. Statistics will be tabulated for the U.S., for each of the four census regions, for urban and rural areas, for Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas as a whole, both inside and outside central cities, and for the remainder of the country (nonmetropolitan areas).

It has given them the unique and individual right of reproductive freedom. It has insured that they, and no one else, have control over their bodies. For women who have exercised this right by choosing abortion, it has meant a second chance; abortion for them was far less tramatic and much more humane than having logo through pregnancy and giving up or raising an unwanted child. Legalized abortion has not made women disrespectful of life, it has not made them murderers, it has not made them promiscuous and it certai nly has not made them like abortion (i.e. in favor of preventitive birth control). The anti-abortion groups, largely headed Dy men who have no idea what it is like to be pregnant, to give birth, to give up a child, to keep an unwanted child or to have an abor­ tion. are not united in their stand for the protection of. as they put it, “innocent human life”.

The Riverside Recreational Development Corp, a non-profit corporation of community volunteers, has sponsored the annual Nash­ ville Harvest Festival since 1977 and in an ongoing effort to raise funds for development of a recreational park on the banks of the Thornapple River, west of the business district. The tradition of staging a Nashville Harvest Festival dates back to 1900, and it has been sponsored by various community organizations over the years. Vocal. instrumental. dance and miscellaneous entertainment acts are needed for the 6:30 p.m. talent show, chaired by Lowell and Joan McMillon. The open-air performance will be held on a Maple Street stage. Midway through the show, at about 7:30 p.m.. the identity of the 1981 Nashville Harvest Festival Ql :en will be revealed and coronation will take place. All seven can­ didates for the royal post are expected to be on hand for the event. A 5 to 7 p.m. turkey dinner at the local United Methodist Church will open Friday’s September 14 thru November 19 10 Weekly Sessions for Women of Any Age! ----------------------------------- o------------------------------------ TUESDAYS and THURSDAYS 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. or 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. 9:45 to 10:45 a.m. and 7:00 to 8:00 p.m or 8:15 to 9:15 p.m. — also — MONDAYS and WEDNESDAYS 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. and 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. $20.00 per person To be held in the... TO THE EDITOR: I do not see why teachers cannot get their contracts settled before school starts. For years every time school starts they have gone on strike resulting in lost benefits of tax money plus delayed education to students. Since before Pearl Harbor there have been many strange things going on in the U.S. and it’s time real Americans woke up! A report stated that school busing in the Rockford area would end then the next report said irate mothers protested. You can bet that any action that opposes the subversives will kindle counter-action by them! I doubt if many real Americans know what has been going on since War Two in the U.S. Maybe they just don’t care I care! And I’m ashamed of society and this system. Who can call this mess “progress”? I have studied what goes on for many years. How many have? I would like to see many changes made before I pass on. Of, for and by the people? Since when? I live by the Golden Rule. For 50 years new carburetor designs have been known that can get up to 200 mpg, yet none are put on new cars! WHY? Oil money power? One man put such a carburetor on an old Model T Ford and got 200 mpg! That was YEARS ago! Why pour your money down the drain? Information is available to make such carburetors yourself.

William Milliken for taking “a minute to talk up Michigan.” The award presentation at the State Capitol was part of that year’s Michigan Week celebration.

They are also anti-sex education, anti­ separation of church and state, anti-busing and anti-women’s rights. This movement towards the ultimate control over women must not be tolerated. Perhaps we can be encotiraged by what happened in Italy in May of this year. In spite of the fact the Pope had been shot four days before their referendum, in spite of the fact their influential and patriarchal church forbids abortion, Italian citizens went to the polls and voted by more than a two to one margin to keep the unique individual right of reproductive freedom.

A delicious potluck supper was enjoyed and the birthdays of Ted, David and Lucy were celebrated. Mr. and Mrs. Stuart Kussmaul took the last of their delicious sweet eom down to their son R Jay, at Lansing, Sunday, and also called on Mrs. Kussmaul’s sister. Mrs. Lethe Davis. Sunday guests of Mr. and Mrs -Forrest Potter were their sons, Jack and wife of Muskegon and Tom and family of Charlotte, Mrs. Potter’s brothers, Robert Jackson of Richland and G.W. Jackson and wife of Wayland, and her sisters, Mrs Avis Rose of Hastings and Mr. and Mrs. Milford Buddemeier of Lake Worth, Fla. The gathering was in honor of the latter couple who were leaving here on Wednesday for their southern home.

In my item about our former neighbor. Carl Heise and daughter visiting us — the article in the paper said, “He now resides at the Lutheran Retirement Home in Grand Rapids." That is not correct. He now resides at the Lutheran Retirement Village in Grand Rapids. They are two separate and distinct places. A couple of sentences later it reads: “He says he wishes he had gotten on the third floor because the windows are better looking on that floor.” Personally, I don't think Mr. Heise is especially interested in the looks of the windows, and they are probably all alike on all four Hoots. What he said was that “he wishes he had gotten on the third floor because the widows are better looking on that floor." Those two words are also distinctly different! We have just learned of a wedding that is of special interest to many Woodland area people. Perhaps you haven't heard about it. It took place on June 20 in SS Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Ionia, when Miss Joan Marie Gazella became the bride of Arden Alan Harper. Mr. and Mrs. Carl Gazella are the parents of the bride and the groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Arden Harper, all of Ionia, and Mr. and Mrs. Herman LaReau of Woodland are the groom's grandparents. Father Henry Dondzila performed the ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. LaReau of Woodland and Mr. and Mrs. Howard Harper of Lake Odessa, the groom’s other grandparents, were honored guests at the ceremony. A rehearsal dinner was hosted by the groom’s parents at their home preceding the wedding and a garden reception was given by the Lisa SVine Tofany ol Rochester, N.Y. and bride’s parents at the Harper residence.

Visitors to the facility on E. Woodlawn Ave. will see both the 30,000 square foot addition and the remodelled M.OOO square foot existing building, constructed in 1961. The entire upper level of the addition is an open office area where each employee is equipped with a modular work station designed by Herman Miller. About 75 percent of that area is already in use. Charles Johnston, executive vice-president, explained that the design of the facility will allow substantial expansion of employees because the work stations can be moved closer together. He added that some processing and automation changes will reduce the areas required by some depart­ ments. The lower floor of the addition includes new mechanical service areas and equipment; and a cafeteria and two classrooms, which can be combined into a single room. The previous cafeteria, located on the lower floor of the remodelled building, has been conrted to a light exercise area with lockers and showers. The new addition houses the company's filing, policy typing and underwriting units on the upper level. In the remodelled building are the accounting, claims, marketing, research and development, and methods departments and a portion of the payroll department.

You have had it made all summer. The boys in baseball were on strike and that awarded you ample time to catch up on the re-runs on television and going to places like Cedar Point or Great America. In fact, you probably noticed that football in the professional and college ranks made a debut last weekend. This weekend however, the four day football weekends start. On Friday it's high school football in Barry County featuring inter-county battles. On Saturday, the number one rated Michigan Wolverines, the Michigan State Spar­ tans, the Western Michigan Broncos, and the Central Michigan Chippewas, among others kick off a full schedule of college football. On Sunday, the third day, the Lions will battle San Diego, as pro football fills their second weekend. And rounding it all out of course, is a visit with Howard Cosell on Monday night. On the pages of ti e Banner this week we are presenting the annual High School Preview of Barry County teams that includes photos and schedules. They are just part of the action. The bands, the cheerleaders, the crowds and the hotdogs are warming up for Friday. In Barry County TGIF stands for Thank Goodness It's Football. Here is a Sports Digest look atthe teams in alphabetical order: The Delton-Kellogg Panthers coached by Fred Pessell are out to win the KVA championship. They started a week late because of millage problems, but they promise to be ready for county rival Middleville on Friday. Craig Pennock, the leading rusher in Barry County last year (1,126 yards) returns to run through defenses. He is one of six two-way starters that the Panthers will be depending on to lead them. Last year the Panthers got off to a 0-3 start, but they hope to start out right when the host the Trojans Friday.

The senior signal caller helped lead the the Saxons to a 21-8 win over the Lakewood Vikings in the opener last season, and hopes to do the same Friday. The Saxons were 4-5 last year, but Folmar says he expects them to compete for the Twin Valley Title this season. The Lakewood Vikings have a new coach, Tim Wood, and are coming off two straight Tri-River titles. They battle the Hastings Saxons at Johnson Field on Friday and hope things go better than last year. Fullback and linebacker Rick Forman, one of three starters back, returns to lead the Vikings into battle. Paul Durkee, the quarterback, and Dave Hilley, the wide receiver, return to lend experience to the passing game. Wood is receiving a tough welcome, facing a much improved Hastings team, and threeTri-River toughies (Fremont, Sparta, Lowell) in his first four weeks. The Maple Valley Lions bounced Bellevue 18-0 in the opener last year, and they hope to do the same when they host them Friday. The Lions have ten returning starters including Tom Brooke, the Lions leading rusher last season. He rambled for 202 yards against Bellevue last year. Head Coach Dan Watson says the Lions should be the favorite to win the TCAA Championship this year. Next year the Lions will join the Southwestern Michigan Athletic Association with several Battle Creek area teams. The Thornapple-Kelk>gg Trojans of Middleville face a rebuilding year. They have only two starters returning from a team that won a region championship. Ray Page, long time junior varsity mentor, is now the head man. He repheed Bob White, the dean of Barry County coaches who retired. Todd Sloan, a senior tackle, and Harvey LaPierre, a senior linebacker, are the returning starters for the Trojans. The Trojans travel to Delton-Kellogg Friday, where they won 28-14 a year ago. The United States Achievement Academy announced today that Chris Forman of Hastings has been named a United States National Baseball Award winner for 1981. Chris was nominated by the Hastings High School baseball coach, Bernie Oom, for this national award. "Horne Sweet Home" for MIAA, Saturday Exciting small college football will abound Saturday as ail six Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) teams are at home. Five teams will be playing their first game of the season while the sixth, Hope College, will be going after its second win. Defending MIAA champion Adrian will be seeking its tenth straight triumph in a night game (8 p.m.) against Defiance, Ohio. Coach Tom Heckert’s Bulldogs are the pre-season league favorites. Afternoon games, all beginning at 1:30 p.m., will find Allegheny, Pa. at Albion, Illinois College of Alma, Wabash, Ind. at Hope, Taylor, Ind. at Kalamazoo and North Central, Ill. at Olivet. Hope got an early start on the rest of the league with a 27-2 victory over Valparaiso, Ind. last Saturday. The Hope - Wabash game is likely to draw the day's biggest crowd (an estimated 5,500). Wabash's last defeat was to Hope on Sept. 15,1979 in Holland. The Little Giants, who latter this season will also play Albion and Kalamazoo, have since gone 17 games without a loss. /--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Computer Programming Hastings and Maple Valley school officials are playing a waiting game in light of At­ torney General Frank J. Kelley’s Thursday ruling that pay-to-play is illegal. Both school systems adopted pay-for-play plans last month in order to have athletics for the coming school year. "We are going to wait until we see exactly what is going on," Carroll Wolff, superin­ tendent of Maple Valley Schools said Friday. "We are waiting for official word so that we can ask them what is this interpretation." Richard Guenther, superintendent of the Hastings Area Schools said Friday that everything is still go for the program until they know what is going on. "We have contacted all of our people that were involved in the pay-for-play decision here and they are putting their best thinking powers to work,” he said. “We have to wait and find out what we can and ca nnot do.'' In his ruling Thursday, Kelley said that Michigan schools have no authority to charge students fees for participating in in­ terscholastic sports. A story in the Grand Rapids Press reported Friday that Kelley’s ruling apparently conflicts with an opinion h* gave in a 1970 memo to the State Board of Education. “On Aug. 12, 1970, Kelley ruled that charging fees for interscholastic athletic activities was legal,” the Press reported. "Acting on that opinion, the State Board of Education on Aug. 17,1970, issued guidelines which stated: Fees for participating in interscholastic athletic activities are legally possible if they are extracurricular in nature, students are not r equired to take them, and no grade or credit is given,” the Press said. Guenther said that when the state lawmakers reconvene (Sept. 15) they will have to make some kind of decision. Roberts celebrate 25 years Donald and Carolyn Roberts, 326 S.

September 10 Page 8 DNR agrees to pay sewer fee at Yankee Springs by Elaine Gilbert A group of Gun Lake residents picked the entrance to Yankee Springs State Park last week to demand that the park pay its sewer hook-up fee or close-up. Environmental concerns also surfaced. (Banner photos) The Michigan Department of Natural Resources has agreed to transfer and reallocate some $470,000 within its budget so that the Yankee Springs State Park will become a paying customer of the new Gun Lake Sewer System. Getting the DNR to commit itself to budgeting the money for hook-up to the sewer wasn’t an easy matter It took the active involvement of State Representative Donald Gilmer -and a group of spunky Gun Lake residents to prod the DNR into juggling its funds to pay the hook-up fee. The announcement that the DNR would cough up the funds for the project came last Thursday, the same day that about 30 lake area residents picketed the entrance to Yankee Springs State Park. The group of residents were upset that prvate citizens, like themselves, were being forced to comply with payment deadlines for the sewer while it appeared that the state did not have to comply with the same requirements. Connie Foreman, spokeswoman for the group, said residents organized when “we found out that the park was not going to hook­ up because there were no funds available for this year or next. We thought that maybe if we did some picketing the Legislature would do something.” Gilmer said he has been “in communication with the Department of Management and Bl ’get and the DNR weekly since July in an effort to pressure them to come up with an administrative solution that would permit the hookup of the park to the sewer system. Gilmer, a member of the House Ap­ propriations Committee, said he will see that a legislative vehicle to permit the fund transfer is started when the House convenes later this month. “It has been my position all along that the State of Michigan does not have any legal or moral right to greater privileges than those of the average citizen. If the average citizen had to be hooked up to the sewer system by a specific date, then the Department has the same obligation,” he said. Gilmer said the picketers were in­ strumental in assisting his efforts in Lansing when he was working out the payment agreement with the DNR. “The DNR was quite surprised when I told them the people here were so angry with them.” Gilmer said a check for the state’s hook-up payment should be “in hand” by the end of this month or the first of October. However, Mrs. Foreman, says the group is taking a “wait-and-see” attitude concerning the promise of payment and will be clicking to find out when the digging for the hook-up begins. Residents also are anxious for the state park to become a paying customer because of the anticipated improved en­ vironmental effect on Gun Lake. Representative Donald Gilmer told the picketers he hod obtained the DNR s agreement to pay for the state park s sewer hook-up and expects that payment will be in hand by the first of October Banner Classifieds: For Sale______________ MOVING SALE; Household furniture, 4 pc. bedroom set, 2 twin beds, mattress and springs, odd tables, kitchen set, appliances, etc. 945-4220, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. WANTED: Party with van or truck going to Sarasota, Florida after September 25.

The contract, covering Baltimore. Rutland. Carlton and portions of Irving and Hastings townships, requires a one year notice of termination. Council members were notified Monday of the termination in a letter from Richard Thomas, president of BIRCH and Hastings Township supervisor. Thomas said Tuesday that BIRCH wants an updated contract with the city. Thomas will chair a newly created study committee comprised of five other persons, one from each participating townships. The study committee will examine the present fire protection contract and map out detailed changes that BIRCH would like to see. “We feel that there are certain points that should be straightened out," Thomas said. “We feel that the contract should be more equitable for all of us." Under the present contract, BIRCH con­ tributes 50 percent. $73,465 — of the operating budget of the Has'ings Depart­ ment. The townships' contribution toward wages for full-time fire department personnel is one key point that BIRCH feels is lopsided. Thomas said. •We are set up on a different income than the city is and there has to be some cutting someplace." he said. “Most rural fire departments are unmanned stations whereas the city has to have its station manned to maintain its rating." He said one of the questions that the study committee will ponder involves the per­ centage of the labor bill that the township should accept as its share and what it thinks the city should bear. "One thing that might come up in the study committee is that the way the present con­ tract is. the city — the mayor and the chief — have the full say in hiring. We (the town­ ships) have no say." said Thomas. He said BIRCH's objective in terminating ils present contract is not a move to break lies with the Hastings Department. "That would be one of the last resorts," Thomas said. "Although we can do it. But The then, we would have to get volunteers and find a place to put our equipment." Renegotiating a new contract with the city is the goal of BIRCH, Thomas said. “I really feel it would lie beneficial for both parties (city and townships ) to get a contract that is right for all of us." he continued. However, he said negotiations for a new contract with the city would not begin until BIRCH's study committee has finished its work. In the meantime, Thomas said. "We'll probably meet with the city to discuss some of the items and give them a list of the points and I'm sure they'll have some loo. Thomas hopes the study committee will be able to hold its first open meeting al the end of next week. The arrangement to jointly provide fire services is “a cooperative deal that benefits all of us,” he commented. "I feel that we can keep a good fire department going down there. I don't see any reason why we can’t because we've always had a good depart­ ment." The BIRCH organization was formed by the townships several years ago. Prior to that, the group was called the Rural Fire Association. Banneri Devoted to the Interests of Barry County Since 1856 Vol. 126, No. 71 "The basic reason for that change was that •he townships did not have any equity in the Hastings Fire Department even though we had been been paying into it for 11 years." said Thomas. Now. through Birch, the townships have equity and own four pieces of fire fighting equipment that are housed in Hastings. In another part of Barry County, the townships of Barry. Prairieville, and Hope each share one-third of the cost of the BPH Fire Department in Delton. BPH’s operating budget budget is $30,120. In addition, the townships each pay their own labor costs, according to the number of fires. However. Barry Township and Prairieville Townships have extra fire protection ex­ penses because each operates a separate department of its own. Besides, contribuung to BPH. Barry has a separate department in Hickory Corners which cost $34,944. for 1980-81. Prairieville has an auxiliary fire unit in the Pine Lake area which costs the township an additional $10,950 last year for fire protection. None of the townships have full-time paid firefighters. Hastings, Michigan Pr,c® 20* Thursday, September 17,1981 School Board*Tess than ethical” in pay-to-play decisions, man charges The Hastings Board of Education was accused of being “less than ethical" in decisons regarding pay-to-play athletics during Monday's regular meeting of the board. Pete Dull, 5303 S. Broadway Rd., made the accusation during a heated debate between audience members on the board’s pay-toplay athletic plan. That plan and similar plans across the state were recently ruled illegal by Attorney General Frank Kelley. Dull said the idea of the board asking for fees and then having to change that decision because it was ruled illegal, did not present a good example to the children of the com­ munity. ‘No way can we expect our kids to go out and make decisions with an example of decision making like this,” Dull charged. Dr. William Baxter, president of the board, expressed dismay at Dull's allegation. “We resent the charge that we have been unethical," he said. “I assure you, our decisions have been made with great care.” Dull's comments were made after Superintendent Richard Guenther started the meeting with an explanation of a letter that was sent out by the board this week. The letter, sent to parents of athletes, explained the position of the board on the refund of the $30 pay-to-play fee, or if decided by a parent, a $30 donation to the athletic program. Prior to the attorney general's ruling, the board adopted a partial pay-to-play plan in order for football practice to start on time. Kelley’s ruling was released two weeks after practice had started, and a week before the first scheduled games. Guenther said that several school systems in the state had similar plans and were in the same boat. Guenther’s report kicked off fifty-five minutes of discussion on items not related to Seniors are semifinalists for Merit Scholarships Dale Kelley and Amy Krammin. both seniors at Hastings High School, have been selected as semifinalists in the competition for national merit scholarships to be awarded next spring. Amy, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Krammin of Durkee St, plans to study engineering but says she is undecided which university she will attend. Dale, son of Mr. and Mrs. Roger Kelley of W. State Rd., plans to pursue veterinary medicine at Michigan State University. In making the annoucement of the merit semifinalists. Principal Robert VanderVeen said over one million students enrolled in about 18,000 schools nationwide, participated in the merit program by taking the PSATNMSQT as juniors. In addition to being honored publicly, semifinalists are identified to colleges and universities in the hope of increasing their educational opportunities. the agenda, including the pay-to-play plan. Among other items discussed were whether or not student athletes were in­ timidated to pay the fee by coaches; on the transportation by car of athletic teams and whether they are insured or not; on dropping out of the Twin Valley League or becoming an independent; and on whether or not maintenance costs like the painting the trim on the Junior High should be ignored. When the board started the regular agenda it took six minutes to approve six requests. They are as follows: — A request to hire Mary Baker, a librarian with seven years experience in the Sparta School District, to replace Dawn Farley, former K-12 head librarian, was approved. The Hastings City Council. Monday night, received notification from the BIRCH Rural Fire Department that it will be terminating its contract with the city, next year (See related story, this page*. The contract, covering Baltimore. Rutland. Carllon and portions of Irving and Hastings townships, requires a one year notice of termination. In the notification letter. Richard Thomas. Hastings Township supervisor and president of BIRCH, said they stand ready to negotiate a new contract as soon as studies are com pleted. “I don’t know what they want." Mayor Ivan Snyder told the council, explaining that he first had seen the notification letter on Monday. He added that he was not surprised by the notification. Councilman Frank Campbell, a member of the Hastings Fire Department, pointed out that BIRCH owns four pieces of equipment housed in Hastings and pays one-half the department's operating budget. "The city furnishes the men. all the protective gear, the hoses and the building." Campbel) said. This year, BIRCH will contribute $73,465 to the Fire Department budget. “I think the average citizens don’t know." Campbell continued, “that if the city is running without the rural, it costs us more, just the same as the rural without the city will cost them more." Councilman William Cusack, a former Fire Department member, questioned where the rural department would gel its man­ power if it split from Hastings Each volunteer, he said, is required to have 66 hours of training. "Il's a financial thing.” Mayor Snyder said. "They're having problems, the same as we aie." Council members agreed that the city's Fire Committee should contact the BIRCH officials to begin negotiations. In other action: Council approved used of Bob King Park from September 19 to November 7 for the YMCA-Youth Council soccer program. — A bid from International Salt Company for road salt for the coming winter was accepted at $23.25 per ton. Last year's price was $23.90 per ton. — A letter from Insurance Committee Chairwoman Mary Lou Gray, who was unable to attend the meeting, informed council members of progress in establishing a trust program through Yager and Com­ pany and the Michigan Municipal League for health insurance for municipal employees.

Delton School Supt. plans resignation By Elaine Gilbert Delton-Kellogg School Superintendent Willard Baker has announced that he intends to submit his resignation to the board of education later this month. At Monday’s board meeting, Baker laid members "he would be asking to be released from his contract in the near future," said Vern Scott, board of education president. Scott said he was "not happy" but felt understanding about Baker’s announcement since the two had worked closely together. “He (Baker) is a super guy and he’s done an excellent job," Scott said. This summer, the board extended Baker’s contract to 1984. Personal reasons prompted his plans to resign as superintendent, Baker said Thursday. He has held the post since July of 1977, succeeding Basil Johnson who retired after 16 years in the posit'mi. Baker said he will submit a formal letter of resignation to the board at it? next meeting. September 28. Baker joined the Delton system in 1962 as high school principal, a position he held until 1974 when he became director of education. He also has served as the school’s athletic director. Prior to his tenure at/Delton, Baker was a teacher and middle school principal in the Manchester School District. A native of Goshen, Indiana, he holds a bachelor of science degree from Western Michigan University and a master's degree in school administration from the University of Michigan. Baker’s wife, Barbara, is a high school teacher at Delton. Mrs. Farley accepted a position in Traverse City. Ms. Baker, who holds a Master of Arts in Library Science, will be paid a salary of 4«G,’46 for the school year. — A copy of the minutes of the Aug. 31, meeting was approved. — A financial statement dated Aug. 31, was approved. — All bills were approved. — The monthly budget expenses report was approved. — The final item approved was a request for the board to hold an executive session following the regular Oct. 12, meeting to discuss teacher negotiations that are currently underway. Baxter, Board apologize to citizens of the district The Hastings Board of Education released a letter of apology Wednesday to the citizens of the Hastings Area School District as a result of further investigation into allegations about the controversial pay-toplay athletics plan. The allegations were made by district residents at the board's regular Monday meeting. Citizens at the Monday meeting alleged that student athletes were intimidated to pay the narticipation fees for athletics and that board decisions on the pay-to-play matter were “less than ethical". Last month the board adopted a pay-toplay plan to fund sports. Recently. Attorney General Frank Kelley ruled that Boards of Education may not charge a fee for athletics. His ruling has the effect of law unless challenged in court or if legislation is passed granting such authority to local boards. "A series of unfortunate, unintentional events took place when our staff attempted to implement his ruling relative to refunds or allowable donations by parents,” the letter said. “We (the administration) then sent to parents (via coaches) a form which they could ask for refund or make a donation, to be returned as possible to the coaches This all happened a day or so before our Fall sports commenced and in a few cases, students were asked to pay their late fees at the same time parents had an option to donate or not pay any fees. This was un­ fortunate and we apologize," the letter said. The letter also said the board should not have involved coaches in the process, especially the returning of the sheets in­ dicating the parents decision relative to the fees. "This could have been handled in a more confidential manner and if the occasion ever occurs in the future, it will be confidential," the letter said. "Any parent who does not wish to return the form through coaches may bring their copy to our Business Manager, Nelson Allen in the Adminstrative Office." In other action related to citizen com­ plaints at Monday's meeting. Superintendent Richard Guenther announced that all athletic trips for fall sports teams will be on buses and funded through fund raising and gale receipts. Citizens had expressed concern over a "caravan of cars” heading to out of town athletic contests and the safety of such a practice.

The programs being spotlighted are YIndian Guides for fathers and sons, ages 5-8, and Y-Indian Princesses for fathers and daughters, ages 5-8.

Individual Y Parent-Child Clubs — or Tribes as they are called — are small: six to nine parents and their sons or daughters. They meet regularly in members’ homes on a rotating nasis. "YMCA staff serve as program resources, but the participants themselves plan most of the programs," Storms said.

When Brian Donaldson was returning home from Lake Odessa late Saturday evening and was approaching the driveway at theSteven Barnum home from the north, a large buck and a doe moved leisurely across the road in front of him. Knowing that when you see one deer like that, there are likely to be more, he stooped his car and watched them and sure enough a small fawn soon appeared, and a little later two more little spotted creatures followed. What a picture! But of course he had no camera and anyway it wasn’t the ideal time of day for that. This is a marshy spot and seems to be a favorite crossing for deer; at least they have been seen there often. Mr. and Mis. Elwin Curtis, Mrs. Betty Scobey and son Brad and Brent Donaldson attended the Annual Sylvester Curtis Family Reunion at the Herald Classic Memorial Park in Woodland Sunday.

In a telephone conversation with your scribe several years ago (I called her every Monday), she told me that in her earlier years in this county she attended the Tamarac Church and Sunday School (on the corner of Brown and Martin Roads) and that group held prayer meetings in the homes in the community. One day they held such a meeting here in the house where we now live and she attended that meeting and at that time she gave her heart to the Lord and was saved in what is now our dining room and where I am writing this obituary.

Have you heard of the latest sport among Viking employees ratify 3-year contract Members of the U.S. Steelworkers Local 5965 have ratified a three-year contract with Viking Corporation in Hastings which provides for an annual 10-cents per hour across-the-board wage increase. The new agreement also maintains workers’ cost of living increases, said Union President Lyle Birch. Fifty-one percent of the union members voted in favor of ratifying the contract last Thursday, September 10. The agreement is effective retroactive to midnight of Sept. 9, the date the previous contract expired. •The new agreement "passed by a slim margin,” said Birch, “but I think it’s a pretty good contract. “I want to recognize the company for working with the union so well, especially with the way the economy is. The company negotiated very well." A new contract provision provides workers with a dental plan that is similar to the one at E.W. Bliss, Birch said. Employees will contribute a small portion of their cost of living pay toward the dental plan while the company picks up the bulk of the tab. During the third year of the agreement, a clause in the contract "lifts the cap off” retirement benefits for those who have worked more than 30 years. "Then (in the third year) the retirees who worked longer than 30 years will be able to use those extra years towards their retirement," Birch said.

A number of things impressed me. The printed photographs showed a greater degree of resolution, contrast and clarity. The type was easier to read. The department of opinionated readers (letters) was retained, and the first letter, by Darlene Paulauski. was in defense of individual rights. One right, anyway. There are a number of contributors to the department of opinionated readers whose comments have a considerable following. Ethel Boze. Patsey Verus. Diane Augustyniak. Mary Lou Gray. Merle Sisson. Cameron McIntyre. Mary Sonsmith and many others are in this group. I appreciate their opinions, although I often disagree with them I suggest that the reader’s opinion column be retained. A feature of the premier J-Ad Graphics edition that was not •'resent was the "Happy Ads ’. I hope they, too, will be retained. I also miss the editor's opinion column, even though 1 seldom, if ever, agreed with it* Surely there must be someone on the J-Ad Graphics staff who has opinions and can handle criticism. Many of the news and information features that were in the previous Banner were retained. These are important to many of the regular readers, including myself. In my opinion, the premier edition was excellent, with the few deficiencies noted. Ellyn Renner weds Steven White Rev.

Residents, their grandchildren, great­ grandchildren, other family members and employees at the nursing facility joined together to honor all of the grandparents on the newest of national holidays, Grand­ parents’ Day. Everyone gathered in the facility's dining room and backyard gazebo for refreshments and entertainment. Lots of laughter and warmth was shared between residents and their offspring and friends over pie ala mode and coffee or tea. “The relationship between a grandparent Resident Eveyln Mutschler, who because of health problems is bedridden, is surprised by some visitors on Grandparents’ Day. They’re three of her 33 grandchildren. From left to right, are Trevor Andrew Rios, Christina Arlene Hopkins and Richard Erven Brokaw.

The first session was held Tuesday evening. “We think it is beneficial to the community to have well instructed, well trained em­ ployees in case something unforeseen happens in one of the stores,” Mike McKay, chairman of the Retail Division of the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce, said. Oops!!! Truck driver sinks trailer in Fairgrounds Dove Kennedy of Hostings hod that "sinking" feeling when he arrived at the Barry County Fairgrounds to pick up the trailer he parked over night. The trailer loaded with 43,000 pounds of rock salt went down about four feet into the gravel and dirt mid-way. Kennedy works for Equity Transportation Co., Inc., of Ada, but he isn't planning on telling his boss about it. "He hasn't even missed me yet," Dave said.

The two-day. Sept. 18-19 event is sponsored again this year by the Riverside Recreational Development Corp, as a fund­ raiser for a community recreational park now under construction along the Thor­ napple River, near Nashville's business district. The RRDC. a non-profit corporation of local volunteers, has had charge of the Harvest Festival since 1977. In earlier years, the celebration has been sponsored by various community groups. A major festival event initiated in 1978 by the RRDC is the 10-K Harvest Run, which this year is expected to attract close to 150 state runners. “We’re looking toward raising about $1,000 for the RRDC. because of sponsors underwriting costs of the race,” said Rev. Don Roscoe, chairman of the event. He has enlisted the support of over 40 Nashville and Hastings businesses to furnish cash, prizes, and merchandise awards for the race, thus freeing the $6 per runner entry fee for RRDC use. Nashville's first Harvest Run in 1978 drew under 100 runners. Last year, despite a steady rainfall, there were 159 entries and Rev. Roscoe expects even greater turnouts in years to come. “In the future, I forsee that the Nashville Harvest Run could become one of the largest and best races in Michigan," said Roscoe, who has run in various state races in recent years. “The 6.2 mile course is along a very scenic route." He noted that experienced runners consider the course both fast and challenging. Roscoe stressed the need for community support of the Harvest Run to make it a yearin, year-out success. A unique feature of this year's race will be the presentation by local florists of flowers to women winners in all divisions of the race. To create greater local interest in Saturday’s Harvest Run, theorganizers have planned a 1-mile Fun Run to precede the big event. The Fun Run starts at 8:30 a.m. at Maple Valley High School, also the starting point for the 9 a.m. Harvest Run. The Fun Run is open to all ages of non­ competitive runners. e?ch of whom will receive an award ribbon. Roscoe said he hopes to see parents and children jogging together in the Fun Run. A traditional turkey dinner with trimmings served between 5 and 7 p.m. Friday evening at the United Methodist Church Community House will officially open the festival. Arnolds Amusements, Inc. of Traverse City is expected to arrive in the village Thursday to begin setting up the Friday and Saturday carnival midway. Crowning of Nashville’s 1981 Harvest Queen will take place Friday evening at an open-air talent show which starts at 6:30 September 17 1981 and a director of Hastings Manufacturing’s subsidiary, Douglas Corporation, in Tekonsha. Bennett joined Hastings Manufacturing in 1958, has served in production control and cost accounting and has been assistant office manager for several years. A Hastings native and gradua le of Hast ings High School, he has been active in many civic affairs. Schrader has been appointed superin­ tendent of plant warehouses. He joined the company in 1967 and has served in pur­ chasing and plant inventory control and expediting, as ring inspection supervisor and in industrial relations. Boni in Muskegon Heights, he attended Fremont High School and has taken ad­ vanced studies in industrial management at Grand Rapids Junior College, Kalamazoo College and Michigan State University. He and his wife, Marion, reside near Lake Odessa. They have a daughter.

Historical Society to meet at Bowens Mills The Barry County Historical Society will hold its September meeting at Bowens Mills, two miles north of Yankee Springs State Park entrance off Briggs Road, at 7:30 p.m., Thursday. September 17, where "the past lives again." Neal and Marion Cook, owners of the mill, have invited members of the society to tour the basement blacksmith shop and inspect the antiques on display in the main portion of the mill. A feature will be eight mirrors of the old Beckwith Barber Shop which display 16 decals of 1907 Hastings business places. Ironsides Monuments, Weissert Bros. Hardware Dealers and Furnace and Tin Works, Fuller & Co. Building Materials, Pierson & Sons Sept. Store and Walldorff Furniture & Undertaker, are among the businesses which paid a $5.00 charge for the advertising. The mill, originally built about 1850 as a saw mill, was converted to a grist mill about 1864. Thequaiit} of its buckwheat flour was noted throughout western Michigan. In 1902, a cider press was added and was used to the 1940s when the mill closed down. Burdette Briggs sold the original press to Neil Engel and in the early days, farmers wagons were lined up for the apple press. The press was capable of pressing 38 bushels of apples at one time, making 100 gallons of cider. Refreshments of cider and donuts will be served by the refreshment committee, Eileen Oehler and Charlotte Heath, following the tour and stories of the mill and a short business meeting. Because the tour is on private property and the invitation was made to the society, membership will lx? required for entrance. However, Ernie Appeiman, membership chairman, has promised to sign up new members al the door The society year is September through June and dues are $3.00 per year. The newly complete blacksmith shop and the cider mill at Bowens Mills will be open to the members of the Barry County Historical Society.

Larcenies and thefts are increasing. A slide presentation showed how we can deny the opportunity for crimes to happen. We should be alert to bad situations and avoid dark streets, parking lots and rest rooms. Never give information to a stranger over the phone. Lock your house and car and keep the gas tank full. Protect yourself by fighting, rather than using guns or knives. Tear gas is legal but gives you a false sense of security. Sgt. Smith gave details about the door locks and alarm systems that were on display. He will make a security survey of your home, if you request it. Your possessions should be marked with your driver's license number. A few questions were answered. President Madelyn Percy conducted the business meeting.

Guenther learned from a lepresentative of the State Department of Education, this week, that state aid payments for October will be cut by five percent. Add that to a student population deficit, a fiscal year cash .deficit and a fund equity deficit, and Guenther said the Hastings Area Schools could find themselves with a quarter of a million dollars less than what they had hoped to receive for the school year. “It is a sad state of affairs," Guenther said man interview Wednesday. “We started the school year with serious financial problems. Now they are being compounded even more.” “I guess you could say the bottom has fallen out," Guenther added. "The system of funding schools has to be addressed and must be revised." Guenther said he sees no alternative but to submit a revised budget to the state that is in deficit and see what they do. “I hate to say it in jest, but we will be operating like the government," Guenther said. “By law, we are not supposed to operate that way, but we have no choice." Guenther said he sees the reliance on the property tax to fund schools as the major stumbling block. “Heavy reliance on property tax to fund schools is wrong,” Guenther said. “The voters have spoken, it is the only tax where the voters can cast their feelings." Guenther reported the Hastings schools arealready losing money because of student population. The number of students is too below estimates and Guenther figures that will cost the schools $75,000. He said that is based on the state share of about $775 per student. In addition, the school system entered the year with a cash deficit of $285,957, and a fund equity deficit of $324,379. "And it looks like more executive orders will be cutting into the budget," Guenther said. The five percent cut in state aid is part of Governor William Milliken's executive order to balance the state budget for fiscal 1981, which ends Sept. 30. 1981. Guenther also said that if President Ronald Reagan announces more cuts on education, a further burden will be added. The President will speak to the nation on national television Thursday.

Barry County Prosecutor Judy Hughes said she received an inquiry from a resident, whose identity has not been revealed, questioning whether a closed portion of the board's September 14 meeting was a violation of the state's open meetings act. Because the closed meeting was held in a school building in Vermontville which is located in Eaton County, Mrs. Hughes said she has referred the query to the office of Eaton County Prosecutor Paul Berger. Eaton Assistant Prosecutor Jeff Sauter said Thursday that his office will not become involved in the matter until it receives a written complaint which would then be reviewed. Sauter said he could not speculate on whether the board's closed meeting was a violation of the law because he has not seen a thorough set of facts regarding the matter. Maple Valley board members, themselves, arc divided as to opinions on whether the recent closed session violated the open meetings act. Members at that meeting, approved holding a closed session by a 5-2 vote taken during a regular meeting. Board President Wayne Cogswell said discussion during the closed door meeting pertained to the sale of a home built by students in the district's building trades class. Cogswell said he does not feel the closed session was in violation of the open meetings act, based on past board practice and an opinion from the school district’s attorneys. However, two recently elected school board members, Dale Ossenheimer and Ron Tobias, voted against holding the closed session. Ossenheimer said he and Tobias voted against the closed door meeting and did not attend it. Ossenheimer said he did not attend because he believed it was,a violation of the act based on a previous conversation with a staff member of the Attorney General's office. * An assistant told me that the exceptions which allow closed sessions would be strictly interpreted," he said. Quoting from the act, Ossenheimer said one of the permissible purposes for a closed session is “to consider the purchase or lease of real property up to the time an option to purchase or lease that real property is ob­ tained.” He said his interpretation of that purpose did not apply to Maple Valley's situation because the board discussed the dispersal erf property that was build at the expense of the taxpayers. Cogswell said the closed session discussion involved “what we would have to ask for the house to cover our expenses. Then we went back to an open meeting and voted on setting the price at $39,400, so that is public knowledge. He said the new price on the house is lower than it was originally priced in hopes that it will sell quickly because of the district's financially strapped condition. Deputies seek warrant: Deer shiners threatened near Middleville Two Kent County men reported to the Barry County Sheriffs Department they were threatened by a gunman while shining for deer. Saturday evening, Sept 19, near Middleville. Fred Gleason, 3713 Mallory S.W., Wyoming, told Duputies that he and Terry J. Bauman, also of Kent County, were shining deer on a back road near Middleville. Deputies said a man approached their vehicle, reached in the window and held a revolver to Gleason’s head. Deputies have asked for a warrent of felonious assault on a suspect and the case remains open. Deputies said that shining deer, a practice that involves shining a light on a deer so the animal will stop to be viewed, is legal in Michigan as long as it is not used as a hunting practice. Area police also reported the following incidents and arrests: — Homer Randall, 20,1122 N. Michigan, and Frank Decker, 18, 410 E. Green, Apt. 1, were arrested by Barry County Sheriff Deputies for attempting to siphon gas from a car owned by John Strazisar, 780 Cook Rd, on Sept. 22.

Grant. — Hastings City Police reported three other bicycles stolen around the Hastings area last week. Kay Howell of Hastings drove off in a sparkling new 1981 Chevette, Wednesday, as the winner of a fundraising drawing spon­ sored by the Hastings Athletic Boosters. The contest raised $16,090 for Hastings school athletics. The winning ticket was chosen, Friday, at the Hastings-Sturg’s football game. “Kay had written a composite of two of her married daughters’ names on the (winning) ticket, but both daughters wanted their mother to have the car,” booster member Terry Hudson said. Sheri Johncock of Hastings High School, who celebrated her 17th birthday on Monday, was awarded $100 for selling the winning ticket to Howell. Total fund-raising to date for the athletic program is approximately $27,000 of the $65,000 goal needed for the year, Hudson said. “A significant portion of the $15,000 an­ ticipated from pay-to-play will have to be raised from other sources,” she added. The Chevette had previously been donated by area businessman George Atkinson and the following local businesses: Burger Chef, Cappon Oil, Elias Brothers.

Thursday morning accident injures five area teenagers An automobile accident at 7:47 a.m., Thursday, sent five Hastings teenagers to Pennock Hospital for treatment. The ac­ cident occured near the intersection of E. State Rd. and Powell Rd., the Barry County Sheriff’s Department said. Donald Goodenough, 15, of Hastings was admitted to Pennock Hospital, then tran­ sferred to Blodgett Hospital for plastic surgery. He is listed in stable condition, according to a hospital spokesperson. Also to admitted to Pennock Hospital were Jeff Morgan, 16. and Rodney Morgan. 18. of Hastings, both listed in stable ccndition. Treated and released were Steven Goodenough, 17, and Michael Goodenough, The accident is under investigation by the Barry County Sheriffs Department Budget requests top county revenues The Barry County Board of Com­ missioners and its finance committee are faced with slashing approximately $1.25 million from department budget requests to balance the new 1982 budget. Commissioner James Gordon, chairman of the finance committee, said budget requests from departments total about $5.05 million. “We don’t have an exact clear fix on the 1982 revenue, other than anticipating that it will be similar to last year’s $3.8 million. That leaves a gap of about $1.25 million in funds.” He said his committee is in the process of meeting with departments and agencies to discuss their requests. He hopes that the finance committee can make a budget recommendation to the board so a first hearing on budget can be held Oct. 13. Gordon said some departments have asked for Increased services or staffs but that the requests do not represent any exceptional expenses. Among the increased requests is one from the Barry County Road Commission which did not receive any requested funds last year from the board. This year the request for roads is $360,000, a substantially larger request than last year, Gordon said. Of that request, $260,000 would be use for asphalt resurfacing of county roads and the other $100,000 to match towships contributions for roads. The request for building repairs for county facilities is pegged at $200,000. Gordon said those expenses would be energy related and geared to preserving structures. The county Medical Care Facility is asking for thesameamount it requested last year — $100,000. He said that the management team there had been working well to hold costs down. Gordon said he feels a budget priority is to begin to build contingency funds to guard against unexpected expenses. Funds the county did have in reserve have become depleted because of expenses incurred from the wage lawsuit the county lost, for example. “We have to make sire we’re on top of it,” Gordon said. “We need to build up a good conservative funding base because of hard times that might be coming. The county's financial plight could become more strapped if state and federal revenues are cut further. The consequence of further cuts would mean that the public would have less services, he said. 'Lifeline’ electric rates aimed at saving money By David N. Braboy A recent state law enabling Consumers Power or Detroit Edison customers to use “lifeline” rates is aimed at meeting energy needs of the poor while rewarding with lower electric bills those voluntarily reducing power consumption. In May 1980, the state Legislature ap­ proved and Gov. William Milliken signed into law Public Act 139. This measure mandated the Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC) to develop a “lifeline’' rate struc­ ture for utilities serving 200,000 or more electric customers. Only Consumers Power Company and the Detroit Edison Company serve enough customers to be included in the act's provisions By a “lifeline" rate, the Legislature directed the establishment of an initial block of electric usage priced low enough to enable residential electric customers to meet "basic household needs". At the same time, by increasing the rates for higher usage, the act provides an economic incentive to conserve electricity. The act actually is an extension of the inverted-rate structure the MPSC currently requires Consumers Power and other utilities to employ. Inverted rates charge a progressively higher rate per kilowatthour for successive blocks of consumption. For example, a customers might pay one rate per kilowatthour for the first 500 kilowatthours used and a higher raste per kilowatthour for the next 500 kilowatthours. Under this “lifelife" systemn, customers using only a basic bloc. , of electricity pays 15 percent less than the average energy charge to all customers. Succeeding electrical blocks are priced substantially higher per unit in order to make up the difference. Consumers Power estimates 75 to 90 percent of residential electric customers will receive some type of rate relief as a result of the "lifeline" rate structure while remaining residential customers will face higher costs According to MPSC rulings, two “lifeline” electrical block sizes were determined at different levels depending on family size.The rulings provide for the use of 360 kilowat- story continued on back page �L.-. The Hastings Banner - Thursday, September 24.1981 - Page 2 WestWoodland by Victor Sisson Thought for the Week - It took a trip to Scotland to get her husband to stop chasing the first thing to come along in a skirt. After returning home from Hastings last Tuesday afternoon after taking my letter in to the Banner in which I had the item about the death of Mrs. Beatrice Cotton, I was looking through a pile of paper that I had misplaced quite a while ago and I found this note, which adds some to the item of the day. It is dated Dec. 1, 1975. “Mrs. Walker said she moved to her present home in 1917 and two years later, in the fall, Rev. Alice Durham held a threeweeks revival at the Tamarac Church. They also held daily prayer meetings in the homes of the neighborhood. Because her family lived too far from a church when she was a child, she had never had the privelege of attending either church or Sunday School. She attended a prayer meeting in the King home (where we now live) and was con­ verted in the dining room there." Douglas Flessner left Monday to begin this year’s study at Michigan State in Lansing. Mr. and Mrs. Byron Hesterly attended the wedding Saturday of Jeff Dickinson and Shelly Sutherland at the Kilpatrick United Brethren Church. Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Potter of Woodland were dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. Leon Hynes of Lake Odessa, last week, Wed­ nesday. Saturday, three of the Potter’s grandchildren. Shannon, Christy and Brian spent the day with them. Also in the letter I was carrying to the Banner a week ago was the account of Brian ’ Donaldson seeing five deer cross Martin Road in front of him the previous Saturday night. Last Tuesday morning, as we were en route to Hastings, we were just passing the barn at the Kay Moore home when something dashed into the road ahead of us from the north. I shoved on the brake quickly and came to a stop. Two other cars were coming from the west. Their drivers also saw what we saw and also stopped. A papa deer, a mama deer apparently, and three beautiful little fawns dashed out into the road, stopped for a moment, then the first four went on Hastings across and into the little nursery and stopped at the edge of the Hauer woods and waited for the other little fellow. However, it was afraid and ran back into the taU grass and weeds on the north side of the road where it was hidden from view. We were all waiting and watching and it made a star! the third time before it finally got nerve enough to go across. It then hurried over where the others were waiting. It is very possible, perhaps probable, that these were the same ones Brian saw, the locations were about two miles apart, cross lots. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Stadel attended the wedding of Miss Annette Bump, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Duane Bump, and Leon Weeks at the United Methodist Church, Saturday evening. Sunday evening, the Stadels were supper guests of their daughter and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Eddy. Also fitting in with a couple of items in recent West Woodland letters, we ran onto the following when we were looking for an article in our 1956 News-O-Rama Scrapbook, clipped from the Sept. 6th Hastings Banner’ “Sunday a surprise party was given in honor of the 25th wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Kendall Coats by Mr. and Mrs. Max Coats and Mr. and Mrs. George Coats and Mr. and Mrs. Tom Niethamer at the Max Coats home.

Mrs. Harold Yerty of Indis, Calif., was a caller at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ford Stowell recently. Mrs. Yerty is the former Arltne McMillen and is a sister of Garold McMillen of Woodland and the other Mc­ Millens of that generation. All or most of them, the nine children of Harley and Almada McMillen, were born and lived their early life here on Jordan Road, where the Lubitz family now lives, across the road from where the Stowells lived then. The Stowells had not seen Arllne for many years Mr. Yerty is a brother of Keith Yerty of Hastings and was a teacher in the Woodland School, teaching the fifth and sixth grades and coached the junior high sports for eight terms between 1939-1948.

Sunday morning, Mrs. Myers and James Tyler attended the service at Calvary U.B. Church at Lake Odessa and after church came back to Woodland for dinner at the Woodland’s Towne House. As they sat down to eat, they were treated to a surprise when the former’s sister and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Lorence Hubbell of Goodwill Rd., south of Hastings, walked in, having decided to come over and try the Woodland eatery. After dinner, the four went out to the facility where the Rev. George Speas, pastor at Calvary, was to have the afternoon service. Later they called on Mrs. Sawdy. Although not planned that way, all the members of her . family, brothers and sisters plus Mrs. Nina Decker and Miss Myrtle Wilson of Hastings, called on Mrs. Sawdy, Sunday. The latter has been bedridden for some time now. Wed like to make another correction this week. We don’t know for sure who made the mistake but in the item last week about the reunion of the Sylvester Curtis family, there was an error. It said the attendance at the dinner was 59, but in reality there were 98 present. Sorry for the error, anyway, whoever made it. Mr. and Mrs. Harold Stannard and Mr. and Mrs. Tom Niethamer made an early trip to Grand Rapids Friday, where they obtained a vantage point on the bridge where they had a very good view of the long parade which was a part of the week-long program that led up to the dedication of the President Gerald Ford Museum. Apparently no expense or work was spared in the preparation for the parade and it was really beyond description. Only those receiving special invitations were privileges to go into the museum and the local people were not among that group. went to the Torn Niethamu field on Martin Rd. about a quarter of mile north of M-43 But there is a limit to everything and it seems that the factory had reached theirs and they had all the beans they could use, so only a part of that field was harvested. Row after row the length of that field was not touched by those machines. Tom and Doris and neighbors and friends got busy on the telephones and everyone they could think of Uiat might like beans to can or freeze or for immediate use were invited to come and pick all the beans they wanted “free of charge” Tom put up a sign out by the road and folks read it and stopped or came back later for beans. One person reported seeing a car headed north, speeding past there. The driver evidently read the sign "on the run", stepped on the brake, backed up, parked his car jumped out, hurried into the field, ripped off his jacket, picked it full of beans, back to the car and on his way, all in the course of only a few minutes. A few people picked beans there Sunday. And Monday, in spite of the rain, there were a number of pickers and now — Monday night as we write this, we are informed that there are some from Hastings coming in the morning to pick and still there are beans. But probably as soon as the field dries off enough, Tom will plow under what is left, but he would rather someone who needs them would get them. Willis Dalton and son, Gary, dr .we to Grand Rapids early Friday, found a parking place and walked a m ile or so to a spot where with the aid of their field glasses they could witness the dedication of the President Gerald Ford museum. Asked if they got to shake hands with President Ronald R^gan one of the celebrities present for the event’ they said "no" but with the help of the glasses they had a real good view of what wentonand I guess the loud speaker hook up carried the program to most of the huge crowd pretty well.

Lewis of Yankee Springs has returned from Nashville, Tenn., following a nostalgic weekend spent renewing acquaintances first made more than 35 years ago. The event was the 17th Annual PT Boaters’ Reunion, held tach Labor Day weekend by P. T. Boats. Inc. The “Music City, USA" gathering of more than 850 World War II veterans and their wives included memorial services, a night at the Grand Ole Opry. business meetings and banquets, and renewing of friendships among those who served together aboard Patrol Torpedo (PT) boats, their shore bases or tenders. “You never know who is going to show up. New shipmates attend every year — more than 100 come to their first reunion this year — so it’s always a pleasant surprise to see someone you served with 35 years ago." Lewis said. The kindredship seems to en­ dure. as 14 widows of PT Boaters were at the Nashville reunion. The non-profit, 8,000-member PT organization maintains a library and museum at Battleship Cove, Fall River, MA. The museum's collection includes memorabilia, photos, histories, and the Higgins-built PT Boat 796 used in the 1960 presidential inaugiral parade to represent PT 109, commanded by Lt. John F.

Protecting tender garden crops against the first killing frosts can extend the harvest from your garden for days or even weeks. Freezing temperatures can harm tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, squash and beans, points out Lee Taylor. Michigan State University Extension horticulturist. Anything you can do to keep the plants warmer than that will help protect them. If you have only a few tender plants, covering them with straw, newspapers, cornstalks or pine boughs will do the job. The aim of covering plants, Taylor explains, is to trap heat that's given off by the soil and hold it around the plants. Cover them in the evening if frost is likely, and uncover them in the morning after it warms up. Another strategy is to sprinkle tender crops with water at about inch per hour. As the water freezes on the plants, it gives off heat. The heat keeps the plants from freezing. Keep sprinkling until the ice melts off the plants. Cooperative Extension Ser.

This works particularly well for tomatoes. Unblemished mature green tomatoes stored at 55 degrees F. will ripen in 25 to 28 days. Moving them to a warmer spot speeds ripening. If you don't have time to pick your tomatoes before frost strikes, pull up the plants, hang them upside-down in a garage or basement, and pick the fruits as they ripen.

These include lettuce, spinach, chives and the cole crops — cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kohlrabi. Brussels sprouts and Chinese cabbage. They will normally last until October or November. Some crops — including carrots, parsnips and Jerusalem artichokes — can be left in the ground all winter if they’re heavily mulched. The mulch is not so much to keep them from freezing — though it is handy to be able to dig them all winter — but to keep them from repeated freezing and thawing.

The interest on these certificates, up to ‘1,000 per year per person (’2,000 for a couple filing a joint tax retrm) will be exempt from federal income tax. You may convert your present six month money market certificate to an All Savers Tax-Free Certificate without paying a penalty for premature withdrawal. The new certificates are insured up to ‘100,000 by the FDIC and are subject to final federal regulations and applicable penalties for early withdrawal.

In any event, you shouldn't count these pur­ chases as part of your ex­ penditure for groceries.

While First National’s new program takes an initial investment of *5,000, you decide for how long, from three to twelve weeks. To the day. What you’11 be doing is investing your money in repurchase agreements secured by U.S. Gov­ ernment and Agency securities owned by First National. You won’t be making a bank deposit, so your money will not be insured by the F.D.I.C. But that means you’ll be able to earn a much higher interest rate than you ever could on a sav­ ings account. Interest rates will vary but yours is fixed, guaranteed by First National, for the length of your agreement. • At maturity, your in­ vestment and interest earned will be automatical­ ly deposited in your checking or savings account.

Arrangements by the Beeler Funeral Home of Middleville: Hastings funeral firm retains Golden Rule membership Leonard-Osgood and Wren Funeral Home, Inc., in Hastings, has been accepted for membership in the International prder of the Golden Rule for the 18th consecutive year. The announcement was made by executive director Dale L. Rollings. Leonard-Osgood and Wren is operated by David Wren. The Order is one of the world's most closely controlled membership organizations for funeral directors. Before being admitted, a firm n.ust be recommended by families it has served and by other professionals in the area. “Over the years." Rollings said, “the Order has become a more and more professional group. Members are located in communities large and small throughout the world, and the knowledge and experience they share make them uniquely aware of current consumer attitudes about death and funerals, as well as changes occurring within the profession." Rollings pointed out that regional meetings and an Internationa, conference are held each year to offer members sources of new information relative to the profession “Our entire concept of what is relative to the profession' has changed in recent years,” Rollings said. “With the growth of thanatology, grief therapy, and other fields of study in the universities, we are able to obtain speakers with new and valuable things to say. The emphasis is now placed upon making funeral service truly helpful and meaningful to the survivors, to those who are left behind and must go on.” Continuous research is conducted at the Order's home office, and information is made available to members through newsletters and other media. “Our continuing goal,” Rollings said, "is to work,with our members for the im­ provement of the profession and the benefit of the families they serve.” Births: IT’S A BOY David and Sussr.

Area golfers play in Hagen Tournament Four Hastings golfers were part of four­ somes from across the state that played in the state Walter Hagen Memorial' Golf Tournament. Sept. 12 and 13 at Boyne Highlands in Harbor Springs. Bob Puerach, Dale Koop. Gordon Norris and Ron Beyer played in the tournament that is sponsored by the American Cancer Society. They are one of two local groups representing Barry County that qualified for the trip to Boyne after winning in the local Hagen Tournament at Hastings Country Club. Proceeds from the tournaments are used for research, education and patient services in the battle against cancer. The first national Hagen Tournament was held in 1973. Fourteen teams from seven divisions participated raising nearly $250,000 for the American Cancer Society. Last year the Hagen Finals at Disney World drew 103 teams from 36 divisions and raised over $2 million. In 1976 there were 28 local tournaments in Michigan. The $225,000 they raised represented nearly a quarter of the total amount raised nationally. Last year, Michigan had 48 tournaments in 32 counties' ■ The tournaments raised $224,525, the number one state nationally in funds raised. This years money amount will be relea ed at a later date. Sports digest ByGreg Johnson Hastings can’t leave the TV Plain and simple, as Sergeant Joe Friday would say, "That’s the facts ma’am." — Point number one — they are already committed to schedules years in advance. Breaking contracts is not an honorable thing to do. — Point number two — they would have to travel farther to get games than they already do. Teams throughout the state have tried it and found out they have to go to Ohio at times, just to get games. If you don’t believe me call Bernie Larsen at Pennfield High or Dick Stephens at Battle Creek Central. — Point number three — if the Saxons forfeit games in the Twin Valley that they can’t afford to go to, they will be asked to leave the league. That makes point number one and two big problems. Solutions to the money problems are not simple. As Dr. James Atkinson said at a School Board meeting recently, the people should work for the passing of a millage. His comments and the board’s comments were the only positive parts of the entire meeting. If things are going to be done, more people will have to get the positive attitude. Instead of trying t« nail the school board to the wall all the time, get back to helping the kids. If you really want to test whether or not athletics and other activates are important to education. Pressure the schools into doing without them. I’ll be willing to bet athletics, band and the whole shot will be brought back. There is another direction as Superin­ tendent Richard Guenther points out. Change the dependence on schools on properly tax. When people have only one place to say no to taxes, in a time when taxes are wearing us down, they will, and have said a b:g no. Saxon backers get to work and really back the Saxons. Back every kid that walks through the halls in a Hastings School. Get a millage passed. As Sergeant Friday would lecture at the end of the Dragnet shows, I am lecturing now. Go ahead and talk about the salaries of administrators, the money that has been wasted before, and bring up new gripes on board decisions. All your really doing though is hurting the kids. And who is this all for anyway? Outdoor Report: Fall officially entered the scene this week bringing with it the hunting season. Foilage is still green and heavy making hunting for squirrels, woodcock and grouse a real challenge. Pressure on opening day for squirrels, grouse and woodcock was down due to weather conditions. There appears to be good numbers of each available with game areas reporting more squirrels than usual. October 1 is a date to remember. It’s the deadline for applying for Hunters Choice Permits, including Landowners Permits. In addition, it marks opening day of bow and arrow deer hunting, and racoon season opens at 8 a.m. (Photo at right) This Hastings foursome (from left) Ron Beyor, Gordon Norris, Bob Puerach and Dale Koop played In the state Waher Hagen Tournament, Sept 12 and 13, In Harbor Springs.

The opening hour is one-half hour before sunrise as indicated or. the map in the 1981-82 Waterfowl Hunting Guide. A reminder: Owners name and ad­ dress must be affixed to the exterior of the blind in waterproof letters not less than three inches high. Geese and ducks continue to move in with 5,000 geese and ducks now using the Feenville Farm Unit and more arriving daily. King looking to help Albion Last year Brad King was rolling towards a 1000 yard plus season for the Hastings Saxons, but this year he is trying to find playing time in the Albion College backfield. King, a 5 foot 7 inch, 160 pound tailback in one of several freshman recruits that battled junior Ed Walter for the starting spot in the Albion offense. Freshman Steve Mazur won out and will share the spot with Walter, but King is still expected to contribute. Head Coach Frank Joranko heads into his ninth year at the helm with a rigorous non­ league schedule that includes Division III powerhouse Wabash, Ind., and Division II Homecoming opponent. "This is one of the toughest schedules we’ve had since I’ve been here," Joranko said. "Hope and Albion probably have the two toughest schedules in the league, but I don’t mind. We are committed to playing the very best we can.” Last Saturday Albion opened its 1981 season with 19-7 win against Allegheny, Pa., in the opener for each squad. This Saturday the Britons travel to Valparaiso University in a non-league match-up. Kickoff is at 2:30 p.m. Michigan time.

Warren B. King, ornithologist and chairman of the U.S. Section of the In­ ternational Council for Bird Preservation, said on small islands and on large continents, many species of birds are endangered because of destruction of their habitats by humans. Saxon eagers split T.V. games The Hastings Saxons girl's basketball squad split their opening Twin Valley games in action over the past week. On Thursday, Sept. 17, they started Twin Valley play with a 54-41 loss to Coldwater, but on Tuesday, Sept. 22, they rebounded with a 53-49 win over Sturgis. Kelly Mogg and Paula Atkinson led the way for the Saxons in the losing cause at Coldwater. Mogg tossed in 17 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, and Atkinson netted 12 points and grabbed 12 caroms. A 21-7 edge in the second quarter lifted Coldwater into the lead for good. The Saxons committed 51 turnovers in the game. "Again, like the Delton game last week, we turned the ball over too many times,” Saxon coach Pat Purgiel said. "When this stops, we’ll win."

Four Saxons scored in double figures leading second and fourth quarter bursts that propelled Hastings to victory. Laura Allercfing with 14 points, Mogg with 12, Atkinson with 11, and Lori Teunessen with 11 led the Saxon charge. Both teams were tied at half 27-27, and the Saxons depended on a 17-11 edge in the final period to take the victory. Atkinson led rebounders again with 14 and Mogg had 11 of the team's 43. Teunessen led the Saxons in the decisive fourth quarter tossing in 6 of 6 free throws down the stretch. The lead changed hands six times in the final period. The Saxon Junior Varsity also notched a win. They nipped the Sturgis representatives 38-32. The Saxon varsity is now 1-2 on the year, 11 overall, and they take on Harper Creek tonight, Thursday, at home. Game time fcr the Junior Varsity squad is 6 p.m. with the varsity game following. Lake anglers are faced with a tough challenge. In almost any reservoir, 50 per­ cent of the water doesn’t have enough free oxygen to support fish life. And about half of the remainder will have less than desirable oxygen content and will serve only as tem­ porary habitat for fish. Oxygen in water is measured in parts per million (ppm). Research has shown that where there is less thant 2 ppm, fish will stay only a few seconds. When the oxygen content is from 2 to5 ppm, tests indicate that fish will remain up to 10 minutes. The ideal range, according to Mercury outboard's fishing experts, is from 5 to 13 ppm. At this level fish have access to enough oxygen to sustain them indefinitely. You can locate the ideal oxy-cline (5 to 13 ppm) by testing various water depths with an oxygen meter. Fall winds are both good and bad for anglers. They’re beneficial when baitfish are attracted to wind-blown shores where they feed on insects and plankton stirred up by the waves. Bass, walleye, pike and other gamefish follow the baitfish. Other high action spots at these times are underwater humps and shallow, flooded shelves. The bad side of the wind shows up when fishermen are unable to control either their boat position or casting accuracy. If your fishing suffers because of the wind. Mercury outboards' angling experts have some tips to try next time you’re frustrated by the breeze. Back trolling is one technique that will eliminate wind problems. Put the outboard engine in reverse, point the stern of the boat toward the wind and fish as slowly as you want. The advantages of back trolling are; perfect boat control; you can fish directly underneath the boat—jigging or bait fishing; and you can cast down wind and work the lure back to the boat on a tight line "Because Ducks Unlimited intends to spend a quarter of a billion dollars on waterfowl conservation over the next five years, we are veiy concerned about the discovery of Endrin (a pesticide spray) in Montana waterfowl," DU President Robert Marcotte said in a press release this week. “Considering the facts that are presently known and understood, the latest assault on man’s and wildlife's environment with the use of this pesticide spray has caused what could, be described as sensationalized reporting." Marcotte said that according to Montana Fish and Game officials, the results of an adequate number of statistically reliable tests will not be available for at least another week, since each test requires as much as ten hours to complete. Marcotte added that professional wildlife biologists are working on the problem, and that cool heads should prevail during this period until all the facts are known.

Coldwater Sports Calendar on Page 8 �The Hastings Banner — Thursday, September 24,1981 — Page 8 CETA program to train and place older workers The Mid Counties Employment & Training Consortium (MCETC) is operating a special CETA program designed to train and place in employment, unemployed low-income persons who are 55 years or older. The program is designed to aid older workers in overcoming the barriers faced in obtaining meaningful employment. The primary obstacle facing 55 and elder workers who are seeking jobs, according to John M. Martinoff, Executive Director of Mid Counties Employment and Training Consortium, is that employers consider them to be poor investments in the future. "Em­ ployers usually consider younger applicants as better investments," Martinoff explained. "Older workers are accident-prone and have fewer years of service to offer, are two myths which usually cause employers to pass over older workers for younger ap­ plicants," stated Mr. Martinoff. Older Workers — those 55 years of age and older — file fewer worker's compensation claims and remain in a job for 12 years longer than workers between the ages of 20 and 44. 757 of Michigan’s 87,000 workers 65 and older filed worker's compensation claims in 1979. By comparison, workers between the ages 25 through 44 filed 38,436. "This means I hat only 1 out of every 100 older workers suffered job-related injuries, whereas 2 out of every 100 younger workers are injured." Martinoff stated. Fifty to sixty-year-old workers remain with one company for an average of 15 years. The younger counterpart, due to higher mobility rates, remain with one company for an average of 3.4 years. The program provides recruitment, counseling, and placement services to economically disadvantaged persons who are 55 years of age or older. Once eligible older workers are identified, they are placed in the MCETC regular CETA classroom training, work experience and on-the-job training programs. The special emphasis of the program is providing needed services which are not regularly available to older workers in coordination with regular CETA programs. For example through the MCETC programs, older workers are referred to county health departments for health assessments in which potential employment problems are iden­ tified. In order to provide such service, the MCETC has coordinated its efforts with other public agencies serving older workers in the area. "This is the first time in this area that so many agencies have pooled their resources Io aid older workers in obtaining em­ ployment." Martinoff stated. The MCETC has developed linkages with Woman wins nursing home scholarship tells you something We’re proud of the fact that many of our patrons have shopped with us year after year.

A nurse technician at Provincial House, 240 E. North St., Hastings for two years, Kasper will use the scholarship to attend Grand Rapids Junior College to become a registered nurse and will have an associate degree in nursing. Provincial House, a Lansing-based health care firm that owns and operates 24 nursing facilities in Michigan, offers scholarships to interested employees who have been with the company at least six months. Qualified, trained nurses are need in the field of long term care, says Provincial House Vice President of Operations Victoria Landolfi, and the scholarship program is designed to encourage more nurses to study and work with the aged. Employees who utilize the scholarship program commit themselves to a job with Provincial House for a time after their graduation. “That way they get to put their training to use working in one of the most rewarding fields of nursing — and that's geriatrics," ■ Mrs. Landolfi says. Also, comments Joyce Weinbrecht, R.N.. administrator of Provincial House in Hastings, the scholarships help the people themselves achieve educations that they may not have been able to afford on their own. "At a time when the cost of education is rising, this scholarship benefit car help our employees further their careers,” Mrs. Weinbrecht says. Kasper, who is 19, is a graduate of Lakewood High School in Lake Odessa and has attended one semester at Calvin College. The League of Conservation Voters, the national political action committee for en­ vironmentalists, announced today its en­ dorsement of support for Congressman Howard Wolpe (D-MI) for reelection to the U.S. House of Representatives in the 1982 election. The league's director, Marion Edey, praised Wolpe's leadership in redirecting the nation’s energy policy toward increasing energy efficiency and developing renewable resources such as solar energy, and away from extremely expensive and dangerous energy projects such as the breeder reactor and the solar satellite. Wolpe is a leading member of the House Science and Technology Committee, which has jurisdiction over research and development of new energy technologies. Edey said, “The League of Conservation Voters gave Wolpe an overall grade of 99 percent in 1980, and so far this year he has earned a too percent grade for helping to lead the fight against three big pork barrel projects that are environmental disasters: The Tennessee - Tombigbee Waterway, The Clinch River nuclear breeder reactor, and the solvent refined coal plant in Kentucky. These three projects alone will cost the taxpayer over $10 billion dollars if and when they are completed.

October 6 has been expanded into two sessions with the second session scheduled on Tuesday, October 13. Both sessions will begin at 7:30 p.m. and will be held in the choir room at the Hastings High School, 520 W. South Street, Hastings. On the first evening. Dr. Les Mack Ex­ tension specialist from Michigan State Universay, will help participants evaluate energy losses in their own homes and then identify the most cost-effective methods for controlling those losses. Practices presented in this in-depth workshop are essential first steps in the adoption of alternative forms of energy like solar in houses which are already con­ structed. The adoption of these practices is also essential to the slowing of the erosion of family income left after energy bills are paid. Mrs. Cynthia Fridgen, also an Extension specialist from Michigan State University, will discuss the solar alternative during the second session on October 13.

David Turnes. president of the production and maintenance unit bargaining committee of Local United Auto Workers 138. said that approximatly 375 of the plant’s 470 em­ ployees _ met Tuesday in the Central School Auditorium and voted to reject the proposal by an 89 percent margin. Dennis Witham, director of industrial relations, said the company asked to freeze cost of living raises, and reduce the current add on since the labor contract that was ratified in January. 1981. “We asked them to do this in exchange for possible job security," Witham said. “Due to competition our business is insecure.” Turnes said that workers received cost of living raises on March 1, June 1, and Sep­ tember 1. that equal 68 cents an hour for production and maintenance workers, and 64 cents an hour for clerical workers. Over a 40 hour work week a 68 cent an hour rollback would cost the production or maintenance worker $27.20 a week, and at 64 cents an hour, it would cost the clerical workers $25.60 a week. "The proposal is totally unacceptable under the terms presented." Turnes said. "We want it known this is not a militant type vole, but the vote shows the company is just asking too much." Witham said a management decision has not been reached regarding the rejection. “On-going discussion between company officials will be maintained." he said. "At the present time I have no comment on the company future." Witham did say however that the company wanted to stay in Hastings. “The company desires to stay in Hastings as long as satisfactory profits can be maintained." Turnes said it is not the unions desire to put the company out of business. "The company told us they were not in financial trouble, but they didn’t want to get there either, he said. “The membership is willing to carry their share of the load, but they don't want to carry the entire load." "This is no’ a war zone. This is not a labor dispute. This is a company request that we turned down because we feel it is unreasonable." Turnes said. Witham said that uncapped cost of living increases are the major reason Hastings Manufacturing Co., is having trouble competing in their business. They produce air and oil filters, piston rings and engine additives for the automotive industry. Turnes said the competition is in the filter market. "Most filter makers are in the south and they are non-union shops that pay less wages." he said. “The company feels we gel more than the competition." As far as piston ring production, our workers are paid the standards of the in­ dustry," he added. Witham would not comment on whether or not the company would make a follow-up proposal, or what the company planned to do dS a result of the rejected proposal. “It (the membership's rejection) indicates management decisions will have to be made regarding the company remaining com­ petitive." he said. Turnes said the company could not answer the membership's questions and that is why he thinks the vote was so overwhelming. “We asked them if taking the cut would guarantee the company staying here and being solvent and they said no." Turnes said. “Then we asked them if the cuts would take care of their current needs and they said probably not. and there would probably be more concessions.” Turnes added dial lhe membership was open to the company making another proposal. Teachers cut volunteer activities Hastings teachers, hoping to put pressure on the Board of Education to complete contract talks, are refusing to conduct any volunteer activities. The action began Tuesday upon the recommendation of the Hastings Education Association’s (HEA) Crisis Committee, formed earlier this month. "Legal questions and possible problems for teachers doing volunteer work without a contract have not been settled. David Kietzmann, chairman of the HEA negotiating committee, said. "One of the things we have requested are job descrip­ tions for some of these jobs." Richard Guenther, superintendenL said that many of the activities which teachers would ho Hnino Q ... would be doing on a volunteer basis are still being conducted with parents in supervision. Robert VanderVeen. high school principal, said that they are trying to keep things as normal as possible. “Mr. Karpinski and I will supervise to the extent that we have time and we'll fill in with parents," VanderVeen said. William Kar­ pinski is assistant principal at the high school VanderVeen <aid that parents have already offered to assist with activities Friday, following the lootball game, a dance will be held for high school students under the supervision of parents of members of the Interact Club. "Right now, plans are proceeding for homecoming," the principal added. Kiwanis celebrates 40 years ... ' Kietzmann questioned th? responsibility of the teachers when they volunteer for projects such as building homecoming floats. “How many hours is a teacher expected to put in on such a project?" he asked. "Must the teacher always be present? If a teacher or parent is not present and there is a serious accident, who is legally responsible?" He added that the potential legal pitfalls for teachers who volunteer for sixth grade camp are endless Mariam Sorby, HEA president, said they regret that the actions are going to hurt some of the students. "We feel that what the board is proposing about class size would hurt a lot more children for many years to come,” Sorhy said. Sorby did not release details about tne class size proposal. Robert Miller, spokesman for the school board’s negotiating team, said the complete proposal submitted to the teachers did have a class size figure included, but he also declined to detail the proposal. "We haven’t heard anything back from the teachers execpt in the newspaper,” Miller said. "Money is the big hangup as I see it. We’d like to sit down and talk about this." A meeting will be held tonight (Oct. 1) at 7 p.m., called at the teachers' request.

Preliminary examination has been set for October 5. Taylor posted a $7,500 bond Tuesday evening, and told police that John Watts of Allegan will serve as his attorney. Police said he was arrested in conjunction with a case reported Tuesday, September 15. Storm wreaks havoc By David N. Braboy Complaints about teachers discussing the contract negotiations with their students in the classroom were received by Dr. William ’Baxter, president of the Hastings Board of Education, Wednesday evening, The Banner learned. Contacted about the reports, Robert Miller, spokesman for the board’s negotiating team, said Baxter received complaints against two teachers, one in an elementary school and one in the high school "We are correcting it through the building principals." Miller said. Miller said that if the discussion was in­ structional, such as part of a political science course, it can be talked about. Otherwise, he said, it would not be permitted. "Our position is that we fed it should not be discussed at all,” Miller said. Mariam Sorby, president of Lhe Hastings Education Association (HEA), said discussion in the classroom is not sanctioned by the leadership of the HEA. "Two teachers were complained about and we are talking to both of them," she said. Police arrest suspect— A 24-year-old west side Hastings woman reported to Hastings City Police that a man broke into her home and attempted to assault her around midnight on that date.

Johlisten Johostcn The Hastings City Council, Monday evening, killed two proposed ordinances which would have allowed homeowners to build 14 foot high accessory buildings on their property or adjacent lots they own. The ordinances were drawn up by the Planning Commission after requests were received from owners of motor homes wanting to house the vehicles on their property. "I don’t want i t to end up looking like bams in everybody’s backyard," Mayor Ivan Snyder said. Snyder also said he feared many of the larger buildings would be used as workshops for people to "tear up cars”. Police already receive a number of complaints about people working on cars late at night, he said. Richard Shaw, city attorney, said he tended to agree with Snyder. Council members unanimously voted to not change the present ordinances and declined to send the proposal back to the Planning Commission. The council also heard a new ordinance which would change the signing regulations for commercial businesses. A public hearing on the proposal will be held October 26. .. . : . The new ordinance was designed to allow businesses to erect free standing signs in areas such as W. State St. where remodelled houses are being converted into offices. Two requests to rezone a series of lots along Woodlawn Ave. from residential to apartment-office zoning were referred to the Planning Commission. Richard Shaw, city attorney, responding to a letter from the Hastings Library Board, said he believed the board could not invest city funds in mutual funds to earn higher interest because it would conflict with stale statutes. Those statutes require investments be made in banks or savings and loan associations. The Library Board had hoped to invest money in higher interest Money Market Mutual Funds h hopes of allieviating a cash shortfall in its budget. Donald Spencer, operator of Hastings Wrecker Service, passed out a letter to council saying he believed the city should not do business with Gary’s Wrecker Service because the service was not complying with city zoning ordinances.

It is a department of the Wesleyan Church program and is usually made up of children in the 4 to 12 year age group. However the local group has been enlarged at both ends. The children have many opportunities to earn credits by attendances to all meetings, bringing other children, learning Bible verses, etc. Also assuming home respon­ sibilities, such as doing dishes, dusting and performing other duties to help their parents get credits and the children earn badges, scarves, etc. Most of the children are picked up by the church bus. which is driven by Eugene Taggart, who sometimes has to make two trips to bring than all in. Mike Hull is his assistant driver. This coming Saturday, September 26, a group of about 20 children and leaders from last years CYC will board the bus at the church at 10a.m. and will go to Detroit where they will attend the Tiger baseball game, a reward these CYC ers won last year.

The three weathered “Welcome to Hastings" signs which greet people as they enter the city limits are currently un­ dergoing maintenance facelifts. The Hasting.s Jaycees. Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce and Hastings High School's Art Department have volunteered labor, paint and stencils needed to restore the signs. Jaycees member Bill Barry said restoration efforts began earlier this month and should be completed by October 3. "The Jaycees have possibly two crews of three men who are removing all of the rust from the signs and posts." he said. "They’ll then prime and re-paint them with paint supplied by the Chamber of Commerce." Barry said Jaycee volunteers will main­ tain the signs, with Chamber-supplied paint, on a yearly basis "so they won’t be such ar. eyesore." "What will really be a big help are the stencils provided by the high school’s Art New phone books are ‘new size9 Michigan Bell's 1981-82 Hastings area telephone directories — currently being distributed to area customers -- are bigger and more colorful than ever before. Richard L. Strauss, local Michigan Bell manager, said this year’s phone books have been converted from their former 6-by-9-inch page size to a new 7-by-ll-inch format. “By converting our smaller books to this larger format, we are able to standardize many of our graphics and advertising procedures and reduce paper consumption as well," Strauss explained. This year's phone books are more colorful with the addition of bright red to Yellow Pages advertisements. Two-color ads have been introduced in about one-half of Michigan Bell's directories statewide and they have been favorably received by both advertisers and consumers, Strauss noted. Full-page advertisements are another new addition to this year’s Yellow Pages. The larger ads "enable advertisers to provide more information to consumers," Strauss said. The following local residents were recently sentenced in 56th District Court by Judge Gary Holman: — Hal W. Gordenski, 30, Nashville, fine and costs for consuming intoxicants in public. — Geraldine Christine Kuzava, 42, Hastings, fine and costs for disobeying stop sign. — timothy Ray Koutz, 19, Hastings, fine and costs for no proof of insurance. — William S.

MICHIGAN Consumers Power to show new plant An opportunity to see how electricity is generated is available to the public this week at an Open House at the Consumers Power Company’s J.H. Campbell Unit 3 Plant. The one-year-old plant produces enough electricity to power a city of 350,000 persons. It is located 35 miles west of Grand Rapids between Holland and Grand Haven, just inshore from Lake Michigan, and is the largest coal-fired electric generating plant anywhere on the big lake. Visitors can tour the 25-story structure Friday through Sunday, October2-4, from 10 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. The walking tour takes about an hour and visitors will be assisted by plant employees. Ample parking will be provided. A plant brochure and refresh­ ments will be offered at the end of the tour. Visitors will wear hard hats and safety glasses. Comfortable shoes are advised. News media will see the plant on Thur­ sday, October 1, at a 9.-30 a.m. briefing. Area government, community association, in­ dustry and business leaders will tour the plant in the early afternoon and Consumers Power employees and families will be guests in the late afternoon and evening. Ten communities that are members of the Michigan Public Power Agency (MPPA) and two rural electric cooperatives own a nortion of Campbell 3. MPPA owns 4.8 percent of the plant, Northern Michigan Electric Cooperative 1.26 percent and Wolverine Electric Cooperative .63 percent. Representatives of those organizations are TO THE EDITOR "Breathes there the man with soul so dead who never to himself hath said. This is my own. my native land?" If you never have said this and been thank­ ful for your land and freedom you had better do it now. We are about to lose our great freedom. The reason is this. The Genocide Treaty will soon, at any time, be brought up in the Senate. Sen. Proxmire, chairman erf Foreign Relations Committee said he is all for it. It has been defeated for many years but they hope and expect i t to pass this time. What is so terrible about the treaty? It practically annuls our U.S. constitution, including the Bill of Rights. It would deprive American citizens of the right of trial by an American jury, freedom of speech and the press. If you were accused of causing mental harm to someone, you could be arrested by United Nations police, hauled in chains to a foreign country, and forced to stand trial before an International Court. If guilty you shall be punished in any way seen fit. However if you are a communist, you could liquidate a million political enemies because political crimes are not covered. The internationalists think they can push this communist hoax through the Senate, (a house vote is not needed) when the Senate is al its busiest, without any opposition. It could be brought up for a vote at any time.

The model is threeeighths of an inch to the foot. A videotape of the plant’s coal-handling equipment is another stop. Visitors will see the turbine room and then proceed to the massive boiler room to peer through special viewing ports where pulverized coal and air are burned to produce temperatures of 2,100 degrees Fahrenheit. The tour will also in­ clude the plant’s laboratory where sophisticated coal, oil and water chemistry tests are completed. They will also observe the computerized control room and its video display terminals that show how the plant is functioning. The company will also have an electric car and a photo exhibit from the construction period on display. The cooling water discharge viaduct, where hundreds of thousands of gallons of water cascade from the plant each minutes, will be a highlight of the tour, and an ex­ planation of the plant’s cooling water deepwater intake and discharge system will be provided. This system protects aquatic life and was responsible for some $65 million of the plant’s almost $600 million cost. According to John F. Gramza, plant superintendent, more than 60 of the plant’s 150-member work force have volunteered to assist at the tours. Campbell Unit 3 Plant can be reached via US-31 between 1-96 and M-45, and by Lake Shore Drive between Holland and Grand Haven. From US-31, travel west on Croswell Street from West Olive to Lake Shore. Signs will be posted directing visitors to the en­ trance.

Thursday October Police tool has “face” value — By Elaine Gilbert Dana Steidle can reproduce just about any kind of imaginable face. Yet, he’s neither an artist nor a plastic surgeon. Steidle is a detective on the Hastings City Police force and the medium he uses to create faces is called an Identi Kit. "I can’t draw a straight line with a ruler," he jokes. But with the kit, Steidle is able to create detailed composite pictures of suspects in crime cases, based on descrip­ tions from victims or witnesses. The Identi-Kit has the capability of producing six billion possible combinations of faces. Police Chief William Brandt calls the kit ‘ ‘the best investigative tool we’ve ever spent money on.” The kit, manufactured by Bangor Punta, can not be purchased outright. Instead, Hastings police lease the kit for a yearly charge of $360. With timeliness being an important factor in in­ vestigating, the Identi-Kit eliminates the waiting involved in getting an appointment with an artist. Steidle can have a composite picture completed within 30 minutes to two hours, depending on the witness’ or victim’s ability to dispense information. "Prior to getting the kit, we either went without any composite or we would have to get an artist from the State Police in Lan­ sing...so most of the time we went without," said Steidle, a member of the Hastings force since 1973 who has been a detective for the past two years. The Hastings* Police Identi-Kit is the only one of its kind in the county. The nearest one is in Kalamazoo, so Steidle said Hastings Police have offered to let the Barry County Sheriffs Department and the Hastings State Police team use it. “The State Police have used it three times," he said. The Hastings force has been leasing the Identi-Kit since April and since then Steidle has made 13 official composite pictures. Steidle show, o nearly (ini,had comp- rite (one he mode for practice). The only None have led directly to arrests yet, but feature missing is the mouth. then the cases aren’t closed yet either. Steidle attended a two-day training seminar at Wayne State University in Detroit to learn the basic techniques in making composite pictures with the IdentiKit. In addition to that initial training, he has spent countless hours practicing at home to perfect his skills. "I’ve put faces together of relatives and then looked at their pictures (photographs) to see if I’m right," Steidle said. The Identi-Kit is comprised of hundreds of pictures of facial features, indexed and coded according to each specific part of the face. There are sections on noses, eyes, eyebrows, chins, lips, hair, etc. In the kit, each individual nose, for in­ stance, has been placed on a separate trasparent piece of plastic called a “foil.” Because each foil is coded, the use of composite pictures from the ki t can have farreaching potential should it appear necessary to search for the alleged suspect in other states or countries. That's because police departments in other states and foreign countries that have the same kit can build an exact duplicate of the same face that Steidle has created minutes before in Hastings. All Steidle has to do is transmit the codes of his composite through the police wires to other agencies. When Steidle is creating a composite, he starts with a chin line foil and adds each distinguishing facial feature one by one. The finished composite is actually a series of foils that have been overlayed to form a complete face. If a witness or a victim is not satisfied with the nose on the composite, Steidle can change it ina matter of seconds with another nose in the Identi-Kit. And he has a wide variety from, which to chose—anything from a crooked, broken nose to a flat, broad one. The same applies to other facial charac­ teristics. Eyes in the kit range from the most ’fSTL*ome of lh* hoir”Yl« that °'O included In the Identisinister, squinted mean looking eyes one can can imagine to eyes that are wide open and he, u’“ to mok« Picture, of alleged suspect,, based on descriptions from victims or witnesses.

Braboy The minority-owned Kent, Barry & Eaton Connecting Railway, which runs through Hastings, faces an uncertain future due to a proposed 35 percent cut in aid from Lansing for short-line state railroads, a KBE official said Wednesday. “We don’t realty know if there will be a 35 percent cutback because there's presently no agreement between any subsidized (railroad) carriers and the Department of Transportation," said Richard Shaw, chief accountant for KBE. “All contracts will expire at midnight tonight (Wednesday), but we do plan to continue our operations at the moment.” Shaw stressed. The State Transportation Commission ordered the budget cut Wednesday following an earlier DOT proposal The $2.1 million cut will leave $4.1 million for DOT-financed rail freight programs in the next six months. Slashing raiiroad subsidies is one State Legislature method to help trim Michigan's S135 million 1980-81 budget deficit. State lawmakers were expected to approve the cut in order to balance the fiscal year which ended Wednesday. “We’ve been constantly reducing our subsidies since opening in June 1979 and our present yearly funding level is $500,000," Shaw said. KBE officials currently are exploring options to battle the effect a 35 percent budget cut would entail, Shaw said. "We're looking right now at what can be done. My guess is the company would operate on a -weekly basis instead of the present as-needs basis. And forced cutting of personnel is obviously not preferable because we have a rather small force of nine full-time and two part-time workers," he explained.

Test atHHSThe National Educational Development Tests (NEDT) will be given to interested sophomores of the Hastings High School on October 15, The NEDT includes two kinds of tests. The first, the test of learning ability, measures how readily a person can learn new in­ formation. The second, the lest of educational development, measures the degree to which a person has developed his ability to in­ terpret, evaluate, and un­ derstand the subjects he studies in school. The results of the test are given to each student and this information can be helpful in comparing an individual’s progress with others who have taken the test in the nation.

The proceeds for the test will go to the Science Research Associates. proximately 80 KBE car loads of corn each year, said, “We certainly need the raillines and certainly went to have KBE continue. Bui because of the budget cutback, KBE might find that it just won’t be able to con­ tinue.” Fox said his company presently uses KBE on an "as-needs” basis. “As far as service is concerned, if we can continue only needing KBE when necessary, then we’ll be OK.” he said. When questioned what would happen if KBE switches to a weekly basis. Fox said, “Well, that would be all right, too. because sometimes we don’t need them every week. But we still hope that KBE survives because we obviously need them very much." Barbara Clark, executive director of Michigan Rail Users & Supporters Association, a Lansing-based railroad lobby, said, “The association is very concerned about the budget cut of lailruad subsidies, but we’re kind of at a loss as to what our course should be short of going straight to the governor.” “We’re fighting it, but there’s really nothing to fight for because federal and state subsidies have been reduced over the years to practically zero. There’s simply no money,” Clark continued. The association is planning a meeting next Thursday between transportation officials Hastings sheriff seeks local MSA memberships Enabling local citizens to join the fight agairst crime is the goal behind a current memuership drive by Hastings Sheriff David Wood for the Michigan Sheriffs’ Association. By pledging $20 or more to the Michigan Sheriffs Education Fund, concerned citizens can become an associate member of the MSA while also helping to fight crime on a local level, Wood said Monday. Ill but $5 of a $20 contribution is tax deductable, he added. "Associate membership is reserved for citizens who desire to help us build a more effective and responsive law enforcement system in Michigan,” Wood said. Associate members will receive the following benefits: a 1982 membership card, a Michigan Sheriffs window decal, $2,500 accidental death and dismemberment in­ surance and a year’s subscription to “The Sheriffs Star”. All Savers Tax-Free Savings Certificates Now available... and railroad representatives to discuss the cutback, Clark said. “Hopefully, we’ll be able to sit down and learn a little bit more about how to handle this situation.” Clark added. "All I know right now is that many state railroads will be terminating their services (Wednesday) night. We’re going to continue trying to reach the governor by encouraging joint discussions, but so far it’s not having any effect." Clark explained that the cutback will result in a battle between the railroads and the State Highway and Education depart­ ments. "Because of funding cutbacks in all areas of the state budget, the rail program is being pitted against huge lobbies such as education and highways," she said. "The state railroad budget is less than 1.2 percent of the total transportation fund. However, trucks weighing over 50 thousand pounds cause 80 percent of the highway road damges while paying only 12 percent of the users fees. These are reasons why railroads should receive more of the transportation funds.” Besides KBE, other railroads affected by the cut include: Michigan Northern; Ann Arbor Railroad; Mkplgan Interstate; Conrail; Hillsdale County Railway Co.; Lenawee. County'Railroad Co.; Tuscola 4 Saginaw Bay Railway Co.; Straits Car Ferry Corp, and Grand Trunk Western Railroad. ____ NBH Earn up to $2,00000 Tax-Free Interest!

"The (fund) aids us locally, too, in areas such as personnel relations, public information and safety education,” he explained. “Membership dues are used to upgrade, professionalize and train sheriffs and deputies to better protect the men. women and children of Barry County,’’ Wood stressed.

Braboy Carelessness, wood burning equipment and unattended grass fires are the prime causes of area fires, according to several local firefighters. And the firefighters are reminding citizens throughout National Fire Prevention Week October 4-10 to be use restraint and caution when it comes to preventing fires. "Simple carelessness is the biggest cause for (ires in Hastings," according to Hastings Fire Chief Roger Carte, who assumes his post today (October 1) following the retirement of former chief Donald Sothard. “Basic proper maintenance of wiring, wood burning stoves and chimneys would probably prevent a lot of fires,” Carte said. “If people would just be a little more careful, then there wouldn't be so many fires.” Caris said the Hasting department has made 127 fire runs so far this year, compared to a total of 381 fires in Barry County last year resulting in property damage of more than one million dollars. While aiding Caris demonstrate fire prevention tips in hte home, Sothard said, "More than 75 percent of all fires are preventable." Sothard urged residents to be especially carefill of fires originating in the kitchen, chimney or beck oom. "Every home should have a 2% pound extinguisher in the kitchen or furnace room,” Sothard advised. “Beware of all grease fires and immediately cover the flaming pot or pan and remove it from the burner. Baking grease is also a good ex­ tinguisher for grease fires.” Having a planned escape route te an ex­ cellent precaution for homeowners, Sothard said. “Just take time out and figure which would be the quickest way out of a house if it’s on fire," he explained. “And once you get out, stay out. And take a head count right afterwards to find out if anyone is mtesiig." Delton Fire Chief Bob Chamberlain said The Hastings Banner - Thursday October 4,1981 - Page 5 wood burning equipment has been the major cause of Delton area fires this year. “We've bad 75 runs so far this year and for the last two or three years about 15 percent of all fires have been directly related to wood burning equipment,” Chamberlain said. The Delton Fire Department will be hosting a fire safety talk regarding wood burning equipment October 15 for area cub scouts and their parents, Chamberlain said. “We’ll be stressing wood burning precautions such as keeping the equipment dean, not to let equipment become over­ heated, proper installation, using seasoned wood and answering any other questions they may have.” Chamberlain also recommended the in­ stallation of smoke detectors as an automatic warning against home fires. "They’ve constantly proven they're worth the cost,” he said. In the Middleville area, grass fires are the most common problem, according to Mid­ dleville Fire Chief Bob Kenyon. "This year it’s been mostly grass fires. We had 18 grass fires in 18 days back in April," he said. Kenyon said the rash of grass fires resulted from persons leaving burning trash or manure unattended. “They just don't enough caution when it comes to burning trash outdoors," he said. . Etkicating youngsters at an early age in fire prevention isa prime departmental goal, Kenyon explained. “Sometime during Fire Prevention Week we'll be having kindergarten and first graders visit the station in small groups and start them off with the usual song and dance about playing with matches,” he said. Another planned activity is visiting elementary schools to demonstrate a fire truck’s capability and answering any questions, Kenyon added. nJii’b,”0’'j]9’ Kiw°™1 oHic«r» ar* (from loft) Gordon Ironsidojr.. trrauror; Noil Bnwndlo. prosidonf-oloct; Don Hamilton. presidant; and Arthur Stoobv secretary. •' Charter member Donald Fisher was given a standing ovation when he was recognized for his 40 years of membership.

Braboy “The saying now is, *4-H is much more than just cows *n* cookin’.” Kethy Walters, youth agent of the Barry County Cooperative Extension Service, is proud of the motto which best sums up the growing impact of 4-H chibs in rural com­ munities. And as. 4-H clubs throughout the United States prepare to celebrate their organization during National 4-H Week, October 4-10, Walters said the popular “farm kids only” image of 4-H is a thing of the past “It used to be that 4-H seemed to involve only agricultural projects and farm kids. And that’s where the saying ‘4-H is much more thar. just cows *n’ cookin" comes in,” she said. "4-H has grown a lot in the past couple of years and now involves city kids as well." Among the 881 Barry County 4-H club members, 24F are farm youths compared to 633 non-farm area children, Walters noted. But be they from the farm or the city, children joining 4-H are searching fot an equal chance at educational goals and skills, she said. • “4-H gives all youths an opportunity to learn about a lot of different subjects and developing certain skills in leadership, citizenship and sportsmanship while going through the program,” she explained. For National 4-H Week, Walters said Barry County club members will be "en­ couraged to do something special as a group such as a community service project, a display or activity to let more people in Barry County become aware of 4-H or just a Jaycee dance, Oct. 3 Hostings Fire Chief Roger Coris demonstrates how to overload an electrical out­ let with tod many extension cords. Such a fire danger should be avoided not only during National Fire Prevention Week (October 4-10), but year-round as well, Coris says. Patrick Gilmore was mode a member of the Kiwanis Legion of Honor for his 25 years of service. A fund-raising dance for the Hastings Jaycee Auxiliary is set for October 3 at the U.A.W. Hall in Hastings on Woodlawn Avenue. Barry County band “Free Flight” will perform at the dance. Band members in­ clude lead singer Rick Bump of Woodland, guitarist Mark Rogers of Lake Odessa, Hastings resident Gary Metzger on guitar and drummer Ben Healy of Dowling. The dance is open to the community and tickets will be sold in advance and at the door.

"We have 252 craft projects going on right now involving macrame, string art, ceramics, rag hooking, leather work and others." Other popular projects include food preparation (baking, freezing and canning), clothing (sewing, tailoring and alterations), horses (riding styles, grooming and feeding tips) and goats. In addition to the more popular projects, two new clubs are also offering? instruction in sewing and clowning. Walters said anyone interested in these or other projects can contact her at 948-W9 Since beginning her role as Barry County 4-H youth agent in June, the petite, 26-yearold Coldwater native said she has been impressed with local children. "There's a lot of really good youths in­ volved in 4-H in this county,” she said. "The motto is to 'make the best better' and I think the 4-H club models strive to prove that" Walters cited the Barry County 4-H Council as an “invaluable" source of help to her. “The council give recognition to leaden and 4-Hers and to promote the 4-H program in the county. And they play an important role in setting guidelines and priorities," she ex­ plained. “I’m really proud to be part of 4-H,’ she continued. "Overall, it helps youths to become educated, well-rounded people and that's what .it’s all about." Provincial House holds “Thank You” celebration — The tables were turned Wednesday at Provincial House and Rosemary Shaffer who usually plans all the parties and special events was surprised to find herself as the guest of honor at a “thank you” celebration, staged by patients and staff. “You make our world Rosie!” was the greeting emblazoned on a banner across the doorway of the dining room. Joyce Weinbrecht, administrator of Provincial House in Hastings, said the surprise party for Rosemary was everyone's way of saying ‘thanks’ for al! the special things she does. “She's always keeping track of all the birthdays and special events and arranging parties for everybody else. We felt it was time that we did something for her.” The 113 residents gave her a corsage and the staff, which also numbers over 100, planned and brought refreshments. Many also bestowed Rosemary with gifts. Cute posters, even one made by residents, decorated the room. Rosemary has been employed at Provincial house for five years. She served as a nurse’s aid for about a year and a half and has been the activities director for three and a half years. Rosemory Shaffer, activities director, was honored Wednesday at Provincial House for all the thoughtful gestures and parties she plans for others. �The Hastings Benner Thursday October 1,1981 ■ Page 6 Neta Armintrout Guy H.

Presbyterian Church Women gather for overnight retreat Women of the Presbyterian Church held their annual overnight retreat at the YMCA Camp lodge Tuesday evening, September 22 through noon Wednesday. The women gathered for a potluck dinner at tables decorated with fall vegetables and flowers. In charge of the arrangements was the retreat committee from the Women’s Association: Carolyn Curtis, Margaret DeCamp, Sandy Janies, Elizabeth Un­ derwood and Carol Vos. After dinner, two lively song sessions were led by Earl McMullin and his daughter, Earlene Baum, with guitar and accordian. The evening was highlighted with a Bible study on the Lord’s Prayer, from Matthew 6, presented by EAia Smith of Nashville, a Uy leader in the United Methodist Church. Margaret DeCamp concluded with thoughts on prayer and meditation. The leader for the morning session was the Rev. Fred Cunningham of Albion, paster of lhe First Presbyterian Chirch there. He is currently writing his thesis for his Doctor of Ministries degree on the srtject of the spiritual nurture of candidates for the ministry. He pursued his study of spirituality from both Protestant and Roman Catholic sources. Rev. Cunningham directed the group on an exploration of the topic, "God-Centered Prayer”. He was also a guest at the luncheon which closed the retreat.

The rung of a ladder was never meant to rest upon, but only to hold a man’s foot long enough to put the other higher. Rod Lawrence, the guest artist at the Thornapple Valley Ducks Unlimalted Banquet this past year, has been named the Michigan Wildlife Artist of the Year. His painting of a pair of ruffled grouse in the northern Michigan woods was chosen the best of 83 paintings entered in the second annual statewide art competition conducted by MUCC. (See photo this page) Your most important piece of hunting ecpjipment is not your gun or bow, your hunter-orange hat, your license, your duck decoys or your dog. It’s your body. And it’s the one essential element in a good hunting season that you’re most likely to neglect. Michigan State University Extension Wildlife Specialist Glenn Dudderar points out that heart attacks, not firearms, are sometimes the leading cause of huntingrelated deaths. Though heart attacks can occur in persons who are in good shape and conditioned to strenuous activities, they more often strike ordinarily inactive people who go out in the field and overdo. Sprains and strains and other less serious injuries are also more likely to happen to a person who’s out of condition. To get ready for hunting or any other strenuous outdoor activity, it’s a good idea to get into a conditioning program that gradually builds entrance. If you aren’t already exercising regularly, a checkup by your physician is advisable. With your doctor's help, you can determine your present level of fitness and design a con­ ditioning program suited to it. It may begin with vigorous walking or slow jogging to work up to more taxing activities. If you hunt with a dog, take the animal with you when you train outdoors. Chances are it needs a little conditioning, too. And you’ll be less likely to cheat and skip your workouts if the dog gets into the routine, too. Dogs can be very insistent, persistent reminders. Getting in shape makes hunting more enjoyable, as well as safer. You’re more likely to have a good time tramping through the woods and fields if you’re feeling good and breathing easily. Huffing and puffing and getting tired out early in the day can turn an outing into a chore. Problems often begin when someone who has kept warm through strenuous activity has to slow down or stop. A person can quickly become so chilled that his fingers get clumsy and he can’t think clearly. Proper clothing — including foot gear to keep your feet dry and warm, headgear, gloves or mittens, a moisture-absorbing layer next to your skin to wick perspiration away and an exterior wind-breaking layer — minimizes the danger of chilling. Basic emergency equipment includes matches in a waterproof container, a knife, some high energy food, a whistle, some string, a small flashlight, and perhaps a few bandages and a little antiseptic. With the matches and kindling shaved with the knife, you can light a fire. 'Tie heat can warm you and dry out wet clothing. Making the fire gives you something meaningful to do and provides you with a means of signaling for help. There’s also a psychological factor: a cozy fire takes some of the threat out of yotr predicament The food will help you get. warm and keep your spirits up. The whistle is for signaling for help. It doesn’t get hoarse or run out of ammunition or fuel, It will operate under all guts of weather conditions, and it doesn't sound like anything else you’re likely to hear in the woods. It won’t be mistaken for any naturally occurring soiaids or the sounds of someone hunting. The string is helpful in first aid, emergency repairs, shelter building and a host of other chores. The bandages are a convenience to keep a small wound from becoming troublesome. To this list of gear, add a compass — but only if you know bow to me it If you don’t, it may just get you into more trouble. Heading in the wrong direction when you think you know where you're going can lead to disaster, and make you harder to find. The key to getting out of trouble in the wilds is to keep your head. If you realize you're lost, or if you get hurt and can’t get back on yotr own, stay calm. -Find a dry, sheltered spot, if possible, and get busy making a fire. Then stay with it You’re less likely to get hirt and much easier to find if you're not charging around the woods in a blind panic.

AWANA CLUBS Special Auto Rates For Young Marrieds and other good drivers THIS PHARMACY IS DEVOTED TO BETTER GMAC Fhanchg Available Allegan State Game Area reports 7,000 geese now using the Fennville refuge. Willison says the biggest problem the DNR has with raccoon season is trespassing. He urges hunters to get permission from several farmers in an area you wish to hunt, or even areas that your dogs may wander into. The season opened officially at 8 a.m. Heavy cover is still a problem for squirrel and grouse hunters. Willison savs a leaf fall is needed before hunters will find success. Stuart leads Saxon golfers Todd Stuart fired a nine-hole 36, four shots better than anyone else and 10 shots better than the top finisher for Middleville, leading the Saxon golfers to a non-conference win. All six Saxons scored better than the top Middleville finisher on the Hastings Country Club course. Saxon coach Bob Carlson said that good weather on Thursday, helped produce the good scores. Mark Brown recorded the second highest score of the match collecting a 38. Tom Finnic was next in with a 40 and Mark Larsen was next at 41. Pat Hudson with a 43 and Stu Spyker's 44 rounded out the Saxon scoring and the top six in the match. Middleville’s top scorer was Jeff Chapman who carded a 46. Tom Will was the next highest Trojan with a 48. Bill Ci&ler’s 51, Rolfe Timmerman’s 55, Del Buxton's 57, and Bob Bekkering's 58 rounded out the Mid­ dleville scoring. The Saxon Junior Varsity squad also carded a victory over the Trojans. Craig Mawer and Mike McLean carded a 43 and a 47 respectively to lead the junior Saxons and the match. Brian Bekkering, the top Trojan finisher, and Saxon Roy Stout were were next with 48's. Yesterday, Sept. 30, was the last day to fish for trout in local designated trout streams. Willison reports that bluegill fishing is improving on area lakes due to water tem­ perature changes. Crookec, Gun, and Jones Lake all report good bluegill catches in 8 to 10 feet of water with worms and crickets. Gun Lake reports that perch fishing is picking up. Best success has been in deep channels with small perch minnows as bait. Today. Thursday. Oct. 1 marks the opening of bow and arrow deer season and raccoon season. Brent Willison, DNR conservation officer for Barry County, says hunters will find success on state lands and on public access farms. The alfalfa fields attract deer at this time of year he reports, but remember to ask the farmer for the permit. Deer hunters can expect to see a lot of deer this fall. Two mild winters in a row, plus excellent deer habitat in many areas of the state, have produced a very large deer herd. Glenn Dudderar, extension wildlife specialist in Eaton County, says the total number of deer in the state is the largest in recent years. Based on estimates of herd size and composition, DNR wildlife biologists expect this year's harvest to be the largest ever.

Pastor David Garrett of the First Church of God in Hastings wields the shovel at a ground breaking project for a new addition at the church. (photo supplied) The First Church of God, located at 1330 N. Broadway in Hastings, is making plans to add about 2,100 square feet of space to its present building. Ground was broken for the project on Sept. 13. The new addition will increase the seating capacity to 250 in the church sanctuary. A new pastor’s study and a choir room are included in the expansion plans. Church members will be doing most of the construction under the guidance of a licensed Delton woman celebrates 1OOth Catherine Pasche of Delton was showered with cards, flowers, plants, and other goodies on her 100th birthday Wednesday. Mrs. Pasche even received a congratulatory letter from President Ronald Reagan. Batches of hand-drawn cards by elementary students were delivered to her by Delton teacher, Mrs. Trantham. Mrs. Pasche enjoyed an early birthday celebration Sunday when family members took her out for dinner and out-of-town guests brought her a chocolate torte (her favorite dessert) from a Chicago bakery. At 100, Mrs. Pasche enjoys good health, tends to her many plants, cooks her own meals, and still lives in her own home. A native of Chicago, she and her late husband, William, moved to Delton in 1944. For yezrs she rented boats to fishermen at her property on Lake 21. Many who rented from her still stop back to visit and make sure that she’s doing alright. One such couple, a Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, sent her a beautiful bouquet of flowers for her birthday. Mrs. Pasche has one son, Frank of Chicago; two grandsons, Kirk of Battle Creek and Frank Jr. of Chicago; four great­ grandchildren; and one great-great grand­ son Travis Tudor, nlne-months old, of Bedford. Two sons, Herman and William, are deceased. Rosemary Shaffer, activities director, was honored Wednesday at Provincial House for all the thoughtful gestures and parties she plans *or others.

"We are more than willing to submit to binding fact finding if no progress is made." Kietzmann said the teachers want in­ tensive bargaining and are willing to be locked up with the board's negotiating team until a settlement is reached. Being locked up with the board was one of several recommendation made by the Crisis Committee, to be put into effect on Sep­ tember 30. In addition to not volunteering for extra duty, the committee recommended that teachers be in the buildings only during required working hours, 8:15 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. (7:45 a.m. to2:45 p.m. at Pleasantview elementary). Where possible, teachers were requested to leave the buildings at lunch hours. AU teachers were requested to attend the school board meeting at Pleasantview School on October 12. The committee urged teachers not to attend games and other school events. Under a list of Crisis Committee respon­ sibilities issued to the teachers were the following items: — "Publish high cost to district of professional negotiator. — "Create anti-negotiator publicity in press, handouts, etc.. — "Address school board directly to bypass negotiator. — "Use well respected teachers to comment and question. — "Hold association meetings immediately prior to negotiation sessions near the meeting place, forcing the board to go through or around the meeting. — "Hold association sit-in while bargaining is going on. — “Pot-luck for association unity and discussion. — "Copy names and addresses of first hour or elementary class list for association mailing lists for possible needed parental contacts. — "Run a teacher information booth on “Main Street" on afternoons and weekends, and conferences. — "Canvass the community with fliers andor questionaires. — “Utilize non-teaching employees to aid cause. (Secretaries, bus drivers, itc., who also do not have contract) — “Organize and utilize a phone tree (for information).” “We are very concerned about the education of Hastings school children," Peter DeDedeer, HEA vice-president and a member of the negotiating team, said. “We are taking every possible action to apply pressure to get a contract without disrupting classes." DeDecker said that they realize the district is facing financial problems not of its own making. Sorby said that the HEA membership was “disappointed" that the board is using an outside negotiator. “In our present economic crisis,” she said, “how can they defend spending $8,200." The board has hired Kevin Harty, a labor attorney with the Michigan School Board Associathn, to assist in negotiations with all of the school bargaining groups. George Wibalda, a member of the board's negotiating team, said the board as a whole felt the contracts with all school employees needed to be updated. "People may have elected us to the board," Wibalda said, “but we don't feel we have the expertise to negotiate a technical contract." He said that the contracts needed the at­ tention of a labor attorney to update the language and for legal problems.

Johnston Hastings teachers and the school board are apparently inching closer to a contract this week as they head toward a meeting on October 29 with the state mediator. Commenting on last Thursday's negotiating session. Kevin Harty, negotiator for the Board of Education, said he felt there were good discussions. "While no agreements were reached," Harty said, " we’re getting closer to a contract.” Robert Nicholson, negotiator for the Hastings Education Association, contacted Harty, Wednesday, and asked for another meeting, prior to October 29 without the mediator. "We’re willing to meet if there's something to do.” Robert Miller, spokesman for the school board, said. Harty said the board is in the process of reviewing things that have been discussed. He added, however, that Nicholson, at the last meeting, had said he would contact the mediator. "We re not saying we won’t meet," Harty said. “We re not taking the hard line. The discussions have been amicable.” Friday, the board issued a statement detailing some of its contract proposals. The board said it has offered the teachers a nine percent salary increase in 1982-83 and another nine percent raise in 1983-84, provided there is a wage freeze this school year. Their statement noted that Hastings ad­ ministrators, custodians, food service em­ ployees and non-union personnel have already agreed to freeze their wages for the 1981-82 school year. Expanding on the board's statement. Miller said that the board has agreed con­ tinue the salary increment schedule, which provides increases in steps and to continue "longevity” increases during the first two years of the contract. Longevity increases are given after 15 and 20 years of em­ ployment. Miller added that present em­ ployees would be “grandfathered" into the contract so they didn’t lose the benefit. Miller said the board also agreed to pay all health and dental premiums for all three years. Previously, teachers paid a portion of dental premiums. Mariam Sorby. president of the Hastings Education Association, said they would make no comment items being negotiated. Nicholson said that the board did not give a complete picture of the proposal. “Their proposals have been in package form, as have ours,” Nicholson said, "which means, you buy all of it or none of it. The membership unanimously rejected it. You have to remember, we're not picking out one item. It's a total package, and as a total package, we have said no." Nicholson added that the settlement is going to be resolved at the bargaining table. "What we need is a contract settlement not negotiation in the newspaper.” Nicholson said. In a separate statement. Will.am Baxter president of the board, explained the board s thinking in hiring Harty, who is a labor relations attorney with the Michigan Association of School Boards. “The Hastings Area Board of Education for the first time this year since the advent of public employee negotiations hired a professional labor relations expert — an attorney — to review all their employee contracts and to negotiate a new master agreement with the teacher’s association. The cost is $8,000 plus expenses," Baxter said. Baxter said that Harty has examined the •■re contracts negotiated by the board and updated them in terms of current law and has also spent many hours relating to negotiations with the teachers. “His services for consultation without additional charge will be available after negotiations have been completed." Baxter said. We feel that these expert services have been an investment on behalf of our district.” he concluded. In remarks issued last week, Sorby said u members were “disappointed” that the board was using an outside negotiator. "In our present economic crisis." she said, "how can they defend spending $8,200." bJiSZTid,n' Vol. 126, No. 73 Hastings, Michigan Thursday, Octobers, 1981 Viking Corp, chooses to close foundry in mid-1982\ By David N. Braboy Approximately 44 union employees of the V iking Corporation’s Hastings plant will be affected with the closing of the plants foundry in mid-1982, corporation officials said Thursday. "We feel that i t’s just not a profitable thing to run a foundry in Michigan anymore,” George Hamaty, vice-president of personnel, said. Hamaty said 44 full-time employees of the United Steelworkers Union, Local 5965, will be out of work or re-located by the middle of next year. The corporation presently em­ ployers 250 full-time union workers, he ad­ ded. “We’ll be absorbing some of them in either our machine or steel shops, but we don’t know how many as of yet,” he said. A firm termination date of the foundry, which manufactures more than 600 cast iron and brass products, will be determined later this year. Hamaty said. Prime causes of the foundry’s future closing, according to Hamaty, stem from the high cost ot worker’s compensation in­ surance, the compliance with air pollution and solid waste disposal requirements and other regulations. "For every $100 an employee earns, we have to pay $17 in worker’s compensation," Hamaty said. “In comparison, a foundry in Indiana only pays $2 in insurance for every $100 earned by an employee. It has just come to a point where it’s not worth it..it’s just too expensive in the long run." Stiff regulations of the Environmental Protection Agency have also led to the plant’s closing, Hamaty stated. "The EPA says we can’t dump our brass sand in a local dump because it’s too hazardous." Hamaty said. “EPA requires brass sand to liave only 5.5 parts per million of lead in the sand and (Viking's) sand is just a shade higher at 6.0 parts per million." As a result of not licing able to locally dump the sand. ViHng has to pay $1,000 a month minimum to rent a dumpster truck and haul the sand waste to Detroit for dumping and then return to the Hastings plant, Hamaty explained. “The EPA won’t even let us dilute the sand because 1 understand that’s illegal,” he continued. “And I really don’t know why it’s considered illegal.” In a statement released to Viking em­ ployees last Friday, Corporation President Richard T. Groos said, "It is my sad duty to inform you that the decision has been made to terminate the foundry operations in Hastings sometime in mid-1982. Viking has operated a foundry in Hastings since the early 1900's, so this has been an extremely difficult decision for us.

Sothard joined the Hastings department in 1956 as a volunteer, became a full-time driver in 1961 and was named chief in 1971, succeeding Edward Tudor, the first full time chief. Special guests attending the function were fire chiefs from neighboring communities, including Don Yarger of Batde Creek, Bill Bammer of Pennfield, Tom Hardy of Hickory Corners, Jim Wickham of Woodland, Doug Yarger of Nashville and his assistant, Larry Decker, Bob Kenyon of Middleville and Bob Chamberlin of Delton. Del. sgt. Donald Fuller of the state fire marshal’s office in Lansing and Lt. Robert Ruohonen of the state fire marshal’s Paw Paw division, also attended. Ruohonen presented Sothard a letter from Capt. Wiliaim R. Rucinski, chief of the Fire Marshal Division. “Your years of service to the people of Hastings and this state in all areas of fire protection and fire safety is a record of which you can be extremely proud,’’ Rucinski said. The captain went on to say it is fitting to commend a man who has served his com­ munity so diligently. "While many profess to be dedicated to public service and the improvement of mankind, it is a disappointing reality that the majority fail to contribute as they should," H"’in8• C<"nmuni* Fu"d board o' dir—’■ Rucinski said. He added that it is a refreshing pleasure to join the fire service in paying tribute to "one who has been devoted to preserving the public health, safety and well-being of the citizens of our state.” Sothard was presented special gifts by the department volunteers and full-time em­ ployees. the Hastings Kiwanis Club, where Sothard is immediate past president, and city hall employees. He was also made a life member of the Barry County Fire Association, an organization of all county fire departments. A plaque commemorating his service was presented by Assistnat Chief Richard McLaughlin. Others speaking at the ceremonies were Tudor: Hastings Mayor Ivan Snyder; Roger Car is, the new fire chief; Councilman Frank Campbell, the new captain of the depart­ ment; Councilman Patrick Vaughan; and driver Homer Baum. Following the presentations, Howard Frost presented a history of the Hastings Fire Department, which he orginally developed for Todor’s retirement dinner. He detailed the growth of the department from the first fire company, organized in 1873. An official department was begun in 1876. Master of ceremonies was George Youngs, former department volunteer and retired pditor of the Hastings Banner. (More Photos on page 4) "We will succeed! We must succeed! ” Frank Rothfuss told volunteer campaign workers who gathered for the kick-off break­ fast Tuesday to launch tl»e Hastings Area Community Fund’s annual United Way drive. Rothfuss, president of the Hastings United Fund, reminded the audience during his opening remarks that the dozen or more youth-oriented programs funded by the community United Fund “are one of the most important elements for development of hundreds of yoimg people who are very important to the good life we have in Hastings.” Recognizing that the economy has had quite an impact on Hastings, he said cam­ paign drive volunteers “will have to work harder and be much more persuasive than they have before.” The companies and in­ dividuals who have had a successful year are going to have to dig a little bit deeper. Rothfuss said the Community Fund’s $112,017 goal for 1981-82 is $6,600 less than the proposed budget for 1981. Denis Munson, chairman of the Barry County Red Cross, was the keynote speaker at the breakfast, held in Leason Sharpe Memorial Hall. Munson stressed the key role of volunteer campaign workers. “You are so important to this community right now,” he told the group. These are priorities for the future of youth, the future of our community, and the future of our country. He also made reference to the difficult economic times. “We are going to a different situation. We are going back to basics." This means that with cuts in federal and state spending, local agencies are going to be asked to carry a greater load in providing services and helping people, he said. Using the Red Cross as an example of getting back to basics, Munson said it has been asked to get involved in geriatrics and hospice which means a need for more volunteers and funds. "We’re going Io help people take care of the elderly...Mom and Dad. “What we do this year depends on you...in this room," be said. “You can feel a well deserved thanks when you see agencies working. continued on page 3 Denis Munson, chairman of the Barry County Red Cross, gives the keynote ad­ dress.

October 8.1981 ■ Page 2 West Woodland Thought for the Week — If you can’t open a childproof pill bottle, you are an adult. The main subject of conversation the past ten days or so has been — believe it or not — the weather! Perhaps the worst weather was on Wednesday night, September 30. It was not so severe in this particular area but quite a lot of damage over in the Freeport area and south of there and around Middleville, lots of trees down and some cars badly damaged by the falling trees. Of course, there was plenty of damage by the rain, especially in the bean fields. Several told us Monday that they were afraid that their bean crop (navys especially) would be a total loss. One farmer that was harvesting his beans when he was rained out, still has 80 acres pulled and lying there on the ground. The Poortinga onion fields, especially the one on Martin Road, are completely covered with water. One field which had not been harvested was a regular lake with the onions al! floating around on top. Whether they can be saved is a question. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to two ladies of the community who lost one of their parents during the past week or so. Monday afternoon graveside service was held at the Lakeview Cemetery in Nashville for John Pippins, aged 82, father of Mrs. Cyrus James of 3491 E. Carlton Center Rd., who passed away at the home of another daughter in Shelbyville, Ind., Friday, October 2. Mr. Pippins was a long time resident of Nashville and retired some time ago from the Foundry Dept, at the E.W. Bliss Co. He had suffered from gangrene and had a leg removed last February and had been cared for by Mrs. James. He was visiting his daughter in Indiana, en route to visit his other children in Colorado, Missouri, and California, when he suffered a heart attack, a stroke and another heart attack which caused his death. He was the father of eight children, all but one of whom were present at the service, Monday. The Shelbyville undertaker was in charge of the burial with a grandson of Mr. Pippins, Leon Pippjns of Ft. Wayne, Ind., conducting the service. Mrs. Golah Rasey, 92, of Nashville, mother of Mrs. Tom Sprague of Martin Road, passed away Sunday morning, October 4 at the Provincial House in Hastings. Funeral services were conducted Tuesday at f:30 p.m. from the Kilpatrick United Brethren Church, with the pastor, Rev. George Speas, officiating, assisted by two grandsons of the deceased, Dennis Rasey, assistant pastor in by Victor Sisson charge of school administration in a church in Southern Michigan, and Tom Sprague, Jr., who is attending Dallas Theological Seminary, Dallas, Texas. Burial was in Lakeview Cemetery at Nashville with Vogt Funeral Home in charge. Mrs. Rasey’s husband, Ernie, preceded her in death in 1940. She is survived by six children, twelve grandchildren, and twenty-two great­ grandchildren.

Brent took first place, riding his 10-speed 22 miles, about 44 times around the two block course. He would have liked to have ridden farther, and be could have, but the girls who were keeping score did not want to sit there and watch Brent go past any longer.

J-Ad Member FDIC Local Births: TO THE EDITOR: The elementary school open houses have been postponed because the Hastings Education Association is telling its members not to accept dunes after 3:15 p.m. The open houses, for the convenience of parents, are held in the evening. The open houses are the first — and often the best — opportunity for parents to get into the schools, talk with teachers, and find ou*. what is going on in their childrens classrooms. This opportunity has now been denied by unilateral action of the teachers. Is this the way salaried ’‘professionals’’ are supposed to do their jobs? This clearly demonstrates how uninterested the HEA leadership is in the education of children and communication with parents. With hundreds laid off in the community, the area’s largest manufacturer asking its employees to take a pay cut, and the state making further cuts in the education budget, this is not the time for teachers to expect a raise. They should feel fortunate that most of them are still working. When the HEA. and its parent organiztion, the Michigan Association, start acting like professional organizations, they may regain the respect and support of the community. It's time for the HEA to be realistic, accept a reasonable contract, and focus on the job of education. Yours truly. Hugh S. Fullerton Julie and Robert Freeman, 520 E. Colfax, Hastings.

Braboy Various Barry County governmental departments spent between $300,000 and $400,000 in overtime expenses resulting from last week’s violent windstorm, according to County Civil Defense Director Larry Hollenbeck. Tuesday Hollenbeck said he has submitted a federal disaster aid request for overtime reimbursement for the Middleville Public Works Department, Middleville Fire Department, Barry County Road Com­ mission and Barry County Sheriff’s Department. The request, submitted to the Damage Assessment Group of Emergency Services of the Michigan State Police, is not guaranteed to provide federal disaster assistance, Hollenbeck cautioned. "We didn’t have any severe flooding, we didn't have any people or livestock killed, we didn't have any industries demolished...and all these kinds of things are required to be eligible for federal disaster relief,’’ Hollenbeck explained. The Hostings High School Bond, under the direction Jock Bender, entertained with a variety of music. Hastings United Way, continued "Go out and collect," Munson stressed. "Let’s meet the goals. He urged volunteers to ask contributors to give more than they did last year. Noting that if each of the 660 employees at Hastings Manufacturing (where he is employed) gave $1 more per week than last year, Munson said the Hastings United Fund would gain an additional $33,800 just from one company. A dollar a week is equivalent to the cost of four candy bars. "Ask them for more,” he stressed. The residential drive is slated for next Tuesday. Heading the United Fund drive is John (Jack) L. Walker, a Hastings certified public accountant. Co-chairman is Larry Ainslie, an attorney with the firm of Siegel, Hudson, Gee, Shaw and Fisher. Working with the drive chairmen are Jack Bechtold, industrial division; Mariam Sorby, schools; John Cottrell, commercial; Wade Nitz, public agencies; Harold Lewis, residential and Judge Richard Loughrin, professional.

Merriman, MD, of Hastings was among 13 Michigan Orthopedic surgeons recently accorded associate member status in the Michigan Orthopedic Society at the group's annual meeting in the Traverse City area. To achieve this membership classification the physician must have successfully completed an approved residency in or­ thopedic surgery and be currently eligible to take the national board exam. Upon successful completion of the com­ prehensive national board exam, the doctor becomes "Board Certified" and is eligible for full Active Member status. Collector, archivist speaking at annual Historical Society meeting October 15 "Simply requesting for aid doesn't mean we'll be getting it,” he said, "but it does leave an open avenue for us to get overtime reimbursement.” Hollenbeck continued. "The $300,000 to $400,000 we're requesting is simply for overtime and expenses spent in dealing with debris clearance resulting from the storm." Hollenbeck added he did not know when the overtime reimbursement request will be acted upon. Last Friday, Gov. William Milliken asked President Ronald Reagan to declare the southern half of Lower Michigan a disaster area after severe wind and thunderstorms caused millions of dollars in property and crop damage. Milliken, in a letter to Reagan, said federal aid is needed to supplement state and local efforts to clean up wind and water damage. The storms swept across Southern Michigan last Wednesday evening with 70 to 80 mph winds, leaving a majority of damaged crops and property in northern Barry County. Barry County farmers may also be eligible to apply on an individual basts for disaster loans through two non-federal agricultural programs, but not for direct federal disaster aid, a local agricultural agent said Monday. Charles Krammin, county executive director of the Barry County Agricultural Stabalization and Conservation Service (ASCS), said, "We've looked at the county damage (last weekend) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture has determined the damage wasn’t severe enough to warrant a request for any presidential declaration of disaster funds. However, Krammin added, “But there are two farmer’s programs available if an in­ dividual thought he had enough extensive damage to make application for disaster loans through the Farmer’s Home Association and the ASCS Feed, Grain and Wheat program." Under the Farmer’s Home Association program, applying farmers must meet two requirements involving a 30 percent loss of enterprise income and a credit test, Krammin said.

Area farmer Dan Fighter, who owns and rents 618 acres of corn, buckwheat and alfalfa west of Middlerille, recently said he is unsure exactly how much his crop damage costs will total. *T've got about $30,000 wrapped up just in corn," he said while walking through his 140acrestretch of wind-damaged corn. “I would say about 85 percent of my corn is gone because once they’re tipped over, it’s hard to get a combine to pick it all up." Fighter added, "One thing I could do to make up for my crop losses is to sell timber from all of my trees which blew down. “You’ve got to work with what you got."

Krammin advised interested farmers to apply for the programs after harvest time at the ASCS office, 535 West Woodlawn, Hastings. The majority of area farms damaged by the wind and thunderstorms were in Thor­ napple Township, Krammin said. Isolated damage was also reported between M-43 and Barber Road where an unoccupied mobile home in the Carlton Center Trailer Park was destroyed. Krammin said even though some farmers sustained extensive crop damage, their total losses will not be so severe following harvest time. BLAZERS UniCurl” Body Amplifier Treatment.

How much is five hundred calories? It s one cup of fried potatoes or a two-cup malt. Two glazed donuts are about five hundred calories. So is one piece of pecan, cherry, apple or peach pie with ice cream on top Individually, those extras may not sound like much. But added together over a week's time, they can make the difference between adding or subtracting one pound from your total weight If you would like to know more about counting calories and losing weight, you might want to consider joining the new weight control group sponsored by the Barry County Nutritional Council. The group will meet every Monday evening at 7:30 p.m in the dining room at the Provincial House in Hast mgs Everyone is welcome to attend and there is no charge The meetings will emphasize such things as good nutrition, stress management, exercises, recipe exchanges and behavioral Height control.

Havens was uninjured in the incident. — Four local residents were slightly injured Thursday, October I, after a car veered off Vedder Rd. at the Martin Rd. intersection, Hastings police said.

Troopers said Knauss was southbound on Norris Rd. when he momentarily took his eyes off the road, resulting in the car striking the west bank of the road. — Hastings City Police recovered •> stolen 1971 Honda motorcycle a day before the owner reported it missing from his yard. Michael Mead, 211 W. Colfax, Hastings, reported the missing cycle September 28 to the police.

He will lead the Saxons on the road against undefeated Albion on Friday. Karpinski was seven of eight passing for 140 yards and carried the ball eight times for 91 yards. Wide receiver Pat Merrill caught five passes for 120 yards and one touchdown. Bob Ellsworth added 45 yards on six totes to the Saxon cause. The Saxons are 3-1 overall, 2-1 in the Twin Valley, going into Friday’s game. Albion has not allowed a Twin Valley team to score against them yet this year and Saxon coach Don Folmar says the Hastings defense will have it’s hands full with the Albion passing attack. DELTON...9...ST. PHILIP...0 The Panthers scored nine points in the last 27 seconds Saturday, to escape with a 9-0 homecoming win over Battle Creek St. Philip. Bobby Kerns came up with a key interception setting up a field goal by Ken Francisco making the score 3-0 with 27 seconds left. Craig Pennock got into the act as St. Phil went to the air for a last ditch attempt. On the first play from scrimmage after the field goal he intercepted a St. Phil pass and returned 40 yards for a touchdown. The point after was blocked with zeros on the clock and the Panthers had a 9-0 shutout. Pennock led the offense with 149 yards rushing on 26 carries. Francisco was 0 for five passing and was sacked several times. The homecoming victory gives the Panthers a 2-2 overall record, and 1-2 in the KVA. They travel to Bangor on Friday. LOWELL...21...LAKEWOOD...0 Lowell rolled up 406 total yards and rolled over the Vikings in a Tri-River battle last Friday. The Vikings produced only 61 yards on offense. Rick Forman had 38 yards on 11 caries and Jeff Duits had 22 on three carries. Lowell had seven turnovers, three pass interceptions, four fumbles, and tossed in 150 yards in penalties for good measure, but the Vikings came up empty handed. The Vikings, 1-3 overall and 1-2 in the Tri­ River face league opponent Greenville Friday. It is the second home game of the season and includes the Lakewood High School homecoming celebration. MAPLE VALLEY...22...CARSON...6 The Lion's line play improved and they came up with an impressive homecoming win over Carson City Friday. Tom Brouke led a first quarter charge that netted 16 points and the Lions never looked back. Brooke gathered 150 yards on 25 carries. Quarterback Walt Maurer was four of eight passing for 34 yards. The Lion defense held Carson to just 59 yards on the ground and coach Dan Watson praised the defensive unit for a “good team effort". The homecoming victory gives the Lions a 2-2 record, 1-1 in the TCAA. They have filled Friday’s open slot on the schedule with a non­ conference battle at Decatur. Hastings hosting powerlifters Jim Sutherland, a teacher at Hastings High School and the owner of a weightlifting equipment business, is quickly making Hastings a center in the state for weightlifting action. Last year he organized the Stale Senior Powerlifting Meet that was held in Hastings, and this year that meet will return in ad­ dition to what was formerly known as the Juniors meet. The juniors meet, now known as the Michigan Powerlifting Championships will be held m the Hastings High School gym on Nov. 28. The senior meet will be hosted here later in the weightlifting season. Sutherland, 2257 Heath Rd., will serve as the meet director for the Nov. 28 com­ petition. Power lifters from across the state as well as local lifters are expected to participate in the action. Eleven weight classes of competition will be offered with all USPF rules and regulations to apply. There is no pre-registration, all athletes are asked to register the day of the meet at a cost of $15 per individual and $20 per team. Team rosters are due prior to weigh in. Weigh-in starts at 8 a.m. for 114 to 165 pound classes. The 181 pound class through the super heavy classes will weigh in starting at 1 p.m. Top quality powerlifting trophies will be awarded to five places in each class. Women will compete for five trophies and the master's division, over 40 years of age, will also work for five trophies. In addition, the best lifter will be recognized in both the light session and heavy session, and team trophies. Sutherland's business, the Hastings Barbell Co., will sponsor the event and offer an equipment sale the day of the event. The first real frost of the season hit Barry County last week. Foilage is still heavy but “Mother Nature" is steadily increasing her paint job with bueatiful fall colors. Brent Willison, Department of Natural Resources officer for Barry County suggests area motorists try a mini-color tour. A suggested route for capturing the color starts by heading out of Hastings south on South Broadway. Head west off Broadway on Quimby road to M-43. Jog back north until you find Goodwill Road and take that across to Whitmore. Drive north on Whitmore to Gun Lake Road and return to Hastings. Bow deer season opened Oct. 1, and a lot of hunters have been out. Willison says very few deer have been checked in at the Slate game headquarters. Deer are on the move so care should be taken when traveling through areas used as deer crossing. A four-day marathon relay run from Detroit to Lansing with a finish line rally at the State Capitol will be held from Oct. 12-15, to demonstrate support for community placement of mentally retarded persons. The event, “The Run for Community Living”, represents the cooperative efforts of 15 organizations. The main supporters are the Awareness Communication Team for Developmentally Disabled (ACT-DD), the Association for Retarded Citizens (ARC), and Kiwanis Key Clubs of Michigan. “During this year, the International Year of the Disabled Person, we want to show the abilities of mentally retarded persons and the fact that community placement is working.” explained Margaret Olesnavage. chairperson of ACT-DD. “This event dramatizes the large amount of public support for the community placement program, its widely acknowledged success, and how placement has enhanced the lives of thousands of persons throughout Michigan.” “i.i a small number of neighborhoods, group homes have been controversial because of unfounded community fears," Mrs. Olesnavage added. “We want to ensure that these local concerns do not overshadow the many positive aspects of community placement, or threaten the continued development of group homes in residential area." “Additional group homes are needed not only for people exiting state institutions, but also for mentally retarded persons who have been living with their natural parents.” The Run for Community Living will kickoff on Oct. 12 at 9:30 a.m. at the Seven Grand Shopping Center at Seven Mile and Grand River in Redford. Participants in the run will receive a ceremonial send-off from students of St. Agatha Catholic High School. Following a brief rally, relay team runners will begin their four-day race along Grand River to Lansing. A mentally retarded person, accompanied by a friend, will run one mile and pass a key Recent high winds and rains have caused some leaf fall which should make it easier for small game hunters; squirrel, grouse and woodcock. The long awaited date for the Gourdneck State Game Area is now set for Oct 10. Pheasants will be released for that date. The Fish and Wildlife Service has revised its draft of the National Waterfowl Management Plan and wil accept additional comments on it through Oct. 5. The comment period on the original draft ended May 1. Copies of the revision are available from the Director, MNMO, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Washington D.C., 20240. The purpose of the waterfowl management plan is to guide the efforts of State and Federal agencies who share a public interest in the welfare of waterfowl. The document sets forth national goals, objectives, policies, and strategies for the cooperative management of waterfowl in the United States, and provides a basis for developing detailed management plans for each of the four waterfowl flyways. It will also con­ tribute to the eventual development of a North American waterfowl management plan. to a group home and a copy of “The Com­ munity Imperative Declaration” to the next runner. "The Community Imperative Declaration" is a statement which asserts the fundamental human rights of disabled persons and the fact that all people, regar­ dless of the severity of their disabilities, are entitled to community living. The declaration has been endorsed by the Association for Retarded Citizens and other groups which work on behalf of mentally retarded persons. On October 15 at 11 a.m., relay runners will leave the Frandor Shopping Center, in Lansing between Michigan Avenue and Saginaw at 1-496, for the final run to fhe Capitol. They will be joined by the entire team from the previous three days to finish the last mile together to the Stale Capitol. Hundreds of supporters are expected to greet the runners at the East Front on the Capitol, and a rally will begin at noon. Elk teens place in putt and chip A. J.

"We have one of the finest school systems in the state, the businesses seem to be real stable downtown and we have an adequate water and sewage system.” Snyder said these are items people look for when researching a town. He added that the city has an approved flood plain study and has available workers from people laid off from other jobs. In presenting his suggestion. Snyder said that E.W. Bliss Co. was not very stable, that Hasting' Manufacturing Co. was thinking about moving a part of its operations out of the city and that Viking Corporation was closing its foundry. "I hate to see Hastings die." Snyder continued. He said the problems developed by the three major industries in the city were scaring a lot of people. "They are scaring me,” he said. "Things have been quite rosy around here until the last six months." He noted that unemployment com­ pensation will be running out in the next six months for many people laid off from E.W. Bliss Co. by Robert J. Johnston Mayor Ivan Snyder, Tuesday evening, proposed to Hastings City Council members that an industrial development committee be established to help bring new business to the city. “I suggest to the council that we form some kind of industrial committee with some council members and some citizens," Snyder said at the regular session of the council. He said citizens interested in working on such a committee should contact him per­ sonally or leave their names with the city clerk. Snyder said the committee could work with existing businesses and deal with inquiries from industries seeking sites to locate in the area. "We don't have place to refer people to when inquiries come in," Snyder said. "Sometimes we hear about them a week or two later when they are already gone.” Snyder suggested that the committee could go to the extent of making up brochures on the city to present to people who come in and to send to people that might be looking for a relocation site. Hastings Council member Mary Lou Gray suggested 'hat the council go a step further and pass a resolution supporting the efforts in the Slate Legislature to reform worker s compensation insurance. •Workers compensation is killing our business, she charged. “I think its time people rally around the people in Lansing (trying to change this)." Snyder added that regulations of the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA> and the stale Department of Natural Resources <DNR> were also hurting businesses. "I've talked to businessmen who say money is available from private sources from people willing to invest.” Snyder said "The Economic Development Corporation is also a plus." Councilman William Cusack said he would like to see several small industries em­ ploying 80 to 150 people locate here. "I don’t think they will get into here if we don't establish a committee or have one or two people working on this." Cusack said. "We also should get into the frame of mind where we would do anything we could to get them into here." Councilman Thomas Robinson noted that most cities are set ting up tax incentives fora period of time to attract industry.

Offices in...Hastings and Middleville - Member FDIC �Tne Hastings Banner - Thursday, October 15,1981 - Page? Hastings City Council races in four wards By Davit* N. Bra boy Hastings voters November 3 will be choosing candidates for two contested seats on the City Council, while also voting for three unopposed candidates for three other seats. The following is a synopsis of the candidates and their comments on the up­ coming election: FIRST WARD: Arriving in Hastings eight years ago from Detroit as personnel director, he is now assistant director of Pennock Hospital. Vaughan has been involved in various community efforts, including: — Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce vice president of professional division for three years. — Co-chairman of the 1977 and 1978 United Fund Campaign and presently serving on the fund's board. -- Member of Barry County Commission on Aging’s board of directors for the past two years. — Hastings Kiwanis Club member for past two years. Vaughan also served as First Ward Aiderman between August 1978 to January 1980. "The goal for all of us is to maintain the present level ol all community services whenever possible," Vaughan said, "such as water, roads, police and fire. We want to avoid cutting these services and I think we can. I think that’s an ideal goal.” Vaughan is a 1964 Ohio State University graduate with a bachelor of science degree in pharmacy. Before coming to Hastings, he was personnel manager of Providence Hospital in Southfield for six years. He and his wife of 18 years. Ruth, have three children:Matt, ............14, David, “ 12 and Lauri, 5. Mary E. Spackman, unopposed candidate for 4-yr. term Spackman, 61, of 420N. Congress, has lived in the Hastings area for the past 20 years. She presently is assistant vice president branch manager of Great Lakes Federal Savings. Spackman began her association with the Great Lakes office in September 1976 as branch manager, following 10>6 years working at Hastings Savings pnd Loan Association. Regarding her decision to run, Spackman said, “Without trying to sound corny, I adhere to the saying, 'Service is the rent one pays for the space he occupies on earth’. I’ve decided to run simply because I want to help Hastings and promote the welfare of its citizens." A Hastings Planning Commission member since 1974, Spackman has also served two years as commission chairman. She is a member of the Hastings Business and Professional Women’s Club member and a past president of that organization. She was president of the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce in 1977. "I've always followed council business with much interest because of my com­ munity and business background," she said. "And I just want to serve the best way I can on the council and make sure the needs of the citizens are always met." She and her husband oi 40 years, William, have three children: David. 38, in Houston; Judith. 35, and Karen, 34. both in St. Paul. They also have four grandchildren. Bennett. 40, of 609 E. Bond, said his decision to run stems from his lifelong in­ volvement with his Second Ward neigh­ borhood. “This is my neighborhood...I’ve lived here all my life and I’m just interested in taking an active part in the community," he said. "I like to gel involved and see good, honest government." Regarding his cousin opponent Brian Edger, Bennett said he had been unaware he had also decided to enter the race for Second Ward Aiderman. “I didn't know Brian was running until after I actually filed to run." he said, adding, “I haven't talked to him about it.” Bennett has worked as a machinist for E.W.

Marshall, has no qualms about having his cousin, Gordon Bennett, as an opponent in the second ward race. “It doesn't bother me any," he said. "It means at least someone in my family will be representing the community " Edger, a lifelong Hastings resident, said he decided to run after being asked by current aiderman Thomas Robinson, who has decided not to seek re-election. Promoting industrial development is Edger's prime concern for Hastings. “I'm interested in the lack of industrial development in this area,” he said. "We drastically need new industry in Hastings or we won’t have a town much longer. I’d like to bring in new industry while developing ex­ pansion of our current industries.” A 1975 Hastings High School graduate, Edger has attended various business classes at Kellogg Community College.

Look for Mayor Candidate Reports NEXT WEEK! Augustynlak, 31, of 430 S. Market, has definite goals regarding how to improve Hastings' economy. “Hastings has to re-evaluate what it’s drawing card is and realize it can’t rely on heavy manufacturing for employment," he said.*Td like to see more development in the retail, resort and restaurant trades. We’ve got a great potential to tap in this town as far as retail goes," Augustynlak said because of Hastings’ nearness to Grand Rapids. Kalamazoo and Battle Creek, increased retailers would boost consumerism, resulting in increased local revenues. Increased public awareness of council business is another goal of his. "I’d like to make people more aware the city council should be held more accountable to the people." he said.“In the past, people are only interested in the council if something directly affects them. People should always be interested in the council and not when something specifically happens to them." Augustyniak said he decided to run for office "because I feel a person who lives in a city shouldn't complain about anything unless they actively take part in local government." Presently an independent life and health insurance agent for American Family Life, August} liak moved to Hastings four years ago from Battle Creek. He also has been on the Republican Party Executive Committee since last February. Augustyniak has been active in the Assembly of God Church in Hastings since early 1978.

"All these activities fit in together." he continued. “I know this city and generally in a small town like this, if you’re active in one area it sometimes blends into another.

"As far as the Stale of Michigan is concerned, we would continue leasing the track and asking Penn Central to bear with us until we can work out new funding sour­ ces." "We nave a letter of understanding with Penn Central that until we resolve the fun­ ding sources, the state will continue leasing the track.” However. Penn Central spokesperson Regina Rowan said the corporation will definitely abandon the rail line if a new lease has not been signed by mid-November. “The abandonment of the Grand Rapids Branch line will be effective November 15 in the absence of a new lease with the State of Michigan." she stressed. “We're waiting for the State to re-sign the lease...al least, we hope they do." The future of the minonty-owned Kent. Barry & Eaton Connecting Railway (KBE). which runs through Hastings, remains un­ certain following the recent announcement by Penn Central Corporation that it may abandon the line November 15. An official of Penn Central, which leases the Grand Rapids Branch railway line to the State of Michigan, said it will abandon the line if a new lease is not signed by mid­ November. KBE operates the Grand Rapids Io Vermontville line under a subsidized contract with the state. "This line has been included in a lease to the Michigan Department of Transportation in the State of Michigan for operation in its subsidized rail freight service program," Penn Central chief sales and engineering officer Edward Claypole slated in a letter submitted Tuesday to the Hastings City Council. “With the discontinuance of the rail sub­ sidy program on September 30. the State has not renewed its lease of the line," Claypole continued/'In the absence of a new lease nr purchase agreement, the line will be abandoned on November 15. 1981."

KBE vice president Nate Pierce said Wednesday that KBE officials will not know the future of their railway service until the Slate Legislature and Penn Central come to a lease agreement. “It’s hard to say. Nobody knows what’s going to happen, so everybody’s just hanging out here," he said. “We're still in business," he added. ‘Hopefully, everything will work out because the local shippers really need our services. If we have to shut down and the shippers lose our services, then it’s going to be pretty bad. But we’re still thinking positive about it." Pierce said it is also uncertain how KBE will continue to finance its operations once the two-month subsidy extension expires. “You're guess is as good as mine," he said. Barry County unemployment rate slightly higher in August July to 1,950 in August. According to Detroit MESC Director s.

Social Security changes made Several important changes have been made in Social Security benefits by a recently j^nacted law, Robert Fleminger, Social Sedurity district manager in Grand Rapids, said recently. These changes in­ clude: — Mothers' and fathers’ benefits. Benefits to mothers and fathers who receive benefits because they care for an entitled child will end when the youngest child reaches 16. Under the old law, benefits ended when the youngest child reached 18. For parents en­ titled to benefits in August 1981 or before, the change will become effective September 1983. The change is effective immediately for parents becoming entitled after August 1981. — Lump-sum death payment. Effective for deaths after August 1981, the lump-sum death payment can be made only where an eligible husband or wife survive or there is a child entitled to benefits. Under the old law, the lump sum could be paid to the funeral home or the person who paid the funeral expenses if there was no eligible surviving husband or wife. — Annual earnings test. The new law delays the reduction in the annual earnings test exempt age from 72 to 70 until January 1963, instead or 1982 under the old law. — Month benefits begin. The new law allows payment of Social Security benefits to workers at 62 and for dependents of retired and disabled workers only for months in which conditions of eligibility are met for the entire month. Generally, this means that benefits would be first paid for the month after the month a person reaches 62. Under the old law, a benefit could be paid for the month a person reached 62, even if he or she reached 62 near the end of the month. — Disability benefits. The change in the law concerns total income available to a disabled worker. Under the old law, a disabled worker under 62 who also received workers’ compensation could not receive combined Social Security and workers’ compensation payments totaling more than 80 percent of his or her pre-disability ear­ nings.

Hastings Y is winning program There are no losers in the YMCA-Youth Council program of Hastings, only winners. That is the message that YMCA-Youth Council Director Dave Storms hopes to get across in his year end report. The report, released this week outlines all 106 programs offered in Hastings over the past year and the number of participants. Many of the programs had as many as 200 participants according to the report. The YMCA-Youth Council programs in Hastings are sponsored primarily by the Community Fund. In fact over $46,000 of the Community Fund went to either YMCA or Youth Council programs. City taxes chipped in 48 percent of the Youth Council funds providing over $13,000. “We are unique as far as YMCA programs go in this town,” Sturms reported. “The Community Fund makes it possible for us to offer most of our programs free and the schools lets us use their buildings. This is the only town I know of, where kids can par­ ticipate in Y programs for free." Storms said that in most communities, being in a Y program involves membership fees and fees for each program. “Everyone-works together here and that makes the difference,” Storms said. “We don’t have to charge participation fees, have membership fees or even pay the cost of a YMCA building." Storms said a lot of credit should go to Bob King, the former director who retired last year. "Bob laid the ground work for the ac­ ceptance of the Y in this area," he said. “It wasn't like I came into a program that was in bad shape. The Community has been very good to me and accepted me and my new ideas.” Several groups in the area were cited in the program for donating to the YMCA-Youth Council programs. Among them. 1.300 hours of gym and facility time donated by the Hastings City Schools, free use of athletic fields by the Schools, use of a school bus for the summer donated by the Schools, use of the city parks donated by the city of Hastings, and over 200 people who volun­ teered to run all of the adult and youth programs. The Community Fund and City taxes are not the only sources of YMCA-Youth Council funding. For example, over $18,000 was taken in on camping fees at the Y Camp on Algonquin Lake. Other notable sources of funding included Kiwanis baseball. $1,200, swimming class fees, $1,560, and personal donations $1,039. The funded programs include activity in lag tail football, basketball, volleyball, soccer, softball, wrestling, karate, women’s exercise, cross country skiing, baton twirling, jogging, chess, various club programs, dancing, elderly food baskets. Christmas food, Christmas gifts, movies. Outdoor Report. swimming, camp, playground recreation, field trips, carnivals, parades, treasure hunts, baseball, tennis, aerobic dancing, playground radio shows and many others. Many of the popular programs had up to 300 participants, and something was available to people of all ages. “The whole Y concept works really weil in Hastings," Storms said. "Participation means more than just playing the game. It means dealing with people, the reaction of referees, things like that.” "The numbers of programs have increased and the numbers of people as well,” he ad­ ded. 'The quality of the programs brings out the quantity of people." Both the YMCA and Youth Council are watched over by a board and the report, dated September 1980, through August 1981, was submitted by Storms to them.

Anderson has introduced a bill, (HB-5068). into the Michigan House Taxation Committee last week which would allow Michigan citizens to check off pari of their income tax refund to aid non-game wildlife. The Michigan Audubon Society strongly supports this bill, which would provide funds for habitat im­ provement, research or education dealing with non-game species including endangered or threatened. At their annual meeting last March, the Michigan Audubon Society membership passed a resolution which states in part that “we support legislation to solicit additional voluntary contributions for research and management programs for non-game species; those which are not taken for sport or commercial purposes". Betty Challis, M.A.S. president, recently stated that in view of the drastic cutback in federal funds for the endangered species program, nongame legislation is a top priority for Society action this year. Similar legislation was introduced last year, passed in the House by a wide margin.

Lsuuiaivs. Runners for mentally retarded pass through Hastings assured of tree-ripened fruit and Usually has a greater choice of apples than stores offer,” noted James Drury, Auto Club Travel Operations manager. “More than 30 varieties are available from the orchards on otr list, varying from red delicious — an apple-eater’s favorite — to Northern Spies — a popular choice for pies,” he said. “Orchard growers can advise buyers of the best choice for home use.” Auto Club suggests pickers call ahead to make sure the apples they want are available. Many farms surveyed would not specify the date of the fall harvest’s end, explaining that season length is determined greatly by buyer demand. Pre-harvest price estimates range from $3.50 to $9 per bushel, varying with types of apples. Some growers said they reduce prices as the selection dwindles near season's end. Orchard-goers can take their own con­ tainers to hold pickings or get baskets, bushels or sacks from orchard operators. Free containers are provided at more than half of the orchards. Sun hats and work gloves are advised for apple pickers. Ladders are needed for tall trees, but the fruit of dwarf trees easily can be reached by adults of average height A few operators run cider mills along with their pick-your-own orchards.

Johnston Hastings Mayor Ivan Snyder, seeking election for his fourth term, is pointing to the financial condition of the city and achievements of the local government in his campaign. Snyder, 61, became mayor in 1974 when Cedric Morey resigned. He had served on the City Council for 19 years as aiderman from the Second Ward. "About 70 percent of lhe cities in Michigan are working on deficit budgets," Snyder says. “Through good budgeting and good department heads, Hastings is in good financial condition.” Snyder notes that the city has never had a general obligation bond since he began serving on the council. He says that the city’s buildings and equipment have been kept up-to-date through budgeting for items in advance of their purchase. The Fire Department, he says, is one of the most up-to-date depart­ ments in Michigan. “The Police Department is very active," he continues. "Their complaints jumped from 350 up lo a high of 900 per month and they’re being handled'very well.” Snyder also says that Tyden Park has been “cleaned up” during his term, through good investigation by the police, and is now back in use by the general public. He says drug use at the park has been brought under control. Pointing to services, he says that the city has had continuous growth in waler and sewer extensions, making for better fire protection in fringe areas of the city which has led to better insurance ratings for residents. "We do this mostly with our own crews to save money," he continues. Snyder adds that the city still has been able to continue scheduling maintenance of lhe streets and off-street parking lots. Referring to landfill and ambulance service for residents, Snyder says that he has always tried to pul those services into lhe private sector to let the people using the service pay for it. “The landfill was costing us money," he says. "And, it was cheaper for the city to pay a subsidy for ambulance service that to try to run an ambulance ourselves." Snyder says there area number of services he would like to see the city offer, but the most important thing, right now. is for the city to stay solvent. He would, he says, like to see extensions of the water system continued and would like to see further development of Fish Hatchery Park. “One of the first priorities,” ne continues. ’ "should be to get businesses and places for people to work in town." At lhe October 13 meeting of the City Council. Snyder proposed that an industrial development committee be established for the city. He points to the city's Economic Development Corporation (EDC) as a strong point in this area. “I think lhe EDC is the best thing we have going for us." he says. "Last year, we issued revenue bonds for close to $7 million.” Projects financed by the EDC last year included lhe Elias Bros. Restaurant and Howe points to city problems in his mayoral campaign expansion projects at Hastings Mutual In­ surance Company. Hastings Manufacturing Company and Pennock Hospital. “It’s helped to keep existing businesses into lhe city and it has brough Elias Bros, into town," he says. The city, he continues, has had other inquiries for use of EDC funds. He thinks that the city needs a good, aggressive industrial development committee to try to keep em­ ployment up. “I would like to see more places with 50 to 100 employees so we don’t depend so much on two or three industries." he says. "We should also do all we can lo save our industry which we already have.” Snyder contends that the coming years art going lo be years that require experience in budgeting. He hrs served as chairman of the city's Budget Co -.mittee. "State revenue sharing and federal revenue sharing are down and employment is down, he says. "I think (the budgeters) have got to be people who understand finances to keep lhe city in good financial health." A lifelong resident of lhe Second Ward, where he lives al 812 E. Madison St., he was an agent for lhe Standard Oil Company for 30 years before retiring in 1975. He also was a city police officer for one year. Snyder served as president of lhe Hastings Youth Council for three years and was a member of lhe City School Library Board for three years. He is a member of the First United Me hodist Church, where he served on the Board of Trustees. He is also a former assistant scout master of Boy Scout Troop 75. Snyder served in the U.S. Navy for two years and participated in the battles of Iwo Jima, Okinawa and lhe Philippine Islands. He is married to lhe former Virginia Benham. They have two children and two grandchildren. Devoted to the Interests of Barry County Sinc<rl856 '. * Vol.12S.No.75 Hastings, Michigan by Robert J. Johnston Kenneth J. Howe, in his second attempt to unseat incumbent Mayor Ivan Snyder, is pointing to problems in the city in his election bid. Howe. 35, served on the City Council from 1974 to 1977 representing lhe Third Ward. He did not seek re-election to the council because he ran for mayor in 1977. Howe says the present city administration has an inability to work with local industry lo help them solve their problems. "This should be the administration’s number one priority — to solve problems which may help industry maintain facilities to operate at an efficient level within Hastings,” Howe says. As examples, he points to recent problems at Hastings Manufacturing Company. Viking Cor­ poration and E.W. Bliss Company. Howe made his remarks in an interview with the Banna- prior to the October 13 meeting of the Hastings City Council, where Snyder proposed the establishment of an industrial development committee. "An all out effort must begin to attract business and commerce into our city, not just on the outskirts of town," he continues. "If it means tax concessions or easements of local regulations, then why not do it.” The candidate say- that the city can no longer allow or tolerate special interest control or spot rezonings to control development of the community. As an example, he points to the October 5 meeting of the Hastings Planning Commission, where requests were made to rezone a series of lots along Woodlawn Ave. from residential to office zoning. "The city has worked hard and spent a lot of money lodevelopa master plan to develop Hastings into a well balanced and viable community,” he says. “It would appear to me that we should adhere to the plans laid Price 20 ■ Thursday, October 22,1881 Barry County man arrested on two counts Murder for hire schemes uncovered by Greg Johnson A Barry County man was arrested by State Police Wednesday in connection with three murder for hire schemes involving five in­ tended victims. Barry County Prosecuter Judy Hughes said that Domingo Salazar, Charlton Park Rd., was arrested on two counts of inciting the commission ot murder in one of the schemes uncovered. Hughes said up until yesterday, the in­ stigation of all three schemes by the Criminal Investigation Section of the Michigan State Police took place solely in Barry County, and all five warrants are charged in this county. Two of the intended victims are Barry County residents, and the Banner is honoring a request by the Prosecutor’s office not to publish their names. The State Police investigation, in cooperation with the Hastings State Police Post, the Barry County Sheriff’s Depart­ ment, the Grand Rapids Police Department and the prosecuter's office involved a State Policeman posing as a professional hit man, Hughes said. The six weeks of investigation came to head yesterday when State Police arrested the four suspects, three of them in Kent County. Hughes said there are three different sets of circumstances or schemes, one involving Salazar and two intended victims. In conjunction with one of the schemes, Salazar is charged with two counts of inciting the commission of murder involving two different victims, one of those a Barry County person. In a second scheme Thomas Owens and Ricky Leon Jones, both of Grand Rapids, were arrested on four count warrants in­ volving two victims. They were both charged with inciting to commit murder, conspiracy to commit murder, inciting murder against another person, and another charge of conspiracy to commit murder. Owens was also arrested on a two count warrent involving one victim in the third scheme uncovered. Tommy Carter of Grand Rapids was the other man arrested in the third scheme on a two count warrant. Both were charged with inciting to commit murder, and conspiracy to commit murder. Hughes said that Owens was in the Barry County Jail on a charge of criminal sexual conduct during the investigation. He was on a work re’ease program when his plans came lo the attention of the State Police. Hughes said. Hughes said the State Police officer that posed as the hit man was in on the arrest of Salazar, but did not pose as a hit man in that scheme. He did however, pose as a professional hit man in the other two schemes. “All the events of the investigation, meetings and everything took place in the county,” Hughes said. Salazar faces his charges resulting from his activities between September 9, and October 9 of this year. In the second scheme involving Owens and Jones, the charges cover activity that took place between September 22, and Wed­ nesday, Oct. 21. In the final scheme involving Owens and Carter, tlie charges cover activity that took place on Wednesday. Of the three other intended victims that are not from Barry County, two are Grand Rapids residents, and the remaining one’s address was not released. If convicted, the four men could be sen­ tenced to life imprisonment. On the con­ spiracy charges there is the potential of an additional $10,000 fine. They were arraigned today (Thursday) at 1 p.m. in the Barry County Courthouse. down within the master plans and begin to build on that plan.” In comments made following Snyder’s proposal for an industrial development committee. Howe said the city could have had such a committee established and working to attract new industry and com­ merce. When I served on city council, four years ago." he continues. “I proposed to the council that a joint committee including lhe Chamber of Commerce and the city work together to attract new jobs and commerce to Hastings. Unfortunately, now we're four years too late in reacting to the situation." In his original interview, prior to Snyder’s proposal, Howe said the city is going to have to work closely with the Chamber of Com­ merce to come up with a method to make Hastings an attractive community for new business, small companies and new residents. “In doing this.” he says, “it would allow us to spread the taxes and the cost of city ser­ vices over a broader segment instead of putting an additional burden on those of us that are left because of declining population in the city and because of declining industry in the city.” Howe says that with several million people within a 50 mile radius of Hastings, the city should be able to attract small industries and small wholesale operations which may remove the tax burden and improve lhe city’s financial position. He also says that a new city charter should be a high priority with lhe City Council. "Il’s been well over 20 years since our city charter has been updated.” Howe says, “and perhaps alternatives should be looked into for more equal and fair representation of the people on City Council. Our wards are grossly imbalanced in representation, which is in direct conflict to our city charter." Howe also says that the present ad­ ministration has an inability to work with the townships in lhe Fire Department. The city operates lhe department in a contract with the BIRCH Rural Fire Association, which includes five surrounding townships. “Should the situation with BIRCH develop to the extent where they refuse to cooperate with the city and participate in lhe Fire Department,” he continues, “it would be a direct addtional burden on city residents to come up with lhe $70,000 currently being provided by the townships.” Howe says that he has good rapport with township officials after working with them previously on ambulance and landfill ser­ vices. the Hastings Airport and the Fire Department during his term on council. Howe also challenges the Police Depart­ ment proposal to consolidate its dispatching with lhe county Sheriffs Department. "The question of phasing out dispatching, as stated by Chief (William) Brandt at a recent City Council meeting," he says, “would hardly justify taking uniformed police officers off our streets to answer phones, do filing and other office duties. The place for our police officers would be on the streets protecting people and property." Pointing lo his term on council, Howe says he was involved in a number of city achievements during that time. Among them Kenneth J. Howe were banning alcohol in lhe parks, a proposal he introduced; establishment of the Hastings Ambulance Service while he was chairman of lhe Public Safety Committee; closing the etty landfill and negotiating an agreement with Hastings Sanitary Service to provide a landfill: investigating lhe possibility of joint county-city operation of the airport, which was adopted after he left council; receivings $55,000 federal grant for housing rehabilition primarily for senior citizens, after he and others met with federal officials in Chicago; and receivings better insurance rate for city residents thro-.igh the Michigan Insurance Commission, which came about through better procedures at the Fire Department and extensions in the water system. Howe also says that during his time in office, the city built its new garage and received lhe deed to Fish Hatchery Park. Howe says that after he left council, he was active in blocking a 50 percent increase in water rates. He contacted about 12 other similar area cities lo develop a rate com­ parison. Howe also has been active in the BarryCounty Republican Party and is chairman of lhe Citizens for Gilmer, lhe campaign organization of State Rep. Donald H. Gilmer. Howe is employed at Eaton Corporation in Battle Creek, where he is a buyer for plant maintenance ‘‘responsible for buying millions of dollars in equipment". In his five years with the company, he has held various assignments, including personnel, production control and product engineering' He and his wife, the former Dawn Church of Hastings, operate Howe’s Adult Foster Care Home al their residence. 136 W.

He is also a member of the Hastings Lions Club, where he is a past secretary-treasurer and first vice-president.

Heand his wife have two children. Kris, 11, and Jennifer, 14. Sheriff says budget cuts would force seven lay-offs In the wake of facing a $180,000 reduction in requested funds for 1982 to operate the Barry County Sheriff’s Department, Sheriff David Wood said Thursday he would be forced to lay-off seven employees and juggle some existing staff into other positions. “The efficiency of our department is going to drop. I’m sure,” Wood said. “Our activity is up...B & E’s are up — and we’re going backwards.” Targeted for lay-offs, if County Com­ missioners incorporate the proposed cuts in their adopted budget, are four corrections staff in the county jail, the chief deputy, a custodian, and Wood’s secretary. Wood said that in order to keep lhe jail staffed he would transfer five dispatchers into the jail. That move would add a jail position, he noted, and enable him to keep the jail staffed with both a female and male on duty for all shifts. He said in order to house female prisoners, a female employee is mandated to be on duty too. The budget reduction would mean deputies would have to begin rotating lhe dispatching duties to fill the vacancy of the transfer of present dispatchers. Because of the proposed financial sting, Wood said he would transfer two detectives back lo road patrol duties. That change would leave only one detective for the department and not permit as much follow­ up work to be done. Plans would also call for the crime prevention sergeant (who also has handled marine, snowmobile, and public relations duties) to go back on the road patrol force too. Without a secretary, Wood said he and the undersheriff would have to absorb more paperwork themselves. Members of the road patrol also would have to do the same, a duty that would cut into their patrol functions. In deciding where the cuts would come. Wood said, “I personally feel that I have to staff the jail according to mandated stan­ dards. He has also allowed for around-the-clock patrol in the county because the general public expects and wants the department to have a car available to respond to emergencies. However, reductions in his proposed budget would limit 24-hour road patrol to one car at a given time. Hastings Twp. Hall will be moved to Charlton Park Moving day is soon approaching for the nearly century old Hastings Township Hall. The building will take up re­ sidence in Charlton Park's historic village. Duscussing plans for the move are (from left) Frank Walsh. Richard Thomas, Juanita Slocum, Mary Anne Karmes, and Ray Mead. (Banner Photo) The Hustings Township Hall, located on Center Road for nearly a century, will soon be moved to Charlton Park Village and Museum. However, the move does not signal the demise of the white frame building as an active township governmental hub. It's the beginning of a new chapter for the hall and township residents and a unique addition for the historic agricultural village at the park. What makes the move unusual is the fact that township elections, the annual meeting, and other special events will still take place in the old structure even when it becomes part of the park, says Supervisor Richard Thomas. The township board decided to move the building {here as a way of preserving the hall for future generations. The move will also mean township citizens will have better parking facilities when they use the hall. Parking space is inadequate at the site where the hall now stands, township officials say. The original site is also con­ sidered hazardous to traffic going in and out of the township hall because of a nearby hill which blocks visibility. The primitive hall has never been remodeled, but a former stage and bookshelves have been removed. A stove near the center of the one-room structure provides heat in cold months. A contracting firm has already started building a new foundation at Charlton Park to prepare for the arrival of the old hall, said Frank Walsh, park and museum director. The hall will be moved before Christmas and the cost of that expense is being paid for with a grant. Walsh said the park's primary interest in the building is the uniqueness of the plans for it to remain in active use as an official township hall. The building will be placed next to the old schoolhouse in the recreated village. '•Eventually, the hall may be the oldest building still being used in the township.” he said. Every year hundreds of school children participate in educational programs at the park, and Walsh said. "I think it (the halD will be neat for school kids to use for a lesson in local government.” Township residents have a lot of questions about the location change of the hall. Thomas said. One typical concern is whether they will have to pay the regular park admission to attend special township activities. Thomas stresses that township resident.. will not have to pay a fee to enter the park to vole or attend special meetings and func­ tions. Historical data about when the township hall was constructed is not readily available because many early records were destroyed by fire when they were kept al a former township clerk’s home. However, Township Clerk Juanita Slocum says that she lias been able to dig up some history about the Center Rd. site. The first mayor of Hastings, H.A. Goodyear, deeded the half acre of property to the township on December 14. 1872. The deed was recorded <wo days later and plans for the building were accepted April 8. 1884. After the hall is moved to the park, the township has no special plan-; for the land and have indicated that it could be shared by those who stay at the neighboring Camp Fire Cabin next door �The Hastings Banner, Thursday October 22,1981 - Page 2 great-grandson" for the first time.

Thursday October 22.1981 ■ Page 3 Flexfab employees salute company’s anniversary Three employees were on the job 20 years ago when Willard Pierce and Doug DeCamp started Flexfab. Inc. in Hastings. Since that humble beginning on October 16. 1961, Flexfab has mushroomed into a thriving company with 195 employees today and a business with worldwide connections in its sales of hosing and tubing. The company maufactures Neoprene and Silicone speciality ducting and bellows for all •ypes of applications from Aero-Space use to heavy equipment needs. Flexfab, located at 1843 Gun Lake Road, celebrated its 20th anniversary Friday, with employees staging a special "thank you” to Pierce and DeCamp in recognition of this significant milestone in the company’s history. Regular company operations were cur­ tailed at 2 p.m. that day to allow employees an opportunity to pay tribute to Pierce and DeCamp. Employees presented the two company founders with a Japanese Dogwood tree. During the ceremonial planting, employees indicated the hope that "the tree and the company would continue to grow together. " The chome-plated shovel used in the ceremony was a gift of employees too. Later, Pierce and Decamp were presented with a framed artwork depicting a graphic history of the company, incorporating sketches of their families who have sup­ ported the two in their business venture. Also part of the celebration was the reading of resolution from Hastings Mayor Ivan Snyder, congratulating the company and wishing it continued success. To further mark the event, the company gave each employee a leather key ring with a Flexfab medallion affixed. Flexfab employees presented company founders Willard Pierce (left) and Doug DeCamp with a Japanese Dogwood tree and a shiny engraved shovel in honor of the business' 20th anniversary. Pierce told the audience of employees that the company was started with just a handful of modest tools — a carpenter's saw, several screwdrivers, a hack saw, a carpenter's square, a hammer, a hand drill, wrenches, and a sledge hammer.. “everybody working as a ream creates a company-that's why we are noted as the best In what we do.“ DeCamp He illustrated his talk by displaying the small number of basic tools with which he and DeCamp had built the company’s first two lathes (which are still used) . The plant was started at its present location which was the former Thompson Furniture Company. Since 1961, there have been several additions to the facility along with the acquisition of the original Cove Distributing Co. building. Now. Flexfab occupies more than 65,000 square feet of floor space. As the building has grown, so has the number of employees needed to fill th. ever expanding orders. This growth is due. in part, toa work force that is highly devoted to producing quality items, say company officials. This devotion to quality as well as the ability of the company to provide coustomers withexcellent delivery servece has helped to see Flexfab through the slow down the economy is facing trday. Pierce and DeCamp are extremely proud of the growth of the company and speak often of the ability to provide employees with continuous employment for 19 of its 20 years. The company experienced its first major lay-off in early 1980 due to a severe economic slowdown. However, by August of that year, the work force was recalled and new em­ ployees have been hired on a regular basis since that time. Over the years, Flexfab has marketed a product that is as diverse as the customers they supply. These parts have been engineered to withstand some of the most rigorous conditions found in society. For instance, air conditioning and cabin air ducts on Boeing 747,757, and 767 aircrafts were manufatured right here in Hastings as well as ducts used to pre-heat weld areas on the Alaskan Pipe Line. In addition, Flexfab manufactured air circulating ducts for an inflatable mobil Army hospital used in Viet Nam. Closer to home, the United States space shuttle program used Flexfeb ducts on the ground support system for the space ship Columbia. For several years, the company provided Turbo-Charger connections for Indy 500 race cars. Besides providing local employment, Pierce and DeCamp are also proud of the local committment they have made to other endeavors in the Hastings community. Their continued support, both financial and per­ sonal, to local service organizations and various charitable causes is in keeping with this committment. DeCamp, at Friday’s celebration, summed up the company's success by saying "everybody working as a team creates a company — that's why we are noted as the best in what we do." Meeting reveals desire to grow by Greg Johnson Take heed Lansing — businessmen and industry leaders in small communities are starting to talkTake Hastings for example. On Tuesday, several area business people and leaders of local industry in Hastings got together with the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce at a luncheon and revealed a desire to survive and grow in Michigan, and more importantly in their own community. Mike Trahan, president of the Chamber said the purpose of the meeting was to open channels for ideas that would attract in­ dustry to Hastings, help the one's already here, and perhaps help local people start new industry. From that idea stemmed a series of arguments and accusations mostly aimed at state government and the idea that Hastings could attract new industry. — George Hamaty. vice-president of per­ sonnel at Viking Corporation of Hastings, said that Hastings had nothing to offer, tecause of its location and the economic climate of Michigan. “Look at what we have to offer here. First of all we have no rail service, bad roads for trucking and we're highly unionized,” he stated. “No company in their right mind is going to come in here under those conditions. Put ourselves in their shoes and look. The only chance I see is to find someone already here that wants to start an industry and help him.” — Ken Kensington, president of Hastings Reinforced Plastics, echoed Hamaty's points, and laid blame for not being able to attract industry on state government. “There is turmoil at the state level. The cost of doing business in this state is what is keeping businesses away and driving other ones put,” Kensington said. "The real world is the bottom line. If an industry can’t afford to be here, they are not going to come. ’ ’ "The state of Michigan has to change if we hope to attract inciistry, or for that matter even expand the ones we already have." John Warren, of Coleman Insurance Agency, asked the group why some things couldn't be done on a community level to make Hastings itself, regardless of the state, more attractive to industry. Ken Miller of Miller Real Estate, offered that obvious changes need to be made at the state level, but also that groups should get together in Hastings to develop changes here. Hugh Fullerton, former publisher of the Danner, and several other people pointed to the home grown business like Flexfab Inc. "Find someone with an idea, start now, and they could be a Flexfab 20 years from now,” Fullerton said. Melvin Jacobs, publisher of the Reminder and Banner, said all the communities have to work to make this state a better climate for business. "This state has had too much of big in­ dustry, big labor and big government,” Jacobs said. “It is time to take a new look at small business, small industry, agriculture and the service industries.” Hastings Attorney Richard Shuster said get the message to organized labor and work with them. ‘‘It is time to recognize realistic economics," Shuster said. "Michigan is in a survival battle, a dire, dire economic battle, and we can’t go along traditional lines of labor versus industry any longer." The guest speaker at the meeting was Doris Richardson, Barry County Extension director and home economist Her "People Working Together" speech called industry the number one need in the Hastings area. She aIs. notified the business people and industry leaders that the Ex­ tension Office had compiled a book about the area. She said the book could be used as a tool to help attract business and industry to the area. "It is important that there is a concensus of opinion to sit down in small groups and get ideas out,” Mrs. Richardson said. And that is what the business people and industry leaders did Tuesday.

(Left to right): Sylvia Deloney, Ken Kammeraad, Sandy Allen, Michael Brian, Joan Foster, Bev Warren and David Trip. Not pictured is Mary Ann Karmes. The chamber, in cooperation with several county organizations, announced the contest last Thursday in conjunction with a promotional tourist drive for Barry County. The chamber's tourist committee met for the first time at an Elk’s Club luncheon. Attending the luncheon were chamber members Bev Warren, Sandy Allen and Joan Foster; Gun Lake Business Association members David Trip, Michael Brian and Ken Kammeraad; and Sylvia Delaney, assistant to the Barry County Board of Commissioners. Du* to prior committments, Charlton Park representation Mary Ann Karmes was unable to attend the luncheon. Warren, chamber tourist director, said the co-sponsored tourist committee is aimed solely at promoting Barry County tourism. “We'll be making a coordinated effort for tourism among the represented groups and for Barry County as a whole,” she said. \ 'We’re also going to be ddistributing tourist information for promotional purposes." Specific goals of the committee will be formulated within the next two months, Warren added. The committee’s first efforts include getting a travel bureau consultant to discuss promotional options, and setting up a calendar of events. The first scheduled event is the logo slogan or theme contest for promoting county tourism, Warren said. •The contest is open to all Barry County students and the first prize will be a weekend visit at the South Shore Beach Resort at Gun Lake, ’ she explained. "Second, third and fourth prizes will be determined later.” All entries should be mailed to Warren by­ November 13 at tlie Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce office, 112 S. Jefferson. Judging will take place during the com­ mittee’s next meeting November 19. For further information, contact Warren at 945-2454. Local student earns baccalaureate degree at Albion College Amy L.

Eaton. Calhoun and Ionia region, a doctor of the Barry Eaton District Health Department confirmed this week. Dr. Edwin R. Larkin told the Banner Tuesday, that the Health Department is now beginning to notify the local physicians of the problem. Earlier this week. Hastings High School nurse Miriam Sorby, reported that cases of head lice had been found in each of the Hastings Area School buildings. Larkin said that head lice is a public health problem because it is highly communicable. "It has no preference for clean people ar the unclean." he said. "Thinking you can take a bath everyday and you won't get it, is very wrong." “They will not chronically harm any in­ dividual." he added. "But they do present a public health nuisance. Larkin said schools are usually easy spreading grounds for the head lice because students share lockers, combs, coats and other items. "It presents a problem in schools because of absenteeism.” he said. “The ones who have it stay home, and the ones who don't have it stay homeso they won’t get it.” Larkin recommends that once the head lice is found a physician be consulted. “They can give you the neccessary steps, the name of a good medicated shampoo that will get rid of head lice and the proper procedure for getting the eggs and deadjiits out of the hair,” he said. “With routine hygiene there is no guarantee that you won’t get or can get rid of them. We recommend seeing a pyhsician.” Larkin admitted that the treatment is performed at home by parents quite frequently.

Hastings postmaster Bob Brogan says rate changes and mailing deadlines are just around the comer. “People usually don't think about Christmas mail until after Thanksgiving," Brogan notes. But because mailing deadlines begin October 26 and postal rates increase November 1, he explains, people should soon prepare their holiday mail. Postal rates (or letters will rise from 18 cents per ounce to 20 cents per ounce November 1. Post cards will also rise November 1 from 12 to 13 cents. Mailing deadlines are listed under five categories, Brogan says, including priority, letters and post cards, parcel air lift (PAL), space available mail (SAM) and surface. “Priority mail is any first class mall from one to 12 ounces,” be says, adding, “and the rates are 17 cents per ounce. The 17 cent rate will remain unchanged after November 1." Letters and post cards includes all one ounce or less mail presently costing 18 cents and 12 cents. “Space available mail are parcels in which you pay a small fee for air mail service if space happens to available on a plane,” he explains. "It’s somewhat of a gamble.” Parcel air lift, however, guarantees air mail service for a slightly higher fee than SAM, he adds. “And surface mail is all mail being transported by trucks and-or boats,” Brogan explains. The following are deadline dates for out­ bound military mail. The first date represents priority mail deadlines, the second represents letter and post card deadlines, the third represents parcel air service deadlines, the fourth represents space available mail deadlines and the fifth represents surface deadlines.

Reed, one of America's foremost film lecturers, will be presented by the Hastings Kiwanis Club at 8 p.m., Tuesday, October 27 in Central Auditorium. The program, narrated in person by Reed, is the second of seven programs in the club’s World Travel Series. The film “Iceland” is Reed's presentation of Scandinavia’s Iceland in all its beauty and charm. Exercising rare technique in color cinematography, Reed has captured on film the moods and contrasts of the land that encompasses such extremes as glaciers and volcanos, fjords and deserts, uninhabitable regions and ultramodern architecture. He has recorded on film the dramatic daily life of the Icelandic people — their craft­ smanship and designing, industries and agriculture, fishing villages and futuristic cities. Harry R. Reed There are many extraordinary highlights in the film. There are prictures made in March 1973 during the volcanic eruption that devastated the town and harbor on Iceland's Heimaey Island. There is a sequence that he filmed during an exciting expedition to the famous volcanic island, Surtsey. And, there are the scenes that he filmed when he landed on a new volcanic island as it was being bom by catastrophic eruptions, and climbed to the rim of the crater to photograph the awesome spectacle. Other highlights include Namaskard and Dimmuborgir, great geothermal areas of boiling sulphur pits, tremendous jets of streem. bubbling hot springs and grotesque configurations of lava. There are rare sequences showing the nesting of eider ducks, kittiwakes, puffins and other migratory birds, and there are sequences showing skilled handicraft in weaving, ceramics and jewelry. Reed is an internationally prominent cinematographer-lecturer and writer­ explorer. He is an authority on the Scan­ dinavian countries and a specialist on Iceland. His professional activities include film lectures, production of documentary and commercial motion pictures, radio and television programs and the writing of travel stories and articles for international magazines and newspapers. In recognition of his work. Dr. Urho Kekkonen, president of Finland, bestowed one of Finland's highest awards of merit — the “Insignia of the Order of the Knight of the Lion cf Finland” — on Reed. Reed is an active member of the In­ ternational Motion Picture and Lecturers Association, the Archaeological Survey Association and the Finlandia Foundation.

Mrs. Sorby said the schools would ap­ nurse for th« -hMd preciate if parents would take a look at their child's head for the nit eggs. She added that if the child does have them, follow all the rules for getting rid of them. Information that Mrs. Sorby provided said that lice are tiny, wingless insects with short feelers.

Rewa named employment volunteer services head Serving as a volunteer can be very rewarding and thereare many places to plug into in Barry County, including the local Department of Social Services. The county DSS has created a new position of employment and volunteer services supervisor and hired Don Rewa to take the helm. Coordinating and expanding duties of unpaid volunteers is a key part of Rewa's job. There are currently three volunteer programs in operation. Volunteers are now helping with an emergency food bank, emergency transportation, and providing clerical aid. Recently, volunteer help has been used to help with case work reporting and other administrative assistant duties. Interest in developing an "adopt" a grand­ parent program also is growing. Rewa's former position with the local social services department involved working with delinquents, state wards, and day care. Prior to that he was a counselor at Martin High School for five years. He also taught seventh and'eighth grades at a parochial school. Rewa holds a bachelor of science degree in education from Central Michigan University and a master’s degree in counseling and personnel from Western Michigan University. In his current position, Rewa hopes to expand the volunteer programs available through social services, which in turn would result in savings to taxpayers plus provide more services to the public. He notes that supervised volunteer To the editor Congratulations to you Mr. Fullerton for your recent letter to the Editor, concerning schools. You hit the nail squarely on the head. I thought you voters and teachers would be interested to know what was the pay for teachers for the school year 1924-1925. I had access to these figures from a school management class at Western Michigan. At Hastings High, Mr. Van Buskirk, the Superintendent was paid $4,400.00; Mr. William T. Wallace, the principal was paid $2,400.00; Al Brown, who taught physical education and sports with the help of Ralph Kyser received $2,100.00; Miss Wilbur, the music teacher taught music in the old first and second ward schools, and high school orchestra, besides managing several other music groups in high school, and taught at central. She went on foot from one school to the other and I believe she sometimes ran. She got $1,800 for the year. Mr. Herold Hunt, who was a dynamo with large classes, ana Miss Hailwood was the girls physical education teacher, and they didn't rank high pay. So in 1924-25 Hastings High teachers had from about $1,500.00 to $2,100.00 for the 40 weeks of leaching. How did they get along? A number of the men painted houses, some worked at high way work, and some even worked for far­ mers during the summer. The ladies usually went to summer school or went to live with Pa and Ma for the twelve weeks of vacation. This reminds me of Editor of the Grand Rapids Herald From boyhood till he became editor, he worked for the G.R. Herald. Frank Sparks fell that as he grew to young manhood he should have a raise. Asking Mr. Vandenburg for one, he was asked aren't you getting along now. Frank replied, "I am just making out." After becoming editor himself, Mr. Sparks wrote, many years later than boy hood. "Through the years 1 have had many raises in pay. but I have always been, just getting by.” Dear Reader, do you realize that two and three generations ago alm:>st all people were justgettingby? Cameron Mein** re programs through social services have been successful in other counties. "The program will save money and meet needs of clients that haven’t been met before. And with cuts (from federal and state governments) volunteers will be able to fill in some of the gaps. It’s a matter of getting back to community involvement., people helping other people and meeting their needs. Il works both ways — both parties involved reap rewards. It’s an opportunity to work with youth, families, the elderly, and handicapped on a one-to-one basis or with groups of clients. Some volunteers, he said, are working with clients who need help in the area of money management. A core of about a dozen volunteers are at Rewa’s disposal now, but he's hoping to increase that number. There is a need for more volunteers to help with transportation. His future ideas for volunteer programs include "friendly visitors" who would visit shut-ins and parent aids who would work with protective services to help those who need assistance. Filling Christmas baskets is another project. Along with the recruitment of volunteers, Rewa is meeting with clubs, religious groups and different other organizations to generate support and input for the volunteer programs. To motivate self-help is the concept behind Rewa’s volunteer program which he feels can help some clients become more in­ dependent, except those whose needs are more structured because of age or special Don Rewa, new employment and volunteer services manager at the Barry County Department of Social Services. circumstances. Rewa also works with the social services employment services staff, supervising three employees who help clients find work or job training' and provide other related assistance. He also supervises two staff members who are involved in day care and works with the homemakers service, Indian out-reach program and food stamp out­ reach. Persons who are interested in more in­ formation about volunteer opportunities may contact Rewa at 948-3259.

(Banner photo) County budgets targeted for reductions Virtually every service financed and supported with county funds will feci the sting of budget cutbacks next year, said Kenneth Radant, chairman of the Barry County Board of Commissioners. "Lay-offs, will be inevitable in some departments,” he said. Commissioners Monday met in special session to discuss its finance committee's recommended budget for 1922 which carvek out more than $1.5 million in requested funds by departments. Budget reductions were necessary to bring departments’ projected expenses of $5.3 million in line with anticipated 1982 revenues which are predicted at $3.8 million. Services not mandated by the state received the deepest proposed cuts, Radant said, adding that "the mandated areas are also being pared. In general, courts will be the least affected.” Commissioners will vote on next year’s budget at Tuesday’s regular meeting. As the proposed budget stands right now. the finance committee has suggested cuts that include a $180,000 reduction from the Sheriffs Department request. (See details elsewhere in this issue). There will be no money earmarked for road improvement if the proposed budget passes. None was funded by the county last year either. The road commission had requested $360,000 for 1982. The office of grants-county administrative assistart would be eliminated, according to slashes made by the finance committee. "We really didn’t want to do it," said Commissioner James Gordon, finance chairman. “But, non-mandated areas suf­ fered the most (in the projected cutbacks).’’ Other proposed areas scheduled for financial setbacks are general remodeling. by a $200,000 reduction; health department, $115,000: medical care facility, $75,000; prosecutor’s office, $40,000; the county Commission on Aging, a $30,000; CharlUm Park, $45,000; cooperative extension, $35,000; county clerk’s office, $8,000; drain commissioner, $8,000; animial shelter, $8,000; and family counseling — from a request of $6,000 to 1,000. Meetings have been continuing with the finance committee and departments this week to gather further input on the p. >posed budget. Wolpe leading effort to save energy tax U.S. Cong. Howard Wolpe (D-Delta Township) — working with a bipartisan team of House members — has introduced a resolution which would put the House of Representatives on record in support of preserving energy tax incentives which encourage American homeowners to reduce their energy consumption or utilize alter­ native renewable energy sources. House Resolution 243, jointly authored by Wolpe, Reps. James Jeffords (R-Vt.), Claudine Schneider (R-R.I.) and Thomas Harkin (D-Iowa) calls for the retention of existing residential and business tax in­ centives for conservation, congeneration, solar, wind, hydropower, geo thermal, alcohol fuels and biomass. The resolution had already gained the support of 221 representatives — over half of the House of Representatives — by the time of its in­ troduction this week. '.‘The tremendous bipartisan support within the House for these critical energy tax incentives.” Wolpe said, "clearly demon­ strates that representatives from all over the country realize their constituents need and want to be a part of solving our energy problems. “These tax incentives offer us a chance to accomplish a national objective — enlisting Hastings man dies in car-truck accident A 28-year-old Hastings man was killed early Friday morning when his car collided head-on withan empty propane tanker truck on Carlton Center Rd., just west of Farrel Rd., in Carlton Township. Thomas W. Rowland, of 4015 Andrus Rd., was pronounced dead al Pennock Hospital. The empty propane truck was driven by Douglas E. Culver of Shelbyville who was not injured. A second empty tanker went off the road and rolled over when the driver swerved to avoid the accident. Barry County Sheriff’s Deputies said Rowland was driving west on Carlton Center Teens available through “Rent-A-Kid” Bogged down with jobs that need to be taken care of? Rent a kid, is the newest program of the YMCA-Youth council and its purpose is to provide employment for teens between the ages of 13-16. Teens have signed up and are now waiting for you to provide them with an opportunity to work. The teens are willing and able to do janitorial or maintenance work, outdoor clean up. lawn work, gardening, painting, housework, or babysitting. all the YMCA asks Is that you have bet­ ween one and two hours of work and will be at home to supervise them < except babysitting!. The teens are to be paid $2,00 an hour ($1.25 for babysittingt Just call 945-9591 from 8 to 4 and ask for the YMCA Office Rd., (M-43) and that the tankers were east bound. Ralph Marcott of Wayland, the driver of the second truck suffered minor injuries that did noi require treatment, deputies said. The accident remains under investigation. American ingenuity and capital in our battle to slash oil imports with cut expensive bureaucracies and lengthy regulations. By relying on individual initiative and free enterprise, the incentives build on the strengths of the American system.” President Reagan, in his recent call for additional 1982 budget cuts, suggested that the conservation and renewable energy tax incentives might be cut back or possibly eliminated.. "In my view, it is unconscionable to propose the elimination of energy tax credits which benefit individual American homeowners and businesses, in light of provisions in the recent tax bill which will provide more than $10 billion in new tax breaks for the oil industry,” Wolpe said. “These tax incentives have particular importance in Michigan and other states in the Northeast - Midwest region of the country where we are disproportionately dependent on imported oil, our housing stock is older and less energy efficient, and we lack oil and gas reserves. But the overwhelming support for this resolution makes it dear that the House believes these tax incentives are in the best interest of the entire nation, not just one region." Wolpe noted that in 1S79 alone, nearly five million Americans weatherized their homes and businesses or utilized solar energy, alcohol fuels and other energy technologies in response to the tax incentives. Many businesses and homeowners have made longrange decisions based on the expectation that the tax credits would be available at least through 1985, as Congress intended, the congressman added. "We believe this country should make a strong commitment to increasing and diversifying our own sources of energy supply," Wolpe said. “Conservation and renewable energy technologies are essential if we are to meet this goal. Abandoning the tax incentives for these options would put us even further behind our European and Japanese competitors who are starting to take the lead in developing energy-efficient and renewable technologies."

As thousands of Michiganians prepare for another hunting season, many will be brushing up on gun safety procedures. "But ther's more to hunting safety than knowing how to handle a gun, said Dr Donald W. DuCharme, Kalamazoo, president of the Michigan Heart Association. “Wliat few hunters probably realize is that the rigors of hunting can quadruple the heart's workload," Dr. DuCharme said. "And that leads to many unnecessary heart attacks during hunting season every year. “Hunting can be very strenuous,” he said. Many hunters do not really exercise all year. Suddenly, they find themselves in a different environment, climbing over hills and around trees. Cold weather adds to the strain on the system and the hunter is usually carrying a gun and other heavy equipment. Add to that the excitement of the hunt itself and you're MIDDLEVILLE. 6 Kelloggsville look one more step in their quest towards an OK Blue championship by knocking off defending champ Middleville 13-6 Friday.

Don’t tire yourself excessively. Take the hunting, the eating and the celebrating in reasonable doses, and get plenty of rest. Watch your alcohol intake; though it may make you feel warmer, alcohol causes your body to lose heat faster. Get help to drag your quarry out erf the woods-it can be very physically demanding to do so alone.

She finished the course in four hours, three minutes and so while at Hastings asking for trouble " Dr. DuCharme listed some precautions hunters can take: Never hunt alone. Know where to get help in case of emergency-any kind of emergency. You should know how to reach the sheriffs department or other emergency medical aid in the area in which you’re hunting. Be sure you are in condition. A program of moderate exercise will help put you in better condition to withstand some of the situations you’re likely to encounter while hunting. But, before starting a conditioning program, be sure your physician has evaluated you for your ability to exercise and participate in such a program. Be sure to wear warm clothing that protects head, ears, hands and throat. Cold wheather puts an added strain on the heart. Know the symptoms of heart attack: a feeling of fullness, heaviness or squeezing pain in the center of the chest, which may spread to arms, shoulders, neck or jaw and may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, sweating or shortness of breath, if someone in your party experiences these symptoms, get help fast!

The half-time position of deputy drain commissioner will also be eliminated. Commissioner Edward Daniels, a finance committee member, pointed out that some of the budget cuts were not actually as big as they appeared. Even though, the Sheriff’s Department budget was axed by $191,876. Daniels says it is still left with a budget of $514,204 which is only $4,093 less than the $518,297 it received in 1981. Charlton Park, originally proposed to be wiped out of any county reimbursement for next year, gained $20,000 as a result of a budget amendment Tuesday. Commissiotiers took $10,000 each from the con­ tingency fund and the other fringes fund for the park. However. $20,000 is still short of the park’s requested $71.(MX) and Director Frank Walsh said the cut may mean Charlton Park would have to reduce operating hours or boost user fees. Kensinger Jones, chairman of the park commission, spoke on behalf of the park Tuesday. "You have an unspoken mandate from people for a place to go. Over 100.000 people visited Charlton Park in 1981. We ask for evidence of support from this county,” he said. Five persons also spoke in favor of the county cooperative extension which received some budget relief from commissioners Tuesday The board approved $57,819. $15,000 less than the extension requested and 1,380 less than their current budget. Last week, 4 ommissioners were considering cutting as much as $35,000 from lheir request for 1982. Former Board Chairman Robert Bender was one of speakers in support of the ex­ tension. "Agriculture is big business in Barry County.” he said, noting that $3040 million is generated by farmers here. Bender said the extension services provide a vital role in agricultural research that farmers otherwise could not afford. The only other amendment to the '82 budget was $20,000 earmarked to the road commission which had originally asked for $360,000 Commissioners had no proposed funds budgeted for roads last week, but Tuesday agreed to take $10,000 each from the contingency and other fringes fund.

Like Salazar, Owens was an inmate in the Barry County Jail. He was on a work release program when his plans came to the at­ tention of the State Police. Court documents charge that Owens, 37, used some of his work release time since Sept. 22 to develop a plan for the murder of two former business partners. The intended victims are Douglas O’Laughlin, a Barry County businessman, and Paul DeLessus, a Grand Rapids businessman. According to the coirt documents Owens had been meeting with a man in the parking lot of a Middleville restaurant to discuss the proposed murders and the prices he would pay for the crimes. The man Owens thought he was hiring for the murders was State Police Detective Lt. John Fiedler posing as a professional hit man. The documents reveal that Owens blamed his former business partners for forcing him out of business. He held them responsible for his conviction earlier this year on a sexrelated offense, claiming he had been set up by them on the charge taking him out of the partnership. Jones ties in as the replacement of Owens in the partnership. Jones and Owens are charged with con- spiring to commit murder. Owens is being held in lieu of a $250,000 bond. Jones has not been able to post a $75,000 bond. Owens is also charged in the third scheme uncovered. He and Tommy Carter. 40, of Grand Rapids, are charged with setting up the murder of Sandra Brown.

Hastings City Council member Mary Lou Gray, chairman of the Parks and Insurance Committee, said a meeting has been set up for 9 a.m. Friday with a representative of Yeager and Company, her committee, representatives of the three city unions, retirees and other interested persons. The city already receives workers com­ pensation insurance through a similar fund operated by the company. The new insurance would replace the present Blue Cross-Blue Shield policy. The monthly premium for that policy was $5,765.75 last month, a figure that varies with the size of the group insured each month. Currently coverage includes 49 full-time employees and 16 retirees. Gray met with company representatives in Ml. Pleasant on Tuesday and received the necessary forms to begin application for the Governmental Voluntary Employee Benefit Trust, established about one year ago with the approval of the Michigan Municipal League. Other cities currently in the trust are Kentwood. Onaway, Middleville, Howard City, Mancelona and Hart. “It’s geared toward the midsized and small cities,” Gray explained. “It’s not geared to high loss ratio cities, which would, I’m sure, totally destroy any ability to save and reflect any savings for the com­ munities.” Gray told the council at Monday’s regular meeting that the insurance will offer the same benefits as the current Blue Cross-Blue Shield insurance. She said the city would be charged the same premiums it currently pays for the first two years, then will receive a premium, based on claims, in subsequent years. Gray said the company has a good record of payment on workers compensation. The counciIwoman added that the firm has already inspected the history of claims in Hastings. Other cities with a high record of claims, such as Flint and Saginaw, have been rejected, she said. Councilman Patrick Vaughan, assistant director of Pennock Hospital, said most hospitals prefer accepting claims from self­ insurance funds and commercial insurers Any potential applicant in the Maple Valley school district may secure in­ formation and an application from the Lakewood Adult Ed. Office. Scholarship funds must be used to support the applicant in a properly accredited or certified school, and the award will be granted upon receipt of an invoice or other suitable documentation proving admission, following selection fo the recipient by the BPW Scolarship Committee. Two scholarships have already been granted for the 1981 fall semester. Recipients of the fall semester awards were Sharon A. Fawley of Woodland, who attends Davenport College of Business, seeking her degree in accounting; and Sandra Christie of Nashville, who attends Kellogg Community College, pursuing an associate degree in business.

Conscientious citizens of Hastings will soon be voting for new members of the City Council. It is my opinion that Bruce Augustyniak is a fine contender. Bruce has the* integrity, intelligence, courage and responsibility to be a very able representative. He has shown these qualities in his own church, in his enthusiasm for Hastings as a city with a future. Bruce worked diligently to rid our area of the adult drive-in by attending all fourt hearings possible and openly testifying against its indecency. He backed an anti-porno rally and personally invited Brooks Patterson to come here and speak. Bruce has the good of the area and the'family at heart. He knows we need a lessening of taxes, more work incentives and good leadership to ac­ complish this. Bruce is also a pro-life person who dislikes abortion and pro-family father who is interested in education. In my estimation, Bruce is a Christian “man for all seasons”, a man for our times and our city. Yours, Mary C.

They're old friendships not in the sense that they have been long lasting but rather that they are with some of the oldest members of the community. As volunteers at the Provincial House skilled nursing facility in Hastings, Ann and Andy have discovered that friends do not have to be their age — they can be any age. These teenage twins, who reside at 832 E. Grant with their parents, Eileen and Don, came to the nursing home just about every day last summer and continue to visit whenever they get a chance now that they’re back in school. Both of them are in the eighth grade at Hastings Junior High School. At the nursing home, they help residents play bingo, join them in sing-a-longs or go along with them on outings. Other times they chat with residents or play cards or checkers with them. "They’re always a big help,” Activities Director Rosemary Shaffer commented. "Whenever we have an event, they come in.” Recently they went with the residents and staff at Provincial House on a picnic at Charlton Park and out to lunch at Burger Chef. One of their favorite trips was a visit to a local blacksmith shop. HOPE CHURCH OF THE BRETHREN. M 50 North of Free­ port at the Kent-Ionia County Line. Rev. James Kinsey.

Each of the more than one million residential customers is sharing in a refund that the company is making to all its customers. The refund covers the period from November 1978 to March 1980. “During that 16-month period, our residential customers using a normal amount of gas for household heating and other uses consumed about 265.0(A) cubic leet,” said James H. Climer, director of rates and rate research for Consumers Power. The refund amounts to 1.02 cents per thousand cubic feet. Industrial and com­ mercial customers will receive refunds based on their respective usage during the 16-month period. Climer explained that the refund comes from several sources. “One of our pipeline suppliers was able to refund more than S3 million covering three separate periods because of tariff changes under federal regulation. Another pipeline supplier made an approximate $93,000 refund to us. “We had an overcollection under the Purchased Gas Adjustment of $474,494 because of adjustments in the volumes of gas purchased. "Third, there was a carry-over on our books of a previous pipeline refund of ’AltOFMNWI .. □AnOFWD ’XODOKW Bn i C WW $306,293. And finally. Consumers Power fc’WCCsnyear received payment of $23$ IkC'-C- Oilhtwi. representing a refund of import license] improperly levied by the United s| Government in a portion of feeds deliveries for our Marysville syntl natural gas plant more than five years a| Climer said tbes*1 refunds totaled n than $4.5 million. The company repd these amounts to the Public Service d mission, which approved a full refund! nine percent interest. "Because some customers who j -.1. o- served during that November 1978 ■ Ml 1980 period have moved to another addra our service area or completely out of service area, we have made arrangeml with MPSC approval, to send refund ell if the amount is more than $1,” Climer I Some of those customers left forwal addresses with the company. Others w| notified through advertisements placJ Michigan newspapers this month The! asked to contact a Consumers Power <1 to request the refund. "We realize the amount to each cusli is not large, but we are pleased to be al make a refund at a time when currenl costs are rising,” Climer said. "This! shows how carefully we track the cost <■ we buy from our suppliers and how car* the Public Service Commission scrut® our gas recovery costs.” HASTINGS ASSEMBLY OF GOD 1674 West State Road.

Stanley, Director �The Hastings Banner • Thursday, October 29.1981 • Page 8 Citizens upset over Maple Valley Board appointment by Robert J. Johnston The Maple Valley Board of Education has appointed Robert Dormer of Vermontville to fill the unexpired term of Russell Geary who recently resigned from the board. The decision io appoint Dormer, a former board member, came after four rounds of balloting by the board during a special meeting last Thursday (Oct. 22). Voting for Dormer on the fourth ballot were board members Wayne Cogswell. Elam Rockwell, Virginia Fox. and Wilbur Marsh Members Ronald Tobias and Dale ossehbeimer Jr. voted in favor of David Hawkins whose appointment was supported by petitions bearing 400 signatures. The first three ballots had tallied Rock­ well. Marsh, and Mrs. Fox voting for Charles Viele Sr; members Tobias and Ossenheimer voting for Hawkins; and Cogswell voting for Donner. Prior to the vote, the board had received letters from Hawkins, George Hubka. Michael McMillen. Viele, James Bryan, ana Dormer expressing in'erest in being ap­ pointed to the vacant board position. A group of residents who attended the meeting in support of Hawkins are upset because the majority of the board “ignored" their petitions, said Tim Smith during a telephone interview Saturday. Smith presented approximately 400 signatures of persons who endorsed Hawkins, a Nashville resident, for the vacant board seat. "The impression that I got from some of the board members is that no matter who the petitions supported, they would go thp way they wanted to gp," he said. "I’m not saying that their candidate : Dormer) is not a good person. The issue here is the board’s disregard for public opinion," Smith said. “It's unfortunate that their wants and whims are more important to them than the public’s. "I would predict that there is a possibility that the bomd's decision (appointment) could have bearir g on the November 3rd vote (for transportation millage) because the board has not cooperated, the public may retaliate," he said. Maple Valley Schools Superintendent Carroll Wolff and Board President Wayne Cogswell could not be reached for comment. one woman in the audience last Thursday said she thought the board selected Dormer becatse of his previous experience on the board. Smith noted that Hawkins has been an “active and concerned" citizen and has been head of the PTO for the grade schools. Hawkins also worked for the passage of millage proposals including the upcoming transportation issue, he said. In other business. Thursday, the board approved a request from the Junior class advisor? to hold the Junior-Senior prom at Harley Hotel of Lansing this coming May instead of holding the prom in the high school gymnasium. A dinner will be included at the hotel along with the dance Cogswell voted against the proposal. The board also approved recom­ mendations of transportation supervisor Gerald Aldrich regarding a revised tran­ sportation program, in the event the millage is defeated. Anyone desiring further information regarding transportation should contact Gerald Aldrich at the bus garage. 852-9421.

Gilmer of Augusta Reisterer, handing out flyers for the club members to read, proposed: I. The Legislative Credibility Act. which would roll back income tax from 4.6 percent Io 4.4 percent, which he said was promised by the state legislature in 1975. 2. The Savings and Investment Job Op­ portunity Act. which would gradually eliminate all intangible taxes over a five year period which he said would stimulate savings and investment and produce jobs. 3 The Property Tax Relief Act, which would offer a 10 percent reduction on all classes of property each year for three years; require the state to reimburse each individual unit of government for revenues lost; and provide for a ten percent boost in the property tax credit (circuit breaker) formula on Michigan 1040 tax form for homeowners and renters. Reisterer said this would help make owning property more affordable and people are demanding property tax relief. 4. The Single Business Tax Reform Act. which would exclude the first $200,000 in payroll expenses from the tax and replace the tax with a tax on profits only. The canTimothy S.

Howe. 35, was elected mayor of Hastings, Tuesday, taking 56 percent of the 1,523 votes cast. In his second attempt to unseat incumbent Mayor Ivan Snyder, 61, Howe received 853 votes to Snyder's 670 votes. Snyder won the Fourth Ward, taking 235 voles to Howe's 195. Howe received 358 votes in the First Ward to Snyder’s 223,135 votes in the Second Ward to Snyder's 99, and 165 votes in the Third Ward to Snyder's 113. Howe attributed his victory to a crew of volunteers who helped with his campaign. “We were well organized with very little formality " Howe said. “Dawn and 1 are amazed and humbled by our supporters. Without them, we couldn't have gone as far.” The former Third Ward aiderman said ne has several interest* in mind when he takes the mayor’s seat, including continuation of the industrial development committee recently organized by Snyder and formation of a commission to review the city charter. “We have to look at some way of preparing ourselves for when an industry may be in­ terested in coming to the city," Howe said. "This includes preparing industrial sites." Howe said he would like the committ.-e to include officials from the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce. “H’s in the interests of the Chamber and the city to make this a cohesive group,” Howe continued. He said Hastings is a very acceptable place to live when compared to the larger communities nearby because of its access to recreation and to those larger cities. He added, however, that the city does not have a lot to offer to young people for vocational fulfillment. “One of the problems in Hastings u, that we’ve been self-reliant and have taken the Hastings attitude that we don't need outside help." Howe continued. "We have tostart looking at what makes a community successful." Howe pointed to Gaylord as an example of success because of its large industrial development near an airport, a high rise senior citizens center and other assets. "if you want it." he continued, “you can have it. But it’s not going to be there if you just stick your hand out." The mayor-elect said that the new City Council has a lot of responsibility to see these things happen. “The council's going to take the action necessary," he continued. “I can only recommend." Howe said he would like to see some development occur on the south side of the city, where a lot of land is empty. "I think we tie developers' hands with the type of ordinances we have for plat Banner Devoted to the Interests of Barry County Since 1856 ... - Vol. 126, No. 77 development." he said. "There's almost »oo much expense before you can begin development.” He questioned the need for sidewalks, curb and gutter in every development, especially because of ’he cost of continued maintenance for the city. The mayor-elect said he would also like to see further development at Fish Hatchery Park, which he feels has "great potential." Turning to the city charter, Howe said he would like to form a commission to review the current charter and make recom­ mendations for updating it. He is especially concerned about the lopsided representation of the wards in city government. Howe said he would also like to see city flections occur on even numbered years to save expenses for the city. ................. . .... Hastings, Michigan price ......... / Thursday, Novembers, 1981 Hastings High senior killed, football player injured in one car accident Sunday by Greg Johnson An 18-year-old Hastings High School senior was killed and a !7-year-old classmate was severely injured when a car they were in left the road and hit r large tree at the comer of Market St., and Green St., in Hastings about 4 a m Sunday. Randolph Boyd Tolles, 18 , 804 S. Benton St., was pronounced dead on arrival at Pennock Hospital, and Robert Ross Wilson, 17. was admitted and placed in intensive care. Hastings City Police said Tolles, the son of Boyd and Shirley Tolles of Hastings, was a passenger in the car that Wilson was driving at a "very high rate of speed." Police said Wilson, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Bruce David Wilson, 705 W. Bond St., had a leg amputated as a result of the accident. Pennock Hospital reported Wilson was moved from intensive care on Wednesday and listed in stable condition. Police reported that the teens were in a 1974 Oldsmobile Delta 88 that was east bound on Green Street, and failed to negotiate a sharp curve. The car apparently ran off the road striking a small tree and then wrapping around a large tree. Police said the estimated speed of the vehicle will be rtetermined by further investigation of the accident. Officers at the accident scene reported that Wilson had been thrown about 20 feet from the car. but Tolles was inside the air bag equipped car when they arrived. Police said the motor was separated from the vehicle by the impact and the car was literally wrapped around the large tree. Gordon Trick of the Hastings City Police said the curve has been the scene of fatal accidents in the past. Tolles was a senior at Hastings High School and a member of the choir. He was a part time employee of Felpausch Food Center of Hastings. Wilson, also a senior, is an offensive lineman on the Hastings Saxon football squad. Tolles attended schools in Vernon. Conn, and New York before coming to Hastings in 1972. He was bom in Hastings Oct. 8,1963. He is survived by his parents. Mr. and Mrs. Boyd Toiles oi Hastings, one sister. Cyndy Toiles of Hastings, his paternal grand­ parents, Mr. and Mrs. Russell Tolles of Steuben, Mich., maternal grandmother Mrs. Irene Leabu of Hastings; and maternal grandfather, Mr. Richard Sargeant of Hastings. Funeral services were held at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, November 3, from the Grace Lutheran Church where Tolles was a member. Pastor Michael J. Anton officiated and burial was in East Hickory Comers Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be made to the Randy Tolles Memorial Fund. Arrangements were by Leonard Osgood and Wren Funeral Home of Hastings. Wesley Erwin, a neighbor and volunteer Nashville firefighter, arrived on the scene first after Mrs. Swift telephoned the Fire Department for assistance. Firefighters said Swift was attempting to dismantle the open elevator from a metal grain-holding bin at his farm after moving his com crop into the bin. Swift must have climbed up on the 35 foot portable elevator to fix something that may have jammed, and it collapsed pinning him underneath. Firefighters said.

The Hastings Area Community Fund has reached $43,359 towards its goal of raising $112,017 in the local United Way drive, reports Marshall Belson, executive director of the campaign. Contributions to the fund have been coming in slow, he said. The drive has been underway for a month. However, Hastings Manufacturing has gone over its goal of collecting $21,000. The company is the first industry in the area to reach that status. Volunteer solicitors at Hastings Manufacturing succeeded in raising $21,900. The industrial division of the community fund drive has raised $32,640 to date; public agencies, $2,173; residential. $3,594; and p-ofessional $2,650. Other divisions are still tabulating up-to-date returns.

The trial w5D begin on Monday, Nov. 9 in Barry County Circuit Court. Judge Stuart Hofftus, a Kent County Circuit Court Judge, will preside. The suit was filed in August of 1980. The five families are in the process of being prosecuted for violating the existing ordinance, primarily the part that deals with the placement of mobile hornet.. Their cases are pending in district court, waiting for the outcome of the circuit court decision on the constitutionality of the ordinance. The five families that the Barry County Prosecutor's office list as plantiffs in the case are: — Mr. and Mrs. Will Simmons, 12901 Case Rd.. Bellevue. — Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Angus. <864 Guy Rd.. Nashville. — Mr. and Mrs, Kenneth McCabe, 4416 Wall Lake Rd.. Hastings. — Mr. and Mrs John Abbott, Rl. 3. Bellevue. — Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Dilno. 7600 South Cedar Creek Rd., Delton. The five families have all secured the same attorney, Steven Kantz of Otsego. A press release from the office of Richard Whitelock, an Ionia mobile home dealer and president of a group of citizens that call themselves OTLAM (Outraged Taxpayers and Landowners Association of Michigan), reported that all five planliffs are members of their organization. Kantz is the attorney for OTLAM, and has a'tended Barry County zoning hearings with Whitelock in the past. Dale Crowley, chief assistant to the Barry County Prosecutor, told the Banner that Kent County's Judge Hoffius was appointed the case in this county when both Barry Circuit Court Judges disqualified them­ selves. “When the suit was filed both judges decided that since part of their salary is paid by the county, they should disqualify themselves." Crowley said. In a decision last month. Oct. 16, that is in conjunction with the case, Judge Hoffius ruled that a mobile home may be placed if the home is in compliance with HUD stan­ dards. Crowley said that Hoffius was appointed to both cases by Russell L. Baugh, acting court administrator for the State of Michigan. County elected officials, employees nix pay freeze Elected officials in Barry C Minty and the excutive board representing the 55 members of the county Courthouse Employees Association have nixed a salary freeze for 1982 as proposed by the county board of commissioners. At its October 27 meeting. Comissioners had asked elected officials, the employees association, and the Fraternal Order of Police to consider relinquishing next year's pay increases which had already been in­ corporated into the new adopted budget. The three groups were asked to respond in writing by October 30. Because of the negative responses to the proposed freeze. Commissioners last Friday approved a five percent salary hike for elected officials beginning January I and an additional five percent increase, effective July 1. The oilier two employee groups already have been granted similar pay raises in their contracts. Current salaries of elected county officials are $31,894 for the prosecuting attorney: $22,558 for the sheriff; $19,010 for the clerk; $18,597 for the treasurer; $17,636 for the register of deeds ; and $16,406 for the drain commissioner. Commissioners received two written replies regarding the proposed wage freeze from the six elected officials and the employees association. However. Board Chairman Kenneth Radant said no response was received from the FOP Elected county officials - Clerk Norval Thaler. Sheriff David Wood. Register of Deeds Howard Ferris, Drain Commissioner Ray Bratton. Treasurer Elsie B Furrow, and Prosecuting Attorney Judy Hughes stated four reasons for opposing a salary freeze at 1931 levels for themselves and the other two groups: "A balanced budget lor 1982 has already been adopted without necessitating a freeze of wages. continued on page 5 �The Hastings Banner — Thursday, Novembers, 1981 — Page2 West Woodland by Victor Sisson Thought for the Week — “No angler with a big fish walks home through the alley.'* Mr. and Mrs. Everett Johnston returned home Saturday from a ten days trip during which they visited a couple of his former Army buddies.

Corey, Tony and Wendy Ward of Barber Rd. were recent overnight guests of the Barry Donaldson home while their parents. Mr. and Mrs. Roger Ward, attended the Sunday School Convention at Cobo Hall in detroit with a number of others from Grace Wesleyan Church of Hastings. A Mr. Ferris — we're not sure of his first name, but think they call him “Tag” — was a caller on Mr. and Mrs. Ford Stowell on Saturday, Oct. 17 — and from that sentence comes a story. Years ago — perhaps nearly 70 — a man by the name of Elmer Ferris and his family lived in Woodland, about a block east of the Methodist Church. Mr. Ferris had a learn of horses and a sleigh — when I was a boy we called it a pair of bobs — and in the winter time he would cut ice on Saddlebag Lake, haul the big blocks into town and park tlie ice away in a big ice house which stood back of where the Post Office stands today. He had one horse that he used in the ice cutting process. Occasionally this horse would break the ice or slip off the edge into the lake, but it always managed to get out of the water and make it to shore, only to go back out and resume its job. In those days, Ford Stowell, who has always been a lover of horses, had a fine team. too. and oc­ casionally he would hitch his horses onto the sleigh and help Mr. Ferris haul his ice to town. Mrs. Ferris would sometimes accompany her husband out to Saddlebag and back, just for the ride. On one of these latter occasions, the unexpected happened and Mrs. Ferris gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, in the sleigh en route to the lake. The Ferrises had other children and as time went on. the family moved away from Woodland and became scattered, as families will do A few weeks ago. Perry Stowell was working in the Portland area and ran into a man by the name of Ferris. Perry remem­ bered that a family by that name had resided in Woodland, and he remembered the unusual story. Tc Perry's surprise, this man informed him that he was the boy twin born in the sleigh on that cold winter day! Perry invited Mr. Ferris to stop in and have a visit with his parents the first time he was over this way. The family of Elmer Ferns scattered, married and had families of their own. “Tag" married and had a family. His brother Arnold married and had a family. Arnold died leaving his wife with children to bring up. "Tag’s" wife died leaving him a similar task. Eventually "Tag" married his brother s widow and they had children. Mr. and Mrs. Ferris live in rural Portland where with their nine children they work a beautiful modern nine hundred acre farm. Mrs. Ilildred Hesterly of Woodland had a pleasant surprise Sunday afternoon when Mr. and Mrs. Verdan Hesterly of Ionia walked in on her unannounced. They were followed a short time later by Mr. and Mrs. Gene Blair of Mulliken. Then her son, Herbert of Hastings, rode his new IG-speed bicycle to Woodland to see his mother. (His wife drove the car out later and he rode home with her, after they stopped to see her father, Carl' Jordan.) Byron Hesterly and Mrs. Virginia Tousley also joined the group — none of them knew the others were coming. Four of the above have CBs and they enjoy talking among themselves daily. And what was the subject ot their conver sad on Sunday afternoon? Their experience with their CBs, of course. Ernest Hoffman, of Coats Grove Road, underwent an emergency operation Saturday afternoon for the removal of gall stones after more than a week in Blodgett Hospital in Grand Rapids. The report, Monday, was that he is doing well but is likely to have to remain in t’-e hospital for quite a few days. His new address is AE37, Blodgett Hospital. Von Makley is in intensive care in Pennock Hospital following a heart attack suffered at his home south of Woodland on Saturday. He expects to remain in the hospital for some time as the doctors want to make several extensive tests. This is Van's first experience in the hospital as he has never been sick a day in his life Last week Monday evening. Mrs. Stephen DeGroote and Shawne attended the Tennis Club potluck banquet at the Lakewood High School. Following the supper, awards were presented. Sunday afternoon, the DeGrootes called on his sister and family, the John Rines, formerly of Kokomo. Ind. who recently moved back to Michigan and are residing at Guernsey Lake near Cloverdale Rines still has his job in Kokomo and they are in the process of selling their home. Following the Sunday evening service at the North Irving Wesleyan Church on Wood School Rd., the DeGrootes stopped at the home of their daughter Stacey and Jeff Morton and enjoyed a late supper with them. Hastings AAUW is sending members to public meetings President Mary Ann Karmes of the Hastings Branch of the American Association of University Women announced Wednesday an “observer” program as a major activity of the local group's legislative committee. The purpose of the program is to have an AAUW member regularly attend and observe the proceedings of local governmental and nonprofit agencies ser­ ving the community. The local AAUW branch has in the several years of its existence occasionally publishea in county newspapers Searchlight reports to the community on election candidates and issues, and plans now to extend that kind of activity by providing another information link from government tc the community by sending observers to public meetings. Already last spring some AAUW membes began attending meetings of the Board of Commissioners, the Commission on Aging, the Barry County Parks and Recreation Commission, and the county Planning and Zoning Board. Members observing the various boards will report to members their observations at regular or special meetings,' as well as give special calls for action if events require citizen reaction or attention. In addition to the boards and commissions already named, AAUW members are assigned to observe regularly the Hastings City Council, the I astings Board of Education and the Barry County In­ termediate School District Board, the Rutland Township Board, the Community Activities Center, the Barry County Mental Health Board, and the Hastings Public Library Board When additional volunteer observers are available, the County Allocation Board, the Hastings Township Board, and the City Planning and Zoning Commission will have representatives of the club attending their meetings. Hastings Branch AAUW members who have volunteered to observe the various public boards include Ann Ainslie, Alice Jones, Mary Ann Karmes, Lois Roush, Barbara Furrow, Esther Walton, Linda Solomon, Lucille Hecker, Eileen Oehler, Maxine Knowlton, and Agnes McPharlin. New members are invited to choose a board to observe (alternate observers are needed, too, for boards meeting frequently), and members of the community are invited to suggest other groups they would wish to have someone attend as observer. The AAUW observer program is intended to provide a small corrective to the situation of public boards meeting without any members of the public present to observe, comment, or encourage. “Too often it’s only the controversial issues, and the reactionary or negative elements of the public being heard." legislative chairman Eileen Oehler said. Some meetings, such as the Hastings City Council’s, are broadcast by WBCH, and some, such as the proceedings of the Board of Commissioners, are reported in full by local newspapers. The AAUW hopes it can at least in a small way supplement these efforts. President Karmes said. Membership in AAUW can be countywide and is open to women with bachelor's degrees. Visitors are welcome at meetings on the third Tuesday of each month at 7:30 p.m. The Hastings HCB presents 5%% on Christmas Clubs Banner Send Form P.S. 3579 to P.O. Box B (USPS 071-830) 1952 N.

LENDER "Insurance Is Our Business " Mrs. Edan Johnsons writes from Japan By Victor Sisson Many of our readers will be nlerested tn this letter from Mrs. Edna Johnson, wife of Rev. Harold Johnson The couple left Hastings early in August for their eighth term of service on the Mission Field in Japan. While they were home on a year's furlough, the family made their home here in the Missionary Home on Oakdale Rd., jsut off Campground Rd This was the third time they have “furloughed" in this Missionary Home. The second time they were here, when their year ended there was no money to send them back to Japan and the second year it was necessary for them to earn their own sup­ port. Rev. Johnson taught vocal music in the Lake wood Scho< Is. The Johnson children attended school in the Hastings High School. The following year Rev. Johnson accepted the pastorate of a Wesleyan Church in Wisconsin and at the end of that year they returned to Nippon. The Johnsons write an occasional letter to their many friends, "prayer partners", back in the States, send the letter to the Clearview Wesleyan Church, Martinsville. Va., and one of the Sunday School classes there makes scores of copies, addresses them and pays the postage to send them to friends all over the U.SJV The following is the latest such letter.

Once more we feel the guiding rod of the Shepherd nudging us back to Japan. In 1952 he sent us with John 10:4. Now we pray the prayer of Micah 7:14, "Shepherd Thy people with Thy scripter, the flock of Thy possession which dwells by itself in the woodland, in the midst of a fruitful field." We claim as our own the 15th verse, "as in the days when you came out from the land of Egypt. I will show you miracles.” (NAS).

Invitations to the luncheon have been mailed to more than 200 former employees and volunteers in the health department s services since it began in the summer of 1931. The buffet style luncheon wi’l begin at 11:45 a.m.. Friday. November 20th in the Middle Villa Inn at Middleville Dr. Walker will be introduced by Dr. Edwin Larkin.

Dr. Walker was appointed by Governor William Milliken three months ago Senate Democrats in the confirmation hearings squabbled with the governor who instructed Dr. Walker to withhold from the Senate certain correspondence and other documents to be considered sensitive. The approval came after Senate Democratic Leader William Faust and other senators viewed the questioned items privately. “After a very exhuastive procedure I was satisfied with the responses of Dr. Walker." said Senator Faust. The credentials and qualifications of Dr. Walker were not the issue and not in question. Dr. Walker, a native of Springfield. Tennessee, did his undergraduate work at Kentucky State University and received his master’s degree in public health from the University of Michigan. School of Public Health. Following graduate studies in en­ vironmental health" at John Hopkins University and the University of Kansas he received his doctor of philosophy degree with honors in environmental health from the University of Minnesota. He received the prestigious Browning Prize for Prevention of Disease in 1978. The annual award was established in 1971 to recognize excellence in the practice of public health in the rendering and delivery of services related to the prevention of disease, the prolongation of life and the attainment of health. His work as director of the District of Columbia environmental health regulatory program from 1972 was cited in the award. "He has drawn together disparate units of the Washingon, D.C.. community — government, private and voluntary — to work harmoniously to reduce physical, chemical and b.ological environmental hazards to health. In pursuing these ac­ tivities, Dr. Walker has recognized and taught consistently that the need for a safe and wholesome environment is common to all people; this need cuts across boundaries of race, class and politics." Dr Walker served four years in the U.S. Air Force Medical Service Corps. His ex­ perience in departments of public health include periods in Philadelphia. Wayne County. Michigan. Dayton and Cleveland, Ohio and Newark, New Jersey He is an adjunct professor in the Harvard University College of Medicine and Meharry Medical College.

A breakdown of the voting by precincts shows Vermontville voters givng the nod by a vote of 314-239. Nashville voters rejected Crowds flock to Penn-Nook’s Christmas sale the millage increase with 403 voting against it and 360 in favor of the lax hike. Revenue from the 1.4 mill increase will be used to help offset the loss of state aid dollars for transportation. If the millage had been defeated, the board of education had said that the current transportation program would have been reduced by discontinuing shuttle trips which transfer students between the two elementary buildings in Nashville; making students walk up to a mile to general bus pick ups; and making students walk to school if they lived within a mile.

Scores of shoppers flocked to the 15th annual Christmas Presentation Wednesday afternoon at Penn-Nook Gift Shop in Pennock Hospital. The special event continues today (Thursday) until 6 p.m. Beautiful Christmas decorations were the star attractions on opening day. Unique arrangements and unusual angel ornaments and tree adornments with an old-fashioned flair were some of the highlights in the "Christmas room’’ * For the special sale, there were many other lovely gifts on display for Christmas giving or any other occasion. Various gift displays included the college corner, teen scene, basketville, “Daddy Darling’’ featuring gift ideas for men, and "Mommy Dearest” focusing on gifts for women. There were even special gift selections geared toward pets. Since the shop's beginning 15 years ago, volunteers have staffed the shop and donated proceeds of approximately $100,000 to equip the Intensive Care Unit at the Hastings’ hospital and to purchase other specialized medical equipment. The gift shop is open six days a week. County - continued from front —‘‘It is unfair to freeze wages of remaining employees at the same time that they are assuming more duties as necessitated by personnel reduction. —“There is no indication from the Board of Commissioners what ihe funds ‘saved’ by freezing salaries would be used for. —"We do not believe that the Board of Commissioners should consider tampering with contracts already negotiated with the county association employees and the FOP unless absolutely and totally necessary." In their letter, elected officials also said they “do not agree w ith the apparent funding priorities of the board as evidenced in the 1982 budget. "We recommend that the Board of Com­ missioners separate state mandated ser­ vices from discretionary services. We believe that state mandated services suf­ fered at the hands of discretionary services when the Board of Commissioners adopted the 1982 budget." the letter said Elected officials told Commissioners the board should make it a priority to restore personnel and programmatic cuts in statemandated service areas before considering restoration or expansionary funding of discrp'ionary departments if any increased revenues become available during 1982. If the public wants discretionary depart­ ments. Commissioners should consider alternate methods of funding, elected of­ ficials said. The letter from executive board members of the county courthouse employees stated that “it is impossible for us 'o respond to such a request (for a pay freeze) on such short notice; however, a poll of the executive board revealed that such a waiver would not lx? acceptable." The association's executive board is comprised of Ardis Hall. Nancy Boersma. Audrey Burdick. Miriam White. Dave Haley, and Bonnie Neil IV 4.41 Total Debt Retirement Millape for 1981-82 (Editorial Note: The total millage rote for taxpayers is .74 mills less in 1981 than in 1980.) Student Membership We hove experienced a decline of 148 student member­ ships this year while our original budget was predicated on a decline of 59 student memberships. (We thought our prediction of a decline of 59 was a liberal projection since we had only lost 9 student memberships in the last three years.) Operating Budget Due to the aforementioned decline of student member­ ships. the Governor's Executive cut on September 30. 1981. and anticipated State cuts, the Board of Education has adopted o revised budget of $4,261,429 for fiscal year 1981-82. This budget anticipaies a balance ol $152,951 or 3.5 percent on June 30, 1982.

GRID© REPORT HASTINGS...27 JACKSON NW...0 The Hastings Saxons finished the year in second place in the Twin Valley after bombing Jackson Northwest 27 0 Friday. The best defensive performance of the year according to Coach Don Folmar, and the running and passing of John Karpinski were the key elements to victory. The Saxon defense held Jackson to 109 total yards and just six first downs Karpinski threw two touchdown passes to Pat Merrill, and ran for two others to lead the offense. Tailback Bruce Martin gathered 81 yards on 15 carries in the game. Karpinski hit 5 of 7 passes for 125 yards. The Saxons are 6-2 overall, 5-2 in the Twin Valley, and end the season I riday with a trip to Delton. Saxons lose to Sturgis, Harper The Hastings Saxons girl's basketball squad dropped a pair of Twin Valley games over the past week and find themselves near the bottom of the standings with a 3-7 league mark, and 4-8 record overall. On Thursday, Oct. 29, Sturgis trounced the Saxons 58-38, and on Tuesday, Nov. 3. Harper Creek dropped them 48-40. In Thursday's loss Sturgis took advantage of an 18-2 first quarter shocking of the Saxons to coast in for the win. The Saxons outscored Sturgis 24-20 in the second half but the 38-14 Sturgis lead at the half was too much to overcome. None of the Saxons reached double figures in the game that saw Hastings shoot 46 percent from the field compared to a 53 percent mark for Sturgis. Jackie Jaynes and Paula Atkinson led Saxons scorers with 8 points each Karen Williamsand Kelly Mogg each added 6 to the losing cause. Teresa Maurer led Saxon rebounders with 9 of the team's 33. Mogg helped her out grabbing 8 caroms on the night. Strugis hit on 6’ percent of their shots in the first half building the insurmountable lead. In Tuesday s loss at Harper Creek the Saxons were outscored in the first half again HYAA blue celebrates championship The Hastings Youth Athletic Association Burger Chef Blue team celebrated their championship season with a pot luck dinner Thursday, Oct. 29, at the Hastings Moose Lodge.

Home games were played on lower Johnson Field, the Hastings High practice field. During the banquet Coacn Adams congratulated the players on their season and presented awards and patches. GALESBURG...22 DELTON...14 Galesburg-Augusta used a strong ground attack to slip by the Panthers 22-14 Friday and gain a share of the KVA championship. The Delton defense that had not allowed a point in 18 quarters couldn't stop the Rams from rolling into the end zone three times on the night. The Panthers provided some sparkling plays to score their pair of touchdowns. Craig Pennock got one of them on a 93 yard kick off return in the first quarter, and Rick Hurdiebrink got the other making a remarkable catch on a hail Mary pass just before halftime. The Panthers end the KVA season in third with a 4-3 mark, and a 5-3 record overall. They entertain Hastings on Friday in the traditional season ending game for both teams. MIDDLEVILLE...22 PARK...13 The Trojans controlled the line of scrim­ mage and that keyed them to victory Friday. The defense held Comstock park to 56 yards rushing, and the offense controlled the ball. Two second half touchdowns lifted the Trojans to victory after they trailed at halftime l$-9. Mike Browne scored both second half touchdowns and ran for 107 yards in the game to lead the Trojans. Steve Scott hit 9 of 20 passes for 150 yards and one touchdown pass to Tony Doornbos. The win lifts the Trojans to 3-5 on the year, 3-3 in the OK-Blue. They wrap up the season Friday with a visit to Wayland.

MAPLE VALLEY...16 MONTCALM...8 A 16-8 win over Central Montcalm Friday lifted the Lion record to 5-3 and insured them, of a winning season. The Lion defense was the key to the victory that secured a second place tie with Portland in the TCAA. Mike Kelley hit Tony Dunkelberger with a 64 yard touchdown pass for the first Lion score, and Tony Reid scrambled in from the 22 yard line for the other. The Lions dominated statistically with a 232 to 79 total yard edge. Brooke gathered 100 yards on 17 carries to lead the offense, and John Villanueva turned in a sparkling performance at tackle.

Department of Natural Resource Biologist for Barry County, reports that deer activity is on the increase heading into the last week before gun season opens (Nov. 15). He also reports that the migratory bird population is up and it is prime time for area duck hunters. Some pheasant success has been reported with the persistent hunters that have dogs. Rabbitts are lower this year and are scattered, but squirrels are excellent. Deer hunters heading north for the Nov. 15, opening of Michigan’s firearm deer season should find few traffic problems and the largest deer herd in more than 30 years, the Automobile Club of Michigan reports. "This season opens on a Sunday for the first time since 1970, and the bulk of hunter traffic should be spread over Friday and Saturday. Nov. 13-14," James Drury, Auto Club Travel Operations manager said. More that 700,000 hunters are expected to lake to the woods over the 15 day season. Last year, a record 727,000 hunters pur­ chased firearm deer licenses. "The onset of hunting season usually brings a sharp increase in gunshot damage to insulators," a press release from Con­ sumers Power Company said this week. The press release said that thousands of customers suffer service interruptions because unsportsman like hunters use the insulators for target practice. Last year $74,000 was required to replace more than 1.000 insulators and that cost goes right back to the customers. Consumers Power offers cash rewards for information to the arrest and arraignment of those who cause power outages. They serve more than 1.3 million customers in 61 counties in lower Michigan Thousands of hunters will be taking to the woods and fields of Michigan again this fall, shotguns in hand, seeking their chosen wild game. Unfortunately, this years as always, some of the largest will turn out to be other hunters and innocent bystanders instead of that game. Hunting is a dangerous sport with the biggest danger coming from other hunters, cautions the Michigan State Medical Society (MSMS). It is estimated that one in four victims in hunting accidents is a case of mistaken identity — a human being mistaken for an animal. Good, clear vision is necessary to identify a moving target correctly. Before taking to the fields, vision BOWLING on Page 4 should be checked and industrial strength safety lenses with the oropcr vision correction should be worn. These glasses can protect you from the richochet ot bullets, blows to the eye from the rifle or its kickback and cuts to the eye from trees and branches encountered while hunting. A rule of thumb, is — before you pull the trigger, know what you are firing at. In addition to gun related injuries, each year hundreds of hunters die from heart attacks. In a few states, heart attacks kill' three times as many hunters as gunshot wounds. A pre-season physical may deter­ mine if the hunter's heart is eady for a strenuous hunting season, notes MSMS. There are several other rules that can be followed to make this hunting season a safe one. Bright fluorescent orange clothing should be worn because it is instantly identifiable as a color not found in nature. Don’t cross over or through a fence or climb a tree with a loaded gun... it might fall and discharge. Instead, unload first and reload after crossing. Because glancing bullets can carry long distance^, don't shoot at a uard. flat surface. In addition, know where your bullet will stop before pulling the trigger. A gun should be carried so that you can control the direction of the muzzle if you stumble. Be sure the barrel of the gun is clear of mud, snow or other obstructions. A clogged barrel may burst. Keep a safety catch on until you are ready to shoot. As in poisons, medicines or any dangerous equipment, keep guns and ammunition away from children, preferably under lock and key. Many senseless ac­ cidents occur each year when a hunter has been drinking. As a precaution, leave your liquor bottle at the camp or at home. As a final note, take proper precautions to avoid “tularemia" or rabbit fever. This is a dangerous bacteria carried bj\ infected rabbits, muskrats, beavers and other wild game which can enter the human body through breaks in theskin when wild animals are being skinned. Infection also can be spread by the bites of insects, or by drinking infected water or eating infected, poorly cooked meat. Tnorough cooking, especially in rabbit meat, will destroy bacteria. Symptoms of tularemia are a sudden and severe headache, vomiting, chills and fever, and aching throughout the body. Due to the serious nature of the disease, a doctor should be called at once. Prevent this disease by avoiding animals which appear weak and sick, wear rubber gloves when handling wild rnimal meat and, as stated before, cook meat thorough!)!

Purpose: Negotiations with Employees. JOANN FLUKE SECRETARY Hastings Area School District �The Hastings Banner - Thursday. November 5.1981 - Page 8 Dimmers host New Zealand exchange student For Shelley Bell of New Zealand, living in Hastings isn't as traumatic a change as some exchange students from other countries experience. Shelley is spending a year here as the guest of Carolyn and David Dimmers and family of Green St. Communication poses no real problem since English is Shelley's native tongue. However, she says there are certai i phrases and colloquial terms that are different. ‘I had never heard the term — to sack out." she laughs. Speaking with a long “e” sound, she says she is sometimes misunterstood. People think I am using the word liter when I'm really talking about a letter. Shelley says she had been following the teachers' contract negotiations here with interest because her own mother is a teacher She said teachers in her mother’s area went on a one-day strike recently and marked the first teacher's strike in New Zealand's history. Shelley's mother is a former high school home economics teacher who now travels to all the schools in the providence to teach home economics. Her father is a dentist. A senior at Hastings High School this year. Shelley didn't waste any time joining the cross country team. Running is a sport she has enjoyed competitively for the past four years. Her other school activities here include the varsity club. Alpha, and Interact. Shelley arrived in Hastings in July, coming from Invercargill, a city of about 50,000 people in the providence of Southland. She says her own home is located in a suburb and that she and her family have two acres of native bush "Hastings is a small town, but nice. It is hard to get use to a smaller town." she says. Another change for Shelley is attending a co-ed school. In her homeland, she attends an all girl school which she describes as "traditional and strict." "But. it r a good school, and being away from the guys (during the school day) is not so bad. We have dances with them and things like that." she said. Shelley has noticed that there’s not much time for meeting people here during school hours. And because of split lunch hours, "you might not even be able to eat lunch with your friends," she said. When Shelley's not in class, she’s usually at a meeting or involved in sports practice. "At home, I bike to school, and here nearly everbody has a car," she says. In New Zealand, girls her age and younger are not allowed to wear jewelry or make-up and cannot carry a handbag. During her stay here, she hasn't become Americanized with cosmetics like others in her grade, but she says she has experimented with blusher several times. universities. Shelley will have to wait until February of 1983 before she begins univer­ sity studies. She likes the sciences and is considering future career possibilities in physiotherapy or pharmacy In New Zealand, being a member of the American Field Services community group was good preparation in understanding the student exchange program, she said With AFS, Shelley has been involved in activities for exchange students who have visitied her country “We'd go camping together, hiking, and have sing-along con­ certs. progressive dinners.” And with AFS, Shelley knows that here she also has a group of people who support the exchange program During her stay she receives a $20 monthly allowance from AFS and gets a "New Zealand Update" from her embassy The organization also has asked Shelley to be prepared to give talks and slide presen­ tations to interested groups about her native country and she has come well prepared. Since she has been with the Dimmers in Hastings. Shelley has spent three weeks in Canada and traveled to Niagra Falls. "1 Can't Wait for a white Christmas. We don't have any humidity in New Zealand and there's no snow on the coast," she said. Shelley shows Maiy Brown, president of the Hastings AFS chapter, a scrapbook she has made about her native country. New Zealand. The final decision about coming to America as ar. exchange student was a big one for Shelley. She says it was something she has wanted to do for a long time but when the deadline arrived for making the final decision she felt alot of pressure about coming, but she says she doesn't regret it. But. one worry was leaving family and friends behind and knowing when she returns to her native country, nothing will be the same as when she left. By the time she returns home, for instance, all of her friends will already be studying at AFS “Connection” to bring world closer By Elaine Gilbert A totally new concept in student exchange programs has been introduced to Hastings through the formation early this year of a local AFS chapter of the international American Field Services organization. The Hastings AFS chapter is comprised of 50 persons in the community who support the exchange program. It's the community support group which makes this exchange program so unique, says Mary Brown, local AFS president. Belonging to AFS does not obligate a family to host an exchange student. Instead, the group shares a common bond of being interested in the exchange program and "sharing” students with families who do want to serve as hosts. Members serve as counselors, resource personnel and friends to students and host families. AFS members are welcome to participate in group activities with the exchange students and enjoy the experiences of friendships with people all over the world while learning about different cultures and similarities among peoples. Besides group functions, AFS families sometimes invite exchange students to their homes tor dinner or to spend a weekend. Members might also take an exchange student on various sight seeing trips. In this way. many can benefit from the . xperiences of an exchange program, said Mrs. Brown. The first two AFS exchange students to be placed in Hastings arrived nere last July. Brigitte Burgy of Switzerland is residing with the Charles Collins family and Shelley Bell of New Zealand is staying with the David Dimmers family. "We believe in people living together in world peace," said Mrs. Brown as she talked of the goals of the program. AFS serves as the vehicle to promote understanding among people in more than 60 nations through scholarship programs for high school students. AFS is non-profit, non-political, and open to all races and creeds. Although AFS is new to Hastings, the organization dates back to post World War II. A group of young American Field Service ambulance drivers in Europe, who served during both World Wars, founded the ex­ change program. “Their belief in the value of personal contact in understanding dif­ ferences and fostering international cooperation inspired the AFS programs which now span the globe," according to information supplied by the organization. AFS has grown to be recognized as the largest international high school exchange organization in the world. A variety ol exchange programs are available through AFS. One of the newest is a domestic program which allows students to learn more about their own country, new Swiss “Miss” resides with Collins family dialects, customs, and points of view by living in another state. Students who live in a suburb may be placed on a farm or urban students may be sent to a host who lives near a national park. A traditional summer exchange and a year-long exchange are offered through the "Americans Abroad Program." A “Winter Program” offers hosting op­ portunities for American families and enables one to four students to attend a local high school in participt ling communities. The “Multi-National program" exchanges students between countries other than the United States. Small groups of teachers from the United States and the U.S.S.R. participate in ex­ changes in AFS’ “Educators’ Program.” Hastings AFS members are in the process of recruiting students from Hastings who desire to participate in AFS programs. The selection is to be made by November 15 and nterested persons are asked to contact local AFS officers or Mickey Furrow in the counseling office at Hastings High School. Serving with Mrs. Brown in the local chapter are Ann Hamaty, family selection coordinator; Linda Peterson, student selection coordinator and treasurer-finance person; Bobbi Roush, student-family liaison; Micky Furrow, faculty advisor; and Frances Horne, publicity coordinator. Persons who are interested in joining the People smile more in Hastings than they u.» in Switzerland. That's an observation of Brigitte Burgy, 17, an exchange student from the village of Haugerive near Neuchatel, Switzerland. Since July. Brigitte has had the op­ portunity for many observations and lear­ ning experiences about life in another country. Through the newly formed Hastings Chapter of American Field Services, she is spending the school year with the Charles Collins family of Hastings. She says she has looked forward to being an exchange studer t “to meet another family and see how they live and to see another country. I like to travel and you can learn more than if you just stay in Swit­ zerland, you can’t know what the rest of the world is like.” Brigitte, a senior at Hastings High, has discovered that school is easier here than in Switzerland and is delighted to be learning the English language. Several languages are spoken in Swit­ zerland, depending on which part of the country you're in. "You can drive just 30 minutes and people will be speaking a dif­ ferent language," she said. The majority speak German, and the rest speak French, Spanish, and about five percent use other languages. Brigitte says the crime rate is lower in her native land. Switzerland also is cleaner than the United States because there are no slums in her country as the state rebuilds homes before they are allowed to deteriorate, she said. Streets are swept daily there. She also notes that houses in her own country appear to be much stronger because most are built of cement and stone. “When J arrived in New York (on her way AFS chapter are also invited to call one of the officers. The local chapter contributes money to the international organization to insure that third and fourth world nations can par­ ticipate in exchange programs regardless of their economic circumstances, said Mrs. Brown. Until the Hastings AFS reaches its third birthday, it will contribute $250 per year to the international organization. After three years, its share of maintaining the scholarship program will be $975. The Hastings group plans to fulfill its financial obligations to AFS through accepting donations and future fund raising projects. Hastings is one of the 2,500 AFS chapters in the United States. More than 30,000 members and 2,700 host far Hies are involved. Overseas. 700 local committees have memberships in the thousands and more than 2,400 host families. Since 1947, nearly 86,000 persons have participated in AFS programs. The benefits of AFS are multiple. "Families and students gain lasting ties to people of other nations and backgrounds, increased appreciation of their own national life and deeper understanding of world problems and the needs of others. Students also develop greater self-awareness, better equipping them for life in a time of cha. lenge and change." to Hastings), it seemed like another world. All your houses are straight and your roads are straight. In Switzerland, it is just the opposite,” said Brigitte. She's also surprised that young men have a choice whether they want to join a military service. All males serve a portion of time in the military in Switzerland. Brigitte has two older brothers. Her father works for the state and her mother is a homemaker. Cheese and swiss chocolate are favorite food subjects for Brigitte. She expressed amazement that most cheese in the United States contains so much artificial coloring. She enjoys talking about the time she went to observe the production of Gruyele chesse in Switzerland. Brigitte "is nearly a vegetarian," but Mrs. Collins says it doesn't pose any problem in her kitchen. She explains that she has an older son and daughter who prefer vegetarian diets too. Brigitte does admit to liking roast beef and hamburgers, “but not all the time." Corn-on-the cob and blueberries are two foods site has enjoyed here. Playing tennis is a sport that Brigitte pursues as a member of the Hastings High School team. She says she also plays oc­ casional in Switzerland. "I don't like cross country skiing. Downhill skiing is better. I'm too lazy for cross country.” she laughs. Since her arrival in Hastings. Brigitte has met many people, attended an October-Fest celebration, visited beautiful Mackinac Island, and traveled to Cedar Point to enjoy the amusement rides. "We have nothing like Cedar Point in Switzerland." she says. Shelley Bell. 18, an exchange student from New Zealand, and Julie Dimmers try a hand at a piano duet.

Johnston ■ wage freeze accepted by the Hastings ers in their new three year contract is je in the state. Robert Miller, ssman for the negotiating team of the ngs Board of Education, said Wed- enew contract was ratified by the board imeeling Monday. Teachers ratified the in a secret ballot Friday. If 218 public school districts in the state have settled contracts this year," Miller ••no district took a wage freeze." e new contract between the board and Hastings Education Association (HEA) I wages at the March 1981 levels for the year, ending June 30,1982. Teachers will jve a 9.5 percent increase in both the nJ a third years. lifer said the average agreement in the praises wages 9.3 percent each year. e the Hastings agreement averages to 63 percent for each year. [he teachers did make a sacrifice," hr said. "The teachers realized the economic problems of the district when they agreed t o po a year with a wage freeze '' Mariam Sorby. HEA president, said that Hastings has always been a leader in ‘the state m contract terms. She noted that Hastings teachers received cost of living allowance (COLA ) before any other district a provision (hat has been eliminated in the new pact. The new contract includes a number of Changes from previous contracts. Miller •Sorby and Peter DeDecker. HEA vjeepresident and a member of the negotiating team, reviewed some of those changes in an interview with The Banner. Wednesday. Miller said the new agreement has a provision requiring junior high school teachers to be qualified in lhe subject they are teaching, regardless of their seniority. I his means that they must have had either a major or minor in lhe subject being taught. This change came from community input. Miller said. Slate law allows both high school and elementary teachers to teach at the junior high level, which previously led to some teachers with seniority teaching courses they had not studied. The Hastings DeDecker said ihis change wasn't a conflict with I he teachers, but was something both sides sought In a letter of agreement attached to the contract, the two sides spelled out class size requirements in the coming three years. The letter sets the teacher-pupil ratio al 25 to I. but allows the ratio to go to 30 to 1 for kin­ dergarten through ’hird grade and 32 to I for fourth through twelfth grade if the financial situation in the district requires further cutbacks. 25 to I lias been set as the standard class size for II years. Miller said the class size agreement was insurance for lhe board that cutbacks could be made if required. ■'The whole concern of lhe Board of Education was money." Miller explained. "Where are we getting the money Io pay for a 9.5 percent increase. The boardagiees with lhe teachers that better education goes on if we can have individual attention." DeDecker added that lhe teachers were concerned that lower elementary students need greater individual attention. "Rather than have a blanket 32 Io 1 ratio."

Miller said class size was one of lhe toughest areas of negotiation because both sides want to keep a low class ratio. "Class size probably held us up lhe longest." DeDecker said. “We were thinking first of the students. We know from ex­ perience that we can give the students more attention with lower class size." Miller added that lhe board is hopeful it uon’t have to raise lhe class size ratio. The new pact place; a cap on the amount of tuition payments which (he board will pay lor advanced education. Miller said that previously the board paid lhe cost of tuition for any teacher, hut now will pay only at the tuition rale of Western Michigan University and only for advanced study after the teacher has earned permanent certification The board expects ihis change to save about $37,000 annually. DeDecker said that lhe board pays tuition for teachers to encourage lhe staff to go Luck to school and keep up with newer trends. Another contract change is that lhe board will not pay fringe benefits for teachers on an unpaid leave of absence as it had in the past.

"This is a tool lo I highly questionable housing.” fck said the Ordinance Committee I like to get the new regulations into as soon as possible. Related move, the council transferred I from the unappropriated surplus to a Housing-Ordinance Inspection Fund |will be used to hire a part-time inf to aid the building inspector. The pe inspector will be hired as soon as I* ordinance is ready. The council learned from John Stratman of Jones and Henry Engineering of Toledo that up to $800,000 in improvements at the wastewater treatment plant may be needed by ’990, though no expansion of the plant will be required. Stratman said an immediate problem that needs to be eliminated is to change the method for disposing sludge from the facility. The sludge is currently stockpiled on farm land and then spread as fertilizer. New stale and federal regulations. Stratman said, do not allow the city to stock­ pile sludge on open land during the cold weather. Stratman recommended that the city expand its holding tanks to increase storage at the facility, a move that would cost about $200,000 plus an additional $8,000 per year in increased operating‘and main­ tenance costs. He estimated that this would increase rates by 12 percent if the city had to foot the bill alone. He suggested that the plan be submitted to the state to find out if any state or federal money is available to assist in the project. William Ransom, director of the treatment plant, criticized the new mandates, saying that no land has been hurt by the present method of disposal. "We’ve checked every well (in the area) year after year.” Ransom said. "Now here comes the Feds’ saying that we will not spread sludge when the ground is frozen.” Ransom said that the sludge doubled the yields at one farm and increased other corn yields by 20 to 25 bushels per acre. Hastings was one of the first wastewater plants in the state to use the sludge for fertilizer. The plant director added that he is less than a year from retirement and favors “slugging it out" with the officials in Lansing over lhe disposal regulations. Stratman outlined other changes in the sewage system which would bring the im­ provements cost to $800,000. He said that only one sewer was in need of improvement, the main interceptor which gels water in it from lhe river during times of high water. Several other interceptors, he continued, are not overloaded now. but might be in the future. Stratman noted that the southwest area of the city is unsewered, but his firm was not able to document any public health problems. He said that one of the three pump stations in lhe system was in marginal condition and he said lhe pump stations should have generators added to run them when the power is out. He addeu that lhe plant could use an ad­ ditional primary clarifier as a backup, which he termed as "extremely expensive". In other action at the meeting: — Ordinances were approved which would permit Planned Unit Developments in rural residential zoning areas of the city. The ordinances allow a mix of uses in Lhe developments, including single and multi­ family housing and commercial businesses and also specify procedures for developers to submit site plans. The only exception will Im* (or teachers on leave tor health problems The contract also changes the grievance procedure (or teachers A limit of ten school days was placed on filing a grievance with the leacher s immediate supervisor, usually ihe building principal If tlx* grievance is unsolved al that point, the teacher then has five days to file with lhe IIEAs Professional Rights and Respon­ sibilities Committee, chaired by DeDecker That committee then has ten days to file with the superintendent if necessary, who then has ten da vs to respond If lhe problem is still unsolved, lhe two negotiating teams will get back together to iron out iheir differences The tinal step, if still unsolved, is arbitration "This is very beneficial to lhe staff." DeDecker said. "This way. we can solve problems a lot sooner." Hastings has not had any grievances that reached arbitration, they said. Teachers will no longer automatically be given athletic passes as in previous con­ tracts. This will be left 'o the board's discretion. If however, lhe board issues passes to any group, the teachers will also receive passes ‘ This provisttu: is in response to com miinity criticism.” Sorby said "It’s tintort unate because teachers were given losses to help control the crowds Miller added that teachers have always heen encouraged to get involved with extra­ curricular activities. "Just a teacher's presence in the stands oftentimes controls kids." DeDecker said. DeDecker also said that having leachers presen’ al extra-curricular activities also helps teachers with students in the classroom \ money-saving item which th? leachers proposed changed the benefits the board will pay Previously, all teachers received full family benefits on insurance. Now. however, leachers can opt for a single benefit if their spouse is covered by insurance through the school or an outside company The Ixuird w ill save about half lhe premium money on those leachers affected. Teachers also requested that they l>e given job descriptions for extra-duty assignments, such as homecoming floats and camping trips, so that they will know their respon­ sibilities and liabilities. Continued on page 5 OTLAM members lose bid Zoning ordinances upheld by Greg Johnson The Barry County zoning ordinances that deal with mobile homes are constitutional, a Kent County Circuit Court judge ruled this week. Five couples, all members of a group of citizens called OTLAM ’Outraged Tax­ payersand landowners of Michigan), lost in their bid lo have the ordinances, which prohibit mobile homes on agriculturallyzoned lands without a special use permit, declared unconstitutional. Four of (he five couples still face prosecution in District Court for violating the existing ordinance. The remaining couple. Mr. and Mrs. Will Simmons. 12901 Case Rd.. Bellevue, benefit from a decision made on Oct. 16. In conjunction with this week's case, Kent County's Judge Sluart Hoffius ruled on Oct. 16. that a mobile home may be placed if lhe home is in compliance with U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) standards. The Simmons home is in com­ pliance with HUD standards, lhe judge ruled. The four couples that face prosecution on charges pending this week's decision are: Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Angus. 4864^Guy Rd.. Nashville. Mr and Mrs. Kenneth McCabe. 4416 Wall lake Rd.. Hastings. Mr. and Mrs. John Abbott, Route 3, Bellevue. Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Dilno, 7600 South Cedar Creek Rd., Delton. The five couples filed lhe suit against the county in August of 1980. All of them secured the same attorney, Steven Kantz of Otsego. Kanlz lias served as lhe attorney for OTLAM since it’s inception in March of 1980. Dale Crowley, chief assistant lo the Barry County Prosecutor, told lhe Banner a week ago that Kent County's Judge Hoffius was appointed lhe case when both Barry circuit Hidges disqualified themselves on lhe grounds that pari <»f their salary is paid by ihe county. Hoffius was appointed lo lhe case by Russell L. Baugh, acting court administrator for the Stale of Michigan. Crowley said that both the county and i ’TI.AM won something from the two mobile home cases. He said that lhe it was a victory for lhe county because they upheld zoning, and it was a victory for mobile home owners liecause the minty cannot impose higher standards than the federal government. Kensinger Jones, chairman of the Barry County Planning and Zoning Commission, said lhe judge's decison in effect says the ordinance is constitutional and (he com­ mission's interpretation of the ordinance is reasonable. “What the judge said is in line with what we liave been trying lo do for about a year now." Jones said. "We have lieen working on amendments to the ordinance fora long lime now. and that includes lhe establishment of HUD standards."

A little bit of history “takes a ride”... Hastings Twp. Hall now at Charlton Pa The Hastings Township Hall has been moved to its new home at Charlton Park Village and Museum. Wednesday afternoon was moving day for the town hall which was built about 1885 near the intersection of Center and Powell roads. It took Smith House Movers of White Cloud only about an hour to move the building to Charlton Park. The township hall has been placed between the I ee School and Hull House at the park’s historic agricultural restored village. Although the building will be part of the historical activitiy at the park, it will con­ tinue to function as the official township hall for residents in the township. It will still be used for elections, the annual meeting and other special events. The first official use at the park will likely be township board of review sessions. Moving and restoration of the hall is being financed by a grant from the Thornapple Foundation. Township officials decided to move the building to the park as a way of preserving the hall for future generations. With the addition of the hall, the park plans to develop an interpretive educational program constructed around the theme of grass roots government. The original site of the hall is located on property deeded to the township in 1872 by Hastings first Mayor, H. A. Goodyear. Plans for the building were submitted January 25, 1884 and accepted April 8 of that year. The- township hall has never been remodeled except for the removal of a stage, book shelves, and voting booth. a heart attack on Oct. 31.

Mr. Richard and his companion, Gaylord Whitney, 5«. was patching eastbound 1-96. Three state trucks were moving in a caravan down the highway. The first truck loaded with gravel, the middle one was towing a trailer loaded with patching material, and the rear truck and trailer carried flashing warning arrow and signs. A large east bound tractor-trailer driven by a Port Huron man crashed into the rear of the third truck, forcing it into the rear of the center truck which in turn was pushed into the rear of the gravel truck and it struck the two men. Mr. Richards had only ten more days to work before he would retire. Many of our older readers, expecially in the Freeport area, will remember that Gaylord spent his earlier years in that village and attended school there. He was the youngest son of Claude ■ and Elnora Whitney. As reported to us, he had both legs broken and severe interna! injuries requiring hours of surgery. We were unable to learn any more about him Monday but he was in serious condition in st. Lawrence Hospital in Lansing.

In lhe nearby town of Guadalupe, there is a Franciscan monastary built in 1707 which contains many valuable and historically-important art treasures. The families also included their guests in family outings to the country. One of Zacatecas’ most attractive features is that it is off the (foreign) tourist path, with the result that foreigners are a rarity. Although the students had studied cultural differences before they left, they were not quite prepared to be the center of attention everywhere they went. In a recent get-together to evaluate lhe trip, Melissa says that she will never forget riding home on the bus with her “sister" Rosa. "When we got off the bus, a bunch of people got off and followed us to lhe door of the house lo get a belter look al me and to see if lhe family would invite them in to meet me." she said. The girls agree that they had expected more primitive living conditions. They found lhe standard of living better than they had expected. All of the host families were of the <tnHnntc ksa Konieczny. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Konieczny.

V • . all are part of the family.” After two weeks in Zacatecas, the group returned by bus to Mexico City where they spent five days as tourists. Among the sites visited were Chapultepec Park. An­ thropological Museum. Latinamerican Tower, the Pyramids of Tenohtillan. Thieves Market, the cathedral and shrine of Guadalupe, and various other markets and landmarks. "Mexico City has loLs of interesting things to see and do. but it is like any other big city­ in many ways." Kathy observed. "The best part of the trip was being part of a Mexican family for two weeks and lhe friendships that we made in Zacatecas." Living in a foreign culture < even for a short timet gave l he students that unique "■•utsidein" look at their own culture They find that they returned home with a greater ap­ preciation of some of lhe facets of life in lhe U.S. that citizens take for granted: “water ”... “punctuality"... “water ’... “general organization’’... “highway system ”... “water"... good drivers"... •household conveniences" and... you guessed it... “WATER!” upper-middle class, a group that is in­ creasing in Mexico al this time. The students also agree that they ex­ perienced no anli-Arnerican sentiments in Zacatecas Lissa was surprised and amused al lhe romantic and poetic compliments from lhe young men.. "There’s no way guys in the states would talk like that!" Some observations made by the travelers: "Regardless of the family’s economic level, their kids are very highly valued. The family always has time to do things for and with their children." "The Mexicans take such good care of possessions -- things are expected to last... old things are repaired and used." "Mexican males are much more romantic­ talking than their U.S. counterparts." “There seems to be more lime for people, for just talking and passing the time of day." “Appreciation of beauty is a basic characteristic... pretty things are displayed with pride." "Folklore and superstition seem a part of daily life." “The more Spanish you know, the less you missed." “Grandparents, cousins, auntsand uncles. (from left) Liso McCellond. Kothy Turnes.

(Photo supplied) Mobile Home Ordinance continued from page 1 Teachers wage freeze story continued from page 1 “The teachers asked for this because it was a void." DeDecker said. "Il needed to be spelled out.” In ratifying the contract, teachers waived lhe planning lime previously provided Io elementary teachers. Elementary teachers had been given planning time while their students were taking music and physical education courses. Budget cuts, however, eliminated those programs and left the teachers with their students throughout the day. “Planning time is involved with preparation in the classroom." DeDecker said. Miller added that lhe goal of both sides is to get those programs back. “It's more than just lhe planning time.” DeDecker continued. “Vocal music and physical education are extremely important programs." Miller said that physical education in the early grades is a program that the board and administration "really believed in". He said that studies show that reading and other skills are developed when the student’s coordination is ready. “Overall." Miller said, “it’s a very fair contract. 1 think that both sides did an ex­ cellent job. The teachers look the wage freeze to maintain the class size. Hopefully, lhe community wiH see this. The contract protects lhe youngster in education. Throughout, the education was the most important thing." Whilelock said an appeal of the ordinance’s constitutionality is one of several alternatives the planliffs have. "We knew we had a lough case trying to prove it was unconstitutional." Whitelock said. "But from a humane standpoint we fought for lhe homes of five families and at least kept one of them." "If they want to call kicking four families out of their homes a victory. I feel sorry for 'hem." lie added. Jones called Whitlock’s remarks "pure inflamatory statements". "We are not out Io kick people out of their homes." he said. “We travel hundreds of miles looking at applications for special use permiLs. Out of 43 last year we turned six down, four of those mobile homes. We have an ordinance that is law and some very qualified people who do a lot of work for $15 a hearing." Both Whitelock and Jones pointed to testimony in the trial that started on Monday and ended on Tuesday, as evidence of their arguments "They tried Io show that we didn’t know what we are doing." Jones said. "I think the judge's decision showed we have good zoning and we are applying it properly." Whilclock said that some things came out in »h<* hearing that could mean lhe mobile home controversy is “not neccesarily over". "We feel we liave good grounds on some things." Whilelock said "There are several options still available Io us." Crowley called the mobile home issue confusing and admitted it may end up in the court room again “The lederal regulations constitute quality. 'he stale laws regulate parks, placement and dealers. and lhe local or­ dinances decide wliere they can go." he said. "A case like 'his has a lot to consider."

State Ph. 945-2963 (Editor’s note: The following statement, published In full, was issued by the Hastings Education Association. Wednesday, as a comment on lhe new contract with the Hastings Board of Education) Hastings teachers, through their bargaining agent, lhe Hastings Education Association, have agreed to a contract calling for a wage freeze for the 1981-82 school year. At the present time, no other association in the slate of Michigan lias ratified a contract calling for such a freeze. Settled contracts elsewhere in Michigan are averaging a 9.3 percent increase for the 1981-82 school year with one district agreeing toa 17.1 percent increase in teacher salaries. According to Mariam Sorby, HEA president, the agreed upon contract actually represents a 1year freeze since Hastings teachers have not had a COI.A (cost of living allowance) increase since March 1981.' In addition, he Hastings teachers have agreed lo continue freezing pay for extraduty assignments, such as coaching, al their 1978 levels. Sorby stated that while the teachers were not happy about a pay freeze during a I ime of continued inflation, they agreed lo lhe un­ precedented action because of their concern for your children of lhe Hastings School District and their committment to lhe leaching profession. "Teachers hope that by showing their concern for lhe economic problems of lhe district they will encourage citizens to also support <>ur schools." added Sorby. The irhee year contract, which was ratified by lhe HEA on November 6 and by the Board of Education on November9. calls for a 9.5 percent salary increase for the last two years of lhe agreement Sorby explained ihat the teachers had hoped to keep cost of living adjustments, which had been a part of their contracts for eight years but had given up on that request in order lo reach a set­ tlement. “The contract is less than we had hoped for. but we are relieved that it is settled '. staled Sorby Don’t worry and wonder about learning your way around town Or what to see and do Or whom to ask. ....

Gordon Barnes, speaker at the Hastings City Bank luncheon, yesterday In a speech to 170 business people and farmers, Wednesday. Gordon Barnes, vicepresident of the investment firm of Heber. Fuiger. Wendin. Inc., urged Hastings people to turn to their bankers fcr investment counselling. The luncheon at the Hastings Moose Lodge was sponsored by Hastings City Bank. Barnes entitled his talk “Investors keepers, savers weepers, the future belongs to the quick '. "Savers are losing against inflation,” Barnes said. "I urge you to change your thinking personally and your corporate attitudes toward your local bank. Look at your local bank, rather than as a saving center, as an investment center." Barnes said bankers and investors can no longer sit still and make money because interest rates are changing quickly. He urged the luncheon guests to turn Io sources who can give them information to move when (he time is right. Talking about the national economy. Barnes iaid Jie is generally in agreement with the policies of the Reagan ad­ ministration. an hereby will be further liberalized, crease bank mergers and mergers and probably bring banking. "I feel that in the right size bank can put their gloves boys and compete." he said, banks from outside an area sitive to local needs and quickly as local banks. He urged use of Individual Accounts (IRA’s) as a Social Security in years old. investing $2,250 in year can amass a million, he said. •Whether you are 20 or 50." he "take advantage of this. Look at the IRA." Barnes said his firm deals •n 13 states. He said Hastings statement of condition is well proportk and the bank was in good position to sv with the economy. He said the local bank is well stocked C good, able executives. "It’s high time we begin to address our­ selves to the question of undoing the fiscal and political ills of 30 years of mismanagement." he said. He blamed many of the- economic ills on politicians pouring money into the economy at election time, which he said occurs about the time when inflation and interest rates are dropping. "We've all got to pay the price,” he con­ tinued. "to contribute in our own way and stop living so high off the economic hog.” He said that Reagan is half-way there with his tax cut program, which now needs to be balanced by spending cuts. "We have to cut out the giveaway programs intended to buy votes,” he said. Barnes said that Michigan is witnessing potentially the deepest recession since the Great Depression of the 1930's. He criticized the management of the automobile industry for its problems. "The Japanese are doing a much better job of plain, ordinary management than we are.” he claimed. While saying he was not indicting unions, he charged that many have gotten too much. LattWbrt Arson Rotary seeks exchange students, hosts Rotary International Youth Exchange committees are currently interviewing students who wish to spend the 1982-83 high school year abroad, or a few weeks in the summer of 1982. They are also receiving applications from families who wish to host a short-term exchange student from Brazil this winter, or from other countries next summer. Details are ava lable from local Rotary Clubs, or from IYE, Box 32, Mon­ ticello. Illinois, 217-762-2171. During the past year, dozens of school-year and short-term exchanges have been started or completed between area families and their counterparts in Austria, Australia, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, England. Finland. France. Germany, Holland. India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Norway, Sweden. There are thousands of such Rotary ex­ changes each year, worldwide. Other highly regarded organizations sponsor similar exchange programs, all with common goals of international friendship and world peace. To apply for next year's school-year Rotary exchanges, a student need not be related to a Rotarian, but should currently be a high school sophomore or junior, a good student, of good character, and willing to become proficient in the language of the host country to which he is assigned. Country assignment is by mutual agreement of the committee and the student. Short-term exchanges are similaily bet­ ween both Rotary and non-Rotary families. Short-term students may be either high school or college age. Rotary Youth Exchange officials recommend such exchanges as the ideal way to get to know another country and its people. It is much less expensive than tourist travel, inasmuch as room and board are provided by the host family in their home, and the host PUBLIC NOTICE All persons He added, however, that in Detroit, unions and management are now taking a more conciliatory approach to mutual problems. The economist said he is optimistic about the economy next year, with the Gross National Product rising about 24 percent, the Consumer Price Index ranging from eight to ten percent and unemployment slaying at the current eight percent. Housing starts, however, he predicted, w ill be at about 1.2 million units. 400,000 short of the industry's capacity. Because many banks saw the cost of their money double in about 24 months, he predicted that even if the prime rate drops to 12 or 13 percent, next year, many banks and savings and loans will still not have an ap­ petite for long-term mortgages. "The principal factor in the high cost of money." he said, "is the participation of the federal government in lendable funds." Last year, he continued, the federal government borrowed 36 percent of the lendable funds in the nation, money which should have gone to cars, houses and other consumer products. He forecasted that banking regulations notified rtxrt the Fiwc! Rotary Club provides a modest monthly allowance for school-year students. The sending family pays only the air fare, extra spending money, and a small sum for in* surance and processing costs. Some families, whose children do not wish to travel abroad, nevertheless have a significant experience in international un­ derstanding by hosting a foreign student for a few weeks. The cost is moderate, con­ sisting only of providing room and board in the family home. Deadlines for applying for the two current programs are as follows: 1982-83 school-year outbound students - fall interviews November 10, 1981, spring interviews March 15.1982. Host families for Brazilian students Nov-ember 15, 1981. Summer, 1S82, ex­ changes - as soon as possible, and no later than March 1. 1982.

Fire Chief Roger Caris said the flames were already through the roof of the bar when he arrived at the scene with the first truck. Caris estimated the damage to the Sports Bar at $100,000 and the damage to Sisters Fabrics at $104,000. The Sports Bar is owned by Joseph F. Labozetta, Jr.. 319 E. Green St.. Hastings. Caris said. Owners of Sisters Fabrics are Karen Hardin, 206 Meadow La.. Hastings and Virginia Garvey, 1000 Podunk Lake Rd., according to the chief. That building is owned by Richard Freer, 414 S. Michigan Ave., Hastings. Assisting Hastings firemen with the blaze were firemen from Woodland, Freeport. Middleville, Nashville, Hickory Comers. Orangeville Johnstown and the Department of Natural Resources. Lake Odessa firemen manned the Woodland department so chose men could man the Hastings department while the fire was being fought. A total of nine trucks and 50 men were used to contain the fire and to aid in mopping up. Monday evening, a fire struck Cappon’s Warehouse at 1601 S. Hanover St. Dutch Cappon, owner of the business, estimated his damage at over $100,000. He said Wednesday that he lost two oil delivery trucks, a garage, tools and equipment and $6,000 in inventory that suffered water damage. Caris said he believed the Cappon fire was caused by a faulty fuel oil stove which blew up. One of the two trucks parked in the garage had 100 gallons of gasoline in it. Each of the trucks is valued at $30,000. “The firemen did a fantastic job of con­ taining it," Cappon said. “There's no telling what could have happened if it blew." Firemen retrieved a computer wheel balancer from the building, which would have upped the contents loss if not saved. Assisting in that fire were men from Middleville, Nashville, Freeport and Woodland. The Hastings department received the alarm at 7:05 p.m., Monday from Frantz Buick-Chevrolet. jmen were at the scene of the Sports Bar blaze shortly after 3:44 a.m., nesday.

They knew where they were Arson reward offer doubled The growing incidence and severity of arson as a major crime in Michigan has promoted the Michgian Arson Committee to double its reward ceiling for information which leads to arrest and-or conviction of anyone on arson-related charges. According to State Police Captain William R. Rucinski. Chairman of the Michigan Arson Committee, the arson problem in Michigan is “monstrous... approaching epidemic proportions”. Rucinski said the maximum reward will be raised from $1,000 to $2,000 immediately. He pointed to the “success of the arson reward program during the past six years of its existence” as leading to the increase in the reward payoff. “We want to stimulate more persons to step forward with information leading to arrest of arsonists” he said. Instituted in September 1975. the arson reward program has resulted in nearly $30,000 being paid to citizens who have supplied tips other important information resulting in arson arrests. ‘T ™ “* Beginning at MENT (■Mpuckur .,/versar,, going and they had the vision.

What is apparent, plain and obvious to us now. looking back from fifty years, was the vision of only one man al that time in 1930. However, the idea caught on rapidly and gained supporters and devotees. Soon the prestigious University of Michigan sent its students in the School of Public Health to be assigned to county health departments for study. Significantly Dr. Henry Vaughn, dean of the school, was a trusted friend of W. K. Kellogg. Unnumbered people were trained in their specialties during externships and summer college vacations. The success of the testing of the hypothesis until it became a proved theory has become known nationally and internationally. Today we face another threshold in public health. The focus of public health has sub­ tlety shifted from the individual person, as it was in 1930 when W. K. Kellogg launched his grand experiment, to the macro effects of events and causes upon communities of people. In short, the efforts of public health are devoted to what groups of people are doing or may do to groups of people. As the practice of medicine lias evolved from the 1930 s through the WTO’s. the focal length of medical treatment has generalized from the individual to the community. The antibiotic discoveries of the 1930‘s no longer excite the medical practitioner as much as the discovery of a new substance or com­ bination of substances in epidemic proportions; witness the PBB Scare of the 197O’-s and the Acid Rain Phenomenon of the 1980’s. The unanswered questions, of course, are: what caused it? who is affected? what to do about it? • AUCTION • Truckload Sale of New Tools THURSDAY NOVEMBER 19 7:00 P.M. VFW, 123 E.

For convenience of travel and im­ mediate communication of results, a group of seven counties surrounding the home of the Foundation were chosen for the ex­ periment. Barry County, immediately north and west of Calhoun County and Battle Creek, was a logical and natural setting for implementing the first strategy. The sgttlers of Barry C-Ainty had stopped in or near Battle Creek before migrating to the rolling hills and lush farm lands of Assyria. Hope. Thornapple and Woodland Townships. The physicians who settled in Lacey and Hastings had been fostered by Battle Creek physicians and urged to establish their practices in Barry County. The county general practitioners had volunteered im­ munization and other modern practices. W.K. Kellogg was impressed with the need to provide simple medical tests for people isolated by miles from daily communication with medical centers. He sought to blend “WE’VE GOT A DATE NOV. 19 th?

The tour progressed to the Lyman Museum and then along the Hamakua Coast, across the great Parker Ranch, enroute to Kamuela. Descending toward the oc»?an. the lava flows began to appear as lhe tour approached Kona From The Big Island of Hawaii, the tour moved along to Maui. "The Valley Island." After a visit to Lahaina, historic whaling capital of the Pacific, the tour continued to the lao Valley, along the Amilfi Highway to visit the “Needle", a unique lava-formed natural wonder. Lovely scenes of golden Kaanapali Beach preceded breathtaking sunsets over the ocean. Kauai. "The Garden Isle" was the next stop. Geologically the oldest and lushest of all. it’s a flower lover’s paradise. After a short cruise up lhe Wailua River to the Fern Grotto where a rendition of the haunting Hawaiian Wedding Song was performed by natives, visitors vividly recalled the thousands of weddings that have taken place in the lush Fern Grotto. From Kauai, it was only a short flight to Oahu. "The Gathering Place", Honolulu and Waikiki Beach. Such attractions as the Punchbowl, the national cemetery of lhe Pacific, Pearl Harbor, Sea Life Park and Diamond Head were among lhe many at­ tractions colorfully portrayed.

State Representative Don Gilmer (R-Augusta) charged. In its place, the Democrats voted lo deny property tax relief to 44 percent of the people in an eleventh hour move that would force delayed revenue sharing payments to cities, delayed school aid payments to financially strapped districts, and would cost the slate a* least 515 million in interest penalties. in addition. Gilmer explained, the Democrat proposal permits "double dip­ ping” by welfare recipients who pay properly taxes or rent with general assistance funds. A year-old law sponsored by Republicans which prohibited lhe practice saved the state $20 million for the ’.980 lax year. An effort to extend the law was defeated by Democrats despite estimates that it could save the state another $20 million for 1982. Gilmer said Republicans walked off the floor in disgust when Democrats substituted a new bill for the one containing the Republican plan, refused lo consider any amendments and pushed it through on a straight party line vote. The Democrat proposal had been scuttled earlier in the day when the Republican property lax relief plan was approved by an overwhelming 82-23 votes.

There is so much in Sweden to appreciate end enjoy and Ric Dougherty takes die audience on a tour of this Scandinavian county as he narrates the film. This is the third of seven programs in the club’s world travel series. The movie will include a visit to Deer Park, the Royal Palace, and bustling Stockholm Harbor in Stockholm. The audience will discover why Stockholm is called the "Venice of the North" and also will experience the countryside and its festivals, traditions and interesting crafts like glass-making. The Gota Canal ride and visits to Goteborg, Helsingborg, Malmo and Kiruna will be interesting features of the film. Most of all, enjoy the vitality of the people, and be charmed by their good humor. Narrator Dougherty spent 20 years of his life as a furniture importer and manufac­ turer. His travels abroad buying his product created a keen interest in cultures of people the world over. It was only natural when he retired to want to continue his interest, the study of the development of these cultures. Dougherty began to film these cultures and to share them with audiences in the U.S. and Canada. A veteran of World War II, he spent five years in the Pacific as a Marine Sergeant.

Unfortunately, the availability of ice rinks is hard to find. To combate this void in program activity, floor hockey was developed 10 years ago. Interest in this sport has paralleled the fantastic growth of ice hockey. Floor hockey offers the participant fun. action, excitment, and competition. The game allows everyone the opportunity to play without the need for specialized training or equipment. Movement drills, endurance, agility, flexibility and balance are emphasized rather than strength, power and size This year the YMCA-Youth Council will be offering a floor hockey program to boys and girls in grades 3-8. The program will be held on Saturday mornings at the Hastings Junior High starting Nov. 14. and continue until December 19 «excluding Nov. 28.) The participant needs to bring only gym clothes, and the YMCA will supply all the rest of the equipment. For those in the junior high, their game times are: 8:15-9:15 a.m., those in 3-4 grades: 9:30-10:30 a.m.. and those in 5-6 grades 10:45-11:45 a.m There is no cost for this activity thanks tu the community’s support of the community fund drive and the support of the adult women’s volleyball league who raised the money for the gym rental fee. Pre-registration is not required for this activity.

ByGreg Johnson The radio didn’t play Football practice the week before last Friday’s football game was strange at Hastings High. Usually the music blasts from the radio competing with the youthful voices of the Saxon football team rapping about the events of the day. the latest school gossip and girls. But Monday the radio didn’t play. Someone was missing from practice. Not lhat strange of an occurence. but this guy had a good reason. He lost a leg as a result of a car accident. Coach Don Fulmar told me he had the strangest feeling about lhe week’s practices. When lhe Saxons get done with the game they take a knee Io pray. Coach Folmar did that when he played for Muddy Waters and his players sliU do it today Taking a knee to pray wasn’t just a duty during this week of practice. Folmar said this is one of lhe most ‘‘together" teams he has ever coached. •They all like each other and urge each other to perform." he said. "I think this really hit them hard." The senseless tragedy of losing a classmate and seeing a teammate maimed for life brings high school sports into per­ spective fast. Winning becomes the last thing you think about. You'start thinking that it could have happened Io you. You go to a funeral and you see grief. Grief like you have never seen it before. .

The season starts on Sunday, Nov. 15, and a record harvest, possibly the highest ever is expected, Lerg says. More antlerless deer permits have been issued this year than ever before and Lerg says that means we should a lot of deer on cars heading home Sunday evening. In fact, he estimates one of every six hunters will come home with a deer on the hood. He reports that both Barry and Allegan County report high population of deer. Caution: take care of yourself, be careful, ask permission and respect your fellow hunter. No snow is expected so snow tracking will not be a factor.

Milliken's economic recovery package to several members <>( the Hastings business community at the Elks Lodge.Gilmer pointed out the obstacles The luncheon meeting was sponsored by the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce The two main harriers to the passage of the recovery package are the partisan makeup of the state legislature and the great amount of influence that organized labor has over many Democratic legislators, he said • Sixty-four Democrats have absolute control of lhe House and they chair every committee." Gilmer said. "Any bill needs •he majority of legislature's approval." He added that the same is true in the Senate, in which Republicans arc also in the minority. Gilmer said that organized labor is such a powerful lobby that many legislators, will not vote on a bill without first consulting local union officials. Gilmer considers the governor's economic recovery package the most important one of his five years in office. Gilmer described in detail lhe bills in the package He considers lhe must important one to be unemployment insurance reform. Hit 5175 and SB 518.

Benefits would be reduced dollar dollar for all benefits received during the time of disabil.'v for any payments funded hy the employer received under a selfmsurance plan, a wage continuation plan, a disability insurance policy or retirement program The bill would eliminate fringe tanefits from the calculation of average weekly wages -upon which iieneiits are basedt and increase interest for delayed payment The legislation would also reduce attorney lees under some circumstances other lulls include Worker's Compensation •IB 5176t.

Former Health Dept, staffers recall memories Dr. Matthew Kind*, th* first director of the Health Department, sent this recent photo of himself. Dr. Kinde. 76, now resides in Florida and humorous!/ wrote on the back of the photo that th* picture was taken "at th* end of the golf swing. Note: the ball hasn't been touched." Memories of the early days of the Barry CoOhty Health Department and a partiality toward Barry County are reflected in letters to Director Dr. Edwin Larkin, M.D., and James K Gordon, on the occasion of the department’s 50th anniversary Lulu St. Clair Blaine of Bedford remem­ bers her introduction ’.o Barry County was on a hot July day in 1931. After she met Dr and Mrs. Matt Kinde, director, and Sue Nobles, nurse, in Hastings she was taken by Dr. Stuart Pritchard to see Mr. W. K. Kellogg at his home on Gull Lake. She was interviewing for a position as nursing and health education director of The W. K. Kellogg Foundation. One of Mrs. Blaine's first responsibilities in Barry County was finding qualified nurses who would work with teachers and other health professionals in improving the health program in the public schools. “It may have been partiality on my part but I always favored Barry County in keeping the best staff in all the counties.” Dr. Matthew R. Kinde of North Fort Myers, Florida, wrote of many fond memories of his career in Hastings. 19301935, “right in the bottom of the great depression, eggs 5c per dozen. 100 rural schools (one room) in Barry County mostly on muddy roads." Dr. Kinde toured the health department’s office and The W. K. Kellogg Foundation office on a visit here this summer. He enclosed a photograph of himself "al the end of the golf swing, note that the ball hasn’t been touched.’’ Francis (Mrs. Edseil) Martindale whose husband, "Ted,’' was one of the first directors of The W. K. Kellogg Pine I^ake Camp Program, a year around camp for youngsters, remembers the involvement of Mr. and Mrs. Keith Gordon. James K. Gordon's parents, in the camp program. She has promised to write an account of the cajnp program, “the many, many things about it which in the end changed our lives com­ pletely and for the better. Lyman and Gertrude Chamberlain of Dimondale. Michigan, are looking forward to attending the celebration if it is at all possible. They furnished the address of Mrs. Jack Allen, the former Velma Sledge, who was a clerk with the department. Dr. J. K. Alt la.id, M.D , of Lansing fur­ nished the names of others involved in the early 1940's of the health department when he was on staff: Sylvia Peabody. Morton Hilbert. Kathleen Perry of Wall Lake and Betty Harlow of Shrewsbury. Mass. Dr. Vergil N. Slee. M.D.. of Ann Arbor plans to attend the celebration. He furnished the addresses of Barbara Wilcox, R.N., Newark. Delaware. Andrew Pattullo of the foundation. Howard Tredinnick of Englewood, Florida. Eimer Sanborn of Kalamazoo and Vinson R. Oviatt of Swit­ zerland. If the latter attends he will probably get the prize for “who came the longest distance." Camp for malnourished kids was one of Health Departments first projects in 1932 The unknown author of an unpublished history ol the first ten years, 1931-1941, of the Barry County Health Department described the camp program for school children. Barry County, the first county in the Michigan Community Health Project of The W. K. Kellogg Foundation, was the site of two camp programs for school children. In the spring of 1932 the foundation built a summer camp at Pine Lake. Each of twentytwo cabins housed seven children and a counsellor. An administration building contained a common kitchen, dining room and recreation room A camp sim ilar to the one at Pine Lake was constructed on Clear Lake in Baltimore Township in 1932. Camp sessions were of one to four weeks’ duration. Both camps Hastings grad to appear in Olivet production A Dowling woman will play a part in an upcoming Olivet College musical Nov. 20 and 21. Teresa Gilmore, a Hastings High School graduate and freshman at Olivet College will play the part of an “urchin” in “The Roar of the Greasepaint, The Smell of the Crowd.” She will also be in the chorus of the musical. Gilmore is studying biology and music. She is the daughter of Norma and Earl Gilmore, 12305 Hutchinson Rd. originally served only Barry County school children. The administration building at Pine Lake was remodeled in 1940 for winter use. A heating system was installed and partitions put in both the dining room and recreation rooms, making dormitories. Fifty children could be accommodated during the winter. Nearly all children sent to winter camp were malnourished. Their diet and activities were carefully supervised and an average gain of four pounds weight per child was made. The winter camps instituted an educational program since children attended for twelve-week periods. The children chosen were those who would benefit more from a longer camp period than those chosen for summer camp. The counsellors were qualified teachers as well as experienced campers. Several changes took place in the camping program during the years. The summer months were available to organizations which were permitted to arrange the selection of children. Winter campers were chosen from any community agency within the state which worked toward the "health, happiness and well being of children." In 1939-1940 the Clear Lake Camp was used as a demonstration center; the school children and teachers of an entire school district attended for a period of two weeks.

Sager Rd., Hastings, Mi. 49058 health and dental examinations of school children were held in the schools during the years 1931 through 1934. The participating physicians and dentists made the examinations. Parents were urged to be present at the time of examination. Notices of defects found were sent to all parents not present and follow-up home calls were made to u> ge and arrange corrections. The health and dental examinations were made an educational procedure through the cooperation of the physicians, dentists, nurses and teachers. Experience demonstrated that a better doctor-family relationship seemed to prevail when the examinations took place in the physician's or dentist's own office. People preferred to have their family doctor or dentist do the examination in most cases and the latter had better facilities and op­ portunity to make appointments for remedial treatment. This change was consistant with the foundation 3 principles of the community health project. An interesting aspect of the new depart­ ment's programs was the health examination of pre-school children in the period 1931-1935. Conferences for the examinations were held in each township and urban centers. Lay people formed committees of five to ten members who visited the homes of pre-school children, informed the parents of the pre-school conference and provided transportation for the parents and children where needed. Post graduate work in the field of health was offered to physicians, dentists, school administrators, teachers, hospital I ad­ ministrators and nurses, at universities and in Barry County. The unknown author summarized: "The Barry County Health Department in com­ pleting its tenth year can fed it has made accomplishment. Attitudes have changed and the people of the county have something that can never be taken from them; more knowledge of health and how to secure and keep it." In the 1941 annual report of the Barry County Health Department, this photo was used to illustrate the importance of dental care in the total health program.

Cool, the new manager of '.he Hastings City-County Airport, was appointed last Tuesday by the Airport Commission Charles F Murphy, chairman of the Airport Commission, said they had many­ reasons to choose Cool for the job. Cool's dedicat ion to flying and the fact that he lives at the airport are both important reasons However. Murphy said."W« lost a lot of applicants because there is not much income at the airport ” Murphy said that Cool had been living al the airport for a long lime and he knows exactly what he's getting into. Neither the city or the county pays Cool's salary Instead, he makes his money from the hanger receipts and other business at the airport Cool. 31. a graduate of Thornapple-Kellogg High School, became interested in flying after returning from the Army in 1971. Reapportionment plans to cut county commissioners positions Refnre the job at the airport. Cool had been living al the airport for eight months. Cool, who owns a plane, had been spending a lot of time at the airport anyway. Asked why he took the job. he said" It was convenient at the time." The airport, formally known as Hastings Elying Service, also offers flying lessons When instructor Pete Dejager has a group of six students, he flies with them for a total of 20 hours for S14 an hour. Plane rental is $27 an hour. "It takes 40 hours of flying in order to get a pilot's license. "Cool said. The license is for life, only the medical certificate needs to be renewed. Cool and his beagle. Duffy, live in the while, one-story house next Io the airport parking lot. L'niike commercial airports, life by the Hastings City County Airport is quiet. Cool is one of the lucky people whose job is also his hobby. "Aviation is more than just a hobby, it stays with you for life."he said. by l.iz Kingsbury Barry County is likely t<»end up with fewer members on the Board of Commissioners after reapportionment of districts is com­ pleted Only one of 11 plans submitted to the Barry County Reapportionment Committee calls lor 11 seats on the county board, the number currently in effect The committee received the new plans at its meeting, last Thursday The committee received three plans for five commissioners, three plans for seven, one lor eight, two for nine, one for ten and one lor eleven. 'At this point, seven seems to be the likliest number." said County Clerk Norvai Thaler. Thaler said the committee is trying to find a plan that would have an equal amount of people in each district. "A good share of the maps submitted broke up townships," Thaler said. If this were to happen, then the county would need more ballot machines during elections Jim Cool, the now manager of the Hastings City-County Airport, stands by his red and white Balance Septembra at his home: the airport.

The September 1980 jobless rate for the two counties was 11.7 percent compared to 9.1 percent for this year Despite a statewide drop in unem­ ployment. seven of Michigan's 13 job market areas showed an increase in their jobless rales during September.

(Photo supplied) Provincial House resident makes pillows...pillows...pillows by Ella Cholnskl Ethel Nicoian has a hobby that is a comfort to those who like to relax. She makes pillows! Pillows of every size, shape, color and design fill the counters of lhe activities room and showcase at Provincial House Hastings where Mrs. Nicolaii is a resident. There are heartshaped ones, gingham ones and lacy, ruffled ones that would make anyone feel like royalty. A resident of the skilled nursing home for two years, Mrs. Nicolaii sells her pillows in the facility's showcase as well as at open houses that are held. Last year, she made about ten for the Christmas bazaar and this year she’s already started to set some aside for the occasion. Mrs. Nicolaii, who is 72-years-old, designs and sews all of her pillows. She cuts out the pieces and then stitches them together by hand. The activities director, Rosemary Shaffer, said that they all work together at a Monday craft session to put finishing touches on their handiwork. Besides the pillows, Mrs. Nicolaii makes lap robes, baby quilts and full-sized quilts. Her sewing talent stems from when she was a housewife and sewed her own dresses. She was born and raised in Marion and after traveling around the state a bit, settled in Lake Odessa. She has nineteen stepgrand children and is looking forward to this February when ner stepgranddaughter gets married. Mrs Nicolaii came to Provincial House from a nursing home in Ionia. At Provincial House, she receives specialized nursing care for a heart condition and also because she has a plastic hip as a result of a car accident several years ago. She says she has met a lot of new friends at the nursing home. She'll often sit and chat with them and staff members while she makes a pillow.

S.S.A Ann Bratton, formerly Ann Perry, has written a letter to the Barry County Historical Society on her experience with the Home Maternity Delivery Program of the county health department in 1940 and 1941 Mrs. Bratton, wife of Ray Bratton, county drain Commissioner, writes: In 1939 a Home Maternity Delivery Program was sponsored by the Kellogg Foundation in the seven counties of the Michigan Community Health Project, tine nurse from each county was given a two month training course at the Chicago Maternity Center in Chicago. I was a registered nurse and was chosen for Barry County. The service was planned to help families who could not afford to pay for hospital care or for families where the mother was needed at home Io manage the household with lhe help of her husband or an out-of-family person. Il was hoped the program would result in heaMhier babies and belter care for mothers. Il was not necessarily a service for the poor, but most of the families were in lhe lower income bracket. The families were asked to contribute any amount for lhe sendee which they could. It was expected that families would pay S3 to $25. During lhe two years of the program the families paid less and less. I don't believe $100 was paid in lhe two years in all seven counties. The nurses sometimes received tokens of appreciation. One time I was given a bushel of onions. others received hand made articles, such as an apron, a pretty towel with lace, or a pair of pillow cases. I'm sure they were given as a sincere "thank you." Once I was offered a new born pig. one of a litter of 13 baby pigs It was my turn lo say. "thank you. no." ‘I had no way lo raise a baby pigi. When we trained at the Maternity Center in Chicago, we went out as a learn on home deliveries, one doctor, one intem in ob­ stetrics <a Iwo-month internship), and a nurse. A pre-natal visit had already been made lo the home by a city health depart ment officer, a list of needed supplies had lieen made and instructions to lhe mother or father had been given. As soon as labor started the Center was called and lhe delivery team was sent to lhe home. All I ransportat ion was made by street car. no matter how lar or what kind of weal her The nurse set up for delivery while 'he doctor checked the patient and noted lhe progress. Sometimes we were in a home ten or twelve hours. To fill the time from arrival to delivery, we played cards, took walks 'generally to a restaurant), look a nap 'if possible) or read papers and books.

I’m concered about lhe stores in our area that openly display porno­ magazines. Did you know that Penn­ sylvania's Congress passed a law on Jan 3. 1981 (Bill No. 1090) which makes the display of pornographic material in businesses which are open lo minors a first degree isdemeanor? Another area of concern is cable-porn, 1-ist month I was invited to my sisters home < they have HRO) and watched a movie with a PC. rating. I was shocked to witness that PG today would probably have been rated R when 1 was in high school, and I'm only 28 years old! People who enjoy these label it the American Way 'progress.) But don't you find it ironic that in societies such as Russia, they don't allow films and magazines with sexual permissiveness al all? Oddly enough they have found the more sexually per­ missive a society becomes, the less creative energy it exhibits. People, the more we think of pornography as a harmless source of pleasure-lhe less we think of God & Country. I prefer lo think «)f ihe latter as lhe American Way. and por­ nography a form of subtle sabatage.

(Note: The program became obsolete because as a part of a national movement, there occurred a sv itch to almost universal acceptance of the hospital as the proper locale for the delivery of bahies.) It's gratifying lo know that some people still care about whats happening lo our senior citizens. There are those who heard our pleas that without additional dollars, we would have lo shut down our Elderly and Handicapped Transportation System by October 31. 1981 if we did not receive some donations. We are earnestly trying to con­ tinue our Transportation System until Public Transit becomes a reality for Barry’ County and without experiencing a break in service. An article was published monthsago stating our problems and a few people were touched to the point of giving donations to support our senior citizens of Barry County. We received several private donations; $100.00 from the Hastings Senior Citizen Organization; $100.00 from the Thornapple Garden Club & $140.00 from the employees of the Viking Corporation.

November 19. 1981__Page 6 Safe holiday driving will continue decline in state traffic deaths Safe driving by motorists on Michigan highways over Thanksgiving weekend can continue this state's year long decline in iraffic deaths, according to the Automobile Club of Michigan "So far this year, iraffic deaths are ap­ proximately 13 percent below the 1980 loll,” said Robert Cullen. Auto Club's Safety and Traffic Engineering manager. "On Nov. 8. there were 1,310 traffic depths as compared with 1,508 for the same period of 1980." Cullen cautioned that last Thanksgi-ing weekend marked the first time since 1977 that tiaffic fatalities increased on that holiday. Michigan's Thanksgiving weekend death loll declined from 32 in 1977 to 28 in 1978 and 27 in 1979 before rising to 32 last year. Cullen cited darkness, two-lane roads and driving in familiar surroundings as the major factors in the 32 deaths recorded during the 102-hour Thanksgiving period in 1980. More than half of the fatal accidents oc­ curred in darkness and about 80 percent were on two-lane roads and vithin 25 miles of the drivers' home. Thanksgiving weekend driving traditionally is only about half tiiat of a summer holiday weekend, and this year's iravel is expected to equal the 1980 holidayabout 350 million miles traveled from 6 p in. Wednesday 'Nov. 25) to midnight Sunday i Nov. 29) Heaviest concentrations of traffic should be in the Detroit area on Thanksgiving Day 'Nov. 26). The annual Thanksgiving Day parade in downtown Detroit is expected to attract more than 500.000 persons. The parade starts at 9:25 a m. at Woodward and Puinam and proceeds south on Woodward to Fort, where it is expected to wind up about 11 a.m. The Detroit Lions’ game at theSilverdome is 'radilionally a sellout on Thanksgiving Day. and close to 80.000 persons should descend on the stadium in Pontiac to see the Lions pnd the Kansas City Chiefs. Kickoft is scheduled for 12:30 p.m., but football fans should be in the stadium area al least one hour before. Motorists will en­ counter heavy traffic on 1-75 near Pontiac one hour before and after the game, which should end around 3:30 p.m. The final weekend of the firearm deer season also will result in heavy con­ centrations of deer hunter iraffic on the stale's freeways the Friday and Sunday after Thanksgiving The airlines' bargain fares for New York iravel produced sellouts for nearly all flights io (he Big Apple Thanksgiving week, and most flights to popular Florida destinations also were heavily booked in advance. Other popular holiday destinations include Hawaii. Washington, New Orleans and Toronto. Airlines spokespersons emphasized that travelers on standby have a good chance of getting space because of last-minute can­ cellations. Expanded parking areas also will give air travelers ample parking space at Detroit Metropolitan Airport, according to an airport spokesperson. An Auto Club survey shows 35 of Michigan's 55 major ski areas plan to operate lifts over the Thanksgiving holiday period, weather permitting. They are: Southeast Michigan-Alpine Valley, near Milford; Irish Hills, near Onsted; Ml. Brighter, near Brighton; Mt. Grampian, near Oxford; Mt.

United Fund drive inching to $100,000 The Hastings Area Commraity Fund’s annual United Fund campaign is inching toward the $100,000 mark, with contributions in the Industrial Division exceeding last year’s. Marshall Belson, executive director of the func. reported contributions of $96,159. The Industrial Division has collected $52,645. $832 over. Ja&L year.---------••Overall. I’m very pleased with com­ munity response,” John L. Walker, cam­ paign chairman, said. “People have been digging a little bit deeper because they know that there are some programs that could be cut.' Walker said that he hopes the campaign can reach last year’s collections of $100,249.61. “This year is a down year in the economy in Hastings as far as employment," Walker said. “I felt that although we set what we felt was a reasonable budget, that if we collected as much as last year. I’d be pleased. Con­ tributions have been good. The Industrial Division is up from last year with less em­ ployees." Walker said he hopes the campaign can be snapped up b.'xxUy after the December 1 deadline. Totals in the campaign are: Industrial Division..................................$52,645 Retail Division.......................................... 5,414 Public Agencies......................................... 5,999 Schools....................................... 8,553 Residential Division................................. 4,064 Professional Division................................5,599 Commercial Services.............................. 13,403 Retail Services............................................ 482. A ten day deadline for taking the oath of office slipped by unbeknown to Hastings Mayor-elect Kenneth J. Howe, but a special resolution of the City Council, passed Monday night, will allow him to take his oath of office anyway. The city charter requires that newly elected officials take the oath within ten days after the election, a deadline missed by Howe and Treasurer Phyllis Haines. The charter does, however, allow; the council by resolution to extend the deadline for taking the oath of office. "Unless somebody was aware of that, they might not know,” Richard Shaw, city at­ torney, said. "The city charter was written when people took office right after the election.’’ Haines was on vacation week after the election, which caused her to miss the deadline. At the request of the Retail D:*rision of the . Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce, parking fees downtown will be eliminated on three Fridays and Saturdays in December. "Free parking encourages people not to shop out-of-town during the holiday season," Michael McKay, retail chairman, wrote in a letter to the council. Meters will not be enforced on December 4, 5, 11, 12, 18 and 19. Mark Steinfort, who will become police chief on Decmeber 4, said after the meeting that strict enforcement of the meters will go into effect on December 1, except for the designated free days. Another request from the Chamber was turned down due to lack of time. The retailers requested that the Christmas decorations be up for Thanksgiving weekend. Michael Klovanich, director of public services, indicated that the decorations require a crew for two days and not enough lime was left to get them up. He said work will start on the decorations on November 30. Mayor Ivan Snyder directed Shaw to notify a garbage service that they were not com­ plying with a city ordinance. Snyder said Rick’s Disposal Service was picking up garbage at the curb and did not have a city license or permission from the council for the service. “They should be notified that they are in violation," Snyder said. "Either do it legally, or get out of the business." Snyder added that he had reports of gar­ bage being scattered by dogs who found it at the curb. An insurance premium bill for the city's "Special Multi-Peril Policy” was authorized for payment to Coleman Agency. Donna Kinney, city clerk, noted that the $11,453.94 bill was lower than last year’s premium of $14,535. She said later that the policy, a combined policy instituted several years ago covering city buildings and property. machinery, fleet, personal injury liability and other areas, costs substantially less than previous individual policies for those areas. Council member Mary Lou Gray, chair­ man of the Parks, Recreation and Insurance Committee, said that the city’s two-year lease with James Tobias for the house at Fish Halchery Park was due for renewal. Tobias, she said, had requested a five-year lease and would insulate and put up aluminum siding on the house at no cost to the city. Tobias, Gray added, maintains the house and park, including mowing, in exchange for the lease. Gray reported that a premium Figure for the new self-insurance trust fund being joined by the city for hospitalization in­ surance had been received from Yaeger and Company, which operates the trust. She said the premium will be lower than the premium currently being paid to Blue Cross-Blue Shield. The new policy will go into effect on January 1. Neighbors oppose rebuilding Wall Lake Tavern-Restaurant in residential zone About 13 Wall Lake area residents at­ tended the Barry County Board of Com­ missioners meeting Tuesday to show unity in opposing a rezoning request from owners of the former Wall Lake Inn. The board tabled the issue until 1 p.m. December 8. The former business property at issue, a tavern-restaurant, was destroyed by fire several years ago. Owners John and Doris Kokes were twice denied a special use permit to rezone the land for rebuilding purposes in 1979 and again last month. The Kokes and their attorney appeared before the county board this week to ask commissioners to overrule the county planning commission’s recent decision, rejecting a change in zoning of the property at 8881 S. Wall Lake Rd. from agriculturalreaidential to commercial. The rezening request by the Kotes has been opposed by the Hope Township Board, the Michigan Dept, of Transportaion, and on petitions carrying signitatures of 135 per­ Sins. The transportation department has charged that there is insufficient room for parking at the site. The Kokes intend to commit four acres of property to the rebuilding project if the zoning is approved. Two spokesmen for the neighborhood group expressed their opinions to com­ missioners. “We don’t want the business there because its never been run properly," said John S. Woods of 9125 S. Wall Lake Rd., president of the Wall Lake Association. Kenneth Pulfer of 5302 Walldorf Rd; Delton voiced fear that rezoning the former Wall Lake Inn property would lead to a decrease in the property of nearby homes. “It has no place in a residential neigh­ borhood,” he said. ____• Attorney Leo Hoffman of“AUeg'ai. agreed that their had been complaints about the business when it Was owned by others, but he stated that the Kokes did “run a good place." Hoffman said “it will create an extreme hardship" for the Kokes if they can not rebuild a restaurant. Commissioner Walter Soya said that ap­ proval of the rezoning request “would be spot zoning and that doesn't work very good." He made the motion to table action on the request to allow time for further study. In other action. Commissioners voted to appoint Sue Raesley as acting equalization director until January 12. This action was taken as a result of a letter from Equalization Director Phyliss Jackson who told ’he board 'hat she would be hospitalized on Thanksgiving Day and did not expect to return to work before Christmas. Commissioners also voted to meet with Mrs. Jackson upon her return to work to reassess her position as director. She recently failed her third attempt at taking the level III certification test which is needed as part of her job. Drill tests Red Cross disaster center’s readiness A major fire struck a Hastings hotel, last night, in a mock drill to test the local Red Cross disaster teams. The teams set up a Disaster Shelter at Lx-nson Sharpe Memorial Hall to handle the 37 “victims” of the fire, ranging from the town drunk to a heart attack victim. “All of the victims were given pre­ arranged symptoms,” Denis Munson, chairman of the Barry County Red Cross Chapter, explained, "then they were sent over to the Disaster Shelter from the scene.’’ At the shelter, volunteers were taking down names and vital statistics on the vic­ tims, treating the injured, babysitting the children, setting up cots for sleeping and providing refreshments. “It's up to each chapter to provide disaster assistance without a great deal of backup support for 24 to 48 hours," Ron Cock, coordinator of disaster volunteers for the Michigan Division of Red Cross, said. Cook explained that the Barry County chapter has made disaster aid its top priority of the three mandated Red Cross services. The other two mandates are service to military families and fundraising to support the programs. “I’m really excited about how its coming,” Cook said of the Barry County disaster program. Cook said the key to disaster aid is for the local chapter to make it past the initial 24 to 48 hour period until backup support can be obtained from across the state and nation. Cots for the shelter were provided through Barry County Civil Defense. Larry Hollenbeck, civil defense director, said his office has 35 to 40 cots plus an additional six or seven can be found at each of the county's ten fire barns. Hollenbeck said one of the things needed by the disaster team is a line of credit from area organizations for funding meals at a disaster shelter.

Letter to the Editor: This is response to the letter in the Nov. 19 edition about pornography. That letter makes it sound like as soon as you walk into a store they push a magazine in your face and force you to look at it. Every store that I go into, the magazines are always on the top shelf way in the back. The letter also makes it sound like everyone in the city looks at them, except those that go to church. Well, I have seen a lot of people that go to church look at them too, but I guess that’s alright with them because they're in the right with God. Now about the cable pom, not everybody gets HBO and those that do don’t always get it because it has sexy movies on iL HBO also has decent movies on it, but most people don't realize this since they only look at one' side of the story and refuse to look at both. I would aiso like to say something to the churches in this town. I think that before you go out and start preaching to people out in the city area about getting right with the Lord, you should look at the people in your own church first I should know, I went to this church whose people were always right with God on Sundays, but during the rest of the week they did nothing but talk about people behind their backs and do anything they wanted and a lotof it I would say was against God’s will. Also, don’t say people push pornography on others when I am constantly getting church material in the mail and stuck in our door and letters from people in my old church telling me that they miss me, when they hardly even noticed if I was there. Even the pastors of the church were hypocrites. They even had the nerve to bribe little kids to coming by giving candy to those who came. I have nothing against going to church, but feel it should be oir own choice and not be forced or tricked upon us into going. Just like pornography, if we want to look at it, we will, if not, who really cares.

She went on to offer her help in any way and continued her conversation with the ladies. I am sure we . are all touched and sorry when tragedy befalls a fellow citizen.

Thomapple, Castleton, Orangeville, Prairieville, Barry, Hope, Assyria and other townships. In 1980 the W. K. Kellogg Foundation’s report. The First Half Century, reported that it had assets of $800 million and had distributed all of its income-some$500 million-lo assist projects in health, education, and agriculture throughout the United States and every continent in the fifty years 1930-1980. The two statements are not unrelated and the con­ stant is Dr. James Stuart Pritchard, one of the men in the bouncing car and of whom Dr. Henry F. Vaughan, a foundation trustee for 39 years was to say, “It was Dr. Pritchard more than anyone else who set the Foun­ dation on the course which it follows today." A portrait of Dr. James Stuart Pritchard the early discontinued the use of his first name) has been donated to the Library of Medical and Public Health History in the Health Department building. Dedication of the library Saturday, is part of the 50lh anniversary celebration of the local health department. Dr. Pritchard and Dr. A. C. Selmon, who shortly went to other interests, appeared before the Barry County board of super­ visors in April, 1931, and persuaded them to establish the county health department. Their meetings throughout the county were for the purpose of convincing parents and rural school board members to support the consolidation of rural schools into con­ solidated school districts. Both the county health department and the consolidated schools were essential elements in the foundation’s plans for the Michigan Com­ munity Health Project (MCHP). Of the seven counties chosen by the foundation, in which to demonstrate the project, Barry County was the earliest target. W. K. Kellogg Foundation’s report of its 1930-1941 history, "The First Eleven Years," was devoted entirely to the MCHP. The fiftyyear report states: "The (MCHP) project’s guiding philosophy was that local leadership, stimulated by the best of current thought, could develop its own effective methods to solve community problems. First and foremost was public health." The Eleven-Year Report stated that ideally the county health department would be the strong coordinating organization interested in solving all of the community’s health problems. “It so happened," the Eleven-Year Report says, "that none of the counties immediately surrounding Battle Creek had county health departments. Barry County had an op­ portunity to qualify for aid in establishing a health department. The state health department and the county supervisors asked the W. K. Kellogg Foundation to supplement their funds to make such a department possible. A year later another county, and then another, requested assistance from the Foundation to make health departments possible.” Barry County was chosen by the foun­ dation as the initial county in which to seek the establishment of a county health department, because it was a typical rural community with one small city, and was close to Battle Creek, the headquarters of the foundation. It was vital, then, that Barry County adopt a county health department. W. K. Kellogg and the trustees sent Dr. Pritchard with Dr. Selmon to "sell” Barry County on the MCHP. Il was a prudent decision to use Dr. Prit­ chard's tact, ch-rm and warm personality to explain the aims and goals of the foundation. “He was a key figure in the foundation’s early development,’’ says the foundation’s fifty-year history. The tenuousness of the situation for the foundation was demonstrated in the close vote of the county supervisors, eleven to nine, to establish the county health depart­ ment. One may speculate that the direction of the foundation might have been changed had the vote been reversed and the health department not been established at that lime. However, one would have to also consider the versatile character of Dr. Pritchard who had two other traits, patience and perseverance. When W. K. Kellogg established the foundation in 1930 the initial months were spent in deliberation. First, the foundation’s trustees came to a major decision. The foundation would use its resources mainly in the application of knowledge Support for research was available elsewhere. Welfare, though necessary, was an accepted responsibility of the government. Next, the trustees determined that the foundation’s method was to help people to help themselves/jot losubstitute for them. It could not set right all the complex ills of the social structure, it said, it had no cure-all to offer. It could, though, provide funds for cooperative community programs of a social character, with teamwork and cooperation among groups and emphasis on individual initiative. The foundation put its faith in people, in leadership, and not in systems. Local professional and lay people concerned with social conditions had definite ideas as to what the problems were and what they wanted to do about them. Any assistance the foundation could offer, the early trustees decided, should not be designed to promote a preconceived plan but to bring to the com­ munities. through their own leaders, the best of current thought in order that those directly concerned could work out their own solutions. This meant an adult education program for all of the local community leaders in health, education, recreation, and welfare. The educational key in preventive health care was seen to be the physician or dentist himself, reinforced by a strong community educational program including health education in the schools and the important family casework of the public health nurse, all coordinated by a county health depart­ ment. The foundation having set its course, it was then necessary to implement it. The high regard W. K. Kellogg had for Dr. Pritchard was stated by him in the foreward to the book, "The First Eleven Years, W. K. Kellogg Foundation" "The conception of the Foundation’s plan of ministration on the cooperative problem-solving basis was largely due to the genius of the Foundation’s President and General Director, Dr. Stuart Pritchard, who died August 4, 1940. In this connection, I wish to acknowledge the Foundation’s indebtedness to Dr. Pritchard. My admiration for him could scarcely be better expressed than in the following words from the citation for the honorary degree of Doctor of Science conferred on him by the University of Michigan six weeks before his death: ’He inspires and directs organized, efforts to heal the hurts of mankind and to create a better environment for the growth of a wiser, healthier democracy. Under his guidance dream and vision became effective reality.’ Kellogg went on to say that it was fortunate that Dr. Pritchard and his associates had proceeded far enough with defining the You don’t have to be a Wizard of WaO Street to take advantage of this investment opportunity. o Introducing the All-Savers Certificate! If you have a little money to invest, you can take advantage of one of the greatest savings opportunities to come along in quite some time. It's the All-Savers Certificate, and it allows you to earn interest equal to 70% of the one year Treasury Bill rate, while exempting up to $2000 of that interest ($1000 on individual returns) from your taxable income. How about that! The funds must remain on deposit for a full year, and there are substantial penalties for early withdrawal. But the rewards are definitely worth the wait.

The major interest of the foundation was the maximum utilization of existing community resources through cooperative effort in the solution of common health and educational problems. Dr. Pritchard’s career dove-tailed with the long held beliefs of W. K. Kellogg that the "forgotten child" of America was not ex­ clusively in the poor areas of cities but also in rural communities where socio-economic improvements were slow to be realized. In 1913, Dr. Pritchard and two other physicians were commissioned by the Michigan Legislators to conduct a survey of tuberculosis in rural Michigan. In the course of jheir study they became concerned over the apparent inability on the part of rural physicians to diagnose “TB” in its early stages. They believed rural physicians were in urgent need of refresher courses. For Dr. Pritchard this was the beginning of in­ creased concern about continuing education, to which he later gave priority. The foundation early decided that "little ships should stay close to harbor,” as an early foundation report put it, and the first target area was the rural community im­ mediately surrounding Battle C.eek. The journeys of Dr. Pritchard and Dr. Selmon thus began to establish the county health department and consolidated schools as part of the MCHP program. Dr. Pritchard is remembered each year by the Calhoun County Medical Society and the Calhoun County Unit of the American Cancer Society which sponsor the Annual Stuart Pritchard Memorial Lecture Series. A brief biography of Dr. Pritchard was written by Dr. Emory W. Morris, then president and genera) manager of the foundation, for the initial lecture of the series. Dr. Pritchard was born in Auburn, On­ tario, Canada, the son of a Presbyterian clergyman. As a youth he was a highspirited, intelligent boy with unusual athletic skill in baseball and ice hockey. When his parents died, while he was in high school, he went to live with his mother’s sister and her husband. Dr. J. K. M. Gordon of Ripley, Ontario, who undoubtedly influenced him to graduate from the University of Toronto School of Medicine in 1905. Shortly thereafter he contracted tuber­ culosis and spent two years in a sanitarium. Upon recovery he practiced as a specialist in diseases of the chest for two years in Canada and for four years in the United States. When his lung condi lion flared up again, he came to the Battle Creek Sanitarium as a patient in a wheelchair. He recovered rapidly within a year, and his intelligence and enthusiasm so impressed Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, owner of the San and brother of W. K. Kellogg, that he asked Dr. Pritchard to establish a chest department in the San. He headed the department for 17 years and won world-wide claim for his skill in treatment. As an authority on tuberculosis, Dr. Pritchard represented the U.S. at an in­ ternational conference in Rome in 1928 and at The Hague in 1932. He wrote numerous articles for medical ilerature. While a patient at the San in 1913, he became a friend of W. K. Kellogg. In 1930, Mr. Kellogg asked Dr. Pritchard to head the foundation. The doctor was reluctant to leave medical practice but did so to help children and "human conservation." He told a friend, "This opportunity is the biggest thing in my life. 1 am going to try to set up for Mr. Kellogg and for people the king of organization that will be of perpetual help." Friends and acquaintenances of Dr. Pritchard said Mr. Kellogg could have made no better choice and cited the doctor’s “professional knowledge, ability to organize, empathy to enlist the support of professional men and of the public at large, tact and resourcefulness, a kind, gracious personality and amazing energy. . . .a man of wide vision with qualities of courage, intellect, and perseverance to translate such vision into tangible achievements." Dr. Pritchard worked long hours and poured prodigious energy into making the foundation work. At one time Mr. Kellogg had to order him to take a vacation in Bar­ bados. He did so, but arranged for a short­ wave radio hook up with “Hams" to keep in immediate contact with the foundation. Dr. Pritchard had versatile aptitudes and interests of fervent but short duration. When something appealed to him, his devotion became intense and he dropped everything to master its technical perfection. When he had mastered it, he was ready to go on to something new. He discovered the game of golf and within three years was club golf champion. He thereupon stored his clubs, never to play again. Trapshooting, bird hunting, horseback riding, and flying his own airplane engaged his temporary interest. He always wore a vest, remembers Neva Kag a master assistant secretary of the foundation. "He liked stub pencils that he could carry in his vest pocket, so I always saved the stubs for him." His greatest hobby throughout life was people. People loved him because he loved them. He had the ability to meet men and made them feel a lot more important. He could “walk with kings" and did so but he did not “lose the common touch.” The natives near his vacation home liked to stop and talk with him. because he was so friendly and he chatted with them about their families. In the biography Dr. Morris cites an old Indian legend: “How can the dead be truly dead when they are still walking in our hearts?" The recollection of this remarkable man. said Dr. Morris, and his dream of humanitarian service alerts us that each of us has a responsibility to make this world somewhat better because we passed along this way.

Sauter said. Two members of the board refused to attend the session, held to set the price of the building trades home built by students. However, Sauter has concluded that criminal prosecution of the five members — Elam Rockwell. Wilber Marsh. Virginia Fox, Russell Geary and Wayne Cogswell — is not appropriate. The recommendation not to prosecute the five members has provoked anger from George Hubka of Nashville, who had asked the prosecutor's office to investigate the matter. He said he plans to discuss the situation further with Prosecutor Pau) Berger, the Attorney General’s office. State Representative Ernest Nash, and others. ‘Why should they (the five members) get off scot-free when an act of law was cir­ cumvented?" he asked "Where do we draw the line?" Hubka has threatened to launch a recall drive unless three board members (Fox. Rockwell, and Cogswell) resign within 10 days. Two board members who attended the Sept. 14 closed session have already resigned. Geary resigned last month because of a job transfer out of the district and Marsh resigned several weeks ago. citing personal reasons, Hubka said. "I’m going to offer them 10 days to resign and if they don’t 1*11 take out recall petitions. I don’t know how many signatures would be required to hold a recall election because I haven't talked to the county clerk yet," he said. Sauter told Hubka in a letter that "the best interests of all concerned will be served by declining criminal prosecution." If prosecution were pursued, violation of the act in this instance would be considered a misdemeanor, punishable by a maximum penalty of 90 days in jail and a $100 fine. Sauter said by attending the closed session after being warned by two other board Living in Ireland for a month... by Victor Sisson Mrs. Bonnie McLeod of Martin Road, Woodland, her brother and sister-in-law. Bill and Rose Barry of Hastings, and Bill’s daughter, Mrs. William Geller of Marquette, arrived at Metro Airport in Detroit in the afternoon of Sunday, Oct. 11. After many weeks of planning, securing passes, visas, etc., the foursome were on their way to Ireland where they were to have a most interesting and rewarding month. Leaving Metro later that evening, they flew across the Big Blue and landed at Shannon Airport in Ireland. In a way. the folks were hunting for roots. The family knew that their ancestors, the Barrys, had come to this country from the Emerald Isle, as Ireland is often called. They, or at least Bill, had many questions and the best way to get those answers was to visit the land of their ancestors. This they did. They visited some of the old cemeteries where there was the possibility that relatives might be buried; they visited what we call court houses and libraries in our country, and questioned many people — and got some information, but was it enough to satisfy their curiosity? They soon learned, if they did not already know, that the customs in Ireland were very different from those in the United States. The Republic of Ireland is less than one percent as large as the United State.,, not counting Alaska and Hawaii. The Irish people are warm-hearted, friendly and artistic and are noted for their hospitality. The custom in Ireland is for travelers in the country to stay at B & B’s, which means Bed and Breakfast with different families. They do not have motels, inns, etc. such as we have in such abundance in our country. The first place the "Barrys" stayed was in a cottage with a thatched roof which they rented in Broadboard. The cottage was located on the side of a mountain. Since it is quite cold this time of year in that section, it was necessary to keep a fire goingall the lime, using coal or peat. It is a common fuel lor heating in Ireland because coal and oil are so expensive. Among the cities our friends visited were Cork, a citv of some 135,000 people, located in the extreme southern part of the island; Galway, with a population of about 28,000, located on Galway Bay on the west central coast; Kinsile. 1800, not far from Cork; Blarney, 1200. in the same general area; Ki Harney, 1200; Arklow, 7000, a seaport on the lower east coast; Dublin, the capital of Ireland, with a population crowding 700,000, located about half way up the east coast; and Waterford, on Waterford Harbor in Waterford County, with a population of about 34,000. In Cork, they stayed with the Neil Cotter family. They rode around in jaunting carts pulled by mules and horses. Ireland is known for its scenic lakes and low mountainsand its natural beauty makes traveling the rural Irish roads a continuous pleasure and surprise. They spent ten days in Arklow and had their B & B with the Conningham family. This city is noted for its beautiful pottery and it is here that the famous Noritake china is manufactured. Our travelers purchased numerous gift items here and had them shipped home. They visited the woolen mills in Blarney, enjoyed the mountains in Killamey, and loured the east side of Ireland along the Irish Sea. Ancient monasteries and abbeys north of Galway Bay proved very interesting to our friends. In Kinsile. they visited an old cemetery where are buried more than 1200 passengers who lost their lives when the Lusitania, d the Cunard Line, sank off the coast of Ireland on May 7, 1915 after being torpedoed by a German submarine. One hundred and twenty-eight Americans were in that number and the great anger aroused contributed to the entry of the United States into World War I. The Barrys arrived back at Metro Airport on Sunday. Nov. 8 and were met there by Don and Barry. members, those (five) board members "displayed a callous disregard for the rights and interests of the public — their con­ stituents. “However. I believe the publicity at­ tendant io this incident will be of a sufficient deterrent to future problems of this kind," said Sauter. At the Sept. 14 school board meeting, members Dale Ossenheimer and Ron Tobias voted against holding the closed session and refused to attend it when it was approved by a 5-2 vote. Ossenheimer has said he did not attend because he believed then that it was a violation of the open meetings act based on a previous conversation with a staff member of the attorney general's office. During the investigation of Hubka's complaint. Ossenheimer told the prosecutor's office that he informed the other board members that such a session would be in violation of the act. but that they proceeded with a closed session anyway. Sauter said his investigation concluded that the Sept. 14 closed session violated the open meetings act because members discussed the selling price of the 1980-81 building trades house, built by students. “This is not an appropriate reason as the (Open Meetings) Act does not allow closed sessions to discuss the sale of -eal property." Sauter said in his letter to Hubka. Section eight of the act does allow closed sessions to consider the purchase or lease of real property. Sauter noted. He said there are other legal channels for Hubka Io follow if he wants to pursue the violation of the open meetings act by 'he five members. A civil suit for damages may be filed ora circuit court order could be sought to enjoin further noncompliance with the act. Preschoolers create Thanksgiving gifts... Nutrition termed crucial for teen-aged athletes Teen-agers who compete in sports usually have one thing in mind — being winners. Strenuous workouts, lack of rest, improper nutrition and crash diets to "make weight" before competition often make up the regimen teen athletes follow. The results could be disastrous, says Ann Grandjean, associate director of the Swanson Center for Nutrition, Inc., in Omaha, Neb. Instead of winning, these teens are losing — they're robbing their bodies of the nutrients they need Ip be quick and agile. Grandjean recently told Michigan Slate University Cooperative Extension Service staff members. In 1978, Grandjean says, four deaths related to heat illness in teens were reported Red Cross photos, continued from page 1 Denis Munson, Barry County Rad Cron Chapter chairman, and Ron Cook, coor­ dinator of disaster volunteer* for the Michigan Red Cross, review the work being done at the mock Disaster Shelter. (Bom^ photo) nationally. Many other cases of heat illness in teen-aged athletes went unreported. These deaths were 100 percent preventable, she said. Most often heat-related illness is caused by restricting the amount of water an athlete drinks, using salt tablets, increasing the number of laps athletes run while training, wearing full uniform dress in the heat of the day and not resting during practices. To prevent heat illness. Grandjean offered the following suggestions: — Replace fluids lost through pe-spiration. — Schedule breaks during workouts. — Wear loos-fitting and lightweight clothing — In warm months, practice during the cooler parts of the day. — Remove wet jerseys, which block evaporation of perspiration. A loss of only 2 percent of body weight can reduce performance, Grandjean said. For an athlete weighing 150 pounds, this would be only 3 p mods. A person can easily lose that amount in a workout. Many coaches and athletes believe that sweating heavily and restricting water in­ take will increase performance. Grandjean said. This is not true. When the body heals up. it begins to per­ spire. The blood loses water through per­ spiration and when the water is not replaced, sweating stops and the body temperature continues to rise. Heat illness usually occurs after 5 percent loss of body fluid. Staggering and a temporary loss, however, can begin at a 2 percent loss, she said. It is ...iportant that athletes drink water before, during and after competition, she advised, to replace those lost body fluids. Teen athletes, such as wrestlers, often crash diet and work out heavily before a meet to lose weight. Weigh-in times are usually two or three hours before com­ petition. This leaves two or three hours to rehydrate, and that is not enough time, Grandjean said. Rehydration usually takes Children at Humpty Dumpty Preschool prepared Thanksgiving gifts Nov. 24.

(Bonner photo) Venison will highlight menus throughout state With lhe firearm deer season shaping as one of the best-if not very best-in the slate's history, Michigan families may well consume more venison this fall and winter than ever before. The general impression of lhe state’s wildlife biologists is that the buck kill is running about the same as last year ora little higher. And last year’s kill of 108,250 bucks was the highest on record. So far this year, kill figures are up about six percent overall al lhe state's highway deer checking stations. With all of that venison waiting to be prepared, household cooks will find a welcome ally in the “Wildlife Chef," the perennially popular cookbook published by the Michigan United Conservation Clute (MUCC). Among its nearly 400 recipes for game and fish dishes. "Wildlife Chef contains more I han 50 for deer alone. In addition, the cook­ book offers information on care of venison, butchering, freezing, and storage. Copies are available for $5.15 apiece, postage and tax included. They may be ordered by sending a check or money order lo MUCC. Box 30235, Lansing, Mich. 48909 All proceeds from lhe sales are used to support MUCC's conservation and education programs.

A dehydrated wrestler will not perform up to his potential. He may win the match, but his victory may be due in part to the fact that he is competing against another weakened athlete. Grandjean suggested that for every pound lost in a workout, an athlete should ingest at least two cups of fluid. It is not uncommon for athletes to lose 2 pounds every hour they work out, she said. Longdistance runners are advised to drink between 1-14 cups of waler every 15 minutes during competition. Sports aides, such as Gatorade and elec­ trolyte drinks, should contain no more than 4 teaspoon of sugar per 4 cup of fluid or should be diluted. Drinks with higher levels of sugar tend to stay in the stomach too long and tereforedo not give the athlete the water he-she needs fast enough. Sall tablets are sometimes loo con­ centrated and stay in the stomach too long to be helpful. If more salt is needed in the system, it can be added through extra salting at meal times. Grandjean said. Grandjean, who works with the Sports Medicine Council of the U.S. Olympic Team, said the council discourages use of salt I ablets unless an athlete does not have salt in his or her diet. Losing weight fast by strenuous exercise and skipping meals may drop the needed pounds but has a detrimental effect on performance. Grandjean pointed out. Athletes who lose more than 2 or 3 pounds per week are depleting muscle energy stores, losing lean body muscle and possibly dehydrating their bodies, Grandjean said. A more effective weight loss program that takes off the necessary amount of weight and does not reduce athletic performance follows a realistic time schedule. Grandjean suggested that athletes who desire to lose weight lake off about 2 pounds per week, use an appropriate training program and follow a diet that limits calorie intake but supplies sufficient energy and nutrients.

Kinney, City Clerk Dog bites plague meter readers It’s not really an uncommon occurrence; in fact, it happens entirely loo often. So far in 1981, more than 50 dog bites is about average for an entire year. “It's easy Io think of a dog attacking a meter reader as a cliche situation, but the humor is lost when lhe cliche involves a Doberman pinscher and the meter reader requires 17 stitches to close a bile to the face." Customers should be aware that they are legally responsible for the actions of their pets and that the company can and does expect reimbursement for the full cost of the benefits paid to the injured employee. In addition, injured employee's can sue the dog owner for damages. Consumers Power Company needs its customers’ help to provide the high level of service they expect and to prevent needless injury of its employees. Convincing customers that their pet is a potential problem presents the most dif­ ficulty, says Elliott. “If there's one thing every meter reader has heard, it’s, 'don’t worry, my dog doesn’t bite.’ It’s really dif­ ficult to make people aware of lhe potential danger." Elliott says there are four things that every customer with a dog can do to prevent injuries to company meter readers: — When a company employee is on the premises, be aware of where your dog is. — Keep your dog restrained and, if possible, completely away from the em­ ployee. — If you must leave your dog outside, make sure that the dog is secured and that the dog does not prevent our employee from gaining safe access to your premises. — No matter how "friendly'’ you feel your dog is, never tie the dog near a gas or electric meter. Often if a meter reader cannot gain safe access to a customer's meter, he or she will leaves postage-paid meter reading card that lhe customer must complete and return to insure an accurate reading. All lhe responsibilities of dog owners are outlined in a brochure that meter readers provide to customers. — NOTICE — Notice is hereby given that o meeting of the Barry and Calhoun Intermediate Boards of Education will bo held at the Barry Intermediate office, 202 S.

Saxons hold awards dinner The Hastings Saxons football squad and a crowd of nearly 300 people celebrated a 7-2 season and second place Twin Valley finish with a banquet dinner Monday. The program included awards for the players on both varsity and junior varsity, the student managers, and the freshman, junior varsity and varsity cheerleaders. Athletic Director Bill Karpinski served as Master of Ceremonies. Junior Varsity coach John Zawierucha presented awards to his freshmen and sophomore players. Volunteer coaches Bob Teunessen and Dean McConnell, members of the 1979 Saxon team, received praise from both Zawierucha and head coach Don Folmar for their work this season. Varsity fullback Bob Ellsworth was named the team's most valuable player and most valuable offfensive back. Other awards went to Dave Wright as the most valuable offensive lineman, Bruce Meyers as the most valuable defensive back. Cris Hough as most valuable defensive lineman, Bruce Martin as most improved player, Pat Merrill for having the best at­ titude, and Martin for being the most humorous. The helmet award, given to the player that earns the most awards on his helmet during the season, was shared by John Karpinski and Ellsworth. The "second season” for the Hastings Saxons girl's basketball team was a short one. The Saxon gals blew a ten point lead in the second half Friday and lost the district opener 4341 to Charlotte. Foul trouble via controversial officiating plaqued the Saxons in the Lakewood gym. The team's two leading scorers spent a lot of time on the bench in foul trouble and both ended up fouling out of the contest. Despite the problems both Kelly Mogg and Jackie Jaynes turned in their typical scoring nights. Mogg netted 16 to lead the Saxons and Jaynes was right behind with 15 points. The Saxons trailed by one at the end of the first quarter but had moved into the lead by two points at halftime. They rolled to a 10 point lead during the second half only to lose Mogg. Jaynes and the game. Jaynes grabbed 7 rebounds her her part time appearance on the court, and Paula Atkinson led the Saxons in the board department with 8. Saxon coach Pat Purgiel was disappointed at the early loss in district play. "We all hated to lose our first district game,” Purgiel said. He however turned optimistic for next season with 10 of 11 team members retur­ ning. Senior co-captain Laura Allerding played her last game Friday, but the rest of the Saxons will be back. The Saxons finish the season with a 7-10 mark overall and a 6-8 mark in the Twin Valley, good for fifth place. Purgiel said the highlight of the season was the "parent’s night" win over Albion, and gaining revenge at Jackson Northwest after losing to them earlier in the year. "We had our up games and our down games but I felt we always had hustle and »he desire to excell,” Purgiel added. "We were a fast team that played with a lot of desire, but we lacked experience." A ce^rotion fumed to sorrow as the Saxons were ousted in the closing minutes of their district opener with Charlotte Friday.

The possibility of establishing a federation to protect and improve the quality of water in the Great Lakes will be examined at an in­ ternational meeting in May. Representatives from eight states and two Canadian provinces will attend the two-day session at a date and location still to be determined. The meeting will be arranged and coor­ dinated by the Michigan United Con­ servation Clubs, an organization with a long history of concern over Great Lakes water quality. MUCC has been awarded a sub­ stantial grant from the Joyce Foundation of Chicago to set up and ad hoc Great Lakes Federation that could become a permanent coalition of conservation groups working for better water resoirce management in the lakes. Swan migration now underway By Dave Wilcox This past week-end provided many Michigan residents with a unique op­ portunity to witness the migration of North America's second largest species of waterfowl-the Whistling Swan. These great white birds are enroute to their Atlan’ic Coastal wintering grounds from the far Arctic tundra regions of Canada, where they have reared their signets for generations. Each year at this time the Whistlers pass through our area stopping only briefly, if at all, for birds-of-the-year to rest and regain strength. The previous five years the swans have been very timely, arriving here on November 15. This year they were six days Hastings High School WINTER SPOUTS SCHEDULE -------------------------- —----------------------------------------------------------GIRLS'VOLLEYBALL Jan. 5 Wayland* Jan. 8 Hastings vs. Albion Jackson vs. Sturgis Hastings vs. Sturgis Jackson vs. Albion Jan. 9 Battle Creek Tourn.

These geese migrate earlier, in October usually, and are not as obvious to man during migration.

By a vote of 3-2, the county reap­ portionment committee Tuesday selected a plan calling for seven county commissioner districts. Representation is currently comprised from 11 districts. Hastings, formerly represented by two commissioners, will have just one com­ missioner, according to the new plan. Supporting the adopted plan were County Clerk Norval Thaler, County Treasurer Elsie Furrow, and County Republican Chairman Wendell Strickland. Voting against it were County Prosecutor Judy Hughes and County Democratic Party Chairman Richard Reyff. In making the motion for the adopted plan, Mrs. Furrow said it would be the most economical and efficicent to implement. “It’s the most compact plan because it splits only one township," she said. Other plans submitted had more complicated boundaries and split more townships. Reapportionment is required by law every 10 years, after each census, to reflect changes in population. Membership on the reapportionment committee also is set by law. The reapportionment plan selected for Barry County will be filed with the Michigan Secretary of State’s office and will become effective 30 days after the filing if not challenged Any citizen of the county may challenge the plan directly with the Michigan Court of Appeals. After Tuesday’s meeting, former county commissioner Emmet Herrington said he is considering challenging the plan if he can garner support Herrington said he favored a five-district map which was closer to the ideal “one man, one vote” principle of having districts as equal in population as possible. The seven-district map selected by the committee had the highest deviation — 1.06 — of the seven plans which received final consideration. This means that there are 379 more people in the district with the highest population than the district with the lowest population in the county. It was because of the high deviation in the adopted plan that Prosecutor Hughes said she could not support it. She told the com­ mittee the Constitution mandates the one man, one vote principle as a priority in redistricting. If there are two competing plans of equal population distribution, then consideration car be given to other factors like avoiding the break-up of township boundaries, etc. Mrs. Hughes said that by her own legal analysis the plan calling for five districts with a deviation of 1.0138 was clpsest to meeting Constitutional requirements. “It’s a court rule of thumb to aim for one percent (deviation),’’ she said. Mrs. Hughes also acknowledged that “it’s difficult for a small county to come up with a Constitutional plan." Mathematics will tell you that a smaller number (of districts) will get a lesser deviation. Of the seven plans considered, all were for a smaller county board than the present board of commissioners. Four plans were for five commissioners and the others for seven. In discussion before the vote. Clerk Thaler said, “I’m not as bothered by the differences in percentages of deviation as I am by cut­ ting up districts.” He said splitting townships would mean problems for township clerks in splitting voting precincts and having enough voting machines. "This would be further com­ plicated by the Legislative and Congressional reapportionment that we don't even know about at this point.” Strickland also echoed similar feelings about the problems other plans would create in local elections, especially the increase in the number of election off ials which would be needed at the township level. “The courts could never convince me that this is not the best plan for the county,” said Thaler of the map selected. Reyff said he voted against the adopted plan because of its high deviation. “The closer we come now to the ideal, the more likely it is to stand up if it is appealed,” he said. If the map is challenged and not upheld by the court, Mrs. Hughes said it will be sent back to the county reapportionmenl com­ mittee to be redone. It's a process that has taken some counties two to three years to straighten out, she noted. In that situation, Commissioners would be elected at-large in the county. Board Chairman Kenneth Radanl, who was in the audience, said he wouldn't favor a plan that had fewer than seven com­ missioners. He said he was against the plan favored by Prosecutor Hughes because it called for districts which would represent a broad areas. The plan approved by the reapportionment committee consists of the following seven districts: —District 1: Woodland, Castleton, and Maple Grove townships. —District 2: Carlton, Hastings, and Baltimore townships. —District 3: Irving, Rutland, and Hope townships. —District 4: Thomapple and Yankee Springs townsliips. —District 5: Orangeville and Prairieville townships and the southern half of Barry Township. —District 6: Johnstown and Assyria townships and the northern half of Barry Township. —District 7: tlie city of Hastings. Hearing set to deal with mobile home placement Vol. 126, No. 81 Thursday, December 3,1981 Hastings, Michigan County adjusts to budget cuts by Liz Kingsbury County government departments are laying off staff and trimming costs to meet their 1982 budget cuts. Sylvia Dulaney, grants coordinator, and Midge Stamm, grants secretary, will be laid off January 1982 because their department received no funds. The Barry County Sheriffs Department also had to lay people off, but those laid off were able to take other jobs within the department, Sheriff Wood said. A $200,000 cutback in remodeling work at the courthouse will eliminate weatherization, roofing, the parking lot and other remodeling in order to stay within budget, Commissioner Albert Bell, chairman of the Properties Committee Charlton Park will have to raise 87 percent of its funds for 1982, compared with 1981’s figure of 60 percent, or close 6 months out of the year. Director Frank Walsh said he was planning to raise some of the money by holding fundraising activities. Graveling projects with the Barry County Road Commission will be delayed, Ron Lear, engineer-manager, said. Lear added, however, that some projects will be delayed due to problems with gravel consolidating in cold weather. Judy Hughes, the Barry County Prosecuting Attorney, said that the increase in the workload would probably result in setting priorities on the matters her office would handle. The Barry-Eaton Public Health Depart­ ment has planned to reduce spending in Barry County by one third and by two thirds in Eaton County, said Dr. Edwin Larkin, director. However, like many other departments, Larkin will present a finalized budget when he meets with the Board of Commissioners, Dec. 10. Many departments with budget cuts have made preliminary plans, but will have more definite budget plans after they meet with the County Commissioners. Those departments are: the Cooperative Extension, the County Clerk, the Com­ mission on Aging, Equalization, the Sheriff In the wake of a November Circuit Court decision that declared the Barry County zoning ordinances are constitutional, a Public Hearing has been set for Dec. 14, by the Barry County Planning and Zoning Commission to discuss the question of mobile home placement. "Any property owner who lives in one of the twelve townships covered by the county ordinance should review the ordinance as amended,” Kensinger Jones, chairman of the Planning and Znning Commission said "What we need is input from all taxpayers." In November Kent County Circuit Court Judge Stuart Hoffius ruled that the Barry County zoning ordinances that deal with mobile homes are constitutional. The decision was in a case involving five couples in Barry County, all members of a citizen's group called OTLAM ‘Outraged Taxpayers and Landowners of Michigan), who charged the ordinances were un­ constitutional. "We believe that the amendment is very much in line with the recent decision of Judge Hoffius in the Barry County Mobile Home case.” Zoning Commission member Kevin Woods said. “We've worked with the Prosecutor’s office to insure that it is.” The Hearing will be held in the Circuit Court Room at the Barry County Cour thouse at 7:30 p.m., on Dec. 14. Department and the Marine Department. Other departments will trim their budgets by cutting such items as: part-time or temporary help, phone, travel, office sup­ plies, maintenance and employee training. Those departments are: the Treasurer’s office. Civil Defense, DPW and the Drain Commissioner and the Animal Shelter. Some departments included in the budget cut list draw the majority of their funds from other sources. Register of Deeds, Howard J. Ferris, said, "Our work here is based on the economy." “We take in what deeds the real estate people sell.” he said. "When their business is down, our business is down." Ferris said the County cut his budget, but the effects remain to be seen. “At this point, we’re spending more time on our backlog of filming than in registering dee^s for mortgages,"Ferris said. In other cases, the responsibility for funding shifted. .. .____ _ „ continued on page 2 Hastings opens the holidays with weekend celebration South American farm program highlights annual Kiwanis Farm-City day A pic tore I tour of South American farming, presented by Louis Wierenga, of N.

This dog takes a rest as his master, Art Meade of Woodland, observes beef cattle judging at the North American International Livestock Exposition in Louisville, Ky. The North American International Livestock Exposition has concluded in Louisville, Ky. The big expo was the largest held since it started eight years ago, according to show officials. Post show records confirm that 33 bred types in beef cattle, dairy cattle, quarter horses, sheep and swine were represented at the expo. Billed as the "largest all-breed livestock show in the world", the expo is a showcase of fine breeJstock. It concluded after hosting 50 shows and 25 sales events. Dates for the 1982 North American International was November 6-20. More than half the nation's children have mothers who work away from home, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U. S. Department of Labor reported. About 31.8 million ciiildren below age 18-54 percent of the nation's total-had mothers in the labor force in March 1981. This number has risen steadily throughout the past decade, even though the size of the children's population has declined substantially. The most recent year-to-year increase in the number of children with working mothers occurred among those under 6 years of age. By March 1981, a record 8.2 million (44.9 percent) of al) preschoolers had mothers in the labor force, up from 7.7 million (43.0 percent) a year earlier. This coincides with the upsurge during the last few years in the number of births among women in their late twenties and early thirties. Of all mothers with children under 18, about 18.4 million, or 58.1 percent were in the labor force in March 1981, 632,000 more than a year earlier. Mothers of preschool-age children accounted for the majority (62.5 percent) of this increase. Regardless of the age of the youngest child, divorcee mothers remained far more likely to be working or looking for work than married, widowed, separated, or never-married mothers. These statistics are based on data tabulated each March from the Current Population Survey. Other survey highlights: - The number of families in which both husband and wife were earners did not in­ crease during the year, perhaps reflectiing a more limited job situation. The number of such families remained about the same at 25.6 million. Median income for these dual­ earner families ($27,745in 1980) was about a third higher than for families where only the husband worked and nearly triple the income of families maintained by women.

More than 5.7 million, or 61.0 percent, of these women were working or looking for work, including twothirds of those with children under 18. - On average, married-couple families are only about one-fifth as likely as families maintained by women to have incomes below the poverty level, with the probability depending on the number of earners in the family. About 16.9 percent of the marriedcouple families with no earners but 73.0 percent of no-earner families maintained by women had incomes below the poverty line in 1980; the proportions for families with two earners or more were 2.6 and 10.0 percent, respectively. Whatever the number of earners, black and Hispanic families remain more likely than their white counterparts to be in poverty. - Among the married couples with children, there were 14.9 million (59.8 per­ cent) where both spouses were earners during 1980. Only 7.0 million (282 percent) of these families still conformed to the old pattern where the father, but not the mother, had earnings. Where both parents were earners, 57.7 percent of the families had more than one child. Feuer than 20 percent of the families maintained by women with children had more than one earner and about one-fourth had no earners at all. - The number of married women, husbands present, who were in the labor force grew by about 560,000 over the year ; their labor force participation ra te reached 51.0 percent. The labor force participation rate of husbands continued to edge down, while the number in the labor force remained essentially un­ changed. Address City Give a Gift They'll Keep Forever!

Pastor Sunday Church Schoo! 10:30 a.m.. Worahip Service 11:30 a m. United Methodut Women lat Wednesday earh month. by Victor Sisson It has been customary to put on a contest in the Sunday School at Grace Wesieyan Church during November to stir up en­ thusiasm in all the classes and to get people who did not go to church to attend one Sun­ day hoping they would enjoy it enough to make attendance a regular habit. This special effort has always paid off but the S.S. Board decided to try something a bit different this year. For the first three Sundays of November, eards were passed out in all the classes in the Sunday School. The cards were to bear the name of the individual presenting them and be signed by the “friend” who promised to attend Sunday School as their guest on Friends Day, Sunday, Nov. 22. As fast as these cards were signed, they were to be brought back to the church and put up for display on the bulletin board in the church foyer. Soon the board was full. On Sunday morning, Nov. 22, the cars began arriving earlier titan usual, and several of the younger men were there to help Mike Hull, parking lot attendant. Additional greeters were on hand to welcome the strangers and “almost strangers" and make them feel at home. The pastor, Sunday School superintepdent and teacher, to add their touch of welcome, were right on hand and directed the visitors to the classes of their choice. As a special treat. The New Sound, a rather new group of singers and musicians from Nashville, Mich., were present to furnish special musical numbers in the Sunday School and morning services. The Sunday School attendance on the previous Sunday, Nov. 15, was 155. Both Rev. Davis and Supt. Robert Mallison announced that they were praying for 200 the following Sunday. Were they disappointed? When the rolls were taken in each of the classes, and an actual face count made, the record board in the front of the church read: Attendance Today, 262. There were 103 who signed visitors cards. At the close of the morning service, the entire audience was invited to go over to the all-purpose room where a bounteous potluck was awaiting them. It was not possible to get an exact count, but it was estimated that about 150 people enjoyed the delicious meal and the Christian fellowship which followed. The New Sound and others who had brought their instruments led the group in a “sing along” of old hymns and gospel songs, and everyone enjoyed Friends Day. Lake Odessa man suffers injury on his birthday A Lake Odessa man was hospitalized after a fall from a mixer at the Smith Brothers Elevator plant, 1105 4th Ave., Woodland, Friday. Harold Johnston, who had just come from a dinner celebrating his 60th birthday at the time of the accident, is reported in good condition at Pennock Hospital. Johnston was cleaning out a cyclone mixer when the machine was accidentally turned on and he was thrown to the ground. Les Fox, a Smith Brothers Elevator employee, said.

Returning only four letter winners the Saxons are counting on a lot of freshman and sophomores to fill starting spots this season. "Inexperience is really going to hurt us,” Furrow admitted. “Most of the guys have to get the basics down and pay their dues before they start winning.” Even in the light of a low level of success as a team. Furrow is optimistic about the squad. “This is probably the nicest group of guys I have ever coached,” he said. "This will be a fun year. We may not win but we’re going to enjoy wrestling.” Twenty-seven athletes came out for the team, four of them returning front line wrestlers. Ken Redman who is ineligible for the early part of the season returns as the bhie chipper on tire team. He rolled up a 26-8 record as a starter last season and qualified for regional competition. Jess Reaser returns after wrestling at 198 last season, 30 pounds over his body weight. Furrow said he wrestled in that class to make the starting lineup, but will be the 167 pounder this season. He had a 6-13 mark last year. Paul Hauschild returns in the lower weight classes. He had an 11-15 mark last season and will probably wrestle at 105 this season. The final returner is Hutch Clason who had an 11-19 record last season. Furrow looks for Clason and the other three to all have win­ ning personal seasons this year. "These four guys have paid their dues in the past and now they will have success," Furrow said. “At the varsity level wrestlers have to go through the ranks and get beat up for a while. If you work hard enough you reach a point where you can be a consistent winner." Reaser, Clason and John Lenz will serve as Tri-Captains for the Saxon grapplers this season. Furrow said that depth will be a problem along with inexperience in some of the weight classes. In six of the classes only one wrestler is listed on the depth chart. “Depth is important to a wrestling team because of the competition it can create within the team," Furrow said. "On some of our more successful teams here we have had a lot of competition. There was always someone pushing someone for the starting lineup." The young Saxons started paying their dues Tuesday night losing to all three teams in a triple-dual at Wayland Jeff LaJoye wrestled at 98 pounds for the Saxons. Hauschild went at 105 and got a pair of pins, and Jim Bolo held down the 112 spot. Clason also pinned a pair of opponents but lost on a decision to his Wayland opponent at the 119 pound spot. Bob Forbes was the starter at 126, Kyle Plank went at 132 and Chuck Prucha held down the 138 pound slot in the lineup. Jon Anderson started at 145 and Larry Hoffman at 155. Reaser, who won on a pin, a decision and a forfeit went at 167. Tri-captain Lenz wrestled at 185 in the triple dual and David Kensington, a fresh­ man, turned in a pair of pin wins and a forfeit win at 198. The Saxons didn't fill the heavyweight slot, but Furrow expects to do some shifting early in the year and try to fill all the classes. Wayland rolled the Saxons 48-18, but Comstock park and Rockford had to work a little harder to knock the Saxons off. Rock­ ford took their match 36-30 and Comstock Park edged the Saxons 39-36. The Saxon wrestlers host Lakewood today, and battle Gull Lake and Ionia on Tuesday, Dec 8. Their first taste of tournament action is in the East Grand Rapids Tournament on Dec 12. Saxon eagers open hoop season FridayThe 1981-82 version of the Saxons will open on the road Friday at Caledonia in the wakeof last year’s Twin Valley Championship. New coach Denny O’Mara will take a smaller, but perhaps quicker Saxon squad than last year to the home of the Fighting Scots. “No one has said anything about last year,” O’Mara said. "This is now, a new year and everyone is working hard so we can have a good one." Six lettermen including one starter return from last year’s team that rolled to an 18-4 mark. John Karpinski, a 5 ft. 9 inch senior guard, is the lone returning starter. He was the second leading scorer for the Saxons last year and is expected to run the show as the point guard this season. Senior lettermen Dann Howitt, 6 ft. 3 in­ ches, and Steve Del Cotto, 5 ft 11 inches, return with considerable playing time under their belts. Both are expected to fill starting positions this season. Howitt will post up at a forward and Del Cotto will play a guard or wing position. Steve Morgan, Wade Dakin and Stu Spyker also return as letterwinners. Morgan, a 5 ft. 11 inch senior, will man a wing position in the starting lineup, and Spyker, a 6 fL 1 inch senior, is battling junior Bruce Hartman. 6 ft. 5 inch, for the open forward or post spot. Six juniors that round out the squad to a total of lucky 13 are Steve Conners, Bruce Martin, Drew Howitt, Steve Strong, Jamie Owings and Todd Stuart. Conners, Stuart, Martin and Owings will look for work outside at guard or wing, while Drew Howitt and Strong will battle for playing time un­ derneath. O'Mara said'the Saxons will run a set-up offense with a point guard, but take the fast break when they can get it. “We’re going to try and go out and play the best game we can everytime we step on the floor," O’Afara said. “I’m worried about our size but we can make up for it by playing hard and hustling." O'Mara added he has been pleased with the play of his seniors. "The key now is to see if some un­ derclassmen can come through (or us.” As a rookie coach this season will be O’Mara’s first look around the Twin Valley, and he admits it could be a disadvantage. "I really have no idea what anyone else has," he said. "Albion is always good and Marshall has some talent, but that’s about all I know." The first two Saxon games of the season will be on the road. On Tuesday they venture to Ionia. Y-Volleyball winners crowned IS here Compu-jock, the wizard sports computer for J-Ad Graphics will present his "special and very opinionated" picks for High School basketball in the Banner this winter.

Boik Of a Sportsman of Hastings Firearm deer season has ended and John Lerg of the DNR in Barry County, reports the season was a good one for hunters. A 10 to 15 percent increase in the kill is estimated for the area, a.:d Lerg said that u probably a little bit higher than most parts of the state. Lerg said that the weather for hunting season was too mild in the words of many hunters. Snow in the coming weeks should help the bow hunters who can continue to search for deer. Rabbitt season hunting pressure should pick up now that deer season is over. Grouse reopened on Dec. 1, and with the clearing of the low land covers and bottom land areas, targets should be more frequent. Wrestling results Friday’s hoop games...

(Burghdoff) Layne who passed away one year ago December 7, 1980. In tears we watched her sinking, We watched her fade away, Our hearts were almost broken, We prayed for her to stay. But when we say her sleeping, So peaceful free from pain. We could not wish her back To suffer that again. Lord keep your arms around her And in your loving care, Make up for all she suffered And all that was unfair. It broke our hearts to lose her, But she did not go alone. For part of us went with her The day God called her home.

Owners of the properly, John and Doris Kokes requested the zoning change to reconstruct the former Wall Lake Inn which was destroyed by fire in 1979. However, the commissioners’ approval does not automatically pave the way for reconstruction of the business. The ammendment must be sent to the Department of Commerce in Lansing for approval, according to state statute. If that department grants approval, then the Kokeses can apply for a special use in that zone. The county planning commission has the final authority In grant the special use permit, said Winifred Keller, director of the county planning, zoning and building office. Commissioners voted 6-5 to change the zoning of four acres of land at the corner of M-43 and Walldorf Rd. from agriculturalresidential to commercial (C-2). Voting against the approval were com­ missioners Albert Bell, Edward Daniels. Otis Hermenitt, Walt Soya, and Richard Sunior. Board Chairman Kenneth Radant, who voted in favor of the zoning change, said the matter was “a difficult issue to deal with" and the board spent several hours discussing the request. A good representation of Wall Lake residents — who opposed the change because of alleged noise, littering, and fear of a decline in nearby property values — at­ tended the meeting, he said. Radanl said he felt that those opposed to the rezoning change “were mixing zoning with personal feelings on whether they did or did not like (that particular) business establishment. He also said the request for rezoning was "a matter of hardship" for the owners who were under the impression that (hey had bought a business where they could rebuild "They never would have gotten their money back if it (their property) were made into a residential area/' He also said that because Hope Township voters approved the sale of liquor by the glass at an election several years ago, “the voters gave their implied endorsement to Wall Lake Inn." John Woods, president of the Wall Lake Association, said "We're very unhappy about the board's de^sion, and I'm sure we will take further action.” School study committee to report Millage election date to be scheduled I *M ai «i» «W •**! in ** Dorothy Adrounie Day’ et for December 16th U HUSH KIMtl wrmnmc u m wc* Mi; M i: Dorothy Adroun’e hears the news from County Board Chairman Kenneth Radant that December 16 has been declared a special day in her honor to pay tribute to her political contributions.

Mrs. Adrounie came to America in 1909 and became a naturalized citizen of the United States on February 17, 1922. She “determined that the Republican Party best represented her own personal political philosophy and thereafter never ceased to work tirelessly on behalf of the party, candidates and elected officials," the proclamation states. Mrs. Adrounie, in addition to her leader­ ship role with the county Republican Women, served as chairman of the Barry County Republican Party; served numerous times as a delegate to county, state, and national conventions; was involved in the state federation of Republican Women and other activities which earned her a place in ‘Who’s Who in American Politics. “In an era of too much citizen com­ placency over becoming involved in the wo party political system, Dorothy Adrounie is the model of the effect one person can have when determination dedication and unselfish involvement are combined in the pursuit of better government for all of us,” the proclamation said. Two major topics (hat deal with the restoration of programs will be the focus of the Monday. Dee 14, meeting of the Hastings Board of Education. The major topics will be the recently ap­ pointed Educational Study Committee's report of their findings, and the con­ sideration of a spring millage date to restore the recommended programs. The committee, chaired by John Warren, will make a report relative to the restoring of some of the services that have been reduced because of austerity, an agenda released by Superintendent Richard J. Guenther said < this week. Guenther will ask the board to give thought to a millage election on one of two dales. Monday. March 15, or Monday. May 10. Lew Lang, director of instruction for the Hastings Area Schoo] District, said today that a sufficient millage amount to cover the committee’s recommendations will then have Io be decided. “Many programs have been left out of the recommendations completely, while others will continue to go unrestored," Lang said. Some of the programs that the committee will recommend for restoration include, instructional equipment, instructional supplies, textbooks, K-12 library services, elementary vocal music, elementary physical education, and athletics. Other recommendations include restoring the director of education back to fulltime, restoration of an administrative assistant for non-instruction fulltime, restoring depart­ ment heads, a second band position, and returning elementary principals to fulltime instead of teaching part time. Also on the agenda for Monday's meeting will be the consideration of a bid to buy Altoft School. Hastings Christian School has sub­ mitted a bid of $10,005 for the building ap­ praised al $32,297. Guenther will recommend that the board reject the bid. Guenther will also recommend the setting of tuition rates as follows: Secondary (grade 7-12) $475; and Elementary (grade K-6) $400. Other things on the agenda include, releasing of Cinny Robbe, a Junior High physical education instructor, and Ken Robbe. principal at the Junior High, from their contracts effective Jan. 29, 1982. because they plan to retire, and the con­ sideration of minutes, financial stateme.it and the various monthly reports. Drive-in theater firm applies for rebuilding permit MIC Limited, which operates the Hastings Drive-in Theater on M-37, has requested approval to rebuild its fire damaged screen. Winifred Keller, director of the Barry County Planning and Zoning Department said. "They want to reconstruct a screen tower in the exact location and in the same size as the previous screen which was destroyed by fire,” Keller said. “They're trying to say a (zoning) variance is not required, simply approval of a prior non-conforming use." The theater is located in a C-3 (heavy commercial) zone. A hearing on the application will be held by the Zonin/ Appeals Board on Tuesday. Dec. 15 at 7:30 p.m. in the Barry County Com­ missioners Room. Keller said the meeting may be moved to the Court Room if a large audience is present. The application was submitted by the attorney for MIC Limited, Carl L. Rubin of the Southfield law firm of Taylor and Rubin. P.C. Elizabeth L. Scribner of Durand was listed as president of the company. Arson suspected at Rutland Township residence The Barry County Sheriffs Department is investigating a possible arson at the home of a Rutland Township man. Phillip C. Potter, of 4320 Heath Rd., reported a fire in his log cabin, worth an estimated $43,000, Thanksgiving night. The Hastings Fire Department reported two calls to the Potter cabin late Thanksgiving night; one at 12:45 a.m. about a fire in a wood-burning stove and the second one al about 1:30 a.m. when the whole cabin was on fire. Firefighters spent half to three quarters of an hour fighting the first fire and about an hour making sure the fire was out, Fire Chief Roger Caris said. Caris said the whole cabin was on fire when the fire department arrived for the second call at about 4:30 a.m. Although the State Fire Marshall has been called in, the case remains under in­ vestigation. Snowmobile trail to open... The West Michigan Snowmobile Trail, which runs 142 miles from Lowell to Allegan and includes a stretch through Barry County, will be funded for this winter. State Rep. Donald H. Gilmer said Thursday. Gilmer said a letter to the editor, recently published in the Hastings Reminder (an affiliated publication with the Hastings Banner), reporting that the trail would not be funded for this winter, was incorrect. "Jim Wicks of the Recreation Division of DNR (Department of Natural Resources) said this morning that this week he authorized a check for $47,016 to pay for the leasing of right-of-ways along that trail,” Gilmer said. He added that the program will be identical to last year's program. The state representative said that all the money for the trail leasing program comes from snowmobile registration and no general fund money is used. "There was never any intention of closing down the trail," Gilmer continued. "Southern Michigan has more snowmobile registrations than anywhere else in the state."

And here is the rest of the storyThe mayor-elect passed his deadline to be sworn into office. That bit of news rated the “headline” position in the Banner of November 26, 1981. Is this all the news we have in Hastings? The headlines could have read “City Slow in Helping Chamber of Commerce Prepare for Holiday Season." Both items took iess than five minutes to discuss at the last council meeting. The article failed to say that the city notified a newly-elected council woman to be sure to appear within ten days. She knew nothing of this obligation until she was told. Why, then, did the city not notify Mr. Ken­ neth Howe, our mayor-elect? Perhaps the writer did not know this happened. Come on, Hastings, Mr. Snyder lost his bid for re-election in a fair and square battle. So without any more bitterness and undue embarrassments to anyone, let us work together and pull hard for a better Hastings. We can do it.

December 10. 1981 — Page 8 Social Service chairman plugs welfare limits Howard Edwards, chairman of the Berrien County Social Services Board, brought his campaign to limit the welfare benefits paid in Michigan to the Hastings Kiwanis Club. Wednesday. Edwards said that Berrien County Com- missioner Nancy Clark founded an organization called Save Our Stale 'SOSi which is pushing for a 1982 referendum on welfare limitation. Their plan would limit Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) to the average of payments in five surrounding states. Ohio. Indiana. Illinois. Wisconsin and Minnesota. Michigan currently is topped only by Minnesota in those five stales Edwards said that when he joined the board ten years ago. the budget for AFDC. Medicaid, food stamps and general assistance was $18 million. This figure for a county of 170,000, be said, did not include aid programs for housing, energy assistance, day care, school breakfasts and lunches, home repair and other programs "Nancy Clark and I started working diligently on this because of the effect it had on the county and on Benton Harbor. After ten years of work, we gut it ’down’ to $56 million," he joked. Ona serious note, he pointed out that while the population had increased seven to eight percent, the Social Services expenditures increased 325 percent during the same period Edwards said that statewide, the welfare budget in 1970 was $800 million. This year, he said the budget will be $1.7 billion, a figure that is matched by the federal government "That one-half billion more than we spend on education." he said. "It's the largest expenditure in the stale of Michigan." SOS needs to gel 300.000 signatures on petitions to make the 1982 ballot. Edwards estimated that the state would save $175 to $200 million dollars "AFDC is not the largest expenditure of these four programs." he said. "Un­ fortunately. Medicaid is the most expensive. I think Medicaid is the most corrupt. It s growing by leaps and bounds every year." He said, however, that he didn’t blame the doctors for the growth. "The state prints Medicaid cards by the millions and they pass them out by the millions." he continued. "There will never be any reduction in medical costs in this country until we get away from the third party pay system." Edwards said that because Benton Harbor is located near the Illinois and Indiana borders, they have an influx of people coming to the state for the welfare benefits. •We nad 774 applications from people who were new applicants." he said "This generated 1.698 new recipients of welfare in our county. This has got to be a huge factor in Detroit.” He said that SOS is not against helping the poor, but was against helping the greedy Edwards retired as general manager of Voice of Music Corporation io Benton Harbor after 25 years He then served with the U.S. Stale Department in aid programs, working in Korea. Indonesia and Vietnam After he left the Slate Department, he came out of retirement to work as general manager of Fairplain. Inc. in Benton Har­ bor Commenting later on the SOS petition drive. State Rep Donald H Gilmer called it a reasonable proposal and one that he sup­ ports "Clearly, in my mind, if our payments are substantially higher than surrounding states.' Gilmer said, “we are going to attract people from other stales." He said that a shift in the budget can be tracked from education to social services. "Our schools are in absolutely desperate straits." he said. "We have tried < to limit social services expenditures) legislatively and have been beaten time after time." Gilmer said he is also supporting a petition to earmark a portion of the general fund for education Education expenditures were about 26 to 27 percent of tie budget ten years ago. he continued, but now they are down to about 16 to 17 percent. This clearly indicates a shift in priorities that I can't support," he said. Nashville girl injured in fall from car A Nashville girl was hospitalized after she fell from a car.

After the first of the year we will have 35. Top employment was 45 early in 1981. We lost a mechanic, one secretary and one sergeant in charge of marine enforcement." The Hastings Business and Professional Women's Club heard about the history of miniatures at their annual Christmas ► meeting Tuesday. Dec. 8 at the Moose Lodge Guest speaker was Nancy Van Hom. of Greenville, who operates Nancy’s Nostalgia Shop of miniatures. Mrs Van Hom explained that miniature collecting goes back to the times of the Pharoehs in Egypt. Entire, collections of miniatures were included among the Phiroah's possessions in his pyramid for burial. England is famous for its doll houses. Going back to the Elizabethan Era, Queen Elizabeth 1 used miniatures to keep an inI venlory of all their possessions. Queen Mary’s doll house in Windsor Castle is very extensive and everything works in­ cluding a tiny vacuum cleaner. Mrs. Van Hom displayed many miniature items including many handcrafted ones. She knits afghani with needles to achieve the proper scale. “There is a great beauty in snufllness,” Said Mrs. Van Hom. "It illustrates the closeness and fineness of texture." Mrs. Van Hom has been involved with miniature collecting, the largest growing collectible, second only to coin collecting, since about 1939. The Hastings BPW had a ham dinner and enjoyed a medley of Christmas music by the Hastings High School Choir. Guests at the dinner included Sharlot Sour’s sister. Linds Kraus, from Olivet; Sharon Kermeen’s mother. Chryslal Ker'meen who cooks for the Middleville schools; Denise Loftus’ mother. Iris Loftus who is with the Sheriff’s Department in Hastings; and Denise’s grandmother. Eva Horsley of England.

The Saxons could manage only 14 rebounds on the night, while Ionia grabbed 42. 20 of them on the offensive boards. •We just couldn't stay with them on the boards." Saxon Coach Denny O'Mara ad­ mitted. "When you shoot 30 percent and don't get any rebounds you get beat " Tne Bulldogs, led by Jim Klein who scored 24 points for the night, rolled to a 10 point lead in the first quarter, held off a pair of Saxons spurts that closed the margin to six points during the middle quarters, and then blew the Saxons out in the final penod The Saxons contributed to the 22-12 first quarter Ionia lead by committing 10 of their 19 turnovers in the opening period The Saxons settled down in the second period. Forward Steve Morgan and guard John Karpinski hit from the outside and brought the Saxons within six midway through the second quarter. Late in the same quarter, an Ionia spurt behind Klein who scored 18 of his game high 24 in the first half, pushed the margin to 11 by halftime. The Saxons stayed in the bailgame with their outside shooting and closed the gap to six once more in the third quarter, but tur­ novers allowed Ionia to lake a 15 point lead into the final stanza. Ionia rolled in for the win in the final quarter outscoring the Saxons 22-10. Karpinski finished as the Saxons leading scorer with 12 points. Morgan added 11 and Howitt led rebounders with 4. O'Mara said the fact that the Saxons stayed in the game for three quarters was encouraging. "To stay in the game for three quarters with rebounding that bad. we must me doing something right," he said. The rookie mentor admitted he did see some improvement over the Saxon's opening loss to Caledonia last Friday. "We were one step better than Friday, but we still haven't come close to jelling as a team yet," he said. In practice on Monday the Saxons lost the services of forward Stu Spyker for the Ionia game. He bruised his knee during practice drills. O'Mara hopes to have the 6 ft. senior back in uniform for Friday's league and home opener with Albion. After Friday's contest with Albion the Saxons won't find the going any easier. They entertain the Vikings of Lakewood in a traditional rivalry.

Barry County Drain Commissioner, will step down from his post at the end of this month. Bratton, citing personal reasons, iias asked that his resignation be effective January 1. He has served as dram com­ missioner since 1974 when he was appointed to the post after the death of former drain commissioner Dean Braden. Bratton has won election to the position since that time. Because of the Bratton’s resignation, it is the duty of the county clerk, prosecutor, and probate judge to appoint a replacement to serve until the post can be filled in the next general election. Mobile Home Hearing, continued from page 1 must now be permitted in any residentialdistrict, but the local ordinance may impose certain standards regarding design, in­ stallation methods, and appearance in order to make (he unit compatible with con­ ventional housing. We feel that is what we have accomplished with this proposal ” Whitelock said he was pleased with the order of the public hearing and the fact that lhe public was allowed to express their views. •ft was very orderly and I’m sure they will take a look at what we want." Whitelock said. "1 hope they take a good long look at this and come up with something to make it belter for the people who own the single wide <12 to 14 fl.) mobile homes." The proposed ordinance that Woods presented deals with manufactured housing on three levels according to the quality of construction The three levels as Woods presented them are: — Manufactured housing constructed ac­ cording to the State Construction Code standards, the same standards applicable to conventional housing, placed on a permanent foundation, and constructed with a sloping gabled roof so as to be compatible with conventional housing in the area, would be permitted in the R-I. RL-1. and H zoning districts. These are the most restrictive residential districts, and it is expected that lhe highest quality development would occur here — Manufactured housing constructed ac­ cording Io the standards developed by the U.S. Dept, of Housing and Urban Develop­ ment (HUD), an industry standard but a lower standard than the Slate Construction Code, and placed on a permanent foundation would be permitted in all other residential districts (R-2, R-3. RL-2. C-2, A. AR and CR). — Manufactured housing which does not meet the HUD standard or the State Con­ struction Code, generally units constructed prior to 1976. would be permitted only in mobile home parks in the R-3 and R-4 districts. In all three zoning levels the manufactured housing would have to have a minimum floor area of 720 square feet. Woods presented. In all districts except RL-2, the maufactured unit would have to have a minimum width acros. any and all faces of 20 feet. In addition, mobile homes would be per­ mitted on a temporary basis only in the case of an emergency, or while constructing a permanent dwelling. In the latter case, a permit may be issued by lhe Building In­ spector for not longer than two years, provided the property-owner has already obtained a building permit for the permanent structure and has completed construction of the basement or foundation for it. The proposal eliminates the granting of special use permits for manufactured housing Property-owners seeking a variance from the size restrictions for a mobile home or other restrictions will have to present their petition to the Zoning Board of Appeals. "The proposed amendment attempts to balance the need for affordable housing with good land-use policy and questions of equity of investment and tax burden of conventional housing." Woods said in closing his presentation. "In may ways it is the result of political compromises, balancing the needs of one segment of the popuiat ion with those of another " Clerk Norvai Thaler said that he and Prosecutor Judy Hughes, and Probate Judge Richard Loughrin expect to name a replacement to the post between Christmas and New Year’s. In the meantime, they invite interested persons to apply for the position prior to noon on December 24. Application may be made at the County Clerk's office in the courthouse in Hastings. The person named by the three-member panel to replace Bratton will sene during 1982. starting Jan. 1. Those interested in making a bid to be elected to fill the remainder of lhe term which expires in 1984 will have to run in the August primary in 1982. Voters w ill elect the replacement next November.

Lake Rd. to discuss how to better meet the needs of Barry county­ residents at the annual snow meeting Tuesday afternoon Larry Hollenbeck, director of the Civil Defense Department said that all emergency­ calls were to be routed through the Barry county Sheriff's Department. "And wcfwill make a decision from there,” Hollenbeck said. He added that the Civil Defense Department, located in the basement of the Barry County Sheriffs Department will have hospital, health and ambulance people on hand that would make medical decisions for the people handling the storm. Hollenbeck asked each department representative to tell what services they could offer in the event of a snow storm or heavy snowfall and what help they'd need from other departments Departments and organizations represented at the meeting were the BarryCounty Road Commission. Pennock Hospital, Hastings Ambulance Sen ice, Inc., Hastings Police Department, Consumers Power Co., Middleville-Thomapple Town­ ship Fire and Ambulance, the news media. Hickory Corners fire Department, the Hastings Post of the Michigan State Police, the Barry County Chapter of the American Red Cross, the Barry-Eaton County Health Department, the City of Hastings and BIRCH Rural Fire Departments, the Hastings Township Supervisor. the Barry County Sheriff’s Department and the Michigan Bell Telephone Co. Ron Lear, engineer-manager of the Barry County- Road Commission said that the Commission would be working with less men and fewer pieces of equipment than before "We have better equipment than we had in the winter of 1978, but we have the same snow removal procedure as in previous years.” Lear said. Lear then read the 1980-1981 Winter Maintenance Policy. "On weekends or other scheduled holidays, the trucks will not normally be called out for snowfall of four inches or less, unless the roads become dangerously slick or some other dangerous condition develops."the policy said."When road-blocking snow falls on a weekend or holiday and some headway­ can be made, the trucks will be called out to plow ’’ On workdays, unless a road-blocking condition exists, plow ing operations will be confined to an eight-hour day. Lear con­ tinued. Brine mixed with salt will be used, unless the use of rock salt is specifically authorised, in order to costs, he added The Road Commission will plow the main roads to two-way traffic before work is done on the secondary roads. Lear added. "Because of past unfortunate experience, this Commission wil’ repond only to those emergencies cleared through Pennock Hospital or the Sheriff s Department." Lear said Lear added that the Commission will restate its policy if the financial condition dictates. Barry County Sheriff David Wood said that the department was not laying off from its road patrol or from its posse, but they won't know their needs until the next storm Calinda Munson, executive director of the Barry County Chapter of the American Red Crass, said that the Red Cross has primary and secondary facilities in all towns, but no volunteers in Nashville Munson said that regular shelters can be provided through churches and schools She added that nurses will be available at the shelters, but only for people in the shelters, unless some people are stranded and needed medical care Munson asked Hollenbeck if emergency food supplies are available locally "If it's a real need, most churches can tell i people1 who has food fora day." Hollenbeck said Munson added that the Red Cross will be having a shelter drill, in Middleville, in January She said that hot meals will tie provided at the shelters, and any crews that help out in emergencies get a free meal Hollenbeck then asked if any agencies would like io have qualified people call them when there is a snow storm, and tell them where it's getting bad Both Ron Lear, of the Road Commission and Sheriff Dav id Wood said they would like to have this service Wood said that mutliple-car accident* often occur because of white outs, and snow­ blowing across the highway. He said that his department would like to know about storms so that they can send cars out there and re-route people The State Police, and other law en­ forcement agencies mentioned that people often tie up phone lines in the event of a snowfall, even if it is not an emergency. Hollenbeck agreed that the area police do not have the phone lines to handle un­ necessary calls Local law enforcement agencies also said that the new law says that police cannnot arbitrarily tow abandoned vehicles. The owner can contest the lowing in court and the police can get stuck with the bill, they said. Jack Wing of the Michigan Bell Telephone Co. said that Miss Dig can locate fire hydrants and green pedestals containing telephone wires that are covered up by snow Wing said that the green pedestals, often located in parking lots, can be potential traffic hasards. Hollenbeck asked the group what mechanisms would County- Agencies use to warn people in case of a big storm Hollenbeck added that the weather wire was being removed from the Sheriff's office, to reduce costs. However, the Weather Senice calls the Sheriff's Department in advance, so it is not a problem, he said. “WBCH will cooperate with any of these agencies." Dave McIntyre of the local radio station. “If it is an emergency, we will make a break on the air and notify (the people Immediately ” Hollenbeck said that the Hastings Fire Department also sends oui storm alerts over the frequencies. Hollenbeck informed the group that if the Governor declares an emergency situation, however, there is no monitary help available in the State at the present time. "Anything will be done at the expense of the local people handling it unless there is a Presidential declaration."he said.“If there is an emergency, give us your costs and it may help in getting funds." "Funds are only available for overtime," Hollenback said.“All volunteer fire departments are considered overtime because they are employed elsewhere." Hollenbeck will be issuing a series of press releases on what people should do in case of snow Pre-trial date set for Delton man The Barry-Eaton Circuit Court has set a pre-trial date for a Delton man on charges of murder.

A November 1980 fire destroyed the screen at the drive-in where sexually explicit movies have been shown. About 30 persons attended lhe hearing Tuesday at the courthouse annex Ron Coals, chairman of the zoning appeals board, told MIC Attorney Carl L Rubin that "Nothing has changed as far as this board is concerned" and that a variance 'to rebuild the screen) is still needed. Attorney Rubin stated that he was not there to request a variance because ac­ cording to zoning ordinance 8.3 he was just ask’ng for approval of a prior non­ conforming use Richard Aiken to explain that replacement of the screen would not exceed the 50 percent replacement cost limit of ordinance 8.3A Borts stated that he had appraised the drive-in al $44,200 minus a 20 percent depreciation and that with contractor's Aikens price of $11.212 to rebuild the screen it would give the drive-in a value of ap­ proximately $46,000. Board member Dick Scott questioned how the company received $36,322 from its in­ surance I or the fire damaged screen and how the company claims it will cost them only $11,212 Io rebuild it. Attorney Rubin responded that he believed lhe $36,322 included money for "the in­ terruption of business" as well as the cost of the screen Scott staled that lhe information received by the board had not stated anything about that. The board received a petition carrying lhe signatures of 28 persons from the Bible Missionary Church, located at 315 E. Mar­ shall in Hastings, asking the board to deny the rebuilding request and “any further requests." "I don't want to make a decision until all the facts are in." said board member Ellie Madigan, making a motion to table lhe request for 30 days Rubin responded. "In fairness to the board, your authority and discretion as a board are very limited. You don't have discretionary authority, you only have the right to make a decision on the information before you." Board members voted 5-1 to table the request, with Richard Hartman casting lhe only dissenting vole. Rubin added that previously the company had asked for a variance to construe: a bigger screen but that this time they were asking for permission to build a screen that would be the same size as the one that had burned Rubin stated. "We are na» asking fo anything that changes" and as a result there was "no need for varianceHe again cited the company's "vested right" as a non conforming use to receive approval Rubin also brouoght with him Realator Richard Boris of Kalamazoo and contractor Nutrition Site opened in Delton — The Barry' County Commission on Aging (COA) held the grand opening for its Delton Nutrition Site starting al 11:30 a.m.. Tuesday. Dec. 15. at the VFW Post 422 on Stony Point Road. "This is the first opportunity we've had to get a site in Delton." said Rae Hore, former Barry' County Commissioner and member of the COA. "I tried for years to get one set up when 1 was a commissioner." "We never had the money to open a site in this area," said Eloise J. Wolf. COA executive director, "and since we un­ derserve (have more than enough meals at other sites) we could open one here." The VFW Post 422 is providing the use of their kitchen and dining room for free and some members of lhe VFW Women's Auxilliary are serving as volunteers at the nutrition site. The Delton Nutrition Site, located on Stoney Point Rd., will serve meals from 10 a m. to 4 p m.. Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday. It has a serving capacity of 25 people and it can accommodate people with special diets. The COA asks that senior citizens, who go the the site and wish to return the next day. sign up one day in advance. Hore explained that the main goal of the program is not to feed people, but to help reduce lhe loneliness and isolation common to many senior citizens. "The federal dollars were put in to it to get people out of their homes.” Hore said. “To get them acquainted with other people." To start off the grand opening. Wolf passed around senior nutrition applications and introduced the seniors to commission members, the VFW Post 422 and local of­ ficials and department heads.

Sheriff David Wood reported Tuesday that the van blew a rod in its engine when an­ swering a call to Bristol Lake earlier this week, and as a result the wheels have been put in motion to replace the emergency vehicle. Three county commissioners have offered money from their own pockets, two citizens are planning a January fund drive and the commission has given Sheriff Wood the go ahead to spend $2,000 of the department's budget towards the purchase of a new van and equipment For now the department s dive team is keeping some of their equipment in the trunks of three squad cars, and Wood said that is not the ideal set-up for emergency rescue County Commissioner Richard Dean, jne of three commissioners that have given $50 rom their own pockets to the Sheriffs Department, was the first to contact Wood after learning of the 1956 rescue vans demise Dean told the Banner Monday that he would make a motion for action at the regular Tuesday meeting of the commission His motion to give Wood permission to use $2,000 towards the purchase of a new van gained unanimous approval Commissioners Walt Soya and Otis Her menitt have given $50 each to the Sheriffs Department out of personal funds, and the Sheriff said Tuesday that Commissioner Albert Bell said he would give $50 Two Hastings businessmen. Gary Birman, owner of Gary's Wrecker Service, and Mike Hawthorne, the owner of U-Renl-Em Canoe, are planning a fund drive through an account at an area bank that will kick off during the second week of JanuaryBirman said after hearing about the near drowning and rescue of Scott Smith, a four year old Hastings boy. in Algonquin Dike iast week, he and Hawthorne decided over a cup of coffee that something had to be done As reported in the Banner last week, the van ran out of oil enroute and officers nursed it to the scene and completed a dive rescu* They have set a goal of $6,000 that would pay for a 1973 Chevrolet Step-Van. equip­ ment and work that would be needed for conversion to a rescue vehicle Th. budgeted 12.000 and the $150 donated by th- ■ .mmissioners gives them a good start ' 'Aard' ’hat goal. Sheriff Wood said Birm n >atd tie will request th?t a plaque "thanking **'•" Smith for making this possible he placed in the new van as a reminder to the divers of the important work they do The van is in the possession of Birman and he ■Mild the title will be signed over to the Sheriff's Department in the near future In addition Birman has arranged for volunteers iodo repair and painting on the used vehicle. •fam surprised at the quick action and very pleased and grateful to the commission and Gary Birman." Sheriff Wood said ■‘Ever since I have been her**. I have been trying to replace the van It is nice we have some people who have unselfish interests of this type " Wood reported the 1956 Metro van has been in constant repair over the past feu years During that time it has had a n?w tran­ smission put in and required constant maintenance- attention Wood said that a dive van used to be just a recovery vehicle, but the advent of new cold water rescue techniques which increase rescue chances, has made it an emergency reponse vehicle Part of the equipment that the $6,000 would Pay for are dry suits Unlike the common diving wet suit, the dry suit does not permit water inside the suit "The dry suits are much better for ice conditions and cold water diving." Wood said. "With a wet suit there is quite a shock when you hit the water and ice cold water comes in to be warmed up With a dry suit you don't have a problem that wastes precious time and endangers the diver " Currently the department has wet suits and equipment for several divers, and Wood said that a van is needed to keep all of them in one place, provide quick transportation to •he scene of an accident and give the divers a warm place to dress ‘ideally, a team of divers is dressing while another officer drives the vehicle to the scene." Wood said "This new vehicle will allow (hat and the end result could well be •he saving of a life." Birman said the new van cost about $1,500 without any safety equipment, emergency lights and repairs included in the price Hawthorne and Birman plan to contact area businesses and organizations for donations Anyone interested in donating should contact him Hawthorne or the Sheriffs Department. The 1956 Internotionol Metro drive von shown here on o practice run in August blew a rod in it's engine this week. A 1973 Chevrolet Step-Van will replace it. Former commissioner challenges county apportionment plan Hastings, Michigan Vol. 126, No. 84 Thursday, December 23,1981 Supt. Guenther releases estimated Hastings school millage figure Richard J Guenther. superintendent of Hastings Area Schools, said that the estimated figure for the millage, on the March 15 ballot, will Im* up tn five and a half mills. This would raise up to $825,000 for the district "Of that. $275,000 would cover budget items recommended by the Educational (Study) Commitlee. and the balance would go toward the projected defecit, contract committments for 1982-83 and maintenance requirements.” Guenther said Budget items for restoration, elimination and to be left as is. were discussed at an informal invitational meeting of between some School Board members and com­ munity representatives. Dec 16, in the Hastings Junior High Vocal Music Room. Guenther said that 62 representatives of the community were invited, including the areas of industry, commerce, all unions, service clubs, farm organizations, other governmental units, the media, the presidents of all high school classes, the YMCA-Youth Council, senior citizens, the Barry County Commission on Aging, the hospital. Provincial House, employees unions, the Bar Association, the Committee of 33. the Medical Society, the local PTA. the Algonquin Lake Association, law en­ forcement agencies, hoard members of private schools. Band and Athletic Booster Clubs and citizens at large Guenther said that 32 of the 62 represen­ tatives invited signed the attendence sheet that was passed around at the meeting The board recommended that textbooks be replaced since many of the books in the Hastings schools had copyrights that were at least 10 years old. Peter DeDecker, vice president of the Hastings Education Association, added that this is especially important with science books, in which the information becomes outdated every five years. “It usually takes 10 to 20 years to get in­ formation into a text book." DeDecker said Asked if students should be required to pay for textbooks. Robert VanderVeen. principal of Hastings High School, said."State law requires that we provide textbooks " Miriam Sorby. president of the Hastings Education Association, said that the effect of the budget reductions did not really show for elementary school books and supplies, because many teachers paid for them out of their own pockets "In 1981. Hastings teachers spent $16,600 of their own money on books and supplies for their classrooms." Sorby said The Educational Study Committee's report also recommended that the half-time principals at Northeastern and Southeastern schools lie made full-time. 1. also recom­ mended that Central School have a full-time principal and that the following positions be reinstated: assistant junior high school principal, full-time junior high school principal and assistant high school principal. According to the school board, there will no longer be a junior high school principal when Ken Robbe retires, in January The Study Committee urged the restoration of department heads to the budget, because no curriculum planning has been done in two years Another item recommended for restoration is athletics. Dr James E Atkinson, representing the Athletic Boosters Club, said that athletics have lieen relying on gale receipts and in­ dividual contributions for revenue "I'm not sure how long this will last." he said. Atkinson said that varsity football accrued $19,374 in gate receipts for this fall "Varsity football carried sports for the fall season.” he said. The total fall sports budget was $24,072. as a result of gale receipts and contributions, and the boasters have been going hand to mouth in helping to sustain it. Atkinson said. He added that public funding would reduce the ticket price from $3 to $2 Other items recommended by the com­ mittee report for restoration include K-12 library services, elementary vocal music, elementary physical education, director of education and administrative assistant for noneducation. Items recommended t be left as is. since they receive funding from other sources, include agriculture, the yearbook, the retail store, co-op students, field trips and 6th grade camping. Items to be eliminated al this lime include director of elementary education, director of special services, assistant business manager, sub-leaching by secondary principals, building trades, orchestra, junior and senior high newspapers and staff workshops and conferences Dr. William Baxter, school board president, added that they would also like to see the student-teacher rat io of 32:1. allow ed in the present contract, be reduced to 25:1. Baxter announced that on Jan 4. during the public work session, the school board will talk about the total cost of the picture John P.

Mrs. Hughes had said that she fell the plan did not meet the Constitutional ideal of having as nearly as possible equal population districts. Reapportionment is required by law every 10 years, after each census. Io reflect changes in population. Herrington said his underlying concern in filing an appeal is his "interest in better county management." He said he favors a five-member county board. “I don't feel lhe county can afford to support two extra commissioners for the next to years." Herrington said. "II would cost at least an extra $100,000 and that’s talking about today's money without more inflation.

Charlton Park benefactor remembered at Christmas for year-round gift to area Generosity and giving to others is em­ bodied in Christmas It’s traditionally a time to remember those who are special and to say thanks to those who have been helpful or generous In the spirit of Christmas, a man whose gift touches the lives of many was remembered this week by the placement of a Christmas wreath upon his grave The wreath was placed at the tombstone of Irving Charlton — the benefactor behind Charlton Park — as a symbolic gesture of appreciation and remembrance for his gift to Barry County which continues to provide year-around pleasure to thousands each year. Charlton s gift, plus unselfish service by­ dozens of volunteers are responsible for Barry County's unique historic village and museum and the park surrounding it, said Kennsinger Jones, park board chairman “It all started in 1936." explains Jones, “when Irving Charlton donated 150 acres of land for use as a county park. He then built the three-story field stone museum to house the remarkable collections that he had ac­ cumulated "At the time of his death in 1963. Mr. Chariton willed not only the land and museum, but a fund to be used in its development to the people of the county he loved. While that money is not available for operating costs, it has been utilized in the building of the historic village where many of the wonderful appliances, artifacts, fur­ niture and tools of a bygone era are displayed,” he said. Last Sunday was a perfect example of public use of the park when hundreds at­ tended the annual Christmas Open House to enjoy caroling, Christmas trees, home-baked cookies, punch, good fellowship in the village church, and browsing through the schoolhouse, Bristol Inn and other buildings The blacksmith shop forge was aglow and youngsters were fascinated by the work of the village smithy, notes Jones. “Volunteers manned the buildings, demonstrated candle-making, baked cookies, and explained the history of various artifacts to visitors on Sunday,'' he said. A park board, which receives no com­ pensation, oversees the operation of the park. There are only four full-time staff members who work long hours to make the park a year-round source of pleasure to the Local Births: IT'S A GIRL Kristi and Darwin McIntyre, P.O.

Richard Ritter, director of the Barry County Department of Social Services, said Tuesday In order to close the gap between costs and revenues, Edward K. Moughtader. ad­ ministrator of the Medical Care Facility, is having people come in and conduct cost analysis studies. The Facility is also moving toward decentralized budgeting so that individual departments have to take care of their own costs. Ritter said. Moughtader added that the facility is saving $1,500a month just by using powdered instead of liquid laundry detergent. money, fund-raising events, bequests, corporate gifts, all sources of income over the next several years. "Generosity made the park possible, and generosity will keep the park flourishing as a proud part of what Barry County has to offer its citizens," said Jones. The Michigan State Police are making a special recruiting appeal for certain qualified canines whose owners may wish to offer them as candidates for trooper careers in law enforcement in the state. This appeal by the State Police canine unit in the department's training academy in southwest Lansing is as follows: "If you are a male purebred German shepherd or golden retriever between 8 and 15 months old. looking for an exciting life, a lot of travel and a lifetime of service to people, you may become a member of the Michigan Slate Police Canine Unit. "You are issued all of your equipment needed. A vehicle 'chauffeur provided), and your own family. A house is given to you (complete with janitor service) and also a lot of good food. ““If you are interestd. and can qualify, you may become a member of one of the best canine units in the nation by contacting your nearest State Police post or Sgt. William F. Flower in Lansing at (517) 322-1200.” Sergeant Flower has been associated with the department's tracking programs since 1973 and has been canine unit supervisor since July this year. He formerly handled tracking dogs at P,ontiaq pnd Landing posts. care; we cannot cut down on this.” In fact, the facility is working on new projects as well as adding to existing programs. Moughtader said. Since the trend, in the past three years, has been towards shorter stays, the ad­ ministration wants to put an emphasis on short-term stays with rehabilitation as well as providing long-term care. "Since our building was built about 23 years ago, we are using preventative maintenance", Moughtader said. "I cannot put a price on preventative maintenance,” Moughtader said. "If someone is killed in an elevator - what is the cost?" Ritter added that the administration is trying to capture more state and federal reimbursement by improving bookkeeping methods. The facility is also expanding on existing programs and services. Those services are medical records, physical therapy, speech pathologist, podiatrist, the spiritual program and activities. Ritter also announced that a 10 percent pay raise for non-union staff at the Medical Care Facility has recently been passed unanimously by the Social Services Board. The three-member Social Services Board consists of Helen Wenger, chairwoman; Rae M Hoare and Ethel Boze. The first five percent raise will take effect the first pay period in January and the second one, during the first full pay period in July. Ritter said. Moughtader added that the raise would come in two steps as a budgetary precaution against unforseen expenses.

Instead of allocating $100,000 to the Medical Care Facility, as the County did in its budget last year, it will be directly paying worker's compensation costs. Ritter said. Though the allocation to the facility was cut from $100,000 to $25,000, direct payment ol worker's comp , by the County will amount to about $100,000. Ritter said. “Since the County is self-insured, it (since the new budget) pays the individual claims of employees." Ritter added. The facility receives about 95 percent of its funds from Medicare and Medicaid, and only 5 percent from the County, Moughtader said Though many County departments have had to cut services to accommodate budget reductions, the Medical Care Facility has not.

Paator Sunday Church School 10 30 a.m . Worship Service 1130 am United Methodist Women lit Wednesday each month State Police director gives reminder about thin ice Michigan residents and visitors were given a seasonal reminder today by State Police Director. Col. Gerald L Hough, about the potential danger to persons who venture onto thin ice on nutdoor water areas in early winter. Hough said Michigan water accident statistics in the past have shown that non­ boating accidents each year include som° deaths caused by falls through ice. Because winter ice sometimes may look stronger than it is. Hough advised outdoor enthusiasts that ice thickness should be tested for safety where any doubt exists. Be- wary of areas where moving water under ice may keep the ice surface dangerously thin, he added, pointing out that these unsafe spots generally would be on rivers or streams or over spring areas of ponds and at the inlet and outlet locations on lakes. In view of upcoming school vacations as well as at other winter times. Hough urges parents to be especially vigilant in warning children about outdoor ice dangers, suggesting supervision be provided in play­ areas as necessary. To safely bear the weight of individuals or small groups of persons, outdoor ice on lakes, rivers, ponds, etc., should be from two to four inches thick. For heavier weights, such as snowmobiles, thickness should range from five inches and up for protection pur­ poses. Hough stressed that there should be provisions made for emergency rescue as part of any outdoor activity involving icecovered water areas. 1981-82 Michigan snowmobile deaths totalled at 21 Snowmobiling in Michigan in the 1980-81 winter season resulted in 21 deaths and 438 persons injured in 492 accidents, according to the State Police traffic services division summary. Annual average in the period 1970-1980 is 28 deaths. Compared with the previous season, the totals were a decrease of seven in deaths, and increase of 51 in the number injured and 77 in accidents. Registrations of snowmobiles in Michigan total about 467,036. Unknown is the number of machines which are operated on provate property and require no registration. Of the persons killed last season, 18 were in the 10-44 age group while three were older. Of the number injured. 371 were in the 10-44 bracket. The breakdown of major categories of accidents included overturning 70. and other non-collision. 77. Collissions with fixed ob­ jects total 156, with motor vehicles in tran­ sport. 139, with parked motor vehicles. 24. with pedestrians, five, with animals, six. and with other objects, 15. Of the accidents, the majority, or 336, involving 18 deaths, occurred in off-roadway areas while 156 happened on roadways, in­ volving three deaths. The light factor in the accident total in­ cluded daylight, 231, darkness-no lights, 226, darkness with lights, 10. dawn-dusk, 21 and light condition not stated, four. Accident death and injury totals for the past 10 years are listed below in the year, number of deaths, number of injuries, and number of accidents, respectively: 1971-72, 30. 1,9®, 2,028; 1972-73, 25, 1,543, 1,555; 197374, 33, 1,388, 1,488; 1974-75, 39, 1.336, 1.436: 1975-76, 23. 1.046, 1,156; 1976-77, 24, 852, 943; 1977-78, 34 , 894. 1.018; 1978-79, 25, 734, 811. 19794)0. 28. 387. 415; 198M1. 21, 438, 492. Advice offered for flu season What should you do if you have the flu? In most cases people don’t have to see their doctor immediately, said Dr. Thomas G. Hicks of Pennock Hospital, 1009 W. Green, Hastings. Hicks said that elderly people and people with other health problems such as diabetes should see their doctor right away. Otherwise, the symptoms, which include nausea, vomiting, aches and pains, fever and fatigue, can be treated by aspirin or tylenol, drinking lots of fluids and rest. Symptoms usually last three to four days. “If symptoms appear to be getting worse, then people should see n doctor," Hicks raid The Barry-Eaton Health Department offers immunizations for 53 every Monday from9a.m. toll:30andfrom 1 p.m. lo4 p.m. at the Health Center, 110 W. Center, Hastings. Dr. Paul Kvale, a State Board member of the American Lung Association strongly recommends that the elderly and people with chronic heart, lung or kidney diseases have flu vaccines. "These people stand an increased chance of complications following an attack of the flu because they are much more suseptible to bacterial pneumonia or other fata! secon­ dary infections,” Kvale said. The vaccine is 70 to 90 percent effective, but not enough people in the high risk category take advantage of it The 1981-1982 vaccine contains the same three virus strains. Type A — Brazil, Type A — Bangkok and Type B — Singapore, as last year’s vaccine. One important difference is that the potency has been doubled to improve the vaccines effectiveness against related strains. The Food and Drug Administration and Center for Disease Control point out that substituting a double dose of the JB8O-19RI serum for the 19«1 19R2 serum will not provide similar protection. The vaccination is good for about a year. Influenza, or the flu, can range from a mild upper respiratory infection to severe pneumonia and death. The disease strikes a large portion of the population every year, even without the presence on an epidemic. Its incidence is highest in the five to nine and 25 to 35 age groups. Anyone who contracts influenza is urged to keep away from infants, the elcrly and the sick. Wolpe announces opening of National Cemetery in B.C. Third District Congressman Howard Wolpe announced today that the official opening of the National Cemetery at Fort Custer has been slated for late spring of 1982. Wolpe said that the opening will be com­ memorated at a ceremony to be held on Memorial Day. May 30. Burials a' the new Region V National Cemetery will commence the following day, June 1. 1982. "The opening of the Fort Custer National Cemetery is a day that has been long awaited by veterans throughout the state of Michigan and especially those in our area," Wolpe said. "The Memorial Day ceremony will not only commemorate those soldiers who will be interred at Fort Custer but will also be a tribute to the Veterans of Michigan who have worked so long and so hard over the past three decades to establish a National Cub Pack 239 discusses derby At December 15th‘s Pack meeting Pack 239 discussed the Pinewood Derby coming up January 15. 1982 The derby car kits were passed out and the rules discussed 1982’s Derby hoped to see a new four lane track The winter carnival January 16. 1982 was also talked about.

Im? much easier now for Michigan to ' -mpete with other states in attracting new business and job development to the state, but we still have an image problem." Gilmer explained after the historical Friday session, when several Democrats broke rank with Speaker Bobby Crim and joined all 46 Republican Representatives in passing the compensation reform package The package of bills those legislators approved is the keystone to Governor William C. Milliken's economic recovery program "It is fortunate though, that we have these new laws that will make it more profitable to work and do business m Michigan because. when the economy picks up as expected tn midsummer 1982. Michigan will be in a prime position to benefit from the enhanced national business climate the improved economy will create." Gilmer said "But first, we must convince American businesses that Michigan has cleaned up n act and we are ready and waiting for the:investments in and commitments t0 M ichigan A nd we only have six months to do that The word .- definitely out now . and we must keep the i all rolling " Gilmer explained that the House voted to delete Labor Committee amendments to the legislation that would have cost business more than the present law. if enacted "The bills we passed, stripped of those changes, strengthen the definition of disability, coordinate benefits to avoid duplication of payments, and remove fringe benefits from the salary base for calculation of workers' compensation." said Gilmer He also explained that Michigan is the first slate among the fifty to feel the effects of any negative or positive change m the economy Because we are the automobile capital of the world, and because people stop buying cars the instant there is a downturn m the economy, our own state economy suffers. But on the other hand, the instant the national economy improves, car sales begin to climb, workers are called back to the factories to keep the supply up. and Michigan benefits from that." explained Gilmer "But more importantly, if Michigan can diversify its economy so that we are not as dependent on automobiles, minor fluc­ tuations in the national economy won't affect us as much We are now in an excellent position to diversify since we have reformed our workers' compensation system, and those new industries will find the Great Lakes State most hospitable " Barry-Eaton Health offers holiday nutrition advice In Elizabethan limes the holiday table was spoken <4 as the "groaning board", laden with foods that had been frosted, glazed, dipped. garnished, and otherwise eml»ellished from their natural states Now it - we who eat the festive food who groan We are so conscious of calories and excess weight that holiday foods evoke ■ onfliciing emotions of delight at taste treats ■nd guilt at adding weight to our rarely too'-lun Ixidies Some people prepare for holiday eating by •■hminaling high calorie desserts and snacks Indore the festive season begins They modify the size of their meals, and follow the tried and true recommendations for nutritional eating They eat the required two or three ounces •! rneai and poultry. one egg. a cup of dried lieans. peas, or lentils, or four tablespoons of P'-.mut butter daily for proteins, fats, minerals and B vitamins I >e|iendjng upon their age, they drink two to four < ups of milk daily, or choose yogurt. < heddar or cottage cheese from the milk group for calcium, phosphorous, protein, v.tainm A. and riboflavin I* our servings a day of fruits and vegetables, minerals, and roughage. and 'hrve or four servings daily of bread, cereals or fiasta lor starch, bulk, proteins, vitamins .mil minerals In tliis way they observe the rules for ■ ating from ’he four basic groups of milk, tnut vegatable, meat, and hread-ccreal Each of the basic foods serves a vital purpi-e Proteins produce the essential ammo acids for body cells' growth and sufijxiri Fats are a primary source of energy .md support the vital organs such as the kidneys i arbohydrates provide energy .md support our activity and growth, and t elhiloM eeox idcs Iwifk The minerals help to ...........

The Hastings Banner Devoted to the interests of Ba'ry County Since 1056 New tax law benefits self-employed If you operate your own small business, or earn a second income from free lance ac­ tivities. the end of the year is the time to assess your business entity. The benefits available to you through a sole proprietorship, partnership or cor­ poration have changed because of the new tax laws. So before deciding what form your activity should take, evaluate your business and personal income needs. For example, if you are a photographer who earns income from your work or if you run a small but income-bearing editorial service, you may wish to be recognized as a sole proprietor. The business entity is unincorporated but allows the net profit or loss of your business to be figured separately from your other income. Therefore, business expenses such as film for advertising cost, which would otherwise not be deductible, are accounted for in the business income. You could also depreciate the cost of camera equipment more readily with the new tax law. Setting yourself up as a sole proprietor may not change your tax status and it does not separate your business liabilities from your own. However, deduction? for business expenses can lower your personal income now taxed at lower rales While you can declare your hobby a business, if you show losses repeatedly, you will lose vour business status A partnership is similar to a proprietorship with two or more people contributing capitol or labor The individuals share the net profit and business deductions as well as respon­ sibility for the business debts. So if your activity requires high overhead for store space, or large borrowings for equipment, a partnership might not offer you sufficient protection. Caution should be exercised in a partnership since one partner can be held for tiie entire business debt such as a lawsuit. To avoid this, look into limited partnerships were liabilities are legally defined and often correspond with contributions. If a family forms a partnership, profits can be divided among parents and children who are generally taxed at a lower rate. Such an arrangement can reduce the parents’ income and provide for the children’s future. Coownership does not constitute a partnership, but any family member can become a partner by gift or contribution, as long as he Bellgraph named asst, treasurer at Hastings Manufacturing Co.

Thomas Bellgraph or she is active in the business There are rules preventing the formation of a part­ nership to simply distribute income and avoid taxes. To avoid business risk, you may wish to incorporate. This way. your personal property is protected unless you in­ tentionally misuse the corporate rates, but the dividends from the business activity are taxed again when they are distributed to the shareholders. As a corporate owner, you can distribute net income through salaries, organizing pension and profit sharing plans, and making tax-deductibe contributions. In 1982, Keogh plans for the self-employed can receive annual tax-deductible contributions of $15,000 or 15 percent of income, whichever is lower. This is an increase from 1981. If you meet certain requirements, you can form a Subchapter S corporation, which can be held by no more than 25 people beginning January 1.1982. (This is 15 people in 1981.) In this situation, you will be taxed similar to a partnership. Under the new tax law. the benefits of incorporating may not be as large. Corporate rates tor the hist »uu.Uvu u. illume have <iu>u decreased. Hou ever, personal tax rates have decreased more dramatically than corporate rates and the maximum tax to individuals is set at 50 percen’ beginning in 1982. This is reduced from 7( percent in 1981. To decide which business entity is right for you. review your business finances. Hou large is the legal risk in your activity? Should you share it with one person, earn1 it by \ ourself, or assign it to a corporation? How much income do you expect to receive? Would you benefit by receiving it as income or deferring it in a corporation? In addition, the new tax law offers several benefits. For example, working married couples can subtract five percent of the in­ come of the lower paid spouse (10 percent in i982i. and child care credits are available. The law also exempts children who work for their parents or a family business from social security tax. Liberalized rules for forming Individual Retirement Accounts < IRA»are also available under 1982 tax laws. <Editor’s note: Tliis is the first article of a four part series prepared by the Michigan Association of Certified Public Accountants dealing with money management.) Michigan Farmers Union urges farmers to contact congressmen Michigan Farmers Union President Donna Cootware today urged Michigan family farmers to call or meet personally with their Congressmen and Senators over the six-week Congressional recess. "The farm bill passed by Congress today is a blueprint for disaster," said Cootware, who farms with her family near Ralph. Michigan. "We’re looking at an economic depression in agriculture in 1982, and this bill does nothing to head it off." Her statement followed on the heels of a similar call by the Executive Committee of the National Farmers Union meeting in Denver at the family farm organization's headquarters on Thursday. "Farmers should present case histories of exactly what is happening farm by farm as low prices, high production costs and high interest rates have put farmers in the same type of situation they were in back in 1932," Cootware said. "Some Congressional leaders as well as Secretary Block argue that farmers support the 19R1 farm bill The Farmers Union does not believe this is true. The best way for the truth to get to Congress is for farmers lo speak out." she said. Cootware said the farm bill will lower price support levels for the major grain crops to as low as 40 percent of parity by 1985. Milk, they said, would drop to 60 per­ cent of parity They noted that the overall parity level today is 57 percent of parity, comparable to prices diring the Great Depression in 1932. Cootware said farmers should thank those Michigan Congressmen who voted against the bill and commend them for their un­ derstanding of the importance of food in a hungry world. Congressmen who voted for "the worst farm bill in history should have the economic realities of farming explained to them carefully." “Since the vote was so close in the House, we are hopeful that after some intensive work by individual farmers over the recess a coalition can be put together in Congress to take corrective action to bring price support levels up high enough to save farmers frum bankruptcy." she said.

Gift-giving can also be a way to transfer wealth and reduce taxes. Whatever your reason, whether you plan to give regularly or oc­ casionally, you should know the tax regulations governing gifts. .Although 1981 rules are unchanged by the new tax law, change will occur in 1982. Familiarize yourself with the present standards and next year's changes to take advantage of gift exemptions. The current limit for annual tax-free gifts is $3,000. In addition, each person has an exemption for $175,625 which can be used over the course of his or her life, or to offset estate taxes. These limits represent the amount of the gift that is tax-exempt. For example, if you give your child $5,000 in 1981, only $3,000 of the gift falls under the annual gift tax exclusion. The other $2,000 can be deducted from your lifetime exemption which then leaves you $173,625 to distribute, plus your annual gifts. Gifts above these amounts are taxed at the gift rate which can run as high as 70 percent. Beginning January 1.1982, this rate will be 50 percent. Remember, the gift exclusion is figured per individual. If you and your spouse agree, you can double your gift to any recipient. For 1981. your allowed exclusion actually totals $6,000 per recipient. How much impact does ’he e elusion for a gift really have? A lot depends on your in­ come and your tax bracket. If you and your spouse have one child and a combined in­ come of $50,000, without any deductions, you are in the 49 percent tax bracket. If you save $6,000 for your child (the maxrumum gift allowable) and invest this at 12 percent in­ terest compounded annually, you will have $4,800 in interest, or approximatley $10,800 at the end of 10 years, after taxes. If the point of your giving is not to reduce your taxes, but to provide for your children or heirs, you also benefit by giving an annual gift. The gift tax is made not on the property.

While the worth of the gift need not be reported for income tax purposes, any income produced from the gift is taxable Even so. because of the recipient’s low income, he or she will not have a high tax bill to pay. Depending on the size of die gift and the accumulation of the fund, you may or may not benefit by opening an account in trust for the recipient. There are different kinds of trusts and varying degrees of control which the giver exerts over the fund. With moat trust funds, the recipient can gain control at age 18 or 21. To qualify for the exemption neither the principal nor the interest should be used to pay for ordinary parental obligations, such as food, clothing or shelter. The money can, however, be used to advance the education of the child. Under the new law, gifts for school or health care do not decrease either the annual gift limit or the lifetime limit. Most trusts accept slocks, bonds, securities and life insurance annuities as contributions. In some states, however, acceptable contributions vary. In addition, the gift or transfer of stock is not taxable until the stock is sold. Dividends, except for the $100 tax exclusion, are taxable; but, once again, the recipient will probably pay a lower tax on the income than the giver. When the stock is sold, the capital * gains are taxed at the recipient’s tax rate unless the stock is sold within two years after being given to the trust. In such cases, the donor’s rate applies. In 1982, gift tax allowances will increase. After January, the annual gift tax exemption applies to gifts of up to $10,000 per spouse, while the lifetime allowance increases to $250,000. That amount continues to increase until it reaches $600,000 in 1987. When giving gifts, keep in mind not only your estate and tax planning, but also your present finances. Gifts should not leave you financially strapped.

S-«« >SSS Offices in Hastings and Middleville — Member FDIC �The Hastings Banner — Thursday, December 24,1981 - Page 12 National PTA opposes plan to dismantle the Department of Education The National PTA strongly supports the Department of Education and will oppose any attempt to dismantle it, said Mary Ann Leveridge. National PTA president, al a meeting of the organization's Executive Committee this week in Chicago. "The National PTA is specifically opposed to Secretary of Education Terrell Bell's proposal to replace the Department of. Education with a National Education* Foundation." according to Leveridge. The foundation would lack Cabinet-level status and place education programs under the jurisdiction of a number of other federal agencies, she said. “If the responsibility for education is dispersed under Secretary Bell's plan or any of the others which are currently being considered, education programs will be distributed among departments with other, higher priorities and educational concerns will become secondary." Leveridge said. "By eliminating the Department of Education and reducing the federal role to one of conducting research and gathering statistics, the Reagan Administration hopes io curtail what it believes is federal control of a slate and local responsibility," said leveridge. "Yet the Department of Education Organization Act includes the strongest prohibition against federal control of education ever enacted by Congress." she said "Federal involvement in education is not synonymous with federal control over education. The Department of Education was not created to increase federal control over what takes place in the classroom, it was created to solidify the educational partnership between federal, state and local agencies This partnership must be main lained if the quality of education in this country is to improve." she said. According to Leveridge, if the Department loses a voice in the Cabinet it will lose much of its power to support responsible funding for education programs which have been .mandated by Congress. Without the Supplementary assistance currently supplied by the federal agency, she says, states and localities will also have difficulty meeting the diverse needs of their communities and special populations <e.g . handicapped, disadvantaged and limited English-speaking children). "Education anti preservation of the public schools must remain at the top of the nation s list of priorities. At a time when federal education programs have already been cut by 25 percent, the elimination of a separate. Cabinet-level Department will severely hamper our ability to provide equal educational opportunity and high quality education to the children of America." she said. Leveridge also pointed out the ac­ complishments the Department has made in its less than two years of existence: Bringing staff and budget together under one roof, the Department is more efficiently managed than was the office of Education within HEW. ■ Program administration has been con­ solidated. - Grant management, student financial aid and regulatory procedures have been streamlined • Staff has beer, reduced by 500. • Lines of responsibility have been clarified. - Projects tc help children with special needs have been continued and improved. ‘ Throughout most of its history, the National PTA has pushed for a separate Department of Education. We will continue todo so. Only with an agency of this stature can the educational needs of all children and youth be properly provided for," leveridge said Charlton Park remembers... ...just an old fashioned Christmas In the museum, Kay Acker demonstrat­ es how to dip bayberry candles. The Christmas traditions of our grandparents were brought to life. Sunday, as Charlton Park, bedecked in holiday greenery, hosted hundreds of people at an open house.

December 24.1981 - Page 13 New mentor will lead Saxon Volleyball squad into battle — You can t really call Tom Freridge a new coach at Hastings High. He has been around for quite a while as the head tennis coach. But starting in January he will take on a new challenge as a head coach, the Saxons volleyball fortunes. He has helped make the Saxon tennis program a respected power in the Twin Valley and Western Michigan, and he looks forward to a “learning experience’' with his first volleyball squad. “I played on a Intramural level in college and have stayed in contact with the game.” Freridge said. “But most of what I really know about the game came from books." Freridge uaid he kind of fell into the job after Judy Anderson, the former head coach of the Saxon volleyball team, resigned. "At first I hesitated, but I like the challenge and I plan to learn on the job," he said. Many of the members of this year’s Saxons squad will be learning the game along with their coach. Freridge said that only three letterwinners return from a team that had a winning record last season, and they will be depended on for leadership and knowledge. Theresa Hause, Lisbeth Godfrey and Buni Guenther, all seniors, retirn with their letters from a year ago. The only other senior on the squad is Shelley Bell, an exchange student from New Zealand. Ten juniors fill out the rest of the roster. “The three seniors that return will be counted on for leadership and knowledge of the game." Freridge said. "We have a talented group of juniors, but they lack the experience." Hause, Godfrey and Guenther will probably hold down three of the six starting spots, but Freridge said nothing is final yet. Five juniors are also in the running for starting slots. Lisa Brownell, Jackie Jaynes, Amy Stack. Beth Poll and Amy Cotant could all earn strting spots by the time the Jan. 5 opener rolls around. Freridge insists his team will not be a six gal show however. “1 plan to substitute to take advantage of individual strengths," be said. “I have told the girls to expect this. If they can’t do a particular skill in practice, I can't expect them to do it in a match." Others on the squad that Freridge said will not be strangers to the fans are Lori Teunessen, Missy Pennock, Karen Hudson, Dawn White, Shelley Bell and Kristy Bayer. The Saxon schedule includes 20 regular season matches, 14 of those in the Twin Valley. In addition, Freridge hopes to enter his team in four or five tournaments, in­ eluding the prestigious Battle Creek Tour­ nament on Jan. 9. and the Kellogg Com­ munity College Tournament Jan. 3O-Feb.2. "I don't really have a grasp on what will happen yet." Freridge said. "As far as who will be good in the league, we will just have to play and find out." The Saxons will open their season on Tuesday. Jan. 5. hosting the Wayland Union Wildcats. Twin Valley action will start on Saturday. Jan. 9, when the Saxons take on Sturgis, Albion and Jackson. "We are going to improve over the course ci the season." Freridge promised. "Once our juniors get some experience their talent will show through and blend with the ability of our seniors " • Denotes home gomes Jon. 5 Jan. 8 Wayland* Hastings vs. Albion Jackson vs. Sturgis Hastings vs. Sturgis Jackson vs. Albion Jan. 9 Battle Creek Tourn.

Ito"*' photo1 Two Saxon eagers receive all-league honors Two members of the Hastings Saxons girl’s basketball team were named to the All­ Twin Valley teams announced recently. Kelly Mogg, a junior forward-center, was the lop vote getter on the second team, and senior guard Laura Allerding was listed as honorable mention. Mogg led the Saxons in virtually every category of statistics. She was the leading scorer with 220 points in 17 games, a 12.95 scoring average. She also led in rebounds, 154?, steals 74, assists 32, field goals made 89, and free throws made 42. Her 74 steals mark was tops in the Twin Valley. She also was seventh in the league in scoring, fourth in rebounding and tenth in assists. Allerding, the point guard and co-caplain of the Saxons, was the only senior on this year's team She was the fourth leading scorer on the team with 98 points in 17 games, a 5.8 mark per game, and second in assists with 68. The Saxons finished the season with a 6-8 mark in the Twin Valley, fifth place, and 7-10 overall. They lost in the district tournament to Charlotte. High School sports are treated differently in New Zealand. For instance, there is no league organized competition, most of the competition that takes place is on Saturday and you can’t win an athletic scholarship to attend college. But there is one thing that is the Fame no matter where you compete. If you are good, you find success. Shelley Bell, an 18 year old exchange student attending Hastings High, is proof of that. The statuesque blond is a distance runner. In New Zealand she was good enough to compete at the national level, and in Michigan she was good enough to compete at the state level. Her seventh place finish in the Michigan High Schoo! Athletic Association’s Region IV cross country run qualified her for state level competition in the recently completed cross country season. At the state meet she came in 18th place competing against girls from high schools across Michigan. Shelley is serious about her running Tn New Zealand she was under the auspices u( b running coach. Here, she continues to work on her running, shooting for track season in the spring. “I’m looking forward toit," Shelley says of the spring track season. "From what I have heard it is very competitive and if it is anything like cross country, I should make a lot of friends." She admits she takes some ribbing because of her native accent, but enjoys the people of Hastings. Shelley says her “exchange parents ’, David and Caroline Dimmers, 1010 West Green, have been very supportive. “My family (in New Zealand) is very dose knit and the Dimmers have made me feel at home," she says. Shelley’s brothers at home in New Zealand take part in sports as well. One competes in track and field and both run for fun and take part in varioui coirt games. The thing Shelley says that surprises her most about sports in Hastings is the amount of practice the athletic teams put in. “It surprised me that the teams practice every day," she admits. "At home you work on your own or with a coach if you want to improve.” "My coach gave me a program for my workouts when I left New Zealand," she says. “At first I thought it might cause a problem with the coaches here, but they have all been very understan&r.g." The team concept was also a surprise to Shelley. Ejcept for Rugby and a few other sports in new Zealand, competition is cen­ tred around physical education in the ud tools. In land area, New Zealand is about twice the size of Michigan, and has a population of about 3.1 million people. Shelley says she likes the United States and plans to return some day. She will return home after graduation to attend college, but unlike successful athletes here, she has no chance for an athletic scholarship. “I will continue to run with the club I belong to," she says. "There are only two universities in New Zealand and they place their attention on academics." Members of the Hastings Saxon volleyball team are, (front, from left) Coach Tom Freridge, Shelley Bell.

Citing five recent public opinion polls. Dr. Jay D. Hair, executive vice president of the conservation group, reminded members of three Congressional committees that "a vast majority of Americans of all political per­ suasions are strongly opposed to any watering down of our basic environmental protection laws.” The most topheavy poll cited by the NWF executive was a Louis Harris survey in­ dicating that 80 percent of the American people would like to keep the Clean Air Act just as it is or make it stricter, while only 17 percent favor a less strict law Harris testified before a House subcommittee on October 15 that “not a single major segment of the public wants the environmental laws made less strict." Hair also cited a New York Times - CBS News poll published October 4. in which 67 percent of the respondents wanted to "maintain present environmental laws even at a cost in economic growth." and a Min­ neapolis Tribune poll published October 18, in which 62 percent thought "protecting the environment is more important than economic growth — even u it slows the economy and costs some jobs." In a more recent survey of voter opinions in eight Mountain Slates, conducted by a Phoenix research firm and reported in the Christian Science Monitor of November 12. "fewer than a third of the Westerners in­ terviewed felt it was necessary to sacrifice environmental safeguards to have sufficient economic growth." Hair said, "and this group included many Westerners who rated themselves as political conservatives." NWF was not surprised at these "topheavy, pro-environment" figures.

Rosy cheeks on a tiny face. Winter is a holy time, With chapel bells that swing and chime. Days of feast and days of joy. Days of gifts for girl or boy. A greeting card from a faraway friend. An old-fashioned kitchen where aromas blend. Winter is a time of ending, And planning the year that will soon be ascending. Winter — magestic, quiet, serene — She rules the seasons a regal queen. Shirley Sallay OUTDOOR REPORT continued from page 13 astings avings & oan ASSOCIATION “TAX-FREE” ALL SAVER CERTIFICATE (Effective November 1st. thru November 28) said, because in a Federation survey earlier this year — at the height of the national debate over “uv ;r-regulation" — only 11.5 percent of NWF’s members thought the country had "too much" environmental regulation. Eighty-seven percent thought the country had either "just about the right amount" or “too little” environmental regulation. NWF has 4.5 million members and supporters throughout the U.S. and a total of 38,927 participated in the poll. "The evidence is overwhelming," Hair said, that Americans want to maintain their environmental safeguards. "We hope that members of Congress will remember this," he concluded, "when they are asked, in the guise of ‘fine tuning', to make the Clean Air Act less effective than it now is." Hair addressed his appeal to 98 members of the three Congressional committees handling dean air legislation — the House Committee on Science and Technology, and H-xise Committee on Energy and Com­ merce, and the Senate Committee on En­ vironment and Public Works.

"Cross-country and downhill skiing and other winter sports activities require sports enthusiasts to get in shape before beginning these strenuous activities." stated Walter Zeiler. Auto Club's Memberlife manager. "Lack of proper preparation could cause injuries severe enough to halt a person's winter sports participation. "Conditioning the muscles used in a particular sport is the best way to avoid injuries and work toward peak per­ formance." Zeiler said. "Amateurs should not expect overnight results since world­ class skiers often put in 15 years of work before qualifying for Olympic teams." Cross-country skiing primarily is an en­ durance sport which requires strength and stamina. H involves heavy use of arms and shoulders and the muscles which control the waist, abdomen, buttocks, calves and ankles. "Jogging is a good conditioner for building up endurance for cross-country skiing." Zeiler said. Downhill skiing requires power, balance and agility It places the greatest stress on the waist, abdomen and thighs Leg strength is important to safe and skillful downhill and cross-country skiing. Fatigue reduces balance and agility and increases the odds for falls which may result in injury. Auto Club recommends the following to prepare for both types of skiing and other winter activities; Push-ups for arms and shoulders; sit-ups and side jumps for the waist and abdomen; leg lunges and squats for buttocks; toe lifts for calves and ankles; squats and side jumps fur thighs. “Warm-up exercises are essential to relax muscles which naturally tense in cold weather.” explained Zeiler. "Tensed muscles mean greater risk of injury, especially during the first few minutes of activity, and a lowered level of skill." "There is also the risk of overworking the heart when vigorous exercise is begun without a well-paced warm-up.” he added Experts recommend a few minutes of mild, large-muscle activities gradually increasing in intensity before strenuous workout. Muscle stretching also will help increase limberness and flexibility. Stret­ ches should be part of both warm-ups and cool-downs after sports activities. "Pushing a car out of a snowbank and shoveling snow are among winter activities which can be stenuous and merit warm-up exercises," Zeiler said. "Auto Club's Winter Energy Fun Guide shows that an hour of moving heavy, wet snow require more energy than an hour of downhill skiing." WINTER FUN ENERGY GUIDE J Thursday.

Johnston A lengthy, heated argument between retiring Hastings Mayor Ivan Snyder and his successor Kenneth Howe erupted during the Hastings City Council meeting. Monday, over an appointment loan arbitration panel. The debate began when Snyder muved to replace himself on a panel which is to meet with an arbitrator and a representative of the police union. Teamsters Local 129. to decide a grievance. (See related article). Snyder recommended that the council appoint Mayor pro-tern William Cook to fill his spot on the panel. Howe, seated it. the audience, objected and three times asked the mayor to withdraw his recommendation. Each time Snyder said he would leave it up to the council. Howe first argued that a council member had never been a member of an arbitration board, but his claim was refuted by Snyder, who said he had sat on previous panels before he was mayor because he was able to get away from his job. Howe then argued that since an arbitration hearing had not yet been set (several dates have been cancelled), a hearing was unlikely to be set before the next council meeting. Jan. 11, when he could make the ap­ pointment. “Why wouldn't you let the new ad­ ministration make the appointment after the first of the year?-' Howe questioned “I think somebody on the council should lx? doing it.” Snyder repl ed ”1 don't think it's fair to the citizens of '-istings. The people that backed you were the unions 1 don't see how you can be fair." Dr. Kingsley Bennett, a First Ward citizen in attendence. asked First Ward Aiderman Patrick Vaughan to vote against the recommendation, because he agreed teat the appointment (Might to be made by the next council. Vaughan asked when the hearing is likely to be held; Snyder said he didn't know Gray asked if the meeting might be held before the next council meeting; Snyder said it could be. Howe objected, saying the hearings are usually scheduled a couple of months ahead. "I think it behooves t he council to make the appointment," Councilmember Mary Lou Gray said. After discussing the issues up for ar­ bitration. Snyder again said he didn't see how the mayor-elect could be fair in working with the unions because of their support for him in the election "I work for the city of Hastings, the same as you do," Howe replied. "I have the same loyalty as you have." Under questioning from Councilman-elect David Jasperse, Howe responded that he would support the city's position as it stood. Nonetheless. Councilman Thomas Robinsen joined the debate saying that he couldn't see any man better qualified to sit on the panel than Cook, who chairs the council's Finance Committee and has par­ ticipated m some of the union negotiations. Councilman Patrick Vaughan argued that since there was no immediacy to the ap­ pointment. he felt that Howe and ihree new council members taking seats Jan 1 ought to join in the decision. Robinson's motion to appoint Cook was supported by Gordon Fuhr. Supporting the appointment with them were Mary Lou Gray, William Cusack and Cook. Vaughan cast the only negative vote. Frank Campbell and Robert Birke. both of whom will step down from the council seats, this week, were absent. In other action at the meeting Provincial House received a 1981 summer tax refund of $1,859.85 following an order from the State Tax Tribunal lowering th** nursing facility's assessment from $550,000 to $435,000 The refund included taxes of $1,803.20. a collection fee of $18.03 and interest of $38.62. The council passed a resolution com­ mending Mayor Ivan Snyder for his “out­ standing example of citizenship" in 30 years of service to the city. The resolution noted his 19 years on the council, seven years as mayor and service as a volunteer fireman from May 1951 to May 1973. Snyder played a recorded message for the council in which he praised the city staff and the three previous mayors under which he served. Jack Hewitt, Franklin Beckwith and Cedric Morey. Snyder said that during his years of ser­ vice he was never pressured to do anything he didn't want to and never made promises to get elected. In other business — A bid of $10,526 for a new police cruiser was accepted from Renner Ford The dealership allowed $3,941 for trade-ins of a 1980 cruiser, a 1975 cruiser and a 1973 cruiser, leaving a net cost to the city of $6,585. — A one year maintenance agreement for cleaning and maintenance of City Hall was signed with CAR Appliance Services. Inc.. 2515 Chippewa Trail at a cost of $317 30 per week. The firm is being started by Charles Randall, former custodian at City Hall. — Council approved purchase of one year and four months of time toward retirement benefits for Gordon Trick, deputy chief of the Police Department, for time which he had worked but not been credited through a clerical error. The city’s cost will be $504513. amortized over 16 years. — Approval was given to the Hastings Area School District to use four voting machines for the March 15 special millage election. Tho first heavy snow of the win lor season fell on Barry County this week pro­ ducing wonderful winter scenes like this one at the Episcopal Church in Hastings. Whether they were cross-country skiing, sledding, snowmobiling or just walking, area residents used their holiday time to enjoy the beauty of Barry County. (8onn»r pbolo) Three open seats on June ballot Vol. 126, No. 65 Hostings, Michigan Thursday, Oocombor 31,1981 Audrey Burdick appointed to fill by Greg Johnson County Drain Commissioner post Auorey R. Burdick has been appointed Barry County Drain Commissioner to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of J. Ray Bratton. She will hold office until December 31, 1982. After that, the position will be held by the person elected in the November 1982 general election. Mrs. Burdick, 44, of Hastings, has previously served as deputy drain com­ missioner and her experience was a factor in being named to the position by Probate Judge Richard N. Loughrin. County Clerk Norval Thaler and Prosecuting Attorney Judy Hughes. ' The appointing officials said there were a number of qualified applicants who had been personally interviewed and given con­ sideration. Factors which weighed heavily in the decision wet? the continuation of the Gun Lake and Gull Lake Sewer projects now in progress, practical experience and working knowledge of all facets of the duties of drain commissioner, and the necessity of con­ tinuity in the work of the office in view of the short time before primary election. Mrs. Burdick is a 1956 graduate of Lakewood High School in Lake Odessa. Her previous employment includes working in the county corrections office and in the county juvenile court office. Hardee’s purchase of Burger Chef won’t affect Hastings store The purchase of Burger Chef Systems. Inc., by Hardee's Food Systems. Inc., will have no affect on the Hastings Burger Chef, David Rodenbeck, local owner, said last week. "It does not affect the Hastings Burger Chef at ail," Rodenbeck said. "We will continue as Burger Chef with the same employees and the same mehu." Rodenbeck is a franchise owner of the local restaurant, which will not be affected by Hardee's move to convert company owned Burge Chef restaurants to the Hardee’s tradmark. "We recognize... that Burger Chef presently has outstanding franchise agreements with its franchisees and are prepared to honor all Burger Chef obligations under such agreements," Jack A. Laughery, chairman and president of Hardee’s, said. Laughery also said that no personnel changes are anticipated in the entire Burger Chef top management group, headquartered in Indianapolis. Walton resigns, two incumbents will not seek re-election Dr. John Walton announced his resignation from the Hastings Area School Board. The resignation of Dr. John Walton, a member of the Hastings Area School Board for 13 years, and the decisions of two board incumbents not to seek re-election will open three seats on the June 14. school election ballot. In a letter to Dr. William Baxter, board president, dated Dec. 22. Dr. Walton said his resignation would he effective on Jan. 2. Baxter said Tuesday that former board member Robert Godfrey has agreed to fill Walton's spot until June if the board appoints him al the Jan. 11 meeting. Board members JoAnn Fluke and William Cotant, whose terms expire in June, told the Banner Tuesday they will not seek re­ election. Walton is in the second year of his four year term. His leaving will add a two year term to the ballot along with the four year terms being vacated by Fluke and Cotant. Godfrey, a school board member in the 1960's, served a six month stint in 1977 when Dr. Charles Morril resigned his position. Following 6 months of service Godfrey stepped aside and Baxter was elected lo the board. In his letter. Walton said the reasons for his resignation are personal and should not be interpreted as criticism or dissatisfaction with any segment of the educational system including the board, staff and ad­ ministration "1 should like to thank the community for their support the past thirteen years,” the letter said. "It has been an honor and priviledge lo serve on the board. My greatest reward has been the friendships 1 have formed through the years— the many won­ derful people I have grown to respect and love." Baxter said he is recommending that Godfrey fill in for six months and then step aside out of fairness. “This way the people have a chance to vole. We wculdn't want to put someone on the board that the people have not voted in.” Fluke, a board member for eight years, said she felt someone with children in the school system that has time to do the job should have a chance for her spot. “My children are out of the public school system and in college now." she said. “I have served eight years and I feel that has been long enough on the job." Cotant. a board member for 12 years, offered similar sentiments "I guess I feel it is time for some new blood." he said. New Year's resolutions still traditional By Elaine Gilbert Greg Czinder Shirley Cotant Brian Gahan Mr. and Mrs. Charles Cox Teresa Kohn Pot Molloy Making New Year's resolutions is a tradition that stems from ancient Rome, followed by England's annual first of the year cleaning of chimneys to symbolize good fortune and a clean slate to begin the next 365 days. For decades, it has been a tradition for many people to adopt New Year's resolutions as a type of self-motivated commitment to change what they see as personal short­ comings or to vow to reach a higher plateau of a goal they are already achieving Do people still make New Year's Resolutions? As 1981 draws to a close, a reporter in downtown Hastings encountered five who plan to make some changes and four who nixed the idea. Greg Czinder of Hastings was one who does Todd Gahan plan to make a New Year's resolution. “I’m going to be nicer lo my little sister,” said Greg. Shirley Cotant. also of Hastings and a former Banner employee, said she doesn’t plan to make any formal declaration of change. "I'm just going to continue as I am and just try to do better in everything." Another Hastings woman. Teresa Kohn, replied, “No I’m not really planning on making a New Year’s Resolution this year because I've always broken them." Brian Gahan, after joking about being “perfect." said. "I’m going to give up mouthing-off at my mother." “I'm also going to give up working on Saturdays." quipped the Hastings youth. Charles Cox of Hastings beamed at his wife and said, “We’re going to be happier in 1982 That's our New Year's resolution." Forest Miller Pat Malloy says he's never made a New Year's resolution and he doesn’t plan to start now. "They always get broke anyhow," chuckled the Hastings man. Todd Gahan of Hastings, has vowed that he’s going to give up "beating up on my little brothers " Forest Mills doesn't plan to make a New Year's resolution, but he said, "1 just live everyday like 1 ought to for the Lord. Across the street, Amy Gehl, 12. of Caledonia was carrying her little brother as she shopped while visiting in Hastings. Amy thought awhile about whether she would make a resolution this year and decided that she didn’t have one for her-self. However, “If I could make a New Year’s Resolution for others, 1 would wish that all the kids that are poor and don’t have any money could get help so they don’t have to starve and could have a belter life."

Johnston Barry Cowty's first bom of 1J80 has had an interesting year. Little Joseph Edward Davis of Hastings, on the right, was the recipient of 8150 worth of gifts as the first child to be bom in the cowty in the New Year. Now he's trying his best to walk, his mother reports, adding that the family is looking forward to celebrating his very first birthday on January 2. When 1981 concludes this week, Joseph will end hto reign and another new baby will enter the limelight and be showered with gifts from Barry County merchants. Who will be the first baby of 1982? Only time will tell but the gifts have already been selected for the big event. Prizes for the first baby of 1982, who must be born in Barry County to parents of county residents, include gift certificates from several stores, clothing, baby books, a silver cup a savings account, shoes, a ring, a vaporizer, a miniature portrait, flowers for mom, a Christmas Club account, a free hair cut for mom or dad, and a pair of slippers and a nightgown for mom. Details of the 1982 contest may be foimd on page five of this issue of the Banner. A state arbitrator will decide who's in charge at the Hastings Police Department after darkness. A grievance filed by the police union. Teamsters Local 129, in July came to light, Monday night, when the Hastings City Council appointed Mayor Pro-tem William Cook to serve on the arbitration panel presenting the city's case. The grievance claims that the city is violating its contract by giving priority to reserve (volunteer) officers in two-man cars at night instead of allowing the supervising sergeant to decide whether to assign a reserve or full-time officer as the second man in a car. The issue as Police Chief Mark G. Steinfort sees it is who is in command on a shift. “There is only one thing in arbitration," Steinfort says, “the definition of a command rfficer. The city is saying that it is the chief and deputy chief, but the bargaining unit (the union) is saying the command officer is the sergeant." Under the union's old contract, which expired in June 1980, only two full-time of­ ficers could be assigned toa car at night.

"If the commanding officer determines it is necessary to assign two employees to a patrol car, he may assign a part-time or reserve officer to ride with a regular officer, or assign two regular officers to patrol," the contract reads. Both sides agree that the issue to be decided is whether the sergeant on duty can make that decision, or whether he has to follow a general order issued by Steinfort in July which requires that reserve officers be assigned as the second man in a car before full-time officers. "They are saying that there are only two command officers.” union steward Al Stanton explains, “the chief and the deputy chief....The guys working the shift ought to be able to decide. The sergeant is the shift commander." Sergeants are members of the bargaining unit.

Steinfort's order, issued while he was deputy chief, came out shortly after the contract was signed. "The supervisor knows what’s going on in the streets,” Stanton contends. "The sergeant on the shift has a lot better idea of what’s going on downtown that the chief or deputy chief who is home in bed." Stanton, also says that he believes that regular officers have lost a lot of. overtime pay because of the use of reserve officers at night. Several hearings have been set for the arbitration session, but have been cancelled. The city has hired a Kalamazoo Labor attorney, Michael Ward, to present its case. A Kalamazoo native, he graduated from Western Michigan University in June of 1981 with a bachelor’s degree in marketing. He is a 1974 graduate of Kalamazoo Central High School. An Eagle Scout at age 15, he was a scout member for seven years. Twice he stayed at the Philmont National Scout Ranch in New Mexico and he attended the National Scout Jamboree in Idaho in 1973. Prior to being named district executive, he was employed at a scout camp in Port Huron. Lake is married to the former Janet Bost of Gull Lake. Lake said that Barry County has been made into its own scout district Working as district chairman is Al Reichard of Freeport District commissioner to Foes White of Hastings. Lake is currently seeking volunteers for the district council. He needs both chairmen and members of finance, memharahip, program, training, advancement and publicity committees. He said that plans are underway for a scout show in Hastings on May 1, where all troops and packs in the area will have booths and displays. The location of the show has not yet been set.

State St...Hastings Two Hastings businessmen are sponsoring a dance as part of their January fund drive for the new dive truck and equipment for the dive team for the Barry County Sheriffs Department. Gary Birman, owner of Gary's Wrecking Service and Mike Hawthorne, owner of URent-Em Canoe, are planning a dance and a bingo game as part of the fundkaising drive. Leroy Lumbert's band will be donating its entertainment at the dance scheduled ten­ tatively for Jan. 23. at the Community Building, according to Birman and Barry County Sheriff David Wood. No time has been set for the dance, for which the tickets cost 85 per couple. The bingo game, for which no date has been set, will also take plgce in the Com­ munity Building. The goal for the drive is 18,000. “But we fed that we're going to exceed this,*' Birman said. Birman and Wood have already reported donations totalling 81470, not including the 82,000 allocation from the Barry County Budget approved by the Board of Com­ missioners and the 850 donations from three county commissioners last week.

Extended eligibility for certain training programs was included in the Veterans’ Health Care. Training and Small Business Loan Act of 1981 signed into law by the President November 3. The extension period, which opens January 1 and runs through December 31. applies to educationally disadvantaged or unskilled Vietnam-era veterans who allowed their 10year delimiting date to expire before using all their entitlement for educational training. Eligible veterans may use their remaining entitlement to obtain a high school diploma, or its equivalent, or pursue a program of apprenticeship, other on-the-job training or a program with a vocational objective. Enrollment in college degree, flight or correspondence courses is not included in the extension. Veterans who have already earned college degrees are ineligible for the extension.

As of four o’clock Monday afternoon. Dec. 27, we are back in business and if all goes well we hope to present our many readers with the West Woodland News "as usual” for a long time to come. We appreciate all the 32 calls that we received from the readers to check on the reason for "no items ”, even to the one lady who said she had been watching the papers for my obituary. 1 hope to delay that affair as long as I can. I got a late start on my calling today so 1 may have missed some of you this week but I’ll try to do better next week. I didn’t get to wish you a "Merry Christmas" but I’ll wish every one of you a "Happy and Prosperous New Year" from the bottom of my heart.

Cheryl, of rural Hastings, and Mr. Red Cross aiding search for former POW’s Through the American Red Cross, the Veterans Administration is trying to locate former POWs eligible for expanded VA benefits under a new federal law Under the "Former Prisoner of War Benefits Act of 1981", eligibility for various VA entitlements has been expanded for former POWs of any era. accord'ng to Barbara Walker, public relations chair­ person for the Barry County Red Cross. Walker said the minimum incarceration period requirement for POWs has been reduced to 30 days. Prior to the new legislation, the minimum requirement was six months. In addition, the VA will now presume for lormer POWs that certain disabilities resulting from malnutrition were serviceconnected. even though a veteran’s military­ record might not reflect a connection bet­ ween the disability and his military service. Service-connected benefits are now allowed for psychosis and anxiety states regardless of when first shown, unless the specific mental illness can be clearly at­ tributed to another cause. The legislation also mandates that former POWs are to be provided both inpatient and outpatient medical treatment on a priority basis. The VA has asked the Red Cross to utilize its network of nationwide chapters to identify former POWs in their communities and refer those veterans to the VA for followup com­ munication. Former POWs of any era m the BarryCounty area should contact the Barry County Red Cross at 945-3122.

Vial of Life programs have been sponsored over the years in many areas of Michigan, as well as the country since the first program in Monroe County. Michigan. There are two objectives to the current drive. First, the organizations want to get individuals to look through their medicine cabinests and any other place they may keep medications Once this has been done, they can check with their family pharmacist to see which medications are outdated and dispose of those medications This is an excellent op­ portunity for the individual to review with his or her pharmacist all the medications currently being taken including over the counter medications < preparations that can be purchased without a prescription' Getting rid of old unused medications also lessens the opportunity for confusion, especially for those individuals who are taking a number of medicines on a regular basis The second objective is to consolidate al! medication information and the per­ tinent medical history, such Holiday surge in youth runaways expected The traditional hohdav season is not always a time of joy — for some youth, it is .he climax of a simmering family crisis that prompts them to runaway from home Nationally, more than a million young people run away from home each vear The National Center for L'.S Department of Public Health has estimated that at least one in every 10 children between ages 12 and 17 leaves home at some lime, m Michigan, estimates are that at least 10.000 youngsters a year need help because (hey have run away from home, or are considering it They are cold, hungry and lost — perhaps in rnanv ways. Barbara Morton, program director of RAP LINE — a 24-hour, toll-free assistance center for displaced youngsters, says she and her staff of counselors expect a surge in contacts from kids who have runaway from home during or soon after Christmas’- New Year’s Day break Local runaway shelters deal with their heaviest caseloads during the first two weeks of January. "For some children, this is the time when abuse or neglect problems reach a crisis because they are stuck in the home with the other family members for several days and have no escape, such as school." Morion explained. The RAP LINE number is 1-800-292-45:7. At least one of 14 staff counselors is on hand at all times to la Ik to youth, parents, friends or other persons involved in or aware of family crises The toll-free help is available for virtually anyone in Michigan, the first state to offer such a service. There are also two national hotlines, one in Houston and the other in Chicago. A recent 20 percent budget cut limits funding to a $131,000 federal grant from the Office of Criminal Justice, and the Juvenile Delinquency and Prevention Act, ad­ ministered through the Michigan Depart­ ment of Social Services. The program was started June 15. Since then, about 500 calls have been handled by the RAP LINE staff at an average of about four per day It is located in East Lansing near "Equal Ground", one of 22 local runaway shelters and counseling centers scattered around the state from Detroit to Escanaba. The average age of a runaway child in the U.S. is 15 years old. The average time the children are away from home is from three to four days — some youngsters return home almost immediately, though, and some never return home. “The more often a young person runs and the longer he or she is gone, the less likely it is that the child will return home." Morton said. Runaway programs in Michigan do not aid in the break-up of families, she said. Although the first priority is to protect the child, the next goal is to work toward reconciliation "In Michigan, runaway programs have succeeded in returning about 85 percent of the young people with whom they work to their homes," Morton said. "Of the remaining 15 percent, many are running from homes that are less safe for them than the streets.” Surprisingly, she said, the RAP LINE receives very few crank calls. Also in­ teresting is the fact that about 40 percent of their contacts are from parents looking for their children, or from other adults such as friends of the family or school counselors who are worried about conflict in a family they know The rest of the calls have come from youngsters who are either thinking about running away, or who have already left their homes. "We have gotten a lot of calls from kids who are potential runaways — they are unhappy with their situations at home because of emotional stress, actual abuse or perhaps because a divorce is pending." Morton said. “They want to leave home becasue they don’t fed they can cope with the situation, but they call us to see if there are any Hastings man gets diploma from LCC A Hastings. Michigan man was among the graduates of the Truck Driver Training Program at Lansing Community College. Completing the complex, four week course of instruction, was Bruce E Blankenship. 636 East Clinton, Hastings, who passed an ex­ tensive road trip in excess of one thousand miles in addition to forty hours of classroom instruction A certificate of completion was awarded in addition to the D O. T Certification at ceremonies on December 18. 1981 at the Fort Custer facility near Battle Creek alternatives If they cant’ find a way to resolve or cope with the problem at home, ue can tell them where shelter and counsling is available "Some calls come from kids who have run already and they need food, shelter and support We try to help them with their immediate needs by referring them to the local runaway shelter closest to them "Adults also call us whose children have run. or who know about a child being abused and wants to find out what can be done to help the kid and the family." Morton said all calls and the whereabouts of runaway children are kept confidential unless the caller wants to have a message relayed to another person. "We try to get communications going again." shesaid "But we also tell the people who call about the state Protective Services program and that we are required by the Child Protection act to report suspected abuse or neglect if we have detailed in­ formation. Often the caller won’t give us identifying information. "We sugg/'st other resources to kids who might be able to help, such as school coun­ selors, ministers or priests, grandparents or another close relative with whom they might feel free to talk " Morton said that the ideal solution she and her staff seek is to learn about family problems before they reach a crisis, and to provide couseling and guidance for the entire family before a child runs away from home. But when they are forced to choose, the Runaway Assistance Program <RAP) staff advocate for the children "Adults usually have more alternatives available to them," she explained. "And for children, adolescence is a natural time for conflict within the family. The adolescent child is beginning to look like an adult, so they are sometimes ignored. But adolescents still have a lot of physical and emotional needs." Morton emphasized that child abuse and neglect are not limited to "poor" families, a myth that is refuted by DSS Protective Services statistics that show more than half of the substantiated reports of abuse or neglect occurring in " middle-class" or "well-off" homes. "Some kids, of course, are running away just to see if they're still wanted." Morton said. "But others really have horrible home situations and it may be the best thing for these children to get away until a solution can be found. "I don't believe that a bad home «« better than no home. The child who is forced to remain in an abuseive home often in­ ternalizes this-begins to feel that they must deserve it (the bad home) because they are kept there. "I think efforts should definitely be made tn see if the problem can tie corrected, but studies have shown that abusive adults were often abused as children. And most abusive adults don't see their actions as abuse. "The underlying theory of keeping kids in the home at all cost is that a family is the best place for the child. That is true only if it's a good family where basic physical and emotional needs are being met, where kids are getting a positive sense of themselvesthat they are a good person, that they are wanted, that they deserve to be treated with respect, care for, listened to. and to have limits set for them but not to be physically or emotionally abused." "If it's not going to work, then that should be acknowledged. There’s no use preten­ ding." Morton said. "That’s why we try to help the youth” Marriage Licenses: Timothy Johnson.

Wood said that the decrease might be due to the fact that the Sheriff’s Department used state aid monies to increase the number nf road patrol people during that period of lime. ■Some people blame the economy since less people are travelling, hut I would like to think that it« the increase in road patrollers) had somthing to do with it". Wood said. Wood added that there have been seven traffic fatalities through October of 1981 compared to eight October of 1980. "Fatalities are spread all over the County. on all types of roads, 'during* all kinds of weather." Wood said "It's not like Oakland and Wayne Counties where fatalities occur at certain intersections.” "We don’t have those kinds of accidents." he said. This holds true for other traffic accidents, we couldn't find a particular stretch of road where accidents occur. Wood said The fact that Barry County has a lot of hilly,curvy county roads could contribute to the problem. He added. Wood said that the only actual pattern that occurs is in car-deer accidents, of which about 500 occur each year In surrounding counties. Kent County had 72 traffic fatalities in 1980 compared to in 1979. Eaton County. 19 in 1980 and 23 tn 1979. Calhoun County. 32 in 1980 and 28 in 1979. Ionia. 16 in 1980 and 22 in 1979; and Allegan County had 27 deaths during both years The states traffic death toll in 1980 reflected the lowest number of fatalities in seventeen years, according to the state police report Traffic accidents claimed 1774 victims Factors influencing the lower state traffic death toll in 1980 were felt to include the lower speed limit, a slower-paced economy in some sectors, some labor unrest in areas affecting motor vehicle transport, operating costs of motor vehicles, and the on-going traffic safety efforts of ponce and other agencies, the report said. "We seem to follow the --tate and nations' trend showing that at least 50 percent of the fatalities involve alcohol. Wood said The Michigan Department of State Police reported 1.632 statewide traffic accidents in Barry County during 1980. of all accidents. 11 were fatal. 613 people were injured. 1.188 involved property damage, and 522 occurred on state roads fatal traffic accidents decreased in Barry County each year since 1976 The report shows 18 deaths in 1976. '6 in 1977. 14 in 1978. 12 in 1979 and 11 in 1980 According to Sheriff Wood, traffic fatalities do not follow a particular pattern Area Realtors meet The Barry-Eaton Board of Realtors were represented at a recent meeting sponsored by the Michigan Association of Realtors. Janet Green, president; Cathy Williamson, vice president; Joe Andrews, secretary­ treasurer. and E. Paul Johnson, public relations chairman, attended a day-long workshop. The workshop was held at Long's Con­ vention Center. Lansing, Mich., December 14. 1981. The purpose of the workshop was. primarily, a training session for the Realtor board officers so that they might more ef­ fectively serve their members and thereby help their members better serve their real estate clients.

The Polish Red Cross has responsibility for approximately 50,000 low income, aged and handicapped persons and over 20,000 children below 10 years of age from families with social pi ablems and handicaps. Due to the urgency of requests and high cost of transportation, the Red Cross is asking all donations be in the form of financial assistance These funds will be transferred to the International Red Cross for immediate purchase of food, clothing, blankeisand medical needs for specific Red Cross Emergency Shelters in seven Polish cities for distribution to individuals and recognized humanitarian institutions.

Krosno Retail grocery prices will rise six percent Most people should be able toeat at home a little cheaper during 1982 than they did in 1981. "An overall increase in grocery store prices of six percent is most likely," says Mary Zehner. Michigan State University Cooperative Extension Service agricultural economist This is the lowest rise since double digit increases in 1978 and 1979 and is about two percent lower than the retail rise seen last in 1981. Zehner attributes the expected 1982 in­ crease primarily to more expensive retail operations, higher costs for energy, tran­ sportation and packaging. Only nominal price increases are expected for farm-level and crude foodstuff prices, with the exception of pork products which may reach double-digit levels. This rise is primarily due to an expected cutback in hog production which L a farmer reaction to economic losses sustained in 1981. Little or no price increase in expected during the next year for fresh vegetables. Items which may increase from two to six percent above 1981 prices include such items as sugar and sweets, fats and oils, dairy products, eggs and poultry meal. Beef and veal, fish and seafood, processed vegetables and fruits, fresh fruits, cereals and bakery products are forecast to rise 5 to 10 percent over the next year Presbyterian women install new officers A group of Presbyterian women took time out from holiday time to gather in the church dining room on December 16 to have a Christmas carol sing-along, with Hazel Brown at the piano Before this, their pastor, the Rev Willard Curtis, conducted an installation service for four women who are to take office in the Womens Association in January. 1982: President.

We have to get this assistance for them right away It will take too long for canned foods, etc. All con­ tributions should be made to The American Red Cross' and be sure to mark your check for ‘Polish Emergency Relief’.” “We know our country and in particular our state and county is suffering unusual high unemployment and poverty but nothing like these people", she continued. "They’re losing their attempt at some degree of freedom and human dignity, and the first to suffer are the elderly and children. We’re asking everyone-families, churches, organizations and just anyone to give money no matter how small an amount. It all adds up." 133 CHOICES FOR MICHIGAN'S WINTER CAMPERS �The Hastings Banner. Thursday. Decemt>er 31.1981 - Page 9 Nows the time to review your personal finances Since October, tax dollars have been put back into your pocket due to the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981 To benefit more fully from these new tax provisions, lay out a financial plan for next year that L-.kes these changes into account First, determine your net worth List your assets and liabilities Assets include income, real estate, savings and checking accounts, bonds and certificates, stock holdings, home furnishings, clothing and autos or boats Under liabilities list your debts, including loan payments, taxes due. and rent or mortgage payments. Subtract your liabilities from your assets to net worth. Once you have figured your net worth, set up a realistic budget for the first quarter of 1982 Add up what you spent last quarter on necessities, such as food, clothing, tran­ sportation and utility bills. Now decide where you overspent on any items and should cut down, and what areas will require more money in the coming quarter To reassess your 1981 financial plan, review your spending and compare it with your old budget to see if any areas were under or over budgeted For example, were you continually borrowing from your food noney or savings to pay for clothing? Was this erroneous planning or extravagance on your part’ If you had justification for borrowing funds from one area to another, be sure to adjust your next quarter budget Some expenses will definitely increase Did you refrain from buying ciothing last quarter to buy more when January sales start? If so. include this in your clothing budget Allow for your spending impulses as well as your savings allotment in your next quarter budget Your budget should reflect the com­ bination of last quarter's spending and this quarter's needs However, if you make allowances in one category or take ad­ vantage of sales or special circumstances, return to your original budget after the sale If you continue to make allowances and never make up the difference, you may soon find yourself falling behind in your savings or living beyond your means Now take budgeting one step further and plan how to invest your savings If you don't have $10,000 to invest in a certificate of deposit, or even enough to buy stock, you might want to save toward a tax-exempt all­ saver certificate These can be bought for as little as $500 and offer tax-exempt interest up to $1,000 in your lifetime or $2,000 on a joint return All-savers, however, may not provide the highest yield for people below the 30 percent tax bracket Compare investment yieldsand tax savings before deciding where to put your money Set up your goals for 1982 and longer to determine how much you want to save during the year and to determine what you I IW I | .viw| I VtAR I need savings for Be sure to budget for any expected rent or mortgage increases, tuition raises or ever retirement planning Finally, review the assets included in your net worth If you have several tax shelters for unearned income, you might want to re-evaluate your investments Louer taxes on unearned in­ come. 50 percent instead of 70 percent, and 20 percent on capital gains, might make your tax shelters less necessary One suggestion is to open an individual retirement account or. for the ..elf-employed, a Keogh account which can offer the chance to save toward retirement and deposit up to $2,000 in an IRA or $15,000 in a Keogh account yearly. The principal is lax-deductible and the interest exempt until one begins to with­ draw the money - then it is taxed < Editor's note: This Is the third article of a four part series prepared by the Michigan Association of Certified Public Accountants dealing with money management.!

South Dakota, but the investigation involved activities extending to Wyoming, Illinois, Ohio, North Dakota. Nebraska, Minnesota, and California.

A number of the suspects were charged with illegally taking and selling or pur­ chasing deer. elk. antelope, and deer and elk antlers.

The New Year resolutions of a bonafied sports nut Funk A Wagnails Standard Desk Dictionary says that sport is •• that •wh’ch amuses in general; diversion: past time. A particular game or play pursued lor diversion... Funk and Wags do not have a definition for sports nut. But if they did, I beleive it would say something like, "one who goes beyond the diversion of sport and becomes totally wrapped up in the game, any game, anytime, anywhere In other words, the kind of guy who thinks the Astro-Blue Bonnet bowl means something." For those of you who suffer from sports nutitis, I have collected a set of New Year's Resolutions you should consider adopting. Snowmobilers will be just o port of the sports enthusiasts taking port in the Gun Lake Winter Festival, Jan. 30. Cross country skiing, ice skating and Ice fishing ore port of other events being sponsored by the Gun Lake Business Association. Gun Lake area plans winter sports festival One of West Michigan’s favorite summer sports spots will be the sight of a winter sports festival in late January. The 90 miles of shoreline on Gun Lake will bustle with the activity of a Winter Festival on Jan. 30, featuring snowmobiling, cross­ country skiing and ice fishing. The festival will mark the first time in history that Gun Lake, the center of the Yankee Springs Recreation Area, holds activities for winter sports enthusiasts, a press release from the Gun Lake Business Association announced this week. Activities will take place at both ends of the lake On the north end, near the Yankee Springs State park entrance, three trails will be designated for cross country ski races. Skiers can select which trail to run ac­ cording to their skill levels—beginner (3-K), intermediate (5-K), and advanced (10-K). The 5-K and 10-K trails will wind through the Yankee Springs Game Reserve which is adjacent to the Recreation Area. Yankee Springs Recreation Manager Kyle Converse and other rangers will be on hand the day of the festival to assist with safety and security. The park will plow more than 100 parking spaces at the Long Lake Outdoor center, where the ski races begin, andwinter campsites for self-contained vehicles will be available in the Stale Park complex. Entry fees to the State Park are $2 for a day permit, or 110 for a pass good through all of 1962. All entrants in the ski events will receive a Gun Lake Winter Festival jacket-patch, according to Ski Committee Chairperson Liz Chlebana. Medals will be awarded to more than 40 competitors in more than a dozen classifications. Ski registration begins at 10 a.m. at the Avalon Restaurant which is located near the State Park entrance. Races begin at 1 p.m Entry forms are also available al many area skis shops. Registration costs are $6 for adults. $5 for pre-registration, and $1 for children 'under 12. For more information on the ski competition. Mrs. Chlebana can be reached at 795-7130 The rest of the lake will be buzzing with simultaneous competitions for snowmobilers. ice fishermen, skaters and snow sculpturers. Tip-up fishermen will get a chance tc seek out “(hat big one" starting at noon Friday, Jan. 29 until Saturday at noon. Cash prizes will be offered for the largest fish in six categories The categories are Northern Pike. Blue Gills, Perch, Crappie, Walleye Pike and Muskeiunge. Pre-registration is necessary, forms are available at most Gun Lake businesses and area sporting good stores. Theentry fee is Si. Official weigh-in stations will be located at Gillete's Hardware, Marsh Road, Gun Lake Bait Shop and Chief Noonday Road. Snowmobilers will gather at the southwest side of the lake for day-long competiton in age and class categories. Registration begins al 9 a.m. on Jan. 30, at Matteson's Marina and England Point. Cash prizes will be awarded and the first race gets underway al 11 a.m Informal ice skating races for youngsters will be held throughout the day, and a hockey game will be organized. Other events include parachute rides pulled by a snowmobile, games and prizes for kids, a hot air balloon ascension and the crowning of the festival's king, queen, prince and princess. In addition to winter campsites in the State Park, commercial campsites will also be available. Food concessions will be available and a special dinner is being planned for the evening of the festival. A dance for the evening is also in the planning stages. "We have the feeling that once the Gun lake Festival becomes well known, it will be an annual event winter enthusiasts won't want to miss." Mike O’Brien, president of lhe Business Association said. “There will be something going on for lhe entire family." For information call 616-792-2028 or 616-6725204 Winter campers can choose from 133 Michigan sites — If Mother Nature cooperates by liberally dusting the state with snow and if the economy picks up, Michigan's 133 cam­ pgrounds could log the best winter business since 1978, according to the Automobile Club of Michigan. A successful year by winter campgrounds depends on how much they are used by snowmobilers and cross-country and downhill skiers." explained James Drury, Au.j Club’s Travel Operations manager “Winter sports enthusiasts make up some 70 percent of campground customers from December through March. 'Michigan's ailing economy apparently has been taking its toll on private cam­ pground business," said Drury "Half of the operators we surveyed recorded an average 7 percent drop in business last winter compared to the previous year. Seventeen percent reported a business upswing and 10 percent of the operators reported no change." Only five of the 71 private campgrounds surveyed filled at least once last winter. The Michigan Association of Private Campground Owners (MAPCO) reports that 1981 has been a record year for private campground operators nationally. Auto Club's 1981-82 winter campground guide lists 62 stale parks and 71 private facilities. The average daily cost for Michigan's private campground, increased $1.23 in the last year to $7.63 Rates this winter range from $4 to $15. Fifty-one private campgrounds will welcome wintertime campers with snowmobile trails either on or near their property Rental snowmobiles are available at four facilities. Thirty-three have cross-country trails either adjacent to or on campground property Cross-county ski equipment is offered for rent at four parks. To help eliminate the expense and worry of hauling trailers on snow covered and slip­ pery roads. 60 parks offer winter storage and 15 have trailers for rent Several outings geared to attract outdoor winter enthusiasts are scheduled at or near Michigan private campgrounds. — I will not get mad at the referee. I must accept they don't know any better. They are just a bunch of zebras anyway. — I will not try to get the high school coach fired because my son does not play. 1 can't get the kid to clean his room, why should I expect the coach to be able to do anything with him. — I will not let Sparky Anderson convince me the Tigers have a chance. They don't have a good left handed pitcher or a right handed power hitter. Remind me to ignore the amount of hits that Kirk Gibson collects. — I will not get fired up over the Lions. My wife still holds a grudge because 1 kicked in the television screen when they lost to Tampa Bay. In addition, when she drops something, I have to quit yelling “Freddie Scott! Freddie Scott!". — I will not ignore the Pistons any longer. They are actually winning games. I admit it would be easier if Kelly Tripucka’s teeth didn't look like a picket fence. — 1 will tell my wife I'm sorry for telling her the hotdogs at Wings Stadium in Kalmazoo are better than any meal she can make. The statement was made in poor judgement after the Wings had lost two games straight. — I will try to hide my smi>e that lasts all day when Michigan loses a football game. 1 must try to forget that I am a Spartan. — I will refrain from making jokes about Muddy Water's name. I still think they should call him Mississippi — 1 will participate in a fan strike against baseball if someone starts one. If they can strike sn can we. I want a say in all trades and the kind of beer served in the concession stands — I will quit dreaming the Bird will make a comeback. 1 also have to quit talking to Lhe ball and brushing off the mound during my slo-pitch softball games — I will promise my wife that 1 will not ridicule her soap operas. In exchange however. 1 want all TV rights on the World Series and no complai nts f rom tier side of the room. — I will not stay up until 2 p m to catch a rerun of the Chicago Cub games on cable television. Especially on nights before we leave early to visit her mother. — 1 will cancel a few of my sports magazines subscriptions. 1 never read "Bumper Pool Highlights" anyway. In fact. 1 really only need to get seven or eight that deal with each of my favorite sports — 1 will quit making my four year old daughter do tackling drills and shoot baskets at least an hour each day. I will cut it to 45 minutes each day. 1 guess it should be her decision whether she wants to be a star or a scrub that sits on lhe bench all the time, never plays and embarasses her father. — I will quit betting six packs of beer on athletic events. This year alone. I lost 432 cans of beer. 1 don't know how much money that means, but I know I lost a lot of gusto. — I will quit trying to explain to my wife who Marv Throneberry is. 1 will just hand the baseball dictionary to her and have her look it up. I still find it hard to beleive she gets Marv and Rodney Dangerfield mixed up. I gel no respect. — I will not name our next child after a ball player or coach, but 1 think Vince Lombardi is a great name for a hamster —■ I will quit introducing myself as "Magic Johnson" when I meet new people. Besides. !*m tired of people asking me how I started my career as a magician, and what circus I am with. Banner Classifieds: To place your Classified - Call 948-8051 M.MI. -■WWWIOw VWWUvS .

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.
