Not only is Scott alive, but as far as doc­ tor's can determine he suffered no brain damage during the life threatening crisis, said Mrs Smith. Now tha. the youngster is home "I see no difference in him only that he gets fatigued easily but doctors said he would for awhile. Scott "has no memory loss anu he knows his numbers, colors, the names of his friends and all the other thing* he has learned.” she said. The only thing3cott doesn't remember is th? day of the accident, Mrs. Smith added. “H’ doesn’t remember anything about it." But. Mrs Smith and her husband will neve: forget December 14 and say they will be forever grateful to all those who played a role in saving their son’s Ufe. The revival of the lad unfolded in a twopart dran-a that involved team work which began in Barry County and concluded in Kalsmaico County, Scott is alive today because of the initial rescue el orts and skilled life-saving and medical techniques that were implemented by emergency personnel in the Hastings area Significant roles were played by the dive team 4from the “ • — Barry County Sheriff’s the Hastings Ambulance Departm ;nt, I personnel doctors, nurses, and other staff members at Pennock Hospital.

Barry Counly Sheriffs Department to the scene and alerting other emergency units to do the same. “It just clicked. Everything went right — everybody did their part. Nobody could have done it alone," said Sgt. Gerald Smith of the Barry County Sheriff’s Department who was the first to perform cardio pulmonary resusitation (CPR) on Scott who had wan­ dered out on thin ice while playing by his home Sgt. Smith was waiting on the shoreline to begin performing CPR immediately after Detective Gerald Luedecking dove into the lake and brought Scott out of the water. Beginning CPR immediately is crucially important to start oxygen rushing through the brain to minimize brain damage. Smith said After Smith’s initial efforts at CPR, he and two others continued CPR on Scott. Con­ tributing were Gary Sunior of the Sheriff’s Department and Ron Boyer, the county’s only paramedic, of the Hastings Ambulance Service. “I never left him until we got into the emergency room," Smith said. CPR was continued while we were strapping him on the backboard to put him in tlie ambulance and CPR was continued while we were walking up the hill (to the ambulance).” ' "The emergency room crew was tremendous., they knew exactly what they had to do,” said Sgt. Smith. Boyer agrees with Smith’s feelings abou* the superb role that many people played in saving Scott's life. “It wasn't one person, it was a team ef­ fort.” Boyer said. “If the dive team didn't get him out I would have had nolliing to work with, if I didn’t do my job, Dr. (Brian) Hastings, Michigan Vol. 127. No. 1 Swanton (of Pennock Hospital) wouldn't have had anything to work with, if Dr. Swanton and the nurses didn't do their job, Bronson would not have had anything to work with. “Everyone" down the line had to do the job," Boyer said. "Without the team work and structure, Scott wouldn't have made it.” Boyer said it took the ambulance just 16 minutes from the lime it received the call to get the child to the emergency room. When Scott first arrived at Pennock he hau “little or no chance for survival," said Dr. Swanton who was on duty that day in the emergency room and was the first doctor to begin treating Scott. Dr. Swanton calls the youngster’s ultimate recovery "fairly miraculous.' "By ali standards, Scott was initially and totally neurologically dead,” he said. in praise of Swanton, Boyer said, “if you could have seen his face you would have thought the child was his.” Scott was not breathing and no pulse rate could be detected when he first arrived at the emergency room. Attempts to revive him proved to be an “‘on again — off again or­ deal.” Resusitation efforts were continued by placing a tube in his airway so breathing could be done for him while his heart was pumped by pushing on his chest. Appropriate medication and drugs were administered and about 10-15 minutes after arriving in the emergency room, Dr. Swanton said, “we got a heart beat.” Howev t there was still no blood pressure. More drugs were administered and a faint pulse was detected, but the heart rate was lost A defibrillator was used to give Scott’s heart an electric shock and his heart started beating again. However the beat was lost and another shock was given...it was an on again off again situation. Eventually Scott did start breathing again and approximately 45 minutes after he had arrived at Pennock he was enroute to Bronson Hospital in Kalamazoo. At Pennock, “a whole complement of people" were involved in treating Scott inuding his personal physician Dr. James Continued on page 3 Thursday, January 7,1982 Date may change to May 10th One-issue ballot likely for millage election by Liz Kingsbury It appears a one-issue package is the most likely design for a March 15, proposed millage election However that date may be changed to May 10, at the next school board meeting. The Hastings Area Board of Education and most people attending thv special work session, Monday night, agreed a one-issue ballot, levying up to 55 mills tor oporatida for the next two years of 1982-83 and 1983-84, was the best ballot design Some members of the audience felt that a ballot itemizing the issues would guarantee the success of at least some of the oudget items. “As an athletic booster, if you were to (levy) .9 mills for athletics and 4.5 for the rest, then it would be best for athletics,"said Dr. James Atkinson. Another member of the audience suggested that the Board itemize the issues, otherwise the whole package won’t pass. Richard Groes, treasurer of the school board, asked"How do you determine what is more important?" When] we start fragmenting things it will have a negative effect on the child," said Miriam iSorby, president of the Hastings Education Association. Dr. Wiliam Baxter, Board member, said that separating issues would create factions. “If we (start polarizing our friends; we wifi be short;allies,” he said. “And we need all the allied we can get.” Board (member. William Cotant said, “If we ooiarize factions, thae would be v ar." Richard Groos commented that the date of the proposed millage election, March 15, wculd ccnlribute to defeat because it is such a gloomy time of year. Michael Trahan said that maybe March 15 is tuo soon to hold the election The school board voted to hold the election on March 15 at their last meeting for two reasons. First, because it was before income tax day: secondly,if the millage failed, there would be, time to hold a second election while school is still in session. John Warren suggested holding the election I at the same J me of the school election.! June 14. to give people lime to realize the effects of the cuts. Superintendent Richard J. Guenther recommended that the board reconsider the May 10, millage election date. During the informal work session, Richard J. Guenther gave a presentation on how the Board of Education ar rived at the 5.5 millage figure. “In preparing these millage figures, we have to deal with a lot of unknowns," Guenther said. "This is the sixteenth millage since 1959 for operation and we are dealing with the greatest number of unknowns we ever have.” The first unknown, he said, is whether the State of Michigan's economy will turn around. "(This) has a serious effect on voter at­ titudes," Guenther said “The second is the possioility of an ad­ ditional governor’s executive order for more budget reductions," he continued." We have living education at the MSU Cooperative Extension Service in East lensing. Her last day at the Barry County Ex­ tension, where she has worked for a total of seven ybars, office will be Feb. 26. “We’iie hopefii that nr. position will be filled by the university by March 1," Mrs. Richardson said. The position of director of the county cooperative extension is filled by MSU, though candidates for the position are subject to approval by the Barry County Board of Commissioners, Mrs. Richardson said. Of her decision to take the job in East Lansing, she said, “It was difficult for me to leave. ” “I e.-.joy working with people in Barry County^but I decided that this was the thing to do at this point in my life," Mrs. Richardson said. Since Mrs. Richardson and her husband, Bart, an energy consultant for Consumer's Power, have a 10-year-old son, Ben, at Centra^ School, she will probably commute for a long time. The Richardsons live on 1820 Heath Rd. Mrs.r Richardson received her bachelor’s degree in institutional administration at MSU in 1962. She worked as a home economist for consumers power for 13 years before -becoming a home economist for the county extension service Mrs.Richardson received her masters degree in family and child studies at her alma mater in December of 1980, Continued on page 5 Ray Waters, former local businessman, dies at 90 Doris Richardson to take position at Michigan State Doris Richardson, who has served as director of the barry County Cooperative Extension Service for five years, will be taking a position with Michigan State University. Mrs. Richardson, already an employee of MSU. will be a program leader in family already had one executive order, a veiy modest one, and we should expect a second one within two or three months. The third is how much will the state fund schools In die ensuing fiscal year?" Guenther said that the fourth unknown is the extent of the schools’ defecit. “The decline in the number of pupils in day school and adult education are contributing .to the defecit,’’ Guenther said. ■ "We are dealing with some guesses," be Said. "In years pine by, we could quite ac­ curately guess these figures, but with the stale of the economy, we cannot." Guenther pointed out the sources of income for the schcal district In local receipts, the schools receive $3335,818 from its present millage, 26.51 mills, multiplied by the state equalized value (SEV) of the local district. Guenther noted Ray E. Waters, 90. a former downtown Hastings merchant, died Sunday, Jan. 3. at the Barry County Medical Care Facility. He had lived at C30 S. Hanover SL, Hastings.

January 7, 1982 - Page 2 West Woodland News by Victor Sisson t hought for the Week: Did you hear that the astronauts found seme bones on the moon? I guess the cow didn't make it, after all. As we stirl our tetter thin Monday forenoon, the air is (ull of snow and a strong March wind tells us what is possible for the near future We may be snowed in again tomorrow for the second time this winter. Last week, *e were snowed in over the weekerxl and a Good Samaritan neighbor, plowed us out on Tuesday afternoon just in time for us to dash into Hastings with our letter, just in time for us to boat the deadline. We surely appreciate that neighbor. Had the storm that struck here after midnight last night been snow <nstead of rain, we know we would be snowed in. As it is. there was a lot of rain and the pond in the wheat field south of our hou-se is the largest we ever remember seeing there. The winter is young yet and it remains to be seen what is ahead for us. George SchaiHy entertained 22 members of his family with a New Year's Eve gettogether at his home last Thursday evening.

Mr. and Mrs. Leon Hynes of Lake Odessa. A number of the churciies in this part of Michigan dispensed with their services Sunday morning due to the very icy condition of the roads. Some reported that they could not get io their usual place of worship because of the ice and took this as an oc­ casion to visit a nearby church on more acceptable roads. This is commendable. Among th»: local churches closed was the Woodland United Methodist Church and the Welcome Comers Church. We understand that the pastor of these churches, Rev. Constance Heffelfinger, had been visiting her parents in a neighboring state and was not able to get back due to the weather and road conditions.

Several of them were able to make it part way on the ice, then had to back clear to M-43 then went on east. Some of them made it all right because there was plenty of traffic past our house. Last Tuesday afternoon, James Hostetter drove over to Mason and brought his mother, Mrs. Edna Hostetler, back home with him. On Wednesday, Mr. and Mrs. Hostetler took his mother to visit an uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Ottis Hostetler of Goshen, Ind.

We understand that one of the Lakewood school buses slid off the road and into the ditch on Baine Road Monday morning. It was necessary to dispatchanother bus to take the youngsters to school and extra help was required to get f be first one back on the road. The side roads were extremely slippery and the wind blown snow did not make visability all one could desire, either. Mrs. Roy Norton celebrated another birth­ day last Wednesday, Dec. 30, but she says when you’ve had that many — this was her 94th — one more doesn’t mean too much. However, not many of us reach that many and several things made this day one Mrs. Norton will remember and relive fot a long time. Her daughter, Mrs. Grace Schaibly of Waukegan, Ill., was already here and her other daughter, Mary Smith and husband, Paul of Torch Lake, drove down to spend the day with her. Among those who called on her to wish her a happy birthday were her nieces, Mrs. Mary Erway of Kalamazoo, Mrs. Helen Werner of Newaygo and Mrs. Florence Baughman of Sunfield and the latter’s daughter, Kathryn of Reed City, and also Wilma James. Evelyn Norris and Janet Foley, local. She also enjoyed telephone calls from her granddaughter, Marcia Bearden and family of Birmingham, Mich., and a grandson. David Smith of Rancho Mirage, Calif., and many beautiful cards. One of the bright spots occurred a few days before her natal day when she received a beautiful card from President and Mrs. Ronald Reagan wishing ber many happy returns of the day. She also received a oeautifully written letter of congratulations from Congressman Robert McClory of the 13th Congressional District of Illinois, a friend of Mrs. Schaibly and tier late husband.

Several of my readers have reminded me lately that I haven’t made mention of the birds for a long time and they .miss those little items. Weil, tl»reason for the omission has been that I haven't anything to write about — no birds! We did not feed the birds during the summer months, bird seed is expensive, and during the summer, through the grain harvesting period, and until the corn ground and the weeds are buried in the You’ll be interested <1 in what’s new for ’82 .in IRA’s Tex Break!

A few weeks ago, I had occasion to park in the driveway of the Forsyth home on Carlton Center Road. I was parked beside a large lilac bush. There were several tubular feeders hanging in the bush and there were perhaps 20-25 very attractive little birds hopping around in the bush, off and on tlie feeders. I did not recognize the birds but when I got back home, I looked them up and decided they were the goldfinches, or wild canaries. They had shed 'heir summer yellows and-donned the very attractive winter garb. As soon as the present snow came and the seeds were no longer in the fields, along the roadways and hedgeways, free for the taking, we began putting out our feed daily, and among our first visitors were the goklfiriches and they come daily now, in small flocks of a dozen or sc and these dainty little gentlemen and ladies are among our favorite visitors now. We do not have the variety qf birds — not yet, anyway — that we have had some years. Friends tell us they have so many cardinals, we haven’t seen one yet this year and they were a rarity last year. Neither have we had any piieasants or quail, perhaps later. Of course, we nave plenty of English sparrows. We also have mourning doves, usually two at a time, red bellied woodpeckers, a few slate colored junces, a few nuthatchers, downy and hairy wood­ peckers, one bluejay and that’s about iL But the welcome mat is out!

Lake Odessa Notes The Hastings S *"^1 IBank of FUastings WEST STATE AT BROADWAY Member FDIC All Deposits Insured Up to’100,000.00 Hastings Area News: by Marguerite Stauffer This is a new venture for me,, but I promised the Banner I would attempt to collect some personal news for the Hastings Banner. As a start, I would like to introduce myself. I was born Marguerite McPharlin on January 2,1911, in Rutland Township and in the Tanner School District. 1 now live about one-quarter mile from my birth place on Cook Road. I have always been interested in people and especially older people. I have kept track of most of the boys and girls I taught for thirteen years in die rural schools of Barry County, especially Hope Township. My first school was Shultz on August 3, 1929.1 was just 18 years old and I had pupils the same size as myself. I also taught in Cloverdale. My first news item is to report th?.t Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Flower of Charlotte (both retired teachers) visited me on Saturday evening. It was most interest'ng jo review the days when Marvin entered school from Kalamazoo in the seventh grade. It was quite an adjustment coming to a one-room school.

Plus, we've had such wonderful support from friends and the community. It’s just been overwhelming." "We’re truly overwhelmed over the kind­ nesses. concerns, phone calls, and numerous notes and letters,” she said. When Scott did arrive at Bronson, he still wasn’t out of the woods. In fact, at 7 p.m. because of fluid in the lungs and low blood pressure, doctors told the couple that they did not expect their son to live through the night. “That really devastated us," said Mrs. Smith. “Everything was being done but Scott was not responding to the medication. The Smith’s minister, Rev. Willard Curtis of Hastings' Presbyterian Church, and several friends came to the hospital to be with the couple. “Finally, at 11 p.m., the doctor said, •whatever prayer chain you've got going, really worked — Scott has turned the cor­ ner." Scott continued an uphill battle at the hospital until his release December 29. "I’ve always believed in the power of prayer, but never like I do now," Mrs. Smith said this week. “To me.

Sister Dorothy Smith became consultant Io the alumr.i office as of July 1981. “Ministering with her memory and a sense of continuity,.as she expressed it recently when interviewed for the SSJ News, Sister Dorothy has turned ova* the operation of the alumni services office to another. After eight years of making certain that at Nazareth there is always "someone who remembers.” Sister Dorothy has relinquished the day-to-day activities of the alumni office to Darlene Mosher (1962). An English major. Sister Dorothy received a bachelor ol arts degree from Nazareth College, a master of arts from Notre Dame University, and a Ph. D. from Fordham University. Although Sister taught in elementary and secondary school in the Detroit and Kalamazoo areas for a number of years, the major portion of her long and distinquished teaching career was at the college level. She began as an instructor in English at Nazareth Collegein 1944. In 1952, she was named chairperson of the English department, a position she retained until 1969. Sister advanced 1 the rank of professor in 1958 and continued as professor recovery. The Lord had a part and He worked through them (the people who helped save Scott's life)," she said Doctors explain that what made it possible to save Scott was the dive reflex that takes place in cold water with seals and whales and young children. Mrs. Smith said. "The dive reflex automatically takes the blood from the extremities to the vital organs." “Everything that happened just happened to be right," she said. Looking back on the accident, she said it is probably a blessing that her own attempts to . rescue her son failed because emergency service and law enforcement personnel who played key roles would not have been on the scene to immediately start treatment. After Mrs. Smith's other son, Mark, 6, had told his mom that “Scott was in the lake,” she was able to spot the youth laying face up on the bottom of eight feet of icy water. “It was his yellow and white Snoopy hat that caught my eye.” she said. At first she said she couldn't believe what she was seeing, but then reality set in and "I dove in the lake, but I missed him by six inches. . Mrs. Smith said she came up for air twice and still could not reach Scott. “I thought he was dead and I thought to myself. I've got onechild alive and I’ve got to get myself out of here." At the time Mrs. Smith, a good swimmer, was making the dives, she said it never occured to her that her heavy winter coat and boots were hampering her. In retrospect. Mrs. Smith said. “I think what saved both of us (initially) was that I never panicked.” Foye and Don Copers hold their New Yeais baby.

Also on the school board meeting agenda is a reccomendation by Richard J. Guenther, superintendent of schools, that the Board change the 1982 millage election from March 15 to May 10. “The reasons are," he said on the agenda. "The strong district-wide feeling that the issues will be strongly defeated'so ’let’s plan for a second, a third or more elections until it passes.’ Therefore there is a need for more time to convince the citizens of a need for the extra millage and the consequences if the issue(s) fail - thus a well planned and promoted campaign to pass the millage on the first vote." Guenther will also recommend that the Board appoint a special Millage Steering Committee in order to promote the millage. Citizens who Live agreed to serve on the committee will be announced at the school board meeting, he said. The steering committee s first session will be 7:30 p.m., Jan. 18, in the Junior High Vocal Music Room.

Middleville Insurance Agent by Liz Kingsbury Most people who were running errands or passing by on State Street, Tuesday mor­ ning, felt that Reaganomics means that someone is finally doing somthmg about the economic problems that face the country. However, some people feel that Reagan favors the rich and dosen’t give the little man much of a break. Janice Baker 470 E. Main in Vermontville Township Clerk Martha Thompson, a retiree, who has lived at 601 N. Michigan for lhe past 30 years, said,*'I think he really hasn't had a fair chance to put things in action. (Reagan) should have the big money men pay more taxes and give the little man a break.” I think it’s good that he has gotten a lot of people off of welfare and ADC." Too many mothers spend the money on their boyfriends and the bars and the kids don’t get anything.” Brad Van Zyl 215 W.

" 4nd they cancelled my unemploment benefits." , IRA ■ 'ci When asked what Reaganomics means to her, Audrey Naylor, a Hastings housewife, said,“Big stick, rich men...”. "It seems like he is for the rich and kind of leaving the poor out of it." she said. Today’s tax shelter tomorrow’s retirement fund Martha Thompson 601 N.

Januo'y 7 1982 - Page 5 —Fourth of a Series:____________ ___________________ Radiology firm localized billing service START NOW TO BUILD A CAPITAL BASE Managing your money effectively involves more than day to-day controls and an annual budget. A yearly review of your net worth is also necessary, especially if you are building up a retirement fund. Your net worth should increase from year to year. One way to achieve this s to expand your capital base and keep that along with your net worth increasing above the rate of inflation. Generally, people can expand their capital base through two methods. With the first, you simply continue to save and let your savings grow with interest. The important point to remember, however, is money left in a low-yield savings or checking account could actually lose value through inflation. Investigate money market funds with check writing privileges or other savings in­ struments where higher interest is offered. The second method involves saving toward a specific purchase or goal. In this case, the planning is usually more involved. Before you begin, find out where the money is coming from and how much of it you have to plan with. The money that increases your net worth usually begins with cash. These funds are part of your discretionary spending which is money left over from your budget after the necessities and financial obligations have been paid. It is money to spend or save; but if you spend too frivolously, your capital base cannot increase. To figure out how much discretionary income you actually have, subtract expenses from income. Use only fixed income and. when projecting for '.he years ahead, remember to include foreseeable increases in education, medical care, or rent or mortgage payments. It is this leftover, discretionary money figure that you use in planning a capital acquisitions schedule. (The schedule should be planned for at least three years.) Decide first what items you want to acquire and how you are going to finance them. Use your knowledge of credit and inflation to decide whether you would be better off waiting longer to use cash for the entire purchase or if you should borrow some money and make the purchase sooner. Often, a major mistake in money management is the failure to project a goal and follow through. After you have resolved what you want, mark down how much money you need and when you need it. Then figure out how much time you have, how much you have to save each month and what your annual total should be. Now all you have to do is make the payments. Because these payments are part of your discretionary spending, there are times when unexpected obligations take PUBLIC NOTICES NOTICE OF MORTGAGE SALE Default has been mode in the conditions of a certain mortgage made by PETER LANING and ADRIANNA M.

If this liappens, you can either postpone, or cancel the purchase; opt for the same item at a lower cost; or finance the asset through borrowing. However, there u ill also be times when you can catch up on your payments. Recognize opportunities, such as when you receive an unexpected gift, an extra-large bonus or capital gain. If payments cause problems, review your financial plan and make sure it’s still workable. If the cost of living were to increase by a larger amount than your in­ come. your discretionary spending would probably have to ix? cut. As you are working to increase your net worth, be sure you review both your savings and your acquisitions. Check that your assets are providing a good return. If you invest your savings, evaluate the risk and, above all, avoid losing money. By staying above the rate of inflation, your investments will depend upon whether you are looking for a steady dividend, a large capital gain, or the chance to learn 'he market.

Lake Odessa couple loses home in fire The house of a Lake Odessa couple burnt to the ground, during the high winds Monday afternoon. The fire was discovered al the home of Ronald and Bonnie Wierenga, 4560 Jordan Rd., about 4 p.m. by a neighbor, Ron Wierenga said. Ron Wierenga, who does commercial sandblasting, was out in the woods at the time the fire broke out and his wife was away from home. The Lake Odessa Fire Department an­ swered the alarm at 4:21 p.m. Il took Lake Odessa and Woodland firefighters about two hours to put out the fire, according to Bonnie Weirenga. who works for Dan Hamilton Insurance, Hastings. Ron Wierenga says the fire department told him that the cause of the fire was electrical. “It’s an old farm house with old wires in it," he said. Estimated value of the house is about $43,000. The Wierengas are now staying with Bonnie's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Efiough, 1000 Millde Lake Rd.. Hastings. Ron Wierenga advises people to take in­ ventory of the posessions in their houses for insurance ,arposes. After a fire destroys someone’s home, he said, “The hard part isn't things like a TV and a dresser; it’s the little things.” “It’s hard !o find out what was there from lhe ashes," he said. Wierenga said that inventory booklets are ava:lable from home insurance agents. “It was somthing we were going to do for a year."Wierenga said. BOARD , continued from page 1 that the SEV in lhe figures is based on a 12 percent increase to $148,465,409. In state monies, the schools receive a flat grant of $360 per pupil for 3,530 pupils which equals $1,270,800; a six percent increase of this grant. $76,248; a share of $50.55 per pupil, equalling $794,666; and a six percent increase of that share, $47,680. Total state and local income is $6,125,212. Other income includes special education funds, $426,100; transportation, $213,761; driver education, $15,750; miscellaneous income, $31,600; and accounts receivable, $74,197. Total estimated income less the $200,000 defecit is $6,686,620. Costs to the Hastings schools include non­ salary items at lhe 1981-82 level. $1,368,850; 1981-82 salaries and fringe benefits, $5,439,665; the 9.5 percent wage end fringe increase for all staff except administrators. $487,065; and the six percent wage and fringe increase for all administrators except the superintendent, $18,720. Total contract items amount to $7,314,300.

Guenther explained that a 3.5 mill in­ crease, (raising the millage to 30 mills) plus a 12 percent SEV increase. $148,465,409 would bring in $6,754,250. Other income. $761,408; minus lhe defeat would bring the increased revenue figure to $7,620,300.

Asked what would happen if the millage failed, Guenther said,“We have no other alternative than to go to lhe whole operation and cut it.” In comparison to 60 school districts in Barry, /Xllegan, Kalamazoo and Kent Counties, the Hastings Area School District would be 45th in millage, if the millage were to lx? raised to 32.01. Currently Hastings is equal to Kent and Holland schools, which are ninth and 10th in millage rates. Guenther added that many schools have lower millage figures than Hastings, but have greater debt figures. Items not to lie included in the millage are: the director of elementary education. $35,000; the director of special services, $28,000; the assistant business manager, $18,000; sub teaching by assistant principals, $2,000; orchestra. $20,000; junior and senior high newspapers, $1,100; and staff workshops, $8,000.

Saxon spikers open with win The Hastings Saxons girl's volleyball team opened the season on a winning note with a non-conference victory over Wayland Tuesday. Coach Tom Freridge said that execution of the offense was the key to the 15-3, 3-15, 15-7 victory. “We played very well in the first and last game," Freridge said. “We executed well and Wayland helped by making mistakes." Beth Poll led the Saxons with 11 points in the match. She was the only Saxon »o reach double figures in points. Amy Stack, Buni Guenther and Jackie Jaynes all contributed significantly to the scoring Stack tallied seven points, Guenther six and Jaynes five. The junior varsity Saxons also won Freridge reported. The Saxons enter league play on Friday when they travel to Albion. They will play two matches, one against the host Wildcats, and another against Twin Valley member Sturgis. The Hastings Saxons missed free throws, blew a five poir.t lead and missed a chance to win a Twin Valley game on the road Tuesday. Up by five points going i-to the final period, the Saxons hit only one of six fiee throw attempts down the stretch while Hillsdale was clicking on 11 of 16 from the charity stripe enroute to a 62-57 win. The Saxons missed the front end of one on one free throw situations four times in the fateful final quarter. “They didn’t miss the free throws and we did,” Saxon coach Denny O'Mara reported. “We outrebounded (hem and had less than ten turnovers, but we let down in the stretch and didn't hit the free ones." Saxon forward Steve Del Cotto pumped in a career high 24 points in the losing cause that the Saxons controlled until the final quarter. The teams raced to a 16-16 first quarter score with some rough play underneath. The Saxons moved in front by two at half and increased their lead to five by the end of the third quarter. The slight lead diminished in a hurry in the final quarter when the Saxons started missing and Hillsdale started hitting. Neither team shot a free throw in the first half, but the game was decided at the line in the second half. Hillsdale finished the game with a 12 of 18 mark at the line, 11 of 16 in the final quarter compared to the Saxon 5 of 12 mark for the game and 1 of 6 fourth quarter. “We played a good ballgame on the road but we let it slip away." O'Mara said. "When you control a game on the road, you hope to win, but we didn’t." The Saxons committed only nine turnovers and won the rebound battle by a 34-28 count. Center Dann Howitt who scored 13 points led rebounders with 10 caroms. Stu Spyker came off the bench to grab nine rebounds and also chipped in four points. Forward Bruce Hartman and guard Steve Morgan each contributed 7 points to Saxon cause. Four Hihsdale Hornets scored in double figures led by Carl Peters with 19. The loss drops the Saxons to 2-4 on the season, 1-2 in the Twin Vai ley. They host Harper Creek Friday. It will be the second game of the season for the Beavers (0-1). They are starting late because of funding problems. In the Junior Varsity game the Saxons came out on top 56-47 behind the 34 points of Mark Brown. Greg Fox scored 8 points and Mike Matthews contributed 6 to the Saxon cause. They are now 5-1 on the season. In other Barry County games Tuesday: BELDING 47 LAKEWOOD 45 The lakewood Vikings failed to convert some last minute shots and dropped a 47-45 decision to Tri-River opponent Belding Tuesday. It was the first league loss in three years for the Vikings, and the fourth road game loss of the season. Coach Roily Krauss said his Vikings just didn't play well. ■ “We made a lot of fundamental mistakes and missed some easy shots,” Krauss reported. "We keep making stupid mistakes and we don’'. seem to be doing anything about iL" The Vikings took a first quarter lead and stayed in front until halftime. Belding look the lead in the third quarter and held the Vikings off down the stretch. Tom Eckstrom and Paul Durkee led the Vikings with 10 points each. Jeff Duits added 9 points and Randy Hazel tossed in four to go along with his 13 rebounds. The Vikings hit 42 percent of their shots and outrebounded Belding 32-30.

PENNFIELD 60 MAPLE VALLEY 59 Pennfield came into Nashville ranked in the Class C polls and found out the Maple Valley Lions didn't think much of their ratings. Foul trouble sent feur Lions to the bench in the final quarter and Pennfield escaped with a 60-59 non-conference win and kept their undefeated record intact. The Lions led by one point with 6 seconds left in the game Mickey Mahon came down with a rebound after a missed Panther free throw but was striped of the ball. Pennfield's Mike Rop picked up the loose ball and scored the winner on a layup. Jeff Beebe who scored 16 points to lead the Lions, was one of four to foul out. Leading rebounder Tony Dunkelberger spent most of the game on the bench and played only one second of the final quarter. Randy Joostberns and Tom Brooke also fouled out. Eric Wolff joined Beebe as Lions in double figures. He scored 12 points and Mahon added 10. Pennfield’s Mike Rop scored 12 of his 26 points in the final quarter. Twenty five Lion turnovers contributed to Pennfield's comeback win. Pennfield trailed until the 1:52 mark of Gie final quarter. The loss drops the Lions to 3-3, 2-1 in the TCAA. They entertain undefeated Lakeview Friday. Here are his picks and comments for Friday. Delton 60 Galesburg 55 The Panthers will start the new year on a winning note. The teams are evenly matched, but the Panther home court will make a difference. Outdoor Report: The Tecopa pupfish has become the first species to be removed from the endangered list because it is extinct. The Interior Department's U.S. Fish and Wildlife Servie made the announcement after no Tecopa pup fish were found in spite of extensive searches by Federal. State and university biologists in more than 40 localities near Tecopa, California, where the fish could possibly have existed. The unique desert fish, native to Califor­ nia’s Death Valley system, was known to have lived in only two outflow springs of the Amaragosa River system. It is thought to have disappeared because of alteration of its habitat and possibly also as a result of the introduction of competing, non-native fish. One of 12 kinds of pupfishes in the U.S., the 14 inch Tecopa could tolerate highly saline waters and temperatures up to 110 degrees. In 1965, the two hot spring outflows were rechanneled and combined during con­ struction of bathhouses, resulting in a swifter channel which carried even hotter water farther downstream, a situation for which the pupfish was not adapted. Virtually eliminated by 1969, the Tecopa pupfish was added to the endangered species list in 1970. By 1972, it was known to be gone from this locality, although survival of the related Amaragosa River pupfish in nearby pools and springs indicated that the Tecopa might continue to exist elsewhere in the river system. In 1978, the Fish and Wildlife Service proposed the Tecopa pupfish for removal from the list because it was believed to be extinct; removal has been delayed until additional surveys could be completed. "It is always sad when a species becomes extinct because of human activities," noted Robert A. Jantzen, director of the Fish and Wildlife Service. “But the Tecopa pupfish was possibly already extinct when the first recovery efforts were made under the en­ dangered species laws. In this instance, the fact that this fish has become extinct should not be taken to mean that endangered species conservation measures have failed. On the contrary, recovery actions have benefited a great number of endangered species, such as the American alligator, peregrine falcon, whooping crane and brown pelican." Hastings 65 Harper Creek 44 Harper Creek is getting started late because of millage woes, but the Saxons will not offer mercy. The fastbreak will break the Beavers. Compu-jock slipped on the ice Tuesday picking just one of the three county games correct. That drops his season record to 16-10 for the season, a .615 mark, and he is feeling the heat from the sports-editor. C.J. claims he has to get warmed up again following the holiday break. The sports-editor is giving him heat because his .615 mark is lower than the human predictors at other papers in the area. Lakewood 60 Coopersville 57 After losing Tuesday, the Vikes should wake up and see they have a tough road to the Tri-River title. Being at home in the Viking gym will get them pumped up and they will edge Coopersville. Maple Valley 54 Lakeview 52 The Lions keep improving. Lakeview makes the long trip down to Nashville and will ride home unhappy. Middleville 70 Kelloggsville 66 The Trojans will click in Friday's battle with Kelloggsville. They need this one to stay near the top in the OK Blue.

Johnston The politics of the Hastings City Council took a new twist, Monday evening The council raised the salaries of two of­ ficials above salaries recommended by Mayor Kenneth J. Howe, and for the first time in memory, the council also had votes against the mayor's appointments to the council's standing committees. Monday’s first-of-the-year meeting was the beginning of Howe's term as mayor and was the first for council members Mary E. Vol. 127, No. 2 Spackman. First Ward, and Gordon L. Bennett, Third Ward David Jasperse, formerly aiderman from the First Ward, was attending his first session as the Fourth Ward representative. Howe recommended that Michael Klovanith, director of public services and city engineer, be raised from $32,700 to $35,000, a seven percent increase. Jasperse moved, however, to set Klovanich's salary at $35,645, a nine percent increase, which he said was the same as the city union employees received. Council member Mary Lou Gray said she had talked to Charlotte officials who were paying three people $81,400 to do the same job that Klovanich is doing in Hastings. The salary increase was passed unanimously. Council did not increase the salary of Michael Payne, city assessor and building inspector, as easily. Howe recommended that Payne be given a $1,000 raise from his $17,985 salary, an increase of five percent. Jasperse moved that Payne by increased to $19,245, a seven percent raise. Hastings, Michigan ‘‘My reasoning behind n.y recom­ mendation is the uncertainty of the economy," Howe said. Jasperse countered that Payne was doing a good job as building inspector and city assessor and had the possibility of more responsibility if the city hires a part-time inspector to assist him. Citizens in the audience pointed out that contraction was down, giving Payne less work to do and that an error had been made in the 1981 property assessments. In the final vote, council members Patrick Thursday, January 14,1982 Child support petition denied Barry County father brings equal rights organization to circuit court with him by Greg Johnson A former Barry County man that brought members of an equal rights organization to Barry Eaton Circuit Court last week was denied action on a child support petition he presented. Walt Lawrence, 45, of Mt. Clemens, the father of a child living in Barry County, petitioned Circuit Court and appeared in front of Judge Richard Robinson twice Friday. In his petition Lawrence defended hiniself and claimed the court should live up to "it's oath of office”. Lawrence, who has been sentenced to the Barry County Jail before for not paying his child support, told the Banner before the court appearance that he was going to ask the court to stop requiring him to pay his child support with federal reserve notes (dollars). He claims the United States Constitution says he can only be required to pay in gold or questions while seated on the witness stand. silver minted coin, and since gold and silver Once Lawrence had finished his statement coin are no longer minted, he can not-be Judge Robinson announced his decision of required to pay by the court system denial. Lawrence appeared before Judge Lawrence and the three men that were Robinson just before noon for the first time with him said they would appeal the decision Friday. Judge Robinson asked him to meet and take it to the Supreme Court if necwith the Friend of the Court, go through an cessary. interview for a report on his petition, and Lawrence received his divorce before then appear in court on Jan. 22. Judge Robinson in 1968 and claims to have Following a lunch recess the Friend of the ' paid $39,614 in support payments since that Court office found Lawrence, interviewed time. him and gave a report to Judge Robinson. He appeared in Barry Eaton Circuit Court With the report. Judge Robinson agreed to oi. Dec. 11 with a petition and Judge hear the case Friday afternoon. Robinson denied that one as well. The group “Fathers for Equal Rights of Lawrence is a member of Fathers for America, Inc." had dwindled from several Equal Rights of America, Inc., a Southfield members to three by that time they went based group that claims 3,000 members. with Lawrence to the Circuit Court room. Alan Z. Lebow, the executive director of Many had left at lunch expecting to return on the group, said the decision by Judge Jan. 22. Robinson is typical of the decisions reached Lawrence presented his own case by by the court system against divorced questioning himself and answering the fathers. ' That is why we are organized," he said. "We want to change the treatment of divorced fathers through the system." Lawrence said he is involved in six other cases in Michigan with divorced fathers. All six cases are based on the silver and gold question raised by Lawrence. Lawrence, who will be through with child support payments in March when his child reaches age 18, said getting out of paying is not his motive. “I just want the courts to give us a fair treatment in divorce cases,” he said. Lebow said his organization's goal is to get divorce out of the court system and set up on a counselling basis. "Marriage isn’t in the court room, why should divorce be?” he asked. Lawrence has appeared in Barry Eaton Circuit Court several times over the past 14 years. He has been sentenced three times to jail for not paying his support payments. Vaughan. Spackman and Bennett voted against the higher salary, while Jasperse. William Cook, Gordon Fuhr, Mary Lou Gray and William Cusack voted in favor. Other officials were reappointed with no argument. Mark Steinfort was named chief of police at $24,500, the salary at which he took the position on Dec. 1. Fire Chief Roger Caris, who took his post on Oct. 1, was given an $18,000 salary with a $75 per month in­ crease starting July 1. City Attorney Richard Shaw had his retainer fee raised from $5,600 to $6,000. Caris was also named fire n.srshal. Stemfort was named director of civil defense and Dr Edwin Larkin, health officer. These are unpaid positions. Three council members, Gray, Jasperse and Vaughan, voted against Howe’s standing committee appointments. The major change was the appointment of Spackman ,to head the Finance Committee instead of Cook, who has held the post since 1976. Cook was named as a committee member. The finance chairman also serves with the mayor and director of public services on the Budget Committee. “I felt that the chairman of the Finance Committee should be someone who has had at least some experience working with the budget," Gray told The Banner. "This has nothing to do with Mary or to lessen her experience with home mortgages, but there's nothing like experience on the job. It's a powerful pos tion It’s a prestigious position " Spackman is employed as branch manager of Great Lakes Federal Savings. Jasperse expressed a similar sentiment about Spackman's lack of experience with the budget. Vaughan was not available for comment. Other committee chairmen named were Bennett.

(Banner photo) Parks, Recreation and Insurance, and Cook, Fire and Lighting. William Cook was unanimously re-elected as mayor pro-tem. Three members, Cusack, Fuhr and Gray, voted against the appointment of Ronald Miller to the Planning Commission. Miller was named to a one year term, completing the unexpired term of Spackman. Frank Campbell, former First Ward councilman, was named to a three year term on the commission and James Wiswell was reappointed for three years. Klovanich was chosen to fill the one year term for a city administrative official and Jasperse was selected as the council’s representative. Kichard Bedulin was reappointed to a three year term on the Zoning Appeals Board and Douglas Vickery was named to a three year term, replacing Jasperse. Payne presented the following information on building permits issued in 1981: — three residential homes valued at $125,000; — 12 for additions valued at $28,565; — nine for commercial additions valued at $109,606; — one industrial valued at $6,677; — four signs valued at $2,840; — one swimming pool for $8,000; — ten assessory buildings for $18,000.

Jaycee secretory, watch as Mayor Kenneth J. Howe signs a proclamation announcing Jan. 17-23 as National Joycee Week in Hastings. Bonner photo) Hastings Mayor Kenneth J. Howe has proclaimed the week of January 17-23 as National Jaycee Week in tribute to the Hastings Jaycees who have been a vital part of the development of young leaders in the community for the past 41 years. “This organization of young men has contributed to the betterment of the Hastings area through its involvement ir its "Helping Hand” projects,” Howe said in the proclamation. In saluting the Jaycees. the Mayor urges "all citizens of Hastings to give full regard to their past and continuing services of the Hastings Jaycees." The United States Jaycees and its af­ filiated state and local organizations have set aside the third week in January to observe the founding of the Jaycees sixty-two years ago. In Hastings, the Jaycees became a chartered organization on March 14, 1940 and have been involved in civic projects since its beginning. Last year alone, the Hastings Jaycees returned more than $3,000 to the community and worthy national causes through its Community Helping Hand" projects Hastings Jaycees keep very busy trying to meet the current challenges in the area. Their community involvement runs the gamut from patriotic projects like putting up flags downtown for each holiday to con­ ducting a bike-a-thon for Cystic Fibrosis; and from environmental activities like cleaning the river banks to helping with the Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy Telethon. Jaycees raise funds by sponsoring events, including a Halloween Dance and conducting a bingo game at the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce's Summer-Fest last year. The local Jaycees are always busy planning projects or doing something to have a positive impact on our Hastings, says Steve Jacobs, project chairman. “While doing this, we also find time to improve ourselves by putting on individual development talks at our general mem­ bership meetings." he said. The local organization meets at 7 p.m. the first Tuesday of every month at the Com­ munity Activities Center on North Michigan Ave., across from Reahm Motor Sales. Any young men between the ages of 18 and 36 are eligible io become Jaycees. A new local addition this year has been a club newsletter. "The JayceeSpirit," to keep members informed of the organization's activities. Thirty-four civic-minded members have joined the ranks of the Jaycees, getting in­ volved in a balanced program of chapter management, community development, and individual development. This is called the Jaycee Triangle. Jacobs said, and it is an equal-sided triangle. From the balanced exposure, members receive leadership training which will be beneficial in the future to both the individual and to the community. In the past 41 years, the Hastings Jaycees have had many past presidents who have become well-known in their ensuing years, both for their business careers and their community service.

Mark Shellenbarger, who was laid off from the Viking Corp., 5300 Lammers Rd., Hastings, said, “I think that Hastings (schools) did pretty good myself,” he said. Shellenbarger added that the schools should get back to a fe* more of the basic things. "Things are changing too fast,” he said. "I knc-” I had a good education here,” he said. He said that Hastings could afford to provide quality education. “I know a lot of businesses are leaving town and that’s going to hurt,” Shellen­ barger said. "But I still think that kids are important. "I have no kids in school, but when I do I want (them) to have the best." Mark Shellenbarger 5300 Lammers Rd., Hastings Laid-off Melvin Hornsby, 1930 W. Quimby, Hastings Hastings, who is retired, said,"I’m in favor of education, but as far as millage is con­ cerned, I'm not for it. "The millage situation is getting clear out of whack, along with the other taxes we have. “When 1 went to school, I went to a country school with one teacher and 30 students." Fritzie Doyle, a housewife who lives on 2601 Schultz Rd., Hope Township, said that quality education means teaching the children at home, private schools or private tutoring. "I don't feel they (teachers in public schools) ask enough of the children,” she said As an example, Mrs. Doyle said that one of her children learned a poem, but her teacher only wanted her to memorize the first two lines. "The teacher said it was too hard for her,” she said."She had the poem memorized and she unlearned it because the teacher told her that it was too hard.” "I think we need smaller schools," she added. "I think it would help some, don't you?" Mrs. Doyle said that she definitely felt that Hastings could afford to provide quality education. "I don't think we need to spend more than we are spending right now,” she said. “I think we could spend less and get a quality education." Marcia Kill, a housewife from 1006 l^keview. Lake Odessa, said that sports are essential in a quality education. "I think they need the sports,” she said. Mrs. Kill, the mother of three, said that football, volleyball and track are sports that should be restored in the school system. "I don't think they can afford to have the sports,” she added. Melvin Hornsby 1930 W. Quimby, Hastings Retired Fritzie Doyle 2601 Schultz Rd., Hope Township Housewife Jeff Feiler. a farmer from 8129 Bedford Rd., Hastings, said that quality education is reading, writing and arithmetic. • As far as quality, I haven't been close enough to ’heorganization to really tell you," Feiler said. Some of the young people in town, where I’ve done business, have a hard time making change.” "A lol of tax dollars are spec* on program: the children don't really need," he added. “If we can put people on the moon, what can we use to help our kids better?” Of whether or not Hastings can afford to provide quality education. Feiler said,”According to my taxes, they certainly should be able to afford it." He said that they should put the basic requirements on the line first before sports. “If they can afford it (sports), fine." Feiler said. "But first things first, that’s how our country was bought and paid for.” Marcia Kill 1006 Lakeview Dr., Lake Odessa Housewife NOTICE The Hastings Area School District regular Board Meeting has been re-scheduled for Monday, Jan. 18, 1982, 7:30 p.m. in the Junior High Vocal Music Room.

Nichols Secretary Charlie Wilson, an employee of E.W. Bliss who lives on 612 W. Bond St., Hastings, said,“To me. quality education means regardless of who you are, and where you live, it’s still equal." Wilson, who is just starting a beard, said that quality education is for all people. Asked if Hastings can afford it, he said,“We always have and I don’t know why we should'nt be able to now.” “I think quality education is one that puts emphasis on reading, writing and arithmatic, and then brings in sports, drama and debate," Doris Daugherty, an adult crossing guard, 522 N. Michigan Ave., Hastings, said. “But first the basics,” she added. She feels that Hasting can afford to provide quality education. Dave Beckwith, a Kent County Airport employee. 912 E. Madison. Hastings, said,“I ihink the quality of education in Hastings is pretty good.” He said that school children in a small town tend to have more individual attention. "1 can see where in big cities, they’re having real problems,” he said. Can Hastings afford to provide quality education? ’ Sure, but I think they should be selective (in choosing) teachers,” he said. "They’re hiring too many coaches instead of (or­ dering) books and supplies "I Ihink their emphasis is having a number one school instead of number one education." This is the second of a weekly series of person on the street interviews. — NOTICE — Barry County Council of Camp Fire, Inc., annual board meeting will be held at the Emmanual Episcopal Church at 315 W.

The weather over the weekend certainly wasn’t good for us humans and it wasn’t good for our feathered friends, either. The wind blew so hard and seemingly from all directions. You could not keep birdseed anywhere. As fast as we put it out, the wind blew it from the feeders, no matter where they were located, and scattered seed all over the ground before the birds could satisfy their hunger — and they were hungry. When my wife took the first feed out Sunday morning, she found a dead sparrow in one of the most protected feeders. We didn't know whether the poor little thing froze to death, starved to death or died from some other cause. We mentioned last week that we hadn't seen a cardinal around here yet this year. Well, I’m glad to report that Monday afternoon there were seven of the gorgeous creatures filling their tummies at one of the feeders. The welcome mat is still out and we hope they will be regulars at our diner. And Tuesday morning, a couple of chickadees dropped in for breakfast and we hope they’ll stay. We are glad to report that Paul Smith of Torch Lake, who was taken very sick a couple of weeks ago and is a patient at Little Traverse Hospital in Petoskey, is improved. Mrs. Smith's sister, Mrs. Grace Schaibly of Waukegon, Ill., who has been here with her mother, Mrs. Roy Norton, went up there to be with Mary last week and got snowed in, hoped to get back here Tuesday and will then go on home for a time. Mr and Mrs. Leo Barry of Barber Road are staying with Mrs. Norton. Mrs. Bonnie Donaldson and Brent, and Mrs. Alberta Curtis were Grand Rapids Milk Producers to hold annual meeting Jan. 16 The Barry and Eaton - Lansing Local of the Michigan Milk Producers Association will conduct its annual meeting at noon, Satur day, Jan. 16 at the Masonic Temple, Charlotte.

Guest speaker will be Laurie Heuser, vice president of Hilltop Orchards and Nurseries, Hartford. Sixty-eight locals thoughout the state form the grassroots nucleus of MMPA, the state’s largest milk marketing cooperative. MMPA membership totals some 6,000 dairy farmers statewide. For further information about the up­ coming activities of the Barry-Eaton local contact Wayne Pennock, 10401 Lawrence Rd., Nashville, 852-9547. The keynote speaker, Mrs. Heuser, mother of five, obtained her bachelor’s degree in horticulture from Michigan State University. Since then she has appeared in 36 states and Canada as a lecturer and banquet speaker. She is founding member of Women for the Survival of Agriculture in Michigan and has served on the Governor’s special agriculture conference committee. Farm Bureau kicks off membership drive The Barry County Farm Bureau kicked off its 1982 membership drive at the Tick Tock restaurant, 2160 Bedford Rd., Thursday, with a meeting and a luncheon. Shirley Tolles of Hastings, has been named mem­ bership campaign manager for the Farm Bureau’s membership drive, Anna Cairns, county president announced. Under the leadership of Mrs. Tolles, volunteer membership campaign workers in every township will aim at a goal of 1,126 member families. The statewide goal for the Michigan Farm Bureau is 77,180 memberships in 1982. "It is vitally important that we reach our mem­ bership goal early, so that we can get to the business of implementing the policies we have adopted at our county and state meetings,” Mrs. Tolles said. Mrs. Tolles added that members participating in member only programs, such as Blue Cross - Blue Shield group health in­ surance. must renew their family membership before Jan. 31, 1982 to maintain their eligibility. Those attending the membership campaign meeting were Oliver Boulter, Norman Hammond, Paul Gibson, Robert Gaskill, Lisa Eldred, Linda Smith, Tom Guthrie, Gerry Davis, insurance agent; Bob Bender, Dick Reed, in­ surance agent; Jim West­ brook, regional represen­ tative; Larry Neil, insurance agent; Anna Cairns, county president; and Shirley Tolles, membership cam­ paign manager. shoppers Saturday.

Sunday afternoon, they called on Mr and Mrs. Cliff Converse of rural Hastings. Mrs. Tom Niethamer entertained the Katherine Circle of Zion Lutheran Church at her home Monday afternoon The bad weather of the weekend and the continued cold of Monday could not cause a can­ cellation of this gathering and when we contacted her. .here were two ladies present. Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Potter of Woodland and Mr. and Mrs. Steven Potter and three children of Carlton Center were Saturday evening dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Jewell of Charlotte. Dan Payne and Kim Hesterly of Hastings were dinner guests of Mrs. Hildred Hesterly of Woodland. Saturday dinner guests were Ron Hesterly of Hastings and George Schaibly, local. They were joined in the afternoon by Verdan Hesterly of Ionia and Mrs. Virginia Tousley of Woudland for a time of visiting. And the tree came down! In keeping with their promise when they brought out a small tree a week before Christmas, set it up in the dining room and put the decorations on it, thirteen of the grandchildren and great­ grandchildren came about 8:30 p.m. last Thursday evening, undecorated the tree, took it down and cleaned up the mess. They were: Mr. and Mrs. David Roush, Carrie and Andrew, of Nashville, Mr. and Mrs. Dana Roush and Sarah, Mr. and Mrs Jim Vreugde, Dawne Roush, Darcy Roush, Darla Roush and Doug Smith, aL of Hastings. The job took them about five minutes to complete but they had fun and we appreciated their company. They brought popcorn, brownies and cool-aide and Grandma added a tig plate of her assorted Christmas cookies and all had their fill. Just think, it’s 344 days before next Christmas. Sunday dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. Vivian Barnum were Mr. and Mrs. Claude Smith, Scott and June Smith, Jeff and Lisa Ketcham, Tammy Hoover and Mr. and Mrs. Don Ketcham. Not only did the Barnums pick the worst day of the year (thus far), but the day the well froze up, too, and the guests had to bring their own drinking water. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Hallaaay, Kristen, Karrie and Kimberly, who have been spending a couple of weeks with the Willis Daltons and other relatives in Michigan, decided to return to their home in East Windsor, N.J., a day earlier than they had intended due to weather conditions and the forecast. They left here about 4:15 a.m. Saturday and called back about 10 pm. — they had just arrived home — a drive of about 846 miles. They reported that they had much better weather on their trip home than we were having here. Following the fire at the Ronald Wieringa home a week ago last Monday afternoon, which resulted in the complete destruction of the house, I wonder if I could just mention a couple of items for the sake of older readers of the Banner who would not perhaps be able to locate the house by the Jordan Road number. Many of these readers left Woodland years ago and might appreciate this added information. The burned house was located just west of Lawliead Lake on the south side of Jordan Road and was better known as the Olmsted farm. It was owned for some time by Seymour Olmstead and later by his son George and wife, Grace. George died some 16 years ago and his wife sold it and now lives with her son in Hastings. She was greatly grieved over the destruction of her long time home by fire. Mr. and Mrs. Wieringa had resided in his folks’ second house on Durkee Road and had moved to the Jordan Road home on May 9, 1981. Hastings^) Kiwanis Club piesents...

Marriage Licenses HELP WANTED • Engraving Cole - McMillon to be united The Hastings Business and Professional Women met Tuesday, January 12, for their first dinner meeting of the new year. The program was a learning experience entitled “What You’ve Always Wanted to Know About BPW and Were Afraid to Ask”. Members divided into four groups and reviewed the concerns and objectives of the BPW Federation and the background that originally formed the worldwide organization. Three new members were initiated into the club: Peg Bradford, secretary at Northern Aerial Survey: Audrey Burdick, Barry County drain commissioner, and Manon VanKuilenburg. who is in charge of accounts receivable at Hastings Manufacturing Company. Two guests were welcomed: Greta Berry, owner and operator of the Silhouette Beauty Shop, and Jeraiee Sheldon, secretary at the Reminder. In their groups, members learned that BPW is an organization for all working people who support the federation ob­ jectives; are actively engaged in business or the professions; and pay dues to a local club. The Michigan Federation alone consists of about 5,500 employed individuals. Concerns of the BPW are to gain political and economic equity-for women; to establish ties among working women around the nation; to promote legislative actions benefiting working women; to participate in programs that address women’s concerns; to benefit from personal and professional development; to achieve career goals and proficiencies through improved skills and to support women as business and community leaders. By Margaret G. McCall You’ve heard of wine and cheese tasting, fondue parties, and salad luncheons This winter, try a new temptation to the tastebuds - a ’pickle potpourri.' Good things are growing in Michigan and more than 100 varieties of pickles are available to choose from. Our state leads the nation in growing cucumbers for pickle production with about 210 million pounds harvested in 1980, according to the Michigan Department of Agriculture. This may help explain why the largest pickle packer in the U.S. is located in Michigan. For a pickle potpourri, as with other tasting parlies, look for new pickle products at your favorite deli or grocery. Choose some varieties unfamilier to many of your guests to add to the intrigue. Arrange two to tnree relish trays with sweet midget, sliced bread-and-butter, kosher, dill and fresh-pack pickles. Pickled cauliflower, onionsand peppers, chutney and com relish will give your pickle display color and variety. Serve broiled hamburgers cut in quarters, small wedges of Michigan submarine sand­ wiches (made with quality Michigan lun­ cheon meats and cheeses), or crackers and bread slices to accompany your potpourri. Pickling was a principal way of preserving foods for centuries, and after 4,000 years of contributing flavor and variety to many gala events, a salute to this valuable industry and the tremendous flavors of pickles may be long overdue.

Probably the best choice wasn’t even mentioned, .grandma’s remedy. If you get a cold, stay home in bed. Keep warm. Gargle with warm salt water to ease a sore throat and take a mild pain* reliever for the discomfort. While none of this will cure the cold, these actions will make you feel somewhat more comfortable while your body’s natural defense mechanisms are building up enough steam to overcome the virus, says the Michigan State Medical Society (MSMS). Hundreds of thousands of patients will suffer from common colds in the next few months. They will go to the doctor, looking fora medicine to cure it. The doctor can help you feel less miserable by giving you something for your runny nose, sore throat, headache and the general discomfort that goes with infection,-but there is no cure. Antihistamines dry up the nasal passage somewhat and ease up the secretions, but they also leave a dry mouth In addition, they can also cause drowsiness, which can be very dangerous if you’re driving. Mild pain relievers available in the drug store will relieve the headache and some will also relieve the fever, but these too. have their limitations and problems. And while you may like a shot of whiskey and honey, it won't burn out those viruses. In recent years, much has been written about Vitamin C as a treatment that will prevent, cure of minimize the common cold. Research projects can be cited botn for and against its usefulness, yet the controversy continues, and probably won’t be settled for years. Recent studies, however, show the benefit of using the vitamin to be minimal. If a cold hangs on, medical attention is a good coui se of action While antibiotics will not affect the cold viruses, sometimes there is a secondary bacterial infection that will respond to penicillin. Sometimes, symptoms of the common coid may have other causes such as allergies. Colds may also precede a more serious illness - so if you have real concerns make sure you seek the advice uf a physician says the MSMS. Elizabeth C Bax HASTINGS-Mrs Elizabeth C. bax, 84 of 1284 E.

New, better class of potential anti-tumor agents discovered A chemist has discovered a class of potential anti-tumor agents that might be more active and less toxic than the heavy­ metal drugs now used in cancer chemotherapy, the National Science Foundation announced recently. The chemist. Dr. George R. Newkome of Louisiana State Un./ersity in Baton Rouge, was conducting an NSF-funded basic research project to learn more about soluble catalysts when he made the unexpected discovery. Catalysts are substances that speed up or slow down the rate of chemical changes Dr. Newkome and his research group were investigating a class of compounds which would hold a central core atom of palladium in exactly the correct manner to provide catalytic activity. "It occurred to me that one particular geometric form of our compound — if we could prepare it — might have therapeutic value similar to the widely used cancel antagonist, cis-platinum," Dr. Newkome reported to the NSF. He emphasized that a lot more testing must be done to make the most effective anti-cancer agent. "What we’ve got now is good, but we’ve just scratched the surface so far,’’ he said.

(DNR photo) Miller says Hastings High is saving electricity Since 1975, concentrated efforts have been made to curtail the use of electricity in school buildings, said Robert C. H-ll'er, administrative assistant for non-instruction in a memo to Superintendent Richard J. Guenther. Miller said that Hastings High School received the most attention in the con­ servation program because it was the largest consumer Miller has kept records to evaluate the results of his the program. “These records indicate our program has been successful," Miller said. "A formula of billing demand times consumption gives us an index of units used." In 1975. 973 untis were used at $64.80 per unit. In 1981,212 units were used and the cost per units has increased to $251.08. “Even with the tremendous increase in cost per unit, the total cost for electricity for 1981 was $53,180 while in 1975, the total electrical bill was $63, 032," he said. "A reduction in expenditure of $10,000." “A frightening thought," he added. "If the high school was still using electricity at the same rate as 1975 and using 1981 's cost per unit, the electrical bill would be $244,234.” ‘ Thus it could be stated that the energy conservation program saved $191,053 in 1981," he said. Miller said that similar savings in elec­ trical consumption are taking place in our other schools. “And this winter our priority is improving the operation of heating plants." Miller said.

He has been a Commissioner since 19S8. Radant says he sees 1982 as a ‘real transition year” because as of next January, the county board will be reduced in size from its present 11 commissioners to seven or five, depending on the outcome of a court challenge of the recently adopted reapporlionment plan for Barn’ County. The plan being challenged divides the county into seven commissioner districts. By the very nature of a smaller board, Radant said commissioners should gear this year toward making a smooth transition into 1983 when the reduction will occur "There’s no doublt that it will be more of a full-time job." when the change takes place, he said.

Because of the extra revenue. Com­ missioners plan to consider requests to establish an emergency fund to pay for overtime costs of snow removal on roads and for an additional $25,000 to operate Charlton Park. Commissioner James Gordon, finance chairman, explained to commissioners that a carry over surplus of $140,000 had been projected into the revenues for 1982 when this year’s budget was planned. However, Gordon said that when a trial balance was tallied December 31, the surplus amounted to $241,534.61 or approximately $100,000 more than anticipated. County Treasurer Elsie Furrow said Wednesday that the larger surplus existed because "frankly, they didn't have as many expenditures at the end of the year as they anticipated. Gordon said he expects the actual surplus figure to be reduced because "the clerk's cfficestill has a number of outstanding bills" to be paid from those funds. He called the fund requests for roads and the park "very valid" and expressed hope for an agreement to be reached after allowing time for the finance committee to meet with representatives of those depart­ ments. Commissioner Otis Hermenitt presented the request to establish an emergency fund to help the Barry County Road Commission with overtime expense of clearing roads. Ron Lear, road commissioner engineer­ manager. told commissioners that eight hours of overtime for his crews could add up lo as much as $7,500. In regard to weakend road clearance, Lear said, "about the only time we go out now are when the ruads are blocked." Hermenitt encouraged commissioners to set priorities of whether "to save lives or money” when considering the request for the road commission. A motion by Edward Daniels and Her­ menitt to establish an emergency overtime road fund of $40,000 was defeated by a 6-5 vote. Supporting them were Commissioners Richard Landon. Jack Love, and Wait Soya. Commissioner Richard Dean said he had no objections to establishing the fund if it could be shown that money was available. And Commissioner Paul Kiel then made a motion, which passed 6-5, to refer the feasibility of setting up such a fund to the safety control and finance committees. Dean then made a motion, passed by a 10-1 vote, to agree to reimburse the road com­ mission for any emergency labor overtime for the next two weeks until a final decision on the matter is reached at the board’s January 26 meeting. Commissioners also referred to the county development and finance committees a request by Kingsington Jones, chairman of the county parks commission, for $25,000 to help with Charlton Park’s operating ex­ penses. Jones told commissioners that the park needs $155,000 for operations this year and that only $127,000 in revenues is anticipated. He said the park expects lo generate $87,000 this summer from admissions and special events. but emphasized that the shortfall is immediate because those revenues will not be received until June or July. In other business, Kiel, personnel chair­ man, stated that the county was advertising for a certified level HI assessor to head the county's equalization department. Phyllis Jackson, current director, has been un­ successful in three attempts to pass her level III test which is required for that position by the state tax commission. Commissioners met with Mrs. Jackson in a closed session Tuesday afternoon to discuss the matter. The board approved the transfer of $2,000 from the contingency fund to keep the Barry County Sheriff’s Department's Watts telephone line in service. The Waits line permits residents from anywhere in the county to call the department toll-free. Sheriff David Wood Lad been faced with curtailing the Watts line service because of budget cuts. He said there are 13 telephone exchanges in the area which would require a long distance call if the service were discontinued. Commissioners approved hiring Sylvia Dulaney, former coordinator of the grants andadministrationoffice, as a consultant for a solid waste project which she had been working on before her job was a victim of the county's financial crunch. The board said Ms. Dulaney will serve as a consultant on a contract basis at a rate of $16 per hour for not more than 80 hours. The project is expected to be completed by March 5. Committee appointments for 1982 were made by Randant and approved by the board. A new committee this year is safety control which Radant said he added because of the county’s self-insurance program.

Host families sought for foreign exchange students American Field Service (AFS) In­ ternational - Intercultural Programs is of­ fering the families of Hastings the op­ portunity to meet the world face-to-face. Families are being sought by the local AFS Chapter to host foreign students for the coming school year. According to Mary Brown, AFS Chapter president, each visiting student is between the ages of 16 and 19 and lives as a member of a family, while at­ tending classes at Hastings High School. The Hastings AFS Chapter hopes to host two or three students this year. “The AFS program is extremely rewar­ ding to the host family as well as beneficial to the student," says Ann Hamaty, host family chairperson. “Families learn and grow together by acquiring new perspectives about another’s culture." A major quality desired in a host family is an openness to new ideas. Although many host families have children of high school age, families with young children or no children are eligible to host and are en­ couraged to apply. Host families are not asked to make special expenditures for tljeir AFS student, but they do pay food costs and incidental expenses which they would for any child. Host families may take a monthly tax deduction of $50 in accordance with provisions made by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. AFS extends medical coverage u> its students and a monthly allowance. “More important than the financial con­ tribution a family makes is the interest and attention they provide the AFS student, which is usually more than comoensated by the rewards they gain in return," Hamaty stressed. The candidates who apply for a year stay in the U.S. are carefully screened through their own national offices and the in­ ternational headquarters of AFS located in New York City. There are currently 3,241 students from 55 nations living and studying in American communities across the country. Said one host mother, “AFS proves that it is easy to forget national barriers and find a base for growth and understanding; we discovered much about human nature in general and our children were awakened to an interest for the world and the people living in it." Families interested in participating in the American Field Service experience can call or write Ann Hamaty at 1035 David Drive, phone 945-5302, or Mary Brown at 1009 S. Jefferson, phone 945-9480. New tower near Middleville Western Michigan will have new TV station...Channel 17 "On The Road” host to visit January 28th TV’s Dick Evans will appear at Hastings Chamber Dinner Dick Evans of WOTV, best known for his "On the Michigan Road" series, will be the featured speaker at the annual dinner meeting of the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce this month. The Thursday, January 28 program will begin with a 6 p.m. social time, followed by a 6:30 p.m. dinner at the Elks Temple in Hastings. Dick, a native of Bellefonte, Pennsylvania, has been with WOTV and Radio since 1962. As a college student, he studied engineering at Georgia Tech and later at­ tended the University of Illinois, where he transferred from a pre-med to journalism program. During Work! War II, Dick served as an information specialist in the Armed Forces Network in the European Theatre. During his career in broadcas. journalism, Dick has performed as reporter, assignment editor and news director at several radio and TV stations in several states including Illinois, Arkansas, and Oklahoma. He also worked for WJIM-TV in Lansing. While Dick has covered hard news stories, including four presidents and 20 governors, he has become best known for his "On the Michigan Road" stories which have taken him to every county in the state as well as to counties in surrounding states. Dick's estimated 1,950 individual stories range from obscure human interest features to essays on the most popular and most remote interest spots in and around Michigan. His weekday segments have introduced West Michigan viewers lo the staggering scope of the state’s lifestyles and landmarks. Tickets for the Chamber dinner are $6. per person. by Greg Johnson Another television tower is going up near Middleville, and another station will soon be on the air in Western Michigan. WWMA-TV-17 (We're Western Michigan’s Alternative TV) will air as an independent "UHF” station March 1, Paul A. Stewart, president-general manager said Monday. A 1,070 foot tower is under construction on Davis Rd., near the towers of several other Western Michigan television stations. Stewart said'the tower is being constructed in Barry County because at that location the tower will not interfere with airport traffic. The tower is currently 260 feet into the air. The new transmitter building will have the newest state of the art broadcast equipment, Stewart said. The new studio and offices of TV-17 are under construction in Grand Rapids at the intersection of 1-96 and Plainfield Ave. March 1 is the target date for operation of the station which is owned by TV-17 Unlimited Inc., a Michigan corporation with Western Michigan business and professional men and women as stockholders. Stewart said the station will program educational, religious and family programs each 18 hour broadcast day. As an in­ dependent station (not affiliated with a network), TV-17 will pick up news and sports from three national sources. The station will also program a local news show and cover high school sporting events, Stewart said. Tentative sports programming plans in­ clude coverage of the Michigan High School Athletic Association's basketball tour­ nament which kicks off in early March. With 1,300,000 watts of power the station will cover a program area that extends 63 miles in each direction. Stewart said that includes most of Western Michigan from south of Big Rapids to just over the slate line into Indiana, and from Lake Michigan lo east of Lansing. Stewart said plans for the station have been underway since 1978. "The station pledges a caring and sharing attitude toward people and orograming," Stewart said in a recent press release. “The heavy emphasis on family alternative viewing promises to meet the needs and wishes of many of Western Michigan's viewers.” Stewart, a graduate of the University of Wisconsin has been in the media business for 35 years. He owns and operates two FM radio stations in Wisconsin. The temporary offices for TV-17 are at 3862 Plainfield Ave., N.E., in Grand Rapids. Interviews to fill 37 available jobs are being conducted at this time. OS&W' Get your family or friends o subscription to the Banner.

'!!..• Hastings Saxons hit 14 of 16 free throw attempts compared to Delton-Kellogg's 3 of 8 performance, and it proved to be the dif­ ference in action Tuesday at Hastings High. I hv 87 percent mark from the line combined with a 45 percent shooting field goal percentage boosted Hastings to the 68-59 non­ conference win over their neighborhood rivals. That was the key because they out shot us from the floor." Saxon coach Denny O'Mara admitted. "We hit the free throws when we had to have them, and that is something we hadn't accomplished yet.” Delton's rookie coach Bob Prentice, coaching his first Delton-Hastings varsity game iike O'Mara, agreed that free throws were the key. When you play a team that hits 87 percent of their free throws, you have to make up the difference someplace else." Prentice said. "We fell down a little defensively and got beat on the weak side." A big second quarter for the Saxons sparked by forward Steve Del Cotto put Hastings up by 12 at halftime They must have hit about 60 percent in that quarter." Prentice said. "Del Cotto got the hot hand for them and hit the shots even when we got a hand in his face." Delton led 17-15 at the end of the first quarter but was outscored 26-12 in the second period. Delton rallied in the third quarter outscoring the Saxons 16-10 over the period, and at one point pulled within four points 55-51. But the Saxons reeled off five unanswered points at th? start of the final quarter and coasted tn for the win. "We had our usual letdown, this time in the third quarter." O'Mara said. "I was pleased with out overall performance though. For us Io win it takes five guys doing their jobs, and we did that this time around.” Del Cotto led the Saxons and all scorers with 25 points. Three other Saxons sparked a balanced attack with double figure outputs. Guard John Karpinski tossed in 15, guard Steve Morgan tallied 14 and forward Bruce Hartman dropped in 10 points for Hastings. Center Dave Barry led the Panthers with 22 points, and Chuck Simonovic added 13. Saxon center Dann Howitt led rebounders in the game with 10, but Delton won the board battle by a 35-26 count. The victory lifts the Saxons to the .500 mark for the first time this season at 4-4 overall. 2-2 in the Twin Valley. They return to Twin V illey action hosting Sturgis Friday. Delton falls to 4-3 on the season, 2-2 in the KVA They return to league action when they visit Bangor Friday. In other area games Tuesday: Soph.. Tracy Spillane.

Outdoor Report; Snow and cold temperatures are the dominant conditions in the great outdoors this week. Snow depths for the DNR District 12 in Southwestern Michigan range from over 10 inches at the Ft. Custer Recreation Area to four inches at the Yankee Springs Recreation Area in Barry County. Ice conditions have firmed up, but the DNR is still advising caution when venturing out on any of the district's lakes. Ice fishing conditions are relatively safe on most lakes and ponds throughout the district However, the DNR says that ice fishermen should remain very cautious near inlets and outlest of lakes and near springs. Barry County hotspots for ice fishermen are on Pine Lake (bluegills and pike). Middle I.ake <bluegills) and Gun Lake (bluegills, oerch and an occasional walleye). Deep Lake is producing fair catches of yellow perch. Last Friday. Jan. i closed out the archery deer and ruffed grouse season for another year Rabbitt season is still open and hunters are reporting fair success. The best success has bee in low wet areas where summer grass growth was most plentiful. Snowmobilers and cross country skiers are out doing their thing. Trail conditions are reported fair to good in most areas. The Gun lake Winter Festival will be held Jan 30. Snowmobile races, an ice fishing contest and cross country skiing are on tap. More information can be obtained by calling 616-792-2028. The following outdoor information is the first part of a series that will appear weekly­ in the Banner. The series deals with special Barry County topics and the information is supplied by John Lerg, DNR Biologist for Barry County. We learn when we are children that the birds fly south for the winter. It is not until we are older that we learn a few stay around. One of the birds that you can find in Barry during the winter perched on power lines and poles are the Kestrels, a small native hawk. Formerly known as the Sparrow Hawk, this member of the falcon family is fairly common throughout this part of Michigan. They prefer to live in open grassland eating insects throughout the summer, but when winter hits they go after mice. Since mice are most common along roads in heavy grass and brush that can withstand the weight of snow, the Kestrel becomes visible on his perch overlooking the roadside. The colorful bird has a sharp call that sounds like “killy, killy, killy". and is about the same size of a robin or mourning dove. Perhaps the most interesting fact about the Kestrel is the ability they have for hovering in mid-air. Only falcons and hummingbirds can perform that feat. Next weeks outdoor report will feature a look at the pine trees of Barry County. Kellogg left legacy of squirrels too W. K Kellogg brought more than cereal to Battle Creek, according to Robert Mainone from Michigan State University’s Kellogg Bird Sanctuary in Augusta. “As the story goes, in the early 1900s, W. K. Kellogg imported black squirrels to Battle Creek, possibly from Canada. There, for reasons still uncertain, these creatures of the deep forest made a phenomenal adaptation to city life,” Mainone said. Now becoming a more common sight in other areas of Michigan as well, the black squirrel is actually a gray squirrel by name. “The gray squirrel, like animals such as the black bear, snow goose and screech owl. can occur in several colors,” Mainone said, noting that a black squirrel may have gray brothers and sisters. During the states pioneer days when the land was covered with forests, gray squirrels accounted for about 80 percent of the state's squ>rrel population. Along with land clearing came the larger fox squirrel, which found the more open, semi-forested en­ vironment suitable to its way of life. Mainone explained. “Around the turn of the century, the land went through an incredible period of ex­ ploitation Market hunting, destruction of the original forest and the general belief that such an abundance of wildlife could never be depleted brought about the extinction of animals such as the Great Auk and Heath Hen," he says. By 1920, fox and gray­ squirrels had disappeared from much of the state. Conservation efforts intervened in the following years. Now. the gray squirrel is competing successfully with the larger fox squirrel, despite the inevitable hazards associated with moving from the forest to metropolitan areas. “Thanks to W. K. Kellogg a native American has been ac­ climated to city life," Mainone said.

Johnston Richard J. Guenther, 57, superintendent of Hastings schools since 1961, announced Monday that he will retire at the end of 1982. Guenther came to Hastings in 1953 to spend three years on a Kellogg Foundation research project dealing with the severely mentally retarded. “We moved to Hastings in the fall of 1953," he said, "thinking we’d live here for three years and ’eave." During that project, administered by the Michigan Departments of Education, Social Welfare, Health and Mental Health, Guen­ ther had the unusual opportunity of meeting monthly with the heads of each of those departments as a group to review his work. He also became closely associated with Clare Taylor, the state superintendent of schools, who he said was like a father to him. Taylor brought him into the Department of Education after the project ended in 195frto implement the results of his study. I he Guenthers continued to live in Hastings. One of the trustees of the Kellogg Foun­ dation at the time of his project was Lee Lamb, then superintendent of Hastings schools. Lamb was impressed with Guen­ ther's work and in 1958 asked him to join the Hastings staff in a newly created position of curriculum coordinator. “I had the unique privilege of working at Lee Lamb's side for three years,” Guenther said. "I consider him a brilliant, brilliant public relations person ” In the practical aspects of his work, Guenther said he learned more from Lamb than he did in college. Working as Lamb's assistant was a long way from where Guenther expected when he left the DeSoto assembly line to take a teaching position in special education. In fact, his entry into the special education field was a quirk of fate that changed his career. As a student at Eastern Michigan University (then Michigan Normal School), he was a member of the basketball team studying social studies and physical education, with a minor in English. "Dr. Francis Lord, the director of the special education department, was an avid sports nut," Guenther recalled. "I was walking across campus the day after Michigan Normal beat the University of Detroit for the first time in 20 years. Dr. Lord stopped me to talk about the game and in the conversation asked me what I was studying." Lord cautioned Guenther that he would never make a living as a coach and en­ couraged him to ss?n up for some classes in his department. Following Lord’s advice turned his career around. Though he com­ pleted his social studies and physical education majors, Guenther never coached a day. The Hastings Though he has worked in administration since coming to Hastings schools, Guenther has kept up his work in special education. He served as vice-president of the Michigan Association for Retarded Children in 1959-60; was president of the Michigan Council for Exceptional Children in 1950; served as a member and chairman of State Department of Education Committeess studying finan­ cing of special education in 1958, 1963 and 1967-68; was a member of the state Finance Sub-Committee of the Special Task Force studying special education in Michigan in 1977; was a member of the State Advisory Committee for Special Education from 1977 to 1981, which he chaired from 1979 to 1981; was chairperson of the State Administrators Coalition for Reviewing Proposed Special Education Rules and Regulations in 1979 through 1981; and was chairperson of the State Administrators Coalition for "relaxing” of State Mandated Special Education Rules in 1980-81. In 1959, as Lee Lamb was winding down his career, Guenther was named assistant superintendent in Hastings. He became acting superintendent in 1960-61 for half of a year and was named superintendent in 1961. Hastings had a student population of 2,000 resident and 500 tuition pupils when he first joined the staff. The school system, however, changed continved on pogo 8 Banner Devoted to the Interests of Barry County Since 1856 Vol. 127, No. 3 dramatically in the mid-1960's when 33 rural districts were annexed and those students all became resident pupils. "The reason we initiated the reorganization of the district in the mid1960's was that we knew we needed a building program,” the superintendent explained. "In order to intelligently predict the building requirements, we had to know the number of pupils." In 1964, the district undertook a $750,000 project to expand Northeastern and Southeastern Elementary Schools. In the fall of 1965, the district began a study on high school requirements which culiminated in a spring of 1967 vote to approve a $6 million project. When it came time to occupy the new building, the voters ap­ proved another millage proposal to increase the operating taxes by one-third to supply the money needed for the new building and equipment. "This put the system on a 25 to 1 pupil­ teacher ration in academics," Guenther said. “I consider to be a momentous decision for the voters." He called the high school building project a classic case of community involvement, with over 300 people working on it Hastings, Michigan Price 204 Thursday, January 21,1982 Hastings School Board changes date School millage election April 26th by Liz Kingsbury The Hastings Area Board of Education voted 4-2 to change the millage election date from March 15 to April 25 at their monthly meeting, Monday night. The school board also voted to release Richard J. Guenther, superintendent of schools, from his contract effective Dec. 13, 1982. "God willing, I will present the last of my nine children with her diploma, in June, as 1 have my other eight," Guenther said. Upon announcing his retirement, Guenther recalled leaving his $7,700 a year job on an assembly line at a DeSoto plant, in 1950, to teach mentally handicapped children for $3,300 a year. The Guenther’s had five children at the time. Guenther's fellow workers presented him with a briefcase, which he still carries today, and told him what "a dummy” he was for taking the $3,300 per year job. "They don't make DeSotos anymore,” Guenther joked. Winter Sparkle... Sunshine sparkling off snow frosted trees and squiggly tracks in the snow exemplify Barry County's winter beauty.

JoAnn Fluke suggested that the board change the millage election date to April 26, summing up the feeling among the board that it would give the board more time to design the ballot and educate the com­ munity. The board voted to drop the March 15 millage election date. Juc.th Lenz said that she was in favor of the May 10 date. "I was under the impression that the board was leaning toward the May (date)," she said. William Cotant said that May was his choice. "We need all the time we can to sell this thing," Cotant said. "Somehow the value of education has eroded away.” “I'm convinced that March is too soon, but I think May is too late,” said Dr. William Baxter. Robert Godfrey, a former school board president whom the board has ap­ prover to serve in Dr. John Walton's place until the June 14 election, agreed with Fluke's suggestion of the April 26 election date. Lenz and Cotant voted against the April date George Wibalda, Godfrey and Baxter voted in favor of it. Members of the audience, which included about 40 people, were divided between the March and May dates, prior to the vote. Opinions were divided on which date would be most conducive to getting the millage passed. Arthur McKelvey, principal of Pleasantview School, recommended the later date. "The problem that faces the board is that of educating the public," McKelvey said. Hugh Fullerton, a local citizen, said,"The important thing is not what passes the first time. He said that what is important is what is on the budget in September. "A lot of people think the schools are not in the trouble that they are," he added. "Merely educating the public is not enough — maybe you need to scare them. Maybe you have to sacrifice one millage to do it." He recommended that the board hold the election in March to get the "bloodbath" over with and still have time for another election while school is in session. "I am under the opinion that we took our bloodbath in August." Guenther said. “Why not take more time to pass the millage. It is my recommendation that we approach the millage on the basis that it must pass. (It is) my judgement that you'll not do it on March 15." Baxter told a member of the audience that millage elections must be scheduled about 50 days apart Members of the audience and the board were undecided about the ballot design. "The board is in a state of flux on the right thing to do." Baxter said."I don'' pretend to know and I don’t know if anyone knows exactly.” “If you present it (the issues on the ballot) in all or nothing package." Fullerton said. "They're going to say 'nothing', because they'll find somthing they don't like." Diane Hoekstra, an auditor at Hastings City Bank, said that splitting issues on a millage ballot can divide communities. She said that a ballot with split issues in Rock­ ford, her home community, resulted in only one item passing: bussing. Joseph Duffy, an office worker at Kendall Supply, asked, “If the board isn't sold on the 5.5 (mil! ballot design), what is your com­ promise?” ’We’ll tell you when we make up our mind,” Baxter responded. Asked if he felt the millage would pass, Baxter said,"I think we've got a problem. The people in the community don’t seem to w«ftit it. I’m not going to get up here and say it's going to pass." continued on pogo I 8-Hrs. overtime snow removal averages $7,500 If you happened to see county snow removal equipment busting through drifts last Sunday, it wasn’t a mirage. In recent years, overtime weekend plowing has been taboo because of blighted budgets except when roads literally have been blocked. However, the Barry County Board of Commissioners has agreed to reimburse the county road commission for emergency overtime for a two week period ending January 26 when the board will decide whether to set up a special fund to continue the weekend service when roads are hazardous. Overtime had been cut out of the road commission's budget because of its declining revenues. \ When the plows are spotted at work, the average citizen most likely doesn’t realize the expense involved. Costs to have road crews on the job for eight-hours of overtime plowing amounts to an average of $7,500, county road engineer­ manager Ron Lear told the board last week. That amount includes an estimated $3,000 for labor and $4,500 for equipment costs, he said in an interview Thursday. But it does not include the cost of sand or salt, fringes, or administrative expense, he said. The cost jumps another $10,000, counting fringes, if ice control with salt and sand are required for the eight hours of work, Lqpr said. Last Sunday, road crews worked nine hours just plowing and the overtime expense amounts to $8,600, he said. The figure for equipment cost is derived from a study done by an engineering firm for all 83 road commissions in the state Lear said. From the study, he can get an actual cost figure on how much expense is involved in operating each piece of equipment, in­ cluding gas. oil. and pro-rated maintainance and repair cost. Blades are quite an expense, he noted. "A set of blades cost $58 and when a truck is plowing gravel roads, you can burn up a set of blades in a day," said Lear. Tickets still available for annual Chamber meeting next Thursday Next Thursday’s annual dinner meeting of the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce will feature WOTV’s "On the Michigan Road" host, Dick Evans. Advance tickets for the event are available at the chamber office, 115 S. Jefferson St, or from chamber board members. Tickets arc $6 per person. The dinner-program will be held at the Elks Temple in Hastings, starting with a 6 p.m. social time, followed by a 6:30 p.m. dinner. Evans has been with WOTV and Radio since 1962. His "On the Michigan Road" series has taken him to ever)1 county in the state as well as to counties in surrounding states. He lias done approximately 1,950 individual stories, ranging from obscure numan interol features to essays on the most popular and most remote interest spots in and around Michigan. Friends of the Library fundraiser to aid Hastings Public Library To raise funds for their continuing programs aiding the Hastings Public Library, the Friends of the Library have set Saturday, Jan. 30 as the date for a dance at the Hastings Elks Temple, 121 N. Church St. The dance will be held from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. with music by Midwest. Tax deductible tickets are being sold for $20 per couple. Part of the evening's activities will be drawings for door prizes donated by a number of Hastings merchants. Among them are a free day of painting and wallpapering donated by McD Wallpaper and Painting, a macrame hanging wine holder donated by Barb’s Plant Boutique, and prizes from Riverbottom, Hastings Flower Shop, Grapevine. Books Etc., Boomtown Records, Music Center and Goodyear Bros. Im­ plements. The Friends plan to use some of the proceeds to sponsor a professional children’s theater group appearance in March and are investigating the purchase of a video system for the library. The Friends of the Hastings Public Library, who conduct monthly story hours for children, purchase library equipment and sponsor other programs, will hold a fundraising dance ot the Hastings Elks Temple on January 30.

Grace Schaibly was accompanied by Mrs. Vada Green, Paul Smith’s sister, of Hastings, the week before last when they went to Mr. Smith’s home at Torch Lake after he had suffered a heart attack. The ladies reported a very exciting and nervewracking trip. It stormed so hard much of the way up there that visibility was almost zero and finally ending up by getting stuck in the snow and having to be towed into town and then having to purchase a new battery before they could go any further. The Smiths have a beautiful home on the lake, her sister reports, and qualifies that statement by adding, "in the summertime." This time of year it seems all their neighbors have gone south and it’s a pretty lonesome place, especially when they are snowed in as they are at present. They are fifty miles from their doctor and Little Traverse Hospital at Petoskey where Paul was confined the past couple of weeks. He returned home Tuesday. Mrs. Schaibly returned to the home of her mother, Mrs. Roy Norton, last Wednesday and Friday went on to her own home at Waukegon, Ill. for an indefinite stay.

Their June 12,1982 wedding will be held at the St. Rcse of Lima Catholic Church in Hastings. letter to Editor, continued County Commission. The justification for this, as was “explained’’ to me is that, "We have to give them some benefits or they won’t work- for COA.” By the way. this holiday is one of 24 paid days off a year for these people. Something is wrong here. When it comes time to make the pitch to the county and Stale for funds to operate, the prime concern is the senior citizen The Senior Citizen cannot do without the bus on a full-time basis and they cannot possibly exist without the hot meal program daiiy. After all, it is the only hot meal some of these people get all day. Once the funds are allocated then they cannot operate without the benefits enjoyed by a unit with bargaining power or they won’t work. This makes me wonder where the concern really lies. My opinion, right or wrong, is that COA is operating a vital service funded by the taxpayers money and are not entitled to any benefits except possible staggered vacations. These ser­ vices should not be interrupted. If we are going to allow our senior citizens to become dependent on busing and hot meals, it should be done on a full-time bases. Otherwise not at all. I for one would like to see something done, about this waste of taxpayers’ money. If you agree, call your Commissioner.

Mrs. LeRoy Flessner was a Sunday af­ ternoon visitor at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Victor Sisson. in K Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Quada of Hastings will observe their 45th wedding anniversary Saturday, January 23. Clarence married the former Edith Maisner on January 23, 1937 in St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Marshall. The Quadas lived a short time in Marshall before moving to Hastings where they have lived on a farm on Center Road for the past 33 years.

They both have been active in St. Rose Church activities. Clarence at one lime was Grand Knight of the Hastings Knights of Columbus. she injured it several weeks ago when she fell on it while getting out of the bathtub, has disappeared. Is this a modern miracle? Three telephone calls of special interest originated from or came to our home recently and I'll pass brief comments about them on to you. On Christmas Day, Mrs. Sisson placed a call to a long time friend, a co-teacher in a Fairmount Ind. school about 50 years ago and whom she had not seen since she had played the piano at Mother Carter’s funeral in Fairmount in August, 1967. Miss Juanita Throckmorton was an only child and all her family is gone. She is alone in the world and now lives at the Wesley Manor at Frankfort, Ind. The telephone call was a surprise on Juanita and she was so pleased. The ladies had quite a gab fest. We did not go to church on Sunday, Jan. 10 and about the middle of the forenoon we received a call from Rev. H. V. Dskker from the Haven Park Rest Home in Zeeland. Rev. Dekker was the pastor of the Michigan Avenue Wesleyan Methodist Church in about 1948. We had corresponded with them since but the last we heard from them was just after Christmas 1979 through a grand­ daughter. At that time, Mrs. Dekker was in very pooi health and he was confined to his bed with a broken hip. This year at Christ­ mastime, I addressed a card to the home asking for information about them, afraid they would both be gone They gave the note to him and he told his wife that he was going to call us and she agreed that that would be a good thing to do and was anxious to know about their former friends in thir area. She is in bed most of the time and much of the time her mind wanders and she suffers a great deal of pain. He is practically blind and not able to get out at all and time hangs heavy on his hands. Rev. Dekker is 96 years old and she is a little younger. If Mr. and Mrs. Dekker live until April, they will observe their 79th wedding anniversary. Last Saturday, Mrs. Sisson had a telephone call from a John Bush of Riverside, Calif. He was a former resident of Fairmount, Ind. and she was his teacher in about 1930. She had forgotten about him but he had not forgotten her. He had gotten in touch with her brother, Willis, one of his classmates, in Greensburg, Ind., had gotten her address, had written to her, she had answered his letter and now this call. He said he’d rather pay the telephone bill than to pay the high postage for a letter. Incidentally, he got Miss mi 3?

The Great Lakes Region of the American Red Cross Blood Services began using the new bags this mon’h. James Egner, M.D., the region’s medical director, said that new storage bags allow platelets, the portion of blood which assist in clotting, to be stored for up to five days. Previously, platelets qnly had a useful life of three days. 'The new-bags will improve the region's management of blood products, as fewer units of platelet concentrates will outdate,” Egner explained. The Red Cross processes most of the blood it collects into the major blood components red cells, white cells, platelets and plasma. As a result, the blood from one donor can help three to four patients. Egner said that the new platelet storage bag was approved by the federal Food and Drug Administration and field-tested in several blood centers during the fall of 1981. “The field tests proved that plaleless stored in the new bag are able to function and survive adequately for up to five days,” Egner said. The new bags are made of a special plastic which allows a freer exchange of gases. Carbon dioxide is more able to excape from and and oxygen is more able to enter the new bag. “This freer exchange of gases helps control the accumulation of acid in bag,” Egner said. “In effect, the new bag allows lhe platelets to breathe better.” Acid is a waste product of platelets. In the old bags the acid accumulation began to kill lhe platelets after 72 hours, but the acid accumulation in the new bags is reduced allowing the platelets to remain viable for up to five days. The region’s first priority is to use the new bags for blood collections on Fridays. “Weekends have traditionally been a difficult period to manage the distribution of platelet concentrates due to their 72 hour shelf-life," Egner explained. “Platelets produced from blood collected on Fridays outdate by Monday and new platelets produced from early blood collections on Mondays are not available un*il late in the day.” The new bags which give platelets a fiveday shelf-life will help alleviate this problem considerably, the region plans to use the new bags for all platelet collections by May of 1982. Police administer CPR, save heart attack victim’s life Two local police officials and two passersby saved the life of a Hastings man, who suffered cardiac arrest in his car, Friday morning, at the intersection of Broadway and State Street. Carla Neil, of Hastings, was behind the car of the victim, Florian Salik, 60, 52! W. Walnut, when the ligt turned green and Salik's car rolled slowly into the intersection. “I saw him slump over and I ran to his car and found him unconscious,” Neil said. "I slammed his car in park and stood beeping his horn to get someone’s attention. "Nobody seemed to be doing anything." Neil then ran into the City Hall building and yelled for an ambulance. She also called Sgt. Richard Zimmerman of the Hastings Team of the Michigan State Police. Neil used to be Zimmerman's secretary. By lhe time Neil returned to the scene, Barry County Sheriff David 0. Wood was also at the intersection. Wood and Zimmerman tool Salik out of the car and onto the sidewalk and administered CPR. Tim Weingartz, of Middleville, who works as a respiratory therapist at Pennock Hospital, came to the scene, and offered his services. "Wood was on the mouth, Zimmerman was on the chest and I was counting," Neil said. Weingarz said that he was giving com­ pressions on Salik's chest. According to Zimmerman, Salik showed no signs of life. “His eyes were fixed, there was no pulse and no breathing," Zimmerman said. "By the two of us administering CPR on the gentleman, we were able to bring him back.” "They brought him around and then he stopped again,” Neil said. Zimmerman said that they revived Salik about three times before the Hastings Ambulance crew arrived. "I’m surprized that he was alive,” Weingarz said. He added that there was no color in Salik's face. The Hastings Ambulance crew ad­ ministered oxygen to Salik and took him to Pennock Hospital emergency room. Salik was reported in good condition at Pennock Hospital, at press time, Thursday. �COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JANUARY II. 1982 Common Council met in regulot session in th* City Council Chamber*. City Holl.

I �The Hastings Banner, Thursday, January 21,1982 - Page 6 Crime follows a pattern, local police say by Liz KingsburyAll branches of local law enforcement agencies agree that criminal activity follows a pattern thoughout the year. Some feel that criminal activity is in­ fluenced by the seasons, others feel that seasonal fluctuations in the county's population are also a factor. State, local and county law enforcement officials agree that there is a lull in criminal activity after the winter holidays. "If you are of the criminal element (during the winter) you have shoe prints," said Sgt. Richard Zimmerman of the Hastings Team of the Michigan State Police. "But this is not necessarily a oeterrent.” “Usually, when the cold weather sets in, you'll find a lull,” said Detective Dana Steidle of the Hastings City Police. “Your weather and snow have a lot to do 'with it. They’re a little leery of the snow being tracked. But on a really srowy night, you’ll get a lot.” Steidle said that occasionally a criminal will venture out on nights when you think no one would be out. Deputy Chief Gordon Trick of the Hastings Police Department said that criminal ac­ tivity begins to pick up in the later part of February and booms in March. “In the cold weather, they aren’t really pressured.” Trick said. “In another month, with income tax and time payments, it starts to pick up again.” Detective Sgt. Kenneth DeMott, of the Barry County Sheriff Department, said that the population of Barry County greatly in­ creases between Memorial Day and Labor Day, when people move into their summer cottages. DeMott said that the warm weather and the higher concentration of people in the county contribute to the increase in criminal activity during that period. After Labor Day, when people leave their summer cottages,“The biggest crime is larcenies," DeMott said. “Every winter I’ve been here it’s been the same,” said Zimmerman of the numerous breaking and enterings that occur in closed summer cottages. "When (people) have been living in these cottages for a number of years, they usually accumulate furniture and a TV set.” He added that people usually don’t haul everything back with them at the end of the summer. “Closer to the Christmas season, crime picks up," DeMott said. He added that a year-round problem in the county is rural crime. “Rural crime can range from a larce .y of live stock to B&E’s (breaking and en­ tering)," Demott said. “We’re in a rural community and we have an influx of people from bigger cities coming in and committing crimes.” He explained that it is easier to break into a house in an isolated area than to break into a store on Main street. “It’s then easier to take property to the bigger cities and dispose of it there than it is to dispose of it locally,” he added. "So far, knock on wood, we haven’t had a lot of homocides from the large metropolitan areas. Most homocides have been local people doing each other in." DeMott said that there is also a pattern among burglars. "The BiE'ers I’ve talked to look for one or no cars in the driveway,” he said. “They never go into a house with two cars in the driveway. If there is fresh snow on the ground, they can observe when cars have pulled up. “If the find a house they like, they pull up and someone would knock on the door. If there’s no answer, then boom! They went.” “If someone does answer the door,” DeMott added. “Then they’d simply ask directions. They really don’t draw suspicion.” Of crime patterns in the past year, Trick and Steidle said that there was an unusual amount of rapes and abductions. “Violent crimes were much higher last year," Steidle said. The annual report of the-Hastings Police Department shows that there were eight criminal sexual assaults, in 1961, with three arrests. One case is still open and four are closed. There were 10 assaults with a weapon, during the past year, with five arrests and one unfounded.

Court, early Monday morning. John Tripp, owner of Northside Pizza, 829 N. Michigan Ave., had made the deposit, at about 1 a.m., Monday morning, according to Hastings Police. Later that same day, Tripp said that an employee of the bank called him and told him that part of his deposit was missing. Two checks, totalling $25, were in the drop box, but the deposit slip showed that $395, in cash, was deposited along with the two checks. The report said that it is Tripp’s feeling, and the investigating officer Detective Dana Steidle agreed, that Tripp didn't get the envelope with the money far enough into the deposit slot Local law enforcement agencies reported the following accidents and incidents: — The Barry County Sheriff Department reported Sunday that a Rochester, N.Y. man was injured after the snowmobile he was riding hit a barbed wire fence.

McClintock reported the items missing between 9:45 p.m. and 12:15 a.m., Saturday, while the car was parked outside of McClintock's trailer when he was having a party. The property was discovered missing by a friend, Mike Hull, when Hull was about to take Mc­ Clintock’s car into town. The case is open pending further investigation. — The Hastings Team of the Michigan State Police reported two breaking and enterings, this past weekend, though not many details were available at press time. Susan Mesecar reported that her home, on State Street and Woodland, had been broken into between 4 and 6:30 p.m., Saturday. She said that an eight-track AM-FM stereo had been taken. On Sunday, Rev. Vaughn Drummond told state troopers that a house, owned by the Wesleyan Church, on Campground Road, Hastings, had been broken into between Jan. 12 and 17. Arson suspected at area home Arson is suspected by, police and fire of­ ficials, after the home of a Yankee Springs couple burnt down in the early morning of Jan. 14. The Hastings Fire Department answered the cal1 to the home of Murray and Alice Roth, 7440 Gun Lake Rd., Yankee Springs Township. Hastings firefighters then called the Middleville Fire Department because the home was in its service area. Sgt. Richard Zimmerman of the Hastings Team of the Michigan State Police said that there might haye been a breaking and en­ tering before the house burnt down around 5 a.m., last Thursday morning. The two-story wood frame house was totally destroyed after the second floor collapsed into the first floor, according to Zimmerman and Middleville Fire Chief Robert Kenyon. The damage estimate was unavailable at press time. , Kenyon said that it took roughly two hours and 20 minutes to put out the fire. The case remains under investigation. Jobless rate dips in Barry and Calhoun counties The jobless rate for November of 1981 dipped slightly compared to October's figure, according to a recent report from the Michigan L’nemplojment Security Com­ mission. MESC statistics show the November unemployment rate is 9.5 precent compared to 10 percent in October. Though the jobless rate for November 1980 was higher, 13.3 percent, total employment for that period was 10,700 compared to. 7,800, this ye -’s total employment. v Total employment for October, 1981 was 8,300. On the state level, unemployment climbed in five of Michigan’s 13 major labor market areas during November, according to estimates released last Thursday by MESC Director S. Martin Taylor. Michigan's November jobless rate rose to 11.8 percent from 11.5 percent in October. The number of unemployed workers grew by 9,000 to 521,000. Taylor reported that unemployment rates dropped in eight areas during November with Bay City, Saginaw, and Muskegon recording the highest drops. These drops, however, resulted primarily from declines in the number of workers in area labor forces. In fact, Taylor explained, all labor market areas, except for Kalamazoo and Jackson, reported drops in their overall employment levels. The Ann Arbor area had the largest unemployment increase, as its rate jumped to 10.9 percent in November from 7.6 percent, in October. Substantial layoffs in the area’s transportation equipment industry ac­ counted for the rise. Flint, which had the state’s highest jobless rate at 16.2 percent, also suffered heavy auto related layoffs. In addition to drops in auto related em­ ployment in some areas, the construction industry experienced seasonal job losses.

The $300 check wraps up the donations the Knights have presented from the money they collected during their 1981 “Tootsie Roll" drive. The Knights are planning their 1982 drive for April 2, 3 and 4 over the Palm Sunday weekend. Last year they collected $1,650 in the Hastings area. This year’s drive marks the Centennial year of the Knights and they have set a goai of $2,000. Planning and Zoning Departments to shoulder heavier workload by Liz Kingsbury The workload at the Barry County Plan­ ning and Zoning department will increase due to the elimination of a full and part-time position. Winifred Keller, director, and her secretary, Pam Weyerman will be absorbing the duties of Beverly Brooks, a clerk-typist who had to be laid off. As of April, David Koons, building official and assistant zoning administrator, will be working part-time. “This was his wish because he was returning to college,” Mrs. Keller said. “But it happened anyway.” The 1981 budget for the department was $85,278. For 1982, Planning and Zoning requested $93,417 and received $64,265. The one and one-half layoffs will save the department $22,600. Other provisions being made to ac­ commodate for the budget reductions in­ clude curtailing some of the Planning Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals meetings and cutting the office supplies budget in hah. “I feel that the Planning Commission is hampered the most,” Mrs. Keller said. "(They're) trying to get the mobile home ammendment through and it requires more meetings," she said. People are going to have to make ap­ pointments to obtain permits since the of­ ficials will be on the road inspecting plans to issue permits. In April of 1981 the department laid off its zoning enforcement officer, because the budget was lirrited. "In a year, the office has laid off two and a half people,” Mrs. Keller said. “We’re more than a zoning office. -"We issue building, electrical and soil erosion permits.” Kensinger Jones chairman of the Barry County Planning Commission listed projects in the works for 1982. Planned projects are getting the Manufactured Housing Ammendment into the ordinance, having the County re-activaie the overall economic development planning committee in conjunction with the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce and developing, in conjunction with the Sheriffs office and the Prosecutor, the proper or­ dinance in relation to public meetings. Also in the works are taking another look at the Barry County Land Use Plan and making sure the commission makes the proper provisions for possible economic development in the areas of commercial and industrial zoning and prompting the development of a "package" which would promote the county as a recreational area.

When we reach the ceiling of our careers, our success is dependent on the concerns, interest and help of others." Guenther added that he has had the op­ portunity to work with a “very gracious, interested and dedicated school board, staff and parents.” During his years in Hastings, he said the district has achieved some tremendous gains in special education instruction and now has complete services for the exceptional child. Counselling services have been added for the students along with a number of course of­ ferings. He said that students have a good cross section of elective courses to choose from now. “The biggest disappointment to me,” he continued, “is that we have been unable to fully provide vocational services. We’ve done the best that we can. But with the Calhoun and Kent county skill centers nearby, it’s very disappointing that our students didn’t have the opportunit}' to participate." Hastings voters turned down a proposal to join the Calhoun Intermediate School District in 1974, which *ould have made that county skill center available. The retiring superintendent said he is not disappointed that he has to leave the district at a time when financial problems are for­ cing cutbacks in programs that were pain­ stakingly developed. He said that he recognizes that the problems are not unique to Hastings, but affect all facets of life in the state. "Locally,” he continued, “we recognised (the financial problems) about six months before the others started to talk about it. Sure, it’s a disappointment that we couldn't maintain the programs. But I understand the need for belt tightening. What’s on the (upcoming millage ballot) does not restore what we had, only part of it." Guenther said that a message schools need to convey is that while school taxes average 65 to 80 percent of the property tax bill, they are less than ten percent of a person's total tax bill. "That’s the message we as school people need to get across,” he said. He added that people don’t realize the tax reduction that they get from the homestead tax exemption because they have to pay the property tax, then get a refund later. He suggested that the system be changed so that the money is saved by the taxpayer when the property taxes are paid. Guenther also has ideas about changes in school financing. "I know that if wt go strictly to the income tax method, it’s subject to the ups and downs of the economy,” he explained. "On the other hand, such weight on property as is currently applied is not entirely correct. Property is no longer an indicator of wealth. Valuations keep going up and up and up, but that doesn’t mean that incomes go up." He suggested that a combination of property tax and income tax be adopted to finance Michigan schools. One thing that has developed from the difficult economic times for schools is an increased interest by the people of the district. Initially, their interest may be money, he said, but they also get involved in programming. “It may be more difficult for the superintendent,” -he said, “but that's a healthy thing. I hope people won’t lose in­ terest. I hope they keep it up.” Guenther said the job of the administrators and the board is to develop understanding for the people because when they don’t un­ derstand, they don’t trust. “As a very young person moving into education,” he pointed out, “I learned quickly to develop a healthy respect for the other guy’s point of view. Anyone that’s had an idea or a concern that they felt was im­ portant, 1 thought should be addressed." In 1968, to foster communication in the district, the citizens Committee of 33 was formed to represent all of the annexed districts. Originally, 11 members were asked to serve and to find two other representatives of their area. The committee continues to function, referring questions and complaints from residents to administrators. The committee remains self-appointed. Guenther said that the committee has never been asked to take a political stand and only has beer, asked to remind people to vote. The superintendent remarked that he has enjoyed the public relations part of his job and has made an effort to solicit other points of view. “I personally get around a lot downtown,” he joked. “I’ve even developed a modest proficiency in pool," he said referring to his membership in the Hastings Elks Lodge. Guenther also pointed to the school staff as being a source of help in communicating and developing programs. ' "Some of the truly exciting things in our curriculum have been from the staff," he said. Since 1968, he has held regular meetings with staff representatives and student representatives on the day of school board meetings to discuss problems. Guenther is looking forward in June to presenting a diploma to the last of his nine children, Barbara "Bunny", 17, who is planning to attend Central Michigan University next year. His other children are Jeffery, 19, a sophomore at CMU; Robert, 21, an airport employee at Hilton Head, S.C.; John, 23, of Crete, Ill., a Chicago construction employee; Kristine, 31, of Madison, Wis., a teacher in a private school who attended Michigan State University; Greta, 32, of Madison, Wis., a nurse who holds a health education degree; Richard Charles "Chuck", 34, who holds a master's degree from MSU and is ad­ ministrator of special education at Alpena; Annette, 35, of Paw Paw, who holds an education degree from Western Michigan University and is currently at home with her four children, including triplets; and Patricia, 37, of Crete, Ill., who is a teacher of special education and holds a master's degree from Indiana University. His wife, Elizabeth, died in 1973. Guenther sa<d that he has no special plans for his retirement and has no plans for getting directly involved in any govern­ mental activities The most critical thing on his agenda for 1983 is to head to his cottage up north and get nis snowmobiles a little better in tune. Milleage Election, continued from pg. 1 Guenther announced that the deadline for turning in petitions for the June 14 school board election is 4 p.m., April 5. Running for the two years remaining of Dr. John Walton s term are Ted Bustance and Marshall Cappon. Running for four-year terms are John Warren, Diane Hoekstra and Mike Trahan. Ronald Miller is also running, but hasn’t determined which term to run for Guenther said Wednesday that since Monday, Joseph Daniel has turned in a petition. L’ke Miller, Daniel has not decided which term to run for. The board also appointed a special Millage Steering Committee that would develop plans and procedure for the millage promotion. Serving on the committee, whese first session coincided with the Monday's school board meeting, are Kay Forman, Kay Loftus, Jane Russell, Lynn McConnell, Wes Robinson and Mike Trahan. School board members, who volunteered to serve on the committee include Judith Lenz and William Baxter. Alternates include George Wibalda and JoAnn Fluke. The board also voted to ratify the threeyear secretaries contract. Robert C. Miller, administrative assistant for non-instruction, presented the contract to the board. "About a month ago, the secretaries ratified their contract at (their) last meeting," Miller said. Miller said that there were 28 changes to clarify the language of the contract. In the three years, he said, there is no increase in fringe benefits and the definition of immediate family has been reduced. The secretaries have agreed to a wage freeze for the school year and a 9.5 percent wage increase for 1982-83 and 1983-84. Graduation has been scheduled for 8 p.m., Friday, June 4.

All they have to do to keep their house warm is to keep the wood burning stove full of cordwood. Though the finishing touches have to be done, the Bergs have built a two-bedroom house, which is located on 1075 Barber Rd., with a combination of solar and earth in­ sulation. Jack Berg, who started building the house in August of 1980, said he used a combination of old and new world techniques. The new technique is solar energy, Berg txplained. He and his wife have only put windows on the South side of the house, to retain heat from the sun. The old world technique is cordwood masonry. One of the books the Bergs used as a guide for building was "Cordwood Masonry Houses: A Practical Guide for the OwnerBuilder" by Robert L. Roy. Roy’s book gives a historical perspective on cordwood or stackwall masonry. "In Siberia, the and in the northern areas of Creece, stackwall structures estimated to be 1,000 years old are still standing. Yet no one is certain where it all began," the book said, quoting an article by David Square. Roy and Square hypothesize that the Vikings built a round house with cordwood and plenty of clay and then, before roofing, built a huge bonfire within the structure - or around its edges - and "vitrified" the walls, welding wood and clay into one big wall. "A similar technique was used to vitrify earthen forts in ancient Britain,” Roy said in his book. Jack made the walls by making wall sections out of masonry, cordwood and twoby-fours. He compared the process of making the wall sections to setting bricks. The sections are 16 inches thick, Jack said. "You need straight logs to make a cabin,” Berg said. "But you can use any wood to make a wall section.” Jack used concrete fo.ms between the wall sections to hold the houce up. The Berg's house also has earth insulation because three of the four walls are in the earth, somthing like a basement. Jack made the other three walls by slip forming. "It was popular during the Depression," he said. Like making large bricks, Jack poured rocks and concrete into wooden forms to make the slip forms, and stacked them to make the walls. "Three of the four walls in the house don’t need siding," Berg added. Though the Bergs had a little help with the excavation and the electricical work, they Jock and Betsy Berg's house, located on 1075 Barber Read, Hastings, Is o combination of solar and earth Insulation techniques. The wall on the southern tide of the Berg’s house is made of cordwood masonry — a combination of wood, cement and mortar. The house is designed for maximum energy efficiency. Jack Berg works on his project for his solar technology doss which Is offered at Hastings High School.

Jack put up the walls and served as "plummer", while Betsy built all the cabinets, did all the wiring and put up one partition. As soon as motivation will allow, the Bergs will put up trim on the outside, drywall on the inside and finish a the bedrooms and a permanent greenhouse. The unfinished bedrooms presently serve as a temporary greenhouse. Both Bergs had a different answer to the question, "When will the house be finished?" Jack said,“The house proper should be done within a year." Betsy said that the house never will be completely finished. "Ask anyone who’s built one,’’ she said. The house has come a long way since November of 1980, when the Bergs first moved in. "It was really a scramble the first year,’’ Jack said. "There was so much that needed to be done. We’ve never done anything like this before.” Each building task was a somthing new for the Bergs. "You get a job, go to the library and study it, ’ Betsy explained. "Then you come home and do it." The Bergs did run into a problem when they were building their house When they first moved in, it rained and the freshly dirt behind the three windowless walls caused a moat to form around the house. Jack said that water also got into the un­ derground chimney and they were almost flooded out. Jack said. "Adding gutters helped this," he said. Though they are still doing dishes in the bathroom sink. Betsy says,"We are actually weekend builders at this point." Another added benefit to owning an earth and solar insulated house is economic security. "We are in the situation that if we lost our jobs, there would be no mortgage payment to make," Jack said."We grow our own vegetables and we need virtually no fuel except wood." Betsy works as a chemist at a Grand Rapids sewage treatment plant. Although Jack presently works on a turkey farm, he hopes to eventually help people build houses and work on windows during the winter..He has been contracted to build a houSe for a friend this summer. Jack feels that his house was very inex­ pensive to build as well as to heat. "Everything I’ve done is designed to get the most for the least,” Jack said."The stone is free, the cordwood is free, and everything we pay for is paid for once.” The Bergs also used a simple one-story, four-wall construction with a low, shed-type roof to cut costs. Not including the well and septic tank it cost the Bergs about $20,000 to build their house. "If you live in a city, $20,000 isn’t even a down payment," Jack said. "With the cost of energy, it’s cheaper to tear down a run down house and build somthing efficient than to pay for fuel," Jack said. Jack advises potential house builders tb take the class offered at Hastings High School on solar technology. Court of Appeals asks county to justify apportionment by Feb. 1 The Michigan Court of Appeals has or­ dered the Barry County Apportionment Commission to submit documents, by February 1, defending its recently adopted reapportionment plan which reduces the number of county commissioner districts from 11 to seven. The court of appeals is reviewing the courity’s plan because of a petition, filed by Emmet Herrington, challenging it on the grounds that the reapportionment com­ mittee did not strictly adhere to the guidelines for apportionment according to law. Of ’he six reapportionment plans con­ sidered by the commission, the plan adopted has the highest population deviation ratio of all, noted Herrington, a former county commissioner. The adopted plan has a variation of 379 people from the highest populated district to the lowest. County Prosecutor Judy Hughes, who is a member of the reapportionment com­ mission, said Chief Assistant Prosecutor Dale Crowley will represent the commission in defending the plan to the court. Mrs. Hughes has said she could not defend the plan before the court because she voted against it when it was adopted hy a majority vote of 3-2. She and Richard Reyff, who also serves on the commission, voted against the plan because they did not believe that it met the Constitutional ideal of having as nearly as possible equal population districts. Approving the plan were Norval Thaler, Elsie Furrow, and Wendell Strickland. Membership on the commission is set by law to include the county prosecutor, clerk, treasurer, and the county chairmen of the Democratic and Republican parties. Reapportionment is required by law every 10 years, after each census, to reflect changes in population. Any citizen has the right to challenge an adopted plan. Mrs. Furrow has said she voted for the adopted plan because it was compact and would be the most economical and efficient to implement Other plans submitted had more complicated boundaries and split a number of townships. Thaler and Strickland favored the adopted plan because they opposed cutting up districts and complicating election procedures. Chief Assistant Prosecutor Crowley is in the process of accumulating documents and preparing to answer the court’s requests, Mrs. Hughes said. At this time, he has not asked Tor an extension of time and oral arguments concerning the matter have not been requested. In asking the local apportionment com­ mission to show cause why its plan of ap­ portionment should not be declared invalid or unconstitutional under applicable statutes and constitutional provisions, the court has asked for: —• Justification for all population variances from equality, no matter how small, in each district of the adopted plan. — A complete set of census materials which the commission received from the Secretary of State. — A complete set of the minutes of the meetings of the apportionment commission and a copy of the adopted plan as well as copies of all plans * submitted for con­ sideration. — Specific reasons for the commission’s rejection of each plan submitted to them for their consideration. — A written reply to any additional issues raised in the petition for review. Herrington, who favors a five-member county board, has said his underlying con­ cern in filing an appeal of the plan is his “interest in better county management." If the court of appeals determines that the county’s apportionment plan is invalid or unconstitutional, it will order the local commission to go through the process cf adopting a new plan.

And the gifts, community and business information I bring will save your family time and money. Let me hear from you soon 795*7962 In their opinion... Last week our public opinion column asked two questions: “What does a quality education mean to you?’’ and “Can we afford to provide a quality education in cur public schools?’* As a follow-up on that column, we have asked Richard Guenther, Hastings superintendent of schools; Dr. William Baxter, president of the Hastings Board of Education; and Mariam Sorby, president of the Hastings Education Assocation; to provide their own answers to the questions. Richard J. Guenther What does a quality education mean to you? Most people immediately mention the basics — the prime academics necessary to perform successfully in the world of work and life itself. These are most important. However, other courses, experiences and activities are also important We must provide an atmosphere that results in a child developing a healthy attitude towards work and life — getting there on time, an hours work for an hour pay, the dignity in all work and respect for one’s fellow man. These are cooperative efforts between the school, church and home. Because of the emphasis on the latter (attitudes, etc.) quality education varies between school, counties and states. Quality education in the Hastings Area School District is exactly what our citizens thru their School Board decide to teach and provide for their children. Can we afford to provide a quality education in the public schools? In normal economic times — yes’ Currently, during this major recession, nearly all schools are belt-tightening and will probably have to continue to do so for several years. With rare exception, the school property tax is the only tax a citizen has the privilege to cast a vote. School taxes, on an average constitute anywhere from 65,to 80 percent of a citizens winter tax bill. However, on an average, if one computes all the taxes you pay (direct and indirect) to local, state and federal governments, the school tax is less than 10 percent of one’s total tax for a year. Can we afford a quality education in our public schools? Certainly! In times of economic stress, we must re-examine our priorities. Dr. William D. Baxter What does a quality education mean to you? Education is defined as "the development of knowledge, skill, ability or character by teaching, study or experience." • Quality education produces graduates able to enter the job market as productive employees or to enter college or trade school academicaUy well prepared. It produces mature, responsible adults. It allows young people the opportunity to develop their natural physical facilities, up-to-date materials, a strong administration, caring teachers and well-planned non-academic activities. Can we afford a quality education? We not only can afford a quality education, we must. We are enjoying a society produced by people who afforded a quality education. Summer-Fest dates are set A line-up of fun-filled events plus some new ad­ ditions will be part of Hastings 5th annual Sum­ mer-Fest, set for August 27 and 28. Summer-Fest is sponsored by the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce and planning for the event has been a year-round activity. John Warren, general chairman of Summer-Fest, said that one of the new attractions of this year’s event will be geared for bike enthusiasts. The Barry County fairgrounds will be used as the base for the bike events which will involve bike tours of various lengths. No racing events are planned. Warren said he expects arts and crafts entries to number more than 100 at this summer’s event Plans also call for children’s activities to be expanded. Basically, Summer-Fest will again feature popular events of past years. Some rearrangement of use of the courthouse grounds for the event is being planned to enhance the entertainment which will be provided.

Our parents and grandparents weren’t content for us to have things the way they had them. They wanted things better. With this heritage, how can we allow our children and grandchildren any less. Mariam Sorby What does a quality education mean to you? The Hastings Education Association believes that a quality education should provide the opportunity for all children of our school district to build a solid educational foundation so that they may develop to their greatest potential for responsible citizenship which includes the ability tc meet life’s competitions and positively contributing to our society. We also believe that this opportunity for "quality" is best accomplished by providing our children with individual attention from well prepared educators through small class size, adequate supplies including textbooks, well maintained and up-to-date equipment, and a well coordinated curriculum. Can we afford to provide a quality education in our public schools? The question is not can we afford a quality education, but can we afford not tc provide quality education for the children of our district? Our young people must compete with graduates of other schools for jobs, and college admissions, plus be able to cope with today’s changing world. If we do not provide the quality education our children need and (deserve) today, both our children and society will suffer tomorrow. Schools are not like industry. In business and industry, when profits are down because the product is not selling, lay-offs and other cuts result in less production and a monetary savings. For example, car manufacturers can reduce the number of cars produced without affecting quality. In education, when money is not available and lay-offs end other cuts take place, the remaining educators are expected to put out as many quality students as in the past. It simply cannot be done. Quality education does not cost, it pays. What some famous leaders haves^id about education. Franklin D. Roosevelt: “The school is the last expenditure upon which America should be willing to economize," Dwight I?. Eisenhower: "It is the right of every American from childhood on to have access to knowledge. John Q. Adams: "The whole people must take upon themselves the education of the whole people and be willing to bear the ex­ pense of iL” John F. Kennedy: "A child miseducated is a child lost." Lyndon B. Johnson: "At the desk where I sit, I have learned one great truth. The an­ swer for all our national problems — the answer for all the problems of the world — comes to a single word. That word is education.” H.G. Wells, noted English author, "Civilization is a race between education and catastrophe." Margaret Mead, noted anthropologist: "We are now at the point where we must educate people in what nobody knew yesterday and prepare in our schools for what no one knows yet, but what some people must know tomorrow." Aristotle: When asked how much educated men were superior to those uneducated, Aristotle answered, "As mush as the living are to the dead.” Township of Yankee Springs TmUi* M - 2M N.

A crowd of dignitaries, old hockey heros, and media members that at times seemed to outnumber the spectators made their way to the cereal city to help kick-off hockey’s arrival. Teams representing the People's Republic of China, Japan and Canada joined a United States squad on the "new ice", and while the stands were not always full, the press'area was standing room only. Reporters, photographers, television and radio crew?, and many other members of the state's west side media attended the colorful hockey humdinger, as promoter Bill Spagnolo put it. Promotion has made the Super Bowl a major sports spectacle, perhaps the biggest sporting event of the year in the United States. And if promotion is the key to success for sporting events, hockey is in good hands in Battle Creek. Spagnolo makes it sound like the tour­ nament is as big as th#* Super Bowl already, and his enthusiasm is rubbing off on everyone involved. He has hockey great Gordie Howe in­ volved, the publisher of a Battle Creek daily newspaper and his staff involved, ametuer hockey organizations involved, and of course the Kellogg Foundation. Like the New York Yankees of the past, he has his own “Murderers Row” of heavyweight sluggers, and that makes H look like a winner. The size of the crowds has been the only drawback, but the Super BgwI started out with less than capacity crowds too. It won’t have that problem this weekend, and hockey won’t have that problem down the road in Battle Creek either. Just wait until the junior programs get off the ground and give local citizens a look at hockey. Like the National Football League, the sport will do a lot to sell itself. Besides, the heavyweights involved in Hockey In­ ternational would not have taken the steps without checking the turf ahead carefully. It all comes back to the Spagnola attitude. He believes hockey will make it and with the tournament and the facility as evidence the day of reckoning will soon be at hand. Representative Howard Wolpe Ord district) sounded like a Spagnolo follower Tuesday, when he called the tournament another sign of the "international significance this city has acquired” The ice was full of international significance Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. The teams from the Peoples Republic of China, Japan and Canada, their ambassadors, dignitaries and Governor William Milliken all paid their respect to Battle Creek this week.. Hot air balloons made the city a center of attention during the summer and now hockey' is grabbing a little "Super Bowl week" limelight this winter. Move over Pontiac and the Super Bowl, make room for Battle Creek and Hockey International. Saxon wrestlers drop Albion — In dual action last week the Hastings Saxon wrestling team notched a 45-29 win over Albion, but in tournament action Saturday, only two Saxons placed at the Eaton Rapids Wrestling Invitational and as a result the Saxons brought up the rear with 23'7 team points. The host team topk the top honors with 167 points in the eight team tournament at Eaton Rapids High. Jim Bolo at 112 pounds and John Lenz at 167 pounds, were Saxons that placed in the tournament. Bolo fashioned a 1-2 record on the day for his four th place finish and Lenz produced a 22 showing for his. Three other Saxons won single matches in the day long event. Hiey were David Kensignton, a 198 pounder, Ken Redman, a 138 pounder and Hutch Clason, a 119 pounder. Other Saxons that wrestled include Bill Madden, 98 pounds, Paul Hauschild 105, Bob Forbes 126, Chuck Prucha 132, Larry Hoff­ man 155, and Jon Douglas .185. Dave Milheim, a 138 pounder from Eaton The Trojans of Thomapple-Kellogg High had to fight back from a four point deficit to trim a determined Wayland Union quintet in Tuesday's basketball action. Trailing by two going into the final quarter, the Trojans outscored the Wildcats 16-7 over the final period and came out on top 59-54 in the non-league tilt. “They played very well and I'm glad we don’t have to play them again,” Trojan Coach Skip Pranger said. “They cooled off in the fourth quarter and that helped us get the lead.” . Wayland mistakes also helped the Trojans take the lead. With four minutes remaining Wayland held a two point lead. That diminished when Trojan forward Brian Miller worked inside for a layup and was fouled. A technical foul was called on a Wayland player and Miller hit the foul shot and the technical shot to put the Trojans up by a pair. “That was a key play," Pranger admitted. “It gave us the lead and the ball and put the FRIDAY, JAN. 22 DELTON visits Kzoo Christian HASTINGS hosts Marshall LAKEWOOD hosts Fremont MAPLE VALLEY visits Vestaburg MIDDLEVILLE hosts Comstock Park Maple Valley. 50 Wayland .... 54 — Delton............48 Lakewood... 35 Hastings High Sports Schedule Thursday, Jan. 21 (Tonight) Hastings wrestling at Coldwater Fridyy, Jan. 22 Hastings volleyball at Hillsdale Hastings /olleyball vs. coldwater Hastings basketball hosts Marshall Saturday, Jan. 23 Hastings basketball at Jackson N.W.

His output is the highest by a single Trojan this season. Steve Scott was also in double figures for the winners with 15 points, and Jim Schipper helped the offense with four steals and 12 assists. The Trojans grabbed 14 more rebounds than Wayland with the front line all grabbing their share. Miller, center Jeff Kerber-and forward Bill Schwartz each grabbed eight caroms in the game. The two teams played even in the first quarter but the Trojans gained control in the second quarter and led by five at halftime. Wayland went wild in the third quarter outscoring the Trojans 22-13 and taking control of the game. They hit 11 of 13 field goal attempts in the quarter and stayed in front until the midway point of tiie final period. After Millers four point play, thanks to the technical, the Trojans added three to the two point edge and held on to win. The win lifts the Trojan record to 8-1 overall, 4-1 in the OK-Blue. They re*’irn to league action hosting Comstock Park on Friday. In other Barry County games Tuesday: . Pennfield 54 Delton 48 A cold second half shooting spell and some sloppy defense by the Delton-Kellogg Pan­ thers enabled Battle Creek Pennfield to overcome a 12 point deficit and win a 54-48 non-conference battle on the road. For the last three minutes of the third quarter, and the first three minutes of the fourth quarter, the Delton Panthers had trouble finding the basket. Meanwhile the Panthers of Pennfield found the hoop on their end of the court for eight points straight at the start of the fourth quarter and went on to outscore Delton 17-8 in the period and take the victory.

In the dual victory over Albion on Thur­ sday, four Saxons pinned their opponents to ’ead the way. John Lenz at 167, Ken Redman at 145, Bob Forbes at 126 and Jim Bolo at 112, put their opponent's shoulders on the mat to key the team scoring. , Two of the Saxon w inners, Lenz and Bolo, took just 1:50 of the match to pin their Wildcat counterpart. Lenz dropped Randy Albin and Bolo pul down Chip Hanlon. It took Redman 1:59 to pin his man and Forbes had to battle 3:05 to pin his opponent. One other Saxon, 119 pounder Hutch Clason, contributed to the team score by Middleville tops fiesty Wayland Union Scoreboard Tuesday’s cage results... Here are his picks and comments for Friday's contest and the Hastings game on Saturday. Delton 53 Kzoo Christian 51 The Panthers will hang in the tough KVA race by pulling off an upset in Kzoo town. Marshall 55 Hastings 49 Without the big man in the middle, the Saxons will find Marshall to hard to handle. Lake wood 65 Fremont 57 The Vikings seem to find a way to win at home and in the Tri-River. Friday’s game will not change that. Maple Valley 70 Vestaburg 62 The Lions will shoot better than Tuesday and stay tough in the TCAA race. Compu-jock is hot! He picked all four games right Tuesday and has zoomed to a 3211 mark for the season, a .744 percentage. He is fired up for Sunday's Super Bowl and has picked San Francisco to win 21-14. Meanwhile, the sports-editor says the Bengals will be the winner by a 17-14 score. We will see on Sunday, and as for high school basketball we shall see on Friday if C.J. can climb closer to that 80 percent mark in the sky. Bob Prentice said. Delton held a 12 point lead at one point in the first half at 27-15, but Pennfield pulled off their first string of points to make it 27-25 at halftime. Delton had a three point lead al the tnd of three periods but the cold spell set in and, Pennfield went on a tear. Pennfield hit 12 of 17 free throws in the game to aid their cause while Delton was held to just four of seven attempts Dave Barry led Delton with 17 points and 8 rebounds in the game. Gary Chantranne was the only other Panther in double figures with 10 points. Ken Francisco turned in a good floor game with five points, three steals and three assists. The loss drops Delton to 5-4 on the season, 3-2 in the KVA. They go up against first place Kalamazoo Christian on Friday in Kalamazoo. Ionia 60 Lakewood 35 The Lakewood Vikings stayecKwith the third rated Ionia Bulldogs for three quarters Tuesday, but it was that fourth quarter that caused problems. Ionia exploded scoring 29 points in the final quarter compared to the Lakewood output of nine and eased past the Vikes 60-35. Lakewood played the Bulldogs even in the first half and the score was knotted at 24 at halftime. Only 13 points were scored in the third quarter, nine of them by Ionia and the Vikes were down by five entering the final frame. But a Viking defense that had kept the Bulldogs from taking control all evening couldn’t handle Ionia when they went to a four corner game and drove the lane. “We played good basketball for three quarters, but they got hot, spread us out and we couldn't stop them," Coach Roily Krauss reported. “I was disappointed in the officiating too," he added. "They didn’t call anything and with their size it helped them inside even more." Each team went to the free throw line eleven times in the game. Todd Gorsuch led Ionia with 17 points and Jeff Duits led Lakewood with 15. Middleville 60 Comstock Park 50 The Trojans are quietly establishing themselves as a team to be looked at in the Class C rankings. Comstock Park will see why. Saturday Hastings 51 Jackson Northwest 49 The Saxons will work and work and work and it will pay off. The Vikings lost the rebound battle to the taller Bulldogs by a 28-26 count. Tom Eckstrom led the Vikes with 10 rebounds and also added 8 points. The loss drops the Vikes to 5-5 on the season, all five wins coming in league play. The Vikings entertain Tri-River foe Fremont on Friday. Ionia runs their record to 100. Caledonia 65 Maple Valley 50 The Maple Valley Lions lost because of the percentages—shooting percentages. Hitting only 28 percent of their shots from the field and 57 percent of their free throws, the Lions froze up and dropped s. non­ conference battle to the Caledonia Fighting Scots. The Lions stayed in the bailgame in the first half but a five point third quarter put Caledonia in front to stay. It was the poorest shooting night of the season for the Lions, Coach Jerry Reese reported. The Lions didn't score a basket in the third quarter until just two minutes remained, and then did a repeat performance not scoring in the final quarter until the three minute mark. The Lions hit only 7 of 37 shots in the second half. Jeff beebe led the Lions with 12 points aud Tony Dunkelberger added 10. , The loss drops the Lions to 6-4 on the season, 5-1 in the TCAA. On Friday they travel to V^taburg. KC holding free throw The Hastings Knights of Columbus Council 3447 are planning their annual free throw championship for boys and girls, ages 11-14, for Saturday, Jan. 23 at the Hastings Junior High School. The program is part of a national free throw competition sponsored by the Knights of Columbus organization. Age for competition is determined by the boy or girl’s age as of Jan. 1, 1982.

Saxon spikers win double dual The Hastings Saxon girl's volleyball team grabbed a pair of Twin Valley wins this week rolling past Harper Creek and Jackson Northwest in double dual action. In both matches the Saxon gals played the role of "comeback kids”, coming from behind to win. In the Jackson Northwest match they x trailed 14-8 in the first game, but rallied for a 16-14 win and then took the second game and the match by a 15-6 score. The Saxon girls lost the first game to Harper 5-15, but came on to control the match winning the last two games easily 15-3 and 15-5.

Outdoor Report; "preserving the best qualities of the bait without adding chemicals or preservatives," Hanson says. Mainstream's products have been fieldtested in the United States and Canada. From the DNR Just about everybody has enjoyed the flavor ot a cup of freeze-dried coffee, but fishermen are only beginning to catch on to the advantages of something new on the market - freeze-dried bait! The new product is being marketed in the Upper Great Lakes country by Mainstream Freeze-Dried Baits of Marquette, and word has been spreading through the northwoods on what owner Bob Hanson calls the "fishermen's telegraph.’’ "The best thing I can say about our bait is that fishermen are using it for the first time, liking the results, and recommending it to their friends." says Hanson who, with Ron Oberg of Marquette and Mike Gierke of Escanaba, established the business early in 1981. Mainstream Leits currently offers smelt, minnows, and nightcrawlers, handily packaged and easily stored in a tackle box, pocket or creel - indefinitely until needed. "The freeze-drying process preserves the odor and color with no need for refrigeration,’’ Hanson points out. "Place the bait in water for 15 to 45 minutes depending on size - and life-like appearance and color is restored." The process requires special equipment, Hanson notes. After being frozen, baits are placed in a below-zero vacuum chamber. Frozen liquids are drawn off as a gas *SUN.

Not people from Mars, but the pine trees. Most of the pine trees in Barry County have been planted by human hands, many brought in during the 193C's by the Civilian Conservation Corp (C£C), and many more planted during the 40's and 50’s, DNR Biologist John Lerg reports. The pines serve as homes of many wildlife species, and are a favorite of the red squirrels. Throughout their lives the pines benefit wildlife and add to the scenery especially in the winter. When the pines are young, rabbitts hide under the branches and grouse roost in them. As they grow older, deer use the “aisles” between the planted rows as travel corridors and owls roost in them by day for protection from the elements and the the crows who like to harass them. Lerg said the pines were planted after farmers went out of business in the area. "People came here to farm and soon found the soil would not make it without fertilizer and many went out of business,” he said. "To tie down the land, pines were planted." Lerg said the Barrj Game Area is an example of that land use process, and 16 percent of the land in the Game Area is Red Pine. Red Pines, or Norway Pines as many know them, are the most common pine in Barry County because more of them were planted. White, Scotch and Jack Pine were also nlantpd hut in much fewer numbers.

That sum was alloted in addition to $20,000 the county board had already designated for the road commission in its 1982 budget. At its January 12 meeting, the county board had agreed to reimburse the road commission for any overtime costs during the last two weeks until it could study a request for more money for roads. Commissioner Edward Daniels made a motion at this week’s meeting to approve $57,000 for the road commission. However, that motion was nullified when the board approved a substitute motion initiated by Commissioner James Gordon. Finance Chairman Gordon stated that his committee had met with I he county clerk and treasurer and determined that after out­ standing bills were paid the actual extra surplus carry-over from the 1981 budget was $75,000. Gordon said that, in addition to the road commission, other departments also had requested funds from the surplus. As a result the board approved Gordon’s motion by a 6-5 vote to provide an additional $40,000 for roads; $10,000 for Charlton Park; $10,000 probate court child care; and $15,000 for the county sheriffs department. Voing in favor of Gordon's substitute motion were Commissioners Richard Sunior, Albert Bell, Richard Dean, Paul Kiel, Kenneth Radant, and Gordon. A heated debate followed an observation made by Road Commission Chairman Robert Russell that the bill for overtime snow removal for the past two weeks amounted to $23,000 and that since the commissioners agreed to pay this cost January 12, the $40,000 approved Tuesday was in addition to that. Gordon responded that the intention of the motion was that the reimbursement costs were to be included in the extra allotment of $40,000. Members of the audience joined in the discussion including Delton Schools Superintendent Willard Baker. He said the board should have spelled out its intentions instead of relying on assumptions about what the 'otal additional funds for roads would be. Former Commissioners Bill Hayes and Orville Hammond, both spoke in favor of giving the road commission as much money as possible, saying that the roads benefited more people in the county than any other program. Robert Miller, administrative assistant at the Hastings Public Schools, talked about the importance of servicing roads. He said that in crisis limes it is necessary to "lighten our belts on culture and recreation and instead support the things that are essential." Miller said it was his opinion that the vague motion regarding overtime snow removal meant that the board should delegate $23,000 for the past two week’s expenses plus the $40,000 requested. “I think you’ve committed yourself to (a total of) $63,000," Miller said. Several township supervisors also were in attendance and spoke in favor of more money for the road commission. Gordon made a motion, approved by a 6-5 vote, stating that the reimbursement of overtime expense was to come from the road use permit will not be needed for mobile homes on permanent foundations which meet U.S. Housing and Urban Development construction standards and are at least 20 feet wide on each side and have a floor space of at teas'. 720 square feet. Previously a special use permit had been required for mobile homes meeting those specifications. Jones staled that mobile homes with less than the 20-foot width could appeal to the county zoning board of appeals for a ruling. Ron Coats, chairman of the county zoning board of appeals, stated that the am­ mendment would help eliminate some of the problems for mobile home applicants. Commisioners also voted to send a letter to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources asking them to maintian the current status of fire fighting protection in accordance with Public Act 329. This act states that it is the responsiblity of the state to provide protection against forest fires. continued on page 8 West African priest ass/sfs at St. Rose A priest from West Africa is serving as assistant pastor to the Rev. Robert Consani of St. Rose of Lima Church in Hastings Father John Opoku-Acquah arrived in town last week after completing studies to earn a master’s degree in institi ’ional ad­ ministration at the University of Notre Dame. He will be serving the local parish through May of this year when he will receive his degree during formal commencement ceremonies at Notre Dame. Soon after that, he said, plans call for him to return to his homeland of Ghana. Meanwhile. Fr. John, who is fluent in English, says ne is grateful for the op­ portunity to be in Hastings and gain ex­ perience in parish ministry. He says the main purpose-of his visit here is “to learn, to serve, and to be with people. His stay in Hastings was arranged through the Bishop of the Kalamazoo Diocese who contacted Fr. Consanni to tell him of Fr. John's wish to experience parish ministry in America. “Fr. John is my baptismal name,"says the 32-year-old priest. He explains that in dis native country, children are given names to correspond with the day they are born. Consequently, since Fr. John was bom on a Wednesday, his given name is Kwaku. after the god of Wednesday which is Wukuada. He comes from a large family ol four brothers and three sisters and was raised in a small Ghanan town of about 5,000 called Jamasi, Ashanti. Ghana is located about four degrees above the equator. The weather change is something Fr. John says he doesn't like, but laughs,“I’ve learned to tolerate it." While in Hastings, Fr. John will be helping with a variety of pastoral duties including visitations at the local hospital, the BarryCounty Medical Care Facility, and to homebound parishoners; working in a counseling capacity, and meeting with students. “I want to meet with the school kids in their individual classes and try to get to know them better and broaden their horizons about different people and share my background," he said: commission's now adjusted budget of $60.(KM) An effort by Commissioner Walter Soya to amend the motion to add the figure of $23,000 (overtime cnsl) to the $60,000 road budget failed to gain approval, with six voting against it and five in favor of the idea. Daniels was vocal in his displeasure of Gordon's final motion and the outcome of the vote. "I think we’re out of order on this thing, " he stated. Gordon said that he was sorry for the "unfortunate misunderstanding" He added "Our duly is to re-evaluate the budget quarterly" in an effort to manage the finances in the most responsible way. In other action, the county board ap­ proved, by a 6-5 vote, an ordinance ammendment regarding mobile homes. Kensinger Jones, chairman of the county planning commmission, presented the ammendment which means that a special He also hones to have religious discussions with the children including explanations about certain religious rituals and ceremonies and to answer any questions they might haw. He also will talk about “what a priest does.” Also during his visit here, Fr. John said, “I’d like to meet different families and I want them to feel free to ask me about myself. I want to try to learn more about them and share in their lives — it’s an op­ portunity to grow. “It will help me in my work...to learn to deal with people and to relate with people and learn to listen...! want people to know someone cares." Although the bulk of his contacts with others will be church-oriented, Fr. John said, “I don't intend to restrict myself just to Catholics." He says he is interested in the entire community. Fr. John's interest in the priesthood was seeded at an early age. “I was bora and raised a Catholic and the church was just across the street from where 1 lived. As a school age boy 1 was attracted to the chur­ ch...! admired the priest and the altar boys and my priest made an impact on my life...! never missed mass." He became an altar boy himself and later enjoyed traveling with the priest on his rounds. "One night during the first part of my elementary studies, I announced that I had a feeling and call to attach myself to the church, Fr. John said. He had the opportunity of learning the many facets of priesthood through his close relationship with his own priest. ' I liked that way of life...: t was simple and hardvorkipg...and the priest was always with people. I saw him at prayer and in every situation when he was needed, he was there. "I thought if someone (his priest) who lives in a far-off country can come here to help us like this we ought to do something to help ourselves." At the age of 14, in 1963, he decided to enter Pope John’s Seminary in Koforidua, located about 100 miles away from his home.

The KEE, a minority owned railroad m business since 1979, serves slightly more than 40 miles of track between Grand Rapids and Vermontville and runs through Hastings. The KBE’s future will be decided following a public hearing Tuesday, Feb. 2, at the Hastings City Hall, 102 S. Broadway, at 1:30 p.m. A spokesman for the DOT said Thursday that they have recommended to the State Transportation Commission that the KBE be taken off subsidy. But he cautioned that statement at the public hearing would be taken into con­ sideration before the commission makes a final decision. On Jan. 25 the DOT announced that the KBE was part of their preliminary recom­ Fire causes damage to four apartments locally A Tire caused up to $20,000 in damage to four apartments in the Courtyard Apartment complex, 246 E.

Garbage collection rates to rise for Hastings residents by Robert J. Johnston Father John from Ghana is assisting the Rev. Robert Consani at St. Rose of lima Catholic Church in Hastings for the next several months. (Banner photo) Banner Garbage collection rates for Hastings city residents will jump 75 cents p?r can begin­ ning Feb. 1. Hastings City Council, Monday evening, approved a new contract with Hastings Sanitary Service that grants the rate in­ crease, but stipulates that the rates cannot rise again for two years. The new rates will be $5 per month for the first can and $2.50 per month for the second can. The new contract also does not require Hastings Sanitary Service to provide cans. Following the council meeting, Kenneth Neil, owner of the service, said that 20 gallon cans are currently costing $10 each. Neil said he will have cans available to customers. The previous garbage collection rates were in effect for one year. The council, under a consent judgement of the State Tax Tribunal, approved a property tax refund to Gulf and Western Corporation of $19,480.11 for 1980 and 1981. The tribunal lowered the firm’s 1980 assessed valuation from $2,076,500 to $1,507,000 and its 1981 valuation from $2,118,100 to $1,537,000. In other business at the council meeting, a contract with Commercial Sandblasting, operated by Ronald Wieringa, was approved for sandblasting and repainting 225 parking meters at a cost of $5 per meter. The money will be taken trom the Police Department budget. The council learned that the Michigan Department of Transportation will be holding a public hearing at 1:30 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 2 at City Hall to take comment on a recommendation to discontinue the subsidy to Kent, Barry. Eaton Connecting continued on page 8 The fire broke out in apartment 242 D after a Gordon Lehman had been soldering water pipes. “Either he hit wood or some insulation caught fire,” said Fire Chief Roger Caris. “And it shot up into the attic." Firefighters fought the fire for about an hour with axes, water hoses and Scott air packs, Caris said. “It’s mostly smoke and waler damage in the apartments,” Caris said. "The ceiling is soaked up with water." Firemen had also chopped up a small part of the roof in order to combat the fire. Apartments with fire and water damage are 242 D, residence of Gene Dielrik and 242 C, residence of Christine Lykins. Also damaged by water are 242 A, residence of Joe Bleim and 242 B, residence of Cindy Poll. Tenants who were in the building at the time evacuated the building, some taking their clothes with them. Caris said that they were out of their apartments for approximately an hour. ‘ The Hastings Police Department also answered the call and assisted with traffic control at the scene of the fire. mendations to the commission which also included the discontinuation of four segments of other lines in Michigan. The KBE is the only complete line that faces a loss of subsidy, and the only rail freight service that has passed the preliminary stage and has been recom­ mended tor loss ol subsidy, the spokesman said. "We don't see how they could ever go off subsidy," the spokesman said. "The whole purpose of the subsidy program is to help them un|il they can go in the black. The KBE shows no signs of doing that.” Bill Thomas, chief clerk at the KBE, said Wednesday that they hope to get input from shippers on the line at the public hearing. “The purpose of the hearing is to get the community decision,” he said. "The decision isn’t final yet and I’m sure we will be at the meeting." Other officials of the company could not be reached for comment before press time. The DOT spokesman said the KBE currently receives about $45,000 a month in subsidy, given in two month payments of $89,394. That was cut by 10 percent in a vote by the Commission yesterday. The next two month subsidy will be $80,392. The two month payments have been used since the ending of the fiscal year September 30. 1981. The DOT baid on Jan. 25, that the public meetings have been scheduled as a result of Commission approval of a DOT proposal to end state subsidies to some railroad lines and provide no financial support for some lines which companies intend to abandon. The commission action was another step in development of a state “rail rationalization plan" that will determine which currently unprofitable lines are most important to Michigan commerce and industry and should share in dwindling state, appropriations for rail subsidy, the DOT said. The Legislature has indicated it will phase out the entire subsidy program in five years. There are currently eight rail freight ser­ vices in Michigan that recieve subsidy.

Thursday, January 28,1982 - Page 2 PUBLIC OPINION: West Woodland News THIS WEEK’S QUESTION: by Victor Sisson The present military build-up ordered by the Reagan Admin, is the largest on record during peacetime. Plans include spending billions of dollars in the next four years and a possible return to the draft. Do you agree with the build-up and do you think we are producing to use? Leor Sutherland - Olds. Employee route 1, Woodland John Martin - Retired 1820 Boulder Dr., Hasting: Thought for the Week: “It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt." It was very refreshing to read the answer Superintendent Richard J. Guenther gave to the question, “Can We afford to provide a quality education in the public schools?" Allow me to re-emphasize some of the fine points Superintendent Guenther mentioned. A school needs cooperative efforts by 1.) the home, 2.) the church, and 3.) the school. If one of these institutions fails, the student will be the loser, and it will lessen his chance to become a well balanced, decent citizen. Of course he will become a person who will do an honest hours work for an hours pay. In plain words, he will be a desirable friend and citizen. As we consider the tax question, let's look at the price of a loaf of bread. If we examine the channels, from the grains of wheat to the finished loaf, there have been dozens of taxes hat added to its price. We pay many multiple taxes. Sad to say, there also are many dishonest factors that enter in. If waste and irresponsible handling of tax money was eliminated, taxes would not be high. What is education? ’t is a tool, and no tool is of use unless a person knows how to use it. What are the requirements for a good education that produces a person of healthy body, mind, spirit, and soul? 1.) A real family home atmosphere, 2.) A reverence for God and country, 3.) Instructors that have a devoted ability to go beyond the subject matter, and educate the whole person, 4.) A strong desire to help all human beings. Taxes do not create a good school Thank you, Mrs. Stauffer, for introducing yourself in your column, and especially about the old efficient country schools. Cameron McIntyre Sharon Wood - School Employee 609 E. Grant, Hastings Bud Freyling - Retired 1314 Lynn Ave., Payne Lake Randy Baxter - Social Worker 5925 108th St., Caledonia by Lii Kingsbury People interviewed at Burger Chef, Tuesday morning, presented a variety of different opinions on military buildup and the draft. John Martin. 1820 Boulder Dr., a retired Kellogg employee, said that he agreed with the buildup. “I do think we're relaxing the whole business and we don't want a war over here," Martin said. Bud Freyling, 1314 Lynn Ave., Payne Lake, former Byron Center Schools em­ ployee, also agreed with the buildup. “I do think they should because they aren't going to get enough without the draft," Freyling said. "Few want to join up.” Freyling served in World War II as an aviation engineer for the Army. Linda Wank, a housewife from 114 E. Grant, said, "I don't think we're building up to use. I think it's more of an intimidation thing. If we continue to build up and we get more powerful, I don’t think we’re going to have to use it.” She felt that the president is taking money from the poor to build up the military. ‘ "I think it (the buildup) influences un­ derdeveloped countries,” Wank said. “It influences them to start their own buildup." Sharon Wood, 609 E. Grant, who works part time in the Northeastern School cafeteria, said, “I think we should keep our military strength powerful. If the other countries think we’re weak, they take ad­ vantage of us.” "I think we should keep strong forces and let the other countries know where we stand,” she added. Even though it might cost somthing, it’s worth our freedom.” Lyndell Torode, 1983 Campground Rd., a housewife, said, “I strongly agree that we should buildup our military. “Il’s somthing I’ve been thinking about in the past year because of the buildup in the Soviet Union,” she added. “I’d rather see the money go towards this than all of the space things." Leon Sutherland, Rte. I, Woodland, an Oldsmobile employee, felt that the ad­ ministration should build up. Of registration for the draft, he said.“It didn't hurt me when I was 18. I don't think it hurts any of them ” Sutherland was in the Army and served in Korea in 1958. Two area social workers gave their views. “I think we need to do some building up in Hastings Write us a letter! • Lyndell Torode - Housewife 1983 Campground Rd., Hastings Victor Klatt - Social Worker 409 E. Woodlawn, Hastings our military machine, but I don’t think we need to do it al the expense of our social program," said Randy Baxter, 5925108th SL, Caledonia. “As for a return to the draft, I don’t think that we need to return to the draft unless we have a war,” he added. Baxter compared registering for the draft to registering a car. Victor Klatt, 409 E. Woodlawn, said, “1 think registration is sufficient. From what I understand, it would cut mobilization down from four to six weeks. “As for the defense buildup, I’m in favor of it, but th amount of money seems to be excessive due to the other domestic economic problems that the country is having."

This is a new law enacted by the Michigan legislature in 1981. Your insurance company will furnish two copies of a certificate of insurance. One should be sent to the Department with your map application for plates or tabs. The other should be carried in your car with your vehicle registration. In addition to a drivers license and vehicle registration, you are now required by law to show proof of insurance on your vehicle if you are stopped by a law enforcement of­ ficer. There are some questions that do not seem to have an answer and usually these questions begin with the word “why”. One such example came up the last weekend when some folks in the Woodland Lake Odessa area received some startling news from loved ones in far away Houston, Texas. Prior to July, 1981, the Brad Lehmans were residents of Woodland. Mrs. Lehman is the former Cheryl Makley, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Makley of Lake Odessa and granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Makley of Brown Road. The couple lias two children, a boy of five and a girl of two and are expecting another child in May. The uncertainty of employment in Michigan and the assurance of a good job and good pay in the southland was appealing and taking Mrs. Lehman’s brother, Wayne, with them, the family left in July for Houston, Texas. Brad soon found a good job in the construction industry in which he was experienced. The pay was good — it had to be since house rent alone was $500 a month and other prices were high there as they are everywhere else. Everything was going well until a few weeks ago when Brad fell a distance of some 15 feet, suffering a broken arm. This did not cause them too much trouble as there was work he could do with his arm in a cast, so he lost little time. Last Saturday evening, Mrs. Lehman was preparing supper and discovered that she was out of something that the meal required and Brad and a young man who is living with them volunteered to drive to the store and get it. The two had not gone very far from home when a man in a truck came from the opposite direction and crowded them off the road and into the ditch and went on. The two young men got out of their car to look the situation over, then discovered that the man in the other car had turned around and was coming back. They decided that perhaps he did not intend to crowd them off the road and was coming back to help them. The man stopped his car, got out and ap­ proached Brad and his companion, but in­ stead of offering help he pulled out a big knife and demanded their money. They told him they had no money except a little change to pay for the article they were going to the store for. He insisted upon their money and as Brad turned to give him what he had, the stranger made a quick lunge and rammed the big knife into Brad's back, then sped away in his car. As soon as possible, the other young man got help and Brad was rushed to a Houston hospital where it was quickly ascertained that the spinal cord had been severed. The following day an operation was performed to learn the full extent of the injury. At the last report here, he was paralyzed in one leg and his kidneys had ceased to function. His condition was considered serious. A call had gone out to Christian people in the area for prayers for Brad and his family. Brad’s parents reside in Grand Ledge and they, with the other members of the family, were planning to leave early Sunday mor­ ning by auto, nonstop, for Houston to be with the family in this hour of need. And there comes the question, why? What kind of a heart must a man have to do such as this? (Editor's note: Mrs. Eugene Makley reported Wednesday that Brad appears to have reflexes in both ’egs and “we do think things are looking better.” She added that Brad, Cheryl and Wayne are intending to return to Michigan.) Vernon Engle of Hastings was a Monday caller on his aunt, Mrs. Roy Norton and Mr. and Mrs. Leo Barry. Mrs. Steven (Carol) Potter of Carlton Center is reported this afternoon as recovering nicely from surgery at Pennock Hospital. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Jewell of Charlotte were Sunday evening luncheon guests of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Potter of Woodland. We are requested to mention briefly the death of a long time resident of the West Woodland area. Harry Barnum, son of Walter and Jennie Barnum, passed away at his home in Long Beach, Calif, on Sunday, Jan. 17, following a lengthy illness. He married Alberta Larsen of Hastings and they resided on West Green St. in Hastings across from Pennock Hospital before moving to California several years ago. He is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Ron (Barbara) Abbey of Lansing and Judy of Calif., one brother, Russell (Steve) Barnum of Dexter, Mich.; three sisters, Mrs. Dan (Hazel) Walldorff of Florida, Mrs. Mary Fox of Fla., and Mrs. Terry (Margaret) Doyle of Freeport; several grandchildren and great grandchildren. Mrs. Barnum preceded him in death several months ago. Services were held in Long Beach. Mr. Barnum was 88 years of age, and had many relatives anti friends in this area who had not heard of his passing until the first of this week. Mrs. Grace Olmsted of Hastings was the guest of Mrs. Marie Valentine of Carlton Center from Thursday night until Sunday night of last week. She had planned a shorter visit but she got snowed in. Mrs. Olmsted expected to enter a hospital in Kalamazoo on Wednesday morning to undergo surgery for the removal of a cataract from one of her eyes. Although she passed her 90th birthday in December, her health and spirits are good and she enjoys visits with her friends. Mrs. James Hostetler drove to Jackson last Wednesday taking her little grand­ daughter, Elizabeth Bauman, back home, and stayed overnight. Mrs. Bauman (Julie) and new daughter. Mary Lynn, came home from tire hospital Thursday and both are coming fine. James and wife called on his brother, Howard, and wife of Cloverdale Road, Sunday evening. Mrs. Eleanor Myers called her son, Duane, and wife, Carolyn, all of Albuquerque, N.M. by telephone last week Monday evening. She called to wish Carolyn a happy birthday. Wednesday afternoon, Mrs. Myers and her daughter, Carol Stade), visited the former’s sister, Mrs. Ruby Sawdy at the Medical Facility. Sunday, Mrs. Myers was invited over to the Stadel home on Brown Road for dinner and to make acquaintance of her new little great - granddaughter, Christine Marie, who with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Stadel of Lansing, was making her first visit at the home of Grandpa and Grandma Stadel. Mr. and Mrs. Gene Blair of Mulliken braved the severe storm Saturday afternoon and called on her mother, Mrs. Hidlred Hesterly of Woodland. Sunday forenoon, Mr. and Mrs. Verdan Hesterly of Ionia drove down and got his mother and the three drove to the home of the couple's daughter and family, Darrell and Evelyn Starbard of Grand Ledge for dinner and the afternoon. En route home they called at the Blair home. Mr. and Mrs. Barry Donaldson motored to Lansing Friday evening, had supper at Mr. Steaks then enjoyed leisurely shopping at the Lansing Mall. These days that seem to be good for nothing else are interesting days for those of us who feed the birds. It is not at all un­ common to see 25 or more birds of various kinds at our feeders eating voraciously together. At one time I saw five gold finches and two cardinals eating together peacefully in the little window box. But there is a sad note in our bird item this week. On Sunday morning when Mrs. Sisson went to put out the usual feed, she found two dead sparrows on the floor of the pole feeders. On three other mornings last week, she found one dead sparrow in that feeder, making five obituaries in one week. We have no idea what caused these deaths. They surely didn’t starve to death for plenty of food and variety is put out there twice a day. They may have frozen to death but this feeder turns with the wind so a bird in there is pretty well protected. Dana Roush and James Vreugde of Hastings were at the home of Grandpa and Grandma Sisson last Thursday and Friday afternoons helping to thaw out water pipes and replacing three pipes that had burst under the pressure. The grandsons were dinner guests on Friday. Monday afternoon the boys were back — our well stopped functioning as Mrs. Sisson was preparing to do a big washing and we didn't have any water. Our well man died last year so we didn’t know whom to call. They took the motor off the pump and took it to Hastings and got help for it and we’re in business again. Thank you, beys. The many friends of Mrs. Carl (Phylene) Klahn, 52, of 4966 Brown Road, were shocked when the word spread of her death Sunday morning at Pennock Hospital. She had been employed at that institution for more than 20 years until her health made retirement necessary last October when her ailment was diagnosed as cancer. Funeral services for Lloyd Cogswell, 67, of Grand Rapids were held Jan. 26 at the Leonard-Osgood and Wren Funeral Home in Hastings. We understand that Mr. Cogswell suffered a severe heart attack after shoveling snow on Saturday and passed away a short time later at the Osteopathic Hospital in Grand Rapids.

They are all very talented and interesting writers." One of the more prolific writers is Grace Scobey Colvin whose father had a farm where Brown’s Custom Interiors , 2409 N.

HIDDEN VALLEY by Grace Colvin Is it true what they say about it, this vale that is so well concealed that it harbors the old, compelled to sit, with faint hopes of ever being healed? That we are despondent and blue, discouraged, as each day goes by, \ but the truth is — if they knew smiling faces abound; never a sigh. Betty Ensign is the daughter of a locally famous author. Betty used to write articles, short stories and some poetry when she worked in a hospital emergency room in Cleveland, Ohio. Betty's mother, Fern Crehan, who died in Hastings at 87, two years ago, gained fame as a writer after the age of 60. In 1946, Fern’s story, “Grandpa Was a Racer", was included in the anthology "Current Thinking and Writing" (Century, Appleton). When Fern was 64, and living on a farm in Hope Township, her book “The Day Before Yesterday” (Dodd Mead, 1958) was published. The book was about Fern’s childhood at the turn of the century, Betty added. The book sold well and was distributed by two book clubs, according to her obituary in the Feb. 12, 1980 issue of the Reminder. In 1972, when Betty retired, she went to live with her mother on a farm in Hope Township. Betty is the only one in the class who does not live in Hidden Valley. She moved into Country Club Estates, just down the street from Hidden Valley, when the apartments were built, five years ago. FRUSTRATIOAN FOR ONE by Betty Ensign Consider now the not uncommon feats Whereby small boys make mothers into saints; They paint large murals out of peas and beets and then eat up their lovely finger paints. SAGA OF THE SWIMMING POOL by Betty Ensign There is a man in our town And he is wondrous wise. He planned a pool and patio With screen io keep out flies. His neiglibors helped him, one and all They measured, dug and sweat. The kids turned out to lay the sod And soon it was all set. Then people came from far and wide To swim and splash and play. Some would come and some would go But others stayed all day. Sometimes there was no room to swim So he sneaked in at night But gleeful friends would soon appear Attracted by the light. One day some working men appeared, But no one seemed to heed — Just swam and yelled and dove all day, while the workers moved with speed. Next morn the usual crowd emerged — Slopped short, they'd met their fate; An eight foot fence obscured the pob) — The crowning blow — no gate. So now he swims in privacy. They hope that he’ll feel lonely For things have changed and now they come By invitation only! Continued on page 8 Here dwell good cooks and art fans grow, A friend to each is the one next door each trying kindness to bestow. What blessings could be asked for more? Surrounded by trees, this little dell Is filled at times by melodies sweet of many bird calls rain cannot quell, v that helps to make each life complete. Some shy wild deer have been seen about delighting the ones who chanced to see, but activity began to mount has caused these friends to silently flee. Squirrels among the trees seem bent on enjoying themselves and nothing more. Another friend with stronger scent often visits at night near our door. We have met him there, face to face, His greeting was only gentleness as tho the spirit of this place - had suffused him, leaving no stress. Is it true what they say? Are we famed for hearts and minds that are leaden? No! But we feel this place mis-named — It should have been called "Little Eden". Diana L.

Served Monday thru Friday until 11 am Offer ends February 28. 1982 I got older, somewhat wiser too. The foot then wore another shoe. Early I’d have gone to bed; But daily chores I did instead. I thought life more fun when just a kid That date “blew off the lid." It sure is tough to be a Mom. Now I’m much older and wiser too. Much later I can go to bed But I get bored instead On plate I must leave bread and fat Because my diet won’t let me eat that. I had more fun when justa Mom. With all the kids and all the proms, with all the work and hassle too And always needing something new. We sure were a happy crew. I’d go back to the days on the farm With the old house and the run-down barn. I was happier then with all the kids And the heavy work I did. So just remember this — Enjoy! ’Cause all those times you’ll miss! “T c* Watch Maker HODGES JEWELRY Your Full Service Repair Center 122 W. State St. Hastings FOR SAFETY SAKE...

Mrs. Pender is survived by one daughter, Miss Karen R. Pender of Show Low, Arizona; two granddaughters, Miss Jamie Lee Newman and Miss Carla Gene Newman, both of Middleville; and one sister.

Burial was in Mt. Hope Cemetery. State Police report drop in traffic deaths last year ‘‘For the seventh time in the last eight years, Michigan with 1,540 provisional fatalities for 1981 recorded an annual traffic accident toll well below the 2,000 mark,” Col. Gerald L. Hough, department director, has reported. The provisional total is 234 lower than the toll of 1,774 in 1980. Other low counts in the past eight years have been 1,875 in 1974,1,811 in 1975,1,955 in 1976,1,950 in 1977 and 1,849 in 1979. Since 2,213 in 1973, the only count above 2 000 was 2,076 in 1978. Michigan’s highest yearly toll was 2,487 in 1969 while the lowest in the last four decades was 992 in wartime 1943 when gas rationing and no car production were among war economy factors curtailing driving nationally. The Michigan 1981 death toU will likely increase slightly from the provisional 1,540 when records are complete, but undoubtedly will still be the state's lowest fatality year since the count of 1,547 in 1962. This decrease is achieved despite some increase in driving mileage statewide. Traffic officers feel that several factors share credit in the lowered toll. These in­ clude an increase in drunk driving arrests, which totalled 52,000 in Michigan in 1980 by all police agencies, and are expected to reach a count of 55,000 arrests when 1981 records are complete. Also affecting safer driving are police agency efforts in heightened traffic law enforcement, ‘‘OPERATION CARE” holiday patrols in summer months, on-going selective enforcement programs by all police departments, improved road engineering, and last, but not least, an increased safety awareness on the part of the driving public whose safety and economic concerns are influenced by costs of motor vehicle operation, vehicle repair, and vehicle and equipment replacement. Along with the decrease in the annual toll, traffic officers feel the death rate in 1981 per 100 million miles of motor vehicle travel should again be one of the state's lowest. It was 2.9 in 1980, sharing with 1979 the lowest rate on record. Michigan traffic deaths in 1981 included 13 over the Christmas weekend, 10 less than 23 for that period in 1980. The past New Year weekend toll was 14 which was seven less than 21 a year earlier. �The Hastings Banner, Thursday, January 28.1982- Page 5 PUBLIC NOTICES NOTICE OF MORTGAGE FORECLOSURE SALE Default having been mode in the conditions of three certain mortgages, executed by CARL W.

When people lower their thermostates to conserve fuel, for example, many of them add space heaters to warm the air in bedrooms, bathrooms, and dens. Warnings should accompany that kind of trade-off, because each w'nter accidents are caused by unvenled space heaters which can cause carbon monoxide poisoning, warns the Barry-Eaton District Health Department. Whether the space heaters are fueled by gas, gasoline, or kerosene, the flame of heaters consume? oxygen and may form carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas. Carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless, and tasteless. That’s its danger. It can’t be detected. So, if you have a portable, unvented space heater, be on guard for symptoms of diz­ ziness, headache, and-or nausea. They could warn you that carbon monoxide is present in the room. If you use a space heater, turn it on only for short periods of time to supplement home heat; do not leave it on all day and all night. The same threat exists in automobiles. Cars idling in a closed garage, or stuck in the snow with the exhaust lodged in a snowbank could pose the same danger from carbon monoxide. The car's exhaust pipe could become plugged and carbon monoxide may enter the passenger compartment of the car, causing a Dec' 57’’iw be oppro'CecTond , threat to the lives of its occupants. _>—j on __ file. «,i_ Motion --------:.j 1 advice is to keep fresh air cir­ placed carried.

Anyone desiring more information regarding the tournament should contact Tom Frith, Maple Valley Jaycee President Board members approved a policy related to the procedural desciplinary action which may be taken by the transportation super­ visor as related to the general performance and-or operation of any bus driver. A report was made by the transportation committee regarding a meeting held January 6 with bus garage personnel. At this time consideration is being given for refurbishing some busses, with a more detailed report related to costs involved to be presented at the February board meeting. Also, at the February board meeting, bids will be accepted on two new school busses. No new school busses were ordered last year and in past years the school district pur­ chased three busses per year. Approval was given the purchase of ten radial tires for busses at an approximate cost of $165 each. The board approved payment of a $300.00 membership fee to the Southern Michigan Athletic Association with payment being made out of the school athletic account which is part of the activity fund. Board members approved holding the regular April board meeting on Monday, April 19, 1982 instead of April 12. School personnel will not be working the week of April 5 during spring break making it dif­ ficult to complete the board agenda including general fund checks. Approval was given for an indefinite suspension for a student enrolled at the JrSr. High School pending the student at­ tending a drug abuse center or some form of therapy during this time plus continuation of attendance at these sessions. A discussion was held regarding pur­ chasing replacement beating units at the bus garage. Considering that only one bid was received, it was the consesus of the board members that another bid should be obtained before making a decision. An executive session was held to discuss the present contract and proposals for the up coming, negotiations with the teacher association.

(Banner photo) Humpty Dumpty pre-schoolers sport special “T-Shirts” Wednesday was "T-Shirt Day” at Hastings Humpty Dumpty Pre-School. Not just any ole T-shirt was worn. It was a special day for the youngsters to sport their school's new specia' shirt, emblazoned with the words "Humpty Dumpty Pre-School," surrounded by an illustration of their mascot, Humpty Dumpty himsdf. The preschool’s publicity committee. comprised of Jackie Battiste, Ann Frisswyk and Sue Fruin, initialed the idea of selling the T-shirts. The silk-screened T-shirts arrived in colors of red, navy, royal blue, chrome yellow, and kelly green just in time for Christmas giving. In fact, Ann Mays, who Leaches the threeday morning session, received her T-shirt as a surprise Christmas gift from her students. A valuable tree crop can be produced when the small woodlot is properly managed. Woodlot management is especially im­ portant today in view of the expected in­ crease in the world demand for wood products and a local demand for fuelwood. Proper woodlot management begins with recognizing the most, desirable trees in the stand: those trees that are tall, straight, vigorous, and of a desirable species. In Barry County, black walnut, white and red oak, tulip poplar, black cherry and sugar (hard) maple are the most desirable species. Ironwood, blue beech, pin cherry, and other weed trees have no pulp or sawtimber value so they should be removed from the stand. Trees that are stunted, branchy, rotting or diseased should also be removed regardless of the species. Pruning is recommended for high quality, high value hardwoods such as black walnut and white oak. Trees that are vigorous, well formed, and at least 3 to 5 inches diameter at breast height (DBH) should be trimmed so that when mature, a clear trunk of at least 17 feet is reached. However, do not remove live branches from more than one-half the total height of the tree. Always use a sharp pruning saw to cut the branch flush with the tree trunk. Do not leave a branch stub. When working in the woods, always remember, “safety tirsL" Wear a safety helmet or hardhat and safety glasses. Exercise caution with all tools, particularly chain saws. Finally, do not over exert yourself. The Soil Conservation Service can provide additional information on pruning, thinning, and possible cost-share assistance for woodlot management.

Hastings woman a candidate for Winter Carnival Queen A Hastings college student is a candidate for Winter Carnival Queen at Lake Superior State College at Sault Ste. Marie. Jill A. Eldred, a 1980 graduate of Hastings High School, has been named to the royal court, from which a queen will be chosen Feb. 1. Eldred is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene A. Eldred, 7050 S. Broadway and a sophomore in electronics. The queen will reign over snow and ice festivities at the Lake Superior State College Winter Carnival. One of the members of the court will be named queen, following voting by students and their appearance in a talent show. The Queen and her Royal Court will preside over a week of Winter Carnival events or. the snow covered campus. “This year's record snowfall is bound to make the Carnival a success,” said Student Government President John Staber.

Mr. ?nd Mrs. Lloyd Brecheisen, 8503 Coats Grove Rd., Woodland, discovered that two of their barns had been broken into, early Friday morning. Brecheisen told deputies that he and his wife saw an extension cord lying on the ground, between the barn and the gas pump. According the deputies, someone had used the cord to jet 220 gallons of gas from the pump. The Brecheisens also discovered about $2,000 worth of sockets, tools and equipment missing frum their bams. The deputies said that a truck with large tires had been used in the larceny, and it appeared that the truck had gotten stuck in a ditch. From the items taken, deputies added, it appears that more than one suspect is in­ volved. The case has been turned over to detective Sgt. Kenneth DeMott for further investigation. Local law enforcement agencies also report the following accidents and incidents: —Three injuries were the result of a two-car collision at the intersection of S. Wall Lake Road and Sprague Road at 12:25 p.m., Saturday. The driver of one car, John Harold Cook, 69, 818 Academy St., Kalamazoo, and passenger Rosamond Code, of the same address, were treated and released at Pennock Hospital. Also treated and released at Pennock was, Jimmie E. Baker, 22,7589 S. Wall Lake Rd., Cloverdale, who was driving the other car. Cook was driving north on S. Wall Lake Road when visibility became zero, Barry County Sheriffs Deputies said. The deputies' report said that Cook knew that there was a curve in the road, but he was unable to see it It was at this point that he hit Baker's car. Baker was travelling south when his vision was reduced to zero by­ strong wind and blowing snow. Baker said at “•is point he found his vehicle sitting Social Security Service to Hastings will be reduced in MarchBeginning in March, Social Security service to Hastings will be reduced. Because of budget restrictions, representatives from the Grand Rapids Social Security office will visit Hastings on the first and third Mondays of each month. The representatives will continue to be located at the Hastings Community Ac­ tivities Center. 120 N. Michigan. The hours are 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. crosswise in the road. Investigators noted that visibility was zero to nearly zero in this area nearly all of the time, and wind gusts were up to 35 mph. Because of extenuating circumstances, no tickets were issued, however, deputies determined that Cook was at fault because he drove left of the cent e r 1 i n e . — The car of a Middleville man was rear ended by a Caledonia man, due to weather conditons, Saturday morning, according the Barry County Sheriffs Deputies. Thomas Wieringa, 36,12675 Jackson Rd., Middleville, sought his own treatment for minor injuries after his car was rear ended at the in­ tersection of Cherry Valley and Green Lake Roads. Chadwick Donald Poll, 9500 Paris Ave., Caledonia, was not injured. Both cars were northbound on Cherry Valley Road when Wieringa stopped at the intersection. Poll, because of zero visibility, tmly saw Wieringa’s car when it was directly in front of him. Poll applied his brakes, but hit the rear end of Wieringa’s car. Sheriffs deputies reported that snow and ice covered roads, high winds and blizzard like conditions made driving very hazardous. Deputies issued Poll a ticket for failing to stop within assured clear distance ahead. — The car of a Hastings man was rear ended by a Delton man when both cars were travelling east on Chief Noonday Road, at midnight, Sunday. Michael Creek, 2141 Dowling Rd., Delton, a passenger in the car driven by John Wayne Lewis, 27, of the same address was treated and released at Pennock Hospital. The second passenger in Lewis’ car, Janice Scaggs, 25, of the same address, was not injured. Sheriffs deputies said that Lewis hit his chin on the steering wheel. The driver of the other car, Kenneth J. Girrbach, 23, 382 S. Broadway, Hastings, and passengers David Hubert, 22,409 Marryman, Lansing, and Chris Kailgram, 711 Ave. A, Apt. 213, Springfield, were not injured. Girrbach’s car was travelling 20 mph, and Lewis’ car was following at 40 mph, when Lewis didn't see the car in lime to avoid hitting it, deputies' report said. Deputies reported that the road surface was both snowy and icy. — Pennock Hospital reported two snowmobile accidents to the Barry County Sheriffs Department Harley Wigglesworth, 58, 4500 Devine Rd., Nashville, was treated and released from Pennock Hospital after riding over a snowdrift on his property, Sunday afternoon Sgt. Richard Barnum said that the handlebars of the snowmobile swung around and hit Wigglesworth in the ribs.

Jo and Tilly share an apartment in Hidden Valley "About four years ago, I retired at 62," said Jo. "Ana I asked Tilly if she cared to join me in finding a place to live." "In a small town," Tilly added. Tilly and Jo are originally from Chicago. In 1977, they travelled up though Wisconsin in search of a town to settle in. "We figured they didn’t want us there because it kept on raining," Tilly joked. Then, they took the ferry, car and all, to Ludington, and went to visit Tilly’s son in Scottville. “He’s the one who suggested Hastings," Jo said of her nephew. After visiting a few more cities, Jo and Tilly put an ad in the Reminder and later moved into an apartment on Jefferson Street. They stayed there until July of 1980, when they moved into Hidden Valley. As part of her activities in the class, Jo is planning on pursuing her children’s American Indian heritage. She will be looking into the cultures of the Cherokee, Choctaw- and Navajo Indians. "I’m not a writer," Tilly said. “But I came to the class and I found the teacher in­ teresting." Tilly added that she is thinking of writing a biography, but she is still looking.

Extra funds for overtime, cont. from page 1 The DNR recently decided to cut $330,000 from its budget, much of which would be accomplished by the withdrawing of man­ power and fire protection equipment from the southern part of Michigan. Coals who is also fire chief of Woodland Township, staled that the DNR is planning another budget cut of $301,000. He stated that DNR's “bowing out" would put a heavier burden for fire protection on the townshops. Chairman Kenneth Radant added that the county prosecutor is currently "monitoring" the legal attempt by the Allegan County Board of Commissions to try to stop the DNR's action. Commissioners voted to cooperate with efforts by the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce and the City of Hastings to form an industiral development committee to bring businesses and jobs into Barry county. The board appointed Commissioners Radant and Gordon to serve on the committee. In other matter, commisisoners voted to express their “displeasure" with plans by the Social Securliy Administration to hold office hours in Hastings only on the first and third Mondays of the month instead of every Monday. The new schedule is slated to begin in March “This is not good news because service is limited already," said Board Chairman Radant. Commissioners also noted that county residents should be aware that a public hearing will be held February 2 by the Michigan Department of Transportation to discuss discontinuing the subsidy to the Kent, Barry, Eaton Connecting Railway. The hearing is scheduled to be held al 1:30 at the Hastings City Hall. The board said it approved of an action by the county medical care facility to spend $140,802. on 138 new beds and nightstands with funds received from Medicaid as back payment for an adjustment resulting from the recent sex discrimination law suit won by employees at the facility. City Council, continued from page 1 Railway, which serves the Grand Rapids to Vermontville.line (See related story in this issue). The council agreed to notify local businesses which may be affected. 'Larry Ainslie, the attorney from Siegel, Hudson, Gee, Shaw and Fisher who designed the reapportionment of city wards, reported that no appeals to the plan have been filed within the required 30 days. City Clerk Donna Kinney, he said, is sending notices to affected electors. The plan moves the northern boundary of the Second and Third Wards from the Thomapple River to Colfax St. Police Chief Mark Steinforl presented a traffic control resolution eliminating parking on the south side of E. Francis St. in the 400 and 500 blocks. Steinforl said the new per­ manent order replaces a previous 90 day order from the former chief. Parking on the street will oe prohibited between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. The area is af­ fected by traffic at the Michigan Em­ ployment Security Commission office. Council unanimously approved a motion by Gordon Bennett to prohibit smoking in the council chambers during the meetings. Father John, continued from page 1 being admitted.) “It was a big change. I lived on campus and only went home for vacations." After five years of study, he received what is called an "ordinary level certificate” which means he had passed all of his sub­ jects. English was a compulsory course. Because his grades were high, Fr. John was permitted to begin studies at St. Theresa’s Seminary in Amisano where two years later, he earned an “advance level certificate” which is comparable to a bachelor’s degree, he said. St. Theresa’s is connected with London's University of Cambridge. After earning the advanced certificate, Fr. John remained firm in his desire join the priesthood so he entered SL Peter’s Major Seminary in Cape Coast, Ghana, located about 10 miles from St. Theresa’s. He studied philosophy there until 1973 when "my Bishop called and said he wanted me to study in America. I was thrilled!" Fr. John said. He went to school in Rochester, New York from 1973-78, studying at SL Bernard’s Seminary where he earned a master of divinity degree and a master of arts degree in theology. The seminary has since been closed. Recalling his arrival in New York, Fr. John said be experienced some "culture shock.” “I had seen movies of what America was like and city life was similar to what I ex­ pected to some extent. "But, everything was so fast paced...it looked to me like everyone was being chased," he laughed. (continue next col.) "In 1978, when 1 returned home (to Ghana) I was already ordained a deacon," said Fr. John. On July 2 of that year he was ordained into the priesthood. He was assigned to work with a senior priest in a parish in the diocese of Kumasi which he describes as having a beautiful modern church. That parish had 29 missions and Fr. John spent five months visiting the missions where he would conduct services and listen to the people's problems. Some or the remote villages, about 20 miles away from the main station, only could be reached by traveling on foot. "Sometimes I would drive my car as far as I could and then leave it and walk the rest of the way, he said. During his travels to the missions, he encountered “people who were extremely poor and living in austere conditions...But, they were willing to give you the best they have. The people want you there and ap- * preciate you," said Fr. John. Because of a shortage of priests, these people might only be visited once a month, he said. "I found the work’enjoyable and the people so cooperative. When you are in their village, you are everything to them.” Fr. John added that the village people would expect him to be able to du almost anything, even cure their aches and pains. As a result, he said, he started carrying pain relievers and other medications to make them more comfortable when they had a headache or other pain. Some of the missions had no regular place of worship because of the high costs of building materials, he said. "Cement is very expensive and sometimes it takes a village 10-12 years to put up a church because they have to do it gradually. In the poorer communities, church ser­ vices might be conducted under a raffia-type roof or even in someone’s home or com­ pound. Shortly before he left the Kumasi area because of acquiring a scholarship to Notre Dame, Fr. John persuaded his Bishop to start a new parish in an industrial area that did not have a church. Those people, who did not have access to transportation, had to travel six miles to the nearest cathedral. A noisy public community center was the only place where services previously were held in their own area. Fr. John’s duties have included serving as temporary secretary to die Bishop and as vocations director and youth chaplain. As vocations director, he visited various places, in the diocese to which he was assigned in Ghana, and talked about the need for "more priests and religious sisters and brothers because there is a short number to go around." He also spent time talking with interested persons about the details of being a priest, offering them professional guidance if they were interested in pursuing that commitment Fr. John expressed concern about the youth in his country because of “massive unemployment problems" and limited op­ portunites in education. Only some of the youth are fortunate to come from families who can afford to pay tuition for high school educations, he said. Most only receive an elementary education which does not prepare them with any type of training for employment He said his government is trying to improve the educational system, “but it is a. slow process." Fr. John said Ghana is basically an agricultural country, but “there is a massive exodus into the city by people looking for jobs.” Youth are especially attracted to city life and seem anxious to leave the rural setting City, chamber and county form economic development group hoc group formed to spearhead industrial development. "We've formed a steering committee to The Hastings City Council, Monday, and gain some understanding in how to form a the Barry County Board of Commissioners, (permanent) group," John P.

Johnston New math program introduced at in-service meetings at Southeastern Elementary in Hastings By Liz Kingsbury A math program, which is used in elementary schools thoughout the nation, was introduced at two in-service meetings, Jan. 27 and 28, at Southeastern Elementary School. Conceptually Oriented Mathematics Program (COMP) is being introduced at for the second semester at Southeastern School. Tom Smusz, former principal for Hartford Public Schools, now an instructor for the COMP Program in Colombia, Mo., taught the in-service for two days. John Speicher, a principal from Concord Community Schools who has been with the COMP program for four years, was ob­ serving the in-service. days. The program is funded by a federal title 4C grant which provides $4,000 to run the program. "Basically, what we’re finding out is, the next thing we have to do is testing," Styf said.“This is not a new math program. We will continue to use the same textbooks, but we will use them differently." The COMP program teaches children from first to eighth grade. Styf said that he didn’t know if he would expand the program to those grade levels. "You have to start somewhere", he said. In the COMP program, students are divided into 25 different levels. Levels are determined by a placement tests which determines the students ability and needs. Smusz describes COMP as a continuous progress program in which the student moves up to a higher level when he masters a 80 percent of all concepts on the five-problem mastery test. Smuszsaid that an example of a concept is the multiplication tables for numbers six and seven. When the teacher feels the he is ready, the student takes the mastery lest. If the student does not make 80 percent of every concept, then he is retaught the con­ cepts that give him problems. "Each level has a different amount of teaching objectives," Smusz said. "We try to meet the individual needs of the child though small group instruction.” Smusz recommends that there should be less than 15 children in each group. Southeastern teachers will be teaching two grade levels, third and fourth or fifth and sixth, and two different skill levels, ac­ cording to Dave Styf, local COMP director, principal of Southern School and fifth grade teacher. "What we’re trying to encourage is less pencil and paper and more verbal in­ teraction between you and the studenls,"Smusz told the teachers. Styf discourages teachers from teaching two consecutive skill groups to avoid the temptation of teaching both groups together. Ten representatives from each of the Hastings schools also attended the in-service meetings, which start at 8:30 a.m.. both -Southeastern teachers and the principal of Southeastern School discuss the COMP program.

The Saxons turned the ball over 27 times in the sloppy affair and never recovered from a seven point first quarter. “Not having practice really killed us because we didn’t execute,” O'Mara said. "We haven't practiced since Thursday (school closed due to weather) and we came out flat and sloppy.” Gull Lake busted to an 18-7 first quarter lecd and never looked back. By halftime the lead was 15, and even though the Saxons pulled within in 10 points once in the third quarter, the outcome was really never in doubt. Bill Harrison, a Gull Lake forward who tossed in 24 points, was the main reason the Blue Devils dominated. “He was bigger than our forwards and a lot of times he put it in right over them,’’ O’Mara said. “We just didn't match up well with them at all.” The Saxons actually outscored the Blue Devils in the third and fourth periods, but turnovers kept them from closing the gap any closer than 10 points. The Blue Devils used several offensive rebounds to build a 46-31 advantage on the boards. Saxon center Bruce Hartman grabbed 7 caroms to lead Hastings in that department. Steve Del Cotto, a senior forward, led Hastings with 24 points. John Karpinski tossed in nine points to aid the losing cause. "We just weren’t hitting anything in the first half," O’Mara said. "We picked up and played better defense in the second half but we were too far behind.” The loss drops Hastings to 4-7 on the year. They entertain Hillsdale on Friday, retur­ ning to Twin Valley action with a 2-4 record. In other Barry County games Tuesday: Middleville 71 Byron Center 46 A tough Thornapple-Kellogg defense keyed a 71-46 OK-Blue victory over Byron Center Tuesday. The Trojans, who lead the OK-Blue in defense with just 48.8 points allowed per game, used their zone press to collect steals and easy baskets in the romp over the Bulldogs. Both teams were at the top of the league sporting 4-1 records before the game. Balanced scoring and rebounding bolstered the attack. In the scoring department, Brian Miller led the way with 15 points, Steve Scott tossed in 14 and Bill Schwartz collected 13. Jeff Kerber was the top rebounder with 12 caroms, Miller grabbed 10 and Schwartz came up with 11. “Our defense and our balance were the keys again,” Trojan coach Skip Pranger said. “It was a good effort from the whole team and that is what it takes to win in this league.” Scott and Jim Schipper picked pockets to help the Trojan defense. Scott came up with five steals and Schipper collected four steals to go along with his 6 points and 9 assists. Ten Trojans played and scored in the contest that saw the Trojans go up by 15 at half and never look back. The win lifts Middleville to 9-1 on the season, 5-1 in the OK-Blue. They take on Hudsonville (5-1 in league) Friday in the Trojan gym. Hudsonville is responsible for the only blemish on the Trojan record, a nne point decision in December at Hudsonville. Saxon Stu Spyker (14) moves under a Gull Lake Blue Devil Tuesday. Goll Lake defeated the Saxons 60-46. (Kevin McKeoueh photo) Words for the Tuesday, for the second time this season and for the same reason as the first time around—free throw shooting. The Lions hit only nine of 22 attempts from the charity stripe, many of them one and one situations down the stretch, and fell to 5-2 in the TCAA, one game behind Carson. In their first meeting earlier in the season the Lions dropped a one point decision on a night where they hit only seven of 21 free throws. “It was a lot like the first time around,” Lion coach Jerry Reese said. “We didn't hit the free ones and when you don't do that you can’t expect to win.” Carson hit 15 of 24 of their shots from the charity stripe and matched the Lions in the number of field goals for the six point win­ ning margin. A poor third quarter by the Lions when they scored just 7 points, 6 by Walt Maurer on rebounds inside, also contributed to the Lion showing. Carson took advantage of the Lions going stone cold in the third to increase their one point halftime lead to 10 by halftime. Shots starting falling and the Lions scored 27 points in the final quarter, but it was too little too late. The Lions showed balance on the boards and in scoring in the losing cause. Tony Dunkelberger led scorers with 16 points. Walt Maurer who tossed in 12, "nd Mickey Mahon who tallied 11, joined him in double figures. The Lion’s leading scorer Jeff Beebe was in trouble with fouls most of the evening fouling out with 6 minutes remaining. He finished the eveiag with two points and 10 rebounds. Maurer chipped in on the boards with 11 caroms and Dunkelberger grabbed 9. Dave Dykhouse led Carson with 22 points. The Lions drop to 6-5 overall, 5-2 in the TCAA and second place. On Friday they travel to Saranac and next Tuesday they entertain county foe Middleville.

Love is in the air for the Great Horned Owls of Barry County. One blizzard after another has the outdoor picture in a rather confused state. Average snow depths reported range from 14 inches in the Yankee Springs area to over 19 inches in the Allegan State Game Area. As a result fishing and hunting pressure has been very low. The smoke did curl from a few fishing shanties last weekend, but as the barometer zoomed up and down so did success on panfish. Those that had any luck reported the usual comborers and waxworm bails worked for brief periods of lime. Lakes that reported successful fishing include; Middle, Gun and Thornapple. Heavy snow has caused problems getting to some area lakes. Turkey application cards are now available at many of the area license dealers as well as the Plaimwell District Office of the DNR.

Barry and Eaton Connecting Railway (KBE) off of state subsidy. Jack Morgan, manager of the Public In­ volvement Section said that they would present a final recommendation to the Stale Transportation Commission at its meeting, Feb. 24. He added that the commission, last Wednesday, extended the subsidy for twomonlhs. Morgan described the Rail System Rationalization program, which is used to evaluate railroads. He listed three categories of rail lines. First is the essential core system, which should be maintained even if long-term slate support is required. In category two arqali those rail segments that are considered questionable for any of the following reasons: there is insufficient data necessary to make clear-cut decisions, the line is identified on a carrier system diagrun as being under study for possible abandonment or unresolved issues will have a major impact on the decisions. In the third category are those segments identified as contributing little to the statewide or regional rail system. These segments cannot become viable and do not contribute a measure of service sufficient to warrant further state involvement. “The Kent, Barry. Eaton Connecting Railway falls within this third category and therefore, a preliminary recommendation has been submitted Io the Slate Tran­ sportation Commission Io discontinue the subsidy lo this segment." Morgan an­ nounced. “There are 12 active shippers, along the line, two at Dutton, two at Caledonia, five at Hastings, two at Nashville and one at Ver­ montville." he added “The subsidy required on a per car basis over this five year period has risen from $763 per car. year one (1976, lo an unaudited $3,340 per car in subsidy year five (1981). an increase of over 400 percent." Morgan said that all commodities could be moved by truck or from the nearest team track locations. “No shipper on the line would be more than 15 miles from a team track," he said. Morgan then opened the meeting for discussion. About 30 people attended the meeting, including local public officials, slate agency representatives, the KBE officals and KBE customers Opinions were divided, some, mostly shippers, wanted the line continued, some did not. some only wanted a segment con­ tinued and others wanted the subsidy returned to Conrail Nate Pierce, vice president of the KBE, said that the figures on the number of shippers was inaccurate. Pierce counted nine customers in Barry County. “I don’t understand where you got the figures from," Piercer said. “If I knew you Barbara Clark representing the Mich­ igan Rail Users and Supporters Union reads a statement to the audience. were going to discuss figures. I’d have brought a report." Hastings Mayor Kenneth Howe said. “I’m in favor of the subsidy . Having the railroad pass though our community is like having a new lifeline for attracting new industry and maintaining the present industry." “With a 400 percent increase. I don’t see how it’s paying its way." said City Coun­ cilwoman Mary Lou Gray. *1 would support the discontinuation of the subsidy." Harlan Getty, assistant director of the Michigan Legislative United Transportation Union said."Our recommendation would be to see the state continue the subsidy program, but to return it lo the operation of Conrail." Getty added that Conrail has the equip­ ment and the manpower to do the job with less cost than the short line railroads. Barbara Clark, a representative of the Michigan Rail Users and Supporters Union, a statewide organization of businesses and industries that depend on rail service, read a statement to the audience. "We recognize the financial dilema the Michigan Department of Transportation is in, with revenues from gas and weight taxes declining and costs increasing. •‘We therefore cannot support unreasonable slate subsidies per carload hauled, and we realize MDOT must justify every dollar it spends. "However, our board of directors believes rail service is vital to several of the com- Continued on page 7 Nate Pierce, vice president of the Kent.

Deming ruled, Jan. 25. that a Delton couple cannot dredge a boat access channel Irom their home, on Wall Lake Road lo Wall Lake. The Wall Lake Association filed a civil suit against Francis and Emilia Byington, of Byington Realtors, 9785 Wall Lake Rd., Delton. Dec. 1. 1980, on the grounds that dredging the marsh would endanger the environment. John S. Woods, president of the Wall Lake Association said that Wall Lake has very soft waler. “Tb°y wanted to channel through a wetland that is a buffer zone tnat keeps acid water from the lake," Woods said. "Ac­ cording lo experts Wall Lake has the softest water in the Slate of Michigan and it is very intolerable to acid water.” Woods added that the proposed channel could possibly increase the amount of sediment in the lake. “Any use of if would stir the sediment up," he explained. One issue was whether the Byingtons were riparian owners, that is if their property was adjacent to the shoreline. Even though the Byington's property is adjacent lo marsh. Judge Deming ruled that they were riparian owners. Robert J. Moser, attorney for the Byingtons said that the defendants have complied with the provisions of the Inland Lakes and Streams Act of 1972 and have been issued a permit by the DNR in accordance with the provisions of th^t act. “This permit was issued after en­ vironmental and water impact studies were conducted and after which a public hearing was held at which the properly owners around Wall Lake were allowed to raise their objections lo the proposed dredging," Moser said in his brief. Deputies Frank Misak and Donald Nevins take Eric G. Laughrey into custody. Hastings, Michigan The plaintiff also failed prove that com­ mercial development of the Byington's property would occur. In his trial brief for the plaintiff, David A. Dimmers said that the proposed use will be such an interference with other landowners’ rights, with the lake, and with the en­ vironment that the action should not be permitted. Witnesses for the Wall Lake Association were David Barnes. Jeri Barnes. John Woods. George Leonard. Fay Leonard, Jim King, surveyor, Jim Wiswell, Joyce McCafee. Dick Hartman. Ruth Bird. Winifred Sensiba. Robert Burr. John Gorentz, technician and Joe Johnson, biologistecologist. Witnesses for the Byingtons were Gene Brown, regional representative for the DNR. a specialist in resource development and wildlife management; and Merle D. Raber, a DNR representative in the wildlife management and land resource area. At the trial, Judge Deming determined that there was an opening, a ditch, between Byington’s property and Blackmun Swamp, which lies south of Wall Lake. The ditch, called a lag, is three feel deep and runs around 'he edge of Wall Lake. The lag contains water which is acidic and dirty. Deming said. The Byingtons wanted to channel though the swamp lo the lake. They had a DNR permit lo make a channel eight feel deep, 25 feel wide and 200 feet long. It was later determined that a 300 foot channel would be required. Dimmers said. Deming said that even if the Byingtons look 18 feet off the lop of the marsh, the acidic water would still flow into Wall Lake. Ecologist Joe Johnson said that the watejwould flow into the lake and impair the water. “It’s a recreation lake used for fishing and by migrating ducks,” Johnson said. “The defendants could gel lo the lake by using a floating dock." "Blackmun Swamp is an important habitat,” he added. “Il is a key element of Wall Lake’s ecosystem and should not be impaired.” In referring lo Pierce vs. Riley. Judge Deming said that the Byingtons want waler access for an artificial use. Artificial use is defined as a use for pleasure. A natural use is one that is necessary for life. “The Wall Lake Association met their burden of proof and shown by a preponderance of evidence that the defendant's last proposal (removing only the mat, the upper surface of the marsh) would impair Wall Lake,” Judge Deming said. "The mat (if removed) could float away and this could damage this part of the lake.” Deming enjoined any constuct<on on the part of the Byingtons by way of access that would involve removing the bog. Byington did not say whether or not he will appeal the case. Reahm Motor Sales closing today after 45 years by Robert J. Johnston After 45 years in business. Reahm Motor Sales. 107 N Michigan.

In view of overcrowding in Michigan’s prisons, do you think criminals should be given a longer sentence? by Liz Kingsbury Patrons of the Pennock Hospital cafeteria and a local dentist’s office gave similar opinions, Tuesday morning Marvin Smith, a farmer who lives on 2492 Wall Lake Rd., Hastings said,’*! think the Marvin Smith • Dairy Farmer 2492 Wall Lake Rd. Hastings, Michigan problem with our judicial system is they just slap the hands and tell them not tc do it again. Not so much for the first lime of­ fender, but for the second and third.” Chip Ridenour, a salesman from Grand Rapids, said,"Maybe not a longer sentence, necessarily, but a harsher one — a con­ structive type of sentence." "It seems like there are things the judge could appropriate (criminals) lo do in lieu of giving them a shorter sentence," he added. "Basically, I think they ought to serve the sentence they were sentenced lo and not have it reduced by parole,” said Dwight Newton, 121 E. Sherwood Dr., Hastings, owner of Electric Motor Service. "(We should) not have tk«* leniency of the over­ seeing judges reduce the sentences once they’re handed down." “I think they should be given a longer sentence,” said Terry Watson, 3750 Heath Rd., a builder. "I thing you should sei an example. If they get out with a shorter sentence, they’re more apt to commit a crime again.” Karen Bemus, a homemaker who lives on Leinaar Rd., Delton, said,"I think that criminals who have done violent crimes should have longer sentences, they should find some creative way lo sentence other criminals, maybe like community work, or somlhing like that.” Diane Scott, co-owner of Timber Trails, who lives on 3480 Heath Rd., Hastings, said,"I do not think that their sentences housl be lessened just because of over­ crowding. I realize that somlhing has lo be done about overcrowding." One person didn't really give a yes or no answer. "People usually lake the victim's point of view,” said Josh Manby, a lab technologist at Pennock Hospital who lives on 2955 52nd St., Kentwood. "I think if we were in there, we’d feel differently." "We probably wouldn't be open to having our taxes increased lo build new facilities," he added. "We’re all victims paying for crimes ... especially shoplifting”,said Philip Cotant, materials manager for Peiu’.ock Hospital. "I don’t think in the case of theft, the guilty party should occupy space in prisons. I feel the punishment should be repayment lo the owner plus lo the community for the ex­ penses involved in trying that person by work programs which utilize their labor." Thought for the Week — You're getting older when you notice that you have more room in your house than you need and not enough room in the medicine cabinet. TO THE EDITOR: On January 27 and 28,1 had the opportunity lo work with Mr. David Styf and the teachers of Southeastern Elementary School as they prepared lo implement the Conceptually Oriented Mathematics Program (COMP) an exemplary program designed to meet individual student needs in mathematics through small group instruction. The intention of this letter is to compliment the staff for the educational climate existing in their school. During my visit, the following elements were very evident: High expectations on the part of teachers that children will learn, strong building leadership, common goals shared by staff and communicated to students. I am sure the community of Hastings is aware of the above qualities but, as a recent visitor, I wish to add my sincere and en­ thusiastic endorsement.

The factory manufactures free swinging doors for store refrigeration units. Eliason went to court and won a temporary court injunction against inspections. The decision also reprimanded the inspectors for their use of force and absolved the $125 fine for the saw. Eliason told the Kiwanians he is a law abiding citizen, but warned them that "terrorism” exists in Michigan. His 20 minute talk included jokes about free enterprise and comparisons between the 1979 baseball bat incident and tactics used by Hiller's military government in World War II. Eliason had been in the courtroom before the 1979 incident. In 1969, he won an Oakland County Circuit Court case over a county health department. The health deparlmant had ruled that a grocery store could not purchase an Eliason cooler because they did not bear a National Sanitation Foundation Sticker. In May of 1981 Eliason filed a $6 75 million lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Grand Rapids stemming from the 1979 baseball bat break-in. The suit named eight parlies inlcuding Michigan Department of Labor officials, a Kalamazoo County Sheriff and other police officer:. Eliason said he thought his asking price was a small amount what his plant is worth. Eliason said he has told his story several times around the country, "wherever they invite me”. He is a friend of Kiwanian V. Harry Adrounie, who arranged the visit. Wendy Trowbridge of Lansing was a Saturday dinner and afternoon guest of his grandparents. Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Makley. He had been called to Sunfield to attend the funeral services for his great-grandmother. Mrs. Daisy Welch, and had not seen the local grandparents for a long t ime so came on over lo visit them. Brian Donaldson, with Jeff Hoover of Lake Odessa and Stephen Wilcox of Sunfield, went lo Troy, Sunday morning, and attended a Sports Card Showing at the Troy Hilton. The players featured at the show were Al Kaline, Jim Northrup and Bill Freehan. In the late afternoon, the boys left Troy on Road 54 and arrived in Flint just a few minutes before authorities closed that highway due lo the storm. They spent the night with Mr. and Mrs. Norm Wise, a former resident of Woodland, and as Mr. Wise didn't have to go lo work until afternoon, he look the boys out for breakfast, then to a large warehouse in that city 4vhere they saw the large semi­ trucks that were loaded with sports cards and other associated items. Brian said he had seen very large cartons containing thousands of sports cards, but to see them by the semi-load was something else. The boys had dinner Monday in Lansing and arrived home late in the afternoon. We are informed that Von Makley of South Woodland, who spent some lime recently in Pennock Hospatal following a heart attack, underwent open heart surgery, a three bypass operation, at Blodgett Hospital in Grand Rapids last Thursday. As of Monday, he was doing very well and was able lo walk a little each day. We wish him a speedy and complete recovery. Mr and Mrs. Dino Owen and little Jesse, resided in a trailer court at Byron Center while he was employed at Saugatuck. When he changed jobs and went to Lansing to work a few weeks ago, they moved in with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Frederickson, until they could find a house nearer his work. In the meantime, they purchased a home in Vermontville, did some needed work on it and moved to their new home the forepart of last week. We miss them from our neigh­ borhood and wish them much happiness in their new location. Saturday, Mr. and Mrs. Roland Hostetler of Lake Odessa were dinner guests at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Hostetler. Incidentally, Jim was at home alone so he had lo prepare dinner for his guests. Keith Marlow of Brown Road was a Friday caller at the home of Mrs. Roy Norton. Other callers the same day were August Lusty of Hastings and his daughter from Coats Grove. Saturday evening supper guests of Mrs. Mildred Hesterly of Woodland were Herbert Hesterly and son, Scott of Hastings. Mr. and Mrs. David Chase and children of Coats Grove were Saturday evening dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen DeGroote of Carlton Center. Another family get-together that had been postponed for several weeks due lo the ex­ tremely unpleasant and unsafe weekends was carried out Sunday in spite of the weather when the children and grand­ children of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Jordan gathered at the maternal home and enjoyed dinner together. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Potter, Jacqueline and Barbara left in the early evening for their home in Muskegon, going by way of Woodbury to 1-96 and made it in about 2'6 hows of careful and safe driving. The weather was okay when they left home in the morning but grew worse as the day advanced. It was a pleasant day for all the family. The other guests, Mr. and Mrs. Gary McCaul and children of Caledonia and Mrs. Kenneth Meringa and children of Grand Rapids, were persuaded to remain overnight and left for their home late Monday forenoon. Gary had been involved in two bad accidents during the past few weeks when he was struck by other cars on roads south of Grand Rapids during times the visibility was near zero and it wasn't hard to persuade both families to wait until mdrning. Mrs. Byron Hesterly, with Mrs. Virginia Tousley as co-hostess, held a bridal shower Friday evening at her home for Miss Kim Hesterly, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Hesterly of Hastings. Miss Hesterly will become the bride of Danie’ Payne of Delton on Feb. 3. Members of the families of both the young people made up the guests at the event.

Mr. and Mrs. Tom Hamilton and sons Aaron and Jason of Richland were Sunday dinner guests of Mrs. Hamilton’s grand­ parents, Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Kussmaul of Woodland. They had been trying for several weeks to carry out these plans but the ex­ tremely bad weather on the preceding Sunday spoiled their plans. They took a chance on it this time but as the day progressed, the storm increased in intensity and the Hamiltons cut their visit short and left for home in the early afternoon. The drive home was very dangerous and un­ pleasant but they made it safely. The boys enjoyed a beautiful birthday cake made by Mrs. Kussmaul in honor of their natal days. Many of the churches were closed again Sunday due to the severe storm and the almost impassable condition of the roads. It was officially announced that this area received an additional six inches of snow Sunday, making a total of 30 inches for the month of January. Thousands of cars were abandoned in the area covered by this storm and 90 percent of the air traffic was halted. Personally, your writer has been out of doors only three times in the past four weeks, we’ve missed church services the past four Sundays. Our driveway has been plowed out three times and then it was only open for a few hours until it was drifted full again. P.S. We are very grateful to the kind neighbor who does such a fine job plowing out our driveway — and a lot of others, too.

Animal talk studied in MSU language course They’re net chatting with chimps or harmonizing with birds, but Michigan State University students are learning more about these two species and others in a unique course titled, "animal communication and language." Now in its second year n MSU’s Depart­ ment of Linguistics and Oriental and African Languages, the course is especially popular with veterinary medicine students. However, Carol Scotton, who teaches the class, says it attracts students from a variety of disciplines. They learn about human language as a system and how it compares with animal forms of communication. Since the ape language studies began in the 1960's, our interest about comparisons between animals and humans grew so that today there is a lot of new research on how animals communicate and what they More goes on than meets the eye at the County Clerk’s office Wher people go into the County Clerk's office in the Barry County Courthouse, they usually see people working behind desks or al the counter. What people might not notice is the fact that the duties of the clerk and his four deputies affect the lives of everyone in the county at one time or another. Asked what he likes best about his job, County Clerk Norval E. Thaler said/'The financial part, the figures. I’ve always done bookkeeping and I’ve always been treasurer of everything I belong to." “I enjoy meeting people,” he added. Thaler has two main duties, being clerk to the Barr}' County Board of Commissioners and to the Barry-Eaton Circuit Court. As clerk of the Circuit Court, he has control of all records of divorce, law and criminal cases. Thaler is also keeper of the Circuit Court seal which is used to certify some 275 dif­ ferent documents. As clerk of the Board of Commissioners, he presents all communications to the board and prepares all minutes. Thaler's abundant duties include serving as clerk for the Allocation Board, the County Election Canvassers, the Gun Board, the Platt Board and the Jury Commission. Thaler is the chief election official for the county and chairman of the Special Elections Committee. He is the passport agent and the registrar of vital statistics. His office handles the county payroll, files ail co-partnership and assumed name cer­ tificates and professional businesses. In addition, Thaler was elected chairman of the Reapportionment Committee, last year. Thaler said that the Reapportionment Committee comes into play every 10 years. Thaler, like his four deputies, serves a four-year term and is elected into office. He was first elec^d county clerk in 1975. Prior to that, he had served as Freeport village clerk since the mid-1950's and as Irving Township clerk since 1970. Thaler has also been a partner in an Ace Hardware in Freeport, which is also a plumbing and healing business, since 1952. Though Thaler, 57, lived across the county line, in Ionia, he went to Freeport High School. He graduated in 1942 and joined the Air Force in July of 1943. After the war, he crossed the line and settled in Barry County. Thaler's wife, Norma, owns Mary's Beauty Shop, 201 W State St. They also has two daughters and three grandchildren.

Jan. 29. on two counts of charges of unlawful driveaway of an auto Traffic volumes rise: Death toll falls again in state Motorists drove an estimated 62 billion miles on Michigan’s highways, roads and streets in 1981, up by 500 million miles from 1980. the Michigan Department of Tran­ sportation (MDOT) reports. The increase of eight-tenths of one percent foUowed declines the previous two years. Mileage rose to a record 67.4 billion in 1978, then fell to 64.9 billion in 1979 and 61.5 billion in 1980. The death rate of 2.54 per 100 million miles of vehicle travel is the lowest ever recorded. It is based on State Police reports of 1,552 killed during 1980 and an estimate that delayed deaths will raise the total to 1.575. The previous low of 2.9 was recorded both in 1979 and 1980. The fatality rate was 16.3 in 1935 The mileage estimate is based on con­ tinuous traffic counts at 75 locations monitored by the transportation department and on volumes of gasoline sold in Michigan. The 9,500-mile state highway system carried about half of the total traffic, and county roads and'municipal streets the remainder. The economic recession, soaring gas prices and expansion of public tran­ sportation. car pooling and other ride­ sharing programs all contributed to the decline in recent years. Bellevue woman reports bizarre events to police A Bellevue woman reported bizarre events to Barry County Sheriff’s deputies, last Monday and Thursday. Mrs. Ruth Holder. 8885 Jones Rd., Bellevue told Barry County Sheriffs Deputies that two young men came to her house, Monday af­ ternoon. asking to use the phone because their car had stalled. Holder told deputies that the two men, approximately 18 years of age, acted in a peculiar way while they were in her house. One was alternately going into the kitchen asking for a drink of water and walking to the living room and looking out the south win­ dow. The other made two or three trips to the bathroom. Holder said. When they were gone she noticed three rings, worth $130, missing from her bedroom. On Thursday night, two young men came to the door and asked to use the phone. She did not leF them in because she had had trouble a few nights earlier. At this point. Holder saic, one man jumped from behind the other and said, "This is a stick up. I have a gun — so do what I say and you won’t get hurl." The first young men had hair m his eyes and the second had a mask, she added. They pushed her into a kitchen chair and went through the house looking for things to take. Deputies say that Holder thinks they were the same men who were there the other night. “The boys who were there the other day knew that I had a watch under a green jar on a dresser going irito the kitchen," Holder told deputies. The watch was missing that night. Also taken were six silver handled spoons, that came from Germany during World War II. Before they left, they ripped out Holder’s telephone. Deputies found two sets of footprints that lead into a field north of her house, and ’hey believe that the subjects left the scene going north on Jones Road. The case was turned over to Detective Sergeant Kenneth DeMott for further in­ vestigation. DeMott said that there are no suspects at this time. Wendell Day is one of two Hastings school bus mechanics commended for the excellent condition of the district's 37 buses. Mechanic Darwin Swift was not avail­ able for the photo. (Bunner photo) State Police congratulate Hastings Schools for bus maintenance "Lt. Harvath was extremely com­ plimentary on the condition of the buses, the excellent maintenance program, and the fine cooperation he received from you,” Guen­ ther said in a letter to the two mechanics. "A personal call like this from a busy Slate Police officer is very unusual,* and I feel extremely gratified to know that we have such dedicated employees. You two fine men .(Day and Swift) are the reasons for the success of this program," Guenther said.

Grand St., Hastings Ph. 616-945-4020 MONDAY - FRIDAY 9 to 5; SATURDAY 9 to 12 �Two-year sentence awaits assailants of elderly or handicappers Landmark legislation requiring a two-year mandator,- jail sentence for anyone con­ victed of assaulting an elderly or han­ dicapped person has been passed 23-5 by the Senate, State Senators John Hertel (DHarper Woods) and Gilbert DiNello (D-East Detroit), announced recently. "Criminals purposely select older and handicapped persons as victims because they are easy prey.’’ said Hertel, sponsor of the legislation. "My bill, Senate Bill 252, sends a clear warning to criminals that singling out senior citizens and handicappers for their crimes will be punished by at least two years in jail.” DiNello noted that statistics show that the elderly are victimized more often than other age groups for certain types of crimes, and that older persons rank fear of crime as their most serious concern. •’Something must be done to deter crimes against the elderly, and 1 believe the cer­ tainty of punishment provided by SB 252 is the answwer,” DiNello said. "Our older citizens have worked hard all of their lives, paid taxes and been law-abiding citizei s, and we owe it to them to protect them as much as possible from criminal assault." Persons protected under SB 252 would be those age sixty and over, and those with a visible handicap. A criminal convicted of assaulting and injuring an elderly or han­ dicapped person would receive a mandatory two-year jail sentence that could not be suspended. , Additionally, the criminal would not be eligible for probation or parole while serving the mandatory two-year term. "The fear of crime among the elderly has forced many of them to become prisoners in their own homes, afraid • to walk to the grocery store or go to the bank." Hertel said. "1 believe this legislation will help give back to older citizens some of their freedom that has been stolen from them by muggers, robbers and rapists.” DiNello added that mandatory sentencing is a proven deterrent. "Following enactment of a 1977 Michigan law requiring mandatory sentences for crimes committed with a gun, Detroit General Hospital reported a 50 percent reduction in the number of patients requiring major operations for gunshot wounds," DiNello said. "This coincided with a 30 percent reduction in homicides in the city of Detroit." While both senators were pleased with Senate passage of SB 252, both warned that the legislation must still be passed by the House and signed by the governor before it can become law. “Because it is not certain that SB 252 will become law. 1 urge the continuation of the petition drive to place this issue on the November 1982 ballot for state voters to decide," Hertel said. To get the issue on the ballot, 229,000 validated signatures must be submitted to the secretary of state by May 26, 1982. Signed petitions should be returned to Senator John C. Hertel. State Capitol, Lansing. MI 48909, prior to that date, preferably by May 15. 1982. Additional petitions are available by either writing Senator Hertel at the above address or phoning his office at (517 ) 373-9417.

(Bonner photo) Gilmer says Gun Lake Sewer Authority should receive state fee this month by Elaine Gilbert A check for $470,000 is expected Io be mailed February 23 to pay for lhe Michigan Department of Natural Resource’s cost tc hook-up its facilities at Yankee Springs State Park to lhe new sewer facility at Gun Lake. "The battle is over,” said Slate Representative Donald Gilmer in an­ nouncing that lhe Senate House Ap­ propriations Committee approved the transfer of the funds Wednesday to the Gun Lake Sewer Authority. The House Appropriations Committee approved lhe transfer on December 16. The payment of the DNR's portion of the Gun Lake Sewer project should come as good news to a group of citizens in lhe Gun Lake Area. Last September, a group of angry area resisents staged a protest at the park en­ trance last September because they did not feel it was fair for private citizens to bb forced to meet payment deadlines for the sewer line when it appeared that the state did not have to comply to the same requirements. Gilmer became involved <n the matter last tall and has pushed for the fund transfer to permit the slate Io pay its sewer fee. Andy Downing who heads the Gun Lake Sewer Authority said the Senate Ap­ propriation Committee's approval of the fund transfer "sounds good" to him. However, he said. "I'm sliU a little skeptical until I gel it (the check) in my hand. He said the funds would cover the DNR's full user fee and back interest. He said the DNR has been paying its monthy usage costs and is up-to-date with that.

Stressful times may cause ulcers If-you think all your worries about paying holiday bills and taxes can give you ulcers, you're right. "Ulcer seasons", says a Michigan Slate University gastroenterologist, traditionally includes income tax lime as well as Christmas and New Years. Howard A. Dean. Jr. an assistant professor of internal medicine at MSU. says emotional stress is the key cause of ulcers. Ulcers, which have been described as "i he body digesting a bit of it­ self." are open sores in the stomach, or more frequently the duodenum. Dean says. They usually appear as a gnawing or burning pain one half to four hours after eating. SPECIAL MUSICAL TREAT “The New Life Singers'’ SUNDAY, FEB. 7...10:30 a.m. ENJOY THE SWEET MINISTRY OF THIS TALENTED SINGING GROUP. Assembly of God 1674 West State Road Hastings, Mich. Joellen Lancaster is starting her fifth book of local fire “history” in her Hastings home. Joellen started her series of scrapbooks on April 24, 1977 at the time of her husband, Clarence’s 44th birthday, shortly after his first run with the Hastings Fire Department. Joellen. has been taking color pictures, collecting newspaper clippings, putting them in the books and recording the time, date, place and outdoor temperalure of each fire run. Other bits of memorabilia to be found include, a certificate from the state fire fighters training council, for completing the 66-hour training course and a button for taking pledges all night for the Gerry Lewis Telethon. • Some of the Lancasters' four children ocasionally lake pictures of fires, as well. The books record practice fires, in which the fire department sets fire to a donated house to practice extinguishing it. Many pictures lead to interesting anec­ dotes. For example, the Lancasters hav? pictures of the well that Clarence fell into, after fighting a fire, and skinned his back. The fire, which occurred at a farmhouse, on Beuhler Road, May 19,1978, left a coat of ash that completely covered the opening of the well. "As they were taking him to the hospital,” Joellen added. "There was a fire call at the hospital." They have a picture of the official Hastings Fire Department mascot, their dog. Sandy, a "Heinz 57” breed. “We call her Sandra Dee when we'-re mad at her," Joellen added. The Lancasters live on 819 N. Michigan, conveniently close to the fire department. Joellen noted that he keeps his fire boots by the front door. That is why Clarence has been able to make it to 150 of the 200 fires that have oc­ curred since he joined the department, he said. Clarence added that Hastings Manufac­ turing. his employer, is very good about letting him and three other Hastings firemen off during he day to fight fires. Firefighting seems to be in both sides of the Lancaster family since Joellen has a brother who is a fireman at Crystal and Clarence has a brother who is a fireman at Freeport. Joellen’s regular occupation is not related to firefighting — she is a cook at Hastings High School. Firefighting is not always an adventure. "What's hard is when you get to the fire and you know the people," Clarence said. "When they're friends of yours." The most memorable fires in the scrap­ books include blazes al Cappon Oil. Sister’s Fabric and at the Middleville Hotel. The Lancasters have before, after and during pictures of the blaze at Cappon Oil. Nov. 10. 1981. ' "It was a scary one," Clarence said. "They've got an awful lot of fuel." "They had a lot of trouble with spec­ tators," Joellen added. “You couldn't keep them out." Middleville, Nashville and Hastings Fire Departments fought the fire at Sisters Fabrics, two days later, shortly after the Sports Bar fire occurred. Although Clarence was on vacation, he fought 'he fires, anyway. He was at the Sisters Fabric fire for eight hours. Joellen was assisting, taking bolls of fabric out of Sisters, to protect them from smoke damage Have you bought your DOG LICENSE?

Clarence has been a volunteer fireman since the spring of 1977. (Banner photo) "Wives often go out to lhe fire and bring coffee and sandwiches to them," Joellen added. "Wives are good backup," Clarence said. The coldest fire was at lhe Middleville Hotel, Jar.. 5,1981, early in the morning. The temperature was -20. Clarence remarked that even lhe fire didn’t keep him warm. “It's hard Io imagine not getting warm by a fire as big as that," he added. It was so cold that Clarence's camera didn't work. He said that somebody was able to take a picture of the fire from inside of an apartment, across lhe street. One of the Freeport firefighters in a newspaper picture has ice on his mustache. Their scrapbook also records fires in all kinds of conditions. The Smith barn fire ot Jan. 20,1981, on Wall Lake Rd., took place in lhe fog. "The smoke was mixing with the fog and you just couldn't see it," Clarence said. Also in lhe book are lhe fire department's practice sessions on extractions (extracting people from wrecked vehicles) water ball fights and fire safety presentations at the local schools. In waler ball fights, firefighters, or wives, hang a rubber ball from a cable and try to keep it on the opponent s side by spraying it with a hose. The winning side is the one who keeps the ball on the other side lhe longest. Other pictures of interest include a plane crash, south of Hastings, in September of 1979 and a water lower beii.g chopped down by lhe fairgrounds in April of 1980. Michigan man writes bad checks in Barry County, and entire state State law enforcement officials have set up a task force to track down a Michigan man who has been writing bad checks, including two in Barry County. Detective Robert Bishop of lhe East Lansing Police Department, is heading up a task force to track down a man who has been writing bad checks, usually over $300, all over southern Michigan. Michael David Moyer 39, who has operated out of banks in Kalamazoo ard East Lansing, has been writing checks to himself on lhe accounts of two phony companies, according to Hastings Police. Moyer wrote a bad check to Felpausch food Center. Hastings, for $126, Jan. 8, ac­ cording to Detective Dana Steidle of lhe Hastings Police Department. Barry County Sheriffs Deputies also report that Moyer bounced a check at a grocery store outside of the City of Hastings for $126, around Jan 9. Don’t forget to compose your “LOVE LINE” for next week’s Hastings Banner. Deadline is Tuesday afternoon Assistant Po’ice Chief Gordon Trick said that Moyer has been writing checks to himself from the accounts of Creative Marketing and Dynamic Communications. 414 W. Milham. Kalamazoo. Trick said that lhe no company by that name had ever been at that address. "He's been all they way to Benton Harbor to Lansing to Flint to Ann Arbor," Trick said. "He just moves around cashing them.” Trick said that lhe checks are usually written for about $400. Moyer has also had an account at the East Lansing Slate Bank, where he deposited "paychecks" from lhe two bogus companies. Police would not release information on how long Moyer had been passing checks, but one photocopy of a deposit slip to the East Lansing Slate, al the Hastings Police Department, was dated early November.

Drews is expected to work on the special project through the first half of the year and then file a report on his findings with MUCC and a joint legislative committee that is investigating uses of the Game and Fish Protection Fund, which is made up prin­ cipally of license fees. In exchange for its suppon of the omnibus sports licensing hill of 1980. MUCC insisted on - and obtained - a commitment that the Legislature would investigate the DNR's expenditures from the Game and Fish Protection Fund. The organization hired Drews al the beginning of this year to conduct an in­ dependent study of uses of the fund. "This is another of tne many services MUCC is constantly performing on behalf of its membership, which is comprised primarily of licensed hunters and anglers," said Dwight L. Ulman of Saginaw. MUCC president. 'We want to be certain that our license money is being spent wisely and without waste." A campaign to bring the American eagle back Io the most populous area of Michigan is being undertaken by the Michigan United Conservation Clubs (MUCC). As its contribution to the observance of 1982 as the "Year of the Eagle." MUCC has launced a drive to construct nesting plat­ forms for bald eagles in three strategic locations in the ’ ower Peninsula. The stale’s largest conservation organization is seeking to raise $10,000 in hopes of reestablishing eagle nesting on the Great I-ikes near Detroit and Bay City. "The objectives of this project are two­ fold." said Tim Eder. MUCC field representative in charge of the project. "First, to encourage a self-sustaining population of bald eagles to recolonize suitable habitat by constructing artificial nests in western Lake Erie, on Lake St. Clair, and on Saginaw Bay. Second, to demon­ strate the improved environmental con­ ditions in this heavily developed area and Io encourage a continuation of pollution-control programs.” Eder noted that 1982 marks the 200th an­ niversary of the designation by Congress of the bald eagle as the national emblem of the United Slates He said contributions to the eagle nesting project, which are lax-deductible, should be sent to MUCC Eagle Fund.

Douglas Dorman, manager of the Barry County Farm Bureau Insurance office, at­ tended the training course and will now train and supervise the marketing program locally. FCIC Field Office Director William A. Badgley said. Farm Bureau agents in Michigan will receive their training-in coverage and rales of “All Risk Crop Insurance" in the next few weeks. Shirley Tolles, secretary-manager of Farm Bureau membership, said that the agents in Hastings have received all of their materials. She added that the insurance will be available in February. The decision by the Farm Bureau of Michigan, to market "All Risk" crop in­ surance was made with the view that the would be able to meet the needs of the farme for crop protection. With the 1982 crop year, the intent of the Department of Agriculture is to eliminate the ASCS disaster payment program. The loss of this program will cause the farmer to be more reliant on the crop insurance program. Badgley said that the FCIC program lias been expanded in 1982 to include all Michigan counties. In addition to Farm Bureau, in­ dependent agents will also be selling “All Risk” crop insurance. The newly expanded program is designed to make coverage available to all farmers.

When mature, these trees are valuable as utility poles or sawlogs. Trees removed during intermediate harvest can be used as pulpwood or posts. Generally, a tree stand should be thinned before it is pruned. When planted in uniform rows, such as on a six foot by six foot spacing, every other row of pines should be removed during the first thinning. This should be done when the trees are three to six inches diameter at breast height (DBH). Subsequent thinnings should be restricted to crooked, forked, diseased or stunted trees. A thinning cycle of 5,10, or 15 years should be developed for immature stands. Trees in a pine stand should be pruned the year after a thinning or when they are four to six incnes DBH. Pruning should be com­ pleted by the time trees are 10 inches DBH. Do not remove live branches from more than one-half of the total tree height. Use a sharp pruning saw to cut branches flush with the trunk. Do not leave a branch stub. Plantation border trees should be left unpruned to reduce gusting winds through the stand. The Soil Conservation Service can provide additional information on pruning and thinning, cost-share assistance, and tree spacing requirement. The Barry Soil & Water Conservation District has a list of local pulp and timber buyers and consulting foresters. This list is available free upon request. Both the Soil Conservation Service and the Barry Soil & Water Conservation District offices are located in the US.D.A. Service Center, 535 W. Woodlawn, Hastings. The office phone number is (616 ) 948-8038. This article Is the second of a series prepared by Joseph Lukasiewicz, district conservationist, USDA Soil Conservation Service.

The millage requirement dropped by .2 mills because the board voted 5-0 to appoint Robert C. Miller, administrative assistant for non-instruction and acting junior high principal lo replace Richard J. Guenther as superintendent of schools from Jan. 1.1983 to June 30. 1983. By not hiring a new replacement, the board saved .2 mills in administrative costs. In an interview, Guenther elaborated on the millage figure. Up to 30 mills is matched by the state on approximately a one-third basis, he said. Therefore, the first 3.5 mills has potential of generating one third more (1.16 mills), or the equivalent of 4.66 mills. Multiplied against the state equalized valuation of the school district, $148 million, the proposed levy will raise $689,680. The additional proposed levy over 30 mills is 1.8 mills, which will raise $266,400. "Therefore, the total increase in monies (state and local), 5.3 mills will equal $956,080,” Guenther explained. Richard Groos, chairman of the board finance committee, said that the reduction in taxes, lo pay for bonds on the new high school and some buildings at Pleasantview, is estimated to be .9 mills. "As the value of the district increases, the amount that we levy every year decreases," Groos added. He explained that the debt levy will be reduced .9 mills regardless of the outcome of the April 26 election. The net millage increase will be 5.3 mills minus the .9 debt reduction or 4.4 mills ($822,880), Guenther explained. The board also voted 5-0 to approve the one-issue ballot which reads, "Shall the eligible voters of the Hastings Area School District authorize the increase of tne operating mills up to 5J mills for 1982-1983 and 1983-1984 (a two-year period)". "This ballot provides for instructional books, supplies, equipment deficit, contractal agreements which include main­ taining 25:1 pupil-teacher ratio in academics, elementary vocal music and physical education, K-12 library, athletics, band, maintenance fo buildings and grounds and the lease-purchase of school busses," Groos said. Groos said that he was informed by Paul Siegel, a Hastings attorney, that ihe original ballot choice, was not provided for in stale statute. The ballot design included four issues — Issue I: (Proposal one) instructional text­ books, supplies, equipment and deficit ; Issue 11: Proposal Iritis contract committments; Issue 111; Proposal 2 plus music, athletic, administration, library, physical education anti band; Issue IV: Proposal 3 plus main­ tenance and busses. Siegel said that such a ballot is a cumulative ballot for which there is no provision in Michigan law. “The law is such that you have lo vole on each proposition in separate ballots," Siegel said. "We came up with a ballot design that we fell lhecitizens were recommending,” Groos said. "But now, that's not legal. What the consensus of the community felt (which was on the ballot), the lawyers felt we couldn't do." Siegel confirmed his opinion with Truns, a Lansing law firm that specializes in school law, Groos added. About 30 people attended the meeting, and there were fewer questions and comments from the audience than usual. Hugh Fullerton, a concerned citizen, said thcl the board was committing suicide by choosing a one-issue ballot. He said that people will see the amount of money required for the millage and reject it automatically. Groos said “We rejected the shopping list (ballot design) because we don’t like to prioritize things.” In approving Miller’s appointment, the Ixiard also agreed lo several other ad­ ministrative changes for 1982-83 recom­ mended by the finance committee: — Miller be appointed acting superintendent of schools from Jan. 1, 1983 to June 30. During these six months, the board will solicit applications for the position. The new superintendent would be appointed July 1, 1983. — Lewis Lang will take over as acting junior high principal and director of in­ struction as of July 1, 1982. On Jan. 1, 1983, the position of junior high principal will be open to applicants and Lang will assume the combined duties of administrative assistant for non-instruction and director of in­ struction. — David Arnold, part-time principal of Central School, part-time teacher, will be appointed full-time principal of Central School on July 1, 1982.

(Bonner photo) Body recovered from Wilkinson Lake Hastings, Michigan Vol. 127, No. 6 Thursday, February 11,1982 Former commissioner speaks to Hastings Women’s Club County needs better management A former Barry County Commissioner told the Hastings Women's Club last Friday that county government needs improved management. Emmet Herrington admitted that he is a novice in the political arena but be said because of his experience as a top level federal executive for more than 30 years he feels comfortable and competent from a management and policy making standpoint to evaluate county administrative practices. “Never in those many years was I involved in a situation, an experience if you will, such as I observed during the two years I served as a county commissioner. It was most frustrating to repeatedly see situations needing correction or improvement and finding I was unable to bring about or to even obtain understanding for such change,” he said. He documented his opimons with ob servations made during his two-years of service on the county board and also urged the women's club to invite a speaker who holds opposing views to speak to the group. Herrington noted that county government is now a mutimillion dollar business “func­ tioning without benefit of written policy direction or means of communicating policy decisions to the several organizational en­ tities of the county.” He said, “A business (like county govern- Robert Miller named acting superintendent of schools by Liz Kingsbury The acting junior high principal and ad­ ministrative assistant for non-instruction al Hastings Schools will replace Superintendent Richard J.

He has coached wrestling, tennis and has served as assistant football coach. In 1959, Miller won a Fulbright Scholarship and spent a year in Burma. This experience earned him the nickname, "Bum»a Bob”, which some of his former students still use.

He will replace Richard J. Guen’her as acting superintendent of schools, for six months, starting Jan. 1, 1983. education programs in the universities. “I also aided them in starting rn Olympic team," Miller said. When Miller returned to Hastings, he used many of his slides of Burma in his world history class. This inspired his famous nickname, which the students used behind his back. In the mid 1960's, Miller received another title — Wrestling Coach of the Year for 19651966. Miller says that he has served on hundreds of committees. “It’s hard to name committees — everytime we study food service, energy....you,’re on a committee,” Miller said. He has been on the curriculum study committee, the committee of 504 (to study building access to the handicapped), and a lot of committees dealing with noninstruction. Miller is currently on the millage com­ mittee. His short-term goal for his six-month stint as acting superintendent is to provide the best education that the finances will allow. Miller is originally from Lyons, N.Y. While serving in the U.S. Navy, he met his wife Madelyn, a native of Michigan. After serving four years in the European Theater, during World War II, he settled in Michigan and earned his bachelor's degree from Western Michigan University. Before coming to Hastings, Miller taught in the Ionia schools for five years, while earning a master’s degree at the University of Michigan. The Millers have two children, Margaret. 28 and Carl, 20. Asked what hobbies he has, Miller said, “Mainly my work. I don’t have too many hobbies — I like to read and I enjoy travelling." Miller said that he would like to travel when he retires, but he’s not sure when that will be. "It depends on the economy at the time," he said. "I'd like to travel Europe and go back to Asia. But I’m not sure if 1’11 have the money; so 1 might have to be content to travel the United States.” ment) of this size with widely diversified responsibilities canno* be effective and ef­ ficient when day-to-day administrative decisions are based on what someone can remember." Herrington told the women’s club that he had "no quarrel with elected commissioners functioning as policy makers as they represent constituent views in the management of county affairs. “In former years when county government was less complicated and demanding, they could formulate policy and then carry out the relatively simple tasks of administering such policy. This is no longer possible.” Herrington advocates investing in what he termed modem management techniques used in successful multi-million dollar businesses today. He is a proponent for future establishment of a five-district county board and consideration of some type of centralized administrative authority as a means of improving county government. There are currently 11-commissioner districts. However, the County Reap­ portionment Commission recently adopted a plan to reduce the number of districts to seven. “Although I am happy to see the reduction of commissioner districts from 11 to seven, I have exercised my rights as a citizen and have appealed the decision of the ap­ portionment commission to the Second District Court of Appeals in Lansing," Herrington said. “I did this because I felt the apportionment commission did not follow the intent of the law as they decided on seven districts. As 1 see it the law equates more nearly to five districts," he said. Adopting the five-district plan would mean a savings of more than $100,000 to the count in the next decade, Herrington said. “What can seven commissioners do that five can’t do?" he asked. In discussing the need for a system of administrative direction in county govern­ ment, Herrington said, “Each department functions as an island unto itself with little or no direction or regard as to the overall mission of county government. No one has the authority or assumes the responsibility for coordination of county business affairs. Long term planning is almost non-existant." He said the county board of commissioners appears for the most part “to be practicing rubber stamp management, in sofar as many departments are concerned. There are a few exceptions." “I do not say these things unkindly nor do I wish to discredit those persons serving as commissioners. The work that is not being done under our present system is witness to The body of a Delton man who fell through the ice in Wilkinson Lake over a month ago, was recovered by divers Sunday morning. Divers of the Kalamazoo Water Safely Rescue Unit, assisted by Barry County Sheriffs divers, cut a hole in the ice and recovered the body of Allen G. Moats, 41, 10 Trails End, Wilkinson Lake, Delton, who fell thmigh the ice on the night of Dec. 13. Marine Sgt. Gerald R. Smith of the Barry County Sheriff Department, said that the first set of divers, from the Kalamazoo unit, went down at noon and located the body. He said that it took about 20 minutes to recover the body. The body was taken to Pennock Hospital and then to Williams Funeral Home in Delton. Trooper Kenneth Langford of the Hastings Team of ine Michigan Stale Police also assisted at the scene. Bruce Hageman, 17, of Wilkinson Lake, Del'on, had tried unsuccessfully lo rescue Moats in a boat after he heard Moats fall though the ice, Dec. 16, according to the Slate Police. The Wayland State Police went out on the scene and called out divers from Barry and Kalamazoo Counties. Divers searched for the body that night and the following morning, but did nol find the body. State Police said. Divers decided lo continue the search when the ice on the lake was thick enough for them lo go out safely, Wayland troopers added. Funeral services for Moats were held Thursday, 1 p.m., al the Williams Funeral Home, in Delton, with Rev. Robert Cosby officiating. Mnals, formerly of Kalamazoo, was bom Feb. 11, 1940, in Benton Harbor, to Robert and Pauline (Rentzell) Moats. He is survived by his mother.

Johnston Ron Reisterer, 30, a candidate for state representative, tried to tell the Hastings City Council his basic philosophy, Monday night, but he never got the chance. “I think it’s important to understand my basic philosophy of government," Reisterer said as he launched into a campaign speech. The candidate, who recently moved from Comstock to rural Nashville so that he could run in this district, also presented the council with handouts listing his proposals for economic recovery. Several minutes into his speech, Reisterer was interruped by Richard Shaw, city at­ torney, questioning the appropriateness of the speech during a council meeting. Shaw said that the business of the council was the business of the city and unless the speech could shed some light on that, it wasn't in order. “Since I’ve been city attorney, ’ Shaw said, “we've never had people give a campaign speech to the council." Shaw told the candidate that he was concerned about setting a precedent for delivering campaign speeches during council sessions. Gordon Fuhr, Third Ward councilman, agreed with Shaw's assessment. “I can see where a lot of time could be spent down here," Fuhr said, "using the city council as a vehicle to get this information out to people." Fuhr added that while he agreed with what Reisterer was saying, he didn't think the speech was being given in the right place and the right time. Reisterer said he hadn't intended to do anything improper, but he had been visiting township board meetings where some had let him talk. He told the council that he would be happy to sit down with them as a group or individually to express his views. The candidate then abruptly gathered his notes and left the meeting. During the regular business of the meeting, the council approved a new fund of $5,000 for economic development, to be used for the work of the recently formed group sponsored by the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce in cooperation with the city and county governments. Council will have to approve all dispersements from the fund. After receiving a letter from Cappon Oil Co. of Hastings offering to service the city's petroleum supplies, the council moved to take new bids. The bids will be the first taken in three years. Kent Oil Co. of Nashville currently supplies the city with gas and oil. Mayor Kenneth J. Howe reported that the policemen’s union had withdrawn its grievance against the city on supervision of night shifts. The grievance had been sent to arbitration, but a hearing had not yet been held. Howe said Police Chief Mark Steinfort had worked for a number of hours with union representatives to resolve the dispute without arbitration. Continued on page 8 Sending a card of love...

Without a state subsidy, the railroad will close. Do YOU think that Hastings and Barry County need a railroad to thrive and grow economically? Here is what they said.... Floyd Colvin 236 W.

Court, Tuesday morning, gave a mixture of opinions on the question for this week. “I feel that the railroad would be good if it could pay its own way,” said Floyd Colvin, manager of Felpausch Food Center, Hastings “I’m not in favor of a subsidy. The railroad is an asset, there's no question aoout it, but it's a luxury.” Jerry Brumm, owner of Nashville Hard­ ware and Sporting Goods, Inc. said,"I think that it would be helpful, but I think that trucking has taken the profit out of the railroads.” Helen Taravella, the bookkeeper for Birke's Shoes, said she thought that Hastings and Barry County need a railroad to grow and thrive economically ‘‘Historically, railroads have been an School board, continued — David Styf, part-time principal of Southeastern, part-time teacher, will be appointed full-time principal serving Nor­ theastern and Southeastern, on July 1, 1982. Grobs commented that there was a lot of shifting around, but it is the best stop-gap solution for the situation. ‘These guys have been working together for a long time." Groos added. "They all know each others’ jobs." “This still leaves us short-handed, but we feel, it's the best short-term solution at this lime,” he said. "We would like to stress that by filling the superintendent's and junior high principal's positions on an acting basis with existing staff for the remainder of the 1982-82 fiscal year, we save in salaries and fringes the equivalent of .2 mills." Groos added. "(The .2 reduction) will reduce the total millage requirements to 5.3 mills and still place two elementary principals on full-time." Guenther presented Dr. John Waltcn with a plaque commemorating Walton’s service on the board since 1968. Guenther recalled a lime, in 1967, when there was an enormous campaign to build the new high school, which was very suc­ cessful. To operate, the school needed an additional 2.4 mills, he said.

"My grandmother moved to a small town," Taravella said. "And she was very embarrassed because the train backed into her village. To her that was not the kind of place she wanted to live.” "I have mixed opinions about this,” said Hastings City Treasurer Phyllis Hames. She feels that the state is making a deadful mistake in letting the railroads close down "However, we’re gotten to the point where we can no longer subsidize anything. "In the event of a truck driver's strike, our hand are tied. Should there be a national The people who had been successful in in the high school campaign said to soft sell the millage, Guenther explained, which resulted in a defeat. “It was the first millage loss we had ever had and we were extremely taken back by it," Guenther said. “Shortly after this, I received a note from Mrs. Walton which read, ‘Jack and I want you to know that we support you and we want to help. "I later found out what this meant — she had the petitions out for the old man." The plaque was inscribed with the following message:"Our profound thanks from the school board and administration.” Guenther also gave Walton an honorary alumnus pass to attend all school activities without charge. Walton accepted the plaque and pass thanking the school board, the staff and the citizens for their cooperation. “I regret having to resign,” he said. "But I felt a bit burnt out.” The board also approved Guenther's recommendations that two school board dates be changed. They voted to reschedule the March 16 meeting to March 8 and to schedule the April meeting for the 27th, the day after the election.

Guenther announced that the following people are running for seats on the school board: for a two-year term, Ted Bustance and Marshall Cappon; for a four-year term. John Warren, Larry Haywood, Mike Trahan, Diane Hoekstra, Joe Daniels, Ann Hubert and Judy Sharp; and undecided are Ron Miller and Hugh Fullerton. Guenther also gave data on the special millage election set for April 26. The last day for registration shall be March 29, he announced. Two precincts are to be established: one at Pleasantview School for electors who live in the former Pleasant view district and the other at the Hastings Area School District. The county canvassing board will meet the day after elections, April 27, to canvass votes. Also approved were the minutes of the Jan. 18 meeting, the financial statement as of Jan. 31, the bills, the trust and agency fund report, the student services fund report and the monthly budget report. To the Editor: When are the congressman, senators, etc. (the employee) going to make concessions with us taxpayers (the employer)? Wage cuts, freezes, benefit cuts should be being made. We all know the debt of the country, yet the employee is making no concessions to help, as the auto workers are being expected lo. If they are out to get rich, then they ought to find a different job. We then should find someone to hold office who could best represent the majority of us taxpaying citizens. That someone wouldn’t be spending $1,000 on a place setting of china because the majority of us taxpayers couldn't afford that. I think we d all be better off by putting a common housewife (or househusband) in charge of the government budget. After years of experience us house budgeters know that we can't borrow from Peter to pay Sam. I'm curious, does a $1,000 place setting of china affect the flavor of the food? Maybe a different cook should have been hired in­ stead. ATaypayer (Oneof the Employers) Wendy Barnum Thought for the Week: Auction — where you get something for nodding. To The Editor: You probably won’t print this, but I hope you do. it may save a young girl pain and even save a life. Everytime I pick up the newspaper or turn on the T. V. or radio, I see and hear about abortions and babies being left at doors or in garbage cans. I wish they would leave one at my door! I believe that a baby is living from the time of conception. You hear that the reason for abortions is that the girls don’t want them or can’t afford them. If they can have them, then why not get fixed so that they can’t conceive, rather than kill the babies. It’s not the babies, it’s the women and girls. They won’t put babies in homes. Yes, all you need to have to adopt is a good home, money, and a year or five. Ask a child what it wants! A mother and father, brothers and sisters, love, food and a place to sleep. Not money — cars, rich homes. Just the love of a family. Fix up the adoption centers and you won’t have kids there very long. IM give anything to have another child, even in this day and hard times. I have four now and have a low income but high love. So all I can do is ask why can’t we put a slop to killing babies. I have one girl, 13, and I’ve spent 85 per­ cent of her life sitting in a hospital with her going from life to death and back lo life and I would do it again. That is being a mother. My kids are liars, thieves, fighters, mean and rotten, kind, loving caring and helping. They are always wanting or needing always one is sick or one is hurt, always hungry, dirty, messing up the house, breaking things or in trouble, but that’s because they are kids and are still learning I didn’t know I would go through all this and I can say it’s worth it all, and, when I hold one of them and hear "Gee, Mom, I love you", I know it has been worth the pain and hell. When a child is conceived, it isn’t asking to be, it is chosen lo be part of you. They are yours but most of all they are God's! You go through death to give them life. As God will call them home one day and no one knows when. So why should anyone other than God have the right to end a life before it has a chance. Sharon Payne To The Editor: We have something unique. Something to jealously protect It's Charlton Park. It is now threatened. For more than a decade the building process has been with the intent to preserve historical artifacts collected for a life time by a man who believed in the past. Buildings which might have otherwise been destroyed are now intact in the village. Family treasures are safe within the museum. Our children take for granted: expressways, shopping mrlls, plastics, fast foods, etc; luxuries which seem to have always been available. They ask, "What would I do if I didn't have television?" These children have the opportunity, because of Charlton Park, to observe another time. We go to the park and have the ex­ perience of observing how people lived outside their time-frame. To me it’s nostalgic. To them it’s an educational ex­ perience. Charlton Park is a "living museum”. A recreation area was developed for us, but carefully carved out so as not to ravage the natural environment. There are special events varied enough to suit different in­ terests. Still, the benefactor, “Drive ’ Charlton wanted the land and the artifacts, along with the presevations of history and natural beauty. He did not intend his legacy to be exploited for profit but to be per­ petuated for future generations. There have been many people who have worked en­ dlessly to care for his philosophy and protect IL Now there are those who want to cut down the natural stands of woods, level the existing land to build a road leading to concrete slabs designed for a public cam­ pground. Has there been an environmental impact study? No. The ramifications involved for such a project are beyond comprehension. Do you believe estimates could even be realistic? Septic tanks, water lines, roads, garbage, maintance, security, etc. Money? Do you want to support such heavy expenses for only a few to enjoy for a few weeks out of the total year? It would be my educated guess if you would ask the Michigan Department of Natural Resources whether or not a campground is profitable, they would point out how difficult it is to try to maintain such a campground as Gun Lake State Park. And, they have state funds for revenue. I’m not against camping. I enjoy it. However, I don’t believe Charlton Park should be exploited for this purpose. Money from the Charlton estate and tax revenue should be used to preserve the history and natural resources for which it was originally intended. I fiercely oppose the plans now being made to desecrate the legacy left to us. There are only a few who are now involved. We can all exercise our rights and become also in­ volved. Be concerned. Let your opinions be heard. We're enjoying a democracy. Be a part of it. Speak out. 1 will fight against this proposed project It’s my right.

Lakewood Schools were closed again Monday for the fifth Monday in a rov» due to the storm over the weekend that drifted most of the country roads full of snow Personally, it was our fifth Sunday of being snowed in and missing church services.

The report late Monday night was that he had gone through the operation nicely and the doctors had found nothing seriously wrong. There was no service again Sunday at Zion Lutheran Church due to the road conditions. Velte Road, where the church is located is always one that drifts badly when the north­ south roads get it and it isn’t usually one of the first to be plowed out. This year has been no exception and these storms that come Saturday, and late at night, don’t do anything to increase church attendance Sunday.

Park Commission has many plans for Barry County’s Charlton Park "Generosity of Irving Charlton made the Charlton Park Museum and Village possible and the same kind of unselfishness and devotion from hundreds ol park volunteers keeps it alive today, the chairman of the Barry County Park Commission staled at the January meeting of the Barry County Historical Society. Kensinger Jones of the commission, which oversees the park, museum and village, predicted 1982 will be a bigger year than ever - with hot air balloon ascensions, the first cross country ski races, and further development of campgrounds - added to the Charlton Park’s already busy schedule. Mr. Jones characterized Irving Charlton, donor of the land and original building and his vast collection of pioneer artifacts, as one of the most incredibly acquisitive men who ever lived in Barry County or elsewhere. His talent for getting and preserving was overshadowed only by his ultimate ability to give the park for the enjoyment of the people of Barry County, Jones said. Illustration, by colored photo slides, of the village’s thirteen buildings were shown. Of particular interest were the fully equipped one-room school house, formerly the Lee School, the lovely Gothic church, a gift from Carlton Center, and the restored Hastings Mutual Building. Restoration of the Bristol Inn was made possible by an unnamed donor an4 a federal grant. The building was donated to Charlton Park in 1969 by Wayne Ferris. All of the Inn’s furnishings have come from volunteer donations of a citizen s group. “Today, the Charlton Park Historic Village goes far beyond its founder's fondest dreams. Where there was once a jumble of unrelated artifacts there is now a recreated village which shows the way things were 100 years ago,’’ Jones said. He illustrated the arts and crafts work of the Folklife Festival, the crowds at the Bluegrass Music Festivals and the Antique Car Show. An additional 150 acres of adjoining land obtained in 1969 made possible swimming beaches, picnic shelters, boat launches, a ball diamond, and a playground. Private foundation gifts and citizen gifts, together with government grants, enabled the park commision to add these features to the park, he said. "All these things can only happen through the efforts of people who are as dedicated to the park as was its founder. These are the volunteers who give countless hours to the park without any pay except the knowledge that the park is fulfilling its promise. Volunteers serve as guides, cooks and waiters, store keepers, blacksmiths, weavers, tatters, spinners and carders, schoolmarms, tend the still on the hill, coopers and carpenters," Jones added. He urged the society’s members to become and continue as park volunteers through donations of lime, through gifts of money and will bequests, through adding to the museum's collections with family memorabilia. In other historical society business, Membership Chairman Ernie Appelman reported a count of 74 members at the beginning of the meeting. The society’s, participation in the 50th Anniversary of the Barry County Health Department commemoration was termed a "success" by James K. Gordon, cochairman of the event. He reported that photos and letters and a series of news ar­ ticles were being preserved. The 50th Committee is endeavoring to reproduce the series in a booklet form so that it can be purchased by interested persons. The Public Relations Committee chairman reported through the society’s president. The report was accepted. The Striker House Study Committee reported that there have been no new developments in the preservation of the house. The reputed secret passageway, now • thought to originate in the basement of the house, was not discounted. Zane Mead, Chairman of the McKeown Road Bridge Committee, reported that the bridge is still in use and, in fact, a new plank will be added for its maintenance. The Ephemeral Publications Preservation (scrapbook for newspaper clippings) Committee was given an additional member, Eileen Oehler. She will assist Chairman Agnes McPharlin in the preservation of historical articles of Nashville, written by Sue Hinckley for the Maple Valley News. It is planned that the society will present permanent and bound volumes of the articles to the Nashville Putnam Library and the Hastings Public Library. The China Plate Committee, Mary Lamb, Les Bowerman and Agnes Smith, reported that there is a limited number of small plates yet available for sale to collectors. 1 The plates illustrate an oki photo of the County Courthouse. New editions, with different illustrations, of china plates are planned for 1982. The historical society formally approved its sponsorship of a Spring Fest at Charlton Park with profits to be donated to the park. Saturday evening. May 22. is the date selected. A progressive supper in the park's 13 buildings, musical entertainment and a visit from "Yankee Bill" Lewis of Yankee Springs fame, are planned. Persons attending will be urged to dress in costumes of the 1870's. The society also voted to republish “Fresh Out of the Attic," by Harold Burpee, for sale to persons interested in Barry’ County history. The collection of newspaper articles gained wide reknown in previous years and is now a collector's item. There has been an increasing demand for a republication. Soceily actions was taken to publish a country atlas of 1860 based upon the "wall map" atlas of 1860. The large six by four foot map would be reduced to one page for each township. The society has been informed that such atlas republications is popular and profitable. The society voted to become a patron member of the Bernard Historical Society and Museum. The membership cost is $101.00 and is intended to assist the continued operation of the Bernard Museum, in the Delton area. Dr. Prosper Bernard's death of a year ago interrupted the primary source of the museum's sustainance. Dr. Bernard was a noted historian of the southwest quadrant of Barry Country townships and the founder of the society and museum which bear his name. His long years of devotion to the recording and preservation of Barry County history was recognized by the county historical society which awarded him the Dislinquished Service Award of the county society posthumously. Since Dr Bernard's death, Mr. and Mrs. Clare Richards of Delton have worked ar­ duously to maintain the museum by soliciting endowments and new mem­ berships. Mr. Richards, the president of the Bernard society, encouraged individual memberships of $3.00 and life memberships of $40.00. Nearly forty members of the county society braved the January weather to at­ tend. They were served hot beverages and refreshments by Charlotte and Adelbert Heath. Chester Stowell, and Eileen Oehler. The society recognized and expressed its sympathy on the passing of one of its active members, Alvin Cruttenden The historical markers committee was requested to give a progress report at the next meeting on markers for Nashville's Putnam Library and Carlton Township Hall. Committee members are Neal and Marion Cook, Carl and Alice Brodbeck, Clare Richards, Tom Neithamer, Ned Hughes, Bernice Offley, Willis Dalton, Don Fisher. Roman C.

KEN LAWRENCE The Hastings Millage Steering Committee will conduct two telephone campaigns as part of their plan for promoting the proposed millage increase. The first campaign will be to identify the “yes" voters and second campaign will be to get out the vote, the committee decided at its meeting, Tuesday night. The committee which consists of members of the Hastings Board of Education, parents and members of the Hastings Education Association concentrated on the ground work of the campaign — recruiting volunteers, setting deadlines and legal matters. About 30 people attendedJhe meeting at the Junior High School, chaired by Dr. Lynn McConnell. Robert C. Miller, acting junior high principal and administrative assistant for non-instruction said,"There are only three people here that are not employed by or directly connected with the school." “This group, as the title states, is a millage steering committee," McConnell said. “We are a nucleus. We cannnot single-handedly pass this millage." During the meeting, the committee set many deadlines. The committee is aiming to finish the first phone campaign March 19 and to start the second one by April 12. The third major objective of the committee will be to identify the parent voters, especially those with school aged children. The committee plans to compare a list of registered voters to a list of parents (many people suggested that the parent list be compiled by local teachers) and make a master card catalog. George Wibalda, member of the Hastings Board of Education, suggested that the committee look into the legality of telephone lists, since some people have unlisted numbers. Miriam Sorby, president of the HEA, pledged the HEA to make up the school aged parent list The committee also plans to make up a pre-school aged parent list. Another goal of the committee is to recruit poll watchers, to make sure that voters are registered. “When I look at these (goals) J wonder, where all the people (to volunteer) are coming from," McConnell said. “And we're the people who are going tc have to gather them." McConnell said that the committee shculd address service groups such as Kiwanis and Rotary. "The city and the chamber are concerned with bringing in new industry to town,” he added. “People won’t come here if we don’t have a good school system." Teacher LaVerne BeBeau said that the committee should not go after the “no” voters but persuade the non-voters tc get out and vote. BeBeau said that Richard Guenther, superintendent of schools, plans to contact retired teachers in the Southeast, who are absentee voters, and encourage them to fill out ballots. During the discussions the question arose of having school employees as phone solicitors. “If we don’t become involved as teachers, people are going to think we don’t care,” BeBeau said. Many felt that teachers are parents, too and they have just as much at stake as other parents. Committee members also agreed that harmony and a high morale among school staff members was essential in passing a millage. “The number one thing in a successful campaign is cohesiveness among the staff,.” Sorby said. To boost the campaign, the committee had compiled a list of slogans for buttons. Some of them are: “Have Class — Vote Yes" and “I.Q.S. — Improve the Quality of the Schools". The next meeting for the committee will be Feb. 23.

"We receive all the county money from all the departments."said County Treasurer Elsie B. Furrow. "We do the banking for all of those monies " Furrow said that collecting delinquent properly taxes is one of the office's primary functions. “My biggest job is investing County money,” Furrow said. The job description, provided by the county treasurer's office, reads,"As an elected official, the county treasurer is repsonsible for receiveng, recording and dispursing county funds. (She is) authorized to collect fees ans taxes, receive monies collected by other departments and funds allocated to the county.” in addition, the county treasurer prepares property tax and inheritance tax statements, conducts annual tax sales to collec and dispurse delinquent taxes. She is responsible for the inventory of safety deposit boxes. She is also in charge of searching files for property descriptions, and tax histories. The county treasurer’s office is the place to go to buy a dog or kennel license. Furrow serves as a member of the Tax Allocation Board, the Plat Board and the Election Board. In the job description, item 13 reads, under the subheading entitled, "Typical Duties", reads, "Invests surplus cash when available." Of item 13. Furrow said,"You can tell that item is old because investment has become my main job.” Furrow is not sure when the job descrip­ tion was drawn up, but she says,"In the last five years, there was not a lot of surplus cash available. There was no difference in in­ terest rales. Nowadays, the money market is so wild end changes so (much), that I have to shop for the best interest rates in the county — and 1 do.” Also, procedures for collecting delinquent taxes have resulted in surplus cash for the treasurer's office, Furrow added “In the past, the townships, the schools and the county only received money as we received the taxes,” Furrow said. "But in the past five or six years, the county has bonded to pay off delinquent taxes. We try to do this before the end of the school fiscal year, June 30. "You have the money to invest, whereas before you had to wail for it.” The treasurer’s office works closely with the County Clerk, the Register of Deeds, the Abstracts Department and the Equalization Department. Furrow look her first job with the county when she was elected county treasurer. Jan 1, 1969. Born in Middleville, raised in Grand Rapids, she and her husband; Roland, moved to Hastings in 1939. Furrow is the mother of six sons, one of whom died a year ago. She has nine grand­ children. Before becoming county treasurer, Furrow worked in the City Clerk’s office. Furrow said what she likes best about her job is "the people that you meet and work with." Her hobbies range from sewing to playing the organ to fishing with her husband. Furrow said that her goals are "outside of following the stale guidelines, making as much money as I can for the county by in­ vestment.” Furrow has two deputies, Doris Martin, bookkeeper; and Maxine Killinger, who takes care of delinquent taxes. Juanita Yarger, the account clerk, is the one Furrow calls the public relations person. “(she) answers the phone and calms down customers,” Furrow said. "I do everything, but my main job is the books,” said Deputy Doris Martin. Her other job is waiting on customers when everybody is busy. She has one daughter, Judy, who works as a microfilm operator at the registrar of deeds office. Originally from Reading. Martin moved to Hastings in 1960. She started working in the treasurer’s office in March of 1968. Before working for the county, she was a clerk at Jacobs Drug Store. Between Sep­ tember of 1968 and January of 1969, Marlin was acting county treasurer, after Verling Gillespie resigned. Her hobbies include ceramics, knitting and crocking. County Commission, continued from page 1 these views... 1 believe elected com­ missioners can serve a vital and useful purpose as policy makers — Administration of such policy is a full time job and a profession unto itself," said Herrington. On the subject of county budget management, he said much has been done in recent years to stabilize and control departmental budgets. "More needs to be done, when I was first on the commission I was amazed to find that some departments routinely overspent their budgets without first communicating with the com­ missioners. For example, in 1979, it was necessary for the commission to make up­ ward adjustments in the county budget of some $224,000 due to overspending by the departments.' He also pointed out that "this type of loose management is not peculiar to our county" and mentioned that the Sheriffs Department in Calhoun County overspent their 1981 budget by some $750,000. "The county has no organized system of purchasing and contracting. No system exists for mass or for bulk purchasing of gaods, supplies or services. There is no at­ tempt at standardization of purchases in the interest of economy. Because of the failure to use written specifications and competitive bids it is impossible to assure quality control or of recovery from a contractor or supplier where sub-standard material or work­ manship is involved. There is no system of accountability for county-owned property," Herrington said and added that the county doesn't even know how many typewriters it owns. He said he is pleased that the county is updating and correcting a wage and salary system for its employees as a management tool. Herrington told the women's club that his ideas for improving county government did not generate much support from his fellow commissioners when he was on the board. He said several commissioners and department heads privately endorsed his thoughts but that only two had spoken out publicly. Herrington said that about 40 of the 83 counties in Michigan have adopted some type of centralized managemert as a means of improving their management practices. He told the audience that the Barry County board refused to even consider appointing an objective study committee to see if improved management practices were needed. "According to a study by Fred Todd, controller of Ingham county, released in July, 1981, county government spending is $84.99 per resident in those counties with an administrator and $117.75 in those without. As of this time I have not determined per capita costs in our county as would be shown in county records,” he said. "Change should never come about solely for the sake nf change itself. Change for the sake of improvement should always be considered," said Herrington. He said be again plans to ask the county board to appoint a committee similar in structure to the one I proposed two years ago for the purpose of determining the need for an administrator. City Commission continued from page 1 Steinfort said later that the dispute was primarily a communication problem bet­ ween the department management and bargaining unit. The union had filed a grievance to clarify who had authority to assign two man cars after darkness. The chief said the disagreement was resolved after he rewrote an order originally written in June under the direction of former chief William Brandt. Howe also read legal opinions from Shaw regarding use of wrecker services by the city. The issue arose alter one wrecker service had said it would have performed some services for the city at a lesser charge than a competitor. Shaw said the city had the option of using any wrecker service desired and was not required to to spread use among different companies, though it might do so to avoid an appearance of impropriety. The mayor said he would direct city of­ ficials to rotate use of wrecker services among local companies. Another legal opinion from Shaw reported that the attorney felt Gary's Wrecker Ser­ vice was not violating zoning ordinances on storage of wrecked vehicles because he was not storing them at his building within the city limits. Shaw said that Gary Birman, owner, was planning to erect a building in the late spring or early summer to comply with the city code which requires inside storage and posting of a bond. Shaw also said that Hastings Wrecker Service was in compliance with the zoning ordinance.

The Comets outrebounded the Saxons by a 46-21 count for the game, and outscored Hastings 21-8 in the third quarter. It was the third win of the season for Grand Ledge and dropped the Saxons to 5-10 for the year. The Comets, who play tough Class A and B competition in the Lansing and Jackson area, were probably glad to see the short Saxons come to town, Hastings mentor Denny O'Mara admitted. “They are a better team than their record shows," O'Mara said. “We gave them a lot of help though. We just didn’t come up with anything on the boards." Rusty Miller, the Comet's 6 foot 4 inch center, was the biggest thorn in the Saxon's side. He tossed in 24 points and 11 rebounds, tops in both categories for the game. "He (Miller) had good moves when they got it inside to him and he is a good rebounder," O’Mara said. "But I think thev just outhustled us on the boards.” Dann Howitt, the Saxons senior center who returned to action after being out for three weeks, was the lone bright spot for the Saxons on the boards. Playing with his wrist heavily wrapped he grabbed seven caroms, scored six points and handed out three assists. Senior forward Steve Del Cotto led the Saxons in scoring as usual. He had 19 points on 6 field goals and seven free throws. The only other Saxon in double figures was fresh­ man guard Mark Brown who tossed in 11. The Saxons stayed in the game until the third quarter when they went into a four minute drought without a point Down by seven after the first quarter the Saxons battled back within four by halftime. But the Comets burned the nets in the third stanza while the Saxons fizzled and Grand Ledge was on top 55-38 heading into the final frame. The benches played the fourth quarter as the Saxons trimmed the lead to ten. The Saxon guards had a "cod" night from the floor hitting a combined total of five of 23 field goal attempts. Brown hit two of seven shots, senior guard Steve Morgan one of seven, and senior guard John Karpinski one of five. „ The Saxons stand at 5-10 with five ganpes remaining. They take their 3-6 Twin^aDey mark on the road Friday to Harper CretK, and next Tuesday to Jackson Northwest. In other games Tuesday: All 12 Trojans played and 11 of them scored in the romp. Forwards Bill Schwartz and Brian Miller and sophomore center Dave Perry helped lead the way scoring in double figures and controlling the boards. Miller scored 14 points and grabbed 11 rebounds and Perry had 14 points too, along with six rebounds. Schwartz returned to the lineup after missing a game with a cut tliat required stitches He responded with 10 points and led rebounders with 11. The Trojans outrebounded Hamilton 49-32 over the four quarters. Senior guard Steve Scott was the leading Trojan scorer with 16 points. He also collected three steals and handed out seven assists. Jim Schipper turned in a valuable floor game with seven points, five rebounds, two steals and five assists. The Trojans burned the nets with a 44 percent mark from the field and an 81 per­ cent mark from the free throw line. Hamilton on the other hand hit only 15 of 71 shots from the field, a 21 percent mark. A 27 point second quarter and 22 point third quarter iced the bailgame for the Trojans. The win lifts the Trojans to 13-1 overall. On Friday they travel to Kelloggsville and next Tuesday visit Hopkins. Lakewood 57 Greenville 54 The Lakewood Vikings couldn't buy a free throw Tuesday, but they came up with enough points anyway dropping Greenville 54 57in Tri-River action. The victory gave the Vikes a two game lead in the race with four’ league games remaining. A 58 percent field goal shooting mark rescued the Vikes who managed only 11 of 28 free throws in the game. "I was beginning to wonder why they call them free throws,” Coach Roily Krauss said. “We couldn't even buy one.” The Vikings outscored the Yellowjackets Middleville 82 Hamilton 51 The Thomapple-Kellogg Trojans moved one step closer to the OK-Blue crown rolling past third place Hamilton81-53 in Middleville Tuesday. The win lifts the Trojans league record to 8-1 and gives them a game lead over Hud nville y^ith five remaining on the schedule. * Trojan coach Skip Pranger called Tuesday's win a "total team effort for four quarters". "We have played that well at times before, but never for an entire game,” Pranger said. "The kids just played super. A good effort, probably the best of the year.” over second and third quarter leading at times by as much as 12 points. In the final quarter Greenville put the pressure on and fouled the Vikes several times. The strategyworked in their favor with the Vikings missing and forced to hang on to a slim lead. The Vikings hit only 8 of 20 free throw attempts in the fourth quarter, many of them one and the bonus situations. "I don't know what would have happened if we hadn’t hit the field goals,” Krauss said. "As a team everyone is over 60 percent at the line. I just couldn't believe it was hap­ pening." All of the coach's worry was for nothing as it turned out. Senior forward Jeff Duits scored 22 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to lead the Vikings to victory. The other Viking forward, Tom Eckstrom, tossed in 18 points. A 37-24 advantage on the boards helped the Vikes too. Randy Hazel grabbed eight to help Duits out. Point guard Scott Hershberger turned in a super all around game with three points, seven rebounds and six assists. The win lifts the Vikings to 8-5 for the season, 8-1 In the Tri-River. On Friday Belding, the only league team to beat Lakewood, pays a visit. Next Tuesday the Vikes entertain non-league Barry County foe Maple Valley. Gull Lake 88 Delton 80 Gull Lake jumped to a big lead over the first three quarters and had to hold off a furious Panther rally down the stretch to take a 88-80 non-league win Tuesday. Montcalm. If the Lions win, it throws the TCAA lead into a three way tie and up for grabs iteading into the final two weeks of action. Countdown to March Madness: 5 games... Here are C.J.’s picks and comments for Friday’s contests. Saxon spikers 2nd in T. V. Splitting a pair of Twin Valley matches on Friday has left the Hastings Saxons girl’s volleyball team lodged in second place in the league, three games behind undefeated Sturgis. Sturgis showed the Saxons why with a 1510,15-3 verdict in the first match Friday, but Hastings rebounded to win a second match over Albion in three games, 15-1, 12-15, 15-2. The split left the Saxons at 5-3 cn the season tied with Harper Creek for second place. Sturgis moved to 10-0 in the Twin Valley with their pair of wins. “Sturgis is a very good team, and they don't really have a weakness," Saxon Coach Tom Freridge reported. Amy Stack led Saxons scorers on Triday, scoring 12 points in the two matches. Beth Poll served up 11 and Buni Guenther added 10 to the cause. Other Saxons that fared well in the scoring department were Teresa Hause who collected six and Kristi Bayer who notched five. “The match against Albion was a good team effort," Freridge said. “Dawn White set really well and Lisa Brownell and Jackie Jaynes played very good defense.” Earlier in the week the Saxons split in non- league competition. In a pair of matches on Tuesday they nipped Battle Creek Central in three games 15-11,3-15 and 15-7, but lost to a strong Belding squad, 9-15, 15-12, 12-15. o "We played hard with Belding, but couldn't quite cope with their height and hard spikers," Freridge said. Belding came into the match rated number nine in Class B. Stack and Poll were the leading Saxon scorers again. Stack collected 18 and Poll added 15. Other Saxons that contributed to the scoring were Jaynes with 12, and Lori Teunessen with seven. Freridge praised Guenther and Lisbeth Godfrey for their spiking duties. On Tuesday of this week the Saxons suf­ fered a loss in another non-league game. Lakewood came to town and defeated the Saxons in front of a "parent’s night crowd". The loss left the Saxons at 8-6 overall heading into conference action Friday hosting Harper Creek and Marshall in the Saxon gym. “We are playing quite well and improving all the time,” Freridge said. "We seem to have problem with the taller teams but we hang in there." Forbes at 126, and Jon Douglas at 198. Four other Saxons were pinned by their opponents. They were Jeff LaJoye at 98, Chuck Prucha at 132, Mark Case at 167 and Vince Bradley at heavyweight Bill Pelfrey and Tony Heath wrestled in exhibition matches, each losing via decisions. The regular season is over "but the Saxons wrestle in the Twin Valley Conference meet this weekend. After that Hastings High will be the host of tournaments the next two weekends.

Two Saxon wrestlers did all the scoring for their team. Larry Hoffman, the 155 pounder for Hastings, collected some of the points with a nin at 1:35 of his match with a Fighting Scot opponent. The rest of the points resulted from John Lenz, a 185 pounder, winning a 129 decision. The Saxons didn't fill three weight classes, suffering forfeits at 105, 138 and 145. Four Saxons lost on decisions. They were Jim Bolo at 112, Hutch Clason at 119, Bob With the score tied at 10 in the first quarter Gull Lake ripped off 15 points in-a-row without an answer and led 27-12 heading into the second period. The lead was 15 at half, and 17 going into the final quarter. A Panther press that didn’t work earlier in the game started to come up with the ball and Delton closed the gap furiously in the last stanza. With 1:30 remaining the Panthers trailed by four at 88-84, but they ran out of gas. "It wasn’t a good defensive game cither way," Delton coach Bob Prentice said. “They hit 68 percent of their shots in the first quarter and we weren't getting a hand in their face. That was the story.” The Panthers outscored Gull Lake 27-18 over the final period. "We did a great job of coming back," Prentice admitted. "I think the guys realized we were being embarassed." Gull Lake controlled the boards holding the Panther front line to just five offensive rebounds in the game, and winning the overall board battle by a 40-29 count. Simonovic led the Panthers with 11. Center Dave Barry led the Panthers with 25 points in the losing effort Steve Berry came off the bench and notched 14, several oft steals on the press, and Tony Green, Chuck Simonovic and Rick Swinehart each scored 10 points. The eight point difference was at the line. Gull Lake hit 21 of 29, compared to Delton's 12 of 20 mark. The loss drops the Panthers to 7-7 on the season, 5-4 in the KVA.

Outdoor Report; Barry County is the winter home of snowbirds offering area bird watchers an easy to view subject. The ••snowbirds", a general name used to describe both snow buntings and horned larks, are easy to see because they have a habit of flying ir. large groups to and from landing sites. The large flocks can number from 25 to hundreds as they search out abundant food sources like farmer’s fields. They have a habit of jumping up in unison, flying a short distance and then landing all together. When they do this, the reflection off their wings gives a sparkling appearance like the snow on the ground. They commonly frequent large open fields according to DNR biologist John Lerg, and that gives bird watchers plenty of oprtunities to see them. Some of the horned larkc will stay here in spring, but most of both species will move into Canada to nest. Finally Barry County was blessed with a weekend lacking a full scale blizzard. Snow is over a foot deep throughout the area and a thawing is not in the forecast for a long time. Hunting pressure is way down because of the deep snow, but fishing, skiing and snowmobiling are as popular as ever. Pike fishing has been the hottest item. A 12 pounder was taken on Pine Lake this week. Gun Lake reports Crappie are landing “real good" and some bigger Blue Gilis are being taken. Snow conditions are excellent for skiers and they are having a banner year. Snowmobiles are doing great loo, but the deep snow drifts have buried a few. Turkey applications are now available at most 'icense agents. Applicants must deposit with the license dealer 17.25 for resident. SI for senior resident. A non-resident must apply directly to Lansing. Complete the card according to instructions provided in the guide and mail to Lansing on or before March 1. You may apply individually only. Successful applicants will receive their license by mail. Unsuccessful applicants will be mailed a refund check. For more in­ formation call the Plainwell Office of the DNR at 685-6851. With environmental laws and programs of the last 15 years under the harsh scrutiny of a new Administration, the “quality of life" in the United States, as measured by seven environmental indicators, declined in 1981 for the second year in a row, according to the National Wildlife Federation’s J3th annual Environmental Quality Index (EQI) study. Of the seven natural resources measured, four-water, living space, soil and wildlife-all suffered losses over the past year, while three others-forests, air and minerals-held their own. For the second consecutive year, none of the indicators showed any im­ provement In fact, the NWF said, the last time an improvement registered on the EQI was during 1979, when air quality began to show the effects of 1970’s Clean Air Act - a law that is up for Congressional renewal this year. Air quality is still the only indicator that is higher today than it was in 1970, when the first EQI survey was published. Published in the NWF’s bimonthly magazine. National Wildlife, each February, the EQI is a combination of objective measurements and subjective, informed judgements of environmental trends. Estimates are made by NWF staff in con­ junction with government experts, private specialists and academic researchers. TUES. NIGHT MIXED Carrousel Realty, 61-27; Buehler Realty, 51-37; Britten Bros.

Tree planting - A viable conservation practice Tree planting or reforestation is a viable conservation practice which helps preserve soil and soil moisture, beautify the land­ scape. provide habitat for certain types of wildlife, and provide a tree crop for future timber and fuelwood use. Areas which can be planted include open fields, understocked woodlands, erosive sites, and places where enhancement of natural beauty is desired Trees selected for planting should be suited to the soil-type and climate. On sandy, infertile soils in Barry County, red pine should be plan ted at a rale of 600 to 1200 tress per acres. Sandy loam soils can be planted with pine or spruce al 600 to 900 trees per acre. On the heavier loam soils, hardwoods such as black walnut or tulip poplar should be planted at 440 trees per acre. Before planting, grasses and other weeds which will compete with new planted trees should be controlled. If vegetation is light, no site preparation is necessary. If there is a moderate to heavy amount of cover, it may be necessary to cultivate the area, kill vegetation with herbicides, or plant the trees in a furrow. Trees can be planted by hand or machine. In any event, their roots should be kept moist and protected from the sun and wind. Do not fold or crowd roots when planting. If necessary, trim roots hack. The best planting lime is when the trees are dormant and the soil's moist but not saturated. Do not plant in freezing weather or when the ground is frozen In Barry County, treeplantingshould be completed by early May. Once trees are planted the area should be protected from fire, grazing and vehicle traffic. Competing vegetation should be controlled for the first several years if possible. In lower density plantings, dead, dying or missing trees should be replaced the following planting season. Trees for reforestation, windbreaks and wildlife are offered annually by the Barry Soil and Water Conservation District and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources at nominal cost. In some instances, the Agricultural Slablization and Conservation Service provides cost-share assistance on the purchase and planting of trees. For additional information on tree plan­ ting. contact the Soil Conservation Service or the Barry Soil and Water Conservation District. Both are located in the USDA Service Center. 535 W Woodlawn.

Johnston Rand Bowman from the Southcentral Michigan Planning Council who is serving as an advisor for economic development. Banner Photo While small towns and rural areas are now attractive to industry, Hastings is ten years behind in organizing for economicdevelopment, a group of Hastings business people was told, Tuesday. Rand Bowman, program coordinator for the Southcentral Michigan Planning Council, made those remarks as he presented the plans of the new economic development group formed by the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce with the city and county governments Serving on the committee from the county government are Kenneth Radant, chairman of the Board of Commissioners, and James Gordon, commissioner. David Jasperse has been appointed as the representative of the Hastings City Council. Michael Trahan, immediate past president of the chamber, has been named chairman. Other chamber representatives are Jerry Bradley, industrial division vice-president, and Joan H. Foster, executive director. Bowman is serving as an advisor along with Richard Shaw, Hastings city attorney. An outline of the committee’s objectives were presented at a noon meeting at the Hastings Elks Temple which was part of a Hastings monthly series of open meetings sponsored by the chamber. “The potential and timing for Hastings and Barry County are great," Bowman said. "The time is right." He added that he is convinced there are existing industries that would like to expand in the area. During his remarks. Bowman noted that attracting industry and working with existing industry was a big issue in the recent mayoral election in Hastings and this was one of the reasons he was attracted to working in this area. Opening the session, Bradley said that after several industries contacted the chamber, last year, the chamber discovered it was "very unprepared" to answer questions about the area. "As a result,” Bradley continued, "we felt a real need for a group or committee to answer those questions." Bowman said the steering committee which was eventually formed has set three goals: to retain and develop existing business, attract new businesses, and maintain and increase the job base. Bowman explained that the group will develop host teams to meet with prospective industries interested in Hastings and Barry Hastings, Michigan by Liz Kingsbury state support for all education, law en­ forcement, health, local revenue sharing and other services have been cut.” Clark stressed that the drive is not designed to reduce the benefits to the truly needy. “Welfare was neVer meant to be a way of life but to help in time of trouble,” she ex­ plained. “In Michigan, the middle class is being taxed to death to pay for welfare." Last year Gast introduced a bill into the Senate seeking to impose a limit on ADC and Genera] Assistance to not more than the average of the maximum of the five adjacent states. The bill is still in the Senate Ap­ propriations Committee. "Il was utter frustration that motivated the petition drive,” Clark said. Praising the efforts of David Stockman and the Reagan Administration in its new Federalism, Clark said "I don't trust Lansing as much as I do Washington." “The Michigan State Legislators behave very irresponsibly,” she added. 300,000 signatures are needed by May 26 to put the proposal on the ballot in November. In a note of optimism, Clark changed "if’ to “when” when talking about making the quota of signatures. Clark said that the Michigan Township Association, Michigan Association of Counties and the State Board of Realtors, the Congress of State PTA’s and the Community College Presidents group are supporters of the SOS drive. "Education is really zonked because of Thursday, February 1S. 1982 Nancy Clark co-chairman o» Sava Our Stata. a petition driva for itete welfare reform, »peok» at the Barry County Republican Women's luncheon, held Tuesday afternoon at the Moose Lodge. to the right of Clark are Kathryn Ferris, president of the Barry County Republican Women s Club and Audrey Burdick. Barry County Drain Commissioner. (Banner photo) what we spend on welfare,” Clark said, noting the hearty support of education groups. “We have 137 signatures in Barry County so far,” Clark said as she gave pointers on circulating petitions. Wendall Strickland, Barry County Republican chairman, is also chairman of the Barry County SOS drive, she announced. "Who’s going to pay for all of this education, law enforcement and local government?" she asked in closing. "Will you help us?" Welfare fraud an ongoing problem The inspector general s agent at the Barry County Department of Social Services reports that he receives approximately seven referrals erf suspected welfare fraud per month. Gordon Trick, assistant chief of the Hastings Police Department, said that welfare fraud is an ongoing activity. Tom Dinsmore, agent of the state in­ spector general, said that welfare fraud takes three forms. The first form of fraud is unreported in­ come. A second form of fraud is when a welfare recipient falsely claims to have a child. The third form of welfare fraud is when a recipient falsely claims to have no spouse. About five of the seven estimated monthly referrals of welfare fraud have to do with unreporied income, Dinsmore said. "The amount of (unreported) money varies from a couple hundred dollars to several thousand,” Dinsmore said. "We have cases pending in court (in which the dollar amounts) are in the thousands.” The penalty for welfare fraud can be either 90 days in jail and a maximum fine of $100, if convicted of a misdemeanor; or two years in jail and a maximum fine of $2,000, if convicted of a felony. The severity of the crime depends on the dollar amount of unreported income, Din­ smore said. Trick said that it is a felony to have received least $500 in unreported money, but the cases are usually plea bargained down to a misdemeanor. In cases of welfare fraud of under $500, it is up to the prosecutor to decide whether it is a misdemeanor, a felony or not worthy of prosecution at all. Depending on what charge is brought against the recipient, he can be convicted of a misdemeanor, a felony or have a certain amount deducted from his welfare check. Barbara Lawrence, also an agent for the inspector general, said, another crime, receiving money under false pretenses, is considered a felony even if the minimum amount of unreported money is $100. In cases of welfare fraud, if the amount is under $100, the prosecutor may decide not to prosecute, in order to save the county money­ in court costs, Lawrence said. In this case, the recipient would pay the amount back from his grant in installments of no more than 10 percent a month. Normally, the Department of Social Services handles welfare fraud cases. "We get an awful lot of people who don’t report their monthly checks and then report them as stolen," Trick said. "Then we find that the checks have been cashed in Lansing. 1 hat's when we get involved. Then it’s criminal.” Dinsmore said that most welfare fraud cases are very proveable. "The prosecutor’s office has been very rpceptive to the cases we present to them," Dinsmore said. “The county has been very and experience required along with the motivation and accomplishments. Bowman told tlie story of Plymouth. Ind., which in 1955 had a population of 5,200 people. When the city tried to attract a Michigan business, the people learned they weren't organized for the project. Plymouth formed a steering committee combining private, public and civic interests then worked as a group to sell shares in the project at $50 each. Bowman explained. Today, he continued, Plymouth limits its growth to only two companies per year and says that unemployment has virtually been eliminated. Welborn’s plans told by campaign manager Price 20c Michigan’s high welfare benefits attract out of state recipients, welfare reformer says Michigan's high welfare benefits attract welfare recipients from other states., ac­ cording to the co-chairman of a drive to reduce welfare costs. Michigan has the third highest welfare benefits in the nation, said Berrien County Commisioner Nancy Clark of Ben.on Harbor in a speech at the Republican Women’s luncheon, Tuesday. Clark, co-chairman of Save Our State (SOS) cited 1980 statistics from the Berrien County Social Services Board showing that 1,696 new recipients on welfare moved into the county from other states. "We use Berrien County as an example because nobody else keeps track.” she said. Clark is cochairman of SOS with Stale Senator Harry Gast Jr. (R.-St. Joseph). The aim of SOS is to limit the amount of welfare benefits from ADC and General Assistance to the average maximum ADC payment rates of five surrounding states. The Five states are Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota According to charts shown at the luncheon, held al the Moose Lodge, Michigan paid an average of $391.80 monthly per family. Clark compared the figure to the payment made in the five surrounding states: 91 percent higher than Indiana ($205.08), 56 percent higher than Ohio ($251.53), 41 percent higher than Illinois ($2^7.46), 12 percent higher than Minnesota ($351.00) and one percent higher than Wisconsin ($327.28). Clark pointed out figures from the Michigan Department of Social Services showing that M'chigan had 238,063 ADC costs in October of 1981. The total cost to the state was $93,535,209.09. The average amount granted per family was $392.90. Clark said that a Michigan ADC mother has it much better than someone who works for minimum wage. Pointing to items on a chart, she listed the benefits Michigan ADC mother are entitled to. "An ADC monthly basic grant is $319.80," Clark said. “If she owns her home and the costs are.higher, we pay the costs. She is entitled to at least $100 a month in food stamps and $137 in medicaid," Clark said. ADC children ai e entitled to free lunches and CETA youth jobs, ADC mothers are entitled to CETA job training, and ADC families are entitled to free legal aid, transportation and funds for emergency needs. "Emergency needs can be liberally in­ terpreted," Clark said. “It could be paying all of her back taxes. An ADC mother may also receive a new stove, refrigerator and washing machine once a year, if needed. Some get these appliances, move into housing projects where (they» sell them to get the money." ••How can you start ADC mothers in the world of work when they make more than minimum wage by doing nothing?" Clark asked. Michigan spends $170 per capita on education versus $257 per capita on social services. SOS literature said. "Out of every dollar the state spends 35 cents or. welfare while spending 31 cents and 13 cents on education and health respec­ tively." Clark said. "Because oi Michigan's budget crunch. will do for an outside industry wanting to come here." Bowman outlined a number of typical situations found in communities, including no organization for economic development, organizations operated solely by govern­ ment. organizations without consensus in goals, organizations with no ac­ complishments. organizations which promote or protect interests of some segments of the community and organizations with the capacity to im­ plement projects. The last group, he said, has the necessary support, the civic, public and private sector involvement, the necessary skills, expertise Banner Devoted to the Interests of Barry County Since 1856 Vol. 127, No. 7 County. These teams will have the in­ formation to answer questions raised about the community. "This is not a governmental effort," Bowman said. “This is a combined civic and private effort." He said the development group plans to survey industrial buildings and sites available in the area and find out what kinds of industry are interested in Barry County. He added that the committee will also find out what kinds of businesses county people would like to have. The new group will also compile vital statistics on the community, such as the tax rates, school information, hospital in­ formation, acreage available, etc. Related to this will be the development of community brochures to promote the area’s assets. To be successful, Bowman pointed out, it is necessary for the community to overcome conflicts between people and different groups involved in the projects and to involve all people and groups interested and affected by industrial development. "It’s very essential to have a concensus on goals," he said. "It’s the commit.ee's con­ census that we must take care of existing industry. The committee is willing to do everything tor existing industry that they Richard Posthumus of Caledonia, cam­ paign manager for State Sen. Jack Welborn who is running for governor. by Robert J. Johnston The Hastings Kiwanis Club expected to hear r- candidate for governor, Wednesday, but nonetheless ended up learning how State Sen. Jack Welborn hopes to gel elected. Welborn had been slated to speak at the club's regular weekly luncheon at the Em­ manuel Church Parish House, but unex­ pectedly was tied up on the Senate floor fighting for an ammendment to freeze property assessments at 1981 levels. Richard Posthumus, Welborn’s campaign manager who spoke to the club on the can­ didate's behalf, exlained that Welborn had not been able to get his ammendment onto the Senate floor since he introduced it two weeks ago. Wednesday morning, however, a coalition of Republicans and conservative Democrats overruled the presiding officer of the Senate and moved the issue onto the floor. Welborn was unable to leave the Senate as worked for the votes to pass the am­ mendment, Posthumus said. State Sen. Jack Welborn may have missed the Hastings Kiwanis Club meeting. Wed­ nesday, but his efforts in the State Capitol paid off. An ammendment sponsored by Welborn to freeze property tax assessments at 1981 levels passed the Senate by 23 votes. Welborn missed the meeting in Hastings because he was rounding up votes for his proposal. The measure now will move to the State House. “Tv.o years ago," Posthumus said, "I didn't think that Welborn had a chance at all (to be elected governor). But people have changed quite a bit and a pro-business, conservative candidate does have a chance. ’’ Posthumus, who was bom at Pennock Hospital and now lives in the Caledonia area, told the club members that politics can no longer be left to the professionals "You have to become involved," he said. Posthumus said that in Welborn's case, as an “underdog", he needs to form a grassroots oganization. “If you area front-runner," he explained, "the main thing is to stay there. If you’re an underdog, you have to be innovative. One of our main goals is to organize in every little town and every city.” The campaign manager said he never thought that money was important in getting elected, but now‘believes that r aising money is a fact of life in running for office. He said that the state will match money raised by candidates for governor, giving $2 for every $1 raised, up to a limit of $100 per contributor. The maximum any candidate may spend is $1 million on the primary­ election and $1 million on the general elec­ tion. “That sounds like a lot. but without it." he said, "there is no way you can get elected.” Emphasizing the importance of mass media, Posthumus said that even if Welborn could shake one hand a minute, 24 hours a day, every day until the August primary, he would still be unable to shake the 400,000 hands he will need to win. Posthumus blamed much of the state's economic trouble on the failure of state leaders to diversify the economy. "You can say its going to get better and things are going to change,” he continued, "but unless you people get involved and have common sense in government, it's not going to change." He said that many people in the govern­ ment have been left alone in Lansing so long that they feel secure in their positions. “There is no one following their voting records," he said. "I quit after three years with the legislature because 1 became frustrated.” Posthumus served for three years as a Republican staff member for the state House. He is a former executive director of the Sugar Beet Association, the first executive director of the Michigan Beef Commission and the first chairman of the Michigan Youth Republican Party. He charged that many politicians send out letters saying what they believe, but then do another thing when voting. Supporting this, he pointed to several legislators who walked out of the session rather than vote on the issue of state money for Medicaid abortions, two weeks ago. “You have to become involved," he con­ tinued. “Right now it's going to be important for the public good, if not for your own sur­ vival. Become involved in the political workings of your government.” He asked the Kiwanians to think twice the next time a candidate, whether Welborn or someone else, asks for their investment of time and money in a campaign. The former lobbyist said that one of the problems in Lansing is that most of the contacts with the legislators come from lobbyists. He said that while lobbyists per­ form an educational function, they are not part of the “real world”. "It’s so important for people like you to provide input," he siad.- cooperative in assisting us. ’ The Department of Social Services has been taking preventative measures, in the past four years, to deter welfare fraud, he added. The social workers are reviewing the cases much more carefully than before, Dinsmore said.

Slate, liked Charlton Park, but felt that taxes were already high enough. "It seems like it ought to be supported by , the customers that come in,” said Dallas Nance, a self-employed television repairman from Middle Lake. "If you get too much on the county, then you have problems. I hate to see taxes go up." "I would say (it should be supported) by both — if they can’t get money from the people, then the county should support it," said George Rusine, 4195 Barber Rd., who is retired "Since Charlton Park was donated by Mr. Charlton, we’ve taken it up for him,” Neil Wilson, of Lake Odessa, yard manager for Barry County Lumber, said. If times are good, he said, the county should fund the park. "But if finds are low,” Wilson continued. “ Maybe we should try other sources." “I'm a great believer in the (idea that), the government shouldn't support everything," said Hugo Anderson, 127 Bush, Delton, who is retired. "I think they should have some other means — taxes are high enough now.” Jill Harwood, a Hastings housewife said, “I think there should be other ways of raising funds. It makes seise. "I think °nce people have to work for somthing they appreciate it more. They’ll use it more.” Charles Brumm, 133 Seminary, Ver­ montville. said, "I still think the county should pay some of it.

He shook hands with 8,513 people on New Years Day 1907. Our Birds: The extreme weather of the past few weeks and the depth of the snow that covers the weed seeds and makes for a scarcity of bugs and worms that provided food for the birds has given us not only a larger number than usual but also a larger variety. I'm sure that there are times during the day when, if they would remain still long enough I could count at least 50 birds eating at our feeders at the same time. Mrs. Sisson makes at least two trips and often three trips a day to replenish the three feeders, and we enjoy our birds. There were two, sometimes three, mourning doves that joined the other birds, but they have left us and apparenfiy gone elsewhere to feed. Last Friday af­ ternoon, my wife saw a bird, larger than most of our visitors, perched on one of the lower branches of an apple tree north of the house and quite a distance from the feeders. As she watched its actions and then saw it fly away she decided that it was a hawk and went over to investigate. She found the ground under the place she had seen the bird, covered with the feathers ot a female Car­ dinal. One of our choicest bird friends had died a horrible death. It is things like this that takes the joy out of bird feeding! But what can you do about it? Oh, yes, we had a new bird at our house one day last week - a white throated sparrow, the first one we have ever seen. These birds migrate and it’s hard to know jus: wny this one was here at this particular time. We were happy to see the little guest with the three white stripes on its head and a white patch on its chin eating at our feeding shelf on the walnut tree. It was a one-time visit so far but we hope it will return and bring o hers with iL Mr. and Mrs. Stephen DeGroote and daughter, Shawn, and Mr. and Mrs. Jeff Morton and Kristina enjoyed a Valentine supper Saturday evening at the Red Lobster in Grand Rapids.

"We’ve been there a couple of times now " "I'd hate to see them lose Charlton Park,” she added. “Western Michigan needs somthing like this, without having to go to Greenfield Village. “I don’t think they can do it with festivals.

Feb. 13, in a head on collision with another auto on M-66 in Montcalm County near Stanton. The driver of the other car was a young man, student at Ferris College in Big Rapids, who according to police reports was driving under the influence of liquor. His injuries were treated at the hospital and he was released and jailed. Baumy, as he was best known by his friends, was well known in this area. He had worked for 28 years at the Bulling Appliance Store, and its successor, Paul’s, and Rolfe Bulling, a native of Woodland had sold a great many appliances in the territory. Most of the items sold by Bulling's were delivered by and installed by Mr. Baum and he had also serviced many of them and had been in many homes in thir area in this work. He is survived by one sister, Mrs. Donald (Beatrice) Windel of Kent City. Double funeral services were held on Tuesday, Feb. 16, at the Leonard, OsgooJ and Wren Funeral Home, with Rev. J. G. Boomer, pastor of the Trinity Gospel Church of Nashville officiating. Burial was in Riverside Cemetery in Hastings. Mrs. Baum had been employed at the Barry County Medical Care Facility for the past 20 years and was supervisor of the laundry. Mr. and Mrs. Laurence Strickland of Plainwell were Sunday afternoon guests at To The Editor: Many of us are aware of and a bit uneasy about the increase in crime, especially among teen-agers. Some of the reasons for the increase seem to be unstable homelife, single parent families, crimes seen on TV, roaming the streets with nothing to do, etc. What can we do to bring about less crime? Wise men have known for centuries, and sociologists, psychologists and others, know today, that what a child learns in his very early years, from the time he learns to talk, until he starts school, about honesty, loyalty, friendship, and obedience, will follow him all the rest of his life; and if he fails to learn these attributes, or at least part of them, he may become a social misfit, an emotionally unstable person, or ewn a criminal. How can we be reasonably sure that very young children will grow up and become good citizens? One positive and far reaching solution is this: teach girls in the eight or ninth grades (and boys in the tenth or eleventh grades) about the social, emotional, physical, and mental growth of young children School administrators and teachers may say, “How can we ever find time for such classes in our busy schedules?” The answer is that some the material in today’s textbooks has little value for students after they leave school. For example, while I was a teacher and counselor, before retiring. I asked, or heard other teachers ask, such questions as these which were found in our textbooks: "Why were the iron foundries in England built close to tije coal mines?" "Describe a sheep station in’Australia." And quite recently I saw these questions in a school textbook: “In what year was Mac Tse Tung born? and, "When did he die?” Can it be that teaching girls such things as these is more important ’han teaching the best we can find about being a good mother? Is there any better way, as time goes by, to lessen the horror of child abuse than to teach high school boys and girls what a fiendish and cowardly deed beating a young child is?

Local corporation employees and senior citizens enjoying aerobic dancing classes Aerobics in Motion is finding a place in the lives of many Hastings area persons. Two unique aerobic dancing programs, led by Hastings YMCA instructors, are proving tc be popular in addition to regular classes of the fun, Witness sessions which have already taken hold. The two newer endeavors involve company-paid sessions for employees at Hastings Mutual Insurance Co. and a program for senior citizens that is partially financed by a local church group. Based on the philosophy that a "healthy employee is a happy employee," Hastings Mutual Insurance has offered an Aerobics in Motion programs for both male and female employees The sessions are the first organized activity the company has spon­ sored in its new exercise room and the response has been teriffic. Twenty-eight persons are enrolled in the beginning and advanced classes and there is a waiting list of 60 employees. After work, instead of heading home, those enrolled in the program head for the exercise room where the aerobic ciass promotes cardiovascular fitness and endurance; improves muscular tone; and provides fun. Participants exercise to music while in­ corporating a few basic dance steps with jogging and arm movements in choreographed routines led by YMCA trained instructors. Aerobics is part of the employee benefit program as is the company's exercise room which is available to employees before work begins, at noon, and evenings. Dave Storms YMCA-Youth Council director, said other companies and businesses who are interested in sponsoring Aerobics in Motion classes for their em­ ployees are welcome to contact him for details. At Hidden Valley, when YMCA areobics instructor, Debbie Storm asked her class if there was anyone new, one student replied, "We’re kind of old, but we’re new’” Storm was speaking to her new class ot senior citizens who are enrolled in an aerobics program called “Pure Gold.” One of the original motives for "Pure Gold” was the health benefits of offering the program to seniors.

It appears that the nine ladies at the Aerobics in Motion class are having fun, too. Pure Gold is a toned-down version of the official Aerobics in Motion class, Storm said. Pure Gold includes warmups and medium level dance, but no high level dance, she explained. The class, which meets at 10 a.m., every Tuesday and Thursday at Hidden ValleyEstates, lasts for 45 minutes instead of 60. The first two weeks of the class are being offered free, but on March 1, the official 10week class will begin.

For a person between the ages of 61 and 65, the heartbeat level should be between 15 and 22 beats per 10 seconds. Initially, residents were hesitant to sign up because they felt that they would be on display, said Marlene White, manager of Hidden Valley. Placing a curtain over the door reduced residents' inhibitions and seven women attended the first session. During that time, White recalls, two men asked if they could see behind the curtain. White told them if they wanted to see in, they would have to join the class. The men didn’t join. The attendance climbed from seven to nine women, Tuesday morning. Those attending were Ann Bortak, Gladys Dean, Claudene Faunce, Matilda Dolson, Mabel Boylen, Margaret Rentschler, Bea Ellis, Mae Schultz and Hazel Dolittle.

He is responsible for all new construction, operations and maintenance in the city. “I enjoy every facet of it." he said, when asked what he liked best about his job. Klovanich started his first job with the City of Hastings as assistant director of public services and City Engineer in 1963. As assistant director he also ran the road crews in the Streets Department. Klovanich took over as director of public services when Ken Labertaux retired, in 1969.

BOARD OF REVIEW • NOTICE • NOTICE of MEETING Johnstown Township The Board of Review of the City of Hastings will meet in the City Hall on TUESDAY and WED* NESDAY, MARCH 2 A 3,1982, between the hours of 9 a.m. and 12 noon and I p.m. and 4 p.m. for the purpose of considering and correcting the tax roll. The Board of Review shall remain in session for as many days as necessary to con­ sider the correcting of the roll. The following is a temporary list of factors to be applied to the 1981 assessed values from the County Equalization Department: ' As superintendent of streets, Tobias has different responsibilities depending on the season. During the spring and summer, the streets crew work on tree?, maintain the parks and the airport, work on construction and road repair. During the summer, the street department also runs the street sweeper and works on water mains. If need arises, the crews work on trees, sewer and road mainlenence during the winter, too. Dui ing the winter, the main job is blading and hauling snow, but a full-time mechanic works thoughout the year. The streets department works closely with the other sub departments, in the Depart­ ment of Public Services, the waterworks and the wastewater treatment plant. Street crews also work closely with the fire department and it maintains the cruisers for the city police department. “I have to laugh," Tobias said. "Whenever I get a new man in here, he always says he never knew there was so much to this job. They’re surprized." Tobias likes to have four to six part-time workers during the summer, but he hasn’t been able to recently due to lack of funds. Tobias said that one of his goals is to make the people in the city happy. “The biggest thing you can look forward to is to improve your operations,” Tobias said. “So you can do better jobs with less money and less manpower.” Tobias has lived in Hasting all of his life and is a 1955 graduate of Hastings High School. He has been working with the city for 20 years and has been superintendent for 14. Before coming to work for the city as an equipment operator, Tobias served in the U.S. Army. In 1960, while in the Army Reserve, he was called back into the service. Tobias spent 10 months at the proving grounds, in Maryland, when the Berlin Wall was being built. Tobias and his wife, Shirley, live on 1013 W. Green St. Tobias has two sons and two stepdaughters. He likes to bowl and work on cars. He plans to build a replica of a 1952 MG. Tobias and his crew have made a park out of a former fish hatchery. "In 1975, we bought a fish hatchery from the state," Tobias recalls. They built a ball park and they stock' three ponds with bluegill, bass and pike for the youth fishing program.

MATT NEIL, a former Hastings High basketball star, continues to shine on the hardcourt for the nationally ranked Hope College team. The senior forward is among the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association leaders in several categories. In 18 games he has scored 217 points, a 12.1 point per game average, and has hauled down 122 rebounds, tops on the team. His 18 rebound per­ formance in one game earlier this season, ranks as the best rebounding performance in Lakewood 69 Maple Valley 67 The Maple Valley Lions must be getting used to being the bridesmaid, and never the bride. The Lions lost another see-saw battle this time to Barry County rival Lakewood 69-67 Tuesday. “I’m afraid to count how many we have lost right at tne end this year," Lion coach Jerry Reese said of his 8-8 Lion’s hard luck. Lakewood took advantage of 21 of 34 free throws lo nip the Lions, who themselves netted 13 of 19. Free throws by Vikings Tom Eckstrom, Paul Durkee and Jeff Duits iced the game down the stretch. The Lions held a four point lead with three minutes remaining, but that lead disap­ peared and the Vikings tied it up with free throws. Eckstrom put the cap on the game hitting a pair of charity shots at the seven second mark. The Vikings hit 55 percent of their field goals compared to a Lion mark of 44 percent, offering plenty of scoring excitement for the large crowd. The Vikes also held a slight edge in rebounding, grabbing 30 to the Lion's 26. Duits and Eckstrom provided much of the Viking scoring with 24 and 22 points respectively. Guard Eric Wolff led the Lions with 19 points. Randy Hazel added 12 points and six rebounds to the Viking cause, while Walt Maurer and Mickey Mahon each pitched in 14 points to aid the Lions. Duits led the Vikes in rebounding too with seven, while Maurer led the Lions with 9. Three Lions fouled out as testimony «o the large amount of free throws the Vikings attempted. Maurer, Randy Joostbems and Tom Brooke all went to the bench during the game with five personals. The Lions move to 8-8 with the non-league loss, and remain 7-3 in the TCAA. The Vikings move to 9-6 overall with their- first non-league win of the season, and remain 8-2 in the Tri-River, two games ahead cf the rest of the league. On Friday the Lions entertain Portland for winter homecoming activities. The Vikings travel to Coopersville. The host Pennfield Panthers used a stingy zone to drop Hie seventh grade Saxons in the championship tilt 41-36, Saturday. Eight teams competed in the tournament and Saxons Mike Karpinski and Dan Willison were named to the all-tournament seventh grade team. The eighth grade Saxons grabbed third place with a 49-14 drubbing of the host Panthers in the consolation bracket, Saturday. Saxon Andy Jenkins was selected to the eighth grade all-tournament team. The cheerleaders that grabbed the runnerup honors were, Bonnie Sullivan, Lisa French, Nancy Peterson, Kristin Lyons, Becky Main, Vai Dakin, Sandy Cleveland, Nicole Ross and Jackie Barry.

All the Trojans played and all 12 scored in the romp. Guard Jim Schipper led the way tossing in 18 points, handing out five assists and gathering five steals. The Trojans jumped to an early lead behind their zone-trap press and never looked back. At halftime the Trojans were up 39-23 and Hopkins was out of the game. The Trojans outshot and outrebounded Hopkins. A 40 percent to 33 percent field goal advantage matched up well with a 48-26 edge on the boards as evidence of the Trojan domination. In addition to Schipper, sharpshooter Gordie Smith came off the bench to score in double figures with 11. Forwards Brian Miller and Bill Schwartz led the Trojans with eight and seven rebounds respectively. Guard Steve Scott turned in a steady per­ formance with seven points, seven assists and four steals. The Trojans moved to 15-1, 9-1 in the OKBlue with the victory.

Meanwhile Jackson was moving out on the fastbreak collecting layups to the tune of 18 points the first quarter and 20 the second. “They shot well, but we didn’t play any kind of defense in the first half,” O Mara said. "We were probably as cold in the first half, as we were hot in the second half at Harper Friday.” The Saxons shot 63 percent in the second half Friday rolling past Harper. The loss drops the Saxons to 6-11 overall, 510 in the Twin Valley. On Friday they visit Marshall, their fifth road game in-a-row, and finaUy return home a week from Friday to play the Mounties again.

For more information contact Meet Manager Bill Karpinski, the athletic director at Hastings High School. The Hastings Saxons started playing in the second half, but by then it was too late. The Jackson Northwest Mounties rolled to a 38-16 halftime lead building a mountain the Saxons couldn’t scale enroute to a 58-47 Twin Valley vin Tuesday. “Noone went on the floor ready to play the first half," Saxon mentor Denny O'Mara said of his squad. "That is one of the cardinal sins of basketball. You always should be ready to­ play when you step on the court." Stepping was easier for the Saxons in the second half as they closed within seven points midway through the fourth quarter. But that was as far as they got, running out of gas and dropping to 5-10 in the league. "We played good basketball in the second half, but when you spot a team 22 points, you have your work cut our for you,” O'Mara commented. Part of the Saxon problem was the lack of scoring from their leading scorer forward Steve Del Cotto. The senior forward that went into the game leading Barry County in scoring at a 17.9 clip, scored one point behind a zero for eight performance from the field, and a one of two mark from the free throw line. "He just couldn’t hit," O’Mara said. “He missed a few and then I think he started pressing. He took good shots, be just had a bad night” Del Cotto wasn't the only Saxon that nad a bad night especially in the first half. The Saxons committed 12 of their 19 tur­ novers in the first pair of quarters and were outrebounded 21-13 over that same stretch. Three starters, Del Cotto, Bruce Hartman and Steve Morgan, combined to hit only five of 27 shots in the game, helping to fashion the 32 percent Saxon field goal mark. The two Saxons that shot normally were the two that finished the game in double figures. Senior guard John Karpinski hit six of 11 shots and a pair of free throws for 14 points, and freshman reserve guard Mark Brown hit three of five field goals and all six of his free throws for 12 points. The Saxons grabbed the same number of rebounds in the secand~half as the Mounties, and outscored them 31-20, but it wasn’t enough tu overcome the 22 point halftime lead.

They started singing in late January. No one is sure why they start so early, but Department of Natural Resources biologist John Lerg has a few ideas. They are singing to warn other Cardinals that this is the area they are defending as a nesting place come spring, Lerg suggests. The males, the only ones who sing, also hope thier song will attract a female Cardinal as spring ushers in. Their singing perch is usually high in a now leafless tree. Although they are the first to sing about nesting time, the Homed Lark and the Great Horned Owl build nests earlier. A COLD. BLEAK DAY IN DECEMBER is one that will be remembered with great joy by Dewey Smoke, an aging Winnebago In­ dian confined to a nursing home in Tomah, Wisconsin, thanks to the efforts of a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) special agent. Since 1971, Smoke had been deeply sad­ dened by the loss of a war bundle which was in his charge. The war bundle contained religious artifacts central to Winnebago religious feasts and celebrations. Smoke s bundle contained eagle feathers, prayer rugs, flutes, carved wooden artifacts, rat­ tles, and other items of religious significance to him and his people. It was a minimum of eight to ten generations old, and had been _____ AGRICULTURAL LIMESTONE: Limestone and marl delivered and spread. Phone Darrell Hamilton, Nashville, 852-9691.

Outdoor Report; passed on to Smoke when his father died in 1959. Being the oldest and most religious of his clan. Smoke was responsible for the bundle when, in 1971, he placed it in a remote cabin. Shortly thereafter it disappeared. NOT UNTIL DECEMBER 1981 did word of the lost bundle surface. Information from Smoke’s relatives, other Indians and non-Indians as to the whereabouts of the lost bundle was passed along to Richard Dickinson, a FWS special agent in Madison, Wisconsin. Using this information, Dickinson was able to locale the bundle and recover it on the grounds that it was illegally possessed because it contained eagle feathers. (The eagle is a threatened species in Wisconsin.) All the time the treasure was being located and recovered, Smoke was kept uninformed. Because of his age and fragile condition — he is 75, has acute diabetes, and both legs have been amputated — it was considered unwise to cause him to build up hope until the bundle was definitely secured. With two elders of the Winnebago tribe, Dickinson took the bundle to the Tomah Rest Home. In keeping with Winnebago religious beliefs, the bundle was not taken inside. Dickinson and the two elders went in and the elders explained to Smoke the details of why they and a federal law enforcement agent were there. Then Smoke was dressed, bundled into a wheelchair and taken outside to identify and resume custody of his treasured religious possession. THE BUNDLE HAD BEEN RECOVERED virtually intact, and as Smoke identified each item, his face revealed deep feelings of nostalgia, relief and joy, according to Dickinson "It’s probably difficult for anybody but a Winnebago Indian to know just howsignificant the recovery of the war bundle was to Dewey Smoke.” Dickinson noted. "But seeing the took on his face as he iden­ tified the items, one by one. that had been lost for more than ten years, made this probably the most rewarding day of my career.” HASTINGS — Dr. James P.

Johnston Larry Ainslie, 30, of 801 W. Bond St., Hastings was appointed as assistant city attorney by the Hastings City Council, Monday. At the request of City Attorney Richard Shaw, Ainslie was named to the newlycreated position with no compensation. Shaw told the council that Ainslie has been doing work for the city in the area of taxes and reapportionment. He said that Ainslie was more qualified than he was in the tax appeal process. Ainslie worked in the tax section of General Motors for three years before joining the local law firm of Siegel, Hudson, Gee, Shaw and Fisher in 1980. He holds a master’s degree in business administration, specializing in accounting. "When he goes before the State Tax Tribunal he should go there as an assistant city attorney, rather than as a private at­ torney," Shaw said. Shaw added that the city attorney has authority under the charter to appoint at­ torneys to work for the city as needed, but he felt the appointment as assistant city at­ torney would avoid any peisonal liability problems for Ainslie. Larry Ainslie Commission approves new extension director Janie* K. Hartough, n*w director of tb* Barry County Cooperative Extention Service. Photo by Community Ad-Vi»or (Bonner Affiliate). The Barry County Board of Com­ missioners, Tuesday, approved Janice K. Hartough as the new director of the Barry County Cooperative Extension Service. Hartough currently is extension home economist in Calhoun, Jackson, Branch and Hillsdale counties. The appointment is subject to the approval of the Michigan State University Board of Trustees. Hartough (pronounced Har-toe), replaces Doris Richardson, who has taken a position at MSU. Richardson was named as acting director through April 1, when Hartough will take her post. Hartough will also serve as the county home economist. Hartough was named an outstanding young woman of America in 1981, was given the MSU equal opportunity award in 1979, and received the distinguished service award for 1976 from the Michigan Association of Home Economists. The new director has served in her present position for nine and one-half years. She was a home service advisor (home economist) for Columbia Gas of Ohio from 1969 to 1971, then served as an expanded nutrition teacher at Kellogg Community College in Battle Creek for one year. She received a bachelor of science degree from the University of Illinois in 1969 and has completed two years of study in public af­ fairs at MSU. In addition to membership in several home economics associations, she is a past president of the Michigan Council of Ex­ tension Agents, a member of the American Association of University Women, the Junior League of Battle Creek and the Extension honorary organization. Epsilon Sigma Phi. She also has served as a state board .nember for the Michigan Child Study Association and was a member of the Consumer Home Economics Advisory Commission. She received state recognition from the American Heart Association for her con­ tribution to the Calhoun County Nutrition Committee in the development of "Eat Right — Live Longer". Three Barry students killed in crash near Plainwell Three Barry County students were killed in a high speed auto crash Tuesday evening, and Allegan County police are investigating whether the car was passing another vehicle or drag racing. The three men killed, all students at the Stale Technical Institute and Rehabilitation Center at Pine Lake, were identified by deput>es as Michael L. Sherlock, 23, of Jenison. Jess W. Ramaker, 27, of Sparta, and Francis Pangborn, 19, of Jackson. The three were machine shop students at the facility near Delton. Deputies said the car was registered to Sherlock, and they believe he was the driver when the car ran off the road on Riverview Drive southeast of Plainwell and broadsided a large tree. Deputies said that drag racing is a possibility, but they don't want to rule out that Sherlock may have been passing another vehicle. A witness told Police a second vehicle was involved, but did not return to the scene. Ramaker and Sherlock were pronounced dead at the scene by an Allegan County medical examiner, and Pangborn was dead on arrival at Pipp Community Hospital in Plainwell. The car was headed north on Riverview Drive at and estimated speed of 80 miles per hour or more, deputies said. The accident occured just north of Baseline Road in Gun Plain Township. Apparently the driver missed a curve and the car left the pavement and struck the tree without going into a skid, deputies said. The vehicle was demolished in the crash. The bodies of the three men were taken to the Marshall-Gren Funeral Home in Plainwell. "1 don't think 1 need your approval." Shaw told the council, "but I wo*’ld like to have it.” The city attorney also said the ap­ pointment would make someone else available to issue warrants when he is out of town. A1978 graduate of Wayne State University. Ainslie completed undergraduate work at Michigan Stale University in 1973 then earned a master's degree in 1975. He is a 1969 graduate of Union High School in Grand Rapids. Ainslie is married to the former Ann Ironside of Hastings, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Ironside, Jr. The council also voted to take bids for wrecker service for city vehicles. The move may rescind an action taken two weeks ago to rotate service between the two local wrecker companies, Gary's Wrecker Service and Hastings Wrecker Service. The council took the action after a legal opinion by Shaw said rotating the business might avoid any impression of impropriety in favoring one firm. The vote to take bids came after Coun- cilwoman Mary Lou Gray, Third Ward, made a motion to order department heads to use the cheaper of the two wreckers when service was required No one seconded Gray's motion. In making her motion. Gray said that she was not aware of the "substantial dif­ ference" in the cost between the two firms when the council approved rotating use of the wrecker companies. Mayor Kenneth Howe pointed out that it may be difficult to establish which company may perform services for the least amount because of varying circumstances in calls. Gray contended, however, that rotating the business might set a bad precedent for city purchasing, which normally is handled through bidding by competitive companies. "For equal services.” Gray said, "we should buy from the one that charges the least.” After discussion among council members about how to handle the situation, Gray moved to take bids from the firms to set a price for all calls. That motion was seconded by Gordon Fuhr. Third Ward, and passed The Hastings unanimously. Gray also reported that if the proposed Reagan budget is approved the Federal government plans to close the Grand Rapids weather bureau, which she said would be reduction of service to this area and would increase the response time in severe weather. “The Grand Rapids bureau covers 11 counties and the Muskegon bureau covers 15 counties, now," she said. "Muskegon would be responsible for 11 more (if Grand Rapids closest." She said the closings would leave only Muskegon, Ann Arbor and Lafayette, Ind. bureaus available to cover the entire state at night, because the Lansing, Flint and South Bend bureaus are also slated to be closed. "My main concern," she continued, "is that it would result in less public service and greater response time." She said that closing the Grand Rapids bureau would result in a savings of only $5,000, plus one person's salary. She urged people to contact their congressmen about the problem.

Nashville girl safe after kidnap attempt Michelle Lynn Gardham. 17, of Nashville was arraigned Monday in 56th District Court in Hastings on charges of kidnapping and breaking and entering stemming from an incident in which she allegedly kidnapped a six-year-old Nashville girl. The incident occured early Sunday Mor­ ning and was thwarted in the driveway of the victim's home at 6300 M-66 by Stephen Knight, the father of the youngster. Although upset by the incident, the child, Lorinda Knight, was not otherwise harmed. The suspec* was apprehended after the vehicle in which she was driving was in­ volved in a head-on crash in Battle Creek. Detective Ken DeMott said the sheriffs department received a call about the in­ cident at 2:50 a.m. February 21. The child's father had been awakened earlier by noises and in investigating discovered his six-yearold daughter in his car with the suspect who was armed with a knife. The suspect had allegedly broke into the house and taken the child out to the car. As Knight approached the car, a discussion took place and the suspect returned his daughter to him, DeMott said. Knight then attempted to persuade the suspect to stay on the property until police arrived. However, the suspect reportedly refused and fled south on M-66 in Knight's car. Knight pursued her in another vehicle until he stopped at the Pennfield Police station where officers there continued pursuing the suspect. The chase ended when the suspect was involved in a head-on crash with a vehicle driven by Charles Powell near Capital Ave., and Maple Grove in Battle Creek. The suspect was treated for lacerations at Leila Hospital in Battle Creek and released to Barry County deputies. Powell, 35, and his wife, Frances, 31, of 625 Woodside in Battle Creek were treated at Community Hospital in that city. » A March 1 preliminary examination in district court is set for Gardham, who had been residing at a Nashville foster home, 214 E. State St. Judge Gary Holman has set bond at $5,000 and she is currently lodged in the Barry County Jail. DeMott said a motive has not been determined in the alleged kidnapping and that the victim and her family have said they do not know the suspect.

The committee, made up of school board members, Hastings Education Association members and concerned citzens agreed upon the "Our Kids Count Committee" as their new name. The committee was appointed by the Hastings Board of Education to work for the April 26 millage election. The new name was needed to set up a bank account for the funds and for purposes of promotion, Dr. Lynn McConnell, chairman, said. The committee will also be setting up coffee klatches, at various people's homes, to take place a week before the election. "They'll be informal information sessions,” McConnell said. "There will be a resource person at the coffee klatches to answer questions." The group's telephone committee plans to solicit about 100 volunteers to work telephone campaigns. One of the many goals cf the telephone campaigns is to identify “yes” voters, to determine issue awareness and to get out the vote, the chairman explained. McConnell said that the committee is finalizing factual information to be made available to the public in the near future. The committee is not yet sure how it will be distributing the information, he said, but the areas to be covered include what the millage is paying for. a breakdown of the millage and an explanation of the circuit breaker on state income taxes, which refunds a percentage of the local property tax payment. McConnell said that the committee is trying to anticipate what the questions are and trying to present answers to them. Also in the planning stages are a series of open meetings for people who have questions that have not been answered elsewhere. Tne meetings are to take place a week before the election, probably on a Wed­ nesday and a Thursday at 10 a.m., 2 p.m. and B p.m., at the Junior High School.

AWOL man arrested on charge of criminal sexual conduct by Liz Kingsbury Clarence Johncock, who is retired, said,"Yes - on that one. I think we’ve got too many of them coming in here.” "Yes. I think they should have the same General Assistance," said Dianne Ferris, a substitute teacher from Hastings. “If we get recipients from other states, then something’s wrong." Gail Connor, a laid off assembly line worker from Hastings, said, “I think that Michigan should have the same G.A. as any other state. I think all states should be based the same. ” Kathy Smith, a Hastings dairy maid, said. By Liz Kingsbury Most of the people interviewed, Tuesday, were of the opinion that welfare benefits in Michigan should be the same as other states. “1 think it would be a good idea." said Craig Heald, a stationary engineer from Freeport. “I think, to a lot of people, welfare comes too easy." "Maybe they should install a work program like they had in the Depression," he added. Charlton Park up for change “There are enough people on (welfare). There are plenty of jobs if they just get out and look for them." “It depends on the cost of living in com­ parison tc other states,” said Sally Johnson, wl j works at Pennock Hospital. “Because I m sure it makes a difference. I’m sure that we have a higher cost of living and higher property taxes." Jean Slocum, a Hastings distributor for Mary Kay Cosmetics, said, “Yes. I think they should." Jerry Nye, a Hastings dishwasher gave another brief answer,“All I can say is ’yes’.’’ < Park may become campground A public hearing concerning the rezoning of one section of Charlton Park will be held on Monday, March 22 at 7:30 p.m. in the Barry County Courthouse. The Parks and Recreation Commission has asked that the zoning classification be changed from R-2 (Residential) to AR (AgriculturalResidential). Under the AR specifications, a special use permit can be issued to allow the development of a campground. This project-is the recommendation of a special committee consisting of Albert Bell. Bob Russell and Del Heath. It is part of an overall effort to create additional sources of income for the park so tha< it can eventually become more self-supporting Funds for Phase One of the campground development would come from the park's Building Fund, not the county’s general revenue. The Building Fund is based, largely, on monies from the estate of the late Irving Charlton, the park’s founder. The contemplated area would accomodate 100 campsites and would be in the northeast corner of the 300 acres owned by the county, just south-of River Road. Access would be from the present entrance to the Park, off Charlton Park Road. Plans include a well, septic system, a building for toilet and shower facilities, and a dump station for recreational vehicles. Work would begin as soon as necessary zoning changes are made and construction plans approved by the necessary state and local authorities.

Palmer said the meeting covered a number of ideas, reviewed the number of runs and income of the service and the amount of subsidy needed for operating. He said the company would need a larger ser­ vice area to break even^ He said that because of governmental financial problems, there may be some subsidy reductions, which would require higher ambulance fees. On Wednesday evening. Palmer held a second meeting to which he invited representatives of Baltimore. Yankee Springs and Irving townships. Baltimore is currently served by the Bedford Rescue Squad, and the other two townships are served by th«; Middleville Ambulance Ser­ vice, a volunteer organization.

Deputies Donald Nevins and Frank Misak arrived first on the scene, followed shortly by Sgt. Gerald Smith and Deputy George Howell. Smith, Nevins and Misak entered the home and after a discussion with Laughrey took him to the Sheriffs Department. Smith attempted for several hours to verify that Laughrey was AWOL. but was unable to do so while he was in custody.

West Woodland News by Victor Sisson Thought for the week — Persons who tell you never to let little things bother you have never tried sleeping with a mosquito in the room. Last Wednesday evening.

Brent Donaldson had as an overnight guest Friday Joe Coates of Woodland. Saturday morning Barry Donaldson took Brent, Joe, the latter's sister, Jamie, and Tracy Hawkins rollerskating at Ionia.

Rev. Kennard Schaibly of Edmore, uncle of the above group was the speaker of the evening. Mrs. Betty Smith of near Woodbury called us Monday morning to pass on some "bird news". When she drove into Lake Odessa to call on a friend last Thursday she saw Lyle Hawk standing beside the road looking up into a tree. When she got out of her car he called to her and wanted her to see a bird. There in the top of the tree was another hawk, this one of the feathered variety and it apparently was feasting on another bird 'and the feathers were flying in all directions. Mrs. Smith did not recognize the bird except that it was a hawk. But she got a good look at the bird and when she got back home she looked it up in her bird book and is quite certain it was a young goshawk. There are about 260 different kinds of birds in the family to which the hawk belongs, birds of prey. The goshawk has a body length of about 26 inches and is rare Mrs. Smith said they often see hawks on the farm and have quite a lot of trouble with them in the past because of their catching the baby chickens and little ducklings. One day a big hawk zoomed down to attack the dog but evidently changed its mind and went on its way. Mrs. Smith also mentioned the snow birds which are seen here this time of year and said that a flock of them flew up from along the edge of the road ahead of her as she was driving and she thought there must have been at least 200 in this “herd of birds". As she talked with us she said she thought she heard red-winged blackbirds singing outside. Later she called bacK and had gone out to check and said there were eight of the pretty harbingers of spring singing al the top of their voices in the top of one of the trees in the yard. May I reminisce a little in my letter this week? 1 am sure that many uf our older readers will be interested in this. In my mail last Thursday I had a letter from Mrs. Freeman Furrow of Hastings. I have known Mrs. Furrow for many years; she and her family were residents of Freeport many years ago when I was a young man there but 1 very seldom hear from her so the letter aroused my curiosity. The envelope con­ tained a clipping which I al once recognized as coming from the front page of a Freeport News, probably last week's. The clipping read, "Mattie Everhart passes in Florida. Mattie Everhart, 99, died last Tuesday in a West Palm Beach hospital. She was the widow of the late Floyd Everhart and will be remembered by many of the older residents in the Freeport area as they operated a general store in Freeport many, many years ago. Mrs. Everhart was a member of the Palm Beach Charter 0.E7.S., Music and Drama Study Club, Church Circle and Spanish American War Veteran's Auxiliary. Surviving are three nephews, six nieces and a sister in Orlando, Fla. Services were held last Thursday in West Palm Beach with burial in the Hillcrest Cemetery also in West Palm Beach”. Yes, the Everhart Store, one of three general stores in the village at that time, was located in the west half of the brick building that still stands on the north side of Main Street. I think-lhe building is now used for an auction plac°.'The store handled a very complete line of groceries, fruits and vegetables, farm produce, dry goods, clothing, with a millinary on the second floor. They also had a grocery wagon on the road five days a week covering five different routes. I worked in the Everhart Store sixtytwo years ago and would say that Floyd ana Matie were two of the finest people I liave ever known and it was a real joy to work for and with them. At the lime I worked there it was a very busy store. Both the Everharts worked full time and besides me, others working there were her sister Sue Hotaling, her niece Marion Kenyon, Hazel Smelker, Mae Kanker and Frank Dietz. As far as I know, Susie, Marion and I are the only ones of the group still living. I do not know about Mr. Dietz. Floyd died in November 1979. Mattie was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. A. Curtiss and her father and brother, Louis, owned and operated theC.A. Curtiss & Son Saw Mill located on the north side of Main Street just east of the railroad. They had a large yard there that was always full of logs purchased from farmers of the area and they always had a shed full of lumber of all kinds, shapes and sizes. Two finished products which they specialized in were baseball bats and wooden sleds with iron runners. The two Curtiss girls, together with Maude Sisson and Lula Hunt formed a quartet which became very popular and sang at many programs and events in the com­ munity. Mr. and Mrs. Everett Johnston, with Miss Helen Reesor. attended the special service at the Woodland United Methodist Church Sunday evening. A group made up of in­ dividuals from several churches in the Mason area put on a program of music and singing. Mrs. Nola (Rairigh) Payne, daughter of Vivian and Marjorie Rairigh of Mt. Hope Highway, is the painist for the group. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Jewell of Charlotte, Mr. and Mrs. James Potter and family, and Shannon, Christi and Bryan, children of Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Potter of Woodland, were Saturday evening supper guests of Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Potter. The latter three were overnight guests of their grandparents. Mrs. Roger Buxton attended the Woodland Child Study Club last Thursday, the club, which Mrs. Buxton described as “few in number but strong in spirit”, met at the home of Mrs. Roger Daniels on West Broadway. Following the regular meeting. Mrs. Daniels, who is a native of Australia, showed pictures of her native land which proved to be extremely interesting to all of her guests. Friday, Mrs. Dean Miller and daughter. Amanda, of Andrus Road called on Mrs. Buxton and Ann. Saturday Mrs. Buxton attended a party at the home of her sister. Mrs. Bruce Marsteller of Barnum Road. This was somewhat of a "futures" party as the group discussed and planned activities for the coming spring and summer months. continued on page 5 �The Hastings Banner, Thursday, Feb.uary 25.1982- Page 3 County, city and village receive increased payment from state transportation department Five area cities, villages and Barry County recently received a higher share of monies from the Michigan Department ot Tran­ sportation, the last quarter of 1981, than a year before.

Almost a century has passed since Silvio Dolza heard a Sicilian clergy­ man assail the steam eng ae as the “devil’s invention” History, of course, has proven the clergyman wrong. But lime hasn’t erased the sermon from John Dolza's memory, for his father - Silvio stressed it as an example of the dangers of ignorance and superstition. “God made fire the enemy of wa­ ter," the clergyman warded. “Great fires will make water disappear. He made water the enemy of fire; indeed much water will kill a fire. The men that try to marry fire and water in engines are sacrilegious and are working against God." “To us it sounds ridiculous, but the opposition to modem things of most of the Sicilian leaders proved to be a very, very serious handicap for many years." John Dolza says. The lesson accompanied Dolza and his engineering skills when he immigrated to the United States as a young man. He worked for General Motors for many years, then began Dolza International Engineering. Credited with more than 120 inven­ tions. he lives in Fenton. Through his 80 years Dolza has seen countless technological changes. But although the machines change nuclear power is on the energy fore­ front that steam power held a century ago - Dolza sees a disheartening similarity between his father's time and today’s fight against nuclear power. “The opposition to nuclear power is very, very harmful." he says. "With the price of imported energy, keeping these nuclear plants from being com­ pleted is just plain criminal." He points out that Italy paid a high price for a similar mistake long ago. when 10- and 15-year-old children were forced to work in underground sulfur mine*. “These youngsters died of tuber­ culosis caused by malnutrition, no ventilation in the tunnels and sulfur dioxide.” he says. Meanwhile. Ameri­ can ingenuity found a way to inject steam into the ground, melt the sulfur and make it float through near­ by wells to aboveground collectors. This technique, besides discarding the dangerous child labor, was more economical. Fifth and sixth graders from St. Rose School entertained with song after the meal. Hastings Women’s Club says “Happy Birthday” to seniors group Members of the Hastings Women's Club served-up a tasty and entertaining "Happy Birthday” party Monday for the Barry County Senior Citizens group in honor of its 22nd birthday as an organization. The women's club, organized in 1893, was instumenlal in establishing the seniors group 22 years ago nd it has become a tradition for them to host an annual party in honor of the founding of the organization. Members of the Hastings Women's Club provided cordages for the senior women and also brought mary delicious dishes, ice Girl Scout cookie selling dates released Girl Scout cookieswill be sold fram Feb.19 to March 6. and delivery will be from April 10 to 23. Cookies come in seven varieties, including thin mints, assorted cream, peanut butter patty, peanut butter sandwich, oatmeal, short bread and a new variety — caramel delite. The cookies cost $1.50 a box. To order, call Lin Hough at 945-9718. For details call Charlene Swank, publicity chairnu n, at 948-8171. cream, and cake for the potluck dinner. Following the meal, fifth and sixth grade students from St. Rose School, under the direction of Principal Steve Youngs, en­ tertained with a number of up-lifting songs. The women's group also sponsored a bingo game for the afternoon and furnished a tableloaded with interesting prizes. Mary Lamb served as chairman of the party. She was assisted by Wilma Strickland, co-chairman, and a committee of other women’s club members. Mrs. Karl Taylor admires some of the bingo prizes, furnished by the Hastings Women's Club. . Your search for the perfect checking account is over. Wolpe representative to be in area March 9 In Italy however, prejudice against steam power blocked the new tech­ nology. The opposition killed Italy’s sulfur industry. “When I see on television mostly young people opposing nuclear power plants. I realize with great sadness that ignorance is just as serious today as a century ago.” he says. “Imported oil is making us poorer and poorer, and the money spent abroad comes back to buy off our land and its resources. Oil for power stations will be even more prohibitive in the future than now. "I’ve never seen anything so safe or so respectful of its surroundings as nuclear energy. I think the devel­ opers have to be congratulated for a step forward." Dolza says. "If we are to follow the antinuclear power plant logic, then we would all go hack to nature and live in caves. ’’Nuclear power does not put smoke into the atmosphere. It does not put sulfur dioxide into the atmos­ phere. It does not put dust into the atmosphere. We need nuclear energy. “It would show the future finan­ cial disaster if this nation permits itself to lose its muscles by accepting the intimidations of ignorance.” This advertisement. which is paid for by the shareholders of Consumers Power Company, is based on a letter from Mr. Dolza toJt >hn D. Selby. < hair­ man nJ Consumers Power Company. Congressman Howard Wolpe announced that a representative of his staff will be holding office hours in the area on Tuesday. March 9.

Rick Gillete of Smith Brothers Elevates welcomes a guest speaker Laura Heuser, a founding member of Women for the Survival of Agriculture in Michigan tn Lake OdeSS°- Going out for lunch is always a treat, and Smith Brothers Elevators went all out Tuesday and hosted about 230 area farm wives at a special luncheon in recognition of their roles in agriculture. This was the second annual event spon­ sored by Smith Brothers in an effort by the firm to give farm wives overdue recognition they deserve, said Lon Smith, company president. Laura Heuser, a founding member of "Women for the Survival of Agriculture in Michigan” and American Agri-women, was the featured speaker at the "Salute to Farm Wives" luncheon held at the communnity center in Lake Odessa. "Get involved." Mrs. Heuser told the women in the audience. "You canno* ignore the problems in agriculture — don't wait for your husband to take care of it...the guy has enough to do. Mrs. Heuser and her husband are fruit growers and have a nursery in VanBuren County. She has gained acclaim nationally for her work in speaking out about the sur­ vival of family farms and agriculture. She was selected as the outstanding spokesman for agriculture by the Chevron Chemical Co and was chosen as an out­ standing alumus of Michigan State University. Mrs. Heuser is currently a member of the Governor's Committee on Agriculture which she says succeeded in its attempts for passage of legislation incorporated in the right-to-farm bill. She told the audience, “Don't get too comfortable in your own small town., worry a little ..worry about what the politicians are doing now. (Banner photo) She said one of the biggest threats to agriculture is the continually mounting s’ cks of regulations aimed at farmers. “We have to defend private enterprise" against over regulation by the government. “We have to tell our story. We have to be vocal...you don’t have to get up and speak before crowds like I do . be vocal on a one-toone basis every chance you get...that rea’’y works best.” Mrs. Heuser said. Agriculture is the number one growth industry in the state, she said. Because of the stale's otherwise depressed economy, she said Governor William Milliken is interested in agriculture right now. Mrs. Heiser said the Governor is interested in pursuing the possibility of securing a pork processing plant in Michigan which could “bring in more jobs than a Vulkswagon plant would." Right now. she said, pork is being sent out of state for processing and then brought back in again — a situation she called ridiculous. A hard cheese plant and a bean processing plant for Michigan are other agriculturalrelated industries the slate is checking into, she said.

Four Hastings men do think about that water, though, because it is their job to guarantee it is clean before it leaves the city. Last month, alone, the Hastings Wastewater Treatment Plant processed an average of 741,000 gallons of wastewater a day, Bill Ransom, superintendent, said The secondary sewage treatment plant, built in 1972. runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week It is attended 164 hours, each day during the week, and four hours on Saturday and Sunday. The lab. however, is kept running seven days a week. Ransom said Solid waste, once treated, has been given to farmers since 1973. • Before taking a job as an operator for the old primary sewage treatment plant, in 1965. Ransom was a branch manager for Lockshore Farms and a volunteer fireman. Ransom graduated from Hastings High School in 1937 and served with the 8th Air Force, in the first Air Division during World War II, stationed in England. Ram som became superintendent of the present plant when it opened in 1972. The old primary plant employed two men, but the new plant employs four — the superintendent, a lab technician, a shift operator and a mechanic. “I’m in charge of the wastewater treat­ ment plant.” Ransom said. “But I also fill in when the other operators are off.” The Wastewater Treatment Plant is one of the three departments under the Department of Public Services. The plant is also responsible to the Departmen’ of Natural Resources. ' All my reports go to them," Ransom said of the DNR In fact, the plant has a National Pollutant Discharge and Elimination System permit from the DNR. Ransom also gives a copy of his reports to Mike Klovanich, director of the Department of Public Services. "Our goals here are to do a good job in treating waste that comes in from the city of Hastings." Ransom said, "and running the plant economically." Ransom and his wife, Ann. live at 817 Madison St. Ransom's hobby is bowling. "I hope, when I retire, I can get to fishing again," he said, “and I'd like to tour a little bit". Three other men work with Ransom in the olant. "Everybody's interchangable," Ransom added. Darrell Carr, whose main responsibility is he lab, will hopefully move up and take over when Ransom retires Oct. 1, Ransom said. Carr started at the plant in 1973. "Like the rest ofus," Ransom said of Carr. "The university experience is the college of hard knocks." The two other men are transfers from the city garage. Ransom said. George Hokanson vr., is the shift operator in charge of handling the sludge. Before coming to the Wastewater Treat­ ment Plant, in 1975, he worked on the city street maintenence crew since 1971. Gary Hartman, whose son works for the Streets Department, is the mechanic. Hartman started working with the city as a mechanic for the Streets Department in 1968 and took his present job in July 1,1972. Lob technician Dorrell Carr is shown taking the dissolved oxygen out of the water that goes into the river. DOUBLEWIlTimBrn FUN! False alarms often unite waterworks and Hastings Fire Department by Liz Kingsbury The Hastings Waterworks crew often sees a lot of the Hastings Fire Department because many fire alarms are triggered when the fire hydrants get flushed out. Any place with automatic fire protection, fire alarm systems are triggered by high or low pressure in the waterworks, superin­ tendent Bernard Tobias explained. Asked what can be done about the alarms. Tobias said,"The fire department checks it out and resets it. It’s just one of those things that happens." The waterworks has to test the water seven days a week for flouride and chlorine levels. The water must be one part flouride per million gallons of water and two and a half parts chlorine per million gallons. Two operators work at the plant reading meters, installing, repairing and replacing new water services. They also thaw frozen water pipes, which is a dangerous procedure. Tobias said. When thawing the pipes, the operators put in a DC current. If the house is grounded AC, it can start a fire because AC and DC fight, he said. Operators also dig out fire hydrants that have been covered up by snow. Tobias also performs the duties of the operators. “We work as a family," Tobias said. Tobias said that his main duty is seeing that everything rims O.K. “Everybody that works here has to be - THE STAR GOULD DOUBLE TOUR INSTANTLY...UP TO S10.000! When a water main is broken, the streets department does the digging and the waterworks repairs the main. Tobias is the brother of Jim Tobias, superintendent of the Streets Department.

The cubs gathered past cubmasters for their annual Blue and Gold Banquet and were treated to entertainment by a Ver­ montville magician. The banquet was held at the First Church of God, 1330 N. Broadway. Nyle Wells, and his assistant, Pam Erwin, entertained scouts, parents, and cubmasters with a wide variety of tricks. One of the highlights of Wells' act was when he had his assistant step into a box the size of a phone booth and sliced though the box with a huge knife resembling a meat cleaver. This drew "oohs and ahs" and squeals from the audience. Six past cubmaslers an‘d their wives at­ tended the banquet. Attending were Keith Yerty, the first cubmaster, who served from 1957 to 1958, Donald Doolittle, cubmaster from 1959 to 1960; Preston Campbell, 19651968; Sharon Fountain, 1975-1976; and Richard Meade, 1977-1979.

Four Barry County people graduate from Ferris State College Nyle Wells, of Vermontville, entertains Cub Scout Pack 3077 with a magic show at the Blue and Gold banquet. The pack celebrated its 25th anniversary. Tuesday night, at the First Church of God. 1330 N. Broadway. Four Barry County people were among nearly 420 people to graduate from Ferris State College, fall quarter. Graduates from Hastings include Kevin J. Hughes, 3140 Heath Rd., a bachelor of science in business administration; David B. VanderVeen, 736 W. Madison, a bachelor of science, with distinction, in production management; and James F. Vreugde, 1509 S. Church St., an associate in applied science degree, with distinction, in auto service and in heavy equipment service. Rhonda J. Dickinson, 8691 Carlton RdWoodland received an associate in applied science degree, with distinction, in court and conference reporting. To graduate with distinction, a student must maintain a 3.25 to 3.49 grade point average on a 4.0 equals A scale. Today, Director of Selective Service Thomas K. Turnage announced that young men who were required to have registered with the Selective Service System before January 8,1982, but who failed to do so, will be granted a grace period in which to register that will extend through February 28, 1982. During that time, these men may register without fear of prosecution for late registration. This announcement implements President Reagan’s statement of January 7. in which the President endorsed the continuation of registration and provided for a grace period for those who had previously failed to register. The President made his decision based on the findings of the Military Man­ power Task Force that peacetime registration will save theUnited States about six weeks time in mobilizing its manpower in an emergency. President Reagan also reaffirmed his commitment to meeting peacetime military manpower needs without a draft. After February 28, and after identifying the names of those persons who registered during the grace period. Selective Service will carry out a program of full compliance with the registration law. The Department of Justice, in coordination with the Selective Service System, will initiate appropriate enforcement action. This will include action against persons whose names were referred by Selective Service to the Department of Justice for possible criminal prosecution prior to January 8, in the event those persons fail to register during the grace period. All young men bom since January 1, 1960 who have attained age 18 are required to register at any U.S. Post Office. Men born in 1964 are now registering as they reach their eighteenth birthday — 30 days before or after it. Director Turnage said: "With the removal of any lingering doubts as to the future of the registration program. I am confident that the young men of registration age will comply with the law. They are a responsible group — 6.6 million of them have already registered. I’m sure that those who haven’t will act as responsibly as their peers and register during the grace period." Registration is a simple process. A man fills out a form at any U.S. Post Office which asks for his name, address, telephone number, social security number and date of birth. He must bring some form of personal identification with him — such as a driver’s license or birth certificate. Q'sandA's As of September 30th. 6.6 million men have registered and approximately 800,000 have not. How can vou possibly prosecute such large numbers? We won’t have to. The vast majority of these young men will register when they become aware of the requirement. Com­ pliance with registration has never been a problem; even during the height of the Vietnam conflict, registration compliance never went below 38 percent of the eligible population. When will you have the results of the grace period registration? It will take some time before the registration forms can be completely processed. The forms are shipped from the post offices to our data management center on a schedule of once a month or twice a month, depending on the size of the post office. When the forms reach the data management center they have to be processed to enter the information into the computer. This, of course, will be given top priority, but it will be several weeks after the grace period ends before we can make an accurate determination of how many people registered during the grace period. Since the pooffices do not give receipts when people register, how is a man going to prove he registered during the grace period? What if his form is lost? The forms are date-stamped by the postal clerk when they are turned in, so there is a record of the date the form was filled out. • NOTICE • Barry Township Taxpayers Board of Review will meet Tuesday, March 2 and Mcnday, March 8,1982, 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 and 1:00 to 4:30 p.m. and Tuesday, March 9,1982, 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 and 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. at Barry Township Office in Delton.

WOOER Barry Township Supervisor There are safeguards and double-checks built into the process of shipping the com­ pleted forms from the post office to the data management center to ensure that forms are not lost in transit. However, if a man does not receive verification of his registration within three months, he should contact Selective Service. Who is required to register? Men bom in 1960 and later years. This includes U.S. citizens, and aliens residing in the United States. Members of the active armed forces do not have to register, but members of the Reserves or the National Guard are required to register. Men bom in 1960,1961,1962 and 1963 should have already registered. Men bom in 1964 should register within 30 days of their 18th birthday. How do you register?

Middleville man reports firearms missing A Middleville man reported, Monday, that about 37 firearms, worth approximately $5,000, were missing from his brother’s house, Barr; County Sheriff Department reports said. Terry Rosenberg. 11989 Jackson Rd., Middleville, had stored the firearms at the home of his brother, Monroe, of 1777 Briggs Rd., Middleville, since March of 1980. The exact time and date that they were taken is unknown. Rosenberg told deputies that lhe guns were to be kept at his brother's house as a result of a divorce decree. The report said that the brother's house is usually never locked. Deputies said that Monroe had not reported forced entry into his residence. Local law enforcement agencies also report lhe following incidents: — Dave Goodyear of Goodyear Brothers Implements, 1690 Bed.ord Rd., reported the larceny of a snowmobile to Barry County Sheriff’s 'Deputies Wednesday. The snowmobile worth approximately $2,000, was taken from the front of lhe dealership, where it was on display. The case is open pending additional evidence and suspects. — Frank Moser, of Delton, reported the larceny of two antique fenders, worth ap­ proximately $300, to the Hastings team of the Michigan State Police, Feb. 18. The fenders of a 1947 Dodge truck, were reported to have been taken within the last two months from a garage on Maple Grove Road. The case remains under investigation. Members of the Barry County Board of Public Works arc hoping that the "secondtime-around" will prove more fruitful than its first attempt last week to secure bidders for its portion of the Gul! take Sewer project The local BPW was ready to open bids for the project February 17 but discovered that there weren’t any potential buyers. Another attempt will be made for another bond sale at 4 p.m. Tuesday. March 2 in the county commissioners room in the cour­ thouse annex in Hastings. The proposed sewer project, which in­ cludes $5.4 million financing from stale and federal grants, would serve a small portion of residents in Barry and Prairieville townships. The majority of potential users reside in two townships in Kalamazoo County. The lack of response for Barry's $550,000 bond issue also put a hitch into the entire $10.4 million Gull Lake sewer project BarryDrain Commissioner Audrey Burdick, who serves as Secretary-Director of the BPW. said the Michigan Municipal Finance Commission has stipulated that one county Cold weather brings many chimney fires Hastings Fire Chief Roger Caris reports 17 chimney fires since October of 1981. The cause of chimney fires is a buildup of cresote, the juices that come out of the wood when it is burning, Caris said. "Cresote builds ur (inside) of chimneys and burns itself off. ’ Caris said, describing the cause of a chimney fire. The best way to avoid chimney fires is to keep the chimneys cleaned out, he said. In his rural quarterly report for rural Hastings, which covers October through December of 1981, Caris reported a total of 25 incidents, four aids to other departments, two aids from othe departments and one false alarm. Of the incidents, seven occurred in dwellings. Those incidents include one house filled with smoke when the stack came apart, one under investigation, two chimney bur­ nouts, one carbon monoxide in house, and two radiant heat from wood burners causing combustibles around them on fire. One garage fire occurred, caused by a discarded cigarette; one fire occurred in a com dryer, the cause if unknown and one house trailer fire occurred due to a malfunctioning wood burner, causing injury to the owner. Five fires occurred in vehicles, in rural Hastings, this quarter, the causes include a catalytic converter, one wiring, one arc welding close to a gas leak, one cigarette thrown out the window and one un- Just moved in?

One fire occurred in a business, caused by a malfunctioning oil furnace. The Hastings Fire Department stood by in case of fire after an accident involving two propane tankers and a car. Two grass fires occurred. One caused by a burning barrel and one by an open fire unattended. Total estimated value of property lost for lhe quarter in rural Hastings is $103,050, according to Caris. Caris reported 22 incidents in the city of Hastings for the quarter of October. Norember and December of 1981. Two fires occurred in dwellings, one was a chimney burnout and one was a fire on a kitchen range. One fire occurred in a sited and the cause was not determined. Three fires occurred in manufacturing plants, one was in a filler oven, the other occurred when the bottom burnt out on an electric induction furnace and the third was a false alarm. One vehicle fire occurred, caused by wiring. Therewere three calls at Pennock Hospital and the causes included an alarm malfunc­ tion, grease on a grill and one false alarm. Three fires occurred in businesses; one was of undetermined causes, one was caused by exposure to a previous fire and one started in a trash container. Seven leaf fires occurred in lhe city, all caused by pranksters. Firemen made one extraction from a vehicle and were on standby after a tree fell cannot sell bonds unless both have buyers. Consequently, when Kalamzoo County received four bids for its approximately $4.5 million bond issue, its bid opening also had to be canceled because of Barry’s plight. Mrs. Burdick said the bid opening process will be reversed next Tuesday and "Kalamazoo's will be offered earlier in the hopes that the same bidder on that portion will also bid on Barry's so that bidder can have the whole project." She said it is not unusual for no bids to be received in a bond sale. "It's been happening al! around the state. "Interest paid on bonds is limited (by stale law) to 13 percent, which is low. People are getting more interest on other types of in­ vestments," she said. Also in Barry’s case, she speculated that perhaps no interest was generated in lhe bidding because its bond issue was relatively small ($550,000) in edmparison to Kalamazoo. Advertisements seeking bidders for Barry's portion of the sewer project had been advertised in the Banner and a national bond buyers publication. Barry's financial rating also is lower than Kalamazoo's which is rated "A." Barry County Treasurer Elsie Furrow said a bond reting is obtained for each issue. Barry received a “Bbb" rating which Mrs. Furrow says is "saleable, but not at­ tractive.” Personally, she said she was "shocked" with the rating and discussed the matter with financial advisors. She concludes that just being located in Michigan seems to be a negative factor when seeking bidders. Other possible reasons for the lower rating include general poor economic conditions and the fact that Barry is primarily an agricultural county, she said. Barry's lax collection is lower than it has been in lhe past. Currently, Mrs. Furrow said lhe tax collection rate has been about 84 percent. In lhe past it averaged about 86 percent and investment rating firms prefer to have it up in lhe 90 percentile bracket. Sometimes it helps if a rating service visits a county so lhal they can gel a better per­ spective of it, she said. Library has books on dieting and nutrition “The proper way to diet is to try it,” someone once said. Some of the books at lhe Hastings Public Library can help one to diet properly. • Craig Claiborne, in his popular bujk, “Craig Claiborne's Gourmet Diet,” tells howone can enjoy the pleasures of good food while losing weight and maintaining good health. French chef Pierre Franey and Mr. Claiborne have included 200 specially created, low-sodium, modified fat, modified cholesterol recipes. This book was a thoughtful gift presented to the library in memory of Mrs. Gordon J (Lois) VanderWeele by the Hastings Women s Club. With the same awareness of the female's special dieting problems that made "The Women Doctor s Diet for Women ” a national best seller, America’s foremost woman diet authority, Dr. Barbara Edelstein, outlines the basic principles of weight reduction and nutrition for teenage girls in "The Woman Doctor’s Diet for Teen­ age Girls." Dr. Edelstein explains exactly what causes overweight in this sensitive growth period, and why teenage girls have a much harder time losing weight than teenage boys. In a clear, direct style she answers the questions teenage girls are likely to ask about this subject. Chickweed, cranberries, dandelion, grapes, groundnuts, hazelnuts, hickory nuts, and Jerusalem artichokes are among the wild foods of interest to the beginner, casual collector, or real addict for whom Ellen Elliott Weatherbee and James G. Bruce have written "Edible Wild Plants of lhe Great Lakes Region.” Description and photographs of many wild plants are followed by drawings of plant parts, a glossary, and index. The food types include greens, tubers, teas and flavoring, and fruits, nuts and grains. "Wide-ranging, thorough, and sensible unsurpassed as a guide for individual ac­ tion" is Kirkus Reviews' assessment of "Jane Brody’s Nutrition Book - a Lifetime Guide to Good Eating for Better Health and Weight Control by the Personal Health columnist of The New York Times. “An intelligent guide to copying with all lhe major problems of the modern American diet - complete to menus and recipes.” Each age group is considered, with suggestions to help, for example, the one-third or more elderly in the US malnourished because of socio-economic problems, loneliness, depression, and physical disabilities. Some other fairly recent books on the subject of diet in lhe library’s collections are: "Dr. Frank's No-Aging Diet”,‘Eat & Grow Younger” by Benjamin S. Frank with P. Miele; "The Pritikin Program for Diet & Exercise" by the founder of the Longevity Center; “The West Point Fitness and Diet Book”, the world’s best conditioning program for men and women, by Colonel James L.

Far North Girl Scouts enjoy annual ‘taster’s tea’ Over 12 area girl scout and brownie troops and their families participated in the annual taster's tea in the Hastings High School cafeteria, last Wednesday nighL "Usually taster's teas feature bite sized samples (of international foods)," said Lin Hough, girl scout chairman for the Far North Neighborhood. "But this year, it’s turned into a potluck supper.” Foods from 90 different countries were prepared by the various troops and served buffet style to scouts and their families. The annual taster’s teas are held to celebrate Thinking Day, an national event which honors the founders of the Girl Scouts. After the tea, all of the girl scouts and brownies gathered 90 flags from the centerpieces on the tables. These Dags represent the 90 countries that have active Birl guide chapters. One by one, the girls walked by lhe head table and presented their Hags to Hough. while announcing lhe countries that the flags represented. on a powerline During the fire al the Sports Bar, there were nine other departments working with the Hastings Fire Department, Caris an­ nounced. Those departments were Middleville, Nashville. Freeport, Woodland, Delton, Hickory Corners, Orangeville, Johnstown and the D.N.R. Estimated value of property lost in the city, during the quarter, is $256,450. The Hastings Fire Department reported a total of 75 incidents in the city and 126 in­ cidents for rural Hastings. Caris gave a breakdown of time spent at the scene for city and rural incidents. For city incidents, firefighters spent a total of 510 man ho- -s. 53 hours and an average of three quarters of an hour answering calls. For rural incidents, Hastings firemen spent a total of 1,222 man hours at the scene, 190 hours and an average of one hour and 45 minutes answering calls. A total of 525 firemen answered alarms, in 1981, but not making it to the fire department on time.

The Saxons brought up the rear in the team standings and failed to qualify a wrestler for regional action this Saturday at Hastings High. But all wasn't lost for Barry County Class B wrestling. Four Delton-Kellogg wrestlers, including two that finished first, qualified for next weekend by finishing in the .‘op four Satur­ day. Heavyweight Tim Miller and 105 pounder Todd Haven took home firsts for the Pan­ thers, and Bill Johncock, 112, and Jess Kent, a 126 pounder, each took a fourth in their weight class. Lakewood, another Barry County team represented Saturday, didn’t qualify a wrestler and finished with two points, helping the Saxons form the bottom of the standings. Delton's Miller, who has rolled to a 26-0 record in his senior year, grabbed his first place finish with tour pins. In fact, all of his 26 victories this season have been by a pin. He disposed of his opponents in 15 seconds, 26 seconds’ 1:12 and 24 seconds. “Timmy was awesome as usual,' Delton coach Rob Heethuis offered. “This next week he will be tested though. The regional will have some good boys in it." Haven, the 105 pound freshman that has rolled to a 19-3 record this season, is for real Heethuis said. "He has a good chance to go to state," he added. "He was the number one seed, so he didn't sneak up on anyone, and he won’t this week either.” Johncock lost out on third place in the tournament by default. He strained a shoulder, but Heethuis expects him to be ready for this weekend. Kent lost in the battle for third place on a close decision to Dave Meert of Plainwell. "As a team we had a great first round Saturday.” Heethuis said. “With a few breaks in the later rounds we could have finished even higher. The Panthers finished fifth in the final count out of the 19 teams at the tournament. Eaton Rapids, who qualified seven wrestlers for next weeks action, won the team honor with 156'^ points. They were followed by Mason 1054 points, Lansing Waverly 974 points, Haslett 82 points and then the Panthers with 81 points. The rest of the roll call in order of finish was Okemos 644, Lowell 614, Otsego 60, Portland 58, Allegan 554, Plainwell 50, Caledonia 424, Charlotte 414, Wayland Union 41. Ionia 38, Gull Lake 27, South Haven 12, Lakewood 2 and Hastings 0. Hastings spikers drop 3 matches Vince Brod'ey of Hastings works for an escape in wrestling action Saturday at Hastings High. The Hastings Saxons volleyball squad dropped three non-league matches this week heading into the final two weeks of action. On Monday. Feb. 22, they traveled to Pennfield in Batle Creek and came home with a pair of losses. In their first match of the evening they dropped a 15-3,15-3 decision Middleville rolls closer to Blue title The Thornapple-Kellogg Trojans ganged up on Comstock Park 87-63 Tuesday, and moved one game away from wrapping up at least a share of the OK-Blue title. All of the Trojans got in on the mugging of Park. Twelve Trojans played and all of them scored Middleville used the press and the fast­ break to bust out to a 24-4 lead at the end of the first quarter. By halftime the Trojans were on top by 27 points, 51-24, and the bench played most of the second half. Three Trojans hit double figures for the evening. Brian Miller led the way with 16 points. He was joined by Dave Perry who dropped in 13 and Steve Scott who tallied 10. Perry was the Trojan force on the boards with 12. He helped Middleville roll up a 57-24 advantage off the glass. Miller and Jeff Kerber helped out with nine rebounds each. Jim Schipper helped with a floor game that included three steals, five assists and eight points. Steve Scott led the Trojans with eight assists in the ballgame and Dave VanSickle came off the bench to hand our four. The Trojans shot 48 percent from the field hitting 38 of 79 attempts. The win moves the Trojans to 16-2 for the year, 10-2 in the OK-Blue. They take on Comstock Park again on Friday. This time the game is on the road, and the Trojans could claim at least a share of the title with a win. A week from Friday the Trojans finish out their season with a visit to second place Hamilton (three league losses). In other Barn County games Tuesday: The Maple Valley Lions waited for Vestaburg to cool off Tuesday, and then pulled away in the second half fora 71-66 win. The TCAA win lifted the overall Lion record to 9-9 and 7-5 in the league. Veslaburg stayed right with the Lions in the first half shooting at a 64 percent clip (18 of 28), but once they cooled off in the second half the Lion rebounding look it's toll. Maple Valley rolled to a 38-29 edge on the boards led by Jeff Beebe who grabbed 10, and Randy Joosibems who hauled down 9. Four Lions scored in double figures with Beebe leading the way again. He netted 19 points and was joined in double digits by Eric Wolff who tossed in 17, Mickey Mahon with 15 and Joostbems with 10. Free throws made up the scoring dif­ ference. The Lions hit 20 of 29 from the charity stripe. The Wolverines on the other hand, hit four of just 10 attempts. Wolff sparkled at the free throw line for the Lions hitting 9 of 9. The Lions are on the road for their last Iwq games of the season. They travel to Central Montcalm on Friday, and go to Vestaburg a week from Friday. Delton 73 St. Philip 53 The Delton-Kellogg Panthers got their fast break rolling in the second half Tuesday, and rolled over KVA opponent St. Philip 73-53. The Panthers took advantage of a 20-13 scoring margin in the first quarter, and a 2311 margin in the final quarter to take the victory. Al halftime St. Philip trailed by just three points, but the Panthers led by Dave Barry who scored 16 of his 25 points in the second half, got things rolling and took control of the game. Two other Panthers chipped in with double figure outputs. Senior Craig Pennock scored 16 and senior ftobert Stephens scroed 12 in their last regular season home games as Panthers. ***★★★** Scoreboard ********** YOUTH SATURDAY Cage Results • BASKETBALL Friday, Feb. 19 Delton ... 64 Kalamazoo ... 75 Lakewood .. 80 Coopersville ... 66 Maple Valley ... 50 Portland .. 51 50 Middleville Caledonia ..56 53 Hastings.. 55 (OT) Marshall Saturday, Feb. 20 Pennfield ... 70 Delton ... 58 Tuesday, Feb. 23 St. Phillips...53 Delton ... 73 Lakewood... 58 Charlotte ... 72 Maple Valley ... 71 Vestaburg ... 66 Middleville...87 Comstock Pk...63 Cage Schedule Tuesday, March 2 Lakewood hosts Fremont Friday, March 5 Delton visits Galesburg-Augusta Hostings visits Sturgis Lakewood visits Fremont Maple Valley hosts Vestaburg Middleville visits Hamilton YMCA-Youth Council • INDOOR SOCCER • Game results for February 17.

The Lakewood Vikings turned the ball over 19 times in the first half Tuesday, and suf­ fered a 72-58 loss at the hands of Charlotte. They toned things down committing just five the rest of the game, but the 23 point lead Charlotte had at halftime proved to be too much. Charlotte's press was the major reason the Vikings gave the ball away, especially in the second quarter. The Oriles rolled to a 20-8 scoring margin over that eight minutes of action and gave the Vikings little hope for the second hah. Lakewood's Randy Hazel turned in a good performance in the losing cause. He led the Vikes in scoring with 22 and led them to a 2620 edge in rebounding hauling down 10. Jc.f Duits was the only other Vike to score in double figures. He netted 14 while fellow forward and Viking leading scorer Tom Eckstrom managed just seven points. The non-conference loss drops the Vike record to 10-7 overall. It was the fifth time this season the Vikings,have lost in nonleague play. They are 9-2 in the league and can wrap up a share of the Tri River title with a victory Friday at Cedar Springs. The Vikes close out the season with a pair of league games against Fremont next week.

Feb. 24. the Saxons dropped another non-league match to Gull Lake. 15-11, 6-15, 15-13. , "We blew them out in the second game," Freridge said. “I can’t figure out the rest of the match." * Freridge said that Kristi Bayer, Guenther and Lori Teunessen provided serving help in the losing cause, and said Godfrey and Missy Pennock did a good job of spiking. He also cited Theresa Hause for her defensive play. The three losses drop the Saxons to 8-12 overall, and they remain 5-7 in the Twin Valley.

Fanfish are rated fair to good on Fine and Gun Lake. Pike has been very active for tipup fans and a good weekend is predicted by the DNR. The new snow this week should make tracking for rabbits easier. Remember this is the last weekend for rabbit hunting in Zone 3 of the state. The DNR is requesting help frcm the public in reporting any wild turkey seen wintering in southwestern Michigan between now and April 1. They need the information to accurately determine total population monitor new flock expansion. Anyone observing wild turkeys is urged to note the location of the birds, the time of day and the number of turkeys seen. This in­ formation should be called into any of the following offices: Plainwell District Office, 616-685-6851. Allegan State Game Area Headquarters. 616-673-2430; Barry Slate Game Area, 616-795-3280, Crane Pond State Game Area Headquarters 616-244-5928. Snowmobile trails are closed in the Barry and Allegan Game areas. Yankee Springs Recreation Area reports poor conditions for snowmobiling. Bird watchers and feeders have enjoyed about two months of their hobby, taking on a responsibility and learning through their ready-made classroom — a window. Bird feeders take on a responsibility when they start feeding birds in the winter, the DNR says. Birds remain in the area of the food source and come to depend on the food people put out for them. If people stop the regular feeding, the birds suffer. Another thing the DNR thinks bird feeders should be aware of is the help you give predators. By attracting a large group of birds to one place, it makes easy pickings for predators. Cooper’s Hawks are known to take ad­ vantage of the gatherings and the occasional unsuspecting bird becomes lunch. Feeders in the area can attract as many as 20 different species. Commonly seen birds include tufted titmice, black-capped chickadees, blue jays, cardinals, tree sparrows, white breasted nuthatches, and house sparrows. Some people try to attract special species. For instance, finches and woodpeckers are attracted to suet and thistle seed.

Seated around the table are. from left, Richard Reyff, Judy hughes, Norval Thaler, Wendell Strickland, and Elsie Furrow. The Hastings The Barry County Apportionment Com mission, ordered by the Michigan Court of Appeals to adopt a new county commissioner redistricting plan, is asking the court for a time extension to work out details for a new plan. The court of appeals ruled February 24 that Barry's reapportionment plan, adopted in December, was void because it did "not meet the requirements of the laws of this state,” and it is violation of Public Act 261 of 1966.'’ The court order said Barry’s adopted plan, challenged by former county commissioner Emmet Herrington, showed "a lack of good­ faith effort to achieve districts of equal population. ’ The court instructed the county­ apportionment commission to adopt a new plan within 10 days of its its order. In its order, the court noted that the county­ apportionment commission had rejected six other plans with lower population variance Banner Devoted to the Interests of Barry County Since 1856 Vol. 127, No. 9 ratios and had placed the inviolability of political subdivisions and election precincts be.ore mathematical exactness Prosecutor Judy Hughes, who senes on the reapportionment panel, said the com­ mission would have to submit a plan by­ Friday (March 5) to be in compliance with the court order. At its meeting last Tuesday, the ap­ portionment commission voted to ask the court for an extension of time and to meet again today (Thursday) at 3:30. The commission said the time extension would allow it to conduct a possible head count in several areas of the county in order . to draw definite boundaries for a new redistricting plan submitted Tuesday by­ County Clerk Norval Thaler. Thaler's plan, the only new plan sub­ mitted, is for seven county commissioner districts and has the lowest population variation — 1.00986 — of any plan submitted Hastings, Michigan Price 20c Thursday, March 4,1982 Three people convicted of assault and battery Three Delton people, arrested in con­ junction with the axe beating Gf a Delton man on Valentines Day, were convicted of assault and battery, Monday, in 56th District Court. Laurel Gene Garrison 29. 11564 Wall Lake Rd., Timothy Elwell. 18, of the same address and Dianne Kinney. 36, 14670 E Shore Dr , were arraigned. Feb 18. before District Court Judge Gary R. Holman. The three were charged with assault and battery with intent to do bodily harm less than murder to Dean C. Daniels, 25, who was living with Kinney. Daniels had told Barry County Sheriff's Deputies that Kinney had gone out with Garrison at about 4 p.m on Valentines Day. Garrison and Kinney returned to the house at about 10 p.m. and Daniels told the two that Kinney could come into the house but Garrison could not. He said that they left and returned later with two other men. He told deputies that Garrison used a pick that was sitting outside the kitchen door, to break the door and Kinney reached though the broken glass and opened the door. As they entered, Garrison hit him about 15 times in the head with an axe, Daniels said. Deputies' report said that a short and heavy man hit Daniels with a piece of firewood. Daniels said that Kinney told them to "take him outside and work him over." Afterwards, Kinney told them td take Daniels back inside before someone saw them, the report said. Later, Daniels told deputies that he ran next door and used the phone to call his landlord. The report said that Daniels, bleeding badly, became ko weak to stand and the neighbor, a Mrs. Thornton, called the Sheriff Department. Daniels was admitted to Pennock Hospital, Monday, Feb. 15 and released on Feb.16, hospital records show. Kinney, Elwell and Garrison pleaded no contest to a lesser charge, assault and Reaganomics unfair and not working, Wolpe tells Rotarians by Robert J. Johnston U.S. Congressman Howard Wolpe (DDelta Township) told members of the Hastings Rotary Club, Monday, that the Reagan economic program is not working and is unfair. He pointed out that for the first time, some Wall Street analysts have used the term "depression" for the coming state of the economy “I’ve never seen the degree of bipartisan concern and growing bipartisan fear that the administration is not prepared to accept compromise." Wolpe told the businessmen's group meeting at the Moose Lodge. He said the combination of recordbreaking federal deficits of the Reagan administration and tight moneypolicies of the Federal Reserve Board have the effect of keeping interest rates high. "Interest rates have become the Achilles heel of the entire economic recovery," the two-term congressman said. He said that the predicted deficits during the next four years will exceed the cumulative deficits of the past 20 years. He added that the federal deficit is predicted to be $111 billion in 1982. $120 billion in 1983, $129 billion in 1984 and $104 billion in 1985. The deficit for the first three months of the 1982 fiscal year was $48 billion, the largest in history for one quarter “What the financial markets are looking at is the enormous intrusion of the federal govennent in competing for borrowing," he said. He said Congress was told by ad­ ministration officials that the supply side economic policies would give the economy a psychological shot in the arm and that the tax cut would pay for itself with the renewed economic activity it would stimulate. (Supply side economic policy theorizes that a tax cut will generate enough money, in the economy to increase government revenues.) He charged that the Reagan ad­ ministration altered its basic figures when developing the economic program to make it appear to work, instead of altering the program to fit the current economic figures. “They've done it again in the recent budget." he said. "They figure an eight to nine percent interest rate, but the Congressional Budget Office says that a 13 percent interest rate will be average." Wolpe said that for every one percent that unemployment is larger than forecast by administration officials, it adds $25 billion to the deficit. He also said that the administration is predicting a 10 percent annual growth in the economy for several years, which will, they say. reduce the deficits. "Economists say that tremendous burst in economic activity will not take place." he challenged, "and if it did take place it would be tremendously inflationary." Wolpe said the Reagan progrm also operates unfairly toward different groups U.S. Congressman Howard Wolpe speaks to members of the Hastings Rotary Club. (Banner Photo) battery, before Judge Holman, at the preliminary exam, March 1, at 56th District Court. The plea was accepted and Kinney and Garrison were sentenced to 12 days in Barry County Jail with 12 days credit towards their sentences. Elwell was sentenced to two days in Barry County Jail, with two days credit towards his sentence. Elwell is to maintain contact with his parents. Assault and battery carries a possible sentence of 0 to 90 days in jail at the judge’s discretion. Judy Hughes, Barry County prosecutor, said that the 12 day -sentences were more than often received in court for the charge. “The judge may have been taking into consideration the feelings of the victim who had contemplated dropping the charges," Hughes said. prior to the court's action. The previously adopted plan, voided by the court also reduced the present 11 districts to seven, but had a population variation of 1 Ofi, meaning a*difference of 379 people from the highest populated district to the lowest. Thaler said his new proposed plan "splits precincts almost' the same as before...and keeps the city of Hastings intact." The proposed plan includes new districts of Thornapple and Yankee Springs townships; Irving. Rutland, and Hastings; the city of Hastings and a small fringe area (about 151) north of the city 35; Carlton, Woodland, and most of Castleton townships; Johnstown. Maple Grove, and Assy ria townships plus 581 people from Castleton in the Nashville area; Orangeville and Prairieville townships plus 866 persons in the southern part of Barry Township; and Baltimore and Hope town­ ships and the rest of Barry. The apportionment commission agreed to set a deadline of noo.i today (Thursday) for the public to submit plans with a deviation ratio of 1.02 or less. Interest Hiked to Lure Bidders Second swing still a miss in bond sale A second strike was tossed at the Barry County Board of Public Works Tuesday when it met to open bids for the county’s portion of the Gull Lake Sewer project. This was the second time that Barry's $550,000 bond issue for the project failed to be a hit with bidders. No bids were received at the BPW's February 17 bond sale and it was a repeat performance Tuesday with no bids to open. Consequently, the BPW has added extra incentives to lure prospective bidders for its third attempt to sell the bonds on March 22. The meeting will held in the Commissioners' Room in Hastings. Drain Commissioner Audrey Burdick, who serves as secretary-director of the BPW, said the interest limit for the bonds has been increased from 13 to 15 percent in hopes of attracting bidders. The Barry County Board of Commissioners recently approved an ammendment to its original sewer project resolution allowing the BPW to hike the interest rate. The resolution also provides for the bonds to be discounted up to five percent. If the bonds are not sold on March 22, an extension will be needed to maintain state and federal grants which have been obtained to finance the majority of the cost of the entire $10.4 million sewer project. Only a small portion of residents in parts of Barry and Prairieville townships will be served by the proposed Gull Lake Sewer Project. The majority of potential users reside in two townships in Kalamazoo County. Because Barry has been unable to sell its bonds, Kalamazoo has had to place its bond sale on hold even though it has received bids for its $4.5 million bond issue. The Michigan Municipal Finance Commission has stipulated that one county cannot sell bonds unless both have buyers. Mrs. Burdick has said that one reason for the lack of interest in Barry’s bonds might be because its bond issue is relatively small in comparison to Kalamazoo. Financial advisors also have said that Michigan's general poor economic con­ ditions are a strike against selling bonds here. Barry County also received a lower financial rating,(Bbb), than Kalamazoo which is rated "A." Possible reasons for the lower rating include the fact that BarryCounty is primarily an agricultural county and the county's tax collection rate is lower than usual, said County Treasurer Elsie Furrow. The lax collection rale in Barry is about 84 percent and investment rating firms prefer to have it up in the 90 percentile bracket, she said. School Board to ask for summer tax collection Superintendent Richard J. Guenther will recommend that the Hastings Board of Education ask the Hastings mayor and the city council to study collecting school taxes in the summer. Guenther will recommend the summer tax levy for the school district be effective, at the earliest, for the summer of 1983. "Realizing that the school has cash flow problems with the present method of collection of taxes, it may be feasible to adjust the collection date which would enhance the school’s financial situation," Kenneth Howe, Hastings mayor, said Wednesday, "thereby saving them from borrowing monies that could be covered if the city were to change the millage collection date. "According to preliminary studies, by changing the dates of collection, there could continued on page 8 and toward different parts of the county. Some industries, such as building, real estate, farming and automobiles are affected more by high interest rates than others, he said. Net farm income is at its lowest rate since 1932 and 40 percent of the farms with loans from the Farmers Home Administration will nave to close down unless lliose loans are extended, he said. continued on page 3 Basic mistake involves State Police blockade “Your basic misunderstanding" caused the Hastings State Police to set up a blockade, after they received a call involving a possible abduction, Saturday afternoon, according to Sgt. .Richard Zimmerman of the Hastings Team. “The subject contacted us while travelling though Delton." Zimmerman said, "when he saw (someone) grab a young boy from a bicycle and put him in a van.' Zimmerman said that the subjects in the van took the bicycle, too. “It appeared initially to be an ab­ duction." Zimmerman said. Hastings state troopers requested a blockade Sometime later. Deputy Lynn Cruttenden. of the Barry County Sheriff Department, saw the dark colored van in a grocery store parking lot in Delton. Hastings state troopers drove to the site and waited for the subjects to come out of the store. In questioning the subjects in the van. it was determined that they were the youth's parents "It was a misunderstanding between all parties." Zimmerman said, "because the boy was home and the bike was home." ■'Apparently, the parents were having trouble with the boy and he tried to ride away (from home), but the parents put him in the van and drove home," he added. |________________ _ ____________________- The Western Michigan University Gold Company is one of four musical groups to perform at Central Auditorium at 7:30 p.m.., Saturday, to raise money for the Hastings music program (Photo wpp Gold Company to raise money for Hastings music program A jazz vocal ensemble will entertain to help raise money for the Hastings music program.

March4.1982 — Page2 PUBLIC OPINION: West Woodland News QUESTION OF THE WEEK: It seems that some people are always complaining about their hometown and county, looking for the dark side or trying to find an issue. What do you find that’s good about the the place where we live? JACK ECHTINAW 320 N. Michigan, Hastings Businessman JERRY HENSLEY 903 S.

North St., Hastings Minister by Liz Kingsbury Though many people, at the National Bank of Hastings, Tuesday morning, felt that there is room for improvement, on the whole they all like Hastings and small town living. Jack Echtinaw, a local service station owner, simply said/Tt’s just a good place to live.” Mabel Boyion, who is active in volunteer work in Hastings, said,"I was country born and 1 feel, much more at home in'a small town than a big city. On the whole, and I’ve lived here 20 years, I’m happy here." "You’ve got to make your own place," said Virginia Jensen, a housewife who lives on Bedford Road. "To have a friend you have to be one. There’s always room for im­ provement almost everywhere you go. "I’ve lived here for 25 years and I think the town is great." Martha LaJoye, a homemaker from 446 W. Colfax, said, "Well, I like it myself. I like Hastings. I think it’s a nice, clean town. It’s friendly and they have good schools.” “It’s quiet,” said Jerry Hensley, a union carpenter who just moved here from Boston. "I like a small town. I just moved in from a big town." Ken Vaught, a minister for the Hope United Methodist Church, said, "I’ve been here for 13 years. I like a small town; I enjoy the people. You have a chance to know a lot of people in a small community and I like that. "I appreciate the school system; my kids came up though the schools." "1 think, on the whole, people are really friendly in this town," said Pat Martin, a manager of the Hastings McDonald's, who has only lived here three years. Dick Welton, 1810 E. Mill, who is selfemployed said that he likes the people here. “They work together," he said. College-bound Hastings High senior faces Social Security benefit cutoff Like many other Hastings High School seniors, Andy McFadden looks forward to a college education. Like hundreds of thousands of students who qualify for Social Security benefits, Andy was erroneously led to believe that his benefits would continue. In early January. Andy and his family were shocked with the information that Social Security Administration brochures were wrong — unless high school seniors (who qualify) enter college by May 1, they would no longer be eligible for benefits. "I'm in the boat that's being rocked." Andy said. As a result of the Reagan Administration's budget cuts, last year, the entire college aid program is to be phased out over four years, with monthly payments reduced by 25 percent a year. According to U.S. Senator Carl Levin DMich.. who is one of the sponsors of a bill designed to extend the cutoff date from May 1 to Oct. 1, 1982. Social Security "mistakenly” sent out old brochures, which informed beneficiaries that they would remain eligible for benefits upon attending a post-secondary institution.

"Not only did the students receive erroneous information by mail, numerous Social Security offices around the country also provided (information based on the old law)". Levin sAid. As recently as February. Levin added. Social Security employees were giving in­ formation based on the old law. "It sort of snuck up on us." said Andy of the news of the deadline. "It put us at a disadvantage." Andy, whose father died four years ago. has been accepted at Michigan State. University. He is scheduled to start his fresh­ man year, in the fall and plans to study chemistry. If Andy were to start college by March 31. he would still be eligible for benefits. In Andy's case, this is not possible. "It is against school policy for students to graduate early." he said. "Besides. I'm not ready to start college, (in late March) anyway.” Andy has taken some steps to try to remedy the situation. "I ll get the money somehow." he said. He has filled out the Financial Aid Form and he has written letters to state and federal legislators. In early February. U.S. Senator Carl Levin introduced a bill to extend the enrollment deadline five months The bill, entitled the Levin proposal is co­ sponsored by Senators Donald Reigle Jr. DMich. Christopher J.

Roush on Honor Roll Sheila Roush, a Hastings seventh grader was inadvertently off the honor roll sub­ mitted by the Junior High. Shiela received a 3.10 to 3.49 average. Letter to the Editor: On Thursday, February 11, the Grand Rapids Symphony String Ensemble presented our program to the 3rd and 4th grade students at Northeastern Elementary School. This was the first time the ensemble traveled to Hastings as the program is funded by the Musicians Union Local 56 and the Women’s Committee of the Grand Rapids Symphony to service the Kent County area. However, we were able to add Hastings this year on a trial basis. I must say that our efforts were amply rewarded. Besides the excellent coverage we received from the Hastings Reminder, we were also thanked through a lovely letter from Principal Lewis Lang and wonderful notes from all the students. Their positive response made our visit very satisfying. There is one sad note, however, that I must convey. In their thank you notes, many children asked when we started playing our instruments. Each of the I .embers in the group started playing while in school, in a school-operated string program. I would estimate that over 90 percent of the string players i know began their musical education in string classes in elementary or high school. It is a fact that I would not be playing a string instrument today if it weren’t for the opportunity I had in the 3rd grade to learn how to play a violin. And this is what makes me and every other musician and music lover so unhappy — no, mad and horrified. With music cut from more and more schools' budgets these days, where are our future musicians going to come from? Private lessons aren’t always readily available. And even when they are, not everyone caq afford the several hundred dollars a year to pay a teacher, let alone the cost of an instrument. Many people need to try out several instruments before settling on the one they like well enough to pursue — or to finally decide that music is just not for them. How many parents can afford to give their children that benefit? Today, most communities of any size have a community orchestra to round out the cultural aspect of their area. In just a hun­ dred mile radius of Hastings, I can think of six operating symphony orchestras (there are probably more I am not aware of) that are staffed with musicians who got their musical start in the public school system. What will happen to these orchestras 10-20 years from now? Where will they draw their new blood from? Never before in the history of any country have the fine arts enjoyed stich an advance as they have in the past decades through their introduction to the children. And now this advance is being stopped in its tracks. Our children hold the future of this world in their hands. Are those hands to be used only to make our physical lives more com­ fortable? Can’t those hands also help to nurture our spirits and make our hearts sing? Now is the time to begin the process... not after we feel the void. Beth Lepak Letter to the Editor: Blood donor motivation has been a subject of much study, both in this country and overseas. British author Richard Titmuss concluded in his book, “The Gift Relation­ ship”, that European nations, which far outstrip this country in motivating volunteer donations, have a sense of community responsibility that is lacking here. Responding to the challenge, the American Red Cross, which already collects more than half of the nation's voluntarily-donated blood, is attempting to instill an awareness of the value of community involvement through its blood recruiting campaigns. Our goal is to push beyond the circle of regular blood donors. A visit to the local Red Cross bloodmobile can be an enlightening experience. The regular blood donors are immediately ap­ parent — policemen, firemen, and utility workers. These are the men and women who daily come face-to-face with the reality that blood is required to save lives. They come because they know that not everyone can or will give blood. Each one of us is a potential recipient of blood. We all can be involved in accidents, emergency illnesses and other situations where blood could be required to save our lives. So I'm asking members of our com­ munity to think it over. If you're not a blood donor, why aren't you? Remember that only about four Americans in every 100 donate blood. The rest of us are in debt to them for the recovery of our hospitalized fellow citizens. Make the commitment to become a donor. You can help support the blood drive cn March 10 at Hastings Manufacturing from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Together we can change things. Barbara Walker Letter to the Editor: The deadline for Selective Service registration has passed, and, out of the seven and one-half million individuals who were legally obliged to register, more than nine hundred thousand did not comply. Many argue that these lav; breakers should be jailed, but there is not enough prison capacity to contain them. Most of them are no threat to the safety of the communities in which they live, and dangerous felons would have to be released to make room for them. If all these non-registrants lived in one place, they could form their own congressional district. It is not “voluntary" refusal in the legal sense, the law threathens considerable duress. Nontheless, one out of eight refused to sign the registration list. In high-compliance areas, a few of the loudest ones will be prosecuted. In low- by Victor Sisson Mrs. Charles Norris, who lives on Bowler Rd., called us to tell us that after she returned home from Hastings last week Tuesday, she went out to get her mail and discovered two robbins hopping around on the bare ground in her front yard. She feels that spring is not far away. Also, having read our last week's column, she said she remembers as a young lady going with some of her relatives, Mr. and Mrs. Colonel Yarger, who resided on Brown Rd., to Freeport on a shopping trip and did their shopping at Everhart’s Store. Mrs. Betty Smith of near Woodbury also called us again last week to tell us they were serenaded last Monday evening by a group of experienced singers and counted 17 red winged black­ birds in the top of one of the walnut trees in their yard singing praises to their creator and they were there every evening all the week. Mr. and Mrs. Eldon Roush and son, Darin of Roush Road, Hastings, stopped for a brief visit with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Victor Sisson, Sunday evening. They were on their way to Lansing, taking Darin, who had been home for the weekend, back to the city where he is a student at Lansing Community College. Mr. and Mrs. Elwin Curtis were Sunday afternoon callers on Mrs. Eva Stowell. Mr. and Mrs. Ted Jordan were Sunday dinner and afternoon guests of Mr. and Mrs. Ken Meringa and children of Grand Rapids. En route home, they called on the Gary McCauls of Caledonia. Mr. and Mrs. Stuart Kussmaul of Woodland were Saturday evening callers on Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Lehman of Ionia. Otto Kunde of Freeport was a Sunday afternoon caller on Mrs. Roy Norton. Mr. and Mrs. Byron Hesterly, Mrs. Hildred Hesterly and Mrs. Virginia Tousley were Sunday dinner and afternoon guests of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Blair of Mulliken. Lloyd Makley observed his 75th birthday Sunday and in observance of the occasion his son, Ron, wife and little Nicholas and Vicki Marie joined his folks for supper Saturday evening, bringing with them a beautiful birthday cake. Then Sunday evening, Mr. and Mrs. Gene Makley of Lake Odessa with their family, Scott and Brenda Makley, Brad and Cheryl Lehman, Courtney and Ricky and Vicki Marie, came with ice cream and cake and so a second celebration was enjoyed. Monday afternoon callers were Scott Velte and Scott Makley. Last Tuesday afternoon, Mrs. Stephen DeGroote and daughter, Mrs. Jeff Morton, joined some 250 other farm wives of the Lake Odessa area for a special luncheon in their honor. The affair was the second annual such gathering sponsored by Smith Brothers Elevators and was held at the Community Building in Lake Odessa. The speaker of the afternoon was Laura Heuser who, with her husband, operates a large fruit farm in Van Buren County. The subject of her address was "Get Involved", and she urged her listeners to take an active part in the sur­ vival of agriculture and not leave it all up to their husbands. Her speech was humorous and thought-provoking. In the evening, the DeGrootes were supper guests at the Morton home, helping little Kristine celebrate her second birthday. Sunday afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. James Hostetler and Darlene, accompanied by his brother, Orlo, and wife of Alto, drove to Jackson to the home of the former's daughter and family, the David Baumans. The men’s mother, Mrs. Edna Hostetler of Mason, had been a dinner guest at the Bauman home and they all had a pleasant afternoon of visiting. I would like to make a correction or two in last week’s news. It was Mr. (Roger) Bux­ ton, not Mrs., who called on Jim Jemison Sunday afternoon to help him celebrate his birthday. And in the item about the special program at the Woodland United Methodist Church, Mrs. Nola (Rairigh) Payne was described as the painest of the group of entertainers. Mrs. Payne is an accomplished musician and played the piano and I'm sure it was painless. In my “reminiscence”, one of the clerks in the Everhart store was listed as Mae Kanker, it should have been Mae Karcher. Mrs. Roger Buxton and daughter, Ann, accompanied a group of friends from Hastings to Lansing, Friday evening, where they attended the Intercollegiate Rodeo which had been held there at the Michigan State University in the Livestock Pavilion. The co-ed competition brought in contestants from several of the western states, including South Dakota, Nebraska and Wisconsin, and the animals they brought were beautiful and a visual treat for the eyes of the animal lovers. Allen Johnston and his roommate, Tim Stevens of Grand Rapids, were Sunday dinner guests of the former's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Everett Johnston Lake Odessa Notes Nancy Alvillar and son, Joey, of Spring, Texas and Mr. and Mrs. Kim Haney and family of Conroe, Texas, have returned home after a visit with their parents Mr. and Mrs. Max Haney and family, relatives and frifends. Harold Johnston who was injured in a fall at the Smith Brothers Elevator at Woodland last November has returned to work on a restricted basis. Nicholas the six-month old son of Dennis and Anita (Erb) Mitchell was released from the hospital, Tuesday, after being hospitalized for pneumonia. Colleen Hummel will be leaving to join her husband, Greg, at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., where he will be attending school for eight weeks. He has completed his basic air force training at San Antonio, Texas, and tran­ sferred to attend the heavy equipment classes. Mr. and Mrs. Laverne Stalter have pur­ chased and will be residing in the small house on Fourth Street, near Jordan Lake Avenue. He operates the Stalter Radiator shop on Tupper Lake Street. The Past Matrons of the Lake Odessa Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star held their monthly meeting and pot luck supper at the home of Crystal Howard, last Tuesday. The next meeting will be March 16, at the home of Marcia Raffler with a 6:30 p.m. pot luck supper. New officers elected for the coming year are Marcia Raffler-president and Betty Logan secretary-treasurer. March 13 the Adult Sunday School class of the Congregational Church are sponsoring their annual progressive supper. The Lakewood schools enrollment stays a'oout the same as the count on Oct. 2 ( 2733) The count for Jan. 29 was 2724 for enrollment in K-12 classes. Some districts have reported losses because of economic conditions and unemployment have caused families to change locations. The spring vacation, this Letters, continued— compliance areas, in spite of threatening letters from the Selective Service ad­ ministration, relatively few will be prosecuted. Equal rights under the law will not be evident, the families of the non­ registrants will be able to wield considerable local i»olitical clout in low-compliance zones. I am not surprised with Alexander Haig unwilling to rule out the use of U.S. combat troops in El Salvador, his insistence that “El Salvador is not Vietnam" impresses no one. It looks very much like Vietnam on television newscasts. The unpopularity of the Vietnam war, and the mistreatment of Vietnam veterans who returned, both concern the non­ registrants. El Salvador looks like a re-run. Men are often willing to die for what they believe in, but few will participate in a combat action that gives them no pride and costs them the respect of their countrymen. It will be interesting to see what the ad­ ministration does next. Sincerely, Frederick G. Schantz Barry-Eaton District Health Dept. Calendar of Events: Thurs..

Letters to the Editor CONTINUED: To the Editor I noticed a recent criticism directed at a candidate for changing his residence within the 55th district. Then, by thesame token, an assumption can be made that the Kalamazoo area will not be included in the 55th district. Therefore, why are residents of Barry County being asked to give funds to a Wine and Cheese affair for a candidate who will no longer rep-esent this area? Or do they think Barry County will benefit from the present candidate's past decisions in other areas, such as his voting for the $800,000 Silverdome subsidy? It will be a LONG time before those benefits "trickle down" for our local benefit. It would seem to me that if a candidate is qualified for the office of state represen­ tative for this district that he should be elected based on his own merit, and on his position on local public issues, and not receive criticism for the fact that he chose to make Barry County his residence where he can converse locally with public bodies. The fact that he is interested enough to move here so that he can learn first hand about the problems and needs of our com­ munity should be considered a favor to our area. Or does it pose a threat to the statusquo of our present governing regime? Is this the reason the opposition has resorted to name calling for fear their ivory towers might be toppled by fresh young initiative? II would seem the local political party would support financially the candidate who resides in this area, or ar e we so affluent that we can support two candidates for the same office? It surely raises a Question in this period of imited resources why the local party would financially support a candidate who may not be a pari of our local district, and does NOT reside here. Trying To Understand Local Politicians. Erma Flory �The Hastings Banner - Thursday, March 4,1982 - Page 3 St Rose of Lima kindergarten Zoo Day provides wide variety of animal entertainment for students You don't need to go to a zoo to be en­ tertained and enlightened about the animal kingdom. No live animals were there, but Mrs. Cindy Bender's class provided fun. Wednesday morning, that evena zoo couldn't compete with. In what zoo can you find a "petting zoo" where the animals never bite, or a musical presentation? St. Rose kindergarten Zoo Day had it all. thanks to lots of time, planning and par­ ticipation on the part of kindergartners' parents. The semiannual event, the brainchild of Mrs. Bender, took two months of preparation. Her kindergarten class had also been studying animals for two menths. In making a film presentation children were able to choose an animal to make a picture of and make a taped speech about. The construction of the pictures was aided by brochures provided by the Brookfield Zoo in Chicago. Mrs. Bender's unit covered every aspect of animal study. "Dr. Clark <a local veterinarian) came in wnen we studied pels (and) Jack Gergen from the (Cooperative Extension Service) came in when we talked about farm animals." Mrs. Bender said. Studying was only part of the preparation for the big day Kindergartners used their best handwriting and artwork to explain what they would do if they worked for a zoo. Washing the animals was a popular am­ bition for the aspiring zooworkers. Others wanted to drive the zoo bus or fill the monkey's water pond. Kindergartners made the da,. musical by learning songs about animals including the oldtime favorite, "How Much is That Doggy in the Window?" To add pizazz to their musical numbers, kindergartners made visual aids and learned to hop. wag their “tails” and swing their "trunks”. But no zoo day would be complete without a replica of the real thing. z\fter the film show and the songs, parents, teachers, students were invited onstage to see the petting zoo. featuring stuffed animals in cages made by the kindergartners and their parents. The zoo even had its own concession stand where zoogoers could get free popcorn Then, as they left, people could find out what the kindergartners would do if they worked in a zoo. Posted on the stage wall were neatly let­ tered compositions complete with illustrations. Parents were also invited to tour Mrs. Bender's kindergarten classroom, after the presentation was over. On the way to the classroom, from the basement in the old school, the zoo theme was carried out. “In the upstairs hallway, it's all animals, too," Mrs. Bender said. Members of the "Kids Only Club" met with Sheriff David O. Wood to see the equipment from the dive van. Shown are (kneeling from left) Jenny King, Jenny Toravello, (standing) Lesley Dipert, Krrs Ross, Christy Spindler, Anna Spindler. Naeole Burger, and Tracy Johncock. Banner photo Civic minded kids to raise dive van money dive program. Sheriff David O. Wood hosted a tour of the department and explained the equipment in the van. A 1973 Chevrolet StepVan has been acquired for the dive team, which is currently be outfitted with storage cabinets and other fixtures. Wood said that Hastings Manufacturing Company had volunteered to rebuilt the van's engine. No date is yet projected when the van will Im? in service. A civic minded group of Hastings youngsters have formed a club for the sole purpose of raising money for the Barry County Sheriff's Department dive van and equipment. Called the'Kids Only Club", the eight to 12 year old Hastings girLs were organized by Anna Spindler to hold bake sales, neigh borhood canvasses, a play and other fun­ draising projects. To help the g’ris know a bit more about the Members sought for support of Thornapple Civic Theatre Mrs. Kruger is requesting anyone interested or knowing of someone interested to contact her or any board member. She would also welcome anyone interested in the theatre, wanting to become a member or having a desire to assist in any way to call her at MS2345. Currently, plans are progressing toward a local talent show, “Review”, that will take place Friday, March 26 a* Central Auditorium. Acts now signed up include magicians, solo and group musicians, singers and dancers; additional acts are invited to participate and further in­ formation can be received from Julie Kruger. Again, the Thomapple Civic Theatre is new. looking for increased membership and people who are willing to help in any way. Membership fees have been established at $15 for adults and $5 for juniors. A fair price to help support creative entertainment. Formed last year, the Thornapple Civic Theatre is growing to find and fill a cultural need of Hastings Presently, this energetic group is looking for an increased mem­ bership to help support the theatre. They are also in need of locating the many talented people of this area. Many years ago, Hastings had an active Follies with a large membership and lots of community support. Local residents recall how nice it was to go out for a performance. The new Thomapple Civic Theatre is hard at work to re-establish that enthusiasm for plays and productions. The present board of directors has elected Julie Kruger as president and according to Mrs. Kruger. Thornapple Civic Theatre welcomes anyone interested in working toward a fully functioning community theatre A few board positions are still un­ filled. such as production coordinator and junior trustee (age 18 or under for junior). LAKE ODESSA NEWS continued from page 2 Police, Monday, and the presentation was made at the Ionia Post. This was in recognition of the Lakewood High School antivandalLsm project "Pride." The family of Theda Coppess held an open house Feb. 28 for her retirement from the State of Michigan Treasury Building Income Tax Department, where she had been em­ ployed for 17 years. She formerly lived at Sunfield and moved to her home at 612 Sixth Avenue, Lake Odessa, a year ago.

Barry County recyciing meeting was held last Monday evening Recycling In Barry County (RIBC) held its first public meeting March 1, at the Hastings Junior High School. RIBC volunteers Shirley Wietnak, Jackie Schmitz, and Darlene Paulauski coordinated the meeting. The highlight of the meeting was speaker Carolyn Brock from the Kent County Department of Public Works. Brock is program manage- for the KentOttawa Resource Recovery Project. She showed a slide presentation which illustrated the solid waste a household accumulates by day. week, month, and year. Nationally, over three pounds of solid waste is produced per person per day. It is estimated that 50 percent of this could be recycled. Brock said. Recyclable waste includes glass bottles and jars (colored or clear), tin and aluminum beverage and food car. > (foil as well), plastic milk jugs, bags, cardboard, paper bags and newspapers. Brock expounded the merits of recycling. Public concern caused recycling groups to form in the 1960's when improper methods for disposal of solid waste were creating environmental problems, she said. An example would be leachates (liquid passing through solid waste) contaminating ground water. Dumps, as they were called then, produced noxious odors, housed rats, and were eyesores to their communities, she said. Today, sanitary landfills in Michigan are bei»g required by the solid waste management act (Act 641) to meet specifications to ensure that they will be environmentally sound. But, potential sites have to be feasible to begin with; not all soil is suitable for a landfill site, she added. Brock noted that good, safe sites are decreasing. By recycling, not only is landfill space saved, but also the energy needed to replace nor-recycled items, Brock continued. An excellent example would be the 97 percent savings in energy* by recycling aluminum, she said. And tin. where the U.S. is totally dependent on importing or recycling, could save up to 41 percent in energy. Brock claimed. The benefits of recycling include not only a reduction in energy usage, but an enormous reduction in the use of raw materials as well, she concluded. RIBC formed in January of this year. RIBC hopes to set up sites in Hastings and Middleville where the public can con­ veniently drop off recyclable materials. Approximately 25 people attended, in­ cluding Jaycee members; Steven Gulch from Middleville and Rex Meier from Hastings. Middleville Rotary member Jack Spencer, and Middleville Village Council Trustee Robert Engerson. Barbara Furrow from the Barry County Solid Waste Planning Committee told RIBC that there are some efforts being made in Nashville to recycle, and at one time glass was collected by a small group in Hastings. She repeated what Ken Neil (owner of Hastings Sanitary Landfill) told RIBC in January-the landfill accepts glass for recycling, free of charge, as well as major appliances. RIBC suggests contacting the landfill before bringing any items in. RIBC told the audience that Summit Steel accepts tin and aluminum, copper tubing, and other types of metal in any amount. RIBC hopes to bring recyclable metals to the industry after a site has been established.

"Tax cuts are providing enormous assistance to large corporations,” he claimed, “but not for small business.” Wolpe said the nation had 17,043 business bankruptcies, last year, which is cnly 33 short of the highest number since 1933. He also claimed that through Reagan's program of allowing profitable corporations to buy tax credits from unprofitable com­ panies, some of the most profitable cor­ porations end up paying no taxes. Middle and lower income level people are taking on a greater share of the tax burden, while two-thirds of the cuts in the federal budget are coming from programs which affect people with incomes below $20,000, he said. “The budget and energy policies in place are tremendously unfair to the Midwest and Northeast." he criticized. He said that in 1979, Michigan sent $7 billion more to the federal government than it received back in expenditures. He also said that the 12 states which receive the bulk of the oil and energy revenue are receiving a huge windfall in money through severence taxes. "It’s estimated that$220 billion will be sent to those states in this decade through severance taxes," he said. Wolpe said that he has introduced legislation which would substitute those state severance taxes for a national severance tax so wealth from energy resources would be redistributed. For economic recovery, the congressman said the first order of business was to bring interest rates down and to keep them down, which requires reducing the size of the deficit. Tax breaks for large corporations should be changed, he said. There is a movement in Congress to consider lax preferences given to certain businesses, when considering the budget. “There are $240 billion in tax preferences - special tax breaks tha flow to given areas,” he said. “This is as much a spending activity as a subsidy." Another means of attacking the deficit is to look, at the spending in the Pentagon, Wolpe said. He said that giving a blank check to the Pentagon Yesults in less national security, rather than more. In three months, Wolpe said, the Pentagon had $47 billion in cost overruns on 47 weapons systems. “The GAO (General Accounting Office) says that if they improve management in the way the Pentagon handles contracts and procurement." he claimed, “they coulu save $10 to $14 billion every year.” Reducing the deficit will require changing federal entitlement programs, such as pensions and Social Security, he conlined. Wolpe said that the cost-of-living idex is being studied to see if it exaggerates the real rate of inflation and thereby adds to inflation when cost-of-living increases are given. Another means of improving the economy would be to halt the flow of money from energy poor states to energy rich states, he said. Wolpe also said that the Federal govern­ ment needs to buy time for the automobile industries to allow retooling and moder­ nization to take place. This might involve lax credits and import restraints, he added. “Finally," he concluded, "I think we can do what needs to be done. The problem is less knowing what to do than generating the political pressure to do what needs to be done. The White House is not on board."

"If you can’t stop by, I can send you a check." Lumbert called, Burdick noted, a week before the birthday of George Washington, who “cannot tell a lie.” “I think it's good that we have hor.est businessmen in town,” Burdick said. “Besides that, he fixed the car and it’s run ever since."

School Board, continued: be a potential savings in the area uf .4 mills or approximately $60,000, annually, otherwise, the money would be paid out in interest, should the school have to borrow money. "I will recommend to the council that a committee of citizens study the school system’s proposal " "We would have saved $56,576.72 in in­ terest payments had the school taxes been levied last summer." Guenther said in the agenda for Monday's school board meeting. Also up for approval at the meeting set for 7 30 pm., is Guenther's recommendation that the April 26 millage proposal include a provision which exempts the district from the Headlee Am mendm ent for the 1982 lax year. Under the Headlee Ammer.dment. if property valuation <lhe state equalized value i for the year exceeds the inflation rate, then the millage would have to be rolled back so that it won’t exceed the inflation rate. Nelson Allen, financial officer for Hastings Area Schools, said that the amount of money saved, if the schools were exempted from the Headlee Ammendment would depend on how much the assesed value exceeds the inflation rate. "We don't know what the SEV will be,” Allen said. “ but we have to protect our­ selves. when we gel the figures. If it does exceed the inflation rate, it will be too late to go to the voters and ask for exemption." Also requiring board approval is the ballot for the April 26 election which includes the exemption from the Headlee Ammendment for one year.

Valuables such as this are often sold, and to sell them people need proof of ownership. Records of such transactions are almost as valuable as the property itself. The trouble with records is that they can be lost, stolen or destroyed. This is why the Register of Deeds is needed. As the name implies, the Register of Deeds records deeds (records of land sales! and mortgages, said Howard J. Ferris. Barry County register of deeds. The register of deeds makes microfilm copies of deeds and mortgages. Deeds, mortgages and small liens are cross-referenced under the name of the buyer and of the seller. The deeds office also keeps records of some 500 plats in the county. A plat is a piece of land that has been laid out, given a name and lot numbers for identification. "They’re recorded here and in Lansing,*’ Ferris said of the plats. The deeds office charges a $1 fee for a copy of a record from microfilm and. as per­ scribed by the state, collects $1.10 tax on each $1,000 of land sold as a recording fee. Monies frojn the tax and fees go to the county general fund. "Register of deeds offices thoughout the state are probably the only statutory office in which the fees pay for expenses (for microfilming)." Ferris said. “So we make the county a profit. This, of course varies with the amount of transactions." "During the best year. 1978, we turned over $13,000 to the county " he added. "For 1981, we turned over $3,900. You see. the eceonomy's down. The banks haven’t brought any mortgages over — everything's down." The deeds office works closely with the county treasurer and the county clerk. These three departments form the plat board ol which Ferris is chairman. The Barry County Register of Deeds office has been in operation since 1836 and Ferris has been register since April of 1961. "Eight years as Rutland Township supervisor gave me some insight on what the office entailed." Ferris said. • Before working for township and county government. Ferris was a farmer. Farming has been in Ferris' family for generations. Ferris operates a centennial farm which his grandfather look up in 1870. "We got the sign for the farm and had a celebration in 1972,” he said. Being a farmer. Ferris took a short course in agriculture at Michigan State University after graduating from Hastings in 1935.

The ice is still safe for fishermen, the Department of Natural Resources reports. Weather forecasters say night time tem­ peratures will be in the 20's, and that means safe ice for this weekend. Die-hard, day-inand day-out ice fishermen claim the best fishing is first ice and last ice. The DNR reports that pan fishing is fair all over District 12. Thornapple Lake is the hot spot in Barry County Pike season is closed until May 15. Rabbit season is closed in all but zones one and two. Check with the DNR if you plan on trying your hand at it. Dog packs are causing trouble with deer in the area. The DNR reports finding several dog killed deer recently. The sharp hoove of a deer will cut through crusty snow slowing them down, but dogs can run across the top at full speed.

Insects and winter don't seem to go together, but occasionally through the winter, a cold, sleepy looking fly or misquito goes buzzing through the house. These insects are able to come out in winter because they ’’over-winter”( find their way into a sheltered node and become dormant). Fortunately, only a few insects survive that way. Those that do survive come out when the sun warms the nook they are in, allowing them to become active enough to fly about. Some butterflies and moths also over­ winter as adults under the bark of trees.

"An additional $200 million could be cut from the budget. This could affect state aid.” Guenther told the board and some 40 members of the audience that reductions' in federal monies are also expected. During a previous school board meeting, when Guenther had recommended changing the millage date, a member of the audience had asked him, "Wouldn’t it be embarassing if you set the millage figure and you find out that it isn’t enough?" "It isn’t enough," Guenther said. “Relative to my comments on whether the 5.3 mills will do the job, but based on what’s happening, it won’t." Asked, after the meeting, what the school system will do in the face of an insufficient millage levy, Guenther said, "There’s nothing we can do at this point. When we talk about insufficient ,’unds. we’re talking speculation. We don’t know what the state is going to do." "We really don’t know when the economy continues to downslide,” he added. "We might have another deficit.” In addition, the April 1982 State Aid payment will delayed, Guenther informed the board. The Michigan Department of Education announced in a letter to school superin­ tendents that the April payment will also be split. One half of the payment will be mailed on April 20 and the remainder will be mailed on May 3, the letter said. The June and August payments will also be delayed. The June payment will be mailed on June 21, The August payment will be split with one half being mailed on Aug. 20 and one half being mailed on Sept. 20. In an interview, Guenther pointed out that the school's fiscal year does not coincide with that of the state. The fiscal year for the school runs from July 1 to June 30 of the following year. The fiscal year for the state of Michigan runs from Oct. 1 to Sept 30. "Therefore, the state aid payment delayed in August is going to have a direct effect on the school's next fiscal year,” Guenther said Cheese supply dries up as lines await handout Nearly 8,000 pounds of free federal surplus cheese has been distributed in Barry County, but that amount still wasn’t enough to fill the i eed here. At one of the distribution sites in Hastings Monday, persons started lining up at 11:30 a.m. even though the doors weren’t scheduled to open until 1 p.m Workers at the Seventh Day Adventist Community Service Center on Green St. said only 24 boxes of cheese were on hand by 1:30 p.m. — not enough to meet the needs of the many who were standing in a line that stretched around the corner. Seventh Day Adventist volunteers handed out a total of 192 five-pound blocks of cheese that day. Volunteers kept a record of the names and phone numbers of those who were waiting in line but went home empty-handed, said Dorothy Clements, Barry County Coor- contlnuod on pago 2 "The delay in state aid payment may in­ crease our need to borrow money more than usual.” The board also approved two of Guenther s recommendations that, if enacted, could save the school system interest payments and protect it from a possible millage roll back under the Headlee ammendment. The board approved Guenther’s recom­ mendation to ask the Hastings mayor and city council to study the desirability of collecting school taxes during the summer, effective, at the earEest, for the summer of 1983. “We would have saved $56,576.72 in in­ terest payments had school taxes been levied last summer," Guenther said. The board voted to include an exemption from the Headlee ammendment, for the 1982 tax year, in the April 26 millage proposal. Under the Headlee ammendment, if the property valuation (the state equalized value) for the year exceeds the state in­ flation rate (which is 10.4 percent) then the millage would have to be rolled back so that it won't exceed the inflation rate, Judy Sharp, a lab technician for Amway, asked Guenther why he recommended an exemption. "We’re estimating that we won’t even come under the ammendment," Guenther said. “This is a precautionary measure.” The board also approved the official ballot for the April 26 election, which includes the exemption from the Headlee ammendment. The millage proposal for the April 26 special election reads as follows: "Shall the limitation on the total amount of taxes which may be assessed against all property in the Hastings Area School District, Counties of Barry and Calhoun, Michigan be increased by up to a total of 5.3 mills on each dollar ($5.30 for each $1,000) of assessed valuation, as equalized of all property in the school district for a period of two years, 1082 and 1983 for the purpose of providing additional funds for operating purposes, and shall the board of education also be authorized to levy in 1982 all of its jermanently allocated and extra voted mills *.o provide necessary funds for school operating purposes?" William Cotant was appointed to represent the board at the Barry Intermediate District s budget hearing held Wednesday night. George Wibalda, vice president of the school board, presided over the meeting in the absence of Dr. William Baxter, who had a The Hastings prior personal committment. Wibalda told the board and the audience that he had received a call about Robert Miller, administrative assistant for non­ instruction who will be replacing Guenther as superintendent, receiving a sizable raise in pay. “I want to clear up any misun­ derstanding," Wibalda said. "It isn't so. Whatever he gets will be during the period when he is superintendent.” A member of the audience said that he had heard that someone that was on the school district payroll was being groomed to replace Miller as permanent superintendent "I’ve heard that rumor, loo," Wibalda said. “We do not have anyone in mind at this time." Arthur Allen, a retired farmer, inquired about the water pressure of the drinking fountains in the junior high school. Joe Duffy, a local maintenance man, added that the same problem was occurring at the St. Rose of Lima School. “I've noticed that a few (drinking foun­ tains) are real weak,” Miller said. He added that he would check on them.

Virginia Atkins (right) was one of the many who received a five-pound block of federal surplus American cheese at the Seventh Day Adventist Community Service Center in Hastings. Helping to distribute the cheese are volunteers Carl Sanborn, left, and Chuck Misser. Reactions from civic and business leaders are mixed concerning the State Tran­ sportation Commission’s decision to cut over half of the Kent, Barry and Eaton Connecting railroad line off subsidy. The Commission announced last week that subsidy would be cut to a 24-mile stretch of the KBE line that serviced Hastings, Mid­ dleville, Nashville and Vermontville. Service will continue on the remaining 18-mile stretch of the KBE line from Grand Rapids to Caledonia. Last week’s action was another step in development of a state “rail rationalization” plan that will determine which currently unprofitable lines are most important to Michigan commerce and industry, and should share in dwindling state ap­ propriations for rail subsidy, The State Department of Transportation reported. Mary Lou Gray, a member of the Hastings City Council said Monday, that the subsidy is a temporary assistance over financial hard times and should not ever come to be a permanent or expected thing. Gray testified against continuation of the KBE subsidy at the February DOT public meeting in Hastings. "The costs have escalated so greatly to allow a subsidy of tiat magnitude for so few­ users,” she said Monday. “I think it (the money) could be put to better use. Everybody's going to have to pay their way. Subsidies are going to go out the window fast." Gray said she has a bad feeling about subsidies, noting that the government has subsidized rail firms for years. “When a trucking company fails, they have to be on their own," she said. “Nobody subsidizes them." Gray added that trucking companies-pay high revenues to states to help support high way systems. On the opposite side, Hastings Mayor Kenneth J. Howe said that he hopes the financial position of the state improves so that service at some time may be re­ established along the line. Howe had spoken in favor of continuing the subsidy at the Hastings DOT hearing. “Knowing what the state's financial pic­ ture is,” Howe said, I’m not surprised the subsidy was reduced. 1 am surprised that it was not completely eliminated.” Howe said that the need for rail service to communities is being shown by the state's decision to allow KBE to operate part of the line. "Certainly it would be in our community interest in the years ahead to have the availability of an alternative mode of transporation to serve our industry and commerce," Howe said. "(Cutting the subsidy) is not going to give the community that extra breath that all communities need today." One of the area’s major KBE Railway users, Citirens Elevator in Vermontville, said that loss of the service will definitely hurt their business. "We will have to put more ‘semis’ on the road,” Ann Schantz, general office clerk at the elevator, said. “We just purchased another semi with the idea that the railroad was going to be gone.” Schantz said that it takes 3Mt truckloads to equal one rail carload of grain. The biggest difference for the company will be in the price available for grain sold. Rail cars of grain were shipped to the East Coast when higher prices were available instead of being sold to markets in Toledo and Maumee, Ohio. "It’s definitely cheaper to go by rail when we can get the price in the East,” Schantz explained. She said 25 to 30 carloads were shipped to the East, last year, where they could normally get a belter price. “It’s too far to truck to the East ef­ ficiently,” she noted. James Wiswell, president of Barry County Lumber Co. in Hastings and a longtime railroad supporter, said that one of the reasons costs of running the KBE Railway were so high was that the state was paying too much to lease the line from the bankrupt Penn Central Railroad. "It’s got to be more economical to ship by rail over a long distance than by truck,” Wiswell said. “If it’s not economical now, it will be in the future. The Stale of Michigan should not give up this rail corridor and pull up the tracks. Someday we're going to want it." Wiswell said that the state made a mistake when it allowed the tracks to be pulled up from Vermontville to Charlotte. Without that connection, he said, KBE was unable to make a direct connection for Grand Rapids shippers to the Grand Trunk Railroad line in Charlotte. Reacting to the cut of over half of their line the KBE Board of Directors met over the weekend and layed off all seven employees of the subsidized, monority owned railway that used to service from Vermontville to Grand Rapids. Nate Pierce, the vice-president of KBE said the seven employees are on a call back basis, and they will be brought in as needed to handle train movements. "Farmers are not shipping because the grain prices are up,” Pierce said. “They are storing it in silos, and on top of that the state says they are out of money.” "They decided that that part of the line (Caledonia to Vermontville) was not bringing in enough revenue,” Pierce added. "They saw fit to cut it and we had no choice but to let everyone go. ' Pierce said the KBE line is down to one run a week and he will take over the paper work and answering of phones. "We couldn’t pay all of them to sit around," he said. "We kept them here as long as we could.” "Maybe in a few months things will pick up and we can bring some back to work." Pierce said the KBE moved over 400 cars last year. Prior to January the KBE received around $45,000 a month in subsidy, given in two month payments of $89,394, the DOT reported. That was cut by 10 percent in a vote by the Commiss'on on Jan. 27, and covered the entire line. The Legislature has indicated it will phase out the entire subsidy program in five years. There are currently eight rail freight ser­ vices in Michigan that receive subsidy All but three of them have suffered subsidy cuts similar to KBE’s.

Do you think your latest property assessment as a fair estimate of its market value? If not, do you think it would be worth your effort to appeal it? To the Editor: Glenn Miller 7000 Irving Rd., Hastings Retired Barbara Benner 1005 N. Michigan, Hastings Beautician Ken Adams 528 W. State St., Hastings Retired The community o( Middleville and the Thornapple Kellogg School System has won another gold star from the wrestlers, coaches and fans at the Class C State Wrestling Tournament. Every person involved in running of the tournament has a lot to be proud of. It is impossible to list every person who worked to make the tournament the outstanding success it was, but I would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their hard work over the past weeks. Friday and Saturday were filled with nothing but pleasure for me as 1 received compliment after compliment from coaches, wrestlers, and fans on the high quality of the tournament. Comments ranged from the politeness and efficiency of the people at the ticket area and cafeteria, to the neatness and /enthusiasm the students dressed in red and w-hite shirts showed, as they lined the wall to cheer for Marty Sinke in the 105 pound finals I received compliments for every phase of the tournament, from the neatness of the facilities and the efficiency that it takes to run the statement from Norm Provert, a retired coach from Charlevoix and past president of ihe Michigan Coaches Association, "In my tw’enty years of coaching, this is the best tournament I've ever been to." In closing, I would like to thank everyone who made my past weekend such a pleasure. You continue to give me reasons to be proud to live in Middleville and teach in the T K System. Thank you again, Tom Lehman Wrestling Coach To the Editor: Charles Adams 512 W. Grand, Hastings Bradford White employee David Dimmers 1010 W. Green, Hastings Attorney by Liz Kingsbury Of the people interviewed, Tuesday morning, almost everyone agreed that the property assessment did not reflect the market value. Most felt that appealing it was an exercise in futility. "You have to go along with the way city hall runs everything,” said Glenn Miller. 7000 Irving Rd., whc is retired. "It’s hard to fight the legal system." Barbara Benner, a beautician who lives at 1005 N. Michigan said, "I don’t think we could get the market value out of it if we were to sell it tomorrow. If we went to appeal it, it wouldn’t do any good.” ”1 also think that the millage won’t pass.” Benner added. "The people are hit with assessments and then you hit them with a millage. I think the property owners won’t go for it.” Doug Vickery, a Hastings realtor, said, " On this particular property assessment, we’re going to appeal it We appealed once before (for another piece of property) and they said it was market value.” Vickery added, although the assessors didn’t lower the assessment figure, that year, they didn’t raise the figure the following year. Cheese, cont. from page 1 dinator for the Community Action Agency of Southcentral Michigan. They will receive cheese if more is earmarked for distribution in the future. However, she said she does not know if the federal government will be releasing mere surplus cheese. "There is no more cheese in the county now." she said. Overall, Mrs. Clements said the distribution in the county was a success because many unemployed and elderly persons were able to receive tne cheese. “This was more or less a pilot program for Hastings David Dimmers, a Hastings attorney, said, "I was surprised to find the property assessment went up when it was my un­ derstanding that the property value in Michigan is dropping. The assumption is that this is merely done to supplement the income of the employees of the state of Michigan.” "Also, it dosen't seem very appropriate for ti e number of workers unemployed in this state to face an increase in taxes at a time when they ’re just trying to exist," he added. “Therefore, 1 would hope that the taxation officials would take a fair and more realistic view of what’s happening in Michigan rather than make a blanket assessment. "I don’t think the assessment is ap­ propriate for fair market value at this time. I feel that appealing is, unfortunately, a wasted effort because of the attitude of the people on the state tax commission.” Dave Davisson, a data processing con­ sultant who moved to Hastings a few months ago. said,"I think so. I’m not that familiar with how the taxes have grown. I can't be too great a critic of where they are now.” Lawrence Hecker, a Felpausch employee from Rutland Township, said,"I feel that it’s fair. As long as I can pay them. I’m alright. You get what you pay for.” “In Rutland Township, I think it’s in line,’’ Hecker added. "As far as my own personal tax. I have no gripes." She said that if the federal government authorizes another distribution, more sites will be included in the county’s disbursement program, especially in the areas of Orangeville and Middleville. In addition to the Seventh Day Adventist site, cheese also was distributed through Head-Start, social services, and the senior citizen nutrition sites. The cheese supplies distributed at the Delton St. Ambrose church and by the Nash ville Methodists were depleted rapidly. Other busy sites were the Prairieville Township Hall and the Maple Valley Arms office in Nashville. Timothy Knowlton, executive director of the CAASCM. acknowledged to the Barry County Board of Commissioners Tuesday that his agency had a hard time meeting public needs in distributing the cheese, but attributed it to lack of experience.

Lawrence Hecker 1310 Waukazoo, Rutland Twp. Felpausch Employee The assessment that he tried to appeal was on seven acres of valley properly, assessed at $7,000. Vickery had tried to sell the property and said that he couldn’t sell it for even $2,000 less than that price. He said that the assessors could send him a buyer — in fact he’d sell the property to them. “How can they justify that the valuation of property is high when prices of properties are going down?” Vickery asked. "They aren't linking taxes with property value anymore. They are linking them to what the past taxes are. Now they don’t have a leg to stand on." “No. No way," 'Ken Adams, a Hastings retiree said to the question on whether the assessment reflects the market value of the property. Asked whether he felt it was worth it to appeal, he said. "No. because they won’t do anything about it." He added that the schools are getting extra millage from the property valuation, even­ though they say that they aren’t getting enough. "Do I feel my assessments are fair?” asked Charles Adams, 512 W. Grand, who works for Bradford White. "No, but what are you going to do about it? If you live on the $800 block, you get $800, if you live on the $400 block, you get $400.” Banner Send Form P S. 3579 toP.O. Box B Dave Davisson 420 E. Bond, Hastings Consultant J-Ad Graphics, Inc.

His host of friends and relatives in the Woodland area were shocked and grieved as word spread rapidly over the weekend of the sudden death of Gaylord Flory on Friday evening, March 5, at his home in the Bronx. N.Y. As far as is known here, Mr. Flory was in his usual good health but suffered a massive heart attack late that day and passed away about 11 p.m. Gaylord, who was 62, was bom in Woodland on Dec. 2, 1919, the son of Perry and Bertha (Niethamer) Flory. He attended school in Woodland and graduated from high school in 1937. He was blessed with a great amount of artistic talent and developed that by attending several schools of art, including some in Detroit and New York City. Later he became well-known for his work and had put on several exhibits of his portraits and scenery. His father died when Gaylord was just a young man and he had faithfully aided his mother in his father’s care during a long illness following a severe stroke. At the time of his death and for a long time, he was head of the art department at Riverside School in the Bronx. He served in World War II and lost a leg in that encounter. His busy life prohibited his visits back to the home town as often as he would have wished but he kept in close touch with his mother until the time of her death. He and his brother, Verdan, were in Woodland at the time of the 90th birthday of their mother in 1979 and again at the time of her death on Feb. 5, 1981. Funeral services for Mr. Flory were held at 7 p.m. on Monday. March 8,1982 from the Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, the Bronx, and burial took place at a cemetery on Long Island.

The Barry County chapter of-the American Red Cross has come through with emergency disaster assistance funds and action to help victims of the flaming ex­ plosion on M-43. Friday. Dennis Munson, chairman of tl.e board of the local Red Cross chapter, said Monday that the Red Cross has given the surviving victims over $1,000 and helped them to find places to stay. Killed in the explosion that remains under investigation by the State Fire Marshal, was Derick Edward Allen, son of Douglas and Michelle Allep. He was pulled out of the rubble by members of the BarryPrairieville-Hope Township Fire Depart­ ment, and pronounced dead at the scene by Barry County Coroner Dr. James Hogan of Delton. Thomas Griffen. 23, was listed in critical condition, and Debra Fisher. 25, was listed in serious condition at Bronson Methodist Hospital Burn Unit in Kalamazoo, Wed­ nesday morning. Douglas Allen, the father of the child that was killed, was treated and released at Bronson for minor burns on Friday, the morning of the blast. Griffen suffered second and third degree burns over 45 percent of his body including his arms, hands and chest. Ms. Fisher has a back injury, along with burns over eight percent of her body, primarily her arms and legs. Funeral services for the Allen boy were held Monday at Langeland Memorial Chapel in Kalamazoo. Munson said the Red Cross met with the survivors of the blast at 11:15 a.m. Friday, and started helping them to find places to stay and contact relatives. Investigators from the State Fire Marshall office and from local police agencies said at the scene that the explosion apparently occured when the seven unit building filled with gas after pilot lights went out in the propane heating system. What kicked off the blast is still under investigation. The Barry County Sheriff’s Department said Wed­ nesday, they are still waiting for final results from the State Fire Marshal’s office in Lansing The 4(Fyear-old building called Brown’s Inn was known for several years as the Delton Motel. The one story wood frame structure was located in the 600 block of A mattm* and who* u»»d to b« a chair landed In a neighbor s yard about 50 feet away. Grove Street (M-43), south of Delton's main intersection. Police reports and witnesses reveal that eight people were living in the building. The force of the blast sent debris flying as far as 400 feet and caused damage to other houses in the area. Toys household furnishings, record albums and cloths were scattered and some landed in nearby trees. Glenna Simonovic, 717 Grove, the owner of a home in a lot adjacent to the apartment .building was the first to call police. The firefighters were the first on the scene followed by State Police from Hastings, Barry County Sheriff’s Deputies, and Township Police from Barry and Prairieville. “The explosion knocked me right out of bed right on my feet,” Mrs. Simonovic said. “I wasn't sure why I was standing there. My daughter came running in my room because she had been hit in the head by a picture or something." “Al first I thought it might be our furnace that had blown up or maybe an earthquake, but then my daughter heard someone screaming," she said. "I went to the door and there was a man in his undershorts holding a child, and bleeding and everything. And of course he was hysterical.” Mrs. Simonovic said she asked him what happened and he blurted, "The motel just blew up, there’s nothing left.” “By the time I got him inside, a girl and another kid that lived over there came over,” Mrs. Simonovic said. "When I finally got outside io look there were television sets and doors and things all over the place." “I’m just thankful my daughter and me are still alive," she said. ‘‘I’ve never seen anything like it, and I hope I never have to see something like that again.” Mrs. Simonovic said damage to her garage Barry County Sheriff’s Deputies search through the scene about nine hours after the blast occured. Neighbor, Glenno Simonovic. was estimated at $1,800 and that doesn’t include the damage to the rest of the house. Every room has cracks in the walls and ceiling. Wallhangings, pictures and planters were also damaged from falling because of the explosion. “I guess you couldsay we are victims too," Mrs. Simonovic said. "But I feel the most for that baby. Nothing can replace that baby being lost." Vem DeWitt and Shari Norris, neighbors on the other side of the apartment building and collectors of rent for the owners Robert and Jan Branch of Vicksburg, said Douglas Allen came to their door and said he could smell gas around 12:30 a.m. Forty-one area people honor list at Kellogg Community College Forty-one area people have been named to the honor list at Kellogg Community College, in Battle Creek for the 1981 fall semester.

Gordon, Jerie, Kim, Jim Mark and Mike DeWitt said he went in and turned off his stove and heater which both had "real yellow" flames, and then went outside. "As soon as I got outside 1 could smell gas real strong, ’ DeWitt said. He and Allen then went to the apartment units and told everyone to turn off their gas because each unit had a turn off valve, DeWitt said. "Then I went around back to turn off the mair. valve at the tank behind our house," DeWitt added. "Just about the time I grabbed the valve handle, the place blew up." After checking on his family, DeWitt said he went outside to help find people. "I heard Tom (Griffen) talking under part of the roof and me and about six people that just showed up out of nowhere worked at lifting it up,” DeWitt said. "Tom and Deb both crawled out and by that time firemen were coming up and people were running and screaming all over the place.” An article published in the Kalamazoo Gazette the day after the blast said that Branch, the owner, said a release valve on a propane tank had been leaking sometime early last fall and officials of the Great Plains Gas Co., in Battle Creek checked it over. They were supposed to return to do more work, he said, but never did. the Gazette reported. School millage is subject of open chamber meeting March 16 Officials from Hastings Public Schools will present a program on the proposed millage increase at the open meeting of the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce, Tuesday, Mar. 16 at noon at the Hastings Elks Temple. Hastings voters will face a request for a 5.3 mill tax increase and an exemption from the Headlee Ammendment at an April 26 elec­ tion. In announcing the meeting, the Chamber said that in the past year the group has held open forum meetings involving all facets of the community, both public and private. “The purpose for these meetings is to provide a means for business and industry to express their ideas and concerns for the business community," Joan Foster, executive director, said. Open meetings were held in the beginning for business and industry to discuss common problems. State representatives were invited to talk about economic legislation having local effects. This led the Chamber to help form an economic development steering committee with representatives from the county Board of Commissioners, the Hastings City Council and the Chamber. “Time should be provided for individuals from business and industry to have an op­ portunity to discuss more specifically their ideas affecting our business climate locally and people from private institutions should have the same opportunity," Foster said. “For that reason, a representative from the Hastings Public Schools will be in attendance at the next open meeting to discuss financial concerns of the school system."

A resolution supporting a state group’s efforts to make recommendations to im­ prove the Clean Water Act with a greater emphasis on local government control was adopted Monday night by the Hastings City Council. The state group, called the Michigan Coalition for Clean Water, is recommending 17 changes which retain the basic framework of the act and incorporates the protection of human health and water resources, while redirecting the unrealistic goals and timetables of the act with an emphasis on cost-effective measures. Bill Ransom, superintendent of waste water treatment for the city of Hastings, said today that he is in agreem mt with the efforts of the coalition because its proposals stress "using a mure realistic approach in the standards and limitations while protecting our environment and clean water. Mike Klovanich, city director of public services, told the council that the coalition is comprised of a group of concerned manufacturing companies, utilities, associations, municipalities and individuals who have been woricing together to develop a common set of suggestions for improving the clean water act. He said the recommendations of the coalition include deleting from the act the national goal that the discharge of pollutants into navigable waters be eliminated by 1985; and clarifying pre-treatment requirements. The coalition recommends amending the act to require establishment of general pre­ treatment levels that are to be used by publicly owned treatment works as guidelines and not as standards. The authority to establish specific pre­ treatment regulations and sludge use and disposal should be delegated to the local agency because national standards are not economically or environmentally justified, according to a statement from the coalition. Ransom told the council that he agrees that "guidelines should go by comrtiunity to community instead of taking EPA (En­ vironmental Protection Agency).’’ He also said that the guidelines recommended by the coalition would still maintain quality programs without excessive increased costs. Besides Hastings, supporters of the coalition's recommendations, to date, in­ Dads learn the Humpty Dumpty way....

Initial hearings within various sub­ committees of Congress are expected to begin in mid-March and the coalition's ob­ jective is to be prepared to convey its views to the Michigan Delegation, EPA officials and officiate within the administration by that time. In other business, the council approved the purchase of a 1979 Buick Skylark from Frantz Buick & Chevrolet, Inc. of Hastings for use by Hastings City Police Chief Mark G. Steinfort. The price for the car is $2,045 after allowing for a $2,000 trade-in for a 1977 Ford Thunderbird the chief has been driving. Councilman Gordon Bennett said the pur­ chase was necessary because of the high mileage on the Thunderbird. The V-6 Skylark a’so will get better gas mileage, he noted. The council also approved the low bid of $1,227.60 from Radio Shack of Kalamazoo to convert the Hastings City Police computer from a tape system to a disk unit system. The expense had previously been budgeted. Bennett said the disk system would be better because it will be "handier and quicker." The tape system posed problems with speed and by losing information at times, he said. A $5,618 bid from the Coleman Insurance Agency of Hastings was accepted for um­ brella insurance over and above basic coverage of liability for negligence. It was noted that Coleman had provided the coverage for the previous year and the cost was down from $6,500. The lowest bid received was $4,500 from the Slack Agency of Hastings, however, it was rejected because of numerous exclusions. Hastings Wrecker Service was awarded a one-year contract to provide wrecker ser­ vice. It was the only bid received and in­ cluded a $15 per call charge within the city limits and $1 per loaded mile. The council also approved bills of $11,077.50 from Davey Tree Experts Co. of Kent, Ohio for tree trimming; $4,435 to Hough Bros. Inc. of Sunfield for repairing a street sweeper; and $1,357.54 to Duthler Ford Truck of Grand Rapids for repair parts used by the city garage. �The Hastings Banner - Thursday, March 11,1982 - Page 5 ^Id^eddingi andddng age mentis Girl Scouts celebrate birthday of scouting The six members of Girl Scout Troop 290 gathered at the home of their trnop leader and wished scouting a .happy birthday, Monday afternoon Troop leader Pat Elliott, 420 W. Walnut hosted the party observing the 70th an­ niversary of the founding of scouting. Mrs. Elliott and Far North Neighborhood Chairman Lin Hough led the troop in five games. Prizes awaited the winner of each game. In the first game the girls were to write where they wanted to be, what they wanted to be doing and who they wanted to do the activity with. The most popular place was Europe, the most popular activity was swimming and the most popular companion was singer and actor Rick Springfield. The troop played a quiet version of musical chairs in which they passed numbered cards instead of marching around a row of chairs. Things became a little less quiet when the troop had a peanut pushing race across the Wymers to observe 31st anniversary Armstrong - Clark to be united Curtis - Smith engagement told Mr. and Mrs. Philip Armstrong are pleased to announce the engagement of their daughter.

The organization represents some 7,000 Michigan foster families, who serve some 11,000 foster children. The text of the declaration follows: "Due to stress, crisis and breakup of today's families, more than 11,000 Michigan children are not living with ’heir own parents. "Michigan is fortunate to have more than 7,000 foster families who are willing to share their homes, their families and frequently/ their resources with foster children. "Michigan has a policy directed toward reunification of children with their own families if at all possible. We must pursue this goal vigorously ahd strive to guarantee to all children outside their own homes: visitation privileges with parents, brothers and sisters; supportive services to parents and foster family; permanent homes. "Therefore, I, William G. Milliken, Governor of the State of Michigan, do hereby declare March 7-13,1982 as Michigan Foster Child and Family Week, and call upon the Legislature, the Department of Social Services and other state agencies, public and private organizations, and all residents of the state to dedicate their energies and talents to advocating such policies, practices and programs."

Books were so deeply interwoven into their meeting that these ladies established our Barry County Public Library, and had the librarian as an officer on their board. Today’s Women's Club has evolved into a group, still meeting once a month, but coming together to hear a speaker or enjoy some entertainment followed by tea or luncheon. However, that's not all the Hastings Women’s Club does. In the months they meet, October through April, they host various fund raising activities to raise monies for camping scholarships and their service activities. This group helped form the Barry County Senior Citizens Club and yearly celebrates with an appropriate party. At Christmas, they plan a celebration complete with gifts at the Barry County Medical Care Facility. These are but a few of the many service works carried on by the club. s According to Vice President Ruth Miller, members are welcomed anytime, however, a membership drive takes place prior to the October tea which is given in their honor. Mrs. Miller invites anyone interested in joining and particularly newly married ladies to contact either herself or any member of the Women's Club.

WJAnniversary Social Services, juvenile court thank foster homes In keeping with the recently declared Michigan Foster Child and Family Week, the Barry County Department of Social Ser­ vices, in conjunction with the the county juvenile court, is sending thanks out to local foster homes. "We're sending out letters to all of our faster homes and families thanking them for their participation,” said Laurie Pettengill of the DSS. "We're sending out certificates of awards to homes that have been licensed over five years and specific awards for services above and beyond the call of duty." The three categories of special awards nclude one for the home which has been licensed for the longest period of time, one for the home that has been receiving all kinds of foster children and helping out in emergencies and one for the foster home that has done the most with birth families. Birth families are the natural parents of foster children, Pettengill said. Pettengill added that her department hadn't yet received the names of the homes to be awarded. Gov. William G. Milliken has declared March 7-13, 1982 as Michigan Foster Child and Family Week. Lt. Gov. James H. Brickley presnted Milliken's declaration in State Capitol ceremonies today to Mary Ball Hodges, livingroom floor. The girls played a game like bingo, and unscrambled phrases that had p Girl Scout theme, such as “a Girl Scout likes to be outdoors." There were many cryptologists in the troop as there was more than one winner for the unscrambling game. Everyone then gathered in the kitchen and sang happy birthday to scouting over a chocolate cake with green frosting lit up with candles. Under each girl's plate, there was a number that corresponded to the number of a homemade gift, brought by each troop member. Gifts were exchanged and the girls enjoyed homemade seaf oam and peanut butter fudge in addition to the ether goodies. Scouts present were Shanon Swihart, Tina Elliott, daughter of the troop leader, Molly Anderson, Tami Benner, Lori Hough, Lin's daughter and Tracy Paiilauski. Corner of W.

Council adjourned ot 7:50 Economists talks to Rotarians Six real needs of Reaganomics Area formers joined members of the Hostings Rotary Club for Monday's speech by econrmist Marvin DeVries. (Banner photos) Read and approved. Kenneth J. Howe. Mayor Donna J. Kinney, City Clerk (3-11) negative growth in 1980; inflation at 2.4 percent in 1968 but at 13.5 percent in 1980. DeVries joked that inflation isn’t all bad because'its allowed us to live in more ex­ pensive homes without having to move. The economist said that Reagan wants to slow down spending — the federal deficit was $4 billion in 1968, $59.6 billion in 1980, and estimated at $90 billion to $120 billion this year. “It doesn't look like he’s going to sell his budget to Congress unless he backs off on defense spending....” DeVries said. "Congress isn't ready to cut social programs and increase the defense budget when many people feel the programs are necessary due to the recession." He said that Reagan must encourage savings and investments, while building incentives and the importance of hard work. DeVries said that if Reagan can slow down the growth rate of government, reduce the need to borrow and spur investment, which will lower the interest rates, hopefully businvss expansion will gradually start to increase and put the ratio of total capital and total labor on an increase. He pointed to over regulation of business as another problem. The cost of compliance with regulations in 1981 was $126 billion, he said, which adds to inflation and reduces industry's investments in buildings and equipment.

MLADENOFF Attorneys for Plaintiff 518 Michigan National Bonk Battle Creek, Michigan 49017 Telephone: (616) 968-6622 Speaking to the Hastings Rotary Club. Monday. Grand Rapids economist Marvin DeVries outlined six things he believes need to be done by the Reagan administration to make its economic program work. DeVries was speaking to the annual RuralUrban Day of the club, where Rotarians invite area farmers to join them for the noon meeting at the Hastings Moose Lodge. DeVries said that Reagan s first priority should be to reduce the federal deficit because the stock market is watching the 'Government’s borrowing habits, which are making business borrowing impossible. The economist, who in addition to serving as a department chairman at Grand Valley State Colleges in Allendale also sits on the boards of directors of several firms and serves as a corporate consultant, said that Reagan must continue to increase savings and hold down inflation. "He must keep military spending in line and allow a controlled growth plan over many years," DeVries advised. He also said that the administration must work in cooperation with the Federal Reserve Board to allow’ its tight money policy to be relaxed over the balance of this year. “I don’t feel you’ll see much improvement nationally for at least six months and for Michigan over a year.” DeVries predicted. "However, if we work together, realize our problems and know where we’re going, in time we can overcome the problems we now have and get this economy on the right road again.” DeVries explained that most government Grand Rapids Economist Marvin DeVries expenditures are for national defense and for domestic purposes such as education, health and social insurance benefits. Social Security payments alone account for nearly 50 percent of the Federal budget, he said. He said that the U.S. budget is nearly 110 times larger today than in 1900. allowing for price changes. In the late 1970’s, he con­ tinued, the national budget was more than $450 billion a year and amounted to more than 20 percent of the country's GNP (gross national product). “Federal spending has been increasing at an alarming rate in relation to the GNP.'' he said. IN 1968, the budget was 19 percent of the GNP; in 1980 it was 23 percent. DeVries pointed out that due to a gradual increase in interest rates and the high cost of doing business, many companies have put off plant expansions, equipment purchases and plant modernization plans. "In that the federal government has had to borrow more and more money each year, there's been less money left for individual borrowing, meaning less expansion and higher unemployment.”-he said. DeVries compared 1968 statistics to recent economic figures: showing unemployment at 4.4 percent in 1968, seven percent in 1980 and 8.8 percent and rising today; productivity rising 3.3 percent in 1968, but having a .Attending Hastings Rotary Club's RuralUrban Day.

"I make sure that my officers provide for the safety, custody and security of all per­ sons incarcerated here,” said Daniel Dipert, Barry County Jail administrator, of his duties. "When a person comes to jail here, hopefully the person will leave no worse off than when they came in and hopefully better. I think by running a constitutional jail, that can happen." "There haven't been any civil litigations dawsuits) against the jail,” Dipert said, Knocking on wood. "You have to give a lot of credit to Sheriff Wood. He’s very familiar with the Harvey Decision (the 1978 Federal District Court decision involving the im­ provement of prison conditions) and we do abide by it." The jail itself holds a maximum of 46 people. Of the 46 capacity, the jail holds a maximum of three women and 10 work release cases. Work release cases, people who are required by a judge to work outside of prison during the day and stay in the jail, are segregated from the other prisoners. “Work release people don't mix with general population residents — period,” Dipert said. The main reason for the separation is to prevent smuggling weapons and alcohol by work release people, Dipert explained. . “They have access to things on the outside that these people (inmates) do not,” he said, "but they are checked by an officer when they come in." “People in the jail are envious of people on work release and they are always trying to find ways to get on it," Dipert added, citing another reason for the separation, "but again, (work release assignments are) up to the judge." The security of the work release assign­ ments are not guaranteed. “Work release people have a set of rules to *225 taken from tills at Bosley’s Pharmacy The pharmacist at Bosley's Pharmacy, 118 S. Jefferson, told Hastings Police that $225 was taken from the tills of two cash registers, Saturday. Investigation showed that entry had been gained by kicking out one of the glass panels in the west door, deputy police chief, Gordon Trick said. Officer Albert Stanton, of the Hastings Police Department, also found a pil* jwcase full of perscription drugs lying on the floor, by the west window. Trick said the department is not sure uhether the burglars got scared and and left the pillowcase behind or if they left it by the window to pick up later. The case remains under investigation. Other area law enforcement agendes report the following accidents: — Three people were hospitalized after the car of a Charlotte man rear-ended the car of a Nashville woman, Sunday, on M 43 and Usbome Rd., according to Hastings state troopers. Gloria Jean Jackson, 35, 11121 Nashville Highway, Clarksville and her passenger, Angela Marie Frederick, 13,- of the same address were treated and released at Pennock Hospital. Ricky Lee Masters, 23, 323 Pearl St., Charlotte, the driver of the other car, was also treated and released trom Pennock Hospital. Jackson was stopped in the right lane of M-43, with the left turn signal on, waiting for traffic to clear, when Masters rear-ended her car, the report said. Masters told troopers that he didn’t remember seeing Jackson’s car. Masters was issued a ticket for careless driving. — A Middleville man was injured after he lost control of his vehicle on W. State Road, March 4, according to the Barry County Sheriff Department. Loyd Conard, 46, 6475 W. State Rd., was admitted to Pennock Hospital and has since been released. Conard was west bound on W. State Road when the vehicle slid across the road, spun around and rolled over after hitting a snowbank, deputies said. Conard told deputies that the vehicle had been worked on and he did not think the front end was aligned correctly. — A Grand Rapids boy was injured when his foot became entangled in the wheel of a snowmobile, on his grandfather’s property, 3837 Lawrence Rd. in Maple Grove Town­ ship, Feb. 28. Larry Ovid Price. 12,5309 Mick SE, Grand Rapids, was treated and released at Pennock Hospital. His cousin Robin Price, 15, 277 Kalamazoo St., Woodbury, who was driving the machine, was not injured, according to the Barry County Sheriff Depr-rtment. Larry told deputies that he and his cousin were riding the snowmobile when it started to tip over. He put his foot down to right the machine, the report said. When the machine straightened up, his foot became entangled in the rear wheel and sprockets. Delton man found not guilty of murder Dionicio O. Trevino, 38, 6255 Rose Rd., Delton, was found not guilty of murder in connection with the fatal shooting of a Galesburg man. Trevino was tried in Barry-Eaton Circuit Court on an open charge of murder before a jury that unanimously found him not guilty, Friday, after four and a half hours of deliberation. Trevino had turned himself in after he allegedly shot James Arlo Martin, 41, Lot 442, E. Michigan, Galesburg, in the back, Nov. 10, during a family dispute at his home. Deputies said that Martin, a former husband of Trevino’s wife, and another family member went to Trevino’s residence and an argument ensued. Martin was asked to leave and as he was leaving suffered a fatal 12 guage shotgun wound to his back, deputies said. Trevino turned himself in at the Barry County Courthouse in the company of his lawyer, Joe Jerkins of Kalamazoo. Trevino was charged with open count murder, in which the jury has a choice among all degrees, said Barry County Prosecutor Judy Hughes. “With open count murder, the prosecutor does not have to determine premeditation at the preliminary exam," Hughes explained. Trevino’s pre-trial took place Dec. 23,1981 before Barry-Eaton Circuit Judge Richard Robinson. Trevino's trial lasted for four days and not all of the witnesses were allowed to testify, according to Hughes. "The judge did not allow the testimony of Trevino’s ex-wife," Hughes said. “He ruled that the testimony was privileged. ’ Judge Robinson said that state law mandates that a wife cannot testify against her husband (and vice versa) unless under extreme circumstances.

"If you don’t abide by them, you can lose work release privilege.” He said that absenteeism and drinking on the job are two common reasons for revoking work release privileges. “If you can't pass go, you go to jail." Dipert said. In addition to rules of conduct, telephone use and security restrictions, there are many activities provided for the jail residents In the all purpose room, prisoners can take classes for their high school diplomas or equivalency tests (GEDs), go to Bible studies, attend Alchoholics Anonymous sessions and work out in the gym. Sandra Pattock teaches GED and high school diploma classes, offered through adult education. On Sunday, church services are held in the all purpose room. The room also serves as a commissary, an office for the jail administrator and if the prisoner qualifies, a meeting place for contact visitors. A contact visitop is a Derson who can have physical contact with the prisoner. The room also serves as an office for Dipert’s secretary, Carolyn Casey. In ad­ dition to secretarial duties, she screens visitors with a metal detector and has them sign a log book. The other needs of the prisoners such as food, minor medical care and counseling are met by the prison staff. Two staff cooks, Alice Thomas and Hah Englerth, prepare the meals for the prisoners. All 10 corrections officers are required to know CPR and basic first aid, according to Dipert. "If you have untrained officers, you have problems,” Dipert said.

Dipert has worked for the Barry County Jail since the suit mer of 1975. A few months earlier, Dipert started working as a dispatcher for the Barry County Sheriff Department. The sheriff had asked if any of the employees wanted to work in corrections. Dipert and then Corporal Kenneth DeMott volunteered. During that summer, Dipert and DeMott went through in-service training at the Kalamazoo County Sheriff Depart­ ment. From mid-1975 to 1978, DeMott was jail administrator and Dipert was his assistant. In 1978, DeMott went into the detective bureau and Dipert took over as jail ad­ ministrator. The position of assistant jail administrator was never filled. Dipert has held a variety of jobs before working for the county. He is a 1970 graduate of Maple Valley High School. “All other experience I have is right here in the department,” he said. His wife, Dianne, works in accounts payable at ProLine. They live at 321 W. Walnut St. and they have three daughters. Dipert enjoys any kind of sport that he can afford and he likes the outdoors.

The public is invited to attend Wed­ nesday's party , The equalization committee of the Barry County Board of Commissioners today (Thursday) was scheduled to meet with two representatives of the Michigan Tax Com­ mission to review the proposed agricultural assessments that local farmers label as unfair and too high. Commissioners Richard Landon, Walt Soya, and Jack Love, who serve on the equalization committee, were to meet with state tax commissioners Gene Hall and Lou Fox to review sales of agricultural land in the county to decide whether the proposed two percent increase is fair. At last Tuesday’s meeting of the county board. Hall and Fox spoke to commissioners about equalization and how they arrived at an equalized value by increasing agricultural land by two percent "We are way off course in our assessments today," said William Aukerman, a farmer and trustee on the Prairieville Township Board. "We’re asking for the support of this board." Aukerman was one of 18 county farmers who were in the audience at Tuesday’s board meeting. Clare Lyons, also of Prairieville and a veteran farmer of 41 years, asked, "How can you expec* us to provide food al economical prices? tir. view of increased taxes)" As an example of the already high cost of farm production. Lyons said the operating cost of a bushel of com is $2.30 not including taxes. That price is about what he can expect to make when he sells corn. In other business. Commissioner Landon informed the. board that four candidates were to be interviewed Wednesday for the level three position of county equalization director The county board voted unanimously to give the equalization com­ mittee the power to act on setting the salary for whoever is chosen as the new equalization director. The equalization committee is a sub committee under central services. The board voted 9-1 in favor of adopting a resolution supporting the Michigan Association of Counties position that state and local governments should make a joint effort to work together to distribute block grants. Ann Lined, a human services specialist from MAC, spoke to the board about the grants and asked them to support MAC'S position. Soya voted against ’he resolution. Commissioner Richard Paul Dean was absent. Approval was given to renew a contract with Sylvia Dulaney to work as a private consultant to the county solid waste planning committee. The contract provides for her to receive a fee of $16 per hour with a maximum of 80 hours to be completed by May 5. She also will receive business-related mileage reimbursement of 23 cents per mile. Ms. Dulaney has just completed a previous 80-hour contract at the same rate. She is the former county grants coordinator and was a member of the solid waste committee. Her position was terminated because of budget cuts. The board felt that because of her prior experience with the committee it would be financially sound to keep her on as a private consultant. Kensinger Jones, chairmap of the park commission, and Frank Walsh, director of Charlton Park, presented Charlton Park's annual report to the board. Jones said, "The park is for people,” and noted that it had served 100.000 people in 1981 and generated $47,000 from five special events. Four additional special events will be added to the park's calendar this year in an effort to generate more funds and serve the people. The new events include a hot air balloon show, an antique fire apparatus show, a country western music show, and street rods (altered antiques) show. Jones also informed the board that a public hearing will be held on the question of zoning for the proposed campground at the park at 7:30 p.m. March 22 in the county com­ missioners' room. Carla Donk, director of Barry County Substance Abuse Services, asked com­ missioners to approve a contract between the state and that agency as well as between the County agency and the coordination agency in Kalamazoo. The contract is identical to the one approved for the last five years except for $5,000 from the state which will allow the county agency to go through accreditation in order to accept third party payments from insurance companies. The county board said it will decide on an appointment to the local Commission on Aging board at its March 23 meeting. Patrick Vaughn of Hastings, whose term is expiring, has been renominated to the position. After failure...after failure... Gull Lake sewer bonds “SOLD” After two failures, Barry County was successful in finding a buyer for the $550,000 bond issue for its portion of the Gull Lake Sewer Project in Barry and Prairieville townships. During unscheduled negotiations, the lowbid of John Nuveen and Co. of Chicago at an interest rate of 12.997 percent was accepted last Thursday, said Audrey Burdick, county drain commissioner who also serves as secretary-director of the county Department of Public Works. The paypack period is from 1983-2001. Mrs. Burdick said that Kalamazoo County had sold its $4.5 million bond issue to Nuveen last week too Kalamazoo had received previous bids before but could not sell its bonds because there were no bidders for Barry. The Michigan Municipal Finance Commission had stipulated that one county could not sell bonds unless both had buyers. Barry had previously tried, without suc­ cess, to sell its bonds February 17 and March 2. Another date to try to sell the bids had been set for March 22. The two counties were faced with mounting pressure over the sale because federal and state grants for the project would have expired at the end of the month Mrs. Burdick said the two counties' municipal finance advisor Robert Bendzmski was instrumental in negotiating with potential investors to secure the sewer bond sale last week. “We were all trying to find someone to bid the bonds," she said. The bids accepted were on the original issue which means Barry and Kalamazoo didn't have to incorporate any of the discount and didn't have to raise the interest rate, she said. Recently, the Barry County Board of Commissioners approved a resolution to pave the way for the DPW to hike the interest rate and discount the bonds up to five per­ cent. Merrill Lynch also submitted bids on the bonds last week. Construction of the sewer project is ex­ pected to begin as soon as weather permits.

Linda said, “and that includes planning for your retirement." Comparing 1981 and 1982 tax tables, Linda illustrated how taxpayers will have more spendable u’come in 1982 than they had in 1981. She encouraged everyone to do something with that extra spendable income toward their own retirement. "Even if you don’t itemize, you can tax shelter up to $2,000.00 per year in an IRA retirement account," Linda said. "With a non-working spouse, you can shelter up to $2,250.00. With an IRA (Individual Retirement Account), one may start drawing out savings at the age of 594 and must have completely drawn the funds by the age 704. "If a married couple has a considerable age difference, different amounts of in­ vestment can be allocated to the younger marriage partner thereby sheltering the funds from taxes for a longer period of time.” Ms. Garrison illustrated how an investor would r< :eive a tax advantage by investing in an IRA even for a brief time, compared to passbook or money market savings. "And if an investor is dissatisfied with his or her particular IRA account, it can be rolled over into another type of IRA. providing it is done within 60 days of taking funds out of the previous IRA. providing it is not done more than once a year," she said. Ms. Harrison referred to a new savings vehicle, called the Single Premium Deferred Annuity." Any amount can be deposited." she said. "There is no penalty for withdrawal and a person of any age may participate. Savings accumulate much faster than in any other savings method. Interest withdrawals are not taxed as they are seen as a recapture from the principle." In /dosing, Ms. Harrison encouraged members and guests to "do something tor yourselves" and to seriously look into pioviding for the future by considering saving for retirement.

The senior forward that has led the Saxons in scoring this season, scored all eight of his points in the fourth quarter helping the Delton's Dove Barry returns to earth with a slam dunk in district tournament action Wednesday. Barry scored 19 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, but Hastings won 56--9, St9v9 Jacobs photo) Saxons take the lead for the last time in a game full of scoring spurts and exciting action. Of course the Delton Panthers didn't help themselves committing turnovers the last four times down the floor and falling to the Saxons 56-19 And Del Cotto got a lot uf help from senior guard Steve Morgan who twisted, turned and fired in a game high 21 points. “Morgan and Del Cotto did what they do best ” Saxon mentor Denny O’Mara said after the game. “They put the ball in the hole when we needed it.’’ Del Cotto had spent most of the game on the bench in foul trouble before the start of the fourth quarter. With the score 38-37 following a second quarter that was all Hastings, and a third quarter that was all Delton. Del Cotto hit eight of the next ten points for Hastings and paced the Saxons to a 48-42 lead at the 4:57 mark of the final period. But Delton wasn’t finished. Forward Chuck Simonovic hit a pair of free throws and Gary Chantrenne grabbed an offensive rebounmd and put it back in. Then Ken Francisco banked one in from about ten feet and the score was 48-46. Stu Spyker nailed a pair of clutch free throws at 1:49 to give the Saxons a fear point cushion, but Chantrenne nailed the boards again and came up with a tip in to close it to two at 1:12. Freshman Mark Brown who tallied 12 points and collected a host of assists for the night, looked like a freshman for a moment. He missed a free throw, fouled Francisco who missed the first of a bonus situation, and then was trapped and tied up by Delton’s J)ave Barry at the :55 second mark. The 6 ft. 5 inch Barry won the jump easily and Delton controlled the ball for a chance to tie. Craig Pennock brought the ball into the key area, but that was as far as he got. Saxon John Karpinski slapped the ball away and was fouled by Pennock when he tried to escape with the gooes. K drpinski went to the line, nailed both free throws, and put the Saxons up 52-48 with :34 seconds remaining. Delton suffered two more turnovers on their next pair of last ditch attempts and made the last :30 seconds last forever by fouling and calling timeouts. Meanwhile Karpinski, Brown and Morgan took turns hitting free throws to ice the game. O'Mara said the key to the Saxons winning the game was hard work. "Even when they came back on us in the third quarter, we stayed composed and kept working," he said. After Delton had rolled to an early 9-2 lead that had the gym rocking, the Saxons fought back and were down 13-9 at the end of the first period. In the second period the Saxons rolled as Morgan and Brown combined their scoring and passing efforts. At half Hastings led 31-18, but Delton roared back after the intermission behind Barry and Simonovic and brought the game into reach for the final period of excitement. Delton's Coach Bob Prentice was disap­ pointed that his team gave away their last few chances but he still found room to praise his squad. "We gave it a good effort." he said. “The guys could have given up at halftime but they didn’t.” “I thought we showed a lot of class coming back.” he added. "1 hope Hastings has a good Friday night and wins it." Barry, a junior and the Barry County scoring champ at just over 19 points a game, netted 19 points and grabbed 12 rebounds “Except for the two dunks, he had to work for what he got, ” O’Mara said. “We were all over him, but it takes a lot to stop him." Simonovic. a senior, joined Barry in double figures with 14 for the Panthers. Spyker who spent a lot of the night diving for loose balls scrambled for 10 points to join Morgan and Brown in double figures for Hastings. Delton did win the battle of the boards by a 43-30 count. Chantrenne ended the night with nine to help Barry, and Simonovic chipped in seven. Dann Howitt led Hastings with 10, Bruce Hartman grabbed six and Spyker came up with five. The 9-12 Saxons move to district final action Friday at Delton. They will take on a 14-7 Caledonia squad that clobbered them in the season opener this year. The Panthers drop to 12-10 to finish the season. Friday’s championship game will kick off at 7:30 p.m. in the Delton gym and O’Mara admits the Saxons have their work cut out for them. "We have to work hard and rebound," he said. "For this team it is as simple as that.” Saxons Dann Howitt (30) and Stu Spyker (14) battle Delton Panthers Gary Chantrenne (40) and Dave Barry (33) for a rebound in district tournament action. District Tournament Action District Tournament window Lansu.g CatholicJfZ Maple ValleyySS The Maple Valldy Lions missed the first four shots of the game and Lansing Catholic Central couldn’t miss on their turns. It proved to be an omen of what was to come. , Lansing Catholic Central outscored the Lions in every quarter Wednesday, proving they are poor district hosts and swamping the Lions 82-55. Lion Coach Jerry Reese was disappointed. “We didn’t play as well as we could have,” he said. “They are quick and very tough, but we made them lode even better.’’ Only one Lion scored in double figures Senior Eric Wolff ended his career with a 17 point performance. Tony Dunkelberger returned from injury to add six points and lead the Lions with nine rebounds. The Lions end the season at 10-11. Lansing moves to district championship action on Saturday at 1 p.m. They play the winner of the Pewamo-Westphalia-Olivet game. Caledonia 61 Lakewood 59 The Lakewood Vikings played without injured forward Tom Eckstrom, but didn’t give in without a fight. For the last three minutes the Vikings played without their complete front line via foul trouble but made Caledonia work to escape with a district tournament win at Delton, Tuesday. Caledonia held small leads between three Class C at MIDDLEVILLE: and six points-for most of the contest before escaping. Lakewood center Randy Hazel had his own way inside scoring a game high 23 points, and Jeff Duits scored 13 from his forward spot, but tiie Vikes couldn’t overcome the Caledonia balance. The Vikings close out at 12-9 as Tri-River champions. Caledonia moves on to the district title tilt with Hastings at 7:30 p.m. Friday. Middleville 54 Byion Center 47 The Thornapple-Kellogg Trojans moved to 19-2 and into tonight's second round battle by edging Byron Center 54-47, Tuesday. The Trojans hung on to slight leads the entire contest against the patient Bulldogs and defeated their OK-Blue counterparts for the third time this season. Senior guard Steve Scott pumped in 22 points, grabbed eight rebounds, came up with three steals and dished out seven assists to lead the Trojans He was joined in double figures by Brian Miller who scored 14, and Bill Schwartz who added 13. The Trojans showed balance on the boards with Miller and Schwartz each matching Scott's figure of eight. Jim Schipper helped out with nine assists.

Outdoor Report; GENERAL OUTDOOR CONDITIONS: There is still 6 to 10 inches of ice on our lakes plus 7 new inches of snow. The ice should still be safe this weekend. Remember, however, that the sun is melting the ice and snow faster now than in January. As it gets warmer, watch that ice closely! FISHING: Most of our reports on panfish this week were discouraging Th4 fish were not feeding very actively but there should be some good bluegill fishing before the ice goes out. On the other hand, the steelhead runs have started. Spawn seems to work best for bait. Try the St. Joseph River at Berrien Springs or the Allegan Dam on the Kalamazoo River. Sucker runs will be starting soon, probably within the next two weeks as soon as it warms up. OTHER OUTDOOR SHORTS: Reminder Your current fishing license expires on March 31. New licenses will be on sale on about March 15-20. The new license will cover you for the rest of the month through March’31 of 1983. THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION has reported that in a survey of more than 25,000 of its members, 73 per­ cent of them said the country has "too little" environmental regulation while only 5 percent said it has "too much”. The remaining 21 percent felt the U.S. has "just about the right amount” of environmental controls, the conservation group said. The 73 percent pro-regulation vote was up 11 percent from last year, when 62 percent of NWF’s members, answering the same question, said there was too little regulation. 11 percent felt there was too much, and 25 percent throught existing regulations were adequate. The question on environmental controls was asked for the first time in the annual NWF survey last year, after Ronald Reagan had made “overregulation’’ an issue in the 1960 campaign. In another membership survey last year, the NWF found that its members voted two-to-one for Reagan over Jimmy Carter for President. The regulation question was one of nine put to NWF’s members this year the Federation said. It was tabulated and reported first, according to Jay D. Hair, executive vice president of the organization, because a regulatory “reform" bill is awaiting floor action in the U.S Senate and "we thought the Congress should know how a broad cross-section of Americans feel about environmental protection rules." The results of the membership survey will alsoguide the Federation, with its 4.2 million members and supporters, in setting its policies for the coming year when it holds its Annual Meeting from March 19 through 21 in Milwaukee, Wis.

Johnston Homes in Sundago Park on the west side of Thornapple Lake could be reached only boats on Wednesday. (Banner photos) Flooding along the Thornapple River and Thornapple Lake forced between 100 and 135 people out of their homes as the water level lopped flood stage by two feet. Wednesday. The river, which flowed at 3.7 feet at 5 p.m , Friday, reached 8.95 feet at 11 p.m., Tuesday, and stayed at that level most of Wednesday. Larry Hollenbeck. Barry County civil defense director, said. “It's standing still al 8.95 feet." Hollenbeck said Wednesday afternoon. “I don't know when it will start dropping." Meal service and a shelter for people evacuated were set up by the Barry County Red Cross at Peace United Methodist Church on M-79 and at the First United Methodist Church in Hastings, Tuesday. Denis Munson, Red Cross chapter chairman, said about 41 people were fed at the M-79 site since Tuesday evening and several families were fed in Hastings. The Red Cross provided shelter al the Hastings church and at a local motel for seven families. "There were maybe 200 homes affected." Hollenbeck said, “but a lot of these homes don't have people in them all of the time. At Sundago Park ion the west side of Thor­ napple Lake). Pleasant Shores ion the south side) and off Lake Drive (the north side), all of these people are gone " He said that most people self-evacuated and were staying with friends and relatives, making it difficult to get an actual count. He also said that it was too early to estimate Lie damage from flooding. This year's flood was about eight inches short of the water levels in the 1975 flood, riverbank residents said. "When it flooded in 1975,1 had 18 inches of water in my home," Bill Clark of 579 fhornapple Lake Rd., said. Gary Hartman of 1891 W. State Rd. said that he had 16 inches of water in his home in 1975, but only eight inches this time. Hart­ man prepared for the rising waler by removing all of his furniture and even his carpeting before the water reached his house. Hartman said he had lived in his home for Martin Rood, north of M-eJ, was awash with water as runoff drained from nearby fields, Saturday. Hastings 25 years, but had only been affected by flooding in 1975 and this year. It cost him $3,000 in damages in 1975. Sheriff David (). Wood said that when he bought his home near the E. Center Road bridge, he was told it had never flooded. Wood had water in his basement in 1975 and had to sandbag again in 1980. This year, he and his sons. Dave and Mike, piled sand and sandbags along the riverbank in the backyard of their property and kept the water out of the yard by running a pump to return seepage to the river. Their home stayed dry. Workers at the Hastings W'astewater Treatment plant kept water out of the buildings by sandbagging along the east edge of plant properly, where a drainage ditch had filled on Tuesday afternoon. "We're okay now." William Ransom, superintendent said. Wednesday. “We went ahead and got ready for the 10 foot crest that we didn't get." Ransom said the National Weather Service was predicting a 10 foot crest level because a 3i-inch rain was ex­ pected. Tuesday, but didn’t materialize. "We had water partially around one building." he said, but we got that taken care of. There was no threat to our tanks." A heavy Friday night rain combined with a quick spring thaw also left Barry County roads washed out and covered with water Ronald Lear, engineer manager of the Barry County Road Commission, said Barger. Buller. Jordan. CeMer. E. State and Charlton Park roads and Lake Drive all had waler across them over the weekend. "Most of the areas are passable, but some are pretty rough.” Lear said. "You wouldn't want to lake the family car down them.” (Lake Drive remains flooded). Lear said that the bridge on Barger Road between Thornapple Lake Road and Center Road was under water. Water was also flowing freely across E State Rd., about six miles from Hastings on Monday afternoon Lear said that the shoulders of a number of i uads were washed out and may take some time to repair.

Charlton Park cost report reveals camping might not make money by Greg Johnson Seven mobile homes ot Corlton Center Mobile Villoge were surrounded by water, Saturday, after runoff from a nearby field backed up along Barber Rood. Charlton Park may not be able to quickly recoup a $100,00) campground investment from campground revenues, a report from the park director revealed. Th< first year’s gross revenue might cover the first year’s operating costs, but would probably not dent the initial building in­ vestment of approximately $100,000 for the first 25 to 50 camping sites at Charlton Park, the cost effectiveness report said. Frank Walsh, park director, sent copies, Wednesday, of his unrequested cost ef­ fectiveness report to a special park development committee appointed by the Barry County Parks and Recreation Com­ mission. That commission is bringing a zoning request that would allow construction of cam, grounds on 139 acres of Charlton Park to a public hearing of the county Planning and Zoning Commmission on Monday, Needs for increased school tax detailed to Hastings Chamber Twenty-five layoffs are in the offing if the proposed Hastings school tax hike goes down in defeat. Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce members were told Tuesday. However, the 25 layoffs would still be costly to the district in terms of unem­ ployment expenditures to the tune of $200,000. Beyond the personnel reduction figure, school officials who attended the Tuesday Chamber luncheon were reluctant to specify exactly what would happen if voters defeat the 5.3 millage proposal at the April 26 election. "As a taxpayer and a parent, I'd rather know precisely what can be expected in the way of cuts (if the millage fails)," said Hugh Fullerton, school board candidate “We want to keep all our options open," responded Dr. William Baxter, president of the Hastings Area Board of Education. He said it had been a mistake the last time cuts were detailed prior to a millage election Baxter and Robert Miller, administrative assistant for non-instruction who will serve as acting superintendent in 1983. fielded a variety of questions from chamber mem­ bers. , „, Several voiced concerns over the 9.5 percent pay increase teachers are ear­ marked to receive in their contracts for the next two school years and felt that the pay­ hikes might cause the millage to be defeated because of voter resentment Richard Shuster. Hastings attorney, commented. “There are probably less than ten percent here who will be getting that kind of increase or who will give that much of an increase to their employees." He said voter reaction may very well be "why should they <teachers) get something 1 can't get." Baxter had noted earlier in the meeting that all school employees, including teachers, had agreed to wage freezes during this school year Some employee groups "are on their second wage freeze." he said. "We can't do that forever. We've resisted asking voters for an increase (in taxes) but we are at the point of facing serious problems...it's necessary to reinstate what we've being doing without for three years," Baxter said. W’ith the dismal economic outlook. Miller said the 9 5 increase slated for teachers "does look mighty high now " He called that figure an albatros. but defended the board's action because "all the economists predicted that things would pick-up in the spring of '82." The current teacher-contract does not retain the provision for teachers to receive "full cost of living every six months. " he said, adding that the previous cost of living payments had been a financial burden to the district and unfavorable to the general community. The additional 5.3 mills, if approved, will generate between $6-700.000, the Chamber was told. Even with passage of the tax increase three members of the staff are pegged for lay-off because of declining enrollment. School officials said they hope the three staff reductions could be accomplished through attrition. If approved, the additional millage would restore such programs as elementary music and physical education programs, band and orchestra, full time principals, athletics, and allow for purchase of new textbooks, and fullscale maintainance, the chamber was told. Athletic programs have been funded by private sources for the past three years. Baxter noted that Hastings schools have "been on an austerity budget...we've made drastic and painful cuts." He pinpointed •inflation, declining enrollment, and tough times in Michigan" as key reasons for the district's financial woes. Reductions made during the last three years have included cutting the ad­ ministrative staff in half; reducing food service costs 23 percent; and not purchasing new vocational equipment or typewriters. Typewriters, currently receiving daily use' haven't been repaired in three years. Baxter said. The purchase of new textbooks has been trimmed and it was noted that fourth graders are using an outdated geography book which refers to "48 states." Building maintainance has been curtailed 30 percent with repairs limited to patch-up jobs. The repainting program has been scrapped as well as the replacement plan for school bus purchases The economy and enrollment are two unknown factors the board has to contend with in plotting the school's financial course The local school district is faced with a S20C.000 deficit this year. The deficit is "exactly what has been cut from state funding? the Chamber was told Continued on page 10 March 22 at the Barry County Courthouse.. In a press release dated March 15, the Parks and Recreation Commission said that their special committee of Albert Bell. Bob Russell and Del Heath, recommended a campground be constructed as part of an overall effort to create additional sources of income for the park so that it can eventually become more self-supporting. Walsh's report, which is based on a 120 day season figure used by Michigan campground owners, reveals that the operating costs at the park in the first year might be covered by­ gross revenue. The report shows that at a conservative estimate of 50 percent occupancy for the season (25 percent on weekdays. 90 percent on weekends) the gross income would be $3,000 or S4JMX). "One could argue that the interest on $100,000, $14,000, would be a wiser choice, however, one should take into account that eventually the income from a successful campground could exceed invested income." the report goes on to say. “Also, one should consider the additional service camping would make available to the public, and the increased valuation of the property." A list of expenses in the report reveals that the operation costs for a single year could be as high as $5,000. That includes garbage service, janitorial supplies, electrical ser­ vice, advertisement and publicity, telephone service and labor. "Occupancy rate is difficult to estimate until the campground has been established for several years," the report admits. “The normal assumption would be that the rate would be low the first year and increase each year until a mean would be predictable." The report also says that operating ex­ penses are difficult to estimate because they are related to the occupancy rale, facilities provided and vandalism, however, the figure < $5,000) would be realistic if equipment depreciation, fuel and maintenance were figured in. About $4,000 of the $5,000 figure is labor expenses. The report isays the present staff could possibly absorb about half of the labor for a 25 site campground. That would cut the figure to $3,000 for expenses, breaking even and perhaps making money if the gross revenue estimates of $3,000 to $4,000 hold true. The Commission’s press release said that phase one (first 25 sites) would be paid for out of the park's building fund, not me county's general revenue. The building fund is based largely, on money from the estate of the late Irving’Charlton, the park’s founder Charlton Park records show that the Charlton estate is just over $98,951. with $19,499 of that already commmitted to other projects. That leaves $79,452 that the com­ mission says will pay for the first 25 sites, about $20,548 less than Walsh's report estimates it would cost. The contemplated area of the park would accomodate 100 campsites in the northeast corner of the 300 acres just south of River Rd. when finished. Access from the present entrance off Charlton Park Rd., would be on a road that $15,000 has already been appropriated towards. Alberi Bell, chairman of the special committee said Wednesday that the road is needed even if the zoning request is denied. “We need access to that 139 acres back there." he said. "And as far as $15,000 is Walsh’s report estimates the road would cost $10,000. Plans for the campground include a well, septic system, a building for toilet and shower facilities, and a dump station for recreational vehicles, the press release said. A total of 21 cost estimates for construction, including all of the above, are included in Walsh's report.

Do you agree with his plan for an income tax increase? Hastings wouldn't hurt that much. I'd rather have it (a tax increase) out of there (my paycheck) instead of property taxes,” said Florence. She also said she feels the states services have already absorbed enough cuts in ex­ penditures. Dale Boersma of Delton, owner of the Superette in Hastings, thinks its too late for Milliken's proposed tax increase to have many benefits. Milliken "has been driving industry out of the state so fast there's no one left to tax,” he said, adding that there isn't enough concern for “the small businessman who pays the majority of taxes." "It seems to me that we're spending too much money on state subsidized and giveaway programs” Boersma said he believes there is still room for the slate to make cutbacks before approaching the people with a tax increase. "We should get rid of a lol of government jobs. They (the state) should clean-up their own back yard first." Judy Weeks of Hastings, a cook at Rena's Restaurant, responds with a strong no when it comes to talk about an increase in state income taxes. “The state shouldn't be so lenient with .giveaway programs. They should always check into the qualifications of welfare recipients each month, and they can cut back on other programs. About half the people on welfare don’t need to be. Only the really needy should. Some of the people on welfare are better off than we are," she said. Jeff Huver of Hastings, an employee of Cove Distributing, says. “We're paying too much now" when it comes to taxes and is against an increase. He asks. “Whose going to keep paying taxes if everyone's going to be on welfare?" June Murphy of Nashville, baker, said she does not favor an increase of income taxes but sees "nothing wrong with increasing the taxes on luxuries that aren't necessary. She also adds. "1 think we can cut alot of welfare programs." “Definitely not.” Jefferson Feiler of Hastings says when asked if he agrees with Milliken's plan for increased taxes. “1 believe the present use of taxes are not being used as they should be. ‘You can't keep coming down on the backs Banner Send Form P S 3579 to P O Bo* B (USPS 071-830) 1952 N.

That was the reaction to a proposed hike in state income tax by the majority of persons interviewed Tuesday. Most in­ dicated that their paychecks are already being whittled down by taxation. Many felt that giveaway programs subsized by state funds should be reduced substantially to provide only for the truly needy, elderly, and handicapped and consequently provide budget relief. Millie Rathbun, a dietary aid al Provincial House in Hastings was one who spoke out against a stale income tax increase. “I think they’re taking too much out already. They don't leave us nothing in our check now.” "I think the state should raise the cost of alcoholic beverages and liquor (in lieu of an income tax increase)...then there might not be as many drinking and those who did would at least be helping the state to pay for ser­ vices Maybe you wouldn't have as many drinking because they wouldn't have the money and that would be good too.” she said. Donald Shellenbarger of Lake Odessa is opposed to an increase of stale income tax because he feels there's still room for more belt tightening "The state should economize more instead of asking for more money. We're paying too much in taxes already. The state should check out other ways < to in­ crease revenues). Shellenbarger. a former milk hauler who operates the restaurant at the Lake Odessa Livestock Auction with his wife, said non­ paid holidays should continue for state employees and "lawmakers should not be going after salary raises." He also feels that the use of stale cars should be reduced. "I didn’t have anyone furnish my tran­ sportation when 1 worked in Lansing." He also suggested that welfare recipients should be scrutinized carefully and taxes on cigarettes and alcohol should be increased. "It might discourage smokers and drinkers and raise money for the state at the same time.” he said Florence Comp of Hastings, a dishwasher at Rena's Restaurant, said "1 don't know i if I agree with Milliken's increased tax plan) but 1 suppose that would be alright if it would help the budget. •A few more cents out of the paycheck West Woodland News Sunday morning.

JULIET BOURDO, Secretary Board of Education �The Hastings Banner, Thursday March 18, 1982 • Page 7 County law enforcement headed by prosecutor by Liz Kingsbury The ultimate police power in the county lies in the hands of the prosecutor whom the people elect. "The prosecutor decides the initial charge against the defendant, not the police, not the court," said Judy Hughes Barry County prosecuting attorney. The office of the prosecuting attorney is mandated by the state constitution and all duties are prescribed by law. “The prosecutor is a quasi judicial of­ ficer," Hughes said. "Some duties arc ex­ press and others are implied " The prosecutor appears for the stale or county and prosecutes or defends in county courts all prosecutions, suits, applications, motions in which the county is a party or is interested. The prosecutor does not represent the cities, townships or villages. The office divides its time between seven Tonado sirens tested Thursday Local emergency organizations joined the observance of Tornado Safety Week. March 14-20, by testing their tornado alert sirens on Mar. 18 at 1:15 p.m. Joining the observance were the fire departments in Delton, Freeport. Hastings. Hickory Corners. Middleville, Nashville, Orangeville. Woodland, Johnstown, Pine Lake and the Fine Lake Association WBCH AM-FM in Hastings broadcasted a special announcement upon receiving the test alert from the National Weather Service at the same time. Also involved in the test was the Michigan State Police <.nd the Emergency Preparedness Agency. Beginning Mar. 17, the radio station, in cooperation with Hastings Mutual Insurance Company, will be broadcasting a daily series of tornado safety rules. Since 1950. Michigan has had a total of 232 people kiled by 522 tomados. The worst tornado da;- in the United States was April 3, 1974, when 148 separate tornadoes caused 315 deaths. 6,900 injuries and over $600 million in property damages. Capt. Peter Basolo, commander of the State Police emergency services division, emphasized that tornadoes can occur at any­ time of the night or day and in any month of the year. However, tornadoes occur most frequently in April through July, between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. More than 600 tornadoes strike the nation each year with annual property loss averaging $75 million. Roxonno Maxson legal secretary lor support matters, is shown at her desk in the Barry County Prosecutor s office. (Banner Photos) basic areas: crime and criminal in­ vestigation. establishing paternity of alleged lathers; support; juvenile delinquents, neglect; proceedings involving the mentally ill; and civil advice to the board of com­ missioner; and toother county departments. The prosecutor's office also reviews divorce judgements involving minor children. To give a complete description of all of the prosecutor s duties would take volumes of writing. Hughes said. Hughes picked up a thick notebook and said."This is a description of the prosecutor's civil duties." "To do all that we've got myself, two assistant prosecutors, two secretaries and one volunteer paralegal assistant." Hughes, a 1971 graduate of the University of Michigan who received her juris doctor degree from Wayne State University in 1976 was appointed, then elected county prosecutor in 1980 She was appointed by Circuit Court Judges Hudson Deming and Richard Robinson to replace Robert Engels, then was elected for the four-year term Before she was Barry County prosecutor she was chief assistant prosecutor for a year, here, and assistant prosecutor in Kalamazoo County for three years. Judy's husband. Ned. is also an attorney. He lias an office in Grand Rapids '.nd practices thoughout southwestern Michigan. He is also housecotin.se! for Michigan Mutual Insurance Co. and is involved in worker's compensation defense. The Hughes live on Airport Road and they have two children. Ben. 6. and Jenny, 3. “Any duly that 1 have can be fulfilled by any of the other attorneys," Hughes said. Dale Crowley, the chief assistant prosecutor, fills in for Hughes in her ab­ sence. Members of the Hastings Lions Club held a special meeting. Monday, when Dis­ trict Gov. Vic Hahn of Belding was on hand to help celebrate the club's 32nd anniver­ sary and to install new members. Past presidents and charter members James Mulder and Don Rose were given the pleasure of cuffing a birthday cake following the dinner at the Tick Tock Restaurant.

This Notice is given by order of the Board of Education of Hastings Area School District, Michigan Dated March 19. 1982 JO ANN FLUKE, Secretary, Board of Education �The Hastings Banner, Thursday March 18. 1982 • page 10 Republicans hear partisan blast by Senate candidate by Robert J. Johnston Caroline Dimmers of Hastings (left) was honored for her service to the Republican Party. Presenting her with awards were State Rep. Donald H. Gilmer (center) and county party chairman C. Wendell Strickland. (Banner photo) There was no doubt that the speaker was a Republican and the current senator from Michigan was a Democrat. Barry County Republicans heard a par­ tisan blast at U.S. Sen. Donald Reigle from one of his Republican challengers, former Congressman Phillip Ruppe, at the annual Lincoln Day Banquet, Friday at the First United Methodist Church in Hastings. “Wouldn’t it be good if we had a U.S. Senator in Michigan who was interested in reducing the budget," Ruppe said. Ruppe charged that Reigle had 15 op­ portunites to vote with the president on budget items, last year, and voted against him 14 times. Nonetheless, Reigle still voted for the tax cut, which would reduce revenues, Ruppe said. "How are we going to have any handle on inflation if you vote to bust the budget,” he said. Ruppe claimed tliat Ford Motor Co. could have saved $400 million if emmission control standards were relaxed. The president and other groups in Washington have been pushing for relaxed standards that wouldn't have any affect on air quality and would result in more fuel efficient cars, he said. The legislation to implement those reduced standards has not even been introduced, he continued, because the automobile industry cannot count on Reigle to push it through the Senate. Ruppe said he did agree with Reigle on one issue raised in Reigle’s last campaign. At that time, Ruppe said, Reigle was challenging incumbent Republican Sen. Robert Griffin and claimed that a Democratic senator was needed from the state to work with a Democratic president and Democratic Senate. "It’s time we have a Republican senator working with a Republican Senate and a Republican president," he said. Ruppe, an energetic speaker who dramatized nearly every comment with a hand gesture, defended Reaganomics by saying the economic program was off to a "very strong, very good start." The former Upper Penninsula congressman pointed out that the rate of inflation is under six percent, while many said it was out of control when Reagan took office. He said that business regulation was easing, and that while interest rates are still Hastings Mayor Kenneth J. Howe (left) talks politics with Senate candidate Phillip Ruppe and State Rep. Donald H. Gilmer. (Bannor photo) too high, they are four percentage points below <. year ago. When the federal budget is under control, he argued, interest rates should come down below 10 percent. ‘‘Congress and this administration working together have got to get a handle on that ludget," Ruppe said. He said that Congress must not only reduce the budget this year, but must take steps to ensure a reduced budget next year and the year after. In Michigan, he said, we must restore the confidence of investors. The former head of his family’s brewing company said Michigan did not have a business climate to attract investors. He said that the state government's reform of workers compensation laws, last year, was the single most important thing done. “That signalled to investors that Michigan means business.” he said. He also said that the recent Ford-UAW pact was almost unprecedented. “There are things that can be done outside of Washington to improve the job and economic climate in the state,” he said. In addition to the speech by Ruppe. Republicans heard an welcome to the city from Mayor Kenneth J. Howe and some jabs at the Democrats from county chairman C. Wendell Strickland. Special recognition was given to Caroline Dimmers for her work in the parly. A legislative tribute, read by State Rep Donald 11. Gilmer, recognized her service as a precinct, county and state convention delegate, work in the district and the county parties and Republican Women’s Club. Serving as toast mistiess was Audrey Burdick, county drain commissioner. Norval Thaler, county clerk, led a sing-along. Sheriff David O. Wood delivered the in­ vocation. (The meal was prepared by women of the First United Methodist Church and it was noted after the dinner that cred't for baking hundreds of dinner rolls was inadvertently given to the wrong person. The rolls were baked by Clara Stanton.) County Republican chairman C. Wendell Strickland used a few slight-of-hand techniques to dramatize what he thinks of Democratic programs. He never spilled a drop as he poured milk into a newspaper funnel and then made the milk disapPear(Banner photo) Republicans packed the banquet room at the First United Methodist Church for their annual Lincoln Day Banquet, Friday. (Banner photo) CAMPING continued from page 1 Walsh said Wednesday that the committee did not ask him to draw up a cost ef­ fectiveness report. Ken Jones, chairman of both the Parks and Recreation Commission and the Planning and Zoning Commission, announced he will not participate in Monday's public hearing because of his obvious "conflict of interest". "My feelings as a member of the Planning and Zoning Commission could very well be in conflict with what is being presented by the Parks and Recreation Commission of which 1 am also a member.” he said. The Parks and Recreation Commission has asked that the zoning classification for the 139 acrea area be changed from R-2 (residential) to AR (agriculturalresidential). Under the AR specifications, a special use permit can be issued to allow the development of a campground. The public hearing is set for 7:30 p m.. Monday in the Barry County Courthouse. SCHOOL MILLAGE continued from page 1 Hastings schools have suffered because of the state’s cutback of school aid even though local taxpayers are paying more taxes because of increased property assessments, said Baxter The local share of taxes becomes larger and the state share smaller, he noted. The Hastings district’s cash flow problem of the past several years is related directly to receiving late state aid payments, the Chamber learned. As a result of the state's financial juggling act, the district has been forced to borrow 1.3 million dollars which cost the district $56,000 in interest. To help alleviate the cash flow problem, the school board has approached city of­ ficials about the possibility of having a summer tax collection. If the school tax increase is approved in April, the cost to taxpayers will be $5 30 for each $1,000 of assessed valuation. This means that a taxpayer who owns a house that has a market value of $50,000 <$25,000 State Equalized Valuation), the additional mills would cost an extra $125 per year in taxes.

HASTINGS BANNER Call 948-8051 Families from many foreign countries have invited teen-agers from this area to visit them for 3 to 8 weeks this summer. This is part of the International Youth Exchange (IYE) program, coordinated by Rotary clubs. Applicants to be either hosts or guests may be from either non-Rotary or Rotary families. Details are available from local Rotary clubs or frem IYE, Box 32, Mon­ ticello, Hl.. 217-762-2171. The most distant destinations are Brazil, India and most free countries in Europe. For those who wish a lesser air fare, Mexico and French-speaking Quebec are available. Some destination countries, with ap­ proximate departure dales and number of weeks abroad, are: mid-June - Brazil, India 4 to 8 weeks; France 3 weeks. Early July Mexico, Holland 4 weeks; Belgium 3 weeks; Germany 3 to 5 weeks; Italy 4 to 8 weeks; French-speaking Quebec 4 weeks. Mid-July Denmark, Finland, Norway 4 weeks; France 3 weeks; England 34 weeks. There are several types of Rotary IYE programs: (1) Most common is a two-way exchange, in which a youngster from a local family goes abroad one summer, in exchange for a visit from a youngster from the fordign family. The latter visit might be the prior summer or the following summer or the same summer if school vacation dates permit, or at Christmastime in exchange with Brazil. (2) Sometimes the local family sends a youngster to one family, but receives a youngster from a different family, from the same or a different country. (3) Some foreign families invite U.S. youngsters to visit them, without sending a youngster in return. (4) Some U.S. families, whose children do not wish to travel abroad, nevertheless have a significant experience in international understanding by hosting a foreign student for a few weeks. The cost is moderate, consisting only of providing room and board in the family home. Rotary officials recommend IYE 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. The sending family pays only the air fare, extra spending money, and a small sum for insurance and processing costs Rotary also sponsors school-year ex­ changes for high school juniors and seniors. A few vacancies remain for year long visits starting in August 1982 and January 1983. English is the official language of Rotary IYE, and the second language in most foreign host families, so no other language proficiency is required for most countries visited. County TRA workers may apply for new job search funds Workers who have been adversely affected by foreign imports, thus qualifying monies from the slate Trade Readjustment Act, can apply for new job search funds, said Michael Williams of the Barry County Michigan Employment Security Commission. “Any adversely affected worker can apply for benefits at any MESC office," Williams said. Congress has allocated new money to help current and past TRA workers pay for their job search expenses and relocation costs, as well as some training, Michigan Em­ ployment Security Commission MESC) Chairman Frank C. Padzieski, with mem­ bers Walter A. Campbell. Ken Morris, Victor M. Zink and ex-officio member William Long, announced today. Michigan has been allocated $4.4 million through the Trade Act of 1974, MESC Director S. Martin Taylor explained. The Trade Act provides Trade Readjustment Allowances iTRA) and other benefits to workers who lose their jobs or have their hours reduced because of foreign imports. "We cannot use this money to pay regular or extended weekly TRA unemployment benefits." Taylor cautioned. "Instead, these new funds can only be used to pay for training, job seeking and relocation " Taylor said that money will be allocated to provide training for those TRA workers who qualify. Unlike job search and relocation allowances, payment of training costs is not a legal entitlement under the Trade Act. Consequently, training benefits have more restrictions. To qualify for funds to cover training costs, a worker must be permanently laid off and need training io prepare for a new job. Also, the worker must be able to start training no later than 26 weeks after exhausting his-her entitlement to basic TRA benefits. "Because of this 26-week deadline for entering training, workers interested in entering a TRA funded training program should contact us immediately." Taylor said. "For example, a worker who received his-her last TRA check on October 16, 1981, has 26 weeks, until April 16, 1982, to enter an approved training program and become eligible for TRA training funds.” Tuition assistance is availaole for some TRA students who MESC previously ap­ proved tor TRA self-financed training when only TRA allowances (not tuition funds) were available. These workers may be eligible for future tuition aid even if they are no longer receiving TRA allowances. Taylor said that Trade Act benefits also include reimbursement of up to 90 percent of �The Hastings Banner, Thursday March 18,1982 • Page 11 ‘Big Boys’ from Okemos too much for the Saxons by Greg Johnson If any member of the front line of the Okemos Chieftans decides not to attend College, they could probably find a job as a window washer. Even a pro, complete with window cleaner and a squeegee, couldn't have kept the glass backboards at Lansing Eastern High cleaner than the defending state champs did Tuesday night. Okemos grabbed 22 more rebounds off the glass than Hastings enroute to a 74-55 first round regional win, and sent the upset minded Saxons home with a lesson in of­ fensive rebounding. "They box out really well and they go after the offensive boards," Hastings coach Denny O'Mara said after the game. "We played hard, but they just took it to us on the boards." The Chieftans took down 39 rebounds in the game compared to 17 for the Saxons, and scored 16 points on second shots following offensive rebounds. Much of the damage was done by senior Tim Bolton who grabbed 19 rebounds and scored 22 points to pace the number four rated team in Class B. The Saxons stayed in the game until the final quarter when the Okemos rebounding edge and scoring balance took it’s toll. Early in the third quarter the Saxons put on a rush behind freshman guard Mark Brown's shooting, and closed a 13 point halftime deficit to eight points. They had chances to cut the lead to six but couldn't score on the next three trips down the floor. Okemos cleared the defensive board each time after one shot and Bolton turned in a three point play to make the margin 11. "I thought that was the turning point," O’Mara said. "We were back in the bailgame, but we couldn't get over that hump.” "Number 40 (Bolton) really had his way in Mark Brown (10) of Hastings finds room on the baseline ond slips inside for two of his 21 points Tuesday.(8onn.r photo) Words for the Y’s By Dave Storms ••FEELIN' FIT” - Now there is an aerobics program for kids.

Senator Harry DeMaso (R-Battle Creek) has been named chairman of a newly created special Senate committee to promote economic development in the state. DeMaso. sponsor of the successful Senate Resolution 335 creating the committee, said “this new Senate open-forum committee will enable the Legislature to depart from its crisis-oriented view of problems to bring about the responsible economic changes we need." “This special committee will provide access to the Legislature for business, labor and industry before a problem becomes a volatile, politicized crisis, said DeMaso, “or, in other words, before more vital jobs are lost because of a tardy or inappropriate response by state government to a problem." Also appointed to the special committee are Robert VanderLaan (R-Kentwood), William Faust (D-Westland), Doug Ross (DSouthfield), John Kelly (D-Detroit) and Donald Bishop (R-Rochester). “We shall be holding hearings throughout the state, actively seeking input from those outside the political arena who have ideas for job development*and an enhanced economic climate," DeMaso said. The committee is directed by the Resolution to report its findings in writing on or before June 30 and December 31, 1982. “There is much that can be done in a positive, active way to channel the energies of the Legislature into creating a climate for opportunity here in Michigan, and Seante Resolution 335 gives us a new forum for contributing to the creation and maintenance of jobs in the free enterprise system. “The special committee will take a more open long-range view of the who. what, where and how of job stimulation," DeMaso said. The committee's first meeting will be scheduled within the week, according to DeMaso. People who received at least one Social Security check in 1981 and who earned more than the annual exempt amount last year have until April 15 to file an annual report of their 1981 earnings, Robert Fleminger, Social Security district manager in Grand Rapids, said recently. The 1981 annual exempt amount was $5,500 for people 65 or over and $4,080 for people under 65 all of 1981. A person who was 72 or older all of 1981 does not have to make a report. Neither do people who receive benefits because of disability, since different rules apply. A person who did not receive any checks in 1981 because of expected earnings does not have to make a report of his or her earnings. But, Fleminger said, if those eamigns were less than expected, it would be in that per­ son's best interest to make a report. This is because just $1 in benefits is withheld for every $2 of earnings above the annual exempt amount. It could be that some benefits may be due. If they are, they will be paid after the annual report is reviewed. Most people who have to make a report of their 1981 earnings have already received a form for this purpose in the mail. Those who did not receive an annual report form or those who misplaced the one they did receive can get a copy at any Social Security office. The people there will be glad to answer any questions about the annual report of ear­ nings. The Grand Rapids Social Security office is located in the Calder Plaza Building at 250 Monroe N.W., Grand Rapids, Ml 49503 ard the telephone number is t616) 456-2241. Hastings hours for the Social Security Administration are 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the first and third Monday of each month.

A crowd of nearly 60 people made the Commissioners Room al the Barry County Courthouse Annex look little, filling it to the rafters with people strongly opposed to a zoning change they believe would result in part of Charlton Park becoming a cam­ pground. McPharlin, the only person to speak for proponents of the zoning question, presented the Parks and Recreation Commission's request for a zoning change of 139 acres of Charlton Park to the Barry County Planning and Zoning Commission. During the hour long public hearing the request was am­ bushed by citizens and then denied. The Parks and Recreation Commission announced on March 15, in a press release, that their special Campground Development Committee had recommended a cam­ pground be constructed as part of an overall effort to create additional sources of income for the park. They were requesting that the area in question be changed from R-2 (residential) to AR (agricultural-residential). Under AR specifications, a special use permit could be obtained allowing the construction of a campground. But property owners in the area and members of the Sundago Park Association, a residential area next to Charlton Park, were out in force to voice their opinions against any chance of a campground being con­ structed. McPharlin kicked off the part of the hearing dealing with the zoning change in the northeast part of Charlton Park. He told the audience and the five quorum members of the Planning and Zoning Commission that most of the area surrounding section 25 was zoned AR already, and that the current R-2 zoning does not serve the purposes of the land. "The Commission has a number of dif­ ferent ideas to help fund the park," Mc­ Pharlin said during his presentation of the request. “One of them is a campground and we have a preliminary drawing of a plan for that.” The Hastings Kevin Woods, a member ol the Planning and Zoning Commission who chaired the meeting, then asked for comments from the audience. That is when the arrows of the opposition started to fly. Ron LeBeuf, a Battle Creek lawyer hired by the Sundago Park Association, a group of residents in the mobile home park adjacent to Charlton Park, was the first to speak against the zoning request. He said that the adjacent landowners have a right to know exactly what is going to be constructed before the zoning change is made. “My understanding is that there is more than a passing interest in constructing a campground." he said. “If that is so, then it should be explained in detail to these lan­ downers. They have a right to know what is in their backyards, across their streets and what .will effect their property values. ’ “The commission (Planning and Zoning) should not make a decision to change the zoning until all the hard facts come before them," LeBeuf added. "Is there going to be an access road? What kind of supervision will be involved? What is phase one or phase Banner Devoted to the Interests of Barry County Since 1856 Hastings, Michigan Vol. 127, No. 12 two? These people should be told what the bill is going to be, and who is going to pay it.” Woods then reminded the audience that the Planning and Zoning Commission's job was to consider any and all uses permitted as a result of a zoning change, not to decide for or against a specific use. But the opposition to the campground brought on more ammunition in the form of five petitions signed by about 35 to 40 residents of the Sundago Park and Charlton Park area. The petitions, presented by LeBeuf to Woods, said the undersigned people were asking for the zoning request to be refused. Larry Poll, 4635 River Rd., a neighbor of Charlton Park, said the zoning change was a manuever by elected officials to circumvent the rights of the people in the area. Shirley Fox. also a River Road resident, said, "1 don’t want it.” Ron Harriman, 4010 River Rd., said it is the wrong time to spend one dime for something of this nature. “The whole thing is based as far as 1 can see, on pure speculation," he said. "I see no point in going along with this." Price 20* Thursday, March 25,1982 County plans to tell state it won’t accept extra increase of agricultural land The Barry County Board of Com­ missioners plans to tell the Stale Tax Commission that it rejects an additional two percent increase in the property tax assessments for agricultural land. The county board voted 6-3 Tuesday to send a letter to the slate tax commission rejecting the additional agricultural assessments this year and stating that the situation will be reevaluated for 1983 by the the person hired to become the county's equalization director next month. Current Equalization Director Phyllis Jackson said she had assessed agricultural land for a 3.6 percent county-wide increase, but the stale lax commission has said the increase should be 5.6 percent instead. The possibility of an additional two per­ cent increase has angered area farmers who have urged the county board to oppose the state lax commission’s figures. Willis Aukerman. a Prairieville Township farmer at Tuesday's meeting, said, "I cannot stand any more assessment raises on my land and make it work. If I don’t pay the highest taxes per acre. I’d like to know who does. “Make them (the slate tax commission) prove that if we need an agricultural in­ crease that it has to come out of this county," ne said. In an interview last week. Aukerman said, the increases in assessments were not justifiable because the figures were based on a flat two percent, not considering that all farms in the county are not prime agricultural land. He noted that more and more farms are being auctioned because farmers aren’t able to make ends meet with the cost of production exceeding the price they receive for products. Gram prices, he said, are depressed to 1930’s levels. Baltimore Township Supervisor Wayne Miller, al Tuesday’s meeting, expressed concern about the sales studies used by the state to determine the projected increase. “The state tax commission does not consider flood plains or parcels of land that cannot get a septic permit." Prairieville Township Supervisor Roy Reck agreed, saying "It appears that the state information is inaccurate." Reck indicated to the board that the state's increase should be appealed by the county on behalf of all the townships Commissioner James Gordon said, “We are sympathetic to you. We want to see the system work right. Board Chairman Kenneth Radant read a letter from the Macomb County Board of Commissioners stating that its board had found the stale tax commission index inaccurate and are demanding an accurate assessment standard. The Barry board said it would send a letter to the state tax commission in support of Macomb. In other business. Commissioner Jack Love of the board’s central services com­ mittee. reported that John Ainslie of Springr'*ld has been hired as Barry County’s new equalization director al a salary of $22,271. He will start his new position on April 19. Michael O’Brien, president of the Gun Lake Area Chamber of Commerce, told the board about the joint effort in the county to promote tourism in Barry County. The Gun Lake Chamber, the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce and area businessmen have been making a joint effort to support tourism since last September. “What's good for Gun Lake is good for Hastings is good for Barry County" is the philosophy of the endeavor, he said. Current projects include Hastings Sum­ mer-Fest, Gun Lake Winter-Fest and future projects include a historical map of the county and bus trips from the Gun Lake area to Charlton Park. O'Brien closed by saying. "Tourism is a bright spot in the economy in Barry County. Radant thanked O'Brien and said, "On behalf of this board. I applaud your efforts." Chester Jukes of Middleville was ap­ pointed to the county allocation board.

Johnston The Hastings City Council, Monday night, agreed to study a request from the Hastings Area School District to collect school taxes in the summer rather than the winter. In a letter to the council, JoAnn Fluke, school board secretary, and William Baxter, president, said that the district paid $56,000 in interest charges on $1,282,000 borrowed for operating money last summer. “If the district had received their property taxes from the City of Hastings during the summer of 1981, the borrowing could have been avoided," they said. Fluke and Baxter asked the council to consider levying the school taxes in the summer, beginning in 1983 at the earliest. Questioning the proposal, Councilwoman Mary Lou Gray (Third Ward) said she would like to see how the request would affect the “hard put’’ taxpayer. She said that with the state requesting a 15 percent income tax increase and the school requesting a 5.3 mill property tax increase, some people are going to be hard pressed to make additional sacrifices. Mayor Kenneth J. Howe said that in conversations with Richard Guenther, superintendent of schools. Robert Miller, administrative assistant, and City Treasurer Phyllis Haines, they thought the burden could be eased by phasing in the program over two years. "If we decided to do it now and weren't going to do it until 1983. it would give a lot of lead time for people to prepare for it,” Councilman David Jasperse (Fourth Ward) said. Guenther, who attended the council meeting with Miller, pointed out that the schools did not pay back the last of the borrowed money until last month. "We may have realized an additional $60,000 by investing ourselves." Guenther said. He added that the schools had a difficult time borrowing last summer because of a 12 percent interest rate ceiling imposed on the schools by the state. Howe added that a complaint they hear at City Hall is that the biggest property tax burden is in the winter right after Christmas. Guenther said that legislation is currently in the state House of Representatives which will allow local school districts to request summer tax collections by local units of government. The Michigan Townships Association opposes that legislation, he said. If the local governments refuse the request he explained, the legislation would allow the schools to have the county treasurer collect the taxes, with the schools paying any collection expenses. “By going to summer collections, it would not be any loss for the city," Howe said. Gray said she had checked with three local financial institutions, who said they would not have any problems adjusting escrow accounts on mortgages to fit the new collection schedule. “Economically," she continued, "I think it's a legitimate case for the schools. I would like to see a detailed study of how it affects senior citizens and low income properly owners." Councilman William Cusack (Second Ward) said the proposal deserved sume in depth study. He suggested that the changeover be set up so that taxpayers would pay only half the school tax in the summer of 1983, then the full tax in the summer of 1984. “This may help gel over the impact of it,” Cusack said. Howe suggested that the request be referred to the council's Finance Committee, which would be allowed to appoint or refer it to a citizens committee for further study. The council followed that suggestion. A recommendation is due back by July 1 The council also received a letter from the Hastings Branch of the American Association of University Women supporting the proposal. Continued on page 7 Parking violations of downtown workers draw fire at City Council by Robert J. Johnston The parking practices of downtown workers who use the free lots behind the stores for all day parking drew fire from some members of the Hastings City Council. Monday. Councilman William Cusack (Second Ward) said he had received some complaints from business people about the people who work downtown misusing the city parking lots. He was told, he said, that in the lot behind the JCPenney store, only four spaces opened up al! day long, one day. The free lots are posted for two hour parking. "Most merchants park elsewhere or rent spaces to leave those lots open for customers." Cusack said. He suggested that the best solution might be to put meters back into those lots. “This is something that has to be corrected." he continued. "The people that came to me . are sick and tired of people abusing the lots." Councilman David Jasperse (Fourth Ward) pointed out that the salary of one policeman is paid out of the parking receipts. “That policeman is supposed to be policing the lot." Jasperse said. Several council members contended that when the meters were taken out of the lots, the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce agreed to help keep downtown workers from parking there. Mayor Kenneth J. Howe said that since the first of the year the Police Department has been giving better coverage of downtown parking and foot patrols. “The lots are difficult to police." Howe said. Cusack responded that he was not faulting the police for the problem Mark G Steinfort. who took (nor as police chief in December, said Wednesday that officers will be policing those lots once or twice a week. Officers will mark the tires of parked cars with chalk and then return several hours later to ticket cars still parked there. "Some of those people even come out and move to a different spot or move (their cars) a foot or so," Steinfort said. The new chief said that until the first of December, the department had downtown meter enforcement only on Fridays and never touched the lots. He said that he had already started using the policeman paid from the parking revenues to patrol the parking areas. “His duties include policing meters and maintenance of the meters," Steinfort continued. "Sometimes we use him for the dispatcher goes to lunch, but not very often. Probably 90 percent of his time is on parking." Previously, the chief said the parking officer was used on parking only about four hours a week. “I think just enforcing the two hour limit will take care of part of the problem,” Steinfort continued. “Some people will probably just take the parking tickets. It s the same problem we have with the meters. Some people think they are a lot better than everybody else." He said that the problem was like a lot of other problems where five or ten percent of the people ruin it for everybody else. “What they are doing is just taking up parking lots for their customers." he con­ tinued. “Then they turn around and com­ plain about them going to Grand Rapids. One insurance company in town thinks it’s their right to park in front of their place. The stores around them need those spaces. Steinfort said that he felt installing meters in the lots would be too expensive because new meters would cost about $100 apiece. Some of the old meters from the lots are in storage, he continued, but are not in good condition. Many of the casings for the old meters are being used for meters on the streets, he said. Jasperse said Wednesday that he thought it would be more useful to forget about any agreement with the Chamber of Commerce made when the meters were taken out. “If the problem is that the merchants and employees are parking there." he said, "then my suggestion is that the chamber members apply pressure rather than pulling the meters back in. I don't think meters are going to solve that particular problem In front of the stores, they just go out and feed them (all day)." The council referred the problem to its Public Safely and Parking Committee for farther study. 8:00 A.M. Cars begin to appear on the City Parking Lot. 9:00 A.M.

When they left Woodland, they headed for Florida, but in the back of his mind was the plan to try to locate the graves of a couple of Woodland men who gave their lives for their country and were buried in military cemeteries in the southland. The first one was Horace Smoke, who lived on the land where the Lakewood High School now stands. He was a private in the Sth Michigan Division and lost his life in battle on August 24. 1864. Smoke was a distant relative of Tom’s — something like Tom's mother's great-grandmother ’s sister’s son. Although there are some 12,000 northerners buried in the cemetery at Andersonville, Ga.. north of Americus, this soldier’s name was listed and so well and complete are the records kept that the grave was easily located and they visited it. History has recorded what a terrible place Andersonville was. Located as it was, surrounded on all the sides by the enemy, escape was impossible and any attempt was suicide. There was nothing good about the prison at Andersonville but one of the worst things about it was the extreme scarcity of waler. The extreme heat there increased the awful suffering due to the lack of water and the great army of prisoners united in prayer and asked God for water In the night, a severe thunderstorm came up and lightning struck the ground inside the prison and enclosure and tore a great hole in the earth from which a large spring sprang up and the men there had an abundance of water to supply their every need — and that spring is still flowing. The Niethamers went on to Florida and spent a week with John and Opal Booher at Lavell, near Fort Myers. From here they got tc visit many places of interest, including Cape Canaveral where they saw the space shuttle on its pad at the Kennedy Air Space. After seeing the beautiful take-off of that shuttle on T.V. Monday, they wished they had stretched their vacation out another week so they could have witnessed this history making event. On their first step homeward bound, the Niethamers stopped near Bradenton and spent some time with another Woodland couple. Mr. and Mrs. Garold McMillen.

"But it shouldn't make a difference, as long as you pay them.” to the Editor: "Thou shall not kill" is cried out by those who oppose the death penalty. They say, “it’s in the Bible". They are so right, it’s in the Bible. Before we single out any one verse in the Bible and understand it, there are three things we must know. (1) "Who’s doing the talking". (2) "Who's he talking to", (3) "What’s he talking about". The only factual roots we have on this subject is to back into the Holy Bible. God is the greatest teacher on this subject. The death penalty is taught under two different subjects. • 1) "The soul of man", <2) "The flesh of man". The subject under discussion here is "the flesh of man" Exodus 20:13. "Thous shall not kill" is as holy and true today as the day it was given. Ever since Cain killed Abel. (Gen 4) people have continued to kill God was talking to Moses about the social life of Israel, and through Moses. God placed the 10 com­ mandments. which one of them was "Thou shalt not kill" before Israel and applied it to each and every individual, and it su ap­ plies to each of us today. Reading on to the next chapter, 21. we find the death penalty given as a judgement to be administered only by the leaders and rulers governing the social life of Israel, and was not given to the individual. Therefore, the two laws given by God, "one to kill", the other “not to kill" in no way contradict each other. Jesus Christ was crucified under the death penalty Not one lime did He. or any of His disciples criticize the law. saying it was unjust and should be abolished - even though an innocent life had been taken. The Apostle Paul also faced with the death penalty. (Acts 25) said. "For if I be an of­ fender. or have committed anything worthy of death, I refuse not to die". Paul put his approval upon the death penally by saying he was ready to die for the cause - if found guilty. Romans 13 teaches the death penalty by the sword, which was most generally used in that day, and plainly says our governments are the ordinance of God and are ordained by God. God was referring to the death penalty when He said (Rev 13’ “he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword". In time of war we unhesitatingly kill those we classify as "enemies of our society". Very few will disagree with the need to do so. Yet. within our own country we pet and coddle the cold blooded killers. Attorneys defending the criminals in court will cry out, “innocent- by reason cf in­ sanity”. God said. (Jeremiah 5:26) “For among my people are found wicked men. they lay wail, as he that setteth snares; they sgt a trap, they catch men”. This nation is faced with wickedness and not insanity. What do we do with the wicked? Life imprisonment at the most - good food, shelter and clothing - good chance of pardon, parole, maybe escape to continue his life of crime leaving a trail of destruction time and time again - leaving their victims bloody, suf­ fering, widowed, orphaned, raped, crippled, and heart-broken for life - while they themselves get the best of care at the ex­ pense of the taxpayer. When a person is brought to court, found guilty and sentenced to be executed, it's not the one individual that throws the switch that kills him. it's the government body that takes the life by it's authority to carry out and administer the death penalty. To oppose the death penalty we can not use “Thoushalt not kill” found in the Bible, for it simply has nothing whatsoever to do with it. Lawton Home 505 Harrington Rd. Delton, Michigan Letters, continued on page 5 �The Hastings Banner, Thursday March 25,1982 ■ Page 3 County court wins appeal in suit against state department by Robert .1. Johnston Barn- County Probate Court won another battle, last week, in its light against the Michigan Department of Social Services <DSS), which is trying to license its juvenile division under the states Child Care Organization Act. Local officials believe their fight upholds the separation of the executive, legislative and judicial branches of government as outlined m the state constitution. Thursday, the Michigan Court of Appeals upheld the Circuit Court findings of Judge Hudson Deming that the juvenile divisions of Probate Courts are not "child placing agencies" or “child care organizations" and cannot be regulated by the DSS. "It s not just a Barry County court mat­ ter." Probate Judge Richard Loughrin said. "This is something ’.hat affects all of the juvenile courts in Michigan.' •Loughrih said the DSS was trying to set down "far reaching rules" to obtain "utter control" of the juvenile courts "Obviously. I think the Court of Appeals made the right decision." James Fisher, attorney for the Probate Court, said. Fisher, a former Barry County prosecutor who is now a partner in the Hastings firm of Siegel, Hudson. Gee. Shaw and Fisher, volunteered to take the case to court on behalf of the Probate Court. The Appeals Courts said that an earlier court decision < Erlandson v Retirement Commission. specifically excluded legislative and judicial branches of slate government from the definition of agency. “The Juvenile Division of the Probate Court is a judicial branch of government and therefore not an agency." the Appeals Court opinion said "Since the juvenile division is not an agency, the Legislature did not intend to include it within the definition of ‘child placing agency ." The court also said that the Probate Court is not a "child care organization" because its prinicipal function was not receiving minor children, which is a requirement under the law. Il also said that the legislature did not intend the Probate Court to be included in the 1973 act giving the DSS power to regulate "child care organizations" In 1980. the DSS wrote new regulations for child care organizations which were ex­ panded to include juvenile courts. That move prompted the Probate Court action Those rules specify how the programs are to be run. what sort of people can be hired, the caseload size, the number supervisors for a given number of staff, and oilier things. Robert Nida. Probate Court administrator, explained at the time the suit was filed. After the Barry County Probate Court filed its suit against the DSS. it was joined in the action by the Michigan Probate and Juvenile Court Judges Association. Loughrin said that no other court in the state was taking action against the DSS. so they went ahead with the local suit. The state judges association hired Professor William Downs of the University of Detroit Law School as its legal counsel in the suit. Loughrin said that Downs has written the only book on the juvenile code ir Michigan and is a former state court ad­ ministrator. which is the administrative arm of the state Supreme Court. "Fisher did the initial hard work," Loughrin said. "Together, they made an excellent legal team." The Appeals Court said that because the Child Care Organization Act did not apply to probate courts, they did not rule on the question of whether the act violates the state constitution "It doesn't surprise me that they didn’t touch on the constitutional issue.' Fisher commented. "Courts in general will first try to decide a case on non-constitutional grounds if possible In interpreting the legislation involved, they found the (probate and juvenile) courts were not child placing agencies. Once that was decided, they didn't have to go on to the co istitutional issue." Fisher said that he took the case without charge to the Probate Court because he agreed philosophically with the principle that too many decisions are being taken away from local government; too much power is usurped by the state and federal government. "The legislature or Congress passes a law and then some administrative agency lends its own interpretation to it," Fisher con­ tinued. “Local control and local authority are eroded; all of the power goes to the central government. It also means that it is less likely that we are going to have in­ novation al the local level and less likely that we are going to have local people making local decisions." Fisher charged that the basic philosophy of the DSS is that having a lot of rules that people are forced to follow and a lol of reports that people fill out is going to result in better child care. "You could argue almost the opposite." Fisher continued. “The people involved spend more time filling out reports, com­ plying with regulations and less time working with children." He said that the local juvenile court has distinguished itself with innovative programs and ideas. “If the were controlled more by the state. they might not have the freedom to do these thing." Fisher said. William Basinger, the assistant attorney genera) who argued the case for the DSS. said Wednesday that he did not know whether an appeal would be filed with the Supreme Court. "The court has apparently accepted the statuatory interpretation of the plaintiffs rather than ours.' Basinger said. The DSS will decide next week whether to appeal, he said. Commenting on the involvement of Downs and the state association, Fisher said that he thought it was helpful to have someone ex­ pressing the viewpoint of the entire probate judges association, rather than just one court "I'm poud of the fact that we took the initiative to get going." he said. "No one in the probate judges association seemed to be doii g anything until we took the initative to file suit." Loughrin said the case was an important matter because the DSS was al tempting by rule making to change the statuatory law. "They were attempting to include the juvenile court as a child placing agency when the statute and law was otherwise, and they had to be told." he said. Care Organization Act. the DSS regulations for funding under the act also did not apply to the Probate Court. Nida said that for the past several years the DSS. the Juvenile Court and some private agencies have all had the authority to certify foster care homes. “Each agency serves a different kind of child." Nida continued. "We deal primarily with teenage delinquents, while the DSS looks for homes for young children, usually neglect cases." In some cases, he added, both the court and the DSS would share the same home POLICE REPORT 29-year-old Nashville man may have died while driving by Greg Johnson A 29-year-old Nashville man was pronounced dead at Leila Hospital in Battle Creek Tuesday morning, after he apparently died while driving on M-66 near Huff Rd.

Wood was the "bathing suit" model as he showed off the diving suit used by the county dive team. Models in the Republicans' fashion show take a final bow. Barry County Republicans held their own Easter Parade. Tuesday when they modelled the latest fashions for men. women and children at the fundraising fashion show in Leoson Sharpe Memorial Hall. The county’s two Republican leaders were dressed in their finest for this pose. Wendell Strickland party chairman, is shown with Kathryn Ferris, president of the Republican Women s Club. In its case, the DSS also argued that the Circuit Court erred in ordering that ti«e Barry County Probate Court continue to receive funding from the state after it refused to comply with a DSS request to submit an application as a child placing agency. Instead of complying with the request, the local court filed suit against the DSS. The Appeals Court, citing several precedents, ruled that the Circuit Court had the power to issue an injunction prohibiting the DSS from terminating funding. The Appeals Court also ruled that since the Probate Court did not fall under the Child Leoson Sharpe Memorial Hall was filled with spectators for the fundraising fashion show. (Bonner photos) A public hearing will be held Thursday. April 1 on the proposed Alternatives section of Barry County’s Solid Waste Management Plan. The hearing starts al 7:30 p.m. in the Barry-Ealon District Health Department in Hastings. Several small changes have been made in the alternative section of the plan and the county’s solid waste committee has called for the hearing. Members of the public who wish to study and make comments on the proposed alternatives can review the relevant documents at the health department during regular business hours. Comments may be made directly at the April 1 hearing or submitted in writing before that date at the health department, in care of V. Harry Adrounie. committee chairman The Alternatives section of the plan in­ volves seven component phases of the solid waste stream and suggests alternatives for each. The seven phases are the generation of solid waste, pre-collection. collection, transportation, processing, disposal and administration. Subject to.public scrutiny and comment, the plan presently includes two sets of short range alternatives for the next five years and two sets of long range county alternatives as to the options that may be viable over a 20year lime period. It also includes two sets of long range regional alternatives. The first set of short range alternatives, under S-l, is a reflection of the present situation in the county. The second set of short range alternatives <S-2) contains suggestions which may enhance the present system over the short term. • The first set of long range regional alternatives suggests options that may be available through a combination of technology like resource recovery, recycling, and incineration, etc. if Barry County joins with other counties to address solid waste management. The second set of long range regional alternatives reflects the options available if— a major incineration plan under study in Calhoun and Kalamazoo counties is put into operation. In compiling the proposed solid waste alternatives, members of the committee have studied estimates of solid wastes generated in the county It is estimated that 205.456 pounds of solid waste are generated per day in the county. That amount equals 102.7 tons per day. based on per capita averages of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and confirmed through surveys of industries and gamgrounds in the county last year. According to the estimates, each person in the residential population of the county contributes 2.9 pounds of solid waste per day. Based on a population of 45,781. the daily residential amount of solid waste totals 132,765 pounds. Commercial sectors generate 17,204 pounds per day, according to die estimate; while industrial areas in the county con­ tribute 50.527 pounds per day. The estimate lists county campgrounds as generating 525 pounds per day; government. 2,483 pounds per day, hospitals. 1,690. construction, 151, and lumber and wood. 111. The committee noted that the composition of waste varies from one household to another and from one landfill to another. Several other communities were compared to estimate the composition of Barry’s waste stream. Some of the county's data is based on information obtained from Cass County, the study area judged to be most like BarryCounty in population and land use. Also noted by the commit tee is the fact that much of the material in Barry's landfills could become marketable material in the future. These materials include newsprint, plastic, wood, glass, ferrous, aluminum, and other wastes. A low participation recycling program is estimated to reduce total waste by 14.6 percent — saving daily burial of 1.26 tons of newspaper. 4.7 tons of corrugated card­ board, .4 tons of office paper. .85 tons of glass. 2.2 tons of metal and 7.78 tons of organic wastes. Based on future population estimates, the committee has estimated that the volume of solid waste is expected to jump from the present 205,456 pounds per day to between 248.602-271.202 pounds per day in the year 2000.

(Banner photo) �The Hastings Banner, Thursday March 25,1982 ■ Page 5 VISITING AN OLD HOUSE This photo depicts o resemblence to the type ot house Marguerite Stcutter writes about in the accompanying story. Tl e photo was loaned through the ot Gordon Barlow. Although remodeled now. the house still stands in Hostings. by Marguerite Stauffer I was out driving one lovely Sunday af­ ternoon in the early part of September, with no particular destination in mind, when I came to a fork in the road. In a short time I was idling past an old house. I stopped, looked at the house, and at a second glance I knew it was the house I had heard so much about. The stories of things that had happened in this old house and had. been giveii to me so many times and in such detail, that I hardly waited until the car had come to a complete stop, when I jumped out and made my vay toward the door. It was a big old-fashioned, wood colored house, close to a hundred years old, and long ago deserted by man. It was built in the style of the day, with the usual upright, a right wing and a later added kitchen. Large, comfortable porches had been built on three sides of it. One on the front, which overlooked the road and a small stream, which curiously wound its way through the spacious front yard There were porches on both sides of the kitchen, one which led to the barn, and the other was used to do the family wash on and to store the seed corn during the fall. I walked slowly toward the house and tn my mind I could see Jonathan and Martha, their three children,- John, Matilda and Margaret the baby, along with some of the aunts and uncles who were visiting for the day, enjoying themselves on the front porch. It was so real I could almost hear their voices and merry laughs as they talked about how many teeth cousin Mary’s baby had; the latest recipe for strawberry preserves which had been sent by cousin Anne from Virginia; the prospects of the corn crop and other so white one would think it was painted, for the mistress of this house had learned by heart the knack of neat housekeeping. Many a day she busiea herself by cleaning her house when the cold winds filled in the loads, and sometimes it was montlis that she saw no one except the mebers of her own family. There were two doors near the stove: one led<o the well-filled woodshed, and the other to the equally well-filled pantry and cellar. As I walked into the pantry, in my mind’s eye I coulJ see row after row of jams, jellies and marmalades along with some earthen fruit jars. On the top shelf were many boxes and cans of dried com, apples, berries and pumpkins, a method o.* preserving food used by the pioneer people. 1 opened the door and made my way cautiously into a Michigan cellar, where on some hooks still hung a hand-made bool jack used by Jonathan to pull off his heavy leather boots: beside it hung a miniature one .used byJohn for his copper-toed boots. As I gazed around the wall, a few other old relics came in sight. There was an old candle mold, a flint lock gun and powder horn, a part of an old spinning' wheel and an old candle lantern. Back up into the kitchen I retraced my steps back through the dining room into the parlor where once lay the brown and tan ingrain carpet that 1 had heard about so many times; of how twice a year it was taken up, cleaned, and put back on the floor with a layer of straw beneath it. In this room must have stood the walnut what-not which held all the shells and figures which came from an ok! sea captain, a friehd of the family. In this room too must have stood the marble-top table which had belonged to Aunt Maggie and had been brought from York state nearly a hundred years ago. Oh, here are the beautiful open stairs, W|iere both oom Matilda Mainau and ana Margaret margaret um-cuum where descended S on the wedding day to be received by their future husbands, Lewis and Oscar Manners, two neighbor boys who had been childhood sweethearts of the girls. Somewhere in this room was the bldfashioned organ, around which many a happy evening was spent when the young people of the neighborhood gathered to have a singing school, taffy pull or a party; cider and doughnuts was the usual refreshment with once in a while, popcorn and warm maple sugar. On top of the organ sat the plush covered family album and the mat- Md the dog On theopposite side of the room must have stood the old-fashioned maple sideboa which held Martha s shining silver, sparkling glass and china, as well as the spotless white linens. u>ed only on specia! occasions. On a shelf built nearly around the room. I could see the much treasured and ever talked about hundred piece set of Blue Willow ware which dated back to 1821. They now stood in each of the homes of the three children and were almost reverentially displayed as antiques which belonged to Mother, and had been shipped directly from England., On the floor 1 could see a beautiful rag rug woven in a hit and miss pattern, the rags having been sewn by an aged grandmother who had stayed with the family during one winter. The door to the kitchen was ajar and silently 1 stepped into what must have been a delightful and coty room There were win­ dows to both the east and vzest were sunrises and sunsets must have been enjoyed by the mistress of the house. At both of the windows I could imagine the homemade muslin curtains with their calico trim intermingled with the green and red of the houseplants that were so carefully tended On the south end of the kitchen, next to the woodshed, stood the big. black range, one of the first in the neighborhood 1 believe I can see Martha and the iwo girls industriously making tallow caniSes to be used during the dark months of winter. The kitchen floor was bare, but scrubbed *500°° reward For any Information loading to th* arrest and conviction of person or persons who re­ moved or removing ..own wood of ony amount, without written permission from owner Sh.rley Fa* Xoiser.

S t““> 616-948-8986 Ask for Ron Harriman mgr TO THE EDITOR: According to a recent report in- your newspaper, there have been some questions raised in your area about the safety of portable kerosene heaters. Since the modern, safety-tested kerosene healers that are available today are sometimes confused with the old-style ‘‘pot-burners’’ popular 20 or 30 years ago. our client. Kero-Sun. Ind., would like to offer the following information on new generation portable kerosene heaters. Fire safety: Today’s new generation portable kerosene heater; meet stringent safety standards and many liave been tested and listed by Underwriters' Laboratories, a nationally recognized testing service. To be sure a particular model has adequate safety features, here are some things consumers should look for when buying a heater: UL listing mark; automatic shut-off device that puts out the flame If the heater is tipped or jarred; wide base to make tipovers unlikely; wick-fed. unpressurized fuel supply so that if the flame goes out fuel will not continue to feed; push-button lighting device that eliminates the need for matches; burner design that provides such complete com­ bustion that there are virtually no unburned fuel emissions, no odor or smoke when operated according to manufacturer's in­ structions. Oxygen depletion carbon .monoxide emissions: some heaters are 99.9 percent efficient, or harmful combustion byproducts. UL-listed heaters meet very stringent standards for carbon monoxide emissions. According to Underwriters’ Laboratories, the amount of carbon monoxide produced by a heater rated at 10,000 ETU-hr. is less than that produced by a single burner on a gas cooking range. UL also reports that an average size room needs one complete change of air every 12 hours jn order not to significantly deplete the oxygen level. However, they have found that in most residential homes, the air is recirculated about every 14 hours. Fuel quality and availability: water-clear kerosene only is recommended. Most dealers either handle water-clear kerosene or know of a good local source. Consumer misuse: kerosene heater, like kitchen appliances and power tools, offer consumers substantial time - and money saving benefits and pose no significant hazard provided they are operated according to the manufacturer's instructions. In fact, they may be considered life-saving ap­ pliances in emergency situations. Sincerely. Roseann Desio Account Executive ____________ topics of the day.

This room, perhaps, brings the clearest picture to me. for many a lime have I heard Martha tell about how the wall was papered with tiny bunches of rosebuds and for-getme-nots, the handmade, tufted quilt of while lawn, and tied with wooly pink yam. Cur­ tains and dresser scarf were made to match. The floor had been covered with a rag rug made from blue and pink muslin which had been colored in an old wooden tub. It was in this room that all three of Mar­ tha's children were brought into the world, with the help of a kindly neighbor lady. She had come several miles in the middle of the night, whether it be snow or rain, for she was the doctor and nurse of that day, and Mar­ tha’s nearest neighbor and friend. Oh! What was that? Could it have been the old grandfather s clock that stood at the head of the stairs? No. My imagination is getting the better of me. but it is getting dark. My, how the time did fly.

Martha had a very good memory because the stories of the old house had been so vividly told that it was with no difficulty that I could see the house as it was lived in by Martha and her family over fifty years ago.

Janette Arnold, Township Clerk �The Hastings Banner, Thursday March 25,1982 - Page 7 Barry County Sheriff Department...more than just a law enforcement agency The Barn1 County Sheriff Department does more than just enforce state, county and local laws. Road patrol, investigations of criminal and civil complaints, educational programs and the operation of the county jail are just a Detective Sgt. Kenneth DeMott in charge of the detective bureau at the county Sheriff Department. Charlton Park, continued Edward C. Golnek, C83 Sundago Park, the man whe contacted LeBeuf, said that the access road for such a project would run right behind his house. "Every year that land back there eats water in the spring," he said. "If they put a road in there, where will the water go?” Doug Kessler, C41 Sundagc Park, said he thought that any more expansion by the park would be foolish. "They' have a hard time controlling what they have now," he said. Fred Wilcox. C43 Sundago Park, then took the floor to explain reasons why the Sundago Park Association does not want a cam­ pground. He mentioned traffic problems, pedestrian problems, a larger number of speed boats, less fishing, noise, pollution, and the impact a campground might have on the en­ vironment. Dale Ossenheimer Jr., 6091 Assyria Rd., Nashville, said he grew up in the area and knew Irving Charlton, the park’s founder. "A campground would not be in the best interest philosophically, of what he intended for that land,” Ossenheimer said. "1 think that has to be a strong consideration in this decision." Kessler warned that if the zoning change was made, the campground would be shoved "right down our throats". Ed Golnek Jr., stood up and told the commission to leave the zone the way it is. Poll said they want it for one thing, to put in a campground. "Don’t let tham get away with a un­ derhanded manuever like this,” Poll said. Harriman closed the oppositions com­ ments with a question. "Is there any chance at all, that all of us didn’t waste our time coming here?” Woods asked if any members of the audience wanted to speak in favor of the zoning request. McPharlin took the floor and reminded the audience that the meeting was a zoning hearing. "This is just one step, a recommendation. You will have to come back to a hearing (in front of County Commission) like this again anyway," he said. "That is the place for you to make known your opposition.” sample of the services provided by the department. Like other local law enforcement agencies, the department is involved in the protection of life and property by enforcing the law, handling various emergencies, investigating crimes and traffic accidents. Clerk typist Iris Loftus works at her desk across from the front counter. The department is active in marine law enforcement and its marine department has a dive team for water-related emergencies. The marine safety program is one of many educational services provided by the department. Due to budget cutbacks, the department no longer had a full time marine officer during the summer. The marine department will be continued this summer with two local schoolteachers assisting in carrying out the the program, said Barry County Sheriff David O. Wood. Marine safely and enforcement were the responsibilities of Sheriff Wood, when he started with the department in the summer of 1966 as marine sergeant. "Each year, for about 10 years, I was on the lakes during the summer and on the road during the winter,’’ Wood said. Wood was promoted to undersheriff in 1972 and became sheriff two years later. When he became sheriff, Sgt. Gerald R. Smith took over as marine segreant and as crime prevention officer. Now, with Sgt. Smith on the road, Wood has resumed tne duties of marine safety and other educational programs such as crime prevention and drug education. As sheriff, Wood's duties include ad­ ministration, personnel management and public relations. Wood is also a member of the Community Fund committee and the Barry CountyRound Table, which meets once a month and deals with juvenile problems. (Banner photos) A few minutes and comments from the audience later, and the hearing part of the evening was over. Three minutes later Woods called the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting to order and after a decision dealing with zoning south of Hastings for a new industry, Woods gave his chair away to commission member Regina Stein so that he could offer personal com­ ments on the Charlton Park zoning. He suggested that R-2 to AR may not be the best choice for the land in question, and that CR (conservation reserve district) might be a better specification. Ms. Stein then gave the chair back to Woods and chastised the audience for makirig remarks like "underhanded” about the county officials. The commission then voted on a motion to deny the zoning request and it passed by a Summer taxes, continued (For citizen comment on the proposal, see this week’s Public Opinion interviews, elsewhere in this issue.) The council rejected a request submitted by Athletic Amusements, Inc. of Hastings to hold a carnival on behalf of the Hastings High School Athletic Boosers in the city parking lot adjacent to the Moose Lodge on April 14, 15 and 16. Phil Hilliker, president of the firm, said rides for the carnival would be furnished by­ Schmidt Amusements. Schmidt Amusements would carry liability insurance with the city also insured, Hilliker said. The council rejected the request because they said the letter did not provide enough information. "I’m not too keen on it," Councilman Gordon Fuhr (Third Ward) said. "If all the money went to the boosters, it would be different." In addition to a lack of information, council members said they were concerned about the city’s liability status. The council approved an extension requested by the Finance Committee for submitting the 1982-83 budget. The city charter requires that the budget be presented al the first meeting in April, but Councilwoman Mary Spackman (First Ward), chairman of the Finance Committee, said they would not have revenue figure from the Board of Review in time to meet the deadline.

The commission’s decision to deny the request now serves as a recommendation to the Barry County Board of Commissioners With the recommendation, the Planning and Zoning Commission will inform the County Commission that CR tnight be a better zoning specification for the section of Charlton Park. Under CR, a campground would not be allowed on a special use permit. While the Planning and Zoning Com­ mission wrapped up their business inside, a small group of citizens gathered outside to talk. Ossenheimer warned them that the decision is only a recommendation and that the Board of Commissioners could ignore it. "We have to keep an eye on it. We can’t let it happen." he concluded.

Over 200 people attend services Autopsy confirms Dowling mail carrier drowned by Greg Johnson A preliminary autopsy confirmed that Bernadine Lorraine Powell, 57, a Dowling mail carrier, drowned after her car plunged into the swollen waters of Mud Creex Thursday, Barry County Sheriffs Deputies reported. Mrs. Powell, of 700 East Pifer Rd., was about two thirds of the way finished with her rural mail route when she lost control of her car and swerved off Bird Road into the creek near a culvert. Her body was found about 60 feet downstream on the opposite side of the read. She was transported from the scene by the Bedford Rescue Squad, and pronounced dead on arrival at Pennock Hospital in Hastings. A large crowd of over 200 people stood on the porch outside and lined the chapel at Vogt Funeral Home in Nashville, Monday, to witness services. “She never knew how many friends she had,” Dowling Postmaster Julie Bennett said. “We have lots of phone calls and people have come by the office to express their feelings.” "She knew everybody and liked to talk to them," Ms. Bennett added. "She was an excellent rural carrier.” Deputies believe that once in the water, Mrs. Powell got out of the passenger side of the car, a driving side in her Ford Granada mail car, but was swept up by the strong current that funnels into a culvert under the road. Flood waters caused by recent rains and the melting of winter snow had raised the water level to about six feet, Deputies estimated "The water is pretty deep and the current is swift in there,” CpI. Jerry Luedecking of the Sheriff’s Department’s dive team said at the scene. "If this happened at a different time of the year, she probably would not have died.” Cpl George Howell of the Sheriff’s. Department, the first officer to arrive on the scene, said tracks in the dirt road revealed she might have lost control of the car. "The tracks show the car went off the west side and then clear back over off the east side into the water,” Howell said. He estimated that the car travelled 82 feet straight from the tracks off the east side of the road to the creek. Gordon Stevens. 11450 Hutchinson Rd., found Mrs. Powell's body, and Howell pulled her from the creek. Mary Inman, a cook at Pleasantview Elementary School in Lacey, discovered the car in the creek when driving over the culvert and notified police. Ms. Bennett said that most of the mail lost in the accident has been recovered and delivered to residents. The 62-mile route that services 488 families, the lone rural route out of the Dowling office, is being handled by a sub­ stitute rural carrier. Ms. Bennett said that Mrs. Powell was a substitute carrier from 1969 to 1975, and had been the full time carrier with an excellent employment record since January of 1975. "People in the community are quite shaken up by it,” she said. “A few are upset because there is no guard rails there. Most are just sad because they remember her as a nice lady.” Mrs. Powell, the former Bernadine Hazen, was born in Hastings and had resided in the area all her life. She married Robert Powell, who survives her, on March 11, 1944 in Hastings. Other survivors include her daughter, Mrs. Parker (Christine) Ervvay, of Mill Lake; two grandchildren; and her mother Mrs. Marie Hazen of Nashville. Buriel was at Wilcox Cemetery, Nashville. Cpl.

"We are going with the basics like baseballs and bats for the baseball teams, ar.d that is it." Fund raising by a special group of boosters provided funds for the fall and winter program and are doing the same this spring. Last year each sport held it’s own in­ dividual fund raising, but this year the athletic program op’ed for a one-for-all fund raising design. "We are struggling but the teams are out there and the coaches are paid under con­ tract," Karpinksi said. • Because of the new all-for-one design girl’s golf has returned after a one year absence. The teams that will be in the program this spring in addition to girl’s golf are, varsity boy's baseball, junior varsity boy's baseball, boy’s track, boy's tennis, girl’s track, girl’s varsity softball and girl's junior varsity softball. The boy’s tennis squad, coached by Tom Freridge, will have a 13 date season in­ cluding tournaments. Six home matches are on the schedule. The girl's golf squad will be coached by Bob Carlson. They have a 12 date schedule including six home matches. Boy's track will be headed by a Coach Don Folmar, also the varsity football mentor. The thinclads will run on 11 dates, with five meets listed as home events. Girl's track will be under the watchful eye of Pat Murphy. Her group of thinclads will ■’ompete on 11 dates, with four meets at Del Cotto gets honorable mention: Twin Valley ignores Saxons in all-league recognition home. The varsity girl's softball team will be waved around the bases by head coach Judy Anderson. Her squad will battle on 13 dates, nine of those at home. The junior varsity girl's softball squad is being directed by Jeff Corstange. His team will go head on with opponents on 12 dates, six of those home contests. The varsity boy's baseball squad will receive signals from Bernie Oom once again. They will play 17 games, nine at home, and host the district tournament The junior varsity boy’s baseball team will be bossed by Jeff Simpson. They will have 14 duels, six of them on home soil. All of the teams kick off their season the week of April 11-17. The Banner will publish a preview of all the athletic 'earns in Barry County, their schedules and pictures on April 8. You would have to read the fine print to find a Hastings Saxon on the Twin Valley All­ League basketball team. Only one Saxon, Steve Del Cotto, a senior forward, receiveci any recognition at all. He was one of five players receiving honorable mention. Hastings Coach Denny O’Mara wai disturbed that Del Cotto did not make the firstdr second teams of the honor squad, and that no other player on his team was recognized. The teams, voted on by the head coaches at each school, were picked Monday evening in Marshall, and announced Tuesday. "I have no idea why this happened," O'Mara said. "I put namesup for nomination Karpinski named all-star Hastings High School quaiterback John Karpinski has been named to the West team for the Michigan High School Coaches' Association all-star game in August.

During those days, the Hastings Local Council 3447 of Knights of Columbus will be selling tootsie rolls to help raise funds to assist the mentally retarded.

Howe's proclamation notes that there are 285,000 mentally retarded residents in the state and that in the past six years, the Knights of Columbus in Michigan have grossed over $3 million for the mentally retarded. In 1981, the Knights in the state raised about $757,000.

(Bann.r photo) Safety program makes Hastings Manufacturing employees richer A new safety program based on the days that pass without a time lost accident at Hastings Manufacturing Company is making one employee a week $50 richer. For the first lime in several yean., the company has made it through 75 days without an accident that kept a worker away from his job. Safety Director Dick McLaughlin announced Friday, and as long as the string continues, one employee a week will win $50 for knowing the correct amount of days Bonnie Wilson. 42. 1272 W. Sager Rd , a 19 year employee in the oil filter division, received a $50 United Slates Savings Bond, Friday, as the lucky winner of the week. Her employee number was picked in a drawing, and when she was asked the number of days without a lime lost accident, she responded correctly. “It is a way to keep the employees aware of safely." McLaughlin said. “The more awarness you create, the better your end result will be." The number is posted in several places throughout the complex of buildings, and McLaughlin said the $50 idea is creating a lot of interest. As of Friday the number was 82 days in the factory production bargaining unit of 350 employees. The company has 605 employees total, but only those in the production unit are involved in the time card drawings. Giving awards for such streaks is not a new idea McLaughlin said. "We give one $25 award when we pass 30 davs and one $50 when we pass 60 days." he explained. “But this is the first time we have done one a week." "Reaching this level is a big ac­ complishment. and we hope this new program pays off." McLaughlin said the safety programs are showing results. In the first three months of this year medical treatment cases in the unit are down 50 percent from the same three month periods of the previous two years Health Dept calendarBARRY OFFICE: 110 W.

Indigenous Indian music accompanied dances from the Andean regions of Peru and Bolivia for the first part of the presentation. A Bolivian member of the troupe introduced a variety of native instruments and sang for the students in Quechua, one of the main Indian languages of the Andes. In contrast, the second part of the program con­ sisted of Argentine folk dances and music. The costumes and music reflected the strong European influene in the Argentine culture as well as the gaucho (cowboy) tradition of the Pampas. The field trip was spon­ sored by the Spanish Club using profits from their various fund-ra.sers to pay for the bus, the driver, and members' tickets.

Stephen I. Johnson, president, said. "They have helped the company and helped us all a great deal. I never saw a time when they were not in­ terested in helping the company in every­ way possible." Aldrich started at Hastings Manufacturing in .June 1937 working in consignment in­ ventory control, a post he kept for five years. He went into the U.S. Navy in early 1942, serving as chief yeoman on a repair ship, a destroyer escort and for the final 12 months al an ammunition depot in Oklahoma. For health reasons, Aldrich moved to Arizona when he came out of the Navy in Dec. 1945, taking a leave of absence from Hastings Manufacturing. In Arizona he worked in purchasing for Goodyear Tire and Hubber and in traffic for the Santa Fe Railroad. He returned to Hastings Manufacturing in 1950 as assistant to the president. He became a director in 1966 and corporate secretary in 1967. Bom in Hastings on Feb. 6, 1920, he graduated from Hastings High School in 1937. He later completed courses through the University of Michigan and the University of Vol. 127, No. 13 Hastings, Michigan by Robert J. Johnston Price 20 Thursday, April 1,1982 Township annual meetings draw few residents...all seems quiet All seems quiet at the grass roots level in most townships in Barry County, if low at­ tendance at township annual meetings is used as n measuring stick. Fifteen of the sixteen townships in the county- hosted annual meetings in March, most of which were held last Saturday. Yankee Springs Township was the onlyexception because its annual meeting isn’t until the last of June to coincide with the end of its fiscal year which runs from July 1-June 30. Township officials in the 15 townships reported low attendance at annual meetings, with "audiences" ranging from as few as two (who aren’t even residents of Baltimore Township yet) to about 26 in Johnstown. Poor attendance al annual meetings is the trend, they said, unless there is an emotional jssue or problem brewing. "They don't come unless they have something to grip about," said one otlicial Consequently, officals m many of the townships concur that citizens must be satisfied with the way their town­ ships are functioning. A summary of each township's annual meetinr follows: ASSYRIA Nine citizens attended the two hour annual meeting in Assyria Township. Approval was given for proposed tentative expenditures of $115,540 for 1982-83 which includes costs of providing ambulance service and fire protection, last year, expenditures were set at $130,807. Ten percent salary increases were approved for the three top elected of­ ficials. bringing the supervisor’s salary to $3,967 and another $3,967 for assessing; and both ’he clerk's and treasurer’s salaries to $4,977 each. Several citizens discussed their wishes for the township to have its own zoning ordinance rather than come under the county’s. The board said it would check into the matter. BALTIMORE Baltimore Township’s meeting took less than an hour with two non-residents in at­ tendance. One citizen arrived just after the meeting had been adjourned. A proposed budget of $90,000, including ambulance and fire department expenses, for the coming year was discussed. The supervisor’s salary was increased from $7,500 to $8,000 and the treasurer's from $4,000 to $4,200 with an additional five peicent possible increase in six months. The clerk's salary will be in­ creased from $4,080 up to a possible $4,440, depending upon what she can earn without losing social security benefits, said Clerk Anna Cairns. Trustees pay remains the same al $25 per meeting or $50 fo. a full day. BARRY A proposed budget of $266,278. including police, ambulance sen-ice and fire protec­ tion. was approved was approved at Barry Township's meeting. About 15 citizens at tended the 24-hour session. Last year's budget was $245,795. Salary increases ot $500 each u ere granted to the supervisor who now­ will earn $12,500; the clerk. $8,700; and treasurer. $7,900. Trustees pay will remain at $35 per meeting. Barry Township will be asking voters to renew two mills for its police department and two mills for fire protection at the August primary . CARLTON In Carlton Township, seven residents attended the annual meeting where approval was given to a proposed general fund budget of $107,397 which does not include expenses for fire and ambulance. The meeting lasted about 75 minutes and each of the three lop elected officials received $500 salary in­ creases The supervisor now will receive $7,000, the treasurer, $4,500; and the clerk, $4,500. Trustees pay is the same at $30 per meeting. Voters in the township will be asked to renew 1.5 mills for fire protection al the August primary election. CASTLETON A proposed budget of $80,589 (including fire and ambulance costs) was approved by citizens for the coming year at Castleton Township's annual meeting which lasted about two hours on March 23. Last year's budget was about $79,000. Seven residents attended the meeting. Salary increases from $4,237 to $4,500 were granted to the clerk and treasurer. The supervisor’s pay will remain at $8,250. Each trustee receives $618 per year. Discussion included proposed work on Coat's Grove Rd, involving shared costs by four townships. Castleton's portion would be about $76,1)00 for just 2.9 miles of the road. HASTINGS Six persons attended the Hastings Township meeting, held for the first time in the museum of Charlton Park. The township hall has been moved there and will be readied for use this summer as a historic site as well as a working township building. Approval was granted by citizens for the tentative budget of $106,600 for the coming year, down from last year's budget of $110,578. Last year's budget included ex­ penses for buying land for the cemetery and related costs. No salary increases were granted, so the supervisor’s pay which in­ cludes assessing stay the same at $10,000; the clerk’s at $6,000; the treasurer at $5,000; and trustees at $35 per meeting. The town­ ship does not levy millage for services, but is hoping to get a half mill for roads from the county allocation board. Most of the town­ ships report that they are requesting '--mill from the county allocation board too. Discussion included worries that the stale will be cutting revenues to townships. HOPE Twelve residents attended Hope Town­ ship’s meeting which lasted for about two hours. A proposed budget of $219,037, in­ cluding fire, ambulance, cemetery, and road expenses, was approved by citizens. The clerk and treasurer were granted salary increases of $2,000 each, bringing their salaries to $7,000. The supervisor's pay will remain the same at $4,400 plus $7,200 for assessing. Trustees will still receive $30 per meeting. IRVING Five persons attended Irving Township’s hour-long meeting and granted approval to tentative expenditures of $37,595 for the coming year. Expenses for fire protection are in a separate budget and cost ap­ proximately $15,000 last year. Increases of $500 were approved for the treasurer and clerk who now will both make $4,500. The supervisor's pay will stay the same at $8,000. JOHNSTOWN Proposed expenditures of $144,930 for the coming year were approved at Johnstown's annual meeting with about 26 in attendance lor the two hour session. Last year’s budget of $192,814 included money for a new fire tarter. No salary increases were granded. The supervisor’s pay is $10,500, including assessing; the clerk’s, $6,150; and treasurer, $5,650. Discussion included adding new rules to the use of the township hall. Voters will be asked to renew a half-mil) for fire and a half­ mill for roads in the August primary. MAPLE GROVE About 15 attended Maple Grove Town-* ship’s meeting which lasted about two hours. A proposed general fund budget of $56,000 was approved by the citizens. In separate funds. $10,300 is earmarked for ambulance He was named a director of Hastings, Inc., the Canadian subsidiary, in 1962 and several years later became chief engineer and a director of Hastings Manufacturing. In 1967, he became president of Hastings, Inc. When Hastings Manufacturing purchased Douglas Corp, as a subsidiary, Thompson was named to the board of directors. For the past ten years, he has served as vicepresident of engineering for Hastings Manufacturing. Also a Hastings native, he was born on May 3, 1920. He graduated from Hastings High School in 1938, then worked for JCPenney until 1943. He and his wife. Dorothy, have one son, Eric, who runs an NAPA automobile parts store in Grand Rapids. Thompson is a past member of the Hastings Kiwanis Club and Hastings Jaycees.

No salary increases were given so the superxWor will continue to receive $4,400 as supervisor plus $1,500 for assessing; and the clerk and treasurer. $3,630 each. Trustees gel $600 per year. Rising properly taxes were discussed at the meeting and the consensus was that the extra proposed two percent increase for agricultural assessments was thought to be distributed unfairly in the county. Continued on page 8 Storm disrupts Nashville power Trees across electrical lines and lightning caused 34 Nashville area customers to lose power in Tuesday evening’s thunderstorm, William Mabin, Consumers Power company spokesman, said. Mabina said a total of 300 customers were out of power in Calhoun, Barry and Kent counties. A tree took down several stands of "primary" lines near the intersection of Kingsbury and Cloverdale roads, but no customers were affected, he said. Just north of Barry county, on 84th Street in Kent County. Mabin said several outages were reported. "We nad people reporting all night," he said. "The reports were scattered. People may not have known power was off for a couple of hours because it was night." Mabin said service had been restored to all customers Wednesday morning. At the time when the Michigan Depart­ ment of Natural Resources (DNR) says fire protection is most needed, the state agency has reversed its position on the amount of fire protection it will provide in Barry County. Tne DNR dropped its plan to pull its fire protection services out of Region 3, which includes Barry and Allegan counties, after the fire associations of the two counties said they wouldn’t fight wildfires on state land. “Springtime is by far the worst time for grass and brush fires," Art Sutton, DNR area forest fire supervisor, said “You get all of the dead and dry grass from the previous year and gel it all fluffed up and it burns just like tissue paper." Sutton said that brush fires in the springtime easily get out of control. “The burn barrel is the biggest offender — the rusty burn barrel with no lid on it,” he continued. "People light a fire, go in the house and look out and the fire is across the neighbor’s back field.” The fire official said that lids on burn barrels should have holes in them, but no larger than inch wide. He said the main thing was not to burn on windy days. Fires for things other than common household items require a burning permit, Sutton said. For questions contact the local fire department. Sutton said that the DNR will have its own operators for its firefighting equipment stored at the Barry State Game Area. “Key men" who are trained on the equipment but do not work for the DNR full-time will be activated when needed, he explained. "The fire departments will have no cost involved at all," he said. The DNR’s equipment was used tor 18 fires last year. The major change in the DNR’s fire protection is the loss of a fire officer in BarryCounty. Robert Erway. who held the post at the Yankee Spi ings field office for 16 years, has been transferred to the waterways division in Allegan County. “We've last a guy with a lot of expertise on the fire lines,” Sutton said. “Now we'll just have somebody who can operate the equipment." He said that the DNR’s firefighting budget has been cut by $640,000 in the past two years. Without the fire officer, the DNR will serve primarily as backup assistance to the fire departments, using a key man. Currently, Sutton said, only two or three key men are available in this area. “We'll try to gel more in Barry County," he said. "I would like to have at least ten." Even with the fire officer, Sutton said, the DNR served as a backup for the locJ departments the majority of the time. DNR equipment stored at the Barry State Game Area headquarters includes a tractor plow (a bulldozer with a plow on the back), a large four wheel drive pickup, with a water tark and a plow on the back, and a tilt bed trailer to haul the tractor plow. Hastings Fire Chief Roger Caris said that initially, the local fire associations were told the DNR would pull all fire suppression services from the area. After a few meetings with DNR officials, Caris continued, the DNR proposed to leave the equipment, but local departments would have to furnish the manpower, house the equipment, pay minor maintenance and fuels. The DNR would pay for the manpower. “This was still not satisfactory with us," Caris continued. "We felt that they should have all this responsibility seeing as now it was their's anyway, according to Public Act 329 of 1969." The fire associations of both counties are still urging people io contact their representatives and senators from state and federal governments to help stop budget cutting in fire protection. "Hopefully, if enough pressure is put on these people, maybe we can get our fire officers back also,” Caris said. Sutton said that unless the legislature allocated the funds, a fire officer would not be returned to Yankee Springs. Todd Automotive sold to Battle Creek chain The capital stock of Todd Automotive. 122 N. Jefferson, has been sold to Crumpton’s Auto Parts Inc , of Battle Creek, former owner Frank Fuhr said Wednesday. The name of the store, the services, em­ ployees and the hours will remain the same under the new owners. Fuhr said the store will be a subsidiary of Crumpton's, which has six other stores in southwestern Michigan. Three of their stores are in Battle Creek, two are in Kalamazoo and one is in Plainwell. Principal stock holders are Ed and Chuck Crumpton, Fuhr said. Todd Automotive has been in business in Hastings for 12 years. Before starting the business Fuhr worked for Hastings Manufacturing Company and Federal Mogul Corporation of Southfield.

Fuhr, who will remain working ,n the store on a short term basis, said ne sold the slock because of “personal reasons". President Reagan holds summit meeting in Hastings This is one of the men from Washington who met with city and county leaders this week HASTINGS—Ronald Reagan, the 40th president of the United States, held a summit meeting here today with local political allies Barry County Board Chairman Kenneth Radant and Mayor Kenneth J. Howe. Administration officials would not com­ ment on what was said in the meeting, but a source close to the President said they were not talking about the school board elections. In a speech later in the day at a Barry County Republican Women's Club luncheon. Reagan surprised the audience by telling them he was going to escalate spending and phase out all types of military related production. “After talking with Ken and Mayor Howe today. I realized that some changes need Io be made." Reagan told the crowd of over 11. “The national scene needs a Hastings look. Right now. we don't even know who is in charge in the White House." The President went on to say that govern­ ment is not big enough “I think a town this size should have 24 mayors. 400 City Council members and a whole bunch of folks on tne Drain Com­ mission." he said. “Red tape is what holds this country together. That and deficit spending." Reagan told the audience they should tie proud of their small town. “Hey. you have a train station, a Mc­ Donalds. a left handed mayor; what more could you ask for?" Reagan arrived in town about 1:45 a m today and after last call at the Tiki on Jefferson Street, he had break­ fast at Rena's Restaurant, 139 Court St. He came in on the "Midnight Special" of the Kent. Barry Eaton Connecting Railway, assuring the rail owners he would use all of his power to increase federal subsidy to the railroads. Reagan lunched with the Hastings High School cheerleaders at Burger Chef, using a two for one coupon from McDonalds. He signed autographs, told jokes to his security men and held the kitchen crewspellbound with stories about his film career. Following lunch he met with Mayor Howe and Mr. Radanl and then took a 30 second tour of Hastings before appearing at the Republican Women’s luncheon. Howe called today a landmark event in the history of Hastings. "Today will live in infamy.” the mayor said. "The President came to Hastings, and not one person took a sho’ at him." Radanl echoed Howe's sentiments. "Today will live in infamy." Radant said "The President came to Hastings, and not one person took a shot al him."

William Warner taught it for $15 per month in 1880. Here is encouragement for those who care for college in these times. I have been selfsupporting since 12 or 14 years of age. After the eighth grade. I worked on farms for six years before high school began for me. My pay was $1 or $1.50 per ten hour day. Entering high school, I paid $60 per year tuition, bought my own books, and furnished my own transportation by horse and buggy, on a dirt road of 12 miles a round trip. Of course, by starting high school at age 20 years, it was about ten years before I graduated at W'estern Michigan Teacher's College. You remark. "Education costs much more today." 1 remark, "Back in my youth, it look much more time and sweat to earn a dollar than it does today!" I am very glad that I didn’t rush through my education, for it was worth more to me. I wonder why little folks are pushed and rushed from childhood to adulthood now days.

Nothing will interfere with your plans to make this year's kite fly even higher and farther than last year's’ Well, almost nothing Electric wires and poles can ruin even the best-laid kite-flying plans, and pose a safely hazard that can result in serious injury as well Frank Johnson. Consumers Power Company's district manager in Battle Creek, is urging parents and school officials to warn youngsters of the dangers of flying kites near utility lines. "The majority of kite-flying accidents occur when a youngster attempts to disen­ tangle his kite from a tree or power line Accidents also happen when the flyer uses metallic or wet string which will conduct an electric current if it touches an electric line " According Io Johnson, the best way to avoid serious injury when kite flying is to follow some simple safety rules: <li use wood, paper or plastic in maid ng your kite avoid wire or metal.

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION: On April 1 a new law goes into effect requiring safety restraints for children under four years old traveling in automobiles. Now a law requiring adults to wear seat belts is being discussed. Would you support such a law? Why or why not? TO THE EDITOR: The Barry County Republican Womens Club would like to thank you so much for the publicity of all our events this year. We really appreciate the cooperation of all your staff. They are great. Kathryn Ferris, Chairman Barry County Republican Womens Club TO THE EDITOR: Church Women United, thank you for the articles that you publish in the Banner and Reminder. We feel the coverage of the 4 celebrations a year have helped in more churches joining C.W.U. Thank You Mrs. G. Percy TO THE EDITOR: AN OPEN LETTER TO BARKY COUNTY COMMISSIONERS: March is Agricultural Awareness Month and March 18 was Agricultural Day. This is a time to focus on the importance of agriculture to every citizen of this country. Agriculture is America’s Number 1 in­ dustry. It is also the Number 1 employer and consumer, either directly or indirectly. /ith our backs against the wall, where do we go from here? As farm assessments continue to climb higher and higher, we try to prepare our­ selves for spring plantings. Then, along comes the State Tax Commission Board, saying that agricultural land needs another two percent additional increse — over and above the 11 percent already tacked on this year. We believe this additional two percent increase is unfair due to the sales studies and the way the tax commission is approaching it. Soil types differ throughout the county. Mi Commmissioners. we are asking your support to revoke this additional two per­ cent. Again at a lime when farm prices are at 1930 prices for the products that we sell, our costs continue to escalate. It comes to the point of — how much can we stand? We are desperate which is evidenced by the number of farm sales taking place this spring. We will be watching you with great con­ cern on approaching this matter and hope you will tell the slate ax commission that they are using unfair approaches and our county cannot accept this increase. Thank you. Prairieville Township Farmers, Willis Aukerman, Jim Fish. Clare Lyons. Tom Guthrie, and Frank Sloneburner John Buursma Theodore Bird Reactions to this week’s question ran sy*ongiy pro-choice, that is. anti-law. Paul Brown of Hastings says he doesn't believe in forcing people to wear seat belts in their cars. "1 think the choice should be left to the individual. I've been on the fire department, and I've seen where wearing seatbelts could have killed a person if they had them on. And I think that many limes a person can escape faster from a wreck without the seatbelts." "It's a great law tor the kids. ’ says Denny Allen, who operates the Admiral station on Broadway "As far as a law requiring adults to wear restraints. I'm kind of in favor of having an adult make his own choice. Although it's been proven that seat belts will save your life." We welcome your comments and opinions!

Brandstetter (known os Brandy) was surprised and delighted to receive his "lost" high school diploma for his 88th birthday. Admiring the graduation certificate with him is daughter Ronnie Cove. (Bonner photo) Daughters find “lost” diploma for dad’s 88th birthday By Fiaint* Gilbert A Hastings man was astounded Io receive his high school diploma on his 88th birthday recently Actually. C R. Brandstetter earned his diploma from Hastings High School in 1913 but the graduation certificate had been "lost" since about 1960. until recently when it turned up for sale in a local antique shop. Discovering Bra nds tel ter’s diploma hanging on the wall of the shop was exciting lor his daughters Bonnie Cove ol Hastings and Sally Mazzola ol 1-as Vegas. The two women had lieen out shopping for their father's birthday cake and present when they decided to browse through the new downtown shops in "Peddlers Village" on W Stale St “We went into the antique shop where Dr. Brooks use to have an office and we were browsing and I said. 'There’s a Hastings High School diploma. ' says Bonnie Sally said. ‘That's my Dad s' .and I said. 'That's my Dad's." “We were so excited so we bought it." relates Bonnie It cost the daughters $14 Io purchase the framed diploma, but Bonnie says it was worth it "We added a "1" in trout of the 514 (price tag' so my Dad wouldn't think we were cheap." she laughs Brandstetter says he has no idea how his diploma ended up in the antique shop "I had it tn an old trunk until 1960." His wife quips that she "may have throw n in out because I'm not a saver." Bonnie said the owner of the antique shop told her that he purchased the diploma at a yard sale Al any rate. Brandstetter is delighted to have the cherished certificate back again and noted that he had done a lot of traveling to earn the diploma lie attended school in Delton through tenth grade, but had to take theC K & S. Railroad back and forth from Delton to Hastings to graduate from high school. He explains that the 10th grade was the highest grade in Delton at that time. About seven other Delton students took the train with him His graduating class was comprised of 40 some students. W.E. Conkling was the superintendent then and William T Wallace was the principal Brandstetter said he didn't start school until he was seven "We lived on the old Scott farm and you couldn’t gel out through the snow hanks in the winter time." he said. The school was about a mile and a quarter walk for him. Brandstetter founded a local beer distributorship under his name in 1933. The business is still operating, but has changed hands to Bonnie and her husband. Gordon, and is known as Cove Distributors. Inc. Bonnie says her father hasn't really retired yet. "He still works . he helps load the Ijeer trucks." Charlene Walter of Hastings carefully performs her piano solo for judging.

Il’s in some of the food I eat. If 1 fly in an airplane. I’m closer to cosmic sources. If I explore a cave. I’m closer to the radiation from rocks and minerals. "I can't avoid it. That doesn't mean I need to close my eyes to the danger. But it means 1 can approach it intel­ ligently." Of the radiation our bodies receive, how much comes from nuclear power production? Dr. Williams points out that the amount has been well docu­ mented. "It is pretty trivial." he says. "Readings 1 have done on the subject suggest clearly that during your lifetime, you have a one-in-amillion chance of dying from radia­ tion exposure." he says. Dr. Williams says you also have a one-in-a-million chance of dying even time you travel 60 miles in a car; by living at age 60 for 20 minutes; each lime you fly 700 miles in an airplane; by smoking I to 3 cigarettes; or by working for weeks in a typical factory. Dr. Williams points out that we receive about 15.000 times more radiation from the sky than from nuclear power. The radiation from things we eat is about 6,000 times greater, from medical procedures about 24.000 times greater, and from rocks about 13.000 times greater than from nuclear power. “There isn’t anything that doesn't come without its dangers." Dr. Williams says. "But when 1 put nuclear power in perspective I see that it gives me an awful lol of benefits. I use things that are powered by electricity; I enjoy them and ap­ preciate them. That power is useful to me. “I sec nuclear power as clean and, economical and a vital part of our country ’s mix of energy sources."

A*bert Purdum and Paul Pay (Bonnor photo) HHS class of 77 looking for people Overcoming fear Most people Don Williams meets are afraid of radiation. “Some people are frightened of it partly because they can't sec it." says Dr. Williams, who has spent years studying the subject as both a chemist and an environmentalist. "They haven’t been educated in it; they haven’t thought it through. They don't know what it is. In fact, it has become well understood only in our present lifetime." Dr. Williams is chairman of the chemistry department of Hope College, in Holland. He is both a scientist and a self-proclaimed “ecology nut." He has fallen in love with Lake Michigan and the natural environment. Radiation is all around us; "we can’t escape it." Dr. Williams says. But because people don't realize that, they single out that which they can see - nuclear power plants - as the villains. Actually, radiation from nuclear power plants is very small compared to radiation from other common sources, he notes. “As an environmentalist. 1 under­ stand that some people genuinely fear radialion." he says. “I want to help them. I want to reach out with education. "Should I avoid all radiation '" Dr. Williams asks. ' That’s impossible. It streaks out of the sky on us. There are things in my body giving off radiation Three Barry County piano students earned "outstanding performance awards".

W. Bliss in Hastings the company. He retired as supervisor of process engineering, a position he held for the past 17 years. In his recent position, he supervised the manufacturing of products from the raw­ materials to completion. Estimating product costs was part of his job too. Isham said he enjoyed “training people , and trying to improve the product." He said his goal was to try to “make the best product for the least amount of cost,” a difficult task with labor costs escalating. Sometimes, he said. “You might save some hours (in manufacturing), but then you’d lose it (with higher labor costs going into effect).” After first working as an assembler and then a parts inspector in the lathe depart­ ment. Isham was drafted into the Air Force in 1942. Garrett Isham is one of those lucky in­ dividuals who has had steady employment at one local company for 414 years. However, Isham decided recently to bow out of the "8 to 5" routine and has retired from E.W Bliss in Hastings During his tenure at Bliss, he's seen growing years and lean times at the com­ pany. When he joined the Bliss, he estimates there were 500 workers. At one time, ap­ proximately 10 years ago, the company employed about 1,500 persons. Today, the personnel office says the local employee rosier numbers 300 Ishan., a native of Dowling in Barry County is a 1938 graduate of Hastings High School.

(Banner photo) The bill actually belonged to Michael Jones, one of the Charlton Park resident security guards Jones said that he had contacted both Consumer's Power and Gilmer’s office about the bill liecause he was questioning a $4.30 "gas customer charge" which had started appearing on his bills. "I did not ask either (Gilmer) or Con­ sumers to get the bill." Jones said. "It confounds me why he got it. All 1 wanted to know was what the customer charge was." William Mabin. spokesman for Consumers Power, said the firm also had no idea why Gilmer got the bill. •Somebody used Mr. Gilmer’s name," 48909. Gilmer said that he contacted the power Mabin said “We accepted the information as correct when it came in." company and was told that someone had He said the firm’s customer relations ■ consciously" called in and changed the people were surprised by the error. address.

What he doesn’t usually get, and what he didn’t expect to get. was a gas bill from Charlton Park. “I don’t know whether it was a dirty trick or what." Gilmer remarked1 when he received one of Charlton Park’s gas bills for March. The bill arrived at Gilmer s Lansing office, last week, addressed: Barry Co Park Comm, c o Don Gilmer. Pp Box 30014, Lansing, Mi His military training included courses at the Chicago Aeronautical Institute and the Pratt Whitney Aircraft Engineering School tn Detroit. Following that training, he was sent to Central America where he served with the 6th Air Force headquarters, 74th Bomb Squadron, spending about 36 months in Panama City and some time in Guatemala City plus the. Galpigas Islands and other small places. Isham served with the Air Force until December of 1915 when he went back to work at Bliss in the large assembly division for a short time and then worked in inspection until April of 1947. From that period through 1965 until he became supervisor of process engineering. Isham held positions as junior engineer, delailer (methods), methods engineer, estimator, and product engineer. In the '60’s he supplemented his educational background by completing a number of courses at Western Michigan University, including studies in motion and lime, work simplification, production con­ trol, material handling and layout, and in­ dustrial supervision. Isham also has studied metallurgy and personnel management at Kellogg Com­ munity College. Some of the changes, Isham has seen in production include venturing into a two-piece can line. “We use to have a three-piece (top, bottom, and side) can line," he said. Speeds of equipment have increased loo, he adds, to gain the ultimate in production. But now Isham says his thoughts are geared to casual living. He has fond memories of a nice retirement party given in his" honor earlier this month at the Elks and he's looking forward to spending time on the golf course, "playingaround” with his power tool! and even doing yard work. Isham, and his wife Gertrude, are also thinking about taking a trip to the southwest sometime in the future. Meanwhile, they plan to live casually and take in some Michigan sights like Greenfield Village and the new Ford Museum. They’ll continue being active in the Presbyterian Church in Hastings too. The couple’s son, Tom, and his wife, Nancy.live in Marshall and have two children: Garrett and Adam. •*1 don’t have a reason." he said. "Ap­ parently. somebody pulled a fast one.” One thing that did result from the mixup was an explanation of the gas customer charge. Robert Wischmeyer, public information specialist for the firm, said that the charge has been a standard chargd for years, but •has never been "broken out" on the bill. “it’s like a service charge," he said. “It’s part of the customer’s bill related to ongoing expenses that the company has regardless of how much gas a customer uses. Wischmeyer said that when the Public Service Commission approved lifeline electrical rates, last year, it order power companies to include the service charge on all bills. Consumers extended this order to include gas customers. oops! 0,02A3^S2JE2-LOD2‘,a0b <.8909 . l1NSING »’”■ ffll -----<5aVoU>>«co» Who billed the state rep. for Charlton Park gas?

Isham said he enjoyed “training people. . .and trying to improve the product .” He said his goal was to try to “make the best product for the least amount of cost." a difficult task with labor costs escalating. Sometimes, he said. “You might save some hours (in manufacturing) but then you’d lose it (with higher labor costs going into effect)."

Focusing-in on the County Building Probate Court...a state court of record by Ken Reibel When most people hear '.he word “probate court", they think of wills. Actually, probate court has two divisions: probate and juvenile. Included among probate division's 20 plus functions are abandoned property proceedings, change of names for adults and families, condemnation of private property, guardianships of minors and incapacitated persons, notary public application en­ dorsements, secret marriage proceedings and estate supervision. The thread that connects these and other functions, ranging from the obscure lo the ordinary, is the fact-finding nature of the probate division of the court It is a court of record, basically non-adversarial in its proceedings. Richard N. Laughrin is judge of prolate and juvenile court of Barry County. Born in Cadillac, he received his Bachelor of Laws Degree from the University of Detroit in 1949, after serving for three and a half years as a paratrooper in World War IL His career in public service has extended throughout western Michigan. He was elected clerk of his home town, Wexford, while in law school. He went on to serve ten years as assistant prosecutor for Kent County, and was elected prosecuting at­ torney. Following several years of private practice he was elected probate? judge of Kent County and served one term. In August 1975, Governor Milliken ap­ pointed him probate judge of Barry County. He has served on assignment as circuit MESC survey tells unemployment jump in this area, lowest in the state by iKen Reibel The Barry-Calhoun labor market registered the lov/e^t month-to-month in­ crease in unemployment of the 13 major labor-market Areas in Michigan, according to the latest figtrts released by the Michigan Employment Security Commission. In December i here were 10.300 out .of work in Barry and Ca Ihoun counties. In January, that number jumped 500 to ’.0.800 for an increase of 6 percent. The only other area with that low of a n increase was Ann ArborYpsilanti. where there were 800 more idle workers in Januar y than in December, for a 6 percent increase?. The unemployment increase for Barry County alone was 2.1 percent for the same period, according to the Hastings MESC office. There are currently almost 2,500 idle workers in Barry County of a total labor force 19,000 Mike Williams. MESC supervisor for Hastings attributes this increase to manufacturer's cutbacks in workers used, due to a softening of the auto industry. The state-wide unemployment figure stands at Ifi percent, with 677.000 out of werk. In Barry and Calhoun counties, it is 13.7 percent. __ The lowest unemployment rale, according lo MESC, is that of the Kalamazoo-Portage area, with 11.2 percent. MESC attributes this relatively low figure to ‘Kalamazoo’s diverse industrial base." The Flint area registers the highest unemployment rate in the state with 21.8 percent. Other January jobless rates around state include;: Bay City, 14.9 percent; Benton Harbor. 16.5 percent; Detroit. 16.4 percent; Grand Rapids. 12.8 percent; Jackson, 16.2 percent; Lansing-E.

Currently, he sits on I he legislative committee of that association plus the Michigan Association of Juvenile Court Administrators. The two have spawned a number of in­ novative ideas, including a program called ."in-house detention". The goal of the program is two-fold: To successfully keep youth within their own home pending adjudication and to reduce costs lo the county in the form of 'detention home fees. In 1980, the program saved the county as much as $25,000. Young persons placed in the Home Detention Program who have committed criminal offenses are monitored daily by the home detention worker. The juvenile is required lo follow certain rules drawn by the worker, approved by the referee or judge, and to maintain daily logs of activities. The program not only serves to "keep a hold" on youths, but also provides an intensive worker-client relationship which is useful for setting up goals for the youthful offender following adjudication.

He thanked Mr. and Mrs. Larry Neil of Hastings. Matt's parents, for lhe support and told them they deserved the feelings of price they have for their son. "At schools like ours, the basketball coach's job does not depend only on win­ ning." he told the audience. "It depends on athletes and students like Matt Neil that come to play and lead."

In college he continued scoring in double figures and pulling down rebounds. Van Wieren calls him "a force inside". While Matt'has found success on lhe basketball court, his success off lhe court is what makes him special, his coach and Kiwanis member Wendall Strickland said at Wednesday's meeting. • As a mat h major he carries a solid B grade average and is an active member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. In the summer of 1980. Matt and the other members of lhe Hope cage squad spent two weeks in Mexico. Malt noted al the time that "<>ur goal was Io be more than basketball players.

As the grip of winter loosens and spring rains it’s way in the birds have begun to move. Different species migrate al different times in lhe spring. Raptors (owls, hawks and eagles) are among the first to come north. Warblers and hummingbirds Are the last to migrate through H e Barry County­ area. In late winter, a warm spell will trigger a northward move, the DNR says, and in spring, a weather front will often trigger another move. In some species like lhe red winged black­ birds, the males migrate before the females and locate summer territories they will defend. Other species like mallards come north already paired up. As the weather moderates, one of the first mammals to appear is the oppossum, the DNR says. They usually come out at night in search of food and their eyes can often be spotted as they roam along roads. Opossums were not regularly found in Michigan until about 50 years ago. lhe DNR says. They are natives south of the state, and the Michigan winters limit their expansion any farther north. The opossum is a marsupial, an animal that has a pouch on it's stomach to carry it's young. As part of its .statewide observance of Arbor Day April 22, the Michigan United Conseration Clubs (MUCC) is again spon­ soring a program (if planting trees and shrubs for wildlife. Begun in 1980, the "Plant for Wildlife" program utilizes a package of young trees, shrubs, and ground cover especially selected for their benefits to wildlife. Included in the package are 13 trees (six different species). 12 shrubs (four species', and five ground cover plants (one species). Persons planting these varieties can provide food and shelter for wildlife, aid in soil conservation, establish windbreaks and create landscape beauty. The wildlife packages are available at $14.98 each, plus $1.50 for shipping from MUCC, Box 30235, Lansing. Mich. 48909.

"The snowmelt which helps trigger lhe steelhead's spawning urge could be later in parts of northern Lower and Upper Michigan because of lhe heavy snowfall," staled James Drury, Auto Club Travel Operations manager.

Lake Huron standouts should include the dequeue River near Huron Beach, the Au Gres River's East Branch, and lhe Au Sable near Oscoda, which should peak in late April or as late as mid-May because colder water released from upstream dams will delay­ runs.

Nou1 interest rates fluctuate and monthly payments are far above rates common a short time ago. That’s why over half the homes sold today include some form of adjustable, so-called creative financing. Not all of these adjustments offer comparable benefits, and some may not be as inex­ pensive as they first seem. One common solution is to assume the seller's mortgage. A pitfall of assumable mortgages, might be a large down payment. If you don't have the necessary cash, you might need a second mortgage, which could put the house out of reach. Also, assumable mortgages are not usually welcomed by the banks involved, because of low interest rates they sustain. Another problem with assumable mor­ tgages is their legality. Although all VA and vHA-guaranteed mortgages and many written prior to the early 1970s are assumable, others carry "due on sale" clauses. However, there are court suits in over 20 states on the enforceability of these clauses Costly mortgages result from high interest rates. To pay this interest to depositors, banks raise loan charges. Because inflation leads to volatile interest rates, lenders lose money with fixed mortgages. Still available are low mortgage rates guaranteed for a few years, but a refinancing agreement would be at a higher rate. However, if you will have the lump sum when it falls due, these short-term loans may be your best bet. Despite this, if your finances dictate a long-term loan, compare the different graduated mortgage rates offered. A graduated payment mortgage may define exactly when and how much your payments increase over the years. An ad­ justable rate mortgage (ARM) or adjustable mortgage loan (AML) usually ties the mortgage rate increase to an economic in­ dex. Because of the restrictions on national banks, ARMs can rise no more than one percent every six months. AMLs from savings banks are not restricted at all. However, this could also work against you. If an index rises beyond the allowed rate increase, the difference may be tacked on to your principal. Some mortgages offer lower rates but require the loan to be paid back sooner. There are options, like the rollover mortgage where the loan may be refinanced at the end of a determined period which can be as short as three years. The new mortgages may seem simpler than they are. For example, if a rate is adjustable, how often will it be change**, how often can it be changed and by how much** Short-term indexes are usually more volatile, and some lend to rise more than RECREATION NO. 3 Middle Lakers, 384; Carlton Center Excavating. 344: Bob's Service Shop, 34; Miller’s Carpet & Furniture, 314; Freeport Restaurant, 294; Voder's Sunoco Service, 294; Rapid Quick Slop. 28; Freeport Supply, 28; Hastings Hotel. 274; Barry Automotive. 23; Stevens Trucking, 20; Bergy Bros.

But no more: Few ladder company men will enter the scene of a blaze today without protection, according to the American Lung Association of Michigan. This is because inhalation of chemicals released by the burning of synthetic materials and (new structural conditions) have combined to menace their lung health, says the American Lung Association of Michigan. Polyvinyl chloride is most prevalent; upon combustion, it releases hydrogen chloride, phosgene and carbon monoxide, all injurious to firefighter's lungs. An official of the National Smoke. Fire and Burn Institute described inhalation of Township meetings, continued... ORANGEVILLE About nine citizens attended the Orangeville Township meeting and approved the tentative proposed budget of $144,557, including fire and ambulance costs. Road costs are covered in that figure from a half­ mill that is levied. No salary increases were granted. The supervisor will receive $7,200; clerk, $5,000; and treasurer. $4,250. Trustees get $990 per year. A separate amount of $3,700 is designated to pay for a separate assessor, but the township only spent $1,400 for one last year. The township pays the assessor $6 per hour and 23 cents per mile. PRAIRIEVILLE Abo'il 20 persons were at Prairieville's meeting which lasted four hours. Citizens approved a proposed budget of $188,338 which amounts to an increase of $2,000 for ‘he last two years. For the second con­ secutive year, no salary increases were granted. The supervisor currently receives $8,000 plus $9,500 for assessing; the clerk, $10,000; and the treasurer, $8,000. Trustees gel $20 per meeting. Property tax increases were expressed as a major concern during the meeting. The need and cost to operate the township's dispatch service was questioned by a few in attendance. Supervisor Roy Reck described the dispatch as a "vital link in our emergency services." Bowling results HASTINGS MFG CO.

RUTLAND Fifteen persons attended Rutland Township’s meeting. Because the township is changing its fiscal year to July 1-June 30, its proposed budget of $177,000 reflects projected expenditures, including am­ bulance and fire, for a 15 month period. Actually, the budget remains in line with last year's expenditures says Phyllis Fuller. She notes that the budget has to cover some expenses twice in order to make the change in the fiscal year which is expected to benefit financial record keeping. She said the ten­ tative budget also includes $11,000 the township hopes to get from the county allocation board. No salary increases were given so the supervisor's pay will remain at $16,200; the clerk, $8,500; and the treasurer, $7,400. Trustees get $40 per meeting. Mrs. Fuller notes that the pay does not include retirement plans or insurance. Salaries in Rutland are not set at the annual meeting but are reccommended by a salary commission comprised of five residents. Discussion at the annual meeting included disapproval of the county’s new busing system. THORNAPPLE Thomapple Township’s 90-minute annual meeting was attended by seven citizens who granted approval to the tentative general fund budget of $147,256, up from $112,830 last year. There were increased expenses in all departments due to general inflationary expenses, commented Clerk Donna Kenyon. Ambulance costs are projected at $53,986 and fire protection $87,597. The township has levied only Vs-miU of the one mill voters approved for fire protection. Salary in­ eases were approved for the top three posts. The supervisor's pay will increase from $12,000 to $13,000, the clerk's from $8,000 to $9,0U0; and the treasurer's from $6,500 to $7,000. WOODLAND Sixteen were present for Woodland Township's l>j-hour annual meeting. Proposed expenditures of $125,525, up $17,000 over last year, were approved. In an arrangement with the 'illage, the township will be taking over the maintainance of the fire building, adding to the year’s expenses. No salary increases were granted. The supervisor’s pay (including assessing) will remain at $7,000; and the clerk's and treasurer's both at $4,200. Trustees receive $600 per year. Discussion included the wording for the plaque which will designate the township hall as a state historical site. South Mich, laundry takes on expansion The South Michigan Laundermal, 607 S.

"Inhalationof 50 parts per million of I {CL for a short time isn’t fatal, bat it stops it& victim in his tracks, restricting his capacity to escape Pain and eye tearing are intense. Even before smoke becomes thick enough to reduce visibility the victim cannot see.” Phosgene, another of the gases released by burning polyvinyl chloride, is so poisonous, it is being considered for use in warfare. Modern skyscrapers with their climate control and air-tight windows trap smoke, increasing toxic content and the dangers to firefighters’ lungs. Damage to firefighters' lungs and respiratory tracts can include emphysema, bronchitis, shortness-of-breath. asthma, hoarseness, coughing and sore throat Moreover, there is a lack of a wareness on the part of government - from federal to local of the dangers firefighters face According to the American Lung Association of Michigan, a recent study points to the need for government to intensify safety education in order to properly protect firefighters.

Lansing are helping state police of the Hastings team concentrate on the most hazardous stretches of load in Barry County. The aims uf the "directed patrol” program are two-fold: to patrol for speeders and reckless drivers, thereby preventing ac­ cidents, and to stop and apprehend drunk drivers. Many factors go into determining where and when traffic accidents will occur. Using something called the Michigan Accident Location Index (MALI), information is fed to computers telling how many accidents have occured in the years 1979-80, where they happened, the time of day at which they occured, and the contributing causes. The end result is that state police in all 63 posts and 6 team locations now know when accidents are most likely to happen, and where they are most likely to happen, within the confines of their jurisdiction. Since the program's beginning last fall, local state police are focusing patrols on nine miles of Chief Noonday Rd., from M-43 to Briggs Rd., and M-37 from M-43 to Mid­ dleville. There were a total of 75 accidents on those two roads in 1980, the last year for which figures are available. Of those 75 mishapd, three resulted in fatalities. 41 in property damage, and 31 in personal injury, for a total economic lo$s of $813,270. , "The idea of identifying and concentrating pptrols on certain areas is nothing new,", says to Richard Zimmerman, sergeant of the Hastings state police team. He says other ehforcemenl programs, such as the Com­ bined Accident Reduction Effort (CARE), and the Selected Enforcement Pregram, also invblve "putting a complement oi people out during high traffic hours.” Z’mmerman calls the directed patrol program "A concerted effort to readily identify any pattern area within any given area.” With it. he says law enforcement agencies "have the capability to identify any problem area in any given county." Each slate police post and team is given the freedom to interpret the computer's findings and tailor the patrol to fit their own needs. Such factors as road design, weather and car-deer accidents are sometimes discounted to give police a clearer picture of just where the problem stretches of road are. As a result, the areas for the traffic-safety directed patrol and. the DU IL (driving under influence of liquor) directed patrols match. "We made them overlap", says Zim­ merman. "The correlation was there.

Land use map and zoning ordinance public hearing set tor Hope Township By Elaine Gilbert Public hearings on a proposed zoning ordinance and land use rnap 'for Hope Township have been set for Tuesday. May i 1 The hearings had previously bien scheduled for this month, but have been changed because of legal technicalities. Work on township zoning began in December of 1980, after the Hope Township board received petitions from residents requesting a committee be established to write an ordinance. The petition was initiated with the idea of withdrawing from Barry County's zoning, if the township board approved. Township zoning places control of zoning ‘close to the people.'' explains Sylvia For­ ster. a member of the township planning commission. Likewise, the township lias control over the building inspector-zoning administrator who carries out the zoning ordinance and building code and actually is a powerful person, she said. For all practical purposes the zoning districts in the proposed township zoning map would remain the same as under county zoning. The proposed township ordinance is simpler and less restrictive. The major difference between the present county zoning and the proposed local plan is in its handling of single-wide mobile homes. Under the proposed township ordinance single-wide mobile homes are treated like any other residence, in accordance with the township planning commission's in­ terpretation of a recent Stale Supreme Court decision However, the new proposal includes provisions that the single-wides must be properly anchored, supported, and skirted. Instead of excluding the single wides. the ordinance promotes attractiveness and neatness for such dwellings and requires a minimum standard for storage space. Separate storage buildings must be an­ chored. Under the present county ordinance, a special exception use process requires persons interested in obtaining a single-wide mobile home to notify neighboring property owners and publish a newspaper notice of intent. The proposal offers people the option of having low cost homes but without invading their neighbors rights to an attractive neigh­ borhood, Mrs. Forster said. Often, she said, "people think freedom means they can do anything they want on their land — but that is anarchy. Freedom is allowing freedom for others too, which means the right to act in a responsible way in a society based on laws. If you don't like the laws, you have the right to try to change them in a free society. That's what freedom is — operating under rules and regulations." "The misunderstanding of what freedom ia and the abuse of other people's rights have caused us k have zoning.” A few citizens have suggested that the township withdraw from having zoning altogether. However, according to a legal opinion received by the planning commission this is not possible. Since the county already has zoning, Hope must also have zoning, said Mrs. Forster. The only options are whether to remain under the county plan or set-up the township's own zoning standards. One disadvantage of withdrawing from county zoning is that the Barry County Prosecutor helps with enforcement. Under township zoning, the township would have to hire an attorney to enforce the ordinance when necessary. She noted that the proposed ordinance does contain a $500 penalty for violation plus th? possibility of a jail term. Continued, page 5 Charlton Park zoning denial going before county board by Greg Johnson A decision by the Barry County Planning and Zoning Commission to deny a zoning change involving land in Charlton Park goes before the Barry County Board of Com­ missioners during Tuesday s regular meeting. Winifred Keller, director of the Planning and Zoning Commission, will read the decision to the board at 11 am Tuesday. April 13, according to the agenda The board will then approve or overturn the Planning and Zoning Commission's decision The decision was made after a public­ hearing on March 22. It denied the changing of 139 acres of Charlton Park from R-2 (residential) to AR (agriculturalresidential). The request for the zoning change was made by the Parks and Recreation Commission The park announced in a March 15 press release that its special Campground Development Committee recommended a campground be constructed as part of an overall effort to create additional income. Under Aft zoning a special use permit could be obtained allowing the construction of a campground. About 60 people attended the March 22 public hearing and several voiced opposition to a zoning change that would allow a special use permit for a campground. Petitions against the change were also presented by a Battle Creek lawyer representing land owners and home owners in the Thomapple Lake area. The Planning and Zoning Commission said after the public hearing that they would submit a recommendation along with their 'denial decision to the Board of Com­ missioners. They said they will recommend that CR ‘conservation reserve district) might be a better specification for the land in question.. Under CR. a campground wound not be allowed on a special use permit.

It was only an April fool joke when the groundhog was frightened back into hibernation because he saw his shadow February 2. According to bis. followers that incident meant only six more weeks of winter. After March went out like l lamb, it returned as a lion in sheep's clothing in Barry County as well as many other parts of the state which were zapped with blizzard-like conditions last Monday and Saturday. In Hastings, thoughts of spring were buried under 7:1 inches of snowfall from Monday’s wrath and three inches from Saturday's fury. Those figures were the accumulation recorded by the Hastings City Waste Water Treatment Plant on April 4 and 6 after the winter storms had passed. Monday's storm dumped the highest snowfall accumulation for a one-day period this past winter season, according to records at the waste water treatment plant. Other highs for the season were 5.1 inches. Although Saturday's accumulation was tower, wind gusts of up to 80 mph in some places, caused hazardous driving con­ ditions with visibility near zero in many areas.

PUBLIC OPINION: THIS WEEK’S QUESTION: While Ford and General Motors workers have negotiated contracts with pay and benefit concessions, the state legislature last week did not halt a five percent pay increase for state employees that will go into effect In October. Do you think that public employees are entitled to pay raises that have already been negotiated in their contracts? Reward offered in assault of 83-year-old woman A group of Hastings citizens is offering a $500 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the individual who robbed and assaulted an 83-year-old Hidden Valley Apartment resident. According to Hastings city police, a man knocked on the woman’s door about 9 p.m. Saturday night, then forced his way into her apartment when she answered Police say he then threw her to the floor, and headed for the bedroom where he stole $30 from the woman's purse On his way out thedoor, police say the man kicked the woman as she lied on the floor. The woman remained on the floor unconcious until 4:30 the following morning, when she telephoned a neighbor, and the neighbor called police. Police urge anyone with any information concerning the incident to contact them through the silent observer program. Sheriffs say a home on Cook Rd. was en­ tered and burglarized early Sunday morning as the occupants, Mr. and Mrs. Edward McPharlin, slept. Sheriffs say Mr. McPharlin awoke about 3 a.m. and found melted snow on the floor and his television and two McCulloch chainsaws gone. Also missing from a barn is a roto-tiller. Sheriff deputies believe more than one person is responsible for the theft. There is also evidence that the thieves became stuck in the road outside the McPharlin residence and used his snow shovel to dig themselves out before fleeing the scene. Responding to calls for assistance from Ionia County sheriffs, sheriffs from Barry County stopped an allegedly stolen Ionia County road commission car at M-43 and Quimby Rd. The driver of the vehicle, a 45year -old Eaton County man, was sub­ sequently arrested and temporarily lodged in the Barry Coimty jail, awaiting tran­ sportation to Ionia.

Michigan 49058 Look for the 1982 Spring Sports PREVIEW of Barry County Sports in Next Week’s Hastings Banner! by Ken Reibel Respondents split evenly on this week's issue. While many felt that "a contract is a contract ”, and the state’s should be honored, others thought that state employees should follow the lead of auto workers and forgo pay increases. "Contracts, rather by word of mouth or word on paper, should be upheld by all parties involved." says Denny Myers, an­ nouncer for WBCH radio in Hastings. “The state negotiated (the contract) a long time ago. and they must have had an idea to look into the future to see what kind of com­ plications might come about from it. 1 would think that they would would have thought a little bit further ahead, and that the stale should have asked itself if the pay raises could be afforded down the road. But they put it on paper, and that's their word, and they should honor it by all means ” “If it was a new contract, then I think the five percent figure should be negotiated.” says Ron Lewis of Lewis Realty. He says there are "loo many livelihoods where a contract doesn't mean anything," and that "the contract should be followed through. A contract is a contract." Audrey Burdick. Barry County drain commissioner, was succinct. “Yes 1 du." she said. "I believe that public employees that have already negotiated pay raises should get pay raises." She says she would rather see tbe cutting of non-essential programs than the cuttii >f wages. “I don’t thins they should get it.” says Gary Bishop of Hastings. "A lot of people are taking pay cuts. I’m layed off and I have to cut back on necessities like food and a place to live. I think evenbody ought to do that.’-' Bishop is currently layed off from Michigan Concrete. Howard Wilcox, a Barry County employee, agreed with, the legislature's decision. "That’s the way it should be. Because (the stale) accepted the contracts when they were signed, and it has to run until the fiscal end of the year when it ends.” Dennis Hubei of Hastings notes that there have been a lot of sacrifices made in the economy and “everybody's upset with their tax burdens and everything. Maybe the state employees are entitled to the raises, but in light of the auto worker’s concessions it’s tough to see those increases and other workers getting a pay increase." Hubei says he feels that state employees are well-paid to begin with, and that giving up a pay increase is no great sacrifice. "Ford Motor and them have already taken their cut," notes Harold Baum, a Hastings fireman. "Ifwe want toget the world back to where it’s supposed lo be. then we all have to make sacrifices." "Everybody has sacrifices lo make in this deal," says Keith Sage of Hastings. Sage, a Bliss retiree, says he doesn’t believe that just because the contract has already been negotiated that it has to be honored. "The automakers had to change their contracts." he says. �The Hastings Banner, Thursday April 8.1982 ■ Page 3 Collection of antique coffee grinders donated to historic Charlton Park Museum By Elaine Gilbert Beduhn named to National Savings and Loan Board Richard Beduhn, president and chief executive officer of Hastings Savings and Loan Association, has been appointed to the 1982 Development for Smaller Institutions of the United States League of Savings Associations. The appointment was announced by Roy G Green, chairman of the league and president of Fidelity Federal Savings and Loan Association, Jacksonville, Fla. The U.S. League is the principal trade organization for the savings and loan business and represents over 4,000 associations throughout the country. Savings and loan associations are the second largest 'ype of financial institution in America and specialize in attracting savings accounts for investment primarily in home mortgage loans. French youth orchestra to present concert at Lakewood The Rehon Amateur Classical Orchestra irom Nancy, France, will perform a concert in the Lakewood High School gymnasium on Saturday, April 10, at 3 p.m. Fifty-nine musicians from 12 through college age, and their chaperones, will be visiting Lakewood for three days beginning Thursday, April 8, and will be staying in the homes of Lakewood music students who plan to visit Nancy in 1983. The Nancy group is on a two week American tour, with other stops in Chicago; North Webster, Ind.; Harrisburg. Pa.; West Point, N.J.; and New York City. The concert will be an opportunity for area Visitors to historic Charlton Park Village and Museum will be able to enjoy a new collection — a display of 44 antique coffee grinders — when the tourist attraction opens for the season next month A slim cylinder-type "pocket ’ coffee grinder of Turkish origin and a large com­ mercial-type grinder, typical of the kind found long ago on the counter of an old-time general store are included in the collection. The coffee grinders will be on temporary display in the museum, said Frank Walsh, director of Charlton Park. Eventually, the grinders will be displayed permanently, probably in the village's restored general store. A mortar and pestle with which coffee beans were “ground” in colonial limes is part of the collection, he said. The oldest patent Walsh has found on the grinders is one dated March, 1859. Another is 1879. The collection of coffee grinders, valued at $3,000, had belonged to the late Eva Williaume Tomlinson of Battle Creek. Mrs. Tomlinson started collecting coffee grinders after receiving one that had been a wedding gift to her parents when they were married in Belgium. Walsh said Mrs. Tomlinson's son. Dick, had told him that his mother wanted the coffee grinders to be given to a museum so they would be kept as a collection. Walsh said Charlton Park is grateful and appreciative to receive the fine collection of coffee grinders. “The collection has every type of style represented in it. No two are the same," he said. “...if a husband failed to keep his wife supplied with the brew, she had ‘grounds' for divorce." Styles range from fancy to plain. Several of the coffee grinders are part china with painted designs. Others are hardwood box shies. One has a glass-front (known as an xray style to collectors). Some are brass and others are cast iron. A few have decorative handles. The box-type grinders include models with sunken hoppers and others with raised ones or both. The collection includes grinders made for mounting on the wall (called side grinders); for clamping on the table or counter (shelf grinder); while others are free-standing. One of the first grinders in Turkey was the pocket coffee grinder, like this one. said Walsh, opening a slim cylinder grinder in the newly acquired park collection. The Turks "carried the pocket grinder with them whereever they went." he said. Part of the base of the cylinder is aclually a cup. used for boiling water for the brew as well as grinding the beans and drinking the coffee. One of the more modern looking grinders in the collection is from Australia and has a compact wooden base, less than half the size of the regular box-type. Serval miniature grinders, standing about four inches high, are in the collection too. Walsh says they might be toys or salesmen’s samples. The largest coffee grinder in the collection appears to be the same as one advertised in a 1908 Sears catalog and used for many years in general and grocery stores. It is a counter­ model grinder with large 17-inch wheels. In 1908, it sold for less than $8. For some, the sight of that grinder may rekindle memories of a neighborhood grocer pouring coffee beans into the hopper and listening to the whirring sounds of the wheels and the crunching sounds of the beans as they were ground by hand by the grocer. A smaller, family-size version of the wheel grinder is part of the collection too. In researching the history of coffee grinders. Walsh said that according to legend coffee was discovered in Ethiopia when goalherders noticed that their flocks stayed awake all night after feeding on coffee leaves and berries. Seven hundred years ago. coffee began to be used as a beverage. But, before that, coffee had been used as food, wine, and medicine. These are some of the 44 ant ique coffee grinders that hove been donated to Charlton Pork Village and Museum. H astings S avings & groups through the Child Abuse Council.

NOTICE Dated: March 8, 1982 Walsh notes that early shipments of coffee beans were put into a greased leather bag or a tiag covered with beeswax io preserve the fla vor According to facts gathered by Walsh, the name for coffee in almost every county of the world comes from the Arabian word “Gahwah.' which means "that which gives strength" and the Turkish derivative. “Kahwah." On the pretty Dutch coffee grinder in the Chari ton Park collection, the word "Koffee" is pai nted in blue on the china hopper along with a windmill scene. Walsh relates that the stories about cof­ fee's popularity through the centuries are man y and often humorous. According to one tale. the beverage was so popular in Turkey that if a husband failed to keep his wife supplied with the brew, she had grounds for div ort-e. residents, to see and hear a symphony or­ chestra in a live performance. There is no admission charge for the performance or for the reception following the concert. The French youth orchestra's visit is a part of an ongoing cultural exchange bet­ ween the Lakewood Music Department and friends in Europe. Lakewood vocal music director Robert Oster and band director Douglas Lawson are in charge of local arrangements. Lawson remembers the 1979 Lakewood concert in Nancy as "the most exciting concert I will ever have participated in.” Child Abuse Council sets annual meeting April 12 The Barry County Child Abuse Council will hold its annual business meeting Monday, April 12, at 7 p.m. in the Hastings High School library.

The slide show. ••Sometimes It’s O.K. to Tattle", will follow the business meeting. This program consists of a story acted out by Susan Linn and her puppets, in which they discuss child abuse and its effects on families in terms that children can comprehend. The Child Abuse Council purchased this slide program last spring as an educational, child abuse prevention program for elementary-aged children "Sometimes Il’s O.K. to Tattle” is available free fur presentation by school, church or youth The popularity of coffee was strong in Arabia before’t caught on in Turkey during the 1500’s and finally in Italy in the early 1600’s. It was in the 1600's that coffee houses first sprang up throughout Europe. The first coffee mill was thought to have originated in Damascus in 1665. A patent for the first coffee mill,in the United was issued in January of 1798 to Theodore Bruff Sr. of Maryland. Twenty years later a second patent was issued to Increas Wilson oFNew London. Connecticut. So by the beginning of the 19th century, the coffee mill was a familar item in the American home. Just a small amount of coffee, enough to last a few days, was roasted in the oven or pans at one lime. The coffee beans were freshly ground each time the beverage was lobeseried because coffee quickly loses its strength if allowed to stand after it is ground. Get a headstart in your new town.

EASTER MORNING Chocolate Covered Cream Filled EGGS �The Hastings Banner, Thursday April 8,1982 - Page 5 Hope Twp. land use hearing, continued from page 1---------------------------------------------------------------------------------She prnised Winifred Keller, the count\ zoning director and Prosecutor Judy Hughe's “for taking such a courageous stand with the outdoor theatre in Hastings." Mrs. Keller "has been very helpful to us and I think people should know this." The proposed township zoning ordinance also reduces the number of homes allow ed on an acre in the rural lake-2 zoning district To reduce chances of water contamination, the number of homes has been lowered from three to two per acre in that district. The change accomodates the pash by the health department for more land per house to allow sufficient area ior replacement drain fields, should problems develop with originals. A preliminary step to drawing up the or­ dinance was the establishment of a township planning commission whose duties included making a land use map and study As a result of developing a land use map and land use study for Hope Township, the township planning commission is recom­ mending that a committee be established to studv ways to aver* potential land-related problems. The proposed Hope Township land use map is to show residents what patterns are emerging in land development. It will be the first subject of the 7:30 p.m. public hearing Tuesday. May 11 at the township hall on M43. Ways the township can improve water quality and reduce water and land pollution are suggested areas of study recommended by the planning commission. Looking into ways to handle sewage problems other than proposed expensive, large-scale ideas and financial planning for these projects are other possible study areas tin? commission wants the township board to approve. The commission also hopes its findings will help township residents understand local problems and help by providing constructive ideas. Dorothy McCabe is chairman of Hope’s planning commission. Serving with her are John Woods, Isla DeVries, Nelson Hine. Johnny Bishop, Ken Pease, and Mrs. For­ ster. The purpose of the land use map is to aid the public and township officials in obtaining an overall view of patterns that are emerging in the townsnip’s land develop­ ment and potential problenis that will be faced. Because Hope may be faced with an ex­ pensive sewer project, clusters of set­ tlements had to Im? identified and then possibilities of further development were noted. The planning commission emphasizes that possible future development areas were “guesses" because the map is not legally binding. However, a public hearing still must be held to discuss the map, according to state law. The commission did find several "corridors" of high-density develpment that are not included in the Michigan Department of Natural Resources’ sewer plan. These corridors may have to be added to the sewer plan if the project "is pushed upon us." the commission said. The commission also has made a land use study to evaluate the township's present situation and to see what preparations must be undertaken for the future. Like the land use map. the study is not legally binding. In summarizing its general findings, the commission notes that population growth in Hope has almost tripled in each decade since 1960. From 1970-80, the township had the second highest growth in the county. This growth is putting more and more pressure upon township services such as fire, ambulance, library, and the possibility of adding police service, the commission noted in its report. Consideration also has been given in the past year of having another fire station. Currently the township shares in the operation of the BPH Fire Department, based in Delton. “As population increases, this need will become greater since we have no fire protection within the township itself," the commission said. One of the biggest problems of the last few years for many areas, including Hope, has been dumps and landfills. At present, Hope shares in the use of a dumpster with other neighboring townships The dumpster is located outside of Hope’s boundaries. In studying the use of land in the township, the commission noted that timber lots and farmland are being lost to housing sites, just as in other parts of the country. The commission says it is interested in the possibility of holding a woodlot clinic for township residents because limber lots in Hope need to be used more wisely and reforestration needs to be encouraged. As for farm problems, the commission said “there is still a lot of soil and fertilizer runoff into township lakes and marshes and suggested that large land owners consider having the Soil Conservation Service (which has an office in Hastings) do a study and recommendation as to proper use of the land. Water quality in the township could be improved by the utilization of better farming methods and wiser use of woodlots, the commission said. Irrigation of crops in the township is ap­ parently non-existant, a finding the com­ mission calls beneficial. Problems can arise from irrigation, the commission noted. “For one thing, the greater the use of water, the more concentrated the minerals get cn the top of the soil. Eventually, this will make the land so it will not raise crops Unless very expensive means are used to make the soil useful again." The study aiso notes that irrigation may also make shallower wells in the area go dry. Heavy water users can draw polluted water in from outlying areas. ‘There has been serious pollution in wells not far from our township...and there is confirmed chemical contamination of wells within 15 miles of the center of the township (in Richland, northeast Kalamazoo, and northwest Battle Creek»,” the commission said. At its meeting this Monday, the township board plans to establish a water quality committee to hopefully submit ideas to avoid a costly sewer project. Volunteers who are interested in serving on the committee should contact Clerk Shirley Case at 945-5722. Besides attending meetings, committee members would be involved in getting lake water samples for testing. The township board also is accepting applications for the planning commission, zoning board of appeals, and a building in­ spector-zoning administrator. After the initial May hearing is held for the zoning ordinance, the proposal may be changed by the planning commission to reflect suggestions made by citizens. The proposed zoning ordinance would then be sent to the county planning commission for approval. The next step involves another hearing by the township board, set for 7:30 p.m. May 27. which may suggest further changes or vote for the ordinance s adoption. Citizens will have the oppoitunity to com­ ment at that meeting loo. Within 30 days of the vote for adoption of the ordinance by the board, residents may file a petition calling for a vote of the people on the ordinance. The petition would have to be filed with the township clerk and have 80 valid signatures. The number of required signatures must be equal to ten percent of the last township vole for Governor.

Homeowners plug cracks by energy bill payback Homeowners who wouldn’t dream of leaving a window open during the winter are losing as much heat through openings arour ds windows, doors and vents as they'd lose through an open window'. In a session on cutting home energy loss held during Farmers' Week and Natural Resources Days at Michigan State University, agricultural engineering specialist Les Mack said a one-eighth inch opening around two door frames lets in as much cold air as a window leftopen 6 inches all winter. The most common places for air in­ filtration are around doors and windows, dryer vents, faucet pipes and chimneys, and seams between masonry and siding. The cost of weatherstripping or caulking these areas can usually be recovered in savings on heating fuel during one season. Mack said. Wide cracks should be filled with materials such as oakum, a twisted hemp treated with tar. before caulking. A clean, dry surface is needed for caulk to adhere. A variety of caulking materials are available, ranging from inexpensive asphalt caulk, which hardens and cracks after several years, to the more expensive silicone caulk, which lasts from 12 to 30 years. Weatherstripping is applied around windows and door frames. Metal and vinyl tube weatherstripping are more expensive than some other types but can be installed relatively easily and have the longest life expectancy. Mack has written an Extension bulletin, "Caulking and Weatherstripping” (E-1573), which evaluates various materials on the market. Single copies are available at no charge to Michigan residents through their county Cooperative Extension Service office. Book promotes best nutrition values for your dollars Stores "Checkout Nutrition - Buy Better,” a monthlong consumer information campaign cosponsored by the Michigan State University Cooperative Extension Service and the Michigan Department of Public Health, will begin April J. According to Gordon Guyer, director of the MSU Cooperative Extension Service, the purpose of the campaign is to help shoppers get the best nutrition value for their food dollars during these hard times of high unemployment and inflation. “A person can eat a sound, nutritious diet and still stay within a budget if he or she knows how to shop for the best value." Guyer said. A free booklet. "Checkout Nutrition - Buy Better.” containing suggestions on getting the most for your food dollar from all the food groups, is available upon request from all of Michigan's Cooperative Extension offices and local health departments. "We encourage people to contact either office fora copy of this helpful publication.” Guyer said. News releasesand radio spots highlighting helpful shopping lips and other consumer information will be released throughout the month, he added.

Thursday April 8.1982 ■ Page 7 Better communication is Hastings City Police Dept, ‘goal’ Its Ken Keibrl Hastings Police Chief Mark G Steinfort is a relative neuromer to the force who would like to see better communications between his department -md the community. He joined in August I960 as a deputy chief, then became chief in December ot 19B1 At 33. he is one of the youngest members of the 18-nian force Born and raised in Grand Rapids, he spent tour years in the Marine Corps, then went on to study at Ferris State College in Big Rapids He has held an im­ pressive number of posts for a man his age: the Mecosta County Sheriff Department as a patrolman. Allegan city police sergeant, director of the Allegan County Youth Home, special deputy to the Allegan sheriff department, and a member of the Hopkins Village Police Department In addition to his police experience. Steinfort has a bachelors degree Irom the Clarksville School of Theology. When asked if it's unusual for a policeman to hold a degree in theology*. Steinfort answers “Yes. but I'm an unusual person." Steinfort sees his biggest challenge in Hastings as belter planning and organization, which he lumps into one category—belter communications. He would like Io see a more favorable view of lhe police department by the general public, and lo enlist the help of lhe public more in preventing crime "We don't have lhe money to launch an expensive public relations campaign like the state police do." he says. Steinfort's deputy chief, Gordon Trick, says that moral has been greatly raised since Hastings man hospitalized after car hits truck A 74-year-old Hastings man is hospitalized after lhe car he was driving sideswiped a garbage truck and hit a tree Friday morning.

Norris Road, Delton, Michigan, within the Township for the purpose of receiving testimony and discussing a levy of said additional millage rate as defined by 1982 PA 5 for the ensuing fiscal year. PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that the proposed additional millage rate would increase revenues for operating purposes from ad valorem property tax levies as permitted by operation of subsection (2) of 1982 PA 5 by 8 percent. PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that the proposed additional millage rate as defined by 1982 PA 5 is .2 mills.

Respectfully submitted, JANETTE ARNOLD, TOWNSHIP CLERK 10115 S. Norris Road, Delton, Ml. PHONE: 623-2664 Q. I’ve been getting disability payments for the past five months from the company I worked for until 1 became disabled. 1 also applied for monthly Social Security disability benefits. My application for Social Security benefits was recently turned down because they do not consider me severely disabled. How can I be considered disabled by my company and not by Social Security. A. To be considered disabled for Social Security purposes you must have a physical or mental impairment that prevents you from doing any substantial gainful work for at least a year. You do not say what your line of work is, but obviously your company finds your disability prevents you from doing your normal job. and you are considered disabled by their standards. However. Social Security may feel that you are able to engage in some other gainful employment and for that reason they have disallowed your claim. If you disagree with their decision, you have the right to appeal. Q. My wife und 1 were divorced four years ago. We had been married 21 years. Recently, she told me that when I apply for Social Security retirement payments she'll also be able lo get checks on my earnings record even though we're divorced? Is this true? if it is. will her payments reduce the amount of my checks? A. If your former wife is 62 or older and you are retired, she will be able lo get monthly Social Security checks on your earnings record because you were married more than 10 years before your divorce. This will not reduce lhe amount of your payments. Also, if you die. your former wife can get widows benefits as early as 60 if you worked long enough under Social Security. This newspaper in cooperation with the Social Security Administration is publishing a seri 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 on the 6th floor of the Calder Plaza Building, 250 Monroe. N.W:. Grand Rapids, MI 49503, is open daily Monday through Friday from 9:00 a m to 4:30 p.m. Address your questions directly to that office for reply. For telephone requests call 456-2241. Steinfort has taken over. "One thing he's done is lo raise moral 100 percent." says Trick. How does Steinfort accomplish this? "By just being an all-around nice guy." answers Trick, "a guy officers can talk to " Trick, a native of Hickory Corners, put on his first uniform in 1942. as part of the first group of of 18-year-olds to be sent into World War H. After extensive duties in the ChinaBurma-India theater and Iran. Trick was discharged in November. 1945 He attended the University of Fairbanks Police Academy in Alaska, then spent a year and a half with the Alaskan Highway Patrol, before returning to his native Barry County. Since 1955 he has served with both the Hastings City Police, and the Barry County Sheriffs Department, where he "held all lhe ranks from deputy tu chief deputy to un­ dersheriff." In 1973 Trick came back to lhe Hastings City Police, starting out as shift sergeant, then detective sergeant before becoming deputy chief. Besides crime and pubic image, both Steinfort and Trick are concerned with their department's finances. The upcoming budget, yet to be voted on. will reduce the department's budget from its present $405,000 lo $355,000. Steinfort says that if lhe reduced budget is passed as is. he will be forced to layoff two patrolmen and one dispatcher, and cut in half lhe budget for training, conferences and publications, and further reduce lhe amount spent on gas and oil. Steinfort. who answers to the mayor, says his job is "different than being a cop. 1 don't lake complaints or investigate crimes. I just administrate." Trick works as right hand man to his chief, and says he doesn't mind working with a younger man. "It’s lime for younger blood," he says. "I've never worked for a better boss on a one to one basis. I communicate better with Mark than with anyone else.” Steinfort in turn finds Trick s experience valuable. "I don't think the age difference matters at all," says Steinfort. "since I’m one of the youngest guys on the force anyway." In addition toSteinfort and Trick, the force is composed of sergeants Austin Loftus. Charles Cross and Lowell Wilde; dispatchers Charles Wardin. Diane Meade. Sandra Vandenberg and Sue Knickerbocker; Gtendon Pierson of the parking detail; patrolmen Albert Stanton. Roderick Tietz. George Winick, Harold Hawkins. Jerry Sarver. Dale Karpowicz and John Bid­ dington. and detective Dana Steidle. In addition to the above, there are eight reserve officers who perform such functions as standing in at parades and dances, and assisting in patrol. They are Richard Thompson. Win Steward. Mark Noteboom. Mike Pierson. Hugh Fuller. Steve Gaedert. John Strazisar and Steve Baldrey. Hope Township PUBLIC HEARING ...for....

(Bcnnor photo) 1982 is the 100th anniversary of the observance of Arbor Day in schools. All over the nation school children will be celebrating this traditional American hol­ iday by planting trees. Free Arbor Day information available from National Office Free information on obtaining trees to plant during the Arbor Day Centennial is now available from the National Arbor Day Foundation. 1982 is lhe 100th anniversary of the ob­ servance of Arbor Day in schools. School children first participated in an Arbor Day observance in 1882 in Cincinnati. Ohio by planting trees at Eden Park during a con­ ference of the American Forestry Congress. The idea for Arbor Day originally came from Nebraska. An early pioneer. J. Sterling Morton, advocated tree planting on lhe Nebraska prairie. Trees were needed as windbreaks, for food and fuel, and for shade and beauty. Morion proposed a tree planting holiday to be called "Arbor Day" at a meeting of the State Board of Agriculture. Arbor Day was first observed in Nebraska in 1872 with the planting of more than a million trees. During the 1870s other states passed legislation to observe Arbor Day. and the tradition began in schools in 1882. Today the most common date for stale observances is lhe last Friday in April, and several U.S. Presidents have proclaimed a National Arbor Day on that date. But a number of slate Arbor Day’s are at other times to coincide with the best tree-planting weather, from January and February in lhe south to May in lhe far north.

Separate accounts are suggested if each spouse feels the need for personal discretionary money In this situation, a joint account should also be kept to pay expenses for groceries, childcare, and utilities.

He leaves wilh a record of 205 wins and 83 losses in 14 years of coaching in the Lakewood basketball program, nine years at the varsity level, five at the freshman level During those years he coached six Tri-River league champions, five district champions, one regional champion and one Class B slate champion "1 considered several things and decided I needed a change and lhat maybe 1 chould get out of basketball. ’ Krauss said Saturday "When you lake a job you set goals, and most of those goals I’ve reached in coaching." Krauss, who was named Class B Coach of the Year in 1980. will coach his last game in June, al the Michigan High School Basket­ ball Coaches Association All-Star game. He is the current president of the Association, a group he helped form early in his career When his term runs out in June. Krauss as a former president will become a board member for life. Krauss is a 1963 graduate of the thumb area's Sebewaing High School where he lettered in basketball and track, receiving all-league recognition in basketball in his senior year In 1968 he received a degree in Physical Education from Michigan State University and went to work for the Lakewood School System. Krauss admitted that 1975, the year of the state championship, is the high point of his career. "We have had so many great teams. 1 hate to single a year out. but nothing can compare with the year we went all the way," he said. "1 don’t think il is possible to duplicate winning it for the first time." The state champion crew of 1974-75 rolled up a 26-1 mark on there way to Crisler Arena and the title. They are one of six Viking teams under Krauss that won over 20 games in a single season, and one of the seven winning teams he has coached over his nine year span as varsity boss. This year's Viking team captured a fourth consecutive Tri-River championship, a feat never accomplished in the league before. Krauss started his varsity career like a house on fire after running up a five year 5726 mark as freshman coach In that first season of 1973-74 his team fashioned a 21-2 mark The state championship team followed the next year and Krauss had a gaudy 47-3 coaching record after just two seasons. Over the next three seasons the Viking basketball program and Krauss returned to earth. The 1975-76 bunch was 8-14. only the second team ever coached by Krauss that did not have a winning record The 1976-77 team returned to winning with a 12-8 mark, but they finished second in the Tri-River, and the 1978-78 team was 3-18, the worst record of any Krauss coached team. But 1978-79 brought in a group of players that had won 35 games under junior varsity mentor Mike Maciasz and freshman coach Earl Darby, and the Vikings owned the TriRiver again, starting the string of four in-arow wilh a 21-3 mark. In 1979-80 the Vikings were 23-1 losing to Okemos in a regional final hosted by Lakewood High School. During lhat season they were rated number one in the state by the Associated Press for five weeks. by Greg Johnson Roily Krauss, the varsity basketball coach at Lakewood High School for the last nine seasons, announced his retirement from coaching.

Last year 1980-81 the Vikings rolled into regional action undefeated once again. They had battled Delton-Kellogg and Hastings in what Krauss termed “Lakewood’s greatest district win". A14-9 East Grand Rapids team ended the Viking season al 22-1 however, and also closed out the high school career of Central Michigan University’s Jeff Heide, the player Krauss refers to as "the best player I’ve ever coached". This year’s team carried the Viking tradition on helping to set a 43 regular season game win streak, and a 32 game win streak in league play. They finished out at 12-9 with Tri-River championship number six for their coach. Promoters expects about 1.000 runners, including top Michigan marathoner Gordon Minty, io find their way to the western Barry County village of Vermontville to compete in the annual Syrup Festival Runs. Promoter Chuck Beachnau has labeled the three runs in one to be held on Sunday. April 25, as the Slate 10 Mile Championship It will be part of The Athletic Congress (TAO Grand Prix Series in Michigan this year The regular open races, a five mile and a ten mile jaunt will be on the fame course as the TAC race. The five mile race will start at 1 p.m. and the ten mile races will start at 2 p.m. Minty, regarded by many runners as one of the top marathoners in Michigan, will be the featured runner in the TAC race. Beachnau reports. Minty was rated tenth in the top 100 of United States male performers in 1981. is rated 28th in the lop 50 all-time best United States male performers, and 68th in the top 100 all-time men’s best performers world wide. Beachnau said. "In most of the running circuits throughout the state, reaction to the news about the race has been ’Where is Vermontville?'. Beachnau said. "But by now. most of the running clubs kn wv where it's located " The former Nashville resident said that If spring decides to come out of hiding Barry County will celebrate wilh a little "Frog Music". Several species of frogs sing when early spring arrives, the Department of Natural Resources reports. Spring peeper frogs are the first to sing, followed by chorus frogs, tree frogs and wood frogs Even the American 'oad gets in on the act with his trill a little later The frogs that sing later in the show in­ clude (he leopard frog, the bull frog, and the familiar spotted green frog Frogs apd toads sing by pumping air into a sack-like membrane in their throat and then using the air to create sound as the air passes out through their mouths, the DNR says This technique, with increased air volume and pressure will result in the level of loudness. Each specie of frog has his own hit song, but they all use them for defending territories and to attract males. One out of every two adult Americans participated in some form of outdoor activity involving fish and wild’ife in 1980. a national survey by the Interior Department’s U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has revealed. Nearly 100 million people engaged in one or more forms of wildlife-related recreation and spent almost $40 billion to pursue their favorite sports or enjoy their other outdoor hobbies, making fish and wildlife truly “big business" in America today. Included in this total are more than 42 million Americans age 16 and older who fished in 1980 and 17 million adults who hunted that same year. Eighty-three million Americans observed or photographed wildlife outings or attracted birds and other wildlife to their homes-over 30 million of whom also fish and hunt. The typical adult American sportsman who fishes or hunLs is likely Io be male (71 percent), white t92 percent), under age 35 (52 percent ). earn under $30,000 < 71 percent). and live in a rural area or town under 50.000 population (76 percent). These preliminary results from the 1980 National Survey of Fishing Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation were an­ nounced this week by the Fish and Wildlife Service at the 47th annual North American Wildlife and Natural Resources Conference in Portland. Oregon. The 1980 survey is the sixth in the series of national surveys con­ ducted by the Service every five years since 1955 Anglers planning to go for steelhead in Michigan this spring can find out where they are biting, what they are biting, and even if they are biting by calling the Michigan Travel Bureau's Toll-Free, recorded con­ ditions report line.

Robins, killdeer, and other ground feeding, insect, and fruit eaters are looking everywhere for food. Flocks have been seen along roadsides and in open areas of lawn and field looking for earthworms and crawling insects which have gone un­ derground due to the cold. To help provide a temporary food source for these birds the Michigan Audubon Society suggests the following. Soak in water dry cal food, dry dog food, or chicken scratch and chop into very small bits. (This provides protein, ■ Also chop apples or canned fruit into small bits and mix with soaked dog or cal food Sprinkle mixture on the ground where robins or other insect eaters are seen gathered together, and leave the area so that they may feed. The Michigan Audubon Society is con­ cerned about the effects of the storm on many other of the insect eating migrants including phoebes and bluebirds.

Thursday, April 15,1982 Hastings, Michigan Radant and Sunior won’t seek re-election to county board; Mrs. Coleman announces candidacy Two Barry County Commissioners representing the city of Hastings have an­ nounced they will step down from their posts at the end of their current terms and a for­ mer county commissioner lias decided to step into the local political ring again. Veteran Commissioner and current Board Chairman Kenneth R. Radant and two-term Commissioner C. Richard Sunior. both Republicans, announced this week that they will not seek reelection to the county board. Carolyn Coleman, a former commissioner from Hastings' first and second wards with six years nt experience in county govern­ ment. has announced she will be a Republican candidate for County Board District 1 in this year's election. < District 1 in 1983 will be comprised of all four wards in Hastings plus 133 persons in section six of Hastings Township and 13 in a section north of the city limits.) Mrs. Coleman said two factors influenced her decision to seek election to the county board again. Announcements by Radant and Sunior to leave county government and the new county commissioner apportionment Nine percent water, sewer rate hike sought by Robert J. Johnston A water and sewer rate hike that will push the top water rate over $1 per hundred cubic feel has been proposed by the Hastings City Council. The mne percent across the board hike was placed before the council al its regular meeting, Monday evening. Sewer rates will jump to $1.45 per hundred cubic feet. The rates were last increased in 1981 after three yer. *s at rates set in 1978 The 1978 hike pushed sewer rates up 80 percent and water rales 45 percent. "After the big rale increase." Michael Klovanich, director of public services, said Thursday, "we told the council we’d try to survive on it for three years. Now. because of our costs going up. we try to raise it a smaller amount every year." Klovanich noted that waler usage in the city has dropped below the levels of 1960. resulting in lower revenues to operate the system. Because the system is financed by revenue bonds, it cannot operate at a loss. • Were averaging 919,000 gallons per day," he said. "In 1960, we were averaging over a million gallons per day." The top water usage in the city was in 1966 at 1.5 million gallons per day Klovanich said that industry usage has dropped considerably across the last 15 years. In 1970. he said. E.W. Bliss Co. and Hastings Manufacturing Co. used 52 percent of the city water. Today, he continued, in­ dustry uses only one-third of the water, while commercial use accounts for one-third and residences consume the remaining third. Industrial use- dropped. Klovanich ex­ plained. because firms have installed cooling towers and are recycling water, foundries at Viking Corp, and E.W. Bliss Co. have closed and one company re-opened a 10-inch well in 1981. Klovanich added that sewage treatment costs are higher today because waste is treated to a greater degree than previously to remove more pollutants. The rate proposal was turned over to Richard Shaw, city attorney, to write the necessary ordinances. A public hearing will be heid before approval of the change. A new contract with Hastings Ambulance Service. Inc. was approved which reduced the city's subsidy by $12,478, but users will now have higher fees. The city will pay the firm $34,128.62 per year for the three years of the contract. Hastings. Rutland and Carlton townships also had reductions in their subsidies. Hastings Township will pay $14,028.51, down from $15,482.65. Rutland dropped from $15,105.02 to $12,996.26 and Carlton was •■educed to $10,530.34, a decrease of only $95.87. „ . , The rate for ambulance calls will rise from $80 to $85 and from $1.50 to S2 per loaded mile. Councilman Gordon Bennett (Second Ward) said that the Public Safety and Parking Committee recommended in­ creased policing of free parking areas as the best way to control all-day parking in twohour lots. Bennett said that the committee had discussed the problems with the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce and other people involved. "The expense of putting the meters back in is beyond what the city can do.” Bennett said He pointed out that the city has a lot adjacent to the Fire Department which permits all-day parking. The committee will continue to watch the problem. Bennett said. plan which reduces the number of districts from the present 11 to seven in January of 1983 were the influential factors, she said. •With the board going down to seven members, experience will be important,” she said. "Serving on the county commission is a difficult job . and experience is needed." Radant and Sunior both have endorsed Mrs. Coleman’s candidacy. Radant says he had decided some time ago that this would be his last term on the county board. He Is currently the senior member of the board of commissioners, serving since January 1. 1969. That was the year when the face of county government switched from the board of supervisors to the board of com­ missioners as a result of a constitutional change. Radanl is the first commissioner ever Council approved participation in mayor exchange activities during Michigan Week with officials from Keego Harbor, a city of 3,oou near Pontiac. Keego Harbor leader? will visit Hastings one day. and Hastings officials will return the visit on another day during the week. Closing of Church Street from Green Street to Center Street from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on May l was approved The American Legion Post requested the closing to conduct a flag disposal ceremony from 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. A letter from the Hastings Elks Lodge requesting it be allowed to purchase the property now leased from the city, at 121 N. Church St. was referred to the Property Committee. The letter from Elks board chairman William Romick requested pur­ chase of both the building and parking area at the site. Approval was given to the Police Depart­ ment to purchase two portable RCA ••walkietalkies” for $2,547. The two now used by the department are nine years old. The Police Department also was authorized to advertise a computer system which is not needed by the department. The $1,500 system was purchased be the previous police chief, but the present chief. Mark G. Steinfort. does not believe it is neeoed. Mayor Kenneth J. Howe said after the meeting. Council discussed the problem of loose dogs running in the city and directed Shaw to study the present ordinances for ways of control. Shaw said the city has been operating under the county’s dog ordinance, which makes it illegal for dogs Io run at large. Shaw said that the county animal control officer is responsible for control in the city, but the enforcement staff is undermanned. Councilman Patrick Vaughan (First Ward) suggested that an ordinance be ap­ proved giving owners a penalty for loose dogs. A request for closing W Oliver Street from Broadway to Church streets was denied. elected to serve three years as county board chairman. He previously served five years as chairman of the Barry County Republican Parly. His position as county commissioner is the only elected political office he has held. Radant, originally from Owosso, moved to Hastings in 1958, soon after graduating from Michigan State University. He went to work forWBCH that year ; became manager of the radio station in 1962; and eventually pur­ chased the station. He says he has no future plans to hold office “I’m always going to be interested in the county and local scene in government. It is an interesting experience to be involved." Radant said. Sunior, serving his fourth year on the hoard, said he decided not to seek election to another term for personal reasons. He said he has plans to travel and other obligations to keep. Sunior retired as chief of the Hastings City Police Department in May of 1978. He said he does not have any future political plans. Radanl said he is "delighted that Carolyn Coleman has agreed to enter the race for county commissioner. “Carolyn was highly respected by all who observed her intelligent dnd moderate ap proach to county government when she served on the board from 1973 through 1978." Radant noted that Mrs. Coleman declined to seek re-election in the fall of '78 to pursue work on a master's degree in management at Aquinas College "and obviously, this will enrich the excellent grasp of county government she already has." "The fact that Carolyn Coleman has a broad knowledge of all the issues and is not a single issue candidate will make her an excellent choice for county commissioner. The smaller seven-member board that will be elected to assume office on January 1, 1983,- means it is vital that voters select experienced and highly capable candidates such as Carolyn Coleman." Radanl said. In endorsing. Mrs. Coleman, Sunior also stressed the importance of her experience. "Mrs. Coleman was on the board six years and has the experience I think the board is going to be needing, especially since we are getting down to seven commissioners. "I'm grateful for both of their en­ dorsements," Mrs. Coleman said. With fewer commissioners on the board next year, she .'eels that ways of managing* county affairs will need a thorough examination. Some type of "on-site management" will be needed in the future to handle administration of county govern­ ment. she said. Mrs. Coleman has the distinction of being the first woman to serve on the county board when she was first elected commissioner. She also was the first woman elected board chairman in 1978. A native of Mayfield Kentucky, Mrs. Coleman graduated from the University of Michigan wjtha bachelor ol arts degree and a teaching certificate. She is currently enrolled in the master’s of management program at Aquinas: She and her husband. James, reside at 109 W State Rd. Fine Lake area without power for time Wednesday Carolyn Coleman C.

Tuesday, overturned a Planning and Zoning Commission decision that had put the brakes on a controversial cam­ pground in Charlton Park. The 7-4 vote approves a zoning change for 139 acres of the park. The Parks and Recreation Commission has announced plans to turn the site into a campground. Strong opposition was voiced by about 15 people and petitions with more than 40 signatures of Charlton Park area residents were presented at a public hearing con­ cerning the zoning change on Monday. March 22. Following that meeting the Planning and Zoning Commission made their decision to deny the Parks and Recreation Commission's request for the change from R-2 (residential! to AR agricultural residential). Under AR. a campground is allowed on a special use permit.

PUBLIC OPINION: by Ken Reibel THIS WEEK S QUESTION: In recent months political leaders have been saying that budgets cannot be cut anymore and taxes must be raised. Do you agree with their views that government CANNOT be cut and that taxes must be increased? Why or why not? Robert Newton This week's question hit close to home with a lot of folks with whom we talked. Most everyone wanted to see more cuts, and many­ cited wasteful spending and politician's pay­ raises as targets for those cuts. "Personally, 1 don’t see how taxes can be increased anymore," says Bruce Hunt, a Hastings resident and employee of the National Bank of Hastings. "The working man just can’t lake any more." He says he would like losee more cut out of the military, but not education. Jeff Innes of Freeport thinks that .our leaders are being less t han square with us. “I think taxes should be reduced," he says. “We re paying more and more each year, and at the same time less and less people are working in government. To whom are we paying the money?" Bob Steeby of Hastings is against a tax DoloresTyler Ken Haight increase, and thinks there's too much waste in government. He cites "experimental programs" as an example of that waste. "The government's spending money on the life cycle of the tsetse fly...it's a bunch of baloney, a waste of money," says Steeby. Larry Bonner of Hastings sees spending cuts as an inducement to government reform. “I think what Reagan meant when he started cuts was that if you cut programs, things will clean themselves up." Using welfare as an example, Bonner says “people that don't need it shouldn't be on it, and people that need it should get it. But there's so much paperwork within the system, that it’s impossible for the government to check out people or do the job they should be doing." He thinks that if the welfare system was "cleaned up", further cuts in govern­ ment wouldn't be as pressing. KathySchantz "Taxes are too high right now." says Robert Newton of Hastings. He also thinks government is too big right now. and would like to see fraud stamped out as a means of trimming the defeeit "As a former government employee. 1 would not like to see further cuts." says Dolores Tyler of Woodland. Tyler, who is layed off from her Department of Social Services job, docs not think income taxes should be raised "because everyone should share the burden.',’ Ken Haight of Hastings had one thought on his mind: "I think they should cut the salaries of those high paid congressmen." And Kathy Schantz of Hastings says "People don't mind paying taxes if govern­ ment spent them wisely." She think the size of government can be cut. and that there are “loo many people involved in unnecessary functions.” Second Opinion: sssss In recent months political leaders have been saying that budgets cannot be cut anymore and taxes must be raised. Do you agree with their views that government cannot lx? cut and that taxes must be in­ creased? Why or why not? Ronald Reisterer, comments: "Budgets can be cut. and taxes must be reduced."says Ronald Reisterer, candidate for state representative. "The greatest inducement to production and prosperity in any state or nation,” says Reisterer."is to simply allow people to keep the fruits ot their labor. As a people, we must reject t he notion that government can give us something for nothing." "In reality", says Reisterer,"government doesn't create wealth, it only redistributes it, and in order to give, government must take, and an increased tax level smothers initiative." Donald H. Gilmer, comments: State Rep. Donald H. Gilmer doesn't agree with those leaders who say the size of government cannot be cut. and that taxes must be increased. He points out that he is one of five republicans who pul together a package of cuts of over $100 million lhat can be cui from stale government. "We got every last cut that we could oul of the governor before we raised taxes," says Gilmer, adding "It is always possible to cut more money." Candidate Ronald Reisterer Rep. Donald H. Gilmer Concerns about equalization process told to county board An attorney representing Woodland. Carlton, and Thornapple townships ex­ pressed concern lo the Barry County Board of Commissioners Tuesday about the equalization process, especially as it affects agricultural assessments. Attorney Larry Ainslee from the legal firm of Segal. Hudson. Gee, Shaw, and Fisher, told the board that the tentative figures of increases in equalized value for the three tow nships he represents "are oul of line with increases in other townships." On top of those increases, if the state tax commission requires an additional two percent increase for agricultural property, it will be spread across the county. Commissioner Walter Soya noted that the "state makes its decision after the county equalization process is complete." Ainslee reported (hat the tentative in­ creases in the equalization value for Thor­ napple Township amounts lo 14.94 percent; for Carlton Township. 11.39 percent; and Woodland Township. 8.85 percent. Ainsleesaid the three townships had asked him tu check into the increases and also suggest to the county Ixjard that they "would be pleased to participate in the development of an alternate equalization process." He said the townships are interested in an equalization plan that would determine agricultural assessments "correctly and uniformly " Ainslee said Thursday (today) that he has not received any feedback from the county board,' but that he is willing to meet with commissioners to discuss the matter Equalization figures are only tentative at this time because all of the taxing units (as of last Ti esday > had not reported their figures yet The deadline for reporting equalization figures was Iasi week. In other business, commissioners ap­ proved a two month leave of absence for County Building Inspector David Koons who is attending taw school. The board also approved sending Com­ missioner Edward Daniels to a safety con­ ference in Lansing tater this month. �The Hastings Banner. Thursday.

Swarthout. a 48 year old Charlotte attorney, announced today that he is a candidate for circuit judge for the 5th judical district comprising Eaton and Barry Counties. Swarthout is a native ol Michigan, and was raised in what is now Farmington Hills. The Swarthouts have resided in Charlotte since early 1971. He is a Korean veteran and member of V.F.W.. American Legion. Lions. American Tria! Lawyers Association. Michigan Trial Lawyers Association. Eaton County Bar Association. Mississippi Bar, and Michigan State Bar. Swarthout is a member of the Lawrence Avenue United Methodist Church in Charlotte. Swarthout will be facing the cncumbant Judge. Hudson E Deming whose term ex­ pires January. 1983. If no other candidates qualify by the deadline. Swarthout and Deming will automatically be placed on the ballot for the November election and will not be in the August. 1982 primary. Swarthout says there is a growing need for respect of the laws and the courts and that a circuit judge has some responsibility to satisfy this need. One of the first things Swarthout proposes to do when elected is to Barry County jobless figures still climbing by Ken Rcibel The unemployment rale for Barry County rose by almost one percent between the months of January and February this year, according to the Michigan Employment Security Commission. MESC says the county' unemployment recommend appointment of a committee of the bar associations in the 5th district to work with the court to improve the system and relationship between bench and bar.

However. MESC cautions that the figures for Barry County alone are "unofficial", pending further study. The ui employment rate for the Barry and Calhoun standard metropolitan statistical area (SMSA) rose 1.6 percent in those months, from 13.7 to 15.3 percent. The MESC survey says there were 10.800 out of work in January, and 12,200 jobless in February. These figures represent an 11.7 percent in­ crease in the number of unemployed in the Barry-Calhoun labor market area. Statewide, the jobless rate rose only onetenth of one percent, from 16 to 16.1 percent. The survey says in February there were 684.000 idle workers in the state, compared to 600.000 in February of last year. Unemployemt increaed in seven of Michigan's 13 statistical areas during February, while dropping in five others. In the Benton Harbor area, the figure remained unchanged. The release of area estimates normally follows the release of statewide estimates by about four weeks. Delton Area CEDAR CREK BIBLE. Campground Road. It mi S .

Thursday, April 15,1982- Page 5 Saxon netters look stronger going into ’82 season Based on percentage, the only wav to go is up. At least, that is the case with the Hastings tennis team. SaxoncoachTom Freridge think., his team is 20 percent lx?ttcr than last year, and if that is the case, the Hastings netters should be able Io improve on their third place finish in the Twin Valley of last year "In some areas we are stronger and 1 think we will have some success." Freridge said. “We have three starters at singles back and that is always a good sign." "We should lx? able to move up a notch or two and cause some trouble in the league standings." Freridge added. Senior Scott Payne, a starter at singles last year, returns Io be the number one singles man. He was second in the Twin Valley last year and a regional semifinalist. Seniors Chris Nye and Greg Meyers, starters and third and fourth singles last year, return Io fight over the second and third singles spots this season. Steve Battiste, a junior, is the leading candidate for the number four singles spot, but freshman Dave Flood is giving him a good run. Freridge said. Seniors Mike Brown and Dave Beck. let­ termen in doubles play last season, return to make up parts of the six doubles spots Flood will probably see action at doubles and junior Eric Boesch is also a top can­ didate. Todd Stuart, a junior and a newcomer to the tennis program, has impressed Freridge and he will likely earn a shot at a doubles spot. Leading candidates to wrap up the final spot in the three combos are senior Randy Wieck. freshman Hob Olson and freshman Tom Freridge. the coach’s son. other netters that will be looking to crack the lineup are freshman Craig Smith, senior Doug Clark, freshman Tony Marfia, and freshman Tim Tebo. Freridge expects Harper Creek and Hillsdale to be the teams to beat in the Twin Valley. The netters opened the season Tuesday when they hosted the Lakewood Vikings in a non league encounter. On Friday they resume action with a trip to Caledonia. League action starts on April 20 when the Saxons entertain Sturgis Middleville netters out to repeat as champions The Thornapple-Kellogg Tennis team is out to win the OK-Blue title just like they are every year, and they will have the same problem they face every year—Hudsonville. For the last eight years the OK-Blue title has gone to either the Trojans or Hud­ sonville. Last year Middleville brought home their fifth title under Coach Larry Seger, splitting regular season matches with Hudsonville, and then besting them and the rest of the league in the conference match. Seger said it should be a two team race again this year. "Hudsonville is very strong and have a lot ofdepth." he said. “If we beat them it will be at the top of the lineup." Two prime Trojans return at the top of the lineup. Junior Chris Noah, conference champ at second singles last year, and senior Steve Scott, conference champ at third singles last year, are fighting it out in practice for the number one singles job this season. Noah has never lost a conference match as a varsity player. As a sophomore he was conference champ at third singles logo along with last year’s second singles title. Scott is an sparkling athlete in football and basketball and his competitive nature makes him a top notch tennis player, Seger said. The third singles spot could go to any of four, players. Seniors Del Buxton, Jeff Chapman. JamieSchierbeek and sophomore Craig Mathiesen are all in the battle for the final singles spot in the lineup. The three losers of that battle will win spots in doubles, Seger Said. Roundingout the starting lineup in doubles play is still in doubt. Seger said. Leading candidates to fill those spots are sophomore Chris Wingier. senior Dan Tooker, freshman Todd Courts and junior Tim Lewis. The Trojans rolled to a 14-1 league mark last year, losing to Hudsonville 4’3 for the only blemish on their schedule. They open this year’s quest for a title with a non conference match at Forest Hills on Monday. April 19. and then meet you know who (Hudsonville) on Thursday. April 23, to start league play. Lakewood netters working hard towards consistency Lakewood Viking tennis coach Dave Nisbet wishes his players would quit wat­ ching television. "They see McEnroe or Borg putting people away and they think they can do it," Nisbet complained. "To be successiul at our level we have to play fundamental tennis and get better at what we are able to do." Five returning letter winners hold the key to the Vikings improving a 1-14 mark from a year ago. and Nisbet thinks it can be done. One big reason the second year mentor is optimistic is the return of his number one singles player senior Mark Duane. Right now he is the only lineup spot that Nisbet is sure of however.

The loser of that battle will drop to doubles. Jim Thorp, a doubles player last season, is back to help form one tandem. Others that are being considered to fill out the doubles spots are Vince Pennington, Bryan Brock, Scott Kidder and the lone freshman on the team Terry Henderson, Tim’s brother. "1 don’t think we will win the Tri-River, but I do think we can improve from last year," Nisbet said. "If they guys would just start doing what they are supposed to do. and stop imitating the pros."

Hastings Saxon nine setting high goals Eight reluming lei ter winners and six returning regulars are pari of the reason the Hastings Saxons basehall squad is selling high goals this season. Bernie Oom. entering his 17th year as lhe head baseball coach, said this could be the year of lhe baseball Saxon ••Our chances in lhe Twin Valley are very good this year, he said. "We have set some high goals including winning the Maple Valley Tournament.” Except for catcher, lhe entire infield returns intact. John Karpinski, a three year starter at shortstop, heads lhe list He was an all Twin Valley performer last year with a .319 bat­ ting average. 14 RBI's and 20 stolen bases. The other half of lhe keystone combo that is back is senior Bruce Meyers. He brings a 2B3 batting average and nine RBI season as experience credentials. Senior Stu Spyker, a 286 hitler last year, returns to handle first base chores. (tom said he is smooth defensively and a consistent clutch hitter Senior Mark Larsen will man the third base slot when he isn't fulfilling starting pi ching roles. When he is on lhe hill junior newcomer Craig Mawer. up from the junior varsity squad, will handle the hot corner. Oom said that juniors Drew Howitt and Randy Conner are pushing for work in the infield. The Saxons will look to senior Gary Rosenberger, who didn’t play last year, and junior Bruce Martin to handle catching duties. Horn said both are capable catchers and will improve with experience. Two starters are back in lhe outfield, and should fill two-thirds of lhe area again. Senior Dann Howitt, a .377 hitler last year, will lx* expected Io handle one of lhe spots when not pitching, and knock in a lol of runs Eric Shaeffer, a .229 hitler, is back to lend experience and a strong arm Competition for the final slot and to fill in when Howitt is or. the mound is wide.open. Seniors Bruce Anderson and Randy Connor, and juniors Steve Conner, Tom Finnie.

Coach Wes Vandenburg said that this year's Viking squad will put the bat on the ball, use aggressive baserunning and exhibit overall learn hustle. Only four letterwinners return to carry out the philosophy, but Vandenburg expects his team to compete for lhe Tri-River title. “The league is really balanced this year," he said. "The race will be wide open I think, and we can be in it if things come around like they should." Seniors Scott Hershberger. Paul Durkee, Rob Dygas and Rick Formar return with the most experience. Hershberger, the school record holder for stolen bases patrolled center field last year, but will handle shortstop duties this season. Durkee, an outfielder that hit .351 and led the team in walks last year, will be the center fielder this time around. Dygas and Forman return as experienced battery members. Dygas comes back with a 4-0 pitching mark from a year ago. and Forman returns as a .250 hitter and capable backstop, Vandenburg said. Because of the weather and spring break, Vandenburg is still unsure of his lineup. Several players are still in the running for most of the positions. Junior Randy Hazel, and seniors Jay Bennett and Stephen Wilcox are battling it out for time at first base. Senior Ed Salazar and sophomore Dave Joppie, a .554 hitter on the junior varsity level, are locked into battle for the second base rights. Hershberger will be the shortstop with left fielder Doug Foltz in a back up role. Dygas. junior Phil Boyer and junior Bob Hines will all see action at third, Vandenburg said. Durkee and Foltz are probably -set in center and left respectively, but right field is wide open. Five juniors. Joe Vanllouten. Paul Pelfry. Sam McCarthy, Dan Thomas and Matt O'Mara are all looking to get in some in­ nings. Backup in the infield will fall to Bill Herrera. Vandenburg hopes to find three starling pitchers out of a group of five. Dygas will probably be lhe number one man on the hill. The other starting spots will be filled by Durkee, Salazar. Hazel or Bennett. "Dygas has the experience so that makes him number one." Vandenburg said. "The others have good arms but lhe first few gameswill tell us more than anything else." Frank Colegrove, a former Coopersville coach, will help Vandenburg coach his philosophy. Vikings Members of >he Lakewood baseball team ore (fromt. from left) JoDee Buller.

Michigan Maple Valley squad wants to go out a winner The Maple Valley Lions enter their last year of play in lhe TCAA league and Coach Larry Lenz said one of their major goals is to go out a winner. "We want to be the TCAA champs and anything after that will be frosting on the cake.” Lenz said. The Lions enter the season with six returning starters, among them a top notch battery Senior pitcher Walt Maurer is back and so is junior catcher Tony Dunkelberger. They will trade off at pitcher and catcher filling the number one and number two slots al both positions Last year's shortstop Eric Wolff is back for his senior season, but Lenz has moved him to third base to make room for sophomore Jeff Starring He came up to the varsity for some action as a freshman last year The remaining three starters that return are senior Jeff Christensen, who returns at second base. Mike Kelley who comes back as an outfielder, and Rich Elliston who is back at first base. Another sophomore that came up for tournaments last season. Marty Martin, u ill fill one of the outfield spots, probably center. Senior Randy Joostberns will probably play right joining Martin and Kelley to patrol the Lian outfield. From third to first the lineup looks like Wolff. Starring. Christensen and Elliston. Joining Dunkelberger and Maurer on the mound corps will be senior Rick Roberts and junior Tim Ramey. Junior Bob Brum is expected to help out in the infield and in the outfield. "Right now we look better than I an­ ticipated.” Lenz said. "We played well in a scrimmage with Hastings, and I saw a lot of improvement." The Lions have just 12 players on the roster, and Lenz said because of that they will all see plenty of playing time. Central Montcalm and Carson will be the teams to beat in the TCAA Lenz feels. "But don't count us out." he said. "I've been impressed with out hustle and at­ titude." The Lions were supposed to open this week with games against Lakewood Tuesday, and Caledonia tonight League play starts on Tuesday. April 20. when Pennfield comes to town for a doubleheader.

"I think it is a realistic goal to talk title." Evans said of his Thornapple-Kellogg baseball team. "We have some quality ball players back, and the attitude hfis been very strong." Some of the players back include two starting pitchers, senior left hander Gordie Smith and senior righty Tom Strumberger. Evans expects them to be the one-two punch of the staff, but admits that juniors Chris Miller and first baseman Tim Lukas as well as sophomore Dave Perry could see some hill duly The other half of the battery is also back Senior Mike Lukas. Tim s brother, will handle most of the catching chores. Senior Jim Purvis will back him up Junior Jim Schipper returns after starting at shortstop his sophomore year. Tim Lukas will play first like he did last year, and senior Jeff McKenna, who did not play last year, will be the second sacker. Bob McCrath will round out the infield at third base, but juniors Miller and Jeff Kerber are pressing him for a job Returner Dave Northrup, a senior, will handle one of the outfield spots Perry will probably get a n6d somewhere in the ou'field and Smith and Strumberger will be in the outfield when they are not pitching. Evans said. Senior Harvey LaPierre and juniors Jim Verlinde and Devin Kidder, will press the starters for work in the outfield. Evans said his 15 man crew just needs some experience. I'm kind of looking at what I think we can do." he said. "If we play up to our capabilities, we can lake it -the league title) " Nicholson Cake Supply Center 2539 Heath Road Hastings, Michigan Evans expects Kelloggsville and Hud­ sonville to offer the stiffest competition in the OK-Blue. Evans was the junior varsity coach last season and has coached most of the players before. "I don't think there will be any problems because I'm a new coach." he said.

Fred and Jean Hauser Hastings, AAichigan National Bank of Hastings Corner of State and Broadway Hastings, Michigan —Member FDIC— Delton-Kellogg nine hoping for hot days The KVA schedule makers have decided on a season full of double-header encounters, and that has rookie Delton-Kellogg baseb". II coach Vick Haas hoping his team has a lot of "hot days". "It means we will see each team just once for a pair of games," Haas said. “If you get hot and have a good day. you can win both, but if you have a bad day. you can drop two league games.” Whether the Panthers have hot days or not will depend largely on six seniors that return. Part of that group will help form an all senior infield and Haas figures that infield experience will be the strength of his team. Senior catcher Craig Pennock, and senior first baseman Ken Francisco, head the group of returning infielders. Both are legitimate .300 hitters Haas said, and should provide leadership The keystone combination will be handled by a pair of seniors. Bobby Kerns will cover second base and Rod Swinehart will handle* shortslop duties. Chuck Simonovic. a senior that played tennis last year, will handle the hot corner at third base. Senior Al Debruyn. the lone returning starting pitcher, will be called upon to handle the number one pitching slot, and senior Ken Petersen will be the lone returner in the outfield. Haas, who coached at the junior varsity level two years ago. said the outfield is a toss up right now. Junior Rick Swinehart is the leading candidate for a center field job, but the other two spots could be filled by two of five players. The five that are battling for the remaining lineup spots are Petersen, senior Chris Tobias, junior Jim VanHoose, junior Jodi Adams and junior Wade Lester. "The outfield is really a question mark." Haas said. "As far as fielding they are all pretty even I guess it will come down to who hits the ball the best.” The Panthers will depend on DeBruyn and senior Robert Stephens as a one two punch to star* the season on the mound. Mark Smith. Simonovic and Kerns should also see some mound duty. Offensively Haas said the Panthers will try to use their speed. "We will run and try to do some hit and run." Haas said. "We have some good athletes and that should be an advantage.” Haas expects Parchment and Bangor to be the teams to beat in the KVA. "We’re going to shoot for winning league games,” he said. “We haven't really set a goal, but we want to compete for the league title."

Money wasn't available for a program last year, but thanks to boosters and a special fund drive, golf is back. Hastings is the only school in the county however, to have such luck. "We have 11 duals and that's a pretty good schedule." the veteran coach said. “We haven't been on a green yet. but some of the girls look like they can swing the clubs pretty good.” Three seniors and one junior that played for CarLson two years ago are back to provide experience. Seniors Barb Colvin, Deb Fowler and Tracy Wallin, and junior Lisa Brownell are the familiar faces. Newcomers to the squad include junior Sue Collins, sophomores Cindy Collins. Deb Dykstra and Angie Weller and freshman Wendy Fowler "They all show some promise and it looks like the qualifying for each match will be good competition." Carlson said. “We're looking to win some matches Carlson said the five starters for eadh match will be picked as they have during his 20 years— by a team qualifying round. I can't even tell who can putt yet. so it's hard to guess who will be the starters." Carlson added. "They will determine that when we finally get on the course anyway."

Tom Brooke, a senior that finished fourth in the district in discus last year and was the TCAA champ in the event, heads the group of returners. Tony Reid, a junior sprinter and long jumper that was second in the league long jump last year, is also back. Randy Beechnau. a distance runner that placed in every meet last year, will lead the long mileage crew. Senior Cory Furlong is back to sprint and be a captain on relay teams. Steve Hummell, a senior that set a school record ‘St year in the 336 low hurdles, and was second in two league meet hurdle events, is also listed as a returner. Rounding out the letterwinners is Scott Alldaffer. a sophomore distance man. "The rest of the squad is young," Kirwin said. "If they run hard we can have the same type of record as last year." Some of the young guys that Kirwin ex­ pects to help out are Gary Reid, a freshman pole vaulter and relay man, Jim Simonds, a strong freshman 440 runner, and Robert Delton track coach Fred Pessell calls his team "very young" and says improvement will be the key to success. "We have everal kids back but we don't have depth.” Pessell said.

The football tackle that is headed to Central Michigan University upon graduation, was a conference clump in the discus last year. Sprinting senior Steve Berry, a member of the mile relay record setting team nf last year is back. Junior sprinter Dan Hogan and sophomore Scott Woodstock are also back to bolster the sprinting corps. In addition, Pessell said that transfer student Bob Schuster will also do some sprinting. Tim Hogan, the brother of Dan, returns as a high and low hurdler. He lettered as a freshman. Junior Rusty Carroll is back to handle the high jumping and some low hurdles. Dave Vickery returns lorun the 440 and pole vault, and Jeff Jones is back to help the Buchanan's with the distance events. "Except for Miller the field events could be a question mark." Pessell said. "As far as distances and sprints we seem to have some good athletes. Again. 1 think depth will be a problem in all areas." "The young kids will have to come through." The Panthers were 6-4 last year and Pessell said a winning season this year is possible with a lot of hard work.

"From whai I’ve seen in practice, our hitting is decent and as soon as we get some experience we should be real competitive," Anderson said "We lost six starters, so there are a lot of holes Io I ill. but we have some talent " . The Saxons return five players that saw considerable action, often times as starters, on last year s fourth place Twin Valley squad Super Sophomore Tam my. Connor, a team leader in several categories as a freshman last season on the varsity team, returns as an al I-league shortstop to head the list of veterans. Seniors Theresa llause and Sheri John­ cock. who shared the third base slot last season, both return to bolster the infield. In the outheld seniors Dee Lowell and Lisa Cole, both part time starters last year, return to round out the players with a lot of experience A trio of juniors, that played most of the year at the junior varsity level last season, offer the experience they gained after being brought up to varsity for the last few games a year ago. Sheri Blair, the junior varsity pitcher last season and the sister c»f graduated pitcher Michelle Blair, heads the trio. Outfielders Teresa Maurer and Amy Stack are the other juniors with some varsity experience. As far as a starling lineup. Anderson said she will be trying several combinations over the first three or four games. Blair heads the candidates for the pitching spot based on her limited experience. Others that Anderson said have been working on the mound are Connor. Cole. Carri Dunn. Teresa Maurer and Paula Atkinson. Stack and Lowell have been working at catcher, a position that Anderson said is wide open. Maurer and Atkinson have spent the time at first base in practice. Leading candidates for the second base spot are sophomore Laura Oom. Johncock, and Cole. Connor will need little help at short, but if she does. Maurer. Oom. Johncock and Cole have all been working there. Third base will also look like last year with Hause and Johncock handling the hoi corner. In left field Dunn and Maurer are battling for innings, and Stack and Cole have been working in center Senior Katy Ixiughrin or Lowell will be in right field, Anderson thinks. "Some of the positions will be easier to figure once we get a few games under our belts." Anderson said. Right now. it is just too hard to tell." The Saxons opened their season Tuesday with a non-league battle at Delton-Kellogg and will lake on Ionia in another non-league game ton'ght at the Hastings Held. league play kicks off Saturday. The Saxons venture to Sturgis for a doubleheader. Member* of the Lakewood softball learn ore (front, from left) Traci Faulkner. Lisa McCaul, Angie Goodemoot. Sharon Sauers, (second row) Karrie Price. Becky Geiger. Lis Huyck. Kristi Sbese, Jenny Carlson, (back) Tonje Frank. Carla Jackson. Chris Wilcox. Michelle Forman, and Coach Steve Secor. Nine letterwinners and seven starters are back, giving the Lakewood Viking softball squad a good chance to carry on their string of winning seasons under Coach Steve Secor. Over lhe last three years lhe Vikings have been 54-19 under Secor. Last year's squad was 16-11 on the heels of 22-3 and 16-5 squads. “We have had some pretty good teams and 1 think this one will have a good year." Secor said. The nine letterwinners that offer experince towards the goal of a "good year" are senior Kristi Seese. senior Sharon Sauers, junior Pat Sutton, senior Angie Goodemoot. senior Tonja Frank, junior Liz Huyck. junior Karrie Price, senior Lisa McCaul. and junior JennyCarlson. Seese heads the group because of her Centerfield play and her .392 batting average last season., Sauers was a .284 hitter and Goodemoot and Frank were both over .300 as starters. Price returns with a 12-6 pitching mark from last season to handle most of the mound chores again. Huyck is back to handle the hot corner, Sutton will do lhe catching and McCaul will play second base. CarLson should see action in lhe outfield along with Sauers and maybe Frank, who just might nandle designated hitter duties, Secor said. Becky Geiger. Carla Jackson and Chris Wilcox are looking to crack lhe lineup. Geiger, a sophomore will work for lime at short. Jackson will play in the outfield and pitch some, and Wilcox will patrol in lhe outfield. Geiger is a sophomore and Jackson and Wilcox are both juniors. Senior Tracy Faulkner, a first base person, and junior Michelle Forman, a pitcher up from the junior varsity round out lhe team. "The returning players will be lhe key to lhe team, but 1 hope that some of the others will contribute," Secor said. Secor sees Fremont. Greenville and Lowell as lough Tri-River foes, but he expects his team to be in the race. The Vikings open league play Saturday with a visit to Fremont. Jamie Simons. Improvement should be easy for Lion softball team When your team is 0-20 the year before, improvement is winning just one game. But Maple Valley softball coach Dan Downing figures his team will improve a lot this season and that a .500 season is easily within reach. "I would say at least .500 and maybe even compete for the league title." Downing said. • We have some players back that have experience and we have improved in all areas, defensively, offensively and speed. "There is^io try about it. we are definitelygoing to improve." A group of six seniors that return will be the leaders of lhe club They are Cindy Brumm. Julie Dormer. Kelli Cowell. Carla Sutfin. Pam Knoll and Lynn DeGroot. Downing also expects a lot out of sophomores Jamie Carpenter and Tpmmy Corkins. i Around the infield the lineup looks like the switch hitting Knoll al first. Corkins at second. DeGroot at short, and Cowell at third. Carpenter and Dormer should hold down outfield spots and the other spot could be filled by one of four players. The four that are battling for that spot are Lori Gardner. Cindy Symonds. Stacy Hill and Paula Ser­ vice. Colleen Hoffman and Carla Sutfin will share catching duties. Brumm will be lhe starting pitcher and Tania Colby will back her up. rounding out the battery. "I’m quite optimistic." Downing admitted. "Last year they had a problem with fun­ damentalsand t hat is the area we will devote our time to." Delton-Kellogg shooting for a winning season The Delton-Kellogg softball team suffered through a 1-14 season last year, and Coach Rick Zelenock is looking for much better results this season. "We are shooting for a winning season." he said. "We have two strong pitchers and some good players to back them up. I'm looking for 500 percent improvement." Junior Lisa Price and senior Tracy Leinaar will share the mound duties for the Panthers in their double header schedule. “With the league going to a double header set up. I think it gives us an advantage." Zelenock said. "I saw loo many teams get by with just one pitcher last year." 1/einaar and Price are two of the starters that return. The other two that are back are catcher Sally Bourdo and second base person Tracy Gaston. Price moves to short when she is not on the hill, and Leinaar handles an outfield spot. Three seniors that did not start last year, but bring experience with them are Lisa Campbell. Angie DeBruyn and Chris Aspinall. Juniors that should help out are DeEtte Baker. Julie Best. April Haven. Tammy lister. Linda Tuin and Karen Warner. As far as the starting lineup goes, the in­ field from third to first will probably be Best al first, Gaston al second. Price at short, and Baker at third. The outfield will probably include Camp­ bell. DeBruyn and Tuin. Bourdo will be the catcher and either Leinaar or Price will hurl. “I think we can have rome fun this year." Zelenock said. “The attitude has been real good and we have a lol of experienced junior varsity players (last year) that will help us out."

Middleville strong again on the softball field The Thornapple-Kellogg softball squad looks strong again following on the heels of la., year's 12-5 team Seven players are back from that team and Coach Bob Weller expects this year's team to challenge for the OK-Blue title. •We have some strong girls who can hit lhe ball." Weller said. "In the infield we will be very tough. If we have a weak spot it is in the outfield, but everyone is working hard." Three year starting pitcher Kim Oosterhouse is gone, but Weller said that Susan King is working hard to fill her shoes. Catcher Kim DeVrou. expected to be a key returner, has injured her leg and is out in­ definitely. Marcia Smith, a returning infielder, will now man the catching spot. Other returners that will fill positions include Jill Smith, first base; Brenda VanderMeulen. second base; Sally Fox. shortstop; Pennie Shoebridge, third base; and Deb Yacynych. outfield. Going aroung lhe diamond from third to first the lineup will probably be Shoebridge at third. Fox at short. VanderMeulen at second base and Jill Smith at first. Six people are in a battle for the outfield spots. They are Deb Weeks. Denise VanMalsen. Mary Funk. Christina Fox, Yacynych and Georgia Theil. Weller considers his team one of Lhe top three teams in the Blue, and figures Wyoming Lee will be the team to beat. Lee. a state finalist last season, returns a three year starting pitcher and should be lhe favorite, he said. Like the rest of the teams in the county, the Trojans have had a battle finding practice lime due to poor weather. "The weather has kept me from making any final lineup decisions." he said. "We will know a lot more after the first few games."

Hagland said. "But everyone has a positive attitude and they seem fired up to get this thing going.” Some of the people back that Hagland feels will be consistent point scorers are junior Gail Hanson and sophomore Reneene Copeland, both distance runners. Junior Melinda Strimbeck is expected to place as a hurdler and freshman Rhonda Martin should help her out. Senior sprinter Becky Allen is back, as is sophomore long jumper Marianna Spry. Others that Hagland sites for good things include sophomores Sarah Fawley and Lucy McCaul, freshmen Mandy Cunningham and Leona Husman, and senior discus thrower Stella Fullmer. “I'm sure I probably missed someone I wanted lomention, but I think because of our altitude, we may surprise some people." Hagland said. Twenty-four girls are out for the learn and Hagland said she is most worried about the field events. “Il looks like we have our »-ork cut out for us there." she admitted. "We lost our first meet (to Middleville Wednesday) but I was encouraged by what we accomplished." The next action for the lady Vikes will be lhe Middleville Co-ed Relays slated for Friday. Viking tracksters look for improvement The Lakewood Viking men's track team won t have any problem scoring at least some points this season, it is improvement they are after however Senior Tom Eckstrom who has scored 234 points in his career is back and than almost guarantees points, but Coach Marty Snoap hopes what he calls a good group of in­ dividuals. turns into a team ■•We have a Io. of good individuals for the team this year and I am hoping, that with a lot of individual effort, we can make our individuals a good learn." he said. "We have some legitimate goals to shoot for We have so see how hard everyone wants to work in practices, and see what kind of effort we re going to get " Eckstrom returns with team best marks in four events. His 14 fool pole vault. 6 foot 7 inch high jump. 20 foot 1 inch long jump and his 17 41 120 yard high hurdles time are the marks he will have to beat for individual improvement. He holds the schoool record for higi^ jump and pole vault, and was a slate qualifier last season. Sophomore Dave Strong, who set freshmen records in the 880 yard run and lhe mile, will shoot for varsity records this season. He and Eckstrom are two that Snoap expects to be stale qualifiers, but he is not counting anyone out "This should lie one of the best years since I 've started coaching track." Snoap said. We have a fine group of returning letter winners. 15 in all. and about five freshmen." In field events that Eckstrom doesn't dominate, lhe Vikings return some steady­ performers as well. Pat Jamiseon returns with a 36 fool 3 inch shot put mark, and Jim Friddle returns with a 98 fool 4 inch discus toss. In running events Strong returns with lhe best lime in the 880 and the mile from last season. Paul Reed comes back with a 56.0 440 yard dash, the best lime from last year's team. He was also part of a school record setting mile relay team Randy Eckman brings a 11.1 100 yard dash with him. while Jack Nyman comes back with a 26 9 in the 220. and Ron Simons returns with a 45.9 330 low hurdle mark “There was a group of fine rookies last year."

Two of the 16 are three time letterwinners and six others are two time letlerwinners. That experience along with the depth of­ fered by nearly 50 team members makes the Saxons a force to be reckoned with in the Twin Valley. Laura Allerding. the conference champ at high jump last season, is back to try and claim her fourth varsity letter. She is joined by hurdler Sue Picking in search of that goal The six two letter winners that bolster the Saxons with experience are Mary Bennett. Karen Hammond. Jackie Jaynes. Lisa Keeler. Melissa Pennock and Lori Teunessen. The single letter winners include Kerri Avery, Barbara Blackburn, Colleen Corrigan. Julie Frantz, Karen Hudson, Kelly Mogg. Tara Walldorff and Lisa Warner. A welcome addition to the team this year is New Zealand exchange student Shelley Bell. She had an outstanding season on the Saxon cross county team and is expected to find success in track. She has been a national age group winner in her native country in distance running events. The Saxons appear to have the most depth in the sprint and distance events. The word sprinter appears after the name of 15 team members on the roster, and the word distance appears 14 times behind names. Murphy figures Hillsdale to be a strong team in the Twin Valley again this season. Ait thinks her team can compete for the title. The first conference action of the season will pit the Saxons against Hillsdale and Sturgis. The Delton-Kellogg girl's track team has three seniors, one junior and a lot of potential, Coach Karen Leinaar says. Thirteen of the team's 16 members are part of the freshman and sophomore class, but Leinaar says they were winners in the middle school program and the ability is there. Five team members that earned letters last year have returned. Karen Doster, a senior that throws the discus and shot, and Kim Fults, a miler and two miler, are the most experienced members of the team, and two letterwinners. Three sophomores round out the rest of the returning letterwinners. They are shot putter and discus chucker Sue Hogg, high jumper and distance runner Barb Drenth, and long jumper and sprinter Chris Smith. Several freshmen are going to carry a large part of the load however. Some of them that Leinaar expects to score are Annette Ballatore, Anne Brunner, Brenda Carroll, Sharia Fults, Mandy O'Connell and Miki Purk. Erin Dudley, a junior that is out for the first time, wiU run in the 880 and mile, the coach says. Senior Abby Nordmark, a first time track participant will run the 220, and senior transfer student Dawn Wells may help out in the shot and discus events. “I think the key will be keeping them healthy," she said. "With only 16 people we can't afford to lose someone.” Leinaar figures the relays and the shotput and discus will be the team's strong events. "We have good overall team speed and Sue Hogg is state caliber in the shot and discus,” she added. "The potential is there and the dedication seems to be there.” Member* of the Delton-Kellogg girl’s trock team ore (front, from left) Down Well*. Koren Doster. Kim Fultz.

Lions look for help from newcomers Only six letlerwinners are back for Coach Wayne Cogswell and his Maple Valley Lion girl's track team, and he says success will depend on the newcomers helping ttul. He admits the six he has back will be top point getters, but with just 18 girls on the team, depth is a concern. •‘It is the first year fora lol of the girls so it is hard to tell yet.'' Cogswell said "1 think distances are probably our weakest area, but we do have some people that will place some ’ The six that form the nucleas of the team are seniors Melissa Coffman and Melanie Rogers, and juniors Tracy Symonds. Shirley Heimberger and Kathy Gaedert. Coffman will high jump, run the 220 and run low hurdles. Rogers w ill long jump and sprint and Gaedert will also run sprints. Symonds and Heimberger both return as experienced shot put and discus throwers. •Our sprints look pretty strong, but most of the other events are too hard to tell yet." • otisurll said. “The rotten weather hasn't really allowed us to do much " Rounding exit the squad as newcomers are exchange student Katariina Lahdesmaki. Becky Eaton. Pam Irw in. Denise Wells. Lori Fisher. Doreen Cook. Dawn Cogswell, Christine Antcliff. Denise Snowden. Paul Steinbrecher. Kelly Todd. Lynnette Williams. Karen Hummell and Beth Heald. The Lion gals are scheduled to run Friday at Pennfield. The first home meet and league action is slated for Tuesday, March 20. at Carson City Crystal. The defending OK-Blue conference champion Thornapple-Kellogg Trojan girl's track team has a new coach, but they expect the same results. “We're real young, but we’re shooting for success again this year,” rookie coach Tony McLain said. "Mostof our placers in our first meet <victory over Lakewood) were sophomores and freshmen. Our youngsters are quality athletes." Sophomores and juniors will carry a lot of the load. McLain said, but three upper class members will be depended on to continue fine careers. Senior Pam Beard returns as a top point getter. She will high jump, long jump and run sprints. Juniors Sue Kaechele and Jane Bryans are also back. Kaechele offers experience in distance events and Bryans is an ex­ perienced sprinter. A group of six returning sophomores that fared well as freshman members of the varsity are expected to lend a year's ex­ perience towards a winning effort. Gina VanderMeulen, a conference champ in the 100 yard dash as a freshman and a 100 point scorer last season, heads the group of soph mores. Sandy Irwin and Amy Steeby are two more and they should help out in the distance events. Laura VanPutten. a 90 point scorer last year, and Sarah Schultz should score points in sprinting events. Chris Wheeler, a sophomore that placed in the conference meet last year as a freshman, returns to do some hurdling. "The returning people will be the nucleus of the team, but we expect this group of freshmen to do just as well as last years," McLain said. "Gloria Morris built a strong girl's program at the junior high and had three conference champions in-a-row. Many of those athletes are on the varsity now, and I expect good results.” McLain said the teams weakest area right now is in the weight events. "I expect us to be competitive in all the events though." he said. ”1 don't want to guarantee another championship, but we will do a good job." The Trojans started off on the right foot dropping Lakewood 83-40 Wednesday. Their next action is Friday when Thor­ napple-Kellogg hosts the annual Co-ed Relays.

Denis Munson, chairman of the board of the Barry County Red Cross, was the special guest speaker of the Hastings Business and Professional Women’s Club at the April meeting, held Tuesday at the Moose Lodge. "Safety services" are the main thrust of the Red Cross, said Munson. The Red Cross is primarily active at times of disaster. Thus far. over $4,000 h<s been given to flood victims and victims of other Dennis Munson, chairman of the board of the Barry County Red Cross, was the featured speaker at the April meeting of the Hastings Business and Professional Women's Club. disasters. Mainly food, shelter, cleaning supplies and dentures have been donated. Munson demonstrated the "manual thrust" method of assisting choke victims. Another service given by the Red Cross is a babysitting class. Munson also elaborated on a new program for the local Red Cross Chapter. With their youth, (14 years of age and older), the Red Cross and the Explorer Scouts will work together to teach other youths various safety services. The program is sponsored by the Red Cross. Cold water drowning has been successfully treated in various parts of the country, he said. In Michigan, there are five counties in the state that are receiving instructions on handling and treatment of cold water drowning victims. Barry County is included in the training program because of its location among the lakes Emergency medicine is improving to help victims once they are at area hospitals. Munson continued. C.P.R. (cardio pulminary resuscitation) has been taught for some time in the com­ munitv by the Red Cross. Munson told club members that the Red Cross now has eight teenagers teaching CPR throughout the county. The teens, properly trained and certified by the Red Cross, come from all parts of Barr} County including Nashville. Delton and Lake Odessa. Munson was born in Missoula, Mont, and attended the University of Wyoming and the University of Notre Dame, studying management psychology. He served with the U.S. Marine Corps for 94 years as a pilot with the Joint Service Flight Unit at Andrews Ar Force Base in Washington, D.C. Denis and his wife Calinda moved to Michigan in 1962. In 1972, he joined the staff of Hastings Manufacturing Company where he is in the sales administrative ■ and marketing department handling customer relations.

Sucker fishing was also good on the Kalamazoo River Best success using Red worms or nightcrawlers fished on the bottom. Smelt: Interest is picking up on smelt runs as many calls are coming into the District Office daily. No reports as yet, but they should start into our Lake Michigan tributaries soon. Inland Lake Fishing: Not much action ye* as the weather has discouraged most fishermen. Ice should now be a thing of the past. Most activity is now concentrated on our major river systems. Other Outdoor Shorts: Dog training closes April 15th as the nesting season for game birds commences. Dog training will reopen July 15th. For the lucky turkey permit holders now is the lime to start scouting and practicing their turkey calls. All state parks are now taking two night reservations. They can also be made by phone with the exception of Holland, Warren Dunes, Ludington and South Higgins Lake. For these four parks reservations must be made by mail. General Ourdoor Conditions: You’ve got to believe warm weather is coming soon. Water levels remain high and roily. Hopefully, the coming weekend should improve fishing conditions, if Mother Nature will lend a helping hand. Lake Michigan - High winds and cold waler has hampered most activity in the big lake, but some steelhead are showing up as reported by some of the ports. New Buffalo: Some steelhead being taken but water temperatures too cold. Berrien Springs - Steelhead are there as 15 fishermen reportedly took 20 fish over the weekend. An occasionaly brown trout taken as well as many suckers. Si. Joseph - Benton Harbor: Steelhead are hitting off the piers mostly on spawn and nightcrawlers. Charter boats A’ere turning with 8 to 11 fish per boat with all of them fishing just off the Cook Nuclear Plant. Fish were hitting on Tad-Pollies and Hol-N-Tots. Saugutuck - Kalamazoo River - Brown trout fishing off the piers was excellent, weather permitting A few steelhead and an occasional coho, mostly taken on spawn, nightcrawlers and little cleo's. Boats trolling in 20 feet of waler down 5 feel were taken A variety of lures used with Words for the Y’s large to conceal, bearing the same phone number. Richardon's 'lecture' was a fitting respite to an evening of workshops on stress management, alternative employment for teachers, slate funding of schools and puopeteering for elementary school children. State Rep. Don Gilmer answered questions, and kept teachers up to date on budget cuts, and how they may or may not further affect education. Gilmer defended his vote in favor of raising the state income tax temporarily from4.6to5.6 percent, equal to a 15.2 percent increase. He said he did so “because education has suffered enough", and "to keep the pressure off property owners in the state.” Gilmer said the only way of dealing with the $600 million deficit which Michigan faces is through additional taxes, or more budget cuts. He said the $100 million revenue ex­ pected from the new ten-cents-a-pack cigarette tax would be applied directly to that deficit Where to find jobs as well as tips on resume writing were the topics of another workshop. Dubbed ‘Alternative Employment for Teachers', John Warren and Ray Zarazua of Meijers Inc. showed those present how to identify, match and increase skills for business careers. Sue Ross, in-service chairperson, was happy with this year’s program, though a touch disappointed by a smaller-thanexpected turnout (the program was scheduled for March 4 but postponed due to snow). “I think we were all stimulated and en­ couraged and entertained this evening," she said, adding that she hopes for a belter turnout next year.” br. Barry Richardson, who has gained national acclaim as a mentalist. capped off the teachers in-service Tuesday evening at Hastings High School. Dr. Richardson is a professor of economics and management al Hope College, but has intrigued audiences on national TJV and performed overseas with his feats of memory and magic, and his talks on the workings of the mind. "I'm not a psychic or a seer.” Richardson told his audience in the high school auditorium. “I’m here toenterlain you. What you are about to see is a demonstration on the principles of mnemonics." Mnemonics (the *m’ is silent), is a system of principles and formulas designed to assist or improve the memory. Richardson used audience participation and props to both amaze and demonstrate the depth of the human learning potential. In one trick, Richardson asked an in­ dividual in the auditorium to randomly choose and call out a number between 40 and 99. Then he drew a 16-square grid on a sheet of paper, and had the individual call out the number. With another person counting off the seconds on a watch, Richardson quickly filled in the squares of his grids with num­ bers. Twenty-six seconds later, he was done, and the numbers which lined up in the squares, when added, equaled the number iandomly chosen and called out. Horizon­ tally. vertically, diagonally...it didn’t seem to matter. Thirty-two ways to add up to the same number. In another trick, Richardson put members of his audience through an elaborate ritual in which a number was randomly chosen from the Detroit phone book. At the end, he predictably produced a sheet of paper too Area students receive scholarships Three area high school students have been selected to receive the recognition of ex­ cellence award at Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti.

Commissioner James Gordon, who called for the overturning motion several times, said the AR zoning specification is com­ patible to the rest of the land in the area. Most of the land surrounding Charlton Park is zoned AR. The balance of Charlton Park that is not zoned R-l, is zoned CR (conservation reserve). The Planning and Zoning Commission’s decision that was overturned included the suggestion that the 139 acres in question be zoned CR. Under CR, a campground would not be allowed on a special use permit. Commissioner Paul Kiel said during Tuesday s meeting that if the 139 acres were not zoned AR. the Park would remain idle, and never make money. The Parks and Recreation Commission had announced the campground idea as part of a plan to produce revenues for Charlton Park, and admitted Tuesday that the park needed the AR zoning to develop the several special uses available to them.

Voters from the Hastings school district will go to the pnus Monday, April 26, in a special election to decide the fate of-a proposed 5.3 mill increase in the operating millage for two years. . At stake is an estimated $784,000 from local local property taxes for the 1982 tax year. In addition, because the millage will go atove the 30-mill mark, local school officials expect the state aid formula to add another estimated $207,000 in slate aid funds to the local district. Tne proceeds of the millage will be used for a wide variety of needs for the schools, but the bulk of the additional revenue, about 55 percent, will be used to fund "contractual obligations" and pay raises for teachers in the middle of the pay scale. Richard J. Guenther, superintendent of schools for Hastings, says that in addition to teacher s pay, passage of the millage will enable schools to catch up in some areas of education that have been cut back due to budget constraints of the past two years. Hastings now has a total operating millage of 2651 mills, placing the city in 45th place among the 60 schools in Allegan, Barry, Kalamazoo, Kent. Ottawa and VanBuren counties. The addition of 5.3 mills would boost Hastings to 15th place among those school districts, providing none of those districts pass new millages and surpass Hastings. The largest item on the school’s list of needs is $445,000 to cover contractual obligations to school employeees. Supporters if the millage claim meeting those (bligations will allow Hastings to maintain a 25-to-l student-teacher ration in the ciassrooms, which has been the standard in Hastings. If the millage does not pass, the school has said it expects to enact a large layoff, allow class size to go to 30 for grades kindergarten through third and 32 for grades four and above. Another $90,000 will go to teachers who are in the middle of the pay scale and are entitled to a raise due to an additional year’s ex­ perience. The next largest item is an estimated $200,000 to cover the defecit which the Hastings schools expect to have at the end of the current school year on June 30. However, school officials say this figure is highly tentative at this point. Smaller amounts — up to $60,000 each — will go for a long list of items. They are new buses and building maintenance, $60,000; elementary vocal music. $46,000; new text­ books. $JO,000; addition of a second band teacher. $23,000; elementary physical education. $23,000; athletics, $40,000; in■ structional equipment, such as typewriters and movie projectors, $13,000 and in' structional materials, such as workbooks. $10,000. Richard Guenther Robert Miller Superintendent of Schools Acting Superintendent of Schools Banner asks these questions on millage issue Richard Guenther, superintendent of schools for Hastings, and Robert Miller, administrative assistant, recently addressed questions concerning the millage put to them by the Banner. Here are their answers. It has been indicated that an additional $784,400 will be netted in property taxes for die 1982 tax year if the millage is passed. The largest item on your list of needs is $445,000 to cover contractual obligations to the teachers. What exactly is meant by the phrase "contractual obligations”? Contractual obligations are what you’ve agreed to pay your employees, both salary and fringes. Vol. 127, No. 16 Thursday, April 22,1982 Hastings, Michigan Severe erosion problem exists in Mud Creek Watershed area Seeing is definitely believing! For those unaware of a severe erosion problem in northeast Barry County, a tour of farmland in the Mud Creek Watershed area is a real eye-opener. In fact, Barry County has been included in a target area which has been labeled as part of the most severely eroding areas in the United States. The erosion problem this year is “worse than five to ten years ago due to the major snow melt," said Joe Lukasiewicz of the Barry Soil and Water Conservation District in Hastings. Lukasiewicz is involved in helping area farmers with farm planning for soil and water conservation plus designing and in­ stalling soil and water conservation prac­ tices. He and Jim Fish, chairman of the conservation district board, last week toured some of the erosion damaged areas in the 33.6 square miles of the county’s portion of the Mud Creek Watershed in Woodland and Castleton townships. Barry and 11 other counties in southwest Michigan, eight counties in Indiana, and Mrs. Hoare seeks county board seat again Rae M. Hoare, a former Barry County Commissioner, has announced that she will be a candidate for the county board in the August primary. Mrs. Hoare said she will seek election to the District Seven seat which will include all of Barry and Prairieville townships and part of Orangerille Township when the new county apportionment plan takes effect January 1. 1983. She was previously elected to the county­ board three times to represent the current District Five (Prairieville Township and Precinct One of Barry Township), serving from 1975 through 1980. Mrs. Hoare was defeated in her last bid for the seat by­ current Republican Commissioner Otis Hermenitt in November of 1980. Mrs. Hoare. a Democrat who resides on Houvener Rd. in Prairieville Township, said she decided to seek election again because "now that the new apportionment plan has been approved, the county will have larger districts and fewer commissioners and it seems to me that it will be very critical that commissioners on the board must have the ability and knowledge to adapt to all the new rules and regulations and various federal guidelines that are going to be critical to our county if we are to survive.” (Next January, the county board will be reduced from 11 to seven members according to the new ap­ portionment plan). “While I've been off the board. I have not been out of tourch this past year and a half because I immediately became involved in many of the things I had an interest in when I was a commissioner," she said. "I have actively participated in township affairs and have attended all of the county board meetings since my official term en­ ded. By keeping on top of county business, I’ve kept abreast of the many problems and issues that will be confronting the new seven­ member board. “In recent months. I have been ap­ proached by a number of my former con­ stituents who have urged me to run again and I feel I have a lot to contribute to the county board, based on my five years ex­ perience as a commissioner. My ability to work with township, county, state and federal agencies plus the many boards I have dealt with has given me a great deal of in­ sight into tomorrow s needs, especially in view of the financial crisis which we can expect to be in for some time to come," said Mrs. Hoare. Since her county board term ended, Mrs. Hoare has received a state appointment to the Barry County Social Service Board and also serves on the Barry Commission on Aging board. She currently serves as vice chairman of the Community Action Agency­ board and also has been appointed to represent the Michigan County Social Ser­ vices Association on the Michigan Association of Counties’ human services advisory committee. She was a delegate to the recent White House Conference on Aging. three counties in Ohio are targeted as part of the most severely eroding areas in the United Stales. In regard to that target area, Lukasiewicz, a state conservationist from the SCS office in Lansing and representatives from the USDA will tour critical erosion areas in southwest • Michigan at the end of the month. After that tour, it will probably be determined whether or not federal funds will be obtained to help with erosion control. In another effort, prior to this year’s snow­ melt, the area in Castleton and Woodland Continued on page 10 Grand Rapids man found guilty of inciting to murder A Grand Rapids man was found guilty in Barry County Circuit Court Friday, for in­ citing to murder Hastings businessman Douglas O'Laughlin, and his Grand Rapids partner Thomas Charles Owens, 37, was arrested after a murder-for-hire scheme was un­ covered by State Police in Barry County in October. Following less than two hours of deliberation, a jury convicted Owens, for­ merly of 328 Griggs St. SE, Grand Rapids, of two counts of inciting to murder and two counts of conspiring to commit murder. O’Laughlin and Grand Rapids businessman Paul DeLassus were the in­ tended victims, court records reveal. Barry County Prosecuter Judy Hughes said she will ask for a life sentence on May 14, in front of Judge Richard E. Robinson. Owens was one of four men arrested in October when State Police uncovered three separate kill-for-hire schemes. Trial dates for three men, including one Barry County man, arrested in conjunction with two other similar schemes are pending motions. Thornapple-Kellogg High School on accreditation probation by Greg Johnson Thornapple-Kellogg High School will go on probation effective July 1, through the University of Michigan Accreditation ser­ vice, a report at the April 12, board of education meeting evealed. Assistant Superintendent Gerald Page said the probation involved just the high school and that there were several reasons for the probation. "We are below some minimum standards that they set," he said. "If you don’t have accreditation, it can hurt students that plan to go on to college." Page said he was sure steps would be taken by the board to correct the situation, and that passage of the upcoming millage increase would take care of some of the problems. Some of the reasons Page listed for the probation included the fact that the high school went from a minimum six hour day to a five hour day, the cutting of an assistant high school principal, the rutting of a high school counselor, and the cutting of a full time librarian.. Page said the University of Michigan Accreditation service sets a minimum of two high school counselors for schools with more than 400 students, and that because the school has more than 500 students, an assitant principal is also required. "The six hour day was the thing they came down hardest on," Page said. "Getting the millage would take care of that." “Money is the reason we had to make the cuts in the first place,” he said. The Relays! 34 track teams will come to town Saturday, for the annual Hastings Relays. Competition in relay events for both boys and girls will be offered. The action kicks off at 10 a.m. with the field events. Check next week’s Banner for complete results of the relays!!! Do these include salary increases? Right. That's the nine-and-a-half percent that’s been negotiated with two employee units at this time, for the next two years...the teachers and the secretaries. The other employee units have not negotiated con­ tracts yet. in the programs you have listed for reinstatement, you have shown $46,000 for elementary vocal music; $23,000 for a second band teacher and $23,000 for elementary physical education. Is this money entirely for salaries and benefits and al what level of experience will these teachers be hired? This money is entirely for salaries and benefits and we’re assuming that the level of experience would be on the low side, somewhere probably at the two or three-year level of experience. But that money is strictly for salaries and fringe benefits. How will the $40,000 for athletics be spent? Will fundraising efforts for athletic programs need to be continued? For athletics, the $40,000 would be the difference between the total athletic cost less gate receipts. And under those conditions if the millage passes there will be no need for fundraising. The athletic program would be continued as it currently is, which means that someo. the programs that were dropped several years ago would not be reinstated with the passage of the millage. If the millage does not pass, will school employees be asked to reopen their contracts to negotiate wage and benefit concessions as the autoworkers have done? I can’t speak to that at this point because the board of education has not addressed it. So I don’t know...it’s certainly a possibility, but I don’t know. If the stale cuts an additional $61,000 from state aid, what will be dropped from next year’s budget? What will be dropped from next year's budget is still to be determined. If the millage proposal does not pas-, will another proposal be placed on the ballot before the next school year? That is entirely up to the school board and they haven’t addressed that question yet. Has there been any feedback at all on the school board of what would happen should the millage not pass? There has been a lot of talk back and .orth. Certainly, one of the feeds has been the possibility of a proposal on the ballot before school opens next fall. What type of assurance do you have that the state will come to Hasting's aid with J2M.OOO through the stale aid formula? Only the faith that the state will come through. The present millage levy places Hastings 45th among the 60 schools in Allegan. Barry. Kalamazoo. Kent, Ottawa and VanBuren counties. With the addition of the proposed 5.3 mills. Hastings will jump to 15th place. How does Hastings compare in size to the schools in this area and where do the teachers' salaries rank among those 60 schools? I would say Hastings would be an average size school in the counties that you have listed. As to how teachers' salaries rank among those 60 schools. I do not have that information. However. I do know they rank 104th among the 529 school districts in the state of Michigan for the years 1980-81. 1 would assume that for 1981-82, that that ranking will grow higher because the Hasting's teachers are on a wage freeze, and for the most part all of the area schools, with rare exception, gave their staff raises for this current fiscal year. Not too.many years ago. students were required to purchase their own textbooks and supplies. Why w as this changed and could we return to this system? Students are not required to purchase their own textbooks and supplies because of a ruling of the State Supreme Court. This was done in 1968. We could not return to this system without an edict from the court. If the school system was operated in 198283 with the same salaries, benefits and programs as in 1981-82. would a millage increase still be needed, and how much? Yes. Estimates indicate that it would be around three and a half mills. Younger teachers have indicated to us privately that they would forego a wage increase in return for job security. Was this an issue in the last negotiations with the teachers* association? Do you feel this is an item that could be negotiated to the benefit of the students and the schools in the future? The younger teachers that have indicated this to you privately have to indicate this to their union, the Hastings Education Association (HEA). During the course of negotiations, this was an issue, and we did talk to (he fact that we would like job security for the people. However, the HEA negotiating team felt that the raise was the key issue, and it became a very strong issue in negotiations. And they spoke for the entire membership and they said that the raise was more important than job security. It would be ideal if this was an item for negotiation, but the school board has not made a decision yet if employee groups will be asked to reopen their contracts to negotiate. But if the board was to make that decision, that would definitely be an item that management would certainly discuss. We’re not hearing the voice of the younger teachers, we're hearing the negotiating team. One might speculate also with regards to this question that the younger teachers in­ dicating that they would forego a wage in­ crease are probably those scheduled for a layoff if the millage fails or if we’re un­ successful in developing enough funds to operate the school. Have any school employees already received pink slips for the next school year? We have not done any pink slipping yet. The potential'for a layoff is there. As to the timing of a layoff, it all depends on next Monday’s vote. And then what happens with regards to the timing of possible future millages and so forth would have to be determined before we scheduled anyone for pink slips. You have stated that i.* the millage does not pass, the school board expects to enact layoffs and allow- class size to go to 30 for grades kindergarten through third and 32 for grades four and above. What are the current class sizes? We're slightly above 25 to 1 in the upper elementary level, at the early elementary level we are slightly below it and we are slightly below it in the junior and senior highs. Supposing the millage passes, and the state does not follow through with it’s state aid formula to communities with property tax rates over 30 mills, will the resulting loss of revenue be made up in "contractual obligations", or will the schools forego such items as new buses, building maintenance, elementary music, etc.? We’ll have to forego anything that isn't under the tent of contractual obligations. The contractual obligations are about half of the issue. We hope you will find the articles in this issue helpful in making your decision as to how to vote in Monday’s millage election, as we trust that if you’re a resident of the Hastings school district, you will take the opportunity to go to the Poils Monday and VOTE! �The Hastings Banner - April 22,1982 - page 2 To the Editor— West Woodland News By Victor Sisson Thought for the week If you want to annoy your neighbors, tell the truth about them.

Before moving to Lake Odessa, Mr. and Mrs. Allerding lived in Hastings and he was a superintendent for the Barry County Road Commission for years. His wife, the former Flossie Norcutt, was a weL known school teacher and preceeded hirn in death on Jan. 8, 1981. He is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Harland (Betty) Blair of Darby Road, Lake Odessa, one brother, Glen of E. State Road, Hastings; one sister, Mrs. Tony (Ruby) Commander of Hollywood, Fla, five grandchildren and six great grandchildren. Funeral services were held Monday at 1:30 at the Pickens-Koops Funeral Chapel at Lake Odessa. Burial was in Clarksville Cemetery. Mrs. Betty Neil, Mrs. Bev Warner and son, Tim. Mrs. Carol Hawkins and Marie and Mrs. Jo Beth Bridleman, all of Hastings, and their horses all gatheredat the Roger Buxton home Sunday afternoon and Mrs. Buxton and Ann and their.horses joined them and all enjoyed riding on the country roads and through some of the nearby woods. It was a beautiful afternoon and the group enjoyed their ride very much. Mrs. Virginia Tousley drove to Montague last week Tuesday to spend a few days with her daughter, Mrs. Glenn Kroll. The Krolls have spend some time remodeling and restoring their 90 year old home since they purchased it several years ago. They have done most of the work themselves, putting in new walls, new floors, raised the roof and did much more. The plasterers finished their work a couple of weeks ago and Mrs. Tousley helped her daughter with the painting and paper hanging while Mr. Kroll was away. The ladies came back to Woodland Friday, Mrs. Kroll leaving her car the the home of her brother in Hudsomille. Sunday was Mrs. Tousley's birthday and 21 members of her family got together for a birthday dinner at Bill Knapps in Grand Rapids. Those present besides Mrs. Tousley were Brenda Kroll of Montague. Mrs. Marsha McClintock, Fred and Darrin of Charlotte, Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell Tousley, Kristy and Katie of Hudsonville, Mr. and Mrs. Byron Hesterly of Woodland, Mr. and Mrs. Ron Hesterly, Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Hesterly. Mr. and Mrs. Tory Kidder, Joey and Todd, ail of Hastings, and Mr. and Mrs. Dan Payne of Cloverdale. Mrs Kroll ac­ companied her brother and family to Hud­ sonville where she got her car and picked up her husband at the Grand Rapids Airport at 9:30 p.m. He was returning from two weeks of service with the U.S. Naval Reserves stationed at the Valley’s Naval Base in California, a community of about 72,000 people, located northeast of San Francisco. Jim Vreugde and Dana Roush of Hastings were last Wednesday and Thursday af­ ternoon callers and Jim and his father-inlaw, Eldon Roush, were Saturday afternoon callers at the home of Grandpa and Grand­ ma Sisson. They did some much needed repair work on our car. Thursday, Mr. and Mrs Eldon Roush spent the evening with the Sissons. Rev. Lila Manker of Hastings was a Sunday dinner and afternoon guest at the Sisson home. Wednesday evening, Mr. and Mrs. Sisson attended the special union services of the Grace Wesleyan, the Mid­ dleville Wesleyan and the North Irving Wesleyan churches at the latter place for a Missionary meeting where Rev. Kerry Kind, a missionary from Sierra Leone, South Africa was the speaker. Mr. and Mrs. Forrest Potter returned home, last Tuesday from, their winter’s stay at Bushnell, Fla. They report a very nice winter down there but found plenty of cleaning up waiting for them when they got home. Their son Alan and family of Parma were their Sunday guests. Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Prout of Rosebush were last Monday guests of his sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and mrs. Everett Johnston. Mr. and Mrs. Willis Dalton accompanied by her sister, Mrs. Claudine Matthews of Woodland and Mrs. Mildred Halladay of Portland arrived home Friday evening from an over Easter visit at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Halladay, Kristen. Karrie, and Kimberly at East Windsor, N.J. The folks had a very pleasant two day drive out there, having sunshine all the way. However, the weather man was not very cooperative with them and it was rainy most of the time they were gone. This put quite a damper on sight seeing trips. They did. however, spend one day in Philadelpia where they enjoyed visiting the Franklin Institute of Science. Sight seeing rips nearer home were also taken between showers. On their way home they had a day and a half of sunshine but as they neared Maumee, Ohio, on the freeway they ran into a severe rainstorm. One lane of the highway was blocked off for repair and the heavy traffic, especially of huge trucks and the fact that many cars had pulled off to the side of the road to wait out the storm hsX made driving hazardous and the Dalton group was glad to get back home. This is the first itme the Daltons have been away from home like this on Easter and they are not sure this is the most ideal time for such a trip. However they accompanied their daughter and family to church on Easter Sunday morning and enjoyed hearing their granddaughter, Kimberly, sing in the children’s choir, one of the highlights of the trip. Mr. and Mrs. Stuart Kussmaul called on her sister, Mrs. Letha Davis of Lansing Sunday afternoon and were evening guests of their son, R. Jay and family. Andrea, 5 year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Potter was taken to Pennock Hospital Friday evening suffering from an unidentified infection and is still there as of Monday evening. Tony and Katy have been spending much of their time with their grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Potter, while their parents are spending much time with Andrea. We have the report of a farmer plowing on his farm south of Woodland this afternoon, Monday, the first such report we’ve had of this kind this year. Mrs. Elwin Curtis and daughter, Mrs. Betty Scobey were in Battle Creek last Tuesday, u.id called on Mrs. Earl (Mildred) Weaks. Enroute home they visited Mrs. Betty Wilcox of Nashville. Sunday, Mr. and Mrs. Curtis and their grandson, Brent Scobey, visited Mr. and Mrs. Philo Baine on Head Lake Road. Saturday Mrs. Curtis and daughter, Mrs. Barry Donaldson attended the Friendship Festival of the Lakewood High School - and bought a duck and some cheese. Mr. and Mrs. James Hostetler and Darlene, with Mrs. Dawn Hostetler and her brother of Lake Odessa attended the Literary Awards Banquet at Lakewood High School last Tuesday evening. Darlene won a first place award for her orignal poem. Saturday, Mr. and Mrs. Hostetler and Darlene called on Mr. and Mrs Howard Hostetler of Cloverdale Rd. Saturday evening Mr. and Mrs. Hostetler called on Bill Cappon who was ill and entered a Grand Rapids Hospital on Monday. Mr. and Mrs. Toni Neithamer attended the meeting of the Woodland Photo Club in Grand Rapids Saturday evening. Saturday evening, visitors at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Frederickson were her brother, William Cook and wife of south Freeport and Mr. and Mrs. Darrel Endres and childrfen of Cogswell Road. Sunday afternoon callers were Mr. and Mrs. Don McBrian and children of Hastings. Mrs. McBrian is a sister of Mrs. Frederickson. The piles of dirt on the north side of M-43 west of Durkee Road are indications of a hole in the ground. That hole will become the basement of a new house that Byron and Betty Hesterly are planning to build in the very near future. Byron expects to do most of the work himself, but has some help promised. Best of luck to the Hesteriys! Mr. and Mrs. Hesterly attended the annual banquet of the Saturday night bowling club held at Cunningham Acres last Saturday evening. Bom to Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Eddy (Debbie Stadel) at Lansing General Hospital, a baby boy at 1:04 p.m. on Saturday, April 17. The young man weighed in at 8 pounds 4 ounce and has been named Eric Bruce. Congratulations. This is great* grandchild number three for Mrs. Eleann Myers this year. Mrs. Myers and Mr. and Mrs. Bob Stadel visited the new baby and his parents at the hospital Sunday afternoon and also called on Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Stadel and baby in Lansing. Millage failure could bring teacher layoffs School officials cannot say with certainty what measures the school board will decide to take if the millage is not passed. However, it is certain that “substantial teacher layoffs will be necessary" if voters reject Monday’s proposal, according to Richard J. Guenther, superintendent of schools. According to Guenther, the school board decided to hold off on the question until more is known about the state aid formula for next year, which has a “powerful effect on the 'ocal district’s finances.” Guenther points out that the cost savings of teacher layoffs could be minimal, though, because the schools could pay out as much as $200,000 in unemployment benefits to laid off employees. “That’s $200,000 that cannot be used for educational purposes,” says Guenther. Peter DeDecker, incoming Hastings Education Association president, says that not passing the millage “will cause serious problems with regards to our children.’’ DeDecker, who will assume his new duties July 1. says the higher student-teacher ratio resulting from teacher layoffs will detract both teachers and students."

To be of value to all citizens of our county such an examination must be ob­ jective and free from bias and emotion. Certainly the feelings of residents adjacent to Charlton Park must be considered as a part of any overall inquiry. Consideration must also be given to the fact that this park belongs to ail Barry County residents (some 50,000) and that all of these residents have supported the park in past years with their tax dollars. Our tax dollars will continue to be allocated to support the park unless some means can be found to make it self-sufficient. With the ever increasing costs of all levels of government the County Commissioners and members of the Parks and Recreation Commission are to be applauded for their efforts and planning to make this publicly owned endeaver self-supporting. The eventual proposal for a local public campground would appear to have more merit today than in years past. Many of our citizens who camped in Northern Michigan in the past can no longer afford to do so because of the energy crunch and the precarious state of Michigan’s economy. Such a development would provide a con­ venient and economical means for those desiring this type of vacation. Those coming to the park would also spend their money in the county, thus helping our economy. It would also appear consistent with the many studies and recommendations concerning the utilization of Barry County with its lakes, streams and wooded areas as a vacation and recreation center. Charlton Park now contains well over 300 acres. If a campground is eventually ap­ proved and developed about seven ceres would be required for the proposed 110 camping sites. Construction requirements of any such project are strictly prescribed and controlled by state agencies and by Health Department standards. Would location of the campground a further distance from Sundago Park be a compromise and thus eliminate objections of those residents? I would like to see the development of Charlton Park continued as a means of helping us appreciate our heritage. It would appear reasonable to withhold final judgement until all information is assembled and a plan presented for olt consideration. Certainly the present R-2 zoning (residen­ tial) is questionable. Sincerely, Emmet E. Herrington If you feel the Lord is asking you to do any of the above, please call Mary at 915-9800 or 758-3199 or come to the next Barry County Birthline meeting al Tillie Dolson s, 516 W. Woodlawn. Apt. I) on Tuesday night. April 27, at 7:30 p.m. • Thank you Mary C Sonsmith Recently it was brought to the attention of Barry County Birthline by the Michigan Public Health Department that in the year 1981, the number of abortions to girls and women in our county was 117. The majority of these were performed on the 15 to 24 age group This is sad for these babies and also, sad for the mothers who felt that abortion was their only alternative. This is not so. Having the baby through the help of volunteer ser­ vices and community resources is another alternative and then to keep it (with help from other community services) or adopt it out to the many childless couples who’d love to give it much TLC; these again are alternatives. All of the options are part of the many­ faceted volunteer work that Barry County Birthline (formerly Birthright) does. If a girl or woman thinks she is pregnant Birthline will first advise and then perform a pregnancy test. A $3.00 offering (if possible) is requested. Birthline gives understanding and coun­ selling in various areas. For example a fifteen year old pregnant girl who carries her baby to term has the option of continuing school here at night in adult cd if she doesn't want to continue day classes, or can go to school in Grand Rapids or in Kalamazoo. In her last three months she can be boarded and educated at Borgess Hospital in Kalamazoo where fine doctors and counsellors will help her. Another example a married woman with a surprise pregnancy, little money and other mouths to feed. Birthline volunteers will help her to find community resources to supply the medical care, (pre and post natal), proper nutrition, maternity clothing, etc. Birthline itself has supplied many maternity wardrobes and baby layettes to mothers since its founding in 1973. Birthline is an affiliate of Pregnancy Services of Michigan in Lansir.g. We are in need of a new office. If you have that office for us or know where one can be rented rather inexpensively please contact Marcia at 945-9800 or Mary at 948-8632. Also we definitely need more help in the way of volunteers, baby clothes, baby fur­ niture. nurses for pregnancy testing and prolife counselling, and help to make us better known in the community and schools (a PR person). To the Editor— I wish to express a concern 1 have relative to the forthcoming millage vote. I wonder if the additional millage has been considered enough from the perspective of what it could mean to the total community scene. The entire issue is not only the educational system, the students, teachers and various other school employees. Perhaps the per­ sonality. character and quality of Hastings as a progressive, “with it", functioning community is al stake. I believe that our excellent school program is central to the survival of Hastings’ reputation as an unusually good small town in which Io live. My whole point deals with the CHOICE most of us have, or have had, in selecting Hastings as “our kind of place". I am concerned with our ability, as a com­ munity. to attract the kind and caliber of people we desire Io work and live here without the strong "calling card" of not only an adequate school system, but an excellent one. How could we expect to attract, let alone keep, some of the outstanding and creative individuals who serve the commercial, the manufacturing, the professional needs of Hastings without being able to offer their children an education that is at least equal to that which they could have received or might receive in other potential localities? Have we seriously thought through how’ much we might miss some of the advantages that have to do with being able to deal with the com­ petent and pleasant working population of this community (be they merchants, den­ tists. mechanics, ministers ..teachers!), the kind of individuals who also value educational opportunity for their own family members above any other factor when considering where they should live? To me the repercussions of next week's election could include this kind of loss to Hastings. 1 sincerely believe the benefits from a "yes" vote on the millage issue will not be limited to the youth but will be experienced by the entire community. Yours very lruly( Mary I. Brown Class to show parents as teachers Most of us can remember one or more teachers who influenced our life. But do you realize that the primary teacher of a child is his or her parents? We often know how we want our children to mature but how to reach that point isn't always clear.

SPECIAL OPERATING MILLAGE JShall the limitation on the total amount of taxes which may be assessed against ail property in the Hastings Area School District, Counties of Berry and Calhoun, Michigan be increased by up to a total of 5.3 mills on each dollar ($5.30 for each $1,000.00) of the assessed valuation, as equalized, of al! property in the school district for a period of two years. 1982 and 1983 for the purpose of providing additional funds for operating purposes, and shall the board of education also be authorized to levy in 1982 all of its permanently allocated and extra voted mills to provide necessary funds for school operating purposes? PUBLIC OPINION: THIS WEEK’S QUESTION: Voters in the Hastings Area School District will go to the polls Monday, April 26, to decide on a 5.3 mill increase in property taxes. Many people feel the issue in the election is whether we want higher property taxes or are willing to live with fewer teachers, larger class sizes and fewer programs. How do you feel? Amount of state aid formula in doubt Hastings school officials maintain that if Monday’s millage increase is approved, the schools can expect $207,200 in state aid funds to the local district. According to Richard J. Guenther, superintendent of schools, that figure is based on the present state aid formula plus the new state equalized valuation for the Hastings school district. The state aid formula works like this: the slate of Michigan “guarantees" $50.55 per mill to communities with millages above the 30-mill mark, plus $360 per pupil. However, Guenther cautions that if a further $61,000 is cut under a threatened state executive order this summer, even the 5.3 mills asked for may not be enough. The decision to ask for 5.3 mills was made, says Guenther, before news of the threatened cut came out, so school officials will have to “make do" with the millage. Don Gilmer, state representative for the 55th district, cautions there is “no such thing as a firm guarantee for any funding.” Gilmer thinks that the very lowest formula that the state would offer school districts is “very close to what it is now,” and “theoretically, it could go much lower, but politically, it won’t.” Write us a letter!

George Ooks Sherry Wetzel Bob Cross, Hastings Township, praises the school system but says “When they raise my taxes every year, I realize that’s as good as I’ve been coing." He said he can live with fewer teachers because class populations are going down anyway. Cross, who has two children in school, says he realizes education is expensive, but would like tosee the current pay freeze continue. “It’s what everybody else is doing,” he says. "I don’t feel that the teachers should be held down from higher wages, but at the same time I don’t really feel that the taxes should be raised any higher than they are now either," says Janet Johnson of Hastings. Johnson says her son goes to parochial school, and rather than raise tuition, his school relies on fundraising events. Sally Creek of Hastings says we are already living with fewer teachers and larger classrooms. “A lol of us would like to see raises.” she says, adding “A lot of us would like to see jobs. I'm not sure how I want to vole yet." Janet Johnson George Oaks, a Bliss retiree, is bothered that some teachers make $30,000 a year. "I’m on retirement right now. If those guys still working have to get by on $18,000 a year, I don't see where those fellows whe make $30,000 a year feel that they have to make more. I feel that they're overpaid as it is. They get paid year around, and they gel three months vacation in the summer...no, I don't think they need a raise. "Everybody else is tightening their belt. I didn't get anything in the last contract at Bliss when I worked there." "From what I've been hearing, I think the teachers are just trying to get more money just to operate, not reduce the teacher ratio," says Sherry Wetzel from Hastings To those who say that the teacher-student ratio will rise if the millage does not pass. Wetzel says “they're just using that as a scare lactic. They should just take advantage of what they have ..the past few years the school have had extra money and it's been Dixie Britten ‘spend, spend, spend', and now the taxpayers are going to say ‘You're going to have to cut back just like we are.'” “It seems to me that we're going to have to cut down on more programs." says John Casarez of Hastings. "When I was growing up, we went to a lot of sports events, but everything is so expensive now it makes me wonder if it's worth it to drive a team from Hastings to Ionia and so on. Everybody's in the same boat, and we all have to cut back somewhere." Herb Moyer, a retired teacher, is for the millage. “It's a question of values, I think. Where do we want to spend our money? On the kids, or on something else? We have to go for the kids first...If you're going to have quality education, you're going to have to pay for it." Dixie Britten, of Hastings, supports the millage. "I'll vote yes,” she says, "because by the looks of things we would like to get a little more money, and teachers probably need it just as much as we do." �The Hastings Banner, Thursday, April 22,1982 - Page 3 Hastings Manufacturing Canadian plant selects new officers At the annual meeting of Hastings Inc? held April 14 in Windsor, Ontario, Andrew F.

Colfax St., Hastings to form a committee to preserve the Stryker House. Smith received about 50 telephone calls in support of forming the group after an article ran in the Hastings Reminder. April 13. That article told of WOTV personality Buck Matthews presenting the first dollar toward preservation to Smith at the Hastings Women’s Club. "Everyone who has heard the story of Buck giving the first dollar has really been enthused." she said. • Judge Richard Loughrin. president of the Barry County Historical Society, said the society has completed a Stryker House study. “There is a great deal of public interest in the Stryker House and in preservation." Loughrin said. He said that the society has a Stryker House Preservation Committee for the purpose of making the public aware of the home and study, but not for fundraising. Coincidentally, he continued, the Kalamazoo Gazette contacted him this weekend about the status of the house and plans to do a future feature article.

Volunteers from Barry’s cancer unit recently conducted a program and presented a film entitled "How to Examine Your Breasts" to employees at Provincial House and employees at the Medical Care Facility. The program is offered free of charge and lasts 45 minutes on the average. It can be shortened to 30 minutes. Julie Dingerson. the local chapter's public education chairman, said volunteers are “teaching both men and women how to examine lhe’r breasts, because men can get cancer there too." She said it is important that the public learn how to do the examination because 95 percent of all lumps in the breast are found by the patients themselves and not in a doctor's office. With an early diagnosis, the five year survival rate is 85 percent, she said. Even if the lump is malignant, there is still a good survival rate if the cancer is found in its early stages, she added. In addition to the film, the local cancer society has an artificial breast it uses to demonstrate how to find lumps in the breast and lets members of the audience have a Kenneth Howe.

Mayor Kenneth Howe of Hastings told a Tuesday luncheon gathering that com­ munications should be open and maintained between the city and the downtown mer­ chants. Speaking at the Elks Club, Howe said that collectively, local employe-s "carry a lot of weight." He said that if a factory were to pull out. "or attempt to pull out, or relocate in Hastings, there isn't anything, I'm sure, within reason that the city of Hastings would not try to do for them should they become in trouble or should they want- t6 locate in Hastings. "And I think that this is the same attitude that we in the city have got to adopt for our downtown people," said Howe. He told the crowd of merchants and concerned, businessmen "You employ a lot of people, you’re a large concern, and we can help you and much as we can help industry in town, in either trying to stay or trying to locate in town.” The mayor also expressed concern over the dropping of the silent observer program, Book owners pack library week programs Julie Sheldon, a Hastings resident who deals in rare books, found herself nearly without a voice, Wednesday evening, after examining books brought to the Hastings Public Library by about 100 people. The program was payt of the library's celebration of National Library Week. April 18-24. "We were really pleased with the number of people who came," Librarian Eileen Oehler said. ‘ Julie wore out her voice talking to them.” Sheldon operates J.E. Sheldon Fine Books out of her home, a business which is primarily mail order. She specializes in Michigan history and civil war books.

He stressed the need for more informants to help curb crimes such as petty larceny and shoplifting, which the mayor said "affects all of us”. Mayor Howe also touched on the downtown parking problem, and said he had "strong feelings" whether the city should be in the parking business. Howe said that the city faces a shortage of parking funds because many of the city lots are no longer being used, and because "parking enforcement is not quite up to par.” • Saying that "Hastings has always survived and always will survive," the maydr said the city needs a group to "sell Hastings to new industry.” He said the Downtown Development Authority "could be the vehicle we’re looking for to revitalize the down­ town.” Howe said what is needed are ideas for revitalizetidn, and added "the only thing I can change is attitude.” Money management experts will share expertise with community Janet Hartough of the Michigan State Cooperative Extension Service and local Attorney Larry Ainslie will be two of the seven participants in a full day’s discussion Saturday of various aspects of money management for the family.

Johnston Hastings schools have run into three major problems in the past four years which resulted in the need for more millage. Hastings School Board President William Baxter told the Hastings Kiwanis Club, yesterday. Hastings Area School District voters will decide on a the 5.3 mill increase, Monday. "Prior to the spring of 1978, the school system was doing fine," he said. At that time, however, Baxter explained, the district began having problems with inflation, the condition of the economy in Michigan and a slowly decreasing enrollment. While property assessments have climbed in three years from $100 million to $130 million, Baxter continued, the district’s revenues have remained static. Revenues were $6.9 million in 1979-80, $6.7 million in 1980-81 and $6.8 million in 1981-82, the president said. Baxter said that the biggest problem in holding the level of revenues down was that in 1979-80 the state contributed 61 percent of the district budget, but will only contributes 49 percent this year. 80 to 85 percent of the district budget is for salaries, he continued. As part of the austerity program in the past three years, 54 administrative positions, 294 teaching positions and 114 other positions have been eliminated, he pointed out. “We've had a wage freeze for all personnel this school year," JSaxter continued, “and a significant number of employees are in their second year of a wage freeze." While the teachers have had a one year wage freeze, he said, the board has contract obligations to fill this year. Money from the millage increase will be used to cover the present operating deficit. meet employee contract obligations and to reinstitute programs, Baxter explained. "If we don't get the millage, we will be faced with more cuts...mostly layoffs," he predicted. Because the 5.3 mill increase will be offset by a .9 mill reduction in the debt levy, the net effect will be a 4.4 mill increase, he said. This would cost an owner of a $40,000 nome with a $20,000 assessment and increase of $88 per year, Baxter said. In answer to a question, Baxter said that the district was not assured that state sup­ port would remain the same as it is presently (see article elsewhere in this issue ’dealing with the question of state aid). Robert Miller, administrative assistant for the schools who attended the meeting with Baxter, read a list of local reductions compared to state averages. Miller said that the Hastings teaching staff has fallen 16 percent (294 positions eliminated, dropping the staff to 1414) while the state average drop was only 12 percent. The administrative staff has been reduced by 35 percent and the maintenance-custodial staff has been cut by 23 percent, against a state average of nine percent, he said. In the transportation, the bus drivers have been reduced from 47 to 33 and the clerical s*aff has been cut from 15 to 14, Miller said. While these cuts were oceuring. he con­ tinued, enrollment has only dropped at the state average of 11 percent. Baxter said that the teachers’ contract, calling for a wage freeze the first year and two years of 9.5 percent salary increases, averages to a six percent increase. The average teachers’ settlement in the state is 8.9 percent, he said. “Up until last year, we were high (in teacher’s salaries)," Baxter said. “After the freeze, we’ll be.high average." Pennock Hospital salutes auxiliary volunteers Dr. Willicm Baxter defended the proposed millage increase to a meeting of ths Hastings Kiwanis Club Wednesday. Thousands of hospital patients have benefited from the comfort, assistance, and caring given by volunteers who are members of the auxiliary, said Richard Fluke, Executive Director of Pennock Hospital in Hastings. Fluke, speaking at the annual Auxiliary Luncheon Wednesday, thanked all the various guild members who generously give of their time, talents, and efforts to not only raise money for needed equipment but to help in countless ways. In 1981, volunteers contributed a total of 24,237 hours to the hospital. There are 29 guilds and 433 auxilians in the hospital’s volunteer network. During the past year, the guilds purchased $15,431 worth of equipment for the hospital. Hospital equipment purchased by the auxiliary totaled $3,664.59 and included a nursing services pager, medicine cart, Nashville woman sentenced in Feb. VI kidnapping, breaking and entering Micbelk L.

Hastings gals run past Caledonia Sacrifice! Stu Spyker of the Hastings Saxons flashes into the picture and tries to avoid a sweeping tag. The action was on a sac­ rifice play in the first Inning. The Saxons later scored a pair of runs in the inning and went on to a 7-3 victory. HHS Varsity Baseball Saxon baseball squaddrops Wayland for first win The Hastings Saxons pushed across five runs in their last two turns a* bat and came away with their first win of the season, a 7-3 verdict over non-conference foe Wayland. Wednesday. Shortstop John Karpinski led the hitting attack and three Saxon pitchers combined to hold of a young Wayland squad. The Saxons opened the scoring in the first inning. Lead-off man Bruce Meyers drew a walk on four pitches, moved to second on a sacrifice, and scampered into third when Karpinski looped a lazy single that he stretched into a double, in right center. Two wild pilches later and both Meyers and Karpinksi had crossed home plate to give the Saxons a 2-0 lead. Wayland came roaring back in similar fashion in the lop of the second however, and scored a pair of runs when starter Gary Rosenberger uncorked a pair of wild pitches with Wildcats on third. The score stayed at 22 until the fifth inning. In the lop of the fifth lefty Steve Conner came on for Rosenberger and set the Wildcats down. In the bottom of the fifth the Saxons started their push to victory. Junior Craig Mawer drove in Karpinski with a ground out, and Dann Howitt came in when his brother Drew Howitt shot a single to right. That pul the Saxons up 4-2. Dann Howitt moved in from center in the top of the sixth to take over for Conner, who got the win, and notched a save. The Saxons closed out the scoring their last time up. Conner scored after the Saxons moved him around when Karpinski hit a ground ball that Wayland booled. Then Meyers and Karpinski both came in when Dann Howitt doubled. The Saxons are now 1-2 overall, 0-1 in the Twin Valley. They take on league foe Albion in a doubleheader Friday at Johnson Field. Game time is set for 3 p.m. In other games this week: The Saxons ran into a three hit pitching performance by Marshall's N. Magenshutz and dropped their league opener 3-1 on Tuesday. Marshall scored all the runs they needed off Saxon righthander Mark Larsen in the fourth inning. A single, two walks and a double did the damage. They added an in­ surance run in the sixth with a walk, a single, and a pair of Saxon errors. Larsen only allowed four hits in going the distance for the loss. He struck out seven and walked four. The Saxons managed only three hits. Dann Howitt, Gary Rosenberger and Bruce Meyers each managed a single for the Saxon attack.

The male Woodcock is a unique marvel of nature especially when he is trying to at­ tract a mate with his song. First of all he chooses a plot of open g:ound to display in hopes of attracting a female. He starts his ritual by repeating a nasal soun­ ding "peenl" sound several times, the Department of Natural Resources reports. He then flies in the air in circles higher and higher each lime over his plot of open ground. When he reaches the 2<J0 to 300 foot level, he sings in a high pitched twittering song for a few seconds, and then plunges back toward the ground "catching'' himself at '.he last possible moment before landing on the precise spot that he started his "peenling".

P ANFISH: Some crappie success reported over the weekend above Douglas on the Kalamazoo River. Pinkies and live minnows good baits �The Hastings Banner, Thursday, April 22,1982 • Page 10 Erosion problems continued townships had been the subject of a study made possible by the' U.S Environmental Protection Agency through a water quality­ planning grant The study, conducted by Carl Stamm, project coodinator, of the USDA-Soil Con­ servation Service, shows that a large portion of the erosion and sediment damage in the northeast section of the county can be at­ tributed to current farming practices on the sloping fields. Lukasiewicz said he is concerned about the area because it contains some of the best farmland in the county and state. "It’s got pretty good external drainage and moisture holding capacity." Once top soil is lost, Lukasiewicz says a farmers yield also goes down. "For every inch of soil lost, a farmer's yield is reduced by 30 percent." Annual soil loss ranges from five to 20 tons of soil per acre on the sloping soils in the study area, Stamm reported. Lukasiewicz notes that for each ton ol soil lost per acre, topsoil is reduced by one-thirty seventh of an inch. "You have to lose 37 tons ofsoil before you lose one inch of topsoil,” he said. Consequently, some farmers may not realize how much erosion is effecting their land. "Most soils can sustain a loss of four to five tons per acre without reducing the inherent ability to produce crops," he said. Five tons ofsoil lost to erosion per acre is equivalent to one-sixth of an inch of topsoil per acre. The use of no-till, minimum tillage, chisel From front page — tillage or other forms of conservation tillage are cost effective to minimize soil loss However. Lukasiewicz points out that sometimes even when conservation prac­ tices are implemented there can still be prolems. Erosion on a majority of Mud Creek farms could be controled by utilizing a soil con­ serving cropping system and conservation tillage. "One of the most common things farmers do is fill gulleys with stones and stumps None of those will work because the washing will still go on. the stones and stumps onlyhide it," said Lukasiewicz. The combination of soil types, sloping topography, intensive cropping patterns, and extent of agricultural land use in the Mud Creek Watershed does effect the water quality of storm runoff reaching Thornapple Lake and the Thornapple River, Stamm noted in his report. The headquarters of Mud Creek begin in Ionia County and flow in a south-westerly direction through Eaton and Barry counties to Thornapple i^ake. Mud Creek has a drainage area of about 56 square miles. Stamm has determined that the major problems in the northeast section of the county are intensive cropping of sloping land, fall plowing of crop fields, considerable sheet and rill erosion and occasional gullies in natural and man-made drainageway's. The major! .y of farmers in the area have recognized the value of winter soil cover and do their land preparation in the spring, he said. In addition, there are problems of streambank erosion, inadequate soil drainage, some roadside erosion, and cropland better suited to hayland or woodland use. "Sediment is accumulating in drainage channels and ditches reducing flow capacity. Fish and wildlife habitat are being destroyed.” said Stamm. The most important of the "best management practices" needed in the Mud Creek Watershed arc '•onservation tillage, he said Other beneficial practices would be conservation cropping system, grass waterways, tile drainage, crop residue management, grade stabilization structures, animal waste management systems, critical area treatment, steambank stabilization, cover crops, pasture and hayland planting, pasture and hayland management, proper application of hcricides and pesticides, and floodwater retention basins. Grade control structures are a needed practice where natural drainage ways and grass waterways join deeper drainage channels. Structures to drop surface water runoff into ditches are also needed. Animal waste management systems are needed by the livestock producers because most spread manure throughout the year. He said, most of them do not have adequate storage facilities for the winter months and nutrients from livestock operations could be better managed and utilized by developing improved waste handling systems. Stamm also notes that current farm economics have encouraged farmers to intensively cash crop land to generate a higher cash flow. A lack of markets for hay also discourages the use of legumes in crop rotations. Substantial need is present for the use of grass waterways to control formation of gullies. Most applications require a tile line to regulate soil moisture in the drainage ways. This practice has bee used suc­ cessfully by several farmers and con­ siderable need exists for broader use on cash crop farms, he said. Tile drains (subsurface drainage) was the practice most farmers thought they needed when Stamm contacted them. Old tile systems have been installed for 50-80 years and are now overloaded and in poor con­ dition. A rather extensive netwook of county open and closed drains exists. Although farmers in the Mud Creek Watershed indicated a need and interest in improving drainage on most farms, there is a history of neighborhood conflicts over drainage, Stamm reported. The conflicts have severely constrained the installation of tile. There also are a sizable number of farmers who are not convinced they have an erosion problem. "Most are aware ofsoil limitations, but need technical assistance to select best alternatives for conservation treatment suited to their operation. Additional in- Flowing like a river, the watershed goes back approximately 1 '/> miles on this property off Coats Grove Rd. The drainage cuts into the • ield. fragmenting it and making farming difficult here.

He said a published soil survey is needed to enable better on-farm evaluation of soils, slopes and management problems. Increased funding through the Agriculture Conservation Program, Stamm noted, would accelerate installation of conservation practices. "Financing and increased funding is needed to encourage implementation of costly practices such as animal waste storage systems and tile drains. A long term project to plan and implement needed practices would be most effective. A two to five year time frame would enable the education planning and application processes to be fully developed. Small group projects of two to five farmers should be explored," Stamm said. A watershed protection plan would require strong local sponsorship and the develop­ ment of a watershed plan, he said. This program could result in SCS technical and financial assistance. The approach would focus on upland treatment of best management practices.

Dillon No. 3447 of the Michigan Knights of Columbus collected $2,076.46 in the recent three-day drive to assist the mentally re'arded. Gary Gahan. Grand Knight of the council announced. The local contributions are part of a statewide effort which this year may reach $1 million. This total would bring more than $4,250,000 collected by the Knights of Columbus in the seven-year history of the drive. Eighty percent of the net income from the donations is retained by the local council for distribution to area groups and agencies. The rest is forwarded to the State Council of the Knights of Columbus to meet expenses of the programs and to make donations on behalf of all Die 68,000 Knights in Michigan. Under the program, which is carried out in most of the 245 K of C councils in Michigan, people are asked to donate money to the mentally retarded and are given a Tootsie Roll candy in appreciation of the gift. Locally, a number of "yet to be determined" benefiting agencies will receive con­ tributions from the drive conducted April 2, 3, and 4. Grand Knight Gahan thanked all those who contributed time and money to the succes of this year's M-R campaign. "I know that the benefacting agencies will be grateful for the generosity of so many people", the Grand Knight said. “Through the gifts of the contributors, many mentally retarded persons will have services and equipment not otherwise available to make their lives more rewarding". "Our local Council's goal of $2,000 was surpassed in spite of the worst weather in the history of this program, due to the deter­ mination of many K of C members and the recognition of the spirit of this program by our community", he added. "Our sincere thanks to all who cared enough to stop and give". WED.

Johnston Up to 40 positions in the Hastings school system could be cut because of Monday's millage defeat, Richard Guenther, superintendent of schools, said. Hastings voters defeated a 5.3 mill tax increase, 2,702-1,073. The voter turnout was the largest ever for a school election. (See related story for an analysis of the millage election.) Guenther said that up to 25 classroom teachers could be cut because of the loss, which would push pupil-teacher ratios to 30:1 in kindergarten through third grade and 32:1 in other grades. The current ratio is 25:1. "Then, we re looking seriously at auxiliary services," Guenther continued. "In that area, we're talking about counselling, the school nurse, the librarian and special education instructors." He said as many as eight or nine of these people could be laid off. In the custodial-maintenance staff and secretaries, an additional six to seven positions cuuld be eliminated, he said. •We're talking about a potential layoff of around 40 people," Guenther said. “The payroll reduction potential, with salaries and fringe benefits is approximately $900,000." The superintendent said that he has asked the staff, employee units and department heads to make suggestions for other reductions. Final recommendations will be presented at an administrators' meeting on Tuesday. He pointed out that some of the positions will be eliminated through attrition (retirements and employees leaving the system), which could lessen the number of employees on layoff. * All I'm doing is developing a list of recommendations.” he continued. "The use of facilities and programs are all in the hands of the school board." Guenther added that, in his view, none of the recommendations are educationally sound. "I don’t believe in high pupil-teacher ratios,” he said. "I beiieve in what we had. I believe that kids need some counselling services. Kids should have a library; (they should) have the value of a well-trained school nurse. (To support this) you need auxiliary services from custodial, main­ tenance and secretarial staff. We've done all the boning we could. From here on, it's going to hurt.” The superintendent said that among the options being studied are closing all or part of some buildings. He said maintenance people are now gathering cost figures for closing parts of buildings or complete buildings. The district now is using 64 elementary classrooms, with 11 not in use. Next year, Guenther said, they will need only 54. About four classrooms will not be used in the junior high next year. The high school presently has five unused cLssrooms. Part of the reductions in classrooms and staff wili'be necessary because the con­ tinuing drop in enrollment. This year's student enrollment is 3,630 which is ex­ pected to drop to 3,530 next year. "In five years, we lost 11 percent of our kids," Guenther noted. He said that during the 1960's, when several expansion programs were underway, they thought the enrollment would continued to grow, but it did just the opposite. $50,000 of the revenue from the proposed millage increase had been designated for new buses and building maintenance. Guenther said he would recommend that no new buses be purchased. "We'll repair what we've got and that's it," he said. “We’re blessed with the two best mechanics in this area. I base this on the kind of ratings we get from the State Police when they make their inspections The buses always pass 100 percent. But, we’ll reach the point where some of these units are not repairable.” In the area of building maintenance, Guenther said the district was in the "band­ aid business". The elementary schools, particularly, he said have problems, especially Southeastern, where the roof leaks "We had a plan for repairing all of the roofs that we had to abandon when we got into financial difficulty,” he explained. Guether plans to present the options developed by the administrators and staff to the school board at its May 17 meeting. An initial budget recommendation would be available to the board by next Tuesday, he said. At this time, he said, he knew of no plans to present another millage proposal to the voters. He also said that at this point, he knew of no proposal to re-open contracts with the teachers and secretaries. Members of the Hastings School Board will receive cutback recommendations May 17. Teachers and citizens crowded the Junior High vocal music room for Tuesday's meeting of the Hastings School Board. Millage defeat blamed on economy, anti-tax attitude by Robert J. Johnston Hastings, Michigan Vol. 127, No. 17 Thursday, April 30,1982 County Board rejects order to increase agricultural state equalization values The Barry County Board of Com­ missioners Tuesday voted 8-2 to accept the county equalized value of agricultural property and to deny a state order requiring an additional levy of 2.3 percent. Commissioners Kenneth Radant and Albert Bell voted against the motion and Commissioner Walter Soya was absent. If the county does not levy the required 2.3 percent increase, the state will do so. said John Ainslie, new county equalization director. The extra agricultural increase has been the subject of debate in recent weeks by many township supervisors, taxpayers, and sympathetic commissioners who feel that taxes in the county are already too high or in line with what they should be without a 2.3 increase. An April 6 request by the county board asking the state to leave the county’s equalization the same for one year was denied. Correspondence, the board received from John H. Person of the State Tax Commission, rejecting that request was placed on file this week. For a variety of reasons, six of the 16 townships in the county have already met state equalization requirements. The six are Baltimore,, Hastings, Irving, Johnstown. Prairieville and Rutland townships, with some adding the additional 2.3 agricultural increase and others just working out that way. • County assessor Michael Payne pointed out that "the state can only apply the multiplier to the county and not to individual townships.” With that fact in mind. Commissioner Radant voiced concern that thesix townships which have already complied might be subject to an additional increase if the state applies a multiplier. By a unanimous vote, commissioners accepted county equalized values for the following catagories: commercial, residential, industrial, development and personal property. (The figures for these categories have been accepted by the state). All equalization figures remain county equalized value until they are accepted by the state, at which time they become state equalized value. Commissioners and Equalization Director Ainslie were scheduled to meet this morning (April 29) with Gene Hall of the State Tax Commission. In other business, Norman Stanton of /.ssyria Township. Ronald Coats of Woodland Twp., and Susan Reyff of Thor­ napple Twp. were appointed to three-year terms on the county zoning appeals board. Their terms will expire April 1, 1985. Commissioner Dean reported that the Barry County Transit System will host an open house at 2 p.m. April 30. Facts and figures concerning the program will be available then. Commissioner Gordon reported that a special permit to operate a bar and restaurant on Wall Lake (where the former Wall Lake Inn was located before it was Destroyed by fire) was denied at a recent county planning commission meeting. “A special resort classification is still being looked into," he said. The board approved sending a resolution to the state Department of Transportation Jaycees recognize “outstanding” men The Jaycees recognized five Hastings men for their service to th° community by presenting them with awards at their annual banquet in the Hastings Moose Lodge , Monday. Terry Ploot, 2055 Venture Dr., manager of Pro Line Company, was named "boss of the year. Fred Jacobs, 461 Lakeside Dr., operations manager for J-Ad Graphics Inc., of Hastings and publisher of the Maple Valley News and Battle Creek Shopper News, was named "outstanding young man of the year”. Larry Haywood, 3200 Solomon Rd., a local dairyman, was named "outstanding farmer of the year. The Reverend Steve Reid, 436 E Bond, minister of both the Quimby United Methodist and the Faith Methodist churches, was named "outstanding young religious leader". John Merritt, 118 E. Grand, a teacher at Central School in Hastings, was named "outstanding father of the year". Ploot was selected for his award through the Jaycees annual contest that encourages employees to send a letter nominating their boss. Joycee award winners ore (from lefi) Rev. Sieve Reid outstanding religious leoder: Lorry Hoywood, outstanding former of the year; Terry Ploot boss of the year: Fred Jacobs, outstonding young mon of the year, and John Merritt, father of the year. Several employees of Pro Line Company signed a letter that offered Ploot for con­ sideration. Jacobs was selected for his award after Jaycees talked with community leaders, the Chamber of Commerce and his fellow workers. Jacobs has been involved in several community activities over the past few years including the Holiday Ball, Summerfest, the Barry County Fair Board, and the Light-aLight program. Haywood was selected for his award after the Jaycees talked with the Barry County Extension Office, Farm Bureau and farmers in the Hastings area. The Haywood farm is northwest of Hastings and is a 120 head dairy operation. Haywood is a member of the Independent Milk Producers Association and the Michigan State University Tel Farm Cooperator system (computer records). The Jaycees selected the Rev. Reid for his award after talking with local ministers. The Rev. Reid has organized gospel sings for the Hastings Summerfest and Nashville Harvesfest. and played the part of Peter in the annual play "A Drama of Peter". Merritt was recommended for his award by the Reverend Willard Curtis of the Presbyterian Church in Hastings. The Rev. Curtis said that Merritt is oriented to his family and children, and makes a concerted effort to spend good thoughful time with his children. One of Merritt's children is an adopted Korean child. Father John Opoku-Acquah of the St. Rose Catholic Church in Hastings, was the guest speaker at the banquet. requesting that the state leave the railroad tracks in place through the county even though the Kent-Barry-Eaton Connecting Railway’s subsidy has been cut. Com­ missioners expressed the belief that local input should be considered before the tracks are removed. Larry Hollenbeck, county director of civil defense, told the board that the U.S. Weather Service is the only agency that can issue a tornado watch or warning. Other agencies within the county can not. He also reported that the flood season is basically over in Barry County and anyone affected by flood damage in 1982 can file a casualty loss on their 1982 income tax. John Martinoff, director of CETA Mid­ Counties who is working as a private con­ sultant to the county, presented a classification system he has developed for county employees. Continued Next Column Penn Central accepts bids on Caledonia to Vermontville track by Greg Johnson Earlier this year railroad service was cut off in Hastings when a portion of the Kent, Barry, Eaton Connecting Railway was taken off subsidy by the Michigan Department of Transportation. Now the unused 28 miles of track may be leaving too. Penn Central Railroad Company is ac­ cepting bids on May 7, for the track itself, or for the rail corridor (the track and the land it is on). Hastings Attorney Richard Shuster of the Depot Law Offices, noticed men taking pictures of the track in Hastings last week. He notified the Banner and Paul Olson, director of rail corridor sales and marketing for Penn Central, told the Banner they are selling the 28-mile rail corridor as a unit or selling the track for salvage. "We have a list of seme 300 salvage companies that we notify of a sale," he said. “We sell to the highest bidder for the track. Of course it is to our economic benefit to sell as a corridor.” Olson said it is not uncommon for states or companies to make bids on corridors. A 105 mile stretch near Mackinaw was sold last year for over $6 million. If just the track is purchased, it must come up, Olson said. Don Reil, of the Michigan Department of Transportation, confirmed that the state cancelled their lease with Penn Central for the line on April 1. Olson said Penn Central would be in­ terested in talking to anyone wanting to make a bid. Olson can be reached at Penn Central in Philadelphia. The overwhelming defeat of the proposed 5.3 mill tax increase for the Hastings Area School District is being blamed on the con­ dition of the economy and the anti-tax at­ titude of voters. Hastings voters turned down the proposal 2,702-1,073, Monday. The turnout was the largest on record for a school election, with 54 percent of the district’s 7,000 registered voters casting ballots. "A lot of things had an effect," Superin­ tendent of Schools Richard Guenther said. "Number one is the overall problems of the economy." Guenther also said that school elections are the only place voters can express dissatisfaction. "The mood of the voters and the issues involved were such that it was probably doomed from the start,” School Board President Dr. William Baxter added. "It's a general anti-tax attitude. School districts all over the state certainly are having the same troubles.” Guenther said that the (teachers') con­ tract and current salaries were part of the election results, though not a total factor. "I have a feeling that there were some general objects, resentment I guess, tliat so much of the millage was going for salaries," Baxter said. “I think the community rejected that concept. Lynn McConnell, chairman of the millage committee appointed by the school board, agreed that the economy was a factor in the election. "When you get right down to it, this is the only place where people can say no," Mc­ Connell said. “I can’t hold it against anybody for saying no when the economy is the way it is.” County Commission continued Commissioners voted to receive Mar- , tinoff's study and to pay him a $2,000 balance due for his work. Martinoff received *500 initially and will receive an additional $300 after presenting his plan to department heads. Martinoff will present his plan to department heads but no decision to im­ plement the plan has been made. The board approved a $699.90 payment to the Prosecutor's office for a legal intem. Anthony Paruk, a senior at Cooley Law School, will be working in the prosecutor's office beginning May 4 for an hourly wage of $450. Cooley Law School will reimburse 70 percent of his wages. McConnell said the election was difficult to predict. He said that he didn’t think anyone predicted the large turnout. "The chances of passage would have been better if the turnout was smaller,” he con­ tinued, “though I doubt if that would have made much difference.” Leaders of the Hastings Education Association declined to comment on the election because they had not yet had a chance to discuss it with their members. McConnell said that his committee also had not had a chance to analyze the election campaign and will hold a follow-up meeting in a couple of we^ks. Baxter said that, some school board members have discussed going back to voters and seeking a smaller amount. “This is certainly one of the things we will look at," he said. Originally, the board had planned to place at'millage proposal before the voters with several increasing steps. The stale attorney general's office, however, said that ballot was illegal. The board then chose to place only the entire amount needed on the baUot. Baxter also said that another area being considered was asking the teachers and secretaries to reopen their contracts. That would have to be done before the teachers leave for the summer, he said. "Lookingat (the teachers’ contract) as six percent (wage increase) per year for three years and considering some wage im­ provements that we got,” Baxter said, “I still think it’s a good contract. We didn’t get any community benefit from the wage freeze. I think they (voters) have forgotten that. They are looking at 19 percent over two years." The contract between the school board and the HEA provided for a wage freeze the first year and 9.5 percent increases each of the second two years. “I figure that the pubLc has spoken and we’re going to have to deal with what they said to us,” Baxter continued. "My biggest concern is that if we put 32 or 34 kids in a classroom. I think of my son in the fourth grade. The education just can’t be as good as if with 24 or 25 kids. "I think (the voters) said they can’t afford 25:1 (pupil-teacher ratio). Whether they wanted to say it, I don't know. I assume they wanted to say it since they said it so decisively.” McConnell did express his thanks to the people who worked on the millage com­ mittee. “A lot of people did a lot of work," he said. “I personally appreciate it and will be conveying that to them." Over half the eligible voters in the Hastings School District turned out for Tuesday’s special millage election. �The Hastings Banner - Thursday, April 30,1982 - Page 2 Open house will unveil new country transit system to the Editor: by Greg Johnson Since 1974 gasoline ’axes in Michigan have gone into the state’s Urban and Mass Transportation Fund. On Saturday Barry County citizens can get a look at what some of that money is being used for. The new Barry County Transit system will host an open house from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for citizens to view the red and white buses, and the building that houses them. Free rides will be given to and from the Home Show at the Barry County Fairgrounds or the Barry County Courthouse to the new facility at 2780 Gun Lake Road. To The Editor: 2,702 of you voted no for the school millage. Tell me why. No, wait, let me guess. You voted no because you feel that the administration already makes to much money. Is that .he fault of our children? No. But, they will suffer because your no vote • cuts out an elementary vocal program, physical education, new school books, athletics. 25-1 pupil teacher ratio, and in­ structional supplies. You voted no because YOU didn’t get a raise, so why should the teachers. Do you realize that the teachers are going tc get their raise anyway? That issue was already settled by the school employees contract. It just means that fewer teachers will get a raise because they will be laid off. Keep in mind that the teachers have been vorking under a wage freeze for one year. In any business, employee wages and salaries are the biggest expense. The schools are a business too. You voted no because you are unemployed. I certainly can understand your situation. Did you know that according to the Homestead Act, you can receive the tax increase back? In fact, you would get back more than what the millage would have cost, if you qualify. The information on this issue hasn't been widely publicized. Maybe you voted no because you no longer have children in school. These children will be your leaders in 5-15 years. Someone put your children through school. It’s important to continue this trend. Maybe you were a yes person, until you read the Banner last week. Their pie diagram was very clear and factual. Did you notice that athletics was in bold print at 4.0 percent? Even though music and textbook had a higher percent, they were in small print The headlines stated ‘‘Teachers pay raise big question in upcoming school vote." Shouldn't THE BIG issue be quality education for our children? Is there an alternative to what has hap­ pened in Hastings? Now is the time to join forces and proceed forward. We can't afford to have a divided town. I sincerely hope that the school administrators, the teachers, and the community can come together and find a way to offer our children a w**ll rounded education. Hastings has always been for­ tunate enough to have it in the past. I’m not about to let that change for my children or anyone else’s. Hastings is a broad-minded progressive community. Let’s keep it that wa* Sincerely, Debbie Storms 520 E. Francis The Urban and Mass Transportation Fund has paid the initial investment bill and will fund the system for the first two and one half years, Transit manager Ted Bustance reports. After that passenger fares are ex­ pected to take care of costs. The investment bill was $195,988 and it covered the six buses, building renovation and all the equipment needed to get the system on the road, Bustance said. Since Feb. 1, the system has been tran­ sporting passengers in what Bustance calls the “start-up phase" "We were in a start-up phase consisting of training our full time, part time and sub drivers,” he said. "This allowed time to acquaint them with all of our contract runs, in addition to learning to operate our new vehicles in a safe and proficient manner. We feel now we can offer our clients a safe and most enjoyable ride." Bustance said-the cost of the training period was in the neighborhood of $11,000. The state had appropriated $17,000 for the job, and Bustance said the savings goes back into the Urban and Mass Transportation Fund. The state has said that the first year’s operating expenses (Feb. 1 to Feb.l, 1983) will be $296,092. Some of the expenses projected include administrative costs, salaries, maintenance, gas, oil and tires. The Banner rides the bus by Ken Reibel Who rides the bus? What's it like? What are the feelings of those who do ride the bus? The Banner recently went on a bus ride to give its readers an idea of what they can expect from their new transit system. We got on the bus in front of the Com­ munity Activities Center on Michigan St., and were welcomed by the driver, Dan Smith. Riding along also was Isadore Johncock, or«of three senior aides employed by the transit system whose job it is to assist senior citizens and the handicapped on and off the bus. We took off in a southerly direction for our first stop on Bond St., where we picked up an elderly gentleman on his way to the CAC for lunch. As it turned out, all but one of the passengers we rode with that day were going to the center for lunch. From Bond St., we headed towards M-37, then took a right onto Clinton St., drove several blocks and cut over to Broadway for our second rider, a woman on her way to lunch. We continued up Broadway, over the bridge to Hidden Valley Apartments, where we picked up the only non-lunch person, a woman on her way to Mary’s Beauty Shop. There were now six persons on the bus. We headed north down Broadway, and at a house near Amy St., the hydraulic lift was put into action, and an older gentleman in a wheelchair was let on. Isadore Johncock, the senior aide, assisted the man as his chair was strapped to the wall behind the driver. The man's name is Don Deacon, and like so many, he was going to lunch. "I go everyday," said Deacon. How does he like the bus? “I couldn’t ask fcr anything better than what we've got,” he answered. We continued south on Broadway, the ladies with their hands folded neatly in their laps, some clutching plastic shopping bags with gay floral prints as the bus bounced over the railroad tracks. At Mary’s Beauty Shop at Church and State streets* we let out the lady from Hidden Valley Apartments. Then the bus went west, then uack north on Broadway to pick up a rider at a small white house near the bridge. An older lady with an aluminum cane got on. Destination lunch. “I go five days a week," she said. The bus continued its run, heading down E. State St. to Thorn and First for another lunch goer. Everyone we talked to on the bus was appreciative of the service. Eileen Sullivan, on her way to the CAC, said she uses the bus for her shopping. “They help me carry the groceries right up to my door. I used to be able to handle them by myself, but not anymore. "I don't know what I would do without the bus,” she added. Finally we returned to the CAC, and with a shout from the driver of “Watch your step” and "See you this afternoon", the bus emp­ tied. Fares collected will be deducted from the $296,092 figure each month, after Bustance makes his monthly operating report to the state. He estimates that V53.000 of fare:; will be taken in during the first year. Ridership figures, mileage, gas gallon usage and passengers per vehicle hour will also be included in the reports, Bustance said. Currently the system is transporting about 160 people a day. About 90 of those are on contract runs with EBI, 50 are senior citizens through the Commission On Aging (COA), and 10 are general public. The state requires the system follow a priority list. First on the list is contract runs, second COA, and last general public. “We would like to see an increase in use by the general public,” Bustance said. “We think this sytem can serve everyone in the county." Bestance's figures on ridership per hour reveal a steady increase over the first three months. In February 3.4 riders per hour used the system increasing to 3.79 per hour in March, and Bustance is projecting a 4.5 per hour figure for April. Bustance said the 160 riders the system is currently serving each day is well ahead of a schedule projected by the state. The state said at the end of the first year the system should be servicing 240 riders a day. Bustance said the system will reach that number by the end of four months (June 1). “It is a humbling experience to see 50 senior citizens be able to move around," Bustance said. “The thing I would like to point out, however, is that we are doing what used to take seven buses in just three and one half buses now.” Bustance said that four of his buses are now doing the job of the five former EBI buses, and the two former COA buses. Bustance said the system is seeking ad­ ditional contract business, similar to EBI. In an effort to gain more riders from the general public, Bustance presented a special plan to the Barry County Transit Com­ mission. His plan divides the county’s 16 townships into quarters,' four townships in each quandrant. Each quadrant would get one day of the week for service from the one bus carrying out the plan. For instance, on the first day of the week the bus would service Thornapple, Irving, Yankee Springs and Rutland townships. On the second day it would service Carlton, Woodland, Hastings and Castleton. On the third day service would be in Orangeville, Hope, Prairieville and Barry, and on the fourth day service would be available in Baltimore, Maple Grove, Johnstown and Assyria. “This would allow people to set up their schedule for doing shopping, whatever, around our schedule," Bustance said. “That way we can avoid several trips all over the county, all week long, that result in just a few people being on the bus.” Bustance has been keeping records on the numbers of riders in each township since the system started. He feels the data will help him organize the use of the buses, and also help him show county government what the system provides. After the urban transportation funds stop in two and one half years, fare money is supposed to take the fundingjoad, but if it doesn't Bustance said he will ask the county for money. "If I have to ask for money, I will be able to show them exactly what passenger use there is in each township," he said. They will have all the data to make a sound decision.” Bustance, a former E. W. Bliss employee, said his goal for the system is to make it as self supporting as possible. “I’m confident that if we get the riders we can make this system go," he said. "We offer what can be a very valuable service to the citizens of Barry County.” Currently, the radio controlled system services the county from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. EBI service starts the day and ends it. Service to COA riders and the general public is available from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. They ask for 24 reservation requests. Senior citizens and handicapped individuals ride the bus for 50 cents up to 12 miles, and 90 cents over 12 miles. The general public pays $1 for the first 12 miles and a $1.80 after. Children under five ride for free. In addition to the open house on Saturday, a ribbon-cutting dedication is being held Friday at 2 p.m. Representatives from the Michigan Department of Transportation and Barry County Commissioners will be in attendance. PUBLIC OPINION: Transit passengers are appreciative of the bus service, and the help they receive from the driver and senior aid. THIS WEEK’S QUESTION: The United States, bound by treaties to support both Argentina and Great Britain, has not yet publicly taken sides In the Falkland Islands crisis. Should the U.S. continue to remain neutral or could we help resolve the crisis by taking sides? Whose side should we be on? (Editor's Note: The varying type sized in the pie chart were the result of typesetting techniques. The words and numbers on the chart were set in type sizes which best filled the space available. > To The Editor: Your paper is now an excellent one! Coverage of the school millage very good! We do not want to miss a single issue. Sincerely, Rowena Hale To Our Readers: The Banner has received some criticism this week for our treatment of the millage issue in last week's paper. That criticism has come, primarily, from people involved in the school system — teachers, administrators and school board members. A few points need to be clarified. First, we believe that the state of the economy, projected increases in taxes at the state level, current property tax levels, dissatisfaction in the community with pay scales in the school system were the reasons for the overwhelming defeat of the millage. We can judge by the reaction in the com­ munity that our articles and chart were well read, but we do not believe they were a fundamental cause in such a large defeat. Second, the pie chart contained a technical omission The money designated for salaries and benefits, shown as 54 percent of the in­ creased revenue from the millage proposal, was not designated for teachers alone. Other employees would have received some of this money, but by far the largest share was earmarked for teachers, who make up the largest group of employees. We point out that it was not an intentional distortion of the facts, which is that $535,000 of the proposed increase in revenues were for salaries and benefits. In no way was the pie chart >---------- The Hastings designed to imply as some people have said, that the teachers were getting a 54 percent pay raise. Reading either of the two millage stories in the paper would have made that clear. Third, J-Ad Graphics, Inc., has always strived to present schools in a positive light, as evidenced by the countless stories on school activities in all of our publications. More than that, we have always tried to be fair and objective in our reporting. One issue of The Banner has not changed that policy. We will continue to emphasize fair, factual, objective and clear reporting. We maintain a highly competent, professional staff of reporters to carry out that policy. Finally, Hastings schools face some serious problems which have divided our community. The number one priority should be the best education for our children which we can afford. In providing that education. Banner Send Form P.S. 3579 to P.O. Box B (USPS071-830) 1952 N. Broadway, P.O. Box B. Hastings, Ml 49058 Graphics, Inc.

Clifford Morse Mike Kaslnsky Arthur Brewer we must compensate school employees at wages in line with other school districts in similar economic situations. It is up to the school board and the voters to decide how. much money should be raised and how it should be spent. This week the voters said, overwhelmingly, that t 5.3 mill increase was too much to ask. With this in mind, we hope some reasonable compromises can be made to set a level of spending and wages which the community will accept. We believe that an informed community can be an asset, not a detriment, to reaching those compromises. As a newspaper. The Hastings Banner, intends to continue keeping the community informed.

The dispute between Great Britain and Argentina over the heretofore unheard of Falkland Islands has taken on the trappings of a major mecia event. As the British fleet sails inexorably forth to those windswept isles, the world watches, and armchair admirals everywhere ask the same timeless questions. Will the brave Britons blast the bellicose Argentines from the South Atlantic archipelago? Or will the plucky pariahs of the pampas propel the pompous imperialists from that penguin-packed outpost?...Stay tuned, film at eleven. Most of this week’s respondents agreed that the U.S. should stay neutral. Eric Freeman of Hastings would rather see America's treaties with Great Britain and Argentina eliminated rather than see our country take a side. “Look out for number one first," said Freeman. Meanwhile, Aaron Freeman (Eric's brother) took a more relaxed view. While agreeing with his brother that we should remain neutral in the dispute, he said the U.S. should support Great Britain if »he U.S. were forced to choose a side because, he said, "it would make my history teacher happy." "Myself, I'd prefer a neutral standing on the issue," said Rod Bracy of Middleville. He added that he didn’t know enough of the history of the Falklands to say any more. Clifford Morse, of Hastings, believes the U.S. should support Great Britain because “during the Second World War they were our allies, and Argentina has not been. Great Britain stood by us ior a long, long time. They're one of our closest friends in the world. We can't just leave them." pete Dejager “If we take any side it should be Great Britain’s," says Joann Hewitt of Hastings. "I don’t think any country should go into another one like Argentina did.” Mike Kasinsky, a Bliss employee, is for neutrality, no matter what. "If we have treaties on both sides, that's the United Nation’s problem. If it turns into a dispute, it could be a U.N. thing, like Korea was.” And Pete DeJager, a native of Perth Australia, currently working as a flight instuctor in Hastings, says the United States should remain neutral, but if a side must be taken then "the U.S. should not take sides with the Argentinians." But Dejager adds "I don't think the British would need any allies to beat the Argen­ tinians." �The Hastings Banner - Thursday, April 30.1982 - Page 3 Banquet honoring him May 5: Hastings to honor longtime community benefactor Ken Reahm Many organizations in the Hastings area have benefited by Ken Reahm's active participation in the community. Whether it was raising funds for Boy Scouts or soliciting pledges to build a new hospital wing, Reahm responded with a willingness that helped projects gain momentum. Reahm seemed to specialize in realizing needs and helping to make goals become realities and because of his positive attitute he has been called upon to help many organizations over the years. Reahm, who resides on Wall Lake, operated an automobile dealership in Hastings for 45 years until Feb. 5 when poor economic conditions in the state forced him out the door. The building which housed Reahm Motor Sales at 107 N. Michigan is silent now and the car lot is empty. But although Reahm has made his exit from local business, his con­ tributions to the community are firmly rooted. Because of Reahm's active participation in the community, he is being honored at a May 5 banquet at the Hastings Moose Lodge. In fact. May 2-8 has been declared KEN REAHM WEEK. .Richard Shuster, who is one of the program’s planners, said the evening will include plaudits plus "some good natured teasing harkening back to some humorous incidents that have occured in the past. The program is expected to be a program that everyone will enjoy.” Reahm served as president of the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce in 1945-46 and ironically one of his major involvements was helping to attract new industry to Hastings. He and several others also worked to keep Hastings Aluminum Products in the city. There were some zoning problems to iron out and it proved to be quite a hassle, Reahm recalls, but their efforts proved to be suc­ cessful in retaining the company. Chamber members also were involved at various times in helping to retain other companys like E.W. Bliss and Hastings Manufacturing. The chamber was comprised of 65-75 members then and Reahm says tl»ey were "pretty active workers." "The biggest secret" of a successful organization, he says, is the number of workers it has; not just ? large membership. The chamber “was a businessman’s way of trying to do something for the city. I was interested in trying to upgrade our city. Hastings is an industrial town and as in­ dustry goes, so goes Hastings," he said. One of the major stumbling blocks in luring new industry to Hastings was the lack of a north-south railroad, Reahm said. Wolverine Tube Co. was one industry that might have located in Hastings if there had been such a railroad. Around 1950, Reahm joined the Hastings Rotary Club and became chairman of a fund raising effort to coordinate a project with the local Kiwanis, Lions, Optimists, and Rotary clubs to raise money to purchase a station wagon to transport special education students in Barry County to Ann J. Kellogg School in Battle Creek. The four clubs split the cost of purchasing the station wagon which Reahm sold to them Hastings student at top of national test Sherry Short, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Short, 6633 Lammers Rd., placed among the top 50,000 ot over 1 million students who took the 1981 Preliminary Scholarship Aptitude Test-National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. A junior at Hastings High School, Short • plans to pursue studies ao a medical technologist. She has not yet chosen a college. A member of the high school Biology Club, she has completed two biology classes and one chemistry class in the science area. Short may later qualify as a semifinalist in the Merit Scholarship competition. 15,000 students, whose scores place them in the lop half of one percent of secondary school seniors in their states, will be named as semifinalists and will be notified of their standing in September. Placing in the top 50,000 gives her the opportunity to participate in the National Merit Scholaiship Corporation’s college plans reporting service. The testing firm will send her name, home address, high school name and address along with her scores and proposed college major and career choices to the two regionally accredited four-year institutions in the United States which she designates. Frequently the colleges notified contact the students identified with admissions and financial aid information.

'IddeddinfyA and£ng.ag.ementd: at his cost. Reahm received a citation from Rotary for his role in the project. The station wagon was used successfully for three years and paved the way for permanent bus transportation to Ann J. Kellogg. However, the project proved more com­ plicate! than just raising money. The station wagon was to be donated to the Battle Creek Board of Education but Reahm and five others had to go to Lansing to get a rule changed before the board could accept the gift, he recalls. “It was a lot of work, but I had good helpers who were nice to work with,” Reahm said. He eventually became president of Rotary, serving from 1956-57. It was during that period that the organization moved its meeting place from the Parish House to the Hastings Hotel. As a Rotarian, Reahm also was in charge of several other fund raisers like the chicken and roast beef dinners that were held. Reahm is very modest when it comes to talking about his contributions and when asked about the time he received the Rotary Red Rose Award, he answers by telling that Tom Stebbins earned one too and proceeds to tell about the “great job Stebbins has done for the city.” Reahm and Cedric Morey worked together to solicite contributions from local and outof-town industry for a $2.5 million addition to Pennock Hospital. They spent a good deal of a summer on that project and tallied donations of $85,000 toward the construe don. In the '60’s Reahm was responsible for raising funds which kept Boy Scouts in the area even though his own sons weren’t even in the organization. A friend involved in Scouting approached Reahm about the Scouts' need for $1,500 to keep the group together. In just half a day, Reahm was successful in raising that amount by contacting local businessmen who made donations. Scouts “were poor in those days and I felt sorry for them,” Reahm says. “It was great to be able to help them." Driver training students at Hastings High School l»ave benefited over the years because of Reahm’s generosity. Reahm is the man responsible for the establishment of a driver's training program at the school in the late 1940’s. Working with Lee Lamb who was superintendent at the time, Reahm offered to furnish cars for the program and continued to do so up until last year. “They would use one of my cars 12 months out of the year. I would donate one to be used for six months and then take it back and give them another. There were not as many to train back when the program sla.-led. But it grew to the point where they were using 10-12 cars at a time. Reahm is a life member of all the Masonic Orders: Blue Lodge, Chapter, Commandry, Shrine, and 32nd Degree. It was through his involvement with the Shriners that he helped with the organization’s Crippled Children s program — several times using his own money to take children to a clinic in Chicago. The children he personally helped included a girl with a congenital hip problem and a 14year-old boy with back troubles. “I still get a thank you from that fellow.” he said. As a member of the board of directors of the Hastings Savings and Loan Association, Reahm sometimes was involved two days a week on the appraisal board for property and loans. He served on the board from 1952-76 and recalls that at the beginning of his tenure a $10,000 loan for a home was considered a big loan and “almost unheard of." On his homefront, Reahm was elected president of the Wall Lake Association, serving in that capacity for several years. That was the era when the lake's two separate associations (north lake residents and south lake residents) joined together to form one organization and make im­ provements on a large scope. Other activities include work for the Barry-Calhoun Local TB and Emphysema Association and the United Fund. One of Reahm’s most recent ac­ complishments was the establishment three years ago of the Silent Observer program through the Hastings chamber and Hastings Police Department. Others working to im­ plement the program were John Warren, Frank Fuhr, and Bill Renner, he said. Aimed at the prevention of crime, the program is patterned after successful programs in Muskegon, Grand Rapids, and Battle Creek. Reahm said the idea for the Silent Ob­ server program deveibped after he and two other car dealers and the local Savings and Loan experienced vandalism at their businesses. Vandals had damaged some of Reahm's cars with marks and by kicking fenders. Another dealer had the same problem and another had a pick-up truck stolen. Windows were smashed at the savings and loan. Since the Silent Observer program was implemented the problem has "quieted down," Reahm said. The program en­ courages witnesses to talk to police without becoming involved in court. It also gives a monetary award for information leading to the arrest and conviction of a person or persons involved in a crime. Reahm received the Rotary’s Red Rose Award for his part in the Silent Observer program. "1 was just doing the normal duties any good Rotarian will do," he modestly says. Summing up his community involvement, Reahm is modest again. "AU of these things are nothing to brag about." he says "Heel so humble and I was happy,to to it. I just happened to get involved during an era when those things were necessary and I was able to do it.” Even though the economy dealt a blow to Reahm’s own business, he isn't pessimistic about the future. On the contrary, “I’m very optomistic about the future. We live Li a great country and have a lot of great things going. Basically, we re at a low ebb at the present time but a future upgrowth is due shortly. I just couldn’t wait that long, personally. The 71-year-old Reahm is looking forward to doing some traveling with his wife, Alene, and spending more time with his four grandchildren. Fishing and "doing all the little things I liave not been able to do ’ are also on his retirement agenda. Tickets for the banquet honoring Reahm are available at local pharmacies and banks, the Hastings Savings and Loan Association^ WBCH, the Hastings Area Chamber and from members of the Hastings Kiwanis and Rotary clubs. Any proceeds above the cost of the banquet (tickets are $7.50 each and tax deductible) will be donated to the Sheriff’s Department dive van fund.

West State at Broadway Member FDIC All Deposits Insured up to *100,000 �The Hastings Banner - Thursday, April 30,1982 - Page 4 Church of the Nazarene holding revivals May 4 thru 9 Church Women United to meet at Delton Faith United Church Church Women United of Barry County will celebrate May Fellowship Day on May 7 at Faith United Methodist Church, Delton, at 9:30 a.m. Nursery will be provided. Mrs. Violet Holman of Faith United Methodist Church is chairman of the celebration. Women from the following churches will participate in the program: Welcome Corners United Methodist; Country Chapel, Dowling; First Presbyterian, Hastings; St. Ambrose Catholic of Delton; First United Methodist, Hastings; and Faith United Methodist. May Fellowship Day is the occasion when Church Women United reflects upon, celebrates, and commits itself to the work of Christian ecumenuism, ieconciliation, and peace in the local community. The first observance was in 1933. This year’s theme, “The Power of Words", invites the community to recognize the potential of words to be both helpful and harmful, and to resolve to use words to bring understanding and unity. Church Women United from Oregon and Washington are the authors. The women contributing represent eight religious traditions. In this service, the women have drawn upon their experiences involving the use of language in dealing with such community concerns as discrimination, and cooperation in racial, ethnic, cultural, religious or economic issues. The May Fellowship Day offering, unlike World Day of Prayer and World Community Day, is not a national offering. Because of the emphasis on local concerns, the offering is retained in each community for local programs. The Fellowship of the Least Coin will be received at this time. Once a year, individual women bring their coins together in each local community to the annual May Fellowship Day celebration. Old Glory never dies There is only one way to dispose of an old American flag, and the American Legion will show you how it's done. The legion will hold a flag disposal ceremony this Saturday, May 1, at 8 p.m. at the corner of S. Church and Green St. If you have a worn, faded, tattered or un­ serviceable flag, you are asked to bring it to the legion headquarters anytime prior to the ceremony. Durable 3 feet by 5 feet cotton flags will be available at cost at the City Bank parking lot. '/io tcc un.i Delton Area DELTON SEVENTH DAY ADVEN­ TIST. Corner Piter and Cedar Creek Rd Paul S. Howell.

April 30,1982 - Page 5 West Woodland News by Victor Sisson Thought for the Week: One thing is certain — if we brood over our troubles, we have a perfect hatch every time. In response to perhaps thousands of petitions from Christians from all parts of the country wh*ch reached his desk, President Ronald Reagan has placed his name on a proclamation setting Thursday, May 6,1982 as a National Day of Prayer and urges everyone to spend a portion of that day in prayer. In the dark days of 1863, when the awful calamity of the Civil War was desolating the land, that great president, Abraham Lincoln, issued a Proclamation for a Day of Humiliation. F asting and Prayer — Thurday, the 30th day of May, 1863. Since Ronald Reagan took office, and even before, he has mad? it clear that he needed the help and leadership of Almighty God. He has also made it clear that he desired prayer for our nation. It is the opinion of multitudes of people who are in a position to know, that never was our beloved country in as serious a trouble as it is today and only God can save us. Let everyone who loves our country set aside this dgy, May 6, and take time to pray much. One of our great leaders said recently, "I can not see more than five years yet of freedom in the U.S.A. — then Communism, Russia. Cuba!” There is still hope, read II Chronicles, 9:14.

The Community Action Agency of South Central Michigan is cooperating with numerous agencies and organizations in facilitating the second-round distribution of processed American cheese accumulated by the federal government. State officials in Michigan have ordered a total of 2.5 million pounds of cheese to distribute within the next few weeks. One major change -in eligibility requirements is that all persons, regardless of age, must meet one of the following critera. To be eligible to receive the cheese a person must be the head of a household, unemployed; eligible for one or more public assistance programs, like medicaid, general assistance (GA), food stamps, supplemental security income 'SSI) benefits, Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), or served by a Community Action Agency; or have family income equal to or below 125 percent of the poverty level. The income guidelines are: household size of one, non-farm income of $5,850, farm in­ come, $5,013; household size of two is non­ farm $7,775, farm. $6,638; household size of three, non-farm $9,700 and farm $8,268; household size of .four non-farm $11,625 and farm 9,888; household size of five non-farm 13,500 and farm 11,513; household size of six, non-farm 15,475 and farm 13,138. The income criteria is applicable to all persons desiring cheese. Senior citizens must meet one of the previously stated criteria to be eligible for the cheese this time. Because a number of shut-ins meet the eligibility requirements but have no way to obtain the cheese, a representative for that person may pick-up the cheese. It is requested that the shut-in write a note identifying their representative and provide a form of identification proving eligibility. A five pound block of cheese will be given to these with a family size of 1-4 persons. For those with five or more per family, 10 pounds of cheese will be given. If an individual requests more than one loaf of cheese, but has no proof of family size, only one loaf of cheese will be given. Each person requesting the cheese should bring some form of identification as a method for verifying their eligibility. Possible forms of identification include a medicaid card, food stamp card, copy of SSI or a copy r.f social security check, a bank direct deposit slip, or an unemployment notification. Ail people who receive cheese are required to sign a Surplus Cheese Client Distribution-Affirmation list. The recipients of the cheese will certify that the cheese received will be used only for persona) consumption by members of their households. They will also certify that they have received no cheese from another distribution center. Cheese distribution for Barry County will be May 5 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the following sites and times: —After Sixty* Club, located in the Old Baptist Church at Main and Grand Rapids St. in Middleville. —American Legion Post, 3801 Hickory Rd. in Hickory Corners. —Dept, of Social Services, 555 W. Woodlawn, Hstings. —Maple Valley Arms, 106 Lentz St. Nash­ ville. — Methodist Community House in the Nashville Methodist Chuck, Nashville. —Prairieville Township Hall, 10115 Norris Rd., Prairieville. —St. Ambrose Church, 11252 Floria Rd., Delton. —Seventh Day Adventists, Health and Welfare Center, 502 E. Green, Hastings. —United Methodist Church, Eagles Building (south side), 125 N. Main St., Woodland. Cheese will be distributed from 1-5 p.m. at St. Francis Church, 11252 W. Nine Mile Rd., Orangeville. Persons on low-sodium diets should be aware that the surplus cheese, like most processed cheese, has a high sodium content. A two-ounce serving of cheese contains 636 mg sodium. Flames sweep across 20 acres by Ken Reibel Four fire departments and a DNR bulldozer fought a Sunday afternoon grass fire in Irving township, involving 20 acres of field It could have been much worse. Roger Caris, Hastings fire chief, said approximately 20 firefighters battled flames that reached six to seven feet high al points, and if it wasn’t for a nearby swamp, the fire would have gone much farther, involving a woods and more grass fields. “We were having a heck of a time con­ taining it,” said Caris. The grass fire at the Mahlon Frisbie residence, 4111 Buehler Rd., was apparently set off by open trash burning, according to Caris. Other fires that kept Hastings firefighters busy in the past week were: — A small patch of state-owned land burned Sunday night, April 25, at Welcome Rd. and N. Broadway. — A grass fire at the Jim Essington residence, 5300 Gun Lake Rd., burned off % of an acre Sunday around noon. A unit from the DNR assisted Hastings, Middleville and Freeport firefigh*ers in dousing a roaring field fire in Irving Township Sunday. April 25. Lake Odessa breathes sigh of relief after ammonia spill A farm accident caused a big stink in the Lake Odessa area Monday, but there were no injuries repoiied when 3,000 pounds of anhydrous ammonia fertilizer was spilled on a cornfield. An area of farmland about 100 feet in diameter vas saturated with the con­ centrated ammonia in a field off Huddle Rd. and as a precautionary measure about 50 pei sons nearby were evacuated from EB1 Breakthru’s east office on M-50. The accident happened about 2:10 p.m. when Ronald Erickson, a farmer who resides on Velte Rd., was hauling a tank of the chemical in the cornfield, according to Lake Odessa Fire Chief Gordon Eldridge. The hitch broke on Erickson’s wagon, causing.the pungent liquid to pour on the ground, said the chief. "About all that you can do is dilute it.” Eldridge said of the chemical spill. About 10 members of the village fire department and ambulance service were called to the scene and about 10 firefighters worked for about 30 minutes to hose 1,250 gallons of water on the affected area. When spilled, anhydrous ammounia is potentially dangerous because it turns into a deadly vapor when it hits the air and can give freeze burns. “It’s cold and it burns,” said Eldridge, and if you get to close to it, you can’t breathe.” Fortuanately, there were no injuries and at the time of the spill, the wind was coming from a northeasterly direction at about two mph, he said. However, as a safety measure about 50 rehabilitation students and staff were told to leave the east EBI center for the day. Eldridge said it will be awhile before Erickson will be able to plant corn on the section of the field where the chemical was spilled. Sheriffs eject rowdies in Vermontville Barry County sheriffs gave Vermontville police a hand Friday night in closing a bar full of brawling patrons. ’ • The Eaton County Sheriff Dept, contacted Barry sheriffs late Friday night to say that two Vermontville police officers needed assistance with subjects in the Carpenters Den Bar. When the sheriffs arrived, they found the officers fighting with the crowd. One arrest was made in that tracus. Sheriffs say someone broke into the Seventh Day Adventist Church on Pifer Rd. in Delton, stealing stereo equipment and a slide projector. Church officials reported the break-in April 17. Entry to the church was apparently gained through a window. The case is under investigation. Hastings City police recovered two stolen ten-speed bicycles Sunday from the Thor­ napple River under the Broadway bridge. The bicycles were reported stolen from a Monroe St. residence Saturday, April 24, around 7:30 p.m. They were recovered in good condition.

The Hastings City Council, Monday, set aside $350,000 for future streets, parks and water developments, though no special project has been designated. Councilmen David Jasperse, Fourth Ward, and Gordon Bennett, Second Ward, voted against the move. Mary Spackman, First Ward, chairman of the Finance Committee, moved to transfer $50,000 from the unappropriated surplus to an appropriated surplus account for street development, $200,000 for park development, and $100,000 for water improvements. Spackman said Thursday morning that the funds were set aside for future needs, which she did not specify. She noted that the funds cannot be spent without further approval of the council. “If development comes on the west side of the city, there's money in the fund," finance committee member Mary Lou Gray, Third Ward, responded to Jasperse, who questioned the need for the transfer. Spackman did say Thursday that the finance committee would like to develop Fish Hatchery Park. In other action, the council heard the first reading of the proposed water and sewer increases, which raise the cost of new meter connections from $175 to $500 for the smallest two sizes of meters. The proposed ordinance also jumps water and sewer rates nine percent across the boar i. The minimum bill will now be $10 for water and $14.50 for sewer, based on a charge of $1 per hundred cu. ft. (up to 10,000 cu. ft.) of water use and $1 45 per hundred cu. ft. for the smallest size meters. A public hearing on the water increases has not yet teen set. Richard Shaw, city attorney, proposed that Country Club Drive be closed from the north line of Riverside Cemetery to the north line of Hastings Country Club, designated one way or be widened to accomodate two cars and have signs installed warning of golf carts. Shaw said in a letter to the council that the city is facing liability as the result o' an accident on the unpaved road. ■ Council recinded a previous action to participate in Mayor Exchange Day with Keego Harbor. City officials from Keego Harbor were unable to attend and because of the tight city budget, the council decided not to seek another exchange city. Fire Chief Roger Caris was given per­ mission to attend the state fire chiefs con­ vention in Midland, with necessary expenses paid, and William Ransom, superintendent of the wastewater treatment plant, was given permission to attend the Michigan Water Control Association Conference at Boyne Mountain, with necessary expenses. Shaw reported that the county animal control officer would attend the next council meeting to discuss a control program for loose dogs. He said that it is against the county ordinance for dogs to run at large. Hastings School Board puts off budget decision The Hastings Board of Education has postponed its regular May meeting by one week to give itself time to work on needed budget reductions, it was announced at the board's Tuesday, April 27 meeting. Richard Guenther, superintendent of schools, said the board will meet May 17 at Pleasantview school to hear recom­ mendations for trimming the lu82-83 school year budget. He further announced a special meeting of the board for June 1, at which time those recommendations would be acted upon. While the board has been hinting that pink slipping of teachers would be part of the budget reduction process, no board member directly addressed the issue at the meeting of how many school employees would be let go, or when the firings would take place. In another matter, it was decided that summer's drivers education would be limited to one class of 30 students. The move was made as a budgetary concession. Superintendent Guenther noted that state law prohibits the school system from charging for drivers ed, or cuttrg the program altogether. He further stated that the oldest 30 students eligible for drivers training would be accepted and that those students not included in the 30 would have to seek in­ struction elsewhere. The board further received the results of the April 26 special operating millage election. The results of that election, broken down by precincts, is as follows: Central Junior High: yes-949, .io-2,360; Pleasant view: yes-57, no-290 and absentee: yes-67, no52. Total: Yes-1,073. No-2,702.

Jackson Northwest took advantage of the Hastings miscues, scoring 12 unearned runs, and rolling to a 12-4 victory in Twin Valley play. Sheri Blair was the losing pitcher for Hastings giving up nine hits, walking five and striking out seven. The game was close until the fifth inning when bad things started happening to Saxons fielding chances and Jackson started collecting most of their nine hits. The Mounties scored three times in the fifth and five times in the sixth to put the game away. Tammy Connor led the loser's hitting attack with three singles and a run batted in. Teresa Ha use Shari Johncock and Dee Lowell each collected two hits a piece. Over the weekend the Saxons had much better luck against Albion, sweeping both ends of a doubleheader. 13-3 and 25-7. The Saxons pounded out 14 hits in the first game and 15 in the second game. Tammy Connor had three triples, a homerun and a single to lead the hitting attack. Amy Stack had a pair of round­ trippers and Hause bagged one, adding to the Saxon onslaught. The Saxons are now 3-2 overall, 2-1 in Twin Valley play. This weekend they play in the Wayland Invitational.

A loss will put them in the consolation game at 12:30 p.m. The junior varsity will also play in the tournament. Howitt leads Saxons to victory Hastings golfers open strong The Hastings High School golf team opened the season with wins in all three of their matches last week. They stopped Ionia on Tuesday, Battle Creek Pennfield on Wednesday, and Caledonia on Thursday to round out the perfect week. In Tuesday s 220-298 win over Ionia, Tracy Wallin fired a 51 to take medalist honors and lead the Saxons Coach Bob Carlson, a veteran coach of 20 years, said the weather for the match was probably the coldest a Saxon team has ever played in. Other Saxon scores carded were Deb Fowler with a 55, Barb Colvin with a 57 and Wendy Fowler with a 57. For Wednesday’s 222-264 win over Penn­ field the weather was better and Barb Colvin grabbed medalist honors carding a 52. Fowler was thwo shots back at 54. Wallin carded a 57, and Lisa Brownell shot a 59 to round out the Saxon scoring. Fast greens gave the Saxons some fits, but they still handled Caledonia 227-273 Thur­ sday. Wendy Fowler took medalist honors with a 55. Wallin and Colvin were right behind carding a 56 and a 57 respectively. Dykstra rounded out the Saxons scoring with 59. The Saxons finished the»week at 3-0. Saxon thinclads run past N.W.

Outdoor Report;* The Barry County forest land becomes a nursery this time of year. The last week of May and the first week of June are the traditional times for Michigan's deer herd to give birth to their fawns, the Department of Natural Resources reports. The doe will pick out a secluded spot. usually in the woods, and will bear one to three of the little critters. Over half the does in this area will have two fawns, the DNR said. The fawns will weigh about eight pounds, stand about one foot high, and will be brown with white spots. During their first week the fawns will lay quietly. They will not move from their birth place unless thier mother approaches and summons them, the DNR said. Thi$ she does by grunting or establishing eye contact and bobbing her head. In their first week of life the fawns will freeze in place when anyone or anything approaches. After that first week, they learn to run at the approach of danger. The DNR said that people that chance upon a fawn should not assume it is an orphan. The fawn is usually visited only once or twice a day by the mother. When people take the ‘‘orphaned” fawn home, they are taking away it’s chance for a natural life. Fawns are better off left alone, the DNR said. OTHER OUTDOOR SHORTS: The first phase of turkey hunting begins Wednesday in the Allegan area. Mason gals, Sturgis guys, win Hastings ralays Saturday’s annual Hastings Relays looked like a day at the beach. Many of the track athletes stretched out in the sun and listened to ghetto blaster radios until it was time to participate in their event. When they did participate the Mason girls team and the Sturgis boys team were the teams grabbing the attention. The Mason gals scored 61 points to take home first place honors, and the Sturgis boys tallied 55 to do the same. Of the three Barry County schools and the six teams representing them, the Hastings gals produced the best area showing. The Saxons got first place scoring from three field events and the open mile run for most of their 48 points and a third place finish in the team standings. Missie Pennock went 15 feet 1 inch in the McKeachie of Detroit were the second and third women in behind Blackford in the 10 mile. Smith was more than seven minutes in front of the second place woman in the five mile Mary Lund, 42, of Lansing, came in at 33:28 and Valerie Johnson of Southfield was third with a 34:20 clocking. Promoter Chuck Beachnau of Nashville said the race went over big. ‘‘The runne-s liked the course because it was challenging” he said. ‘‘The part they seemed to like best was running through the Festival and getting cheered on. It really, gave them a lift for the rest of the race.” Ribbons and awards were given to the top five runners in ceremonies Sunday, but Beechnau said special awards and plaques will be given out when the official results come back from New York. “Things get complicated whgn you get the TAC involved," Beechnau said. “They have to have all the people in the right places and make sure everything is official. Most of the local runners were back in the pack a ways, and we should have all their times by next week." Beachnau said that'over BOO runners had registered for the two races, but that just over 500 had made it to the race. Nearly 300 of those runners competed in the five mile race with the i-est running in the 10 mile event. On Friday night. Minty, McGuire and Smith were members of a panel discussion at Maple Valley High School giving the public a chance to meet them.

Colleen Corrigan won the discus competition for the Saxons with a 98 foot 74 inch throw, and Laura AUerdingwent 5 foot 1 inch in the high jump for first place. The only girls field event remaining, the shot put, was won by Delton’s Sue Hogg giving Barry County a sweep in the field events. Shelley Bell, a Saxon distance runner wrapped up the firsts for Hastings with a 5:40 in the opt.i mile. The rest of the events were won by either first place Mason or second place Wyoming Park. None of the boys Barry County teams could manage a first in an event. Delton-Kellogg produced the best showing with 14 points and Lake wood had seven. The Hastings team did not score.

Sturgis was challenged by Mason with 47 points and Plainwell with 364. Area teams that fared well included Gull Lake with 35 points and Caledonia with 30. Senior righthander Dann Howitt per­ formed double duty for the Hastings Saxons Tuesday. First of all he knocked in three runs with three doubles, and then he pitched five in­ nings of shutout relief, pacing the Saxons to a 4-0 Twin Valley win over Jackson Northwest. Mark Larsen went the first two innings on the hill for the Saxons. He left because of a sore arm and Howitt came on to mop up. Each pitcher gave up just one hit. Howitt struck out five and walked three in his five inning stint. The Saxons started early on Jackosn pitcher Jamie Piper. Stu Spyker got on via an error and then Craig Mawer walked. Howitt came up and drilled his first double of the day driving in both runners and giving the Saxons a 2-0 advantage. The Saxons added another run in the third when Howitt knocked in Mawer with his second double, and added their final run in the fifth. Howitt’s three hits and a single by John Karpinski were the only Saxons safeties. The win lifts the Saxons to 4-2 overall.

The exhibitors will use their own version of the circus theme to construct a booth for displaying products for inside and outside of the home. The 1982 Home and Auto Show, sponsored by the Hastings Area Chamber of Com­ merce, offers some big prizes, extended show hours and some new exhibits. The annual event will take place in the Community Building, the Bicentennial Building and the surrounding outdoor areas on the fairgrounds. Show visitors will have new enticements for visit.ng the fairgrounds this weekend, a grand prize of a $500 gift certificate and a second prize of a $400 gift certificate to be given away at a drawing at 4:30 p.m., Sun­ day. Show participants are contributing money toward the prizes, which may be redeemed at any show exhibitor that is a member of the chamber. To accomodate as many visitors as possible, the doors will open five hours earlier this year — at noon on Friday. Complete show hours are: — Friday from noon to 9 p.m., — Saturday from noon to 9 p.m., — Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. A food concession will be operated throughout the show by members of the Barry County 4-H. Displays by merchants will include countless information brochures on products for the home and many booths will have factory representatives on hand to help explain the products in detail. The 1982 Home and Auto Show features furnishings, construction, entertainment, lawn and garden, security, decorator items and countless other products for your home from more than 50 exhibitors. All of the displays will be judged in one of three categories — home furnishings and appliances, institutional and retail firms, and hardware, lumber and construction Selections will be made by an anonymous panel of judges, who will award prizes to the top three displays in each category. A special attraction of the show will be the Consumers Power Co. energy van, full of energy conservation ideas. The energy-efficient model house in the exhibit shows you where to insulate and describes the different types of insulation you can use. You’ll learn about proper ventilation, the best types of windows and doors, electric heat pumps and the ways to make a fireplace more energy efficient. The model house also describes the most efficient light source to use. The van has an audiovisual diplay on new energy-efficient appliances that are being built today by manufacturers. It provides information on what features to look for when shopping for appliances. Also covered are ways to save hot water, including energy efficient water heaters and how to save money while showering, washing dishes and clothes and how a heat pump water heater works. In the van's solar capsule, you’ll learn how you might be able to put the sun to work in your home. You'll be able to see an actual wind turbine generate and how it operates. The energy van is heated and cooled by a solar-assisted heat pump system and you'll be able to see how this and other systems operate to reduce energy requirements.

By Elaine Gilbert Today’s "Mom” is.likely to be found in an office, behind a cash register, or in a classroom, as well as at home baking apple pies and doing housework. Sunday is the day set aside to remember Mothers everywhere. You can find one local woman filling the post of Barry County government’s chief attorney by day and answering to the name of "Mom” the rest of the time. County Prosecutor Judy Hughes is "Mom” to six-year-old Benjamin and three-year-old Jennifer. Judy has managed to blend motherhood with completing her education and building a career. Judy and husband, Ned, also an attorney, tied the knot in November of 1970 while she was a student at University of Michigan Their first child, a 10 ib. 1 oz. boy, was bom in February of 1976 while she was completing work toward a law degree at Wayne State University. Ben arrived during her last semester — two days before a scheduled week-long spring break so "1 just missed two classes," she says. After receiving her degree, she ac­ complished a goal she had set of finding a job immediately. Even before she took the State Bar Examination, Judy was selected out of a field of 83 applicants in Kalamazoo County for a position as a legal intern which evolved to the post of assistant prosecutor there. She describes her transition from student to career woman as difficult because it was compounded by a move from the Detroit area to the Kalamazoo area which necessiated finding suitable housing and a good sitter, becoming adjusting to a new job, plus studying for her bar exam. On top of all that, she had to make the initial move alone with Ben because Ned still had to finalize detai Is at his job in the Detroit area before he could get away. "Sis and Mom” came to the rescue, says Judy, to help take care of Ben. Judy served as assistant prosecutor in Kalamazoo for three and one-half years. When the Hughes muted to Barry County in 1980, the family had grown to include daughter Jennifer. Judy continued to work up until the day before Jenny was bom in 1978. A month vacation followed. Jenny's birth was an experience both Ned and Ben shared with Judy. In fact, Ned assisted the doctor with the delivery, 12 minutes after she entered Bronson Hospital's birthing room in Kalamazoo. “It was super,” says Judy. "It was an important bonding experience for all members of the family. Ben watched but, he doesn't remember it. But, he likes to hear us say he was there. It was an important ex­ perience for us as a family." A key to parenting, she believes, whether a working Mom or not, is the quality — not quantity — of lime spent with children. Despite carrying a heavy career load with a job that's more than an eight-hour per day occupation) Judy says she and Ned are "family oriented people ” They enjoy camping as a family activity and playing and working together outdoors. A good-sized garden plot in their backyard is the handiwork of all four, to varying degrees. Ben and Jenny both helped plant some of the early varieties of vegetables alreacy in place in their garden this spring Growing fruit is a special interest and the family has planted everything from rasp­ berry bushes to a young dwarf apricot tree. They’ve already enjoyed harvesting apples from mature trees in the yard to produce their own cider which they freeze for a yearround treat. Holidays find the Hughes surrounded by up to 40-50 people at times. "I like to have lots of family members and extended family members around," she says. A native of Indiana, Judy is the oldest of five children. Her mother went back to school when she was in the eighth grade and Judy says she became “Mother Hen” to her siblings. Since then, her mother earned a master’s degree and has logged 16 years as a teacher in South Bend. Judy credits having a supportive spouse as an important aspect in her situation as a working mother. "Ned’s not afraid to dig in and do the dishes, give the children baths and do other household chores. If he did not help as much, we probably would eat out more or have more scrambled eggs more than we "Iready do,” she laughs. Rarely do the Hughes eat their meals out, says Judy. A typical evening after work includes dinner home, time for the Hastings children to play and take baths, and storytime. Ben and Jenny love books and that means Ned and Judy read two to three books to each per night. Sometimes Ned and Judy take turns reading and other times its a joint activity. Whose story gets read first? Typical of most family sibling rivalries, no matter how carefully the situation is han­ dled, it seems that it's often disappointing to be the one who has to wait for a book tc be read. Judy says they usually "play games" which enable the children to determine who gets the first roll or the first book read. One game might be placing a button in one hand and asking the children which hand holds the button. The one who guesses correctly, is allowed to be first "That way we're relieved from choosing because we’ve left it up to them to determine whose story gets read first," she said. All in all, though, Judy laughs that she has no magic formula for sibling rivalry. With her job involving the handling of serious matters for county, one problem she says she has to deal with at home is to learn not to be so “caught up in thought processes that you ignore the kids or are short with them ..you've got to set work aside at some point." Work-related problem solving, can be handled mentally at home while you're doing the dishes or other tasks, she says. A top priority of being a working mother, she says is the selection of a sitter who is entrusted to care for the children for the bulk of their waking hours when they're young. She said she's driven extra miles just to have a good sitter rather than select one who is convenient. The type of person selected as the sitter will affect the kinds of habits that will become engrained in the children so she says it's important to have a sitter who will handle situations similar to the way you would yourself. Even in the best of circumstances, there still can be problems with "mixed signals" because not everyone handles situations the same. When a child has different signals from school, mom, the sitter, and even dad, “it makes it more confusing tor the child at home,” said Judy. “Andi think they do more testing to find out boundaries." It's helpful to let a child know you are communicating with his teacher and baby sitter about situations that happen, she says.

Board reverses decision County agrees to comply with increases in farm values The Barry County Board of Com­ missioners, meeting in special session last Thursday, voted 7-3 to comply with a state order to increase agricultural valuations by two percent. The vote reversed a previous decision April 27 to deny the state's request. Commissioners and County Equalization Director John Ainslie met with State Tax Commissioner Gene Hall to discuss the matter last Thursday. Board Chairman Kenneth Radant said the state tax com­ mission representative indicated that by every measure of studies they had con­ ducted. the money was going to have to come cut of Barry County. The possibility of an additional increase in farm valuations has been the subject of debate in recent weeks by many township supervisors, taxpayers, and sympathetic commissioners who stated that they felt taxes were already too high or were already in line with what they should be. Six townships in the county had previously met state equalization requirements by incorporating the additional two percent increase in agricultural valuations. If the county board had continued to refuse the increase, the state would have spread it across the-board to all townships. "For the townships which had already included two percent in their figures, it would have been unfair for them to get a double whammy " said Radant. Hall told the board that the six townships in compliance would not be further penalized. Commissioners James Gordon. Albert Bell, and Richard Landon voted against accepting the state-ordered increase last week. Radant said one of the dissenting commissioners had commented that his no vote was cast in respect to what he was hearing his township say. Delton to have free dumping An opportunity to get rid of trash "free of charge" is being offered to residents of Barry. Hope and Prairieville townships from 8 a m. to noon on Saturday, May 8. During that time, the landfill on Osborne Rd. will be open free of charge and a com­ pactor will be at Barry Township Hall on Orchard Street in Delton for those close to town. The "free” trash disposal day, sponsored by the Delton Area Chamber of Commerce, replaces the former annual chamber spring pick-up day. Senior Citizens or handicapped persons who need help with trash pick-up are welcome to call Pat Payne at 623-8807. before May 8. A political newcomer has announced he will be a candidate in the primary election race for a county board seat representing District 1, and two incumbent com­ missioners in other districts have announced their intentions to seek re-election. Steven L. Reid of 436 E. Bond St. in Hastings has announced that he will seek the Republican nomination in the August 3 primary for a District 1 seat. The district encompasses the city of Hastings and a portion of Hastings Township in accordance with the newly adopted county ap­ portionment plan. Carolyn Coleman, a former county com­ missioner, previously announced that she will he a Republican candidate for the District 1 seat too. She announced her can­ didacy when the current commissioners representing Hastings, Kenneth Radant and Richard Sunior, decided not to seek re­ election. Incumbents James Gordon and Paul Kiel, both Democrats, announced today that they will seek election to the county board again. Gordon, a second term county commissioner from Middleville who represents Thornapple Township, will seek the District 2 seat which the new apportionment* plan outlines as both Thornapple and Yankee Springs townships. Kiel of Shelbyville, a second term com­ missioner who currently represents Orangeville and Yankee Springs townships, will seek the District 6 county board seat. The new apportionment plan designates District 6 to include most of Orangeville Township and all of Hope and Baltimore townships. Reid, in announcing his candidacy in District 1, said, “I look to the constituency to make their decision based on whether they have been satisfied with past ad­ ministrations, and, reflecting on my background, on my potential for the future. "With the recent reorganization of the county commission' from 11 to seven members, it is of utmost importance that my constituency know their voice will be heard and reflected at commission meetings. My candidacy gives the people a choice of representatives which people haven’t had in a number of years,” he said. One of the top ten students in his graduating class of 1969 at Hastings High School, Reid earned a bachelor's of arts degree in sociology at Southern California College where he graduated summa cum laude in 1973. He served as president of both his junior and senior classes in college. Reid married the former Joyce Schick of Wilmington. California in 1974. He was a fifth grade teacher at Wilmington Christian School in that city from 1975-78. Reid worked on the staff at Faith Tech Bible School in Scottville where he received his ministerial license before returning to Hastings in 1979. From that year until 1981, he worked in the county grants office, assisting in the Community Development Block Grant program in the Nashville area. He also has worked as a part-time reporter for the Hastings Banner and as a regional correspondent for the Battle Creek Enquirer and New^. Reid was instrumental in organizing the Gospel Sings featured the last two years during Hastings’ annual August Summerfest celebration. For the past two and one-half years, he has been serving as part-time pastor of Peace United Methodist Church near Nashville and Quimby United Methodist Church near Hastings. Reid was honored April 26 by the Hastings Jaycees as the area's "Outstanding Religious Leader” for his work with the community as well as his churches. Gordon was first elected to the county board of commissioners in 1978 by a narrow 50-vote margin, but ran unopposed for the seat in 1980. He had previously served on the Thor­ napple Township Planning Commission and, later, as a trustee on the Middleville Village Council. In announcing his decision to seek a third term, Gordon said, "The challenges now facing local governments, gives me strong incentive to continue to serve at the county level. The “new federalism,"'as it may evolve, will certainly impact in two areas. Steven L. Reid James Gordon “First, it appears there will be an em­ phasis for more critical decisions at local levels of government, with citizens required to examine the various services they need and want and forced to determine the methods and sources for financing these services,” he said. Secondly, Gordon continued, there will be a greater responsibility placed on local and appointed officials to carry-out programs and services effectively and efficiently. “More and more, local officials will be visible to their constituents, as the the 'impact of services are brought home.’ As Paul Kiel the "new federalism" concepts place responsibility at the local level, it will no longer be an easy ‘out’ to fix all blame on the state and national level for our myriad social and economic problems. Rather, we will be increasingly responsible for governmentalpolitical-fiscal-social destinies locally," he said.' With the possibility of greater local responsibility, Gordon says the words "accountability and capability may well be the watch-words for voters and officials under the challenges of the evolving new federalism.” Drivers ed plans will need revision by Ken Reibel A plan to offer one driver education class to only thirty students this summer will need to be revised before the end of the 1982—83 fiscal year. A provision of the Michigan General School Law specifies that public school districts "shall make drivers education available for every eligible youth of the school district." But Hastings school officials say they will still go ahead with plans to offer one class to a limited number of eligible students this summer. Richard Guenther, superintendent of schools, says he has been assured by the Michigan Department of Education that the district will have until the end of the next fiscal year to comply Michigan School Law further specifies that driver education "shall be made available to all eligible students under 18 years of age within such time as will enable such persons to qualify for a drivers license." And in a formal opinion of the state at­ torney general, the class must be made available to all eligible youth prior to their 16th birthday. Revision of the drivers education curriculum will most likely come in the form of "competency based instruction," ac­ cording to Robert VanderVeen. Hastings High principal. In the past, the state has mandated 30 classroom hours and six hours behind the wheel for students to pass drivers education requirements. By “comping out”, students will be able to take a pre-test before those hours are completed, thus making it possible to be licensed with less than required classroom and range time. The procedure is authorized by the state. Competancy based instruction will help ease the cost of putting approximately 250 Hastings students through drivers education each year, says VanderVeen. He adds, however, that-the particulars of the program still need to be worked out, and probably won’t be ready for summer instruction. VanderVeen says he does not know how many students will be eligible for driver education this summer. Richard Claflin, consultant in the Driver and Safety Education Division of the Michigan Department of Education, says state law is "clear and precise" in man­ dating driver education for students, but at the same time there is no penalty if a district refuses to comply. Claflin says the only legal recourse for noncompliance is a writ of mandamus brought against a school district. Then a court would have the authority to reinstate the program if the district further refuses to comply. Competency based instruction, as being looked into by Hasti.ngs schools, is app. oved by the state, and is only one of many ways school districts can trim driver education budgets, acco-ding to Claflin.

Constant pressure is needed to prevent the roadbed from buckling up as road crews straighten a tricky curve. Road commission keeps our county “rolling along” by Ken Reibel They are the folks behind the scenes. In the winter they come to our rescue, clearing mounds of snow and ice from o ir byways. In the summer, we slow down and respectly drive around their massive bulldozers and dirt-caked trucks as they dig a trench or fix a curve. Bui to the men of the Barry County Road Commission, it’s all in a day’s work. As custodians to 1,085 miles of county roads, they are accustomed to everything from clearing snow to filling potholes to repairing bridges. Ron Lear, the department’s soft-spoken, hard working engineer-manager, says the biggest challenge to his department is, predictably, “trying to survive on the budget”. That budget runs at just over $2 million, says Lear. It's expensive work, and a seemingly simple task can run to the tens of thousands of dollars. The commission is currently resurfacing the four miles of Assyria road between M-66 and M-79, perhaps the year’s most expensive project, at $240,000. And the surprise snowstorm in early April cost an extra $40,000 in fuel and overtime pay. It took a special allocation from the county board to make it up. Ron Lear grew up in Mulliken in Eaton County. He attended Grand Ledge High School, and the University of Michigan where he earned .a degree in civil engineering. Six years in California followed, working for the bridge division of that state's highway department. In 1968, Lear came back to his native Michigan. “I was using up all my vacation time to come back and see my relatives,” says Lear. He went to work for Clinton County as an assistant engineer for one year, then on to Lenawee County as an engineer Finally, he came to Barry County in September 1979 where he assumed his present duties of engineer-manager. The commission currently employs 42 persons as mechanics, supervisors, secretaries, dispatchers, drivers and heavy equipment operators. One employee is retiring in July. Because of a tight budget, he is not expected to be replaced. Lear says most of the commission’s jobs come from recommendations made by his department to townships. A few projects are selected by townships by way of complaints made by citizens to townships. Lear says Barry County does not ex­ perience the same problems as counties with larger populations, with their county-wide traffic signals and four-lane roads. But the challenge is still there. Local nurses to celebrate Michigan Nurse Week “Nursing Does Make a Difference" is the theme for Michigan Nurse Week, May 2-8. The nurses at Provincial House in Hastings do make a difference, says Administrator Joyce Weinbrecht. "Their expertise in geriatric nursing combined with their compass on help meet the needs of the residents at Provincial House,” located at 240 E. North St., Hastings. Because most of the patients at a long­ term care facility are older, they have illnesses characteristic of their age group and are also dealing with the aging process itself. That’s how geriatric nurses can-make a difference, Mrs. Weinbrecht said. "They are trained to handle residents' physical needs as well as their emotional needs. Besides carrying out physician's orders, the nurse might extend a listening ear or a hug and a smile to a resident who is feeling a bit lonely. Not just anyone is suited for geriatric Hastings nursing, Mrs. Weinbrecht said. "It takes a special individual with lots of love and patience. Nursing home residents need more attention than other patients and they often take longer to do things. Therefore, a geriatric nurse must be someone who is understanding and patient.” Along with the job comes many rewards, the administrator added. "Sometimes the rewards are as small as a smile or a hug from a resident but they are worth a thousand words." During Michigan Nurse Week, the residents and other staff members at Provincial House will honor their nurses with a special tea in their honor, as well as other events. . Michigan Nurse Week is sponsored by the Michigan Nurses Association and supported by Beverly Enterprises, a national health care company that owns and operates Provincial House in Hastings.

To The Editor: The Banner did a service for the Hastings School District by getting some of the facts out in the open. Middleville is next to have a millage in­ crease. They added their new millage request right on top of renewal. They are asking for approval of 12 mills instead of separate requests for the renewal of eight­ mills and four new mills. The average salary for Middleville teachers is $20,196. That isn’t too bad for nine months work with a healthy retirement fund in the future all paid for by the taxpayers. To top it all, there is a fully paid medical, dental, life, and long term disability in­ surance. The average salary for Hastings teachers is $21,948. In comparing salaries, Wayland teachers average less than $18,000. Take the $2,000. difference multiplied by the number of teachers involved in Middleville and that amounts to a good sum of money. Get rid of a few excess administration people and you are talking some real money. Yes, there are school districts nearby that average in the $16,000 bracket also. I would like to see Middleville answer some money questions from a Banner reporter. Sincerely Donald Johnson (EDITOR’S NOTE: The salary figures Mr. Johnson mentions are those listed In a State Board of Education computer printout of teacher's salaries for the 1980-81 school year). To the Editor: It is interesting to observe how the collectors of tax — loot attribute a base motive to each of us who voted "NO". Mv own reason was a selfish one, and I admit it without contrition. I do not like to pay 13 percent of my income for the privilege of living on my own property. That, along with over 20 percent to keep Reagan, Haig, Weinberger and their defense contractor friends playing with their MX missiles, is more government than I want or need. I am greedy and selfish because I want to keep my own home and my own money. I do not feel an obligation to those who produce children faster than they produce income. I am not a signatory to the teacher's contract, and I do not believe it should be upheld at my expense withr>ut my consent. My chosen responsibilities outweigh any responsibilites forcibly imposed on me by any level of government, and my vote will always reflect this. I cannot afford to feed, cloth, shelter, and educate the offspring of every irresponsible savage in Barry County. That is a simple fact, and if it’s treason, make the most of it. Sincerely, Frederick G. Schantz An elderly couple walked away from a local nursing home 'Tuesday, stole an em­ ployee car, and drove it 50 miles before running out of gas, according to Hastings police. Gordon Trick, deputy chief of police, says no warrants are being sought against a 73year-old woman and a 65-year-old man, both residents of Provincial House in Hastings. Police received a call from Bev Daniels of Provincial House Monday night saying that two people had driven off in a 1974 four-door Plymouth belonging to Toni Mosteller, an employee of the home. Mosteller says her car keys were taken from the nursing home break room. Police put out an alert for the pair, which described them as not armed and not con­ sidered dangerous but probably “very senile”. They were found nearly eight hours later near Gobles, where they had abandoned the car in someone's driveway after running out of gas. Another area car theft did bring a warrant against a Woodland man. Terry Joe Leavell, 20,124 E. Franklin St., was arraigned Wednesday on one count of felony vehicle theft Police say they stopped Leavell early Wednesday morning when the brown Old­ smobile he was driving turned the wrong way down Apple St. The car, say police, was stolen earlier that night from Woodland Shell, 105 Main St., and is registered to Efrain and Jo Colon. 801 Jordan Lake Ave. Leavell is currently lodged in the Barry County Jail. A $2,500 personal recognizance bond has been set. James Kenneth Weller, 33. of 1110 S. Park St., was ticketed for operating a motor vehicle under the influence of liquor after the vehicle he was driving rolled over or the 1600 block of Hanover St. Sunday night, May 2, say Hastings police. Weller was held overnight in the Barry County Jail, and released in the morning on $100 bond.

State Police from the Hastings team are investigating the May 1 malicious destruction of property at a rest area on M66. Vandals uprooted trees, placing one in the women's lavatory, broke the handle on a water pump, and tipped over picnic tables, according to Sgt. Richard Zimmerman. Damage is estimated at $250. Two hubcaps worth approximately $150 were reported stolen Monday morning off a vehicle parked at the Gua Lake Inn, Pattcrsor Rd. in Wayland.

After a particularly dismal showing in the exhibition season, the Detroit Tigers are coming on strong, and seem to be a serious contender for first place in the American Leage East. Do you think the Tigers are serious contenders for the pennant this year? The World Series? Do you plan on attending a Tiger game this year? To the Editor: At the close of another Jaycee year, I would like to take the time to thank you and everyr-<e on yoir staff for the outstanding coverage you have given the Hastings Jaycees this year. It is the community dedication shown by everyone at the Reminder - Banner which has helped to make this past Jaycee year not only one of the most publicized but successful years on record.

The people interviewed this week were more agreeable to talk about the Tigers than they were about, say, state district reap­ portionment, or nuclear arms. And some respondents wouldn’t stop talking. Because, you see, everybody loves a winner, and that the Tigers are doing. plan on going to Detroit for a game? You betcha! Jean McNab says the Tigers "have a fair shot," this year. She adds "I’d like to see them go to the World Series like they did in •68," and that she would like to go to Detroit to see them play. "I don’t think they’ll go to the world series," says Phillip Patrick of Hastings, "but they might have a good chance at the pennant.” Patrick says the Tiger’s strength is in their running, but team pitching is weak. As far as travelling to Detroit for a game or two, Patrick says that is very possible. “I think they’re better than they were last year,” says Chuck Champion of Hastings. "So far, they’re doing pretty well, and 1 think they have a shot at the world series." Champion says the Tigers have a lot of power hitters, namely Kirk Gibson, Chet Lemon, and Lance Parrish. Will Champion go to Detroit fora game this year? "No, I doubt it. I can't get my parents to go," says Cham­ pion. Linda Tobias, a graduating Hastings High School senior, thinks Detroit has a very good chance at the pennant and a world cham­ pionship, would like to go to Detroit for a game, and says her favorite player is Kirk Gibson "who is most girl’s favorite." James Kampen, visiting from Kalamazoo, doesn’t think the Tigers have a chance, and cites lots of reasons. “They have a lazy catcher, they haven’t got enough first basemen, not enough second basemen who can hit, and the shortstop is lacking." He calls the Tigers a fifth-place ball club, and manager Sparky Anderson a fifth-place manager. Kampen says it Is more likely he will travel to Chicago to see the White Sox. Another great Tiger fan is Gordon Trick. Hastings deputy chief of police. "I'm a great Tiger fan," says Trick. "I listen to all the ballgames. They have a good chance of taking it if they get the pitching." Trick says the Tigers have "one of the greatest double­ play combinations in the business, and one of the greatest outfields in the business, too.” He says that as soon as the team overcomes Frank Salizar of Hastings says he's been a fan of the Tiger's "for about 50 years.” He thinks the Tigers will do just fine this year, but that the team’s pitching is a little weak. However, says Salizars, the Tiger infield is holding up just fine, as is the hitting. Does he some injuries, they'll "be a tough team to beat." Lincoln Miller says “They have the best chance in the world this year", and proceeds to give a rundown of the entire team roster: "They have Enos Cabell, who's hitting .407, and if Rick Leach gets off the disabled list, he’ll do really well. I think that their relief pitchers are doing well this year, and if they can get another starting pitcher they'll do better. Maybe they should trade an out­ fielder for a starting pitcher. "Kirk Gibson has to get his act together. Chet Lemon is one of the all-stars they picked up this year. There’s Larry Herndon. They have a heck of an outfield this year, the best in the American league. And they're a good hitting outfield, too. They haven’t showed their power yet this year, but 1 think they have more power than they did last year. Larry Herndon has just as much power as Steve Kemp, and Steve Kemp isn't hitting t'at many home runs this year for Chicago. Larry Herndon is a better outfielder than Steve Kemp. I think it was a good trade to get him. "Mark DeJohn can play anyplace at in­ field. and should have made the team at the opening of the season. John Wockenfuss, they should get him behind the plate more often. They should trade Lance Parrish for a good pitcher. A lot of teams would like to have Parrish...' �The Hastings Banner, Thursday, May 6,1982 - Page 3 Hastings Elks observing Youth Week Hastings senior wins Elks National Scholarship Amy Krammin, a senior at Hastings High School, is the first Elks National Scholarship winner ever in Hastings, John Cahoon, exalted ruler of the local lodge announced this week.

Hastings High School reading specialists program on market Don Phillips, Hastings High School reading specialist, has created a computer program designed to teach students how to become independent and efficient readers. This month Phillips' Reading Efficiency System goes on the market for educational materials dealers throughout the United States. Computer Assisted Instruction, Inc. of Grand Rapids contacted Phillips in April of last year; he began writing the program then and finished it in the fall of 1981. Phillips* program is divided into two sections; comprehension and vocabulary. “The vocabulary program," Phillips said, “is designed to expand the student’s word knowledge. The comprehension program is designed to teach the student how to un­ derstand and remember what he reads.” Each section consists of placement tests, pre- and post-tests, instructional lessons, practice lessons, and quizes. The system is designed to serve grade levels six through the second year of college. Bruce Colvin, Hastings, 2S, and Linda Rose. Hastings, 23.

He originally devised the technique to use with speed reading students, then modified it for general use. Mrs. Claretta Phillips, counselor in the Hastings school system, assisted her son with the vocabulary section of the program. “Computer instruction provides in­ dividualized instruction with immediate feedback!” Phillips said. “This allows the instructor to spend more time with in­ dividuals who need extra help." Phillips, who has a master's degree in reading from Grand Valley State Colleges, has taught reading lab at Hastings High School since 1970. He has been named program coordinator for the Computer Assisted Instruction, Inc. and is currently working on a companion pregram for grade levels three, four, and five to be completed in the fall of 1982.

Logan noted that Reahm has been nominated as a volunteer leader for one of ten awards given in the slate during Michigan Week.

He also notes that overall management of county government is no small task, em­ bracing a large number of services, a basic budget of $4 million and a central staff of more than 165 persons. Gordon states that "experienced, dedicated, and positive-thinking persons” are required to have an effective, efficient, and responsible county government. "The progressive members of the board of commissioners have made important ad­ vances for- the good operation and management of our county government services; building, as they have, on similar good work that went on before. It is of great personal concern to me that the new board continue this progressive attitude. I wish very much to be a part of that process,” Gordon said. He has served as finance chairman in each of his four years on the county board. His duties also have included serving as the chairman of the Barry-Eaton District Health Board, chairman of the county development committee, secretary to the county Economic Development Corporation, and chairman of the Southcentral Michigan Planning Council Gordon, who resides at 704 W. Main St., is a 1960 graduate of Thornapple-Kellogg High School and a 1965 graduate of Drake University. He attended Drake University Law School and the Detroit college of Law. His vocations have included teaching, real estate, and banking. Kiel, in making a bid for a third term, says he has .the time and experience he feels are needed to make a contribution to the board. "I’m retired and have the time and with only seven commissioners (instead of eleven to be elected) there’s going to be more work — that’s for sure," he said. Kiel says his past work record and career experie nce go hand-in-hand with Lie duties he has performed as a county commissioner. "Helping people, that was my life’s work, and I’m still interested in it." • Prior to serving on the county board, he was involved for 40 years in various types of union business and served as an ad­ ministrative assistant with the United Auto Workers in Detroit for 15 years. He describes his duties with the UAW as numerous and complicated, including collective bargaining, getting legislative bills passed on both national and state levels that would benefit the working people, the elderly, the sick, the farmers, etc. “I helped workers get justice who had been taken unfair advantage of.” As a commissioner, he has been been active in negotiating county labor contracts. Kiel is a former chap’.er president of the Grand Rapids Credit Union, covering all of western Michigan. He also served as a director of the Michigan Credit Union League and was on the Occupational Safety Standards Commission for the state of Michigan. Kiel is currently vice chairman of the county board of commissioners. He also is chairman of the board's personnel com­ mittee, chairman of the DPW committee, chairman of the county Commission on Aging board, and treasurer of the South­ centra) COA board. He and his wife, Helen, reside at 4327 Harmony Dr. They have six children and eight grandchildren. Michigan's Energy Costs . . . Lower than most large U.S. cities A recent survey has discovered some reassuring news for Michigan residents beleaguer^ by rising energy costs. Few areas of the United States have escaped the sting that inflation and natural gas deregulation have dealt heating and electric bills. But the survey indicates that many Michigan residents have been hit less hard than persons living in other parts of the country. The survey studied electric and gas bills in America’s 25 largest cities. On separate lists, the survey ranked gas and electric service in the cities from cheapest to most expensive. Only two cities--Memphis and Indianapolis-showed up among the cheapest cities for both gas and electric service. Not even Sunbelt cities like Houston. Phoenix and NewOrleans could make that claim. The bills were based on consumption of 500 kilow-atthours of electicity and 100 ccf of gas. How does Michigan stack up? Consumers Power Company com­ pared its bills for identical con­ sumption with bills in America’s 25 largest cities. The result the com­ pany's bills, "like those in Memphis and Indianapolis, are among the cheapest for both gas and electric service. The comparison shows that the , company’s customers are paving less for comparable usage than residents in many other parts of the country. The survey comes at a time when growing concern about energy prices has turned things like insu­ lation. weatherstripping and home energy analysis into household words. The nation has been buffeted by an inflation rate that has pushed the Consumer Price Index up 135 percent since 1970. Prices have escalated for almost everything including clothing, food, homes, electricity and heating fuels. In fact, it would take $2.34 today to match SI worth of 1970 buying power. Consumers Power Company's electric rates have increased more slowly than the Consumer Price Index. Still. inflation has taken a heavy toll For example, a typical residential electric customer of Consumers Power Company using 500 kilowatthours. paid an average of SI 2.12 a month in 1970. Any electric customer can tell you he is paying much more than that in 1982 dollars. Restating today s bill in 1970 dollars shows the reason is inflation. If inflation could be eliminated, under our current rate structure an average monthly electric bill for 500 kilowatthours would only be S12.50 or SI 1.37 today, depending on the customer’s lifeline rate. Without inflation, the price of electricity has remained virtually unchanged for the last 12 years.

The New Baltimore-Anchor Bay baseball team from the eastern side of the state captured the fifth annual Maple Valley In­ vitational by winning three straight games Saturday. They pulled off a come back in the opening round to beat Maple Valley 6-4, squeaked by Charlotte 2-1 in the semi-finals and then pounded lumps on Eaton Rapids 10-1 in the finals to take home the trophy. Eight teams battled on the Vermontville and Hastings baseball fields to decide the winner. The host Lions lost in the opening round and in the consolation round. Hastings advanced to the semifinals with a 5-2 win over Ionia in the morning, but dropped out at the hands of Eaton Rapids 7-4 in the af­ ternoon. “It was a great tournament, not only because the weather was good, but there were some good ball games played,” Maple Valley coach and athletic director Larry Lenz said. "Everything ran smoothly " In the first two games played Saturday, Eaton Rapids opened with an 11-4 drubbing of defending tournament champion Olivet, and Hastings fashioned their 5-2 win over Olivet. In the second set of opening games Anchor Bay beat the host Lions 6-4, and Charlotte advanced with a 9-1 stop of Bellevue. Tn the semifinal round Eaton Rapids ad­ vanced with their 7-4 win uver Hastings and Anchor Bay moved on after getting by Charlotte 2-1. In consolation games Bellevue handled the Lions 11-5 and Ionia dumped Olivet 8-4. It was all Anchor Bay in the 10-1 final. “I think Eaton Rapids just ran out of pitchers,” Lenz said. "That Anchor Bay team is very tough too. They hit and run, run the squeeze and play exciting baseball.” Hastings used a "double squeeze" to help take their opening game against Ionia. With runners on second and third in the fifth inning Mark Larsen laid down a squeeze bunt. When Ionia tossed to first to get the out, John Karpinski the runner that started at second base, rounded third and scampered in before a return throw to the plate. Pitcher Gary Rosenberger who went the distance striking out seven, gave up two runs on two walks, a passed ball and an error in the first inning, but held Ionia scoreless the rest of the way. Larsen keyed the attack collecting two runs batted in on the double squeeze and another with a sacrifice fly. Dann Howitt had a pair of doubles and Bruce Meyers collected two singles. In the semifinal loss to Eaton Rapids, Larsen started on the hill for the Saxons but left after three innings because of a sore arm. Dann Howitt finished out in relief. Eaton Rapids used a five run fourth inning to key their win. Doubles by Eric Shaefer, Karpinski and Howitt, keyed Saxon scoring. The host Lions were beating the Class A visiting Anchor Bav team 4-6 at the end of three innings in their opening game. But two runs in the fourth by Anchor Bay, and a two run homer by Paul Tremlin in the fifth put Anchoi Bay in the lead to stay. The Lions took a lead in ,the second inning when Jeff Starring knocked in Randy Joostberns with a sacrifice fly. The added three more in the third inning when Joost­ berns singled in two runners, and an error produced another. But after Tremlin hit his homer with two out and an 0-2 count against him, the rest of the Lion day was down hill. Walt ^laurer was the losing pitcher in the game. Coach Lenz called the consolation game with Bellevue a "complete disaster". The Lions once again jumped to an early 30 lead, but Bellevue tallied six runs in the third and rolled on to victory. The Lions used four pitchers in the game. The weekend action left the Lions at * 5 overa.l and 3-1 in the TCAA. The Saxons are now 5-3 overall and 3-1 in the Twin Valley. Saxon thinclads split The Hastings boys track team split their two Twin Valley meets, rolling past Albion 115-26, and losing to Hillsdale 91-41. In the meet with Albion the Saxons swept first through third in six events building a mountain of points Albion could not over­ come.

Also announcing bids this week for commissioner seats are a former Hastings mayor and a former county commissioner. Bernard Hammond, a former Hastings Police Chief and former Undersheriff in the county, will seek election to District Three which will comprise Rutland and Irving townships and most of Hastings Township. Another former police chief, Richard Sunior, will be steping down from the board at the end of this year. Benjamin C. (“Ping") Beckwith, former Hastings mayor, and Emmet E. Herrington, former county commissioner announced that they will be seeking seats on the county board in their respective districts. Hammond, of 1300 Hammond Rd., is making his first bid for etective office, seeking the Democratic nomination in the August primary as a candidate from district three. Incumbent Paul Richard Dean, a Republican, has not yet filed a nominating petition for the primary. (The deadline for filing is 4 p.m. June 1.) Hammond, who is retired after serving as a state employee for 27 years, says he decided to run because “I feel I have a lot of experience that I could put to work...I'm ready for some new challenges." His law enforcement background includes serving as a Hastings policeman for a short time in 1946, county Undersheriff from 194751 (serving under Sheriff Leon "Tiny” Doster), and as Hastings Police Chief for 14 years. As an employee of the Michigan Depart­ ment of Slate, he was a supervisor in the unit for the issuance of drivers’ licenses and was involved in hearings on problem drivers He also was deputy director of the Safety En­ forcement Division, office manager of the Bureau of Automotive Regulations and worked in the Bureau of Automotive Management, support division. Hammond notes that the new ap­ Vol. 127, No. 19 portionment plan makes commissioner districts larger than in the past and said he welcomes the challenge of representing a larger territory and feels he has the ex­ perience to handle the interests of rural, lake, and city areas in the district he's hoping to represent. "In bad economic times, government needs more expertise now than it did several years back." Hammond said. "You have to start at the grass roots to preserve tax dolars..." Beckwith, who resides at 1950 N. Broad­ way, will be a candidate for the Democratic nomination for the District 1 county board seat in the August primary. The district Thursday, May 13,1982 Hastings, Michigan Guenther will recommend teachers and secretaries be asked to open contracts by Greg Johnson The Hastings Education Association (HEA) and secretaries will be asked to re­ open their master contract agreements to discuss wage and fringe benefit concessions for the next fiscal year, if the Board of Education passes a recommendation made by Richard J. Guenther, superintendent of the Hastings Area Schools. That recommendation and 18 others that deal with contracts, class size ratios, athletics, teacher lay-offs, graduation and regular business, are included on the agenda for the Monday, May 17, meeting of the board. The meeting will be in Pleasantview School at 7:30 p.m. Guenther will also tell the board Monday that they should decide whether to place a millage issue on the ballot in the near future. In order to get an issue on the ballot for the open dales of June 14, and July 6, the board must make a decision at Monday’s meeting. It will be the second meeting of the board since a 5.3 mill tax increase was defeated 2,702 votes to 1,073, in late April, with the largest voter turnout ever for a millage question in Hastings. In addition to the contract related recommendations dealing with teachers (HEA) and secretaries, Guenther will recommend that the board instruct their negotiating committee to notify the Custodial-Maintenance Unit, Food Service and Pus Driver’s Association that the board is seeking acceptance of wage and fringe freezes for the next fiscal year. Guenther will also recommend that the board notify all administrators, supervisors and non-union secretaries that they will be on a wage freeze for fiscal 1982-83, He will also ask the board to issue Robert C. Miller a two year contract as ad­ ministrative assistant for non-instruction. The first year, 1982-83, he will be on a wage freeze. During the six month period he serves as acting superintendent of schools (January 1, 1983 through June 30, 1983), he will be compensated an extra $250 per month. The salary the second year, 1983-84, will be left open for future decision. Guenther has two mam reasons for asking the board to ask the HEA and secretaries Io re-open their contracts. Miller told The Banner. Wednesday. “I think maybe the community told us to ask them with the millage vote, don’t you?" Miiler revealed as reason number one. “The other reason is the economy. It has certainly changed from a year ago when the contract was negotiated." The HEA had a meeting Tuesday, and has scheduled a meeting for tonight (Thursday). Peter DeDecker, HEA vice-president, said tonight s meeting will be a discussion session. The HEA is expected to hold a secret ballot election in each building on Friday. DeDecker said that vote is not related to the board's expected request to open the con­ tract for wage and fringe benefit con­ cessions, but said it was too early to com­ ment on the subject of the secret ballot. Administration officials also would not comment on other contract issues A total of 394 positions will be cut if the board acts on Guenther's student to teacher ratio recommendations and reductions in programs. He will recommend that 104 teacher positions be cut in grades kindergarten through sixth grade, making the student to teacher ratio 30 to 1 in kindergarten through the third grade, and 32 to 1 in the fourth grade through the sixth grade. In addition, he will recommend that four teacher positions be cut in grades seven and eight, and nine positions be cut from grades nine through 12. The student to teacher ratios for those grades would then be 32 to 1. Guenther will recommend the following program reductions: — Reduce special education in areas of emotionally impaired and learning disabled, resulting in the cut of two employee positions. — Eliminate all counseling services resulting in the cut of five counselors and one secretary. — Eliminate all library services resulting in the cut of one librarian and one secretary. — Eliminate the school nurse resulting in the cut of one employee. — No! replace four custodians and one groundskeeper upon retirement. As a result of program cuts the curriculum would include a five hour* day without art, study hall or electives. The athletic program will resemble the program of 1980-81 if Guenther’s recom­ mendations are accepted. This year a major fund drive by boosters and gate receipts funded a full athletic program. In 1980-81 only certain sports were funded out of gate receipts and each team held its own fund drives, Miller said. Guenther will recommend that athletics be supported by gate receipts and volunteer Junds. Gate receipts will fund basketball (girls) and football (boys) in the fall term, volleyball (girls) and basketball (boys) in the winter term, and track (girls and boys) in the spring. Track however, will only be offered if funds from fall and winter sports cover costs. represents the city of Hastings and a small part of Hastings Township. Republicans Carolyn Coleman and Steven Reid are seeking their party's nomination from that district. Beckwith, also retired, says he has "sufficient time to serve the people as commissioner" and feels his previous ex­ perience in city and county government would be an asset on the county board. He was the mayor of Hastings for 94years, from April of 1962 until September of 1971 when he moved out of the city limits. Before that. Beckwith was Hastings City Clerk from 1946-56 followed by two years as a Hastings City Councilman from the fourth ward. Beckwith served six years on the Barry County Board of Supervisors, including one year as its chairman. "I enjoyed it (being an elected official) when 1 was involved before and I'd like to get back into it because I feel I have something to offer. I can give full time to the job and I’d like to serve the people," sa'd Beckwith. He retired last year from the National Bank of Hastings where he had been an employee for 25 years. He was a vice president and cashier for several years during his tenure there. Herrington, a Republican, served on the county commission from 1978-80, representing Assyria and Johnstown townships. Because of the new county ap­ portionment plan, he is seeking election in District five which includes not only Assyria and Johnstown, but also Maple Grove Township and a tiny portion of Castleton Township. Herrington chose not to seek reelection when his term ended in 1980. He said he decided to run again because “an op­ portunity exists to chart an improved course for county government during the next two years" with the reduction of the number of commissioners from 11 to seven members in accordance with the new apportionment map. "The action taken by the next commission will have either a positive or negative effect on county affairs for several years to come. Experience in both management and ad­ ministrative matters will be needed to provide guidance in county affairs as we seek belter ways of doing things. “I have more than 30 years of responsible experience in these areas and would be willing to again serve as a commissioner for the next two years,” Herrington said. Continued on page 8 City council says no...well, maybe yes, finally...no on millage resolution The Hastings City Council, Monday, turned down a 'Vuth-in-taxation” millage resolution, 6-2, then recinded its action and approved the resolution, 5-3. The resolution sets a public hearing for the council's move to levy 16.2 mills, the maximum allowed by charter. Last year the levy was 15.68 mills. After the first vote. Michael Payne, city assessor, said that if the members failed to adopt the resolution, they would only be able to raise the same amount of money, not millage, as last year. Without the resolution and public hearing, the maximum millage would drop from last year's rate to 15.5582, Payne said. “All you are doing by adopting the resolution is allowing yourselves to have a public hearing," he said. “If you have the public hearing, then you have to wait six days to adopt the millage increase." Councilman David Jasperse (Fourth Ward) said he would support putting the millage increase up to a public hearing. County Democrats to host Levin, Wolpe here Saturday United States Senator Carl Levin and Howard Wolpe, third district U.S. congressman, will be featured here at the 10th annual Truman-Johnson dinner Saturday, May 15. Wolpe will deliver the keynote address at the dinner, to be held al the Emmanuel Episcopal Parish House in Hastings. State Senator Stephen Monsma, a can­ didate for the fifth district seat to the U.S. House of Representatives, will also attend, as well as three Democratic candidates for governor, or their representatives, ac­ cording to Sue Alexander, chairperson of the event. Alexander says both Levin and U.S. Senator Donald Reigle were invited here, and called Levin's acceptance a surprise. Levin, 47, was born in Detroit and attended public schools there. He graduated from Swarthmore College in 1956 and Harvard Law School in 1959. After practicing law privately for five years, he was appointed assistant attorney general for Michigan and general council for the Civil Rights Com­ mission. In 1968 and 1969, he was a special assistant attorney general of Michigan and chief appellate attorney for the Defender’s Office of Legal Aid and Defender Association •of Detroit. In 1969. Levin was elected to the Detroit City Council, and was re-elected as council president four years later. In 1978, his term expired, and he joined a Detroit law firm. In November of that year, he was elected to the United States Senate. He is presently a member of the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee and is chairman of its Oversight of Government Management Subcommittee. He is a member of two other Government Affairs U.S. Senator Carl Levin subcommittees, governmental efficiency in the District of Columbia and Energy. Nuclear Proliferation and Federal Sen-ices. In addition, he is a member of the Senate Armed Sen ices Committee, and the Senate Select Committee on Small Business. Levin and his wife, Barbara, were married in 1961. They have three daughters, Kate, Laura and Erica. The family maintains residences in downtown Detroit and in Washington. D C. “In the past," Jasperse said, “when the (assessed) valuation went up, we got the money anyhow. Now we have to tell the public that we’re going to do this." Councilman Gordon Bennett (Second Ward) noted, however, that by presenting the resolution, the Finance Committee .was saying that they had to have the extra millage for the 1983 budget, which hasn’t been looked at by the council yet. On the first vole, only Mary Spackman and Patrick Vaughan, both First Ward council members, voted for the resolution. On the second vote, they were joined by Jasperse, William Cook (Fourth Ward), and Gordon Fuhr (Third Ward). Bennett, Mary Lou Gray (Third Ward) and William Cusack (Second Ward) voted against the resolution. In other action at the meeting, the council recinded a transfer of funds from the unappropriated surplus to appropriated surplus accounts which had oeen approved al the previous meeting. $100,000 had been approved for water improvements, $50,000 for streets and $200,000 for park develop­ ments. "We did not take into consideration some funds that have to be transferred at the year end,” Spackman, Finance Committee chairman, said. Two letters were read supporting the closing of Country Club Dr. One from the Hastings Country Club cited reduced van­ dalism, elimination of maintenance costs for the city and safety of golfers as reasons for the move. "We believe most residents of Hastings and Indian Hills would be amazed at the abuse in the form of careless driving, speeding and casual road drinking that goes on over this short stretch of basically unsafe road for the limited use it sees,” a second letter from four residents of Indian Hills said. Signing the letter were Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Burns, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Beilgraph. Dr. and Mrs. Thomas Hicks and Mr. and Mrs. Dale Koop. Mayor Kenneth J. Howe announced that Yard Cleanup Week has been set to begin May 17. City crews will pick up lawn debris at the front of homes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Debris should be set out a( 7 a.m. The proposed budget for the 1983 fiscal year was distributed to members. A public hearing will be held on the budget May 24. (See next week's issue of The Banner for more on the proposed budget.) Jasperse. the council's representative on the Planning Commission, announced that Roy Carlson had been elected commission chairman, Ron Miller, vice-chairman, and Michael Payne, recording secretary. From 1946 until his retirement in 1973, Herrington was employed at the Veteran's Administration Hospital in Battle Creek where he served as assistant personnel of­ ficer. personnel officer, and later as acting assistant hospital director. A former Assyria Township trustee. Herrington resides at 15601 North Avenue. He attended Western Michigan University. Argubright Business College and Kellogg Community College and has taken courses from University of Michigan and Michigan State University. He was a Barry County Delegate to the Republican State Convention in 1977. “I would like to see the next (county) commission consider a goal oriented type of management. This type nf management provides for long term planning and also a means of control as well as evaluating progress being made on programs and-or projects," he said. “Some 40 of Michigan's 83 counties have employed some type of an administrator as a means of improving county administration. The per capita cost of county government in those 40 counties is considerably lower than in the other counties. I would like to see the next commission make an objective study of this matter and then determine whether such an innovation could be profitably used in this county." said Herrington. He also feels that there are many ad­ ministrative areas in the county which should be evaluated as a part of any management review. Another area Herrington would like to see the next board examine is "the present county organization structure (other than that mandated by law) as a part of any overall effort to obtain better utilization of existing resources. Certainly a review of the utilization of county employees, a high cost area, and a look into our building maintainance program is in order.” While he served on the county board, Herrington was a member of the board’s finance committee both years, and served on the property and animal shelter committees, the county mental health board, and the Southcentral Michigan Planning Com­ mission.

Story on Page 8 Middleville’s BradfordWhite calls back 110 by Ken Reibel The Bradford-White Corp, has called 110 of its 125 laid-off employees back to work al its Middleville manufacturing plant. According to Richard Milock, corporation vice president and general manager, the reason for the call back is two-fold: an in­ crease in orders for the hot water heaters, which the firm produces, and the closing of a subsidiary plant in Chattanooga, Tenn. The subsidiary plant, W.L.Jackson Corp., was also a major producer of hot waler heaters. Il was acquired by Bradford-White in June, 1980. It closed its doors April 28 of this year because it was “unable to attain needed < ash for creditors”, the Chattanooga Chamber of Commerce told the Banner. A statement made to the Chamber by Bradford-While blamed “adverse economic conditions" for the closing. Milock says Bradford-While's acquisition of the W.L Jackson Corp, had nothing to do with the Middleville layoffs. "Those people were not put on the street because of W.L.jackson," says Milock. Milock expressed concern that some Broadford-White employees might think that the company's acquisition last summer of the Chattanooga subsidiary was responsible for the loss of some jobs. He stressed that the layoffs in Middleville took place before W.L.jackson was bought. John Rank, industrial relations manager for Bradford-White, say his company has recently increased production by ap­ proximately 38 percent, and will be adding a second shift as well. Bradford-White employs 550 people, of which 15 are still laid-off*. Most of those called back to work are hourly UAW workers. Bradford-White Corp- in Middleville employs 440 hourly U.A.W. employees. �The Hastings Banner - Thursday, May 13,1982 - Page 2 /letters^ to the Editor: Physician’s group warns of nuclear threat by Ken Keibel To the Editor: The parents and teachers of Hastings Humpty Dumpty Cooperative Preschool would like to thank you for your continued interest in all our beautiful children. Your enthusiasm and support is very much ap­ preciated. Sincerely, Jacqueline Battiste Think, for a moment, the unthinkable. A pleasant Monday afternoon. Shoppers milling about Grand Rapid's Calder Plaza, sunbathers on the banks of the Grand. Suddenly, there is a scream of civil defense sirens, and those near radios hear that the Soviet Union has launched a nuclear strike against the U.S. Fifteen minutes of disbelief and confusion lollow, barely enough time to find your car and leave town. All eyes are on the sky, but they can’t discern the thin wisp of smoke coming in from the north, the contrail of a Soviet-built SS-19 nuclear missle. A moment later, the one-megaton warhead detonates 500 feet over the city. Destruction is complete. Within a two-miie radius of ground zero, 98 percent die in a radioactive vapor. Four-hundred mile an hour winds turn window shards, masonry and people into deadly projectiles, and fan firestorms that melt glass and quadruple the radius of destruction. Forty miles away, in Hastings, afternoon shoppers glance at a brilliant flash of light in the northwest sky, and their retinas are severely burned, > great is the brilliance of the explosion. This is a possible scenario painted by a group of concerned doctors • called Physicians for Social Responsibility. Two members of the group, Dr. James Flick of Grand Rapids, and Paul Hoffman, a con­ troller for Magda Great Lakes of Grand Rapids, gave a movie and slide presentation on the threat of nuclear annihilation to a group of doctors and attorneys at the Hastings country club Thursday.

' Bradley started with the company May 10, 1962, when Flexfab first started production. Since then. Bradley has "had just about all the jobs", according to Bill Pierce, who, along with Doug DeCamp, founded the company.

New equalization director says fairness is goal Editor's note: This is the first in a series of articles relating to property taxes and millages. Today, an introduction to the office of the Barry County Equalization Dept., and its new director. John M. Ainslie. In up­ coming issues, we will try to explain to you, in easily understood terms, how property­ taxes work, where the money goes, how it is spent, and how the amount of taxes levied can change. by Ken Reihel Do not get the tax assessor and the equalization director mixed up. The tax assessor evaluates the worth of property on a case by case basis. He will come to your home and note the new paint on the sophets, or the screened in back aorch that wasn't there last year. The equalization direc or measures the -worth of whole townships by property class, then passes that figure nto the assessor. Property appraisals and sales studies are the main tools of the county equalizer, with the end result being, ideally, that each township pays its fair share of the tax dollar. John M. Ainslie, 34, came to Hastings April 19 of this year to assume the duties of county equalization director, replacing Phyllis Jackson al that post. He was raised on a 180acre dairy farm in Grand Ledge, near Lansing. After graduatiijg from Michigan State University in 1971 with a bachelors degree in engineering, Ainslie worked for the Farmers Home Administration. In 1975, he was hired by the Manistee equalization department. Ainslie says an engineering background helps him to "understand the fine structures in buildings." In 1978, Ainslie went to work for the city of Springfield, as both an assessor and building inspector, before coming to Hastings. When asked about the difference between Springfield and Hastings, Ainslie says “We have a downtown here, but there was no real downtown area in Springfield. We used to joke about ‘beautiful downtown Springfield.’” “Springfield has a very good industrial and commercial base,’ says Ainslie, “it’s just not as concentrated as Hr stings’s." “I’ve always liked Hastings,” says Ainslie. He said he ran track during his days at Grand Ledge High School, and his team often came here to compete. Ainslie's biggest challenge, he says, is in determining equity between governmental units, and that it is important the same procedures of gathering information be used on each township. Ainslie’s office consists of Cindy Allerding, secretary, Dan Feather, mapper and describer and Sue Raseley, appraiser. A fourth staffer may soon be hired as property appraiser, says Ainsley. Ainslie and his wife, Diana, have two children. Robert, 6, and Kristy. 5.

I went to my first City Council meeting Monday and I would like to express my great disappointment in how the petitions against the increase in the water rate were handled 1 feel we collected those signatures to express how we, the people, felt, taking one step to express our thoughts and views. The petitions were looked over and passed around and noted to be registered in the minutes. There was no discussion on the possibility of even lowering the rate even to a possible 3 percent or whatever. I feel the council members already had their minds made up. that Mr. Klovanich was right in what he wanted and there was no room for not raising the rate or even lowering the rate. All J heard was bond issues and the money needed for improvements. Last May, the city tore up our street, S. Washington, in front of our house, to put down a larger pipe. The road was lorn up all summer and when they got done, they left a large hole where they dug in my front yard. In the late fall, we called the city and they brought some dirt down. Not good dirt, just clay dirt, and they threw some seed on it. This spring, because of their improvements, I have had to buy more grass seed, fertilizer and water constantly. This is only a small part. They also destroyed the curb in front of the house and when they fixed the corner curbs, it stopped right on the property line of our yard. Mr. Klovanich said they had some money left to repair some curb this spring, which is now, and he would consider putting us on the list. Well, spring is here and all I hear is if your name is on the list, they will fix the curb. Well, City of Hastings, I’m tired of paying more and more. I’ve tried to fix my propertyup and you make it look worse, and all I hear al the council meeting is we have to have this money for improvements and yet I pay more and see no improvements, only destruction. The pipe maybe is an improvement but it did not change anything inside my house. The economy is getting harder and harder to cope with. At least th' council could have considered the people. I realize things have to be updated but there has to be some ideas on other ways and changes. Jeannette Ogden Just a footnote: I just heard the noon news. I salute you, Mayor Ken Howe, for vetoing the council's decision. I know this might not be the end. but at least I feel you did listen. Thank you. Dowling boy, 4, killed in farm tractor mishap A four-year-old Dowling boy was killed in a farm-related accident Thursday, May 6. Barry County sheriffs say Todd Dunn, 12333 Bird Rd., was riding on a tractor driven by the boy’s uncle. Jerry Dunn, 33, of 12855 South Drive N., who was discing on a farm in Johnstown Township. The farm, located at 15905 Waubascon Rd., is owned by the boy's grandfather, Ralph A. Dunn.

Read the Banner EVERY WEEK...on the newstands late Thursday afternoon! • Portions of a movie pul out by PSR, "The Last Epidemic", were shown. The movie is a documentary of a 1980 medical conference in San Fransisco, in which scenes from the atomic bombing of Hiroshima were in­ terspersed with professionals lecturing on the hazards of nuclear weapons. The somber mood of the country club crowd was broken when an English doctor in the film, using typical British un­ derstatement. described nuclear war as "medically contraindicated". PSR is a national, non-profit organization of doctors, dentists, and the public at large, dedicated to educating the public on the medical hazards of muclear weapons and nuclear war. Il was formed in 1961 in Boston by doctors conce’ned with the medical implications of above-ground nuclear testing. The group publishes a plethora of pam­ phlets. One, titled “The Medical Aspects of Nuclear War”, lays out the following ob­ servations: — Even a limited nuclear war would result in death and destruction unprecedented in the history of human existence. — Medical disaster planning for nuclear war is meaningless, for there is no effective medical response. The group maintains that most hospitals in an area of attack would be destroyed, and many physicians and other health care personnel would be among the casualties. The survivors would envy the dead. — There is no effective civil defense. The intense heat of a blast, reaching to the millions of degrees, would turn fallout shelters into crematoriums. Fallout from an explosion in Grand Rapids would be carried on prevailing winds to Port Huron, and fan out to a width of 60 miles. — Recovery from nuclear war would be impossible. Economy, ecology and the social structure of civilization would be destroyed. — There can be no winners in a nuclear war. Worldwide fallout would contaminate much of the globe for generations, and genetic defects would be horribly evident from generations more. PSR further maintains that any medical doctor who takes part in emergency medical planning for a nuclear attack is commiting an unethical act, "deluding himself, his collegues and the public at large." PUBLIC OPINION: ^KenReibel TODAY’S QUESTION: A growing movement is calling for a halt to the nuclear arms race, while others say we must continue to build arms while negotiating with the Soviet Union. Which course of action do you favor and why? To the Editor: In reponse to Mr. Don Johnson's recent article in the Banner, “the facts” may De more concealed than ever. You suggest that we compare the average teachers salary at Middleville ($20,196.00) with the average salary at Wayland ($18,000.00). You then suggest that we take the $2,000.00 difference and multiply it by the number of teachers involved and we nowhave saved the Middleville taxpayers great sums of money. Don’t you think, Mr. Johnson, that the average salary figures that you are "bringing into the open" could indicate that the Middleville school district have older, more experienced teachers? Those area schools. Mr. Johnson, that are in the $16,000.00 average bracket could be staffing younger, less experienced teachers (thus less pay). Those older, more experienced teachers, just as you and I. deserve more money with experience. They should not have to go unrewarded This creates incentive for them to work harder, th'js giving our kids a better education. I aon’t think, Mr. Johnson, that you would work at the same wage your entire career. I also don’t feel that you would work without medical, life or disability insurance while supporting a family. I would imagine you have a retirement fund to look forward to as well. As for nine month’s work, these people are professionals and have worked for and chosen their profession. You and I could just as easily be handing out assignments. I think if you want to compare figures, Mr. Johnson, start at the base salary. I think you will find these very comparable and you without a leg to stand on. Sincerely, Ralph Ryan Write us a letter!

Pat Baker Jill Huntley Pete Schantz President Reagan, in a recent speech to his dlma mater of Eureka College, said he will initiate strategic arms reduction talks with the Soviets. It is an historic gesture, and while most everyone agrees that nuclear war is had. not everyone can agree on a suitable method of reducing the number of nuclear weapons. Diana Dean, of Hastings, thinks it would be unwise to stop producing nuclear weapons and have the Russians continue to add to their stockpiles, saying "America’s only recourse is to build up our nuclear forces and continue to negotiate." "If we knew that every country would stop building arms, then I would say to stop, but I don’t think they will." says Beverly Phillips, of Hastings. "So-I think the answer is to keep building weapons." says Phillips, "until we get an agreement between the major powers." "I feel that the buildup of nuclear arms is a bit of a deterrent to nuclear war," says Pat Baker of WBCH in Hastings. He says the fact that we have as much as the Soviets "evens it out so that neither side will do anything because they know we’re just going to wipe each other out in a nuclear war." Jill Huntley, of Hastings, says the U.S. should continue to build arms during negotiations "Otherwise, the Russians could just decide to bomb us." Mary Voorman. an E. Lansing resident who works in Hastings, is in favor of "as much disaimament as possible." Voorman says that if we wait for the Soviets to move, the arms race will continue to escalate "I think the more arms we have, the more likely we are to use them," says Voorman. and she adds her hope that "someday we can have a world without nuclear arms at all.” "I feel that we should stop building arms completely." says Mrs. David L. Jones of Delton. “I don't think they're goidg to solve anything, because if we get hit. we hit someone and everyone gets wiped out.” Jones feels that we have enough arms right now to deter an attack, saying "The way Reagan has set up the budget, the military has all it needs." “I favor reduction in nuclear arms in anyway it can take place," says John Warren of Hastings, and he adds "The question is how much is enough...Do we need 5,500 nuclear warheads like we have, or can we gel along with less? Does it really make any difference to the Russians whether we have 3.000 or 6.000 missies? I presume not." Pete Schantz, a Hastings businessman, calls nuclear disarmament "a touchy situation." and thinks there is a "happymedium " between lutal disarmament and a further buildup. •‘Personally, I’m in favor of stopping where we’re at. because I think there are enough nuclear arms right now to blow our country off the earth and Russia too." �The Hastings Banner - Thursday.

Bishop St. Cyril s Catholic Church in Nashville has been listed in the State Register of Historic Sites. The church was originally built by the local Baptist Society, who started construction in the fall of 1876 Nashville was undergoing a major building boom at the time, with a primary school, two stores and an addition to a new store going up at the same time as the church. Various church fund-raisers were staged to keep the building program solvent, and the 1877 Nashville News was full of an­ nouncements such as "The sugar social held by the Baptist Church Friday, netted $19.11 for their fund." April of *77 brought the crowning touch, the raising of a church spirebuiltinthe form nf a square. 30 feel above the brickwork, and shingl“d. The top of the spire stood 70 feet above the streets of Nashville, and the News noted “A magnificent view of the village can lie obtained from the cupola of this church." On May 17. 1877, the Baptists dedicated their new house of worship. It had cost a respectable $3,300 to build. Approximately half of the amount was covered by donations. Delton Area CEDAR CREK BIBLE.

Though the Baptists had new quarters in which to worship, leadership problems and pastoral changes befell the congregation. Slightly more than a year later, the Baptists faced a dreadful loss. The Society, unable to meet payments on the church mortgage, found its property foreclosed upon with an unpaid balance of $1,235. The building was purchased two years later by the newly-organized St. Cyril Parish for the cash price of $1,368. The Catholics, having no church in Nashville, were organized in 1882 under the guidance of Bishop Borgess of Grand Rapids. Mass was offered in various private homes as often as possible. Sixteens vears later, the Catholics made extensive structural changes. Windows were replaced with cathedral glass, the pitch of the roof steepened and shingled, two minarets added and a handsome addition was constructed on the southwest corner for the sacristy. When the steeple was lowered for remodeling in 1954. News editor Don Hinderliter published a tale which added a bit of Nashville Area CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE. 301 Fuller St .

The story had to do with the cross which topped the old spire and which leaned a little to the northeast: "Away back in the years right after the cross was placeu there, a couple of young fellows bouno?d into Hale's Drug Store (now Country Cornets Market) and asked if they could have two ice cream cones on the cuffs, until such lime as a bet was decided and it could be determined which of them would pay for said sodas. Mr. Hal agreed, and after having set up the sodas, asked about the nature of the bet. "Well, they explained, it had to do with the cross atop the Catholic church. The way it leaned, they figured it might eventually fall, but the question was, which way would it fall? One bet it would be to the east, the other figures to the north. As soon as it actually fell and they found out who won the bet. they would be in and settle for the sodas."Well, John Dinnen & Son carefully removed the cross without letting it even gently topple to the rooftop and now have it replaced at a lower level," concluded Hinderliter after the 1954 operation. "It begins to look as if the bet will never be decided." ST CRYIL & METHODIUS. Gun take Father Dennis Boylan. Pastor Phone 792-2889 Saturday Mass 5pm.

A little incident that makes us realize that it's a small world we're living in after all. Mrs. Sisson received a letter last Thursday from her youngest brother, Willis Carter, who lives at Greensburg, Ind. He wrote it Monday night and 1 quote: "Today, I was in Connorsville, Ind. and approached a man in front of a store to ask him the directions to a certain real estate dealer and he informed me that he was new in town. I asked him where he was from and he said ‘Grand Rapids' Then 1 told him that I had folks in the area of Hastings, Mich. He then related that he had a store in Hastings — a jewelry store. I told him that your name was Sisson. He asked if it was Victor Sisson and I said •yes.' He replied that he knew him as a correspondent for the Hastings Banner but that he had never met Victor but that he had been writing for the Banner for a long time. His name was Gilmore, I believe. He was only in Connersville to help put on a sale in the store there. Small world!” End of quote. We do not buy jewelry so have no excuse for going in there. However, I'll make it a point to go in and introduce myself at the first opportunity. Evidently one of my readers!

Johnston Mayor Kenneth J. Howe vetoed a nine percent hike in the water and sewer rates that was approved unanimously by the Hastings City Council. Monday. Howe took his action Tuesday morning. Council can overturn the veto by a two-thirds vote of its eight members. Howe’s action was the first time the veto has been used since the late 1960's when FranklinC. (Ping) Beckwith vetoed a plan to allow a canoe landing at Tyden Park. Beck­ with’s veto was not overturned by that council, which had split its vote on the original motion. In line with the city charter, Howe listed four reasons for his action: — “Additional funding is not required at the present time to maintain the solvent con­ dition of the system. — “The system (water and sewer) will not be jeopardized in ability to function if these funds were not approved. — "The bonding conditions will continue to be met without additional funding. — "It is apparent that raising the rates is contrary to the wishes of the residents of the City of Hastings.*' Howe later criticized the plan to continue replacement of 15 blocks of water lines each year, a practice that has been maintained in the past. “With the condition of the economy at the present time," Howe said. “We can no longer sustain that pace." He said the increase was being justified by the need to build up th-? improvement and extension fund so that 15 blocks could be replaced. "You don't let things go,” countered Second Ward Councilman William Cusack, who made the motion for adoption of the new rates as chairman of the Water Supply end Sewage Committee. “You don’t run your auto without changing the oil. There are certain things that must be maintained, otherwise in the future, people will have to pay more."

Banner Photo Guenther continued from front page — "This proposal is similar to the program authorized two years ago which permitted individuals and or organizations to donate to other sports,” Guenther's agenda said. "The voluntary monies would have to be deposited with the Board before a sport would be of­ fered. The Board Finance Committee would be granted power to act on all matters af­ fecting athletics.” In addition to the recommendations Guenther will make Monday, he will offer special comments and a priority list of what to do if the fiscal status of the state and therefore the school distict should worsen, causing projected budgets to be in deficit. Under priority one Guenther lists the closing of wings at Northeastern School and Southeastern School with a net savings of $2,000, or closing Southeastern School with a net savings of $50,015, or closing Pleasantview School with a net savings of $70,355. Under priority two, Guenther suggests custodial services be provided every third day with all community use of facilities on a paying basis, saving $60,000. Under priority three, he suggests elimination of all bus transportation at an estimated savings of $281,120. In other business Monday, Guenther will recommmend that 55 seniors in the Adult Education Program be granted their diplomas on May 28. and that 275 senior high students be allowed to graduate on June 4. provided they successfully complete their graduation requirements.

During I he council meeting, Sandra Brace, 420 W. Center St. submitted a petition with 188 signatures against the rate increase. Brace told the council that people cannot handle the escalating costs of living. "People are frustrated, they're angry." she said. Dr. Kingsley Bennett also spoke against the increase, quest.oning the amounts set aside for improvements. Speaking in favor of the increase was former Mayor Ivan Snyder, who said that, like everyone else he hates to see an increase, but felt it was necessary.

School District Gunplains Township Delton-Kellogg School None 1.38 None 7.00 12.1 by Ken Rt-ibel State Police from tne Bat tie Creek post say the quick action of neighbors stopped the break-in of a Barry Township home Tuesday, May 11. Sgt. Marian Bagent say a man and woman surprised and held two Battle Creek men at gunpoint until police arrived during a breakin at the Mathew Jozwik residence. 13828 Banfield Rd. It all started when the woman, an aquaintance of Jozwik's who knew he wasn't home, drove by the Jozwik home a nd became suspicious of two men she saw pulling into the driveway Bagent says she then drove to her mother s house, which overlooks the Jozwik home, and observed the strangers walking around the house. The woman called police, then summoned help from another neighbor, and the two went together to Juzwik's home. Meanwhile. E.W. Bliss Co. in Hastings recently signed major contracts, totalling $3.9 million, for minting machinery with the United Slates and Mexican governments. Dan Shepler. manager of mint systems for the company, said the $1,811,000 US. government contract was for ten coining presses. "There is a possibility that could be doubled." Shepler said. "They have the option of increasing the quantity 100 percent. I don’t know whether they will this time or not ; we’re not sure the money is there to do that." Shepler said that, at this point, the contract will probably not affect employment at the local plant. "Il's a nice order, but it probably equates to only 15 percent of our projected business NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that the voting place for the election will be as follows: The Upper Elementary School Gymnasium 327 North Grove Street Delton, Michigan This Notice is given by order of the board of education. Dated: April 26, 1982 Juliet Bourdo Secretary of the Board of Education Tor the year for the plant." Shepler said. "If they increase to 20 machines, that could affect the employment." The equipment was purchased for the Philadelphia mint. He said that the Mexican contract for a minting plant in Mexico City was recieved about a month ago for coin blanking presses. The $2.1 million contract is for three presses and related equipment. The Mexico City plant is equipped entirely with Bliss blanking and coining presses, he said. Shepler said that the local plant is in the process of completing a U.S. order of $1,765.000 for equipment for the Denver mint, received eight or nine months ago. The Hastings plant, a division of Gulf and Western Corp, builds about 10 minting presses a year. Shepler said.

Election Date Name of District June 14, 1982 Delton-Kellogg School Counties of Barry and Allegan Dated: March 19, 1982 Frederick G. Edgerton Allegan County Treasurer Bagent says the two men backed their car into Jozwik's garage and closed the door. The woman blocked the driveway with her car. According to the report, the neighbor, armed with a rifle, then surprised the thieves when he threw open the garage door. Bagent says the two men attempted to drive away, and the man fired a warning shot before shooting out a side window in the getaway vehicle. The two men attempted to drive around the woman’s car. but became lodged in a ditch which runs down the side of the driveway. Police say the neighbor then held the two at gunpoint until troopers arrived. Arrested at the scene were Robert Wilson, 21, and Kelvin Stockiey, 22. Both were arraigned Wednesday morning on charges of breaking and entering, and lodged in the Barry County Jail. Wilson’s bond is set at $15,000, Stockley’s at $25,000. Preliminary examination for the two men is set for May 24. E.W. Bliss signs American and Mexican contracts Yean Effective 1981-1983 1982-1983 Snyder noted that after a 100 percent in­ crease was approved four years ago, the council asked Klovanich to seek rate in­ creases each year, rather than waiting until the system fell behind. "If 1 lived on a block with a one inch main, said Councilman Patrick Vaughan <First Ward), "and couldn't run water because my neighbor was taking a shower. I'd want the improvements." Klovanich also pointed out that residents received two to five percent reductions in the fire insurance costs, several years ago. because of continued improvements." Esther Walton, 525 W. Green St., voiced objection to the way sewer bills are based only on the winter quarter. Several officials said they could find no fairer system. Neighbors thwart break-in COUNTY TREASURER’S CERTIFICATE 2. Board of Education * Unexpired Term. One (1) Local Unit Delton-KeBogg School Mary Spackman (First Ward), chairman of the Finance Committee, said she sym­ pathized with the people who appeared at Monday's meeting to speak against the in­ crease, but she saw the need for the rate hike. “I don't like to pay higher water bills anymore than anybody else," she said. "It’s just like the state income lax going up. I'm not overjoyed by the idea, but I don’t know what else we can do." Michael Klovanich, director of public services, who originally requested a 12 percent rate hike, said that based on last year's consumption, the city will be lucky to break even on the nine percent increase. "Without the nine percent increase, we’ll go $38,325 in the red, based on the present year's consumption," Klovanich said. He said that the system still has about 100 • blocks of one and two inch water mains that need to be replaced with six inch and larger mains at a cost of $10,000 to $12,000 a block. "The bond issue says tha*. you shall keep the system in maintenance and repair at all times," Klovanich said. "If you don't do maintenance this year, you never get caught up.” The water system is funded by revenue bonds, which are paid oft from the proceeds of the system. Klovanich said that to fulfill the bond requirements several funds must be maintained before any money is available for the improvement and extension fund The operation and maintenance fund is required to have the next month's operation, maintenance and administration costs in reserve, he said. That fund stood at $41,177 at the close of the 1981 fiscal year, reflecting an annual budget of $448,000. Klovanich explained that the bond and interest redemption fund, which was at $133,591 at the end of the 1981 fiscal year, was required to have an amount equal to the next principal and interest payment on the bonds, plus $75,000. The public services director said that a $25,000 replacement fund is also required and the interest from that fund and all others must remain in the fund. The replacement fund currently stands at $44,077 with the accumulated interest. “The improvements and extension fund is the money left after we set aside the requirements of the bond issue." Klovanich said. He said that a water pump at Tyden Park has started pumping sand and they have been working to clear that up. The pump has been diverted to waste until it is clear "It’s one of our largest wells," Klovanich said. “If we couldn't save.that well, it will cost between $100,000 and $120,000 to replace it today ." The system is served by four wells and all four are in use during periods of high demand such as a large fire or when the system is being flushed. The director also said that some new controls are needed at the waste water treatment plant because they are outdated and have caused trouble with the pumps. Howe said that Klovanich normally likes to keep about $100,000 in the improvement and extension fund, but that amount has dropped to about $46,000. “It is my contention that we should merely sit on the money coming in this year and do (minimum) maintenance," Howe said, "then next year take the money and do more next year." Howe said that the possibly the revenues could rise through increased use, or better prices might be obtained on pipe through greater buying power, next year. "Our sewer and water rates are still some of the highest in the state for a system of our size.” Howe said. "If we could increase consumption by 50 percent, we probably wouldn't have to raise rates for five years, but everybody has tried to conserve and now we’re being penalized." Howe called the rate increase, which will raise the minimum water and sewer bill from $22.50 to $24.50, a bandaid measure and said council needs to get out of the attitude that whenever they need any money, they raise rates or taxes. "...We're going to do a lot ot work between now and the following council meeting to turn people out." the mayor continued. He said people must come to the meeting and write or call their representatives on council about their Views on the rale hike. “If it’s the people's wish, if they feel they can do without improvements," he con­ tinued., "then we ought to honar their wishes and desire." Howe said he fully expects the council to override his veto unless people turn out against the proposal. Howe said he didn't speak out against the rate hike at the meeting because he was The City has not increased its operating tax rate of 15.68 mills ($15.68 per $1,000 SEV) for the past 2 years. Because of a new state law (Act 5 of 1982), the city's base tax rate is reduced to 15.5582 mills for 1982. How­ ever, the city has complete authority to establish the number of mills to be levied from within its authorized miilage rate. In order to maintain basic city services, the city pro­ poses to levy an additional millage rate of 0.6418 mills (64 cents per $1,000 SEV) above tne 15.5582 mill base tax rate, or a total operating rate of 16.20 mills ($16.20 per $1,000 SEV). this will provide an estimated 4.12% increase in city operating revenues. Public comment on this proposed increase is welcome at the public hearing. tax collection from December billing to June billing. "I see no problem in doing this, though we're not ready to do it new," Mary Spack­ man (First Ward), Finance Committee chairman, told the council. Monday. "I’m somewhat concerned that we’ve had no input from the general public,” she added. Spackman said she would like people to call their council representatives and give their opinions on the tax switch. The proposal was made by the Hastings Board of Education and referred to the Finance Committee for study. The school board said the plan would save substantial interest money for the district because less money would have to be borrowed each year.

The Marshall Redskins rallied for a pair of runs in the last inning Tuesday, and slipped away with their second win this season over the Hastings Saxon baseball squad. The 6-5 loss dropped the Saxons to 4-2 in Twin Valley play and left them looking up pt Marshall and Sturgis in the Twin Valley standings. "The way I see it, we can still challenge for the title, even with three losses we would still be in it," Hastings mentor Bernie Oom said. "We should of had this one though. We had the game and we blew it." Two base hits, a walk and a Saxon out­ fielder throwing to the wrong base keyed Marshall’s seventh inning rally. Marshall jumped to a 3-6 lead off Saxon starter Mark Larsen, but Hastings exploded for five runs in the bottom of the third. Marshall added a run in the fifth off Larsen who left after six innings with the Saxons up 5-1. Dann Howitt came on in relief and was the victim of Marshall’s seventh inning rally. Larsen went six innings, gave up four runs, two of them earned, on six hits. He struck out four hitters and walked two. Howitt in his one inning allowed two runs, both earned, on two hits, and took the loss. An RBI double by Stu Spyker and singles by Dann Howitt and Drew Howitt brought in runs to key the Saxons five run rally in the third inning. Marshall helped out with a pair of errors in the inning. Spyker and Bruce Saxons splits with Lake wood The Hastings Saxon softball squad looked like two different teams lues'lay. In the first game of the day against Lakewood the Saxons committed 13 errors and lost a 15-7 decision to the Vikings. But in the secund game the Saxons cut the errors down to two, and celebrated first base person Paula Atkinson's birthday with a 14-4 win in five timings. Atkinson did a little celebrating of her own in the second game victory- with a three run homer, a single and five runs batted in. When she stepped on home plate after hitting her round tripper in the fifth inning it stopped the game on the ten run rule. "Il was an exciting homerun and it was nice because we played so badly the first game." Hastings coach Judy Anderson said. "All of sudden we just couldn’t field the ball," Anderson said oi the first game errors. "In the second game we sho .ed a lol of improvement.” Only two of Lakewood's 15 runs were earned in the first game. Karrie Price was the winning pitcher foe Lake wood. She held the Saxons to seven runs on six hits. Sheri Blair took the ioss for Hastings on the hill. She allowed six hits. Any Stackhad a triple and Blair had a pair of singles and collected two runs batted in. to lead the Hastings offensive cause. Atkinson, Laura Oom and Sheri Johncock each had singles. In the second game Blair held Lakewood to just four runs on four hits to get the win. She walked only one hitter and struck out three. Besides Atkinson's birthday heroics, Johncock tripled and added a pair of runs batted in to the Hastings attack. Teresa Maurer and Carri Dunn each chipped in with singles In a game on Monday, the Saxons pounded out 1! hits to take a ten run rule contest from Delton 15-3. Blair was the winning pitcher holding Delton to three runs on four hits. She also helped herself with her bat hitting two singles, a triple and knocking in two runs. Saxon gal thinclads split The Hastings girl’s track squad split in Twin Valley thindad action Wednesday, suffering their first loss in the league. The Saxon gals rolled past Albion 104-19 in one part of the tri-dua! meet, but came up on the short end of a 62-61 score in a battle with Marshall. The Saxons are now 5-1 in the Twin Valley. In the meet with Albion the Saxons look firsts all but two events in rolling to the easy win. Laura Allerding was a four time winner leading the Saxons for the day.

As of April 16, camp physicals are no . longer required. However, we are required to have on file a camper’s medical information sheet which will be provided when a camper pre-registers for his week at camp. This form can be filled out by the camper’s parent. Hopefully, this new law will make camp more affordable. TINY TOT CAMP - In just a few weeks, a brand new camp called Tiny Tots will begin at the YMCA Camp. Tiny Tot Camp is designed to give youngsters ages 5-6 years of age the opportunity for supervised fun with other children in a camp setting. Each day is filled with a variety of events, singing and crafts. The camp enrollment is kept to a minimum of 25 per session with a camper-'ounselor ratio of five to one. We do this to ensure the greatest amount of personal at­ tention and hands-on experience for each child. The dates of this program are June 1418from9a.m. to 12 noonor 12:30 p.m. to3:30 p.m. or from June 21-25 from 9 a.m. to 12 noon or 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Campers will be picked up and dropped off by the YMCA at the junior high. The cost is $15 of the half-day one-week session. For more information and registration blanks, call 945-4574. There are still a few openings left, so call today to reserve your spot. BACKYARD POOL PROGRAM: Do you know the safest thing you can put around water? No, it’s not a fence or a wall — it’^ a boy or girl who can swim. In our continued effort to make our community a safer place, with so much water available, the Hastings YMCA-iouth Council is now setting up it's 1982 backyard pool program. We, the YMCA, will provide trained instructors to teach swimming for youth that have completed kindergarten through the third grade. Classes will be taught at the Red Cross beginning level. All classes are scheduled to meet Monday through Thursday for two weeks, with Friday being a make up day. Each class will be 30 minutes in length and will be offered at 10 a.m., 10:45 a.m., 11:30 a.m., and 12:15 p.m. The class ratio will be one whter safety instructor for every six to eight students. Dales of the classes can be chosen from the following sessions: June 28 - July 9, July 12 July 23, July 26 - August 6. Each pool is covered by the Hastings YMCA-Youth Concil Insurance Liability Program while we are using it. Pool owners are also given a tax write off by letting the YMCA use the pool during one of the sessions. If you are interested in having the swim lessons taught in your pool, or desire more information, please call the YMCA Office by May 21 at 9454574. Meyers each collected two hits in the game. Overall the Saxons move to 7-4. Their next action is Saturday when they host Coldwater in a doubleheader. Game time 10:30 a.m. The Saxons will host the district tour­ nament on Saturday, June 5, but to get there they will have to beat Caledonia in a qualifying game and move on a beat Por HASTINGS COUNTRY CLUB Men's Monday Night Gott League MATH RESULTS May 10 BLUE DIVISION Scott Payne, a Hastings High tennis player, has been a bright spot during the recent Saxon skid. Saxon netters in skid The Hastings Saxon tennis team is in a skid following losses to Twin Valley foes Hillsdale and Harper Creek. Hillsdale thumped them 6-1 in Tuesday night action and that loss, coupled with last Thrusday's 4-2 loss to Harper Creek, dims Saxons hopes for a league title shot. "We still have a chance for third place,” Coach Tom F reridge said. “But we blew our shot at the conference title.” First singles player Scott Payne was the only Saxon to register a win in the Hillsdale match: He took his opponent in two sets, 6-4, 6-0. Second doubles tandem Todd Stuart and Dave Flood made their opponents battle three sets before they gave way to defeat, but they were the only other Saxons that offered stiff competition. In the Harper Creek match last Thursday Payne led the way again with a 6-0, 6-1 thrashing of John McNeaghton. The other Saxon point in the losing effort came from second singles player Greg Myers who outlasted Rex Brown in three sets, 5-7, 7-5 and 7-5. Hastings is now 4-3 in Twin Valley tennis action. Overall they have a 6-3 mark. On Friday they travel to Albion for the Twin Valley Conference meet. On May 19, the Saxons will close out the regular season with a non-conference match with Allegan.

Sgt. Richard Zimmerman of the Hastings State Police team says Timothy Davis, 20, 3200 Woodschool Rd., Middleville, demanded in a letter an unspecified amount of money from Flexfab Inc. of Hastings, or he would release "sensitive material” to an uniden­ tified Canadian firm. Z;mmerman says that Davis is a former Flexfab employee, and the "sensitive material” included master data sheets from the Hastings manufacturer. The second count involved an alleged extortion attempt against a Flexfab em­ ployee, Doreen Barnum. No further details are available on the second count. At his arraignment, Davis demanded a preliminary examination, which is set for May 24 at 10 a.m. He way released on $5,000 personal recognizance bond. Hastings police say two juveni es stole a van parked outside the Elks club last weekend, May 8, and were subsequently chased down by the van’s owner and an Elks bartender. James Lamar, 56,1915 Iroquois Trail, says he stopped by the bar around Saturday night, May 8, and left just in time to see two youths driving his van away. He returned to the bar, and with the aid of the bartender, Gilbert Tate, gave chase in Tate's truck. After hitting speeds of 90 m.p.h., Tate and Lamar blocked Lamar’s van at a stop sign at the Stony Point intei section. Police say the juveniles, finding theii path blocked, at­ tempted to back up, and struck a third car, driven by Cherri Lvnn Miller, 23, 1110 Mixer Rd. The Lamar van then fell down an em­ bankment and into a water-filled ditch, pinning one of the youths inside the wheel well. With assistance from a nearby resident, Lamar extricated the youth. One of the juveniles was released to the custody of his parents, the other placed in the Allegan County Youth Home. A Hastings woman was hospitalized after the van she was driving collided head on into a tree early Friday morning. May 7. Hastings police say LaVonne Lynch, 537 E. Mill, lost control of her van near the corner of Green and Market streets. A call had to be put in to the Middleville fire department for an extraction tool, the "jaws of life", to extricate Lynch from her vehicle. Lynch was taken to Pennock hospital, then transferred to Grand Rapid’s Butterworth Hospital for treatment of fractures, where she is listed in fair condition. A rollover accident Saturday, May 8, resulted in an arrest oi an Ionia man for drunk driving and possession of hashish. Sheriffs say Mark Craig Fletcher, 20, of 161 W. Tuttle Rd., Ionia, passed out as he was driving through the intersection of Carton Center Rd. and M-66. His vehicle left the road, say sheriffs, rolled to one side and skidded for 34 feet. Sheriffs say they placed Fletcher under arrest after he failed sobriety tests, and a search of his person turned up ap­ proximately one-half ounce of hashish. Fletcher was lodged in the Barry County jail, and held on $100 bond on each count. Michael Lee Seeber, 30, of 276 E. Cherry St., Freeport, was hurt in a motorcyle mishap Saturday, on Chief Noonday Road. State police say Seeber and five other cyclists, members of the North Wind motorcycle club, were eastbound whei. Seeber attempted to pass between the others, and struck the back of « cycle driven by Robert K. Cantwell, 42, of Lansing. Seeber was cited for improper passing. He refused help and was taken away by friends. A breaking and entering of a Delton grocery store was reported Tuesday, May 4, at the Cedar Creek Grocery Store. Store owner Robert Simonton said the break-in occured between 9 p.m. Monday night and 4 a.m. Tuesday morning. Missing were bottles of whiskey, sausage, and cigarettes. Sheriffs are questioning two suspects. Jeffrey Kennedy, 87 Meadow Lane, reported someone slashed three of his tires at his home at 87 Meadow Ln., Saturday, May 8. Value of the tires is set at $150. Hope Township holds hearing, county board approval awaited by Ken Reibel There was little debate during the Hope Township Planning Commission's public hearing Tuesday night over adoption of a township zoning ordinance. About the only question raised was over a section concerning inoperable farm machinery and inoperable cars. It was decided that both should be treated equally, and kept out of sight. Kalamazoo attorney Richard Lang was on hand to clarify the legal language in the body of the ordinance for the thirty or so in­ dividuals who turned out for the hearing. Sylvia Forster, Planning Commission secretary, said the proposed ordinance will be submitted to the County Planning and Zoning Commission May 14, which may take action on it at their May 24 meeting. Pending commission approval, the proposal would come back to the Hope Township board for approval at its May 27 meeting. If the commission does not act within 30 days of the time the proposal is submitted, county ap­ proval is automatically granted. Forster says property owners in Hope Armed Service News: Joe LaFleur of Supoflu Systems Inc. holds o section of the new Flexfab tube. The tube, an inflatable bladder, is inserted down the chimney, and c special insulating cement is poured around it. New Flexfab product tested on local chimney by Ken Reibel An expandable chimney bladder for pouring insulated lining into chimneys, the first built in this country, was tried out for the first time recently on a Hastings chim­ ney. The tube was designed and built by Flexfab Inc. out of a heavy polyester. Ac­ cording to Doug DeCamp, Flexfab co­ founder, the new tube is lighter and more flexible than the old style tubes, which are manufactured in England. DeCamp says his company has been developing the tube for about 12 months. Joe LaFleur, of Byron Park, who owns Supaflu Systems Inc., gave the liner a positive report during Tuesday’s test run. He says the English tubes are more suited for European chimneys, which are generally not as tali as American chimneys. A lighter material is needed for taller chimneys, says LaFleur, to make the job of extracting the tube easier once the insulation has set LaFleur adds that the tubes generally have a life of three to five years, and that having a local supplier will bring down the cost of insulating chimneys, which now runs bet­ ween $650 and $1,000. But DeCamp of Flexfab says more work needs to be done on the tube before it is ac­ ceptable to his company, and that it could be six months before it is widely used. Dog owners cautioned by Hastings Postmaster Police soy two juveniles stole this von from the Elks club Saturday, night before backing in into a ditch near the Stony Point intersection. Banner photo Outdoor Report; Edible mushrooms can be found during all non-winter months, however, spring is generally considered the time for mushroom hunters, the Department of Natural Resources reports. Morel mushrooms are the most popular with the majority of mushroom hunters. You might say they have a "Morel Majority". They appear throughout the state and are most common in the northern lower peninsula There are plenty- in the Barry County area for those willing to work at finding them. The DNR warns that one has to be careful and learn to recogn'ze the edible and poisonous mushrooms. A good way to learn is to join forces with someone who knows mushrooms, the DNR suggests. Morels are most often found in moist forest areas in moderately fertile soils. Black morels are the first to come up, usually in late April and early May. They are followed by the white morels in late May and early June. Youngsters can win one of 52 national prizes, including a $1,000 U.S. Savings Bond, by participating in the fifth annual National Hunting and Fishing Day Poster Contest. The National Grand Prize of a $1,000 U.S. Savings Bond will be awarded to the youngster who best illustrates the 1982 contest theme-"Sportsmen and Con­ servation Working Together." The NHF Day Poster Contest is designed to foster an in­ creased awareness of the need to conserve natural and wildlife resources and the im­ portant role sportsmen play in America’s conservation efforts. The contest is open to all students in grades 5-12. So that youngsters can compete on a more equal basis, there is a Junior Division for grades 5-8 and a Senior Division for grades 9-12. In addition to the Grand Prize, national prizes include $500 savings bonds for First Place, $250 in bonds for Second Place, and $100 bonds for Third. First. Second, and Third Prizes will be awarded in both the Junior and Senior Division. There will also be 10 Honorable Mention Prizes of $75 savings bonds and 35 Merit Awards of $50 savings bonds. In order to be considered for national awards, posters must first be winners in a locally sponsored National Hunting and Fishing Day Poster Contest On the local level, contests can be organized by schools, sportsmen’s clubs, conservation or civic groups, newpapers, etc. To give youngsters time to research and prepare their posters, it is preferable that contests be organized as soon as possible. NHF Day Headquarters suggests that entries in local contests be displayed and judged at nearby NHF Dayprograms on September 25, if possible. Prizes for local winners may be awarded by the sponsoring organization. Winning posters should then be sent to nhf Day Headquarters for national judging. The deadline for submission of local prize-winning posters for the national contest is November 1, 1982.

"He doesn't bite!" claimed the dog owner to his letter carrier. These where probably the last words the letter carrier heard before the dog proved otherwise. Hastings postmaster Robert Brogan said today that certain precautionary safety measures exercised by the public and postal employees will aid the delivery ot mail and will reduce dog bite injuries to letter carriers. All letter carriers are being en­ couraged to follow safety tips in an effort to reduce the dog bite injury rate. The best thing you can do is to keep the letter carrier and your dog apart-far apart. If your dog is kept out doors at all times, secure him to a leash away from your mail receptacle and the line of the carrier’s entry and exit on your property. If your pet is a house dog, that's the best place for him during delivery time. Letter carriers are scheduled deliverers. They usually arrjve at your home about the same time each day. During this delivery time, keep your dog indoors. These easy to follow rules will keep your mail coming and bring a smile to your letter carrier. Delivery personnel are reminded that if an unrestrained dog threatens their safety, they should not risk injury. Hastings Postmaster Robert Brogan stated, "persons who do not control their dogs will not get their mail delivered.” He added, "all postal customers can help by reporting stray dogs to the proper authorities."

The major difference between the two ordinances is in its handling of single-wide mobile homes. Under the proposed township ordinance, single-wide homes are treated like any other residence in accordance with the township planning commission's in­ terpretation of a recent State Supreme Court decision.

May 17, at Pleasantview Elementary. JoAnn Fluke and Robert Baxter were the only members to vote yes on a proposal to place a new millage issue on the ballot either June 14 or July 7. the only available dates before the start of the next school year. Before the vote. Fluke said she favored setting June 14 as a date for “a shopping list type of ballot", in which specific school programs and needs would be itemized for consideration by voters. Individual programs would be presented seperately in mills and money approved to be committed to that specific program. Fluke was backed up by Baxter, who commented “if we can't get it all, we should get all we can." But most board members wanted to hear the outcome of employee negotiations before endorsing a new millage issue. "We have a*ked for contract concessions, and how would we know about going on the ballot until we've had an answer on those?... Other than •hat. 1 might be favorable to going on the ballot in June." said board member George Wibalda. There was little discussion that night when it came to eliminating 39*-j positions, under a plan proposed by Superintendent Richard Guenther last week to make up an operating deficit of nearly $500,000. Those positions are: — 10'j teachers in grades kindergarten through sixth, resulting in a 30 to 1 pupil­ teacher rat io in K-3, and 32 to 1 in 4-6. — Four positions in grades seven and eight, and nine in senior high, resulting in a 32 to 1 ratio. — Two positions in emotionally impaired and learning disabled.

Barry County is likely to have both a new state representative and senator The proposed ffllh House District places all of Barry County, except Thornapple and Yankee Springs townships, with all of Ionia County No incumbent currently lives in the district and the only announced candidate for the seat is Ronald Reisterer. a Comstock teacher who has changed his legal address to Nashville. The proposed 13th Senate District includes all of Barry. Ionia, and Montcalm counties with Cooper and Richland townships in Kalamazoo County and all of the city of Kalamazoo. The only incumbent legislators living in that'district are Sen. Jack Welborn, who is giving up his seat to run for goVernor. and his brother. Rep. Robert Welborn. Both concessions for the coming year. Instructing the board’s negotiating committee to seek acceptance of wage and fringe freezes for the coming fiscal year from custodians, food service personell and bus drivers Guenther, in special comments made Monday night, offered a priority list of the board's alternatives if "the fiscal status of the stale, and therefore the district, should worsen." Priority one includes closing wings of Northeastern and Southeastern schools, saving $2,000, or closing Southeastern school to save $50,015, or closing Pleasantview school with a savings of $70,355. Priority two includes custodial services every third day with all community use of facilities on a paying basis, with a savings of $60,000. Priority three calls for the elimination of all bus transportation, with a savings of $281,120.

Baxter said "I would like to emphasize that we have just eliminated jobs " His was the only comment made over that particular board action. Other cost-cutting moves made by the board include: —Notifying all administrators, super­ visors and non-union secretaries that they will be on a wage freeze for fiscal 1982-83. — Authorizing athletics to be supported by gate receipts and volunteer funds. — Requesting the HEA and school secretaries to discuss wage and fringe Republicans, they represent the city of Kalamazoo and some surrounding areas. Robert W •Ihom said Thursday morning that he is expecting to run for the new Senate District but is waiting for a final Supreme Court ruling on the boundaries. He had already announced his candidacy for the Senate, but was expecting to run for his brother s seat until it was cut up under the new redistricting plan. Both Welborn and Rep. Donald H. Gilmer iRpAugusta), who currently represents Barry County, said they expect the Supreme Court's ruling to be appealed in federal court by the Democrats? “They'll file for an injunction in federal court to stop the plan," Gilmer said “If they do, the Republicans will probably go to 'Justice) Sandra Day O'Connor and ask fora stay of the lower court injunction." Under the proposed 88th House District, 39,232 people from Barry County would be julned with 51.815 people fr -m Ionia County for a total population of 91,047.

Sandra Brace, 34. 420 W. Center, a spokesperson for the group, said she was tired of trying to talk to a City Council that doesn't listen to the people. “We don't feel the people on city council are representing us," she said. "I turned in a petition with 188 names on it and got no response whatsoever." “We are here to protest against the Council’s decision and to show support for the Mayor's veto." Last week Hastings Mayor Kenneth J. Howe vetoed a nine percent hike in the water and sewer rates that had been approved unanimously by the Hastings City Council. Howe's action was the first time the veto has been used since the late 1960's. Second Ward Councilman William B. Cusack, the chairman of the Water Supply and Sewage Committee, said the protester’s action would not change his vote. "I think it is toe bad people don't un­ derstand the need for the increase,” he said. Mayor Howe said he hopes the protesters are not criticized for “doing something they think is right". “Obviously they believe in what they are doing, and I appreciate the support they are demonstrating," he said. Howe's veto could be overturned at the City Council meeting on Monday, May 24.

Delton voters are being asked to approve a 1.5 mill tax increase and waive the Headlee amendment rollback io raise an additional $174,000 in operating revenue for Delton Kellogg Schools this year Voters will go to the polls June 14 to decide the two-year millage request. Delton Superintendent Willard Baker and Assistant Superintendent Dean McBeth said the additional millage is needed to allow the district to maintain educational programs; meet the inflationary increases of the daily operation of the schools such as employee salaries, supplies, and utilities; purchase textbooks, and restore co-curricular ac­ tivities in the budget. Co-curricular activities during the current school year have been funded by volunteers and gate receipts because voters turned thumbs down on a 2.5 mill increase last summer No itemized dollar amounts have been earmarked for the individual areas where the additional millage will be used, if the proposal passes. Baker said. He and McBeth said the board of education wants to remain flexible because of many variables involved. They said the variables include curriculum needs which will be determined after students complete class scheduling, negotiations with several employee units, and projected declining enrollment Student enrollment for the next school year is projected to decline from the current 2,161 pupils to 2,075, said Baker. By remaining flexible to the variables, they said, the board can avoid being locked in to a commitment if other viable alter­ natives become available. "We want to remain flexible so that if a "I think it’s important for the public to understand how we are ranked with other districts, said McBeth. According to the latest available statistics ( 1980-81) from the State Board of Education, the average salary per teacher is $18,523 which ranks 291 out of 529 kindergarten through 12th grade school districts in the state, he said. The 529 schools represent 99.8 percent of the total state membership. Baker said Delton’s salaries are lower than most other schools of comparable size and lower than other school districts in Barry County. Hastings ranks lv4 in average salary per teacher (which is $21,948), ac­ cording to the same report. Thornapple Kellogg is ranked 184. Baker noted that Delton ranks 460 in dollars spent per student for administration and business which is $504 per pupil. "People wonder about how (previous) cuts ,n our professional staff correspond with the decline we've had in student enrollment, McBeth said. "in the 1977-78 school year, we had 121 teachers. 10 administrators, and 2.434 students. This school year (1981-82), we have month down the r -id we see other ways of doing things, we can," said McBeth. This is the third year of a three year contract with teachers in the Delton Kellogg Education Association. McBeth said there is a 9.5 percent cap on cost of living increases in the contract and he expects teachers' cost of living increases for the next school year to be in the neighborhood of five to six percent The actual data for the cost of living increase will be available in July, he said. story continued on page 5 A group of area citizens marched on City Hall today in protest of a City Council decision to boost water and sewer rates in Hastings.

May 20, 1982 — Page 2 Tight budget means layoffs in city departments is also scheduled for Monday Michael Klovanich, director of public services, said the proposed budget includes no major or local street improvements, reduced winter maintenance, reduced sidewalk repair and reduced tree trimming from last year. "It boils down to manpower," Klovanich said. Mayor Kenneth J. Howe said the Police Department budget was cut from $387,000 for the year ending in 1982 to $370,000 in the upcoming year. "We have commitments to the (policemen's) union of about nine percent increases,” Howe said. “We are currently looking at the possibility of laying off two full time officers and one dispatcher ” The general administration budget for the city was cut by $71,000 over the current year to less than $700,000, Howe noted. Due to increases in wages and benefits and in­ creased fixed costs, however. Howe said the Fire Department budget would rise from $148,000 to $160,000. A new contract with the Hastings Am­ bulance Service saved the city $11,000 in the upcoming year. The ambulance subsidy will drop from $47,000 to $36,000. Howe said the council will have an op­ portunity to look at the budget if the millage increase was not ’.evied. He said the budget by Hubert J. Johnston Two layoffs in the Department of Public Services and three in Hie Police Department are expected if the Hastings City Council approves a proposed $1,610,483 budget, Monday. A formal hearing on the budget will be held during the May 24 City Council meeting at City Hall. The proposed budget is less than SI,000 higher than the budget for the 1981-82 fiscal year which ends June 30. The possibility of reducing the budget even further is expected to be discussed at the meeting, city officials said. The budget council members received at the last meeting was based on increasing the millage rate to the maximum of 16.2 mills. The council is also expected to study levying only 15.5582 mills, which would give the city the same revenue as last year. Under new state laws, labeled "Truth in Taxation”, the council must hold a public hearing if it wants to increase its revenue over the previous year. Prior to the new laws, local governments automatically received increases in revenues gained from rising property values and could change the amount of millage levied, up to their maximum, without notifying the public. The public hearing on the millage change council members received was based on the increased millage, but items were included which could be dropped without affecting city services or employment if revenues drop later in the year. "It will be up to the •'ouncil which one they want to adopt.” he said. “We thought we ought to show them the options. They can also adopt anything in between." Howe noted that the city is losing revenues from slate revenue sharing, dropping from $262,441 to $240,000. federal revenue sharing, reduced from $127,251 to $96,900 a nd state gas and weight taxes which are used for streets. Klovanich also pointed out that gas and weight tax revenues arc down and he added that the state announced Wednesday that cities will probably lose state revenue sharing payments for the fourth quarter of this year. “If we do not get the fourth quarter payment, we will have to use surpluses.” Klovanich said. “That’s what they are for.” The estimated operating surplus listed on the proposed budget $19,960. /LETTERS^ to the Editor: Republicans seeking candidate for state reps "I’m concerned about three or four people splitting 75 percent of the vote and the guy with 25 percent ends up winning (the primary),” Bender said. He proposed that Republican Chairman Wendell Strickland meet with Ionia County officials to review possible candidates. Barry County Commissioner P. Richard Dean suggested that Republicans begin circulating petitions on Bender’s behalf so that they will be ready to file by June 15. "I think he’s the most likely and the most qualified," Dean said. "If he’s willing, that’s our man." Strickland announced that deadlines for filing had been changed due to late reap­ portionment decisions. Delegates for county conventions must file by 4 p.m . June 8. Candidates for state representative, the state senate and the U.S. Congress must file by 4 p.m., June 15. All other candidates for office must file by June 1. The date of the August primary election has been changed from August 3 to August 10. The Republicans also heard a short talk from Dean Doty, representing congressional candidate Richard Milliman of Eaton County, who has announced for the Third District. Under proposed plans, the Third District will include the southern half of Barry County. The northern half and the City of Hastings will be in either the Ninth or Fifth district. Barry County Republicans are planning to meet with Ionia County Republicans to find a candidate for state representative in the new 83th District that would appeal to a cross­ section of voters. The 88th District, which is expected to be approved Friday by the Michigan Supreme Court will include all of Ionia County and Barry County, except Thornapple and Yankee Springs townships. Robert Bender, former chairman of the Barry County Board of Commissioners and a potential candidate, told the Republican county meeting in the District Court room. Monday, that he was aware of seven people who have indicated interest in the post. Ronald Reisterer, a Comstock resident who recently changed his legal address to .Nashville, has announced his intentions to run for the seat. Bender said he had heard that, in addition to Reisterer, Hastings Mayor Kenneth J. Howe and David McIntyre of Hastings also were interested in the post. (Howe said Wednesday, that although he has been approached by several people to run. including officials in Lansing, he is not intending to run for the seat because he feels he owes it to the people of the city to com­ plete his present term as mayor, which expires in 1983. > Bender said he has also heard of three Ionia County people who are interested in the post.

The canoe trip was exciting, a great learning experience and an inexpensive and fulfilling form of family entertainment. When I spoke with the owner of U-Rent-'em Canoes. Mike Hawthorne. I was dismayed by the treatment his business receives from many of Hastings city governmental agencies and city officials. City officials have expressed their displeasure with the business and describe it as an "eye sore” in downtown Hastings. The city refuses police security and is further contemplating access restrictions on the Thomapple River against U-Rent-’em Canoes I think the City of Hastings should re­ evaluate its position concerning this business. These are difficult economic times when most cities are striving to promote their assets in order to bring people and business to the city so that money can be Dumped into the local economy. Did you ever stop to think how many people come to Hastings during a weekend o.- summer from surrounding cities and counties solely for the purpose of canoeing down the Thornapple? Did you ever stop to think how much money is being spent in downtown Hastings by these visitors fo’- such things as food and gas? In my opinion, L'-Rent-’em is definitely promoting the Hastings area and is a positive note for the local businesses. Since rely.

PUBLIC OPINION". byKenPeibel THIS WEEK’S QUESTION: The Hastings City Council recently decided not to spend the money for the mayor and council members to travel to participate in mayor exchange day activities. On the other hand, recent convention trips with all expenses paid were recently approved for the police chief, fire chief and waste water treatment supervisor. Do you agree with these decisions?

Chris Kardas "I don’t really agree with it,” says Don Murdoch, owner of Town and Country Lumber Co., "1 think the more exposure our new mayor can get with other cities in our state will really help him and the city. Our downtown has gone II to devil, maybe we can get some ideas oy travelling to other cities and talking with each other." Mark Anderson of Hastings says “money should not be spent for council members and city officials to go cn trips." He adds that if the city council doesn’t allow such travel, then they should be consistent and not allow it for everyone • I think that if the council allows travel then they should for every body, and not just a few people here and there." says Dann Furrow of Carlton. Joan Foster Agnes Smith Marie Allerding says some conventions are overrated. "As I understand it, for the mayor exchange they just draw names, and I can t see how going to a city that way would help." She says whether an effective ex­ change of ideas would occur depends on "if the mayor was sent to the right place." "I’m not in favor of offering an opinion on the issue of conventions." says Chris Kardas of Hastings "That should be more among the officials to decide." says Kardas. "because we don't know the value of the conventions, and what toes on there ” Joan Foster, executive director of the Hastings Chamber of Commerce, says "I agree that they should spend money to send the police chief, fire chief and waste water treatment supervisor to conver’>od- is Dick Todd well as the mayor and council members.” Foster calls the conferences "a learning experience." “I think the council is playing petty politics, and that they're trying to embarrass the mayor in any way they can." says Agnes Smith of Hastings, and she calls the council's decision not to send the mayor away “shortsighted". "I think the mayor exchange helps promote the town." says Dick Todd of Vermontville. "II they can send other of­ ficials to conventions, then they ought to send the mayor and his representative^ to a mayor exchange also " �I he Hustings Banner — 1 hursday. May 20. 1W«2 — Page 3 Hastings teachers approve one change in their contract by Robert .1. Johnston Hastings teachers have approved one change in their contract with the Board of Education, but will not decide until next week whether to re-open the contract to discuss wage and fringe benefit concessions I he teachers voted Friday to waive a “letter of understanding" attached to their pact Signed in October 1981 for the current school year and the next two years. The letter stipulated that if a millage increase is approved for the 1982-83 and 1983-84 school years, academic class sizes would have a pupil-teacher ratio of 25:1. This stipulation prevented the board from breaking the millage issue into several questions because new revenues raised would first have to be spent to reduce the class size. Monday, the board formally asked the Hastings Education Association to re-open its contract to discuss wage and benefit concessions. I he net effect ot the waiver, approved by the teachers Friday, will be to allow the board to place another millage proposal before the voters without having the contract limit the type of question on (he ballot. The new waiver agreed upon by the teachers does stipulate, however, that until a millage vole is passed for a 25:1 pupil­ teacher ratio, that item must appear on any millage ballot proposal during the course of the contract DeDecker said that a series of meetings will have to be held among the HEA executive committee, the negotiating team and the board of directors to approve re­ opening negotiations for wage and benefit concessions While ii isn't necessary. DeDecker said, he expects that they will also put the question toa vote of the members. DeDecker said II..." decision could come as soon as next week In a statement read to the school board. Monday. DeDecker said the original letter of understanding was designed to insure that more than one millage vote, if necessary, would lie presented to the communitv before the start of the 1982-83 school year witsi the idea that if a millage were to pass, then the academic pupil-teacher ratio would be a maximum of 25:1. He said that unlimited class size < for 198182 > and an 18 month wage freeze were major concessions agreed to by the HEA in the contract. “Because economic, problems were an­ ticipated by the board at the time we were ^IdJedding^ and^n^ag.ementi concluding our negotiations last fall and knowing that a millage had to be passed, a letter of understanding was written as an addition to our contract to provide for the continuation of maximum academic class -size of 25:1," he told the board He said both the association and the school board feel that the community is not ready to pass a millage before the start of school in the fall. DeDecker said that the association asked the board todiscuss waiving the letter "The waiver will allow the board to offer a millage vote when, in their wisdom, they believe it can be successful." DeDecker s statement continued. "Also the design of the ballot will be the sole responsibility of the Dean, first elected in 1980, says he wants to run again because “I really enjoy it. I like the challenge and there are a lot of projects ready to start U.M I'd like to see finished. 1 have a couple of pet projects.

Bowerman-Walton exchange vows at Charlton Park Church The historic Charlton Park Church was the setting for the April 17 wedding uniting Martha Walton and Fred (Fntz) Bowerman Jr. Rev. Steven Reid performed the double ring ceremony before 150 guests. Dr. and Mrs. John Walton of Hastings are parents of the bride and the groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bowerman Sr., of Middleville. The church was bedecked with silk flower bouquets of white roses, daisies and baby's breath marking each pew They were made by the bride and her sister Ruth Walton. The front of the church was decorated with candelabra and flowers, and spring flowers lined the alter rail. Upon arriving the guests were greeted with dulcimer music by the Rascals of Byron Center, and Linda Peterson played the traditional wedding music on the antique pump organ. The bride wore her mother's 1950's wed­ ding gown of candlelight satin, imported chantilly lace and net. The gown was fashioned with a bouffant skirt terminating in a cathedral train. Lego-mutten sleeves of matching lace and net distinguished the fitted bodice. A cathedral length veil of venise lace secured her camelot head piece Classrooms were designed and built with this ratio in mind " DeDecker said that because of this com­ mitment to ti e individual child and to the curricular philosophy of the community, the Ixiard and association have been working together toward retaining the 25:1 academic class size. "As incoming president of the Hastings Education Association." he continued. “I wish to extend an invitation to the com­ munity to work together to help the board and association regain, maintain, and initiate educat ion and curricular goals which will benefit the future of our children in Hastings."

Because of the new apportionment plan, hewill beseekingthedistrict three seat which will include both of those townships plus most cf Hastings Township. Bernard Hammond is seeking the Democratic nomination for the same district in the August primary. Bishop- Winebrenner engagement told board. However, because the board and association both believe that the individual child is most important and should be en­ titled Io as much individual attention -s possible in the classroom, we have agreed to include Jhe pupil-teacher ratio of 25:1 in any millage request for the next two years." DeDecker said the reason for this stems back to the community's commitment for a smaller class size. The Hastings community has held to that philosphy for the past 12 years he said. "The curriculum designed by the com­ munity and schools when our new high school was being planned was based on the concept of 25:1 pupil-teacher ratio." he continued.

Mas 20. 1982 — Page 5 Delton millage Ciass revives old-time school for Michigan Week observance continued from pg. 1 99 teachers, eight administrators, and 2.161 students Overall, that’s an m percent delcine in the teaching staff, a decline of 20 percent in the administrative level, and an 11 percent drop in student enrollment So cuts have exceeded the ratio of declining enrollment." he said. Baker said since 1971, there has been an extensive shift in financing education which has meant dwindling state aid to schools and more responsibilities passed on to local property taxpayers He said that in 1971. state aid to Delton represented 69.5 percent of operational funds and and properly taxes 30.49 percent By 1981. state aid comprised 46.44 percent and property taxes 53.55 percent He anticipates the shift this year to be larger with 38.4 percent state aid and 61.6 percent property taxes. Baker said extensive budget cuts were made last year in the elementary school, middle school, high school, and co-curricular activities. One central administrative position also was eliminated. He said there will be additional cuts even if the June 14 millage passes. Areas to be cut have not been determined, he said. An open forum to discuss the proposed millage is planned, but no date has been set yet. Delton's current operational millage is 27.1 mills. If voters approve waiving the Headlee amendment, the district will be allowed to levy all of its previously allocated and extra voted millage. If the additional millage is approved, taxpayers would pay an extra $1.50 for each $1,000 of their state equalized valuation. For example, a person owning a $40,000 home with an SEV of $20,000 -ould pay and ad­ ditional $30 in school taxes Voters also will be electing two members to the Delton Board of Education next month. Patricia A. Fales is unopposed as a can­ didate fo- a four year term. Phillip B Stott, also unopposed, is seeking election to fill the remaining one year of the unexpired term of Donald Roberts who resigned when he moved out of the district. By Elaine Gilbert Books were banished Wednesday as well desks, papers, pencils, and ditto lessons in Hie fourth grade classroom of Mrs. Mary Youngs at Central School Annex. However, that didn't mean education went by-theboards too. For the day. Mrs. Youngs transformed the classroom into a one-room school with an old-fashioned twist in conjunction with Michigan Week and the students completion of a study unit on the stale s history. Students sat on long benches and wrote with chalk on individual slates instead of using desks, pencils, and paper The modern-day clock was covered with construction paper for the day as the students enjoyed a trip back in time. Memorization lessons were part of the oldtime curriculum and studies were conducted in small groups to simulate tne learning style of one-room schools when older students helped their younger counterparts. Most of the students even changed their attire for the day. Many girls wore long dresses and one lad wore a pair of knickers. Mrs. Youngs added to the old-fashioned atmosphere by wearing a long white dress and pinafore-style apron. ls A bucket of water and a dipper served as the drinking fountain for the day Each child had a cup to fill. The cafeteria also was off-limits on Wednesday and lunch boxes and bags were banned too. As in yesteryear, the students all ate the same lunch which featured homecanned fruits and jellies, and bread and cookies the students had baked with their teacher's help the day before. Modern toys and playground equipment were taboo at recess too. Instead, the children enjoyed using soccerballs and toy cars and playing games like "Red Rover” at recess. A dunce cap and stool added the finishing touch to the old-time flavor of the room. Seated on long benches. 4th greaders enjoy using chalk and slates instead of pencils and paper as Teacher Mary Youngs gives the lesson.

Johnston U.S. Congressman Howard Wolpe addresses Barry County Democrats at the annual Truman-Johnson Dinner. (Banner photo) County candidates attending Saturday's Democratic dinner included (from left) Lou Hamel, Bernard Hammond. Warren Arnold, Franklin (Ping) Beckwith, Rae Hoare, Paul Fiel, Larry Raffler and James Gordon. (Banner photo) U.S. Sen. Carl Levin told Barry County Democrats. Saturday, that their party must find alternatives to Republican policies if they expect to win back voters in November. Levin spoke to 100 people attending the county’s annual Truman-Johnson Dinner at the Emmanuel Episcopal Parish House. His speech followed an address by Third District Congressman Howard Wolpe. Reading from a recent nationwide poll, he reported that while Republicans have lost a substantial portion of their gains posted among voters in 1980, the Democrats have not yet won those voters back. "What this pollster is reporting." he said, "is the loss of support for Republicans is not yet a shift in support for the Democrats." “The lesson is clear," he continued, "we’ve got to be worthy of winning. When President Reagan says that Democrats should put up or shut up, he's right." He said that Democrats cannot simply criticize Reagan's programs, they must have a program of their own. The junior first-term senator from Michigan said that the Federal deficit must be reduced while preserving useful domestic programs. “We've got to do a number of painful things, politically," Levin said. "We’ve got to defer the tax cut scheduled for 1984." He said that members of Congress do not like to vote against a tax cut and do not like to vote against defense spending. "Just eight (senators) voted against that record defense budget," Levin reported, including himself among the eight. Levin said the new defense budget is higher in constant dollars than any since the Korean war. “I found it incredible that we have such a huge increase in defense," he continued. “There are enough dispensible low priority items that we coultThave cut $5 billion from the increase." Levin said that 1982 is going to be a Democratic year, but not for the right reasons. He said the Reagan administration has a host of broken promises, starting with the state of the economy. "We were promised a social safety net and instead given a sieve," he charged. Levin said that the New Federalism is not so much new federalism, but old favoritism. While the Midwest and Northeast areas of the country were cut by $100 per person in federal spending under the Reagan program, he said, the South broke even and the West gained $50 per person. The senator said that while Reagan said his program was good for business, it resulted in a record number of bankruptcies. "This will be good year for Democrats if we'll stand for something," Levin challenged the local ptpty faithful. LeVin saiu that people are overconfident on Sen. Dorr’d Reigle’s upcoming re-election campaign. Reigle is going to face an historic high in Republican campaign funds, he said, because Reigle has been too effective as a spokesman for causes the Republicans don’t want. In his speech. Congressman Wolpe challenged the public image the Reagan administration is presenting for its programs and the actual way in which those programs are working. Wolpe said that while the administration is saying its program would lead to new economic recovery, lower deficits and lower federal spending, the program is actually creating more federal spending and the largest deficits in hsitory. “The deficits forecast exceed the total deficits combined ur the past 196 years," he charged. He said that while most people are under the impression that federal spending has been cut across the board and that all areas have sacrificed, the budget actually has shifted money away from domestic programs into the Pentagon. "We’re being told now that it is a continued pattern of spending in domestic social programs that are responsible for increased deficits," he said. He challenged this by pointing out that Reagan first cut revenues by $750 billion over five years, but only cut domestic spending by $130 billion over three years. The other part of the problem, he said, is the vast expansion of the defense budget by billions of dollars. The defense budget passed last Friday by the Senate will increase spending by $48 billion for defense in one year. Wolpe noted. "(With these programs) there is noway we can bring down interest rates and get people . oack to work,’’ he said. "We’ve got to go back and reconsider some of the parts of the . program that have not done the job. The impact of the program has been the greatest economic downturn since the Great , Depression." Wolpe said they have always known they could fight inflation by putting people out of work. "There’s no secret to fighting inflation on the backs of the unemployed,’’ he said. Reagan's combined tax cuts and benefit cuts take resources from the low and middle income people and give them to the wealthiest people in society, he said. Wolpe said that in his Atlantic Monthly interview Reagan Budget Chief David Stockman called the supply side economic theory another termK for the Republican trickle down theory. . "Any you know who’s being trickled on,” he said. He said that while people with incomes below $23,000, which is roughly 60 percent of the population, will lose $18.8 billion under the Reagan program, people with incomes above $47,800, or roughly six and one-half percent of the population, will gain $9.2 billion. Wolpe said the principle effect of Reagan's program is to take dollars from Michigan, Indiana, Ohio and the Northeast and give them to the Southwest, where he said Reagan is viewed as a big spender. The second term Democrat said that his recently proposed National Oil Profit Sharing Tax would limit the ability of states with energy resources to treat them as their own products. The taxation and benefits, ought to flow to all states, he said. ' His proposed national tax on oil. he con­ tinued. would take the revenue and allocate it on a basis of need for economic develop­ ment. “We can begin to get some of Michigan's tax dollars coming back to the state," he said. While his proposal faces an uphill battle in Congress, he continued, the net effect would be only six slates would be losers and 44 states would be winners. Wolpe said that one result of the poor economy in the state is that people are beginning to becom-' interested in policies. His first year in Congress, he said, he received 200 letters a week, while last week he received 1,400 letters. He called Reagan’s program radical in that it is trying to undo some of the basic ★ NOTICE * HOPE TOWNSHIP The proposed zoning ordinance will be considered by the Town­ ship Board on THURSDAY, MAY 27, 1982 at 7:30 p.m., IF the County Approves it on May 24, 1982.

"The long term future will again be op­ timistic," he predicted "The Democratic Party can gel us back on track." In his opening remarks, Wolpe praised the efforts of Barry County Democrats in his election campaigns. Hesaid that while Barry County has the most consistent Republican voting pattern of any of the counties in the Third Congressional District, he lost the county by only 53 votes in the midst of the Reagan landslide and “the extraordinarily expensive campaign thrown against me." County Democratic candidates attending the dinner included Lou Hamel, com­ missioner candidate for Johnstown, Assyria, Maple Grove and _a portion of Castleton townships; Bernard Hammond, com­ missioner candidate for Irving, Rutland and a portion of Hastings townships; Warren Arnold, candidate for drain commissioner; Franklin (Ping) Beckwith, commissioner candidate for the city of Hastings and a portion of Hastings township; Rae Hoare, commissioner candidate for Prairieville, Barry and a portion of Orangeville town­ ships; Paul Kiel, commissioner candidate for Orangeville, Baltimore and Hope townships; Larry Raffler, commissioner candidate for Carlton, Woodland and Castleton townships; and James Gordon, commissioner candidate for Thornapple and Yankee Springs townships.

Public will meet, question school board candidates The public will have a chance to meet and question school board candidates during a meet the candidates night, Tuesday, May 25, at 7:30 p.m. in the Hastings High School lecture room. The event, sponsored by the Hastings Education Association, is designed to bring together the eleven candidates vying for three board seats. Because of the large number of candidates, the H.E.A. has chosen a panel discussion format with four basic questions. ThomaS Freridge, chairman of Meet the Candidates night, will serve as moderator. After introductions, candidate^ will be asked to respond to four prepared questions. The questions are: — What constitutes a good education and do you believe Hastings students have been and will be getting that, even with the recent program cuts? — What is needed to get the Hastings schools on a sound financial footing? — If elected, what do you see as your role in determining and administrating school policy? — One of the new board’s first tasks will be to choose a new superintendent. What qualifications and qualities will you be looking for in a superintendent? Candidates will be asked to limit their responses to two minutes, except for the first question, for which three minutes will be allowed. In addition, the public may come forward with their own questions for the candidate of their choice. The H.E.A. says that because the process of questioning is so time consuming, it has asked each candidate to answer seven questions in written form prior to May 20. Each erndidate’s answer will be reproduced verbatim and distributed to the public during the evening. The seven questions, collected from school staff and administrators, and concerned citizens, are: — As a board member, what do you think can be done to stabilize the erratic way that state aid to schools has been allocated and then cut the last two years? — Does the Board of Education have a public relations problem and could Board meetings be used as a format for com­ municating with the public? — Do you think Hastings teachers are overpaid? What do you think is a fair pay scale for teachers? — What priority should be given to Hastings H;gh School remaining an ac­ credited school when cuts in staff, services, and curriculum are being made? — How do you feel about the Board ac­ cepting donations for sports when textbooks are outdated, library, counceling and nur­ sing services are cut, and elementary physical ed, art and music are cut? Does our present policy affect the board's credibility? — Why do you think that the millage failed? What suggestions could you make to help another one succeed, or do you believe we should skip another millage election and operate or what we have? — When and if more money becomes available, in what order of priority would you reinstate lost programs and services? In addition to the above questions, can­ didates are asked to expound on other topics they believe need addressing, and their ideas about them. Of the eleven candidates, two have filed for the two years remaining in Dr. John Walton’s term. They are Richard H. Shaw, 604 W. Walnut St., and Judy Sharp, 2744 W State Rd. Filing for two four-year seats currently held by William Cotant and JoAnn Fluke are John Warren. 2275 Ottawa Trail; Larry Haywood. 3200 Solomon Rd.; H. Michael Trahan, 700S.

The board may also ask voters to put it out of business by voting fixing the millage allocation for a number of years. Since 1958, the board has agreed upon the same allocation of the 15 mills levied in the county. More than 50 of Michigan's 83 counties have fixed millage allocations. Final approval is expected to be given at the hearing. Thursday, May 27 at 1:20 p.m. in the Board of Commissioners room for the millage allocation as it currently stands: County — 5.87 mills; schools — 8.0; in­ termediate school district — .13; and townships — 1.0. James Gordon, chairman of the county commission's Finance Committee and an allocation board member, said that the question of raising an extra half-mill for road maintenance was discussed at the board's May 17 meeting and will be placed on the agenda for the May 27 hearing. Township officials have requested an increase for a number of years, he said. An ad hoc committee of representatives from the townships, schools and county will be formed to study the problems of road maintenance. Gordon said. "We will revise an ad hoc committee to look into the long range concern for roads in a rural county like Barry County," he said.

Outdoor Report found on page 10 John Karpinski has found success in all of his athletic endeavo. s, but he admits football holds special significance. The Hastings High School senior and starting quarterback for the Saxons for the past three years, has decided he will play football at Saginaw Valley State College on an athletic scholarship. “Ever since I was a little kid my goal has been to someday play college football," Karpinski said. "I am blessed with an athletic family and parents who have backed me all the way.” Karpinski's father. Bill, is the assistant principal and athletic director at* Hastings High, and a former football coach. His final year of football coaching was his son’s sophomore season. Karpinski was a starting quarterback that season and helped lead the Saxons to an appearance in the Michigan High School Athletic Association football playoffs. “That is probably the highlight of my high school football career," Karpinksi said. "We were undefeated, we got to play in the playoffs and I was playing under him (Mr. Karpinski)." John said he chose Saginaw Valley because of financial reasons, the small campus atmosphere and academics. "Financially it is a good situation for me, and 1 really like the small campus," he said. "The classes I look here seemed to fit in well academically too." As far as football is concerned, John was recruited to play wide receiver, Saginaw Valley Defensive Coordinator Stexe Reese said Wednesday. "I know Coach Larkin (Jim Larken, head football coach) recruited him personally and was very high on him,” Reese said. "He has good speed and is a good all around athlete We were looking for somebne that can get down the field and get outside. Coach Larkin seems to think John is our man." John said in his own mind he hasn’t ruled out the possibility of playing quarterback, but if they want him to be a wide receiver he will be just as happy playing there. "I’m going to work on the weights, my speed, catching passes and report in good shape," John said. "They said they like to pass up to 50 percent of the time. It looks like 1 might be on the other end this time." The 5 ft. 9 inch. 160 pound speedster, ad­ mits his size had something to do with his going to a larger college to play football. "The positions 1 think I can play, size is not always a factor," he said. "I’m confident I can play college football and I’m glad they want me.” If high school football statistics can be used as a measuring stick for college football ability, John carries some impressive credentials. As. a prep quarterback he rolled up 2,032 yards passing and 1,035 yards rusning. He scored 23 touchdowns, twice scoring five in single games and passed for IP more. In his senior season he connected on 43 of 80 passes for 762 yards and six touchdowns. In addition, he ran for 367 yards on 54 carries and scored nine touchdowns. In the three years he quarterbacked the Saxons they were 20-8, including one trip to the playoffs, a Twin Valley Championship and a second place league finish. "He is one of the best football players I have ever coached," Saxon head football coach Don Folmar says. Gal thinclads gearing up for Twin Valley tourney The Hastings Saxons girls track team will take an 6-1 Twin Valley record and a 10-1 overall record into the conference match at Sturgis on May 26, as a result of a 9i-32 season ending victory over Coldwater Wednesday. The Saxons took first in 11 events in making the Cardinals their tenth victim of the year. A sweep in the relay events and a double win from distance runner Shelley Bell keyed the victory. This is the second year in-a-row that Pat Murphy’s charges have fashioned 6-1 Twin Valley marks. The results for Wednesday's meet wen.: Saxons tuneup for districts Hastings pitcher Gary Rosenberger settled down after a shaky start and helped himself with his bat as the Saxons defeated Jackson Northwest 8-6 Tuesday. Jackson jumped to a 4-2 lead early after an Ed Keenan triple and a Scott Mack homerun, but Rosenberger settled down after the third inning and finished the game out. In the sixth he helped himself with his bat knocking in a pair of runs to tie the score. It was the Saxons second victory of the season over Jackson, and may have spoiled their bid for a Twin Valley title. The Saxons drew first blood in the game only to fall behind. Dann Howitt put Hastings up by two in the first with a single that scored a pair of runs, but Jackson answered in the second and third inning to move on top 4-2. The score stayed that way until the fifth inning when Stu Spyker and Bruce Meyers each singled in runs to tie the game at 4. But Jackson tallied two more and went ahead again heading into the sixth. Mark Larsen started off the Hastings sixth with a single. He moved to second on a Drew Howitt sacrifice and after Bruce Anderson walked moved over to third on a Bruce Martin ground ball. With runners on second and third Reosenberger slashed a base hit and the score was tied again. John Karpinski then singled in the lead run and scored later on an error. "Once Gary started throwing the ball hard he did a good job," Saxon coach Bernie Oom said. "We came back and I always like to see that." The win moved the Saxons to 5-4 in the Twin Valley, and dropped Jackson to 10-3 in league play. Sturgis, who boasts just one loss, comes into town Friday looking to wrap a title up. Tonight the Saxons travel to Caledonia for a district qualifier battle. Game time is set for 4:30 p.m. If the Saxons win they move on to pre­ district action and Oom is one step away from coaching victory number 200. The 17 year veteran coach has 198 career coaching wins going into tonight’s game. Saxons qualify for pre-district Sheri Johncock and Carri Dunn each collected three hits and Sheri Blair tossed a three hitter to ’ead the Hastings softball team to an 8-1 win in a district qualifier battle, Wednesday. The win sends the Saxons on to pre-district competition on Friday, May 28, at Allegan. A victory there would qualify the Saxons for the district tournament at Wayland on Saturday, June 5. The Saxons pounded out 10 hits in collec­ ting their eight runs Tuesday. Johncock was three for four with a homer and two singles, and Dunn was three for three, all singles. Both players knocked in a run. Teresa Maurer had two singles for the Saxons And drove in two runs, and Dee Lowell and Paula Atkinson each chipped in with RBI singles. Blair went the distance on the mound striking out six hitters and walking three. She also added a pair of singles to the Hastings hitting attack. On Friday Lhe Saxons will play a doubleheader at Sturgis, and then entertain Harper Creek on Tuesday, wrapping up the regular season. Golfers tum in best outing of year The Hastings High School golf team turned in their best outing of the year with a 199 score dropping two opponents in tri-dual action Tuesday. The Saxons carded better than Twin Valley foes Marshall and Harper Creek. Marshall turned in a 215 score and Harper Creek turned in at 245 on the Hastings Country Club course. Saxon coach Bob Carlson called the tridual the "best effort of the year”. The Twin Valley wins moved the Saxons to 4-3 in the league, in third place heading into the conference match at Coldwater on Monday, May 24. Tracy Wallin turned in Lhe best Saxon score with a 48, and Barb Colvin and-Lisa Brownell both carded 49's. Wendy Fowler’s 53 rounded out the Saxon effort. On Thursday, May 13, the Saxons split a pair of non-conference matches. They topped Caledonia 209-237, but lost to Charlotte at 193. Colvin turned in the top Saxon score with a 50. Wallin and Brownell both carded 52’s and Fowler and Deb Dykstra each came in with 55’s. Hastings to host baseball district Eleven teams will battle this week and next in qualifying and pre-distirct rounds to determine the final four that will meet at Hastings High on Saturday, June 5, for the District 26 Class B baseball tournament. The eleven teams that have a shot at making it to Hastings include the host Saxons, anci area squads from DeltonKellogg High, Lakewood High and Caledonia High. Rounding out the field are Allegan.

John was recently named to the west team for the MHSAA Coaches* Association AllStar Game in August, adding that honor to a long list of other honors. Among those Reminder All-County honors, All-Twin Valley recognition, and all state honorable mention. John also contributed to the basketball and basebail programs at Hastings High. He was a starter on the winningest Hastings High basketball team ever as a junior. That team won a Twin Valley Championship enroute to an 18-4 season. He was also a starter on the basketball team this past year that captured a district crown before being ousted by the eventual Class B state champion Okemos Chieftans. Currently be is winding up his third year as a starting shortstop for the baseball Saxons. John said Saginaw Valley has mentioned they would allow him to play baseball and miss spring football is he wishes. “They are leaving it up to me, but even if I did play baseball, it would be third in im­ portance,” he said. "I want to concentrate on football and academics and see what hap­ pens from there." John singles out his high school coaches, his teachers, his friends and his family for thanks in helping make his prep career happen. “There are a lot of people to tha-'k,” he said. "I have a lot of really good friends, teachers and coaches. They have all helped me and I owe a lot to them."

Favorable action of the society’s mem­ bership upon the request to replace the plaque is expected at the June meeting of the society, according to a historical society news release. The plaque read: “This block of brick paving is the only extant portion of Hastings’ first major street improvement project completed in 1907 as the result of the initiative of Dr. George W. Lowery, elected mayor in 1906. The fine condition of this surface after seven decades of constant usage testifies to the excellent workmanship of the craftsmen responsible for its con­ struction." In February. 1976, the Hastings City Council designated the block as a city historical site and the marker was dedicated in September. The large handsome stone was obtained by Chester Stowell irom the gravel pit of the Barry County Road Commission. Wayne Forman of Patten Monument Co. completed the stone refinishing work. A capsule containing information about the street and the history of the marker was buried beneath the stonels foundation. Florabelle Stowell was very act’ve in the Barry County Historical Society for many years among her other numerous interests and pursuits. She was a native of Irving Township and a graduate of Hastings High School and Barry County Normal School. She m -rhonls in Barry. Kalamazoo and Campfire carnival features “I love Campfire” theme Jackson counties. In 1960, she received her bachelor’s degree from Western Michigan University after continuing her college education. Mrs. Stowell organized the first4-H Club in Bvry County and was a leader and organizer of Michigan State University Extension Clubs for years. She was the first woman to serve on the Barry County Planning Commission Through her efforts in the historical society, the former post office building now houses the Hastings Public Library. She was past president of the Hastings Women s Club and a member of the United Methodist Church. The conservation of natural resources claimed her attention and energies for a long period of time. As a regional officer of the Michigan Federation of Garden Clubs, she lectured throughout southwestern Michigan on the promotion of conservation. She was personally active in gardening and was a member of theThomapple Garden Club. Her two favorite gardening topics, “Herbs of the Bible", and the "Scented Herb Garden", were the subject of the lectures throughout the entire state. Chester Stowell, surviving husband of Florabelle Stowell, has continued her long time interest in historical projects. He has contributed a sum c.' money to Charlton Park Village to build a “spring house", a familiar smal I building on farms of yesteryear used to refrigerate food supplies during hot summer months. Plans for the spring house are on the drawing board al Charlton Park. HEA names new officers Twenty-two games, including a popular dunk lank, entertained youth of varying ages at the Barry County Council of Campfire's annual carnival Saturday.

The officers start their service for the HEA on July 1. All the ruffled grouse needs is a base player and a horn player and the forest portions of Barry County would have a mean three piece combo. The male of the species climbs upon a hollow log to use as his amplifier and beats his breast with his wings each spring. He does it to attract females, starting slowly and gradually increasing the cadence. At times it sounds like a drummer beating on a drum in the distance, the Department of Natural Resources says. The ruffled grouse, also known as a par­ tridge or pat, is a forest dwelling bird that is found throughout Michigan. They are most common in the aspen forests of the northern lower peninsula, but a few can be found m Barry County. In addition to having the beat, the ruffled grouse is known as a fast flier.

Johnston Board member Judy Lenz checks on another name on the list of 31 teachers to be laid off at the end c* this school year. Hastings teachers ,oted, Thursday, against opening their contract to consider wage and benefit concessions. The teachers are scheduled to receive 9.3 percent wage increases in each of the next two school years covered by the three year agreement signed last fall. The teachers were asked, last month, by the Hastings Area Board of Education to open their contract. Secretaries were also asked to open their contract for wage and benefit concessions and they, too, refused. "At the time our present contract was negotiated, the Board of Education was fully aware of the financial difficulties of this district and the need fa- increased millage," Mariam Sorby, president of the Hastings Education Association (HEA), said in a statement released Tuesday at the school board meeting. Richard Guenther, superintendent of schools, said Wednesday that the contract would never have been negotiated with a 9.5 percent increase had the board thought the economy was not going to turn around. "The board and the teachers both thought that by this spring (the economy) would turn around," Guenther said. "It didn’t. It wor­ sened. I can’t accept that statement. They didn’t know it al the state level or the federal level, last fall. If the board knew this, then the board should be running the country, because no one else knew." Guenther also said that at the time the contract was negotiated it was a good con­ tract. "The responsibility for funding education rests with the State of Michigan and with the taxpayers of the district, not school em­ ployees,'' Sorby’s statement said. She said that school operational millage has been 26.510 mills since 1970, while in the same 12-year period the cost-of-living has Increased more than 100 percent. School records show that the state equalized valuation of property in the district was at about $57.5 million in 1970 and has increased nearly two and one-half times that amount to an estimated $141 million for 1982. This has raised the local amount of tax revenues for the schools from $1.5 million In 1970 to a projected $3,?37,600 in 1982. also about two and one-half times the 1970 amount. State aid during that time has only doubled, from $341.01 per student to $688.05 per student. This has reduced the state’s share of the district budget from 47.63 per­ cent in 1970 to 37.65 percent in 1982. “At 26.510 mills our school district ranks in the bottom 12 percent for operational levies of all the districts in the state," Sorby said. Sorby's statement also said that because of the district’s financial difficulties the teachers, at the negotiating table, accepted an 18-month wage freeze which the teachers are still living under. The teachers last received a wage increase through a “cost-cf-living adjustment" (COLA) in their last contract in March of 1981. Sorby told the board that under their new contract, the teachers gave up contract language required full cost-of-living .adjustments for teachers. "We waived class size language resulting in the loss of 28 classroom teachers which increased the teacher workload as much as 28 percent per class," she said. Sorby said that 19 teachers were lost in the past two years due to elimination and reduction in programs and they are now facing layoff of 11 more teachers due to further program cuts. The combined loss of 58 teachers, she said, represents a 31 percent reduction in total staff over three years. School statistics show that during that three year period, the number of students in the system dropped 368, from 3,648 to 3,280. Using the 25 to 1 student-teacher ratio which had been maintained, this would have ac­ counted for the loss of 14 of the 58 teachers. "Through wage concessions and negotiations since 1977,” Sorby continued, "the teachers have saved the district $750,000." Thomas Maurer, incoming HEA finance chairman and a past salary chairman, ex­ plained that this figure represented the total amount of money given up by the teachers from changes in the pay dates, from taking only the COLA increases above five percent from 1977-78 through 1980-81, from freezing extra duty pay scales, reducing COLA in­ creases to add a dental pian and reducing COLA increases to pay their own retirement plan. As Maurer explained the calculations, the savings is compounded by the amount the teachers did not take in COLA increases, which would have raised the amounts of future increases. Maurer noted that all of these contract agreements were arrived at through negotiations with the board. Sorby said that another $93,900 reduction in salaries was realized through elimination of added assignments and extra duties, in­ cluding the use of volunteers for previously paid jobs. "During one year," she said, "it is estimated that teachers personally pur­ chased supplies and equipment worth ap­ proximately $16,600 for their classrooms." She also said that teachers made a cash donation during the last contract of $26,800 to fund education programs. “We believe that these actions clearly demonstrate our professional commitment to quality education and to the boys and girls we teach," Sorby said. She said the HEA was willing to assist in any millage efforts and tu meet with the board to discuss early retirement, job sharing and voluntary layoff as ways of further reducing operational costs. Guenther said that after the board's final budget hearing in June, he will ask the board to pursue those additional suggestions by the teachers. "If there are some ways of saving ad­ ditional money, we’ll be glad to hear them,’’ he said. “We had some preliminary discussions (on these) within the past year.** He said he had no projections of the amount of money that could be saved by implementing these ideas.

Johnston The state attorney general has been asked for an opinion to clear up some legal tangles if recall petitions are filed against members of the Hastings City Council. The Barry County clerk's office reported last week that recall petitions had been taken out for some council members. Now have yet been fi’ed. “S»nce the city has recently redistricted as a result of its reapportionment plan based on the 1980 census,” Richard Shaw, city at­ torney, said in a letter to the mayor and council members, “legal questions arise as to the proper procedure to be followed for circulating recall petitions and subsequent voting....’’ Shaw’s letter notes two state laws that govern recall petitions. One law says that a petition cannot be filed against an official until the official has served in office for six months. The other says that recall petitions must be signed by registered voters equal to 25 percent of the number of votes cast for candidates for governor in the last general election in each district. Under the redistricting of the city wards, approximately 400 voters have been changed from the First Ward to the Second and Third Wards. Those voters have already been notified of the change in wards and the city registration records have also been changed. Shaw said that this leaves questions as to what wards, the old or the new, are to be used for recall petitions and elections. If the new wards are to be used, it would be difficult to determine the number of signatures needed for recall petitions, because the only records of the last general election are from the old wards, he said. If the old wards are used, he said, then the city would not be complying with the con­ stitutional provision for one-man, one-vote and a state statute that requires election districts have nearly equal population areas. Donna Kinney, city clerk, said that if the old wards are used, then holding a recall election could mean that all of the voters which received notification of their new wards would have to be notified again, and all of the registration books would have to be changed b^ck to the old wards. After the recall election the process might have to be (reversed, she said. “There are no guidelines," she said. Kinney said that a citywide election costs about $2,000 for supp’ ies, workers and having the election certified by the county Board of Canvassers. She said she couldn’t estimate the cost of changing the records to the old wards, then back to the new. Shaw said that he was not clear if the sixmonths in office limitation on recalling elected officials means that those officials who have not served for six months cannot be recalled for actions taken during their first six months in office. The recall effort was beeun after the council on May 28 unanimously overturned Mayor Kenneth J. Howe's veto of a nine percer increase in water rates. Council members David Jasperse (Fourth Ward), Gordon Bennett (Second Ward) and Mary Spackman (First Ward) all began serving their terms on Jan. 1. Patrick Vaughan (First Ward), though he was ap­ pointed to fill an unexpired term last year, also began serving his first elected term on Jan. 1. Shaw said that through the Barry County prosecutor’s office, he has requested an advisory opinion from the state attorney general. "The state Election Commission won’t give us anything in writing on how to conduct a recall,” be added. The Hastings Board of Education Tuesday night released a list of 31 teachers to be laid off at the end of the current school year. The notice came as no surprise to those individuals losing their jobs, according to' Richard Guenther, superintendent of schools. He says the laid off teachers were individually notified May 17, but not collectjvely. A roll call vote was taken on each of the 31 names as an anxious crowd looked on. When the final yea was tallied, Guenther com­ mented "We're losing some very, very superior teachers and human beings here. This necessary action is regrettable, to say the least, and in my judgement it's a very sad day for this school district and this community.’’ In other board action, the board unanimously agreed to a proposal to borrow $1,929 million to cover operating costs until state aid payment and winter taxes are paid. About $420,000 of the loan is needed because of a delay in state aid for this month. Most of the money will be borrowed from the National Bank of Hastings at about 15 percent interest, according to Guenther. State law prohibited two members, William Ba..ter and Robert Gross from voting on the issue. Both men are on the board of directors of the National Bank of Hastings.

Mother of Indy 500 winner dies in Hastings by Greg Johnson Mrs. Frances L. Johncock, 77, of 1521 N. Michigan Ave., the mother of Gordon Johncock, the winner of Sunday's In­ dianapolis 500, died on Monday at her residence following a lengthy illness. She died just hours after her son won for the second time at Indy, becoming the 11th multiple winner of the event. Johncock left a traditional post race celebration to fly to his mother’s bedside. Services were held today (Thursday) at 1 p.m. at Leonard Osgood & Wren Funeral Home of Hastings. Rev. Kenneth R. Vaught officiated with burial in Riverside Cemetary. She was bom in Hastings on July 17. 1904, the daughter of Willia.m and Mary (Schram) Bennett. A lifelong resident of Ha tings, she attended Hastings schools and graduated from Hastings High in 1922. For 23 years she was employed as supervisor of bookkeeping for the Hastings City Bank, retiring in 1969. In addition, she was a longtime supervisor of volunteers at Pennock Hospital. She is survived by her nationally known son, a resident of Coldwater; one daughter Mrs. Hervey (Janice) Hilliker of Hastings; eleven grandchildren, two great grand­ children; two sisters, Mrs. Hilda Matthews of Venice Fla., and Mrs. Onna Leins of Battle Creek. She was preceded in death by four sisters. Memorial contributions may be made tc Pennock Hospital. Her 46-year-old son has become one of the most consistent drivers in racing history, finishing in the lop nine at Indy 10 times. According to Banner records his racing career blossomed as early as i960 when he began winning races at the Jackson and Lansing speedways. In 1965 he was honored by Hastings with a key to the city for his fifth place finish in his first Indianapolis 500. On Sunday he earned the highest Indy purse in history, picking up more than $290,000 for the Patrick Racing Team. Race officials called his narrow victory over Rick Mears the closest Indianapolis 500 in history. His sister, Mrs. Hilliker said that Gordon and his mother were very close. “She had been sick for a long time and we knew it was going to happen," Mrs. Hilliker said. "Gordon told her he would win the race for her." County tax allocation board decides to seek extra half mill for roads By Elaine Gilbert The Barry County Tax Allocation Board has decided to ask voters to approve an additional half-mill in taxes for roads and freeze county allocated millage for five years. The tax allocation board voted May 27 to petition the county board of commissioners to place a request for an additional half-mill tax for roads on the November general election ballot The proposal also would ask voters to freeze current tax allocations at 8-mills for schools; 5.87-mills for the county; 1-mill (plus the extra ,5-mill) for townships; and .13-mill for the intermediate school district. If voters approve, the millage would be ef­ fective from 1983-87 inclusive. Passage of that proposal would mean that the county tax allocation board would be put "out of business" until the spring of 1988. Since 1958, the allocation board has agreed upon the same allocation of the 15 mills levied in the county and took the same action last week for 1982: schools, 8-miils; county. 5 87-mills; townships, 1-mill; and in­ termediate school district. 13-mill. The board decided to seek an additional half-mill for roads after townships pressured for a bigger slice of the present millage already levied in the county. In discussion before the vote, Richard Shaw, allocation board member, said "The townships are not going to get another half­ mill from this board. We’re not going to take away (millage, from someone else (to do it). I’d rather put it on the ballot." Shaw also said that by freezing the millage for five years, “it would dissolve the friction the board creates between governmental Continued on page 12 Memorial to veterans dedicated.

Also taking part in the dedication were host Fred Wiselogle and Village President Steve Secor "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." from John 15:13. Those are the words on a bronze plaque placed over the door of the Chapel on the Jordan in Veterans Park. Lake Odessa. The newly constructed chapel that was dedicated to the village of Lake Odessa on Memorial Day. is a tribute to veterans of the Vietnam War. Police Chief Glenn Desgranges and friends of the Police Department donated labor, materials and money to build the chapel. The 10 foot by 20 foot structure has antique church pews, a communion rail, a podium and a cross shaped window. A large crowd turned out to see Desgranges present the key for the chapel to Lake Odessa Village President Steve Secor Monday. Fred Wiselogle served as the host of the dedication ceremony, and the Lakewood High School Band provided the music. The Reverand George Speas presented the in­ vocation, and Father Louis Baudone offered the benediction. Carl Behnke presented a flag, Mike Smith layed a cornerstone and the VFW offered a taps and gun salute to the ceremony. As par' of the ceremony, Desgranges presented a plaque bearing the name of Charles Moe. Jr., of the US. Marine Corps, the only citizen of Lake Odessa to die in the Vietnam War. The Charles Moe. Sr., family orginally purchased Veteran s Park from the State Highway Department and deeded it to the village. The park is a tribute to all veterans. Desgranges. a police officer in Lake Odessa for 21 years, said he decided to build the chapel because of his involvement with Vietnam veterans and their problems through his police work "The 1960’s were a time of unrest and I dealt with those kids then, and their families when they were in Vietnam." he said. "When they came back they brought drug problems and emotional problems with them, and I was involved with them even more." Desgranges said he felt it was his duty to work with them. "I remember when my brother came home from World War II. He was a hero," Desgranges added. "These kids have never been treated like heroes. ’ Desgranges, who also had a brother that fought in the Korean War, said the grief ‘ is family shared during his brothers' service times, has left a lasting impression. "I remember growing up in Lake Odessa. After World War II, I was impressed by the welcome the vets received," he said. "But 1 also remember meeting the train that brought home those that had died."

Hastings Police recover missing historical plaque, Wednesday Hastings police say they have recovered the bronze plaque missing since April 13 from its stone on Church Street, between State and Apple. Deputy Chief Gordon Trick says the plaque was recovered from an individual's apart­ ment somewhere in Hastings, but he declined to give any details pending further investigation. Barb Furrow, vice president of the Barry County Historical Society was extremely pleased to hear the news about the recovery. “That’s terrific!" she said "We ithe society* felt really bad about it being gone." Furrow said she doesn't know when the plaque will be replaced. The next meeting of the society is June 17 at the Woodland Township Hall. The plaque reads "This block of brick paving is the only extant portion of Hastings' first major street improvement project completed in 1907 as the result of the initiative of Dr. George W. Lowery, elected mayor in 1906. The fine condition of this surface after seven decades of constant usage testifies to the excellent workmanship of the craftsmen responsible for its con­ struction."

Gilson TO THE EDITOR: Our City Council is in need of reform! We need to see what our representatives are doing for us. All of us need to call them and express our views because phone calls are what they said they pay attention to NOT petitions. I am not sure of the proceedure they followed, but I am sure I sat for a few hours on a hard chair only to hear them raise the water and sc er rates without any recon­ sideration! It was pretty clear that it was in opposition to the mayor and not because we needed more funds to pay our commitments. I have always voted in elections so I feel I can accept changes, even if my candidates do not win. I can give the elected ones a chance to see what they can do. I have always thought this was part of our democracy, too! It was missing from the council meeting. We are encouraged to attend council meetings. Right? Wrong!! Why go if your opinion means nothing? You might oetter be home relaxing and let the council raise your taxes whenever they wish. I was there, I witnessed this. I even waited until the vote was taken. The guestion I heard was, “Will a yes vote over­ ride the mayor's vote?” Now, you decide if they were just opposing the mayor or not. I thought the question should have had something to do with water and sewer rates. Please call your council person and call all of the council members. They want to hear from you. Petitions with 1,000 plus signatures do not count. It seems to me there must be a better way to govern our city. A Concerned Citizen Pat McCollum I Hastings Dr. Samuel Scardino Write us a letter! The Hastings Banner welcomes and encourages lelters to the editor as a means of expressing an opinion or point of view on subjects of current general interest. The following guidelines have been established to help you. • Make your letter brief and to the point. • Letter should in­ clude the signature, address and telephone number of the writer. • All letters should be written in good taste. Letters which are libelous or defamatory should not be submitted. We re­ serve the right to reject, edit or make any changes such as spelling and punctuation. Dr. Samuel Scardino, who live ;es in Battle Creek and works at Nu Vision dowtown, thinks the insanity defense is being overused "I think that in nearly every situation where there is obvious guilt, such as with John Hinkley, or John Gacy in the Chicago area, people who have been functioning in society such as Hinkley, who have never been in a mental institution commit a crime where they are obviously guilty, and their defense is insanity,” says Scardino. "I think that is not really the purpose of the insanity­ defense. I think the real purpose is for those situations where people are not really able to be responsible for their actions, and I cer­ tainly don’t think Hinkley falls into that situation. He was a member of society, and mainstreaming in society, until this in­ cident," says Scardino. Tom Parsons of Hastings doubts that Hinkley was insane at the time of the shooting. “He knew where to go, and what time tj be there. I can’t believe he’s crazy," says Parsons. He adds that the insanity defense is being abused in the Hinkley trial, and quite a few other trials as well. "Yes, I do think it is being abused." says Lori Rodriguez, a respiratory therapist at Pennock Hospital. She says "nobody is perfectly sane", and believes that many attorneys are playing off that fact. "And the fact is, Hinkley shot the president, and he is guilty, and should pay for the crime," says Rodriguez. "Everyone that commits a crime claims insanity with very poor reason," says John E. Gilson. "Everybody at times has slight aberrations, but I don’t believe that all these murderers should walk free because they claim to be insane,” says Gilson. Elaine Chapman of Hastings also thinks the defense is being abused. "It’s a means of getting out of a crime," says Chapman. "Yes. The defense is overused." says Allan Huber, a Lansing man temporarily working Tom Price Allan Huber at a Hastings bank. "It's so very difficult to prove insanity. If a good scientific method could be developed to determine mental illness, then mayoe the number of insanity­ pleas would be reduced,” says Huber.” Yes, says Frank Schwartz, a school psychologist for the -Barry County In­ termediate School District. "Psychology as a science is not anywhere near as precise as any of the other sciences," says Schwartz. Many people, he says, are "having a field day taking advantage of the weakness of psychology as a science.” "I don’t know whether it’s the insanity or the attorneys," says Tom Price of Lake Odessa. "It seems like that’s the first Hung they look for— ‘Is the person insane or isn’t he?”’. Price says a person should be liable for his mistakes regardless, but adds "To a point, I suppose the defense is necessary, as long as it isn't overused." Prosecutor comments Prosecutor Judy Hughes Judy Hughes, Barry County prosecutor, says the insanity defense has a proper place but is presently being aoused. She says its use is being broadened "far beyond the scope originally envisioned by legal theoreticians." Hughes says the insanity defense is sup­ ported by the belief that a person should not be held criminally responsible for his actions if he had no criminal state of mind A legally insane person, says Hughes, is one who, as a result of mental illness. ‘ lacks substantial capacity either to appreciate the wrongfulness of his conduct or to conform his conduct to the requirements of the law he is charged with violating." The determination of insanity is based upon the subjective opinions of psychiatric experts, says Hughes. "Because of the potential manipulatory statements of the defendant, the subjectivity of the field and the underlying moral judgement of who should be held accountable for what, either side can choose an expert who is likely to render the opinion he seeks.” Hughes points out that the Michigan Legislature has recognized the potential abuse of the defense and has created a new category called "guilty but mentally ill" to be considered by the jury along with "not guilty by -eason of insanity". The new category, she says, allows the jury to find that the defendant had mental problems but should be held accountable for his actions. Hughes says the abuse of the defense continues, and for the time being "we can only rely on the juries to wade through the opposing psychiatric opinions and decide ultimately whether the defendant should be held criminally accountable for his actions or not.” �The Hastings Banner - Thursday, June 3.1982 - Page Wolpe supports the Farm Crisis Act Special Athletic Boosters meeting set for June 7 Congressman Howard Wolpe is one of four Michigan Representatives to come out in support of the "Farm Crisis Act”.

Michigan Ave. in Hastings �The Hastings Banner - Thursday, June 3,1982 - Page 8 Art Allen Joe Daniel Hugh Fullerton Larry Haywood Diane Hoekstra Anne Hubert Ronald Miller Judy Sharp John Warren Richard Shaw H. Michael Trahan Eleven candidates crowd school board ballot Eleven candidates will be vying for three positions on the Hastings School Board during the June 14 elections. Two of the candidates have filed for the two years remaining in Dr. John Walton’s term. They are Richard Shaw, 604 W. Walnut St. and Judy Sharp, 2744 W. State Rd. The remaining candidates are filing for two four-year seats held by incumbents William Cotant and JoAnn Fluke. The candidates are John Warren, 2275 Ottawa Trail; Joe Daniel, 2892 Bedford Rd.; Larry Haywood, 3200 Solomon Rd.; H. Michael Trahan. 700 S. Cass St. ; Diana Hoekstra, 1740 Jacobs Circle; Ann Hubert, 7 Ironside Dr , Ronald Miller. 1602 N. Broadway; Hugh Fullerton. 1625 W. Green St., all of Hastings; and Arthur Allen, 4290 Fruin Rd., Bellevue. Following are brief biographies of the candidates. They are listed in alphabetical older. Art Allen, 53, has been an area resident for 30 years. He attended Hastings Junior High and High School and graduated from Battle Creek Central High School in 1947. He joined the Iron Workers Local 340 upon graduation, became a journeyman, and subsequently a trustee four years later. He was an iron worker for ten years, and then began farming full-time, which he did until 1979. Since that time, he has operated his own wood business. Allen has five children either in or graduated from the Hastings school system. Allen says he is concerned about kids, books, buildings, and buses, in that order. He feels a 2.5 mill increase is needed for those items, but would not back a proposal for more salaries for school system employees. Joe Daniel, 51, has lived in the Hastings area for 31 years. He is employed at Art Meade’s Auto Sales. Daniel has four children either in or graduated from Hastings High School. Daniels wants quality education fo* the schools, hard economic times not withstanding. ‘It makes a difference how money is spent,” says Daniels, adding “We all know we have to economize, but how we do it is most important." Hugh Fullerton, 43, has lived in Hastings for nearly eight years. He has been in the newspaper business for most of the last 18 years, and he owns and operates five weekly newspapers within 50 miles of Hastings. Fullerton has worked on several newspapers out of the state a§ well. He is a former director and secretary of the Hastings Chamber of Commerce, a Kiwanis board member, and past publisher of the Banner. Fullerton says there should be only one issue in education — “how can we get the most education for the money." He calls for finding ways to make scarce dollars buy more education, and throwing out precon­ ceptions about how schools should be organized or managed. Larry E. Haywood, 35, has been a resident of Barry County for 32 years. He has been a dairy farmer since ’967 on a farm that has been in his family for four generations. He is presently vice chairman of the Barry County Chapter of Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, a member of the Draft Board, a Farmer’s Union member, a member of the Junior High Parent-Teacher Organization, Citizens for Quality Education, and the Committee to Reinstate and Support Vocational Agriculture. He and his wife, Ellen, have four children, ranging in age from 13 years to 18 months. Haywood says a crucial problem facing Hastings schools is how to maintain quality and a balanced budget, and he looks for a return to more basic education, “but not an education lacking in quality." Diane L. Hoekstra. 36, has lived in the Hastings area for 10 years. She attended Michigan State University and is a 1982 graduate of the banking program at Davenport College of Business. Hoekstra currently serves as assistant vice president and auditor of the Hastings City Bank. She is active in Camp Fire, Inc., the First Presbyterian Church, the Hastings Community Fund, and the American Cancer Society. She feels that a “vigorous effort" is needed by every district resident to communicate with state government. "We must let state officials know that education has to be a priority item in this state. Budget cuts can no longer include monies to public education. School board members should be leaders in this communication process.’’ Anne Hubert, 49, has been a Hastings resident for 46 years. She has eight children; five have graduated from college, one is in college, one is a high school junior, and the other is in eighth grade. She is a member of the Barry County Mental Health Board, has served on a YMCA board and a committee, is a high school CCD instructor at St.' Rose Catholic Church, has chaired several fund raising campaigns for school sports, is a past president of the Jaycee Auxiliary, and recently received a 1000 hour award for volunteer work at Pennock Hospital. Hubert says she feels another attempt at a millage vote is, at this time, unadvisable. She also would like to see the attorney general change his ruling on pay to play sports, and feels that he should also allow parents to pay for students' books and supplies. She would like to see volunteer work in sports and academics continue. Ronald R. Miller, 38, is a life-long resident of Hastings. He is a graduate of Hastings High School and a Vietnam War veteran. He has sold insurance for Northwestern Mutual Life for nine years. He is a member of the Hastings Kiwanis, the Chamber of Commerce, and has served on the advisory committee to the school board. He is also vice chairman of the City Planning Com­ mission. He has taught adult education and three years of high school and junior high math. Miller has three children who will be in Hastings schools over the next six years. Miller says that by developing and maintaining a quality education program, Hastings keeps and attracts high quality people in our area rather than lose them to other communities that do emphasize education. He calls a quality educational system "one of many aspects that make an attractive and beneficial environment in which to raise a family." Judy Sharp, 38, is one of two candidates running for the two years left in Dr. John Walton's term. Sharp is a life-long resident of Hastings. She has a master's degree in education from Western Michigan University and has studied at the University of Michigan, Michigan State University, and Kellogg Community College. Sharp was a teacher for nine years in Hastings school system and has served as a substitute teacher in both Hastings and Lakewood schools. She has also served as a private tutor and has been an instructor for adult education courses. She is the former owner of the Calico Cat craft shop and is currently employed as a lab technician in Research and Development at the Amway Corporation. Sharp has two children Lisa, 14, and Robbie, 9. It takes teamwork and skill to win the race at Indy... The race to financial security and success takes much of the same dedication, and the bankers at the National Bank of Hastings have prepared themselves well to help you gain the checkered flag of financial success when you depend on our fine track record for all of your banking needs. Finish a Winner when you Bank on our Team — ATIONAL ANK of ASTINGS Richard Shaw, 42, is one of two candidates running for the remianing two years of Dr. John Walton's term. Shaw, a resident of Hastings for nearly 11 years, is a partner in the Siegel, Hudson, Gee, Shaw, and Fisher law firm. He has three children, ages 18, 17, and 15. One has graduated from Hastings High School. One is a senior and one is a freshman. Shaw is director of the Hastings Rotary Club, director of the Hastings Outdoor Nature Center, twice past president of the Hastings Youth Council, member of the Tax Allocation Board, past president of the Barry County Bar Association, Hastings City At­ torney, former Barry County Association Prosecuting Attorney, member oi the YMCA, director of Hastings Manufacturing Co., director of Hastings Savings and Loan Association, and director of the Barry County Building Authority. “The ability of the community to attract good people in industry, commerce, and the professions is tied directly to the quality of our educational system," says Shaw. “In addition, our young people face a dire future if they are not provided outstanding educational opportunities." H. Michael Trahan, 38, is a six-year resident of Hastings. He has a bachelor's degree in marketing from Ferris State College, and an associate's degree in business from Delta College. He currently works as a product line manager at Hastings Manufacturing Co. Trahan is past president of the Hastings Chamber of Commerce and a member of the board of directors, chairman of the Joint City-County EDC Steering Committee, coach of YMCA soccer and a summer baseball coach. He is also active in the Hastings Athletic Boosters. Trahan says he seeks election because he wants a "quality education for his four children, and all the children of the Hastings Area Schools — at a reasonable cost.” John Warren has lived in the community for six years. He has a bachelor's degree in business administration from Western Michigan University. Warren is viceTresident, part owner, and insurance agent in the Coleman Agency of Hastings. He has served on the Algonquin Lake Community Association Board for two years, serves on the board of directors of the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce, has chaired the Christmas parade, and has co­ chaired the annual SummerFest the last two years. He and his wife, Beverly, have two children, Natasha, in eighth grade, and Alexandra, in fifth grade. If elected, Warren says he wants to rein­ state lost programs and services with the philosophy of trying to achieve a balanced approach to education. Warren calls a good eduation "a tool provider. "Just like a carpenter can’t do his job without toos, without an education, most people cannot perform in society," says Warren. Meet the Candidates Charles Viele Sr. James Bryan George Hubka David Hagon Eight candidates vie for three Maple Valley School Board seats Voters in the Maple Valley School District will have a choice of three candidates who are seeking election to a one-year term on the board of education and five candidates for two four-year seats. A request for a tax renewal of 16.71 mills for one year also will be on the same June 14 ballot. Incumbents Elam Rockwell and Robert Dormer, whose terms are expiring, are not seeking re-election. Candidates for the one-year term to fill the resignation of Wilbur Marsh are David Hagon, James N. Shaw, and Charles Viele Sr. who was appointed to fill the vacancy until the election. David Hagon of 5270 Assyria Rd. has been a resident of the Nashville area for 11 years and has two children in the school system. He owns and operates a swine and crop farm. Hagon feels the “majority’s views have not always been acted upon in the past" and says he will "represent the majority of voters and not individual pressure groups.” Charles E. Viele Sr. of 220 Round Lake Rd. Vermontville is self-employed and has owned an excavating business for 27 years. He has lived his entire life in the Ver­ montville area, graduating from Ver­ montville High in 1943. Viele is married to the former Louise Joppie and they have five children who are all graduates of Maple Valley Schools. Viele has served more than 22 years on the Vermontville Village Council and is currently finishing his 30th year on the Vermontville Fire Dept. He has spent more than 20 years on the Vermontville and Maple Valley school boards and is serving his third six-year term on the Eaton Intermediate School Board. “The education of our children and the future of the Maple Valley District is a vital concern of mine. I am not a politician so I will not tell you that if elected I will solve all the school’s problems. But, if elected, I will, to the best of my ability, work with the other six board members and the school ad­ ministrators to help solve the problems faced by the Maple Valley Schools today,” said Viele. (The newspaper did not receive a response for biographical data from Candidate James Shaw of 10902 Bivens Rd. in Nashville). In the race for the two four-year terms are James Bryan, David Hawkins, George Hubka. Merle Martin, and William Semrau. James Bryan of 3998 S.

He is employed by Hastings Manufacturing Co. for the past nine years as a steam and pipefitter. Bryan’s community activities have in­ cluded scouting, volunteer work with the Red Cross and the Maple Valley Athletic Boosters. “I believe in, in this election as in all elections, the issues are related to the main groups in our school system which are the students, the people, the teachers, the ad­ ministration, and school board. The school board which is the representative of the people to the administration, and the teachers has the responsibility to be open minded and hear all input from all parties concerned with any issue brought before them. This input from any and all has to be weighed and decided upon so as to give the greatest benefit to the education of our children, ’ Bryan said. "I feel that the most important issue in this election is the maintaining of open lines of communication between all groups con­ cerned with the education of our children,” he said. David Hawkins of 9300 Bivens Rd. has lived in the school district since i960. He is 1967 graduate of Maple Valley High School. Hawkins married the former Brinda Garvey and they have two children. Except for a stint with the U.S: Army, Hawkins has worked at Oldsmobile in Lansing since 1967. He presenUy is a skilled trades worker there.

Valley Riverside Recreational Development Corporation. “The times, attitudes, requirements and goals of society are changing and along with that, I feel that our school board must also change — not an all out purge, but a mix of the wise and experienced and the enthusiasm and questions of the novice," he said. “The financial strait jacket that our schools are currently in hasn't happened overnight — and it won’t be cured in six months or a year; it will take time, work and much co-operation and involvement from the parents and citizens of our district,” Hawkins said. George Hubka of 7950 Marshall Rd., Nash­ ville is a 1964 graduate of Maple Valley High School. He has a master s degree in science from Michigan State University. He currently is a teacher in. the Hastings district. “I feel the board must be informed on most issues involving the best ways to provide a quality education for all students while restraining the amount of taxes sought from the voters of the district,” he said. “Many new and untyied ideas can be considered such as shorter school days, driver education range program, and less administration as teacher numbers fall,” said Hubka. Merle Martin of Rt. 1, Vermontville has lived in that community ail of his life. He is a 1953 graduate of Vermontville HIjh School. Martin and his wife, Marlene, have two children.

(Banner photos) Hastings, Michigan Thursday, June 10,1982 Ken Jones resigns as chairman of Parks and Recreation Commission Ken Jones has resigned as chairman of the Porks and Recreation Commission. by Greg Johnson Ken Jones resigned his position as chairman and member of the Barry County Parks and Recreation Commission at a meeting last Wednesday, a letter addressed to the the Barry County Board of Com­ missioners reveals. His resignation of that position coincides with the conclusion of his term as chairman of the Planning and Zoning Commission. “If you are a chairman and you find yourself in the minority all the time, it is time to get out," Jones said Monday. “Being the chairman of both commissions, I found I was not in a position to be effective." Jones said he found himself in the minority during a recent controversy over a zoning change and proposed campground in Charlton Park. “I think it is very necessary to come up with something to help fund the park," Jones said. “I just wanted to make sure the board took a good look at it, studied it and then made a decision.” Jones said he presented his letter to the Parks and Recreation Board after they had voted 6-4 to build a new road providing ac­ cess to 130 acres of land in Charlton Park. "I just don't think the road is needed when they don't have approval for a cam­ pground," he said. Alice Boucher, secretary of the Parks and Recreation Commission, said the road has nothing to do with a campground. “There are several reasons for the road,” she said. “I don’t know if you have ever been out there, but we need more parking lor big events. There is also a gravel pit back there.” In April the Parks and Recreation Com­ mission asked the Planning and Zoning Board l> make a zoning change in Charlton Park. The zoning board denied the request to the delight of petitioning Charlton Park neighbors, but their decision was overturned by the County Commission. Under the new zoning in the park a cam­ pground can be constructed under a special use permit. Jones did not participate in the Parks and Recreation request for a zoning change or the Planning and Zoning decision, because he said “it was a conflict of in­ terest". Jones praised the work of Charlton Park Directo*- Frank Walsh and Mary Ann Karmes, administrative assistant, in his letter of resignation. “I’m a little tired of the criticism some members of the board keep throwing at Frank and Mary Ann," he said. "They are both very dedicated people who work very hard.” Jones said other reasons for his resignation included his work with an ad­ vertising agency in BatUe Creek and a teaching position he holds at Michigan State University. "I really like the teaching and this will allow more time to get i nto it," he said. In his letter of resignation Jones said it have been a privelege to participate in the steady growth of Charlton Park. “While the park needs and will continue to need the financial support of the County commissioners, it continues to find ways to supplement incomes from various sources," the letter said. “Just as important is the way the Historic Village and Museum grow in stature as interpreters of history. They are recognized by experts for their authenticity, enjoyed by thousands of youngsters because they make the past a reality, and admired by the crowds who attend special events each year.” Richard Fluke of Pennock Hospital surveys cattails and talks drainage with William Wooer of the Board of Determination. by Ken Reibel In response to a citizens’ petition, the Barry County Board of Determination agreed Thursday, June 3, to order an in­ spection of about 3,000 feet of a water drain running behind the fairgrounds. The petition, signed by about 20 people whose homes border the drainage area, calls for the "cleaning out, relocating, widening, deepening, straightening, tiling, extending or relocating along a highway for a county drain known as the Hastings City Drain." The decision to inspect the drain came after an onrsight inspection by the Board of Determination, whose members are Wayne Miller, Richard Yarger and William Wooer. During the inspection, board members expressed doubts that the drain needed repair work. Members noted the firmness of the ground behind the fairgrounds, and lack of standing water. However, testimony from citizens whose homes border the drain convinced board members that an inspection is needed. Joyce Conklin, one of those citizens, seemed to speak for other residents present when she called the drainage area a “serious health problem.” She expressed concern that a combination of mosquitos from the drainage area and horses at the fairgrounds could create the right conditions for the spread of equine encephalitis. Conklin and others said the dryness that board members encountered on their walk is unusual, and that several feet of standing water is the norm for the drainage area. Another concerned resident said "Several years ago, people had gardens down there. But lately, you can walk down there and see water two feet deep I've even seen ducks and geese swimming around.’’ Bob Phillips, assistant manager of the fairgrounds, said his people were also concerned about the possible health hazards arising from the mixture of mosquitos and horses. Upon announcing the decision to order an inspection, board member Miller com­ mented "From what I see, I would say no (to the petition). But from what 1 hear, I would say differently.” The county will now let bids for the in­ spection work to be done. Sections of the drain will most likely be dug up and flushed with a water jet. Cost of the project will be shared by the city, county, township, fairgrounds and ' about 20 drain district residents. Pennock hospital, with property bordering the district, will share in less than two percent of the cost. There are 243 drain districts in Barry County. Isolated storm downs trees at Guernsey Lake Monday Strong winds and heavy rain pounded the Guernsey Lake area in Hope Township for a short time after 6 p.m. Monday, taking down a few large trees at lakefront homes. The storm left as quickly as it came, said Joyce Baker. “I was out working in my garden when it really got dark and started to sprinkle. 1 look down the umbrella (on an outdoor table) and went into the house,” she said. By the time she got into the house, the wind was so strong Mrs. Baker said it was difficult for her to close her sl'ding doors because of "suction” created by the heavy winds. A large willow tree on property adjoining the Bakers' yard blew over on top of their boat which miraculously was not damaged. The wind carried a neighbor's rowboat from the shore into the yard, but it appeared to be free of damage too. Other neighbors also lost trees as a result of the storm, including Jack Mills and Mrs. George McAllen. County board asks for more teeth in zoning ordinance to control outdoor gatherings The Barry County Board of Com­ missioners Tuesday agreed to ask the county planning and zoning commission to amend the zoning ordinance so it will be more en­ forceable to deal with complaints of noise from outdoor gatherings. "At the present time, the planning and zoning ordinance is too vague," Assistant Prosecutor Dale Crowley told the board. The matter was brought to the board’s attention by Fred Shipp, a county citizen who complained about loud music and parties in an open field at Guernsey Lake Rd. and McKibben Rd on holiday weekends. Several of Shipp’s neighbors attended the meeting in support of his complaint. Shipp had com­ plained about the loud parties last year. Commissioners unanimously voted to refer the matter to the county planning and zoning commission to amenG section 4.30 of the zoning ordinance and submits report back to the board. In other business, Mike Keeler of the Friend of the Coirt, explained a concept being used in dealing with persons who are delinquent in child-support payments. Called the pre-trial conference concept, he said Circuit Court Judges Hudson Deming and Richard Robinson have reccomended that Keller and his assistants meet with defendents in child support cases on Wed­ nesday and Fridays court days to hopefully reach an agereement which can be signed by the judge and will allow the defendent to avoid a hearing. Although Keeler seemed pleased with the concept, he asked the board's advice on a problem arising from lack of space or facilities to properly conduct the out-of-court hearings. He said that prior to the con­ ferences there are anywhere from 10-25 people and no place to put them. The pre-trial conferences have been used twice in the county and the commissioners’ room was used as a waiting area, but Keeler said he felt it was not a good idea to leave that many people un supervised and the board agreed. Keeler asked the board to provide space so that the program can continue, however commissioners decided to discuss the matter with the judges involved before making a decision. Of the new pre-trial conferences, Keeler Audit ordered into $17,000 missing from District Court State auditors are checking into the alleged theft of approximately $17,000 from Barry County District Court. District Court Judge Gary Holman, who ordered the audit, says cash available for deposit was apparently taken over a period of several months. The judge says he first noticed the shortage in early May. Holman would not confirm that the theft was the work of a court employee. Detective Clarence Taylor of the Paw Paw State Police post, who is handling the in­ vestigation, said the purpose of the audit is to determine just how much is missing from the court. Though he would not confirm the figure of $17,000, he indicated that that figure is close. Taylor says he will present the results of the audit to the Barry County prosecutor's office. said. “I think they are very good and will cut down on the amount of court time used in the past ..the only problem is space." The same concept is being used in Eaton County and other areas, he said. Dorothy Clements of the Southcentral Community Action Agencv presented the board with her agency’s progress report including the home weatherization plan which is designed to help low income families with engery conservation.

Calling them people is actually a com­ pliment - "PIGS" would be a better name! I have never been so disgusted, as I watched them lose all respectability. I have never seen such a lack of respect of public and private property. They did everything imaginable. They trespassed on private property, partied until midnight, left all sorts of litter on the ground, and even urinated on private property. They were having a high ole' time drinking beer, wine, and hard liquor. To mention nothing of the fact on how they left when the games were over. 1 am glad that weekend is over' Granted, not all people did all of the above, but the majoritv did. After witnessing their behavior. I would think they would be ashamed of themselves. Mr. & Mrs. ML Fleser To The Editor: Dear voters: when you vote for a school board member, please consider each one in an earnest, intelligent, honest and very conscientious time of serious hard thought. Are they capable and trustworthy? Consider what has happened in past years, way past. Consider what is happening at these artificial times, present. Consider what may happen in the future unless we separate the necessary from the unnecessary and proceed accordingly. Remember this, “Christianity must flourish or this America will cease to exist." We have gone much too far on the road toward heathenism and Communism. If you are a patriot, come on, Americans, let’s act at once before it is too late. Forsake politics and political gain. Be willing to sacrifice for America as so many in the past have done. A heart that aches sincerely, To The Editor: To The Editor: Last Tuesday we sat in shocked silence as thirty dedicated teachers were informed they were no longer needed. I have had the pleasure of working with many of these fine young people and have watched them develop from enthusiastic, eager teachers into skilled, dedicated professionals. The community will be the big loser with their departure as their energies and con­ cerns for students could surely be utilized in the difficult times ahe?d Many of these teachers will find employment in positions outside of education, another loss to the youth of today. We in education will miss them and eagerly await the end of our crisis so that some may return to our ranks. Sincerely. Vic Camp Teacher Like so many others, my family visited cemeteries this past Memorial weekend. One of those cemeteries was the Middleville Cemetery. The main part of this particular cemetery is oecently kept, however, the section on the east side is in such disarray that the township ought to lie ashamed This area has not been mowed yet this season and the brush has not been trimmed for quite some time. Tombstones that have not yet been thrown in a nuke-shift dumpsite have been allowed to lay vhere they have fallen. Only a few remain standing. This cemetery is hardly a suitable resting place for any Barry County pioneer, such as Ashbell Beach, one of the first organizers and officers of Thornapple Township, and his wife. Betsy. The township or perhaps more accurately, its sexton, has been slipping in his respon­ sibilities to the people in the township and most certainly to those who have helped to settle this county. Unless a civic group or historical society steps in to save this cemetery section, it will probably be allowed to be added to the State Library's list of cemeteries that have been allowed to be obliterated. Beth Rea Cameron McIntyre To our readers: To The Editor. With the approach of the June 14 school election. 1 am impelled, as a former teacher and counselor, to express m; concern and share my perception of why it is very im­ portant. In the Hastings School District, many negative thoughts and feelings are apparent. Defensiveness is rife; cooperation and communication are impaired. All of this is leading to a detrimental effect on our children and young people, seemingly not fully comprehended by many who do not work in the schools. Unless we all gain courage to examine our own blind spots, wnat is to prevent further erosion of our school system? 1 now feel my teacher friends and colleagues may be the ones to lead the way, not by being the only ones to make concessions, but by being open to others’ positions on the problems we face. They can set the tone for mutual analysis of the financial difficulties that beset us. They can do this, despite the fact that what they see as shaky support is not conducive to quality teaching and high morale: they teel unap­ preciated and they are hurting. But they have the strength to face problems openly discussed even when their owm toes are being stepped on While vital, self-interests of all of us are perhaps secondary. Anger and frustration are hardly helpful. We really must talk to each other, making a conscious effort to walk in the other fellow's moccasins, feeling the hurt and the pinch. We must hold at Die center of our considerations the well-being of Hastings area students. I am appalled when I hear of good teachers, master teachers, being pink slipped; ol counseling being wiped out; of library doors being closed at high school level, completing a schoolwide limitation in this area The total cut back goes on and on. In the field 1 know best, counseling, who will now assist in course selection suited to students aptitudes and goals or with post­ graduation planning which might lead to a life-fulfilling experience? Who will ad­ minister important testing programs and help with college choice and application? Who w illenable at least some to grow in selfinsight and acceptance? Who will listen when personal problems become unendurable? Counselors are not miracle workers and, like everybody else, they make mistakes, but the value of their work is real. When they make their significant contributions to counselees, the public will not hear it because it is someone's private experience, kept that way When I think of the impossible burden caused by this one cut-back alone, resting on administrators and teachers who remain, I am sick at heart. We can all make the task of new board members easier if we remember some positive aspects of our situation: many fine decisions by our administration, excellence of the teaching staff, supportive voters, despite the recent millage defeat. (Most do not seem anti school to me. nor, in memory, have they ever been.) We can help by remembering “nobody's perfect", including ourselves, and that the time has come to "give a little". 1 have searched for candidates with qualifications suited to our current needs: strength to speak out. coupled with w illingness to listen to others, without rancor or axes to grind. My choices may differ from yours, but 1 shall make them carefully and in good conscience. Sincerely yours, Elizabeth Underwood We received two letters endorsing and asking voters to support one of the candidates for the Hastings Board of Education. For some time, we have been of the opinion that letters to the editor are not the appropriate place for endorsements of candidates. Endorsements belong under the realm of paid advertising, especially in weekly newspapers where a quick response from supporters of other candidotes is not possible. For this and other reasons, letters to the editor should be reserved for an examination of the issues and opinions in the community and not used tn promote a single candidate. The Hastings Banner continues to encourage letters to the editor and this week we have established a new "Public Commentary” column for a more in depth look at some ot the issues in the community. As a newspaper staff, we appreciate your comments and would like your ideas on ways we can best serve our readers.

West State at Broadway Member FDIC All Deposits Insured up to '100,000 A long-time Hastings resident and antique dealer is the author of a new column. Aud's Antics', which will be featured weekly in the Banner. The author and her husband share a love for antiques and both have extensive knowledge about the subject. A variety of topics will be included in Audrey's column's. In the weeks ahead, she’ll discuss tips on bidding at an auction and how to buy from a dealer as well as giving ..pecifics about certain antique pieces. There’s a great need for information in this area about antiques, she said. Writing about her favorite subject is something she says she has wanted to do for some time. Mrs. Audrey Hull "Three years ago, I had cancer and the doctor told me ‘if there’s anything you haven’t done yet, do it.’ When I did get better. I did free appraisels for a local in­ surance company. I just asked the people to give a donation to church. 1 have learned that it’s really true that the more you give of yourself, the more you get in return," she said. Audrey, a native of Kentucky, has a mail order antique business. Through trade journals, she buys and sells antiques all over the U.S., Canada, and Hawaii, she explains. Audrey specializes in art glass which encompasses hundreds of different types, most of which are from the Victorian period, she says. The art glass can range from a miniature lemonade set to a glove box. Her personal collection is Wavecrest and Crown Milano. It was about seven years ago that Audrey and her husband became collectors. “We just started going to auctions and my husband bought an old table and he decided to try to refinish it. He did a good job and it turned out beautiful and we fell in love with it. One thing led to another." Since then they regularly attend auctions, mall shows and flea markets. "Looking is an inexpensive way to spend a day or weekend," she notes. It’s an exciting hobby too. “It's always thrilling to find a bargain or a piece io put together to make it beautiful. "Just the beauty alone of the different woods and art glass is enough to get you interested," said Audrey. She also finds the history of each piece to be fascinating and has spent considerable time doing research. Audrey has developed a talent in iden­ tifying antiques. Smelling the wood and feeling the glass objects tell many clues. “If I was blindfolded, I could tell the quality by feeling and smelling (wood) and maybe even tell what it is," she said. An 18-room home serves as a showcase for the couple’s personal collection. Audrey’s husband has an affinity for antique clocks and “at noon it sounds like Westminster in here," she laughs. “The antique furnishings we have acquired for our home have been picked-up a piece at-a-time or by pieces and refinished by my husband,” said Audrey. She says she has a special fondness for two brass plaques, a gift from a brother, which were hand-hammered in Iran and for a large wall tapestry from Morocco from her daughter. Audrey and her husband have six children and six grandchildren Besides antiques, she enjoys listening to music Anyone wishing to write their com­ ments on this new column, or who have question to direct to the author, may write to Box 2A, in charge of the Hastings Banner, Hastings, Ml. 49058.

Darlene Horper Township Clerk 6-10 Home improvement “gypsies” reportedly in Barry County area by Sue Robinson Area residents are urged to keep an out for a band of 'gypsies' who go door to door of­ fering to seal coat toofs. During May, four seperate incidents were reported to officials of gypsies who offered to spray roofs, but only took off with the money with little or none of the work completed. In one incident, the con artists told an elderly Ann Arbor area couple that they would coat their roof for $500. but then demanded and got another $500. Police say the gypsies then lured the couple outside, then snuck into the couple’s home and stole another $1,000 from a safe Police say the gypsies travel in pickup trucks with either Illinois or Texas plates. All pickups are reported to have sprayers in the back. The Barry County Sheriff Department warns area homeowners to deal only with reputable people when having home repairs done. Sheriffs say once residents agree to let them work, they will very likely be grossly overcharged or encounter a theft, and add “It is best if residents do not do business with them at all."

Delton Kellogg Schools Monday will be asking voters to approve a 1.5 mill increase for two years and to waive the Headlee constitutional amendment which would allow the district to levy all of its previously allocated and extra-voted millage. According to figures recently released from the Barry County Equalization office, school officials told the audience that it appears that the Headlee amendment will not affect the district even though the waiver is part of Monday's ballot proposal The request to waive the tax rollback was included because the district's new state equalized evaluation was not known at the time the board had to meet the deadline of preparing the ballot. If the total value of the school district's taxable property had increased faster than the U.S. Consumer Price Index of the previous year, the tax rate would have to be reduced unless voters waived the effects of the Headlee amendment. However,the inflation rate received from the State Tax Commission amounted tv 10.4 percent while the district’s SEV for 1982 sear increased in the neighborhood of 8.9 percent, said Superintendent Willard Baker. The Barry County Equalization office has released figures showing Delton Kellogg's SEV at $93,115,843 for 1982. Last year s SEV was $85,543,351. If the 1.5 mill increase is approved, it will generate an additional $174,000 for the district the first year. The additional money is necessary to continue to provide a quality education for students and reinstate cocurricular activities in the general fund budget, said Dean McBeth, assistant superintendent McBeth discussed a prepared fact sheet concerning the nullage election which in­ cluded a comparison of area schools and showing that if the increase is approved. Delton’s millage will be below the 1980-81 state average of 30 01 mills. Delton currently levies 27.1 mills. He also pointed out that the reduction in professional personnel at Delton has ex­ ceeded the decline of student enrollment. Since 1977-78. the number of teachers have been reduced by 18 percent, administrators by 20 percent, and student enrollment by 11 percent. "This exceeds stale averages for the same five years," said McBeth. The increase in millage will allow the school to purchase needed teaching supplies and textbooks and for custodial maintenance supplies, he said. The fact sheet also shows how inflation has "hit the school as it has hit your family" and how energy conservation measures have saved dollars for the district. Asked what will happen if the millage fails, McBeth said "decisions will be made ac­ cordingly...obviously we're looking at people. "There will be some reduction in staff whether the millage passes." McBeth said. He also anticipates a possible reduction in the area of transportation with the expected decline in enr Um ent. In addition to millage, discussion included possible related future problems with the percentage of persons without direct ties to the school increasing at a larger rate than those who have children in school. Board member Donald Weaver said he would guess that 70 percent of the people who were eligible to vote had no direct ties with the school. This is a switch from having 60 percent of voters with children in school in recent years One member of the audience asked if the school has looked into the possibility of a joint effort with other districts to provide computer education, one of the areas that McBeth had said earlier that Delton had fallen behind in. McBeth said the Delton schools is just getting started in computers and had shared resources with other districts in getting the Marriage Licenses announced: Albert Kimball III, Plainwell. 28 and Deborah Paulus.

Board president Vern Scott and others in the audience commented that they did not feel staff members were being overpaid. James Henry, board treasurer, pointed out that "someone who has worked at Kelloggs six or seven years makes wages greater than the highest paid teacher." He also mentioned that some truck drivers who do not have a high school education make $38,000 per year. McBeth said he preferred to compare “apples to apples" and noted that Delton salaries are not high ranking in the region or slate level. According to average teacher salaries for 1980-81 at the state level, Delton ranked 291 out of 529. Al Whitlock, a citizen in the audience, said that he thought voting against the millage because of salaries "boiled down to greed, jealousy, or resentment."

Unlike compensation paid to those disable because of military service, pensions are affected by income from other sources. The 600,000 who will get increases in June (payable July 1) are those who are receiving benefits under the "improved" VA pension plan inaugurated by Congress in 1979. The plan links VA pension rates to adjustments in social security payments. Before the change, an individual’s pension was subject to reduction each time social security in­ creased. Pensions for veterans and survivors under the "old plan" remain fixed and payable at the rate; in effect in 1978. But those rales are protected against reduction that would otherwise result from cost of living increases in their income from other sources. “Old plan" recipients may request tran­ sfer to the ‘‘improved" plan at any time, VA officials point out. The agency will carefully review each application to advise applicants to choose the plan which works to their personal advantage. With the June increase (payable in July 1 checks), a veteran with one dependent and no other income will receive $6,980. For each additional dependent, the added amount is $903 per year. class.

Write-in for Hastings Public School Board I am concerned with these facts: Patriotism in songs, prayers and Bibles are right in public schools. President Reagan gave an ok on this, meaning gruops in the U.S., are conspiring against the Flag and Youth. Local and all public schools are ailing for "money’' when the coalition stand, to state government, also Washington D.C. is where the money must come from, not the people: sin from abortion means less students, and teacher-layoffs. (Why all public schools suffer). I believe that PTA (Parent-Teacher Association meetings) should have all the parents there at the some time, and not "watered down" with just a few there at once. , , ... . Making comparisons with the older type of education books will show the modernistic ones confusing, and difficult, and I am convinced changes have to be made and oka that the state must stop the purchase of public school books; this is state control ord takes these out of the hands of parents, is non­ constitutional. There is no "separation of Church and State — that was conspiracy paving the way for public education to also go down the drain with the nation. Too many people on school boards don't now what is taking place: that now the Pentagon "has a Jr. ROTC program" which is training with guns, and military practice which is not education for high schools. (I am) concerned why public school superintendents and school boards do not make the stand to the state, and D.C. standing up for Christian Education, and not knowing what else happened to El Salvador, and any notion where Atheism. Communism took a stand. Why school duperintendents and school boards deny These truths, but retire, and quit. Important changes and stands must be made in public education and a nation without "potheads and suicides" is to survive, so no matter how many promises others made. I bring this overall convern to parents, voters, teachers, school superintendents, that worse will come, unless public education makes a turnabout. g Paid for by Write-in Committee tor Mary Humphrey William* 837 Eat! Clinton St Hasting* Mt 49058 �I “J The Hastings Banner - Thursday, June 10.1982 - Page 10 Whitelock, Carmody join race for state senate Richard Whitelock Libertarian William Carmody Republican by Greg Johnson Libertarian Richard Whitelock of Ionia, and Republican William W. Carmody of Carson City, have joined the race for the newly drawn 13th District State Senate seat. They join Senator Robert Welborn. R Kalamazoo, in the official bid for the new seat. State Representative Harmon Cropsey, R Decatur, is expected to join the race, and’a democratic candidate has not been an­ nounced. The new district includes all of Barry County. Whitelock, a mobile home salesman and president of a citizens group called OTLAM Outraged Taxpayers and Landowners Association of Michigan), and Carmody, a legislative and legal analyst for a Lansing firm and a registered lobbyist, each an­ nounced their candidacy on Friday, June 4 Whitelock. 51. a past opponent of Barry County mobile home zoning, has issued a challenge to the other candidates for the 13th district. Tm in favor nf a part-time legislature that Bob Tisch (Shiawassee County Drain Commissioner and candidate for Governor) lias proposed." Whitelock said. “1 intend to get elected and will only except two thirds of the salary for a senator. I believe they are overpaid bureaucrats, and I challenge other Health Department warns of over exertion in summer candidates for the 13th district to do the same an; make a public announcement to that effect." Whitelock said he is not a politician and does not wish to be labeled as one. "I’m a businessman who has felt the awesome affects of the wrecking-ball style of politics of the Republicans and Democrats," he said. “They’ve been overspending, overtaxing, and overregulating as if there was an endless supply of our tax dollars. As a single unit the republicrats’ have driven businesses and industry out of Michigan so that we are now faced with the highest number of unemployed in the nation." ear-round athletes are ready for the activities of summer. They probably don’t even need a training period before they swim the half-mile the first day at the beach. Most people, however, aren’t in such good condition They are advised by the Barry County Health Department to take their summer sports in small doses until their muscles and hearts have grown accustomed to vigorous exercise. Rather than play 18 holes of golf after a sedentary winter, it might be wise to start with a par-3 golf course, or to lob a few tennis balls in earl;, summer before you schedule a fast game. If you don’t, your back, leg and arm muscles could slow you down, or your heart muscle could put you down. Over exertion can cause heart attack in some people, the department warned Just to be on the safe side, let’s review the symptoms of heart attack: uncomfortable pressure, fullness, squeezing or pain in the chest, lasting two minutes or more. The pain may spread to the shoulder, neck or arms. Severe pain, dizziness, fainting, nausea, or shortness of breath may also occur. Some people have fell the symptoms of heart attack and thought it was tension or indigestion. Il’s easy to disregard the war­ ning signs, thinking "it’s just a little pain that will soon go away." Those are among the famous last words of people who waited ’oo long to get medical help. Carmody. 34, said his experience in state government, the legislative arena and various facets of the educational spectrum have afforded him insight on the issues confronting the state and the people in the 13th district. "Several of our present legislators are content with blaming the states ills on various officials and berating the Gover­ nor," he said. "This serves little purpose in solving our present problems. If half the effort of these verbal volleys were directed at solving our problems, we would be far down the road to eliminating our present concerns." Carmody said that sound fiscal management of our state is needed. "We should not be facing issues such as temporary tax increases and multiple executive orders.’’ he said. "We must learn to operate within the limits based on realistic revenue expectations. We must also continue to address such concerns as workers comnsation, the single business tax, unem­ ployment compensation, high interest rates price support systems, property taxes and educational financing." In addition to covering Barry County, tne new district includes Ionia and Montclam Counties, the city of Kalamazoo, Cooper and Richland Townships and part of Kalamazoo Township. Two announce candidacy for 88th district house seat State highway income and road conditions declining The Michigan Department of Tran*portation, in two seperate reports, says that the condition of the state highway system and state income for highways are both in decline. The department reports that state income for highways, roads, streets and other transportation fell by 8.3 percent in the first quarter of 1982 compared to the same period in 1981. In Barry County, state income dropped from $416.267.13 in the first quarter of 1981 to $384,662.01, a drop of about seven-and-a-half percent. In Hastings, the drop in income was about 11 percent, in Freeport 10 percent, and in Nashville 10 percent. Ron Lear, engineer-manager of the Barry County Road Commission, says his depart­ ment anticipated the drop in income, and budgeted likewise. “We do not have to pull off any projects, or make any fast decisions,” says Lear. It was the ninth consecutive quarter in which revenues from fuel and weight taxes were down from the same quarter a year earlier. Reduced driving during a hard winter as well as the continuing recession and the growth in the number of lighter, more fuel efficient autos all figured in the decline. Meanwhile, the condition of the state highwav system has declined significantly in the last four years, according to the Department of Transportation. Lear says there has been a coresponding decline in the condition of Barry County roads. “We don’t have the manpower to run a sufficiency study," says Lear, "but you can tell by looking at the roads that they need work. He adds that the roads are drying out faster than his deaprtment can reseal them. In 1978, the department said, more than 36 percent of the surfaces on the state's 9,400 mile system — all the interstates and USand M- numbered highways — were in good or excellent condition. The department’s newly completed survey of highway conditions, part of a sufficiency rating made every two years, showed that the portion of highway surfaces considered good to excellent had dropped to 2.6 percent. The surfaces on 27.8 percent of the system are rated in poor or very poor condition. That includes 2,322 miles in poor condition and 239 miles in very poor condition. DID YOU KNOW...

The official scorer called Atkinson s hit a single and a three base error, but the Saxon scorebook called it a homerun. Either way the Saxons brought home the trophy "That outfielder gave everything she had to gel to it but couldn't." Anderson said. "If she would have caught it. it would have been a fantastic catch. But she didn’t and it turned out to be a fantastic hit.” The Saxons took the first lead of the game early when Johncock singled a run across in the bottom of the first. In the second inning Teresa Hause tripled and scored on a pass ball for a 2-6 Saxon lead.

Ground was broken June 1 for the addition, located on the hospital’s southwest corner. When completed, sometime in December, it will greatly increase clinical lab space for technicians, and give laborator}- heads larger office spaces. The project also includes an autopsy suite, something Pennock is presently without. Autopsies are currently performed al area funeral homes. Clinical lab services which will be ex­ panded include hemotology, chemistry, urinalysis, microbiolog}’, blood bank and serology, radio-immuno assay and out­ patient blood drawing. Employee's facilities will also be increased, and a new lab will be included for studying tissue samples. In addition, the new project will include a 3,000 square foot basement for storage of records and X-rays. And the new lab will be a convenience to patients as well as lab workers, as outpatients will have their own waiting room. According to Richard Fluke, Pennock's executive director, the present lab was designed in 1964. and completed in 1966. Since then, says Fluke, the number of patients served each year by the lab lias increased from 14.400 to38.100 in 1981. In that same time, the number of tests performed increcsed from 42.800 to 186,500. Fluke points out that in 1966, the lab had six employees plus one part-time pathologist. Now. there are 18 persons employed in the lab. and one full-time pathologist Because the construction is being carried out adjacent to the present lab. some in­ convenience is expected during the next six months. "I’ve seen construction projects around other laboratories and they can get pretty dusty," says Dr. Eldon Cassell, chief pathologist. "But I'm sure we'll manage." According to Fluke, the project will cost about $550,000. He says the money will come from hospital funds set aside over the years, and some "significant gifts" from wills and estates. The addition is designed by Kingscott Architects of Kalamazoo. Work is being done by Osierink Construction Co. of Grand Rapids. Hastings Ground was broken June 1 for the $550,000 addition to Pennock's laboratory, and work should be completed sometime in December. Dr. Eldon Cassell (left), chief pathologist, says the new addition will enhance working space for lab techs, such as Lois Van Tuinen (right), medical technician. (Banner photos) Banner Devoted to the Interests of Barry County Since 1856 Referendum called on water rate hike Vol. 127, No. 24 Hastings, Michigan Price 20e Thursday, June 17,1982 By Robert J. Johnston Hastings voters will have the final say on the controversial nine percent hike in water and sewer rates. Responding to petitions calling for a referendum, the City Council, Monday, set a vote for August 10, the date of the primary election. Eight petition circulators turned in 366 valid signatures. Donna Kinney, city clerk, said 345 signatures were needed to force the election. The council could have rolled back the water and sewer rate increase instead of calling the election. “I think the council is aware of the procedure for referendum," Councilman David Jasperse (Fourth Ward) said. "That’s what the petition asks for." Council approved the rate hike on May 10 unanimously, but had the decision vetoed by Mayor Kenneth J. Howe the next day. For several days, supporters of the veto picketed City Hall and collected signatures backing the mayor. On May 24, the council unanimous!} overturned the mayor's veto This led to circulation of the referendum petitions. Recall petitions were taken out at the county clerk’s office, but none have been filed. Circulators signing the referendum petitions were Deborah L. Bryan, 1201 S. Hanover; Darla Hammond, 512 N. Monroe; Kingsley C. Bennett, 310 E. Woodlawn; Dan Shay, 729 S. Church; Obnita Cotton, 5M N. Michigan; Lorna Adams, 421 W. Bond; Sandra K. Brace, 420 W. Center; and Diane Augustyniak, 430 S. Market. Council member Mary Lou Gray (Third Ward) read a letter from Mr. and Mrs. Richard Teske of Newton Court criticizing the City Hall pickets and their efforts to block the increase. She also reported that the water and sewer rate increase would not hike the rent of tenants in Hidden Valley Estates, a senior citizens' housing complex funded through U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Gray also said that continuing im­ provements in the water system were saving homeowners ten to 11 percent in their fire insurance rates. "People are saving more witn their fire insurance that they would pay with the in­ crease in water rates," she contended. “The (fire insurance) rating could be lowered at any time." The motion setting the referendum was approved unanimously. Township residents protest Country Club Drive made one way By Robert J. Johnston Despite protests from Hastings Township residents living in the Ind an Hills sub­ division, the Hastings City Council, Monday, made Country Club Dr. a one-way road from north to south. The vote to change the road was 5-2, with Councilmen David Jasperse (Fourth Ward) and Patrick Vaughan (First Ward) dissenting. About two dozen township residents turned out to fight for continued two-way traffic on the 4,000 ft. unpaved road. The issue of chai ging the traffic pattern, or closing the road completely, arose after a liabilly suit against the city was filed following a head-on automobile accident. Councilman Gordon Fuhr (Third Ward), chairman of the Public Safely Committee, said he received more correspondence on the issue than any others since he served on council. Opponents of the change out­ numbered the supporters, he said. "If it is closed either way it will hurl us." Leon Hale. 614 W. Indian Hills Dr., said. "I use it practically every day and so does most everybody that lives out there.” Hale pointed out that taking the longer route on North Broadway to his home would waste gasoline. "Some important business people in town live out there and support keeping it open," Hale said. Other speakers on behalf of keeping it open were Richard Wolf. 810 Indian Hills; Earlene Baum, 620 Indian Hills; George Becker, 803 Indian Hills; and Daniel Lake, 608 Indian Hills. Former Mayor Ivan Snyder, a member of the Riverside Cemetery board, said that making the road one-way from the north may pose some problems for funeral processions. "We weighed this," Fuhr told the group. "There are going to be some hardships. Many people , would like to see it closed completely. It's a traffic hazard and liability to the city." Fuhr said that making the road one-way was a fair compiomise. Gordon Bennett (Second Ward) suggested that since all of the people wanting the road to stay open lived in the township some cooperative financing with the township for improvements in the road might be arranged. In other business, the council had the first reading of a new ordinance proposed by the Planning Commission to license and inspect rental property. A vote on the proposal was set for July 12. (A detailed story on the proposed ordinance will appear in next week's Banner.). Continued on page 2 School board winners face rocky road ahead By Banner and Maple Valley News News Department Staffs Winners of area school board elections were predictably pleased with their hardwon victories Tuesday, while boards and .idministratorsat Delton and Middleville are facing budget cutbacks after Monday's millage defeats. Hastings voters had the largest slate of cancfidates. with 11 people seeking one twoyear seat and two four-year seais. (See chart for district vote totals). "I have mixed emotions." said Larry Haywood, winner of a four-year seat in the Hastings contest. “In a way I feel that it wouldn't have bothered me if I lost." "We need representation for the rural community," said Haywood, a fourlhgeneration dairy farmer, adding "It's going to be a heck of a Job.” He said he favors another miliage issue on a fall ballot, but only in a shopping list kind of form. He would also like to get right to work to take steps to "identify and determine a curriculum." “I think there can be some improvements made (in the curriculum) with the cuts that have been made there." said Haywood. “I’m surprised because I didn’t have any predictions." said Diane Hoekstra, top vote­ getter in the contest. She said she was also surprised at the high voter turnout, and notes that the first four voter getters were close. Hoekstra is eager to continue work on the 1982-83 budget, and is in favor of another millage try. “One thing I will encourage is another millage," says Hoekstra, "but not having every item separate, only some." Richard Shaw, winner of tlx? two-year board seat, says his first priority is to help change the negative attitude many in our community have toward the schools. “We have to stop looking back," says the Hastings city attorney, “we have to stop searching for scapegoats to blame for our plight. The fact is. the system is in serious trouble, and we had better start working together right now or a lot of kids are going to be shortchanged." Shaw says the real vic­ tims of the squabbling going cm over the schools are the children. Nearly 25 percent of the district’s 7,000 registered voters turned out for the election. Middleville Middleville voters turned down a 16 mill tax package by a vote of 968-874. The package was for 12 mills renewal and four additional mills (see related story elsewhere in this issue). Gary Thaler was the top vote-getter of three running for two four-year seats on the Thomapple-Kellogg Board of Education. Thaler polled 1,358 votes to incumbent Donald Williamson's 1.003, who will take the other seat, and Roger Mast’s 577. Stephen Ellis ran unopposed for a one year term to fill out the term of Dennis Martin. 1,842 voters, nearly 35 percent of ..he 5,300 registered turned out for the election. Delton Delton voters defeated a 1.5 mill increase 795-708. Willard Baker, superintendent, said the millage defeat combined with a cut in state aid proposed by Gov. William G. Milliken, Monday, will result in a cut of $281,000 from the projected 1982-83 budget. The board is expected to present the new budget at its June 28 meeting. Bakers said the cuts will mean layoffs for school employees. "We re looking at the entire program and will have to re-evaluate it,” he said. Baker did not project how many people will be laidoff. He said the board finance committee reviewed the budget Wednesday night. Phillip Stott was elected to a one-year seat on the Delton board with 1,204 votes and Patricia Fales was named to a four year seat witn 1,229 votes. Both were incumbents running unopposed. Delton’s turnout represented about 25 percent of the district’s registered voters. Maple Valley Maple Valley voters named Charles Viele, Sr. of Vermontville to fill out a one year vacancy on the board to which he had been appointed. Viele received 345 votes against 192 for David Hagon and 140 for James Shaw. “There isn’t enough money to do some of the special programs you’d like to do," Viele commented after the election. “The moneyjust isn’t there. "If sufficient funds were available I would like to see the remedial reading (program) reinstated to its prior level,” he said. Maple Valley voters also elected Merle Martin of Vermontville to a four-year term with 423 voles and David Hawkins of Nash­ ville to a four-year seat with 405 votes. Other candidates seeking those seats were William Semrau, 213 votes; James Bryan, 154; and George Hubka, 101. The Nashville and Vermontville voters also renewed a 16.71 mill levy by a vote of 442-260. Hawkins feels one of the issues facing the board is financial cutbacks which he labels as a “really tough decision." He said priorities of the board in making cutbacks are important. “If you lose the three R's at elementary level, it doesn’t make much difference what you offer at the high school level." Hawkins said. "The first year will be a time of lear­ ning for me .learning the mechanics of how things are run. The new board member added that the board and the community need a better relationship." The other newly elected member, Merle Martin, said he will "try to keep everyone working together in the community." Martin said he would work to avoid division on the board. He also stressed the need for conservative economics. "Everybody’s going to have to realize that it's pretty tight financially now," Martin said. Lakewood In the Lakewood district, voters over­ whelmingly approved a i9.35 mill renewal by a vote of 1.002-372. Jack Blessing, an incumbent who has been serving as board president, won re-election to a four year term with 1.256 votes. He was unopposed. A steady stream of voters filed through the west gym at the junior high school. Monday for the school board elections.

Thursday, June 17, 1982 — Page 2 Thornapple-Kellogg Board votes to ask again for 16 mills Local cemetery caretaker helps bury “deadman tax” by Greg Johnson About 24 hours after a 16 mill package was turned down by voters in Middleville, the Thornapple-Kellogg Board of Education voted unanimously to put the same question in front of the voters again. “The board feels we have made so many cuts already that we're at the bottom,” Assistant Superintendent Gerald Page said Wednesday. "We could put a package up that would mean a sub par education, but we don't want to do that.” The vote to put the 16 mill package, 12 renewal and four additional, back to the public once again came at a special meeting of the board on Tuesday. On Monday voters defeated the proposed package 968 to 874. Page said the board is required by law to wait at least 45 days before another question, ana that the application for a millage elec­ tion must be sanctioned by the Barry County Election Board. “We would like to have it (the : Tillage election) as soon as possible, possibly the first week of August,” Page said. "We are working on it tuday and plan to give it a good shot again.” "The board members are adamant that what we are asking for will provide a minimum education,” Page added "I don't know what we will do if it doesn't pass. We can't do much with just 15 mills.” This year the schools operated on 25.82 mills Several programs were cut, including the six hour day to five. Two months ago the Thornapple-Kellogg High School was put on accreditation probation bv the University of Michigan. by Ken Reibel Two formal meetings keep school board busy* by Ken Rcibel The Hastings Board of Education held two formal meetings during its Tuesday night get together in the vocal music room of the junior high. The first meeting was a preliminary hearing as required by the state’s "Truth in Taxation" law. This is the first year the board has had to deal with the new law. Richard Guenther, superintendent of schools, explained that the law requires all taxing jurisdictions that have levied more than one mill in the prior year to annually roll back tax rates to offset increased property values. In that way, the levy on existing property cannot exceed the total dollar levy of the year prior. Failure by the board to act on the rollback could result in loss of 1.1439 mills, representing a combined state and local aid loss of $224,525. Final hearing on the issue will be held at a special June 2 meeting. Ernie Strong of the HEA read his organization's letter from the June 1 meeting not to open its contract for discussion of wage and fringe concessions. Following Strong's remarks, several board members criticized the teacher’s union for their adamant refusal to negotiate. "It’s frightening the public a bit," said Robert Godfrey, “You (the HEA) are in the position of being dictatorial. I think that with the power that the teacher association has gained, restraint must be practiced." Godfrey said that what concessions the HEA Tuesday’s storms caused power outage Storms moving through Michigan, Tuesday caused scattered power outages throughout the area, resulting in 90 outages north of Hastings, around Leach Lake. Power went out at 4 p.m. and everyone in the area had power back by 10:30 p.m. last night," said William Mabin, district public affairs supervisor for Consumers Power Co. of Battle Creek, Wednesday. “High wiods blew tree limbs onto the power lines, causing the outages." Mabin said there were 500 total outages in the Battle Creek district, which extends from the state line north to the bottom of Barry County. Council, cont from page 1 Council approved the transfer of $5,000 from the police wages fund in the 1962-83 budget to the employee fringe benefit fund. Police Chief Mark Steinfort explained that by snuffling positions, he was able to reduce the layoffs in the department to two positions, instead of three, and will need the additional money in the fringe benefits fund to cover the restructured salaries. A request from the Southcentral Michigan Planning Commission for a membership dues payment of $585 was tabled at the suggestion of Jasperse. Gray spoke against the payment and Howe noted that last year . the city had declined to pay the fee. "I'm involved in the economic develop­ ment (committee) and we are getting some services from this," Jasperse said. “If we table this, I will see what kind of services we are getting." The payment request was referred to the Ordinance Committee for a recom­ mendation. Howe reported that negotiations for a new contract with the BIRCH Rural Fire Association have been started. The association wants to reduce its support for the fire department from 50 percent to 30 percent, Howe said. "We've resolved many minor issues,” Howe said, "and so far our position is protected." A request by Charter Telecommunications to run a cable television line through the city io service township customers to the north and south was referred to the city attorney. The city has a franchise contract with Triad Cable TV and the council questioned whether it would violate that contract if it approved the cable. Richard Engle reviewed the services of the county animal control department to city residents "We try our best," Engle said. "Most counties have six or seven trucks. We have two and one of those is in the body shop.'' The YMCA-Youth Council was given permission to use Bob King Park for high school soccer games from Aug. 17 to Oct. 28 on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. and Bob King Park and Tyden Park for soccer leagues on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. between Sept. 11 and Oct. 23. The Hastings 150 acres would put him out of business. "We're operating on a shoestring budget right now," says Smith. "If we had to pay that kind of money, we wouldn’t be able to hold another burial. Ten days after Smith sent his letter, he received a reply from Sen. Welborn. "Congratulations." read the letter. "Due to the strong voicing of your opposition to House Bill 4591, the Senate drafted and passed a substitute bill, which addressed the major problem. I did, however, vote no because there was an increase from $10 to $20 for the annual registration fee. "Because of your efforts, the newly-passed version of the bill deletes the $15 per acre fee.” In addition, wrote Welborn, the bill abolishes the State Cemetery Commission and creates a new cemetery commissioner, eliminates state inspection of private­ cemeteries and eliminates the acreage fee found in the house-passed version of the bill, along with other features. “Welborn was very, very nice about it," says Smith, adding "He has my vole for governor." A spokesperson for Welborn’s office says the senator received about thirty or forty letters opposing the cemetery regulation act, mostly from cemetery owners and caretakers. PUBLIC OPINION: ....... THIS WEEK’S QUESTION: Hundreds of Barry County students received high school diplomas this month and now must make career choices. What’s your advice? Should they seek higher education? Where could they look for a job and in what field? Should they enter military service? Fifty area residents suffer power loss Fifty southern Barry County Consumers Power customers experienced a power outage at 5:45 a.m. this morning near the south end of Bristol Lake, in the Johnstown township-Banfield area. The outage was caused by a wet tree limb coming in contact with power wires which caused a short circuit. The Johnstown Fire Department was called and power was restored by 8 a.m. to all customers. United Methodist Women meet United Methodist Women of First United Methodist Church, Hastings, enjoyed a salad luncheon at the church Wednesday. June 9. Mrs. Edward Smith, Chairman of Leah Circle, prepared and served the luncheon to 80 women. Mrs. Kenneth Howe gave the luncheon prayer and the devotions, based on love and friends. Mrs. Muryl Foreman, Chairman of the Day. presented gifts to seven Outreach members, who were special guests. Mrs. Wade Shook led the group in singing. Mrs. Foreman introduced the program. The following women of the Bible were portrayed to bring into focus the women for whom the six circles were named: Martha. Mrs. E. Paul Johnson; Esther. Mrs. David Steeby; Deborah. Mrs. Paul Uerling; Sarah, Mrs. Carl Faulkner; Leah. Mrs. Robert Furrow; and Mary, Mrs. Leo Church. Mrs. Turner invited all the women to a dessert honoring Mrs. Myron Williams, wife of the new minister, on Wednesday. July 14. from 1 p.m. to3 p.m. at the Turner home. The meeting was dismissed with the friendship circle. Two area residents make Ferris honors list Brenda S. Hanson of Woodland and Sheri L.

"It’s not good public relations," said God­ frey. Judy Lenz said she was disappointed that the union is not ready to sit down and talk. "It’s important that we show our feelings,” she said. In other business, Superintendent Guen­ ther recommended that the board authorize the finance committee to review proposed early retirement, job sharing and voluntary layoffs as a means of further reducing operational costs, proposals which the HEA has expressed a desire to discuss. "You’re going to tax these people after they’re dead?” asked Smith, “I don’t think that’s right.” As caretaker of Riverside Cemetery, David L. Smith was appalled to learn of a bill before the Michigan legislature to place a $15 per acre tax on cemeteries. Because Riverside is a non-profit organization, says Smith, the extra costs of the tax would have to be passed on to the owners of the 8,500 graves that grace the cemetery’s 150 acres. The problem is, most of them are dead. With the help of his wife. Loretta, Smith sent a letter to a number of state senators, including 21st district senator Jack Welborn. The letter pointed out the difficulty of assessing each lot owner his share of the new tax, and asked the question “Are you really going to tax people after they're dead?" “I thought the tax was very ridiculous," says Smith. “What does the State Cemetery Com­ mission do for us?" asks Smith. He says that in the four years he has been at Riverside, he has seen a commission representative once. “He drove once around the cemetery, then came up to my door and asked for $25 for an inspection fee," says Smith. “What dots that do for me? What does that do tor the dead people? Nothing that I can see," says Smith. Smith says that a $15. per acre fee for his (USPS 071-830) 1952 N. Broodway. P.O. Box B. Hastings. Ml 49058 Published by...

To The Editor: This letter is addressed to those of you who cr’ld sit back and point a finger to your fellow man and say “I don't care if you or you ge» laid off. as long as I get my in­ crease,” and to those who went along with it. How can anyone be so greedy as to not look ait for his fellow teacher? Where is your so called "code of ethics” I hear the teachers talk so much about? Because of you so called “fat cats” we at Pleasantview and I know the other schools too, have lost four good, well thought of teachers who cared about our children and their education. Our hearts were heavy on our last day of school! I can't understand how anyone can be so greedy, especially when they know the job situation is scarce here in Michigan and leaching positions too. Those of you who are reading this letter and who fit in this catagory, how can you sleep at night? Don’t you have a conscience? I’m only glad that I'm not one of you who has to live with this greed. Next time you take a dollar out of your pocket just remember whose back you look it off of. Good Luck to all of you good teachers out there!! Louise A.

Delnay For this week's question, we went to people around the community to whom employment and career are of special interest. Higher education was on the mind of most respon­ dents. as it is for many high school graduates. Of the 275 who recently graduated from Hastings High School, 116 indicated that they plan to continue their education at either a two or four year school. Mike Williams, supervisor of the Hastings MESC office, says he has been getting "concerned phone calls" from many dif­ ferent individuals in the area. "Colleges or technical schools seem to be one of the best investments as far as what young people can get into. College isn't always the answer for everyone." says Williams. "A tech school, where they obtain some skill in plumbing, electrical, or certainly the computer field, is worthwhile." Williams calls the military a viable altervative, and says it is important for young people to at least look at the armed forces as an option. Jan Mullen, personnel and labor relations manager for E.W.Bliss Co., urges grads to seek higher education. “If not college, then some kind of technical training school, something beyond the high school diploma level. “As for a career choice, 1 think the biggest market coming up in the next decade is the technical areas. People who repair com­ puters, people who repair robots, people who take care of the technical products we will be living with." says Mullen. “My advice to all students is to evaluate their interests and their talents, and then pursue their goal." says Robert Miller, administrative assistant and future superintendent of Hastings schools. “Trade John Cottroll Judge Richard Laughrin schools, apprentice programs and jobs in the service fields should be looked at.” Miller calls the military “a fine choice for some students,” but adds "the key to success for some students, however, is a willingness to roll up your sleeves and do a day's work for a day's pay. Employers are always willing to hire hard working, dedicated employees.” Stephen I. Johnson, president of Hastings Manufacturing, urges graduates to look into higher education, whether college or some kind of training school. He notes that less people will be doing manual labor in the future, and more people will be directing, repairing and laiilding robots. "Students should look towards ad­ vanced training to prepare themselves for the coming electronic revolution,” says Johnson, “For instance, take computers. In the future, a lot more people will be needed in computer training and usage. In the next 25 years or so, we will be seeing more and more computers being used, and less and less of the normal job catagories we see today.” Dr. Richard M. Delnay, a urological surgeon, says he entered the military after high school, and it was during those four years that he decided to enter the medical profession. "The most important thing is to find out what your interests are, what you like doing. There's no job that pays well enough to justify doing something you don't like,” says Delnay. Delnay says continued education is a good idea, “but I have nothing against on-the-job training. Thereare many jobs, such as mine, where advanced education is mandatory, but many more where the skill can be learned simply by doing." Dave Storms Probate Judge Richard Laughrin says it is important for grads to inventory what he or she has to offer an employer, then take their list to a prospective employer. The whole purpose of education, says the judge, is to prepare oneself for opportunity. He calls academic studies only "one form of education.” and says that acquiring skills is another form. As for the military, Laughrin, a one-time paratrooper, calls military service “an excellent opportunity today to acquire skills and knowledge and opportunity for career advancement." Dave Storms, Hastings YMCA youth council director, says grads should get as much education as possible. "Whether they decide to go to a trade school, junior college, or a four-year institution, a continued education is very important," says Storms. He warns grads that "Jobs won’t come to them, they will have to go out looking for jobs," and he urges job hunters to be flexible, enthusiastic, and to dress well for the in­ terview. John Cottrell, assistant vice president of personnel and marketing for the Hastings City Bank, says that if a graduate has not obtained a marketable skill through vocational courses in school, "then he or she should seriously consider post-secondary education. “My advice to those not going on is to be as flexible as possible both in their short term goals and their geographic locations." Cottrell calls the military an option for those grads who are so inclined. �’he Hastings Banner.

ATTEND YOUR CHOSEN HOUSE OF WORSHIP The U.S. Dept, of Agriculture has an­ nounced a new monthly reporting and budgeting system that is expected to im­ prove program administration and save $280 million in fiscal year 1984. after it is im­ plemented by all of the Slates. Mary C. Jarratt. Assistant Secretary of Agriculture, said the system changes the way benefits are computed and requires monthly reports of incom'* from most par­ ticipants. "This will improve the program s operation because it will base benefits on a family's actual financial status rather than anticipating what next months status will be.” Jarrett said. Many States have im­ plemented similar systems for their Aid to Families with Dependent Children programs The new system will allow States to incorporate the food stamp and AFDC programs into a single coordinated system of reporting and Imdgeting for both programs VERMONTVILLE - Ethel B.

Johnston A Hastings Democrat and an Ionia Republican have announced as candidates for slate representative in the 88th District, while 11 people filed positions for the seat with the Secretary of State. The district includes all of Ionia and Barry counties, except for Thornapple and Yankee Springs townships. Robert Edwards, a Hastings Democrat, and Michael Fracker. an Ionia Republican, released statements this week announcing that they are candidates for the post. Edwards, 38, of 3793 Gun I>ake Rd.. Hastings is a graduate of Olivet College and earned a master’s degree in administration from Eastern Michigan University. He served a two-year term as supervisor for Leoni Township in Jackson County and served on the Michigan Townships Association board of directors. He was later employed by the MTA for eight years, and was named director of legislation in 1975. Since leaving the association, he has operated his own lobbying office in Lansing. Fracker of 417 Harter St., Ionia is a teacher at the Michigan Reformatory Dormatory, where he has worked for seven and one-half years. He graduated from Jackson Community College and Western Michigan University and is currently attending administration classes at Central Michigan Univeristy. Fracker has also taught high school completion classes in Ionia and Lakewood Public Schools. He worked as a factory employee at Goodyear and Aeroquip, as an insurance salesman for Western and Southern Life, and as a carpenter's ap­ prentice. Fracker is a member of the Ionia Educational Association, the Michigan State Employees Association, the board of directors of the Ionia Jaycees, MENSA In­ ternational, Correctional Education Association and St. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Innia. In his campaign announcement, he said he believes that property taxes are inherently unfair to Iht homeowner, the farmer and the businessman. He would like lo see a tax shift from property taxes to a gross income lax. His proposal would exempt small businesses from paying on a proportion of their first earnings. Fracker said he doesn’t think across the board tax cuts and a reduction in services are the answers to our economic problems. Ronald Reisterer. 31. a Comstock Junior High School teacher who was the first can­ didate to announce for the seat, released a statement last week when he filed his nominating petitions. Reisterer listed his address as Rl. 3, Guy Rd., Nashville, a home owned by James Rice. Reisterer said he is renting from Rice until he can sell his home in Comstock and purchase one in Barrj County. "I declared my candidacy in April of 1981,’’ he said. "At the same time, I declared that if I was going to be gerrymandered out of the Barry County area, I would change my address to Barry County. I have con­ centrated all of my efforts in Barry. The people of Barry County epitomize the values that I myself hold." Reisterer served as a regional field director for the Reagan campaign in 1980, heading the Third ano Fourth Congressional Districts. He also was a Reagan delegate to the Republican National Convention. The theme of his campaign is economic growth through private enterprise and his slogan is lower taxes through less govern­ ment. Other Republican candidates who have filed for the 88th District seat are Robert Bender, 2998 Wood School Rd., Middleville; Samuel McKeown, 875 N. Middleville Rd., Hastings; Jerry Bullard, 613 Lafayette St., Ionia; David C. Bennett, 606 Lyons Rd., Portland; Thomas Lower, 634 Morse, Ionia; Craig W. Starkweather. 850 E. Lincoln, Ionia; and Blase Kearney, 401 Center St., Ionia. Rod Bergeron, 1002 Yeoman s, Ionia, has filed as a Democrat. For the new system, the off iciol computer ballot card is placed in a special slot prior to voting. The official ballot with the list of candidates and the millage issue is shown below it. Prior to the voting last week, a public accuracy test of the computer tabulator equipment was ccnducted at the Thorncpple Township Hall. Shirley Eaton (right), chairman of precinct one of the Thcrnapple-Kellogg annual school election, places programmed computer card* into the computer for the test. Assisting her is Pat Sullivan, the school superintendent's secretary. (Bonner photo*) Thomapple Kellogg school election goes computer Mrs. Sullivan shows the new •'computer" system voting booth. She is holding o NOTICE voting computer card that has been placed in a special envelope. By Elaine Gilbert The mechanics of Monday's election in the Thornapple Kellogg School District were unique in Barry County. It is the first school district in the county to use computer voting. The computer equipment actually belongs to Irving and Thornapple townships and the villa 'e of Freeport who are the only governmental units in the county to date who have said good-bye to paper balloting and voting machines lo enter the computer age on election days. The only other computer voting equipment in the county is used by the city of Hastings for absentee balloting, according to the county clerk's office. The townships have used the computer voting system in other elections but Monday was the first time Freeport voters went computer in a school election. Prior to that, Freeport had used paper ballots. .ere’s more preparation before an election with computer voting, but it is suppose to go faster for voters," said Pat Sullivan, secretary for the ThornappleKeliogg Superintendent. An accuracy test of the tabulating equipment must be conducted before each election, according to state law. The test is open to the public and the results are signed and sealed in a locked metal transfer box for safekeeping. The accuracy test is conducted again on election night, just prior to the countdown of votes and immediately after the tally has been completed to make sure nothing has gone awry. The purpose of the tests is to make sure that what the computer counts is the true thing." said Mrs. Sullivan. A set of computer cards are programmed especially for the test, for instance, “to make sure that if someone votes for three can­ didates and they are only supposed to vole for two that the computer kicks it out." she said. In appearance, the "computer" voting booths differ greatly from the standard bulky-looking voting machine. The new voting booths look like an opened suitcase placed on legs. The suitcase-style design makes the unit portable and easy to store. Another difference is that voters are not behind a curtain when they use the new equipment to vole. Partitions on each side of the new booths provide privacy when voters mark their ballots. One ballot, resembling a booklet, is printed for each voting booth. For instance, for Thornapple Kellogg's election Monday, the candidates were listed on one page of the ballot and the millage issue on another page. Each voter is given a separate computer card to insert in a special slot in the booth. A voter uses a special device, like a large needle on a handle, to punch the card and record his or her election decisions. The card is then removed from the slot and placed in an envelope. A special place is provided on the envelope for write-in votes. Lucille Myers, who served as chairman of precinct two in Thornapple Kellogg's Monday election, is enthusiastic about the new computer voting system. "We like it," she says. "It takes time getting use to it but it’s simple to count at night because you don't have a lot of paper work lo do. A ticker tape, with all the in­ formation you need, comes out at the end. A few involved in the election work, comment that if they had a choice they would prefer to go back to the standard voting machine. Voter reaction lo the computer system is mixed too. Mrs. Myers says some will say "I like the others (voting machines) better" and others will say "There wasn't anything to IL..it was great " The Hastings Area Board of Education has scheduled a ...

State St. Hastings Ph. 945-2963 Ted Bustance, Barry Transit manager, firmly believes that Barry County can one day have a cost-efficient, self supporting bus system. Priorities are the key to Barry Transit success by Ken Reibel cover the $150,000 he predicts his system will need to remain viable during its fourth year of operation. Bustance measures public acceptance of the transit system in riders per hour. In February, when the system started, there were 3 riders per hour. In March that number jumped to 4, April 4.5, May 5.08 and Bustance predicts by the end of July there will 5.5. For next year Bustance has predicted 10 riders per hour in his system “The state says ten persons per hour is not possible, but that’s a challenge my people will have to accept," says Bustance. Bustance says he will do anything that is necessary to get more business for Barry Transit. He plans to have advertising flyers distributed door to door this summer, and looks to providing charter service to outcounty areas, including runs »o Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids hospitals for outpatients who need regular therapy. Ted Buslance, Barry County Transit manager, outlined his plan for a costefficient. self-supporting transit system to a luncheon gathering of the Chamber of Commerce, Tuesday, June 15. Currently, the system is 100 percent funded by the gas tax, and will be through next year, when funding drops to 75 percent. Bustance looks to wean his system away from state funding by consolidating the bus services of several area agencies, thus saving those agencies money, and possibly Barry County taxpayers from having to pay extra millage down the road. Bustance believes he can contract for the transit services of Barry County In­ termediate School District, Barry County Mental Health and Calhoun County Head Start. Funds from these sources, plus fares from Commission on Aging passengers and the general public, he feels, will be enough to Owls didn't “give a hoot” Seven screech owls last week kept Dick and Shire Johncock and sons prisoners in their own home in Nashville near Putnam Park. The problem was first apparent June 7 when Dick attempted to bring in his dogs from a pen in the yard. The birds swooped down and attacked Dick. Finally, he had to secure help to rescue the dogs. Gene Koetje, acting police chief, and Lee Christopher and John Joseph of the Nashville fire department arrived on the scene. The men donned firemen’s helmets and rain coats and got the dogs out of the pen and into the house. The next day the situation had not im­ proved. Anyone daring to venture out of the Johncock residence was "dive-bombed” by the screeching owls. A call to the county conservation office of the Dept, of Natural Resources proved to be of little help. The Johncocks were advised lo shoot the owls. It is assumed that the owl's actions may have been a signal that they have young ones in a nest in the tree near the dog pen, which they feel are threatened by the presence of humans. At the end of the week, the owls apparently had moved on and the problem had disappeared along with the birds. Senior Citizens entertained, donate funds The Hastings Area Senior Citizens held their monthly meeting Monday, May 24, at noon. A potluck dinner, attended by 42 seniors, was followed by entertainment, a business meeting, and celebration of bir­ th davs. The Hope Tria with Ronald Hesterly, Bob Fuller, and Don Reid, entertained the group with singing and instrumental music. Lottie Matthews chaired the business meeting. Merle Cooley reported that the CAC election will be held June 15. The mem­ bership deadline is June 11.

South Haven pitcher Wilma Haumerson, with her team on lop 5-3. walked a pair of Saxons and gave up a single to load the bases. South Haven Coach Doree Roudebush paced nervously in front of the Ram dugout. The Hastings Saxons, with memories of a district title at Moline still fresh in their minds, lined up in front of their dugout to see what would happen. Haumerson kept her cool and go’ lead off hitter Tammy Connor to hit a hard grounder to shortstop Tina Hostetler. The slick fielding shortstop fired home for the force and the second out of the inning. A throw by catcher Tracy Greenman to get the double play got away at third and one Saxon run scored. South Haven moved one out closer and the Saxons one out farther from the regional title, but the game as Yogi Berra would say “isn’t over until it's over”. The score read 54, runners were perched on second and third and catcher Amy Stack approached the plate. Stack rifled a shot towards left field, but Hostetler was there again, firing to first on the one hopper and wrapping up a regional title for the Rams and a trip to the state semifinals tonight. "What can you say after an effort like that?" Saxon Coach Judy Anderson asked. “We played hard, we made only one error and we almost had them.' “If we could have got some hits when we had people on base, it would have been a different story,” she added. “I can’t ask my players to do anything more than hit it hard someplace. Their shortstop made the plays, that’s the story right there.” Roudebush echoed Anderson's praise for Hostetler. “She has made the plays •'ll year long," the South Haven coach said. “She is one of those players that likes to have the ball hit to her." Hostetler, Haumerson and company had reached the final game with a C-l win in the second game of the day over Harper Creek. In the opener the Saxons used an eight run first inning to key a 15-8 win over Hudsonville Unity Christian. The final game started with Hastings pitcher Sheri Blair setting the Rams down in order in the top of the first, and the Saxons scratching for one run in the bottom of the inning. The score stayed at l-o until the Rams turn in the fourth. With two singles and a Greenman triple the Rams jumped in front 31. Maurer singled in Sheri Johncock in the bottom of the fourth to make it 3-2. Things started falling apart in the fifth and the Rams went out in front 5-2 via two singles and two Saxon errors. Senior Dee Lowell got one of the runs back for the Saxons in the bottom of the fifth with a homerun to right center. Both teams went down in order in the sixth, and Blair allowed just a single in the top of the seventh setting the stage for the final dramatics. “I was very nervous, but I was also con­ fident that Wilma would get us out of it," Roudebush admitted of the seventh inning scare. "Just by virtue of her personality Wilma is a confident and competitive person. She was the one we were going with.” Anderson said she thought the Saxons had the game when die bases loaded up. “Their pitcher seemed to be aiming the ball instead of just throwing it in there," Anderson said. "She hadn’t walked a batter until that last inning. We got the runners on, we just didn’t get the hit." Haumerson allowed five hits while striking out two and walking two. Blair suffered the loss allowing five runs on seven hits. She didn’t walk a batter and struck out two. Lowell's homer was the highlight of the Saxon hitting attack. Four other players, Johncock, Maurer, Ha use and Carri Dunn collected singles. After the game the Saxon coaches congratulated the team for their effort and season. “You don’t have anything to hang your heads about," Anderson insisted. “You gave everything you had." The Saxons close out at 17-6 with a district championship behind them, and the knowledge that they are one of the top eight teams in the state. Five Saxons, Johncock, Hause, Lowell, Lisa Cole and Katy Loughrin saw their final action as seniors. Amy Stock slides herd in regionol softboll action Saturday at Allegan.

"The guys are hanging in there, but we can’t seem to get the calls (umpire decisions) or the breaks to go our way," he said. From Friday to Monday the Major suf­ fered four more losses running their record to 1-9 for the season, and 0-4 in the Battle Creek City League. On Friday the Battle Creek Astros shut the Majors out 3-0. The Majors collected only five hits and made Carl Norris the hard luck loser on the mound. He went the distance giving up just seven hits. The Astros scored in the first on a double and a single after two were out, and then added their final runs in the fourth in­ ning. With two outs and the bases loaded the Major’s committed two errors in-a-row. The five players that collected singles for the Majors are Brad King, Mike Hause. Steve Hammond. Dann Howitt and Bob Hause. On Saturday the Majors took it on the nose twice. 15-12 and 8-5, at the hands of OK Wrecking. Dann Howitt collected four hits and Keiichi Iwasaki. an addition to the roster from Pennfield. stroked a pair of singles in the losing cause. Greg Gielarowski and John Rop also singled for the Majors. The Majors used two pitchers. Dave Reardon started and took the loss, and Bob Hause came on in relief.

June 17, 1982 — Page 10 Outdoor Report; Most people's quick mental image of a snapping turtle conjures up a slow, clumsy animal with a short-fused temper. While this is often an accurate presen­ tation of this critter, they do have some redeeming qualities, the Department of Natural Resources says. "The snapping turtle is an opportunist eating both carrion (dead) and live critters, whatever he comes across or can catch," the DNR reports. "Most often his diet consists of dead fish, but occasionally he can catch a live fish, frog, snake or duckling." The DNR compares their scavenger like ways to opposums, vultures and crows. "Snapping turtle meat is very tasty, considered a delicacy by many," the DNR adds. "The meat is a bit stringy but reminds many people of chicken. Some people can discern seven different kinds (cuts) of meat on a turtle.'1 Turtles are trapped and hunted. The hunters, via their techniques seem to be a daring bunch. Some of them slap the wn’er with a board to get the turtles to surface and then dive again. Then the hunter moves to the spot where the turtle dove and feels around with his bare hands and feet. When he finds one he grabs it by the tail. Another technique is to feel around log jams an under banks until finding one and making the grab. The elite o.' bowhunting including the legendary Fred Bear, will be on hand June 18-20 at ae 4th annual Bowhunter's Clinic in Grand Ledge. Over 50 manufacturers of archery related equipment will have displays. Several movies, presentations and speeches will be part of the three day event. It all takes place at Anderson Archery Corporation, W. Jefferson in Grand Ledge. Clinic hours are 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday; 10:15 to 7 p.m. on Saturday and 10:15 until 3 p.m. on Sunday. Cost for the three days is $1. Robert Bateman, considered by many to be the world's foremost wildlife artist, will head a panel of judges for the third annual Michigan Wildlife Artist of the Year Com­ petition. Sponsored by the Michgian United Con­ servation Clubs (MUCC), the special exhibition and judging will be held Thursday. September 16, in Long's Convention Center in Lansing. The winning artist will receive a $1,000 cash prize from MUCC and his or her entry will appear on the cover of the December issue of Michigan Out-Of-Doors, the monthly magazine published by MUCC. A limited edition of prints of the painting signed and numbered by the artist will be issued by MUCC for public sale. Previous winners of the competition are Gijsbert van Frankenhuyzen of Bath in 1980 and Rod Lawrence of Kaikaska in 1981. Both were guests at last year’s Thomapple Ducks Unlimited banquet in Hastings. Bateman, a 51-year old Canadian, has painted Birds and mammals throughout the world and in recent years has been widely acclaimed as the must talented of al) wildlife painters.

Walsh, 53, the director at the park for 12 years, to resign. Two weeks ago Kensinger Joiies, chair­ man of the Parks and Recreation Com­ mission, turned in his resignation men­ tioning problems with being on the “minority side” in the campground question. Both men have said they are not against a campground in Charlton Park, but believe further study is needed before going ahead with the proposal. The park announced. Mar. 15, that a special commit’ee of the com­ mission had recommended a campground be built to create additional income. Walsh said that slice the controversy arose, the Parks and Recreation Com­ mission has been doing what the director should be doing. “They are getting involved in the day to day direction of the park,” he said. “I couldn't do anything unless the board ap­ proved it. And the board has several factions going in different directions and doing their own thing." Walsh said the board is not qualified to run the park. "None of them know anything about the ins and outs or operation of the park on a day to day basis,” he said. “A couple of them have been camping a couple of times and they think that makes them experts. And a couple of them have been to a museum once or twice, and that means they know everything about museums.” Ed McPharlin, acting chairman of the Parks and Recreation Commission, said he didn’t know of any commission member giving Walsh day to day directions. “Frank is the type that doesn't like to be told what to do, and I don’t think too many of us like that,’’ McPharlin said. "As an em­ ployee of the commission, all we try to do is give him some direction. Walsh said he is not bitter about the resignation, but he is concerned about the direction of the park. "I have done what they asked me to do when I came here 12 years ago,” he said, “but I’m concerned about what is going on, and what could happen to the park." Walsh said the problems started after details of a cost effectiveness report he prepared on camping appeared in the Banner. “They objected to the director doing a report,” he said. "They were talking about developing a campground without cost analysis, and without research on whether it would turn a profit or not. "They said it would and that was it.” Walsh said his report revealed that for the first couple of years a campground might not make money, but after that a profit was possible. “I thought by doing the report I was doing my job. It wasn't derogatory,” Walsh said. “They seemed to be more upset that it ap­ peared in the paper, than the fact that I did the report. They told me I didn’t have any authority to do a report, that they didn’t ask for it and that it sho'ildn't have been done.” McPharlin said that Walsh should not have released the report before consulting with the commission “That wasn't his job," McPharlin said. "The commission is supposed to run the park and keep it going. The commission hires a director and he in turn hires people to help him do the job.” Walsh said he never saw any plans for a proposed campground. "Just prior to the zoning hearing (for a change that would allow campgrounds under a special use permit) they hired a man from Grand Rapids and all he did was come up with a sketch of a campground that could have been anyplace." Walsh said his major concern with the park was that the commission wasn't con­ sidering if there were enough adequate and private campgrounds in the area. "I felt the park should not present com­ petition to private business, primarily the campgrounds onThronapple Lake,” he said. “I don't believe government should be in competition with private business.” Walsh said much of the problem stems from the way the Commission is set up under Public Act 261 guidelines. "First of all Act 261 deals more with parks as e whole and is not set up for an historic area," he said. "Also four members of the board are on there by statute. One has to be a county commission member, one has to be the drain commissioner, one has to be from planning and zoning and one has to be from the road commission.” Walsh said. “With money tight like it is in these times, .hat means that four people on the board are fighting for their own board's chunk of the county money." Walsh said he believes the park should be run by a board, but that the board be ap­ pointed differently. "I think the best way to run it. is to have a board of people concerned about the park itself," he said. “Get it out of the political arena and get people that are interested in promoting the park.” McPharlin said that when Walsh was hired Hastings 12 years ago the job was different than it is now. "He was hired pretty much as a curator and that's what he did," McPharlin said. “But as time changed and new people came on the board with new ideas, Frank still had his ideas. He was a good curator, but I don't think he liked the administrative duties that the job has now." McPharlin said that discussion has not taken place by the board on replacing Walsh. “Right now we want to keep the people happy that are still out there, and keep them going about their work,” he said. “It may take two or three months to advertise and interview for a new director.” Walsh said if the commission hires a new director he will be a “yes man". "That is what they want,” he said. “I've offered to help them in any way I can as far as a replacement. They haven't contacted me in regards to that.” When Walsh started as director of the park in 1970, only the second floor of the museum was open.

Then the buildings started moving in. The first to arrive was Bristol Inn, and it was followed over the years by the church, the school, the Mutual Building, the hardware store, the general store, the print shop, Hall House, Sixberry House and just recently the Hastings Township Hall. Also over the years a beach was built and expanded, a boat launch was constructed and three picnic shelters were added. “You never spend that much time and energy on something and just walk away without feeling,” Walsh said. "I enjoyed my 12 years here." Walsh is officially on vacation until Aug. 16. He said he hopes to have started a new job in Muskegon County by then. The com­ mission has given him permission to finish up a few projects that he is working on, in­ cluding another historical building. McPharlin said he thinks Walsh had been negotiating with the Muskegon County Museum for "quite a while”.

They call out “Hello Mr. Smith", and want to talk to him. "The mothers are frantic, seeing their kids talking to a stranger.” says Smith. But the Barry County Sheriff Department seargent is no stranger to most of the young people in these parts.

Smith travelled to Warren to receive the “Peace Officer of the Year Award” from the Fraternal Order of Police, at the organization's annual banquet. The FOP chose Smith from among more than 100 nominees statewide for his com­ munity service work as the county's crime prevention officer. He took on that task in 1978 with the help of a grant, and continued on even after funds for his work were cut completely in 1980. Department budget cuts followed a year later, and Smith could only continue crime prevention by accepting marine and snowmobile patrol duties. Then came further cuts last January, and the marine and snowmobile duties went. Without money for crime prevention. Smith began spending his own time and money to continue the program, the only one in BarryCounty. "It’s awfully hard to just stop some of these projects once you get used to them.” says Smith. Readmits, though, that it’s hard to keep up a full schedule of volunteer work along with his regular full time duties. Back in the days when Smith was working on department time, he would take a week to lecture an entire school, class by class. That's when he me» a Int of his little friends. He still keeps plenty busy, though. Wed­ nesday night found him teaching CPR at a private residence, and later in the week he teaches a self-protection class to a women’s group in Irving. “I don't want people to get the idea that I do something every night,” says Smith. "The only reason I received this award was through the cooperation and support of my department,” says Smith, which is what he told the 500 or so gathered at the FOP banquet Monday night upon accepting his award. As Smith spoke, a patrolman came into the dispatch room to relieve him so he could prepare materials for his CPR class. He also works as an instructor for his department, teaching pistol qualification, gun safety, first aid, CPR, snowmobile and marine safety and hunter safety. And if that isn't enough, he is also vice president and a charter member of the West Michigan Crime Prevention Association, and he is on the steering committee for the Michigan Farm Bureau Rural Crime Prevention Council. Smith has worked hard at rural crime prevention since 1978. Through "Operation ID”, he has assisted over 100 farmers in marking their belongings for easier iden­ tification. which assists police in identifying stolen properly: , Among Smith’s numerous awards, he has received a certificate from the Michigan State Police for outstanding leadership in the law enforcement career camp, sponsored by the State Police and Kiwanis. And in 1978, he was named outstanding young law- en­ forcement officer by the Hastings Jaycees. In 1980, he was presented the Michigan Sheriff Association award for life saving, and he will most surely be nominated for that award this year for the December 1981 recue of a four-year-old near-drowning victim.

Although the township it serves has changed through modem limes of growth, the Carlton Township Hall itself remains much the same as it was when it was built in 1867. Saturday, Carlton Township Hall — the fourth oldest township hall in the slate — will be formally dedicated as a Michigan Historic Site. The ceremony will begin at 10 a.m. and the public is invited. Members of the Carlton Township Board and the Barry County Historical Society will participate in the dedication. The Michigan Historical Commission is expected to be represented Dennis A. McKelvey, former supervisor of the township, will be a special guest of the township board.

Carlton Township voters are being asked to say yes to a renewal of up to 1.5 mills, as needed, for five years for funding fire protection. In Irving Township, the ballot proposal seeks to renew 1.5 mills for fire and am­ bulance protection for a period of four years.

The county historical society contributed one-half of the cost of the historic marker for the hall. The Hastings Board of Education ap­ proved a Spartan final budget at a special meeting Tuesday night. A total operating budget for the upcoming school year of $6,808,515 is $433,570 less than the 1981-82 budget. The largest cuts came in the areas of teacher, custodial, and secretarial salaries. However, fully 46 percent of the new budget is unknown, according to Richard Guenther, Hastings school superintendent, “because we don’t know what our income is going to be.” Guenther pointed out that many factors could drastically change the new budget, saying "Another governor’s executive order could cut funds even lower." Most board members seemed to agree with Robert Gross who called the budget “our best, guess.” Attendance at the meeting was small, but there was no lack of audience participation. Defeated board candidates Judy Sharp and Hugh Fullerton were on hand to question board members over many of the budget’s figures. Guenther called the exchange "the best give and take" that he’s seen over a budget since 1960. The board also voted unanimously to ac­ cept Guenther's recomendation to adopt a new operational millage rate in accordance with Michigan’s Truth in Taxation law. The law works to offset an increase of almost $6 million in the 1982-83 net State Equalized Value for the district.

The first festival will feature bluegrass and old-time music. The stage for the festival is set at the focal point of the park's natural amphitheater, nestled on the banks of the Thornapple River. People bring along chairs and blankets to settle in for a relaxing afternoon and when they need to stretch, they amble through the buildings of the historical village that are restored to their original Barry County character of a hundred years ago. Bands performing will the The Olde Michigan Ruffwater Stringband from the Rochester Area, Sweet Corn String Band of Kalamazoo, the Williams Family of Byron Center, R&L Bluegrass Express from the central Michigan area and Bosom Buddies from the Lansing area. The Olde Michigan Ruffwater Stringband is a collection oi dulcimers, fiddies, banjos, guitar, bass and other intruments that grew out of the Paint Creek Folklore Society of Rochester and the Detroit Country Dance Society. Popular at Greefield Village, the stringband will perform old Michigan, early American and British Isles tunes. Sweet Com String Band has performed every year at the Thomapple Music Festival since its inception in 1975. The Kalamazoo group specializes in four-part harmonies on traditional bluegrass and old-time tunes. The Williams Family presents a show of modern and traditional bluegrass music that is punctuated with the fiddle playing of the father. Larry Williams, and the tight brother-sister harmonies of family mem­ bers. The family has a solid following in the Grand Rapids area, where they make a number of appearances throughout the year. Performing for the first time on the Charlton Park stage will be R&L Bluegrass Express, though banjo player Red Martin has appeared with several groups at previous festivals. The band was formed in 1978 by Ralph Paige, Jr., of Jonesville, a native of Boone County, West Virginia, who reaches to his southern roots to sing original bluegrass style tenor. Bosom Buddies has spent much of the past year since their first appearance at Charlton Park traveling the country as they have improved their style and built up a following for the all-female bluegrass music. Charlton Park is located five miles east of Hastings off M-79. Other attractions at the park are a beach and recreation area, which include nature trails, a boat launch and picnic areas. The second Thornapple Music Festival is scheduled for August 1, featuring bluegrass, contemporary bluegrass and swing style music.

Solid Waste plan nearing completion Barry Township approves dance permit for Delton restaurant The Barry Township Board approved the reinstatement of a dance-entertainment permit for Mr. Thirsty’s tavern in Delton, at the board's June 1 meeting. The permit originally belonged to a tavern on th«* west side of main street, Delton, ac­ cording to William Wooer, Township Supervisor. He says the tavern burned down, and Leon Boone picked up the bar license and dance permit, then built a new bar across the street. Boone then decided he really just wanted a restaurant, so he dropped the dance permit. “He (Boone) had problems with the building inspector and the zoning committee, so he sold the place to the current owner and went to Kalamazoo, instead." says Wooer. “This is a problem for Barry County. The planning and zoning board, by their actions, are driving businesses out off the County, which is wrong." The board also adopted a resolution for the Barry County Road Commission to work with Consumers Power Co., to re-set power poles, cut down a high bank, and repair the corner al Lang and Sheffield Rds. The project, costing $800, is necessary says Wooer, because the bank is so high that people can’t see around the corner. He says this is a potentially hazardous situation. "Consumers Power has 60 feet of right-ofway from the road,” Wooer says, “so the County will grade up to within about three feet of the poles and call Consumers. Con­ sumers will come out and put in new poles, then pull out the old ones. The County will then cut down the rest of the bank." Med product manufacturer anticipates Hastings plant Medi-Dyne Inc., an Illinois registered company engaged in research and development of medical products, an­ ticipates the imminent opening of an office and manufacturing site in Hastings, ac­ cording to Bruce T. Shattuck, Medi-Dyne president. In preparation for the move, Shattuck and his family have purchased a home in Hastings and plan to move in by June 26. Medi-Dyne will begin its local operations developing two anesthesia products on site. Additional products will be produced by outside contract manufacturers, according to Shattuck. Shattuck says that employment op­ portunities “will initially be minimal, but are expected to increase as Medi-Dyne's sales growth demands greater production capability." Shattuck says that virtually all of MediDyne’s shareholders are members of the medical profession, making it unique among health-care companies. The company’s board chairman, Alon P. Winnie. M.D.. recently received the "Labat Award”, ©ven annually to the outstanding humanitarian in the field of anesthesiology. Winnie is the immediate past president of the Society of Regional Anesthesia in America, with over 9.000 members. He is also chair­ man of the department of anesthesia at the University of Illinois Medical Center in Chicago, and is much in demand as a lec­ turer on anesthesia, both here and broad, according to a Medi-Dyne p~ess release. Medi-Dyne's Shattuck came to the com­ pany from the Bioquest Scientific Division of the Beckton-Dickenson Corp. He served as vice president of marketing and sales of bacteriological and microbiological products to university centers and pharmaceutical companies. Two candidates seek to fill County Drain Commissioner’s post “Closed Indefinitely” seen as appalling TO THE EDITOR: During the week of the Hastings High School Alumni festivities I had an occasion to lour the junior high and senior high school facilities. I had not seen either building in 40 years. And, although I was interested in seeing the innovative structural changes, I was making my observations through the eyes of a junior high school teacher of 20 years and a college reference librarian of 13 years. I was appalled tc see the negligable junior high library and shocked to see a “Closed In­ definitely" sign on the senior high library door. In a time of constant technological and communications change it is inconceivable to me that the young minds in my hometown are being denied any tool which might help them cope in today's society. It is astounding to me that the Ratings classroom teachers are being handicapped in their efforts to bring visual media to their students. How can the school board and the administrative personnel of the Hastings Public Schools justify sending graduates into the colleges totally unequipped to deal with today's academic programs? No student can hope to aclieive excellence in the world of academe without library skills. These skills can only be developed by constant usage of adequately selected collections house in open librarys! Marjorie Hill Isenhath Class of 1942 Former teacher upset over cutbacks TO THE EDITOR : I am writing this letter before I know the results of the election held June 14, 1962. First, I would like to thank Jo Ann Fluke, Bill Cotant, Jack Walton and Bob Godfrey for the many years of devoted service they have given to the teachers, students, and residents of the Hastings Area Public School. The recent news of the need to pink slip 31 teachers and the services they provide up­ sets me considerably. I may not be in Hastings physically but my thoughts are there part of every day. It hurts to think the children and students I love will not receive the best education they are entitled to rece’ve. When I was interviewing for a job in the Spring of 1945, Western Michigan University placement bureau told me Hastings was rated one of the top two school stystems in the state. I felt very fortunate when I was offered the position of kindergarten teacher with a salary of $1700. During the next 34 years I know we had an excellent rating in academic standards. I’ll admit there were probably areas we could have done better but the students who went on to further their education had received an excellent background. I'm well aware of the need to spend less money. (I retired several years before I’d planned to and Manistee County has an unemployment rate exceeding 20 percent) but it is a time when we need to put our own thoughts away and give the children, our future leaders, the 13 years of the quality of education they are entitled to and need. It is hard for me to conceive of an educational system in Hastings without a school lite-ary, counseling services, minus some of the excellent teachers not accredited by North Centra! Association plus some of the programs already dropped. Schools had elementary art and music during the “Great Depression in the 30’s". I realize there are many people that don’t know the amour* of work or time the counseling department spends on scheduling and giving tests required for college ad­ mittance. Who will be qualified to give the tests? Without a library where will the students do reserach projects, only one of its many uses? My hopes and prayers are that the new Board of Education, Administration, Hastings Educational Association and the community will work together to give the students of the Hastings area schools the education they derserve!! Ruth Tangerstrom Manistee, Mich. A Democrat and a Republican have filed as candidates to seek the remaining two years of the Barry County Drain Com­ missioner's post, vacated by the resignation of J. Ray Bratton al the end of last year. The Republican candidate is Audrey R. Burdick, former deputy drain commissioner, who was appointed in January to serve as drain commissioner until the next general election in November. Warren L. Arnold, a retired businessman, is the Democratic candidate for the post. Mrs. Burdick, of 226 W. Nelson in Hastings, said she decided to be a candidate “for the same reasons they appointed me." Pract’cal experience and working knowledge of the duties were among the reasons she was selected by a committee comprised of Probate Judge Richard N. Loughrin, County Clerk Norval Thaler, and Prosecuting Attorney Judy Hughes. They also selected her to give continuity to the continuation of the Gun Lake and Gull Lake sewer projects, Mrs. Burdick said. “There are many projects not completed that need follow-up. In addition to the two sewer projects. I’m involved in 19 different drain projects in various stages of com­ pletion. Mrs. Burdick has served on the state drain commissioner's legislative committee and said she had input in the proposed new Michigan Drain Code which is pending as HB 5424. “Il's important to Michigan and to farmers...it'll make a big difference," she said. "I do enjoy the work and it is a full-time job and I’m willing to make it a full-time com­ mitment," she said. Before serving two years as deputy drain commissioner, Mrs. Burdick was a county employee, since 1969, working in both circuit and probate court offices. She says her knowledge of various county offices is beneficial in her duties as drain com­ missioner. She has also been involved in public relations work in another state. Mrs. Burdick is an active member of the Hastings chapter of Business and Professional Women. Arnold, of 515 Rork Rd., Hastings, said his 30-years in excavting, drainage and the construction business has given him the experience and qualifications he feels are needed for the drain commissioner’s post. He said he decided to become a candidate because “I’m retired and at 55, I'm to young to quit working. “I was in business lor myself and during the course of my business I’ve worked with the county and city and mayors. I’ve been involved with sewers and water mains. I’ve contracted jobs up to a million dollars. “I'm familiar with the work that has to be done (as drain commissioner). The job needs someone who has a basic understanding of business,” s.aid Arnold. "We need people in elected offices, all over America, to get the job done. Hopefully, I can be elected and motivate others to get on with it and get jobs done," he said. Arnold is a former trustee on the Rutland Township Board, serving in that capacity for two years. He’s been finance officer of the American l^egion in Hastings and is a life member ol the VFW in Nashville. Other affiliations include the Moose Lodge and the Legion of the Moose. Woodland Lions install officers Members and guests of the Woodland Lions Club met al Middle Villa Inn, Mid­ dleville, Tuesday evening to hold a banquet and install club officers for the next year. After a welcome and a flag salut?, Lion Pastor Tim Rolhfuss gave the invocation. Tom Niethamer served as toastmaster and because of a last minute cancellation, he also conducted the installation ceremony. Officers installed for the 1982-83 year were Eduard Markwart, President; MikeWrubel, First Vice-Presiden), George Speas, Second Vice-President, and Tom Gilliland, Third Vice-President. Cliff Mattson will serve as First-Year Director, Jim Lucas will be Second-Year Director, as well as Treasurer. Willis Dalton, George Schaibly will be Treasurer. Art Meade. Tail Twister, and Lyle Sandbrook, Lion Tamer. Door prizes were given to the ladies, and a slide program of Spain was given by Larry Smith of Smith Brothers Elevator.

Chris Cole, of Delton, is taking her family to King's Island Amusement Park in Cin­ cinnati this summer. “We normally just take the kids where they want to go," she says, "My husband and I enjoy it too, but it’s more or less the kid’s vacation." Ed Hammond of Hastings says he likes to spend time at his cabin near Baldwin, which he owns with his father and his brother. “I haven’t been up there yet this year,' says Hammond, “but my brother and my dad just got back." Hammond adds that he lias no reason to leave Michigan for a vacation. “I like the weather,” he says. John Hoving is from the Chicago area, and has been saying "yes" to Michigan for years, taking his family to Gun Lake to visit his folks. He calls his annual visit "a freebie”. Mrs. Stanley Malec of Grand Rapids will be travelling to Quincy, Illinois this summer to see her son.’ Ordinarily, though, Mrs. Malec and her husband say yes to Michigan by spending time on their property near Ludingloa Mrs. Malec was spending time in her daughter's shop here. Floyd Yesh says yes. Every year he takes a trip through the Upper Peninsula. "I’ve been to other states." says Yesh, “but I like Michigan the best.” “I'm staying in Michigan this summer," says Fran Mountjoy of Mason, "because I can’t afford anyplace else. I’m unem­ ployed." She says she's spent many summer vacations at her mother’s house in Mackinaw City. Carol Achten calls herself "a faithful Michigander". She plans to stay in th*: s'ate this summer, but does plan an excursion to Texas this winter to see her daughter. Achten says when she lived in Kankakee, Illinois, she came to Michigan for her vacations. "But I liked it so much, 1 stayed,” says Achten. Phil Mead, of Lansing, says finances will keep his family in Michigan this summer. The former Hastings resident says the family usually vacations around Cadillac, but this summer will probably settle for a one-day excursion to Greenfield Village. �The Hastings Banner — Thursday, June 24, 1982 — Page 3 ^IdJeddinqS and ddne^ar^ements 40th open house for Howard Thalers Buckoski-Davidson engagement told Lora Priebe and Robert Baines exchange vows On April 17 guests gathered in mid________ __ Lake afternoon at __ the _Bostwick Congregational Church in Rockford for the marriage of Lora Anne Priebe and Robert Eric Baines.

Supporters of Cora Lee Clark, a former student of Maple Valley High School, say the young woman suffered a stroke three years ago during childbirth in Bossier City, Louisiana, and later lost her sight in surgery. According to news reports, she was committed to an institution May 3, 1979, the same day as the delivery, on the recom­ mendations of a single doctor. In committing the woman, Carol S. Nichols, M.D., an Air Force doctor, wrote “She is unable to care for any of her personal needs. She, at this time is declared total (sic) incompetent to hand (sic) financial matters or to attend to any of her needs. She will require constant custodial care.” Cora Lee’s supporters say her husband, Gary C. Clark, is in the Air Force, away from his stricken wife, and refuses to allow Cora Lee to return home. Cora Lee is currently living in the Com­ munity Skills Nursing Home in Warren, Ohio. Cora Lee (Whitinger) Clark Claflin says signed petitions will be delivered to government representatives in an effort to get action. Cora Lee’s parents, George and LueEa Whitinger, live in Sault Ste. Marie. Claflin says the girl’s parents have been visiting their daughter for the last three years “as utten as they can", but that she needs therapy which she is not getting in Ohio. Petitions will be placed in various businesses throughout town. Claflin says anyone needing petitions should call her at 517-566-8119. ATTEND SERVICES ...ofyour choice and Le Spiriluaffy rewarded.

County Board hears about work program for ADC recipients The Barry County Board of Com­ missioners Tuesday heard a report about a county work program for welfare recipients. Commissioner Edward Daniels reported that he had met with the head of social services, the road commission, and the park commission to work out an agreement to put people on county relief to work. “There are some good, honest people getting assistance who want to work," Daniels said. The program will benefit an unemployed mother or father from an ADC family. Richard Ritter, director of social services in Barry County, said the road commission will provide 12-job slots and the park com­ mission has four openings. He indicated that several other counties have similar programs. “I think the program is well received,." Ritter said. He also noted that because of the recent state layoffs he has lost four people in his own office. Commissioners voted unanimously to buy only American products from American companies, employing American employees for county purchases. The resolution is patterned after one adopted by Wayne County. A letter to HUD from Planning and Zoning Director Winifred Keller was signed by the commissioners authorizing the sealing of streets in Nashville with HUD money. Approval was given to Jan Hartough, cooperative jxtension director, to renew her office lease at 301. S. Michigan for IMi-years at $344.75 monthly. The board gave power to act to the county facility and property committee lo decide on and employ, if necessary, a professional mover to move the Prosecutor to her new building. The committee is comprised of Bell, Sunior, and Soya. Commissioners voted unanimously to start five prercent wage increases for county association members, department heads, and elected officials on June 28 rather than July 1 to avoid computer problems which would result from a split pay period. There will be a golf outing for Barry County employees Saturday. June 26 at Gun Ridge. Students receive honors at Michigan Tech.

Each week will feature another episode, the story of the people, their dedication and hard work. The articles by Ruth Seibert are written almost entirety from well kept records through the years, many written in pencil that has dimmed through the years so as to be almost illegible in places. Please excuse any errors in names and dates. In the Year of Our Lord 1932 it all began. History in the making. Not history as we think of it today, but history, nonetheless, of people doing things and making things happen No wars, disagreements maybe, changing plans and overcoming obstacles to be together. Fighting for the right to have and be heard and communicate on a common ground was their goal. What better common ground could be found than "The Good Earth and Growing Things”’ Thus on July 25th of that year The Thor­ napple Garden Club was organized by a group of people who had a goal, the love of life and people, birds, plants, all growing things and the joy of sharing. Fifty years have come and gone and still the same goals keep the Thomapple Garden Club alive and well today. Officers for this starting year were President Charles Rogers; First Vice President, Joseph McKnight; Second Vice President, Mrs. W. G. Goodyear; SecretaryTreasurer, Mrs. M. J. Cross. The name was officially adopted "The Thomapnle Garden Club”, an organization for both men and women of Barry County who loved growing things. The minutes of the meetings are a fascinating history of the past 50 years, not only of the club itself but of the changing times and lives and of the continuing growth of the county and the town of Hastings as well. Many a lifelong iriendship was made and this was passed on from one generation to another. With 13 people present, the business of organizing began. The name was made of­ ficial and dues were set at 10 cents per year. The fiscal year was to begin in September with meetings set for the first Thursday of the month at 2 p.m. Mrs. Albertine Bauer acted as Secretary Pro-tem. Starting right out, the first flower show was sei to be held in Hastings in the Goodyear Building on August 15. Member representatives from all areas were chosen with Mrs. James Cool. Freeport; Mrs. J. P. Mohler, Middleville; Mrs. Ray Barnes, Cloverdale; Mrs. Leon Dunning, Delton; and Mrs. L. Valentine. Woodland. It was in September of 1932 that the newlyformed Garden Club really started to work under the able leadership of Charles Rogers and his officers. A place in the Hastings Banner was made available as The Garden Comer each week. Questions and answers and timely adivce to gardners became a weekly feature. J. A. Hoos became the editor for this column. The flower shows, with many men par­ ticipating, became one of the most in­ teresting programs of the club. All sorts of discussions on growing things, flowers, trees, lawns, vegetable gardens and birds all became a big part of this history. The men of the club were very active in these discussions. A constitution and by-laws were adopted, simple by-laws by today's stan­ dards but by-laws nonetheless binding and adhered to still today. Miss Parrot of Woodland was well-known for her knowledge of bulbs and her garden was a show-place of Barry County in the 30's, as were the dahlias grown by Mrs. Steckles of Freeport. 1933 began as a year of organization, membership drives and in February, 29 members began laying the groundwork of The Thornapple Garden Club. Several projects were started back then that are still a part of the club today. Outdoor living rooms, playground development and beautifing city property all came into focus at this time. At the February meeting. Mrs. Walter Wallace announced the club mem­ bers could buy a filing case for garden in­ formation for 25 cents from the Vigero Company. Mrs. Clyde Wilcox of the local flower shop was very active and helped many with her knowledge of flowers and arrangements. At this time a floral display of peonies was set up as a memorial to the late Dr. Upjohn. It was at this meeting that Herman Zerbel and Anthony Hoos were appointed to check with the common council of the city to see that openings were made in the concrete curbs to provide water for the lovely trees lining the streets of the city. Mrs. Garvath of the Welfare Committee talked to the board about furnishing seeds for those who wished to plant gardens and raise tomatoes and vegetables for school lunches on city owned lots. Seeds were to be distributed at the drug store and the Banner office. Mrs. Brewer of the Grand Rapids Garden Garden Club decorates city entrance sign Members of the Thornapple Garden Club dug into their club treasury to pur­ chase $400 in shrubbery to plant around the "Welcome to Hastings" sign located on West State street at the Barry County Fairgrounds. Shown planting the shrubs, Monday, are (kneeling, from left) Margaret Lord, Genevieve Hall, (standing) Joyce Towne, Verna Sunior, vice president, and Lois Roush, president. The club special ordered the purchase of dwarf Japanese barberry and broadmcor juniper bushes. Top soil for the plants was supplied by the city. The "Welcome to Hastings" signs were purchased by a special committee organized by the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce, several years ago. (Banner photo) Club and State President of Garden Clubs brought to the club's attention another longsince forgotten project. The members were asked to write their senators in regards to conserving trees along the state highways and the banning of billboards on these high­ ways. Also they were asked to write regarding Bill 134 which prohibited tree plantings along the highways. The peony was officially adopted in June of 1933 as the flower of the city of Hastings. Later it was to be adopted also as the Barr)County flower. A committee of Mrs. Andrus, Mrs. Burton, Mrs. Cross. Mrs. Rogers, Mrs. Bauer and Mrs. Hoos followed through and the peony was official “The Flower" and June 10 was set as Peony Day. Mrs. Frank Andrus and Mrs. C. D. Bauer were among the first members to attend the State Garden Club meeting in Adrian. The August 1933 Flower Show was a big success with Mrs. Goodyear, Mrs. Andrus and Mrs. Bauer assisting Mr. Giddings with the arrangements for the show. The Garden Club and The Hastings Women's Club cooperated to put on the show held that year in the Young Building on Jefferson St This was the 6th annual Flower Show to be presented in Hastings but only the second in which both clubs participated. It was this year that Roy Chandler made a special exh­ ibit of his prize gladiolas. A valued an J dear member of the club, Mrs. Clara Griswald was given a special eulogy at the September meeting. New members Mrs. R. W. Cook, Mrs. Tyden and Mi's. Groos were welcomed into the club. The club listed more than 10 new members since the start of the year. Officers for the next two years were elected in October as follows: President Mrs. Marian Goodyear; First Vice President, Mrs. V. R. Wininger, Second Vice President, Mrs. J. P. Mohler and Secretary-Treasurer, Mrs. C. D. Bauer. This year the approaches to the city from the main highways were to be beautified according to the regulations of both the state and county highway depart­ ments. The treasurer's report on October 23, 1933 showed a balance of $6.15 on hand. Peonies were planted, and a Peony Day was set with everyone showing peonies along the streets. On May 3, the peony tour was the treat of the city. Tours were routed with the help of Mrs. J. Cross, Mrs. E. A. Burton, Mrs. C. D. Bauer, Mrs. V. R. Wininger. Roy Barres, Victor Helbert, Leon Dunning and J. P. Mohler doing the work of planning and directing. E. J. Pratt and Charles laid out the routes to be followed. Miss Sadie Glasgow was appointed to chair the committee for the Peony Exhibits in the stores. 63 people reported that the tour was really a sight of beauty and suggested that it become an annual affair. Mrs. Lewis Glasgow joined the club. The Flower Shows at that time jointly sponsored by the Garden Club and The Hastings Women's Club were somewhat different from those held today. They had many different departments one of which was the "Quilt and Rug Display” with Mrs. Roy Cordes and Mrs. Roman Feldpausch. Mrs. F. E. Adair showed antiques. Mir. Harry Bennett had “Shadow Boxes". A children's flower and gift show headed by Sadie Glasgow soon became a favorite of the show. Cash on hand as of the end of July 1934 mounted to a new high of $19.11. The divisions of flower show competition took Elks “Hole In One” Contest at ...

Money prizes were given with $1.00 for first, 50 cents for second and 25 cents for third. Because of the large number of displays it was necessary to use two buildings at the Barry County Fairgrounds. 1935 was even bigger and better for the Flower Show with 236 awards being presented. New members included Mrs. Pancoast. Mrs. Alice Bales, Mrs. H. Puree, Mrs. R. K. Hurd and Mrs. Florence Pomroy. Mrs. J. P. Mohler announced that if mem­ bers wished to have shadow boxes electrified it would cost $2.88 and Mr. Robleski, a local electrician would be glad to help do this free of charge. Mrs. Dorothy Sumner took many prizes with her gladiolas and spike plants. After much discussion and many votes it was decided to adopt the Thornapple Shrub (Hawthorne Variety) as the club and county shrub. New officers took over and 1925 year started off with a finance report showing $26.01 on hand. The membership continued to grow and the April 1935 meeting had 40 members and guests present which was a good indication of the coming popularity of this new club. A special treat at this meeting was an original poem read by Mrs. VanLuke and Mrs. Barnes played the harp and sang several old favorite songs. Plants of all kinds were donated by club members to be planted in the bontanical gardens in East Lansing. Plans for the fair exhibit were started for the next year almost before the current year show war held and thus plans for the 1936 show began to shape up. It seemed rather hard to get officers to run the club so it was decided at the time that officers elected would act for two years instead of the usual one year term. Meetings in December, January and Febi.iary because of the weather conditions were called of. Mrs. DeLamo of Allegan spoke to the club in November of the importance of becoming affiliated with the Michigan and National Federation of Garden Clubs. This was to be adopted and the Thornapple Garden would be a member of the federation in 1937. The firr* meeting of the new year on March 11, became a turning point of the organization. Dues were raised to 50 cents a year and the club officially joined the federation. New officers elected for the year and new members Mrs. Cliff Dolan, Mrs. Anna Griffen, Mrs. Ross Johhnson and Mrs. Guy Bauer were welcomed. The treasury took a giant step to a big $21.70 as of the April meeting. It was at this meeting the annual plant exchange was started with Mrs. Roy Fuller starting with the dividing of her iris bulbs. The same plant exchange still con­ tinues today and has been most helpful to all in enlarging gardens with new varieties of plants and flowers. Mrs. Clyde Wilcox of the Hastings Flower Shop and her husband were most helpful to the club in these formative years with frequent visits to the club and advice on many facets of gardening. New members Mrs. David Boyes, Mrs. Gladys Kelly and Mrs. Gertrude Hampton were now a part of this ever growing club with as many as 30 members present at each meeting. Mrs. R. K. Hurd as Delegate with Mrs. Milo DeVries as alternate were elected to attend the county Federation of Women's Clubs con­ vention held that year in Coats Grove. Mrs. John Ketchum entertained the club in June 1937 in her beautiful garden, one of the showplaces of the area. More and more members brought guests who joined the group making it one of the larger organizations in the county. Mrs. C. F. Angell, Mrs. Minnie McDonald. Mrs. C.

Mrs. W. L. Hinmanand. Mrs. H. Carrick being the newest members. It is most interesting at this point to showhow thoughtful the group were when they appointed a group io place flowers, especially peonies, on the grave of Marian Goodyear. It was not forgotten that she had been a very important part in the formation of the club and her work in making the peony the Barry County flower. The club still continues the display at the Barry CountyFair and with this the club has become more and more interested in city and county af­ fairs, beautification of the city is becoming a big project with long range plans being formulated. The club treasury seems to be looking better at this time with a shopping balance of $32.18 on hand as of August 1937. This year it was voted to join the Women's Club in sponsoring a Christmas decorating contest. Entries were to be sent to Mrs. K. McIntyre and Miss Sadie Glasgow. Standing committees were set up as membership, calling committee, programs and plant exchange. Other garden clubs in the county began helping out at the Barry County Fair and thus began another friendship that still keeps going. A most interesting note at the April 8,1937 meeting was a report of the Civic Committee that the City Council voted in favor of a beautification project of the club on city owned lots, they agreed to help buy cutting weeds and hauling in new dirt on the lots for planting trees and shrubs. The annual federation was held that year in Ann Arbor, with many local members attending with President Sadie Glasgow. 4? members were present ai the largest Angie Bates, Mrs. R. Fuller, Mrs. Charles Potts and Mrs. D. C Bronson. Mrs. Floyd Bechtel reported a balance on hand at the November meeting as $61.96. The Flower Show at the Barry County Fair was another big success with the club netting $20 from bouquet sales alone. Over 300 en­ tries from the club alone made this a most outstanding event for their year. In August 1939 dues sent in to the State Federation showing a membership of 69 as reported by presiding officer President Mrs. Guy Bauer. New members Mrs. Leo Wellfare and Mrs. Clara Hilder welcomed into the club. A flower festival to be held in June instead of the regular meeting was planned. It was held in the IOOF Hall in charge of Mrs. Paul Krone, Mrs. Edmonds and Mrs Thies in charge. 225 people came out to visit this festival and it was a big success in giving the city and county a look at what this club could do. The Thornapple Garden Club held its seventh anniversary in the lovely Ketchum Gardens complete with a birthday cake and tea. Mrs. W. Barnes became the newest member of the club. Republican Comm, meets The Barry County Republican Executive committee members and families met June 21, at County Chairman Wendell Strickland's home for a picnic. Several candidates for state representative attended including, Bob Bender, Jerry Bullard, San: McKeown, Dave Bennett and Tom Lower. State senate candidates present were Bob Welborn and Bill Carmody. Several commissioner can­ didates were also present plus other can­ didates. A short business meetings was held and each candidate was given the opportunity to speak briefly.

Garred says, there are too many drivers that don't pay attention Io it, and there’s always the chance that one of them will lose control of their vehicle. This is especially true on freeways Wayne Webber. presMcnt of Champagne Webber. Inc a Fraser. Mich road building firm, appeared before a Congressional subcommittee in I rinsing to voice his con­ cerns His employees, he said, are in­ creasingly afraid of speeding drivers. You must try to put yourself in their position, he told the House Subcommittee on Surface Transportation 'They may be working in the center lane of 1-96 between Detroit and Lansing Semi-trucks and passenger ears are going by them, no more than two to ten feet away, at 50 to 70 miles per hour If you cold only stand out there with your back to the traffic and feel the road shake and the air vibrate around you. ,ou could understand.’* Motorists," said, "are more and more angry with the interference that construction causes They are going by faster and faster each year Because of this, they unintentially disregard the health and safety of my em­ ployees.” State Transportation Director John Woodford pointed out that speed controls through highway work zones are just as much for the safety of motorists as they are for road workers Most of the people killed and injured in construction zones are motorists and their passengers.” he said.

Whiting anniversary celebrates 30 years of reliable electricity Howard Thoma saw it for the first time 30 years ago. Silent and untried, the JR. Whiting Plant stretched high above him. the equivalent of a 16 story building. Tiw year was 1952 At the time, the new Whiting Plant would have the most powerful equipment ever to make electricin for Consumers Power Company. The plant's total i apneity tn produce electricity would be second largest m the company, smaller only than the Weadock Plant in Essexville. Whiting was tucked between the -mall village of Erie and the Lake Erie shoreline, in a pleasantly rural area comfortably close to Toledo and Monroe. Thoma, now operations super­ intendent, still walks into the Whiting Plant each workday morn­ ing. He is one of only eight original plant etnployees still working there. Whiting’* three generating units. and the plant's total output, have been dwarfed by newer plants. Rut there are some things time cannot change As the plant cele­ brate- its : oth anniversary this m.'nth. it still is pnxfuring electricity as reliably as ever. It is a perfor­ mance that over the years has earned Whiting a stalwart ‘reputation nt Consumer* Power Company Very simply. Whiting bums finely ground coal to produce intense hem in its boilers The heat turns water to steam. The steam is used tn turn turbine blades, which are connected to a general m. The generator creates a magnetic field, producing etectri city. The statistics show that Whiting employees execute rhe process ex tremeh well Despite the plant’s age. for example. Whiting last year was again well above the company’s standards for what is railed "availability” the percentage of time a generating plant is mechanirallv capable of operating Plant em­ ployees are proud of their abilA to keep Whiting running almost ■ rouble-free It is an impressive feat, considering the machines involved The boilers heat steam to tempera tures of 1.000 degree*, and turbine blades can spin at almost 95<» miles an hour around rhe clock. 365 dava yeat But reliability is only one of man\ Thi< nd”«-rtjsdrnmtm paid fnrby the accomplishments m which plant 'dmrvhnldrT* •>» Consumer* Pmivr officials and employees share tn nn-ndou.- pride.

By 87 votes, electors in the district said no to a June 14 request for an additional 1.5 mills for two years. The millage was defeated 795-708, with about 25 percent of the the district’s voters casting ballots In addition to cuts in personnel, Superintendent Willard Baker said, the new proposed budget for the coming year will reflect the other effects of the millage defeat including no funding for co-curricular ac­ tivities. Approximately $40,000 the board had wanted to earmark for teaching supplies and textbooks will not be possible either, he said. The exact number of personnel cuts has not yet been determined, Baker said Wed­ nesday, because he and administrators are still in the midst of discussing workable plans. The board will meet at 7 p.m. June 28 in the superintendent’s office. The proposed budget for the coming year will include revenues estimated to be in the neighborhood of about $4,321,000 with proposed expenditures of about $4,281,000 which would incorporate staff reductions plus other cuts. Baker said the anticipated revenues and expenditures given Wednesday were "ballpark figures" because the proposed budget is still in the process of being for­ mulated. Revenues for the the 1981-82 budget, still being computed, amount to about $4,525,000 but includes private money that was con­ tributed to fund co-curricular activities. Baker said. Expenditures for the 1981-82 year, ending June 30, are about $4,254,000 including tne donations used to help pay for co-curricular activities. During the last school year, the cocurricular committee raised about $34,000 to help fund programs. In addition, about $72,000 from gate receipts and ticket sales went to support co-curricular activities which include the bands, athletics, high school follies, yearbook, class advisors, and the honors banquet The possibility of having another election to request a millage increase this summer probably won’t be on Monday's agenda, unless it’s requested. Baker said. However, he anticipates that the subject will be brought up by a board member or a citizen Hastings Class of 1947 reunites The Hastings High School Class of 1947 field its 35th class reunion Saturday, May 29 at Hie Hastings YMCA building.

The redemption period will be (6) months from the time of such Ordinance may open rental property for inspection by Robert J. Johnston A proposed ordinance before the Hastings City Council will open the doors of rental property for inspection and licensing. The council will hold a public hearing on the ordinance during its regular meeting on July 12. Michael Payne, city housing officer and assessor, said that inspections will be based on the .978 BOCA (Building Officers and Code Administrators) Basic Property and Mantenance Code, which is already in effect in the city. “The only difference is that it will involve an inspection to make sure there Is com­ pliance,'' Payne said. Payne will have a checklist from the code which enables him to check through the buildings to see that they are structurally sound and in a sanitary condition. The most recent city statistics show 465 units for two or more families are in lhe city. Payne said no firm figures were available on by Victor Sisson Most large cities and small villages have a city or town hall where city officials carry out their business and where official records are kept. This was not true for the village of Woodland- until recently. Woodland's officials were performing their duties in their homes, and village council business was being conducted in the fire barn. These problems have been amended by the recent purchase and re-modeling of the largt building at 171 N. Main Street. The building has a sign in front reading "Woodland Village Officers and Garage”. The building is loaded with stories of local history. It was built in 1885 to serve as a roller skating rink. Al the beginning of this This photo (above) of the original building, also shows J.S. Reisinger in the driver's seat of an early automobile with Bill Mohler. The other two men are unidentified. The building below shows the building as it looks today.

The proposal calls for all rental properly owners to register within 90 days. All properly registered will initially be given a certificate of compliance, then Payne will phase-in inspections during the next two years. The certificates then will have to be renewed every two years after lhe in­ spection. The ordinance also provides for properly owners to register a “responsible local agent", which will give the city someone locally to work with in ensuring compliance with the ordinance. Payne said. Payne said similar ordinances have been tested in other cities and provided the basis for the proposal. Research on the ordinance was done by Larry Nix, professional com­ munity planner with the firm of Williams and Works. "The purpose is dial it results in the city inspector going through the home to make sere lhe walls are painted, there aren’t holes in the wall, the plumbing works, there is electricity in each room, the windows are in good repair, the outside is taken care of; just the general maintenance," Nix said. Nix said dial currently, the city does not have the authority to go into a house and order it to be fixed up. “The BOCA building code does not give them that type of authority." Nix continued. "The planning commission would like to do things that would improve the quality of life in town.'' Nix said that, from a maintenance stand­ point, the renter in the city currently has no recourse. Renters can complain to the owners, Nix said, but a lol of times that goes “absolutely nowhere". ’Basically, what they are looking for will be the things that you would consider a detriment to public health, particularly to lhe people who reside in the unit,” Nix said. “In my mind, there probably are going to be very few problem areas in the city. Always the few spoil it for the many." Woodland finds new home for township officials Dated at Charlotte. Michigan June 10.1982 AN ORDINANCE TO ADOPT THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE.

Prior to working for the park, Walsh had been employed by the State Historical Society of Colorado as curator of state museums for four years, and also spent four years as an historic sites specialist for the North Carolina Department of Archives. A native of Westmoreland. Kan., he earned a fine arte degree in 1959 from Washburn University in Topeka. Walsh said promotion of “what-is already there" is the key to the future of Charlton Park. "They need to try and get it to a point where more events attract more people," he said. "Not neccessarily big events that you have to charge high prices for, but smaller events that attract people and still are low cost." century, J. S. Reisinger became the owner and sold a complete line of farm equipment, as well as Buick automobiles. His son-in-law, Leon Hynes, later bought the building from him and re-modeled it into a service station. Hynes sold Standard Oil products, then changed to Texaco. He also serviced and repaired automobiles. The gas station passed on to his son-in-law, Gerald Potter, who owned it 45 years. Paul Towns, and later on, Bob France operated body shops there. Lloyd Hitt purchased the building and started lhe Hitt Farm Equipment Co. When he went out of business, he put the building up for sale, and the village purchased it. The building has been re-modeled, re­ furnished, and is ready to be landscaped. Several weeks ago, a dedication ceremony was held, and an open house is being con­ sidered for later in lhe summer. The town council held their first meeting in the building in February, and will meet there regularly the second Monday of each month.

Some of the best buys arc found literally digging through discards from some attic or basement. Old baseball cards, marbles, political buttons, comic books, old buttons, penny pencils and jewelry from the Vicitoria era to the 1940's are often thought unim­ portant enough to keep or sell, and are tossed into a box of junk. Some of these items are worth hundreds of dollars. inis all important information is found in antique and collectors guide books which can be bought in any book store. For instance, a Babe Ruth baseball Card given free in chewing gum in the 1930's, today is valued by collectors in the $200 price range. Old radio program advertising give-aways are now valuable. Old cracker jack box toys are earnestly sought after. In the 1930's, the very desirable Shirley Temple cobalt blue glass pieces were free premiums in boxes of oatmeal. Much of the prized pattern and pressed glass pieces collected today was given, one piece at a time, in boxes of soap powder. Housewives continued to buy that certain brand of soap to get another piece to collect a full dinner set. Old toy trains or even separate pieces of a set are in demand. Children’s old tin toys, with good pain, mechanical banks or still banks command high prices in the world of collectors and dealers. Old valentines, post cards, autographs of famous or infamous people, tin-types, big little books, stamps, coins, old pocket watches, jack knives, hunting licenses, bird and duck decoys, tiny two to ten inch “Made in Japan" China or bisque dolls, football and other sport cards and flannels are amony hundreds of old items that increase in monetary value daily The scarcity of an item and the near original condition makes it more valuable The beautiful oak Larkin desk now much in demand, was given as an award to the door to door salesman who sold the most seeds for the Larkin Seed Company in the early 1900's. This desk sells today in the 250 to $350 price range. Door to door “drummers" used "salesman samples" or exact miniature replicas of everything from furniture to cast iron stoves to sell their wares because of the difficulty of hauling full size items to show their customers. These minatures are sold for top dollar today. When I was growing up during the 1920’s and 30’s. there were many “junk men”. These people because of the poor economoy of the depression years, were forced to haul otlier peoples junk and discard to dumps in order to make an honest living for their families. Many of them picked out of the junk and garbage, items in the re-saleable con­ dition. Discarded furniture of the affluent was salvaged and used by them or sold as second hand wares. Pretty, colorful objects of art. imported rugs, wicker, brass or­ naments. iron and tin utensils, printed flower socks, discarded toys, paperwieghts, horse shoes and collars, animal traps, furs, books, magazines, etc were plucked from the dump fires, which were legal then. These destitute men and women, by salvaging the "memories" of yesterday have contributed to our heritage of today.

Hastings woman creates unusual graduate thesis A Hastings graduate student in Western Illinois University’s department of English and journalism has produced an unusual thesis which critiques business writing. Pamela Englerth, 613 N. Michigan, Hastings, received her master’s degree in English during WIU’s 1982 Spring com­ mencement ceremonies May 15. “Clear Writing: A Proposal for the Ap­ plication of Composition Practices to Business Writing" is the title of her required master's thesis. What makes this thesis unique is that it crosses boundaries between her department and WIU’s College of Business in presenting her theor. s of how English compostion could be related to documents written in business and industry’. “Reports, if effective, bring about changes in the day-to-day affairs of any business," Ms. Englerth said. “Writing reports more effectively can influence the affairs of business. This is where English compostion comes in.” “Paralles are currently being established between what the business world needs and what English composition has to offer." she notes. "With an active, ongeing program involving the theroies and approaches of composition, business can experience the change from a jargonistic. abstract, dull writing style to a clearer, more humanistic writing style.” Englerth began her study of business writing by constructing and mailing a questionnaire to businesses and industries. After the results were returned, she traveled to Springfield, Ill. to interview business executives and personnel directors of various Industries. She earned her bachelor of arts degree in English education at Olivet Nazarene College in Kankakee. III. “Sausage Fest” to be held June 26 in Battle Creek Barry-Eaton District Health Dept.

Viewing the parade was fun for 31 patients who also enjoyed a short drive that day and a stop for ice cream cones.

Lynda, Johncock rode in the parade that featured race car owner Pat Patrick, a number of Indy 500 pace cars, and the Coldwater High School Marching Band.

He started Sunday's final round with a two stroke lead over Gordie Hale and a three stroke lead over Ron Clark, the winner of the 1979 Area. Clark stayed within three shots of Fisher as they both turned in 37's on the front nine Sunday, but Hale fell off the pace and finished the day with an 86. and a 160 for the tournament. Fisher fashioned birdies on No. 10. No. 11, No. 14, and No. 18 on the back nine, closing out the day with a pretty putt in front of a gallery at 18. The low point of the day was at No. 13 when he went in the water and came out with a six. But he roared back as rain started to fail, collecting a bird on 14 and coasting on to victory. He had a five stroke lead when he stepped on the green at No. 18. As the rain started to fall harder, he capped the day dropping a seven foot down hili putt for a birdie. "I had the putter out today." Fisher said after the final round. "Yesterday my gtne was more consistent, but today my putter helped me get some long putts and that kept me going."

Once confined to the upper and northern lower peninsula, they recently have been reported from scattered locations throughout southwestern Michigan. The coyote is an adaptable crittler able to survive in a variety of situations from near desert to forest. For several years they have been reported living m suburban Los Angeles If they are in L.A.. it should not be sur­ prising they they move into southern Michigan, the DNR says. Adults weigh about 25 to 50 pounds and their diet consists of largely mice and other rodents. However, they are known to oc­ casionally take rabbits, grouse, small birds and squirrels. It is not likely that coyotes will ever become so numerous to pose a threat to native wildlife, the DNR says. “Suitable habitat is limited and their fur is valuable.” Coppon s..................... 3 B C Med.

Vickery, of 1144 S. Jefferson St., ran for city treasurer against Phyllis Haines, last November, but lost the election 1,034-451. She worked for the city clerk’s office from <961 to 1967, after graduating from Hastings High School in 1960. Since leaving that position, she spread the tax rolls for the city in 1968, Maple Grove Township in 1971 and 1972 and Assyria Township in 1972. She was employed at the Barry County Equalization Officer for three years and has worked with township supervisors changing tax rolls and printing tax roll books. The new clerk is married to Douglas Vickery, owner-manager of Buehler Realty in Hastings They have two children, Todd, 14, and Steve 12. She is active in the Hastings Junior Bowling Association. In other action at Monday’s meeting, the council voted to collect one-half of the 1963 school taxes during summer collections, instead of collecting all of the school taxes in the winter. The action was taken at the request of the Hastings Area School District. School officials said the earlier collections would save the dislt ict from borrowing as much money, thereby reducing interest costs. The changeover was referred to Richard Shaw, city attorney, for necessary action. The council turned do vn a request by the by Robert J. Johnston Sharon Vickery. 40, will replace retiring City Clerk Donna Kinney on August 1. Vickery was named to the $22,500 a year post by the Hastings City Council, Monday. She will temporarily begin work for the Ahnrnn Vickwrv The Hastings Hastings Elks Lodge to purchase the building at 120 N. Church St. which it leases from the city. Councilman Patrick Vaughan, First Ward, said the sale of the building was opposed by the city’s Planning Commission and would counter.the master plan. “The building was originally purchased by the city with the intent to remove it to open the (adjacent) alley that is only 12 ft. wide." Vaughan said. Widening the alley, he said, could improve fire protection for the buildings on State Street. He added that the sale was opposed by nearby retailers because having the lodge in the building does not help retail develop­ ment. The Elks lease on the building does not expire until October 1992. The contract, signed in 1977, calls for the $200 per month rent to be renegotiated in October of this year. The council appointed member William Cook, Fourth Ward, to serve on a joint economic development committee established with the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce and the Barry County Board of Commissioners.

Hugh Fullerton was named to a five year term on the Hastings Library Board to replace Isabelle Johnson, whose term ex­ pired. Robert Carey was reappointed to a three year term on the board of the Hastings Nature Area and Mary Lou Gray, Third W’ard, was appointed to a one year term as the council's representative.

On a 6-1 vote, the mayor was named as the city’s delegate to the annual business meeting of the Michigan Municipal League by Robert J. Johnston The Michigan Supreme Court, Monday, overturned the city’s attempt to annex 40 acres of Rutland Township, which is the site of a proposed shopping mall. Supreme Court overruled a 1979 Circuit Court decision that had upheld the city's annexation by resolution. Under state law, cities which own vacant property adjacent to their borders, can annex the land by resolution of the council. Banner Price 2°c Thursday, July 1,1982 Hastings, Michigan Delton-Kellogg schools seek two mill increase Prompted by a petition from residents in the district and encouragement from persons attending school board meetings this week, the Delton Kellogg Board of Education has agreed to again ask voters to approve a tax increase for operations. The board set a tentative date of Tuesday, August 24, pending approval of the county­ election board, for the special election and dediced to ask voters to approve an ad­ ditional two mills for two years "to operate efficiently and in the best interests of the students." If approved the increase would generate about $224,540 the first year. Delton district voters, at the June 14 an­ nual school board election, defeated a request for a 1.5 mill increase by a vote of 795-708. That same day Board President Vern Scott noted that the district received a “double whammy" when it received notification that Gov. William G. Milliken’s proposed state aid formula would mean a cut of about $107,000 in previously anticipated revenue from'the state. Supertendenl Willard Baker and members of the board noted at a special meeting Wednesday that even if the additional two mills is approved, it won’t generate enough money to restore all the cuts made by the board Monday. The two mills, reccomended by the board’s finance committee with input from the public and administrators on Tuesday, was described as a happy medium between what they thought voters would approve and what is needed to provide a quality program. Baker said it would take abdut three extra mills to guarantee restoration of all the cuts. The proposed state aid cut plus the June 14 millage defeat which would have generated $174,000 the first year, if approved, represents budget slashing amounting to approximately $281,030 from the projected 1982-83 budget adopted by the board Monday. In adopting the lean budget, the board laid off six teachers and cut 10 non-certified positions (three office clerks, one media center clerk, two custodians two classroom aides, and two bus drivers). It was also noted that five other teachers had already been notified that they would be laid off because of declining student enrollment. In addition, hours of some school em­ ployees, including the bus supervisor, graphic arts instructor, ani several classroom aids, have been reduced. The six teachers, laid off effective June 28, are Holhe Baker, middle school physical education teacher, Paul Krajacic, sixth grade; Martha Leach, fourth grade; Zoe Rasmussen, middle school vocal music; Debra Butterfield, temedial reading; and Linda Kwasny, middle school English. Continued on page 9 Hastings schools look to lower drivers ed costs by “comping out” Hast'ngs schools, with the highest drivers ed costs in the area, look to trim per-pupil costs of the program through comparable testing. Two weeks ago, 139 students took a written driving test. The 56 who passed, or "comped out", will now forego 30 hours of classroom time and go behind the wheel for four hours to earn their driving certificate. Of the 83 who did not pass, the oldest 30 will be placed in a classroom. After ten hours of instruction, they will have another chance to comp out. This is the first year that school districts have had comp out testing, and there are no figures as to just how much the practice can save a school district. According to Michigan Department of Education figures, the Hastings per pupil cost in 198081 of $103.01 is about 15 percent higher than the state average of $87.44. These figures include the $45 which the state reimburses districts for each drivers ed student. The council purchased the property west of the city from its owners, annexed it by resolution, then resold it to the original owners. Rutland Township filed suit against the city’s action. Richard Shaw, city attorney, announced at Monday evening's council meeting that he had received word of the Supieme Court’s decision from the court clerk. Because he had not received a copy of the court’s opinion, he said he did not know the reasons for the decision. “I'm elated about it,” Forest Foley, Rutlarid Township supervisor, said. "I felt that we were in the right. I didn’t like the (circuit) judge’s decision. It didn't look fair to me." Foley said he would reserve futher comment on the decision until he discussed it with the township attorney, Richard Lang of Kalamazoo, who is on vacation. "The whole deal of it is,” Foley said, “is that the city needs us ..and we need them and it's time they learned to cooperate." The tug-of-war between the city and township originated when a Grand Rapids developer, Cornelius Moelling, revealed A former bookkeeper of Hastings BPO Elks No. 1965 was sentenced in Circuit Court Friday, May 25, to three years probation and ordered to pay $9956.90 in fine, costs and restitution for embezzlement by agent under $100. The prosecution maintained Russell B. Nash, 57, 2580 Woodschool Rd., fraudulently converted to his own use Elk funds in the years 1980-81. Sentence passed in local extortion case Timothy Lynn Davis, 20, 3200 Woodschool Rd., Middleville, was sentenced to two years probation and $150 in fine and costs for at­ tempted false pretenses over $100. In sentencing Davis, Judge Richard Robinson dismissed two counts of extortion, each carrying * a possible 20 years im­ prisonment. The false pretense charge arose from a May 10, *82 incident in which it was alleged that Davis extorted an amount over $100 from Flex Fao in exchange for sensitive corporate information Continued on page 3 by Ken Reibel Downing says they will be taken to court to force compliance. Each residence in the system will pay a base fee of $2,700, plus a $12 a month service charge. Many other sewer authorities charge by the number of feet of line that needs to be run on each residence. The 40 miles of sewer line, including 35 lift stations, will benefit homes and businesses located along the shorelines of Gun, Barlow, Payne and Cobb Lakes. The capacity of the treatment facility, built at a cost of $4.3 million, is one million gallons a day. The collection system consists of gravity sewers, lift stations, and force mains around the lake, transporting the effluent to the treatment plant. Because of the rolling terrain of Barry County, a system of pumps and lift stations is necessary to move the effluent to the treatment plant. Ten years ago, the technology for such a system of pumps did The new waste water treatment facility, built at a cost of $4.3 million, is one of the most modern in the state. not exist, according to Downing, and sewage was moved by gravity. To overcome the problem of lifting effluent from houses in low-lying areas, grinder pumps were installed. 72 in all at a cost of $5,000 each. Funding for the project came from the EPA and Michigan Department of Natural Resources grants, plus a local $7.7 million bond issue.

The development required city water service, which led to the annexation attempt. Rutland Township countered the city’s annexation plans for the 40 acres by filing a petition with the State Boundary Com­ mission to annex six square miles of the township into the city. The petition for the larger area was initiated by township residents, who then testified in opposition at a 1979 hearing. The petition was eventually denied by the Boundary Commission, but effectively blocked any attempt to annex the 4C acres through the Boundary Commission for two years. Annexation laws require a two-year waiting period on any new attempts to annex property included in a previous petition. To circumvent the township's petition, the city council attempted the annexation by resolution. Plans for the development, in the mean­ time, were halted because of the court action of the township. Former bookkeeper sentenced in Elks embezzlement case Gun Lake sewer system expected to get EPA nod The Environmental Projection Agency has tentatively given approval to the Gun Lake Area Sewer Authority’s $26.5 million wastewater collection and treatment system. The two sides will sit down August 2 to make it official, but the EPA has already given assurance that the system meets all federal standards, says Andrew J. Downing, manager. Gun Lake Area Sewer Authority. The system serves approximately 2,300 homes and residences in Yankee Springs and Orangeville Townships, as well as Wayland and Martin Townships in Allegan County. The first hookups took place in July 1980. According to Downing, all that’s left to do is to hook up of houses under construction, and 15 residents who have been “too slow to hook up as per ordinance." A list of the 15 individuals will be submitted to a sewer authority meeting Thursday, July 1, at the Gun Lake Treatment Facility. through the city and county. "It's a great loss to our community to have rail service taken out," Howe said. Howe suggested that the council could either receive and file the county's letter, or could send a similar letter to state officials against the track abandonment plans. The council merely received the letter. The Youth. Council’s request for $13,789.44 was approved. The amount is the same as last year’s funding and was budgeted for the 1982-83 year.

Monsma joins former Hastings resident Dale Sprik in the Democratic primary race in hopes of facing Republican incumbent Hal Sawyer in the fall race for the congressional seat. Monsma says he has no misgivings about coming to Barry County, a traditionally Republican area. He says there are many Democrats in the county, and he says he has done well in traditionally Republican areas of Grand Rapids. He further vows to make more stops here. The 32nd district state senator points to a number of accomplishments he has-made while in office. He says that as chairman of the senate appropriations subcommittee he has introduced a pilot program, which goes into effect the first of July, to “tighten up” medicaid programs by assigning recipients their own physician. He says many other states are eyeing this new approach in hopes of cutting costs in their own programs.

He says lie disagrees with the tax cuts Congressman Sawyer has supported. “I look at the different kind of programs Sawyer has supported," says Monsma, "For instance, the tax cut. Look at whose taxes are being cut the most, the large cor­ porations, the wealthy individuals. I see that as an unfair and unbalanced type of ap­ proach.” Predictably, he sees economics as the biggest issue of the district. He says Barry residents are “losing a great deal by Reagonomics. You have to distinguish between some of the cuts and some of the governmental programs'as compared to his economic policies. They are just not working.” Monsma says that, as state senator, he voted no the first time around cn Millkens's state income tax increase, “but when it became apparent there was non-support for options to the increase, it became preferable to go with the six-month increase.” As for foriegn policy, the state senator says Reagan’s is operating “by fits and starts”, and he is bothered by what he calls “false signals" being sent to America’s allies, and a “lack of direction.” Frank Kelley to be guest at Democrats reception July 10th Julie Ann Pyrzynski E.

By “lowest" I mean the "stealing pennies from a dead man's eyes and kicking him because they weren’t dollar bills” type of person. If you do. please consider my letter as an entry. My nusband and I were raised to show respect to our dead and their final resting place. People show their respect by placing flowers on graves on Decoration Day. My husband bought, planted and nurtured some beautiful geranium plants. He planted these in the urns about a week before Decoration Day. Going back to check on them a few days later, he found the large urn had been stripped clean. Fortunately there was time to replace them with inferior plants. Is one of our’ old traditions going to be scrapped because there are some people who feel tb-'t they are entitled to reach out and take anything which attracts them? I really feel sorry for these people. I wonder if, some day, someone will steal the flowers from their graves providing there’s someone left who cares enough to do it.

Bonnie Brown “I'm not particularly in favor of the E.R.A.,” says Mrs. Bowers, of Jackson. "Maybe I’m pot too well-read on the issue, but I still think there's a place fora man and a place for a woman in our business world or any other world today. I don't think women are equal. I still like to be a lady, and I still like to be with a man." Charlie Ross says yes. "Women have always believed that they have equal rights, and those rights are worth fighting for. When you give up something you believe in, you lose." "They’ve been trying too much," says Sharon Far man of Hastings, “I don’t think they'll ever get the amendment to pass.” Far man says it doesn’t matter to her if the amendment ever becomes law. Sue Rowlader Ruth Atkinson Bonnie Leep of Nashville says the proposal should be rewritten. “The law lias a few loopholes in it, and that should be changed." Leep says the amendment would be par­ ticularly hard on divorced women, and woman of draft age. “I believe in equal pay for equal work," says Bonnie Brown, Hastings. She says she thinks that most women don't understand the intentions of the proposed amendment. "I think that theamendment’s supporter’s have misrepresented the true intentins of the ERA amendment,” says Brown. Sue Rowlader, Hastings, says it is necessary to keep trying. “Every person is equal.” she says, “but not entirely so under the law." Rowlader says that a lot of women are afraid that ERA will "take away many of Mrs. Richard Lamberts the privileges they enjoy as women in our society.” “I would like to see equal rights for women,” says Ruth Atkinson, Hastings, "but I think the wording of the amendment has been misunderstood by some groups.” Atkinson says “some of these things can't be legislated, and have to come out of the personal commitments of men." "I think women’s rights are pretty good right now,” says Mrs. Richard Lamberts, Hastings. She says she thinks that the ERA amendment went too far, and would probably hurt rather than help women. �V The Hastings Banner - Thursday, July 1,1982 Page 3 OPEN 9-2 As this file photo depicts, th) work of artists and craftsmen will again fill the picturesque Lake Odessa Village Park this Saturday for the eighth annual Art In The Park event.

Men's and Fireworks will light up area lakes The public is invited to attend fireworks displays that will light up Algonquin and Gun lakes this weekend. Gun Lake's fireworks will begin Saturday evening, July 3, at Murphy’s Point. A police patrol will be provided. Fireworks will begin at Algonquin Lake at 10 p.m. on Sunday, July 4th. The Algonquin Lake Association would appreciate a $2 to $5 donation per carload of people to help pay for the fireworks. Driver’s Ed, continued... Ernie Strong, director of drivers education foi Hastings Public Schools, says that the Hastings program is "more comprehensive than most other programs”, and that Hastings students have, in the past, received more than the minimum amount of time required behind the wheel. Strong says he suspects that other area schools are offering less than 30 hours of class time and six hours behind the wheel time, a violation of state rules resulting in lower program costs. Strong offers the costs of car rental as another reason for high costs to the district. Hastings pays $250 a month for its drivers education cars. Last year, Hastings ran ten cars in its drivers ed program. This year, it is running two. A check with outlying schools found some to be paying $4 a day for their cars, a sub­ stantial savings. Strong also admits that Hastings in­ structors are higher paid than most, $11.72 an hour, compared with a state average of approximately $9 an hour.

It’s illustrated when we choose To read a paper with the news And nothing but uncensored views That never will be banned. It’s something that we comprehend When there’s a meeting we attend, Or go to visit any friend, Without a reprimand. It causes others to respect The faith we happen to select; Sc may God help us to protect Our freedom in this land HASTINGS - Mr. Edward A.

Several total industries in soft goods, electronics and steel have almost disappeared from this country: and WHEREAS. The major underlying cause of th* destruction of these industries is the unfair foreign competition, because many other governments create full employment for their citizens; and WHEREAS, the basic steel, steel specialty and the steel wire industries of this country are the latest, but by no means the lost, to feel the deep bite of unfair foreign competition; and WHEREAS. Foreign internal industry practices fostered by government action are especially detrimental to the steel industry, electronic and soft good Industries; and WHEREAS. A* on example, foreign steel-produc­ ing countries consume only some thirty percent domestically, "dumping" the surplus on U.S. Mar­ kets at below cost, their government policies sub­ sidizing the cost differences; and WHEREAS. The provisions of th* 1974 Trade Act which allow for the negotiation of on Orderly Mar­ keting Agreement are not adequate to eliminate the threat to the steel and basic home industries both in the State of Michigan and the U.S.; and WHEREAS. Industry in Michigan would be capable of providing needed supplies except for the sales competition of cheaper foreign import steel and iron, electronic and soft goods; now. therefore, be it RESOLVED. Thot the County of Barry establish a policy whereby purchases of goods, materials or supplies both tor the Barry County Road Commis­ sion and th* Board at Commissioners shall require that bids Irani suppliers provide proof that material and/or goods are mode in the U.S. by American labor or are ABSOLUTELY unavailable from U.S. Manufacturers.

McKeown to run for 88th district House seat Samuel McKeown of Hastings has an­ nounced his candidacy for the Republican 88th District House seat. McKeown is a lifelong resident of Barry County. He is self-employed in real estate and he also farms. Upon graduation from high school, he entered the Michigan Air National Guard, serving in the intelligence section, in Battle Creek. While in the Air Guard, McKeown attended Kellogg Community College and Aquinas College, where he majored in business administration. "It is my opinion that the days of ‘More taxes will solve everything’ are long gone,” says McKeown. "However, we have found that we can not depend on either the state politicians nor the state bureaucrats to change this idealism. Our hope rests on sending our own representation to Lansing to bring this point across.” "I come to you, the people of the 88th District, well recommended. I owe no liability to any lobby groups or lobbyists, to any current or former members of the state house, nor to any vested special interest groups," he says. A NEW ADDITION TO OUR OUTSTANDING SERVICE DEPARTMENT NEAL DINGMAN formerly of... Reahm Motor Sales Michigan Bean commission meets James Byrum, Executive Secretary of the Michigan Bean Commission, an­ nounced the next meeting of the Commission will be held Tuesday, July 6, 1982, at the Colony House in Cass City, Michigan. This meeting will begin at 10 a.m. All persons interested in the dry edible been industry are encouraged to attend. Further information regarding this meeting can be obtained by calling the Commission office in Lan­ sing, at (517) 373-0090. Have you ever bought an item at an an-, tique auction and afterwards say “why did I buy that?” It's happened to all of us antique nuts. Actually, the answer is that we didn't prepare ourselves before we went. Every auction is advertised in the local papers and on printed brochures placed around town. A complete listing of every auction item can be had fron. the auctioners. Your name can be added to their advertising mailing list. This allows a week or two of advanced notice to study the item of special interest. The history and current prices can be researched, and valuable information on the rarity and hallmarks of a certain piece are offered in antique price guide books. Antique price guides are valuable tools, but never lake them with you to an auction. Make price notations on the auction brochure, if necessary. To carry reference books into an auction, shows you aren’t sure of yourself. Some people take ad\ antage of your lack of skill in mentally appraising a piece. I’ve seen knowledgeable buyers deliberately “talk down" an item they want to buy so another potential buyer won't bid on it. They usually say its not all original, or that its a reproduction, or shake their head in disgust while examining a piece Thats all it takes to discourage the novice. Don't rely on other s experiences, judge for yourself. If you have a question about a certain item, ask the auctioneer during the viewing period prior to the auction. An honest auctioneer will be happy to answer your questions. Always have a small magnifying glass or jewelers loupe tucked in your pocket. Minor flaws can escape the naked eye. Hallmarks are more legible when magnified. Know that any damaged glass is devaluated. As a dealer, I only buy glass in mint condition because I know theres no market for damaged merchandise. Antique furniture, however, can have minor damage and still be a good buy. The more damage, the less you pay. Unless a piece is literally ravaged, it can be refinished. Missing trim or veneer can be replaced. Never spend so much money on a damaged piece of furniture that by the time you’ve repaired and refinished it the cost has gone over the value. If its a truly fine antique in pristine condition, one can safely pay top current price and still know the value is increasing. At an auction, always handle an old fragile item with extreme care. Never move an item from one area on a table to another, as sometimes several different consignments are placed closely together. They were probably placed where they are for a specific reason. An auctioneer should be knowledgeable in antique prices He has an obligation to both buyer and seller. He first offers a piece for its highest value for its condition. Usually no one opens the bidding until its offered again far less. After he gets the first bid, he then raises the asking bid from $5 to $25, at a time, depending on the value of the item. The audience sets the final selling price - not the auctioneer. He only follows the enthusiasm of the bidders. He tries to get the highest price the buyer will bear. He works on a commission basis, usually 10 to 25 percent of the selling price per piece. An inside auction carries more overhead for the auctioneer than an outside auction. Buildings rented, adverasing brochures, heat, lights, and extra 'Tunners" all reflect in the com­ mission percentage charged the seller. . Always use the numbered auction bid cards when bidding. Always use a clear, decisive, high arm thrust to bid. If you use the bidding card to scratch your head, you may buy an item you didn’t intend to. Do not use hand or eye signals that the auctioneer may miss. There should be no excessive noise or chatter to disrupt the bidding pattern. Unless you are the last and winning bidder, you must pay from $5 to $25 over the currer‘ bid to buy an item “Acution Fever" often sets in and you keep raising, hoping your bid well be the last and winning one. You get a .knot in the pit of your stomach, your knees are weak, you sweat a lot, you know your eyes are glazed as you comtemplate your Victorian conquest. You are afraid to stop and afraid to bid higher - by now you've lost all logic, and can’t remember where you planned on stopping. Your heart skips a beat as you listen for the other bidder. He knew when to stop. You’ve won and its yours. Now in a daze, you say “why did I buy that?" Neal has been working as a technician for 27 years and is certified in all areas. He and his wife, Annetta, live in Hastings and have two daughters. adoption and foster care placement; family and marriage counseling and refugee resettlement.

VA releases Barry vet statistics Barry County has a total of 5,280 veterans, of whom 4,390 are persons who have served during a war-time period, according to the Veterans Administration. The latest statistics show that 1,740 served in the Vietnam era, and of these, 1,640 had no service in Korea. There are 1,000 Korean conflict veterans, and of these, 910 did not see service in World War II. The largest group of veterans is from World War II. They number 1,770. There are still 70 veterans from World War I. Since the ending of the Vietnam War, 290 Barry County veterans have served in the armed forces and have been discharged. Delton, continued from page 1 Funds for co-curricular activites were not included in the new budget nor were funds for $40,000 of textbooks and teaching supplies the board had hoped to purchase As a result of the millage defeat and projected cut in state aid there will be an increase in class sizes (primarily in the middle and high school grades, a reduction in counseling and media center personnel, and a combining of certain class offerings. Program cuts to be implemented in th<* coming year for the middle school include eliminating fifth grade band, combining seventh and eighth grade band classes and seventh and eighth grade vocal music. At the high school level, the board said it was dropping advanced chemistry, health, lifetime sports, technical drafting, and publications (yearbook). Furniture and cabinet-making classes will be combined instead of being offered separately as well as American history and government classes. The adopted budget for 1982-83 shows anticipated revenues of $4,316,223 and projected expenditures of $4,281,724, leaving a balance of only $34,499. Baker noted that revenues include a carryover of $285,000 from last year. Monday's meeting was the first time the full board had met since the millage defeat. James Lauderdale, a former board member who was in the audience, asked what ob­ jectives and philosophies the board’s finance committee had used as a guage in rec­ commending the cuts. Reducing supportive services came first and instructional last, said board vicepresident Donald Weaver. Board Treasurer James Henr> said the committee “looked at it as a whole," trying to keep programs as intact as possible and spreading the cuts throughout the system where possible. Some cuts were described as “purely judgemental calls” like cutting the There are an additional 610 persons who were in service between the Korean conflict and the Vietnam era. Over one-fourth of all Vietnam era veterans served in the combat area during the almost 11 year war. In Michigan there are 1,167,000 veterans of whom 980,000 served in time of war. There are 370,000 Vietnam era veterans: 209,000 Korean conflict veterans; 432,000 World War II veterans; and 15,000 World War I veterans. There have been 61,000 persons who served in the armed forces since Viet­ nam, and are now discharged, and 126,000 veterans who served between Vietnam and Korea. elementary counselor’s preventative behavior program time in half with the other half to be spent in classroom teaching, until additional money is available. The middle school counseling slot was kept in tact because the board felt the middle school puberty program was essential. In other action Monday, the board was actually in a position to lower the amount of millage it levies for debt retirement The board approved a 1.38 tax reduction of the debt levy, lowering it from 5.51 mills to 4.03. It was noted that the debt levy, which cannot be used to operate the schools, is the only area that an increase in stale equalized valuation permits the board to lower millage, because it levies only the amount needed to make payments on bonds. The subject of the possibility of another millage election was set in motion Monday when Basil Hammond of the Co-curricular committee, presented the board with petitions, carrying 215 signatures of citizens, requesting another millage election. “We (the co-curricular committee) didn’t help where we could have to promote the (June 14) millage in conjunction with the board,’’ said Hammond. He said the group feels it could get the millage passed if the board would try again. “Our educational system is in jeopardy and we don't like the loss of the co-curricular program either." He and others who spoke in the audience said they had discovered that many registered voters who would have voted “yes" June 14 did not vote at all for a variety of reasons. Ed Baker told the board about an idea he has for a “positive people" campaign, working on a one-to-one escalating basis, which he feels could be successful in getting a millage increase approved. WOMEN'S SLOW PITCH TOURNAMENT July 10th and 11th ... in Nashville *65°°... and 2 Balls Gone are the days when Barry County recipients of General Assistance and Aid to Dependent Children just collected their money and stayed home all day. About 100 welfare recipients are now working to pay-o'f their grants or going to school to obtain h.gh school diplomas as part of a mandatory program, says Richard Ritter, director of the county social services. Those who aren’t actually working have either been excused because of a doctor's medical statement, lack of transportation, or are mothers of children under six. Those who are not part of the job ex­ perience plan are participating in one of several other mandatory programs like finishing their high school educations. Still others are part of ‘Job Search," a program where the welfare recipients are actively seeking employment with supervision of social services employment training counselors. The mandatory work program is proving to benefit public agencies by providing "free" manpower and at the same time gives the participants opportunities to learn job skills and gives them a feeling of self-worth, says Ritter. Not everyone is overjoyed at being required to work off his or her grant, he says. But, most seem to appreciate the op­ portunity. “A couple of them came back with blisters on their hands to thank us for giving them a chance to work, Ritter says. On the opposite end of the spectrum of attitutes toward the work program, Ritter said one man recently said he was going to move 'Hit of the county rather than work for his welfare money. The requirements for the mandatory work program were written in Lansing as part of the health and human services regulations. But Ritter said each individual county can implement its own plan to put employable adult clients to work or into educational programs. Some counties are not as thorough in making sure welefare recipients are in­ volved in work programs. But that is not the case in Barry. Ritter said all employable welfare recipients must either be working or participa.ing in other required programs or they will not receive their checks. “We will close their case," he noted. The only exceptions are the three reasons already stated, but "then; are some who still are able to escape (the lequirements), he admitted. ’S" • Watch Repair HODGES JEWELRY Your Full Service Repair Center 122 W.

At the fairgrounds, facilities are being prepared for the Barry’ County Free Fair. July 18-24, by workers who are social ser­ vices' clients and CETA personnel. As many as 29 persons have been working at the fairgrounds. Work on the grounds amounts to thousands of dollars in labor which is free to the fair board. “We probably couldn't even have the fair without it," says Bob Phillips, who super­ vises the work staff at the fairgrounds. “The fair board appreciates it too. Some of the jobs for clients are seasonal like the fairgrounds jobs and those of work assistants for cemetery sextons. Others are year-round. Another benefit of putting ADC parents to work, Ritter says is the improved role model projected to children. “From a family point of view, a child gets a better experience if Dad goes out to work." he said. Not only do children feel like their family life is more like "the other kids" but Ritter is hoping it might break the trend of two and thres generation welfare clients from the same family. “That's tied in with what people see their parents do and with the new program emphasizing education and work, kids are are more likely to go that route too." Painting the ticket booth is one of the jobs being done with "free” labor for the upcoming Barry County Fair. Defend Yourseff Zoning board to meet July 20 COMING SOON!

Ritter also said clients can be required to walk as far as five miles to a job site. The mandatory work program also is credited with reducing the caseload in the county social services office. “There has been a 20-30 percent reduction in our caseload because of it, says Ritter. Some who have been earning money from odd jobs that pay cash, decide that they would rather keep those jobs or move to another county instead of staying on Barry's welfare rolls and being forced to work for their grant. Employable General assistance recipients have been involved in a work program for about five years, but with recent changes during President Ronald Reagan's ad­ ministration, employable ADC and ADCU recipients (homes which include unem­ ployed fathers) come under the mandatory work program. Work hours for the social services' clients vary, Ritter said, according to the amount of individual grants received. Paybacks are based on a miniumum wage, so depending upon the money received, a client might should go for two mills “and we’ll back you.” Several board members questioned the He also said he had determined that the $l,50(i to $2,000 cost of holding a special election.

Monitoring clients' work attendance, placement, etc. under Ritter are Ken Schroeder and Bob Meppelink. They serve as employment training counselors for orientation and with the mandatory work program, job search, and adult education offerings. There are currently 29 public agencies which have offered job positions for welfare recipients. The most recent new job slots to be opened for the program were 12 with the county road commission and four in con­ junction with the park commission. The 12 work positions for the road com­ mission will mean additional staff it could not otherwise afford to hire. The 12 “basically will be assigned to drivers as a second man on the trucks. That way they can do more (road work),” said Ritter. He credits Commissioner Edward Daniels for initiating contact with the road com­ mission and working out details to create more jobs for the mandatory work program. In the past at Charlton Park, social ser­ vices' clients have helped with such duties as maintainance, collecting park fees, and serving as tour guides. Job placement in the available openings are determined according to the skills of a client. One person, for example, had all the background and knowledge needed to be an assest on a project to build a ballfield at Lakewood, so he was assigned there. f COMMISSION ORDER I I I PROTECTION FOR THE CANADALYNX • ' The Natural Resources Commission, at its meeting on June 12, 1982, under authority of Secs. 1. 2 and 3 of Act 230, P.A. 1975, as amen­ ded, orders that for a period of five years begin­ ning July 1, 1982 no person shall take or attempt to take lynx in Michigan at any time. ] I I I Send To: RED OAK APARTMENTS 4970 Northwind Drive I Suite 101| East Lansing.

Joe Mix, a well-known Barry County musician, accompanied Mrs. Bristol as she read a poem Clara Bush, Mary DeVries, Imogene Cooley. Barbara Babbitt, and Esther Monica also performed. The subject of birds, their care and feeding became a pari of the club program. Miss Groos of the State Audobon Society gave the members an excellent starting lesson on our feathered friends. Yearbooks were made and presented to the members at the March 1940 meeting. Twelve new members came into the club al this time. Their names were not listed in the minutes. Mrs. Dorothy Adrounie, Mrs. Ross Johnson. Mrs. Robert Finnic and Mrs. Reasner were appointed as the next Tea Committee. In May. Mrs. V. D. Woodring. Mrs. H. J. Reinhart, Mrs. A. K. Frandsen, Mrs. Walter Hobbs and Mrs. Frank Rogers became new members. Two new projects came into being at this time; landscaping and planting al Tyden Park and working on the planting al the hospital. At this meeting in June, it was reported that the club would like to put fireplaces, they call them grills, in Tyden Park and they would cost between $15 and $20 each. The club decided to build just one to start when it was notified that the park was ready for it. The club ordered 100 iris bulbs to be used in the Park Landscaping Project. Mrs. J. L. Valentine donated several new peony plants for the grave of Marian Goodyear. It might be noted here that this grave was well taken care of by the club as a memorial to a member who worked very hard for the Garden Club and was in­ strumental in starting many things, such as the naming of the peony as the Barry County flower. Flower Shows were still a big part of every year and as time went on, many new features were added. This year, it was an oldfashioned wishing well, in which one could throw in a coin and make a wish. It was placed in the center of the exhibit of the eight garden clubs of the county. A dime, a penny, EARLY HASTINGS "*™d •X’*' U Cenw.1 ’MUtam Barry.

Bronson, Mrs. Jason McElwain and Mrs. Ben Coles were appointed to take charge of the October meeting. New officers were installed at the October meeting followed by a film on conservation shown and narrated by George Sumner at a cost to the club of 51 cents. A Christmas party was planned for December with each member to bring a 10c garden gift for ex­ change. Balance in the treasury was $60.76. The December meeting was a very special meeting with a Christmas party and music held at the home of Mrs. Guy Bauer. Mrs. Aben Johnson gave a talk on "The Garden of the Bells” in California which she had recently visited, complete with lovely pic­ tures. Music with the Girls Sextet from the high school and accordion selections by Bonnie Brandstetter were very much en­ joyed in the lovely home beautifully decorated for the holidays. Mrs. Bauer never used any kind of artificial greens, always insisting on real live decorations. March 13,1941 started another phase of the Garden Club. A balance of $55.49 was reported. Ray Branch, chairman of the Public Safety and Improvements Committee of the city, gave detailed report on the layout plans for Tyden Park and said he would soon notify the club on plans to build fireplaces where convenient and the plantings needed. Mrs. John Eddy became a new member. In April, the meeting was held with special emphasis placed on the use of bells on cats to protect our birds. Members with cats were urged to "Bell ‘he Cat’ . A new amendment to the Constitution was made, to begin the fiscal year in March and that no officer would hold office more than two consecutive years. Letters were read on "Bundles for Britain” and a Garden Party was set up to raise money for this project. New members were Mrs. Chester Stowell, Mrs. Chester Long, Mrs. L. E. Barnett, Mrs. Earl Coleman, and Mrs. Richard Groos. July records reported two more new members, Mrs. William Schrader and Mrs. J. Devoreax. The club scrapbook was started with Mrs. Alice Mohler in charge. The Thornapple Garden Club book display was awarded a prize at the state convention in Grand Rapids. Eleven members attended the two-day session. Mrs. Dorothy Sumner, still a semi-active member, was hostess for the September 1941 meeting.

The Christmas meeting, at the home of Mrs. Guy Bauer, took in new members Mrs. C. E. Garrison. Mrs. C. B. Burkholder, Mrs. Glen Dennison and Mrs. V. D. Ackerman. It was in April 1942 that the refreshments at club meetings were to be discontinued due to a shortage of sugar and tea. Victory Gardens were planned to help in the food shortage and home canning was urged so as to free the commercially canned foods for military use. The saying "Vegetables for our stomachs and flowers for our souls” became the word of the day. Ida Perldns, secretary at the time, kept excellent records written very well and readable. July 1942, the Thornapple Club still active and going strong with many projects. Dr. Findlay, conservation speaker from Columbia University, spoke al the National Convention of Garden Clubs and stated that it now had 4,000 garden clubs and was second only to the National Women’s Club. The garden clubs all over the country also had a record showing. By the way, did you know that a tree grows only from 12 o'clock midnight until 3 o'clock in the morning? September 1942, members wire introduced o the Red Cross production of assembling overseas kits for soldiers. The club donated $5 to the Red Cross for this. New ways to make Christmas wreaths was demonstrated and new ideas for holiday decorations were given by Mrs. Ben Cowles and Mrs.’ C. D. Bauer. An arrangement of 20 different vegetables grown in Victory Gardens was the center of attention designed by Mrs. Barnes. Rev. Father Dillon spoke at the April 1943 meeting on a Victory Garden Contest sponsored by the County Victory Garden Planting around the Barry County Courthouse Historical Marker were Joyce Towne, Margaret Lord, Lee Kind and Genevieve Hall, for another project in the beautification work by the Thornapple Garden Club. Michigan driving costs increase 8percent Michiganians will spend $270 more to own and operate a 1982 compact car than they did in 1981, according to the Automobile Club of Michigan. "This is an 8 percent increase over last year," said Joseph Ratke, Auto Club Travel Research manager. “It now costs Michiganians 23.8 cents per mile to operate a new, fuel-efficient car, of $3,570 per year," In 1981, the cost of driving a compact automobile was 22 cents per mile, or $3,300 a year. The 23.8-cents per mile figure, updated oy Auto Club to include current Michigan gasoline prices, is broken into two categories, variable and fixed costs. Variable costs include gasoline at $1.33 per gallon, oil, maintenance and tires for a Jotal of 7.81 cents per mile. Fixed costs — in­ surance, depreciation, license fees and finance charges — cost $6.57 per day, or $2,398 per year. Insurance is based on a pleasure use category with the vehicle driven less than 10 miles to work and no youthful drivers on the policy. for its latest driving costs report — outlined in the 1982 edition of the AAA pamphlet titled "Your Driving Costs" — Auto Club calculated operating expenses based on a 1982 Chevrolet, six-cylinder (173 cu. in) Citation four-door hatchback, drive up to 15.000 miles per year and kept four years. The type of car used in this year’s analysis was changed from an intermediate to a compact car in order to more accurately reflect automobile sizing trends in the nation. The pamphlet also points out that auto vacation travelers will spend 9 percent more for gasoline, meals and lodging in 1982 compared to last year. Two persons should plan on spending $48 per day for meals (not including alcoholic beverages and lips), $48 per day for lodging and $8 for gas and oil for every 100 miles of travel with the car averaging 20 miles per gallon.

Mrs. Homer Ketchum and Mrs. C. Hathaway. Charles Rogers was appointed city chairman of the Victory Garden Contest The local USD requested that flowers and vases be sent to Percy Jones Hospital in Battle Creek with Rev Gury of the Episcopal Church, who will deliver them the first Wednesday of each month. The club will buy vases if necessary and donate the flowers so fresh flowers will be in the rooms at all times. An interesting note at the August 12 meeting held at the home of Mrs. DeVries was a class in the making of corsages. The members present made them and they were judged as to class, color and construction. The best bridal corsage was taken to the County Clerk's office to be given to the next lady applying for a marriage license. Records do nd show who that lucky lady was. Does anyone know or remember her? Mrs. Hazel Heiry became the new member at this time. In September 1943, light refreshments again became a part of the meetings. It seems the shortage of lea and sugar has been somewhat lessened. Have you noted the absence of men in the records of late? Somewhere al mg the way, the women took over and the men were content to have it that way. In April 1$44, flower containers were needed at Pennock Hospital so the club agreed to furnish all they could gather from members and buy a few if necessary. The Annual Fedeiation Meeting was held in Detroit this /ear with several members attending. A note from that convention from the speech cf Dr. Findlay of Columbia University; “Nitrate of Soda sprinkled on a compost pile liastens decomposition and an increase in crops of 150 percent can be ex­ pected by usirg compost.” Mrs. R. W. Cook spoke on “Old World Gardens" in England and Hazel Henry talked on "The Floating Gardens of Mexico". Many members travel extensively and share their experiences. New members were Mrs. Chester Stowell and Mrs. Cusak. Work was completed in Tyden Park about this time and a letter of thanks was sent to the city for their cooperation with the club. Mrs. Milo DeVries was put in charge of the Annual Flower Show which had become an important partof the Barry County Fair. The show grew with every year and there is not space to do it proper justice in this short article except to say, every member worked hard and they all shared in the glory of the occasion. Two Christmas trees were planted in Tyden Park in memory of our boys in service. Mrs. Chester Stowell became the new chairman of the Conservation Com­ mittee and through the next few years did her job well. She later became active in conservation on the state level and was wellknown throughout the state. April 1945, the Club Treasurer Hazel Henry reported a balance on hand of $54.36. A memorial service was held at this time with Mrs. I. J. Smith paying tribute to the memory of Mrs. J. B. Devereaux and other members who have passed on to “The Garden in ‘he Sky". Mrs. Elmer Robinson and Mrs. Greta Quigley, both still active members, were a part of the program in April; Mrs. Robinson reading an article from “The Flower Grower” and Mrs. Quigley showing some colored pictures in Michigan. Dues were increased to 70 cents a year caused by an increase in the state dues. Is this the start of inflation? Mrs. Bessmer was chairman of the meeting in the backyard of the Stowell home in June. It being Flag Day, the program was set on a patriotic theme. The flag salute and singing of the national anthem were led by Mrs. Lloyd Valentine. The August meeting was he’d at the lovely home of Mrs. Elmer (Violet) Rob'nson. Hats were the theme of this meeting and each member had to wear a hat made only of fresh fruits, flowers and vegetables. Mrs. C. D. Bauer took first place with a natty pillbox with white phlox trim and lily of the valley leaves. Mrs. Walter Perkins took second with the most unusual of the lot, it was a miniature garden on a large brim hat complete with a bird bath with water, no less, all for the comfort or a tiny china bird perched on the edge. Mrs. Shulters, Mrs. DeVries and Mrs. Storer were the much confused judges of the event. Mrs. Russell Zerbel and Mrs. Cota became new members. It looks like the men have done it again. They have organized their own club. “The Gladiolus and Flower Society of Barry County” came into being with 20 members, true garden lovers all.

Folmar, 33, the head coach of the Saxons for two seasons, will be the new boss of the Philipsburg-Osceola High School Moun­ taineers. Folmar hails from Grassflat, a town 13 miles from Phillipsburg. '•When 1 was playing in high school they were our biggest rivalry," Folmar said. “It is going to be a rebuilding program. They have a good tradition and have had some good teams in the past.” Folmar said he and his wife Cathy, a native of Tyrone Pa., have mixed feelings about leaving Hastings. "It is great that we are getting a chance to move home and the kids will get to be closer to their grandparents,” he said, “but we are going to miss Hastings High School, our friends and al! the great people that have made us feel so welcome.” Three Barry County baseball players named all-region Three Barry County baseball players were named to a Class B all-region team last week, area coaches announced. Hastings High Coach Bernie Oom an­ nounced that all-state outfielder Dann Howitt and shortstop John Karpinski were both named to the all-region team. Delton-Kellogg High Coach Vick Haas announced that infielder Chuck Simonovic was named to the same Class B honor squad. Howitt, a senior centerfielder that won all­ state second team honors, hit .403 this season. He led the Saxons in six statistical categories, including hits with 27, runs batted in with 22 and doubles with 15. He plans to attend Michigan State University in the fall on a baseball scholarship. Karpinski, a senior shortstop, led the Saxons in hitting this season with a .406 average. He also led the team in runs scored and struck out the least of any Saxon, just twice in 77 at bats. He will attend Saginaw Valley State College in the fall to play football. Simonovic, a senior third baseman and pitcher, hit .414 for the Panthers this season. In addition to leading the team in hitting, he was the top hit producer with 29, and the top RBI man with 18. He will attend 01 vet College in the fall to play basketball and baseball.

Rabbits like to stay dry and that is tough this time of year, the Department of Natural Resources reports. "About mid-summer rabbits appear to become more plentiful, appearing in roads, lanes, yards and even parking lots," the DNR says. “Most often they are seen in tlie early morning. The rabbits are simply escaping the early morning dew.” The wetness of the dew coupled with early morning temperature lows make for un­ comfortable conditions in the grass. Open areas become the obvious place for the rabbits to go. This exodus to open areas also serves Fourth annual Hastings Tennis Clinic to start Tuesday, July 6 Tom Freridge, the tennis coach at Hastings High School, has announced that sign-up is underway for the fourth annual Hastings Tennis Clinic that will start July 6.

Former Hastings athlete is proud father Don Baty, a 1960 graduate of Hastings High and a three sport athlete, is a proud father. Recently, Baty's son Greg, a football star at Sparta High School in Sparta, New Jersey, signed a national letter of intent to attend Stanford University on full football scholarship. The proud father was an all-state football player at Hastings High playing on the varsity for four years. In addition to football, he played on the basketball and baseball teams too. Baty went on to the University of Michigan where he played guard on the football team. His ..on, a prep all-area ar.d all-stater in New Jersey, turned down several major college offers including one from U of M. Among the schools recruiting him at his tight-end position were Duke, UCLA, Wisconsin and Vanderbilt. Mrs. Baty (Lu Ellen) is a former Traverse City Cherry Festival queen. WMU golf outing draws largest crowd ever The 15th annual Western Michigan University golf outing at the Hastings Country Club Thursday. June 24, attracted the largest crowd in the history of the event, Chairman Lew Lang said Monday. 113 people played golf in the afternoon and 128 were served dinner in the evening. The program featured talks from three new coaches in the Western athletic program. New football mentor Jack Har­ baugh, new hockey coach Bill Wilkinson and the new basketball coach Vem Payne gave speeches. Lang said the coaches offered information on their philosophy of coaching, their recruiting and their outlook for next year. Kiwanis Youth Leagues reorganized The Kiwonis-Youth Council bo*»ball ond soil­ ball programs hove just completed reorganiza­ tion of ’heir respective leagues. New teams hove been chosen in both the boys and girls divisions, and official ploy is now underway. Due to the shortage of players in the boys' Cub League, a number of youngsters were chosen to move up from the Pee Wee League. Now both leagues ore well bolonced and ready for action with four-team divisions in each age group In the girl s softboll leagues, new teams are being selected today. The third-fourth-fifth grade league will choose two new teams after on exciting final exhibition contest on Tuesday which sow Red Sox beat out the A s 7 to 6.

All participants who have regularly attended up to this point have now earned free tee shirts and hots to wear as their uniform thoughout the remainder of the summer In addition to the three head coaches, 11 assistants from throughout the program attended the outing. Attorney General to block “pay for play” programs Attorney General Frank J. Kelley filed two lawsuits last week to block “pay for play" programs being carried on by the East Jackson Public Schools and the Lapeer Community Schools. The Hastings Area Schools and the Maple Valley Schools had adopted pay for play plans before Kelley issued a September 3, 1981 opinion that concluded boards of education have no statutory authority to require payment for participation in in­ terscholastic sport programs. Following the opinion Hastings and Maple Valley dropped their pay for play plans. The East Jackson Public Schools and the Lapeer Community Schools require student atheltes to pay a participation fee if they wish to take part in high school athletics. An opinion of the Attorney General has the force of law unless stricken by a court. The September opinion was issued in response to a request by a state Senator Gary Corbin, DClio. The two lawsuits filed last week in Ingham County Circuit Court ask the court to issue injuncitons to stop the school districts from collecting fees. The East Jackson system instituted its program on Feb. 9, 1982. The Lapeer program was adopted on March 18, 1982 to be effective for the 1982-83 school year Folmar, an assistant under former coach and Hastings Athletic Director Bill Kar­ pinski for five years (1975-80), had an 11-7 record in his two years as head varsity mentor. He came to Hastings with Karpinski in 1975 from Hillsdale College, where he played and was an assistant coach. Folmar played his college football under Frank “Muddy” Waters, now the head coach at Michigan State University. Folmar, the offensive and defensive line coach under Karpinski, admits one of his biggest thrills in coaching was the 1979 Saxon team that went undefeated into the state MHSAA football playoffs. A thrill that equals that one Folmar said, is last year’s 7-2 team. “They were a group of kids that came around, worked hard and believed in themselves,” he said. “They came back when they were 1-5 the year before and won the last three, and last year came very close to being a champion.” Folmar said that coming to Hastings High with Karpinski is one of the "best things that ever happened". “Bill is a great coach and 1 learned a lot of football from him,” he said. “Moving away from the people will be the liardest thing. The fans, the boosters, everyone that has been a part of it, make it tough to leave.” Karpinski said that Folmar's leaving is "our loss and their gain”. “Don was an outstanding coach here and he is going to be a great coach there,” he said. “I hate to see him leave. From what I understand he is going to a good situation and he deserves it." “Not only is he an outstanding coach, but a gentleman.” Karpinski said that in light of the school's financial situation, a new coach will be hired from within the system. Folmar’s two assistants, Jeff Simpson and another purpose. It allows the rabbits to communicate with each other, the DNR says. “Because they are social animals, they ugcu tn have this contact to maintain and reinforce dominanace hierarchy, territories and family group bonds," the DNR reports. “This helps maintain population control.” Unfortunatly, the exodus to opne areas also results in rabbits being victims of car tires. * They are very unpredictable when on the road, the DNR says. “Sometimes they freeze in place. Other times they run off only to switch direction and continue running," the DNR says. “Because of this many are killed as toe car driver attempts to avoid them.” Other outdoor information Which of Michigan's more than 11,000 lakes make up the state’s 50 best inland fishing waters? To find the answer to that question, the Michigan Conservation Clubs (MUCC) polled leading fishing authorities in lhe state. Fisherman of wide experience, outdoor writers, and fisheries biologists were asked to name the five inland lakes they considered the best in Michigan for. fishing. Their choices were weighted and tabulated, and the lakes receiving the largest number of points were selected for inclusion in a new guide for sport fishing. Entitled "Michigan’s 50 Best Fishing Lakes,” the book contains a map, profile, and description of each lake. Anglers are given data on public access to lhe lakes, water depths and temperatures, game fish species found in the lakes, and much other information to help them improve their fishing success. Copies of ‘Michigan’s 50 Best Fishing Lakes” may be obtained for $6.95 each, postage and sales tax included, from MUCC, Box 30235, Lansing, Mich. 48909. Proceeds from sales will be used by MUCC, a non­ profit organization, for its conservation and education program.

In Philipsburg, Folmar will have seven assistants covering three programs in grades 7-9 at the junior high, and two programs at the junior varsity and varsity level. Folmar said the school is a AAA designation in Pennsylvania and has about 900 students in grades 10-12 at the senior high. He has to report next week to hire and fill out his coaching staff and work with a weight training program that a former assistant has started. Folmar will have a challenge on his hands because last year’s varsity squad collected a 2-9 record. “I look at it this way,” Folmar said, “it is easier to go up then to try and stay on top.” The Mountaineers will play an 11 game schedule in a conference called "The Big Eight". Folmar had the interview for the job on June 24 and was offered the position Monday. In addition to his football position, he will teach at the high school. While in Hastings he taught physical education and social studies in the junior high and high school. Folmar said he is not bitter about being laid off. “That is the way things go," he said. "I knew that when I started teaching and I guess I really know it now." Folmar said the funding of education needs to be changed. "There are too many cuts and not just In sports, but in academics, libraries, all programs," he said. "Something has got to change or it is going to keep going downhill." For now, the Folmars are going home. Married in 1973, they have five children, Ryan, 7, Eric, 6, Drew, 3, Scott, 2, anu Katie, 1. WOMEN'S SLOWPITCH: Thursday.

Steinfort) One of the duties of our police department is community relations. This shouldn’t be confused with public relations, as we are not selling the department, our image, or a product. The President's Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice defines police-community relations as. “a long-range, full scale effort to acquaint the police and the community with each other’s problems and to stimulate action aimed at solving those problems.” One of the ways we will improve the police­ community relations in Hastings is to write a column. Initially we will be giving you in­ formation on subjects such as crime prevention, home security, silent observer program, bicycle safety, neighborhood watch, and traffic safety. Any comments or ideas would be greatly appreciated. If you have any suggestions, please call 945-2463 or write: Chief of Police, 102 S. Broadway, Hastings, MI 49058. Crime Prevention Many people think that crime prevention is entirely the responsibility of the police. Some have gone so far as to say that if the police were doing what they were supposed to be doing a certain crime wouldn’t have been committed. This reasoning, of course, is ludicrous. If we had a cop on every corner, 24 hours a day, crime might decrease, but crime would still be present. For a person to commit a crime, he first has to have the desire to do so.Secondly, he or she must find a victim. To be able to enact the crime he or she must have the op­ portunity to commit the crime. Citizen knowledge of home and property security practices can deny the criminal the op­ portunity io commit the crime. In the oast few years, many 10-speed bicycles have been stolen out of the Hastings area. The majority of these bikes were taken from front yards and from the downtown area whu e they were ‘only left for a minute,’ unlocked. Take the thief’s opportunity away by locking the bike to something immovable or put it in a locked garage or shed when not in use. Also register all bikes with the police department so that if the bike is stolen we have the description and serial number on file. This helps us identify bikes that have been recovered and found. To minimize the opportunity of a burglar, make sure the locks in your house work good and are of a secure type. Cylinder locks with deadlock features are the best. Of course, they must be locked to be effective. Don't leave keys under mats, in mailboxs, or nailed to something. The crooks know where these places are. Also remember that the best lock is no good if you open your door without knowing who’s there. A strong chain and peep-hole are good investments. When leaving your car, don’t keep valuables in the passenger compartment, lock them in the trunk. If valuables such as cameras, binoculars, purses, and the like are ' left in the car it gives the criminal both the desire and the opportunity, even if the car is locked. You don’t have to get physically involved with somebody that you think is a criminal. But if you do see something suspicious or unusual, call the police.

Johnston Richard K. Hoodie® engaged in an off-the-cuff debate after his speech with Rep. Robert Welborn, brother at State Sen. Jack Welborn, who is also a candidate for governor. Rep. Welborn is seeking the state senate seat from the 13th District. (Banner photo) Hastings Richard K Hoadlw La acainsi thr n«,nlp Richard K. Headlee is against the people who have been running the government in Lansing — and he hopes to join them in January. Headlee, a Republican candidate for governor, is against big government and high taxes. He calls for a part-time legislature. He says that government must get out of the way of economic reform. He wants to increase funding for education and decrease property taxes. Wednesday, the Farmington Hills resident brought his campaign to Hastings, where he spoke to members of the Hastings Kiwanis and Rotary clubs during a luncheon at the Emmanuel Church Parish House. The candidate criticized the state leaders for the entire range of government policy, from the pay of state employees to the single business tax, and from the cost welfare programs to the lack of money for education. Leader of a successful campaign for a 1978 tax limitation ammendment, Headlee plecfeed to give the state an "up beat, take charge, make something happen leader­ ship”. "The governor lias to gei government out of tne way" Headlee said as a prescription for curing state ills. "Gove»nment’s too big, taxes are too high and it’s being managed badly." llleidlee's points during his speech could 1931, one out of every eigeight people was on lit go unnoticed. He had them printed in big welfare. letters on charts.

The contention of Lansing officials that state government has been cut to the bone is a myth, he charged. His charts compared the BUDGET state budgets in 1961, 1969 and 1981, when (IN BILLIONS) spending was $1.31 billion, $2.7 billion and $10.1 billion, respectively.

Hoare won’t have to resign from the Barry County Social Services Board to run for a seat on county board of com­ missioners, the prosecutor's office says. The opinion from prosecutor's office said members of the county social services board of directors may engage in political activity during the times when they're not being compensated for board duties. The legality of Mrs. Hoare’s situation had been in question because of what appeared to be conflicting legislation. If elected commissioner, however. Mrs Hoare said she realizes it would not be legal for her to stay on the social services board. “My term on the social service board expires in October anyway," prior to the general election, she scid. Mrs. Hoare, a Democrat and former county commissioner, is seeking election to district seven which includes Prairieville and Barry townships and a small part of Orangeville Township. County Prosecutor Judy Hughes said Wednesday that the opinion does require a social services board member, who wins election, to resign or be granted a leave of absence from the board during the time period of the term of an elected-county of­ fice. Richard Ritter, director of the county social services department, had asked the prosecutor's office to render an opinion on the matter after Mrs. Hoare and another board member asked to have the subject clarified. Ritter said Mrs. Hoare “asked me about it when she decided that she might run for county commissioner, wondering if it might be a conflict of interest. He said another social services board member asked if she could campaign for a political candidate, during off-duty time while serving on the board. “I called the Central Office in Lansing and my field service administrator said to request an opinion from the county prosecutor," Ritter said. The complexity of the issue revolves around two state laws which, on the surface, appear to be in conflict. The matter was further compounded by regulations in a 1980 state department of social services handbook which states that board members may not become official candidates for elective office without resigning from the board. The handbook also suggests that if any further interpretation is needed, questions should be directed to a county prosecutor. Opinions on similar situations have been different on a county-by-county basis. The prosecutor’s office does not determine constitutionality of legislation, but is obligated to interpret laws which are questionable according to the dictates of the Supreme Court In Mrs. Hoare’s case, the laws which appear to be inconsistant are the social welfare act. created by 1939 legislation, which specifically prohibits political activity by social services board members, and the 1976 political freedom act which authorizes political activity, with certain restrictions, by certain public employees. The county prosecutor’s office defines social service board members as "appointed employees” of the county. In determining an opinion on political activity for social services board members, the prosecutor’s office said the older legislation, the social welfare act, addressed, in part, problems with the political patronage system (spoils system) of that era. "Clearly, the extent of political par­ ticipation by state employees, during working hours at that time (in the ’30's) was considered a serious and expensive cause of poor job performance by unqualified per­ sonnel," the prosecutor’s opinion noted. It also states tnat when the political freedom act became legislation, years later, the spoils system had been abolished. Taking a liberal interpretation of the social welfare act and leaning heavily on the political freedom act, the prosecutor's office said its opinion would allow board members to engage in political activity while not on duty, eliminating the apparent conflict with a person's ability to exercise civil liberties guaranteed by both the United States and Michigan Constitutions and addressed in the political freedoms act. “I’m pleased with the decision,” said Ritter. "I think that a narrow interpretation might unnecessarily restrict opportunities for board members to exercise their political rights. "A good board member very frequently is politically active in one way or another and any other interpretation would severely limit the ability of finding good qualified board members such as Mrs. Hoare." Ritter also said he will submit the county prosecutor's opinion to the state level of the social services department because he feels the department’s handbook needs to be changed. As a candidate. Mrs. Hoare said, "I couldn't possibly see how my position on the social services board could be construed to mean that I could use it politically. “I knew that a precedent had been set previous to meso I felt all along there was no conflict of interest,” she said. Mrs. Hoare explains that the "precedent" to which she :efers occur ed when Com­ missioner Paul Richard Dean held the same state-appointed position on the social service boaid when he was a candidate for the county board. “He was allowed to serve on the social service board until he was sworn in as a commissioner,” she said. Ethel Boze, who also serves on the county social services board, said she is pleased with the prosecutor's decision. "I’m happy with it, since I like to be politically active. I think it’s a fair decision. I figured it would go that way...because why shouldn’t we have the same rights as everybody else," said Mrs. Boze. She said she plans to campaign for Walter Soy* for commissioner, Jack Welborn for governor, and to help staff Ronald Reisterer’;. (candidate for the 88th state representative’s seat) booth at the fair. The philosophy in the memorandum from the prosecutor’s office, in part, says, "If one interprets the social welfare act prohibition on political activity so as to include both on and off the job political activity, the result is the curtailment of fundamental civil liberties guaranteed to all citizens by both the United States and Michigan Constitutions," the prosecutor’s office said. The county opinion cites, among other cases, the 1952 decision regarding the Antrim County Social Welfare Board versus the Lapeer County Welfare Board. In that case it was determined “a later statute is paramount and controlling so far as in conflict with an older statute on the same subject.” Also cited in the prosecutor’s opinion is a Michigan Supreme Court decision regarding "a problem similar to the local county issue. That 1980 decision declared a civil service commission rule invalid because it went against the right of a civil service employee to be politically active when off-duty as authorized in the political freedom Act. “The court emphasized that each case must be looked upon individually by the Department, with respect to whether the political activity engaged in by the em­ ployee, outside the office, had the effect of interfering with job performance.” The county opinion, researched and written by Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Randall S. Levine, said, “In adopting this interpretation to the situation we are dealing with here, it is clear, that a board member who engaged in off duty political activity, as authorized by the political freedom act, would still be subject to possible sanction by the authority vested in ihe director of social services board, should such political activity interfere with satisfactory job per­ formance." Boating mishap claims Delton man’s life A 55-year-old Delton man died Tuesday in Pennock hospital following a July 4 boating accident on Larabee Lake. Dead is Reno Earle Warner, 7700 Lam­ mers Rd. According to Barry County Sheriff reports, Warner and a companion, Ervin Burton, Lammers Rd., were fishing Sunday night. Around 8 p.m.. Burton tried but was unable to pull up the anchor by himself, and asked Warner for assistance. At that time, the boat capsized. Sheriffs say Purton stayed with the boat, but Warner tried to swim to shore. Warner was found floating face down about 20 feet offshore by two fishermen, who attempted artificial respiration. Warner was then taken to Pennock Hospital, where he died two days later. Warner was bom Dec. 23,1926 in Marshall, the son of Reno L. and Opal M. (Leonard) Warner. He had been employed the past 18 years by Hoffman Brothers as a truck driver, and was a member of Local 34 Teamsters Union. He is survived by numerous friends. Services for Warner are today (Thursaay1, at 3 p.m. at the Girrbach Funeral Home. Rev. Kenneth Vaught officiated. Burial is in Cedar Creek Cemetery.

Nashville pawn shop burglarized A motorcyle, a stereo, and $200 in cash were stolen during a burglary Friday, July 2 at the Quality Pawn in Nashville, according to shop manager Jack Priesman. He said the break-in is under investigation by the village police department. The burglary apparently happened sometime Friday night and was discovered Saturday morning, he said. Priesman said the thief or thieves cut through a hurricane fence to gain access to the motorcyle and broke the door of the building to gain entry into the shop. As far as he can determine, Priesman said the money and stereo were the only items taken from inside the store. Quality Pawn opened two months ago at 209 North Main St. in Nashville.

According to a reporter for The Columbus Dispatch, Cherie now works at the flight school six days a week leaching, piloting, or doing office work.

West State at Broadway Member FDIC All Deposits Insured up to '100,000 �The Hastings Banner, Thursday, July 8,1982 • Page 4 MESC survey shows area, state unemployment drops Strong seasonal hiring helped drop unemoloyment rates in all 13 of the state's major labor markets during May, according to the latest survey of the Michigan Em­ ployment Security Commission. The release of area estimates normally follows the release of statewide data by four weeks. The May jobless rate for the Battle Creek standard metropolitan statistical area ismsa), which includes both Calhoun and Barry Counties, is 14.9 percent, down from April's rate of 15 J percent The unemployment rate for Barry County during May is 17.2 percent, with 3,425 in­ dividuals jobless out of a labor force of 19,925. On June 4, MESC announced that Michigan's May jobless rate was 14.3 per­ cent, down from 15.5 percent in April. The number of idle workers statewide in May totaled 616,000, a drop of 38,000 from April. The Ann Arbor-Ypsilanti area reported the lowest unemployment rate among the major areas. The area's jobless rate fell to 9.2 percent from 9.8 percent in April. The Flint area had the largest decline as its jobless rate fell from 23.2 percent in April to 19.8 percent in May. The drop resulted largely from callbacks by area auto plants. But despite the improvement, the area still has the largest unemployment rate in the state. S. Martin Taylor, MESC director, at­ tributes the statewide drop to job gains in the manufacturing sector along with strong seasonal hiring in the construction, agricultural, retail and service industries. The job gains increased total employment statewide.

Banks join in remote computer facility located in Middleville Robert Picking, president of Hastings City Bank and William Rupp, president of United Community Bank have announced the for­ mation of a remote transmission computer facility which will be owned and operated jointly by the two banks. The computer facility, which will be located in Middleville, will be used by both banks on a time sharing basis with each bank's accounts and data completely segregated. A honeywell DPS-6 computer system will be used to tansmit and receive data from a central processing computer located at Mellon Bank in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. Mellon Bank is the fifteenth largest financial institution in the United States and currently assists over 200 banks with their data processing needs.

Dave Merck, extension agricultural agent for Barry County, says that historically, interest in gardening increases during hard financial times. Indeed, Merck has seen more area residents planting gardens this year than last. Merck says it is a bit early yet for many diseases and insect problems to be widely detected. However, he says he has handled complaints of an uneven emergence oi sweet com, due to uneven rainfall early on this spring. Another problem, prevalent every year, is tomato blight. Merck says tomato blight can be caused by either a fungus or a bacteria. Predictably, either a fungucide or a bacteriacide can stop the problem. And of course, insects are always a nuisance. Merck says that aphids, small, juice-sucking critters, are out in greater numbers this year than in most. Art Brewer’s knowledge of gardens, fer­ tilizers, pests and such is limited, by his own admittance, but he doesn't care. “I don’t know a whole lot about gar­ dening," he says, "but we’ve had good luck all these years.” And he has swiss chard every winter, too.

Friday is a special day tor a special man Tom Stebbins’ banking interest will never decline by Elaine Gilbert Thomas Stebbins took a cut in pay in 1947 when he changed careers to go into banking, learning the ropes as a teller at Hastings City Bank However, his career has risen ever since Stebbins was elected bank president at t|ie age of 39 and now is chairman of the board. This week, he’s reached another milestone in his life as he heads into sem:-retirement. In honor of his contributions to the local banking institution, Friday, July 9 has been declared Tom Stebbins Day at Hastings City Bank. It was his father’s death that caused Stebbins to change careers in July of 1947. His father had been bank president and his death earlier that year left a distinct void in the bank’s management team. That’s when young Stebbins resigned his job as sales representative with a Grand Rapids brokerage firm to join the ranks of Michigan bankers. He says he has never regretted it. Stebbins, who holds a bachelor and master's degrees in business from the University of Michigan, worked for seven years for Paine, Webber, Jackson & Curtis as a securities analyst advising small banks on investment matters. Following two and one-half years in the U.S. Army during World War II, he returned to Paine-Webber as a sales representative. Although Stebbins took a pay cut to join the bank, he says it was a pleasure to return to .Hastings, his home town. At that time, Hastings City Bank had one remaining officer (his father had been the other), about 10 employees and resources of $4,000,000. Today, the Bank has 60 employees and total assets of $57,000,000. Stebbins worked initially as a teller striving to leam as much aS be could about the bank's operation in a short time. Soon he moved up to management duties. In 1954, at the age of 39, Stebbins was elected president of Hastings City Bank. At that time, he was among the youngest bank presidents in the state. As the bank continued to glow, more room was needed to effectively serve the financial needs of the community. The bank moved to new quarters on Court Street on November 4, 1958 from its original location on State Street, now occupied by Gilmore’s Jewelry Store. In planning the new building, Stebbins said he visited 35 other banks which had recently remodeled or rebuilt entirely new structures. He returned home convinced that too many of these institutions had spent unduly large sums without providing adequate space for future growth. As a result, in 1958, Hastings City Bank moved into a building with floor space of 11,000 square feet — a big difference from the 2,500 square feet in its original location. The bank staff was comprised of four officers and only 16 employees at that time. A unique feature of the building, the present day headquarters, are the teller counters which allow privacy for customers during banking transactions. Those unique teller counters were designed by Stebbins when he had too much time on his hands while confined to his home for six-weeks with a handy drawing board as he recovered from his second round with the mumps. At that time, Stebbins recalls saying, ‘1 think that many of my banker friends who came to our open house in 1958 had the im­ pression that this country banker had con­ structed a monumental edifice to his own vanity.” NEW NON-STOP SERVICE TO CHICAGO /MIDWAY AND DETROIT r x It's not as important to be serious as it is to be serious about the important TAKE YOUR BUSINESS TO CHICAGO...

Stebbins recalled that his own worst ex­ perience m community activities was the time in 1949 when he served as Hastings chairman of the fund raising drive for the Barry County Red Cross, which is now wellregarded for its contributions of help in many situations. “We had trouble inducing people to make calls — so strong was the bitterness and illfeeling tov/ard the Red Cross by World War II G.I.’s, particularly those who had served in the European Theatre. It turned out later that most of the complaints were based on misinformation at the time. Nevertheless, the results of the fund drive were poor and most disconcerting for my first effort in a community solicitation,” said Stebbins. He says a memorable situation in his career occurred about 1950, when Hastings City Bank was still located on State St. “I came to work one morning to learn that both bookxeepers had quit without notice. Since all checks and deposited items had to be posted every single day, Roy Chandler (who was a cashier then) and I endured a self-taught crash course in operating Burroughs posting machines. The two of us. with more expert heip from Frances Johncock and others, managed to keep the work current until replacements were hired. “Too many nights, however, we never got to bed until Jong after midnight. At least it made us more appreciative of the stress a machine operator may suffer when the work load becomes too heavy," says Stebbins. He said tali' tales could be told about memorable experiences that occured while accompanying the bank’s field man who called on customers who were in default on loan payments. Continued on page Unique teller counters at Hastings City Bank were designed by Tom Stebbins (left) when he was at home recovering from the mumps. Here he is shown talking with Teller Karla McKeough. Wendell’s Wit: AIR LINCOLN MAKES ITS SCHEDULES TO FIT YOURS However, only 15 years later, in order to provide additional facilities, a 40 by 70 foot addition was built on the east side of the building. New drive-in units, separate from the main building, and offices for local at­ torneys also were added during the project. In 1975, a merger was consummated with the Fanners State Bank of Middleville, and a new office building was constructed in 1977 to meet the growing needs of the Middleville area. Stebbins says he is a strong proponent of independent banking and community-owned banks. “I still am convinced that the local in­ stitution cin more effectively serve its market area than either a branch of a large bank whose home office is some distance away, w a subsidiary of a large holding company. “If the independent bank is well managed it can survive and achieve a performance level higher than its much larger out-of-town competitors,” Stebbins said. In order to achieve these objectives the bank must have capable personnel who are well trained and are paid salaries that are competitive to what is available in the market place, he added. In meeting those goals, Stebbins stated that the bank does enjoy a sound management team. ‘‘Professionalism among its officers is a major goal of the institution. The bank’s public rela'ions pregram stresses the need for a warm, receptive atmosphere for its customers based on courtesy and friendly smiles from tellers all the way to the chairman of the board," he said. Stebbins notes that the bank’s personnel are deeply involved in community affairs. The bank is represented in Kiwanis, Rotary and Lions service clubs, and in the chamber Hello, stranger.

Clerk 102 Tanner Lake Road Hastings, Michigan 49058 (7-15) NOW AT FRANTZ-BUICK CHEVROLET Tom Stebbins, continued... "The worst cases were those where we attempted to repossess a car. One in particular comes to mind when I came very close to having my head, bashed in," Stebbins recalls. "We had stopped at a house west of Hastings to repossess an automobile. The husband, about 5’ 7” tall and 130 pounds wringing wet, was cooperative. While we were talking, his wife, who was about 6’ and 180 pounds, came charging from the house in a frenzy of anger swinging a piece of pipe about three feet long. He was elected Io lhe Hoard ot Directors of Hastings Mutual Insurance in 1S59 and remains active in that capacity today. Stebbins was a long-time member of the Hastings Country Club and still belongs to the E conomic Club of Detroit. Honors bestowed to Stebbins include the "Citizen of the Year" award from the Hastings Elks Lodge in 1965. The Hastings Rotary also honored him, along with Ken Rheam. with the Red Rose Citation for outstanding service to tne community in 1980. Stebbins, 68, says his retirement from active duty will be "a traumatic experience but. will be made much easier in knowing that the management of the bank is in the capable hands of Bob Picking, president and chief executive officer and his young executives, all of whom have solid backgrounds in the business of banking When asked about his basic philosophy, Stebbins said "hard work in pursuits that you consider constructive help todevelopan inner strength to face the problems of livinc in this liectic world. "Perhaps, however, I earned this point of view too far in my job, as it left me without a variety of other activities or hobbies. However, if I find I am too old for golf and certainly for tennis, I can always fall back on learning to pitch hor­ seshoes in Harry Adrounie’s backyard,” chuckles Stebbins. He said he will continue at the bank in c more limited capacity as chairman of the board, and at least for a while, maintain an office in the rear of the bank building. NEXT WEEK penny a pound Only a penny for each pound your child weighs for one 5x7 color portrait* from Thomas Stebbins, chairman of the board of Hastings City Bank, will be honored at the bank this Friday. (Banner photo) I think she would have caught us as we ran for our car if her spouse had not slowed her pace by hanging onto her other arm. It was the only time that I was exposed to an all out effort to do bodily harm," he said. Community involvement is part of a banker’s life and Stebbins has made many contributions in that area. He helped establish the first full-time office of the local chamber of commerce and developed its first office procedures and accounting system. Stebbins served on the advisory committee that approved the plans and submitted them to the community for the first post-war expansion of the school building program. As an active member of the screening committee, Steb­ bins helped establish tentative quotas for Pennock Hospital’s fund raising drive in 1964. For many years, he served as secretary of the YMCA board and finally its president. As a member of the Hastings City Planning Commission for 17 years and its chairman for 12 years, he recalls many trying and frustrating times — particularly over zoning problems. He was co-organizer, along with Richard Gross, Richard M. Cook, Paul Siegel, and Stephen Johnson of the Thor­ napple Foundation which was formed in 1962. Stebbins still serves as one of the original directors of this philanthropic organization. ■ No appointment necessary ■ Age limit 12 years ■ Add 1.00 lor 2 or more children together. •Irom original package Offer good from July 13th through July 17th.

"It was viewed by hun­ dreds of people and pronounced tops”, so says the Hastings Banner. Many well-known names seem to pop up in all divisions of flowers and even a special category of roses. Bob O'Donnell. Victor Sisson, Roger Fowler, Charles Rogers, Fritz Balance, John Wood, Curtis Garrison, Charles Davis, Jams Batson, Oscar Struble, Claude Wiseman and Bill Parker being mentioned as taking several prizes in different flower showings. The May meeting was mostly a report on tne State Federation Convention held at the Pantlind Hotel in Grand Rapids. Mrs. Sutton attended as the representative and her ex­ penses were paid by the club. $1.50 for registration and $1.25 for lunch. The latest figures at the most recent state gathering in the New Pantlind location were $8.00 for registration and $16.50 for dinner. It seems times have changed and so have prices. The July meeting was held in the lovely yard of Mrs. DeVries, where a luncneon was served. Whether invited or not, a ground­ mole came to the party, adding some spice to the occasion. Mrs. Coleman and Mrs. Cota sprang to the aid of Mrs. DeVries and Mr. Mole was quickly taken care of. No mention is made of how they “took care of him." The wishing well was lost or misplaced and not found until later in August with many parts missing. Chet Stowell offered to repair it as soon as materials were available. The club was invited to the home of Ralph Kidder to see his lovely canaries which he raised and sold for many years. At the September meeting, another new idea for the club came into being. “Herb Growing at Home", the newest thing. Mrs. Stowell and Mrs. Bauer told how to enjoy this new adventure in gardening both in the growing and in the eating. Herbs are an old seasoning and must be used with care in foods. New officers nominated and elected for 1946 were Mrs. Storer, president; Mrs. Quigley, first vice president; Mrs. Hobbs, second vice president; Mrs. Robinson, treasurer; Mrs. Sutton, recording secretary ; and Mrs. Cowles, correspondence secretary. It was decided that members bring materials and make favors for the people at the County Home. The club will buy candy and make gifts for 35 people at the home. Mrs. Ironsides, Mrs. Slocum and Mrs. Rothaar became new members. The May treasury showed a balance of. $107.97, a new high. Plans were under way for the Barry County Flower Festival to be held June 12 in the high school gym. The Ban field ladies will serve a luncheon for 85 cents. A program following the lunch will include a solo sung by Patricia Belsito, Mr. Lewis Hine playing a clarinet solo and a talk on “Posey-Posing" by Mrs. C. A. Triphagen. Two lovely spruce trees were finally planted in Tyden Park as a memorial to the war dead. It was suggested that the club investigate the idea of placing two marble benches in the park with suitable plaques. These could be obtained from the Patton Monument Works at a cost of $30.00 each. A new member was Mrs. Lawrence Faul. The benches and the trees were placed at the entrance of Tyden Park at a cost tu the club of $40. The club will do the landscaping. An entirely new slate of officers began the year of 1948 with President Mrs. Densmore, and Mrs. Wilcox, Mrs. Stauffer. Mrs. Sharp, Mrs. Valentine and Mrs. Robinson as her staff. Candy was made this year and fruit was purchased for the annual gift to the people at the County Home for Christmas. In March 1948, the club met at the home of Mrs. Densmore. Mrs. C. D. Bauer, Mrs. Truesdale and Mrs. Valentine were ap­ pointed to the Civic Committee and to plan the landscaping for the memorial at Tyden Park. All Garden Clubs were asked at this time to help with “Seeds of Peace”, a program to help the starving people of Europe. $5.00 was donated by the club for this worthy project. The refreshments at this meeting were really in keeping with the time of the year, hot maple sugar and wafers, a real old fashioned treat, were served by Mrs. Densmore, Miss Henry and Mrs. Stauffer. Mrs. Densmore attended the State Con­ vention of Garden Clubs held in Traverse City in June as a delegate of the local club. At the June meeting, a letter from the City of Hastings was read thanking the club for Lheir contribution of the benches and the shrub­ bery in Tyden Park. The memorial consisted of two marble benches engraved with "In loving memory of the Boys and Girls who served the Country in the World War II”. The benches were in a lovely setting of blue spruce, juniper and yews. In July, the club took a delightful excursion to Kalamazoo. A picnic lunch was enjoyed in Milham Park, followed by a walk through this very well managed park, then on to Crane Park, a formal garden Kept up by the city. Mrs. Perkins was the guide for the day. One of the most beautiful trips so far. Did you know that chrysanthemums should be planted in May and that too little fertilizer is worse than too much? Just a note along the way. The club was entertained at the November meeting at tne home of Mrs. Roger Wiswell. Bills for the plantings at Tyden Park were presented and a total of $22.96 was paid for all the junipers, spruce and yews. A card was sent to Mayor Charles Leonard thanking the city for the choice of the club to help in this big project. Officers for the new year were: Mrs. Densmore, Mrs. Wilcox, Mrs. Stauffer, Mrs. Barnes and Mrs. Bush. The last meeting of the year was held at the lovely home of Mrs. Earl Rothaar. The house was complete with decorations for the holidays, even to the traditional bells on the door. At this meeting, Mrs. Stauffer presented an interesting program on the feeding of birds both in the winter and the summer. There are 15 or 20 birds that stay around all year. She discussed the kinds of feeding stations and food to be used in them. Mrs. Rothaar then showed two very different and interesting stations that could be made and used. In 1949, at the first meeting of the year, held at the home of Mrs. Wa’ter Perkins, a big step was again taken. It was decided that the club should open a checking account at one of the local banks. New members were Mrs. Manson Couch, Mrs. Philip Leonhardt, Mrs. Jack Sempf and Mrs. La Verne Wilson. A letter of thanks was received by the dub for sending money for “Seeds of Peace". Mrs. Charles Rowley became a new member in the month of April. In June, Mrs. Sharp resigned as secretary and Mrs William Parker was elected to finish out the year. New officers for the year 1950 were elected as follows: Mrs. Herbert Wilcox, president; Mrs. Jennie McBain, first vice president; Mrs. Harold Slocum, second vice president; Mrs. Parker, recording secretary; Mrs. cretary; Mrs. Elmer Bush, correspondence secretary; and Mrs. D. W. Barnes, treasurer. The dub met in May at the home of Violet Robinson and reports on selling stationery, the soil conservation and testing were given by the hostess and Mrs. Slocum. A soil testing station has been set up at the Farm Bureau. Mrs. Philip Leonhardt entertained the club in September with a program on "Flower Arrangements". Chip St. Martin demon­ strated several floral arrangements for different occasions, much to the enjoyment of the members and guests. The October meeting was another trip. This time, the ladies journeyed to the Battle Creek home of Mrs. Wilbur Ingerson to visit her spectacular gardens. She had some 250 varieties and colors of chrysanthemums. She spoke later on their care Tea was served in her lovely home.

Mrs. Walter Hobbs acted as auctioneer. The treasury now stood at $88.90. The December meeting was held at the home of Mrs. William Parker on S. Broad­ way. Mrs. Richard Gilbert, a native of the Philippines, gave an interesting talk on Christmas in her home on the islands. No doubt many of you remember "Rosie” Gilbert, a most charming and vivacious lady. New officers for the new year were Mrs. Herbert Wilcox, president; Mrs. Harold Slocum, first vice president; Mrs. Rozell Stanton, second vice president; Mrs. William Parker, recording secretary; Mrs. John Thomas, correspondence secretary; and Mrs. Walter Perkins, treasurer. The April meeting at the home of Mrs. Perkins was made interesting by a reviw by Mrs. I. J. Smith on the book "Partner of Nature” by Luther Burbank. It was his belief that plants should be made to work for man. An interesting observation. The annual Barry County Flower Festival was held in June in the Central School playroom with Mrs. Rothaar and Mrs. Wilcox acting as our club hostesses. Eighty women from all county clubs made up the table arrangements which were to be judged later. Mrs. John Thomas was chairman for the affair with Mrs. Rogers, Mrs. Ritzman, Mrs. Quigley and Mrs. Sempf as her helpers. There are now four well established garden clubs in the county. Nashville, Middleville, Delton and Hastings will continue the festival each year, rotating in the en­ tertaining. Mrs. Lawrence Faul entertained 30 members and guests at her lovely home in Woodland, assisted by her daughter, Virginia, Mrs. Agnes Fisher and Mrs. Lester Brumm, all of Woodland. After a delicious lunch, the group journeyed to Lake Odessa fora trip through the Johnson Rose Gardens. It was at the home of Mrs. Charles Rowley, out Quimby way, at the October meeting, that the Green Sale began. It was decided to hold a sale sometime in early December, the Annual Greens Sale had become the most important project of the year for the Thor­ napple Garden Club and was almost a “must" to visit at this time of year. New officers Mrs. Chester Stowell, Mrs. Rozdl Stanton, Mrs. Plynn Matthews, Mrs. Walter Perkins, Mrs. John Thomas, Mrs. E. G. Rothaar began the new year. At this meeting, Mrs. Stowell read an article on “My Slips are Showing", an interesting lesson on how to "slip" plants. Most plants can be slipped and thus new ones started if one watches them carefully. Balance on hand for the new year was $119.71 It was announced at the November meeting that the club reported to the Regional Offices that 81 trees and shrubs had been planted in differen. places by our club to date. The December meeting was held at the country home of Mrs. Shirley Ritzman on December 13, with Mrs. Ritzman and her committee, Mrs. Densmore and Mrs. Thomas, serving. Also assisting with the Tea Table were Mrs. Ritzman's daughter, Mrs. Dewayne Pugh, and Mrs. Thomas' daughter, Mrs. James Houghtalin, pouring the tea and coffee. (I wish to say here it will be a pleasure to read the minutes as written by Mrs. Earl (Mae) Rothaar. Her handwriting is really beautiful and legible and her reporting of the events is really very complete.) In April, the meeting was held at the home of Mrs. Lloyd Storer. It was all about violets, the theme of the day. A thank you card was read from Mrs. Cascadden tlianking the club for flowers sent at the passing of her husband.. A by-law was added to “Send flowers in the event of a death in the im­ mediate family of members of the Thor­ napple Garden Chib." The tea table was most interesting today, carrying on the theme “violets". Tiny white cakes were served, decorated with little purple violets. Did you know that garden violets are sometimes used as herbs and have a very distinctive flavor? Mrs. I. J. Smith, “The Poetry Lady", closed the meeting with a selection, “Wild Violets" by S. Omar Barker. A bird hunt and May morning breakfast was the thing to do on a fresh May morning as 35 members rose early and met at the home of Mrs. Stauffer on May 8. It was cold and the air was hear/ with a fine mist but the many hardy ladies took a long walk through the fields and along the roads to search out the “early birds", the feathered variety. Bacon, eggs, toast and lots of hot, hot coffee sure hit the spot. The June meeting was devoted to the finding, gathering and preserving of wild weeds, flowers, buds and greens that grow along the country roads. Weeds, grasses,! leaves, berries and buds must be picked in the heat of the day and at the height of bloom as the moisture is at its lowest then. They are then put in a mixture of glycerine and water (one teaspoon glycerine to one quart of water) and left for a week or two. Carefully preserved, these weeds and such can become beautiful arrangements for the winter season. In September, the dub entertained 60 members and guests with a carry-in dinner and Harvest Festival in the Barry County Farm Bureau social rooms. A program was enjoyed with Phyllis Leonhardt, ac­ companied by her mother, playing two flute solos. "The Poetry Lady" reaa a poem and colored films were shown. Mrs. Harold Slocum was chairman for the evening, assisted by Mrs. Robert Baldwin and Mrs. Myrtle Bulling. Ms. Carrie Fisher was sent as the delegate to Higgins Lake Camp. Treasury report: $98.24. The October meeting was held at the Algonquin School with the students of Carrie Fisher putting on the program A highlight of this was the piano selections by Waller Bowden. New members were Miss Jean Barnes, Mrs. Snyder, Mrs. Fay Hummel, Mrs. Balance, Mrs. Grimwood, and Mrs. DeVine. In November 1952, 35 members met at the home of Mrs. W. J. Field where plans were made for the Annual Greens Sale. Mrs. Gertrude Matthews was appointed to handle the sale, with committees appointed to help. The December annual Green Sale was a huge success with a total of $200.00 taken in. It was decided tohold it earlier next year and start early to make new and different items to sell. Greens seem to be the real "seller” as everyone is too busy to hunt greens and make wreaths. The March 1953 meeting was another turning point for the club. Miss Henry, treasurer, reported on the purchase of Two U.S. Bonds with the $200.00 from the sale, which will be put toward the savings for a Garden Center in the future. Dues were raised to$1.50 per year. In May. the chib met at the home of Mrs. Plynn Matthews on North Broadway with ever 40 members and guests present. Plans were made to attend the state convention to be held at the Kellogg Center in East Lansing. Mrs. Stowell was allowed $10.00 for her to attend al! sessions and Mrs. Matthews and Mrs. Stanton were to go for a day. In June, Mrs. Richard Bauer and Mrs. Tac Gies became new members at a luncheon in Woodland given by the four members of the club that live in Woodland. Mr. West of the Pennock Hospital staff offered the Garden Club a plot of ground on the lawn for a flower garden. Mrs. Herbert Wilcox was appointed to work with them and design an appropriate garden. It was suggested that this could be an inspiration to offer the same project to the County Home and other rest homes in the area. Horticultural therapy was discussed, which today has become a regular part of the club program. The Irving Grange Hall was the scene of the September meeting with a Fall Festival Exhibit. At 6:30 p.m., a co-op supper was served to 63 members, husbands and children. Displays of flowers, fruits and vegetables were very well arranged by Mrs. Richard Bauer, Mrs. Stowell. Mrs. Valentine and Mrs. Stanton New officers for the year 1954 were Mrs. Stanton, president; Mrs. Matthews, first vice presient; Mrs. DeVine, second vice president. Mrs. Hazel Henry, treasurer; Mrs. Richard Bauer, secretary; Mrs. I. J. Smith, correspondence secretary. The Harvest Sale netted $101.42 so now the treasury stands at $343.14. With another successful Greens Sale, the club closed the year with a grand balance of $464.14.

Thus another part of this story ends, to be continued. Jaycees have setting out flags for 26 years Hanging American flags on the streets has been a community development project of the Hastings Jaycees since 1956. The tradition of flag setting is a project of many Jaycee chapters throughout the country. To make the project a success, the Jaycees enlist the aid of merchants and other civic-minded individuals to help purchase the flag pole sets. A yearly setting charge of $15 to help build the club's flag supply is charged to each merchant. If you would like to help the Jaycees in their project, call either Mike Kasinsky, president, or Bill Dreyer. The Jaycees met the first Tuesday of every month at the C. A.C. Building on N. Michigan Ave. at 7 p.m. Bob Ruthruff (left) and Mike Kasinsky display Old Glory in front of the Barry County Court House. They Jaycees currently have about 53 flag sets on hand for holiday displays.

Then call Jeff Simpson at 945-3294, for more information on how you can get involved in the YMCA Backyard Learn to Swim program. The cost is only $15 for eight lessons. The next session starts July 12. They needed a place for their activity and they found it at the Community Activities Center, 122 N. Michigan Ave. A group of 17 Hastings men are working out with Olympic sytle powerlifting equip­ ment on a regular basis in the basemen' of the CAC. “We needed a place with a lot of room for our workouts," offered Tom Parker, one of three young men that worked out the renting of the CAC basement. “We all brought our equipment down here and we are all pitching in to try and pay the rent," he said. Parker, Wayne Rodgers and David Allerding are the three powerlifting en­ thusiasts that got the project off the ground and into the basement of the CAC. They took money out of their own pockets to give the basement walls a coat of paint recently, and they have built a lot of their own equipment. Rodgers and Allerding are both employed at Ketchum Machinery in Freeport. They use their work know-how to help them build their own equipment. The only things they have purchased are the plates. They bought them from Hastings Barbell Co., owned by Jim Sutherland, one of the regulars at the “gym”. The list of current equipment includes a tbar rower, a lat pull down machine, three bench press set ups, one dip bar, one exercise bench, one curl bar, three squat racks and two dead lift platforms. Under construction by the trio is a leg extension machin" and inclined set-ups board. "Right now we are set up to work mainly on the three powerlifting lifts, (dead lift, bench press and squat lift)” Rodgers said. "We hope down the road to add stuff for a lightweight gym." Parker said they are not interested in making money on the project “We would just like to make enough to pay the rent so we can keep a place to work out," Parker said. “I look at it as though we found our place to train, and if someone else needs a place they are welcome to work out with us." Roogers said it helps the workout when someone else is around. “It makes you work harder at it," he said. "It gives you a reason to push yourself." Students are asked to pay $5 each month to work out, and others are asked to pay $10. All the money just pays the rent, Parker said. Rodgers and Parker have gained their weight training knowledge from books and going to powerlifting meets. "You would be surprised at how much you can pick up just by going to a powerlifting meet and talking with the lifters,” Rodgers said. "They all have new ideas, new techniques and new ways to work out.” Rodgers and Parker said they compete in The tournament will be held at the Hastings Country Club and proceeds will go to the battle against cancer. Competition will be held in scratch and handicap and the winning teams will win an all expense paid trip to the state Hagen tournament at Boyne Highlands. Tour­ nament organizer Dave Rodenbeck said that handicap teams must have at least two members that hail from Barry County. The cost for each four man team is $100. Sponsors have been lined up for each hole. Last year the local event raised $2,040. Members of the committee that are plannmg the tournament are Rodenbeck, George Buzz Youngs, Hal Buerge, Robert VanderVeen, Lew Lang and Paul Peterson.

Parker, 25, a Hastings High graduate, started lifting weights when he was 22. Rodgers, 22. started his lifting during his football and track career at Hastings High.

"There are teams in Detroit that have to recruit team members from al) over the state." Rodgers said if newcomers can make it past the first week and a half of workouts, they usually can make it as a powerlifter. “You use muscles you didn't know you had,” Parker said.

Johnston A game turned into tragedy Wednesday when a nine-year old Hastings youth ac­ cidentally hanged himself at a school playground. Chris Patten, 426 S. Dibble St., was reported to be in serious condition Thursday morning at Kalamazoo's Bronson hospital. According to Hastings police officer Al Stanton, Patten was playing with a rope which kids had suspended between two trees at the Southeastern Elementary playground off S. Dibble St., when he slipped from a branch and hanged for several minutes before being cut down. The youth told his playmates to “go get the girls", then wrapped a rope loosely about his neck and sat sidesaddle on a tree branch, seven to eight feet off the ground, says Stanton. Moments later, the boy fell. Stanton says there was no knot in the rope when he cut the boy down. Hutch Clason, 17,502 East Hubbie, says he assisted Stanton is cutting Patten down. He says the rope was suspended between two trees, and that Patten was unconcious when he and the police officer arrived. Stanton says that when he arrived, the boy was not breathing. Ambulance attendants arrived quickly and administered CPR, then rushed him to Pennock hospital. A spokesman for Pennock says the boy was revived, then taken to Bronson Hospital in Kalamazoo, where he is under close ob­ servation in the pediatric intensive care unit. Neighbors of Patten describe the boy as "smart, polite, and not loud". Chris is the son of Nancy Patton of Hastings, and Jerry Patten, of Florida. A nine-year-old Hastings youth accidentally hanged himself Wednesday near the playground at Southeastern School. The Hastings Banner Devoted to the Interests of Barry County Since 1856 Vol. 127, No. 27 Hastings Mayor Kenneth J. Howe is being accused of making a "grandstand" play in questioning the amount of water pipe the city has in inventory. In a boisterous City Council meeting, Monday, Howe asked the council why it had approved a pipe purchase of $85,722.15 at its last meeting, when current inventories were at more than $76,000. During recent hearings on the rates for the water and sewer system, council members and Michael Klovanich, director of public services, said that the city had a continuing program to replace 15 blocks of old mains with new mains each year. Monday, however. Howe disputed the 15 block figure He distributed copies of ledger sheets, which he said detailed information from Klovanich's files, showing a three phase improvement program; 15 blocks in the first phase using $59,111 in pipe, nine blocks in the second phase consuming $34,958 of pipe, and 2,664 feet of new mains and six fire hyrants on Cook Road in the third phase, using $35,127 in new pipe. "That’s your problem,” Councilman Gordon Fuhr (Third Ward), retorted. “You bring these things in here and make a big show and catch us off guard." "Why didn’t you take this to the sewer and water committee? Why are you grandstanding?" Councilman Patrick Vaughan (First Ward) asked. "You've been grandstanding since the first of the year,’’ Councilwoman Mary Lou Gray (Third Ward) said. Howe asked the council why it should buy $70,000 more pipe than needed to do 15 blocks and said he was not aware the city was going to install new mains on Cook Road. _______________________________ Price 204 Thursday, July 15,1982 Hastings, Michigan County Board receives Planning Commission priorities; departments get safety awards A list of nine priorities set for study and evalution for the coming year by the Barry County Planning Commission were presented to county commissioners at the board's Tuesday meeting. One of the priorities is to try to develop a noise control or outdoor gathering control ordinance that will be enforceable. The current ordinance is not specific and con­ sequently did not stand up in court when complaints were filed against a gathering by a motorcycle group, said Winifred Keller, director of the county planning, zoning, and building office, during a telephone interview Wednesday. The solution seems to hinge on being able to be specific enough in the ordinance to state what number could be considered a gathering and what groups would be ex­ cluded (like Boy Scouts, ete) while at the same time developing a definition of noise, explains Mrs. Keller. Determining what should be considered to be loud noise is a problem in itself, she said. “What is loud noise to one person may be considered to be music to another, she said. Regina Stein and Richard Wolf, members of the planning commission, have been named to study the the noise control-outdoor gathering issue. Recently, because of complaints of noise from loud outdoor gatherings, com­ missioners asked the planning commission to put more teeth in the ordinance. A zoning amendment that would specifically provide commercialized recreation zones for private business and possibly Charlton Park is another priority. Another area of evaluation and study is the possibility of having the planning com­ mission serve as the motivating vehicle for mobilizing private funds for commercial and industrial development and restoration of the Striker House. Other priorities include obtaining more information about a new Michigan State University program, "coitage home in­ dustry;" checking the possibility of planned unit development for industry, commercial, and housing: and preparing a map of the county showing urban, agricultural, non­ forested land, etc. in cooperation with the state Department of Natural Resources. A study of alternative lowcost housing is another priority. Currently the county zoning, which covers 11 townships, allows only for doublewides with pitched roofs as alternative housing. The commission wants to check into pre-fab homes, and other mobile homes. The commission also wants to participate in the Michigan resource inventory act 204 and adopted a resolution of intent which has been sent to Lansing. Funds to conduct a county inventory are suppose to be available in the future. Mrs. Keller said, and Barry's study would depend on getting funding. The inventory would be useful to the state and county by providing a detailed “picture" of the whole community — from locations of minerals to forests and from the number of duplexes to industries. Criteria for the study would be approved by the state's Inventory Advisory Committee. The state hopes that all counties will eventually participate and all the information will be fed into a computer. Securing grants and offering Neigh­ borhood Improvement (NIP) and Home Improvement (HIP) loans at low interest rates is also on the list. The First National Bank in Delton is handling those kinds of loans. Mrs. Keller said At Tuesday’s board meeting. Mrs. Keller also reported the resignation of David Koons, county building inspector-assistant zoning administrator. Koons, a law student, resigned to devote full-time to his studies. Mrs. Keller said she felt the bpard should have input in the selection ’ of Koons' replacement and asked for the personnel committee, comprised of commissioners Paul Kiel, James Gordon, and Richard Sunior— to become involved in the in­ terviews. Mrs. Keller reminded the committee that the person selected must be a licensed contractor. The full board must give its final approval before a replacement is hired. The resignation of Fred J. Boncher, from the county planning commission was ac­ cepted by the board. Boncher. an attorney with the Gr«md Rapids firm of Ward. Schenk, and Boncher. resigned to devote more time to other per sonal interests and responsibilities. Mrs. Keller indicated that '.he commision had found it quite helpful to have an attorney sitting on its board and hoped that someone with a legal background would replace Boncher. In another matter. Thomas Schulte, loss control consultant for Total Group Services Inc. of Grand Rapids which handles the county’s self-insurance program, presented safety control awards to eight Barry County agenies during Tuesday's meeting of the county board of commissioners Schulte said the awards were given because of the reduced number of claims in many county departments over the last two and one-half years. Receiving awards were the Barry County Department of Social Services, the county commission on aging. Charlton Park museum, animal control office, county clerk's office, sheriff's department, cour­ thouse custodians, and the county medical care facility. Shulte remarked that "a safe employee is in the attitude or state of mind that the employee has." Commissioner Edward Daniels, chairman of the board’s safety control committee, expressed thanks to the people in the departments. “By doing a good, safe job you are saving tax dollars." he said. The board authorized Sheriff David O. Wood to organize and execute an auction which will include confiscated goods from his department and police departments in Hastings, Nashville and Middleville. The auction will include such items as cars, bikes, boats, jewelry, sporting equipment, tools, typewriter, radios, cameras, and other miscellaneous items. Commissioners received correspondence from HUD in Detroit approving the county's request to use $8,383 of Nashville's grant funds for road improvement in that village. The board received a request from the county equalization office for the purchase of 74 aerial photos at a cost of $1,248. Com­ missioners said they would decide on the matter at the board's July 27 meeting. The board approved payment of $421 in livestock for dog damage to two calves and 57 chickens. The two calves belonged to Emmet Herrington of North Avenue in Assyria Township, a former county com­ missioner, and the chickens were the property of Timothy J. Smith of Fruin Rd. in Nashville. Commissioner James Gordon reported that a series of meetings and public hearings on the proposed solid waste plan for the county will begin in August. He is hopeful that the plan will be brought before com­ missioners by September 14. Novice drivers getting “best of minimal” training In his report to the Hastings school board Monday night, Ernie Strong, director of drivers education, said drivers ed students are getting "the best of a very minimal education." The report apprised the board of the success of the "comp out” program adopted by the high school this summer. Hastings joins approximately 133 school districts statewide that allow for com­ petency testing of students' driving skills in preparation for their driving certificate. This means that students may qualify for their certificate by passing a written test, thus circumventing as much as 30 hours of classroom time. To date. 45 students have been issued driving certificates, all with seeming reservations Strong, in his report, men­ tioned that all certificates were issued only if “the parent is seen and told of the minimum experience that Uie student has received, and told of their driving shortcomings and what they have not experienced." Comping out is basically a cost-saving device by school districts. But this is the first year that the method has been approved by Continued page 4 He also noted that upon the board’s ap­ proval, the solid waste plan must be ap­ proved by all the municipalities involved. Commissioner Richard Landon reported that the county’s animal control facility received a "perfect” rating when it was inspected by the state recently. The board approved payment of $259.50 to Jacobs and Sons of Battle Creek for moving furnishings of the county prosecutor's to its new headquarters in the remodeled district court building. The moving fee was based on a rate of $44 per hour. Howe, Klovanich continue debate Both Mayor Kenneth J. Howe and Michael Klovanich, director of public services, continued to maintain their positions on the pipe squabble, Wed­ nesday. Klovanich said that when the city was working with developers proposing a mall along Cook Road in 1979 and 1980, the City Council authorized the purchase of pipe for an extension of the water and sewer system to the site. (Mayor Howe was not a member of the council in 1979 and 1980). Klovanich said that the council, at that time, asked him if the pipe could be used someplace else if the mall was not built. "I said it could,” Klovanich said, "and I have a little bettei than a block of it left, now.” Klovanich contended that there continued to be prospects of a development at the mall site. "I knew there were prospects of a development out there, and so did His Honor (Mayor Howe),” Klovanich said. “So I decided to put the pipe back in inventory.” That decision was made before the Michigan Supreme Court announced late last month that Ute mall site would not be annexed into the city. The director of public services also Howe said that in the water hearings, he heard that the water and sewer system was going to have a $38,000 deficit without the proposed rate increase. “And here,” he said, “we’re spending $68,000 that we don't have to. We could save $43,000 by doing 24 blocks. I think we’ve overspent." Klovanich responded that he ordered pipe for 15 blocks, and that the council previously had approved the purchase for six to seven blocks on Cook Road. "The money was (previously) ap­ propriated and council authorized me to use that pipe,” Klovanich said. He added that he likes to keep two blocks of six, eight and 12 inch pipe on hand for any improvement petitions that might come in. “When all is said and done," Klovanich protested, “the inventory is lower than it's ever been. I don’t believe we can keep the inventory down to zero. You never know when (an improvement) petition will come in.” Gray told Howe that the city hires an engineer and pays him good money to figure the projects. “Are you an engineer?" she asked. David Jasperse (Fourth Ward) asked Howe for his recommendation on inventories said that there is a chance of another development coming into the city, but declined to give details. Reaching that project would also require some 12 inch pipe, the same size as purchased for Cook Road, he said. "We hid developers coming in,” Klovanich said, ’and we have to have pipe to get there. I haven’t done anything differently than I've done in the last 12 years. We usually know in advance of when (a development) breaks." Howe countered Klovanich’s remarks by saying he was "not unaware of the propsects of a development going in sometime out there (Cook Road)." Howe also said that he could find nothing in the official City Council minutes to indicate that pipe was authorized particularly for Cook Road. He also said the he was aware of another development project that would require six inch pipe, but none that would require 12 inch pipe. “Under the present economic conditions,” Howe said, “I would say that we are not justified in maintaining that inventory. (If a development came in) we would have plenty of time to get pipe." and if he knew what other cities carried. Howe said he didn't, but would find out. "Okay,” Jasperse continued. "You presented your information. You heard what Mike (Klovanich) had to say. Are you saying we shouldn’t carry the pipe on hand? Should we?" Klovanich pointed out that the im­ provement projects had nothing to do with the water rates, since no improvements could be made unless the system operated at a surplus. The bonding arrangement for the sewer and water system specifies that revenues shall first be used to operate the system and that improvements and ex­ tensions t>? made only after operations costs have been met. "You said to keep the operations of the water anc sewer in the black,” Klovanich told Howe. "This has nothing to do with the rates.” The council unanimously approved a motion by Jasperse to refer the figures to the sewer and water committee for a recommends ti on. Immediately after the vote, Howe said that he had a "little bit more grandstanding to do" and read a statement which said he will veto any notion or resolution with he feels the council has acted on in haste. Area break-ins believed related Three area break-ins of businesses are similar enough to lead Hastings police to suspect they are related. "We think we’ve got the same bunch working here” says Hastings Police Deputy Chief Gordon Trick of the three break-ins, all of which occured between Thursday night and Monuay morning. The first incident occured at the Avalon Bar on Briggs Rd., where State Police of the Hastings team were called Friday. Sgt. Richard Zimmerman says thieves stole a color television, 70 bottles of liquor, three cases of beer and about $175 in cash. The thieves also did $3,000 worth of damage io the juke box in their search for change, lays Zimmerman. State fiolice were called to the second break-in Sunday al the Curly Cone, Chief Noonday Rd. and Patterson. Thieves entered through a window during the night and stole tools, food and about $200. Car hits truck head-on; driver killed A Battle Creek man was killed instantly Friday when his car collided head-on with a truck on M-66 near Butler Rd. Dead is Kenneth Leon Williamson, 61, 59 S. Woodrow. Sheriffs say he was southbound when his car suddenly veered into the left lane and struck a large semi-trailer rig loaded with drill rods for an oil well. The driver of the truck, William Norman St. Charles, 21, of Mt. Pleasant, was treated for minor injuries at Pennock Hospital. The force of impact tore a wheel from the semi, forcing the vehicle into a ditch. The truck is owned by the Basin Trucking Co., and was enroute to its Mt. Pleasant base from a job in Barry County when the ac­ cident occured. Firetrucks from Nashville, Maple Grove and Castleton were on the scene, as were the Barry County Sheriff Department and Nash­ ville police. It was the second fatal mishap to occur in (Photos by Sus Robinson) Barry County in two weeks. A witness to the mishap told sheriffs the Williamson vehicle was 15 to 20 feet in front of the trick when it crossed the centerline. The exact cause of the accident is under investigation. The force of impact tore a wheel from the truck, owned by the Basin Trucking Company of Mt. Pleasant, and sent it into a ditch. Kenneth Leon Williamson of Battle Creek was killed Friday when his 77 Thunderbird colliaed head-on with truck on M-66. �The Hastings Banner, Thursday, July 15,1982 - Page 2 City approves ordinance for rental property inspections by Robert J. Johnston Rental property in Hastings will be registered and inspected for maintenance under a new ordinance approved by the City Council. Monday. With local landlords speaking both for and against the proposal, the council adopted the ordinance which requires all rental property owners to register their property within the next 90 days and to submit to an inspection. Each approved property will receive a certificate of compliance which is good for two years “The ordinance does not provide any new overwhelming burden on the landlord except to fill out a piece of paper," Larry Nix, the city s professional planner from the firm of Williams and Works, said. Nix said the ordnance will use the in­ spection list of the building maintenance code already adopted by the city. "These are basic sorts of maintenance,” he continued, “to provide clean and adequate housing within the city." Dr. Fred Hauser, 232 S. Jefferson St., urged passage of the proposal and cited problems with tenants in houses on the 100 block of East Center Street, near his home. "Some of the landlords do not keep (their property) in good repair...and do not supervise their tenants," he complained. He said that the Nock has been the site of fights with chains and fist fights. On the other side of the issue, Sandy Converse, of Kryton Properties, which rents a home on that block, said she hoped the new ordinance was not being enacted because of the type of tenants living in some of the houses. "What prompts this action?" she asked. "Is it the condition of the house or the social problems?" Converse said that the city could work closely with landlords to iron out problems, without the ordinance. Jerry Shearer, 238 S. Jefferson, took a different view on the same problem. He urged the council to "beef up" the ordinance before passing it. "Give the landlords a little more something to work with as far as the tenants go," he said. Edward Ruth, who owns property at 701 .ettersA to the Editor: To The Editor: As with most modern day rulings, and laws, a recent local rule regards running for elective office, while at the same time bolding a conflicting position is baffling to say the least. To this writer’s thinking, holding a policy making office, which controls a sizeable group of constituents, while running for public office to a unit of government which allocates monies to the board which can­ didate (Mrs. Hoare) holds position, IS a definite conflict Maybe no intent would ever be made to use one position to pervade on constituents, — but the possibility is present — and we must consider the future, — if the precedent is set there is no easy way to turn back. It would be a mistake to follow the ruling, when it could be troublesome in later days, or years. Aaron Jones 7852 Wall Lake Dr. Delton, MI. Grant St., complained that the ordinance didn't go far enough and should give lan­ dlords protection apainst tenants that abuse property after it is fixed up by landlords. "I don't get no help from the law," he said. Sally Moss, who owns rental property at 528 S. Jefferson St., questioned why the or­ dinance didn’t allow a certificate of com­ pliance to be transferred to a new owner when the property is sold. She asked why the certificate should be invalidated if it is good for two years. The council acted on her suggestion and changed the ordinace to allow certificates to be transferred. Moss and several other landlords also questioned the cost to the city of registering and inspecting the properties. Mayor Ken­ neth J. Howe replied that the officials knew they were going to need more help in the program for inspections without "shoving it down the throats” of landlords. In other action at Monday's meeting, the council delayed approval of a request by Charter Telecommunications for an easement to ran a cable television line through the city until more information is available. Charter Telecommunications has been granted a franchise for service in Hastings Township and is seeking the easement to offer service on all sides of the city. Wayne Wright, president of Triad Cable TV, questioned the routes through the city proposed by Charter Telecommunications, saying that if the firm wasn't planning to offer service in the city, it didn’t need to go through the heart of the city with its lines. Triad has a franchise cable service in the city. housing department, but had not yet ad­ dressed that question. "By and large,” Moss continued, "I'm quite pleased with (the ordinance). I’m proud of my property anc proud to show it to prospective tenants." Tony McLain of Kryton Properties, criticized the ordinance because it does not give the city any new authority except the registration rule. "All I see happening is quite a bureaucracy growing around inspection,” he said. “I don’t see where a mandatory bi­ annual inspection is really going to do anything." McLain noted that the council already has the authority to order the housing in­ spections. Nix, however, said that adopting the or­ dinance was a way the council could set up a Third person to resign Thieves tow away trailer in garage break-in July 12th •w Karmes to step down at Charlton Park by Greg Johnson Mary Ann Karmes, 33, administrative assistant at Charlton Park, has resigned her post, becoming the third person connected with the park to resign in the last month. Ms. Ka-mes joins former Director Frank Walsh and former Parks and Recreation Commission Chairman Kensinger Jones on the sidelines. Walsh resigned the only other administrative position at the park on June 16, and Jones resigned from the Park Commission on June 10. All three resigned after conflicts surfaced over a campground being proposed for the park. They have all said that they are not against a campground project, but they feel the commission should take a closer look at it before building. Ed McPharlin, acting chairman of the Parks and Recreation Commission said he would not comment “at this time" on the resignations. "Everytime I tell you people (Banner editors and reporters) something, it comes out in the paper different than the way I meant it," McPharlin said. Alice Boucher, a Parks Commission member, said the board will release a statement dealing with the resignations and replacements in the near future. Ms. Karmes said she is leaving for a combination of reasons and that the resignations of Jones and Walsh played a role in her decision. "We have worked together for a long time, and without them here, I find I don’t have the backing to administer my duties," she said. “In the last several months there certainly has been more day to day involvement by the To Tha Editor Recently I was reading a book which was set in the 1840s. The author asked an old timer why so many left Europe to set up new life in America. The answer was — "Every one of them was sick of the way kings and princes spent tax money right and left” — "We had neighbors that ate nothing but turnips all winter just so they could pay taxes." Also in reading history, we find the first taxes were for necessary items such as roads, schools, police and fire protection, health care, etc. Now we find people voting down increases for these necessary items because they just cannot afford to pay, even though they thoroughly realize all are extremely im­ portant. Many people are out of work, but at the same time our politicians raise their own salaries, and vote themselves exemptions from certain taxes as well as raise their own expense accounts and other perks. It seems our modern day leaders are about the same as those in the 1840s, they have so much money and live so high that they cannot possibly realize how the average person is required to live, In order to pay his taxes, educate his children, pay medical bills, insurance, etc. It only takes a short time in the Washington atmosphere before our good and true elected politician loses contact with reality. It would be wonderful if we could get our politicians in Washington and Lansing back to basics. We are desperately in need of good roads, good schools, good police and fire coverage, good hospitals and health care — many of which are being overlooked so that our leaders may finance their favored projects which many of us could never afford to use or enjoy. Dick Rose Hastings, Mich. Parks and Recreation Commission,” she added. “Policy makers set policy, and ad­ ministrators administer, but that hasn’t been the case." Ms. Karmes said that direct criticism of her and Frank played a role in her decision as well. "For years we worked here and developed things and then all of a sudden it was like we were doing a lousy job," she said. Ms. Karmes said that she thinks the right kind of campground might not be a bad idea for Charlton Park. “But from the people 1 have talked to and the things I have read, public campgrounds do not generate income. And that appears to be the reason the board wants a cam­ pground,” she said. Ms. Karmes said she is also concerned about the county getting involved with providing camping as a service. “If the private sector is able to handle the business of camping, then the public sector doesn’t need to join in,” she said. "The public sector is supposed to provide services that the private sector cannot provide on a cost effective basis." Ms. Karmes said she thinks funds are the major problem at the park. “Charlton Park has something that no one else has, an historical village, a museum and a good collection," she said. “Unfortunatly because of money that is the one thing suf­ fering.” “I’m concerned that the park will be used to just make money,” she said. "The Parks and Recreation Commission and the Board of Commissioners need to commit them- working on her masters at Western Michigan University. She said she is looking on her resignation as a positive move. "I have enjoyed working with all the people," Ms. Karmes said of her 10 years at the park. "I owe a lot to the many, many people who have lent time, money and support to us.” Ms. Karmes said she does not have another position lined up, but is "considering several things”. selves to come up with adequate means of support, but also preserve what is out here."

In other business the board decided to notify the Kent County Education Association that they wish to re-open the teachers contract, provided that the cost of living from June 1981. to June 1982, is below seven percent In addition the board voted unanimously to have the regular Board of Education meetings on the first Monday of each month at 7:30 p.m. in the high school library. Mary Ann Karmes Some facts every bicyclist should know and observe by Mark G. Steinfort — Hastings Chief of Police There are more than 67 million Americans that ride bicycles. Because of the economy,, many persons use bikes for transportation. Bicycles are used for recreation, entertainment, hobbies and physical fitness, too. Even in Hastings we see entire families riding their bicycles. Bicycling can be a lot of tui. but it also creates traffic problems. Many­ people, including adults, ride their bikes as if there were no traffic laws. They also appear as if they have the right to ride where they want, when they want, and in whichever manner they wish to drive their bicycle. The fact is, a bicycle driver must assume responsibilty to earn the right of the road. The saying “even if you’re right, don’t be dead right" especially pertains to bicycles. The bicyclist always loses when colliding with a motor vehicle. Even though you have a legal right to the road, always be ready to give cars the r ight of way. Some car drivers may be so busy watching out for other cars, they don't notice your bike. A tragic fact is that most fatalities and injuries occur to children between the ages of 5 and 14. A large proportion of bicycle-car accidents occur at some type of intersection. A Canadian study of bicycle accidents reveal that 82 percent of all bicycle-vehicle ac­ cidents were related to maneuvers by cyclists who were trying to enter, cross or turn into a flow of traffic. This study also showed that 57 percent of all the accidents occured within one block of the victim’s home. This figure includes the small child that is just out riding his or her bike in the neighborhood. If you are an adult, the responsibility of driving yoir bicycle properly is yours. If you have children, it is your responsibility to insure that they know and do the proper things. The schools and police department will help as much as we can. As police of­ ficers, we can write citations to all violators, but we would rather stop and warn or instruct. • Here is a list of things that all bicyclists should know and do: — Obey all laws that pertain to motor vehicles, this includes stop signs, yield r '^ns, and one way streets. — Slow down at all intersections. — Stay close to curb on right side of street. — Walk bike across busy streets. — Never hitch rides on motor vehicles. — Never ride double. — Always yield to people. — Ride single file when riding with other bicyclists. — Watch out for cars turning in front of you. — Watch out for parked cars opening doors. — Drive with both hands on the han­ dlebars. — Listen for traffic behind you. — Never weave, swerve or stunt drive in the street. — Do not carry packages in your hands. — Brakes should be good enough to skid tires. — Keep bike in good mechanical order. — Never ride bicycles on sidewalks of the downtown area of Hastings. If you ride your bike at night, you should have a headlight with visibility of 300 feet, and a red reflector on rear of bike that will reflect 500 feet by a car with its brights on. Bicycling can be a lot of fun, but only if we do it safely. The council denied a request from Athletic Amusements to use city softball fields for weekend tournaments in exchange for field maintenance. Mary Lou Gray (Third Ward), chairman of the parks and recreation committee, said the request was denied because the tournaments would be profit­ making ventures for Athletic Amusements. Approval was given to several requests by the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce for street closings and activities during the Summer-Fest on August 27 and 28. A change from previous years will be the closing of the south half of West S’ate from Church to Broadway on August 27 and the entire block on August 28. Michigan State Police are investigating the July 12 theftof a trailer worth $3,000 from a Hastings residence. Police say thieves broke into the garage of Larry Baum, S. Cook Road, and made off with a rust-colored, 22-foot tandem-axle trailer. State Police are also looking into the July 7 theft of a John Deere riding mower from the Michael Hammond residence, S. Bedford Rd. Also taken were tools and tool boxes, a welder and a cycle helmet. Total value of the missing goods is about $2,000. Two snowmobiles were reported stolen July 7 from a garage on Gun Lake. Richard Ramsey of Charlotte told sheriff deputies that someone stole them from a house he has for sale at 3092 Elmwood Beach. He believes the items were stolen between March 1 and April 15. Sheriff deputies say there was no sign of forced entry to the garage. Ronald Grit, 196 Barlow Lake Dr., Mid­ dleville, left fishing gear worth about $140 in his boat outside his house for just a couple hours. When he returned, they were gone. Sheriff deputies say whoever took the gear tried but failed to steal the electric motor off of Grit’s boat. Richard Root, 108 Little Long Lake Dr., Nashville, reported to sheriffs Sunday that someone had stolen a carburetor from his tractor. Root told police the tractor was parked in a field. The theft apparently took place at night. And Nathan Bolthouse, 514 E. Grand, reported to city police July 8 that someone stole a gas grill from his yard.

In his report. Strong explained the comp out process, and how it has gone so far with Hastings students. All students who were 16 prior lo the end of the calendar year 1982 were issued textbooks and the booklet “What Every Driver Must Know ”, along with a list of 30 areas to be studied to be able to pass the competency On June 14, a lest was given. Of the 141 students who took it, 56 ( 40 percent) passed. The test consisted of 150 questions; 80 per­ cent correct was needed to pass. The 56 who passed went on the driving phase of the program, involving two hours of behind the wheel instruction and a one-half hour road test. Thirty-four passed the driving phase, and are eligible for their certificates. Eleven have yet to complete the driving phase, and another 11 need further instruction, and may take another six hours. The oldest 30 who did not pass the written test, along with ten repeaters from last year, were given ten hours of classroom in­ struction, and then retested June 30. A tote! of 22 passed, then went on to the driving phase of the program. After determining the number of students who passed the 150-question competency test after ten hours of classroom instruction (18) and the number who drooped out (4), the next 22 oldest students were placed in the class. After ten hours of instruction, thirty­ students (eight oi them repeaters) were retested on Monday.. Thirteen passed, and will be given two hours of driving instruction After determining the number who passed and dropped, additional students will be called and added to the class list to make 30. Ten more hours of instruction will be given The report further stated "We don’t issue the certificate unless, in our opinion the student can operate a car safely enough to get additional experience with (his or her) • parent. We tell the parent what mistakes (the student) made and what to expect." In other action Monday night, the board approved new sociology and math tectbooics for the schools, and adopted the 1982-83 schedule of meetings. Barry-Eaton District Health Dept.

When asked to rate the quality of the public schools in their community, .'our out of every 10 Michigan adults nz percent) gave the schools an "A" or "B" on a report card rating scale. Another 33 percent rated the public schools a “C” while H percent eave schools a "D” or "E." The ratings were part of an extensive telephone public opinion survey with 802 randomly selected adults in the state con­ ducted by the staff of the State Boa'rd of Education’s “Project Outreach" program Michigan citizens rated the schools significantly higher than a nationwide sample of adults did in the 1981 Gallup Poll according to State Superintendent of Public Instruction Phillip E. Runkel. Citizens in this stele also gave fewer "failing grades" to schools than those found by Gallup pollsters Adults with children in public school rated the schools significantly higher than did their counterparts who have no public school children in their household. The typical Michigan citzen both oraised and criticized the public schools, but praise exceeded criticism, according to survey data. 3 Praise was directed toward the school curriculum, teachers, school facilities, and special programs or services. Dislikes mentioned focused chiefly on school discipline, some teachers, some curriculum weaknesses and school financial needs. The latter — school financial needs was named by respondents as the biggest problem facing their local school board last year. Public education is a state funding priority o Michigan citizens, according to the sur­ vey. Eight out of ten persons oppose reducing state allocations to public schools in favor of other state agencies. Only two other agencies — mental health and the State Police — received more support in the poll. Forty-seven percent of those polled feel the public schools have enough money to provide a good school program, while another 38 percent believe the schools have too much money. When asked to rate how the public schools spend the funds available to them, five percent said "excellent," 35 percent said • good," and 32 percent said “fair." One out cf every five adults (19 percent) gave schools a "poor rating" in school spending practices.

McCreary THE MOUNTAINS ARE MONUMENTSTOTHE LORD’S CREATION all the visible examples of the wonder of creation, the most awesome are the mountains; appearing in a wide variety of form and ele­ vation: the glacier-carved horns of the Alps, the stately grandeur of the Rockies, the jagged pinnacles of the Tetons, the saw-toothed es­ carpment of the Sierra Nevada, the towering Himalayas and the rolling, tree-covered folds of the Appalachians; among many others. They channel our life-giving water supply, modify our climate to provide the right conditions for every need, and offer many recreational op­ portunities. Mountains have played a vital role throughout history, and some of the most famous Biblical episodes were enacted on their slopes or summits. Whatever your creed, you need look no farther to appreciate God’s handi­ work than these breath-taking high points of the earth’s horizon. QUINCY, FLA. — Mary M.

Dated: June 30, 1982 Juliet Bourdo Secretary, Board of Education Sometimes a piece of antique furniture has been refinished to look like a more desirable wood, or new wood can be made to look old. To test for wood type, use a flat, sharp object to scrape a small portion of finish off the underside of the piece. Most furniture finishers do not stain and varnish the un­ derside. but there is usually a residual of finish or dirt coating, and this is the best way of getting to the real wood without defacing the piece. A little cooking oil, or just plain "spit", if you’re at an auction, rubbed into the scraped area, brings the wood grain out. A beautifully veneered piece is very likely to have a different wool underneath. A veneer is used to embellish an otherwise less desirable wood, or used in parts of a piece with difficult angles. Many old pieces however, are solid wood with the same type wood veneer. A good example is the old oak china cabinets or large oak bookcases. Many of these have ornate columns covered in oak veneer. Very often the veneer is in bad condition. If the main body is in solid con­ dition this shouldn't discourage the pur­ chaser. Old loose or damaged veneer can be repaired or replaced. Many fine antique furniture pieces are constructed of more than one kind of wood. As an example; the old pine kitchen chairs have mapel rungs. Rungs made of soft pine couldn't stand up under the constant weight of heavy feet over a ’ong period of time. Oak and chestnut are used together, and com­ pliment each other. Birch and maple can be substituted for each other. White ash is the wood used in professional baseball bats. It has a supple, elastic strength, is grey to creamy white, and has a long straight grain. It's also used for boats, oars, and tool handles. Brown ash has a longer grain and is used in splint baskets. Because it hold its shape after being bent under steam, it was used for curved slats in colonial chairs and long bent pieces in Wind­ sor chairs. Brown ash colors from medium to very dark brown. Because of its use in ceder chests, few people are unfamiliar with this wood. It is easily worked because of its soft, even texture, but is harder than pine. The natural red color makes cedar difficult to stain or disquise. Becauue of it's natural oiliness, the raw cedar should receive a first coat of shellac when being finished. This seals the oils in best. Early American cabinet-makers called Cherry wood, “American Mahogony”, and usually stained it to look like it. When finished, either naturally or stained, to bring out the grain, cherry is a beautiful wood. It is strong and has a fine, even texture. It takes stain beautifully and is ideal for car­ ving and turning. The best examples of cherry are found in Early American fur­ niture, when it was used in larger pieces such as tables, highboys, chairs, and can­ dlestands. Chestnut looks like, and has the open pores of oak. It was used in Victorial times to initate oak or walnut furniture. Today* it is recognized for its natural beauty which is reflected in picture frames, and paneling. It is tan in color, even grained, and easy to cut. Wormy chestnut is the result of a borer that works on the standing three A blight hit American chestnut in the early 1900’s, in­ creasing the rarity of the wood. Mahogony comes from the West Indies. It's a beautiful wood with a variety of rich graining. The large areas of graining is due to the tree size. They are often ten to twelve feet in diameter, and grow to 150 feet tall. It is a rich pinkish wood, and dark red when wet. Maple colors from white to cream and is one of the hardest woods used in furniture making. Because of its hardness, nailing may cause it to split, therefore screws should be used. It is very difficult to cut and work. Because of its strength, maple tables and cabinets have been made since early times. Light staining brings out the fancy fiqures in maple, such as birds-eye, curly, and blister. Oak is a yellowish, large grained hard wood. It came into its own in the early 1900's. Because of its very hard properties, the carving on oak furniture was machine made. Oak is one of the most sought after woods in antique furniture today. For variety in design, the oak grain was quarter-sawn and commands a higher price in oak furniture today. Walnut is similar to mahogony in its even easily carved texture. It has large grain and is rich in color. Walnut shades from light tan to cocoa brown tones in the same tree. This is a result of the conditions of moisture and soil in which the tree grew. Much Victorial furniture was made of walnut. Thanks so much to all of you who wrote appreciation of my column.

A “Bird Walk" was taken in May from the home of Marguerite Stauffer. The girls met at 6:30 a.m. and started out looking for "the early birds”.

Vacationland USA - at the Fair by Sue Robinson To many Barry County 4-H families, the Barry County fairgrounds becomes a second home during fair week. While the kids participate in 4-H related activities, the grown-ups assist the club leaders, prepare meals, help with cleaning jobs, watch the barns and dub booths, and visit with friends. The Jack Lenz family of Hastings has been camping at the fair for four years and say they enjoy the experience. "We camp for the fun and convenience,” says Judy Lenz, whose children Jill, John, Joel, and Jim are all Quimby 4-H Club members. “If you have animals at the fair, you've got to care for the livestock, and take turns watching the barns and cleaning the bathroom. “For many people, its their vacation. Sometimes whole dubs camp together, and at least one that I know of has a cook tent," she says. "Ils really a neat opportunity for people who have the same interests to be together. It is also a great time to meet people."she adds. What does she do when she isn’t busy working on 4-H activities? "I run my mouth," she laughs. “No, really, we all do a lot of visiting. There's always something for the people to do. We can watch the judging, see what’s going on at the grandstand, or go to the midway. She says she really enjoys the fellov'ship with other 4-H families and appreciates the opportunity it gives her family "to see people we don’t see the rest of the year.” “One thing we will really miss is the 4-H pool, which has dosed. In the past, the kids used to swim there during the fair, and they really enjoyed that,” she notes. Judy says that she really appredates the New Lottery offers “The Good Life” A new Michigan lottery game, “The Good Life”, began Tuesday, featuring a grand prize of $1,000 a week for life. An artistic design of the front gale of a mansion conceals six playing spots. If, after removing the protective coating, the prize amounts printed in the three separate spots match, the player wins that priz<*. The new game has approximately 25.1 million tickets printed for distribution ard with over $10 million in prizes. To qualify for the $1,000 a week for life Grand Prize, a $50 winner must file a claim no later than ten days after the announced end of the game. Tickets with winning prizes up to and in­ cluding $20 may be claimed at any lottery sales location. Prizes of $50 or $100 may be claimed at an official claim center, and $5,000 and $25,000 prizes need to be claimed at the Lottery Lansing headquarters or at any one of five regional offices. The number of the Kalamazoo (Portage) regional claim office is (616 ) 382-6670. Odds for winning ••The Good Life” Free ticket 1:6.02 $2 1:11.11 $5 1:66.69 $29 1:400.39 $50 1:2,393.60 $500 1:118,584.91 $5,000 1:234,953.27 $25,000 1:966,923.08 work of the fair board. "Hours of work go into planning the fair. It’s because of the board that our kids have had the opportunity to experience great times at the fair,” she concludes. Three of the Lenz children will have animals and projects at the fair. John, 17, will have two market steers. Joel, 13, will be showing a market steer for the first time, because, as he says, “I had a bum steer last year and it ran away.” Jim, 11, will also show a steer and has en­ tered some craft projects. The Lenz’s daughter, Jill, 19, is working in Lansing and will not participate. Maike Pannier, who stayed with the Lenzes last year as a German exchange student, is visiting again this summer and will join them at the fair. The Steven Briggs family of Dowling also plans to camp at the fair. "The whole family stays," says Nadine, whose children, Janine 14, and Matt, 12, will be showing animals during the week. "This is our third year of camping there. It’s become oif yearly vacation, really." She says’fair week is tiring, but that it also is a lol ol fun. “Generally, we get to see all of the exhibits, watch the livestock shows and attend the grandstand events; We play a lot of cards in the evenings with the other campers. We have an adult night, too, when we all go to the midway and try out the rides." she says. “Its an opportunity for the whole family to meet a lot of different people and exchange ideas,” she adds. “ It provides a great learning experience about animals and agriculture.” Nadine says they slay at the fair for the convience it offers. "Our club has a policy that if we have livestock at the fair all week, the family should stay, too. This is good because we often have to stay with the livestock all night long to keep an eye on them.” she says. Her camping preparations for the fair begin about Wednesday, she says and will continue through Sunday al the fairgrounds. “We have to get our trailer ready, ar.' the kids have to groom their animals and prepare their equipment.” She adds that one thing she doesn't like about the fair week is that the animals are there for a whole week with out being shown very much. She would like to see open horse show added to the activities. Her daughter Janine thinks fair week is pretty exciting. "Its really a lot of fun,” she says. “You get to meet nice guys, plus you can spend a lot of time having fun with your friends. I have a great time on the midway — if I don’t get sick first. “We all eat constantly...mostly elephant ears. You can spend most of your money in one day just pigging out on the food.” she says laughing. ‘ We usually have a dance, which is a lot of fun," she says. "By the end of the week, everybody in the family is ready to go back home except me.” She says that although the fair is a lot of fun, there are a lot of responsibilities. "We work with our horses for an hour every day before lunch, and we work in the barns for two or three hours a day, too." Janine says she plans to show her horse, Kim. She also has compiled a 4-H notebook about horses, and she made a ceramic horse to enter in non-liveslock competition. “My brother is going to show his goat, a fishing rod that he made, and some photography work that he did." she says. �The Hastings Banner, Thursday.

Outdoor Report; A phoebe is a biro that belongs to the flycatcher family, the DNR says. The bird is especially fond of bridges over small streams where it nests and brings off it's young in mid-July. The Phoebe is named because of it’s call, “Fee-bee". They can be seen seated on bridges, getting ready to fly out over the water and catch an insect. Each time the Phoebe returns to the perch, it repeats the call. Before bridges the Phoebe was fond of branches over the water, but man made structures are- the popular place now, the DNR says. There is a problem however, the DNR adds. Many bridges are being replaced with culverts.

June survey showed whistling quail counts were down about 50 percent from last year. Jeff Simpson, 30, an assistant for nine years in the Hastings High School football program, will be the new head coach and he says he owes it all to his "teachers". "I’ve coached under some great football minds here," he said. “Don Folmar and Bill Karpinski have given me the chance to be part of their staffs and they both ran super programs.’’ The appointment of Simpson was an­ nounced Monday, at the Hastings Board of Education meeting. Athletic Director Bill Karpinski recommended Simpson and Superintendent Richard Guenther made the appointment. Simpson, a teacher at Hastings High since 1973, will replace Folmar, one of 31 teachers recently laid off. Folmar, the head coach for the last two years, announced two weeks ago that he has accepted a head coaching position in Philipsburg Pa. Simpson has served at various levels and positions in the Hastings athletic program including head freshman football coach and nine years as the junior varsity baseball coach. As a junior varsity head baseball coach he led his teams to over 100 wins in the nine year span. He is a 1973 graduate of Michigan State University and holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Education. He teaches at the high school. Simpson graduated from Waverly High School in Lansing. He was an all-city baseball performer leading the city in strikeouts and earned run average during his senior season. He played baseball at MSU for four years, playing on the 1971 Big Ten Championship Spartan team that was ranked third in the nation,. He takes the reins of a Saxon football team that was 7-2 last year, a second place finisher in the Twin Valley. Simpson admits that he always figured he would be a baseball coach before ever taking a football job, but he welcomes the shot at a head varsity position. “Baseball was always my game, but after last year’s football season, I feel I have developed as a football coach," he said. Simpson, the defensive coordinator the Jackson school to fight for “pay for play” The East Jackson Public School system voted Monday, to fight Attorney General Frank J. Kelley’s ruling against mandatory pay for play, Hastings High Superintendent Richard Guenther reports. They are requesting the MASB (State School Board Association) supply funds from their legal trust fund. Recently the Attorney General filed two lawsuits to block pay for play programs being carried on by the East Jackson Schools and the Lapeer Community Schools. Lapeer is also remaining in the suit, Guenther said. The Hastings Area Schools and the Maple Valley Schools had adopted pay for play plans before Kelley issued a September 3, 1981 opinion that concluded boards of education have no statutory authority to require payment for participation in in­ terscholastic sport programs. Foilwing the opninion Hasitngs and Maple Valley dropped their pay for play plans. The East Jackson Public Schools and the Lapeer Community Schools require student athletes to pay a participation fee if they wish to take part in high school athletics. An opinion of the Attorney General has the force of l«»w unless stricken by a court. The September opinion was issued in response to a request by State Senator Gary Corbin, DClio. The two lawsuits filed by the Attorney General ask the Ingham County Circuit Court to issue injunctions to stop the school districts from collecting fees. The East Jackson system instituted its program on Feb. 9, 1982. The Lapeer program was adopted on March 18,1982 to be effective for the 1982-83 school year. HHS cheerleader tryouts to be held Tryouts for the 1982 Hastings High School junior varsity and varsity football cheerleading squads will be held July 26, 2830 and Aug. 2-3 in the high school cafeteria, it was announced this week. Girls in grades 9-12 are eligible and should report each day from 10-12 a.m. Shorts and tennis shoes are required. All candidates must have physicals by July 28. Free physicals will be given July 27, at 7 p.m. in the high school girl’s locker room. Seperate tryouts will be held for the basketball season. HHS girls urged to sign-up for tennis Any freshman girls or other Hastings High School girls that have not been out for tennis and are planning to, are urged to sign up at the High School office or call Coach Tom Freridge at 945-4205. Prospective tennis players are reminded to get physicals by Aug. 3. past two seasons, said the Saxons will look familiar on the field this season. “I think we have a fine tradition here, and I don’t plan to change anything," he said. “I’ve seen high school football at it’s best and I would be foolish to go against what I have learnec." The Saxons will use the same defense and offensive alignments that the fans have seen under Karpinski and Folmar. Simpson is optimistic about the team he is taking over. "We have a good group of players back that saw a lot of playing time," he said. "About 46 guys have signed up to come out and that is a good number for a school our size." Simpson, who admits he is an emotional coach that tends to yell, said he thinks he will be more reserved as a head coach. “As an assitant a lot of your job is to get the players fired up," he said. “As the head coach you have to keep your head, and stay in the game. It is a different role." He said he hated to see Folmar leave. "I thought we were a good team," he said of the man he shared a ride to work with, and coached with for seven years. "He was the quiet type and I was a yeller. We were a good contrast." Simpson said filling out his staff is something that will be done at a later time. “My assistant will be someone who fits into my philosophy of coaching, which I've developed through the guys 1 coached un­ der,” he said. Simpson said he puts major emphasis on the mental part of the game. “First you have to keep it simple so that your not always learning, but spending more time practicing what you know," he said. “And finally, you have to convince the players they tan do it if they want it.” Simpson said he thinks he has learned to do that from his mentors. "I’ve absorbed a lot of football knowledge as well as a lot of knowledge about kids,” he said. “I’ve taught with Jock Clarey.Ca retired Saxon coach) who taught me a lot about life, and I've coached with not just good coaches, but gentlemen."

About 300 Consumer Power customers in the area were without power from about 4 p.m. to 1 a.m. Thursday as a result of the storm, said Bill Mabin, the utility company's public affairs supervisor.

There were so many roads blocked with fallen trees that Sager said the fire trucks were unable to get to a mobile home fire on Guern­ sey Lake Rd. "Luckily the fire was small and they were able to control it,” he said. Even the main road from Delton to Prairieville was blocked. The blocked roads “isolated emergency equipment for awhile," even though the vehicles are equipped with saws, he said. Although Sager wasn't on duty at the time, he said efforts to remove the trees and cut them out of the way was a very time consuming process.

Before all of this happens, however, the highlights of this year’s fair are yet to come. Pay day comes for 4-H and FFA members Friday afternoon at 2 p.m. during the livestock sale. All of the work that began the day the animals were purchased is rewarded at the auction. The auction is also beneficial to the buyers. They have a chance to buy quality meat, and gain publicity, too. The buyer will have his picture taken by a local newspaper photographer, so his picture may appear in a newspaper. All buyers’ names will be published in the newspaper. Country music star Razzy Bailey will bring his country show to the grandstands on Friday, with shows at 7 and 9 p.m. Admission for all seats will be $6, and seats will not be reserved.

Former court employee is charged with embezzlement A former district court employee was bound over to Eaton County Circuit Court in Charlotte Thursday, July 15, in connection with funds missing from Barry District Court accounts. Delberta Arnsman, 27, of Hastings, waived examination on a charge of embezzlement by a public official over $50. According to Judy Hughes, Barry County prosecutor, the charge resulted after an audit of bookkeeping records revealed a massive shortage in district court accounts. Hastings Devoted to the Interests of Barry County Since 1856 Vol. 127, No. 28 Hastings, Michigan Price 20c Thursday, July 22,1982 State house candidates air views at forum by Robert J. Johnston Eight of the 11 candidates running for the 88th District seat in the state House of Representatives aired their views for Hastings business people at a forum held Tuesday at the Hastings Elks Temple. The forum was sponsored by the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce. Republican candidates attending were Robert Bender of Hastings, David C. Bennett of Portland, Jerry Bullard of Ionia, Michael Fracker of Ionia, Sam McKeown of Hastings, Ronald Reisterer of Nashville and Craig Starkweather of Ionia. The sole Democratic candidate speaking was Robert Edwards of Hastings. Each candidate first reviewed his background and gave a brief opening statement. Bender listed his background as primarily agricultural, with local and county govern­ U.S. Senate candidate William Ballenger joins candidates for the 88th District state house seat at the Chamber forum.

Bender said many candidates convey the impression that they will “ride into Lansing on a white horse and single handedly turn the thing around. “It's not going .to happen,” he said. Bennett noted that he had grown up in Bellevue and lived in Portland for the last five years, where he is a member of the school board. “I work in Lansing against the legislature," he continued. He said he is not afraid to take a stand on issues, such as when the Portland schools asked for a millage increase. He said he is opposed to tax increases, but sees education as most important and money should be transferred away from other areas to sup­ port it. Bullard said he had spent 21 years in the Marines and Air Force and 13 years in night school to obtain a college education. He is now working on his doctorate at Michigan Stat • University. Concerned with the business and economic climate, Bullard, a self-employed rehabilitation counsellor for the physically handicapped, said the person elected to the 88th District must say no to special interest groups. Fracker, a teacher at the Michigan Reformatory in Ionia, said he was one course away from receiving a master's degree at Central Michigan University. He said people are losing their right to selfgovernment and self-respect. "We must not move away from the family unit, moral tenets and religious beliefs," he said. "We must bring government back to the people wherever possible at the local level.” McKeown gave the briefest introduction of himself, saying he is a Republican, Mason and a capitalist. "I don’t think it’s any big sin to try and make a buck," he said. Reisterer, a teacher in Comstock, said he had spent the past 15 months campaigning m the district espousing the philosphy of lower taxes through less goveinment. "Our forefathers warned.” he said “that the power to tax is the power n destroy. ” He said that the greatest inducement to productivity is to simply allow people to keep the fruits of their labors and tax cuts are essential to stimulate the economic growth that will provide jobs. He said that it is time for the federal balanced budget ammendment. Starkweather, who is in the advertising business in Ionia, said his political background has been at the grassroots level and he hopes to make the state legislature more responsive to the grassroots. Characterizing himself as a moderate­ conservative he said his proposals are proposals which are achiexable in the current mood of the stale and mood of the electorate. Edwards detailed his background as a former township supervisor in Jackson Continued on page 5 Razzy is known in the area for his per­ formances at Sandyland Park, near Nash­ ville, in 1980, and at the Battle Creek Kellogg Center with Jerry Reed in February. He has written several hit songs, including “She Left Love All Over Me”, “Loving Up a Storm", "I Keep Coming Back” and “I Can’t Get Enough”. Some of his other hits are “If Love Had a Face", “Tonight She's Going to Love Me", “What Time Do You Have to be Back in Heaven", “True Life Country Music”, “Too Old to Play Cowboy" and “I Ain’t Got No Business Doing Business". The Royal Hanneford Circus will bring its three-ring circus into the show tent on Saturday, with shows at 2 and 8 p.m. The circus will feature tigers, aerial acts, miniature horses, tigers and clowns. Tickets will go on sale Saturday for $3 each. Ad­ mission for children five and under will be free. There will also be tractor pulls at 7 p.m. on Thursday. Admission for the tractor pull will be $6. Children five and under will be ad­ mitted free. Arnsman was released on a $10,000 per­ sonal recognizance bond. An audit was ordered in early June into District Court accounts by District Court Judge Gary Holman. He said then that cash available for deposit had apparently been taken over a period of several months, and that he first noticed the shortage in May. Investigators indicated to the Banner in June that the amount missing was about $17,000, but that an audit was needed to determine exactly how much was missing from the court’s account. Fire destroys grain mill at Clarksville elevator A destroyed the main mill at Carpenter Elevator in Clarksville, Saturday morning. Tlie fi.e,**i.kJi did an <.timalcd $425,000 damage, is being investigated by the state fire marshall for a possible cause, including arson. Mark Carpenter of Lake Odessa, a vicepresident of the elevator company, said that the main mill at the site was a total loss, but the grain bin, the dryer and offices are still standing. “The elevator is still operating,” Car­ penter said. He said services will be con­ tinued through the firm’s Lowell plant and several other companies which will be manufacturing feeds. The fire was reported at 3 a.m. by a passing motorist. Richard Staler, assistant fire chief at Clarksville, said therewere no injuries in the blaze. Carpenter said that several construction companies are ready to go to work on rebuilding the mill as soon as they are told to start. Company officials were meeting with insurance representat' es on Thursday. Firemen from Clarksville, Alto, Freeport, Saranac and Lake Odessa responded to the fire. The Carpenter family purchased the elevator two years ago. In addition to the Lowell elevator, they also operate a warehouse in Sandusky. New med firm board meets here; production is said to follow by Ken Reibel After a Monday meeting of its board of directors, Medi-Dyne Inc. made it official, calling Hastings its new home. In addition, the company plans to start a small manufacturing capability here, possibly within two months. The three-yearold, Illinois-based Medi-Dyne has been solely engaged in research and development. The announcement was made by Bruce T. Shattuck, company president, and Dr. Alon P. Winnie, chairman of the board. Shattuck moved his family here June 26, and is now conducting sales out of his home. That operation will shift to the company’s new physical plant, the location of which is pending final preparation. Shattuck says his company first learned of Hastings through Bernie Kuzava, an anesthetist at Pennock Hospital. "Kuzava told Medi-Dyne that there was a number civic-minded professional people who would be willing to invest in the com­ pany, but only if the company was willing to come to Hastings,” says Shattuck. “They weren’t looking for an investment opportunity per se," says Shattuck, “but instead wanted to pay back the community that had been so good to them...by bringing a company to Hastings.” "Kuzava felt that Hastings was a com­ munity that really needs a good shot in tne arm,” says Shattuck. "Of course, he recognized that it would take some time for us to grow to a point where we would even begin to make any kind of impact on the community. However, (Kuzava) felt that initially it would have a good psychological effect, it might give the community's spirits a lift.” The Medi-Dyne board, says Shattuck, did a study of the region before coming here, and "were very much impressed.” Shattuck says Hastings’ closeness to the major medical markets such as Chicago and Detroit makes the area conducive to MediDyne’s operations. "They are good markets that we can reach and deliver to within a matter of hours.” “We want to consolidate everything in Hastings and make company headquarters here,” says Shattuck. He says he plans to meet with a medical manufacturing firm from New York soon, and report to them about Hastings. The board of directors of Medi-Dyne Corp, are (clockwise from left) Dr. Larry Blair; Dr. J. Gilbert DenHortog; Bruce Shattuck, company president; Dr. Ted Hariman, secretary-treasurer and Dr. Alon P. Winnie, board chairman. "If we can get two companies going here, then we can three or four." says Shattuck. In addition to Shattuck and Winnie, members of the Medi-Dyne Board of Directors are Dr. Ted Hartman from Lub­ bock Texas. Dr. J. Gilbert DenHartog of Hastings and Dr. Larry Biair, also of Hastings. Dr. Winnie is the chairman of the depart­ ment of anesthesia at the University of Illinois Medical Center in Chicago, and past president of the Society of Regional Anesthesia in America. Dr. Hartman was appointed the board's secretary-treasurer al Monday's meeting. He is chairman of the orthopedic surgery department and interim dean at Texas Tech Med School in Lubbock. Dr DenHartog is a general surgeon. Dr. Blair is an anesthesiologist. �The Hastings Banner. Thursday. July 22. 1982 - Page 2 Police and Court Beat.

Justice is an expensive proposition, especially for an individual just convicted of a crime. Restitution to the victim, fines and court Costs can all add up to a thousand dollars or mere. To a jobless, indigent lawbreaker, this can be as disconcerting as time in jail For the past year, Barry County has maintained a program by which the courts can recoup costs from jobless, indigent lawbreakers through community service projects. By most accounts, it seems to be going well. John Reed of the Barry County Probation and Parole Department says the concept of community service arose from an Oakland County program as an alternative to In­ carceration, and in lieu of fines and costs. "It adds an extra dimension to the judge’s sentencing alternative, and eases jail overcrowding,” says Reed. Reed, who manages the program for the court, emphasizes that it is always preferable to have the convicted person pay off the money owed to the court rather than to place them in community service. ‘It is merely a program to aid indig-nt criminals" says Reed. Reed is careful to point out too that coftitnunity service does not meet restitution costs to the victim of the crime. What it does cover are court costs, which generally run between $350 to $500. The amount of hours assessed against the lawbreaker is decided by dividing the hourly rate of $3.35 into the total court cost. The overall goal when handling a con­ victed criminal, says Reed, is to get that indr-idual a job. However, probation of­ ficials recognize the tight job market, and that getting work for a convicted felon is rarely practical. Barry County Prosecutor Judy Hughes says that, in appropriate circumstances, it is preferable that a convicted criminal does community service in lieu of a jail sentence, especially “for a first-time convicte felon with a good chance of succeeding on probation.” Hughes does not, however, see the program as an effective means of relieving overcrowded jails in Barry County. "Our judges are already judicious in assuring that those defendants who are given jail time are deserving of that incarceration.” What the lawbreakers get is a job Whert no money changes hands. Workers are always assigned to a non-profit institution or program. In Barry County, that includes the Ex-mayor is resting comfortably following July 11 heart attack schools government social programs, and Riverside cemetery'. ‘‘We’re not making life easier for criminals,” says Reed. “Many are finding * ff wor^- H’s a debt they're working Reed says that summer is more conducive to the community service program than winter. During these months, the jawbreakers often find themselves clearing brush and mowing. In the past, some have worked to put new roofing on schools. There is work in the winter, says Reed, but generally the number of those assigned to the program is about half what it is in the summer. Last winter, some workers in­ sulated homes of elderly citizens under the auspices of CETA. Others worked as janitor assistants in the schools. Reed says some school officials have expressed concern over having convicts in the schools. However, Reed says the workers are under close supervision and always separated from students, as well as from cohorts of the convicted. To date, says Reed, there has been no problem with assigning work in the schools. ’There have been no thefts, no in­ juries...They’ve done really good work.” One problem the program does have, though, is absenteeism, and workers quitting before the day is up. This situation is par­ ticularly evident at Riverside Cemetery where workers face long hours doing hard’ physical labor. "Generally, the people they send me are good workers,” says Loretta Smith, who supervises many of the workers at River- side. Her husband, David Smith, is cemetery caretaker and secretary. “I have no com­ plaints Sometimes they go home early, but that doesn’t bother us. We appreciate whatever help we can get." As Mrs Smith spoke with the Banner, an official of the probation department walked up and inquired about two of his workers. Smith told him that one had never showed up, and the other had quit early for the past two days, telling Smith that he had some part time work to perform. The official sh'jok his head, obviously displeased, and left. Steve Werden, a probation officer for the county, says that the lawbreakers do not necessarily lose their status as community service workers if they fail to show up for work, or quit early, but he adds “If they goof up too much, we may cancel the work program on them." Also, a probation violation can follow failure to pay off the court debt. Russ Leiffers, county probation officer, says there must be "willful and wanton neglect of payment” to constitute such a violation Werden says that the workers “get some definite hours set up”, and that it is “not too frequent that they fail to complete the assigned project.” Despite some problems, though, the program has succeeded in many ways. The •Smiths have written four letters of recom­ mendation for their cemetery workers. "I proud of all of them," says Mrs. Smith, ‘ they took their orders, and you can rest assured the job was done.’’ The human story is best expressed, though, in the words of the program workers themselves. Though habitual offenders find themselves in trouble with the law time and time again, there are those individuals who seize on the chance to work, and stay straight. Ron Johnson is one individual working off his debt to the court at Riverside. During the day, he sands, repairs and paints a battered cemetery vehicle. He says that with a family to support, he was unable to pay $200 in court costs lor an impaired driving conviction. His sixty hours of court ordered work will soon be up, and Johnson will be sad to go. “I won't know what to do with myself once I leave," he says.

Hammond, a Hastings farmer, says he likes the horse and tractor pulls the most, and that he would like to see motorcycle races and jumps Terry Bachman of Hickory Corners says "The free fair would make it more con­ venient for the people because you have more monev to spend at the fair. The fair is, in my opinion, for kids.” Bachman, who enjoys the 4-H exhibits the most, says "the fair could be a little bit bigger, but everything could be a little bigger". He adds that he likes the layout of the fair, and the way it's run. Nancy Westphal "When I was a kid, we always went to the Ionia Fair because it was free, and we never came to the Hastings Fair,” says Stacy Morton of Hastings. Morton says her favorite attraction is the tractor pull. Does she have any suggestions to make the fair better? "Hmmm...no, not really" she says. As a 4-H member, Paula Steinbrecher of Nashville gets into the Free Fair free anyway, but says her friends come more often because it’s free." Steinbrecher, who says she likes to meet new people at the fair, would like to see a 4-H dance at the fair this year. “They say we can't have a 4-H dance this year, and those dances are really fun and I think we should have one.” “I come here to see the animals,” says Diane Hawley of Hastings. Hawley likes a free fair; she says she spends much of the day coming and going as she pleases. She says she basically likes the fair as it is, but "it could use more entertainment, some bigger names in country music." Jerry Courtney "I definitely think that being a free fair increases the attendance," says Nancy Westfall of Lake Odessa. She likes the horse races best, and thinks that the fair’s organizers do a good job. Jerry Courtney, director of the Barry County Fair, says attendance is good at this year’s event. “Last year we had 50,000 people on the fairgrounds. I would say this year it’s up at ’east ten percent the first few days. Today is Wednesday, and it’s kid’s day, and we're racing 90 head of horses, and we’re starting to run out of parking spaces.” Courtney said the biggest attractions of the week promise to be the demolition derby and the tractor pulls. “Last night we tried a local band, and we had real good response to it, so we’ll probably try it again next year.” Courtney adds that fair organizers welcome any suggestions from the public, but that they haven’t received any. He further adds “There have been very few complaints, and most people are happy that it’s free.” �The Hastings Banner.

' » An exhibit in observance of the 100th anniversary of Peace United Methodist Church in Barryville, near Nashville, is on display this week at the Barry County Free Fair. (Banner photo) After the last ride is packed away, and the smell of pop corn and livestock has cleared the air, work will start on inspecting ap­ proximately 3,000 feet of drain behind the fairgrounds. The contract for the work has been awarded to Jack Tomlin & Sons Excavating from Delton, according to Audrey Burdick, Barry County Drain Commissioner. Burdick says there is no.jvay of knowing the final cost of the inspection project, which was prompted by citizens’ petitions, as the contract for the work was awarded on a per hour basis. The petition, signed by about 20 people whose homes border the drainage district, calls for “the cleaning out, relocating* widening, deepening, straightening, tiling, extending or relocating along a highway for a county drain known as the Hastings City Drain.’’ The decision to inspect the drain came after an on-sight inspection by the Board of Determination, and a public hearing where board members heard from concerned citizens living near the drain.

A spokesman for Michigan Bell acknowledged the same problem, but did not say that Bell had a policy against posting signs on its poles. Campaign posters and garage sale signs hanging from telephone poles may not look it, but they are dangerous^ According to Dick Grandstaff, state director and operations manager for General Telephone, most people don’t realize that nails used to fasten the signs increase the chances of telephone installers being in­ jured. General Telephone installers use their spiked “climbers" strapped to their legs to climb the poles when installing or repairing phone equipment, explained Grandstaff. If a spike hits a nail, an installer is apt to lose his Candidates... CONTINUED from pagel footing. Grandstaff said that’s the reason General Telephone is asking people not to put signs on its poles, and if they must, then to remove the signs along with the fasteners. The problem is magnified during political campaign years, and during the garage sale seasons of spring and summer. General Telephone has a policy against the posting of any type of sign on Its poles. Grandstaff further noted that many Michigan cities have ordinances prohibiting such postings. No such ordinance exists. William Ballenger pauses to refresh his tired feet Hiking U.S. Senate hopeful visits fair by Ken Reibel William Ballenger, Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, took time out from his 1,000mile cimpaign walk Tuesday to visit the Barry County Free Fair. The 41-year-old Flint native resigned his job as state director of the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulation last year to devote his time to campaigning. His record of public service goes back to 1969-70, when he served a term as state represen­ tative, followed by a stint as a state senator from 1971-74. Ballenger then joined HEW in 1975 to serve as assistant secretary to Casper Weinberger for special projects, and HEW’s deputy assistant secretary for congressional liaison during .he Ford administration. Ballenger, who graduated magna cum laude from Princeton in 1962, and holds a masters degree in public administration from Harvard, is banking on his experience in both state and federal government to get him elected to the U.S. Senate. “Wherever I've served in government. I’ve gotten things done,” says Ballenger. Candidate Ballenger strongly supports the President’s economic recovery program. “I think it’s too early to tell (if Reaganomics is working), and I think the American people are willing to wait a bit longer to see if the President s economic recovery program will work. I think everybody realizes the recession we’re in now was not caused by Ronald Reagan; it was caused by past Democratic congressional policies.” Ballenger, who faces Republican challengers Phil Ruppe, Deane Baker and Robert Huber in the August 9 primary, reserves his strongest language for Democratic incumbent Donald Riegle, whom he calls “a miserable failure as a senator.” Throughout his ten-month long campaign, Ballenger has called Riegle “a spectacularly ineffective member of congress.” County and an employee of the Michigan Townships Association. “I can represent you with experience,’’ he said. Campaign spending Each candidate was asked how much they intend to spend on their primary campaigns. Their replies were: Bender — spent about $2,500 and hopes to receive contributions tc spend about $5,000; Bennett — less than $5,000; Bullard — $10,000 in personal money and donations; Fracker — less than $2,000; McKeown — $5,000; Reisterer — $5,000 to $6,000; Starkweather — $6,500; Edwards — less than $2,000. Education On education. Bender said it has not received the priority it deserves in Lansing and has taken a bigger share of the cuts in the state budget than other areas. He sup­ ports a shift away from the property tax to fund education, but didn’t feel the shift should be totally to income tax. Bennett said he was not sure a portion of the income tax should be dedicated to education because revenues fluctuate. He said a certain number of dollars should be allotted for education and left there. “Teach students how to be thinkers,” be said, “and then train them (or the skills and vocations that are needed.” Bullard suggested that educational fun­ ding be shifted to a combination of property taxes and income taxes. Fracker called for a complete reevaluation of the educational system in Michigan, starting with the state board of education. “The bead of the state board of education wants to make larger school districts,” Fracker said. “He thinks would be a more fair way. At best, this might be a short term solution, but it would be taking away local control and I would fight that” Reisterer called for the formation of more charter school districts to give the local districts more autonomy to run the schools, which he said would sever the need for the “massive education bureacracy in Lansing. He also called for tying the state’s school aid tc the consumer price index. He said the legislature has backed away from its 1963 committement to funding education. “The money is there to educate our children," he said. "We need to set a priority to do it” Starkweather said that education needs enough money to operate quality programs. Saying that education is not the most critical issue in the state, he supports a shift to funding from income taxes. “We should endea /or to run the best K-12 (schools) in the nation," he said. “If it takes more money, I support that.” Edwards also said he supports a combined property tax and income tax funding plan. Part-time legislature On the issue of malting the legislature a part-time body, Bender said he could not support the proposal 100 percent. He said he had seen no firm figures on how much a parttime body would cost, compared to a fulltime body. “It would preclude a lot of people who could devote full-time,” Bender continued. “I see it as a potential danger. It would preclude a lot of quality people.” Bender added that another danger he saw was how problems of constituents with the state bureaucracy would be handled. The U.S. Senate hopeful Bill Ballenger says he is the f irst candidate to wage a walking campaign in Michigan. Here he holds his hiking boots in one hand, and points to Barry County with the other.

July 22, 1982 - Page 6 Nine African students visit the Barry County Free Fair Nine students from Senegal, West Africa visited the Barry County Free Fair Wed­ nesday, as part of a Michigan State University agricultural research program. The students (including one woman) Ousseynou Ndoye, Desire Yande Sarr, Cheikh M ba eke Ndione, Salla Dior Dieng, Chimere Diaw, Jean Berthi, Raymond Sarr, Ina Madina Diallo and Makhouna Mbaye, along with MSU professors Warren Vincent and Ralph Hepp, were given a tour of the fair grounds by Kathy Walters, Barry County 4-H youth agent, and 4-H members Tom Neal, Bindy Guernsey, Cathie Freeman, Jane Bryans and Taleese Yonkers. The visitors watched the dairy judging, toured the 4-H livestock bams and exhibit booths and sampled some of the customary fair cuisine. They could not believe the sizes of farm equipment used in the U.S., let alone the price tags on each piece of machinery. They said that although they have goats, cows, chickens, rabbits and horses in Senegal, they are amazed at the size of our livestock here. Their country gets very little rainfall, so there is barely enough grass or grain to feed the animals. The students are attending universities throughout the country to earn various degrees. They are in different fields of study, but they all hope to take back some of their knowledge about agriculture to help farmers in their own country. One student, Ousseynou Ndoye, says that none of them come from rural areas of Senegal. "We all come from the cities. People in the country do not have enough money to send their children to college.” he says. “Strangely enough," adds Prof. Hepp, "that means that most of the farmers' in­ formation about agriculture is coming from the cities.” The students toured some local businesses during this week's visit and also during a visit last week. The visits included stops at the Cooperative Extension Office and the Production Credit Association office. Fifteen of the students were not able to attend the fair because they had just com­ pleted the observance of Ramadan, a sacred Muslim fasting ritual. The students were celebrating the end of the fast, which is determined by phases of the moon. Candidates....

Phone 795-9863 less time the legislators had to spend on these problems, he said, the more powerful the bureaucrats would become. Bennett said he didn’t think anybody would mind if the legislature met 365 days a year it if turned out a quality product. He is leaning away from the proposals for a part-time legislature, he said, but he said he is frightened by the latitude that bureaucrats have in their agencies. Bullard said he supports a part-time legislature and a limitation on the number of terms a legislator can serve. “A part-time legislature will get the job done,” he said, “because if they don’t they can be called in by the governor for a special session.” Fracker said he is not in support of a parttime legislature, because it would abdicate power to the federal government. He might, howeve-, be in support of a unicameral (single body) legislature and would support a limit on the number of terms of legislators. McKeown said he would support a parttime legislature, but felt that voters would have to be careful that part-time legislators were not also working for special interest groups. “We can’t sell our vole out,” he said. Reisterer said he supported both a parttime legislature and a limit to the number of terms. The more time we give the legislature in session, he said, the more time they have to justify their existence. The only way to control the bureaucracy, he added, is to control its purse-strings. Starkweather said that states with a parttime legislature are in a lot better shape than Michigan and that he is “four-square" behind a part-time legislature. Edwards said some of the the problems with the full-time legislature could be solved if they would re-establish the dates when they are supposed to complete certain projects, such as the budget and ap­ propriations. “Anybody in political life,” he said, “who doesn’t want to take it on the chin will procrastinate." Business climate On the issue of why businesses should come to Michigan, Bender said that they should because the state has a lot of poten­ tial. Bennett said there are not a lot of reasons why businesses should locate here now, but there isn’t anything wrong with the state that can’t be corrected. Bullard said businesses are not coming to Michigan because of too much government and too much regulation. Fracker said that Michigan has always been an industry-oriented state and a job oriented state, but that the state thought it could make more money by instituting the single business tax and other programs. “Send Sam to Lansing so that government can run its business instead of trying to run ours," McKeown said, quoting off one of his campaign cards. Reisterer said businesses will come into Michigan as soon as the state realizes that real wealth does not emanate from govern­ ment. He said the state has a trained work force, a good transportation system, water resources and a strategic location. Starkweather said that under the current laws, workman’s compensation, unem­ ployment compensation and single business tax, “there is no way anybody's going to move to Michigan.” Edwards said he is glad the current economic crisis has hit Michigan because it was the only way the state can get the needed changes done. "The legislature is settling down and looking at the state to correct those errors,” he said. “The legislature will change those things needed to diversify Michigan.” These minature horses, shown by Anita Zoppe, will be part of the action under the big top when the Royal Hanneford Circus comes to Hastings Saturday during the Barry County Free Fair.

Still lots of time left to enjoy the fun at the Barry County FREE Fair...now through Saturday, in Hastings! For advertising messages that STAND OUT”, call the advertising representative from the HASTINGS BANNER at 948-8051 In early times, people made paint with whatever materials that were handy. There was usually cow and goat milk in abundance and at slaughtering time, they used blood from the cattle and hogs, mixed it with milk, hence, milk paint. For variation in color, oft times the juice from tobacco, beets, red and blue berries, black soot, and earth toned clay was used. These are the same materials used by the Indirns in their body decorations and “war paint". This old milk paint is often found on antique furniture today and is very difficult to remove when refinishing. Because it was a much thinner mixture than the paint of today, it seeped deep down into the pores of the wood. Actually, when the old milk paint was usee, it was never meant to be removed, but was an art in itself. Many old pine and poplar tables and chairs painted with milk paint were not the best quality and cut of wood. When this paint is removed, often large areas on the wood have blackened and little wood grain is visible. These pieces are often displayed in antique shops with the old original paint. They have much character and show marks of our early heritage. The very old, desirable Windsor chairs, made in the 1880s, are painted and may be found io have three or more coats of paint under the top layer. These are very valuable .pieces and rarely founa. Current book price of a Windsor “fan back" side chair with seven to nine spindles in the back rest and old original black paint is from $900 to $1,500 each! Sc you see, even (hough we love the beautifully refinished wood in antique pieces, some are not meant to be changed. An old dated 1816 blanket chest, about the same size as our more modern cedar chest, made of pine with original Hue paint and hand decorated in old red and yellow paint, now sells for $4,500. The old primitive pine pieces were always painted. If an antique is kept in its original painted finish, providing it is in very good condition as a whole, it is more valuable. Around the 1930s, it seems everyone got the “paint craze" and painted almost everything in sight. Included was the beautiful natural oak woodwork, stairs, every piece of walnut, oak, cherry or other natural wood pieces in their homes. Today, the trend is toward the natural woods again. The age of an antique piece of furniture can be told by the type finish used. Before 1850, shellac was used. During the Victorian era, 1840-1900, heavy lacquer was used. Then came varnishes. To remove old shellac, use denatured alcohol (sold as shellac solvent). For gummier shellacs used in the Victorian period, add roughly one part lacquer thinner to four parts of the alcohol. No rinse necessary. To remove old lacquer, lacquer thinner will dissolve this quite easily. The job will go faster if you add one part denatured aicohol to every ’our parts lacquer thinner. No rinse necessary before staining or applying new finish. To remove old varnish, use water — rinse paint and varnish remover of the Strypeez j type. Some varnishes are quickly and cleanly removed with a mixture of half lacquer thinner and half wood alcohol. To remove old paint or milk paint, am­ monia works best. Wood may turn dark — if it does, use oxalic acid solution or strong laundry bleach. It will lighten quickly. Then just rinse with water. There aren’t any secret chemicals. It’s just knowing what to use and when. Chemical tank dipping to strip a piece, even thought it’s faster, takes the "life" out of the wood. It dries out the wood, makes it brittle, and even strips it of its natural coloring. A mineral oil or linseed oil rub is essential before staining. Hours of hard work is invested in hand finishing, but its all worthwhile when you see the beautiful wood and know you' e put a part of yourself into it. There are "beauty marks" found on an­ tique furniture pieces. It might be a minor dent in the softer woods, or worn areas from years of constant wear. Old pine tavern tables or block tables may have cuts and shallow gouges in the tops, as they had many uses othe- than what they were made for. These sho jld be allowed to remain. Highlight these "battle scars" and let them tell thenstory of age and heritage. Any true antique lover who can't accept them and love their beauty doesn’t deserve to have ‘hem. Of course, it’s a different story if there s torn or missing veneer, broken chair rungs, or other broken parts on the piece. These should be rpnidrwi replaced nr or ronoirori repaired. Dnrno Burns from cigarettes or irons should be removed as much as possible. These are not “beauty marks". They have no charm. Next week we explore the ups and downs of the antique dealer. How and where he buys and sells, etc. I’m happy my readers enjoy my column. I encourage your comments and questions. Write me in care of the Banner and I’ll personally acknowledge each letter.

Kathy Stowell and Kathy DuBois were co-hostesses. Those attending were Peggy France, Nancy Stowell, Sue Pepper, Carol Price, Mary Jo Wickam, Jo Anne Coats, Pat Potter, Billy Horwood, Sheila Veitch, Linda Wise, Julie Possehn and the sister of the honored mother, Amy Newman. Mrs. Newman, mother of the honoree, was on a vacation and was unable to attend, but she sent beautiful gifts to Andrew as well as to the new and the expected babies of the two hostesses.

Chairman (7-22) Democrats gather for night at the county fair Fire contract expected to be council topic Monday Negotiations are continuing between the city of Hastings and the Birch Rural Fire Department to try to develop an updated joint fire protection contract, and representatives from the townships involved are planning to attend Monday night’s city council meeting to discuss the matter. Birch, which includes Baltimore, Rutland, and Carlton townships and portions of Irving and Hastings townships, notified the city last September that it wanted an updated con­ tract and gave notification then of plans to terminate the present contract. Richard Thomas, supervisor of Hastings Township and President of BIRCH, said that the Birch committee has offered to pay 35 percent of the expenses of the fire depart­ ment but has not heard a response to its offer. The city and rural townships have split the cost of fire protection on a 50-50 basis since the 1930’s, said Mayor Kenneth J. Howe. Howe said he invited representatives of BIRCH to attend a council meeting to discuss the contract after receiving a letter from BIRCH requesting a closed-type of meeting to discuss the contract issue. Howe said the city’s attorney advised against bolding a closed meeting. Thomas said the only key issue remaining is to iron out the percentage of payment for the costs of fire protection between the city and BIRCH. Currently Birch has been paying 50 percent of the cost and Thomas said, "We’re really paying more than we should." He said the rate is too high because "we provide quite a lot of fire equipment, more than any other place we’ve studyed (in similar situations), and we pay a higher rate than the others do. Thomas said the contract BIRCH wants is patterned after one in Grand Ledge. Members of the BIRCH Committee have made an extensive study of fire protection plans in other cities, villages, and townships. "We could go independent, but I don’t want to, said Thomas. “I don’t want to see the fire department split...we’ve got a good department and a good chief." Howe agrees that it would be a mistake to dissolve the joint fire department."Should Birch split it would cost each of us about $100,000 more the first year...Neither one of us could afford that. “It would behoove the city and the town­ ships to work closely together and come to an agreement soon," said Howe. Outlying industries would see a dramatic effect by increased insurance rates should BIRCH and the city dissolve their agreement, he added. “I think insurance * rates for everyone would go up, especially that first year." Other Democratic candidates attending included (from left) John Whitman, cand­ idate for the 13th District state senate seat; Robert Edwards, candidate for the 88th District state house seat; Nina Wolpe, representing her husband, Third District Congressman Howard Wolpe; and State Sen.

(Benner photos) Caledonia recycling center off to a good start A recycling center in Caledonia has met with “very good response” according to Pat Syrek, an organizer and site checker for the project. Caledonians seem to have more newspapers to drop off at the center, located next to Caledonia Foods on M-37, than anything else, says Syrek. Store owner Dick Carrins provided space far the site on the north side of the parking lot, a fenced area, easily accessible, con­ taining a number of 55-gallon drums for the deposit of glass, tin, plastic milk jugs and newspapers. The site was set up by volunteers of Recycle in Barry County (RIBC) and residents of Caledonia, but will be operated by L.cycle Unlimited from Grand Rapids and volunteer site checkers. Recycle Unlimited in. a non-profit organization which operates 35 similar sites in Kent and Ottawa Counties. The group is funded by proceeds from sale of the materials recycled, and by the counties in which it operates. According to Bill Mulder, general manager of Recycle Unlimited, prices for the materials fluctuate, but are ap­ proximately $5 a ton for newspapers, $35 a ton for glass, and $40 a ton for tin. Syrek says site checkers are still needed to determine when the barrels are full, and call for pickups. They also police the area for any broken glass or other strewn materials. Syrek says that ordinarily the area is clean and there have been few problems associated with the project. If you are in­ terested in working as a checker, call Pat Syrek at 891-1053. 965.65 BW 6.83 AMMAl SHELTER Richard Engel T-7, 2 yr. T-3, 1 yr. Keith Vromon T-4,1 yr.

The secretary's minutes for the years 1972 through 1975 are not available at this time so the meetings and events during this period have been taken from year books of the club and newspaper accounts of the activities. In February, 1971, the year started with a meeting at the home of Mrs. Carl King. Mrs. Stowell announced at this time that for the next four weeks on Sunday from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. in the morning she would conduct meetings on “Our Environment”. These will be at the First Methodist Church in Hastings. A short biography of Dr. Sherif was read as a memorial tribute to this man who had given the club so many hours of his time and ad­ Roger Baker, Mrs. Herbert Quigley, Mrs. Harold Slocum, and Mrs. Chester Stowell as her staff. Landscaping of Charlton Park became the big project of the year with Daryl Stamm, curator at the park, assisting Joseph Cox of Michigan State University with plans. The club planned to spend some $200 at the time for the beautification of the park. The Future Farmers of America also donated their time and manpower to help with the plantings. The FFA also presented the Thornapple Garden Club a “Building Our American Communities” Award for 1974. Mrs. Agnes McPharlin accepted the award for the club and the chairmanship of the Charlton Park Landscaping project. Members donated both time and shrubs and flowers. A first place award for landscaping, given by Sears Roebuck, was presented to the club. Money from the award was put into the Charlton Park fund. An interesting luncheon was held at the Parish House in September. The ladies were each asked to bring a dish featuring their favorite vegetable or fruit that had been grown by them and a recipe for that dish. The luncheon was called “Bountiful Har­ vest”. The committee in charge with Grace Watson as chairmai. was Mildred Bauer, Mrs. Jongblood and Vai Bauchman. The Annual Greens Sale was held again at the American Legion Hall on Church St. with more and more Hastings residents making it a part of Christmas. Even people from as far as Grand Rapids, called and asked when the sale would be. A thought from the February meeting: “Faith will never die as long as there are Seed Catalogs. They are both beautiful and great for study for new and unusual plants." Mrs. Harold Hall (Gen) became president in 1975 with Mrs. Edward McPharlin as first vice president; Mrs. James Spindler as second vice president; Mrs. Elmer Robinson as treasurer; Mrs. Flossie Richards as recording secretary; and Mrs. Elwyn Hayward as corresponding secretary. Garden therapy at Provincial House and the Medical Care Facility were proving very helpful to the patients and most satisfying for the members who worked with these people. Landscaping continued at Charlton Park with help from the Boy Scouts and other youth groups in the country. A planting bee was held at the park with a sack lunch with Mrs. Plynn Matthews and Mrs. Lester Lord the bosses on the job. Garden tours were taken in August with Mrs. Clara Pufpaff and Gertrude Matthews as Hostesses with Mrs. Dalmn, Mrs. Ingram and Mrs. Evan Hula assisting. In October, Mrs. James Spindler led the group on a tour of the Nature Center in Kalamazoo. The Greens Sale was held as usual and made another big contribution to the club treasury. Plans were made to hold the Bicentennial District 2B meeting at Charlton Park. Members were not mentioned who have joined the Thornapple Garden in the past two or three years were Mrs. Claude Braidwood, Mrs. Larry Burd, Mrs. Emile Giraud, Mrs. Kenneth Granata, M-s. Allen Gribbin, Mrs. Ruth Kuhfal, Mrs. Fay Marble, Mrs. Flossie Richards, Mrs. Donald Springer, Mrs. Bernard Bedford and Mrs. Wayne Roush.

Sth _______ �The Hastings Banner, Thursday July 22, 1982 ■ Page 11 Demolition Derby draws local drivers and crowds Hastings Major starting to jell by Greg Johnson Hank Arens, 20, of Hastings invested a lot of time and $25 in a 1970 Cadillac. His brother Todd, 18, put his time and money into a 1969 Ford. Then on Monday they went out and smashed them up for fun. The Hastings High School graduates were two of several local drivers that competed in the “world's biggest traffic accident’’, the Demolition Derby, Monday, before a large crowd at the Barry County Free Fair. "Most of the drivers in the show come from a 50 mile radius, and many have been doing it ior years," Phil Slaggert, the son of the event promoter Al Slaggert, said before the event. "We go all over and there are always enough local people to put on a good show." Hank and Todd put on good shows, finishing second in their heats, qualifying and competing in the main event. "We just do it for fun," Hank said. "We like to work on cars." John Alles, a friend of the brothers, served as a pit crew member. He said he likes to work on cars too. “It takes a lot of work, but we enjoy doing it," Alles said. Tt is a challenge to keep the car running." Hank, Todd and John have devoted most of their spare time the last few weeks getting the cars ready for Monday’s event. This year’s derby was the second time around for Hank as a driver. Todd and John served on his pit crew last year, bui this year Todd decided to try his hand behind the wheel. "We just go out, get a car, and tinker with it to get it running,” Todd said. Hank said that iuck plays a role in doing Hastings Majors coach Bob Holley says his basebail team is starting to jell. The Majors have won five of their last six games, and the last four in-a-row in the Battle Creek City Major League, moving up in the standings, and offering stiff com­ petition to the league leaders. On Tuesday the Majors (6^) knocked off second place Del Seat by a 3-1 score. Mike Hause was the winning pitcher tossing a four hitter. He struck out four and walked two. The Majors scored two of their runs via an RBI single by Dann Howitt and a bases loaded walk in the sixth. In the seventh Kriichi Iwasaki doubled and Steve Hammond singled him home for the Major’s final run. "This is the kind of team I knew we had at the start of the year," Holley said. "The last two weeks they guvs have worked very hard and played excellent ball.” Holley said the starting pitchers have helped to turn the team around. Hause, Dave Reardon and John Rop have all looked good in recent outings, he said “The hitters have started to do the job too,” he added. "Everyone has contributed." The Majors have fashioned their four game winning streak by dropping Bole Oil on July 7 by a 3-1 count, rolling over the Rebels 16-1 on July 8, stopping One Hour Martinizing 4-2 on July 13 and lopping Del Seat Tuesday. Tonight (Thursday) they take on Bole Oil. Game time is 6 p.m. at Bailey Park in Battle Creek. well in the derby, but there is strategy in­ volved. "You go out there a take it easy instead of going crazy." he said. "You have to hit people, but you want to hit them with the back of the car and make sure you don't get trapped." "It helps to get lucky,” he added. "Lots of times little things will go wrong and the car will stall." Alles said that mechanical failure is often the cause for a car to quit and not so much the torn fenders and dents. "Something will fall off or come loose inside the engine and the car won’t start again, ’ he said. “Each time you run, you learn about something else that can cause a problem." Just a few weeks ago Hank ran at the Lake Odessa Fair, and they plan to take another $25 Cadillac to one of the other area fairs. “It doesn’t cost much and we have fun doing it,” Alles said. Along with the fun Monday, a controversy caused a late start to the show. The drivers and pit crew members were upset about a fence that kept them from seeing the show from the infield. ' They claimed they shouldn’t have to pay to watch their own cars and drivers. The Fair Boara maintained that everyone would watch from the infield if the fence was not up. And Al Slaggert just wanted to get the show started. The fence stayed, pit crew members backed trucks up and stood on them to peer over the fence, the cats came onto the track, and the fun started. Netters will work Action on the first turn wos fast and furious at the Barry County Free Fair Wednesday. An 11 ract ticket with $5,375 in purses was presented for race fans. Today (Thursday) more horses and drivers will roll around the first turn in the fair's second and final day of harness racing. (Banner photo) Fast first turn!

Outdoor Report; The mourning dove, a bird a little larger than a blue jay, is quite common in Michigan. In fact they are one of the top ten nesting species, the Department of Natural Resources reports. Often called the “bird of peace”, it get’s its mourning tag from the sad airy weeping sound of its call Numbering in the millions in Michigan, they often nest in the city around homes. They are one of the most commonly seen birds, the DNR says. Doves lay two eggs at a time. When the eggs hatch, they usually contain birds of the the same sex, two males or two females. They raise two and sometimes three broods each year. Another interesting fact about the mourning dove is their speed of flight. Some have been clocked travelling at 60 miles per hour. GENERAL OUTDOOR CONDITIONS: Hot, humid w eather, with temperatures over the weekend in the 90s and a storm early Saturday morning that didn’t want to quit. Rivers and streams are high and murkey but with no additional rain they should be back to normal in a week. INLAND LAKE FISHING: Very little to report on our inland lakes as the hot, humid weather and storms kept fishermen off the lakes and rivers. Walleye - Some success near the mouth of the Kalamazoo River was noted. Northern Pike - Taken trolling on Kalamazoo lake using tadpollies, rapalas and daredevils. Red and white, silver and blue best colors. Small Mouth Bass were taken near structures or pihngs on the Kalamazoo River while large mouth bass were hitting on the south side of Douglas in flats, weeds and lily pads. Catfish were hitting anywhere there was some deep holes and quiet. OTHER OUTDOOR SHORTS: Berry pickers are out in the game areas and finding good crops of "black caps” (black rasp­ berries) and blueberries. Our parks are filling up on the weekends.

Revenues from the sale of hunting and fishing licenses are used by the states to help conduct their fish and wildlife management end restoration programs. The numbers of license nolders in each state are used by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in deter­ mining the amount of funds apportioned to the states under the Federal Aid in Fish and Wildlife Restoration programs. Under these programs, states are reimbursed for up to 75 percent of the costs of approved projects undertaken to benefit their fish and wildlife resources. For the current fiscal year which ends September 30, 1982, $147 million was apportioned in Federal aid funds for fish and wildlife conservation.

Americans who hunted and fished last year spent a record $455 million on licenses, tags, permits, and stamps, according to G. Ray Arnett, assistant secretary for Fish and Wildlife and Parks of the Department of Interior. Total income collected from license sales of all kinds was $37 million over fiscal year 1980 totals, including $242 million for hunting licenses (up $20 million from 1980) and $213 milion for fishing licenses (up $17 milion from 1980). The total number of hunting license holders in the United States reported during fiscal year 1981 was 16,638,584 — up from 1980's total of 16,257,074. Fishing license holders totaled 29,277,241, increasing from 27,994,917 as reported in 1980. These figures do not fully reflect the actual numbers of hunters and anglers in the United States. They do not include persons who are exempt from paying a fee for fishing or hunting licenses. In many states, special provisions are made for senior citizens, persons under 16 years of age, the disabled’ and certain military personnel. Also, most coastal states do not require licenses for saltwater fishing. In addition, some people purchase licenses in more ‘.han one state, New laws regulating the sale and ownership of flare launchers have recently gone into effect, and Michigan State Police officials are urging retailers and potential pur­ chasers of these devices to be aware of these changes. Basically, the new laws exempt retailers and purchasers of flare gun pistols from the handgun purchase permit and registration requirements, but at the same time restrict sales to boaters or pilots 18 years or older. The purchaser is required to present a boat registration, bill of sale or airplane pilot license to the retailer in order to purchase a flare gun pistol. Possession and transportation of the devices is restricted for use in conjunction with boating and aircraft emergencies. When carrying the device in your car. it must be unloaded, enclosed in a case and carried in a trunk of the vehicle. If the vehicle does not have a trunk, it should be transported in an area not readily accessible to the occupants of the vehicle. Violation of the new laws also carries penalties. Anyone selling, purchasing or possessing a device not in compliance with these provisions is guilty of a misdemeaner punishable by a fine of up to $200 or imprisonment of up to 90 days, or both. A person who uses a flare pistol in violation of the act is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of not more tlian $200. Users of the device are held strictly liable for any damages caused by that use. State Police also warn tnat the launchers are by law still classified as firearms and anyone using one in commission of a criminal act would be subjected to the penalties prescribed for violating the particular criminal law.

Johnston Pufih also Pugh said he could hnualso saidnot he find could not find how the 50 percent figure was originally developed Among the places which Pugh said they had studied were Grand Ledge, Allegan. Charlotte, Belding, Marshall, Dowagiac and Three Rivers. All of these departments were managed by the city, he said, except for Grand Ledge, which has a joint city-township fire board. Pugh said all of the deparments had dif­ ferent methods of assessing township costs some of which he termed “ridiculously low . The other departments, he noted, recom­ mended that a contract be signed for no more than two years. Thomas said that Grand Ledge, which just signed a new contract, is set up similar to Hastings, except that the townships don’t own any equipment. Though Grand Ledge had sought only 35 percent of the cost from the townships, Thomas said, the townships offered to pay 40 percent. Previously, he continued, the townships were charged by the run. “One township only had a $600 fire bill for the whole year,” he said. Thomas said he didn't think anybody from the city had really studied the value of the equipment and the services the townships were receiving. “No one wants to see (the department) going down the drain," Thomas said. “It’s not to our benefit.” Township officials also noted that their equipment is used to service areas of the city not covered by fire hydrants, yet the city equipment is not used to fight rural fires. Officials of the five townships who share the cost of the Hastings Fire Department are seeking a reduction in their payments for fire protection. Several township officials attended Monday’s meeting of the Hastings City Council to present their case. The city operates the county’s only fulltime fire department on a 50-50 cost sharing basis to serve the city, Baltimore, Carlton and Rutland townships and portions of Irving and Hastings townships. The budget for the department for 1982-83 has been set at $174,898. Richard Thomas, Hastings Township supervisor, said their organization, the BIRCH Rural Fire Department, has made a study of similar departments in the area. “We found out that the townships are furnishing considerably more equipment than any other townships in this area," Thomas said. Thomas said the townships were offering to pay 35 percent of the cost of the depart­ ment. They wou’d like the city to make an actual assessment of its equipment, which Thomas said was far below what other cities the same size have. DeWayne Pugh, a Rutland Township trustee, said that most of the places they studied did not split the department costs on a percentage basis. Instead, he said, the cities came up with a charge for the town­ ships, which was considerably less than what BIRCH members were paying. u>:n: . Councilman William Cook 'Fourth Ward; said that according to fire department figures, the 50-50 split was actually to the townships’ favor because they were receiving most of me fire runs. Councilman Gordon Bennett (Second Ward) agreed, noting that the townships had 70 runs in the first part of the year against 39 for the city. He also said that the city had its investment in a building to offset the townships’ investment in equipment “1 didn’t feel that (50-50) was an unfair split." he said. Forest Foley. Rutland Township super­ visor. raised the question of why the city was providing free dispatching service for Freeport. Nashville and Middleville departments. Johnstown Township, he said, had to pay $2,000 to Bedford for dispatching’ plus install its own equipment. “Aren’t we playing Santa Claus too long?" lie asked. Richard Shaw, city attorney, noted that the old agreement was an informal gentlemen’s agreement between the city and the town­ ships during the days of the now defunct Rural Fire Association. Shaw said that under the old association, nobody was sure who owned the trucks, who the shareholders in the association were and who was entitled to fire service. "(If the department) is broken down," Shaw continued, “it would cost the city a bundle and the township citizens a bundle ’’ The council referred the contract to its Fire and Lighting Committee for a recom­ mendation by the next council meeting The council referred a request from Charter Telecommunications to run a cable Officials from Hastings. Rutland Baltimore. Carlton and Irving townships attended Monday’s council meeting to present their case for a lower fii e cost. (Banner photo) City pipe debate quelled The Hastings City Council apparently has ended the debate on how much water pipe the city should keep in inventory. In a quick report, Monday evening, William Cusack (Second Ward), chairman of the water and sewer committee, said that in view of the possibility of a large development coming into the city, his committee could see • absolutely no problem" with Michael Klovanich. director of public services, maintaining a large stock of pipe “at this time’’. No comment was made by any city official on what the large development might be. The debate on the amount of pipe was sparked by Mayor Kenneth J. Howe at the July 12 council meeting, when he questioned why the city needed a large stock of pipe when it had a program of replacing only 15 blocks of pipe each year. Howe said the city could save money by not purchasing more pipe than needed. He also said he was unaware of plans to install a new water main on Cook Road this year. Council, at that meeting, referred Howe’s questions to committee. The Primary Ballott...

Hastings Devoted to the Interests of Barry County Since 1856 Vol. 127, No. 30 Hastings, Michigan Price 20€ Thursday, July 29,1982 Determined Thornapple-Kellogg officials trying 16 mill package again, August 3 by Greg Johnson Determined Thornapple-Kellogg school officials will seek support of a once-defeatcd 16 mill package in a special election on Tuesday. Aug. 3. “We feel 16 mills is the least we can operate on and still offer basic programs," Superintendent Gerald Page said Wed­ nesday. "List year we offered a sub-par program and we don’t want to go through another year like last year." On Monday, June 14, the same package voters will see on Tuesday, was defeated 968 votes to 874. The proposed 16 mill package includes 12 mills renewal and four mills additional. Last year the schools operated on 25.82 mills. Several programs were cut and the school day was five hours instead of six. If the 16 mill package is voted down again on Aug. 3, the schools will have 15 mills to work with. "I don't think there is any question we would have to come back with some type of millage if it goes down,” Page said. “To try and run on 15 mills, we might stay open until November." Pa*»e, who was optimistic before the June 14 vote, said he is optimistic about the chances this time around too. "We changed our strategy some and we are urging more people to get out and vote," he said. "Last time (June 14) under 2,000 of the districts 5,400 registered voters turned out. With our surveys and phone calls we think we have targetted enough yes voters. If they will just get out and do it." Page said the board feels 16 mills is the minimum they can offer as educators. "We are already on acreditation probation (from the University of Michigan), the boosters had to fund the athletic program and we had only a five hour day,” he said. "As educators we don’t feel we can allow that to happen again.” Currently, the schools employ 70 teachers who worked with 1,869 students last year. With passage of the millage, five teachers would be added, most of them at the Middle School, the hardest hit by cuts. Three years ago the schools employed 104 teachers. If the millage is defeated, more teachers may be cut. Page said. This year will be the third year of a four year contract with the teachers calling for an eight percent pay increase. In June, Page felt the teachers contract might be opened for negotiation because of a cost of living clause in the contract, but he said Wednesday that the contract would not be opened. "The cost of living took a big jump up to 7.1 percent in June, and the contract would of had to open if it was under 7 percent." Page explained. The latest available statistics from the State Board of Education reveal that the average salary per teacher at TK is $20,196 ranking 184 out of 529 kindergarten through 12th grade districts. The contracts with bus drivers and non­ instruction employees are currently under negotiation. Page said he could not comment on the current status of the negotiations. Athletics and other extra curricular ac­ tivities, funded largely last year by booster funds of $50,000, will be "up in the air” with or without the passage of the millage. "The boosters have indicated that next year they will not be able to fund they way they did this year," Page said. "A lot of people don’t realize how much work the boosters did last year. All we hear is that you did ok last year. You had a full athletic program.’’ "Those people are missing the point. A booster club is designed to help, not com­ pletely fund." Page said that the school staff has worked very hard on this millage question. "We have our backs up against the wall,” he said. “We truly believe we can’t go any farther. We need this millage to offer just a basic education." Hastings youth in good condition after July 14 hanging mishap Chris Patten, 9, of 426 S.

There will be no admission charge at the gate for voters. Charles Leonard, of Charter Telecomtnunciations, said that running the line through the city would save his company $30,000 Councilman David Jasperse (Fourth Ward) questioned the problems that might occur in the future because of the cable lines which are not intended to serve city residents. He also noted that the city cannot grant an exclusive franchise to Triad Cable TV', which already services the city. “Triad is providing service to the city, you are not.” Jasperse said. “You're not doing anything for the citizen’ of Hastings. If ten years down tie road, somebody came in and needed some space on the poles, I don't want any problems." Jasperse suggested that pert of any agreement with Charter could be a requirement that service be offered to any areas of the city not being serviced by Triad, but near Charter cables. Wayne Wright, president of Triad, said his company would be servicing the entire city within 90 days. In other action, the council authorized Police Chief Mark Steinfort to purchase a 1982 LTD "S" with a police package from Renner Ford. Renner bid the car at $10,955 and allowed a trade-in value of $2,834 for a 1979 Ford, for a final price of $8,121. Renner’s bid was the only one received by Steinfort. Banner 2.

Thursday, July 29. 1982 Page 2 Milliman stresses differences with Wolpe by Ken Reibel Richard J Milliman. Republican can­ didate for Third District U.S. Congress, says his opponent Howard Wolpe has voted "in opposition to President Reagan’s programs 80 to 90 percent of the time." Milliman. a4, a small-town newspaper publisher in several southern Michigan There are two different pictures of Howard Wolpe," says Milliman, "Most of his literature and most of his speeches back in the district lend to point out that he is concerned with balancing budgets, limiting spending and eliminating waste, but then he turns around and goes back to Washington and votes the other way.” Milliman says the difference between himself and Wolpe is “he approaches his job as congressman from the aspect that government should be doing more for people; mine is that people should be doing more for themselves, and that the strength of government comes from people. it goes from people up to government, and not govern­ ment down to people." Another difference between himself and the incumbent Wolpe is. says Milliman, Wolpe’s support for abortion on demand. The hydraulically operated "Jaws of life" can be used to cut the door off a car or lift a dashboard, and is much in demand among the nation's fire departments os a rescue system. Hastings Fire Department gets “Jaws of Life” tool The Hastings Fire Department joined departments from Middleville and Delton Monday in acquiring the "Jaws of Life", a powerful, much publicized rescue system. “Jaws" consists of a small gasoline engine and a heavy duty spreader and a cutter which can be used to lift up to 10,060 pounds, or snap the hinges off a car door. The device is commonly used to rescue accident victims trapped in their vehicles. The spreader ways 58 pounds, and can produce as much as .0,000 pounds of push- pull force. With it, a rescuer can remove a door, pull a steering column, or lift a dash­ board. The cutter weighs 27 pounds, and is capable of producing 24,000 pounds of usable cutting force. Total cost of the system is over $5,000. In the past, Hastings has had to borrow the device from other fire departments, often Middleville, causing much delay during rescue attempts.

To The Editor: We recently received a letter from the Barry County Equalization Department, as did some of you, stating that they were conducting an equalization study “to acheive equitable and accurate county equalization” and “provide an uniform basis for the distibution of the property tax burden." The study involves the sampling of various types of property and our property had been selected as one of the properties to be ap­ praised. This sounded great until I read the next paragraph, and I quote: “In the near future staff appraisers will visit the property for its examination which includes land and building dimensions, effective age of the structures, and quality if construction, both exterior and interior." Appointments were available if nobody is usually at the property during the day. And in the next paragraph: "If the property has been sold or rented, please notify the present occupant about the study. Your cooperation in this matter will be appreciated, as we will measure property even if no one is at home." This is a response to an article in the July 22 Banner. The article was the police and court beat, in the article about the golf cart vandalism, I was wondering if the Banner had a misprint; it seems to me that there was another kid involved in this incident.

PUBLIC OPINION: THIS WEEK’S QUESTION: When voters go the the polls on August 10, they’ll race a host of candidates seeking posts in Lansing and Barry County. With so many people running for office, do you think we’ll see a change in government? Are you looking for anything specific in the candidate for whom you will vote? I was upse’ that a team of appraisers could come to my door at their convenience and parade through and inspect the interiors of my home, and I think most homeowners, especially women, would feel the same way. The letter implies that they have the authority to do it, so they must, right? What about my right to privacy in my home? After a call to a member of tax review board, my lawyer, and to the Equalization Department itself, I found that I was not required to let the appraisers into my home. In fact, when I called the Equalization Department to ex­ press my concern, I was given the option of answering questions at my door and given an ipportunity to call for a appointment for a lime for the appraisal that would be con­ venient for me. I realize that accurate and equitable county equalization is important, but it is not so important that the right to privacy in our homes and on our property of the people of Barry County should be trampled on in acheiving it. My husband and I talked about how this matter reminded us of Russia where the secret police come to the door and demand entrance into the citizens homes and look through their things. The letter cer­ tainly implies that we had no choice but to let the appraisers into our homes to look around whenever they appeared at our door. This letter is to inform you that you are not required to admit appraisers to your home and to encourage you to find out what your rights are in a given situation and stand up for them rather than stand by and let them be violated.

They channel our life-giving water supply, modify our climate to provide the right conditions for every need, and offer many recreational op­ portunities. Mountains have played a vital role throughout history, and some of the most famous Biblical episodes were enacted on their slopes or summits. Whatever your creed, you need look no farther to appreciate God’s handi­ work than these breath-taking high points of the earth’s horizon. CLARKSVILLE - Mr. Harold E. Yoder. 79, of 186 N.

Johnston Former Hastings teacher Dale Sprik is predicting a victory in his third try for Congress, even though he lost by a wider margin in 1980 than in 1978. Sprik was in Hastings, last week, to campaign during the Barry County Free Fair. He will face State Sen. Stephen Monsma in the Aug 10 Democratic primary, seeking the Fifth District spot on the November ballot against Republican in­ cumbent Rep. Harold Sawyer. In both his previous races. Sprik faced Sawyer for the Fifth District seat. Reap­ portionment this year adjusted the district to include all of the northern eight townships of Barry County and the city of Hastings “I have an excellent chance to win on the basis of my analysis of the new Fifth District." Sprik said. The Grand Rapids attorney said that he came within one-half of one percent of vic­ tory in 1978 and blames his 1980 defeat on the Reagan landslide. "I got 20,000 voles more than (President) Carter," Sprik said. He said that he received eight percent more votes in 1980 that the Democratic state board of education candidate, which is used to measure the number of hue party voters in an election. To win this year, he predicted that he will need only three percent ahead of the state board candidate. Discussing his Democratic primary op­ ponent, Sprik said that people are looking at the candidates on the basis of what they are going to do in Washington and what they want in a Congressman, not on experience. “It’s my approach to solving problems and my approach to government and people," Sprik said that will get him elected. He said people want no more government involvement in their lives than is really needed and they want a person they feel will fight for the common and average people. “My experience fighting for people as a lawyer has demonstrated that,” he said. "I represent a lot of individual people, small businesses, workers, retired people." He said that when they have problems with the legal system or with government, he takes care of them quickly and efficiently and gets results. Turning to issues in the campaign, Sprik said that the nation is near economic disaster unless some things are changed, including changing the people in Congress. “Congress cannot operate alone, separate from the White House and vice-versa." he said. "In 1980. the vast majority of people in this country, this state, and this district, said, ‘We want basically what Ronald Reagan is talking about " Sprik said that Reagan called for protecting Social Security, balancing the budget and "get America working again." "They voted for that," he said ‘But the promises of 1980 have turned into the highest unemployment rale since the Great Depression.” He said that budget passed by Congress was the budget that Ronald Reagan wanted and that Reagan “hammered through" his tax cuts. The present budget, with its $103 billion deficit, he said, was passed by a Republican Congress with enough boll weevils (crossover conservative Democrats) in the House of Representatives. Sprik said he favors the balanced budget ammendment ajjd discounts arguments against it that he has heard from economists and legal scholars saying it won’t work and is unenforceable. He said that the form of the amendment he supports is similar to the state's constitution. which requires, as a safety mechanism, a three-fifths vole of Congress to override the amendment. "It's absolutely certain that unless we have something like that < the amendment)," he continued, "it's not politcally possible for a lot of Congressmen Io vote a balanced budget." He said that in his dealings with the government though his business, he has seen mone> spent recklessly and easily in government agencies. "We have to have that control to help create a lot more fiscal responsibility and spending responsibility," he said. “(The bureaucrats) have got to produce if they are going to get paid.’’ He said that the government has enough sources of revenue to balance the budget now and for every one percent decrease in unemployment, the federal government saves $25 billion. With four percent less unemployment, he said, the budget would be balanced. Sprik said Reagan's lax cut package is "top heavy massively" in favor of people who earn over $100,000. Sprik favors following the Kennedy tax cut plan of 1963, which was basically the same as the Democratic plan proposed in August of 1981 shifting the tax cut to favor the lower end of the economic scale, rather than higher incomes. This, he said, would stimulate demand by­ giving the people who do the purchasing money to buy products. "What business man on earth is going to invest in plants when there is no demand,” he said. "Then, is nothing wrong with Reagan'* (supply side) theory except that it's nuts." Sprik said the effect of the recession is just beginning to seriously affect western Michigan, but now a lot of his clients have been thrown out of work. "I've noticed it in our office,” he said. "The cash flow lias been terribly tight." On other Issues. Reagan said he supports the Equal Rights Amendment and believes it is way overdue. Sprik charged that Reagan tried to cut Social Security benefits two times, but now is taking credit for the cost of living increase given this month. "Social Security is very different than any other government program.' he said. “In the 19.35 Social Security Act. we made a contract with the people that if you work a lifetime, pay in do Social Security) and pay taxes, support your family and’kids, that when it comes time to retire, you be guaranteed as a right that the government will see that you retire in dignity and respect." He said that retirees have a right to Social Security payments and cost of living in­ creases because of that social compact formed in the 1930's. He pointed out that for every percent of unemployment, $5 billion less per year goes into the Social Security Retirement Trust Fund. To provide adequate funds for Social Security will require a reduction in unem­ ployment, he said. “Even the trustees' report said that under the present system, once we get through the crisis in eight or nine years," he continued, “by 1990, there will be a surplus in it (Social Security funds).’’ Sprik accused Reagan of really wanting to dismantle the Social Security system, which he said would be the biggest’disaster for the country. "Social Security is the fundamental tool of social justice and decency in this country." he said. Bullard visits Hastings as he skates down the campaign trail Jerry Bullard, Republican candidate for the 88th District House seat, and Larry Ebberly, a member of the Nashville Youth for Christ movement, will skate from the Barry County Courthouse to Ionia on Sunday. The two plan to leave at 1 p.m. and arrive in Ionia around 4:30 p.m. The trip will serve as a practice run for Ebberly. He plans to skate from Battle Creek to the Mackinac Bridge beginning Sep­ tember 2 and hopes to cross the bridge on Labor Day. He says the trip is to raise funds for the Campus Life program in Nashville. “We go to high schools and work with the kids to give them a spiritual, social, and mental balance,” says Ebberly. “I met Larry at a shop in Hastings," says Bullard. “We both have Christ in our hearts and we hit it right off. He told me about his work with young people and his fundraising plan, and I thought I'd join in.” “I guess you could say I believe in his movement and he believes in mine." he says.

Michigan 49058 �The Hastings Banner, ’hursday, July 29, 1982 - page Welborn campaign bus keeps rolling in quest of governor’s seat by Robert J. Johnston Saying that he still has a chance to win the four-way Republican primary race for governor. State Sen. Jack Welborn rolled through Hastings on his campaign bus, Monday. Several recent polls released by his Republican opponents and Detroit media show Welborn running last in the race. Welborn says, however, that based on his poll, he still has a good chance towin. "We don’t count just Republican voters," the conservative rural Kalamazoo candidate says. "For Jack Welborn towin, We've got to get the blue-collar Democrats, the ones that were mad enough to vote for Tisch (tax cut proposals;.” Discussing polls, Welborn also cracks that he is old enough to remember when Tom Dewey was elected president. (In the 1948 election, polls showed Dewey far ahead of President Harry Truman, who won re­ election.) Welborn says that most of the polls don’t go deep enough. "We’re after the single issue voter,” he continues, "the ones who vote with their pocket books, who are upset about high taxes. If they're mad enough on Aug. 10, I’ll be the nominee and the next governor.” Welborn also says that if voters are not mad on primary day, then one of his three opponents will be the Republican nominee and Democratic Rep. James Blanchard will be the next governor. He says that he is the only Republican who can pull blue collar voters, that he attracts them because he was not bom with a “silver spoon” in his mouth, that he worked for every dollar he has and that he has a con­ sistent voting record, especially on the issue of taxes. Welborn produces campaign literature which shows K-12 education spending receiving 22.13 percent of the state budget in 1969-70 against 17.32 percent for social ser­ vices that year. His chart shows spending for K-12 education receiving only 14.10 percent of the 1980-81 budget against 35.78 percent for social services. “35 cents of every dollar that goes to Lansing goes to welfare," he says.

Nestled in the peaceful north woods near Gaylord, Joyce Hartley’s home appears to be an unlikely frontier of scientific research. But Mrs. Hartley, and people like her throughout the eastern United States, are science’s foot soldiers in an urgent effort to unravel a major environmental mystery. The target acid rain. The name sounds ominous. Some in­ dividuals claim that acid rain can damage lakes, forests and crops. It is, at the very least a highly emotional issue. But underneath the rhetoric, scientists have more questions about acid rain than answers. People like Mrs. Hartley play a vital role in the search for those answers. Using scientific equip­ ment Mrs. Hartley measures’ precipitation and collects rain and snow samples She tests the samples for acid content then she sends the samples to a Cali­ fornia laboratory for more detailed analyses Identical re­ search is being done at other locations throughout the eastern U.S. The results will show, over time, differences and changes in rain acidity. It is only one of many studies The Electric Power Research Institute, the research arm of America’s electric power indus­ try. has spent more than S15 million studying acid rain. In 1981 alone the federal govern­ ment spent S30 million. Despite all of the research, precious little is known about acid rain and its effects Acids of course, are an essen­ tial part of our world; apples oranges carrots bananas, toma­ toes and thousands of other foods are acidic. Rain. too. is naturally acidic. What causes acid rain? Cer­ tain gases react with moisture in the air and are converted to acids Carbon dioxide, for example­ present naturally in the atmos­ phere—reacts this way to form a mild carbonic acid. Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides also react with moisture to form acids Volcanoes forest fires lightning, and decaying vegetation all release sulfur or nitrogen compounds into the air So do man's inventions such as coal-buming industrial and elec­ tric power plants The country’s transportation system produces Joyce Hartley large amounts of nitrogen com­ pounds It is man’s contributions which some claim are increasing the acidity of rain and threaten­ ing the environment But scientists aren’t so sure. They haven’t been able to con­ clusively prove adverse environ­ mental effects. In fact scientists have not even been able to agree whether rain is any more acidic than in th^ past Nonetheless, concerns about the environment have prompted society to take protective action. Michigan has been a national leader in reducing industrial sulfur dioxide emissions. Its air quality regulations are among the toughest in the nation. But it is costly . Michigan’s two major electric utilities have in­ vested nearly S2.5 billion in environmental controls in the past seven years. Michigan util­ ities have reduced sulfur dioxide emissions by nearly 45 percent over the past five years in order to comply with state-mandated con­ trol programs. The result has been an improv ed environment but higher bills for customers. Before citizens are asked to foot the bill for additional sulfur dioxide controls, utility com­ panies say the public deserves more answers, and proof that proposed solutions will work That's why Michigan utilities are investing in research projects, like the one involving Joyce Hartley. They are looking for the answers no one has yet This advertisement is paid for by the shareholders of Consumers Pou'er Company 23-36-205-E virtuousity of the old-time siring hands combined with the expressive vocal techniques and sweet harmony singing common to bluegrass and country music They have performed in the United States. Canada and Europe Iowa Ross'n riff raff hits become a favorite at the Thornapple Music Festival in recent years. The kind has been on the circuit developing a show of bluegrass, country, oldtime. folk, rhythm and blues, and swing music using both traditional acoustic in­ struments with a touch of electric in­ struments. Lost World String Band began as a traditional string hand and has also moved into the other areas of American country music Like the other performers, Lost World has been traveling a circuit where they can branch out and perfect their combination of tradition and contemporary styles. Footloose is making its first appearance at Charlton Park with a style of music it labels as country-grass. Using traditional in­ struments, the musicians are known as an "audience band" that delivers an old-timey sound in the styles of folk, blues jazz and even rock, when appropriate. Last, but certainly one of the leaders of the day's bill, is the Sweet Com String Band of Kalamazoo, a favorite of audiences during the eight years of the Thornapple Music Festivals. Sweet Com bases its music in traditional bluegrass and old-time music, but delivers it in a show of high-energy style and powerful four-part harmonies. The August 1 show is the second of three Thomapple Music Festivals at Charlton Park, this summer. The third festival, on Sunday. August 29. moves away from the traditional into the contemporary versions of country music using both acoustic and elec­ tric instruments. On stage that day will be 4-wheel Drive, the Dirk Rivers Band. Stone Oak and Horsefeather. The festivals take place in the park's Historic Village of the late 1800's and the stage is set at the focal point of the park's natural amphitheater, centered on the village green. • Begun as a fundraiser in 1975 to restore Bristol Inn. an 1800's stagecoach stop and lavern. the Thornapple Music Festival have expanded over the years to become both major music events in southwestern Michigan and the county-owned park’s major fundraising events. Folks who attend bring along chairs and blankets to settle in for a relaxing afternoon, and when they need to stretch, they amble through the buildings of the village, restored to their original Barrry County Character of a hundred years ago. Charlton Park is located five miles east of Hastings off M-79. Other attractions al the park area beach and recreation area, which include nature trails, a boat launch and picnic areas. Admission to the festival is $5 for adults, 50 cents for children under 12 and free for preschoolers. No pets are allowed in the festival area. For more information, call 1616) 945-3775. The country-grass music of Footloose, a band from Ann Arbor, will be featured at the Thornapple Music Festival, Sunday, August 1st at Charlton Park, near Hastings. �The Hastings Banner, Thursday.

Author Gary Barknecht says his book, “Michillaneous".could be titled "The Michigan Book of Lists". He’s referring, of course, to “The Book of Lists”, the bestseller that showed us that browsing through a reference book can be fun. Bar.'knecht’s book belongs to that genre of fun. easy-to-read reference books, that in­ cludes such works as "The Guiness Book of World Records". “The People's Almanac” and even "Everything You Wanted To Know About Sex". Theoretically, anyone with enough time to turn over a library can turn out his own book of lists. But in order for the form to work, the book must entertain. If the author cannot avoid such unremarkable lists as "Four Counties With the Most Water", or "Five Most Common Trees”, then he should season his book with the offbeat and bizzare. Thus, in Michillaneous we find "Three Dogs Who Shot Their Masters", “Three Reasons for Getting Married in Hell" and “Four Rare Offenses". Barfknecht has balanced his book well, and produced a reference work true to the form. The 460 lists of Michillaneous are divided into ten chapters, with such upbeat titles as Death Sentences. Justice For All, Making Cents and Getting Down to Business. Because the tidbits contained within the book's 254 pages hit so close to home, they will not easily leave you. So you are .<kely to remember that Michigan boasts the first pedestrian mall (Kalamazoo), the first statesponsored university (University of Michigan) and seven Pulitzer prize winners. “Michillaneous” makes Michigan part of the larger scene, and provides us with the shock of recognition that makes us remember that our two peninsulas are not alone in the larger scheme of things. We read that Judy Garland. John Mitchell and Ed McMahon were all born in Michigan. We read that Harry Houdini died in Detroit. That General Motors was the first U.S. company to earn $1 billion in a year. “Michillaneous" is, as the author describes it, “a serious reference book that entertains", and “a truly fun book that painlessly informs". Such painless fun can be addicting, and before you know it, you may end up reading the whole book, list by list. “Michillaneous" is available at local bookstores or from Friede Publications, 510 N. Lapeer St.. Davison, Mich. 48423. Some excerpts from "Michillaneous”: — In 1974 a map sent by the Commerce Department as an out-of-state promotion left off the entire Upper Peninsula. — Funeral homes or burial establishments may not serve food or beverages. — State attorney general's opinion, November 13, 1970. — In March, 1980, 17 employees of the (par value) None (par value) 450 ......... 500 . .. 1,456 2,406 21,601 — MEMORANDA — Amounts outstanding as of report dale: None Standby letters of credit, total.................................................................................. 1,255 Time certificates of deposit in denominations of $100,000 or more...........

Fireflies or lightning bugs as 'hey are sometimes called, are member of a tamily of beetles that have a special organ that produces light. The special organ produces a cltemical that makes light when it combines with an activator and is cxpised to air, the Depart­ ment oi Natural Resources reports. The light is called cold light having less than io percent of its energy given off as heat. Regular light bulbs give off about 90 percent of their energy as heat. Fireflies can control the amount of air that gets tn the magic chemical, making their light ilai h or just glow, or even flash out unique rhyih.i s.

In addition to an odor which preceded him. the owl v as weak, dehydrated, and subject to * emors. His left eye was cloudy and the animal obviously was miserable and in poor condition. ”T-- first step taken was warm'ng the owl. then giving him vitamins, antibiotics, and a re-hydration solution. By gently working an eye dropper ink ’he owl’s mouth, and dropping solution slowly down his throat, fluids and medicine were given to the owl every hour his eye was ’rea’ed with diluted boric acid and opthalmic ointment. The ow l was force-fed a mixture oi heei heart and mice twice a day. Af’er five days his condition improved enough to allow a bath in tomato juice, lemon juice, and a weak solution of dishwashing liquid. This type of bathing seemed to insult the Great Horned Owl considerably, but he survived the ordeal and dried off in the warm sun. For the first time in five days lie was ap­ proachable! After a week of eating or. his own and flying quite well, the Great Horned Owl was declared fully recovered. He was released on the Nature Center during the last week in July. He- was seen flying away-away from the nests of small black and white animals! They are likely doing the same thing you are. looking for shade. To find fish on a hot sunny day find the shady areas of tire water, under lily pads, weeds and brush, under overhangs like undercut banks deadfalls, or under logs and piers. Also give the mid-lake deep water a shot and find the thermocline. To find the thermocline where fish hang out, tie a thermometer to about a 50 foot string. Lower it a couple of feet at a time and take a reading. Normally the temperature drops about a degree for each foot of depth. But when you hit the thermocline it can drop from five to ten degrees. When you encounter this, then check the depth by your string length, and fish just above the thermocline. If you don't want to mess with the ther­ mocline, try the shady spots using jellyworms on the bottom and surface lures on top. Remember your comfort too. Take cold drinks, snacks, wear a hat, sun glasses and protect yourself with suntan lotion. A HARD LIFE down the Founders Day parade route to Delton Elementary School.

Ionia Free Fair to host AMA pro motorcycle race Professional AMA sanctioned motorcycle racing returns to the Ionia Free Fair Saturday, August 7, at 2:30 p.m. for the sixth annual half mile dirt race...the only pro event set for Michigan in 1982 and the only race scheduled in the USA that day. Over 100 racers from ten states and Canada will compete including area favorites Ted Boody of Lansing, and Garth Brow of Flint, both Ionia Free Fair winners, defending champ Charlie Robert of Wheeling, and Tom Maitland of Clio, who kissed the wall in 1981 and still won the Junior final. Winston Pro Series riders are between "nationals" and will use Ionia as practice for their next event. Nationals pay ten times the purse of $2,700 offered in Ionia but the smaller races groom younger riders for the circuit. Novces, juniors and experts will compete and hit 110 m.p.h. on the dirt and even though they have brakes they seldom use them...relying instead on throttle control and good traction to slow them in the turns as they throw their machines sideways and put their steel shoe (“hotshoe”) on the track as an outrigger. Gates open at noon, time trials are 1:30 p.m., races at 2:30 p.m. and practice is at 12:30. Admission for kids 16 and under is $3; and adults, $6.

ANYONE INTERESTED PLEASt U0ME OR CALL 945-4720 for more Information I �The Hastings Banner. Thursday. July 29. 1982 — Page 12 The Chief says: Check tires and buckle up to turn highways into safe ways Operation identification solves crime prevention Have you ever wondered why police and sheriff's depart­ ments have hundreds, sometimes thousands of items to auction off every year? If you've had something stolen, has it been recovered? If it was recovered, could you positively identify it? Quite a few people have feelings of apathy toward crime, until they become a victim themselves. After they become victims, they find out that things aren't like they are on “Adam 12”, “Dragnet", and other television programs. Police departments in reality are no place near as efficient as those T.V. police departments. The answer to the first question above is that every year we get hundreds of items either turned in to us. recovered, or found. We get toys, watches, cameras, radios, tape recorders, tools, bikes and almost any other thing you can think of. A lot of stuff cannot be identified, and it hasn't been reported as stolen or lost. To help cope with this problem, the State Police started a program called "Operation Identification" a few years ago. In this area, the State Police, Barry County Sheriff's Department, and the Hastings Police Department became involved. Operation Identification is a "positive action program for home and business that will substantially increase the recovery of stolen property and may even reduce the risk of theft." Under this program you should mark all items of value with your driver s license number. This number can be traced back to you no matter where your property may be found. If we find some property of yours in the back seat of a thief's car. it will help us prosecute that person. We have even had thieves return things to us after they were busted that they couldn't remember where they had taken it from If these items had been marked, we could have returned them to the owners. Under this program, you are also given stickers to put on your windows and doors. This will show burglars that you are con­ cerned about your property. To a burglar. th?s means increased risk. It would be a very good idea for farmers to use this program, too. Farm machinery, wagons, and tools are easy to steal because they are left out a lot, especially this time of year. If you would like to use this program or know more about it, contact our department, the sheriff s department, or state police. The cost is nothing, and we have electric in­ scribers to lend out. Inscribing tools can also be purchased for a small cost at most hard ware stores, but still contact one of the departments for window stickers. Another good idea is to keep an inventory of your items of value, including serial numbers of these items. If you do happen to have a loss or theft, be sure to report it and if the items are marked, tell the officer that they are and where they are marked. Hopefully with the use of this program we can cut down thefts and be able to return more property to the owners and victims. Washington. D.C. - Highways can be ">afer ways"dunng the holiday seasons this year if motorist check their tires for proper inflation pressure, adequate tread depth and remember to use their seat belts, reminds the Tire Industry Safety Council. "Proper tire air pressure, tires with adequate tread remaining and buckled seat belts should be at the top of every safety check list before taking off on a long road trip," said Council Chairman Donald G. Brotzman. He noted that tires should be inflated to the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations as shown on the tire information placard in the car At that pressure, tires not only help ensure safer ride but improve fuel economy by up to three percent compared to tires whose pressure has been allowed to drop to low levels. "By checking and adjusting the air pressure in your tires every month, you can save substantial amounts on your annual gasoline bill." Brotzman said. "Those savings could mean up to 300 extra miles of you travel the normal 10,000 miles a year," he declared. 5$ SALE FRIDAY S SATURDAY HASTINGS Jacobs Prescription Pharmacy Your Rexoll Store, Downtown Hastings Culligan Water Conditioning 313 North Boltwood Lee Ann Shoppe Ladies* and Childresn's Ready-To-Wear 1I8W.

He points out that the chances of an ac­ cident are a lot greater if your tires are bald. "Many accidents in wet weather are the result of vehicles skidding on bald or nearly bald tires," he said. Tires with less than one-sixteenth inch of tread depth showing are dangerous and should be replaced, he said. When the danger point has been reached, wear barrs will begin to show as narrow bands of smooth rubber across the tread at intervals around the tire. Brotzman also said before putting the car on the highway every occupant should put on his safety belt to prevent serious injury in case of an accident. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says there are 6.7 million traffic accidents reported annually, of which 2.4 million involve injuries and 44,000 are fatal crashes. The NHTSA says that only 12 percent of the drivers and passengers in­ volved in an accident used the available seat belts in the vehicle. “NHTSA statistics show that if safety belts are used, half of all deaths and injuries to occupants of passenger cars, light trucks and vans could be prevented,” Brotzman said. Brotzman listed these additional tips for holiday driving.: —Don't forget your spare tire. Check the pressure in your spare tire once a month and before long trips.

Robert Welborn top PAC man By Dave Dempsey Special to the Banner Slate Rep. Robert Welborn is a PAC man. Welborn, opposed by William Carmody of Carson City, for the 13th State Senate Republican nomination in the Aug. io primary has racked up over $11,000 in con­ tributions from political action committees, or PACS for short, on his way to a $28,140 fundraising total through July 25 Other area candidates found different routes to their campaign bankrolls, shunning fundraising efforts. At least four candidates also avoided high interest rates by loaning personal cash to their campaign. Topping out this list was Welborn's opponent Carmody who loaned $10,800 of his own money to his Senate bid. The only other trend apparent in the final pre-primary report filed July 30 was the relatively low level of campaign effort from six of the eleven candidates in the 88th State Representative race. Reports for Democrat Robert Edwards and Republicans Craig Starkweather and David Bennett were filed, but not available for inspection Tuesday. Two others. Republicans Blase Kearney and Thomas Lower, had spent less than $700 each on their campaigns, and Democrat Rob Bergeron had campaign contributions of less than $500, and was not required to file. The following is a breakdown on the campaign fundraising efforts in area races. 13th State Senate District Republican Welborn had raised $28,140 and spent $12,761.08 in a period ending July 25. Leading source of funds for Welborn was a $12,061.50 transfer from his former State Representative campaign committee, but he also faired exceptionally well in fundraising with PACs. Welborn's largest single PAC contribution was $4,000 from the Michigan Beer and Wine Wholesalers PAC. He also received $2,000 from R-PAC from Lansing. Other PAC contributions to Welborn are: Meijer Management PAC, $500; Michigan Insurance PAC, $100; Service Station dealers, $200; Detroit Tooling PAC, $500; Savings Assoc. PAC, $300, Hospital Assoc. PAC, Life Underwriters PAC, Michigan Opthalmology FAC, all $250; Right to Life PAC, $200, Vet-PAC, ,.100; Michigan Bell PAC, $150; Dent-PAC, $82u; Trac-PAC, $200Michigan Truck PAC, $350; Michigan Doctors PAC, $100; Pharmacy PAC, $750 Good Trac PAC, $100, and the Michigan Optometric PAC, $50. Carmody meanwhile had raised $14,305, of which $10,800 came from his own pocket, and spent $8,793. The only PAC givers listed were the School Alliance PAC of Okemas, $100, and the Ottawa County Educationr> ASSOC. PAC, M0. Democratic John Whitman and LiberLa ria n Richard Whitelock had no report available 'luesday 88th State House Leading the fundraising race in the Republican primary is Jerry Bullard of Ionia. Through July 25, Bullard had received contributions of $5,945, of which $5,400 is a loan from himself and his wife. Bullard had spent $5,786.28 of that amount, principally on newspaper ads and billboards. Next highest is Robert Bender, who had raised $3,258.98, and spent $924 at the close of the reporting period. One-third of Bender s total is a $1,000 contribution from Agri-PAC, the campaign arm of the Michigan Farm Bureau. Coming in third, Michael Fracker had receipts of $2,470.44. All but $100 is a self loan. Fracker has spent $2,476.16. Sam McKeown is the only other candidate with four figures. He had receipts of $2,171.29, and spent the same amount. Thomas Lower had contributions of $445 and total expenditures of $651.85. Blaise Kearney filed a report certifying he had spent no more than $500. Ronald Reisterer’s report was received by the state Office of Campaign Finance Saturday, one day late, and figures were not obtained in time by the Banner for this report. Reisterer does, however, show contributions of $2,749 and expenditures of $2,747.02 for 1981. Reports for Republicans Craig Stark­ weather and David Bennett, and Democrat Robert Edwards were filed, but not available for inspection by Tuesday. Democrat Robert Bergeron had spent less than $500, and is not required to file a detailed campaign finance report. The Hastings 3rd District U.S. House 5th District U.S. House Republican Richard Milliman of Lansing reported just $425 in new contributions in the final pre-primary period of July 1-21. A personal loan of $17,500, bringing the total of such loans to $40,000 this year, financed the bulk of Milliman's campaign efforts during the period. Milliman spent $15,164.79 during the first three weeks of July. Democratic imeumbent Howard Wolpe also of Lansing reported contributions of $13,675 for July 1 to 21. He spent $15,104.47, and had cash on hand of $29,931.96. For 1982, Wolpe has raised $84,595.88, and spent $72,268.38. Wolpe was the recipient of a $5,000 con­ tribution from the Michigan Democratic party, and $2,000 from the Seafarers Political Action Donation Committee. He also received $1,000 from both the Carpenters Legislative Improvement Committee, and the Kalamazoo Democrats, and $500 from the political arm of the National Association of Social Workers. Republican imeumbent Harold Sawyer had a campaign treasury of $113,688.47 on hand as of July 21. In the first three weeks of July he had raised $11,592.47, for a year to date total ol $96,441.97. Sawyer spent $29,372.01 in the period for a year to date total of $58,212.99. Tenneco Inc. and the American Dental PAC both contributed $1,000 to Sawyer, as did Jay Van Andel, an Amway Corp, executive from Grand Rapids Democratic State Senator Stephen Monsma had a decided edge in fundraising over his primary opponent Dale Sprik. Monsma raised $11,868 in July for a yearly total of $57,368.45. Sprik received $1,107.27 for a 1982 grand total of $6,632.92. Sprik loaned his own campaign $1,000. Monsma had spent $17,945 during the period, and $54,220.60 for the year. Con­ tributions of $5,000 from the U.A.W. and $100 from the National Association of Social Workers were Monsma’s only PAC con­ tributions listed for July.

High-voltage vandals damage Gun Lake sub station Vandals, who climbed a fence to enter a Consumers Power Company substation in southwestern Barry County the week of July 27, must have some dangerously close to high voltage electric equipment. Bill Mabin, Consumer Power Company’s District Public Affairs Supervisor, has an­ nounced the utility is offering a $500 reward for information leading to the arrest and arriagnment of persons responsible for damage at the Gun Lake substation Mabin said the vandals tampered with regulator controls causing low voltage to customers, in the area. The vandals also removed a metal cabinet door, opened other doors and removed spare substation fuses. Mabin said not serious damage was done to the substation and no outage was caused, “However, it is apparent that whoever did these things inside the substation came close to getting seriously injured or perhaps killed.” he added. State Police have been notified of the in­ cident which occured recently at the sub­ statin located at 11501 Wildwood Road in Orangeville Township. Lock up your bicycles! A rash of bike thefts has been keeping city police busy. Bicycles, usually 10-speeds. have been stolen from garages, the backs of pickup trucks and even from the District Court building. Some bicycle thefts reported to police include the following: On July 21. Vivian Cleveland. 327 W. Green St., reported the theft of a yellow Schwinn, worth $150 from her garage She told police it was taken sometime between July 14 and 19. July 27. around 3 p.m.. Karen Hudson. 25 Ironside Dr.. parked her bicycle in back of the Cone Zone. 214 W. Court St., where she works. An hour and a half later. Hudson found her 10-speed Schwinn Royce Union gone. The bike is valued at about $100. Steve Harper. 702 W. Green St., told police he parked his truck, with his Western Flyer 10-speed in back, in City Lot No. 1 during sidewalk sale days Saturday. When Harper returned to nis vehicle, the bike was gone. On Tuesday. Joyce Faught. 435 E. South St., reported a blue Emerson single speed girl's bike was stolen from next to the District Court House, 220 W. Court.

On Tuesday, a record number of voters turned out to pass a 16-mill package that Superintendent Gerald Page hopes will get T-K off the critical list and on the road to recovery. “I hope we have hit bottom and are on our way up,” he said Wednesday. It was the second time around for the 16mill package that included 12 mills renewal and 4 mills additional. Passing the additional mills marks the first millage increase the schools have passed in 11 years. A record 2,102 votes were cast in Tuesday's election; 1,154 were yes votes, and 948 said no. On June 1. the same package was defeated 968 to 874. Page said the large turnout was the key to passage of u.e millage “I think we finally convinced people of the seriousness of this," Page said. “We had to have the millage to offer a basic education, that was the bottom line.” The results showed 20 fewer no votes this time around and 280 additional yes votes. "I think we changed a few people’s minds, but mainly I think people finally realized it was important enough from them to get out and vote," Page said. The new package gives T-K 30.65 mills to operate on next year. Last year Lie schools operated on 25.82 mills. Several programs were cut and the school day was five hours instead of six. Heat socks county clock’s tick-tock... The hot “time" in the old town tonight is a little slow. Dog Day afternoons of heat and humidity have been hounding the Barry County Courthouse clock, causing it to ring the hour wrong. Courthouse custodian Jim Witheim says the heat throws the timing mechanism off, causing the clock to ring too much and at the wrong times. “I'm not sure what pattern it is following now," Witheim said Tuesday, after the clock rang 10 times at 3:57 p.m. Withiem, who started his job in November of 1980, said it happened last summer too. “Happens every summer. We can’t keep it in time,” he said. “We'll reset the timing mechanism when it (the weather) cools off." Page said getting back the six hour day is the top priority. "I think the five hour day was the main reason we were put on accreditation probation (by the University of Michigan),” Page said. “I hope they realize we took a large step with passage of the millage and take us off probation." A phone campaign that urged residents to get out and vote was a key element to the passage of the millage. Page said. “The teiphone campaign that the citizen’s committee did, got them out to vote," he said. "There were a lot of people who did a lot of work.” Page said before the millage election that passage would mean adding five teachers to the Middle School staff, the hardest hit by cuts. “That is still the plan,” he said. "The only thing that could change that would be a big enough drop in enrollment." This year will be the third year of a four year contract with the teachers calling for an eight percent pay increase. TheT-K Board of Education voted Monday to ask the Kent County Education Association to open the teacher contract to negotiation. "None of the millage was pegged for raises," Page said. Ths schools are currently under negotiation with bus drivers and non­ instruction employees. Page said athletics and extra curricular activities, funded last year by booster money, will be handled by the school this year. "We hope to have the same programs," he said. "Everthing we used to have except girls and boys swimming and gymnastics." Woman pleads guilty to courthouse embezzlement, sentencing August 24 Delberta Ann Amsman, 27, C-508 Gaskill Rd., pleaded guilty in Circuit Court Friday to attempted embezzlement by a public official over $50. She stood mute to one count of embezzlement by public official. Arnsman was arraigned in Eaton County Circuit Court July 15 in connection with over $20,000 in funds missing from Barry District Court over a two-year period. The charge resulted after an audit of bookkeeping records revealed a sizeable cash shortage in district court accounts. Sentencing is scheduled for August 24 at 10 a.m. The charge of attempted embezzlement over $50 is a felony punishable by five years in prison, a fine of $2,500, or both. IN OTHER Circuit Court action: Billy Lee Chamberlain. 17 1777 Ottawa Trail, plead not guilty Friday to charges of burning of personal property over $50, unlawfully driving away a motor vehicle, and receiving and concealing stolen property in excess of $100. All are felony charges. Pre-trial for Chamberlain is set for August 13. A plea agreement was entered for John W. Eastman, Route 3, Tupper Lake Rd., Lake Odessa, in connection with two counts of criminal sexual conduct. Eastman, 39, stood mute on two counts of first degree criminal sexual conduct, and pleaded guilty to two counts of second decree criminal sexual conduct. Each of the last two counts is punishable by 15 years in prison. Eastman's bond was continued. His sen­ tencing is set for August 24 at 10 a.m. Sunday morning fire destroys Keller Rd. home An investigation is under way into the cause of a fire that ripped through an Orangeville Township residence early Sunday morning. Ron Hermenitt, Orangeville fire chief, says firefighters battled flames for five hours, but still couldn’t save the Lawrence Drewyor Jr. residence. 11333 Keller Rd.. The 12:45 a.m. fire totally destroyed Drewyor's two-story home. Damage is estimated at $100,000 for the home, and $55,000 for its contents. Hermenitt says the investigation into the fire’s cause is being carried out by a fire marshall from Lansing arid an official from the Wayland State Police Post. Units from Pine Lake and Martin assisted in fighting the blaze. One ballot leaves voters confused A four-year-old township ballot has left many Irving Township residents confused as to the nature of an upcoming millage renewal. The ballot, submitted to and run in the Banner last week, read “Shall the limitation on the total amount of taxes which may be assessed against all properly in Irving Township. Barry County, Michigan, be in­ creased as provided by law, by .15 percent (one and one half mill) of the assessed valuation, as equalized, of all property in said Irving Township. Barry County, Michigan, for a period of four (4) years, the years of 1983-1986. al) inclusive, for the purpose of providing funds to allow said Irving Township to provide fire and am­ bulance protection for said Township?" The ballot should read that the proposal is a renewal, not an increase. Shelbyville boy killed in mishap Marcus Torres, 7, son of Mr and Mrs. Domingo Torres of Rt 1, 2nd St., Shelbyville, was killed Wednesday when the bicycle he was riding swerved into the path of a vehicle driven by his uncle, Jamie Torres, 30, of 122nd St, Shelbyville. According to the Wayland Slate Police post, the accident occurred at 9:30 p.m. in front of the boy’s home. Torres was pronounced dead at the scene. �The Hastings Banner.

This spring, summer and fail, one could fish, power boat and water ski as well as swim. I for one will invest another $100 to keep up the chemical treatment. One should realize that without t‘.e lake association acting as our only vehicle, this chemical treatment would never have been accomplished. I urge you to join. I am pledging another donation of $100 for a 1983 chemical application for two reasons. One, to enhance the value of my lakeside property, and two, to retain the beauty and the use of our lake, which I love. Anyone involved with the lake knows I was very much against a draw down for the last three years, as a method of weed control. State literature Informed that a draw down actually increased weed growth. However, 1 go along with the draw down group for this year in that a draw down this late fall will allow cleaning of weed debris on our shores, will allow for stump removal, will save the more flimsy docks from having to be repaired in the spring, and finally, the floating algae “nvy” be winter-killed. Otherwise put. I’m for a draw down ‘‘this fall only”, to allow the above repairs, etc. to be done, provided we again have a thorough chemical treatment this spring. Donald Putnam PUBLIC OPINION: ........ THIS WEEK’S SPECIAL: The right to vote is basic in a democracy. What do you think of the fact that less than 50 percent of the people vote in general elections and even smaller numbers turn out for a primary election? Why don’t people vote? Should the laws be changed to force people to vote more often? Workers are finding the drain behind the fairgrounds to be clogged with decades worth of peat sediment.

Wendell Strickland Lee Tracy of Hastings says people have lost faith in the voting process. “They think people are going to be elected no matter what, and feel that their vote just doesn't make any difference.” Tracy also says people shouldn’t be forced to vote. ‘‘I don't think people should be forced to vote,” says John Byers of Middleville. “Normally, if I don’t vote, it's because I don't like the candidates...I think that most individuals believe that their votes don't count, it’s all fixed anyway." Unfamiliarity with the candidates is the reason Mrs. Howard Moma of Hastings doesn't always vote. “I would like to know them better, but just what I read in the paper is all I know." She says the laws should force people to vote, "because how else could you get who you need if you don't vote?" Les Haskin of Hastings thinks its too confusing for most people to vole. "Voting systems should be standardized in order to increase voter familiarity with the system.” says Haskin. Instead of forcing people to vote through legislation, society should "instill the need to vote in high school students”, and educate the general public more on the voting process. Wendell Strickland, chairman of the Barry County Republicans, says the primary election is for "those persons interested in party, and party candidates. The primary is not for non-party affiliated persons." Strickland says a small primary turnout should be expected. As to why people don't vote in the general election, it's because people feel "unsure of the candidates”, says Strickland. He says the answer to a larger turnout is a return to the old caucus system. He adds that he "doesn't wish to live in a country where people are forced to vote.” "I don't think you should force people to vole, because then you’re getting into something else. It's more regimented," says Muryl Foreman of Hastings. Why don’t people vole? "Because they have too many irons on the fire.” says Foreman, "They got to go here, they got to go there, they got to go to the lakeshore." "There's too many people in the primary," says George Mills, "It's just clogged with Democrats and Libertarians." Mills says he makes it a point to make it to “every darn election", but says most people don't vote because "they have something else on their minds." He adds that he would like to see one general election, with no primaries, and a unicameral legislature. ‘It's always easy for a person to say ‘I'll let the other guy handle it, the other guy will vote and 1 don't have to.’" says Rob Kruko of Hastings. "If things don't go the way you would like them to. it's really easy to criticize and complain about it." �The Hostings Bonner, Thursday, August 5, 1982 — Page 3 ^Iddeddings and Engageme nts: Cynthia Thomas and Henry Yarbrough unite in marriage Mrs. Sally CorSette of Hastings is very plroud to announce the marriage of her daughter, Cynthia Ann, to Henry Yarbrough of Hinesville, Ga.

ASTINGS West State at Broadway Member FDIC All Deposits Insured up to *100,000 �I he Hastings Banner. Thursday. August 5, 1982 — Page 4 Libertarian Jacobs seeks governor’s post by Ken Keibel Though neither a Republican nor a Democrat, Dick Jacobs wants to be Michigan's next governor. "There’s a lot of rhetoric out there about what everyone is going to do, and that's mostly what it is, is rhetoric," says Jacobs. "I'm (he only candidate that's spent $2,000 of his own money to research, write and cir­ culate this amendment to our state consitution.” Jacob's amendment would do three things: reduce the state income tax by about 15 percent, repeal the small business tax, and let the people of Michigan decide every future tax issue. He also supports: — A reduction in the number of state employees and a freeze on their salaries. — The introduction of privately-run courts. — Legalization of all drugs, from marijuana to heroin. — The right to have an abortion (although Jacobs labels himself as pro-life, and would never approve of state funding of abortions 1. — Laws to protect air and water, with the job of compliance turned over to private industrial and citizen watchdog groups. — The ultimate transfer of all social services and regulatory functions of government to the private sector. — Using the state prison sytem only for murderers, armed robbers and rapists, and making restitution a mandatory part of sentencing in such crimes as robbery. Bob Welborn banks on experience The 43-year-old Grand Blanc businessman has refused to accept any contributions from special interest groups. His feeling about government subsidies of any form are so strong that he would not sign a low-interest, government-back loan for his college-age daughter. The 11-year-old Libertarian Party is the only third party in modern America to place a presidential candidate on the ballot in all 50 states. Jacobs has said his philosophy is straight from Monticello, embodying the Jef­ fersonian idea of "protecting our right rather than violating them." The gist of Jacobs’ campaign is his plan to cut taxes and state government spending. He is a veteran of two Tisch tax-cut campaigns. Jacobs is a 1962 graduate of Central Michigan University. He is an active member of the First Congregatonal Church in Grand Blanc, a guest columnist for the community newspaper, an activist for the National Taxpayers Union, and a member of the Libertarian Party’s State Central Committee. Richard Jacobs by Ken Reibel Robert Welborn, Republican candidate for 13th District State Senate, is calling himself "the only experienced person running in the district." Welborn's first elected office came in 1972 on the Kalamazoo County Board of Com­ missioners. In 1974, he was unanimously elected chairman by fellow commissioners. However. Welborn never completed that term, as he was elected state representative from the 47th district later that year in a special election. Presently in his fifth House term, Welborn, 54, is a member of the House Appropriations Committee, and also serves on the sub­ committees for higher education and transportation andjoint capital outlay. In the past, he has served on the House Committees for Economic Development and Energy, Mental Health, Towns and Counties, In­ surance, Veteran’s and Military Affairs, Colleges and Universities, Liquor Control and Labor. "Some of the people sent to Lansing take two years to learn where the bathrooms are." says Welborn, "Over the time I have been in Lansing, I have worked out a relationship with different departments.” Welborn claims to have wide support, including the Michigan Township Mrs. Harriet Helen Anspaugh, 82, of Hastings, died Tuesday evening, Augusta, at Pennock Hospital, following a lengthy illness.

One thing Michigan must correct in order to recover financially is the small business tax, according to Welborn. "The backbone of this country is small business. We can no longer say ’as goes General Motors, so goes the state of Michigan', because we can see what's happened to General Motors, and we can see what’s happened to Michigan." He calls ‘he small business tax "unfair", and says "Consequently, we will have to take a look at the single business tax...it taxes a person in a loss situation." Welborn has solidly opposed abortion during his eight years in the House. 'Star­ ting this campaign, I have let it be known that I have not changed my mind, that I am still pro life "The majority of the constituents in my district believe that, because if they haven’t believed that they wouldn’t have kept me in office” Welborn is also involved in agriculture, and calls for more research and develop­ ment in that area.

We would not dream of going to a strange place without consulting a map of the area, yet we fail to realize that those glittering constellations form a celestial compass that could rescue us on some moonless night and even tell us the approximate time, according to the season: as they wheel ever westward across the firm­ ament. This nocturnal procession deserves a little study, for even if you can recognize only the Big Dipper as it revolves around the sta­ tionary Polaris, you will know that you are then facing north. Also, learn at your House of Worship that those moving star patterns are but a shining example of God's love, displayed in so many ways throughout the universe.

And its upon our youth that the freedom of America will depend. Dale Sprik for Congress Aug 10 Democrat rt *or#rFr<e*4*ofOai«lor>« �There are literally millions of dollars worth of antiques and objects of art lost in fires and theft every year because they were not covered by antique or fine arts in­ surance. People think they can't afford special insurance for these items, when in reality, they can’t afford not to have it. The beautiful old Eastlake bedroom suite with marble top dresser and commode, so cherished because it was Grandma's, could be reduced to ashes in minutes by fire. Even though it’s listed on your general household insurance, it would be considered just an 'old” bedroom set and would be depreciated 50 percent. Antique value on every item in your home increases yearly. Many people just take it for granted that when they are listed under household contents, all is well. Antique and fine arts insurance not only covers each piece in case of fire, but for theft and breakage as well The way to determine whether an antique or collectable piece is worth insuring, is to research the current value of it. If you can afford to lose that amount, then don’t insure it — but remember — it's worth more with each passing year. Some antiques gain in value as much as $100 annually. When you do decide to carry special in­ surance on your valuables, each piece of furniture, china, glass, jewelry, all oriental rugs, pictures, paintings, and every collectable item must be listed, described and priced. Each piece must be appraised by a knowledgeable dealer who will place the current year’s value on it. When you commission a dealer to appraise these items, always tell him it’s an insurance appraisal. If you don't specify the purpose, he may quote you a lesser worth, hoping to someday have a chance to buy it from you. As I told you in my column on antique dealers, they will only pay about half the value, or less when purchasing an antique. They must buy for less to realize a profit when reselling. You may have to make inquiries of several insurance companies to be covered for all perils, which includes breakage. Most people never have a home fire or theft, but there’s always a chance of damage by breakage. If you carry special insurance, it's foolish not to be covered for all perils. There are in­ surance companies in Hastings who provide complete coverage. The cost of antique and fine arts insurance is not as expensive as you might think. Coverage in the amount of $26,500 for fine arts (antique lamps, clocks, wall tapestries, furniture, jewelry and collectables, etc.) costs approximately $43 annually, with no deductible. Breakage of fine arts, above, and antique china and glass, dolls, etc., costs just $17 annually for $10,500 coverage, with no deductible. Of cour se, any lesser value total would cost less. It’s wise, as an added precaution, to take a picture of each item to be insured. It’s less expensive to group the items into one photo, but not so many that each piece cannot be clearly visable. Keep the photos in a safe place along with your insurance policy. This way, you not only have a listing and description, but photos as well. Antique insurance on an item is good only when it's on your properly. If Aunt Tillie says the rolltop desk she has will someday be yours, it cannot be insured with your belongings until she iets you take it home. If you have an antique wicker porch set out­ side. and it's stolen, it’s fully covered by insurance if listed on the special antique policy. Antique value should be upgraded every one or two years as they gain in monetary value rapidly. For instance, I bought a beautiful oak Larkin desk from an antique shop in 1978 for $125. Now, three and one-half ■ year^ later, it's valued at M25. The rarity and scarcity of an item makes it more valuable money-wise. The rarer the item, the faster the appreciation. No antiqiie or true collectable ever depreciates. According to government standards, a true antique is at least 100 years old. However, in today's world, we thirst for the old and beautiful handcrafted items and furniture of even fifty to sixty years ago. These are allowed to be listed as antiques or collector's items. A collectable isn’t usually quite as old as an antique. It can be an item no longer made, or an item made in limited quantities. These are listed as "I'mited edition*' pieces.

Thursday, August 5, 1982 — Page 5 Area Guardsmen return from Alaska Six area members of the Battle Creek Air National Guard recently returned from Eielson Air Force Base, near Fairbanks, Alaska, after completing two weeks of field training. Sergeant John Myers of Caledonia, Sergeant Gary Walkinshaw of Delton, gary Walkinshaw of Delton. Sergeant Gary Gless of Hastings. Sergeant Richard Daly of Hickory Corners. Senior Airman Charles Reid of Nashville and Master Sergeant Ben McNitt of Bellevue, along with 54 other Battle Creek Guardsmen, began their training July 17 and completed training July When they arrived, the Guardsmen were greeted by Lieutenant Colonel R.L. Gott, the Base Civil Engineer. He told them that the base recently got a new mission after acquiring the A-10A "Thunderbolt II” air­ craft. As a result, the base population grew by aobut 800 military personnel with over 3000 military personnel and over 7000 total population on base. The situation put a strain on all of the base's facilities, many of which had to be quickly expanded or updated. The con­ struction season in Alaska is limited, so approximately 40 of the guardsmen were assigned to various construction jobs on the base. The primary project assigned to the guardsmen was the Bill of Material building, used to store building materials. The guardsmen* installed insulation, covered unused doorways, put on wall coverings, lowered and framed the ceilings, and finished the inside. The purpose of all of the, work was to make the building more energy efficient, which is important as the tem­ perature in the area can drop as low as -70 degrees F. Sergeant Myers, assigned to,Water and Waste, operated an erdlator, which is a field water purification unit used to provide sanitary water to troops in the field. Myers said the erdlator, which can purify swamp water, is not available at the Battle Creek base. In a news release from the Battle Creek Air National Guard. Major Phil Dimitry said he was pleased with the heavy equipment training his personnel received. "My operators had access to equipment that we don't have, including a front-end loader, dozer, grader, and a 'Sheeps Foot' roller that is used to pack down the ground. One of our missions is to be able to make a Rapid Runway Repair’ (RRR) in the event that an existing runway is damaged in a hostile environment. By giving more per­ sonnel training on this equipment we will be better able to accomplish our mission if called upon," he sa 1. For evening and w •. kend recreation, the t.uardsmen visited nearby Mount McKinley, the highest point on the North American continent. A few also tried their hands at panning for gold, but none "struck it rich". On July 31, the guardsmen returned aboard a C-130 aircraft to the Battle Creek base.

By Elaine Gilbert Controversy over the naming of a little road in Thornapple Township has kicked up some dust lately, but when it settles a group from the Middleville-Caledonia area hope to have a fitting tribute to a man whose generosity touched many. The dea to honor the late Birge Thomas by naming a road after him seemed like a nice thing to do for such a fine fellow, said Howard Baragar who is spearheading the effort. Thomas, a bachelor who loved children, died in December of 1978 but memories of the man remain alive in the hearts of those who knew him. "Birge was the type of individual who would give you the shirt off his back,” said Baragar. Although Birge never attended college himself, he made it possible for about eight teenagers to attended college. Without Thomas’ help the youth could not have af­ forded to obtain a higher education, he relates. "The only stipulation Thomas made on the recipient of his generosity was at some future date the loan was to be repaid in order to offer the same opportunity to other teenagers, said Baragar. A scholarship fund started by Thomas still exists at Thomapple Kellogg High School, he said. Others extol Thomas' friendliness and the way he always welcomed teens and adults to his home which became a popular meeting place. Many youth gratefully remember obtaining summer jobs on his farm, near the road Baragar hoped to name in Thomas’ memory. Opposition to the planned tribute to Thomas didn't crop up until after the new road sign was in place. That was several days before the Barry County Road Com­ mission was set to take final action to of­ ficially label the unnamed gravel road after Birge Thomas. The road, commonly called Stimpson Spur, is approximately a three-fourths of a mile long and located off Stimpson Road, between Parmalee and Garbow roads. Baragar said the only family residing on the road opposed having the new road name. Betty Huttenga said she and her husband opposed naming the road after Thomas but think that he was "nice person. "I just didn’t think it was a fitting memorial to Birge to name our road after him...it’s a dead end road that leads right up to our house,” said Mrs. Huttenga. Freeport District Library News: The Summer Reeling Program is over for this summer. We have had a great time We have been following the Yellow Brick Road for a month. The children made a few stops along their way. They stopped at Scarecrow Garden, they had to read five books to get there. They ventured on down the road to Tin Woodsman Orchard, Lions Den, and Oz’s Castle. They had to read a total of 20 books to arrive at Oz’s Castle. In order to get back home they had to read ten more books. So to complete the trip and arrive back home was a total of 30 books. The best part was they received surprise gifts at each slop. We know these children did their best, because they read a total of 486 books. We have two lop winners, 1st thru 4th grades Shawn Blough, read 90 books. 5th thru 8th grades Annette Blough, read 57 books. Congratulations Annette and Shawn and every child that participated in our program. You all did a great job. We will be having cake and punch for all children in the program. Come to the Freeport Ball Park Aug. 12, at 1 p.m. You will receive your Yellow Brick Awards, and Trophies. We will also have a ball game, please bring your bats and balls. We would like to thank Rosemary and Lane Cooper, Donna Ritchie, Lee Anne Christie and Patsy Yarger for donating their time in helping make this program a suc­ cess. Hastings student on MSU honors list Julie McMellen of 767 N. Airport Rd., Hastings, was one of 501 students to achieve a 4.0 or“straight A" average during the spring term at Michigan State University. We’re Correction: A story in the July 29 Banner referred to George and William Leonard of the Memorial Funeral Home in Freeport as morticians. However, it was revealed to the Banner this week by an official of the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulation that they are technically not morticians, but only working toward state licensure as mortuary science licensees. Also, the last paragraph of the article should have read "Charles H. and Charles M. Leonard owned the former Leonard Funeral Home on S. Jefferson That establishment is now known as the Leonard, Osgood and Wren Funeral Home." Ready When A road sign to commenorole the memory of Birge Thomas Rd. was in place only a few days before it was removed because of controversy, but friends of Thomas are spearheading a petition drive to hove another road named after him or a piece of property dedicated to his memory. Looking at the sign is Ronald Lear engineer-manager of the Barry County Road Commission. (Bann.r photo. She said part of her opposition stems from "the fact that we were not consulted in any way. We just came home one day and saw the road sign." Mrs. Huttenga said half of the road is a private road and with the new name and sign, "it would be assumed to be a county road. "This had been my great grandparents home," said Mrs. Huttenga. She had wanted to name the road Bass, after her pioneer family but was told that a Bass Road already existed in the county. Mrs. Huttenga said she currently uses the name of the adjacent Stimpson Road for her address. She also noted that neighbors sympathize with her family’s position and also feel a more fitting tribute could be made to Thomas. "Birge Thomas was such a sweet man and I knew he would not like this controversy so I thought it was best to drop the matter and find another way of honoring him, said Baragar. He says that over 40 petitions are cir­ culating in the community to ask the township board and county commissioners to commemorate Thomas’ memory by naming another road or other suitable property in his honor. "I don’t want people to think this is my push — it’s not — it’s a community push,' said Barager. Maple Valley School Dist. tax hearing set In the early stages of seeking to name Stimpson Spur after Thomas, Barager had collected testimonial letters from persons who had endorsed the idea because of their high regard for Thomas. In addition, Barager had submitted the idea to Barry County Commissioner James Gordon who took the matter to the county board which approved having the road commission name the road after Thomas. The Thornapple Township Board also had gone on record as having no objections to naming the road in Thomas’ memory, said clerk Donna Kenyon. She said the board’s action was an advisory opinion to the county road commission which has tlie authority to name roads. After learning that the Huttengas objected to plans to name the road after Thomas, Baragar said he felt "disheartened,” but is optimistic now that a more significant memorial can be selected. "People in the community are interested and want something done,” he said noting that the Thornapple Heritage Association and the Barry County Historical Society are in favor of commemorating Thomas’s memory too. Baragar said he plans to present the petitions requesting recognition of Thomas to the township and county boards sometime in September. working americans “I always thought working american.

Barry County. Michi­ gan. by the regulation of noise within said Township and to pre­ scribe the penalties far the vio­ lation thereof. THE TOWNSHIP OF HOPE BARRY COUNTY. MICHIGAN ORDAINS: SECTION I TITLE. This Ordinance shall be known ond cited as the Township Anti Noise ond Public Nuisance Ordinance. SECTION II DEFINITIONS. The following terms used in this Ordinance are defined os follows: "Decibel" is a unit used fa ex­ press the magnitude of sound pressure and sound intensity. The difference in decibels be­ tween two sound pressures is 20 times the common logarithm of their ratio. In sound pressure measurements. the sound pressure level of a given sound is defined to be 20 times thecommon logarithm of the ratio of that sound pressure to o reference pressure of 2 x 10-5N /m2 (Newtons per meter squaied). As on example of the effect .of this formula, a 3 decibel change in the sound pressure level corresponds to o doubling or halving of the sound intensity, and a 10 decibel change corresponds to a 10 fold increase or decrease to l/IOth the former intensity. "dB(AJ" means the sound pressure level in decibels measwied on the "A" scale of o standard sound level meter having characteristics defined by the American National Stan­ dards Institute, Publication ANSISI.4-1971.

Thursday. August 5. 1982 — Page 8 Hastings woman honored by OSAS Students participate in CETA summer youth career exploration program — and they get paid too! Thirty Hastings students, ages 14-15, are spending part of the summer learning about choosing careers, and while they are lear­ ning. they are getting paid for it. The students, who receive $3.35 an hour minimum wage, are participating in a summer youth career exploration program. The program, held July 28-Aug 31, is spon­ sored by the Mid-Counties Employment and Training Consortium and operated by the Hastings School District. Sally Fullerton, program director, ex­ plains what the program does. “The program focuses on self-awareness and career exploration," she says. "We started the kids on a career search, to find a career matching their interests and abilities. The kids did their own research on their chosen careers to find cut more about them. We try to give them as much positive rein­ forcement along the way as we can.” The students are guided and instructed by Jack Longstreet and Steve Kaiser, and by aides Heidi Spindler and Jeff Guenther. Fullerton says one goal of the program is to help the students get the most of their high school education. “We feel they will be able to make better choices when choosing subjects in school if they know what they want to do after they graduate." Some of the activities the students have participated in include a one week computer literacy training program, for which they perceive certificates of completion. The students have also received cer­ tificates after completing a CPR (caruiopulminary resuscitation) course. "We’ve had two speakers," says Fullerton. "Syd Dulaney spoke to the kids about solar energy and conservation work a..d John Lerg from the Department of Natural Resources spoke to them about environmental careers. We also plan to have a speaker come in on Friday to talk to them about unions and union membership." The students have gone on field trips to the Instructors Steve Kaiser and Jack Longstreet discuss salaries and paychecks during Wednesday's class session. John Lerg from the DNR discusses environmental career opportunities. Upjohn Co. of Kalamazoo, the Kellogg Community College technical training center and the Fisher Body plant in Grand Rapids. They plan to visit the Bradford White Corp, in Middleville on Thursday. Another activity planned for the students Tammy Wagner and Sue Purdey work at a computer terminal during the computer literacy training program. this week is a "shadow apprenticeship". Each student will go visit with a person who works in a particular field that interests the student. The students will be visiting local businesses during this part of the program.

Carmody says the state needs to recognize “a greater obligation for funding for education at all levels." but also calls for improvement in teacher training, professional development and a re evaluation of the organizational structure of school districts. Mismanagement and inefficiency, Car­ mody says, are to blame for Michigan’s current plight. He says what is needed noware "people with leadership abilities who are willing to take on some hard issues.” "Some key factors, such as interest rates and the federal deficit are beyond the state’s immediate control. The factors the state can influence must be changed swiftly and decisively," says Carmody. He says those factors include increasing capital for businesses, increasing farm production, grants for inventors and the promotion of high technology within the state. Carmody was bom in Marquette and grew up in Munising. He received his bachelors by Ken Reibel William Carmody says he is carrying the message of moderate Republicans in his quest for the 13th District State Senate seat. Carmody, 35. says he is running because he is "concerned about the ultra-conservative, negative attitude about this state, represented by one of the candidates from this district.” Carmody faces Robert Welborn from Kalamazoo in the August 10 primary. "New faces and more positive thinking people are needed in state government," says Carmody, "The answers to our problems do not lie in the maintenance of the most liberal programs of the past nor the radical right that would have us dismantle government. “If this reduction refects government selecting a smaller range of services to perform, it is not necessarily bad. A more efficient and select set of services by government should result in a higher priority on those functions that government chooses ELECT JERRY BULLARD REPRESENTATIVE PROMOTE MICHIGAN JOBS Regional Meat Packing Plant Soybean Processing Plant Hard Cheese Processing Plant Fertilizer Facilities Robotics Microbiology Communications Tourism Mining Forestry Oil & Gas Repeal Single Business Tax Reduce Over-Regulation Fight for Crime Control - Not Gun Control Work for on Equitable Tax System for Our Schools Workfare - Not Welfare Reduce Waste, Fraud and Overpayments in Social Programs Eliminate Automatic Utility Increases VOTE AUGUST 10th Paid for by.

This was the scend of three statewide prevention education campaigns being conducted in 1982. Ms.Dunk was responsible for disseminating information through the media. She also made information available to the public through a booth at the fair and furnished physicians with information. The campaign, which ran through May and June, focused on helping women avoid problems with alcohol by discouraging heavy drinking, demonstrating and rein­ forcing refusal skills and reminding women that its socially okay to refuse a drink. Participation by many statewide local and private sector goups (including endorsement and participation by many statewide women’s organizations) has resulted in activities such as workshops, exhibits, distribution of materials, demonstrations, individual education and advocacy of public policy issues. Locally sponsored radio and TV public service announcements were also used in the campaign. The last of the three campaigns, which is the Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) Cam­ paign, will take place during August and September. This final campaign will focuse on making women aware of the dangers of drinking during pregnancy and the effect it can have on an unborn child. The first campaign focused on Youth and Alcohol.

SOLID WASTE PLANNING COMMITTEE �The Hostings Bonner, Thursday, August 5, 1982— Page 9 Look what we found Ducks Unlimited banquet set for September 2 Everybody was a Tiger fan back then by Greg Johnson “Everybody was a Tiger fan back then," Richard Cook, a former owner of the Banner offered. The 1934 Detroit Tigers, winners of the American League pennant and lasers in the World Series, are still around—on a dusty cabinet that is part of The Hastings Banner history. Banner employees found pictures of the former Tigers on a cabinet that is now being used by the current owners of the Banner, JAd Graphics Inc., of Hastings Names like Schoolboy Rowe, Hank Greenberg and Charlie Gehringer indicated to the Banner baseball fans that the newsprint pictures (glued, pasted, or something) on the side of the cabinet were “a bunch of former Tigers”. Cook said he has no idea who put the pic­ tures on the cabinet. “That was a long time ago, I don’t recall," he said. George "Buzz" Youngs, a former editor of the Banner, who started with the Banner in 1946, said it was before his time. "1 don’t remember ever seeing it,” he said. Finding the Tigers on the side of the cabinet prompted furthur investigation by curious members of the Banner staff. The guesses were obvious. “It is an all time Tiger team,” was quickly put to rest because Ty Cobb was not in­ cluded. “It was the last Tiger team to reach the World Series before the 68 Tigers." That was the best guess and the one that finally led to the 1934 group. With the fourth edition of “The Baseball Encyclopedia” in hand, the names on the side of the cabinet came to life. Everybody from slick fielding shortstop Charlie Gehringer, who hit .356 that year, to George “Icehouse" Wilson, who had his entire baseball career of one unsuccessful at bat that season, was tracked down. Finding Wilson and the year 1934 in the “complete all-time roster" of the Tigers was final confirmation of which Tiger team the group belonged to. In all 26 people are on the side of the cabinet and many of the names were nard to decipher. For instance, we didn’t have much to go on when all we could pick-up from one picture was a pair of quote marks and the "Wil" part of a last name. It turned out to be “Icehouse” Wilson. In the end we learned a lot about one of the ____ ploAyerM“ckw C^hro^^Hon^G^h?'' 'PL'" ?bine'' riT°ls 1934 WalkerXt^Fo,Bo?it^ (middS’GeDhnn9eTr' B|" R°9eNFischer Chief Hoosett Luke Hamlin Vir kins.

Cy Per(Banner photo) great Tiger teams of all time. Mickey Cochran, a Tiger from 34 to 37, was the player-manager that season. He hit .320, knocked in 76 runs and led the team to a pennant with a 101-53 record, seven games better than the New Yuk Yankees. That year saw Lou Gehrig of the Yankees win the triple crown with a .363 batting average, 49 homeruns and 165 runs batted in. He took some of die limelight away from Babe Ruth who had 22 homers and 84 runs batted in. But that was for the second place Yankees. The first place Tigers, with a team batting average of .300, lost to the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series in 1934. Dizzy and Paul Dean led the Cards to a four games to three victory. Many members of the 34 Tigers were still around the next year however, when the Tigers defeated the Chicago Cubs four games to two for the World Cham­ pionship. Hank Greenberg, a Tiger from 1930 to 1941, then off to the war until 45, was the regular first baseman for the Tigers in 1934. He was among the league leaders in homeruns with 26, batting average .339, and runs batted in with 139. Charlie Gehringer, a Tiger from 1924 to 42, manned second base. His .356 batting average was second in the league, and he led the league in hits with 214. Bill Rogell, a Tiger from 1930 to 39, was the shortstop. He hit .296 in 1934 and had 519 assists from his position. Marv Owen, a Tiger from 1931 to 37 handled hot corner duties. He was a 317 hitter that season with 96 runs batted in Pete Fox, a Tiger from 1933 to 40, was the right fielder. He hit .285 with 45 runs batted in for the season. He also swiped 25 bases one of three Tigers in the top five in the league in that category. Joyner Clifford "Jo Jo" White, a Tiger from 1932-38, patroled center field. He was a .313 hitter, had 44 runs batted in and collected 28 stolen bases, good for second in the league Goose Goslin, a Tiger from 1934-37, was the left fielder. Goose was one of the six starting Tigers with a .300 average. He hit .305, slugged 13 homers and drove in 100 runs. The pitching staff was led by a pair of 20 game winners and two 15 game winners in 1934. Schoolboy Rowe, a Tiger from 1933-42, won 24 that season and Tom Bridges, a Tiger from 1930 to 46, won 22 games. The two 15 game winners were Eldon Auker, a Tiger from 1933 to 38, and Fred "Firpo” Marberry a Tiger from 1933 to 35. While the batting averages were higher back in 1934, so were the earned run averages. Rowe with a 3.45 ERA and Bridges with a 3.67 were among the league leaders. Vic Sorrell, a Tiger from 1928 to 37, and Carl Fischer, a Tiger from 1933-35, each won six games rounding out the main part of the staff. Others that pitched some for the Tigers that year included Luke Hamlin, Chief Hogsett, and Al "General" Crowder. Two other Tigers that saw a lot of action in 1934 were Gee Walker, a Tiger from 31 to 37, and Ray Hayworth, a Tiger from 26-38. Walker, an outfielder, hit .300 in 347 at bats and knocked in 39 runs. Hayworth, a catcher, hit .293 in 167 at bats and knocked in 27 runs' Heinie Schuble, a Tiger from 1929 to 35, Rudy York, a Tiger from 1934 to 45, Herman “Flea” Clifton, a Tiger from 1934 to 37, Cy Perkins, a Tiger in 1934 and Frank Doljack, a Tiger from 1930 to 34, rounded out the roster of infielders and outfielders. They all saw limited playing time. Del Baker, a player from 1914 to 16, and a Tiger manager in 1933 and then again from 1938 to 42, must have served as a coach. His picture was with the group, but a listing of the coaches could not be located. A call to the Tigers public relations office did not confirm his status. The “Tiger" cabinet, complete with the pictures, houses the addresses of Banner subscribers. Majors will make or break For the Hastings Majors, Battle Creek City League play has come down to three games. The are deadlocked with Bole Oil at 9-10 in fifth place, the final playoff spot. "The next three games will make it or break it,” Coach Bob Holley said today. Bole Oil’s 11-3 win over the Battle Creek Rebels Wednesday, fashioned the tie. On Tuesday the Majors lost an 8-0 battle with undefeated Ferrari (18-0), who sewed up their second consecutive league cham­ pionship and the right to host the Stan Musial World Series. The Majors return to the field tonight to play the Battle Creek Astros (14-5). “The schedule favors them a little I guess," Holley said. "But we have been Playing good ball. We won’t lay down.” The Majors have won seven of the last nine games, but that didn't phase powerful Ferrari on Tuesday. Twelve of the first 15 batters for Ferrari reached base and seven of them scored. Dann Howitt (0-1) was the losing pitcher for the Majors. Greg Gielarowski collected the only two hits for Hastings.

Whitelock says that Michigan’s high taxes are a "direct result of too much state government, irresponsible overspending, and total mismanagement of our state budget." As a member of the state senate, Whitelock has vowed to "always vote against any at­ tempt to create new taxes, or to increase the rate or base of any existing tax." Whitelock places the blame for Michigan’s economic plight equally on Republicans and Democrats. "In the past 30 years, the Republicans and Democrats in Lansing have imposed 12 new taxes upon us — eight under Republican administrations, and four under the Democrats. During those same years, they have continually increased many of those same taxes. He says he is running for State Senate because, as an independent businessmen, he is "fed up with the process in Lansing, whereby our government overtaxes, over­ spends, and overregulates." He says hundreds of factories and businesses have been driven out of the state by professional poiticians, "which has been a great cuase of the high unemployment rate we now have." Whitelock says he has spent more time trying to get things done in Lansing in the last three years "than the people who are paid to be there. "But it has been a complete exercise in futility, so I decided to run.” Whitelock say he supports Libertarian Gubernatorial Candidate Dick Jocobs’ stand on the single business tax and the disman­ tling of many government functions. "What we have to do, in order to create jobs, is to create incentives. We can’t do that by ridiculous advertising campaigns, and spending millions of the taxpayers dollars telling how good Michigan is, because we know what we’ve got here," says Whitelock. Dry weather in May is being blamed for a Barry County wheat crop that is poor in quality and low in yield. "Extremely disappointing” is the way one grain elevator operator put iL "A terrific year for weeds", said another. "It looks like 70 to 75 percent of what we took in last year," added a third. Area operators agree that this year’s yield is 20 to 25 percent less than last year, and the quality of the harvest is poor. “The dry weather in the spring didn’t allow the wheat a good start," Lon Smith of Smith Bros. Elevator in Sunfield explained. Deb Drake of Farmers Feed Service in Hastings agreed. “There are a lot of shrunken heads that come from improper maturing," she said. Bill Fox of Citizen’s Elevator in Ver­ montville, said some of the wheat was planted too late in the fall and the weather in May was too dry.

The wheat harvest is winding to a close ana area operators are rating this year's crop poor. Highway - recycling goes into high gear Recycling highways — making new ones out of old — has moved from the ex­ perimental to the commonplace in Michigan. It’s a process now used on more than half of the asphalt paving jobs on the state high­ way system. Until recent years, deteriorated roadways all were resurfaced by placing a new layer of asphalt on top of the old. With recycling, the existing pavement is ground up by huge milling machines, mixed with a quantity of new asphalt, and laid back down again. In appearance and rideability, recycled highways are like new ones. The savings in cost, energy and natural resource^ are substantial. “Recycling is one of the real success stories in the highway industry," said G. J. McCarthy, deputy director for highways m the Michigan Department of Transportation (MOOT). The department’s program began five years ago wth the recycling of 15 miles of 1-75 Freeway in Cheboygan County in northern lower Michigan. Last year, 135 miles of state highways were recycled, by far the most in any construction season and placing Michigan among the top ten states with recycling programs Twenty-five projects are under way this year. McCarthy cites numerous benefits from recycling: ecycling projects averages $18 a ton, about $7 a ton less than in those using all-new asplialt. — The new method makes use of dwindling natural sources, not only the petroleum which forms the base of asphalt materials, but the increasingly scarce gravel and stone aggregates which are part of the mix of materials in the roadway. — Recycling solves the long-standing problem of "reflective cracking" in which cracks in the ok! pavement are reflected upward into the new layer of surfacing material. — By removing the old pavement before laying down new, the heights of curbings and vertical clearances at highway overpasses remain the same. Since the program began in 1977, the transportation department has recycled about one million tons of asphalt on some 480 lane miles of pavement. Many county roads have undergone the same treatment. Airport authorities also are taking ad­ vantage of the new method. Runways of airports at Flint, Iron Mountain and Marquette have been recycled and more projects are planned. Contractors use one of two recycling processes. With "hot recycling”, the ground­ up material is taken for processing to a nearby hot-mix asphalt plant and trucked back to the project for re-laying. The finished pavement is stronger and longer-lasting than those undergoing the "cold-recycling" process in which the used material is crushed at the project site, mixed with a quantity of new asphalt and laid back down. Generally, cold recycling is used on roadway shoulders or in light-traffic areas. Nearly half of the 130 or so asphalt plants in Michigan are capable of recycling asphalt pavement. More are being equipped for it as .

USDA moves to improve school applications To ensure that only eligible children get free and reduced-price meals, parents will be required to provide social security numbers on applications for free and reduced-price meals, the U.S. Deoartment of Agriculture announced recently. The ruling implements provisions of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981, which requires that applicants include the social security number of all household members or an indication that none is available. In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, all State agencies and local School Food Authorities will be required to disclose how the social security numbers will be used and by what authority the information is requested. In addition, the individuals must be informed that the disclosure is required in order for the application to be considered. Prior to the Reconciliation Act, ap­ plications for free and reduced-price meals required only family size and income in­ formation. “The change in the application procedures has been initiated in order to improve the integrity of the school feeding programs." Assistant Secretary Mary C. Jarratt said. "We are very concerned about the potential abuse that can be caused if parents misreport their incomes on free and reducedprice meal applications," she added. To implement the revised application procedures in the beginning of the 1982-83 school year, the regulations will be published interim final. This means they are effective upon publication but USDA will accept comments on the procedures in order to make any necessary changes. Comments should be sent by December 31, 1982 to Sherry Varney at Nashville Co-op Elevator said their firm did not bother to buy wheat. “It looked so bad, we didn't even buy any this year," she said. The average price paid in the county this year was around $3.45 per bushel. Smith said that in the Sunfield area the poor wheat crop could mean about $70 less per acre for the farmers than the average crop would have produced. “It has been a tough harvest,.” he said. The peak of the county harvest was last week. Two of the operators said that the dry weather that was bad for the wheat, will probably mean good things for the corn harvest in late September. "That doesn’t necessaril; mean the far­ mers will make up the money they lost during wheat harvest," Fox cautioned. "The prices will be the key, and right now the projected prices do not look very good.” — NOTICE- Attention: School District Registered Voters!

Abnormal breathing during sleep cpuld cause high blood pressure An interruption in normal breathing patterns during sleep may be a factor in the development of high blood pressure, ac­ cording toa study by California researchers. Adrian J. Williams, M.D., of Wadsworth Hospital and the University of California at Los Angeles, reporting at the recent Annual Meeting of the American Lung Association and its medical section, the American Thoracic Society, said that people who have numerous episodes of breathing cessation for short periods — ten or more seconds — during sleep may be at risk of developing hypertension. Abnormal breathing cessation, or sleep apnea episodes, averaging 20 seconds were observed in 45 percent of 23 randomly selected patients in the Hypertension Clinic at Wadsworth Hospital. "These patients,’’ Dr. Williams said, “had blood pressures of greater than 165 over 95, or were on anti-hypertensive medicines, and had not previously been identified as having sleep apnea syndrome (SAS).” When observed and evaluated over three hours of sleep, he said. 11 patients were found to have sleep-induced apneas and an average of 19 percent of sleep time. "These episodes can cause a drop in the oxygen levels in arterial bloo:*,’’ Dr. Williams said, "and two-thirds of those with abnormal sleep apnea were found to have oxygen level drops that were significant. "We have proposed that SAS may give rise to high blood pressure,” Dr. Williams said. "From here, it will be a matter of studying more patients and developing new ways of treating sleep apnea."

Storms moving through the area Sunday night did scatter the fish but todays reports show them moving back closer to shore with reports as follows: Lake Michigan Fishing: NEW BUFFALO: Success for salmon was slower than usual. However, some action was noted in 120 feet of water from 50 feet down to the bottom. North port nailers were good baits. Few jumbo perch were showing up in 20 to 25 feet of water also some taken trolling for bigger fish in the deeper water. ST. JOSEPH - BENTON HARBOR: Silver J-plugs were taking mostly Kings in the 20 pound class with an occasional steelhead or coho. Best success in 60 to 90 feet of water right near the bottom. Perch success had been fair before the Sunday night storm. SOUTH HAVEN: Good sized kings were hitting in 70 to 80 feet of water, 30 to 60 feet down. J-plugs and Northport nailers both produced good catches. Some perch were starting to show up again off the rocks with pier fishing best only in the morning. SAUGATUCK: Chinook ranging from 18 to 30 pounds were hitting in 70 to 90 feet of water, 45 to 60 feet down. A few lakers in the 6 to 14 pound range were also showing up. A variety of baits were good, such as chartruese and orange V chargers, white and pink stripe Northport nailers and J-plugs in silver, gold and green. Perch were somewhat scattered. Another day should bring them in close again, weather permitting. Inland Lake Fishing: Walleyes and Northern Pike - Kalamazoo River near Saugatuck conUnues to have excellent success on walleyes ranging from 3 to 8 pounds. Best action in deep water from the pier head upstream to Kalamazoo Lake. Northern pike are also responding in Kalamazoo Lake and the Polawatomi.

Johnston grassroots campaign towards November.’' he said. With two Barry County candidates fqcing off for the newly created 88th District seat in the state legislature, Barry County will send its first home-based legislator to Lansing in two decades. Bob Bender. 2998 Wood School Rd.. Hastings easily topped a field of nine Republican candidates to win *his ’ nomination, while Bob Edwards. 3793 Gun Lake Rd., breezed past his single Democratic opponent to a primary victory. Tuesday. They will face off in the Nov. 2. The last state representative who lived in Barry County was Carroll Newton, who served from 1954 to 1964. Bender was just short of capturing 40 percent of the Republican vote, winning 1,115 votes :n Barry County and 636 votes in Ionia County, for a total of 2.973 out of 7,467 cast. The closest Republican was Craig W. Starkweather of Ionia, who surprised many observers by capturing nearly 19 percent of the vote with 1,412. Starkweather, who had not been viewed by many party activists as a leading candidate, captured 20 percent of the Ionia County vote, with 866 and 17 percent of the Barry County vote with 546. Close behind Starkweather was Ronald L. Reisterer of Nashville, who took 782 votes in Barry County and 487 votes in Ionia County, for a 17 percent total of 1.269. Edwards took 70 percent of the total Democratic vote, topping Rod Bergeron of Ionia 2,616 to 1,090. Edwards sailed past Bergeron in Barry County, where he took 1,113 voles against Bergeron’s 400. for almost 74 percent, and did nearly as well in Ionia county, taking nearly 69 percent with 1,503 against 690. “Obviously, we’re pleased with the results.” Bender said. "I don’t think that really there were any big surprises. With the number of candidates in Ionia County, it happened as we anticipated. Those folks split the vote up.” Edwards attributed his yictory to a grassroots campaign. “I am very pleased with the...support I received from Barry and Ionia counties and it g ives me encouragement to continue my Other Republican candidates and their vote totals were (first listing shows Barry County, the second Ionia County and the third shows the total): David Bennett — 194-586-780; Jerry L.

He noted, however, that while working for the Michigan Townships Association, he worked on the Farmland and Open Space Preservation Act, the Right to Farm Act and the Family Farm Develop­ ment Authority Act. Bender, who received a Michigan Farm Bureau endorsement during the primary, said his campaign will also focus on some agricultural ideas. He said he will also discuss the economy, things that can be done to turn it around, and reform of the single business tax. Continued on page 2 Bob Bender Bob Edwards Republicans James H.

Improvements in the Hastings water and sewer system are expected to stop after voters strongly rejected a nine percent hike in rates. Nearly 37 percent of Hastings city voters turned out at the polls during the primary election. Tuesday, to reject (he rate increase* 1,051 against to 323 in favor. “It’s our intention to tighten our belts and go with what the people want and try to live with it,” William Cusack, chairman of the •water and sewer committee of the Hastings City Council, said. Cusack said he expects his committee to recommend a halt to all im­ provement projects until they study how the system stands financially. The rate hike was adopted by the council on May 10 and vetoed by Mayor Kenneth J. Howe the next day. The council, nowever, unanimously overturned Howe's veto at its next meeting. A group of citizens filed petitions in June seeking either a rollback in the rates or a referendum on the increase. The council unanimously moved the issue to the election ballot. “The referendum...should only serve as a reminder to the residents of the city of Hastings as to how important their opinions are in the decision-making process of their town,” Howe said. W’ednesday. “The council should look forward in a positive attitude to receiving more input on issues from their constituents." Council member Mary Lou Gray (Third Ward), a strong supporter of the increase, criticized the leaders of the fight against the incr*- se. “In spite of the numbers,” Mrs. Gray said, it’s not much of a victory to win the battle and lose the war. The saddest part about it is that, with the exception of the mayor, leadership of the opposition isn’t responsible to the electorate for consequences that may follow." Among the leaders of the fight against the increase were Dr Kingsley Bennett and Sandra Brace. Mrs. Gray and others have said that if the system’s budget shows a deficit, the bon­ dholders have the right to take over operations and levy taxes to keep it in the black. The water and sewer system was financed by a 20 year bond issue which will not be paid off for another 11 years. The councilwoman said, however, that she lias no further plans for action on the rates or the system. "The people spoke." she said. Cusack said that the council will possibly curtail improvements in some of the smaller, older pipes that had been marked for replacement on a long term program. "There are absolutely no hard feelings on the part of any councilman, at least not on my part," he said. "I understand the economic stituation.” He said that the only reason the rate hike proposed was on the recommendation of the city engineer to keep the system operating as it had in the past. “I ftlt that it was necessary to maintain a good water system," Cusack continued, “but we’ll put it on hold." First Ward voters rejected the hike 283 to 77. In the Second Ward, the vote was 213-45. Third Ward voters cast their ballots 242-66 and the Fourth Ward turned down the hike 272-116. Absentee ballots went 41 against and 22 in favor. The rate hike would have increased the minimum quarterly bill from $22.50 to $24.50. Suspects arrested for multiple break-ins Hastings City policd were in the process of rounding up one adult and three juveniles Thursday morning in connection with at least four local business break-ins over the past week. Gordon Trick, Hastings deputy chief of police, said break-ins at the Rapid Quick Stop, Wash King. Re-Creation Center and South Michigan Laundromat were probably pulled off by the same gang. Thieves hit the Rapid Quick Stop, 1335 N. Broadway, and the Wash King laundromat, 121 E. Woodlawn, late Tuesday night. At Rapid Quick, thieves entered by prying open a door. Taken were three beer taps, a quarter barrel of beer, 15 cartons of cigarettes, 300 Bic lighters, one case of beer, and the store’s entire stock of smoking paraphenalia — altogether, over $1,300 worth of merchandise. Thieves also entered the Wash King by prying open a door. An undetermined amoun' of change was taken in that incident. Dual break-ins were reported, August 4 at the Re-Creation Center, 142 E. State St., and the South Michigan Laundromat, 607 S. Michigan. '• Thieves used pry bars at the Re-Creation Center to get at $400 worth of change in eight of ten machines, causing $500 worth of damage in the process. Entry was ap­ parently gained through a window. Approximately $225 in change was stolen from the South Michigan Laundromat. A pry bar was apparently used to enter a window, and then pry open two vending machines and a bill changer. Sprik wins county, but loses.election DaleSprik, a former Hastings teacher who was a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Congress in the Fifth District, topped his opponent in Barry County, but lost the district-wide election by 1,500 votes. Sprik received 717 votes against 583 for State Sen. Stephen V.Monsma, but gathered only 16,242 votes in the district against 17,769 for Monsma. Sprik defeated Monsma for the nomination in 1980, but lost the election to Rep. Harold Sawyer (R-Rockford). He also ran against Sawyer in 1978, losing by only 1,500 votes. Tuesday, Sprik won all of the areas of the district outside of Grand Rapids and East Grand Rapids, but lost those two key areas. Sawyer, unopposed for the Republican nomination, received 1,958 votes in Barry County. Pre-schoolers “see” how well they “hear” Some of the shy pre-schoolers tried their best to hide behind mom and not lake the hearing and vision tests required by state law. while others like five-year-old Wayne Bowerman of Middleville, considered it a game worthy of undivided attention. Wayne, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Duane Bowerman. 2371 N Yankee Springs Rd., was one of several pre-schoolers taking part in the free vision and hearing tests at the Barry-Eaton District Health Department office in Hastings this week. The tests, under a state public act. are required for all students entering school. Wayne made it easy for technicians Sharyn Mills and Helen Mudry. He knew the answers and he showed no fear of the machines. For the shy children. Ms. Mills and Ms. Mudry had to use their talents of persuasion. Ms. Mudry thrilled them with the machine that made sounds, and Ms. Mills got them interested with pictures of animals. The tests were given on Monday and Tuesday al the Hastings office. The visual test included a look for eye muscle problems and defects. Tone, frequency and decibels of sound were part of the hearing tests. "It is good to find any problems now. and get them corrected before they start school," Ms. Mills said. Woyne Bowerman (left) kept on eye on the little flashlight that Healther Department tech­ nician Sharyn Mills used to hest his eyes �1 The Hostings Bonner. Thursday. August 12. 1982 — Page 2 Primary Election ’82 continued... "We will continue to focus on the record we have in 'ocal government and how we will be in g jod shape to implement some of the changes that are going to be made." Bender said. Ecwards said that he also will be discussing small business taxes and property taxes. "I intend to let everyone know in the campaign that I am a very strong believer in local grass roots government and am op­ posed to regional forms of government that have been a tempted many limes in the legislature." Edwards said He ddded that a major part of his cam­ paign will be that he will make no promises. Bender said that the district is generally considered to be heavily Republican, but Edwards showed in the primary that he will wage an effective campaign. Edwards said that by knocking on doors and talking to people, he believes he can overcome the Republican edge. Man pleads not guilty to resisting arrest Police & Court Beat...

The Hastings Police Department, with the cooperation and assistance of the Hastings Area Chamber of Com­ merce and local businessmen, created a cash reward program a couple years ago called "Silent Observer" to assist local law en­ forcement in solving crimes. This program capable of being used a lot more then it has been. With successful use of the program, we will be able to catch more crooks, and in turn, some citizens will have some extra cash. Any citizen with knowledge of a crime committed or about to he committed should call the Hastings Police Department and identify himself as a Silent Observer if he or she wishes to remain anonymous. If desired by the person giving information, his true name and address may be used. The identification of the Silent Observer is established when the police are called by giving a coded number, such as a social security number, phone or license number backwards, or any number which can be readily recalled by the Silent Observer. The police will then follow standard investigation procedures with the information provided. If a conviction is the direct result of the information provided by the Silent Observer, he is then entitled to a reward. The iocal newspaper will publish the story of the conviction and advise the Silent Observer to call the Hastings Chief of Police using the observer’s coded identification. Confidential arrangements will be made by the Silent Observer Rewards Committee and the Hastings Chief of Police for payment of the reward money, upon determination of eligibility. 'Those ineligible for rewards are law enforcement personnel, employees on duty of affected premises and victims of the crime in question). Some rewards may be worth several hundred dollars. Contributors have already donated over two thousand dollars for use in this program.

"I think people should vote on more issues." says Mike Weyerman of Hastings. He adds that the council and all elected leaders should listen more to the people. "Decisions need to be made on a larger scale.” spys Weyerman. "rather than by a handful of people. Leaders should go into the street and listen to what their constituents are really trying to say." John P. Cahoon, president of the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce, says he thinks the vote shows the people are tired of big government. "I think people want to make more of the decisions concerning tax dollars," he says. "They want to know how the money is spent," Cahoon says more things like the water rates should be decided with Hie ballot "People are generally apathetic.” Dave Haley. Hastings, feels. Kermit Stamm Clifford Andrus "I don't think a one-third vote is saying that much." he says. "It voices more of a frustration at wondering where the money goes George Frith, a village council member in Nashville, says we have to have faith in our government officials to make decisions. "There has to be more than that tonethird) before we change the way we do things," he says. "If the people wanted to make those decisions, there would lx* more of them out voting." Joyce Classic says "Definitely, yes. People should should have a voice in what's going on." She added "people should definitely attend meetings, but a lot of people are not going Iodo that." However. Classic pointed out that that shouldn't take away their right to vole. Kermit Stamm says "I don't know whether the people would like to vote on more Emerson Struble decisions, but I think they should be allowed to. Then they might participate more." Stamm thinks people should be allowed to vote more often where the question of money and how it is spent arises. “I'm sure they would be interested in how the money is spent." "It could very well be", says Clifford Andrus, "(the water rates) issue stirred up a lol of exitement. Usually. I think the council does a pretty good job." "Yes," says Emerson Struble of Hastings, "especially on controversial issues. I think that a lot of people, even though they may not vole, want to get involved in things.” Struble notes that today's rank and file workers are better educated than in the past, and "more critical of those in positions of power." �The Hostings Bonner, Thursday.

Shaw's opinion, issued Wednesday, states that an affirmative vote of five council members would be required to grant an easement, according to the city charter. The legality of the vote outcome was questioned by Mayor Kenneth J. Howe after The Hastings Fire Department was called out shortly after noon last Thursday (August 5) when this crane flipped over at construction site next to Flexfab. Inc. Fire Chief Roger Caris said the department was coiled because of fears of fire from possible fual spillage. He said no danger of a fire existed and that no one was on the crane when it tipped over, ine building under construction is a project by BID Co. which plans to lease the finished structure to Pro-Line. (Bonner Photo) Special council meeting called on fire contract The Hastings City Council will hold a special meeting at 7:30 p.m., Monday, Aug. 16 to ratify a proposed fire agreement wJth the BIRCH Rural Fire Association. Mayor Kenneth J. Howe said the fire committee, which has been negotiating a new contract with BIRCH, will recommend approval of a pact reducing the rural share of the fire department budget from 50 per­ cent to 45 percent for the coming fiscal year and to 40 percent for four years after that. The budget for the department for 1982-83 has been set at $174,898. Township officials requested in a letter last year ’hat the city study a reduction in their share of the budget. Two weeks ago, the township people turned out ;n force at the city council meeting to make their case. fjre committee was making its recommendation in the belief that the best interests of the city residents Ls to continue operation of the department with the townships. "If BIRCH would not stay in with us.” Howe said, "we project it will cost the city $142,000 annually to operate the fire department, plus $120.00u in additional equipment." Howe said the only other alternative would be to layoff employees, which would reduce costs, but would increase the fire insurance ratings for homes and businesses in the city. Increased fire insurance costs were estimated at $100,000 a year to homes, businesses and industries. Howe said. William Cook, chairman of the fire com­ mittee. was unavailable for comment.

He in­ dicated that legal action will be taken to see that the 16 meet the ordinance requiring hook-up to the system. Each home paid $2,700 plus hook-up charges, he said. Commissioner Kiel also went on record thanking four people for their efforts on the project: Ray Bratton, Pamela Gibson. Elsie Furrow, and Audrey Burdick. Kiel said "This project cost $600,000 less than originally projected, due to County Treasurer Elsie Furrow’s investment procedures.

Gordon, chairman of the finance com­ mittee, said, "Keep in mind that this could change in two to four weeks." He was refering to the fact that certain departments might come back to the committee and to say they need more for operations. A motion by Commissioner Waller Soya to set aside $20,000 for the road commission was tabled and referred to the board's finance committee.

A press release had announced a public hearing under the new "Truth in Taxation" laws. Gerald Page, TK superintendent, said his office has received hundreds of calls from people who think the school system is asking for more millage. "This does not represent any more tax than we were authorized," Page said. "Under Troth in Taxation we have to an­ nounce that taxes are being raised." "They are going up because the assessment on property has gone up," he added. "I would suggest they come to the CORN: WET OR DRY? Thank you for your support last Tuesday. BOB BENDER...

Page said it is an example of bureaucratic red tape that the school system is required to announce that taxes are being raised. The hearing will be Monday, Aug. 16 at 7:30 p.m. in the high school library. Under the "Truth in Taxation" law, the board has to approve tlie increase. Prior to the law, boards could take advantage of increased revenues from rising assesments without a hearing. Now, boards must hold a hearing if they are going to take in more revenues, even if the millage rate stays the same.

In another matter, a conflict surfaced between Councilwoman Mary Lou Gray and Mayor Howe when she voiced her displeasure over the content and distribution methods of campaign literature circulated by opponents of the proposed nine percent increase in sewer and water rates (which was soundly defeated by a 3-1 vote margin the next day). Gray alleged that the literature was in violation of state election laws and federal postal regulations and charged that the content was “not even close to the truth." When she proceded to give her views, point-by-point, of the statements made by the rate opponents. Howe interjected, calling Gray “out of order." He said he felt it was inappropriate to use council time for such a formum. Gray expressed irritation ever Howe’s interruption and asked, "Are you going on record for censuring me for continuing? "Yes," responded Howe. The council gave its approval to spend an estimated $25,500 for 577 feet of eight-inch water main replacement, including labor and equipment, on Hayes and Railroad streets. Funds for the project would come from the water improvement fund. Councilmembers also approved paying for a temporary extension of the costs of Blue Cross-Blue Shield insurance for persnrs who have been laid-off.

The range was a community service project required for Scouts wishing to attain the Eagle rank, the highest achievement in Boy Scouting. Barry had to decide what his project would lie, make up the plans, supervise the work of his fellow Scouts on the project. Barry, a member of Hastings Scout Troop 77. and Scouts Geoff Gibson. Mark Michaels and Steve Smith, worked at building a signs and clearing out spots to place each of the five shooting stations. Then, stations were constructed using straw bales and targets.

Antique Tips and Tidbits: Estate Jewelry: The term estate is applied to those items which come from “states, which are. in effect, second hand, but very desirable. Jewelry is such an item. Use of it doesn't diminish the value of the metals and minerals involved. The fine workmanship of yesteryear is highly prized by those who collect, as well as wear it. The gold, silver, and diamond market is down right now and represents an excellent time to buy. Most investors feel it will rise as the economy improves. One might call the old pieces "antique” jewelry, and much of it sold is so identified. When a fine lot comes on the market, buyers’ interest is high. Of special interest today is the Art Nouveau and Art Deco jewelry which dates from about 1900 to 1940. This was a period of class in clothing, jewelry and decorative arts. Drop Leaf Tables: In the average home, the table is the most functional item and the most necessary piece of furniture one owns. That so many have been made over the years is a contributing factor to the nominal price for most. However, there are "rules of thumb" when buying them. It is important that a drop leaf table be of single board construction. If two or more boards are used in the top and in the leaves, one must fault its quality and value. Basically, the wider the board, the better. Size is very important. Smaller drop leaves seem to be more in demand and are more rare. Their form is graceful and delicate. Most are constructed of solid wood, but don't avoid them if veneered and in good condition. A curved leg and pud feet makes it more valuable. Bibie Boxes: The Bible box was a necessity in early Colonial life. Hardly a home was without a Bible, so it was only natural it be protected from the elements by storing it in a proper cabinet. The favorite form was a lidded box. Most were equipped with locks, as families stored vital documents and possessions along with the Bible. The 17th century boxes were most often made of oak. Some are deeply carved, often with religious motifs, though some were purely decorative. Dating them and initialing the owner was typical. The very early boxes have butterfly hinges and an iron lock. Though many of the heavily carved Bible boxes were probably made overseas and brought here by early settlers, they are valued as historic items of early American life. The English used mostly red oak, and we, white oak. Corners were dove tailed in the 17th century, but this is not a clue to where the box was made. There are English Bible boxes with brass trim, but these are not attributed to American work. Bras*? is a mixture of copper and zinc, and there were no mines operating then in this country. AIL brass had to be imported. Wash Stands: These accommodate bowl and pitcher sets. They are pure English form, but some were made in this country as well. Most old wash stands are not fancy. Sitting in a comer, they took less space and in the smaller homes of years past, made a lot of sense. These gave way Ij the one drawer commodes which could hide the chamber pot and other extra pieces in the cupboard below. Wash stands, when found in mahogany, are most likely English. Water Clocks: The quest in time keeping devices, many centuries ago, brought with it many creative ideas. The sun dial was among the first. Another was created with a reservoir of oil on which a float rested; as the oil burned, the lowering float would reflect the passage of time on a nearby dial. Sand timers were popular for short intervals and are still used today. Perhaps the most in­ ventive of all was the water clock, which made its appearance during the dark ages. Called the Clepsydra, it was quite a simple mechanism. Water is fed from a pipe through a funnel. A clever regulator measures the flow in a container in which there is a float attached to a geared arm. As the water rises, the arm turns the single hand which indicates time on the dial. However, the temperature of the water would affect the flow and one could not be sure of accuracy with such a device. In 807 A.D . Charlemagne received a gift of a water clock from tne King of Persia. The dial ws composed of twelve small doors which represented the hours. Each door would open al its appointed time and small steel balls would roll out, striking a brass gong, signifying the hour. Very few examples of early water clocks have survived. It is know that a series of wall water clocks made their appearance in an English catalog in 1914, so one should not relate rarity of engineering with age as this known reproduction exists. However, even this 1914 example is sought by collectors in England, as it is unique. Mission Furniture: A recent "sleeper" is the Mission style pieces. Formerly frowned on. the rarer pieces are enjoying a revival of importance, and realizing high prices. As recently as 1964, these pieces sold for $5.00 to $50.00 each. They now command prices in the high hundreds to thousands of dollars. Mission style was copied from the south­ western Indian missions by the Stickley brothers. It was made in Holland and Grand Rapids, Mich, and at our own Grand Rapids Bookcase and Chair Company here in Hastings. Its manufacture dates from 18911954. Ionia Free Fair rebounds from slow start After a slow statistical start, the Ionia Free Fair closed fast to nearly match the outdoor event’s 1981 midway, grandstand, and parking totals. Fair officials put the finger on the State's poor economy and the hot, humid weather that prevailed throughout the July 30-Aug. 8 run for the overall attendance pegged at slightly less that the predicted 500,000. In spite of the dip, first year Fair Manager Haskins termed the exposition a success and is looking forward to a continuation of the improvement of the buildings and grounds that gave this years Fair a "new look". The Fair was jolted August 2 when Air Supply's management cancelled the groups’ August 3 engagement due to the throat and voice problems of lead singer. Russell Hit­ chcock. As a substitute, the Fair presented a free grandstand show attended by an estimated 2,500. It featured the "New Seekers" and comedian, Paul Lennon. The grandstand fare opened August I, when 996 attended a first-ever gospel show featuring the Masters Five, Singing Americans, and the Telestials. Show business legend George Burns drew 2,026 for two shows. August 2; and Loretta Lynn and the Thrasher Bros, entertained 4,624 in two performances. August 4. Alabama put its name on the ledger as one of the fair’s all-time popular attractions with an aggregate 12,484 for both appearances August 5. Rick Springfield had the best single-show gathering, with 6,688 present for his August 6 single outing. Jerry Reed brought the curtain down on the week’s big-name line-up by playing before 3,089 in a single show, August 7. Other primary grandstand attractions and attendance were tractor pulling, July 30 11959) and July 31 (3854); National Light­ weight Horse Pulling contest. wgust 1 (413); Harness Racing, Aug. 3 and 4 ( 750); Heavyweight Horse Pull, August 6, (1500); Motorcycle Races, August 7 (2,318); Stock Car Races, August 8 (1,140); and Demolition Derby, August 8 ( 3,089). The Deggeller Attractions midway figures are incomplete, but the gross for the Fair is expected to be slightly higher than 1981. An all-time midway Free Fair midway record was shattered on August 2 with 60,700 ride admissions. The record is attributed to the $5 ride-all-day special repeated August 8. The Fair’s paging Booth reflected the huge Aug. 2 midway business with $318 paid for paging at $.50 per page. Parking totals, also a barometer for the free gate admission Fair, showed 37,210 cars compared to 39,870 posted last year.

Middleville holding poker run for new decorations Tom Blodgett, assistant postmaster at the Hastings Post Office, reports problems with dogs in the area, and warns that statistics show August is the worst month for dog bites. Blodgett said that one Hastings mail carrier has been bitten this summer, and that there has been an "unusual number of dog incidents. Recently the U.S. Post Office issued a warning to owners of unrestrained dogs: If your pet bites a letter carrier, forget about the mail. If it bites hard enough, see you in court. Last year about 5,700 of the nation's postal workers were bitten by dogs.

CAKES - By Pat Need a special way to say ‘‘I Love You?’’ Decorated Cakes ALL OCCASIONS 948-2583 Post Office warns dog owners The Friends of the Hastings Library have recently provided funds to buy a new edition of the Encyclopedia Americana in 30 volumes for the reference section of the Hastings Public Library. This 1981 edition releases the 1976 Americana to become a part of the cir­ culating collection: one volume at a lime may be borrowed for a 7-day period. The Encyclopedia Americana was the first encyclopedia published in the United States, appearing first in 1829 and continuing for 152 years as a standard work of general reference. Many American and European intellectuals contributed to the first edition, and the work quickly gained acceptance for authoritativeness and readability. By 1850, Abraham Lincoln owned the 13-volume work. This newer edition of the Encyclopedia Americana helps bring up-to-date the library collection of adult encyclopedias, joining the 1980 Britannica III given by the Friends about 18 months ago. These are the two most important of a number of adult en­ cyclopedias available in the library, in­ cluding Collier’s, 197C; New Catholic En­ cyclopedia. 1967; McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology, 1966; with yearbooks for 1971-73 and 1976-1979; the Harper Encyclopedia of Science in 4 volumes. 1963; the Animal Kingdom, 3 volumes, 1954; Great Art and Artists of the World series. 9 volumes: the 24-volume New International Illustrated Encyclopedia of Art, 1967. The Encyclopedia of Philosophy, 8 volumes in 4, 1972 reprint edition; World­ mark Encyclopedia of the Nations, 5 volumes, 1963; The Negro in American History, 1928-1954 in 3 volumes, copyright 1969 by Encyclopedia Britannica; the New Century Cyclopedia of Names in 3 volumes, 1954; and the one-volume Columbia En­ cyclopedia, 1963, 3rd edition, with 1967 supplement. Among other one-volume biographical and geographical works is Dictionary of American Portraits, 1967 - 4000 pictures of important Americans from earliest times.

They flew to Schipol Airport in Amsterdam by Catherine Lucas on a 747. Carol was invited to tour lhe cockpit by the captain of the plane and said it was very intei esling. The big planes are con­ trolled by computers, and Carol said that screens and panels fill the cockpit. From Amsterdam, the tour went through Holland by bus to Germany. They visited a farm in Holland and one in Germany. Then they went to Switzerland and rode through the Black Forest and visited another farm. Carol enjoyed a side trip in little cars and cable cars to the top of some of lhe moun­ tains in the Alps. After Switzerland, the tour went to France. They had been told not to drink the water in Paris. While in Paris, they visited a nignt club. Eiffel Tower, Bastille, and Versailles. Upon leaving France, the bus tour entered Belgium.

Mrs. Juanita Hunt of Pollard Drive, Lake Odessa, was driving down Main Street in Woodland on Monday and tried to avoid a piece of metal lying in the street. The inside of her tire hit the metal and blew out She says that she was knocked unconscious when her head hit the windshield at the time of the blowout. The pick-up she was driving traveled down the sidewalk inside the trees past three houses, strewed garbage out for the garbage collector, hit two trees and came to a stop when it hit a tree in the front yard of Lester and Arlene Foreman. Amazingly, no one was on the sidewalk at the time, and Mrs. Hunt was not hurl. The Barry County Sheriff Department investigated the accident and no tickets were issued. The metal bar that had caused it all was never found. Mrs. Hunt’s husband was brought from Lake Odessa by Evelyn Thompson and Mrs. Hunt was taken home where she is resting. The pick-up was towed away. Onge at 948-8202. or by stopping al Books, Etc., East State Street, Hastings. The deadline for submitting applications is September 1.

Library requests books for SummerFest sale The staff of the Hastings Public Library hopes to hold a sidewalk sale on the first day of Summer Fest, and invite contributions of paperback and hardback books to be sold at that time. If the books can be brought to the library by August 20, to allow a few days time for checking against the library's holdings, that would be most helpful. The sale is planned for Friday. August 27.9 a.m. Since several staff members will be on vacation at that time, volunteers are needed, and may phone the librarian. Eileen L. Oehler at 94>4263 if they have lime available on August 26 or 27 for working on the sale. The possibility of holding a book sale will be loa considerable extent dependent on how many books are contributed in the next ten days, as well as on the availability of volunteers to help. Books are the major items needed, although a few 8-track tapes and 78 rpm collectors' recordings were sold at the July sale, along with a few magazines. Most magazines do not sell very well at usedbook sales, the Friends have found. The city of Hastings centennial history. 1871-1971. will again be for sale during Summer Fest, on the sidewalk or inside the library during open hours, at $2.50 per copy. Antique books continue to be on sale within lhe library. ^toretiianplain Mary McDonald of Muskegon. 1981-82 young careerist of the Michigan Business and Professional Women, was the guest speaker at Tuesday's meeting of the Hastings Business and Professional Women’s Club, held at the Hastings Moose Lodge.

"Ten years ago. you heard of people die of cancer ", said Mrs. Alles. “Now. people are living with cancer". The program were originally started in 1977 in Minnesota by two nurses. It includes an 8-week course of two hour sessions to help cancer victims in anyway possible. It’s designed to answer questions and their goal is to have the patient be an essential part of the medical team. "Medical treatment is significantly enhanced by altitude", said Mrs. Alles, and the program is intended to help people learn more and control their health. “There's a lot of anxiety and misinformation with cancer, and the new program strives to increase a patient's knowledge, increase control of one's own life and decrease anxiety about cancer. Each of the eight weeks is devoted to specific topics, with the first session in­ cluding an introduction to participate, a study of the program available and an in­ troduction to the learning library. The second week deals with learning about the disease; what it is, what each individual’s role includes. The third session includes a learning experience on how to live with the daily health problem and how to keep yourself healthy. The next session deals with how a patient can express feelings, to doctors, nurses, family and friends. - how to celebrate the present. The fifth week, patients learn how to like themself, how cancer affects one’s body image. The sixth meeting deals with how one can live with limitations followed the next week with an explanation of helpful com­ munity resources, what society and religious groups provide. The final week is graduation, a renewal of tools provided the previous sessions. "The course gives confidence in self", said Mrs. Alles, "Instead of saying, "What can I do", the course leaches cancer patients to say, "Here's what I can do". Concluding, Mrs. Alles stressed, "we must live each day as if it were a gif t. Then life can be a beginning, not an end, since the concept of doing better is the emerging force.

Thursday, August 12. 1982 Hastings Merchants are hosts for fastpitch state tournament Three runs in the final inning last Wed­ nesday. propelled the Hastings Merchants to a 4-1 district playoff win over American Fire Protection of Lansing, and into the Class B state tournament. With the victory the Merchants. 11-1 champions of the Freeport Fastpitch League, are allowed to skip regional play and be the Class B "host" team at the state tournament in Lansing, Labor Day weekend. The Merchants. American Fire Protection and Art’s Bar of Lansing, are the only three class B teams in this district. Merchant coach Larry Hamp said. They battled to see who would be the host team because the district (Lansing i has been picked as the site of the state finals. American Fire Protection and Art’s Bar will have to participate in regional play to qualify for the state finals, while the Mer­ chants receive an automatic seed, Hamp said. After the Merchants received a bye in the district playoff, American Fire Protection and Art’s Bar met at Ranney park in Lansing on Tuesday. American Fire Protection scored an 8-1 win and earned the right to meet the Merchants Wednesday. Hamp said it was "pandemonium’’ after the Merchants secured their victory over SummerFest offers bike routes American Fire. "I almost forgot to pick up the bats and equipment." he said. “I walked off without my scorebook.’’ A big seventh inning broke a 1-1 tie to set off the pandemonium Spencer Goodyear led off the big inning with a walk. He moved around when Newell Heath fashioned a nifty fake bunt. Heath was safe at first and Goodyear kept rolling on to third causing a wild throw and an in­ terference call on the third baseman. That allowed Goodyear toscore the first run of the inning. Armon Ranguette followed with a bunt single. Dave Nichols walked and the sacks u'ere loaded. Steve Hammond then grounded to short driving a run in. and Terry Nichols grounded to second driving the final run in. American Fire Protection loaded the bases with one out in the bottom of that final inning, but pitcher Dave Nichols got the next two batters to pop-up to end the contest Nichols was th^ winning pitcher, and Heath was the offensive star with two singles. This year’s trip to the state tournament will be the second trip for the Merchants to stale in the last three years. Two years ago they made the trip as a Class D team. Karpinski closes out career Hastings High School all-state quarterback John Karpinski played over half the game, Saturday, in the MHSAA All-Star Football game, closing out a sparkling prep career. Karpinski, who is headed for Saginaw Valley State College to play football, was credited for six tackles ir Saturday's contest. He played ccrnerback and was the holder of extra points and field goal attempts. His team, the West squad, won the game 25-22. Karpinski spent ten days on the campus of Michigan Slate University, culminating with the game at Spartan Stadium on Saturday. Proceeds from the game went to charity. Part of the 10 day activity was spending time at nursing homes and hospitals. "1 had a real good time, John said upon his return. “The coaches were great and the game was exciting.” John said he made a lot of friends in the ten days of walking around MSU's "big cam­ pus", and working in the practice sessions. There was only one player smaller than John, a split-end, and because of his size, John was used as a defensive back rather than his usual quarterback slot. “The offense was a drop back and pass offense and both quarterbacks w\.re big,' he said. “One of them got hurt though, and I ended up working out at quarterback the last few days of practice." John said all the starting linemen were over 200 pounds, the smallest at 210 pounds. The shortest of the group stood 6-1. and three of the starting five were 6-6. J.V. gals start John Karpinski “Most of them were going places like Eastern Michigan. Wisconsin," he said. ‘‘And almost everybody was going somewhere."

The flocks are composed of red-winged blackbirds, starlings, grackles, brown­ headed cowbirds and house sparrows. They get together the DNR says, to take advantage of grain laying in farm fields after the harvest is over. Groups numbering in the hundreds can often be seen moving from field to field in search of food. Many of the blackbirds, primarily red­ winged, roost in local cattail marshes over night. More than 100.000 birds have been counted roosting in some marshes, the DNR says. Early in the evening as the birds enter the marshes, their calling creates a large amount of noise. The DNR says Alfred Hitchcock used the sounds when he produced his movie. "The Birds". Ornithologists, people who study birds, think that the calling helds prepare the birds for their upcoming migration.

Outdoor Report; Football team will hold car wash There is one sport at Hastings High that takes care of itself in the fundraising department by drawing thousands to Johnson Field on fall Friday nights. But in the spirit of teamwork, the grid squad has decided to lend a hand raising funds for the athletic program. Page 9 Thornapple-Kellogg High School head football coach Ray Page is taking on another position of authority in the athletic program—athletic director. He replaces his brother Superintendent Gerald Page, who as assistant superin­ tendent last year handled the athletic director duties. Athletic budget cuts that saw ThornappleKellogg boosters fund the entire program last year, were responsible for Gerald Page taking over the extra administrative duties. He replaced Lon Lefanty, now an insurance agent in Middleville. The recent passage of a 16 mill proposal for the schools will restore school funding of the athletic program. Superintendent Page said last week. Ray Page took over the job of head football coach last year after the long-time boss Bob White stepped down. Ray has taught in the Thornapple-Kellogg school system for 27 years. At various times he has served as the varsity track coach, varsity basketball coach, junior varsity basketball coach and junior varsity football coach.

August 12. 1982 Page 10 Charlton Park hosting annual Antique Auto Show and Swap Meet, Sunday ' Fin Lissie" will be recalled Sunday. August 15. when some 250 vintage autos parade into Charlton Park for the thirteenth annual Antique Auto Show and Swap Meet. Adding Io the nostalgia at the 9 a m. to 4 p.m event will be the park setting, featuring an authentic reconstructed Michigan village of the late 1800s Many of the historic cars to be displayed belong to members of the Battle Creek Chapter of the Veteran Motor Car Club of America, co-sponsors of the show. Robert Judd of Olivet, vice president of the group and chairperson of the auto show, said several other area car clubs are expected to participate in the exhibition. Judd, who spent over two years restoring a 191^ Model T Ford touring car. said that autos dating from 1908 to 1957 are scheduled to be shown. Each car will be displayed with the year, make and owner’s name. In most cases, the owners will be on hand to answer questions about restoration of their in­ dividual vehicles. "It lakes a lot of patience and a lot of time to restore an auto." observed Judd. "And, nowadays, it also takes a lot nf money." The search for authentic auto parts often lead Io cross-country telephone calls and can be the most time-consuming aspect of a restoration project, he explained. At Sunday’s show, vendors will offer a wide variety ol old car parLs for swap or sale.

Johnston by Robert J. The five townships who share the Hastings Fire Department with the city will pay less for fire service unuer a new five year agreement approved by the Hastings City Council, Monday. The townships share of the $174,000 budget will drop from 50 percent to 45 percent the first year of the contract and to 40 percent for the remaining four years. The final wording of the contract has yet to be ratified. Monday, however, the council authorized its fire committee to continue negotiating with the BIRCH Rural Fire Association at the new cost percentages. BIRCH includes Baltimore, Irving, Rutland. Carlton and Hastings townships. The new agreement will be automatically renewed with the 60-40 split, council mem­ bers said. As in the past, both sides will be able to terminate the agreement with a one year notice to the other side. Last September, BIRCH officials wrote a letter to the city seeking to renegotiate the contract. Mayor Kenneth J. Howe said BIRCH originally sought a reduction to 30 percent of the budget. “Our balance of equipment is considerably more than most townships and rural associations have," said Richard Thomas. Hastings Township supervisor and president of BIRCH. Thomas said this was the main reason the townships felt their share of the cost should be reduced. Fire Chief Roger Caris said thak the townships own a 1980 Ford pumper truck, a 1970 Ford pumper truck, a 1972 Dodge fourwheel drive truck and a 1967 Ford tanker. The city owns a 1981 American LaFrance ladder truck, a 1970 Ford pumper and the chiefs car. a 1976 Ford Granada. The city also owns all hose. Other clothing and ac­ cessory equipment is shared. Council member Mary Lou Gray (Third Ward) noted that the townships receive more service than the city. Her figures given to the Banner after the meeting, which she said were taken from the year-end department report, showed 75 incidents in the city against 126 in the townships; 510 manhuurs in Hastings the city against 1.222 manhours in the townships; 53 total hours spent in the city against 190 in the townships; only threequarters of an hour average time at the scene in the city against one and threequarter hours in the rural areas; and 723 gallons of gas used for the city opposed to 1,504 gallons for the rural. She also noted that the city pays for water and use of the chiefs car for investigations at no charge to the townships. Gray said she joined the unanimous vote approving the new percentages only because the city had the opt ion of ending the five year agreement with a one-year notice if it proves too expensive. Fire committee member Gordon Bennett (Second Ward* said that the key factors in agreeing to the increased costs to the city were the amount of equipment owned by the townships and the use of that equipment in “a large area" of the city not covered by the water system. Bennett said that if the townships and city were to cease operating together it would be expensive to the people of the city in two ways; first as taxpayers paying a higher cost to operate the department, and second as property owners paying a higher fire in­ surance rate because of a reduced level of service. "If we lose the full-time men and go volunteer.” Bennett said, "the insurance will go up.” Thomas pointed out that the townships have felt for "some time” that an ad­ justment on the percentages should be made. "Obviously," said fire committee member Gordon Fuhr (Third Ward), "we want a 50-50 split That's where we would still like to be. The figures we arrived at were the best compromise.” Several council members said they felt uneasy with the length of the agreement because they were unsure of the city's future revenues. Following the meeting Caris and Howe would not speculate on where the additional cost to the city, $8,700 under the present budget, would be made up.

On a hot summer day, the kids are out in force at Middle Lake, where the most popular attraction seems to be the rope swing. Airport expansion plans wrapped up in red tape by Greg Johnson Plans that were bom in 1980 for expansion at the Hastings City-Barry County Airport are stuck in two years of government red tape, the chairman of the airport board says. Charles Murphy, chairman of the board, sent copies of two letters to the Banner that trace the history of the plans that have been awaiting approval from the Federal Aviation Administration and the Michigan Aviation Commission. In October, two years will have passed since the airport contracted with Gove Associates of Lansing to make a 20-year master plan that includes plans for a runway extension, new hangers and a new terminal building. On Aug. 9 Murphy sent a letter to Senator Harry DeMaso to show him an example of government red tape playing "anchor” to the economy. A May 27, 1982 letter sent to Murphy by Gove Associates reveals that they were still waiting for answers from the MAC and the FAA, before they could continue to develop plans. Murphy said when the board first decided to expand, they expected the project would be underway in about six months. "We knew we had to get approval from the government and have an enviornmental impact statement prepared, but we didn’t expect it to take two years with no end in sight," Murphy said. Duane F. Ellis, vice president of Gove, the man handling the project, is on vacation this week and could not be reached for comment. Maynard Schurr of the Gove office in Kalamazoo, said he was not familiar enough with the project to answer any questions, and that when Ellis returns Monday he will be able io provide answers. In the May letter Ellis said he was con­ cerned with the delay in the "relatively simple project". Police clear ten local break-ins by Ken Reibel Hastings City Police say they’ve solved at least ten local break-ins which have occurred over the last three months with the recent arrest of two Hastings men. Richard Lee Welch, 20. 222-A W. Mill St., and David Arthur Warner. 24, Sundago Park, were stopped in their car August 11 by Hastings City Police. According to Hastings Deputy Police Chief Gordon Trick, the two suspects were attempting to sell some of the smoking paraphenalia which was taken during the break-in earlier that day at the Rapid Quick Stop on N. Broadway. Welch, 20, 222-A W. Mill St., is currently lodged in the Barry County Jail. He is charged with the Rapid Quick Stop break-in and the August 4 break-in of the S. Michigan Laundromat, in which police say $225 worth of change was stolen from machines. Bond for Welch is set at $2,500 on each count. Arrested with Welch was David Arthur Warner. 24, C-49 Sundago Park. He was released on $100 bond on one count of receiving and concealing stolen goods under $100. Police also turned over to officials of probate court three juveniles who police connect, along with Welch, to numerous break-ins. Trick says that with these arrests, his department hopes to clear up as many as 13 local break-ins and attempted break-ins, including: — A May 26 break-in at the Progressive gas station. 835 W. State St., where entry was gained by smashing a front window. Police say $80 was stolen plus an unknown amount of coins from two changers. — An August 4 break-in at the Re-Creation Center, 142 E. State St., where thieves rifled $400 worth of change from eight of ten machines, doing $500 worth of damage to the machines in the process. — An August 11 break-in at the Wash King laundromat. 121 E. Woodlawn, where entry was gained by prying open a door, and ap­ proximately $50 in change was taken from machines. — A July 8 break-in of the First Baptist Church on E. Woodlawn. Police say Welch hid in a locked office as police searched the church, after discovering a screen off an outside window. Nothing was stolen in that incident. Though police say Welch may be responsible for as many as 13 break-ins. he will only be charged with two, due to a state law which says that sentences must run concurrently in cases of this type. Ellis said he had been in contact with Tom Reed and Harrison Nichols of the MAC. Reed told him that an airspace review had not been received from the FAA, and that the request had been made eight months earlic-r in October of 1981. On Wednesday Reed said the delay was unusual for this type of project. He said 12 to 15 months is usually the norm. Reed cited manpower shortages at the MAC and the FAA and a Mtacklog of projects as possible reasons for delay now in it's 22nd month. "When the air traffic controllers went on strike and lost their jobs, a lot of people working desks jobs had to move to the towers." Reed said. "That might be part of the problem, but I’m only guessing." "Planning projects like this takes a lot of time because all phases have to be approved before you can move on," he said. Reed said "hopefully" the planning could be completed by the end of the calendar year. Once the planning is complete, the project will still have to wait on funding, design and then construction, he said. Reed said priority of projects at the MAC goes to new airports, and runway extensions arc usually second on the list. Murphy said the original plans, started in 1980, were triggered by the death of Hastings resident and experimental aircraft flyer Earl McMullin in a crash at the airport. "A fund was collected to build some type of monument, and the board felt what better monument then a new terminal building," Murphy said.

Steve Blashkiw, 844 Barlow Lake Rd., told Barry County Sheriff deputies he was asleep downstairs about 1 a.m. Tuesday when he awoke to the sound of someone walking upstairs. Blashkiw said he went upstairs tc check around, and found a flashlight on a dresser in his wife’s bedroom, and an iron on the floor. He returned downstairs, only 'o hear the noise again. Blashkiw went back upstairs, and heard someone in the kitchen. Blashkiw approached the intruder, whom he described as a man of 19 or 20, and asked him what he was doing. The subject said that he was a runaway, then bolted out a porch door, leaped from the porch, and ran away. The only thing reported missing was about $40 from Mrs. Blashkiw’s purse, and a towel and one-piece bathing suit which were left drying on the back porch. The intruder, however, left behind a yellow flashlight in the bedroom, and a pair of size nine Jox tennis shoes on the living room table. The case remains under investigation.

Norman Brown, 10921 E. State Rd., told Barry County Sheriff deputies that someone stole his four-door Oldsmobile Omega, which was parked next to his garage, sometime during the night. A "be-on-loGkout” was issued to surrounding sheriff departments, and about two hours later, officials in Eaton County reported that Brown's car, worth ap­ proximately $8,000, had been found gutted by flames on St. Joe Highway near Round Lake.

(Bonner photo) An incumbent Republican candidate for county commissioner says his name was blocked off from a voting booth during the August 10 primary election. Ed Daniels, former sixth district can­ didate, sent a formal letter to the BarryCounty clerk Monday complaining that his name was blocked off in one of three voting booths at the Hope Township Hall for over an hour and a half before the mistake was noticed and corrected. Daniels, of Cloverdale, lost his party's nomination to fellow incumbent Walter Soya. 263-146. “Maybe 1 wouldn’t have won the election (due to the error) because I was quite a feu votes off." says Daniels, "but t don't need the odds against me." He says he has no idea how many votes, if any. he lost. “I’m going to leave it up to the county clerk what to do next...maybe it was a mistake, maybe not," says Daniels, who adds that he just wants to let people know about the error The polls opened at 7 a.m. Tuesday, and it wasn't until 8:45 a.m. that a neighbor of Daniels noticed the error, and called at­ tention to it. The cover was quickly removed from Daniel's name. "There was a covet over Joe's name on one machine," says Clifford Clouse. chairman of the Hope Township election board. "There were four of us who checked out the machines to make sure all the names were right, and we still missed it," says Clouse, who adds "It certainly wasn't intentional." Norval Thaler, Barry County Clerk, says no action is warranted because Danidls would have lost the election anyway. “We checked with the township clerk and learned that the error was discovered by voter number 32 that day. Even if every voter had voted in that booth for Mr. Daniels, he still would have lost." says Thaler. Thaler says the booth is error was an overflow booth, meaning that it was used only when the other two booths were busy. "I'm not saying it was the right thing to have happened, but no action is necessary,” says Thaler. Feature story on the Hastings City Band Pages �The Hastings Banner — Thursday, August 19. 1982 — Page 2 Delton Schools seek two-mill increase Tuesday The 'he quality of educational programs programs in ____ the Delton Kellogg School district will hinge on the outcome of a millage election set for Tuesday, August 24, according to school officials. Voters are being asked to approve a twomill increase for two years to restore some of the cuts made after a millage proposal was defeated in June. A proposal for a 1.5 mill increase was defeated June 14 by a vote of 795-708. The board agreed to try again for additional millage after citizens in the district petitioned for another election. Because proposed state aid cuts to the school are projected to take a big bite out of the local budget, the board's finance com­ mittec with input input from from the the public, oublic. decided decided to to mittec with seek two mills this Tuesday. The state's bleak financial situation continues to cast a cloud of uncertainty over Delton schools as well as other schools in the state because of talk of even deeper cuts for education, said Dean McBeth, Delton’s assistant superintendent. Not knowing specifically what the state aid formula will generate in dollars for the local school means that the board has to hedge on exactly what will be restored in the school budget if the upcoming millage proposal is approved. McBeth said. But without the extra millage, the district and its students will be faced with a bare bones situation, he said. The school would be left with a learhino staff nf rr left with a teaching staff of 88 without the millage. Five years ago there were 121 teachers. He also noted that the condition of some textbooks are poor and supplies are dwindling. If the millage passes, McBeth said the board has indicated that some teaching positions will be restored, but no exact number has been determined. The board has laid off 11 teachers in recent months. He said $40,1)00 would be earmarked for teaching supplies and textbooks and that cocurricular activities would be included in the budget at the 1981-82 level if the millage passes. “As many service personnel (custodians, . .. clerks, bus drivers, etc.) as possible and as needed" will be called back to work if the additional millage is approved, McBeth said. Also funds would be earmarked for custodial-maintainance supplies to keep the facilities in better shape. Ten non-certified positions tclerks, etc) were eliminated after June's millage defeat. Restoration of the number of personnel positions will depend on both sufficient funds and student population. If the student population should dwindle not as many positions would be needed. The additional two mills had been estimated to generate about $224,540 the first Break-in draws 3-year probation $500 in court costs and $225 restitution, at the rate of $40 per month.

A C etters to the Editor: Hospital staff praised by vacationer To The Editor Our family was recently vacationing at Yankee Springs State Park. During this time, our three year old son fell into a fire pit and received second degree burns on his left hand. We quickly made a trip into Hastings, to the Pennock Hospital. That visit is what prompted me to write this letter. We no sooner walked into the emergency entrance, my son in tears, and we were asked. "May I help you?” Those concerned words were only the beginning of the com­ petent and continued care that my son received from Dr. Collins and the entire staff. I felt that this would be the perfect op­ portunity to thank the Pennock Hospital and its staff. I hope the people of Hastings ap­ preciate the devoted and competent staff that they have in their own town. There were no questions of paperwork or money, only the dedication to help someone in need. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the way our son was attended to. I would also like to thank the people at Jacobs Drug Store for their help. There aren't enough great Hospitals like Pennock. Sincerely, Kathy Peckens Brighton, Mich. Hastings reconstructed as a Michigan village of the late 1800s. A constant stream of muster activities, featuring games of fun and skill, will be staged from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The action will include a bucket brigade contest, com­ petition with centrifugal, rotary, and piston pumps in a race to see which can draw the first water, a water ball contest focusing on team skill using fire hoses, and an arena pumping event. “The arena pumping can be quite comical to watch," says Lee Soderbeck of Jackson, secretary of the Greenfield Village spon sored group. In that contest of five-man teams, she explains, each unit’s bunker coats and boots are thrown into a pile and each must scramble against the clock to find and put on his own attire, place a hard suction hose in the river, jump onto a fire truck, and pump water. The team with the best time is declared the winner. Mrs Soderbeck said the antique fire ap­ paratus association put on a show last month at Greenfield Village in Dearborn. The majority of the group’s members are individual collectors who are affiliated with the National Society for the Preservation and Appreciation of Antique Motorized Fire Apparatus. Some of the interesting firefighting equipment expected to be on hand for the Charlton Park show are a restored Seagrave rig, an open cab z'hrens-Fox piston pumper of 1920s vintage, a 1914 Model T fire chief’s car, and an old RED fire engine. There will be an American-LaFrance fire vehicle, typical of what was once a common rural firefighting fixture, usually made from Ford or Chevy trucks which were converted into fire apparatus with the addition of pumps. The Vermontille Fire Department is ex­ pected to display its unique 1913 firefighter manufactured by the Waterous Engine Works in St. Paul, Minnesota. Awards will be presented at 4:30 p.m. ceremonies on the green for the best ap­ pearing original antique, the best appearing restored antique, and the best appearing modern apparatus. A flea market featuring fire-related equipment will be operating on the day of the show and the park will have copies to sell of an Americana Review booklet entitled “Firefighting of Long Ago". Food and beverages also will be available. Show participants will be able to register at the park gate, beginning at 8 a.m. on the day of the event. For additional information, call (616 ) 945-3775. Admission will be $2 for adults and 50 cents for children under 12 and includes entry to the show and an opportunity to browse through the historical buildings, a museum featuring exhibits of pioneer and Indian life, and to use the Park's beach, picnic facilities, playgrounds, and boat launch. Charlton Park is located on the banks of the Thornapple River, just off M-79, midway between Hastings and Nashville. Banner Send Form P S. 3579 to P O. Box B (USPS 071-830) 1952 N. Broadway, P.O.

The death total was 48 less than the record set in 1979. The new property loss mark was more than $12 million over the previous record high of $220.4 million charged to 1980 fires. The total value of the property involved in fires was over $14 billion. Fire departments during the year responded to a total of 210,418 alarms. In addition to the 76,625 fires, these included 61,538 rescue runs, 43,353 non-fire emergencies (power lines down, gas leaks, spills etc.), 26,028 false alarms, and 2,874 other non-fire runs. Ambulance runs are not included. According to the summary, the fires in­ volved 6,928 commercial buildings, 19,706 dwellings, 17,718 mobile properties and 32,277 other classifications. Investigators reported 6,121 incendiary fires in 1981, which had a loss totalling $24.1 million. In addition, there were 8,574 fires reported in which arson was suspect. These did an estimated $32.4 million damage. The State Police statistics are based on information submitted to the Fire Marshal Division by about 1,000 fire departments in the state. Dealing with the state cuts in financing education and late stale aid payments to the local schools makes budget planning dif­ ficult. McBeth said the school receh ed news from the state that the August 1 state aid payment "is delayed indefinitely ..whatever that'means.” The possibility that the state might further delay other slate aid payments would cause severe cash flow problems for Delton MeBeth said. The Delton district is already behind in the area of offering computer education. "Many districts have several rooms full of com­ puters This year we will have two com­ puters due to a federal grant...We're behind...The wave of computers is now not the future,” said McBeth. The polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p m Tuesday and the board has set a special meeting that evening. Hastings student admitted to MSU Honors College Police & Court Beat...

McBeth said the importance of the ad­ ditional millage has a bepring "in te:ms of the future of our area," in addition to the current needs. He said the school needs to maintain the type of curriculum that can benefit students and prepare them for careers. heater. When the water healer ignited, the paint caught on fire, and the blnze spread. Firefighters worked for just over an hour to extinguish the fire.

PUBLIC OPINION by Ken Reibel THIS WEEK’S QUESTION: Michigan voters will be asked in November If the death penalty should be reinstated. Though Michigan, in 1846, was the first state to outlaw capital punishment, most polls show that the majority of voters are for the law. Are you in favor of reinstating the death penalty? Why or why not? Peggy Roe Bob Fortier Tom Dunn Steve Rodent Auto theft, cont from page 1 was impossible to tell if the keys were in it due to the melting of the metal.” The case remains under investigation. Barry County Sheriff deputies were called Saturday to investigate the theft of tarps covering two trucks parked near M-79 Friday night. According to Zane Mead, the trucks, which he is part owner of, were parked in a field near his house Friday night. The tarps, which were used to cover loads of oats, are worth approximately $97 each. The case remains inactive pending further information. John Samuel Browne, 21, Patterson Rd., Wayland, was arrested by Michigan State Police from the Hastings team Tuesday following a complaint that two subjects were drinking and shouting obscenities in Yankee Springs State Park.

Brad Graham Elwood Travis Back in the 1840s, a man named Stephen G. Simmons was hanged in Detroit for mur­ dering his wife in a drunken fury. It was a public execution; seats erected for spec­ tators, and a military band which provided music. But the carnival-like atmosphere turned public opinion against the death penalty, and tlje Michigan legislature abolished the capital punishment in 1846, the first state in the nation to do so. Simmons’ execution was the last under state law. In 1938. Anthony Chebatoris was hanged in Milan tor murdering a bystander during a bank robbery in Bay City. He was executed under a federal law, the National Bank Robbery Act. that had been enacted to stem a national epidemic of bank robberies. Chebatoris has the dubious distinction of being the first person sentenced to death in the U.S. under that law, and the last person to be executed in Michigan. Seven of the eight respondents this week say they favor reimposing the death penalty. Bob Fortier is for reinstating the death penalty. "It would give a lot of those crazies something to think about. I think that somebody who takes somebody else's life should have their own taken." Jack Bowman “I’m a Christian, and biblically, I believe in capital punishment,” says Peggy Roe, of Middleville. "In the Bible, they talk about what to do with rebellious children," says Roe, "and God told them that if they could not descipline rebellious children, then to go to the elders, who would stone the child. That’s the way they eliminated crime." "When you know that a person has killed somebody, that person should be put to death." says Roe. Tom Dunn says he disagrees with many sociologists who say the death penalty serves no purpose. "There’s no real way to tell how many violent crimes are deterred by the death penalty." says Dunn, "but I'm sure that some crimes are deterred, though." Steve Radant favors the death penalty in Michigan for serious crimes. "I think that if the offense is serious enough, it's OK to impose the death penalty," says Radant. Brad Graham. Hastings, says "1 feel that people who commit murders and rapes and things like that only sit back and take up lax money by sitting in prison, and then they'll probably wind up on the street again." and he says he is for capital punishment. Judy Gillespie Elwood Travis of Nashville, says “1 think they ought to reinstate it." Capital punish­ ment, he says, will "keep some of these people from murdering people, and make them think twice before they do it again." Travis says he hopes some crimes of violence will be deterred by the death penalty. Jack Bowman, a life-long Hastings resident, says he's been for the death penalty for a long time. "Our prisons are full, they're getting fuller all the time. I think we never should have quit it in the United States,” says Bowman. He believes that reimposing the death penalty could be a solution to overcrowded prisons. They (criminals) know that the most they can get is life, and with good behavior they’ll be out in nine or ten years," says Bowman. Judy Gillespie of Hastings is against the death penalty. “I don't think that anybody deserves to be punished by death. I think they should go to prison instead," says Gillespie. �si g g T^e Hastings Banner — Thursdc/, August 19, 1992 Weddings, Engagements andnniverSaries: M^^a^neKtoMlow l'°Ur Parents can help ease children into kin­ dergarten by exploring the school and classroom with them, but they should also not forget to map out the route to and from school, says a Michigan State University instructor.

You'll hear the sawing of crickets, the soft rush of the Thomapple, the whirring of tires up Broadway. But you won’t hear the Hastings City Band. This is the first summer in 35 years that the people of Hastings have not been treated to the traditional free concerts. The last time the music died, nothing less than World War 11 was to blame. Uncle Sam was drafting every able-bodied male, including the director, and the band was put on hold until the boys came back. That was in the years 1945-46. Today, ironically, il is lack of personell again that has silenced the band. NO RECORDS are known to exist of the earliest history of the Hastings City Band however it is known that the band gave concerts on the courthouse lawn in the 1890s. It is also known that James Troxel conducted the band from the early 1900s until the 1920s. In the early 20s, Claude Bush con­ ducted. until Raymond Winikenek took over for the 1932-33 season. Then Winikenek moved away, and "Doc" Davis, a local chiropractor, look over until 1936. One of the major milestones of the band look place in 1934, when the people of the City of Hastings voted to set aside millage for the band to meet expenses for salaries and music. Arthur A. Biferno, a man remembered by many for his excellent musicianship and firey temper, directed for two seasons, until Lewis Hine, the high school band director, took over the baton. He held it for 20 years. During those years, the band played ten concerts every summer, mostly on the courthouse lawn. "Il was e full-time job, and I loved it,” says Hine. Hine says he had no trouble finding musicians back then, despite a rule that barred high school students from playing. And it was not unusual for musicians to come to Hastings from out of town to sit in on a concert. "We had a lot of old timers playing for us back then...there wasn't much of a turnover of players" says Hine "You can't mix kids and old timers in the band, well, you can but you'll have problems." In the summer of 1944, Hine was drafted, and spent the next 26 months playing in military bands, and sometimes repairing musical instruments. Back home, the city band had been whittled down to a handful of players, and only marched to the cemetery on Memorial Day, and played dance music for the Coast Guard in the old pavilion at Clear Lake. Hine returned to Hastings in September 1946. and went immediately to work building up the high school music program. “I only had 25 or so students that first year back.” says Hine, and I had to build the program back up.” The city band picked up where it left off in summer. 1947. It was during these postwar years that a longtime Hastings resident. Lorenzo Moss, died. "Lorenzo left $500 to the City band in his will, with the provision that we play by his grave on Memorial Day.” remembers Hine. And for the next ten years, says Hine, the Hastings City Band stopped by Moss's grave during its annual slow march to the cemetery. In 1959, Arthur Steward replaced Hine as City Band director. Steward is credited by many for building up the high school's music program, and for being a stabilizing in­ fluence on the band during the 60s. The 60s proved to be a lime of change for the Hastings City Band. In the 1971 cen­ tennial edition of the history of the City of Hastings, Howard A. Frost and Bud Wolfe, two mainstays of the band, write, "Many of the older members of the band of the 30s have passed on and all of the school mem­ bers have gone out into life to enter the professions, business, or the general labor • force, as well as being housewives.” The band began to draw more and more on high school talent. "If the school band program was strong, there were a lot <rf players for the band," notes William F. Smith, who was band vice president during the 70s. He crHiLs Steward with a strong program Steward retired from music in 1972, and leadership went to Terril Zylman, who had been assistant to Steward. In an effort to keep the band viable, and popular, Zylman and Smith decided it was time for some changes. In the 1930's, the voters of the City of Hastings passed a special millage to support the City Band. Under the directorship of Lewis Hine, the Hastings City Band contained many longtime members. From left are Vern McMillan, Charlie Solomon, Dick Carl and Ross Pierce. Terril Zylman (above), who directed the Hastings City Band from 1973-78, and William F. Smith moved the band from the courthouse lawn to Tyden Park. "We played that first year on the cour­ thouse lawn, like Art had it before,” remembers Smith, "Then Terril and I decided to look around town for a better spot to play, somewhere where we wouldn't have to compete with the motorcycles going down Broadway. "We went down toTyden Park, and spotted that old Kiwanis pavilion in back, and Terril got t he idea to turn it around backwards, and have the people sit toward the river end . We had one concert, toward the end of that year, with a blockbuster crowd, well, to us it was a blockbuster crowd, maybe two or threehundred people," says Smith. Tyden park became the band's new. and last home. "Terril was real good at picking programs,” says Smith, "he picked a lol of Representing Barry County Democrats and Republicans head to state conventions Tom Armsterburg, bond director in 1979, leads the Hastings City Band in a tune under the Kiwanis pavilion in Tyden Park, the band's last home. More than four dozen people were sanc­ tioned by county Democratic and Republican parties to attend their state conventions, this weekend and next weekend. The Democrats held their county con­ vention in the probate courtroom on Wed­ nesday evening and the Republicans met in the circuit courtroom on the same night. C. Wendell Strickland, Republican county ch< irman, said the county convention turned down one of the six resolutions proposed for the state platform, and gave the state delegation no instructions for voting on another. By a 13-9 vote, the county voted against a resolution supporting state and federal manadates requiring foreign and domestic automakers to include a high percentage of American made parts in vehicles sold in the United States. The county convention did not take position on the resolution to support setting up enterprise zones in jobless areas. Attending the state Republican convention thl weekend in Grand Rapids will be Third District delegates Wendell Strickland, F!onta Buckley. Donald Murdoch, Kathryn Ferris, James Rice, George Hubka, Charles Collins, Billie Hayes, Howard Ferris and Mar) Lamb. Alternates attending will be Wilma Strickland, Justin Cooley, Richard Landon. Rosella Collins, Kenneth Radant, Bernie Murdoch. Lloyd Goyings, James Buckley, Cathy Williamson and Ronald Reislerer. Fifth District delegates (Thornapple and Yankee Springs Townships) will be Vickie Jarkatis and James French. Alternates to attend are James Thompson and Margaret McKeown. Strickland said the convention was ad­ dressed by Dean Doty, campaign aide to Richard Milliman, candidate from the Third District. A mailgram from gubernatorial candidate Richard Headlee said that Oakland County Prosecutor Patterson was being asked to run for attorney general and Lt. Gov. James Brickley was being asked to seek a seat on the state supreme court. Headlee defeated them for the nomination for governor, last week. Sue Alexander, secretary of the county Democratic Party, will head the delegation to the state convention from that party. Both Chairperson Richard Reyff and Vice­ chairperson Sanura Pattock will be unable to attend the August 28 and August 29 con­ vention in Flint, Alexander said. Alexander was also selected to serve as an alternate delegate on the state resolution committee, which will draw up the party platform. Locally, the county convention approved the six resolutions. All 24 of the county’s precinct delegates, plus any paid party members, were authorized to attend the convention as delegates. Precinct delegates, elected in last week’s primary election, are Wendell C. Shafer, Frank Francisco, Franklin C. Beck­ with, Robert Casey, Agnew McPharlin, T. Edward McPharlin, Juanita Slocum, Richard Thomas, John J. Loftus, Susan E. Alexander, Beth Ann Hull, Richard Reyff, Susan Reyff, Janette VanRhee, Dorothy Van Orrt, James K. Gordon, Alice J. Brodbeck, Carl A. Brodbeck, Larry J. Raffler, Judith A. Raffler, Norman W. Kappe, Richard F. Tinkler, Barbara Furrow, Sandra Pattok and Gerald Pattok.

Staying on lop of the water helps these lizards escape underwater enemies. light programs, and mixed it up real well. He had a flair for showmanship, if you will...He believed in keeping the concerts popular, rather than making it an educational session for the audience." Smith says that the strength cf the city band matched the strength of the high school band during the 70s. “If the high school band was strong, there was a lot of players for the band,” notes Smith. “We tried to keep the band full of upper classmen, supplemented with a few adults." In 1978, Zylman took a leave of absence from his high school job and didn't return. Bob Oster, choir director al Lakewood High School, filled in as city band director for the 1978 season. In 1979, Tom Amsterburg, who replaced Zylman as the high school band director, took over the city band lor two seasons. Last summer. Oster returned, but only for one season. The future of the band was in doubt. Budget cuts were eating away at the high school's music program, and the band was without a director. Then Bud Wolfe, whom Smith describes as "sort of a legend around here," died. As secretary-treasurer to the band for more years than most people can remember, Wolfe was considered to be a mainstay of the band. Throughout the 70s. the band experienced steady leadership. "We had the same of­ ficers for the last 12 years,” says Dr. Lynn McConnell, city band president up to its last season. "We just don’t have the people with the interest or capability to put on the show,” he says. "If you can't be consistent with the per­ sonell. then it’s not worth doing," says McConnell. Applications being taken for insurance on wheat Wheat growers interested in All Risk insurance for their 1983 crops should contact their insurance agent as soon as possible, according to Barbara Cranson, Federal Crop In­ surance Director. Al'hough the deadline to obtain wheat insurance isn’t until September 30, Cranson suggests that growers should begin making their plans now. Early consideration will provide additional time to develop a program of in­ surance coverage that best meets the individual policyholder's needs. Farmers will find it useful to have their insurance arranged before they visit with their lender about production loans. Insurance helps to minimize the un­ certainty involved in the year ahead cashflow projections that many lenders today require. An early application, added Cranson, allows ad­ ditional time for growers to verify yield records that may enable them to qualify for increased protection. Another reason for the band's demise is the decline of the high school music program, and the lack of high school students willing to play for a token sum. says McConnell. "H’s getting more and more difficult Io get students interested in spending the time on their own to make the concerts go," he says. Band officials have never had problems getting funding from the city, says Mc­ Connell. But this year, nobody even asked the city council for the money. IN AN ERA of recorded music, loud motorcycles, and cuts in music education, there doesn't seem to be much room for a city band. "There was less to do on a sum­ mer night back then." says Howard Frost, who started playing clarinet in the Hastings City band in 1931. Frost says he misses the band, "but times change.” Some changes are for the better. Frost says musicians are better today than they were in his day . "The present day band could circles around us in the 30s," he says. It lakes more than just musicianship to make a band. And a band gives more than just music. To people like Howard Frost, and Lewis Hine, it conjures up warm memories of community and comraderie, and the chronicle of the band becomes the chronicle of the personalities behind the beat. Howard Frost remembers when the uand got its first amplification system. "We were playing on the courthouse lawn, and the band got an amplifier for the vocalist, Lola Ashalter "It worked very well. In fact, on a very still night, you could hear her sing all the way out on Algonquin Lake." GILMORE JEWELERS Pays the Highest Prices for...

The supervisors are spearheading a petition drive to have the proposal on the November ballot. County Clerk Norval Thaler said today (Thursday) that approximately 1.057 signatures would be required to place the proposal on the ballot. Slate law requires signatures of four percent of the registered electors in each township and city to require a vote on the matter. Thaler said the deadline is August 31 for filing petitions to get the proposal on the November ballot. To date, the clerk s office has received petitions carrying some 6(X) signatures on the townships’ request. A number of township supervisors are expected to appear at the county board of commissioners evening meeting on Tuesday, August 24 to discuss their case. The county lax allocation board has already asked commissioners to seek voter approval of an additional half-mill for roads at the November election. That request would keep the county's operating millage intact at 5.87 mills. If sufficient signatures are secured for the supervisors’ proposal, both the allocation board request and the supervisors’ tax rate idea would appear on the November ballot. Thaler said. The proposal receiving the most “yes" votes would become effective. Johnstown Township Supervisor Verlyn Stevens, who serves as secretary-treasurer of the supervisors group, and Hastings Township Supervisor Richard Thomas said Wednesday that the supervisors’ proposal v’ould not cost county taxpayers more money, like the allocation board’s request, but would provide needed funds for roads. They said more petitions, in addition to the 600 signatures, will be turned into the clerk’s office requesting the county board to ask voters to approve a lower tax allocation for the county. The petition asks that the townships receive the extra half-mill for roads for “an Sunday’s Antique Auto Show and Swap Meet at Charlton Park was a record-breaker in the number of visitors, the number of exhbitors and the number of vendors. A total of 6,600 people were at the park during the six-hour show, park officials said, to sec 225 antique and collector cars. 230 vendors lined up to sell their wares, primarily antique car parts. The show, in its 13th years, is sponsored jointly by the park and the Battle Creek Chapter of the Veteran Motor Car Club of America. “It was a nice day," said Bob Judd, chairman of the show for the car club, “that certainly had something to do with (the record breaking crowd)." Judd also pointed to an annual increase in vendors, which attracts more exhibitors looking for parts, who attract more visitors with their cars. He said the antique and collector cars are brought in from primarily a 50 mile radius. "The number of cars that come each year has increased to the point where we have trouble packing them in," Judd said. About 70 percent of the cars were antiques, 25 or more years o’d, he estimated, while 30 percent were collector cars. He said the oldest car he saw displayed was a curved-dash Oldsmobile from the early 1900's. He did not have the owner’s name. 't he club itself has 58 members, Judd said, all antique owners. Judd serves as a club vice-president. “Many people in the club own more than one car," Judd said. The club has an outing every month during the summer, such as picnics and overnight trips. Judd said they often visit museum or something related to antiques. The view out the window of Bristol Inn showed the village green packed with an­ tique and collector cars.

The tax allocation board has agreed on the same allocated millage since 1958 : 5.87 for county, one mill for townships, eight mills for school districts, and .13 mill for intermediate school districts. In addition, the current allocation board is proposing a half mil’ increase for roads, and wants voter approval to freeze all the allocated millage through 1987. The township supervisors’ petitions ask millage to be set at 5.37 for the county. 1.5 mills for townships, eight mills for school districts and .13 mill for intermediate school districts. The extra half mill for townships would generate in the neighborhood of $190,01)0 for roads the first year. However. County Board Chairman Ken­ neth Radant said the county can not afford to forfeit a half mill. Radant said losing a half mill would mean the county, already financially strapped, would be forced into “severe curtainment of services in some areas. I can’t say what those services would be at this point.” Stevens said in recent years the county board “has refused to help much" with road expenses. “They gave $20,000 for roads this year and that’s not loo much"...the town­ ships have carried the brunt of road ex­ penses. he said. "For instance. Johnstown spent $78,000 on roads last year and we'll spend $60,000 this year. With federal revenue sharing and state revenue being cut, townships won't have as much of their own money to spend on roads anymore, Stevens said. "Three years ago the county gave $100,000 for roads and said townships could take it and match it. Well, some townships couldn't afford to match it...," he said. Stevens said the new proposal for road funds would be better because it would not have to be matched. Each township could spend the half-mill of its state equalized valuation directly on roads. “We’ve got a lot of poor roads in this county." he said. All is dry as city drain work is completed in Hastings by Ken Reibel Use tax planning to build capital The best way to build capital is to make lots of money in the 50 percent tax bracket and shelter half of it. This may sound like an outragious statement, but what it really means is that tax planning is critical to your financial well-being. With your tax bill the highest bill you’re likely to pay each year, you owe it to yourself to take advantage of all the legitimate ways to reduce that bill. In fact, you may be able to ask for a cut in your paycheck or refuse your next pay raise in order to build capital Many of these tax breaks are a result of last year’s tax act and the money you save may help you build your capital base. Depending upon your goals, your income and your tax bracket, you can cut your tax bill through retirement plans, tax-exempt investments and real estate, just to mention a few. Always consider the tax effect before applying for a loan, or making a major purchase In addition, always know what your taxtable income is. That’s the amount you pay tax on after you've subtracted all your deductions, exemptions and other adjustments from your gross income. Once you know your taxable income, then you know what your tax bracket is. You also need to understand the effect of unearned income. That's interest, dividends, TOWNSHIP of WOODLAND Notice of Public Hearing on... INCREASING PROPERTY TAXES The Township Board of the Township of Woodland, will hold a public hearing at 7:30 P.M. on MONDAY, AUGUST 23, 1982 in Spindler Memorial Library, 186 North Main St.. Woodland, Michigan to receive testi­ mony and discuss a proposed additional 1982 Township operating and extra voted Fire Department, Cemetery and Township millage rate. Because of a new State law (Act 5 of 1982) the Township base rote is reduced to 2.6409 mills for 1982, However the Township has complete authority to establish the number of mills to be levied from within its authorized millage rate. In order to maintain basic Township services the Township proposes to levy an additional millage rate of .3207 mills (32 7/100 cents perSlOOOSEV) above the 2.6409 mill base tax rate or a total operating and extra voted rate of 2.9616 mills (S2.9616 per $1000 SEV). This will provide an estimated 12.14% increase in Township operating and extra voted revenues. Public comment on this proposed increase is welcome at the Public Hearing. CAROL HEWITT Woodland Township Clerk (616)367-2164 rentals and other monies which are taxed, but from which no withholding is made. Some of these may also be taxed at a different rate. A capital gain, for instance, is not all taxed, only 40 percent of the gain is added to your income. If you’re in the 50 percent bracket, you are paying tax on only 20 percent of the gain. A benefit of the new tax laws is the all­ savers certificates which you can buy until the end of 1982. You can exclude from income up to $1,000 in interest paid on these cer­ tificates. (On a joint return you can exclude up to $2,000). Consider this only if you are in or above the 30 percent tax bracket, CPAs advise. Until 1985, you can get a tax break worth up to $750 ($1500 on a joint return) on some public utility stocks. Simply use your dividends to purchase more shares instead of taking them in cash. The way to build capital by taking a cut in pay is through a company-sponsored • salary reduction" plan. This is similar ol the Individual Retirement Account (IRA) but you can invest more money in it. As with an IRA, the amount set aside isn't included in your income, so you pay no tax on it. Investment earnings on the money also accumulate tax-free. Under a salary reduction plan.you may be able to invest rp to 25 percent of your salary, although the average for all employees in a plan is restricted to 15 percent. An IRA limits you to $2,000 or $2,500 with a non-working spouse. If you take your money in a lump sum from a salary reduction plan it qualifies for special income averaging that treats the amount as if it were received over 10 years, and taxes it apart from other income. In contrast, money taken from an IRA is taxed as regular income. Furthermore, you may be able to borrow from a salary reduction account, a step that’s prohibited in IRAs. One big catch: unless you meet the exemptions for early withdrawal, you can’t take money out of a salary reduction plan before age 59-‘2, even if you are willing to pay a penalty.

Sept. 3-6. greater Lansing will be hosting what is billed as the "World's Largest Softball Tournament”. The Michigan Amateur Softball Association (A.S.A.) will commemorate their 50th anniversary with a tour­ nament of tournaments. ASA officials anticipate nearly 300 Michigan teams (men and women, all speeds and classes), and 4,000 to 5.000 players to participate in 20 tournaments on 14 fields in the Lansing area. And all the games are free. “It isn’t very muddy anymore," says Audrey Burdick, Barry County Drain Commissioner, of the field located between the fairgrounds and Green St. Burdick completed an inspection of the property Wednesday following a clean out of about 3,000 feet of underground tile known as the Hastings City Drain. The work was initiated last June when residents of the drain district, which includes about 20 homes, the fairgrounds, and Pen­ nock hospital, petitioned to have the drain inspected. Residents had been complaining of standing water and mosquito infestation, and suspected that the land was not draining properly. According to Burdick, the drain, built in 1891, was backed up by silt. Work was performed by Tomlin and Sons Excavating from Delton. Burdick says two manholes were added to the drain, plus a cement "dolly" to facilitate future water jet cleanouts of the drain. Burdick says the excavators recommend a jet cleanout next year, and every two to three years afterward. Total cost of the project is $14,227.54. Approximately $8,520 of that amount will be paid by the city, county, township and fairgrounds, with the remainder of the tab picked up by drain district residents. The cost of future cleanouts, at about $500 a shot, will be shared by drain district residents, says Burdick. There are 243 drain districts in Barry County. Brown bag it with caution I f your children are going to brown bag it when it comes to school lunches, make sure you follow a few simple steps to prevent food poisioning, says a Michigan State University food and nutrition specialist. Carolyn Lackey, from MSU’s Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition, says that a combination of proper sanitation, food selection and temperature control will insure that sack lunches are safe for eating. When preparing lunches, make sure all containers and vacuum bottles have been thoroughly cleaned. Lackey also says that materials such as foil and waxed pap».T should not be reused. She emphasizes that a bag lunch which is not going to be refrigerated should contain only nonpenshable foods. In this group are dry meats such as beef jerky and dried beef, cheeses and cheese spreads, peanut butter and jelly, fully-cooked meats such as bologna and canned meats which are opened and eaten immediatelv. She suggests that foods which work well in an unrefrigerated sack lunch are fresh fruits, unshelled hard-boi'ed eggs, vegetable sticks, fruit or vegetable juices and nut breads. If a sack lunch can't be refrigerated. Lackey says items can be frozen ahead of time than placed in lunch sacks, where they should be thawed by lunch time. However, since mayonnaise and salad dressing, egg salad, jelly, tomatoes and lettuce do not freeze well, these items should be avoided, she notes. Lackey says perishable foods can be used in sack lunch only if it is going to be eaten within two or three house and has not been exposed to temperatures in the bacteria growth range of 40-140 degrees F. “If your child .'eaves the house at 7:30 a.m. and doesn't eat lunch until noon, the lunch you pack should not contain perishable foods unless there is refrigeration," she warns.

Kim Fults was crowned Miss Delton during ceremonies Friday. Serving as her court were Rita Weick, Cari Morris, Adrienne Bosworth, and Carla Johnson. Lucy Boykin of Guersney Lake was honored as grand marshal of the Saturday parade. The Delton Area Chamber of Commerce, sponsors of the event, selected Mrs. Boykin in recognition of her “im­ measurable contributions to the education end encouragement of youth as a teacher in ro». our community and as an inspiration to the adults around her. and for her continued generosity of time, energy, and ideas in retirement years to raise funds to provide resources for college scholarships for local students." Entertainment at the event ranged from an arts and crafts show to an outhouse race and from a big parade line-up through town to a street dance to conclude the festival. The thousands of persons who attended made the ninth annual weekend of fun the biggest on record since the chamber initiated the event. °rChOrd St '°r 'he Ch°mber'5 ,ir” °U,h°USe The Delton Kellogg High School marching bond received a first place for tho best marching unit in the parade. Registration underway for SummerFest run Kim Fults reigned over the festivities as "Miss Delton" Annual bridge walk marks “Big Mac’s” 25th year The 25th Annual Labor Day morning Bridge Walk will be dedicated this year to the silver anniversary of the opening of the Mackinac Bridge which took place on November 1, 1957. More than 33,000 perrons are expected to participate in the stroll. September 6, from St. Ignace to Mackinaw City, the only day of the year when pedestrians are allowed on the bridge. Governor William G. Milliken, who has lead the Bridge Walk for the past 13 years, will be making his farewell hike as Michigan's Chief Executive. It is expected that he will be accompanied by former Governor and now Associate Supreme Court Justice G. Mermen Williams, who was recently appointed by Governor Milliken as chairman of a committee to guide the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the bridge. The Inlei national Walkers Association originally requested permission to conduct walking races over the bridge in connection with the Bridge Dedication in June of 1958. Governor Williams made that first walk with only 55 other participants. The 1WA will once again sponsor novice races for men and women and boys and girls. Registration will take place until 7 a.m. Monday moming at a desk adjacent to the Administration Building at the Fare Plaza (north side). The entry fee is 50 cents. The races will commence promptly at 7:15 a.m. The general Bridge Walk will start at 7:30 a.m. Nostarts will be permitted after iO a.m. Participants are urged to get to the starting line at the Fare Plaza as early as possible. The Bridge Authority will be operating more than 70 buses to transport walkers from Mackinaw City to St. Ignace starting at 6 a.m. The boarding area is near the Traverse Bay Woolen Company on Huron Street. The fare is 50 cents for adults and free for children under 12 accompanied by adults. However, bridge walkers are warned that they may have to wait in line for several hours for a bus ride. Every effort should be made to obtain other means of tran­ sportation to get to the starting line by 10 a.m. The 144th Michigan National Guard from Owosso will maintain traffic and crowd control on the bridge, at the Fare Plaza, and in Mackinaw City. Personnel stationed on the bridge will enforce rules and regulations governing the Bridge Walk: no running, jogging or roller skating: no climbing on bridge railings or walking in driving lanes; no bicycles pushed or ridden. North and southbound automobile traffic is maintained during the bridge walk on the two west lanes of the bridge. Walkers will use the two east lanes until 10 a.m. at which time they will be squeezed into one east lane so that the surge of southbound Labor Day traffic can be accommodated without undo delax Traditionally, in election years, candidates for public office assemble for the Mackinac Bridge Walk and are often accompanied by pompon girls, musical aggregations, signs and sometimes gifts. Bands, drum and bugle corps, square dancers and a wide variety of fund-oriented groups are expected among the strollers from all over the country who perennially enjoy walking from Michigan’s Upper to Lower Peninsulas over the historic Straits of Mackinac. Walkers will receive numbered cer­ tificates attesting to the completion of the Bridge Walk. Should the number of the certificate coincide with a number posted in Mackinaw City store windows, the cer­ tificate owners will receive prizes worth up to 1,500 dollars donated by Mackinaw City merchants and the Chamber of Commerce. The only dogs permitted to participate in the Bridge Walk are seeing-eye dogs. This rule is strictly enforced for the convenience and safety of the majority of the bridge walkers. Also, participants should bear in mind that there are no relief stations on the bridge. Porta-johns will be positioned at the north and south ends of the bridge. Plans are underway and registration forms are available for the fifth annual Hastings Summer Run on tap for Saturday, Aug. 28. The 7.2 mile road race, which is part of the annual Hastings SummerFest activities, starts and finishes at the Barry County Courthouse. “The course is attractive to both the competitive racer and the jogger offering city streets and country roads, mostly level, with enough hills to make the run challenging but not defeating,’’ John Johnston, a race organizer reported. Trophies will be awarded to the top finishers in each of seven divisions for men and women. Time splits will be announced at the end of each mile, and finish times will be an­ nounced and posted. All finishers will receive a ribbon, as well as a mailing of the official race results. Team competition will be held for any pre­ registered groups of fixe runners wishing to enter. Early entry fee is $5 if mailed before Friday, Aug. 20, and $6 after that date. The fee includes race entry and a Hastings SummerFest runner shirt. Registration will be held up to 7:45 a.m. on race day. Two hundred runners are expected for this years event, Johnston said. A fun run will also be held, starting at 8:35 a.m.. Entry isopen to anyone who is properly conditioned and wishes to participate. Ribbons will be presented to the first 100 finishers. Entry forms for the race are available at Leary's Sports Center, Birke’s Shoes, Barry County Lumber Home Center, Wayne’s Shoes and the Chamber of Commerce office in Hastings. For more information call 9452454. The Summer Run is one of the athletic contests that will be part of SummerFest. Also on tap are a softball tournament and a weightlifting contest.

The ancestors of today’s dolls were made of clay, wood, and other materials. They are uncovered wherever archeologists explore ancient sites. It is difficult to decide, however, whether these are really dolls (in the sense of toys) or images of magic and religious significance. Egyptian tomb figures, for example, were not playthings, but small effigies of agricultural workers, boatmen, servants, or soldiers. They were buried with the dead, and designed to provide for and protect them in the afterworld. Miniature soldiers have been found in the burial mounds and tombs of Egypt. Il has been suggested that the first ’’doll’’ in the world may have been a soldier. Small bronze Phoenician figures wearing helmets and carrying shields and swords have been found in Sardinia and Italy. These ancient figures prove that the art of metal casting was well advanced before the Christian era. One of the oldest surviving dolls in western Europe is a jointed ten inch clay doll from ancient Etrusia, a power older than Rome, in central Italy. This Etruscan doll, now in the Newark, N.J. Museum, dates from 700 B.C. It is crudely modeled, but has the markings of true workmanship. The body parks are fastened together with metal pins, a method similar to the one used much later in assembling wooden dolls. Terra-cotta dolls, similar to this one, and made about the same time, have been found in Greece. Their original purpose is not known. The making of talisman or “magic" dolls did not cease in ancient times. Voodoo dolls, or ’•spite" dolls, appear in the folklore of many countries. They are the evil talismans oi some dark age when the effigy of an enemy was fashioned of rags or wax and stuck with pins, and cursed with wizard jargon. In Japan, clay dolls three to six inches tall were used as charms against sickness or misfortune. Children who played with these "lucky" dolls were supposed to grow up healthy and wealthy. From South Africa come pairs of fertility dolls, male and female, called “Ndebele". The symbolic figures have significance as fetishes for insuring fertility and the production of crops. Early fertility dolls were made of wood, while later ones were constructed of wire and beadwork. American Indians have long used dolls as talismans. One practice of the Ojibwa tribe of Lake Superior recalls the ancient Egyp­ tian belief that a dead child is loo young to care for itself in the next world. They, therefore, made a doll of feathers to be buried with the child as a companion. The cultural ancestors of most American dolls are those of western Europe, beginning with the toy soldier. Although no toy soldier survived from the Middle Ages, old wood cuts show children playing with them and museums Lave records verifying their existence. It was during the reign of Frederick the Great of Germany that a tin founder in Nuremburg became the first mass-producer of tin soldiers. Soon, all the countries of Europe demanded toy soldiers dressed in the uniform of their armies. During the Middle Ages, sculpture was used to adorn the cathedrals and to help teach Bible stories to worshippers who could not read or write. Doll-like figures were carved from wood in the forms of cherubs and saints to be used as religious symbols, rather than toys. Figures of the Christ child were prominent. Puppets were known in ancient Egypt. They are said to have been popular in China before 1000 B.C. and have long been known in Japan, India, Java, and Bali. The ancestors of our present-day American puppets are, of course, those of western Europe. They were used in plays of domestic comedy, or even political satire. In France, puppets became the mouthpiece of malcontents. During the French Revolution, puppet acts quite often showed victims being beheaded — an en­ tertainment purveyed almost in the shadow of the guillatine. About 1634, in the Netherlands, paper dolls known as Pantins were originated. These jointed, often life-sized figures were sometimes made of wood, but more often of paper or cardboard It was fashionable for members of the French Court to carry their Pantins whever they went, as did the com­ mon people. The craze lasted from 1745 to 1756, and ended with an order from Paris police prohibiting the display of Pantins, on the grounds that it was dangerous for ex­ pectant mothers to see the twisted limbs of the doll figures, for fear of “marking" their unborn child. Around 1860, dozens of paper dolls were printed commercially in London, New York, and Paris. Among these are the beautiful Rafael Tuck dolls, fervently sought by collectors. 1981 Barry County and Michigan V4 expenditure figures are in Veterans Administration expenditures in Barry County amounted to $2,(60,039 and $634,471,599 for Michigan in 1981, according to a release from the Veterans Ad­ ministration Office of Public and Consumer Affairs.

Bowers said that “every player came through in the tournament". Pitching was the strong point with Stan Hause and Billy Gibbs allowing just three runs and 18 hits in the four games. Gibbs tossed a two-hitter for the first win of the tourney on Saturday, a dramatic 6-2 win over LaBello's of Muskegon. Larry Allerding provided the dramatics with a grand slam capping a five run rally in the bottom of the seventh for the win. Bowersand Kevin Beyer each had two hits to lead the offensive attack in the thriller. Hause tossed a four hitter in the second game of the tourney Saturday, leading the locals to a 5-1 win over Holden Electric of Webberville. Allerding popped another round '-ipper in that game. Bowers left the tournament at that time, because his daughter Deb was getting married.

These snakes use firewood stacks and scrap piles as favorite places to hide. Some end up in basements because they are looking for a place to spend the winter.

August 19, 1982 — Poge 10 Farm prices continue downward Antique collector keeps his cars simple The Index of Paces received by Michigan farmers for all farm products averaged 129 percent of its 1977 base The monthly Index for the month ending July 15. dropped 1 percent from the previous month. Farm prices were down 6 percent from a year ago, according to the Michigan Agricultural Reporting Service (FederalState). The Index of Prices Paid by farmers. Nationwide, for commodities and services, interest, taxes and farm wages for July was 157 percent of its 1977 base, a slight increase from last month. The Prices Received Index was down 1 percent for all crops and all livestock and livestock products. The overall price decline was tempered by higher prices for com­ mercial vegetable and poultry and eggs. Prices for all other commodity groups were down from the previous month. For individual commodities price in­ creases were seen in potatoes, eggs and hogs which were up 13. 10 and 1 percent respec­ tively. All other farm products were down with the exception of hay. which displayed no change. Oat prices declined 38 cents per bushel and dry beans dropped $1.90 per hundredweight. by Robert J. Johnston You won’t find any fancy ornaments on Leland Warren’s cars. Nope, to Leland they’re poor men’s cars. They were poor men’s cars when they were new and Leland thinks his Fords should remain as poor men’s cars. “I don’t believe in putting on a lol of ac­ cessories. because they weren’t there when they were new.’’ the While Pigeon antique auto collector says. Leland takes a look around Sunday’s an­ tique auto show at Charlton Park and ob­ serves how many of his fellow collectors decorate their cars with things like white wall tires. “If a man had money to buy all those ex­ tras when he was buying it new,” Leland remarks, “he would have bought a better car.” Leland drove to Charlton Park in his 1935 Ford, one of three Fords he has restored. The other two, both 1929 Model A s, stayed in storage at his farm. Leland has been a collector for most of his life, but his first passion was antique trac­ tors, a hobby he pursued for 25 years I !e still has an Advance Rumley Oil Pull tractor stored away, which he sometimes gets out and takes to a show. He says that he was growing ”a little tired” of his tractor collecting, so without knowing what he was looking for. he scouted around for an antique car. “1 hunted a car not knowing that 1 would prefer Fords instead of Chevys,” Leland remembers. That first antique was a 1939 Chevrolet which he restored and sold. He says that he sold it without really intending to by telling the buyer how much he’ • take for it. At the time he sold his Chevy, Leland already had a Model A, but it was tom down for restoration. Without his Chevy, he had nothing to drive, so he purchased another Model A for pleasure driving. He bought his ’35 Ford from a Lansing collector in 1978 in what he called “quite restorable condition" “You can expect to rebuild the engine, transmission and brakes to bring a car up so that it’s safe enough to drive," Leland says. "You’re going to put a new interior in. It’s pretty rare to find one with a really I Aland Warren looks out from the driver's seat of hi# 1935 Ford. presentable interior." He had his latest purchase torn down for two years before it was road ready. He did all of the restoration work on it himself except for the painting, which was redone in the original green. He got his car back together in August 1980 and he and his wife, Doris, have put 5,200 miles on it driving for pleasure and attending antique duto shows. They attend about a dozen shows a year in Michigan and Indiana within a hundred miles of their home. But, it isn't the shows or the driving that keeps Leland hooked to his hobby. “I do it for enjoyment," he says flatly "There’s nothing I like any better. After you’ve got one restored, at least half of the pleasure is over with.

He says that he's always looking for another car. The Model A’s still have his eye. but the Fords like his '35 travel a little easier and are more comfortable, he says. Unlike old tractor collecting, the antique cars also give the Warrens something they Banner Photo can share together as they travel. Doris also says there is another benefit to Leland’s hobby. "I know where he's at out in the back shed,” she laughs. Sunday’s annual show at Charlton Park was attended by a record crowd of more than 5,200 people. No official count of exhibitors was available Monday. Students should teach themselves Most colleges don’t offer courses in how to manage money; but it’s a lesson where students might benefit. It’s easier to plan a budget and forecast your cash flow then to try to stretch your dollars to meet your needs. So whether you’re just entering college or are simply determined to bring your financial affairs under control, here are some helpful ties. The amount of planning you do depends on how independent you are. If you support yourself, you'll have to plan more ex­ tensively than someone who isn’t financially independent. Your expenses will also differ if you live at home, dormitory or apartment. Start by listing your expenses and estimating those you can’t specify. Your large expenses might include tuition, room and board, books and transportation. But. incidental daily expenses can add up quickly. Total all these expenses to find how much money you’ll need for the first semester Then repeat the process to include the second semester too. Now leak at your cash situation. At the beginning of the year, you’ll probably have a lump sum of money from past savings, loans, grants and other sources. Add the amount you expect to make from part-time or work­ study jobs to find your total. If your expenses are higher than your income, you can either borrow or earn more money, or reduce your expenses. Next, note when your bills fall due. If your total tuition and board expenses are due all at once, your expenses are probably heaviest at the beginning or end of each semester. Make sure the cash is availabe. You might investigate tuition plans that spread payments out over the semester or even over the academic year. Divide your daily expenses and discretionary spending into weekly or nv thly amounts. This is the amount of money you should withdraw periodically from your checking or savings account. While most of your money will be ear­ marked for specific expenditures, the amount you have in your account should be working for you. Investigate local banks Dial cater to students and offer discounted or free services. School credit unions might be more convenient and offer higher interest rates. If you receive loans or grants for a semester or two in advance, consider keeping this money separate from checking account. Because you can commit this money for a longer period of time, you can place it in a less liquid account and earn higher interest. These days, more students are holding part-time jobs to keep up with rising school costs. If you do need another job, check with your school employment office about on campus or local jobs. This way you can cut down on transportation costs that reduce your income. Some schools offer jobs only to those who qualify financially. If you don't qualify, you may be able to get one of these jobs later in the semester when other students quit to devote more time to academics. Making a budget and projecting a cash flow won’t give you the money you need if you don’t have it. But it can point out in advance when you might run short. This way. you can plan ahead and avoid sur­ prises. Call Jim, Dave or John at 945-3412 The women of the Hastings Country Club hosted the Riverbend women at the annual exchange on Tuesday, August 10.

Health Department officials of Barry and Allegan County, and law enforcement of­ ficials of the Department of Natural Resources said Wednesday that the woman, whose name and address were not released, was asked to not use the water as a precautionary measure. 'Methaline chloride, an organic com­ pound. was found in wells in the area, but not al a level that is usually considered dangerous." ' Bill Hinz, director of en­ Vol. 127, No. 33 vironmental health in Allegan County said. "The v oman was asked to not use the water because there is no sense in taking chances with the reaction of the unborn child." KAV-Co.. Landfill, located in section 30 of Prairieville Township, is believed to be the source of the contamination, officials at both health departments and John Kennedy of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources enforcement division said. Kennedy said testing of 19 wells in the area showed evidence of ground water con­ tamination. The evidence will be presented to Michigan's attorney general's office and they will advise the DNR as to what measures to take. Hastings, Michigan Heavy rains can’t dampen 10-year-old Chad Miller's enthusiasm for play. Especially when you can dig canals and make the water flow from one puddle to the next...which is exactly what Chad and his playmates were doing at Bob King Park Wednesday afternoon. by Robert J. Johnston A cable television company has been blocked from running lines through the city even though half of the Hastings City Council voted in its favor twice^ Richard Shaw, city attorney, ruled two weeks ago that to comply with the city charter, an element for the firm must be approved by al least five of the eight members. That hasn't happened yet. Monday evening, the council voted 4-2, with one member absent and one member abstaining, to grant Charter Telecom­ munications an easement to run lines through the city to service areas in Hastings Township. Two weeks ago, the council voted 4-1, with two members absent and one member abstaining, to grant the easement. Voting against the easement were David Jasperse (Fourth Ward>, the only dissenter in the first vote, and Gordon Fuhr (Third Ward), who was absent two weeks ago. William Cook (Fourth Ward) abstained. Fuhr noted that the city would receive no compensation for granting the easement under the proposed resolution that detailed the routes the cables would use. Jasperse had earlier raised the same argument. "We're giving away all these easments on cable TV." Fuhr said after the meeting, "and I think that someday they'll be worth something to the city.” Fuhr also said another cable on poles in the city would be another obstacle for crews to work around to service other lines or move poles. Jasperse commented after the meeting that he was uncomfortable giving away something that was not giving any benefit to the citizens of lhe city. The Clark Family Players of northwest Detroit will be presenting a variety show filled with family entertainment at 1:30 p.m. Saturday during the Summer-Fest celebration in Hastings.

"All evidence at this time points to the landfill, Essling said." Kennedy said the chemicals found should not be "showing up. in ground water." Contamination of ground water is a violation of public act 245, Essling said Officials at KAV-Co. and and an attorney for the company could not be reached for comment. Thursday, August 26,1982 Cable TV firm loses 2nd vote at city council Playground engineers... With a variety show reminiscent of vaudeville, the Clark Family Players of Detroit will make their Hastings debut as a featured attraction of the Summer-Fest entertainment line-up this weekend. The Clarks will perform with puppetry, magic, singing, harmonica-guitar playing, tap dancing, juggling, pantomime, imitations, clown routines, and balloon sculpture when they take the courthouse stage al 1:30 p.m. Saturday in downtown Hastings. Admission to the outdoor performance is free as part of the Summer-Fest activities presented by the Hastings Area Cnarnber of Commerce. Cost of entertainment for the fest is underwritten by donations of local businesses, said John Warren, general chairman of the event. The Cla k family is comprised of Mary Ulen and Gerald and their children: Eileen. 1^. Eugene. 17. and Christopher, 15. The family team has performed all over Michigan and in Ohio at community and church festivals, the Michigan State Fair, and on television and radio. Wearing clown make-up and bright costumes, the family's variety show is geared to their theme that "Family En­ tertainment is Fun.” Originally from Scranton. Pennsylvania, the Clarks now reside in northwest Detroit. It was on a trip to visit relatives back in Penn­ sylvania several years ago. that the family's talents were awakened. To while away the hours during the long drive, they began singing and humming together and discovered that they were really enjoying themselves. After friends viewed their “act,” the Clarks were soon asked to perform before their church parish, senior citizens, retarded children, and the hospitalized. Gradually, they added more than singing to their repertoire and now spend most of their spare time performing The mother and father of the act are both teachers. Gerald works full time as an ad­ ministrator for the Detroit Public Schools Tiieir three children have studied tap dancing for six years. Eileen also has studied Kennedy said that KAV-Co., applied to be licensed by the DNR in 1979, and the license was denied. They contested the decision and have been allowed to operate under a "consent agreement", in which they do specific things to come under the guidelines of public act 641, an act designed to regulate the disposal of waste. Esslingsaid the contamination of the wells does not mean that dumping at the landfill since 1979 is responsible for the con­ tamination. "The chemical found could be from something dumped there even 15 years ago.” he said. Essling said a hydrogeologic investigation of the ground water shows it runs in a north "I want them to apply for a franchise m something like that," Jasperse said. Charles Leonard of Charter Telecom­ munications told the council at an earlier session that his firm was not interested in applying for a franchise in the city at this lime. Triad Cable TV7 currently holds a franchise, but lhe city charier does not allow lhe council to grant an exclusive franchise. Shaw told the council that requiring compensation for granting lhe easement would be beyond the resolution as written and would require different procedures to comply with lhe city charier. Leonard was not available for comment afler the meeting on lhe firms plans without lhe city easements He had projected that the easements would save $30,000 over the cost of running lines around the city limits. Charter Telecommunications has been given franchises in nine Barry County townships. The council unanimously approved $68,000 worth of water improvement projects, each installing eight inch mains to replace old lines. Projects approved were: — 425 feet on East South Street between Hanover and East streets costing $14,200, — 1,224 feet on West Madison Street between Market and Benton streets costing $40,000; and — 323 feel on West Walnut Street between Washington and Park streets, costing $13,800.

The Hastings City Council, Monday, approved three more water main replacement projects. Elementary teachers gather to study new math books by Ken Reibel About 40 elementary school teachers gathered at Southeastern Elementary Tuesday to get acquainted with the school system s new math books. Dave Styf. Southeastern principal and math committee chairman, called the group “very enthusiastic". The new series, titled "Mathematics in Our World”, will be used by the 1,700 Hastings students in grades kindergarten through sixth, and is published by lhe Ad­ dison-Wesley Co. It replaces the SilverBurdett series, which the schools have used since 1973. “We looked at different grade levels, then fit our goals and objectives to help pace the children,” says Styf. The cost of the books range from $3.21 for the kindergarten lx»ok. to $8.53 for grades three and up. Math books, says Styf. are usually meant •o be replaced every five years. Styf says the emphasis on the new elementary math is in problem solving, known to past generations as story problems A sample story problem from a fourth grade edition of "Mathematics in our World": "Josie ran for 15 minutes each day for three days a week She swam for :«> minutes each day two days a week. How much time was this in all?” In addition, the book uses dice, spinning wheels, basebail cards and other props to teach math skills. Styf also cites a need to “challenge students' higher faculties, and take them beyond the four basic functions of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division." An important aspect of the series, says Styf, is that story problems involve more than one function. “Instead of lhe student finding the solution by just adding, or just multiplying, the student might find out that he'll have to do both to find the answer." Styf says a committee of 14 teachers spent all last year studying math bode series before settling on the Addison-Wesley books. The comnrttee started the selection process by setting out certain criteria, says Styf. "For instance, at what grade level do we introduce multiplication? How much emphasis should we give multiplication at the fourth grade level? and so on. "We looked at different grade levels, then fit our goals and objectives to help pace the children." says Styf. Then some of the teachers piloted, or used four of the series in their own classrooms. Later, the field was narrowed tc two - the Addison Wesley and the Harcourt-Brace series. Members of the committee travelled to schools that used the two systems - Niles for Addison-Wesley, and Lansing Waverly lor Harcourt-Brace. Finally, the committee settled on AddisonWesley. "There were so many reasons.” says Styf, "most of all, Addison fit lhe criteria that the committee had set for math books." Members of the math committee were Barb Schneider. Joy McNab and Amy V-gt (Northeastern); Shirley Keeler. Anne Price, John Merit and Eldon Willard (Central); Maureen Mullenix, Viola Pufpaff, Roberta Wilbe and Dave Styf (Southeastern); MaryAckerson (Pleasantview); Joyce Conklin (Jr. High) and Jim Metzger (High School). Hastings elementary teachers will soon be using the 1983 edition of "Mathematics in Our World" in their classrooms. Pictured above are (from left) Dave Styf. Southeastern Elementary principal.

Sgt. Richard Zimmerman of the state police stands with one of several thousand marijuana plants which grew until Friday in an area cornfield. State Police comb corn rows in search of pot State police from the Hastings team swept through rows of corn on Larry Haywood's farm Friday uprooting well over 2,000 marijuana plants. The illicit crop first turned up in Haywood’s field late last fall. Haywood took the matter to Lie Barry County Sheriff Dept., which advised the farmer to plow the weeds under. Officials thoight the problem was solved until recently, when they were alerted to the field by a number of cars parked in the area. Government failings described TO THE EDITOR: The constitution provides penalties for infringement upon our rights including our right to freedom of speech and to privacy yet too often, our rights are denied us! By who? I know quite a few "who's"! According to reports that reach me our so trusted government and our so just judicial system have about collapsed as to being what it should be! I have reports stating that: The Veterans Administration estimates $350 million in overpayments to educational benefits! Food stamp studies found more than 500 million in over-issuances due to errors and fraud! and individuals combing the rows lor pot. "From the traffic out here, it’s obvious that this place is well known." says Michigan Stale Police Sgt Richard Zimmerman. And on August 15, Michigan Slate Police intercepted three Hastings men walking away late at night with bags of freshly picked pot. They all plead guilty to possession of a controlled substance, a misdemeanor. Zimmerman says the picked plants, which filled a whole pick-up truck box, were burned on Haywood's farm at day’s end. Labor Department audits revealed $78.9 million in unemployment insurance costs as “questionable”! Medical doctor bills paid for unnecessary or duplicate services! Bills paid for unperformed medical treatments! Farming couple gave double, low interest crop loss loans! People applying for welfare under several names! Stores accepting food stamps for liquor, cigarettes, even TV sets! Operators of school lunch programs over stating number of children fed and cost of meals! The above is but a small part of the total! The worst part is the government has become ineffective in fighting white collar crimes! Due to rising levels of violent crime, overcrowded prisons, lengthy court delays, etc. I could add the cost of trials, too, with money so tight. So laws, as far as white collar crimes are concerned, have no "teeth"! What next? Most of this nation has let down the ser­ vicemen who fought, suffered and died for freedom, justice, fair dealing and democracy! Why? Have people no concern? 1 have! If government cannot, or will not do right will the people oppose such things themselves or don't they have the guts? Last June the news said more surplus food would be distributed in July but where...to other lands? What goes on with surplus foods? More rip-offs? Few seem to realize how many of our rights are denied us today. Adults are not kids to boss around or hold in bondage financially or by social rules nor by denial of rights! Americans face a major test. The future is at stake! Cy Trainer Middleville, Ml A 26-year-old Hastings man is in critical condition in Grand Rapids' Butterworth hospital after losing control of his car on Chief Noonday Road late Sa’urday night. Russell Patrick Seger, 2404 McCann Rd., was westbound on Chief Noonday Road near Gun Lake Rd. when the mishap occurred. Michigan State Police say Seger's car began to zig zag, then struck a road sign and en­ tered a ditch before hitting some trees. Seger was taken to Pennock Hospital with neck and back injuries, then transferred to Butterworth where he was reported to be in critical condition Wednesday night in the surgical intensive care unit. A Kalamazoo man was admitted to Pennock for observation Saturday night after losing control of his vehicle on Green Lake Road. Kenneth Robert Schaffter. 18, W. Kilgore St., was eastbound near Cherry Valley Rd. when, sheriff deputies say, the car left the road, struck a mailbox, then crossed the road, struck a rock and rolled over. A passenger in Schaffter's car was reported unhurt in the accident.

What do you think of this recommendation? Do terminally ill patients have the right to decide how long their life support apparatus remain on? Plainwell man draws year sentence for attempted B & E Lowan Leroy Conant, 39,7th St.. Plainwell, was sentenced in Barry Circuit Court Friday to on< year in jail and three years probation for the attempted breaking and entering last May of a Long Point Drive cottage.

In addition to time spent, Conant was also ordered to pay $500 in costs and $120 in restitution. IN OTHER Circuit Court action Friday: Jack Willard Main, Jr., 18, Fuller St., Nashville, was sentenced to three years probu on and four months jail for the May 22 break-in of the Nashville VFW Hall. Main was sentenced for attempted larceny in a building, a crime punishable by two years in prison, a $1,000 fine or both. A count of larceny in a building was dismissed by Judge Robinson. Eric W.

Mode O’ Day celebrating 50 years in business The Hastings Banner welcomes and encourages letters to the editor as a means of expressing an opinion or point of view on subjects of current general interest. The following guidelines have been established to help you. • Make your letter brief and to the point. • Letter should in­ clude the signature, address and telephone number of the writer. • All letters should be written in good taste. Letters which are libelous or defamatory should not be submitted. We re­ serve the right to reject, edit or make any changes such as spelling and punctuation. "Yes" says Sandra Brimmer of Hastings, "it’s definitely up to the patient if they want an agent or the doctor to make that decision." Brimmer adds "If the doctor thinks that ithe patient) can’t live long enough, then i terminating life support apparatus) is up to the doctor or the agent...so I'm for this." "I'd be in favor of it", says Chalmer Miller, a minister from Freeport. "There would be cases where, mentally, the patient would not be able to (make that decision), but generally I think it's a good idea "Like myself. I wouldn't want to be lied up for two or three years, wasting away, making people work." says Milter Larry Nicholson of Hastings likes the task forces recommendation. "I think people should have the right to decide of they want logo on suffering, or have the plug pulled. It would be cruel if they went on suffering." says Nicholson. He believes that the appointment of an agent would take pressure off doctors. "It would give the patients a choice and take tne blame off of the doctor's shoulders," says Nicholson. "That decision should be left to the family as a group,” says Jim Martin of Hastings. He adds that the decision to pul) the plug still puts a lot of pressure on doctors, despite the appointment of an agent. "I can't see why we should be wasting our money,” says Francis Misak of Middleville, "and especially when you get into that older age. I believe it would be (a good idea >." "It isn't the same as coming into a house and shooting Someone...you're not really killing a person, you're doing him a favor,” says Misak. “The terminally ill, if they choose to die, should be allowed to die without extenuating circumstances to keep them alive," says Billie Berman, an R.N. for Barry County Health Dept.. She thinks an agent could take pressure off of doctors Io make a decision regarding a patient’s life. "Many M.D.s could be sued because they've taken someone off a respirator,” she says. "I think that would be the patient's right to make that decision, not the doctor’s" says Charles Evans of Hastings. "He thinks that doctors would like to get away from that sort of decision. Evans says he’s had relatives whose lives had depended on various life support ap­ paratus. "and seeing what happened has formed my opinion." Orin Wolcott of Hastings says a person has a right Io decide "whether to stay on a machine or have it turned off.” but he’s not in favorof that decision being left to a family member. "A family member shouldn't make that decision...it puls too much of a burden on that person", says Wolcott. He says that decision should rest with the patient and the physician. �The Hastings Banner.

Johnston President Reagan's current economic policy is on course and just "in the nick of time”. Fifth District Congressman Harold Sawyer, R-Rockford, told the Hastings Rotary Club, Monday. Sawyer, whose district will include 'he northern eight townships in Barry County and the city of Hastings after the first of the year, is seeking election to his fourth term in office. He is opposed by Democratic State Sen. Stephen Monsma. "I think (Reagan's) taking the country exactly on the right course." Sawyer said, "'.80 degrees from where we were going, and I think ;n the nick of time." The former Kent County prosecutor said he was lobbied heavily and personally by the president to vote for his $98 billion tax hike. Sawyer called it “the epitomy of pressure" when he was called into the Oval Office for a private session with Reagan. Vice-President George Bush and the White House congressional liason. Sawyer said the tax bill was not as bad as the national media had made it out to be because much of it dealt with plugging loopholes in the tax laws. "Of course, what's a loophole to one person is a necessity to another.” he joked He said that the new tax bill takes back only $98 billion of the $406 billion tax cut approved last year. He explained that the 1981 tax package was about $100 billion more than what Reagan originally wanted. Sawyer said that Michigan came out well in the new bill because special len-week unemployment compensation extensions were approved for the 200,000 state people who are nearly running out of benefits. The tax bill also included a provision to waive an $83 million interest payment owed by the state to lhe federal government for money borrowed to pay unemployment com­ pensation. Older workers sought by Green Thumb, Inc. Green Thumb. Inc., a private, non-profit corporation is looking for persons 55 and older of low income in rural areas who want to work.

Their experience and consistency make older workers an excellent model for young employees.

Phone 795-9863 Discussing Social Security. the congressman said that the problem with the system is that solutions to funding are typically political solutions that delay facing real solutions for five or ten years. The system' is facing deficits, he said, because there is a much larger build up in demands on the funds than the fund is capable of paying. He said the average person withdraws in 16 months of retirement everything that he paid in. "Real wages, discounting for inflation, have not increased since 1970," Sawyer said. "Social Security has had a real increase of payments of about 37 percent." He called Social Security the most sen­ sitive political area "to linker with" because 12 to 13 percent of the population receives Social Security or is eligible and they vote. “The sad part is that the only two places that the budget is big enough to make a big dent in deficits are lhe military and Social Security." he continued, "and those are two awfully sensitive areas.” He said that increases in military spending are going loo far too fast. Sawyer said he supports the idea of flat rate income taxes, but doesn't believe it is politically possible to convert the tax system over all at once. He said :hat churches, charities and universities all oppose the flat rate lax because it would eliminate deductions for donations. Social Security recipients oppose it because payments would be taxable, he continued. And middle income people oppose it because it would eliminate mortgage in­ terest deductions." He said one proposal that he fraught might by able to gel through congress would con­ vert the income lax toa flat rate, but initially retain those deductions. "Thai’s as close as we could come to a flat rate lax in one step," he said. Jeffery Jenkins, Hastings, 24 and Christine Hart, Hastings 31.

If you shouted in anger at one of your friends And you cannot resolve to start making amends, Just remember the person who waited until The opponent in question became very ill. Now the burden of guilt is his permanent fate; For by putting it off. he was one day too late.

Retired Nashville Pharmacist receives 50-year award by Susan Hinckley Retired Nashville pharmacist Adolf Douse Jr. is one of three who received recognition for 50 years "behind the counter" at the Michigan Pharmacists Association convention last week. Retired Nashville pharmacist Adolph Douse, Jr. received slate honors last week in recognition of his 50-year career as an “outstanding registered pharmacist of Michigan ". Douse was one of three receiving the award Monday at the 99th annual convention of the Michigan Pharmacists Association, held August 15-18 at Boyne Mountain. Presentation of the certificates from the Michigan Board of Pharmacy "in recognition of 50 years service to the public and upselfish devotion to profession" came to Douse and two other registered phar­ macists during a “Say Yes to Michigan" luncheon of the MPA. In May, Douse also was honored by Ferris State College at Big Rapids, when he received the Golden Eagle award marking the golden anniversary of his graduation from that school. A Nashville native. Douse has been associated more than 50 years with the local pharmacy, now owned by David Mace, at 207 N. Main Street. Starting as a high school sophomore in 1924. Douse commenced working at the store, then owned by Herbert Kids, pets and rides perk up Medical Facility Doris Tinkler, activities director, said it was all for fun, Wednesday, when the patients at the Barry County Medical Care Facility were treated to the second annual Pet Day. Youngsters brought out their favorite animals for the patients to see; Cliff and Glenn Converse brought a team and wagon to offer rides; the Middleville Lions Club donated trolley for the afternoon, pulled by Bob Becker's mule team; Herb Roberts entertained on the guitar; and the Hastings Lions Club supplied popcorn for the outdoor party. Shown in the photos are (below, left) Doris Tinkler introduces her seven-year-old grandson.

D. Wolring. He continued to work for six years to earn his pharmacy apprenticeship and to save enough money to pay for his formal education at Ferris. After graduation from Ferris in 1932, and passing the slate pharmacy board exams to earn his license in July of that year. Douse returned to the same Nashville store where his career had begun. It was then owned by Von W. Furniss, with whom Douse became a partner in 1945. Six years later. Douse became sole owner of the business and retained ownership until selling it in 1966 to the late C John Simon. After that. Douse worked several years at Lapo Pharmacy, which later became Bosley’s, in Hastings. During that time period, he spent four days each week in the Hastings store and worked one day per week as a relief pharmacist in the Nashville store, which has since become Mace Pharmacy. Douse retired from full-time pharmacy in 1972 and for the past ten years has worked only in a relief capacity. He and his wife. Rose, winter at Lakeland, Florida. They have two grown sons, Kermit of Lansing, and Steven of Silver Spring, Maryland. Douse notes that when he was a young college graduate looking ahead in 1932 to a career as a registered pharmacist, he had commented to a fellow classmate that fifty years seemed very distant. Now that he has reached that milestone, in retrospect fifty years seems like "a very short time,” concludes Douse. Adding to the Nashville connection at the recent MPA convention at Boyne Mountain was the appearance of Patrick McKercher. Ph.D., a faculty member at Wayne State University and former Nashville boy whose father, the late Leonard McKercher, once owned a pharmacy in Nashville. After selling that store about 30 years ago, the family moved to the Flint area. In time, young Patrick pursued a career in pharmacy and went on to become a professor in his field. McKercher served as toastmaster at a banquet of the MPA at Boyne Mountain last week and also spoke at a seminar attended by Douse. Today, with the value of the dollar falling constantly, many people are looking for safe places to put their money. Money in saving*', accounts, despite interest, loses buying power each year. The slock market rises and falls like the thermometer in a Michigan summer. The wise have known for years to invert their monies in gold, coins, stamps, jewels, fine arts and antiques. Many people are turning to collectibles as a hedge against inflation. These buyers believe there is no safer place to invest, and I whole heartedly agree. However, there are a few things you should know before you do likewise, especially in the field of dolls. Antique doll prices are rising steadily, but are still a very good choice for investment. I suggest buying the best and most expensive dell you can afford. I find that the best quality doll appreciates faster, as does any antique or collectible. In these economic times, people with money to invest only buy the best, rarest, and most beautiful of items, as they, too. know the faster appreciation on the most desirable items. Every antique doll collection should start with a doll purchased from a reliable dealer. An excellent practice is to study doll reference books, keeping in mind your own doll. As you learn about doll marks and other identifications, such as type of eyes, body material, etc., you will compare them to your doll. Price guides are useful to identify dolls as well as give their value. Buy only from a reputable dealer who always stands behind his merchandise. Such a dealer will do much to satisfy your curiosity and further your knowledge. Most dealers are happy to accept a doll in trade for another one. This is important, as one of the best ways of acquiring better dolls is to "irade up". In other words, sell your doll to the dealer, add an additional sum, and buy a higher priced, belter doll. This is a good way to upgrade a collection without too great an outlay of money at one time. The cost of old dolls varies a great deal, a bewildering fact to the new collector. Fact is, prices change so rapidly it is difficult for books to keep abreast of current data. Each doll has its own personality, as do people. As we are not attracted to all people, so are we not attracted to all dolls. Buy only what you love. If the lime comes when you must sell your doll, someone else will surely be attracted to her also. If buying old dolls for investment, remember, you may not be able to sell your dolls immediately for the price you paid. A doll collection does not have the liquidity of a savings account. Should you be pressed for money, you may have to sell them for just whal you have into them or less. Therein is the importance of buying the dolls you love and enjoy, as you may have them around for years. When buying dolls for investment, one usually must hold them a year or more for large apreciation. They do appreciate rapidly because of the scarcity of the old beautiful dolls. Before you buy any doll, you should examine it carefully, undressed if possible. Notice cracks, chips or breaks, especially in the neck area (which might be concealed by lhedressi. Look for hallmarks, if any Check the kind and condition of the body. Oft times, old heads are on new bodies. Observe the artistic merit of the face, hands, quality of china, etc. Is the costume in the correct style; is the wig original? Does she have fingers missing, is the composition crazed? All of these things add to or detract from the value Beware of fakes. Antique dolls are being reproduced. If you buy a reproduction doll, it should be marked as to year and maker Beware, also, of repaired antique dolls selling for loo high prices. Always be selective when buying old dolls Get the best possible for the amount of money invested. Don't let a beautiful face and a velvety period costume sway you into paying a high price for a doll whose onlyoriginal feature is the head. There again — if il’s priced accordingly, and you are made aware of new replacement parts, it’s your decision — but know if re-selling it, you'll be lucky to make any profit. The nearest original condition of an antique doll, as any antique, makes more rapid appreciation. If you are seriously considering antique dolls as an investment. I would say do so! In addition to investing your money wisely, you will have a great deal of enjoyment. You will add beauty to your life, and gain ar. education in antiques and history.

Did you know: Arab mariners mastered a trade route Io China seven centuries before Columbus. Dependability of the monsoon winds, the navigators' sure knowledge of the stars, and the zeal to succeed made possible the voyages a quarter of the way round the world. National Geographic says.

BARRY COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS First Day • Forenoon August 10,1982 Medic alert good advice for travelers Summer is' a time for travel for mans Americans and also a ime that can pose some risk for those who have special medical conditions. "This unnecessary stress can be relieved by wearing a Medic Alert emblem.” according to Dr. Malcolm Todd. Todd is a surgeon and member of the Board of Directors of Medic Alert, a nonprofit and charitable organization. "If you're hurt, unconscious and unable to tell rescue personnel about your special condition, the widely recognized bracelet will, in effect, speak for you.” says Todd. "It did just that for approximately 2,000 Medic Alert members last year,” he added. Millions of Americans, estimated to be one in five, have special medical conditions ranging from diabetes, hypertension, heart problems, to serious allergies, which could be fatal if mistakes are made in emergency medical situations. "Most people simply take their chances,” says Todd, despite the fact that wearing a Medic Alert emblem helps deliver quick and accurate information about the patient. A $15 purchase for a lifetime membership in Medic Alert could significantly improve the odds of an unconscious person receiving fast, accurate and effective treatment. A Medic Alert bracelet emblem contains an identification number, the member’s special medical condition, plus a twenty-four hours phone number to Medic Alert s emergency medical information center. When called, the center’s trained operators provide vital emergency medical data plus other information, such as the name and phone number of their familiy physician.

A press release announcing the program said alternative education has proven to be successful in helping students cope with school and eventually earn a diploma. The release listed five reasons why the program at TK will be “unique", including classes held in the afternoon Monday through Friday, classes at the Middleville Village Hal], a student taking program designed for them and still meeting requirements to graduate, a student enrolling al the Kent Skill Center and finally a student being employed full or part time and receiving co-op credit in addition to the alternative education classes. Principal Hank Dugan said the program is not being funded as a result of the resent millage that passed, but is being funded through state funds designed to help students that have dropped out. To qualify students must be a drop out, be a pre-drop out, be pregnant, be a teenage parent or have poor regular classroom at­ tendance. Enrollment will start on Aug. 30 and run through Sept. 3.

Jobless workers eligible for extra benefits Up to 48.000 jobless Michiga.1 workers could be eligible fcr up to ten weeks of ad­ ditional unemployment benefits starting in September and another 60,000 now receiving extended benefits (EB> could be eligible as they exhaust their EB before year's end, S. Martin Taylor, director of the Michigan Employment Security Commission (MESC), announced today. The new benefits program, called Federal Supplemental Compensation (FSC), will be in effect from September 12, 1983. through March 31, 1983. and was included in the federal tax bill passed by Congress on Thursday. Taylor estimated that the FSC program could mean as much as $162 million in added benefits to the state's unemployed through the end of 1982 alone. To qualify for these new benefits, jobless workers will have to meet certain requirements; —They must have exhausted all of their regular state benefits and extended benefits after June 1, 1982. — They must have had 20 or more qualifying weeks prior to applying for the regular state benefits they exhausted. —They must continue to meet all state and extended benefits requirements (they must be unemployed and be able, available and actively seeking work and provide a written record of their job search). The MESC will begin taking claims for the FSC program on September 13. At that time, Taylor said, claimants should report to their MESC office where they last reported. Since MESC has individuals report every two weeks, the earliest most could receive their first FSC check will be during the week of September 26. Weekly FSC benefit checks will be for the same weekly amount as the individual received in extended benefits and for up to a maximum of ten weeks. Taylor said; claimants, who have exhausted all their benefits aflert June 1, should follow a special reporting schedule when Tiling their FSC claims. The schedule is based on their Social Security numbers and will help MESC provide better senice and avoid overcrowding in the offices.

Hungry aviators converge on Hastings airport Sunday... Voters in Barry County will be asked to approve an additional half-mill tax increase for townships' road improvements at the November General Election. If approved, the proposal will increase allocated millage in the county from the current 15 mills to 15.5 mills and freeze it at that level through 1987. Voter approval of the extra millage would set allocated millage at 5.87 for county government; 1.5 mills for townships; eight mills f Dr school districts, and .13 mill for the intermediate school district. Currently townships receive only one allocated mill. The other units' millage would remain un­ changed if the proposal passes. The county board of commissioners, voting 8-2, Tuesday took the necessary action to place the millage request on the ballot. Commissioners were mandated by state law to place the proposal on the ballot after the county lax allocation board decided in May to seek the tax increase. According to stale statute, section 211.205c of the tax allocation act. “Petitions by the tax allocation board for separate tax limitations shall be adopted." However, Commissioners Jack Love and Otis Hermeniti voted against the tax allocation board petition. Commissioner Richard Sunior was absent. Commissioner Edward Daniels questioned the "no" votes. County Treasurer Elsie Furrow told the board that commissioners didn't have a choice on whether to place the lax increase on the ballot because of the state statute. She told the board that the tax request petition must be approved for placement on the ballot. “You can vote your own feelings in November," Mrs. 1- arrow said. In another millage matter. Johnstown Township Supervisor Verlyn Stevens and Hastings Township Supervisor Richard Thomas, who also served on the tax allocation board, attended the com­ missioners' board meeting and expressed surprise that they were not scheduled on the agenda as requested. Hungry aviators from all over the state will converge on the Hastings-Barry County Airport Sunday between 6-11 a.m. for the 31st annual Dawn Patrol break­ fast. The public is invited to join. Event organizers say the event gives the public a chance to meet and be near aviation-minded people, and "to see and hear Delton plans to recall three teachers; restore some previously cut programs SERVICE DIRECTORY FRAMING GIFTS & APPAREL FAIR PRICES HONEST SERVICE CARS TRUCK REPAIR 4.4 S FOREIGN CARS J and M SERVICE ben____ —rranKiin Bus. 948-8919 JIM LUMBERT - Owner ... 945-5983 SPECIALIZING IN COMMERCIAL VEHICLES HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING eflections k CUSTOM 4 Miles North on M-43 4166 North Broadway Hastings.

He also indicated that the slate has not been cooperative in supplyng figures tor rising costs in rates. "The relationship with Lansing and the locals is not real good in the Department of Social Services." The budget provides for four types of child care: family foster, institutional, home in­ tensive care, and home detention care. Voting against approval of the budget were Commissioners Paul Richard Dean and Walter Soya. In other business, the board learned that the parks and recreation committee met with the park commission Aug 23 lo discuss a possible role change when a new director is hired for Chairton Park The change would encompass not only responsibility of the park but recreation and tourism on a county wide basis. Those applying for the position must present credentials by Sept. 15. There will be a final public hearing on the solid waste proposal at 1:30 p.m. ThursdaySept. 2 at the health department in Hastings. Commissioners approved time-off and expenses not lo exceed $150 for Richard Engel, animal control officer, lo attend a stale wide seminar Sept. 14-17 at Houghton Lake. The county board sent a letter lo all townships notifying them they must contact the animal control officer in regard to all dog damage incidents before disposing of the animial involved. Commissioner James Gordon reported that the Sheriff's Department auction raised about $6,000. I’he board received a request from from the county road commission to increase its budget for this year with a $20,000 amrnendment Gordon said the finance com­ mittee will consider the request. Consultant John Martinoff of the Mid­ Counties Consortium will evaluate job descriptions of management positions in the county. Commissioners requested agencies like lh«* Commission on Aging and the parks commission lo participate. Voters approve millage first hand how this type of recreation (flying) is enjoyed by the many who fly in from all over the state." The Hastings Flying Association holds this event to promote the use and growth of the local airport. The breakfast is the association's sole money-making event. Monies raised go towards airport improvements. CAR & TRUCK REPAIR Representing the township supervisors association, they wanted to discuss a request to have voters decided whether the counts should give up a half-mill of its allocated tax so townships can use those funds for roads instead of increasing total count; millage The supervisors plan would lower county allocated millage from 5.87 to 5.37 mills and increase the township's share from one mill lo 1.5 mill. The other units' millage would remain ’he same and keep tola: allocated millage al the same level. County Board Chairman Kenneth Radant has said the county can not afford to forfeit a half mill without a severe curtailment of some services. To date, the county clerk's office has received petitions with nearly 600 signatures in support of the supervisors' plan County Clerk NorvalThalerhas said that about 1.057 signatures would required to place that proposal on the ballot because state law requires signatures of four percent of the registered electors in each township and city to force a vote. August 31 is the deadline for filing petitions for the November ballot According to stale statute pertaining to initiatory petitions for separate tax limitations, section 211.205a. commissioners could not give approval for a ballot proposal until petition signatures have been validated by the county clerk. With another 8-2 vote, commissioners approved a budget for county child care, submitted by Robert F. Nida, court ad­ ministrator for probate court and the juvenile division. Nida noted that the budget figures included anticipated expenditures. The total $240,914 of revenue in the budget includes the county's contribution of $112,763 andthestate's share of $118,151. This reflects a nine percent increase over last year s budget including a basic grant to the youth service bureau for $10,000 and $388 from the state in adoption subsidies. Nida informed commissioners that the state has put on a cap of $88,282 to Barry County. This means that the county is ex­ pected to pick up the rest of the tab However, Nida said. “Last year I got ALARM SPECIALTY, INC. The reinstatement of approximately $170,000 in previously cut programs including the recall of three teachers and three office clerks have been approved by the Delton Kellogg Board of Education. The action was taken Wednesday by the board in the wake of Tuesday’s successful millage election. A two mill lax increase for two years was approved by a vote of 1008-855. Voters had rejected a 1.5 mill tax hike in June. Superintendent Willard Baker said today (Thur­ sday) that the millage will generate about an additional $214,000 for this school year’s budget. As a result, the board has approved pur­ chasing $40,000 of textbooks and teaching supplies, partial funding of cocurricular activities and extension of at least a por­ tion of the program for gifted students as well as rein­ stating some staff including a full-time media center director, a full-time elementary counselor, and assistant middle school principal. A total of eleven teachers and 10 non­ certified personnel (clerks, custodians, bus drivers) were laid-off earlier this year Baker said up to two more teachers might be recalled later if student enrollment should be more than projected, if class sizes merit The names of the three teachers who will definitely be called back lo work have not been determined yet. Baker said, because he and administrators were still meeting Thursday morning to work out the details Baker ^aid the school district hopes to receive another state grant to fund the program for talented and gifted students like it did last year. Because slate cuts to education continue »o take a bigger bite out of the local operating budget. Baker said funding of co-curricular activities will have to be a joint effort of the school and private sources. He said about S25.000 wilt be needed from private fund raising which would cover about one-third of the cost of co-curricular programs. The school will fund about one-third of the cost and gate receipts will provide the other third. Baker speculated that Tuesday's millage proposal was approved because "the people do not want to see education go downhill" as the state continues to reduce funding to the schools. Local woman sentenced in courthouse embezzlement A former Barry Disrict Court employee, Delberla Ann Amsman, 27. C-508 Gaskill Rd., was sentenced in Barry County Circuit Court Tuesday to six months in jail and or­ dered to pay $21,601.55 in restitution for attempted embezzlement by a public official over $50. The charge resulted after an audit of bookkeeping records last June revealed a massive cash shortage in Barry County District Court. In addition to the jail sentence, Arnsman was sentenced to six months probation, and ordered to pay a $100 fine, and $400 in court costs. Four-thousand dollars of the $21,601.55 Amsman was ordered to pay back is due in 90 days, with the balance to be paid off at $350 a month starting one month after Amman's release from jail. In addition, the Barry County Board of Com­ missioners voted Tuesday night to terminate Arnsman's bond. The charge of attempted embezzlement over $50 is a felony punishable by five years in prison, a fine of $2,500, or both. The Barry County Board of Commissioners Tuesday night voted lo terminate Arnsman's court magistrate bond. ----- 0------ Call the protection experts...

Outdoor Report; Final regulations setting the 1982-83 hunting frameworks for certain migratory birds have been announced by the Interior Department's U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The final rules, published in the August 9, 1982 Federal P.egister, set the outer limits for dates and times when hunting may begin and end. They also designate hunting areas and set bag and possession limits during the early hunting seasons that open before October 1. State wildlife officials select season dates and daily bag and possession limits from within these frameworks. The early season regulations cover mourning doves, white-winged doves, band­ tailed pigeons, rails, woodcock, common snipe, gallinules, sandhill cranes, ducks, and Canada geese in various parts of the country which may be hunted in September. Teal, for instance, may be hunted in portions of the Mississippi and Central Flyways; sea ducks on designated areas of the Atlantic Flyway; all ducks in Florida, Iowa, Kentucky, and Tennessee; sandhill cranes in the Central Flyway and Arizona, and sandhill cranes and Canada geese in southwestern Wyoming. Also included arc falconry seasons in certain states which have met Federal standards. Changes finalized for this group of birds include a basic nationwide mourning dove season framework of 70 days with 12 birds daily and 24 in possession, with an option for a 45-day seasons with limits of 15 and 30, respectively. In south Texas, a four-day white-winged dove season is offered. In Florida, four while-winged doves may be taken during the mourning dov*» season as part of the regular bag limit. A breeding white-winged dove population has developed in Florida from birds which escaped from a propagator several years ago. The annual singing-ground survey of breeding woodcock indicated a 20 percent decline from 1981 in the Eastern Region. Blame has been placed on a severe April blizzard and lingering snow cover which is believed to have killed many breeding birds. Thus, a delay until Oct. 5 is provided fcr opening the woodcock season in Atlantic Flyway Stales. Numerous changes have been made in the sandhill crane framework for portions of the Central Flyway in terms of hunting areas, season frameworks, and season lengths. These extensions are based on increased crane numbers, and improved information about crane biology, migration, and habitat use. The season implement some of the strategies of the Mid-Continent Sandhill Crane Management Plan. Two experimental seasons are provided for sandhill in southwestern New Mexico, ana sandhill cranes and Canada geese in portions of Lincoln County. Wyoming. The latter is to reduce local populations and alleviate crop depredations. Additional infon’ration on the Federal early hunting season framework is available from the Service s Office of Migratory Bird Management in Washington D.C. (202 2543207' and the agency's regional offices. Because States may choose to make their own regulations more strict than the limits prescribed in the Federal framework, hunters are advised to check their State regulations carefully.

August 26. 1982 — Page 12 Some anxiety normal for children leaving the nest A little little anxiety „ __ I a _ little homesickness . ... A and are perfectly normal reactions for teen­ agers who will be living away from home for the first time, says a Michigan Stale University authority in family and child relationships. "Good parents have actually been preparing their children for that separation throughout the developmental process," explains Lawrence B. Schiamberg, associate professor in MSU's Department of Family and Child Ecology. "The success of the departure depends on the emotional health of the entire family," he points out. Schaimberg, the author of "Human Development” published this year, says .. Community Ed. sets V-ball tournament ... there are actually two types of separation from the family-physical and emotional. "A child may be physically independent by living away from home but still cling to the childhood values fostered there. Or a child may live at home but still be psychologically, emotionally independent,” he says. Schaimberg says emotional separation from the family is essential if a child is to acquire an adult identity. He says, “During adolescence, there are peer group relationships as well as in­ tellectual changes which help a child develop some independence from the family. At that time, a child is primarily concerned about his or her place in the peer group whereas ir. the post high school years the child begin to think about his or her stance toward the world and preparing for the future." Parents can sometimes be caught off guard when it comes to pack their child off to college or that first job away from home because. ‘ There are no social guidelines for this rite of passage." Schiamberg says. "Some parents may feel they are clinging to their children A-hile others may feel they're pushing the child out of the nest too soon.” he says. Some adolescents and young adults are actually opting to remain in the nest into their early 20s and beyond, which is a recent phenomenon prompted, in part, by the nation's current financial pinch. Schaimberg says. "Young people are also waiting to marry later, which may delay their break from home and family," he adds. In families which have not prepared a child for leaving home, that child may exhibit all sorts of problems, he says. < hildren who fail to make an independent successful break from home may skip classes or drop out of college entirely, stage a bizzare delinquent act, join a cult or take a rntnial job. These all indicate a lack of a healthy maturing process,” Schiamberg explains. However, he emphasizes that, for most children, leaving home for the first time is accomplished with a minimum of trauma. ‘ W ith some normal, common-sense planning and organization, this need not be a tumultuous time.” he says.

The proposal for the draw down of the lake water passed by a vote of 61-53 at an association meeting Monday. The vote tally included a number of absentee ballots. Warren Craft, president of the lake association, said the lake level will be lowered eight and one half feet on November 28 by opening the dam and letting the water flow into the Thornappie River. The lake level will be raised again on March 19. Craft said the lake has been lowered several times in the past with “good benefits of getting debris out of the lake". The last draw down was in 1981. "Some people consider the draw down helpful to weed control,” he said. The association also is in the midst of a threeyear program using chemicals to try and t Petitions carrying approximately 1,600 signatures have been filed in the Barry County County Clerk's office to ask voters to take away one-half mill of the county's allocated millage and give it to the townships for road improvements. The number of signatures on the petitions exceeds the approximately 1,067 needed to force a referendum vote, said county clerk Norval Thaler. However, whether the proposal will appear on the November ballot depends on if there are at least 1,067 valid signatures prorated to include four percent of the registered voters in each township and city. Validation of the signatures must be completed within 14 days, he said Wed­ nesday. The deadline for filing petitions to place a proposal on the November ballot was August 31. Petitions received from Castleton Township contain only three signatures ovet the minimum required by state law. Thaler said. If more than three signatures in Castleton are found to be invalid, the ballot proposal would be scrapped. Validation of signatures on the petitions may be challenged by a private individual in person at the clerk’s office or in writing. Signatures also may be questioned Ly the county clerk who can take up to seven days to look over the petitions. In the final analysis, ‘■’.ownship clerks have to swear that they (the signatures) are .alid," Thaler said. The township clerks are allowed seven days Jo complete the validation. Continued on page 2 The petition drive was spearheaded by the county townships supervisors' association. If the proposal is placed on the ballot and ap­ proved by voters, the county's allocated millage would.be reduced from 5.87 mills to 5.37. It would increase the township's share from one mill to 1.5 mills. The total allocated millage would remain the same at 15 mills, with schools receiving the same eight mills as before and the intermediate school district getting .13 mills as in the past. County Board Chairman Kenneth Radant has said the county can afford to lose the approximately $190,060 that a half-mill generates. The November ballot will already include a proposal toask voters to increase allocated millage from 15 to 15.5 mills, with the extra half-mill to be designated to the townships for road improvements. The other unit's allocated millage would remain the same and the total amount would be frozen at 15.5 mills through 1987 Fhe request for the additional millage was initiated by the county tax allocation board. Tentative accord reached at Maple Valley schools by Susan Hinckley Maple Valley teachers, who started classes Tuesday without a new contract, may have reached an agreement with the board of education. Details of the tentative contract between the Maple Valley Education Assocation (MVEA) and the board will be reviewed at a 3 p.m. Friday meeting. “We have to tie some things together before we can officially call it a tentative agreement,” said Steven MacDonald, im­ mediate past president of the MVEA and a member of the teachers negotiating team. MacDonald said that if the contract is approved Friday, the proposed two year pact must be forwarded to the Eaton County Education Association for ratification by that group's professional negotiating committee before it can be presented to the local MVEA membership. Local members will not see the contract before the end of next week, barring a “miracle”, MacDonald said. Attending Friday's meeting will be Jean Cusick, of Michigan Education Association negotiator. MacDonald and MVEA bargainers John Hughes. Judy Rohr and Linda Andres. Superintendent Carroll Wolfe and school board members Ronald Tobias and Dale Ossenheimer. Wolff had no comment on the negotiations. In the meantime. Maple Valley's 75 teachers are working under articles in their previous contract, including an agreement reached last spring which has increased daily student contact time about 20 minutes for junior-senior high school faculty mem­ bers. There has been no change in the work schedule at elementary levels, said Mac­ Donald. Teachers at Maple Valley JuniorSenior High School now give six hours of instruction time per day in addition to conducting a one hour conference period. A new concept implemented this school year to allow more flexibility grants the teacher the option of selecting his or her conference lime, either before school from 7 a m. to8a.m. or after school from 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Algonquin Lake residents are interested in improving the water quality of their lake, like Pat Sharpe, Algonquin Lake Association board member. A chemical weed control program, begun this summer, has been effective overall in helping to reduce weed growth. However, this small corner of the lake, viewed from Hommond Rd., doesn't appear to have benefited-from (Reprogram. The lake level will be lowered this tall as an extra measure to try to further combat the weed problem. (Bonnerphoto) Vol. 127, No. 34 Hastings, Michigan Thursday, September 2,1982 School board hears Newest state aid cuts throw budget for loop By Ken Reibel The Hastings School Board learned that iis 1982-83 budget is off by $255,000 even before school opens, due to cuts in state aid. Richard Guenther, Hastings school superintendent, told the board that total executive order cuts for Hastings schools for the state's fiscal year (Nov. 1 to OcL 3) “totals out at approximately $185,000.” Coupled with this, said Guenther, is a communication he has received stating that the original state aid act that was approved earlier this year which called for a 5.89 percent increase per pupil should now be computed at 3 percent. "Projecting this against our anticipated enrollment, this is an additional loss to our budget of $70 000," said Guenther. fearful from what I hear that you might have to wait until November," said Guenther. IN OTHER BOARD action: The board turned down a recommendation by the Hastings Athletic Boosters endorsing a “Pay for Play" athletic program. (See related story on sports page). And the board approved a motion by Larry Haywood for the formation of a citizen group to raise money for federal matching funds for computers to be used in vocational ed. The board also turned down a recom­ mendation by Ernie Strong, director of driver ed, to hold drivers ed classes this fall and next spring. In his report. Strong told the board that through competancy based testing this summer, the school cut the per pupil cost of driver training from $108 to $12.14 per cer­ tified student. “I believe the program as it was operated this summer was the best we could do under the financial conditions,” Strong told the board, adding “I do not believe it is the best educationally. Many types of driving ex­ periences had to be deleted and certainly some classroom knowledge was not presented or obtained.” He said the program as is places much responsibilty on parents, and he stressed two points: The certificate is valid until the student's 18th birthday and should be used until the student proves to the parents his ability to drive safely, and once the student is licensed, the parent may rescind the license by retracting their signature if the student abuses his privilege to drive. As the board considered Strong's recommendation for fall and spring driving classes. Superintendent Guenther com­ mented "I think you’d better wait on everything until you see your budget,” The board voted to renew state aid loans totaling $325,000 due to delays in receiving an Aug. 1 state aid payment. The delay, said Guenther, will cost the schools an extra $16,OOC in interest.

Dave is currently in Pennock Hospital's Intensive Care Unit on a respirator. The dance is being organized by friends of Dave and Sue. Many are employees of Flex Fab, where Sue is employed. Janet Aspinall, one of the event’s organizers, says response to the benefit dance has been "great”, and that several area merchants and manufacturing com­ panies have donated goods for raffles and door prizes. One company that has helped out tremendously, says Aspinall, is the Bradford-White company of Middleville, Dave Teske’s former employer. More help is still sought. Aspinall asks anyone who wants to help to call her at 9454841, or Jeannette Ogden at 945-9^84. Hastings School Board presents “volatile” ideas for consideration “Fortunately, we borrowed well over $1 million earlier this month at 10.75 percent,” said Guenther. “That was roughly $74,000 in interest - we had budgeted $105,000. So it looks at if our $105,000 figure is about right with this new information.” This latest round of bad news has thrown back (he date at which the board can amend its new budget, according to Guenther “I would hope that we could come back and amend your budget in October, but I am The Hastings Board cf Education Monday night presented a list of recommendations in its annual report which board president William Baxter termed “volatile". The seven recommendations, prepared by the old board, concentrate on areas which the it believes "require board-staff-citizen study for possible implementation in future years." “The board recognizes the volatile nature of the recommendations," commented Baxter.

However, he said that extra money was budgeted for interest payments when the school board recently borrowed over $1 million.. E.W. Bliss Co and members oi UAW Local 414 have agreed to extend their current contract to Sept. 24. an agreement that would have expired on Aug. 31.

Union president James Morway and Herman Bottcher. acting industrial relations manager, confirmed that the company had requested the negotiations. Neither side would comment on the Dance to benefit local cancer victim planned Among the seven recommendations are ones to look into combining school and city library services, consolidating school transportation services, and consolidating area school districts. Six of the seven recommendations called for special committees, comprised of citizens and school boards, to review the desirability of the action. Hold that pose... One of the artists, Dave Carrigan of Nashville, captures Norm Brown of Lansing on paper during Summer-Fest. For more Summer-Fest stories and photos turn inside this issue. In its summary statement, the board stated "Distressed economic times cause many hardships. Some are nonreparable. These difficulties seriously affect programs and services for the youngsters of the district, however, a few good things may also surface. If nothing else it forces a board of education to take a thorough “look" at its complete operation and adjust according to its limited resources.” The seven recomrr.°ndations are: — A special committee be appointed by the board and city council to review the desirability of a combined city-district library. — A special committee be appointed by the county commissioners and the boards of education from Delton, Hastings and Barry Intermediate to review the desirability of consolidating transportation services with the goal of reducing duplication and thus costs. — A special committee be appointed by the city council and the board of education to review the desirability of consolidating Youth Council, Y.M.C.A., athletics and in­ tramural services under one unit with one director. — A special committee be appointed by the boards of education from Lakewood, Maple Valley. Delton Kellogg, Middleville and Hastings for the purpose of reviewing the desirability of consolidating adult education services including the establishment of a center for the Barry County area.

The chemical weed control program began this summer and cost lake dwellers $9000. “We'll be doing it again next summer and asking $100 from each Algonquin area household”, Craft said. The majority of the association mem­ bership felt that the chemical program this summer was effective in reducing weeds, he said.

PufPaff was hired part-time for tlie United Way program in August, after the program had gone over two years without a case worker. "There's a lot of catching up to do." she says. The program deals with children between the ages of 7 and 15 from mostly single parent families who have need of an adult male or female friend - the "Big Brother” or "Big Sister”. Pufpaff says she is currently looking for adult volunteers to act as Big Brothers and Sisters, "or any organization or business interested in helping in any way they can.” Pupaff's hours are from 1-5 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday. Her office is located in the Department of Social Services office on W. Woodawn. Her phone number is 948-3207. Pupaff is a 1974 graduate of Alma College with a degree in social work.

When Lesick grabbed the minor by the arm. the minor allegedly turned and swung at the officer, striking him in the face. According to the report, the minor tried to escape, but was grabbed by Nevins, took a swing at that officer, tried once more to escape before finally being subdued. The minor was then taken to Barry County jail, but later transported to the detention center in Calhoun County. He is charged with resisting and obstructing an officer per­ forming his duties. The two other subjects were not arrested. If you have children starting school this year, make sure he or she knows the way. Walk your child to the school and back the same way so that he or she knows the streets. This will help you, loo, if and when you have to locate the chid in a hurry, or if the child is late home and you go out to find him. During your walk to the school, show the child how to stop and check for traffic before stepping into the street. The old saying, "Stop, lode, and listen," is good advice. A good rule for grade school children is to' come straight home alter school, and if they don't, to make sure the parents know where they are. Every year we get numerous reports of 'missing children'. Usually the cause of this is because the child stopped at a friends house or stopped to play on the way home.. All school aged children and teenagers should by warned to stay away from strangers. This includes the stranger in a vehicle. If a stranger asks directions, don’t go anywhere near the person or vehicle. Hastings is a nice town with a lot of nice people, but we have perverts here, loo. In­ struct your children to try to get the vehicle's license number, if possible (safely), when a questionable occurance might happen. As soon as a child is capable, he or she should know his or her name, address, and telephone number. You’d be surprised at the number of kids that don't even know their last name Students that ride their bikes to school should be very careful. The traffic is heaviest when they go to and from school. The bicyclist should look out for the pedestrians too. Make sure you have a good sturdy lock and chain, and lock the bike to something when the bike is left unattended. Persons driving during the student traveling time should be very careful. Between the hours of 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. to3 p.m., there are literally hundreds of kids, little and big, walking, running, riding, and driving on our streets and sidewalks. Most high school students are good, decent, young adults. When driving, most of them are good, conscientious drivers. There are the few that haven't grown up yet and show off, drive carelessly, sometimes with excessive speeds, causing danger to themselves and everybody else. Watch out for these persons. The police officers of the Hastings Police Department will not tolerate this type of driving and will cite the guilty parties. Tickets cost money, but in addition to this, points are added to the licensee, and their insurance costs go up. If everyone would instruct and guide their own children properly, problems should be minimal. Remember, if you're a parent, you are responsible for your child. If your have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to call me at 945-2463 or write: Chief of Police. 102 S Broadway Hastings. MI 49058.

Judy Jenkins Leo Kyser Bill Romick Floyd Miller Ann Sweetland Dave DeMond Mildred Enis'ey Earl Endsley The Hastings Banner Bill Romick. who lives on Barber Road, says yes on both counts. “I think they need to be fixed." says Romick, "I've been on some roads that are in pretty bad shape. And they're not kept clean too well in the winter. I work in Grand Rapids, and as soon as I cross the county line the roads are clean.” Earl Endsley of Hastings thinks the roads could be kept up better without having to pay more "We're paying too much now,” says Endlsey. "You go out and see (the road crews) sitting by the side of the road, doing nothing instead of working. They got to earn their money.” Dave DeMond of Woodland looks on the bright side. “In general, the roads I travel on are pretty good, but I know there are bad roads. But I guess not, I would not be in­ terested in paying extra millage. "I don't travel the country roads that much," says Mildred Endsley of Hastings. "I travelled for years, why travel now? I'm happy to stay at home.” “In answer to your question, I would say that the county roads do need more at­ tention.” says Floyd Miller of Hastings, adding rather diplomatically "If the proposition carries. I'll be obligated to pay “I can t see making extra taxes until the economy improves," says Judy Jenkins of Hastings. She's prepared to tough things out. "I can see that there are some roads that need work done but that's just one thing we ll have to do without." Ann Sweetland, Hastings, says "Yes. I think that roads need constant improvement, and if my house is worth $60,000, and 1 have to pay $15 a year to improve those roads then that’s worth it," she says, both for safety and convenience of travel. L*o Kyser, Hastings, is suspicious of taxation. "I don't know if the money will all go for road repair...Some of the county roads are in better shape than the state roads. I'm not sure the money will go in the right place or not." �The Hastings Banner.

Thursday. September 2. 1982 - Page 4 Mid-County youth programs have best year by Ken Keibel The Mid Counties Employment and Training Consortium has employed more disadvantaged youths in Barn1 and Calhoun counties this year than any other year, ac­ cording to John M. Martinoff, executive director. And says, Martinoff, it was done with less money than ever before. Add to that a dropout rate of three percent instead of an average 19 percent, and the consortiums 1982-83 year stacks up as its best ever, says Martinoff. He attributes the low dropout rate to today’s lack of employment opportunities for young people. “More of them are sticking with the program, because there's not much for them outside without it,” says Martinoff. He says only seven participants were discharged from the program for behavior reasons. ••Ordinarily, about 20 or so will be discharged for getting in trouble, but this year we’ve had far less problems " According to Martinoff, federal funds obtained by Mid Counties have provided jobs and training for 1.100 youths since last fall, Red Cross reports severe shortage of blood The Red Cross Blood Program has entered a critical period of the year with a severe shortage of blood. Due to the economic climate, many companies holding blood drives immediately before and after the Labor Day holiday are closed and cannot provide the needed blood for that period. This is a lime when hospital blood needs are increased substantially. A special blood drive will be held at Pennock Hospital September 10 from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. in an effort to collect 10 pints. Donors who gave at the Aug. 22 Drive at Leason Sharp Hall cannot give. about 20 percent of which are from BarryCounty. Through titles H-B, VIII, IV. and the Governor’s Youth Grant of the Com­ prehensive Employment and 't raining Act, 1,115 youths have been given actual work experience and classroom training. Of that number, 43 percent are minorities. Title II-B served 300 youths, of which 103 are minorities. Forty participants were handicapped youths enrolled in a -special program through the Calhoun Intermediate School District which, using Junior Achievement techniques allowed the par­ ticipants to explore and evaluate business organizations and participate in the development of work models. Out of Title IV funds, Mid-Counties operated two programs: the Youth Em­ ployment and Training Program, and the Summer Youth Employment Program. Tne Youth Employment and Training Program served 140 youths, of which half were minorities. This program provided training in job seeking and retention skills, vocational training and actual experience in the real working world. The Summer Youth Employment Program provided 614 youths, of which half were minorities, with classroom training and work experience. Classroom training stressed ‘career exploration’ and "labor market orientation". "Career exploration'' was developed for youths 14 to 15 years old, who. through various sub agencies, explored various occupations and identified career interests and goals. rhe "labor market orientation" classes were run in conjunction with the program’s work experience portion for youths aged 16 to 21. The development of job seeking and in­ terviewing skills were stressed. They were trained in written and verbal com­ munication. and the development of career decision-making skills. The work experience portion of the program gave participants actual job ex­ perience and taught such good work habits as attendance, punctuality, and the meeting of employer’s expectations. Ann Schafer, chairperson of the Mid Counties Employment and Training Con­ sortium Board, says that 43 percent of the youth that are employed were from the traditionally high unemployment groups, such as minorities and the handicapped.

If you shouted in anger at one of your friends And you cannot resolve to start making amends, Just remember the person who waited until The opponent in question became very ill. Now the burden of guilt is his permanent fate: For by putting it off, he was one day too late. So according to faith, let’s admit we are prone To neglect any duty that we can postpone; And religiously vow without further delay Not to wait for tomorrow, but do it today! — Gloria Nowak HASTINGS — Mrs. Sadie Elizabeth Hurless, 101 died Thursday, August 26 al the Barry County Medical Care Facility.

Call Us Today at...948-8051 �The Hastings Bonner Thursday, September 2. 1982 “Vision Quest” Page 5 Youthful wagon train bivouacs at Barry County Fairgrounds, Monday by Km Kribel The covered wagons clattered up North Broadway at noon, led by young men in dusty bandanas and cowboys hats, warning curious motorists with bright orange flags. At the fairgrounds, they pulled their procession into a circle around four stout teepees, and went right to work setting up camp. There were animals to wash down, harnesses to clean, a fire pit to be dug And then lunch. Wagon master Dave Simpson stood in the center and gave orders. "First you take care of the animals, then yourself." he shouted. Learning responsibly is what this wagon train is all about. The "pioneers" are youths, 31 in all. placed by the courts in a unique treatment and educational program called 'Vision Quest , and they slopped her Monday for three days before heading back down the road. The group expects to be bock home in Pennsylvonio Sept. 30. offer leovinq arch 31. a o r^b'h^±U°°\eS °1 Osph°" Could be heard on N" o rehabilitative and educational program, came to town. Simpson says Vision Quest contracts with a number of states to provide an alternative to incarceration for delinquent youths States pay $82 a day per youth lor the service. He says tharmembers left their home stale of Pennsylvania March 31, bound for St. Monday afternoon os Vision Quest Trade up with tangible assets Over a period of years, most people acquire tangible assets such as real estate, iand, collectibles and other personal possessions. The value of such assets can fluctuate with the economy, but over the long run these assets usually appreciate and can be effectively "traded up” to build your capital base. Trading up means you buy something at a low price and hold it until you are ready to sell it at a profit in order to purchase a more valuable, object. The profit gives you the means to increase the value of your holdings. The most basic tangible asset, of course, is your home. Selling your first (and usually modest) home at a profit and investing the money in a larger, more expensive one adds to your net worth. Often, the best strategy is to invest the least amount of cash in the first house, make the largest montly payments you can afford and thus get a large income tax deduction for the early years when most of your mortgage payments go toward the interest. Then, when you sell at a profit, you invest the proceeds in another house-so long as it’s your principal residcnce-within two years and avoid paying a capital gains tax. Let’s say you want to purcliase sterling silverware for your home. You would probably watch the market and wait until the value of silver is down, as it was this past spring when it dropped 42 percent from last year. Then you can buy the best set of silverware for the lowest possible price. In a few years, if the value of silver is up again, you may be able to sell yours for much more than you paid, if it is a quality set. This gives you the cash to "trade up" for something more valuable, thereby increasing your capital base. Keep in mind that because hard assets are not liquid and fluctuate in value, you should never tie-up all your capital this way. These assets app%ciate over a longer period of time, and some of your investments should be in vehicles such as money market funds which can be easily liquidated. But most of us like to collect things we enjoy, so we might as well do it the smart way and try to assure gains later. It takes no more effort"then doing it at random. This way you are not just spending money on a hobby, you are building hard assets. If you like books and buy them often, you may accumulate a valuable library. Books are one of the steadiest collectibles and never really decrease in value, although certain authors go in and out of favor. Books are currently on the upsweep and are always in demand. During the 1970 s prices of rare books appreciated by about 10 percent a year. Since 1976, however, books have shown an average increase of about 15 to 20 percent a year. A complete collection of any author or subject has much more value than a random library. Therefore, expert collectors advise accumulating a complete set of rare or limited items to increase the collection's value. While stock commodity prices fluctuate daily, the value of collectibles, changed over longer periods of time. Predicting growth in value is hazardous, and the prudent collection must patiently await the reward. Nevertheless, collectibles do have ad­ vantages as tangible, practical assets. Joseph. Mo.. So far. he says, their trip lias taken them through Ohio. Indiana. Illinois, Missouri. Iowa and Michigan. When they return lo Pennsylvania, they will have gone 2,400 miles. They expect to return to Franklin. Pa.. Sept. 30. "Il gives them a sense of pride and ownership," says Dennis Hopkins, one of the 17 adults who ride along, either with the train or in the advance party that sets up camp akng the trail. "Each kid is responsible for an mimal, and they know they have to take care of that animal. It has to be doctored every day, you have to take care of shoulder sores and bruises. And they know that if that animal isn't in good shape, then it can’t drag that wagon down the road, and they're held accountable to it by the staff. Hopkins says the programs focuses on building self esteem. "That's the primary thing that the program focuses on. self esteem. Many of the kids belittle themselves. They don’t like themselves. They have gained their recognition by doing negative things - robbing and theiving and seeing who could steal the most cars. That's the way they've always gained their recognition." In addition to riding and caring for horses, the youths get the basic education in reading^ writing and arilhmatic, says Hopkins. He adds that some of the boys have turned out to be "real whizzes” at math and many have taken a strong interest in reading. Hopkins says that the Vision Quest cam­ pers have had a lot of interesting visitors along the way. including old Indian chiefs who recite poetry, and an old country folk balladeer who’s written a lot of well-known tunes. Greg is a 17-year-old placed with the Vision Quest program after he was caught burglarizing homes. “I was a slick dude" he says, but then after pulling off numerous burglaries, the law caught up with him. "I was in a detention center for about a month," he says, “Then they were going to send me to lock up. I told them I'd go anywhere but lock up. I wanted to come here because it wasn’t no where behind bars, and 1 wanted to change. Even before I got here I came with a positive attitude.” Greg's advice to other young people in trouble with the law. "All you have to do is quit while you're ahead, turn your life around. "A lot of people hear me say 'Turn your life around’ and they say 'Oh man, listen to this guy. They’ve gone and hypnotized this guy', but it ain’t like that." An odvonce party sets up teepees ahead of the wagon train, which travels about 25 to 30 miles a day.

In addition to quality, the attractiveness, perfection and rarity of an object make it desirable. The more desirable an item, the higher its value. Collectibles and antiques are not automatically classified as investments in the eys of the IRS. Although you must pay capital gains tax on profits made from resale of a collectible, you cannot deduct a loss from your federal income lax unless you show that you bought the collectibles with "the intent of making a profit. Check with a CPA to see if your collectibles can be treated as an investment, and also to find out how to calculate the capital gains tax. In addition, don't forget to watch the market for opportunities to trade up with your tangible assets.

For more information and time, call 9488482 The third giveaway by the U.S. govern­ ment of surplus processed American cheese will take place in Barry County on Sept. 8. Nearly 1,700 five pound blocks will be given away under the supervision of the Com­ munity Action Agency of South Central Michigan (CAA). Distribution sites have been set up in Hastings. Middleville, Hickory Corners. Johnstown Township, Nashville, Prairieville. Delton and Orangeville. Jan VanBuren, nutrition advocate with the CAA, said 336 cases, totalling 10,080 lbs., will be given away in five pound loaves. Eligibility requirements to receive cheese are the same as they were for the May distribution. To be eligible, a person must be an unemployed head of a household; eligible for one or more public assistance programs, i.e.. Medicaid, general assistance (GA), food stamps, supplemental security income (SSI) benefits, aid to families with dependent children (AFDC), or served by a Community Action Agency, or have family income equal to or below 125 percent of the poverty level. The income guidelines are as follows: Household size of one. non-farm — $5,850. farm — $5,013; household size of two, non­ farm — $7,775, farm — $6,638; household size of three, non-farm —$9,700, farm — $8,268. household size of four, non-farm — $11,625, farm — $9,888; household size of five, nonfarm — $13,500. farm — $11,513; household size of six, non-farm — $15,475 farm — $13,138. Because a number of shut-ins meet the eligibility requirements but have no way to obtain the cheese, a representative for that person may pick up the cheese. The shut-ins are asked by the CAA to write a note indentifying their representative and provide some form of identification proving eligibility. One loaf of cheese will be given to families up to four people and two loaves will be given for families five and over. Each person requesting cheese will be required to provide identification, such as a Medicaid card, a food stamp card or an unemployment notification. All people receiving chesse will be required to sign a list, certifying that the cheese is being used only for personal consumption. Distribution will be on Sept. 8 only at these sites and times in Barry County; Hastings—Seventh Day Adventists Health and Welfare Center, 502 E.

In 1981,212 units were used and the cost per unit has increased to $251.08 Even with the tremendous increase in cost per unit, the total cost for electricity for 1981 was $53,180, while in 1975 the total electrical bill was $63,032. But consider this - if the high school was still using as many units of electricity as in 1S75, at 1981's cost per unit, the electrical bill would be $244,234. Sg it can be said that the the school’s energy conservation program saved $191,053 in 1981. “We really did the job on the high school." says Glasgow. "Duane has definitely saved thousand and thousands of dollars for the Hastings School District," says Robert Miller, admistrative assistant. “He's dedicated, doesn’t watch the clock, he’s interested in what he does, and he's a great guy besides." Glasgow's latest project involved swit­ ching the lights in the junior high gym­ nasium from incandescent to high pressure sodium, which creates more light with less power. And at Monday's school board meeting. Miller lured board members and public alike across lhe hall to team about Glasgow's work. Glasgow is quick to point out lhe im­ portance of the entire maintenance staff, and he says "We are doing something about taxpayer s money besides just spending it."

It was the touching real-life drama of a nearly tragic drowning with a happy ending that aroused the interests of Barry County res'dents to come to the rescue when the old dive van broke down. Spearheaded by two Hastings businessmen, a widespread grassroots fund raising drive for a new van materialized after a December incident near Hastings which received international publicity. That was when Scott Smith, then four-years-old. was saved from drowning at Algonquin Lake after he was pulled up from the bottom by dive team members after the lad had been submerged lor more than 30 minutes. The sheriff's dive team and other emergency personnel including the local ambulance and hospital played vital roles in helping to save Scott s life Because the importance of having firstrate rescue equipment had been in the spotlight, public sympathy was high when the old dive van broke down enroute to it's, next emergency call. The fund raising drive made it possible to replace the dive team's 1956 Metro In­ ternational van with the 1973 Chevrolet StepVan seen in Saturday's parade The Step-Van was completely overhauled and restored with volunteer labor and ex pertise prior tothe parade debut, said Sheriff Wood In addition, the van has been stocked with first-class equipment as a result of the fund drive. There is still some electrical work to be completed, but 'he van is now functional and went out on its first call Saturday Hastings Manufacturing overhauled the engine and Ted DeMott rebuilt the tran­ smission. Wes Emory installed new brakes. Many hours of body work grinding out rust, filling in the holes, and sanding — was required including replacement of some sheet metal panels. Step w ells were replaced as well as the hood. "It's been a long slow process since we've had the van in our possession because we've done it all with volunteer labor In Hie days prior to the parade, the volunteer crew deluding Wood and his son. John Townsend. Gerald Lucdecking. Daryl Luedecking. Gerald Smith, and Bob Wellman spent many evening hours at various limes to get the job done ttnee recently. Wood said he and others worked on finishing details until 2 a m The interior of the van was completely redesigned including the removal of the large back doors. Volunteers built closet.-, storage units, and shelves, specifically designed to meet the needs of transporting water rescue equipment For example, special shelves have lieen built to hold the air tanks upright am* 'v. ith regulators all set logo " That's an important feature. Wood said, because it will save valuable lime in reacting to an emergency call. Likewise, there are separate shelves for each dive team members duffle bag w Inch is filled with individual equipment tdive suit-. Dippers, masks, etc >. eliminating the need to sort through a pile of equipment This way they can grab their own duffle bag and go." said Wood. "The design (of the van i and our ideas are based on our past experiences with our other truck. We knew what we needed to improve upon...things like keeping individual equipment together in one unit. “We also wanted Io get a unit like this that is up right, so the men can walk-in and dress (in their rescue gear)," he noted Equipment purchased with the con tributions include five dry suits which are superior to the former wet suits worn by divers.

At one point. visitors got off the bus to take a look at research projects on grapes, growth regulators and rooLstocks. At other stops, researchers discussed raised beds, natural herbicides, nematode prevention, till and no- till tomatoes, stone fruit breeding and ex­ periments with Red Delicious apples and cucumbers. After the bus lours, visitors met with the researchers at the station's new equipment and research development center Exhibits from various MSU departments were on dispalay. including entomology, hor­ ticulture. and botany and plant pathology.

The "Good old Days" encompassed many hardships that we today never knew and rarely think of. Everything from bathing to teeth ex­ traction was a major undertaking. With no hot and cold running water, cleanliness was not the forte of the pioneer To travel any distance, required riding for hours or days in wagons in ihe hot sun in clouds of dirt and dust. Way-stat ion were so far apart that sometimes day or weeks passed without a chance to bathe Not only body odor and dirt, but head and body lice ran rampant in migrating wagon trains. Women wore long. hot. cumbersome dresses with long petticoats underneath. Bonnets for women and wide brimmed haLs for the men. warded off the terrific heat rays. Many died not only from disease, but exhaustion and heal stroke. Many expectant mothers who travelled long distances, by wagon, miscarrried or died in childbirth The only per-natal care then was rest and a good diet, which was next to impossible ior pioneer women accompanying their husbands to open new frontiers and move west. The only pain killer was either whiskey or laudanum, of which the primary ingredient was lium. Dental work was non-existent on the wagon trains and when the tooth decayed enough to cause unbearable pain, the ex­ traction was without pain killers Bullet extraction and amputation were sometimes necessary with the same painful procedure Fresh fruit and vegetables were not in­ cluded in the diet of the travelling pioneer unless they were lucky enough to find wild berries or fresh greens Only food which would "keep" for long periods of time was carried. Beans cooked in iron kettles, and dried, salty meal strips made up their diet Molasses and honey were used for sweets A good source of iron in the diet, was iron absorbed by the food which was cooked in the iron kettle and skillets over open tires. Fresh water for drinking and watering the horses was a constant worry. They could only carry a certain amount, so water was a premium not to be wasted on bathing. The iron cooking utensils were cleaned by rubbing them with sand or salt, then wiped clean and greased with fat to retard rusting There were no headache medication. been attending workshops and forming local commit tees since January.

Canada Geese are very wary of people and do not adapt to population cen­ ters, but the local types have overcome this trait and their numbers are increasing, the Department of Natural Resources reports. Canada Geese, in small tamily groups and large flocks, are making their appearance in the area. The DNR says the geese are probably "homegrown'' and no more than 15 miles from the lake where they were born. The geese are beginning to range away from their home lake to take advantage of waste grain in farmer's fields. They can often be seen winging overhead in the mornings and evenings as they fly to and from the fields. The DNR says this exercise helps strengthen the young geese for their up­ coming migration. The "honk" of Canada Geese overhead is a sure sign that fall is close at hand. Golden Rod. the most common source of hay fever in late summer, is also the most common flowering plant in late summer, the DNR says. The name comes from the deep yellow color of its flat-topped flowering stem. It is most infamous for the large amount of pollen that it produces irritating many people with hay fever problems. And worse yet, it lasts from July until the first frost. Golden Rod commonly grows in old fields and meadows. It takes al least two years to grow, with the first year devoted to establishing a from that reminds one of a dandelion.

September 2. 1982 - Page 11 Saxon athletic program struggles Good news and bad news at Hastings High School First the good news: Hastings High will have an athletic program The bad news is that for the third year in-arow athletics are being supported by parent donations, boaster money and gate receipts, and not through the school system budget. On Monday the Hastings Board of Education decided not to mandate a pay for play program that is currently on its way to court "The board has decided to wait and see what will happen in the courts with pay for play." Superintendent Richard Guenther said. School systems in Jackson and Lapeer County are being taken to court by the Michigan Attorney General’s office because they adopted and put into motion a pay for play plan. An opinion from the Attorney General has made pay for play illegal, and that opinion has the effect of law until challenged in court. Dr. James Atkinson, president of the Hastings Boosters, likes the idea of joining the Jackson and Lapeer schools in the fight. "The Attorney General's opinion is an example of what is wrong with our state right now," he said. "They have cut education to the bone and they are not doing anything to change it around." Atkinson said he was disappointed in the board’s decision not to go with pay for play because he thinks it is the only choice left. The fund raising for sports is getting old he said. “You can sell only so many pizzas, sand­ wiches, and have just so many car washes and the people get tir°d of it," he said. "It gets tougher every year for the boosters to get the money, and it is tough on the parents to keep hitting them up for donations." Atkinson presented a plan as a guideline Monday before the board made their decision. Atkinson's plan calied for a $75 fee per student per sport, or $150 per student per year, or $200 per family, with a program designed to help those that could not afford tl e fee earn the required amount. Guenther said the plan is sound. “Once a decision has been reached in court, you can safely say the board will review their position." he said. Atkinson feels that whether it is pay for play or the current donation system, the bill goes back to the parents Gate receipts make up 'he rest of the program funds that are not covered by the tax deductible contributions from the boosters and the fund raising money. Last year a total of $38,119.61 was realized in gate receipts for all sporting events. That is a iong way from the $75,000 that is takes to fund the full athletic program. Atkinson said. Two years ago the schools depended on seperate fund raising events, donations and the gate receipts just as they will this year. Last year, a major boaster fundraising project including a automobile drawing and several smaller projects, helped fund sports at the high school. Atkinson said they are running out of things to try. Athletic Director Bill Karpinski said that the athletic department is struggling to get fall sports in gear. All the regular fall programs including varsity and junior varsity football, varsity and junior varsity girls basketball, girls tennis, boys golf cross country and junior high girls basketball, have started practice Continued on page 12- Take a look: 138 run in fifth annual Summer-Fest run, Saturday Tom Saxton of Holt and Tom Potter came across the finish line holding hands Satur­ day, leading a field of 138 runners as co­ winners of the fifth annual 7.2 mile Hastings Summer Run. Saxton, 30, and Potter, 28, covered the course in 38 minutes and 33 seconds. The race was part of the annual Hastings Sum­ mer-Fest activities. Their dual victory time was more than two minutes off the course record of 36:27 that was established in 1979 by Tom Duits, a former Hastings High School and Western Michigan University track star. For the second year in-a-row, Jean Swartz, 24, of East Lansing, was the top woman in the race. She defended her 1981 Summer Run win with a 45:47 time and a 24th finish overall. Her time was more than three minutes better than her winning clocking of a year ago. The Hastings Old Boys captured the team competition. They were led by sixth-place finisher Frank Schwartz, and eighth place finisher Eldon Willard. Other members of the winning team were Kevin Woods, Jack Longstreet and Bradley H. Bennett. The 138 people turnout was 64 less than last year’s version of the run, the largest Sum­ mer Run turnout ever of 202. In 1980 136 people competed in the event. Race organizer John Johnston said competition from races in Grand Rapids may have been a factor in the smaller tur­ nout of runners. Jerry Johncock. 54, of Shelbyville, a recent winner in his age group at the Delton Founders Day Run, won the 50 and over title at the Summer Run for the fifth straight time. He turned in a 46:51 time, good for 34th position overall. Top fin'shers in the women 15-19 group included (from left) Michelle Aldrich, Cherie Bradley. Betsy Hauschild and Jackie Jaynes. The oldest runner to finish the race was Scott Derr, 56. of Kentwood. He covered the course in 57 minutes and 40 seconds. Robbie Trowbridge, 12. of Vermontville, Dennis Mennell, 12, of Hastings, and Michelle Aldrich, 12, of Hastings, were the youngest runners. Trowbridge clocked a 45:49 and finished first in the 11-14 age group fnr boys, 26th overall. Mennell turned in a 61:07 and took fifth, 115th overall, and Aldrich was clocked at 56:59, good for first in her age group and 92nd overall. Other local age group winners included Robert Buchanan of Plainwell and Biii Johncock of Shelbyville, both 18, who tied for first in the 15-19 age bracket for men. They came across the finish line together one minute and two seconds behind Saxton and Potter, covering the course in 39:35. They were the third and fourth runners to finish the race. Cherie Bradley, 15, of Hastings clocked a 62:13 and look first in the 15-19 bracket for women. Carol Bender. 42, of Middleville, was the second woman in the race. Her 48:58 time gave her first in the 40-49 bracket for women, and a 44th place finish overall. Trophies were awarded to the top finishers in each of the seven age divisions for men and women. Jean Swartz of East Lansing was the first woman to finish. Top finishers in the men 11-14 group were (from left) Jeff Craun, Tom Freridge. Robby Trowbridge, Denny Mennell and Chris Geething. Tom Potter (left) and Tom Saxton, co-winners of Saturday’s race. Top finishers in the women 30-39 age group category included (from left) Lucerne Cook, Barvara Bjorum, Patty Pipe and Mary White.

Meyerings defeated Lyons Septic Tank Service of Hastings twice in the 14 team tournament that started Friday. On the road to the finals Meyerings struggled with Lyons early winning an 8-7 extra inning decision. Lyons kept the second place trophy in Hastings, while third place went to Battle Creek Glass and fourth to Dillon's of Lan- sing. After losing early, Lyons had to battle back through the loser s bracket to earn their find shot at Meyerings. They did it by beating Athletic Amusements of Hastings 17-4 on Saturday and starting Sunday with a 16-10 over William Morris Construction of Ionia 16-10, a team featuring several former Lakewood High School stars. On the way to the finals they also dropped Kentwood Sports Center 12-4, Dillons 9-1, and Battle Creek Glass 5-1. Meyerings Walt Dobrowski hit the first pitch of the championship game out of the park and his team never trailed. They Scoreboard SiANDiNOa: Petry 44. Sieuiy 42. burke 4).

The petitions, with approximately 1,600 signatures, were filed last week with the county clerk. According to slate law, signatures from at least four percent of the registered voters in each township and city are required to put the proposal on the ballot. Radant lias challenged several aspects of the petitions and has questioned 20 signatures in various townships. In a letter to County Clerk Norval Thaler, he said "the validity of all the petitioifiled is in question since the law requires that such petitions be signed and acknowledged by the circu'ator before a person authorized by law to take acknowledgements.” Radant said the printed petitions did not include any reference to that legal requirement. "There is no printed block to be signed by a person authorized to take acknowledgements nor has there been any attempt on the face of the petitions to bring them into apparent compliance." he said. Radant also says three petition sheets were dated prior to the time when signatures were actually obtained and then were later re-signed and re-dated. “The validity of Vol. 127, No. 35 these three petitions in their entirety rair.es a procedural question," he said. On another petition, Radant alleges that the signature of the petition circulator and the date were both clearly been altered. "It was all dobbed up w ith typewriter correction fluid,” he said Wednesday. Some persons who signed the petitions also now "have volunteered that they probably would not have done so had the circulator explained the financial repercussions to the county." he said. If the proposal is placed on the ballot and approved by voters, the county would lose about $190,000. Thaler could not be reached for comment about the challenges. The petition drive to change the distribution of the county's allocated millage has been spearheaded by the Barry County Supervisors' Association who are concerned about road conditions. In some instances checks by township clerks of questionable signatures on the petitions have proved verification, while some signatures are still being studied. An unusual situation has been found in Johnstown Township that could place the county-wide ballot proposal in jeoprady. Township Supervisor Verlyn Stevens said today <Thursd?”i that a total of 23 signatures have already been declared in­ valid on petitions from Johnstown. If one more signature should be determined in­ valid, the township would not have enough signatures to meet the four percent requirement so the entire effort to place the proposal on the bal'ot would go down the drain, he said. The signature in question is one from a woman who is a registered voter in her maiden name but who signed the petition with her married name. "Legally she is the same person, but we don't know whether her signature will stand up," said Stevens. He said he plans to check into the legality of the signature through the Election Commission in Lansing. Another questionable signature is illegible and no one has been home at the address listed, he noted. "I guess we’ll have to sit tight and wait to see how it comes out." said Stevens. In Castleton Township, where petitions contained only three signatures over the minimum required by state law. Clerk Sharon Bishop said all the questionalbe signatures have been verified. Maple Valley teachers may vote on new contract Monday There is a chance that teachers in the Maple Valley School District may vole as early as Monday on a new two-year contract. Final details of the proposed pact were worked out in a meeting last Friday between members of the Maple Valley Education Association's bargaining ’ unit and representatives of the board of education. Following that session, the tentative contract was forwarded to the Eaton County Education Association for ratification by that board's professional negotiating committee. Until ECEA approval is given, details of the agreement will not be released to the local membership, explained Steven Mac- Hastings, Michigan Donald, immediate past president of the MVEA and a member of the local negotiating team. When contacted Wednesday. MacDonald said there is a possibility that the ECEA action could be completed as early as Thursday night. If it is. the local teachers will receive details of the tentative pact Friday and a ratification vote could be scheduled as early as Monday, he said. The new school year for Maple Valley's estimated 1,605 students started August 31. The district's 75 teachers are presently working under articles of their previous contract. Thursday, Septembers, 1982 Report calls for expanding park commission; hiring executive by Robert J. Johnston The Parks and Recreation Commission should be running more than Charlton Park, a newly released Michigan State University study said. Barry County should expand the role of the Parks and Recreation Commission and hire an executive to run the county parks and other recreation activities, the report delivered by a three man Cooperative Ex­ tension Service study team said. The report also suggested a possible county takeover of the 4-H Camp at Algonquin Dike, close attention to main­ taining the historical character of Charlton Park and development of stronger ties with proven tourists attractions at Yankee Springs and the Kellogg Bird Sanctuary. The MSU specialists added that before a final decision is made to add a campground to Charlton Park, current plans should be reviewed with State Health Department requirements and regulations with an eye to implications on costs from inflation, high interest rates and other factors. THE STUDY 1)11) say that the addition of a campground has the potential of making the park even more self-supporting and reducing the need for county tax dollars. The study also called for the addition of money-making facilities in the historical village at Charlton Park, such as craft shops where articles would be sold, and in the blacksmith shop, an ice cream store and the general store. It cautioned against selling traditional "souvenir items" from outside the state and outside the historical period. The Michigan State professors visited the county on May 14. meeting with 25 county­ people and toured the parks in a day-long session. Preparing the study were L.F. Twardzik. professor and extension specialist in park and recreation policy and ad­ ministration; T.J. Haskell, professor and extension specialist in park and recreation management and operation; and Gaylan Rasmussen, professor and extension specialist in park and recreation planning and design. Specific recommendations from the specialists were; Charlton Park As noted above, the committee said the addition of a campground in the northeast portion has the potential of making the area even more self-supporting and has an ad­ ditional potential of returning sufficient monies to reduce the need of county lax money lor the park and recreation system. The study said the existing historical area and recreation areas seem io tie functioning well and are apparently well maintained But. it said that there is a need to re-design the traffic circulation patterns. It said that the design not only must provide smooth traffic and provide control points for collecting lees, but also must offer visitors a series of "emerging views, so that as the visitor drives through the park, one attractive vista after another unfolds before them." The specialists noted that some of ’he original vistas have become obscured by plant growth and should be renewed by cutting and pruning. In the historical area, the study nointed out that many similar parks have not been limited to the use of buildings and other artifacts to interpret the historical past to visitors “Many similar historical areas utilize not only human guides and role-playing in­ terpreters, but also make use of animals such as sheep, cattle horses, and mules, and sometimes even oxen." the report continued. "Such animals require substantial in­ vestment in time and other maintenance cost, but they are very popular with visitors, particularly children." The study also said that Greenfield Village and Colonial Williamsburg have successfullygenerated additional revenue by providing rides in horse-drawn carriages and wagons, including hay wagons. The report said that the presence of many­ automobiles within the historical village area tends to detract from the "historical atmosphere" that gives the village much of its charm. The MSU professors recommended that two parking areas be set up in the park, one for the historical village and one for the dayuse area. Campers would use the camp area. "We recommend that the railroad be expanded as planned to connect the historical village with the day-use area, and that the idea of horse-drawn vehicles be developed on an agency or concessionaire basis and maintained from the vicinity of the blacksmith shop.” they said. "Perhaps ultimately a livery stable would be an ap­ propriate addition to the village.** The study repeatedly used the examples of Greenfield Village and Colonial William­ sburg as comparisons for the park and suggested that the park copy their successful patterns. 4-H Youth Camp The professors noted that the camp has the potential for year round use. but 4-H programs use it only a fraction of this lime. Th' • cited several alternative solutions. One was to develop the camp as a BarryCounty Youth Camp used by the 4-H and other groups, with the overall responsibly for the camp turned over to the Parks and Nary a hitch in school opening School opened Tuesday with the bong of school bus doors and the bustle of feet in once empty school corridors, but with nary a hitch. "Considering the times that we're in with restricted funds, the opening was very smooth, says Richard Guenther, superintendent of schools. He soys that a preliminary count puts the total number of students in the system at 3,675. including adult ed enrollments. An official count will be made Oct. 1. Recreation Commission and its newly hired executive. A second solution was to transfer the camp by lease or cooperative agreement to the Algonquin l^ake Association for handling administrative seneduling, maintenance, etc., with the 4-H Council playing a sup­ portive role. The report noted that the design of the camp might pose problems because of its division by a road and its closeness to cot­ tages. It also said that the bunk houses are not adequate and need to be remodelled or replaced. The study said the county health depart­ ment should review the sanitary problems at the camp and provide written recom­ mendations. The swimming pool, the professors said, also needs the health department's attention because of the amount of pine needles and other debris that have worked their way into the pool. “It may be necessary...that some of the surrounding trees be removed,’’ the specialists said. Fish Hatchery Park The study team said it does not understand the rationale of filling in and developing most of the ponds as ball fields. “...We would stress that the remainder of the hatchery- site has greater potential for community fishing as has already been recognized in the provision of a youth fishing area in one of the ponds, and a potential tourist attretion to people visiting the county." they said. They added that similar facilities have been used in other parts of the state and in other states as a focal point for a tourist attraction which has brought people into the area to view the various ponds, enjoy fishing, and contribute to the local economy. Parks and Recreation Commission The specialists said it is important fo’- the commission to expand its role to include additional areas and facilities; develop cooperative arrangements with other agencies providing recreation facilities and programs within the county; and assist in developing tourism as a potential source of income to Barry County. "The park and recreation executive should be responsible for the management of more than one park." they said. The study said the commission needs to strengthen the coordination between the county and the state in two areas: using the Yankee Springs area as an anchor attraction for tourism, and developing a similar anchor from the Kellogg Bird Sanctuary. The report called for a skilled professional who would be able to coordinate information on recreational facilities and make it available to tourists and county policy­ makers. "The lack of such (a> coordinating role may well be one of the reasons for the ex­ tremely low ranking <of) Barry County in., tourism." they said. Jaycettes raise funds to "Defeat Dystrophy" Clowns and balloons may have been for fun, Monday, but their reason for being out on the streets of Hastings was serious — the fight to defeat muscular dystrophy.

If you shouted in anger at one of your friends And you cannot resolve to start making amends, Just remember the person who waited until The opponent in question became very ill. Now the burden of guilt is his permanent fate; For by putting it off, he was one day too late. So according to faith, let's admit we are prone To neglect any duty that we can postpone; And religiously vow without further delay Not to wait for tomorrow, but do it today! — Gloria Nowak Collegiate Singers appearing in Delton, September 12th The Morning Star Singers, a collegiate Christian music group, will be appearing in concert at Faith United Methodist Church. 503 S.

September 9, 1982 — Page 5 County football season kicks off Friday night by Greg Johnson Traditional games pitting county rivals liighlight the opening evening of Barry County high school football Friday. Delton-Kellogg travels to ThornappleKellogg and Hastings ventures to Lakewood in a pair of battles for Barry County bragging rights. Meanwhile, Maple Valley rounds out the schedule with a trip to Class D powerhouse Fowler. The Maple Valley Lions game with Fowler will be a non-leaguc affair. The Lions will not see action in their new league, the SMAA. until the third Friday of the season against Olivet. Coach Dan Watson is excited about his team and the new league. "We think it is going to be a fun year,” Watson said "We have some things to work on before Friday, but we should be ready for a good game." One of the reasons the Lions may have fun this year is the return of two lime all­ conference and all-county tight-end Tony Dunkelberger. "'.■’here is no question that we will depend on Tany a lot this season." Watson said. "He is a great athlete and will be one of our big play people.” Last year the Lions opened the season with an 18-0 shutout of Bellevue in a non-lague game. The schedule has a new look for the Lions this season with the addition of the SMAA league members, and the Bellevue game this year will be a ler.gue battle. Members of the league in addition to the Lions and Bellevue, are Bronson, Maple Valley. Olivet. Pennfield. St. Philip and Springfield. In Middleville, where they suffered a 4-5 season last year after two appearances in the stale playoffs, the Trojans are looking to get back to winning ways. Thornapple-Kellogg has a trio of linebackers returning and a lol of experience in the offensive line, and they may be loo much for a young Delton team. FRIDAY’S GAMES... Rob Boshears.

After a summer of baseball, softball, golf, water skiing and plenty of evenings at the disco, the wizard of winner picks is back at his post. The confrontation between the BOSS and the cocky computer has already started to sizzle and should be boiling by the time the season starts Friday. Remember that last year C.J. finished just below 70 percent picking football winners in his rookie season. He claims this year's goal is a lofty 80 percent. The BOSS scoffs at the idea. “That fusehead must have burned out a transis ter over the summer," he exclaimed. As in the past we listened in on the weekly "talk” of C.J. and the Boss. Welcome back to football. BOSS Well C J. I hate to say it, but welcome back to Barry County. How vas your sum­ mer? CJ. Great. I saw the Tigers become losers, and decided to head Atlanta way and become a fan of "America’s team” the Braves. BOSS Come on C.J., you know that America’s team sluff in just cable T.V. hype. CJ. But T.V. is a box and we have some things in common. Besides, the Braves ar** going .to win the pennent. BOSS Not if the Dodgers have anything to say about it. By the way, why did you give up on the Tigers? CJ. Everybody else did. BOSS So you do everything that everybody else is doing? CJ. Only when it fits my style. BOSS What kind of style can a box of fuses and tubes possibly have? CJ. 1 can see that personal attacks will be your favorite pattern of conversation again ’Jus season. BOSS What attacks? 1 merely asked what do you mean when you say style. CJ. 1 think the piles and piles of letters that ’ received through this office over the summer offer proof of my captivating style. BOSS Forget about your style for now. and get back to football. Who will win this Friday’s games, be the national college football champion, and will Billy Sims shun his agent and return to run ail over the Pontiac Silverdome? CJ. Just a minute. I m not sure 1 should answer these questions without my agent present. BOSS YOUR WHAT? Don't tell me you are going to do what I think you are going to do. CJ. You guessed it Mr. Typewriter fingers. I want to talk to your boss about renegotiation of my current contract. BOSS I don't believe it. You have probably been on Billy's side through this whole thing. You are under a contract you box of bulbs. Besides, you only guess high school football scores and offer your crazy remarks each week. CJ. 1 might continue to pick the scores each week, but I will refuse to be involved in a discussion with you each week. You realize what that will do. All my fans will flood the office of your boss with letters. BOSS That is blackmail. CJ. Most of it will he U.S. Mail, when mean things about you all over it. BOSS This is incredible. I will meet with this agent of yours, but I’m telling you that you belter at least have some picks for Friday night. You do realize that the fans depend on your picks for pre-game conversation.? CJ. I'm glad to hear you think I'm needed. Should 1 call my agent in. I have to make a call toeither Buffalo or Detroit. He has other clients there. BOSS Could they be Billy Sims and that Cribbs guy from the Bills? C.J. No comment. BOSS Who is it? CJ. Ah Jerry, could you come in here for a minute? Big Boss Note: C.J. has presented his picks for Friday, but refuses to comment. Bruce Martin (35) dashed around a Delton-Kellogg Panther in the Delton-Hastings clash that ended last year's football season. A new season has arrived with more Barry County confrontations. Martin is back and will lead the Hastings Saxons into battle against the Lakewood Vikings and in another county clash, the Trojans of Middleville will bottle the Vikings of Lakewood. (Bonner photo) "We are very green." Coach Fred Pessel admits. "We have five sophomores on the varsity." Last year a more experienced group of Panthers look advantage of five Trojan turnovers and came away with a 16-6 win. Lakewood Viking coach Tim Wood is singing the same song that Pessel is— inexperience. Wide receiver Dave Hilley. a senior, returns with two years under his belt to lend some experience to the Vike attack. Wood, in his second year as the Vike boss, said he has a good group of athletes, but most of them have a lot io learn They may learn fast when they face a Hastings team that has experience, especially in the line. All-conference lineman Cris Hough is back to handle duty both wavs, and linebacker Dan DeDecker is hack to handle the signal calling duties on defense. Coach Jeff Simpson enters his first year as the big boss, but the Saxon system remains the same. Last year the Saxons prevailed 21-14 in the opener. Game time for the Hasbngs-Lakewood matchup is 7:30 p m. at Lakewood High. Game lime at Middleville for the TK-Delton game is also 7:30. and Maple Valley will start their game in Fowler at 7:30.

Bruce Martin, a senior that played defensive end last year, will be the monster man this season. Simpson expects Martin to be a big play man for the Saxons on offense as well as defense. Rounding out the defensive returners is linebacker captain Dan DeDecker. Martin, a fullback when the Saxons have the ball, and Hough, a tackle at all times, lead the four offensive returners. The other two are junior tailback Louis Burroughs and senior guard Willie Barry. On offense the Saxons plan to take ad­ vantage of the southpaw of quarterback Conner, and lanky sophomore signal caller Mike Matthews may work his way into the lineup some. Martin will run at fullback and tailback and Burroughs will be at tailback with Larry Thomas L. Johnson Hastings Reinforced Plastics, Inc. Great Lakes Federal A new coach, a new quarterback and a strong defense are the key ingredients of the Hastings Saxon plans for being a part of the Twin Valley title race. Jeff Simpson, an assistant under Bill Karpinski and Don Folmar, is now the head coach ol the Saxons. John Karpinski, a three year all-state quarterback, is gone and senior southpaw Steve Conner has taken over. But the best part, the new coach says, is the strong defense he sees developing. “The defense should be our strongest area,” he says. "If we perform to our ex­ pectations. the defense will make their presence known." Last season with Karpinski running wild the Saxons scored an average of 26 points a game. Simpson said he doesn't expect that kind of scoring this year. “Our offense has the potential to be very good, but the main thing we want is con­ sistency," Simpson says. "Our defense should set the stage and our offense will hopefully take advantage." Replogle, Louis Burroughs, Mike Matthews.

Green Lakewood-Lake Odessa troops plan to be competitive A lack of experience will not stop the Lakewood Vikings from being competitive, second year Coach Tim Wood says. The Vikings, who return just three starters on offense and one on defense from a 4-5 team last year, will take each game as it comes. "We will go into each game and we will be competitive." Wood adds with emphasis. The three players that have experience in competition on offense include a pair of receivers. Junior tight-end Ken Corp and senior wide receiver Dave Hilley. a two year letterman, offer hands that have seen battle. Pat Jemison, a guard, is the only other returning offensive performer. Hilley. a safety too. is the lone starter back on the defensive side. The returning trio of starters join four other letterwinners as the only experience the Vikings will offer. “We have some good athletes, but not many have played a lot of football," Wood says. bob Offley, the number two quarterback last year, is back as one of the letterwinners, and Wood says he has thrown the ball well in early practice. Dan Thomas, a letterwinning fullback last season, is back and has been changed to the guard position. Brett Woodman, a let­ terwinning tailback, is back, and Marty Beckwith, who won a letter for time at tackle, is back. Wood said the corps of receivers is a strong part of the team. Hilley, Corp and David Joppie are very good. Wood says, and will be the reason the Vikings will throw the ball “quite a bit”. Joppie will be the split end. Hilley the flanker and Corp will hold down tight-end duties and offer targets to Offley. Jemison will move over from guard to start at center and anchor the line. The guards will be Malt O'Mara and Ken Love and the tackles will be Marty Beckwith and Jerry Mast. Offley will call the shots as the quar­ terback, Woodman will be the starting tailback and cannonball runner Charles Coon will be the fullback. Ten of the eleven spots had to be filled on defense. Joining Hilley, who will be a defensive end this seasen, will be Dan Thomas on the other end. Beckwith and Brad Stoverat tackles and O'Mara or Jemison at the nose guard position. Corp and Bruce Daggett will be the linebackers and Joppie and Dave Barker will handle the comers. The monster position will be manned by Woodman. Steve Spetoskey or Doug Curtis will be at the safety spot, rounding out the 5-2 defen­ sive set. The Vikings open with neighborhood rival Hastings on Friday. The first Tri-River game for them will be against Sparta. Wood sees a balanced race in the Tri-River this year. He says Lowell, Greenville. Coopersville and Fremont will all have good shots at the title. Practice has produced a slew of nagging injuries. Wood says, but he expects everyone to be ready on Friday. The game will be played on the Viking field starting al 7:30 p.m. �Delton-Kellogg will work hard to overcome being “green” team Barb’s Yarn and Fabric Shop Barry County Lumber Home Center 478 N.

Shawn Methany, (third) Randy Delton-Kellogg head coach Fred Pessell said his team will have to work hara to overcome being the "greenest team" he has had at the school. The Panthers are so green that five sophomores have been called up to the varsity. Ten letterwinners are back lending some experience, but only a few saw a lot of fulltime action last year. The two starters back on offense that offer the most experience are guard Wade Lester and tackle Gary Fales. Quarterback John Whitledge, who came up late in the season as a sophomore last year, is back, but nursing a broken bone in his foot. He was expected to hook up with another late blooming sophomore from last year, receiver Rick Hurdlebrink. Junior Eric Pessell and sophomore Steve Tuin will handk* the quarterback job while Whitledge is down and out. Rusty Carroll, a starter at linebacker and fullback last season when he wasn't out with an injury, will offer experience both ways. Robert Miller, a starter at defensive end last year is back, as are Mike DeBolt an inside defensive guard and Brent McCowan, a senior linebacker. As late as Tuesday, Pessell said he could not speculate on a starting line-up for Friday's opener with Middleville. ' I just don't know yet.” he said. "You may see all 25 players in the game." Canute, Jim VanHoose. Chuck Palmer. Ray Cook. Dovo Vickory, Robert Bell, William Warner, (back) head coach Fred Pessell. Mike Madill, Dennis Munson, Wayne Bourdo. Terry Ketchum, Steve Tuin, Darwin Grote, manager Dawn Akers and assistant coach Vick Haas. The Panthers will show multiple sets on offense and use a four man down defensive front. "We plan to try some different things,” he said. “A lot of the players will be learning as we go along." In addition to the loss of Whitledge, the Panther team lost a tailback candidate to injury. Wayne Bourdo broke his hand playing softball this summer. Pessell said he hopes to see young team work to improve. "If we can improve each game and win our share, this team can call themselves a success,” he said. The Panthers open their season Friday at Thornapple-Kellogg in Middleville, and Pessell is wary of the Trojan tradition. “They are going to be an improved team, and they usually have a lot of sound football players." he said. "It is not a league game, but they are close by and it is a rivalry.” Last year the Panthers took advantage of five Trojan turnovers to post a 16-6 win. Pessell said the addition of Paw Paw and Kalamazoo Hackett makes the KVA a much tougher league this year. He sees Galesburg, Kalamazoo Christian and Hackett as the favorites. In addition to a tougher league and a green roster, the schedule maker has loaded the front part of the Panther schedule. In the first four weeks they will meet Middleville, Parchment, Kalamazoo Christian and Kalamazoo Hackett. 138 W. State Street Hastings, Michigan Bosley Pharmacy UBS.

Hastings band director Jack Bender is excited about the good attitude his students have this year, his second year leading the high school band. ‘‘I can't possibly describe what a nice experience we had this summer," Bender said of the week at band camp at Central Michigan University, Aug. 2-7. “The attitude of the students continues to improve." Bender has drawn up some unique shows for football half-time performances. The first show mixes some quickly formed religious symbols such as a cross, a fish and a triangle with a circle inside, with some Gregorian chant music. •‘It all goes on without the public being aware at all," Bender says. To highlight the religious theme of the show, the second performance will feature some bandsmen in monk costumes. The band's next show will be a marching drill based on the best selling record "Hooked on Classics". Themes from seven classic pieces are featured — "Captriccio Italian", "Swan Lake", "Humoresque”, “Habenera", "Trepak” from the Nutcraker, Dvorach’s "New World Symphony" and a Rachmaninoff piano concerto based on a theme by Paganini. In the show the band will form into the shape of a matador's hat and imitate a matador. Other shapes formed will be musical notes, the “f" hold of a violin and the onion-top of a Byzantine tower. The show will also feature the band in the shape of a heart performing Barry Manilow’s "I Was a Fool to Let You Go” and Kenny Rogers' "Love the World Away". On Oct. 12 the band will take its show to the district band festival in the Grand Rapids area. All of the music performed at the festival will be specially arranged by Hastings graduate Lee Dillard. Acting in the role of field conductor this season is trumpeter Jack Wiswell, a sophomore. Sally Czinder, a senior oboeist, is tne flag captain. She was a member of the Grand Rapids-based Coachman Drum and Bugle Corps that recently performed in Montreal. The band has been reduced from 123 members last year to 99 because of the effect of a five hour school day on enrollment. Bender explained that many students were not able to fit band into their schedules because only one high school band class will be available instead of two. The band is also changing its concert format, dropping the combined concerts with the vocal music department and featuring the bands of all grades, six through 12. "We did one like that last year,” Bender explained, “and got a good response. It allows the younger people to see where they're going. And, the parents had no idea how the symphonic band played " The band is also planning another in-school concert for the high school students. Last year it presented a spring concert that reviewed different styles of music. The February or March concert will be based on Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War. Bender said he also plans to do something for the elementary and junior high students, such as a young people’s concert. That band is currently working toward a Mexican trip, paid for by parents and fun­ draising activities. The Band Boosters will hold their annual fruit sale in February and are planning a cheese and sausage sale in November. Cassette tapes of the symphonic band, recorded in concert last year, will also be sold as a fundraiser. Booster money is being set aside for the Mexican trip. Other projects funded by the boosters are chaperones and instructors at band camp, awards, guest conductors and special performing groups. The largest amount of booster money is spent for scholarships to summer music camps. The boosters also purchase some special equipment. The special music arrangements for the district festival by Lee Dillard were purchased by the boosters. Bender has been teaching in Hastings for eight years. He is a 1970 graduate of Central Michigan University. He received a master’s degree from Western Michigan University in 1978 and a specialists degree from Western this year. The Hastings band is high stepping after a successful summer band camp, director Jack Bender says. (Banner photo) T-K band off to fresh beginning After putting budget cuts behind it, the Thornapple Kellogg marching band is off to a fresh start with five half-time perfomances scheduled. “Last year 1 was dreading everything because of the schedule and the budget cuts and everything. But I have a lot off my mind this year, and I'm looking forward to the season more than ever." says Tom Nash, TK band director. This is Nash's 12th year as director. The Marching Trojans will be giving a half-time performance at home ever)’ second Friday, starting Sept. 1. Thornapple-Kellogg Marching Band Hastings Business Services The Sept. 10 show, the first Friday back, will be a "Meet the Band" night, and on Sept. 2'. jazz from the 1940s will be featured. Nash says the band's Oct. 8 Homecoming performance will be subdued", but will be more than made up for by an Oct. 22 band night featuring the junior and senior bands. And finally, a country and western show Nov. 5, the band's last half-time per­ formance of the year, will bring that down home flavor to Robert White Stadium. One change in the band that fans will notice right off is its size. Instead of.two bands, as in the past, there will be one large unit, comprised of 77 students, according to Nash. He says "an a. ministrative decision” is responsible for the change. Two key personnel this year are senior Tim Lewis, drum major, and freshman Shelly Raab, a baton-twirler. Nash says that Raab has performed her dazzling baton work in Europe for the past two years, and is almost certain to thrill T-K fans al home. The band is expected to perform in a few away dates later on, says Nash, but not many. "We're just building our program now. and are lucky to get our five half-time shows in" he says. f Hastings Saxon Marching Band Hastings Savings & Loan Barry Cleaners COLOR CENTER BURGER CHEF 321 S.

September 9. 1982 — Page 9 Lakewood band returns from camp to face busy schedule I.akewood High School band members and director Douglas Lawson have recently returned from band camp, and are ready to begin a marching schedule which will see the band in an average of one public per­ formance a week for the entire school year. The yearly camp, says Lawson, is held to refine marching and playing fundamentals and to prepare pregame and one complete half time show, including the learning of routines and memorizing of music. "The band camp week is especially valuable because it gives us the equivalent of about nine weeks of regular school rehearsal time with no outside interference, along with time for recreation and building group spirit," says Lawson. The Viking band faces a busy schedule year with a performance schedule that inculdes an average of one public perfomance a week for the whole school year, according to Lawson. That busy schedule includes the band playing in half of the girl's basketball games and half of the boy's basketball games this winter, with the concert choir picking up the remaining performances. The band's first appearance will be in I.akewood Sept 10 in a home match against Hastings Three more at-home halftime shows fbllow: Lakewood's homecoming Sept. 24. an Oct 8 performance featuring the 8th grade marching band and an Oct. 29 match.

Open Hoose set for county building Offices in the Barry County Courts and Health Bldg., located al 220 W. Court St..

Substance Abuse, Vets Council Community Action Agency (Winterization) and Youth Service Bureau, all located on the third floor. All items made in Japan from the begin­ ning of the United States occupation at the end of the Wrorld War II. until April 28. 1952. when the occupation ended, had to be marked in one of four ways; "Japan", "Made in Japan”. "Occupied Japan" or "Made in occupied Japan." Due lo the fact that many Japanese were not everjoyed with the occupation to begin with, it's not too unrealistic to assume that for fewer than half of the items were marked lo advertise the fact. In any case, you will find many similar or like items which offer only "Japan" or "Made in Japan." and thus there is little way of actually proving that the piece was in fact made during the period of time known as the “Occupation". When something is manufactured in a limited number, or over a limited period of time, someone is bound to be collecting it. This has happened with the items exported with the words "Made in Occupied Japan" stamped on theirs. The collecting which started quietly at first has taken voice and being heard loud and clear. I urge you lo look for quality pieces when buying Occupied Japan. The finer pieces in any field of collecting hold their value over the years and appreciate more rapidly. A word of caution; Unscrupulous people have been known to hand-stamp "Occupied Japan” onto some pieces. On glazed items, the original marks will be found under the glaze and won't wash off or disappear with nail polish remover. On unglazed pieces, you need lo exercise caution. Wet the marking and rub vigorously. If it's a true dyed stamp, it shouldn't smear or disappear. Figurines with two or more figures on one base are better than single figured ones. Matching pairs of Occupied Japan figurines command higher prices due to their still being together and undamaged after a 30 year time lapse. Size and richness of design and painting are things to consider when purchasing pairs of figurines. Figures of more than eight inches in height are desirable; figures of 14 inches or taller are extremely desirable and practically im­ possible lo find. For some reason, known only to the Japanese, statues of Americans tend lo be of Colonial times and Colonial dress. Elves and pixies are among the most adorable of the O.J. collectibles. Because of their great demand, their prices rise steadily. Generally, elves with varying colored suits astride insects or animals showmore detail and workmanship than do elves with suits of a single color; hence the price discrepency between the two. Pixies have ruffled hats, and elves have cone shaped ones. O.J. delft blue figurines are more scarce (han others. Because of this, they command a much higher price. A single figure from four to six inches tall, ranges in price from $15 lo $22 in antique shops. When buying the "Hummel-like" O.J. figurine, look for excellence in work­ manship. Many are crudely made, molded and painted. The varied imagination of the Japanese is exemplified in their O.J. Toby mugs. They range from devil to parson, from pretty lady to dogs. There's even a set of six "strip tease" mugs, each depicting a lady in dif­ ferent stages of undress. The set sells for $75. The O.J. mugs with human or animal form handles are very marketable. Many small toys were made during the occupied years. Oftimes these are overlooked as their markings are more difficult lo spot. Among a few are wind-up cars, modeled from our own Chevrolets, Fords and Studebakers. Rubber toys, wooden checker sets, miniature and adult size China dishes, papier mache lacquered trays, celluloid and metal items, tables, stainless flat ware, and more. Beautiful inlaid mother-of-pearl lamps, lacquerware boudoir screens, hand made silk kimonos, fine colored cut glass perfume bottles with tall stoppers, and fine featured Japanese dolls dressed in beautiful silks and brocades reflect the master craftsman and artisan oi the Orient. These very desirable works of art command high prices in shops today, and are diligently sought by the ad­ vanced collector of Occupied Japan. The calendar was turned back 50 years in Prairieville last weekend and an estimated 22,000 people turned out to partake in the four-day farm festival with an old-fashioned flair. The event, organized and hosted In­ Marguerite and Bill Aukerman at their Green Acres Farm, grossed over $30,006 When all the bills are paid, the proceeds will divided-up to benefit several community projects, he said. The fourth annual Prairieville Old Fashioned Farm Days "was a terrific success." said Aukerman. "We had hun­ dreds and hundreds of compliments from people telling us what a relaxed atmosphere it was for such a big event. We just had a terrific response. "Every year we've doubled and we doubled again this year We re going to be bigger next year and have some more new ideas," said Aukerman. A buffalo chip contest, a new addition this year, generated nationwide media attention because Aukerman made the chips himself, from raw material furnished by a new barnyard friend, Buffalo Billy. More than 250, from toddlers to senior citizens, participated in the chip contest held Monday. About $300 worth of souvenier buffalo chips were sold and that money is earmarked toward the cost of building a Michigan Farmers Hall of Fanle which Aukerman is working to establish. "I’m still going to be making the chips." he adds and those proceeds will be put into the hall of fame fund. He is taking orders for custom jobs and says he will make anything anyone wants out of buffalo chip material After reading about Aukerman's project in a Pennsylvania newspaper, a New Jersey resident asked him to make 12-coaslers out of the buffalo chips that she will use in a recreation room bar. The finished coasters will be sealed with a coal of arcrylic resin. Persons who would like to make con­ tributions to the Michigan Farmers Hall of Fame building can send donations to the Production Credit Association in Hastings. 1 Checks should be made out to the Michigan Farmers Hall of Fame.) Aukerman said he and a committee of two others will be studying the best place to have the building and hope to make that an­ nouncement at next year's event Monday the first four men were inducted into the Michigan Hall of Fame during ceremonies at Prairieville Farm Days. Honored were John Woodman of Orangeville Township, Karl Palmatier of Prairieville Township. Arthur Winters of Barry Town­ ship. and Ira Osgood of Hope Township They • were given awards by Congressman Howard Wolpe. State Representative Robert Welborn, and Shirley Drake, representing Production Credit Association Several hundred campers set up tem­ porary homesteads on the Aukerman's farm for the event. The tractor pull on Saturday was one of the largest ever held in this area, he said. Bet­ ween 80-100 tractors were involved. "There were over 50 four-wheel drive trucks in another event. The new "antique tractor pull event was a smashing success. And over too kids participated in the pedal tractor pull. It was really a success and we had over 300 kids and adults in the greased pig contest." said Aukerman. Other activities included square dancing, a mule pull, an arts and crafts show, a national pony pull championship and more. “It was absolutely out of this world. It was beautiful." said Mrs. Aukerman. “Everybody liad a good lime. "1 want to thank everybody for coming and for participating and to those who had anything to do with setting up the show and helping to make it the success that it was. A lot of people put out a lot of work and I don't even know who some of them are,” said Aukerman. Politicians had a chance to really sling it, during the Buffalo Chip Contest. Here, Congressman Howard Wolpe throws out the first chip. The crowd had plenty to cheer about over contest like the draft horse barnyard fun pull, showing off the strength of the animals.

Jobless rate drops in August Michigan's August unemployment rate dipped slightly from its July level of 14.7 percent to 14.5 percent, according to estimates released today by S. Martin Taylor, director of the Michigan Em­ ployment Security Commission. Taylor reported that the state's seasonally unadjusted August jobless rate of 14.5 per­ cent meant that 637,000 workers were unemployed during the month, a drop of 11,000 from July. A year earlier. August 1981. Michigan's unemployment rale was 11.0 percent with a 483,000 out of work Although the jobless ra<e did drop during the month, it is at its highest level for any August since 1958 when 15.9 percent of the suite's labor force were without jobs The state's jobless rale, which has averaged over 15 percent since January, continues to reflect the underlying weakness in the state's economy. Taylor attributed the unemployment decline to students leaving the state's labor force as they gave up looking for summer jobs. Michigan's seasonally adjusted August jobless rate was 15.2 percent with 662.000 out of work In July the rate had been 14.4 per­ cent with 624.000 unemployed. Nationally, the August adjusted jobless rate remained unchanged from July's 9.8 percent �The Hastings Banner, Thursday, September 9, 1982 — Page 11 $2,600 raised for M.D. fight The Hastings Jaycettes and a crew of volunteers raised $2,600 in cash contributions and telephone pledges during their effort for the Muscular Dystrophy Association, Monday.

On Wednesday, Superintendent William R. Eckstrom and LEA President Steve Secor both said negotiations went smoothly and they think the votes will be positive. The teachers voted this afternoon (Thursday) and the board will vote at a meeting this evening. Eckstrom said he has not heard any negative comments about the new three year contract that would be effective June 30, 1982, to June 30, 1985. “Both sides worked very hard to come up with an agreement," he said. Secor said relations between the board and the LEA have been good. “We kept bargaining at the table until we were both satisfied,” he said. Eckstrom said the school year has sUrted in good shape and enrollment is up over projected numbers. An estimated loss of GO­ TO students has turned out to be around 30 he said. Eckstrom said a statement detailing the contract terms will be released if and when the contract is approved Maple Valley teachers agree to wage freeze Maple Valley teachers will be working this year under the same wage schedule as last year, under terms of the new contract ap­ proved Monday. Approved by a 41-28 vote, the contract between the Maple Valley Education Association and the board of education provides for no changes this year, but will grant a five percent increase of base pay in the 1983-84 school year. The board also approved the contract Monday and last week the agreement was ratified by the Eaton County Education Association. Fringe benefits in the new contract remain the same as in the previous agreement. Lucinda Martin, president of the MVEA, said that even though students have a shortened school day this year, teachers are putting in more time since the number of classes per day has been increased from five to six . Each class is 52 minutes long. In addition to having an extra class to prepare for, teachers now have an increase of 20 minutes per student contact time. “People think because school is letting out earlier that students have less contact time," she said, "but the opposite is true." Also implemented this school year was a provision of the old contract which lets each teacher choose his or her own conference lime at either 7 a.m. to 8 a.m., before school begins, or 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. after school ends. Present enrollment at Maple Valley, which commenced classes on Aug. 31, is estimated at 1,605, a decline of 65 students. Kalamazoo officials trace B&E loot to Barry County Kalamazoo County Sheriff officials say I hey have cracked a B&E ring that may be responsible for a number of Barry County break-ins. According to Det. Sgt. Ken Blue c' the Kalamazoo Sheriff Dept., some of the properly recovered from a cache of stolen goods can "absolutely" be traced to Barry County homes. He says the stolen goods consist of guns, stereos, TVs, jewelry and tools, and estimates their worth at “several thousands of dollars." Blue says that seven or eight suspects, all Kalamazoo residents ranging in age from 18 to 30. have been arrested in connection with the stolen goods. Officials from the Barry County Sheriff Dept, and the Hastings State Police team will be travelling to Kalamazoo sometime in the next week to read officials their reports of area break-ins, according to Dei Ken DeMolt of the Barry County Sheriff Dept.. DeMott says it is too early to tell just which break-ms can be tied to the Kalamazoo ring, but that officials here have several that they want to talk about Kalamazoo officials began investigating the ring following a Sept. 8 break-in in nor­ thwest Kalamazoo County. According to Det. Sgt. Blue, a witness to that break-in observed a vehicle, and reported its license number to police. The number was traced to two suspects, and interrogation of those two led to five or six more individuals, and a house on Kalamazoo's southeast side, where the goods were recovered. TK teachers and administrators volunteer to postpone raises Teachers and administrators in the Thornapple-Kellogg Schools have volun­ teered to postpone pay increases until January in an effort to help the school system. Superintendent Gerald Page said Wed­ nesday that postponement of the raises will help the school with cash flow problems caused by late state aid payments. The school system is still waiting for August state aid money of about $200,000, Page said. “With them (teachers and administrators) waiting to get their raises it helps us because we don’t have to borrow as much money, and we don't have to pay as much interest," Page said. “Local revenue in the form of taxes comes during December and they will get their raises after the first of the year." Page said he approached the teachers and administrators with the idea and they volunteered to do iL The school system is still in negotiations with the non-instruction employees and school bus drivers. Page said all employees of the system are currently working at last year’s salary levels.

All three were pronounced dead at the scene by Dr. Jim Hogan Barry County Sheriff deputies say the 1972 Chevelle, driven by Herbert, was westbound on Orchard Rd., about one-half mile west of Eddy Rd., about 7:40 p.m. when it suddenly left the north side of the road, spun, and struck a tree with its left side coming to rest in a swampy area. A witness to the accident told deputies that the Herbert vehicle was travelling at a high rate of speed prior to the crash. Responding to the mishap were units from Barry County Sheriff Dept..

The 138. present contract expires on Feb. 1, 1983. The company told the union on A ig. 23 that "This was a consent vote as to whether or unless labor costs are reduced. 150 jobs not the membership wishes for us to discuss would be moved elsewhere, probably outside matters with the company prior to our of Michigan.

Witham also said that in the past year and a half the number of salaried jobs has been “substantially" decreased through layoffs and retirements that have not been replaced. 150 people throughout the company have been laid-off in the past one and a half years, he said. "We’re seeking reductions from our current total labor costs to become more competitive in order to maintain the jobs we have in Hastings and not continue with declining employment," Witham said. “Our primary desire is to maintain the jobs in Hastings."

"We have a problem in all of our areas of production due to competition," he added.

The company currently employs about 600 people, 400 of them in the union. Prosecutor’s office says tax petitions are not valid Voters in Barry County will not be voting on a proposal at the November election to change the amounts of millage allocated to the county and townships. The Barry County Prosecutor's office has issued an opinion that the initiatory petitions, filed with the county clerk's office to place that proposal on the ballot, are not valid because proper procedures were not followed. Chief Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Dale A. Crowley said Wednesday that "the petitions that were submitted did not comply with the law. Visser was arrested after troopers from the Hastings State Police team and Allegan sheriff deputies responded to a 4 a.m. report of a door being kicked in at the lumber yard. The owner of the yard was called and the premises searched. According to State Police reports, trooper Steve Miller found the suspect hiding behind a storage rack. A Sept. 20 preliminary exam lias been set for a 17-year-old Hastings man charged with unlawfully driving away a motor vehicle and receiving and concealing stolen property over $100. Jeffrey Lynn Coolidge, 1850 Woodruff Rd., was arrested by Barry County Sheriff deputies Sept. 8 for the theft of a Honda 350 motorcycle from the yard of Gene Jorgen­ sen, 89 Hammond Rd. According to police reports, the suspect was seen with the bike Sept. 8. and questioned.

Hastings. ------- --- / 150 jobs at stake in Hastings Manufacturing negotiations Truck stolen from Freeport man’s yard A Freeport man told Barry County Sheriff deputies that someone stole his 1979 Ford pickup truck from his yard Tuesday night. Alden Grinnell. 355 Cherry St., told police that he parked ’he vehicle, a green Ford F150. in a pull off area on the west side of his yard Tuesday night around 9 p.m.. Grinnell says he took the keys, and locked the doors. When the Freeport man looked outside Wednesday morning, the truck was gone, according to sheriff reports. Value of the truck is reported to be about $4,500. Deputies entered the truck into LEIN (LawEnforcement Information Network), and say the case is on hole pending more information on a possible suspect. The larceny of telephone cable from the corner of M-66 and Thornaple Lake Rd. was reported to the Barry County Sheriff Dept. Tuesday. Bill Stephen, representing Michigan Bell, called to say someone had stolen 150 feet of I'a-inch black plastic telephone cable worth $332.42. Two additional thefts of cable were also reported at Hager and Scipio Roads in Eaton County. Michigan State police arrested a 17-yearold Hopkins man early Sunday morning during the investigation of a break-in at Gun Lake Supply. Elbert Visser demanded a pre­ examination at his arraignment in Allegan District Court Monday for breaking and entering. That pre-exa mi nation is set for Friday. A preliminary exam is set for Sept. 22. Price 20* "The circulators of the petitions had not been notarized. That alone was sufficient to invalidate thun, although there may also have been other grounds.” The petition drive, which netted about 1,600 signatures, had been spearheaded by the Barry County Township Supervisors' Association who wanted to ask voters to. approve reducing the county's millage by one-half mill and at the same time increase the townships allocated share by that amount for road improvements. If approved by voters, the county would have lost approximately $190,000 in revenue. The deadline for placing a proposal on the November ballot was August 31. County Clerk Norval Thaler told the Barry County Board of Commissioners Tuesday that "it was the prosecutor’s opinion that none of the petitions were legal." About seven township supervisors at­ tended the board meeting and some in­ dicated that they might look into the possibility of petitioning for a special elec­ tion on the tax issue. "The people want a choice," Hastings Township Supervisor Richard Thomas said. The November ballot already will include a proposal to ask voters to approve in­ creasing the total allocated millage from 15 to 15.5 mills so townships can gain an extra half-mill for roads. That request was initiated by the Barry County Tax Allocation Board. The supervisors had wanted to keep the total millage the same, but reduce the county's allotment. County Board Chairman Kenneth Radant had challenged several aspects of the supervisors' petitions for the tax shift and had questioned 20 signatures in various townships. Some petitions in Thornapple Township were invalidated when someone other than the circulator had signed as the circulator. In other business, at Tuesday’s meeting, the county board decided to convene at 1 p.m. September 28 for the purpose of holding a public hearing on truth in taxation for county millage. Another public hearing has been set for 4:30 p.m. that same day, in the com­ missioners' room, to discuss a nuisance code for the Barry-Eaton District Health Department. Nuisance, in this instance, refers to solid waste, rodents, or anything dangerous to public health. Commissioner Paul Kiel reported to the board that the county has paid about $34,673 in unemployment compensation in the last six months. "This is a tremendous cost to the county," he said. "I’m all in favor of unemployment for people who can't or are not working through no fault of their own," Kiel added. The board voted unanimously to order all department heads to appear in person at an> appeal in which a county employee is fired or quits voluntarily. In another matter, Kiel reported that the Barry County Commission on Aging received approximately $102,000 from the Southcentral Commission on Aging — which amounts to about $10,000 less than the county got last year. Blaine McLeod has been hired as an ap­ praiser in the county equalization depart­ ment, to fill Sue Raseley's former position. Kiel reported that the Gull Lake Sewer project is running on schedule, although no work has yet been done in Barry County. When work begins on the Barry portion of the project, traffic on that part of M-43 will be re­ routed for three to four days, he said. The board received a letter from Hastings Superintendent Richard Guenther requesting a committee to work with the Barry Intermediate School District, Ted Bustancc. director of Barry County Transit, the city of Hastings, the Hastings Board of Educa'ion. and commissioners to study the transportation of local students to avoid duplication and save funds. The Barry County Fraternal Order of Police notified the board that its contract expires December 31 of this year and wishes to begin negotiations. �The Hostings Bonner, Thursdoy, September 16, 1982 — Page 2 Police & Court Beat Jury finds Jones guilty "I’m very pleased with the verdict," commented Hughes.

Johnston Joint committees are being formed bet­ ween Hastings schools and the city to study combining library services and combining the YMCA-Youth Council with school athletic and ntramural programs. Th? committees were proposed by the board of education in its annual report. Mcnday, the City Council appointed David Jasp?rse. chairman of the Planning and Ordinance Committee; Patrick Vaughan. Properly Committee chairman; and Eileen Oehler, librarian, to the committee that will slud}- combining the library services. Mary Lou Gray, chairman of the Parks, Recreation and Insurance Committee, and Mary Spackman, Finance Committee chairman, were named to the second committee which is looking at combining all formal and recreational sports programs under one director. The school board said in its report that the combined expense for library services between the city and the schools has been in excess of $100,000. Currently, all library services in the schools have been eliminated. It also noted that funding for high school athletics has been coming completely from the private sector in recent years, due to the schools' financial problems. In other city action, the council received a proposed budget for a part-time housing inspector needed to implement the recently . passed rental housing ordinance. Michael Payne, assessor and housing officer, said the total cost of the office would be $20.’99 per year for two employees. 20 hours per week. The inspection officer would receive wages of $7,020 and the secretary would be paid $6,053. A traffic control order was approved which will prohibit left turns from westbound Court Street onto Jefferson Street. Another order prohibits parking in front of Hastings City Bank on Court Street from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The left turn lane is being eliminated to preserve the parking spaces on the south side of Court Street between Jefferson and Michigan. Police Chief Mark Steinfort said the street is not wide enough to safely maintain the turn lane. "It is very essential to us...to have parking,” Gerald Bolthouse, owner of True Value Hardware, said. "We need it and we need it badly. We can’t get along with any less than we have. Anytime parking is filled up that close, you are bound to lose trade.” A bid for repairing one of the water wells at Tyden Park, estimated at $6,200, was ac­ cepted from Raymer Co. of Grand Rapids. The well has been pumping sand and has been diverted from the water system. A bids were approved for gasoline from Kent Oil Co. of Nashville at 99.1 cents per gallon and for road salt from International Salt Co. at $24.71 per ton. Michael Kiovanich, director of public services, said he expects to purchase 800 to 1,000 tons of salt this year. Petitions for blacktop, curb and gutter, water and sanitary sewer were received from contractor Daniel Walker for Lincoln Street from Ferris to Englewood streets. Walker also petitioned for sanitary sewer on East South Street from Orchard to Hayes street. Richard Guenther, retiring superintendent of Hastings schools, was reappointed to a five year term on the Local Officers Com­ pensation Committee. The BoyScouts were given use of Bob King Park from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 3 to hold a district scout Olympics.

Pictured from left are Gary Parks, Dairy Queen regional manager: $1,000 winner Dorothy Maitland; Mrs. Grogan and her husband Bob. Three big winners “cash-in” at Dairy Queen For the second time in a week, an area resident has won big bucks in the Dairy Queen game. Doi athy Maitland, of Wall Lake in Delton, couldn't belive it when she rubbed off the silver ccating of a game card to find she had won $1,(00. Maitland, a Delton librarian, asked a secretary to read it "so I could believe it." City approves economic board The Hastings City Council voted to set up a joint economic development committee with the county and the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce. Monday, the council approved the proposed committee, patterned after the city-council airport commission, and ap­ proved a $500 initial fund for the committee. The county commission discussed the proposal at its meeting, Tuesday, but took no action. The proposal would set up a five member board to work toward economic development in the county, with two members coming from the city council, two from the county commission and one from the chamber of commence. The city and county would split . the cost of any funds required by the board. The two government bodies have been working on an informal basis with the chamber of commerce since January toward promoting economic growth in tne county. CORRECTION- “I wasn’t really excited until I drove to the Dairy Queen to claim my prize," she said. Odds of winning the $1,000 prize is one in 1.2 million. Carri Dunn and nnd Paula Atkinson, of Hastings, beat odds of one in 2.4 million when they picked up a $10,000 check last week at the Hastings Dairy Queen where they also had received a winning ticket. Both are juniors at Hastings High School. There are only five-$10,00U top prizes being offered in the "Million Dollar Treat Game" which is being promoted at more than 3,400 Dairy Queen businesses. • ‘To date, one $10,000 winner lias been from New York and another from Ixiuisiana, and one right here in Hastings," said a delighted Bob Grogen who owns the 1120 W. Green St. Dairy Queen with his wife, Helen. In the meantime, Carri and Paula are still basking in the glow of splitting $10,000. The teens, friends since kindergarten, say they've never had- anything as exciting happen to them.

Actually, it was Carri's younger sister, Sandy, who discovered the winning tickets. "Paula and I had been to the Dairy Queen in my car and we had scratched me tickets to see if we had any instant (product) win­ ners," said Carri. “Then I dropped Paula-off at her house. The tickets were still in my car and of course by then they had got mixed up. My sister later found them and matched up the two winning halves. "When Sandy said these two tickets are a $10,000 winner, nobody in the family could believe it," said Carri. “Even after we had it verified, it didn't hit me until my mother said, ‘Meet my rich daughter.'" "I didn't even stop to think that one of the tickets might have been Paula’s until my mother brought it to my attention," Carri said. Rather than decide which game ticket belonged to whom, Carri said she wanted to split the prize. Paula said, "I was at a friend's when my sister called me and told me 1 had won. I couldn't believe it. Nothing like this has ever happened. "It seems weird that of the five (chances) in the United States, one could end up in Hastings,” she laughs. Carri, the daughter of Kathy and Joseph Dunn of 509 E. Charles, says she'll probably put half of her winnings towards a college fund and keep the other half for something special. "I’ll probably spend a little on something foolish." Paula, the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. James Atkinson of 1955 N. Broadway, is undecided on how she’ll spend her share, but she’s contemplating several ideas, including a suprise gift for someone. “I’ll probably put most of the rest of it in a college fund. It would be nice to take a vacation, but if we do that, it will be a little later," she said. The Dairy Queen game program will continue through September 30 or until all tickets are distributed. There are instant-win product and cashes prizes in the “Million Dollar Treat Game," plus matching cash prizes of two more $10,000 prizes and prizes of $1,000, $100, $20, and $10 prizes. The Grogan's have owned the Hastings Dairy Queen store since July of 1976. PUBLIC OPINION by Ken Reibel This Week’s Question: Professional and college football teams kicked off their seasons this weekend and were featured on radio and television for two days and again Monday night.

"I don't think there's loo much football, there's too much tennis, I know that,” says Bill Woodruff, longtime Hastings resident. "That's for sure. All I can see is that darn tennis game, and I don’t enjoy that at all. I can’t keep track of it. I mean, I know it, but 1 can't keep track of the way it's going. There's been two guys that have been on for about a week now.” Victor Warner, of Hastings, says there's plenty of football for him. "I don't watch football really loo much, but it’s on loo much. They don't put other programs on.” "There probably isn't too much for the guys that really love football,” says Earl Tate, but he adds that he wouldn't be too disappointed without Monday night football. -I wouldn't miss it enough to that extent,” he says. "I liked football a lot more when I was 20." says Tate, "but we didn't have television then." Football on television doesn't bother Mrs. Louis Weirenga loo much "I don't watch it, but the men do. They enjoy it, so I read while they're watching it." The Hastings woman says some of her friends are tired of too much football on TV. "I’m not a football fan at all," says Dale Clark, of Hastings, "so I would say there is too much. "I have no use for the sport at all...! really don't care to watch any spor* at all. Big events 1’11 watch; I watched Conners the other night," says Clark. “I don’t think there's too much," says Lynn Shriver, who recently moved to Hastings. “I think it's about right, I wouldn't Earl Tate want much more." She says she enjoys kicking back on a Sunday afternoon and watching football. Her favorite teams are the Miami Dolphins and the Vikings. Elder Follick says "I think that there’s not enough coverage of college football." He says that there is more coverage of college football in California, where he comes from, and out east. "Instead of concentrating on a possible player's strike, they' should be covering college football.” Elder Morgan feels that college football shruld be belter covered. “It (football) is one of the nation’s greatest pasttimes along with baseball. People love to turn on the TV and watch a good football game.” �The Hastings Bunner.

If you shouted in anger at one of your friends And you cannot resolve to start making amends, Just remember the person who waited until The opponent in question became very ill. Now the burden of guilt is his permanent fate; For by putting it off, he was one day too late. So according to faith, let’s admit we are prone To neglect any duty that we can postpone; And religiously vow without further delay Not to wait for tomorrow, but do it today! — Gloria Nowak Vada M.

Four Celebration Community Worship Service to generations of Brodbecks walked together. buy additional picnic tables for the Herald Richard does not know if any other of the Classic Memorial Park pavilion. 26,000 people who walked the bridge on Labor Lake Odessa News Day were four-generation families. This was the 25 th anniversary of the bridge dedication. Richard was accompanied by his daughter and her husband. Elizabeth and Charles Bursley. his granddaughter and her husband. Diane and Don Griffin and their seven-week old daughter. Joline (who was pushed in a stroller and might have been the youngest person on the walk). Another granddaughter. Roxanne Bursley, a grand­ son-in-law. Nelson Frizzell and greatgranddaughters. Sara, four years old. ajid Elizabeth, one year old. and a friend, Bruce Hokanson, also accompanied Richard. Mr. and Mrs. Brodbeck left Woodland Sunday before the bridge walk and did not return until Saturday. While they were away, they visited friends in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and Wisconsin, including the former pastor of Zion Lutheran Church. Rev. Randal Metz of Wapum. They also visited Dale King, formerly of Woodland, in the Upper Peninsula. They went to Sault Ste. Marie and rode through the locks. Garold and Mercedelh McMillen returned Monday evening from a short trip to Bacus, Minn., where they picked up a trailer. They spent Sunday night in Grayling, with Rex and Marion McMillen. Mrs. McMillen said that the lakeshare drives through the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and Wisconsin were very enjoyable and that color is starting to show in occasional trees that far north. For the last six years we lived in Georgia, we had young neighbors from Minneapolis, Minnesota next door to us. When any of their friends or family went through Atlanta on their way to Florida, they always stopped and spent a few days. Our neighbors referred to them as "snow birds”. The first snow­ birds of this year to leave Woodland have alreacK- gone. Wilbur and Olga Baker left last* weekend because they are going on a Carribean cruise before going to their winter . home at Groveland. Fla. A great number of antiques and collec­ tibles we search for today were given as free premiums. In the late 1800s and early 1900s. the American manufacturer rewarded his customers with small gifts as inducements to buy specific brands of baking powder. piclJes, jellies, and mustard that was packaged in patten: glass creamers, goblets, and sugar dishes. Trading stamps have been with us a long time, with some of them dating back to 1914, or earlier. There were octagon soap coupons which were redeemable until well into the 1940s. as well as other gifts, such as bread trays given by local flour companies for buying 25 pounds of their specific brands Various general store owners ran their own specials — a small gift of china or glass for buying a certain item during a sale; carnival glass punch bowls and water sets were given as rewards for paying a debt in full at country stores. Farmers could onlypay their bills once a year when their crops were harvested. There was the Larkin plan, where one could buy a specific amount of soap products and receive free gifts, sometimes expensive items such as oak desks and china cabinets. The Pinkerton Tobacco Company of Zanesville. Ohio distributed catalogs around the turn of this century, offering free gifts for buying their “Buckshoe’’ and “Tiger Stripe” chewing tobacco. Although they offered a few luxury items such as watches and gold chains, the majority of premiums were household related and essential to everyday living. With a lotof tobacco users in a family, one could furnish a home with beds, table and chairs, woodburning cook stoves, and hand-cranked washing machines. These could all be obtained with tobacco ’ trademarks”. Also offered were 50 fl. Irish linen fishing line for 10 trademarks, or a Kalamazoo horse-drawn buggy that required 8,750 marks, or $87.50. The number of trademarks required for specific items may sound astronomical, but it must be remembered this was a time when chewing tobacco was much more com­ monplace than smoking cigarettes. The majority of men and women used chewing tobacco regularly, as did the older children in the family, so it wasn't difficult to save hundreds of trademarks in a short time. The Pinkerton Tobacco catalog also of­ fered round and square oak dining tables for 3,150 marks, or $31.50. oak ladies' writing desks for 1,400 marks, or $14.00; a Morris chair or an oak parlor stand for 520 makrs, or $5.20. A 100-piece set of china dinnerware required 1.250 marks, or $12.50; a nickel plated over brass oil lamp, complete with burner, chimney, and large glass shade. 300 marks, or $3.00; a 14-piece set of blue and white graniteware utensils for 425 marks, or $4.25; wicker rocke-s for 500 marks or $5.00; an eight-day calendar clock for 600 marks, or $6.00; a mandolin for 750 trademarks, or $7.50; a .38 caliber nickel-plated Hopkins and Allen revolver for 440 marks, or S4.4O An elaborate oak commode with ser­ pentine front, towel bar. and large beveled mirror required 1.625 marks, or $16.25, as was a very ornate oak sideboard or secretary bookcase. It was explained in the premium catalog that if the customer didn’t have sufficient trademarks for the desired item, they would accept the difference in cash or stamps on a one cent for each mark basis. Remember folks — these were times when $25.00 had the buying power of $200 today! Many of the small glass, china, stoneware, and graniteware items we collect today were obtained free by ladies going around their neighborhoods door-to-door “taking dish orders". In return for selling a certain amount of pieces, she was given sets of china, glassware or other items. Without radio and television media for advertising, companies used salesmen or "drummers" to hawk their wares, and as I explained in an earlier column, used exact miniature replicas of everything from wooden wares to black cast iron cook stoves, known as the very desirable collectibles. “Salesman Samples”. These miniature samples cost more today than the original item they were used to represent in the early 1900s. We should be grateful to the trademark and coupon users who acquired items that we now avidly search for to furnish our own homes, or use to buy and sell for a livelihood in the antique and collectible field. Drunks, driving, and death by Mark G. Stelnfort CHIEF OF POLICE Most people don’t consider drunk driving a threat until one of their loved ones is either killed or maimed because of an accident caused by a drunk driver. The drinking driver, be it man or woman, i:» a threat to you, your family and friends, and to the community in which you live. They are more hazardous than a gunman shooting everybody in sight. Nationwide, problem drinkers account for nearly a million collisions In traffic per year. What is more tragic, they are involved in the deaths of as many as 26.000 men, women and children; in the injury of a half a million more, and in economic lasses exceeding $6 billion. One of this department’s objectives, and the objective of other law enforcement departments, is to get the drunks off the roads. We can attain this objective, but it isn't easy. Traffic accidents involving alcohol are not only the number one problem today in size, but it is also one of the most difficult and complex. One reasons the drinking-driving problem is difficult to control is because it seems to be rooted in our culture. Eight out of every ten males over 21 in this country, and two out of every three females, consume alcoholic beverages. The estimated number of motor vehicle operators who drink is 88.6 million. This is three-lourths of the driving populatoin. The percentage of drinking teenagers, at age 17, is roughly the same as tliat of adults, showing that there is not much change anticipated. Not all of the millions of drivers that consume alcoholic beverages are highway menaces. Most are not. But the public s attitude toward the drinking driver is tolerant, and this altitude is reflected in legislation, administrative policy, jury verdicts and in other ways which make it difficult to get drunks off the highways and keep them off. You may think that the above figures don’t particularly pertain to Hastings. Wake up. they do. Most, if not all serious accidents we have here are directly connected to the drinking driver. If you drink, and have a tendency to drive, and you’re caught, you’ll not only spend the night in jail, but it may cost you up to a thousand dollars or more, and you might lose your driver’s license. In my opinion this is a better price for you to pay then the price of your life or the life of an innocent man, women, or child.

Center Rd., Hastings says that when his daughter gave him some pumpkin seeds last spring, she told him they would end up big. She wasn’t kidding. Barbara Cranson, district director of the Federal Crop Insurance Corp., urges far­ mers to inquire about "all risk" crop in­ surance protection sold by local insurance agents. Cranson stated that farmers are now concerning themselves with the planting of fall wheat. She says that "anxieties may develop" when recalling the poor yields of last year's wheat crop due to winterkill and excess moisture. Cranson says that "all risk" insurance, backed by the U.S.D.A.. is one of those factors that must be explored with a local agent, because of the complex nature of farming.

Thursday, September 16, 1982 — Page 6 Campaign kicks off in Hastings Monsma to focus on rural areas in the 5th District race by Greg Johnson State Sen. Stephen Monsma, a Democrat challenging for the 5th District congressional seat, says people in rural areas like Hastings, will see a lot of him during the climax of the campaign. “1 feel the outlying areas of the district will be critical forme in this race," Monsma said during a press conference at Richie’s Koffee house, 146 W. State, Friday. Monsma, who is challenging Republican U.S. Rep Harold S. Sawyer, called the press conference to kickoff his campaign. Monsma thinks he can carry the Grand Rapids area in the election, but admits he is worried about the rural areas of the district His strategy, he said, is to win in Grand Rapids and come close in the rural areas. ‘Republicans traditionally do very well in this area,” he said. ”1 hope to change that and get aoout 45 percent of the vote. That should do it" To get the rural vote, Monsma said he will Teske benefit dance tickets now on sale spend a lot of campaign time at farm auc­ tions and community events in northern Barry and northwestern Allegan County. Until a reapportionment plan split Barry earlier this year, all but two townships in the county were in the 3rd congressional district represented by Democrat Howard Wolpe. As it stands now, the northern part of Barry County is in the 5th District, while the southern half is in the 3rd District. Also in the news conference, Monsma said that pointing out the voting record and campaign spending of Sawyer would be part of his strategy. Monsma said he proposed in a Aug. 26 letter that both he and Sawyer voluntarily limit their spending tu $200,000 in the cam­ paign, but Sawyer has not replied. Sawyer has said he will be spending $300,000 on his fall campaign, Monsma claimed. John Westman, a spokesman for Sawyer, said that Sawyer questioned Monsma's sincerity on the spending limit. Westman said the first time their office heard about the proposed limit was from a radio station. “Don’t you think he would have ap­ proached Mr. Sawyer first, if he was really serious about it?." Westman asked, “Mr. Sawyer has a job in Washington five days a week. It is hard to find time to answer every challenge in a campaign." Monsma also said that Sawyer’s voting record is inconsistent on nousing and Medicare funding. Monsma charged that Sawyer states in a campaign brochure that he voted to restore Medicare funding, and supported a bill to help middle income families buy a home. “When it really counted, he did just the opposite on both issues," Monsma said. Westman called Monsma's charges “political moves". “Mr. Sawyer has an excellent voting percentage and we hope the people of the district will realize they have a hard worker in Washington doing his job." Westman said the rural areas of northern Barry County are viewed as very important to Sawyer's campaign. “We have been in the area four or five times and will continue to spend time there," he said. “Comps for Kids” is group’s goal Tickets are now on sale for the Oct, 2 benefit dance, to be held in the Community Building, for the survivors of Dave Teske. Teske. 37, died in Pennock Hospital Sept. 9 of brain cancer. Funds from the dance will help pay medical costs incurred by the Hastings man’s long hospitalization. Tickets are available at WBCH radio station, and from most Flex Fab and Bradford White employees. Cost is $5 a couple, or $3 single. Starlight Four, a Kalamazoo band, will be on hand to perform country and western and music from the 60s. In addition, six door prizes will be given away. The event will be emceed by Dave McIntyre of WBCH. The dance is being organized by friends of Teske and his wife, Sue. Sue Teske is an employee of Flex Fab. Janet Aspinall, one of the event’s organizers, says response to the benefit dance has been “great”, and that several area merchants and manufacturing com­ panies have donated goods for raffles and door prizes. One company that has helped out tremendously, says Aspinall, is the Bradford-White company of Middleville, Dave Teske's former employer. A group of Hastings teachers, students and citizens met Wednesday night to discuss ways of raising $13,500 to purchase a com­ puter system for Hastings High School. The group hopes to use matching funds, along with a special educational discount, to raise a total of $40,000 for eight Apple II microcomputers, and accessories. The group, which calls itself "Computers for Kids”, aims to raise funds from business and industry, young people, teachers and the general public to bring Hastings schools into the computer age. At Wednesday night’s meeting, members discussed ideas for fundraising, and set a goal of four-weeks in which to raise the County church women will meet Friday Church Women United of Barry County will meet Friday, September 17 at the First United Methodist Church in Middleville. The morning session will begin at 10 with Mrs. Virginia Stevens, chairman, officiating. The Rev. Arthur Jackson will give devotions. Mrs. Myron Williams of First United Methodist Church in Hastings will direct a forum on nuclear power and the death penalty. At noon, a sacrificial lunch will be served by the United Methodist Women of Mid­ dleville. The afternoon program will be given by David Brower, who has been the CROPChurch World Service Director for Michigan since 1970. Brower of Lansing is a Mennonite and former Church World Service Represen­ tative in Pakistan for three years. He was involved in CWS program planning in East Pakistan, West Pakistan and India, and was the administrator for community •development programs related to nutrition, economic development, relief following natural disasters and self-help through foodfor-work projects funded by CWS and the indigenous church service agencies. Bower came to Michigan from Elkhart, Indiana, where he served as the Office Manager at the CROP-CWS national office for three years. Teacher recall on board agenda Sept 20 A recommendation for the recall of three teachers from layoff will be heard at the Sept. 20 meeting of the Hastings Board of Education. The three are Roland Furrow, Adult Education, Claraetta Phillips, Southeastern Elementary fifth and sixth grade, and Laura Sharpe. Pleasantview kindergarten and sixth grade. Also on the agenda is a recommendation by Richard Guenther, school superintendent, that the board approves a "letter of agreement" with Food Service employees to extend their 1981-82 contracts through 198283. In addition, the board will hear its finance committee's early retirement incentive proposal, which requires board approval for implementation. Oral histories studied by Historical Society Gathering oral histories of the county will be discussed at Thursday’s meeting of the Barn- County Historical Society. Cranston Wilcox will speak at 7.30 p.m. in the Probate Court room in the Courts and Health Building. 208 W. Court St., Hastings. Wilcox, a Hastings native, has been collecting oral histories in the Coldwater area, where he now lives. Barbara Furrow, society president, said that she will also be appointing some special project committees at the meeting. The public is invited to attend. Ulike most of his peers, Jeff Borton, a 10th grader at Hastings High School, is no stranger at Hastings High School, is no stranger to computers. "Computer for Kids" hopes to acquaint more young people with the machines. money and make their first computer pur­ chase. The Apple educational package consists of six seperatesystems, each with its own price lag. Should the fund raising efforts fall short ot the $13,500 goal, systems can be dropped until such a time as money can be raised to purchase them, according to George Hubka, who conducted Wednesday night's meeting. Hubka added that Hastings has until as late as June 1 to make that purchase, and still be eligible for the matching funds. Among those present Wednesday night in the High School band room was school board member Larry Haywood, who commented “I feel better about raising money for computers than money for sports, because we’re buying something tangible here that will last for years." Most of those present felt that the effort to bring computers to the schools was right on time, if not a little bit late. "We’re standi ng on the brink of the biggest technological revolution in history, bigger than the automobile even." said Bernie Killinger. an employee of Michigan Magnetics. “We’re very timely in what we’re doing". Killinger, along with Haywood, voluteered his efforts to help elicit support from private citizens for the program. Delton man named to architects consultant panel on education Dr. Donald C. Weaver of Delton, director of the center for community leadership training at Western Michigan University, has been appointed to a select consultant group by the American Institute of Ar­ chitects (AIA) to develop a public education program strategy. Weaver, formerly of Hastings, is vice president of the Delton-Kellogg Board of Education and has served on the Barry County Tax Allocation Board. He is among 12 specialists from business, government, media, and education throughout the United States to serve on the AIA's consultant panel. “The AIA believes that a better informed public will demand that architects use their fullest potential in the decision-making process that determines the form of physical surroundings. In order to accomplish this major educational effort, an orderly program development process must be established,” according to Alan Sandler, director of public education for the AIA. The first meeting of the AIA consultants was held in New York City last week. Because of Weaver's experience as a public school administrator, scltool board member, and consultant to the Charles Stewart Molt Foundation, he represents the fields of public education and private philanthropy on the consultant panel. Weaver started his career as an elementary teacher in Doster. A 1936 graduate of Hastings High, he was named the school’s Outstanding Alumnus of 1956. Weaver and his wife, Helen, reside at 7438 Crooked Lake Dr. They have three sons. Tony Hein recovering from illness A. J.

Bender endorsed by township group Robert Bender, Republican candidate for state representative in the new 88th District, has received the endorsement of the Michigan Townships Association. Bender’s opponent, Democrat Robert Edwards, was previously employed as legislative director of the association. David Machtel, the present director of legislative affairs for the MTA, said that the organization's Political Action Committee apparently liked Bender for his county in­ volvement and reports about Bender from other organizations, such as Michigan Farm Bureau, which has also endorsed Bender. Robert Lillie, supervisor of the Pittsfield Township, who is chairman of the MTA-PAC, was not available for comment over why Bender was endorsed over Edwards.

The reconstructed nineteenth century rural village at the park lends itself to demonstrations that will range from homespun pioneer tasks in the kitchen to rugged outdoor survival skills of the fur trading era. Members of the Michigan Muzzle Loaders Association will set up a tent camp on the banks of the Thornapple River where they will demonstrate cooking over an open fire, rifle making, and beadwork.

Other demonstrations highlighting home skills of early settlers will include soap­ making, butter making, cider pressing, sausage stuffing, quilting, candlemaking, and weaving. Frontier trades and farm chores of a century ago will be depicted with exhibitions of blacksmithing, carpentry, ropemaking, wood sawing and buzzing, corn shelling and grinding and milk separating. Some of these tasks will be performed by hand and with the aid of gasoline engines. A beekeeper will show how honey is removed from an actual hive, and an "oldtimer" will be brewing "moonshine” in r. still on a hill. Entertainment with an old-fashioned flair will be personified with dulcimer playing and a square dance demonstration by the Ringo Swingos of Hastings. An old-time photographer will set-up shop with a war­ drobe of old-fashioned costumes.

Cable company asks for city franchise Charter Telecommunications, Inc., a cable television company which was blocked twice from running its lines through the city, has returned to city council seeking a franchise. The company originally requested per­ mission to run its lines through the city to reach its service areas in Rutland and Hastings townships, where it has already been given a franchise. On two different votes, the easement was approved by Tour council members, but the city charter required five votes for passage. Chuck Leonard of Charter Telecom­ munications returned to the council, Mon­ day. seeking a franchise to offer the com­ pany's full services tocity residents. Earlier, the council had questioned what benefits the city would receive for allowing the company to save an estimated $30,000 in construction costs. Leonard's franchise proposal offers the city three percent oi receipts plus free hookup to public buildings The 15 year agreement was patterned on the agreement signed by several townships and villages in the county. The city is presently being serviced by Triad Cable TV Co., but the city charter prevents any company being granted an exclusive franchise. Leonard said he could be operational in the city within a year. Gordon Bennett (Second Ward) questioned Leonard on the possibility of some por­ nographic material being shown. Leonard said a lockbox would be available for the televisions which would lockout specific channels.

David Storms HASTINGS 19...LAKEWOOD 0 Y-Youth Council Director Mistakes by the punt team and a sting}* Hastings Saxon defense set the Lakewood Vikings on the losing side of a 19-0 season opener Friday Hastings allowed the Vikings just 14 net yards and took a 13-6-1 game edge in the traditional Barry County rivalry. A large crowd witnessed a flag display by the referees and several Vikings coming up lame with leg cramps. The Vikings were still in the game on the scoreboard (6-0) until the final quarter when Hastings pushed across a pair of touch­ downs, one on a two yard run by Larry Hoffman, and another on an 11 yard pass from Steve Conner to Mike Cole. Mistakes by the Lakewood punting unit led to good Saxon field position before both of those scores. Earlier in the game Bruce Martin elec­ trified the visiting Saxon crowd with a 65 yard punt return for a touchdown. Martin was the leading rusher rolling up 102 yards, and Louis Burroughs added 52 yards on the ground for the Saxons. FOWLER 18...MAPLE VALLEY...0 The host Fowler Eagles held the Maple Valley Lions to just 59 total yards, and took advantage of three key Lion errors to post an 18-0 non-league win Friday. The Lions managed just three first downs in the game gathering 40 yards rushing and 19 passing. The Eagles on the other hand, rolled up 204 yards rushing and 47 via the prss for a total of 251 yards. The three Eagle scores, one in each of the first three periods, took ad­ vantage of Lion miscues. Glen Feldpausch scored all three touch­ downs for Fowler, and Ed Koenigsknecht led them in rushing with 70 yards. Lion senior quarterback Randy Joostberns had a bad night hitting just 3 of 11 passes for 19 yards. MIDDLEVILLE 36...DELTON 14 First half touchdown drives of 55 yards. 50 yards and 65 yards by the ThornappleKellogg Trojans of Middleville proved to be too much too soon for a young squad of Delton-Kellogg Panthers Friday. The host Trojans rolled up 351 total yards in driving past the Panthers 36-14. At halfme the score was 30-6. Senior quarterback Jim Schipper led the Trojans with 57 yards rushing and an ; 1 for 19, 127 yard night passing the ball. Trojan running backs Scott Kaminski, Tom Berry and Dave VanSickle all rushed fur more than 40 yards to aid the Middleville attack. Delton quarterback Steve Tuin, a sophomore, hit on 7 of 18 passes for 128 yards and a touchdown. Rusty Carroll led the Panthers in rushing with 61 yards. Middleville scored twice in the first quarter and never looked back. Kelly Mogg (40) stops to shoot os a trio of Vikings move in on defense. by Greg Johnson The Hastings Saxons girls basketball team finished on the upswing in a see-saw battle with the Lakewood Vikings Tuesday. The Saxons took a one point lead at the 1:20 mark and scrambled to a 43-38 win in the classic Barry County matchup. "We had our chances to win it,” Lakewood coach Ron Coppess said. "They took it to the hole when they had to. Mogg (Kelly) made the difference, she takes the ball to the basket with authority.” The Vikings, playing without the full services of 5 ft. 11 inch center Michelle Behrenwald, battled the pressing Saxons the entire game Hastings held a one point lead, 6-5 at the end of the first quarter, and led by three at the end of the first half, 23-20. The third quarter was a repeat of the low scoring first quarter and the Saxons held a 29-25 lead going into the final stanza. The Vikings pulled within in one point at the 1:20 mark but a Mogg layup, a Karen Williams steal, and a layup by Paula Atkinson gave the Saxons the edge they needed. The Saxons were whistled for 26 personals in the foul-filled game. Lakewood went to the line 32 limes, hitting 20, and Coppess felt they should have shot more foul shots. "It was a rough game,” he said. "We didn't shoot the ball enough period. We didn’t shoot enough at the line, and we didn't take our shots from the field." Saxon coach Pat Purgiel praised Teresa Maurer, Karen Williams and Lori Teunessen for excellent defense in the press. “Actually the entire team worked well. We showed a lot of depth, " he said. Mogg led Saxon scores and rebounders with a 18 point, 13 carom performance. Lakewood's Dee Westendorp was top for her team with 14 points and a whopping 18 rebounds. Williams added 9 points and Maurer 8 to the Saxon cause, while Gina Thorp and Liz Huyck each tossed in 7 for Lakewood. Kristi Seese, last year’s leading Viking scorer, was held to just 6 points. Atkinson helped Mogg on the boards for the Saxons grabbing 8. The Saxons are 2-6 and entertain Jackson Northwest tonight (Thursday) to open play in the Twin Valley. The Vikings are on a two game skid with a 1-2 mark. They travel to Ionia tonight for a non-league contesi. Lakewood won the junior varsity game 3421. IN ACTION LAST WEEK A total of 26 steals, 19 in the second half, helped the Saxons open their basketball season with a 56-44 win over Delton-Kellogg Thursday, Sept. 9. The Saxons opened up from a two point lead at the half by outscoring Delton 13-8 in the third quarter, and 19-14 in the final quarter. Kelly Mogg led the Saxons with 25 points and 13 rebounds, and Karen Williams collected 11. The Saxon guards Lori Teunessen, Laura Oom, W illiams. Tammy Connor and Colleen Corrigan received credit from Saxon coach Pat Purgiel for their pilfering de'ense. Hastings hit 30 percent of their shots in the game, had 30 team rebounds and committed 43 turnovers.

Outdoor Report; While most people associated mushroom hunting with spring, the Department of Natural Resources says fall is also a time of plenty for mushroom fanciers. Fall rains following a dry and late summer are a combination of conditions that make mushrooms pop from the soil, the DNR says. There is a greater variety of species that grow in the fall, but only a few are edible. Some, like the fly aminita are poisonous and deadly. The only safe way to gather a har­ vest is to first learn to identify the different kinds of mushrooms. Several books are available. You need not pick and eat to enjoy fall mushrooms, the DNR claims. Many are colorful with reds and yellows the most common colors. Others, like the giant puff­ ball. are interesting because of their odd shapes. If the grasses in Barry County could talk.they would probably have accents. The grasses found in old fields and meadows are mostly European in origin. They were introduced to America when the first settlers brought their animals from Europe to help settle this country. The hay they brought along a- feed contained many seeds, the DNR says. European grasses, like quack grass, brome grass and loxtail, are better com­ petitors for sunlight. Therefore the native grasses were soon pushed out of their former habitats in favor of the European grasses. Native grasses, like big and little blue stem, Indian grass and bunch grass, can still be found in isolated meadows and praries. In the late summer these native grasses change colors much like the tree leaves. The/show off a mixture of reds, purples and browns. These isolated splotches of color are a clue to what Michigan may have looked like before the grasses with the accents arrived. GENERAL OUTDOOR CONDITIONS: Hunting interests are gaining momentum and fall fish runs are moving into gear slowly. Temperatures were in the 80’s and humidity high over the week-end. HUNTING: The following legal targets September 15 Squirrel — Season opens tomorrow, September 15 at sunrise. Squirrel numbers appear to be good to average. Opener will not be lacking in targets but heavy vegetation will hinder success. Woodcock: Population is below average due to the severe winter weather last April which greatly decreased the survival of the adult woodcock preparing to nest. Ruffed Grouse: Population about average as the early spring snow storm had less of an effect due to differing food habits and year long residency status. CJ. Not much. Look at what you have, a Michigan team from the Alsoran-Bluebonnet bowl, and a Notre Dame team that had a 4-5 record last year. BOSS Yes, but what about the tradition of the two schools and the fact'that it is the first night game at Notre Dame ever? CJ. Louis Burroughs (4) of Hastings gets ready to cut back and get help from a block by Bruce Martin (35) on Lakewood's Dove Joppie (20). "WTe’re going to go at it, and see if were tougher,” Thornapple-Kellogg coach Ray Page says about Friday’s OK-Blue matchup with Hudsonville. "This is the week we find out how go^d we are.” The Trojans have battled Hudsonville in a fierce rivalry for years to see who is the top team in the Blue, and both sides admit there is no love lost between the two towns, schools and athletic programs. The game, at the Eagles field, pits a pair of teams that won their opening non-league games. Hudsonville was a 6-u winner over Grand Rapids Christian and Middleville topped the Delton-Kellogg Panthers 36-14. "I’m a little worried about our defense." Page said. "Our offense looked good, but you have to be able to stop the other team to get the ball." ..IN OTHER BARRY COUNTY GAMES: Delton, coming off a big loss to Middleville will find the going no easier u hen they visit Parchment Friday. The Panthers displayed some offensive power, but the defense will have to stop a Parchment that lost to Otsego Friday. "Parchment is always a pretty good football team," Panther coach Fred Pessell said. “We are going to have to keep working and see what we can come up with.” HASTINGS starts league play in their first home game of the season Friday. They will take on budget troubled Jackson Northwest. The Mounties were one point losers to Mason Friday, while the Saxons handed Lakewood a 19-0 shutout. Saxon coach Jeff Simpson likes the idea his team is playing at home, but he wants his offense to cut down on mistakes. "The defense is looking pretty* good, but we need to gel more consistency out of lhe of­ fense." he said. "This is league play now, and in this league you don't have time to rest. Good teams keep coming at you." LAKEWOOD, losers to the Saxons Friday, head out on Lhe road to visit Tri-River op­ ponent Sparta this week. The offense that ran into a stingy Hastings defense will be looking to score their first points of the season. You can bet the Coach Tim Wood had die punt team working hard this week. Three special team mistakes set up scores for Hastings. Sparta was a loser to Rockford Friday. MAPLE VALLEY, entertains and old friend from tneir old league this week when Lakeview Montcalm comes to Nashville. Lakeview, champions of the TCAA last year, the Lions old league, are favorites to fight for the title again this season. The Lions, now members of the SMAA, will be looking to score their first points of the year after being shutout by Fowler. Lion mentor Dan Watson said work this week has been on the offensive line. “We have to get off lhe ball better," he said. "Lakeview is always tough, and if we make mistakes they will take advantage of them.” Compu-Jock picked the winner correctly in two of the three Barry County football games Friday, an early .666 percentage, a long way from the .800 he says he will reach by season's end. But, the fiesty forecaster is not flustered. He claims he is just getting warmed up. The BOSS thinks C.J. is overheated and .666 will probably be his top mark of the season. As usual, we listened in on the weekly confrontation, er., conference, of the BOSS and C.J. BOSS Say C.J. what happened with your pick at Fowler Friday. You know that .666 to .800 is a long climb, don’t you? So the television people brought in a few lights and cameras, the action on the field is what counts. BOSS Don’t you think lhe powerful Wolverines and the Fighting Irish will put on a good show? C.J. Only if Bo decides that Anthony Carter can catch more than one pass, and Gerry Faust, the holy roller from Moeller, gets a little help from someone up above. BOSS Let me get this right. You are saying the only way the Irish will win is through divine in­ tervention. CJ. | No, I'm talking about E.T. BOSS What does that ugly little movie critter have to do with it? CJ. E.T. is a Notre Dame fan and has a real knack for setting up an offense. BOSS You must need a recharge, expecting us to believe that E.T. is going to help the Notre Dame offense. I’ll bet you don't even know E.T....You do have a few things in common though. You are both short and ugly. CJ. I look at it this way. All five teams were in action Friday, there just happened to be three games. I actually picked correctly on lhe outcome for four of the five county teams. That means I am at .800 now. Scoff all you wish. We all will see on Satur­ day. BOSS What will you think of next C.J. I can’t believe you expect us to think you are serious. What are you going to do, watch the game from E.T.’s space ship? BOSS CJ. Wrong, graph brain, we are counting games here. Are you going to try and get two picks out of each of your lucky winners all season long? No, we will probably sit on the Goodyear Blimp. CJ. CJ. I resent that. Is this going to be lhe tone of our little talk today? BOSS OK. OK. I’ll let you off the hook, but what do you think of the "night game" in South Bend this weekend. Compu-Jock’s picks...

Robert Fraser of the Michigan Depart­ ment of Labor's Office of Industrial Training explained the economic incentive programs to Hastings chamber members and guests Tuesday at a luncheon meeting at the Elks. Fraser said his office is available by request to help communities that are in­ terested in creating more jobs in their areas . "We won't just come in and tell you what do do., you have to ask us to come first," he said. "If you realize you need help, we give you our abilities," said Fraser. The state training program decides which requests it can fill based on job loss in the area requesting help, he said. "We look at which communities need help the most.” At the conclusion of the meeting, representatives of the city, county and chamber informally indicated that they wanted to meet again with Fraser, possibly as soon as next month, to find out more about how the program could benefit the local area. Fraser told the group his office “likes to look at the county as a whole...not just a city...in determining how to replace jobs. Should the office of industrial training agree to assist Barry County, if it formally requests help, Fraser said, “we would assign a team of three or four to come to do a task analysis.” The team would survey the area to determine what type of county is involved and the types of economic development that would be best here. Part of the survey would include a questionaire to secure information from industrial and recreational personnel He said his office also can provide assistance for securing grants...where they are, how to get them, and how to write the application. Funded by the Stale Legislature, the programs through the office of industrial training run the gamut from providing assistance to employee groups who want to purchase their present company to training workers for new jobs. He said the frosting on the cake of the state's industrial incentive assistance is its job training program which is available to new companies that want to move to Robert Fraser of the Michigan Dept, of Labor Office of Industrial Training was the featured speaker at Tuesday's chamber meeting. (Barner photo) Police link four area break-ins to Kalamazoo ring by Ken Reibel Police in Barry County say they have positively linked four area break-ins, in­ cluding a $12,000 heist on Crum Rd.. Aug. 30, to a breaking and entering ring recently cracked by Kalamazoo law enforcement authorities. , Kalamazoo law enforcement officials have so far arrested eight people in connection with that ring, charging them with breaking and entering of an occupied dwelling. The seven of the eight arrested, all Kalamazoo residents, are scheduled to be arraigned in Kalamazoo Circuit Court Sept. 27 on charges of breaking and entering, after waiving their preliminary exams in district court. The eighth man was arrested by Kalamazoo deputies Monday. Six of the eight are free on $1,000 personal recognizance bond, and the seventh after posting $1,000 of a $10,000 bond. Information is unavailable concerning the eighth. Judy Hughes, Barry County prosecutor, says her office is “still in the process of in­ vestigating which one (of the eight arrested) was involved in Barry County.” ' Whether we charge them in Barry County will depend on the sentencing policies of the Kalamazoo judges," says Hughes. The maximum penalty for breaking and entering of an occupied dwelling with intent to commit larceny is 10 to 15 years in prison. Kalamazoo sheriff officials began in­ vestigating the alledged ring following a Sept. 8 break-in of a Cooper Township home. Acting on a license plate number and vehicle description supplied by a witness to that break-in, deputies raided a home on the Kalamazoo's southeast side, where police say a cache of stolen articles was recovered. Official*; from both the Barry County Sheriff Dept, and the Michigan State Police say they have matched goods recovered by Kalamazoo police to that stolen during three area break-ins in August. They are: — An August 30 break-in on Crum Rd., where over $12,000 in cameras, guns and jewelry were reported stolen. Kalamazoo police have reportedly recovered all of the guns, and some of the cameras taken from that home. — An August 13 break-in on Otis Lake Rd., where $3,200 worth of goods were reported stolen, including guns, ammo, cameras, tools, silverware and packaged meat from the freezer. Continued on page 2 The Adrounie House, which has been placed on the State Historical Register. Adrounie house placed on state historical register The Adrounie House at 126 S. Broadway, originally constructed by George W Lowry, has been placed on the State Register of Historic Sites, the Michigan Historical Commission announced this week. Esther Walton, who submitted an ap­ plication to the commission to have the house placed on the register, said construction on the house was probably started in 1892 and finished enough to live in by 1893-94. She said it also appears the house had some finishing touches which were completed in 1895 or 1896. ‘Architecturally.” Walton said, "the house is a Queen Anne-Eastlake Style with asymmetrical composition combining a variety of form, textures and materials. The house has a lower, tall chimney, sedate porch (for its style), heavy beams and a decorative bargeboard over the front gable roof. There is a carriage porch on the north side of the house.” Michigan and to established companies that want to expand or change their technology "If a company needs left-handed workers to dig ditches, we teach workers how to dig ditches left-handed,” Fraser said to illustrate the services of the training program. He said one project involved helping a company make a dramatic technological change by training welding steei fitters to be electronic assemblers. “We find out what kind of skills a company needs and the type of knowledge workers need to do the job...what liand tools are needed...do they have to know metrics, etc. Then we teach the job — nothing eise. Fraser said his office has developed many The house was built with a doctor’s office on the side, which has now been converted to a residential apartment. Dr. Lowry was a physician and surgeon who arrived in Barry County in 1883 A photograph in the 1913 alias shows the house the residence of Dr. Lowry. The lot was originally purchased in 1887 from William Upjohn and wife. Dr. Lowry mortgaged the property in 1887 for $500. paid it off in 1889, mortgaged it again in 1892 for $500 and again in 1894 for $2,500. The Adrounies purchased the house in the 1920's. Walton, a former president of the Barry County Historical Society, holds a master s degree in history She is currently resear­ ching the history of the Hastings Mutual Insurance Co. in preparation for the firm s centennial celebration of its own training manuels and films and often works in conjunction with vocational and technical schools and universities. The state industrial training staff also conducts referal selection testing of prospective workers. The training program can be requested for a minimum of 10 workers or as many as 425. The average program involves about 50 workers per company, he said. There would be no charge to the city, county, chamber, or companies involved in a training program except for the cost of printing the final program document which he estimates would be between $1,000 and $1,500. With a goal to create more jobs, the state completely pays for the job training program, Fraser said. The state also absorbs the costs of renting a storefront and pur­ chasing training equipment if necessary. Many times, he said, a training program can be conducted in the company plant involved. Participants in the training program are instructed in classes comprised of about 15 persons on an eight-hour a day, five days per week basis. Upon completion of the training, Fraser says a company benefits because an em­ ployee has reached a productivity rate of 4060 percent when he or she starts. Normally, the rate is much lower with a new worker, so the training is a cost saver to the company, he said. Fraser reported that at one company, workers who had participated in the statefunded training program were at the top rate of productivity after a year on the job, an achievement which usually takes four to five years. Another cost saver to employers is a reduced turnover rate, he noted. The concept of offering job training The Hastings programs is not new. Fraser said Uk first such program involved a rural area in North Carolina 28 years ago and the idea spread through the south and now 32 states are in­ volved. Michigan has offered industrial training since 1973. assisting 160 companies and training workers for approximately 6.000 new jobs. During Tuesday's meeting in Hastings. Fraser also touched briefly on other in­ Hastings Manufacturing makes contract proposal by Robert J. Johnston The first stage of bargaining is underway at Hastings Manufacturing Co. as the company waits for a counter offer from UAW Local 138. At stake is the fate of 150 jobs in filter production which the company said it will move out of the state unless wage and fringe benefit costs can be reduced. The company presented its contract proposal to the 400 member union on Tuesday, as scheduled. "The union studied the proposal and responded that they would return with some sort of a counter proposal early next week," Dennis Witham, director of industrial relations for the firm, said. David Turnes. chief negotiator for the union, was unavailable for com­ ment. Witham would not release any details of the contract proposal Io the 54 members of the office-clerical unit and the 350 members of the production­ maintenance unit of the UAW local. He said another meeting has been' scheduled for Monday when they union is expected to present its counter offer. The union's contract does not expire until Feb. 1. but the company told the union on Aug. 23 that labor costs must be reduced to maintain the jobs in Hastings. 150 people throughout the company have been laid-off in the past one and a half years. Witham said.

Price 20c Thursday, September 23,1982 Algonquin Lake residents apply pressure Draw-down opponents want DNR involved by Elaine Gilbert Within the next few days, the en­ vironmental enforcement division of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources expects to establish a position on the issue of the plan to awer the level of Algonquin Lake this fall, according to a spokesman in the Lansing office. “There’s really no right or wrong in these cases, said Jack Bail of the DNR's en­ vironmental enforcement division. “But, the DNR wants to be involved...we're being pressuFed (by some Algonquin Lake residents) to make a decision." Problems over lake draw-down issues develop when there is a conflict between those who favor the draw down and those who claim it undermines environmental and riparian interests, he said. The conn oversial proposal to lower the lake level has divided lake residents into two different camps. The Algonquin Lake Association by a margin of eight votes, approved lowering the lake by eight and onehalf feet on November 28 as an attempt to combat a severe weed problem that some residents say has interfered with recreational enjoyment. However, there are some residents who oppose lowering the lake because of un­ desirable experiences when the lake was lowered three times in past years. Some residents say the last lowering proved costly to them because it interfered with the ground water supply, causing private wells to dry up and creating a need to have water wells drilled deeper. After the association approved this year's draw-down by a vote of 61-53, several residents have placed ads in the Reminder urging opponents towrite to Bail in Lansing. "I started Retting phone calls (from lake residents) yesterday," Bail said. "We don't want tocome in and dictate," he said. The DNR would rather become in­ volved as a neutral party, providing their knowledge and expertise in the matter, he added Bail said the ideal situation would be for the DNR to be able to offer a plan that would incorporate the maximum amount of benefits with minimum impact. He said DNR staff will be checking to see if this par Ocular lake-draw down issue comes under a state regulation tnat might require a permit and public hearing to be held. Con­ sultations with the state attorney general's office may be necessary too. The Algonquin Lake Association also is involved with a three-year chemical program to try to reduce weed growth. This past summer was the first year of the program and Warren Craft, association president, has said the' majority of the residents have felt that the chemical treatment was effective in improving swimming and boating conditions. Donald Putnam is one lake resident who opposes the lake draw-down. “I'm loyal to the association...but I'm dead set against the draw-down,” he said. The last lake draw-down cost him $140 because Putnam said it effected his water system. The draw down was more expensive to his neighbors, he said, because it dried up their well. Putnam said he has kept track of the weed kill results after the previous draw-downs and noted that after one experience it was almost impossible to water ski. fish or use power boats in parts of the lake because of increased weed growth. Cont. page 2 Car hits, kills child at school bus stop in Orangeville Township A six-year-old Orangeville Township youth was struck by a car and killed Monday after being let off a school bus in front of his home on Norris Rd. Barry County Sheriff deputies say Hollis E. Ward was killed after the boy and his sister, Tracy Ward, had left a Delton-Kellogg school bus which had dropped them off moments earlier. The cause of the mishap is still under in­ vestigation, according to a sheriff depart­ ment spokesman, and so far, no citations have been issued to the driver of the vehicle. Rodney Lee Janose, 26, Gull Rd., Richland. Janose reportedly told deputies “I saw a little girl standing in the driveway on the right hand side of the road, and all of a sudden I saw a flash of a coat sleeve or something and I hit the brakes, then hit the little boy.” The bus driver, Norine Smith, of Plainwell, told deputies she had let the two children off at their usual stop at 7735 Norris Rd.. She said she observed the two children cross the road and "walk down the drive" tu their home before driving away. Bliss negotiators “still talking” Facing a Friday deadline, negotiators for E.W Bliss Co. and UAW Local 414 are "still talking”, a company spokesman said, Thursday morning. The two sides agreed at the end of August to extend their contract to Sept. 24. The contract would have expired Aug. 31. “We re still talking", Herman Bottcher, acting industrial relations director, said. The three year contract, signed in 1980, was re-opened at the requestor the company. Bottcher and union president James Morway said earlier this month. Former Hastings businessman dies Mr. Stuart D.

Longtime waste water supervisor, Bill Ransom, to retire by Ken Rcibel Thieves steal jewelry from Charlton Park Rd. home Items of jewelry were reported stolen from two homes in the Charlton Park area Friday afternoon. Thieves entered a home on Charlton Park Rd., Friday, and stole jewelry worth “thousands of dollars", according to Det. Kenneth DeMott of the Barry County Sheriff Dept. The break-in occurred al the Moore residence, 1077 S. Charlton Park Rd., bet­ ween 8:20 a m. and 1:45 p.m. Taken were over 100 items of jewelry, including many family heirlooms, plus numerous receipts and insurance inventory lists. The break-in apparently occurred while an occupant of the home, Teresa Moore, was attending classes in Battle Creek. The Moore’s told police that they had been receiving phone calls for several weeks where the caller would hang up without speaking. Police say this is a tactic com- monly used by burglars to tell if anyone is home. The second area break-in occurring Friday afternoon was reported to the Barry County Sheriff deputies by Marl Steinbach, Morgan Rd. Deputies say thieves kicked in a door, entered the home and stole three boxes containing jewelry. Steinbach also told deputies she had been receiving "hang up" phone calls. Michigan Stale Police are investigating the theft of eight young cows from three farms owned by Willard Brodbeck of Lake Odessa. The theft was reported by Jeff Altoft of Lake Odessa. Six animals were stolen from one farm, and one from each of two other farms. State Police Sgt. Richard Zimmerman estimated the value of each animal al $700. School buses involved to two separate mishaps Two school buses were involved in two separate accidents on Barry County roads this week. The first occurred at 8:05 a.m. Monday in Prairieville Township, when a car slammed into the back of a Delton-Kellogg school bus. According to State Police of the Hastings ♦earn, the driver of the car, Charles Rector, 31, Ford Rd., Delton, was momentarily blinded by the morning sun as he was eastbound on Delton Rd., near Norris Rd..' Police say he didn’t see the bus, also east­ bound, stopped on the road in front of him, striking it in the rear. Rector sought his own treatment for minor injuries. Neither the driver of the bus, Wallace Hull of Floria Rd., nor his 65 passengers were hurt. Two Freeport residents were taken to Pennock Hospital Tuesday afternoon after their car was struck by a Lakewood school bus on Woodland Rd. Barry County Sheriff deputies say Gregg Elliot, 16.

Jury finds county negligent in mishap, awards local man $315 A circuit court jury Tuesday awarded a Hastings man $315,000 for loss and damages resulting from an Oct. 23. 1978 automobile mishap involving a county road commission truck. Attomies for the plaintiff, Glen Scobey, 711 E. Thorn St., alledged that a County Road Commission truck negligently turned left in front of Scobey’s car. causing the collision at the corner of Broadway and State St. The jury awarded Scobey $250,000 for economic loss. $50,000 non-economic loss, and $15,000 damages. Attorneys for the county maintained throughout the trial that Scobey was negligent in his operation of the vehicle. However, testimony of a independent truck driver who witnessed the crash, and Lie city police investigator, convinced the jury that the road commission truck was blocking the intersection the morning of the incident, causing the Scobey vehicle to collide with the truck. The defendant's attorney. Sam F. Massie, Jr., could not be reached for comment. State police report decrease in state’s rural crimes Crime against persons and property in Michigan's rural areas declined four percent in 1981 compared to 1980. while the same type of crimes in urban areas increased six percent, according to the Michigan State Police. Sgt. Bill Atkins of the State Police Com­ munity Services Section says rural crime prevention efforts over the past few years are responsible for the crime decrease. "We've found through the efforts of farmers and other people in the rural areas that residents are becoming a lot more security concious,” he said. "People are reporting suspicious ac­ tivities, lighting their farms, watching each other’s property, etc., and these efforts are really paying off," says Atkins. Sgt. Gerald Smith of the Barry County Sheriff Dept, says he hasn’t noticed any appreciable decrease in rural crime, but he has noticed an "awareness of farmers to help each other" in the matter of crime prevention. "You used to be able to drive in the country roads and see equipment sitting alongside the roadway, but you don’t see that as much BREAK-IN continued from page 1 — An August 17 break-in on Four-Mile Rd. in Plainwell, investigated by Barry County Sheriff deputies, in which about $1,000 worth of belongings were stolen. Investigators say a muzzle loader taken in that burglary was found in the suspects' home. — An August 30 break-in. investigated by State Police of the Hastings team, of a Stuck Rd. residence. Almost $6,800 worth of guns, TVs, stereos, cameras, coins and other goods were reported stolen at that home. Kalamazoo sheriff deputies say the suspects travelled in two vehicles, and used female accomplices to knock on victims' doors, ostensibly to ask for directions, but with the intent to commit larceny. hX anymore. Farmers are taking their equip­ ment home, or else leaving it at another’s farm overnight,” says Smith. Rural crime prevention may have con­ tributed to an increase in rural crime, says Sgt. Atkins of the State Police. "In the past years, criminals considered rural areas easy pickings," he says. "But now, people in rural areas are much more likely to report suspicious activities or strangers in the neighborhood. So criminals have got the word that it’s a little more risky to commit crimes in the country, and this is pushing some crime back in the city areas.” He said his own observations are documented with information he received from the DNR which states that although a lake draw-down can result in killing some types of weeds it can cause other weed; io proliferate. Putnam said he also is concerned that a draw-down this year could possibly ruin the positive effects that were achieved with the chemical program this summer. He also charged that a draw-down puts a damper on winter lake activities. Mildred Matthews, another lake resident, agrees "It ruins activities around the lake." she said. "I can't see any good that the draw-down did before It was a terrible mess. Who’s going to clean the beaches?" Mrs. Matthews asks. She said she favors sticking with just the chemical treatment to try to discourage weed growth. “That doesn’t put anybody out. only fora few weeks. If it ( the chemical treatment! does in three years what it seemed to do this summer, it would be the best way,” she said. Banner (usps 07) 1952 N. Broadway. P.O. Box B. Hastings.

Monday, cleared the way for construction of Cappon’s Quick Lube at the rear of Cappon’s Quick Marl, 135 E. Green St. The building will be attached to the existing building. Dutch and Daryl Cappon, who attended the meeting at Hastings City Hall, said the ad­ dition will be pole building construction with metal siding, blending with the existing building’s siding. A zoning variance was required for the addition because the present service station does not conform to the zoning for its site. The site’s zoning was established after the station was in business. Foot patrols reduce crime A Michigan Slate University evaluation of a three-year trial foot patrol program in Flint. Michigan shows that foot patrols cut area crime and helped improve police­ community relations. The evaluation, conducted by a research team coordinated by Dr. Rober Trojanowicz, director of MSU’s School of Criminal Justice, also shows that calls for police service dropped sharply and residents felt safer with officers walking a beat. Funds for the study were provided by the Mott Foundation in Flint, which has also awarded $158,800 to the crimiral justice school for the establishement of a national foot patrol center at MSU. The center will use Flint's foot patrol program as a national model for improvement of urban police operations. Bill Ransom retires Oct. 1 as superintendent of the city's waste wal in the shadow of E. W. Bliss, and learned to swim in the Thornapple River. puts it, are phosphorous, suspended solids, and something called the bio-chemical oxygen demand. The Clean Water Act set limits on each of these; waler that is dumped in a river can have no more than 30 mg per liter of suspended solids, 30 mg per liter of bio­ oxygen demanding (BOD) chemicals, and there must be an 80 percent reduction in phosphorous. Ransom has done better than this. He points to six mg of suspended solids, 10 mg BOD, as well as the required 80 percent reduction in phosphorous. "The big push to remove phosphorous came in 1970," says Ransom. He says phosphorous promotes weed growth in waterways, which adds to oxygen demand. This, he says, in turn contributes to aging of the Great Lakes, a process known as putrification. Putrification causes a lower water quality, such as a lower level of dissolved oxygen; some species need a higher oxygen content than others. Ransom is most concerned with the Thornapple River, because that’s where the effluent from his plant goes, and Hastings is the largest use of the river. "The Thornapple is a lot cleaner now than Bonner photo it was, say. in the 50s," says Ransom. As a lifelong resident of Hastings, he would be one to judge. He says he learned to swim in the Thornapple as a boy, and that he remembers when it was “one of the best bass streams in the state." If the fish can’t appreciate Bill Ransom's work, then those who have worked closely with him these long years can. "He’s one of the most dedicated employees we've ever had," says Mike Klovanich. director of public works for the City of Hastings. "He’s done an outstanding job operating and maintaining the plant. We need more like him." PUBLIC OPINION: TODAY’S QUESTION: Last week, a Michigan State University study team suggested that tourism was being discouraged in Barry County by the policies of local government.

Sox B What smokes a pipe, handles 800.000 gallons of water every day, and replaced Richard M. Nixon? Answer: Bill Ransom. And Bill Ransom, who smokes a Dr. Grabow pipe, runs the city’s waste waler treatment plant, and replaced Richard Mills Nixon as the system’s superintendent in 1972. is retiring Oct. I, after i7 years of service. His job is as behind the scenes as you can get. But then again, who thinks what happens next after you flush the toilet? Or wash the dishes? Or drain the bathtub? Ransom thiiJcs about it all the time. In his blue laboratory, surrounded by shiny graduated cylinders, and drawers and cabinets filled with the arcana of chemistry, Ransom knows what it takes to clean waste water. So does the government. In 1972, Congress passed Public Act 92.500, the Clean Water Act. Thai law set standards for the dumping of waste water in rivers. "In so many words, it said 'clean up your act’” says Ransom. So Hastings built a secondary treatment plant, to replace the primary plant run by Mr. Nixon, and Bill Ransom, who, seven years prior, was working for Lockshore Dairy, became the new plant's superin­ ndent.

Wes Erwin Each of this week's respondents agreed that we ha'-e a beautiful county, one worthy of tourism. “It’s like being up north without being up north." was the way one person put it. “It wouldn't hurt a thing in my opinion." says Jerry Beckwith. "Not one bil. Because we have an area that is such a beautiful area in Southern Michigan, you would have to go way up north to see anything that would equal anything that we have in Barry County. "We have nearly as many lakes as they have tup north)," says Beckwith, "and the land down here isn’t that flat; it’s nice rolling, beautiful country " Linda Bolo says “Yes. I think we could use (more tourists). "We have a lot of lakes. Gun Lake, and the Charlton Park area.” says Bolo. "I think it would be good for us." says Cliff Bustance. "It would bring more business into town." Joyce Towne Lorry Foreman "We have lots of lakes, and a museum in Charlton Park. Maybe if there was more interest, people would do more. It'c what this community needs." says Bustance. “From my own standpoint, I would like tJ see more tourists in Hastings." says Mike Hawthorne, owner of U-Renl-Em Canoes. “For years, they’ve been discouraged, not only tourists, but anybody that wanted to come to Hastings. “You have no idea how many meals and how much gas the people who come to Hastings buy...I still don’t understand why when people come to Hastings to go canoeing, nobody else taps their source.” says Hawthorne. “We have an immense amount of recreation." says Hawthorne, "and there is an immense amount of people who come here that we don't even welcome openarmed. and that's a sin as far as I'm con­ cerned." Sandy Schondelmayer Wes Erwin, of Nashville, says “I would like to see more people visit Barry County.” "We have Charlton Park, and we have lakes, and we have resorts, and we have churches, and what else do we want?" "I would like to see more tourism.’ says Joyce Towne of Hastings “1 think it brings more money into our community, and I do think we have some advantageous things to offer " She says tourism is not being en­ couraged here. Larry Foreman says there are a lot of "camping people” in Barry County, and they would like to see more tourists enjoying the area. “With the economy the way it is. it’s tough to get people to travel" He cites Charlton Park, Bowens Mill and Gun Lake as major area attractions.” Sandy Schondelmayer, of Middleville, says “It (more tourists) could do nothing but help.” �The Hastings Banner, Thursday.

Last April, the Banner published an ar­ ticle, illustrated by photographs, detailing a severe erosion problem in the Mud Creek Watershed area, located on prime farmland in Woodland and Castleton townships in Barry County. Since that time, Joe Lukasiewicz of the Barry Soil and Water Conservation District, reports that some correctional changes are being made on a few of the farms. Lukasiewicz is involved in helping area farmers with farm planning for soil and water conservation and offering such technical assistance as surveys and designing and installing soil and water conservation practices. The Mud Creek Watershed area in Barry County and 11 other counties in southwest Michigan, eight counties in Indiana, and three counties in Ohio are targeted as part of the most severely eroding areas in the United States. Lukasiewicz said a decision on whether federal funding will be available to help control erosion in the Mud Creek area probably wouldn’t be made until 1983. The Mud Creek area has been the subject of a recent study made possible by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency through a water quality planning grant. The study, conducted by Carl Stamm, project coordinator of the USDA-Soil Con­ servation Service, said that the most im­ portant of the “best management practices" needed in the Mud Creek Watershed are conservation tillage, he said. Other beneficial practices to curb erosion would be conservation cropping system, grass waterways, tile drainage, crop residue management, grade stabilization structures, animal waste management systems, critical area treatment, steambank stabilization, cover crops, pasture and hayland management, proper application of her­ bicides and pesticides, and floodwater retention basins, Stamm noted. Several of the recent local erosion control projects (like those in the accompanying photos) have been financed through cost sharing of the farmer involved and the Agriculture Stabilization Conservation Service. Lewis-Riva engagement told Melanie Lewis and Jerry Riva, both of Middleville, are pleased to announce the engage ment of their daughter, Melinda Riva of Middleville, to Jeffrey King of Parma, son of Mr. and Mrs. Donald King of Parma.

IN TIMES OF CHANGE, LET YOUR FAITH REMAIN CONSTANT Hooner or later, most of us will undergo some kind of a major change, and a prime example of one that can cause much confusion and turmoil is moving to a new home or a different city. Whatever the reason, it is bound to disrupt the lives of all concerned: for example, if your children have to attend a new school as a result. Trying to inform everyone of the move and adapting to new surroundings can be chaotic indeed. However, the one element in your life that should not change is your faith, for it can be a stabilizing force during this hectic time. So if possible, continue to attend your House of Worship. If not, find one in your new location that will meet your spiritual needs. Above all, remember that the love of God will follow you and remain with you, wherever you may happen to be.

Banner photo �The Hastings Banner, Thursday. September 23. 1982 — Page 5 Barry Twp. Board OKS millage rollback Sound, smells and skills of yesteryear on display... From the roar of a cannon to the mouth­ watering smell of freshly brewed vegetable soup, the sounds, smells and skills of the last century were displayed at the annual Folk Life Festival, Saturday and Sunday, at Charlton Park. The 12th annual festival focused on the skills and creative talents developed by the self-sufficient American pioneers to meet lheir needs. Costumed in Civil War attire, the Fifth Battery of the First Michigan Light Artillery shot off a cannon every hour throughout the weekend. Inside the restored Bristol Inn. a stagecoach stop and tavern built in the second naif of the 19th Century, homemade bread and vegetable soup were made on the old wood stove. Horsedrawn buggies offered rides to those who were to young to remember the years before the automobile and to those w..o wanted to reminisce about their younger years. Sweet corn was cooked in a barrel using the power from a steam engine and ice cream was cranked using only musclepower. Hymns were sung in the village church and square dances "dosey-doed" through the village green Shown here are just a few of the weekend scenes captured by the Banner camera. The Barry Township Board has approved a tax rollback of township millage from 5 mills to 4.86 mills and the elimination of a one percent tax collection fee. The result of that act on will save township taxpayers a total of about $4,000 from the millage reduction and in the neighborhood of $12,300 (based on last year's figures) by not having to pay a tax collection fee. “It won't amount to a lot of dollars (savings) to one individual," said Barry Township Supervisor William Wooer, “but it’s the board's way of trying to fight in­ flat ion." He said this is the second year the township board has discontinued the one percent collection fee which it is allowed by law to charge for reimbursement of costs for preparing, mailing, and handling tax notices. The tax reductions were made after the township's "Truth in Taxation" hearing which Wooer said was attended by only four people. The board was in a position to approve the Freeport woman’s claim pending over damages from spraying A decision is expected soon over a Freeport woman’s $2,779 claim for what she says are expenses incurred as a result of the village’s weed spraying last July. Karen Webb, 125 Cherry St., claims her yard is contaminated with Aatrex, a her­ bicide commonly used by farmers, which was dumped in dry form on her sidewalk in early July as part of the village’s annual spraying of weeds, causing rashes and illness in her children. According to Robert Byington, attorney for the village, an insurance company adjustor visited the Webb’s home Tuesday, and a decision regarding a settlement is due "any day". Webb says her children broke out in rashes, and a row of peonies which faced the sidewalk died after the spraying. She seeks to be reimbursed medical expenses, and the cost of replacing the flowers, and the topsoil in her yard which she claims is contaminated with Aatrex. Poi Bowerman drives her horse through the park's Historic Village. Lyle Blough, Freeport village president, declines comment on Webb's allegations. He did acknowledge, in a statement to the Banner, that Webb's complaint against the village was filed on Sept. 7, and on Sept. 8 turned into a lawyer, adding “I feel that the council is doing everything within their power to cure this situation." millage rollback because of the inflationary increase from higher property assessments, Wooer said. He noted that legally the township is allowed five mills: one allocated mill and four extra-voted mills (two mills support the fire departments and two are earmarked for police protection). The township millage will be rolled back to 4.8624, meaning that for each $1,000 of State Equalized Evaluation, taxpayers will pay $4.86 in 1982 taxes rather than $5. for each $1,000 of SEV. "We really appreciate the people's support for voting for the (extra) police and fire millage and the baord wanted to give the people a break in taxes if we possibly could. They (the people) deserve credit the other way. Both the police and fire departments do a good job and we’re going to do everything we can to keep expenses down,” Wooer said “Noservices will be cut at the present time (because of the rollback). We're going to watch our Ps and Qs of spending," he said. The assessed value in the township in­ creased an average of about eight percent this year. Residential and agricultural assessments were a little lower than that and commercial and industrial were higher, Wooer said.

Armed services NOTICE of PUBLIC HEARING INCREASING PROPERTY TAXES on The BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS of the COUNTY OF BARRY will hold a public hear­ ing on a proposed increase of .40503 mills in the operating tax millage rate to be levied in 1982. The hearing will be held on TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1982 at 1:00 o’clock in the p.m. at 117 S. Broadway, Hastings, Ml. 49058. If adopted, the proposed additional millage will increase operating revenues from ad valorem property tax 7.41% over such revenues generated by levies permitted without holding a hearing. The taxing unit publishing this notice, and identified below, has complete authority to establish the number of mills to be levied from within its author­ ized millage rate.

Allen of Cobb Road, Route 3. Delton, and Barbara Allen of 94 N. 31st St., Battle Creek, has completed recruit training at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot, San Diego, Calif. Dur t, the 11-week training cycle, he learned the basics of battlefield survival. He was introduced to the typical daily routine that he will experience during his enlistment and studied the personal and professional standards traditionally exhibited by Marines. He participated in an active physical conditioning program and gained proficiency in a variety of military skills, including first aid, rifle marksmanship and close order drill. Team world and self­ discipline were emphasized throughout the training cycle. EBI receives energy grant from feds EBI Breakthru, Inc., in Lake Odessa, rehabilitative center for emotionally, menially and physically handicapped adults, will receive $2,517 in a federal energy con­ servation grant. The grant announced by Rep Harold Sawyer (RRockford) will be used for technical assistance audits to measure specific costs, payback periods and projected energy savings from the use of energy conservation measures. The future of the KBE Connecting Railway is on the line in Lansing. The transportation subcommittee of the House Appropriation^ Committee is debating whether to continue the nine-mile railway’s subsidy for another year or close the doors on the struggling firm. Rep. Robert Welborn, R-Kalamazoo, a member of the subcommittee is fighting the subsidy, while Sen. David Holmes is pushing for a subsidy of $177,240 for the next fiscal year. Last year, the railway received $280,606 from the Michigan Department of Transportation. “I do not support it because the (tran­ sportation) department has recommended that it will never make a go of it and we’ve got too many other valuable programs," Welborn said. “I don’t think this thing (KBE) will every go.” Welborn, however, thinks he will lose his fight and the subsidy will stay in the 1983 budget. "Dave Holmes is a black senator from Detroit,” Welborn continued. "Holmes, I’ve been told, is the one that’s insisting that it (the subsidy) go back in and I’m insisting that it go out.” Welborn said he is not fighting against KBE alone, but also is opposed to continuing subsidies for a cross lake ferry and a ferry across the Straits of Mackinac. "The subsidy for cai loads in 1981 was over $1,700 per car for KBE," Welborn continued. "Part of that time, it was a 40 mile railroad. That comes to about $40 per mile per car." The line formerly serviced 47 miles from Kentwood to Vermontville, but was reduced from Kentwood to Caledonia earlier this year. When KBE Connecting Railway was formed in 1978, it was billed as the nation's first black-owned railway. News reports from several sources in the past week have said that senior officials in the Department of Transportation were opposed to the subsidy from the start. Welborn said that the committee was expected to take its final vote today. Medical Society names new officers — The Barry County Medical Society announced new officers Monday.

Mr. and Mrs. Glendon Curtis and Mr. and Mrs. Steven Carter spent the weekend at Former Hastings man is Ohio doctor Dr. Phillip L. Potter, 36, son of Richard and the late Mary Genevieve Potter of 1239 S. Montgomery, Hastings, is on staff at The Good Samaritan Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio. Dr. Potter is a para neonatologist, one of 155 specializu^ in this field in the world. As a youth, he attended school at Altoft, Woodland, Lakewood, and Gull Lake before graduating from University High in Kalamazoo in 1964. Dr. Potter completed four years in the U.S. Navy, serving aboard the USS Shang-Ra-La in the ship’s hospital and al the Naval Hospital in Boston and Bethesda Naval Hospital in Maryland. He received his pre-med training at Kalamazoo Valley Community College and graduated from Michigan State University’s school of medicine in 1976. Dr. Potter completed a four-year fellowship at the University of Kentucky Hospital in Louisville; a one-year fellowship at the University of Michigan Hospital in Ann Arbor; and a one-year fellowship at Duke University Hospital in Durham, North Carolina. He and his wife, Jan, and three children Sault Ste. Marie. On Saturday, they crossed the International Bridge to Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada, and boarded the Alogoma train for a ride into the Canadian wilderness. The train took them to Agawa Canyon where they had a two-hour layover and lunch. They returned to Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. In all. the train ride was nine hours long. They enjoyed the scenery which included lakes and waterfalls as well as trees in full fall color in some areas. The only disap­ pointment of the trip was that they did not see any wildlife. Shiela Carter said that they saw no bears, no deer, not even a squirrel, and very few birds. The only Moose they saw were eating breakfast at a Moose convention at a restaurant in Sault St. Marie, Mi. on Sunday morning. The old smokehouses are becoming another focal point of our vanishing Americana. This building was once as necessary to farm life as the horse and buggy. Before the days of the ice-box, meat p-eservation was a problem and smoking meats, especially porks, was the answer. An efficient smokehouse was usually large enough to hold the year’s supply of bacon and ham. The building was built without win­ dows. The inside of the building had dirt floors on which to build the fire. The meat was placed on wooden racks or hung from nails. Butchering began with the first really cold weather in late fall or early winter. It was usually a neighborly get-together, with several families gathering to partake in the work, fresh meat, and friendly conversation. After the animal was killed, dressed, and cut up, the hams and slabs of meat for bacon were rubbed with a heavy coat of salt and left to absorb this for about three days. Then a curing mixture, usually consisting of at least three ingredients — salt, sugar, and salt­ peter was rubbed into the meat. The meat was then hung in the smokehouse and a fire started. The curing process actually had two purposes — to preserve and to add good flavor to the meat. Smoke preserves because of its chemical action and its drying or dehydrating effect. The curing process took twenty to fourty days, depending on the size of the pieces of meat to be cu-ed. A general rule was to allow two days per pound. Different woods gave different flavors, with hickory the first preference. In a pinch, corn cobs could be used. When the auto became popular, people living in the cxintry had access to grocery stores and meat supplies and butchering and curing one’s own meat began to decline. With the advent of the ice-box, and later on the availability of electricity for refrigerators, the smokehouse in most cases, reside in Cincinnati. became an obsolete building. Dr. Potter has a brother, Robert, who If you search diligently, especially through resides in Nashville and a sister, Beth Stutz, the Midwest, a few smokehouses can still be of Woodland who is a home health nurse for seen around the countryside. Most still in the Barry-Eaton District Health Depart­ existence are serving a useful purpose, as a ment. storage shed. In a few, you might still find the butchering kettle, lard press, and sausage stuffer used in butchering days long ago. In most casts these items long ago found their way into antique shops and into the hands of the ?ollector. Another piece -f vanishing Americana is the old maple sugar molds.

At Superintendent Richard Guenther’s recommendation, this last date was ex­ tended to Nov. 30, and the payment reduced to $5102 for that month. The plan was created and drafted by a special committee composed of board members Judith Lenz, Richard Groos, Diane Hoekstra and Administrative Assistant Robert C. Miller. The board also recalled three teachers, previously on indefinite layoff, back to their jobs. The three called back and their positions are: Roland Furrow, adult education; Claraetta Phillips. Southeastern fifth and sixth grades and Laura Sharpe, Pleasantview Kindergarten and sixth grade. Guenther attributed the recalls to in­ creased enrollment, primarily in adult ed, and the resignation of Barb Gurdy. In other beard action, a letter of agreement with food service employees which extends their 1981-82 contracts another year was approved. According to Guenther, the wage freeze was brought to the board by food service employees and the employees’ negotiators. Upon approval of the letter, board members thanked the food service em­ ployees for their offer. Joe & Kim Schroeder 402 North Michigan Avenue FREE Plant Clinic / !

Jackson just happened to score more in a 14-6 Twin Valley win. In the first overtime Saxon Bruce Martin put Hastings on top with a touchdown run, but Jackson answered sending the game into another overtime. This time around Jackson got the ball first, scored a touchdown and held off the Saxons with an interception. Both offenses sputtered around the center of the field most of the night. Hastings produced 187 yards and six first downs to Jackson’s 122 and five first downs. Hastings quarterback Steve Conner suf­ fered through the rain conditions with a 2 of 10 performance for 61 yards, 51 of those on one pass to Mike Cole. Martin finished as tne top rusher for the Saxons with 73 yards on 18 carries, and Keith Briggs added 40 yards on 12 totes. SPARTA 9... LAKEWOOD 0 Sparta used a power attack to move through the mud and capture a 9-0 Tri-River win over the Vikings. The Vikings, who have not scored this season, found the rain and bad field position loo much to overcome. Sparta broke a scoreless tie with 40 seconds remaining in the first half when Jeff Outeman capped a short drive with a one vard plunge The point after put Sparta up 7-0 at halftime. Sparta added their final two points on a safety produced by a Lakewood punt snapping error. The closest the Vikings could get to the goal line was the 18-yard-line in the first half. Sparta finished with 140 yards to 55 for the Vikes Charles Coon led Viking rushers with 55 yards. HUDSONVILLE 33...MIDDLEVILLE 20 Hudsonville running back Kevin Wagner scored four times on touchdown runs of 56, 48,80 and 32 yards to overwhelm the Trojans. His running, 206 yards on 12 attempts, and three Trojan turnovers inside the Hud­ sonville 10-yard-line, provided the story line. Hudsonville scored 13 points in the first quarter, six in the second, six in the third and eight in the final quarter. Trojan quarterback Jim Schipper turnec in an impressive game. He connected on 14 of 27 passes for 207 yards. Tim Lukas caught eight of those for 145 yards. The Trojans controlled the ball 80 plays, but with Wagner all Hudsonville needed was 20 plays. Hudsonville had a 354 to 345 edge in total yards. The Hastings Banner, Thursday. September 23, 1982 — Page 9 Games of the week Maple Valley opens play in new league A new horizon awaits the Maple Valley Lions Friday, when Olivet comes to visit The 7:30 p.m. game will mark the first game in the Lion’s new league, the Southern Michigan Athletic Association (SMAA). The Lions, 1-1, coming off a good per­ formance Friday, are eager to start after their goal of a title in the new league. Coach Dan Watson says. The Lions looked as different as night and day from their opening loss at Fowler, to Friday s 24-6 thumping of Lakeview Mont­ calm Olivet comes in at 2-0 after beating SMAA member Battle Creek Springfield ,°2-6 Friday. "If we can play this week like we did Friday, 1 think we can stay with anybody,” Watson said. “Our offense and our defense both looked much better than the first game.” IN OTHER COUNTY GAMES Hastings, smarting from a double over­ time loss in the rain Friday, take to the road to visit Twin Valley foe Sturgis. The Hastings offense took the blame for the 14-6 loss to Jackson Northwest on Friday, and they have been the center of attention at practice this week. Coach Jeff Simpson reports. Developing faith in the offense will be the key to the rest of the season, the rookie coach says. The defense has not allowed a score in regulation action covering eight quarters this season. Lakewood will celebrate homecoming this week with another chance to get on the scoreboard. The offense, or any other part of the team, has not produced a point over the two games played. The 0-2 Vikings. 0-1 in the Tri-River. will Saxon eagers cave in on Hillsdale The Hillsdale girls basketball team must have felt like the miner that finds gold only to have the shaft cave in on him. Hillsdale jumped to an 11-9 lead at the end of the first quarter Wednesday, but were outscored an incredible 76 to 5 over the final three period* The Hastings Saxons used a 42 percent shooting percentage and a pressing defense to smash Hillsdale 85-16 in the Twin Valley contest Hastings scored 22 to 1 margin in the second quarter, a 25 to 4 margin in the third quarter, and a 29 to 0 mashing in the final quarter to produce the landslide victory., Kelly Mogg scored 21 points and grabbed 14 rebounds to lead the Saxons in both categories. Others that got in on the scoring and rebounding in big ways were Paula Atkinson. 14 points and 9 .ebounds, Tammy Connor, 12 points, Laura Oom. 10 points and Jackie Jaynes, 7 rebounds. Steals, fast becoming a trademark of the 40 Saxons, were irequent again. Coach Pat Purgiel reported. The Saxons came up with 31 thefts, 20 in the first half. He had nothing but praise for his players, citing Mogg for her board work, Atkinson’ Oom and Connor for their offense, and Several of the top rated karate specialists in the United States will compete in Hastings, Saturday.

I! was the first win over the former league foes since 1977. The Lions scored four touchdowns mixing the passing and running attack. Quarterback Randy Joostbems connected nine times out of 14 attempts passing for 134 yards. All nine passes were caughF by all­ conference tight-end Tony Dunkelberger. Running back Tony Reid provided the ground attack with 140 yards, aided by Chris Barton who collected 34 yards. The Lions rolled up 411 total yards, 280 on the ground, and 131 in the air. Three Delton fumbles wrecked scoring opportunities and helped Parchment take a 17-0 KVA win in the rain Friday. The Panthers fumbled once on the Par­ chment two-yard-line, once on the 12 and another time on the 18—all in the first half. Sophomore Panther quarterback Steve Tuin tried six passes and completed two for 44 yards. He was sacked several times. Parchment collected 194 yards on the ground for most of their offense.

The Trojans 0-1 in the OK-Blue need the win to stay within a game of powerful Hudsonville. "We are not out if at all.” Coach Ray Page says. "Hudsonville is in the driver's seat, but there is a long way to go." Jan Bowers of Hastings, is one of 13 players on Western Michigan University’s 1982 softball team awarded varsity letters.

C.J. suf­ fered through 2 and 3 night of picks, one of his worst ever to set his record at 4 and 4 in the early going. That .500 percentage is a far cry from the .800 he boldly predicted at the start of the season, and not very close to .700, the line of respectability, according to the boss. Here is another adventure in the never ending love-hate, mostly hate relationship that the boss and C.J. share. BOSS I hate to rub it in buddy, but Friday was not your night. C.J. You’re not kidding! It took me two hours with a blow dryer to get all the rain out of my control panel. BOSS I didn't mean the rain wet head. I was talking about your night of piexs. CJ. The games should have been called because of the weather. It was a night not fit for man or computer. BOSS Putting the blame on the weather. How lowcan you go? C.J.

BOSS You are pretty boring tonight. When; is that old zip, vim and vigor? You have not even insulted me yet. C.J. I'm in between seasons. You know, baseball to football, and now no baseball, so back to football. And then the World Series, and it is a lot to program right now. I’m having a real rough time with things now. I’m bogged down, my wires are splitting and I. need some rest. BOSS Sounds like you are working up to an excuse for your poor showing with football picks to me. C.J. You call yourself a human. You have no feelings. You are a cynic from the word gc BOSS You are right. And I don’t beleive this line you are laying on me now. C.J.

During the next two weeks the leaves will be turning color. Each tree species has a distinctive color which makes identification easy, the Department of Natural Resources says. The color comes from natural pigments in the leaves after death. While the leaves are alive the color that stands out is green, from the chlorophyll that is used to change light energy to food. This process is called photosynthesis. When leaves die in the fall, the chlorophyll is the first pigment to break down. This allows the colors of the >other pigments to show through. The reds and yellows that were in the leaves all summer finally get a ehnee to shine. Fall color last about two weeks, the DNR warns, and then it is raking time. General outdoor conditions: This fall season has settled in now with cool nightime temperatures in the low 40’s and pleasant daytime highs staying in the low 60’s. Even a bit of cobr can be seen, especially in the welter lowland areas. Migrating geese, a sure sign of autumn, are showing up in increwing numbers at the managed areas. Inland Lakes: Fishing pressure on inland lakes has dropped off sharply with sportsm n preparing for hunting season. Those sticking with it are finding very good success for bluegills fishing with live baits (crickets, worms and wigglers) in 20 feet of water 12 feet down to very near the shore in about 3 feet of waler. Hunting - Opening day for deer season remains November 15! Squirrel and ruffed grouse opener was slow as usual for this time of year. Few hunters were out and success was down. Vegetation is still very heavy. Migrating woodcock have not yet arrived. They are expected around the middle of October and produce better shooting op­ portunities than the local population. Put-Take: Hunting pressure is down from last year. With the cooler weather, birds have been performing well, all factors contributing to a pleasant hunting op­ portunity. Firearm deer season is fast approaching. This is a good time to get your guns sighted in and confirm landowner permission. Getting to know your hunting area before hand always helps on opening day loo. Don’t forget that hunters choiceapplications must be sent in before October 1st. New Shining Law: "You may not throw or cast, or cause to be thrown or cast, an ar­ tificial light between the hours of n p.m. to 6 a.m. for the purpose of locating wild animals or wild birds”. This means with or without a firearm. Waterfowl digests ure now available! National Hunting and Fishing Day is this Saturday, the 25th. A day to recognize the hunters and anglers and the important role they play in conservation.

T^-ms were formed and practice games were played. This week, teams will be playing in league competition. Any new player who would still like to participate, can still do so, by coming to Saturdays games. Boys in the 3-4 grades should come to Johnson Field at 11-12:15, those in the 5-6 grade 9:30-10:45 and those in 7-8 grade 8-9:15. The program is under the direction of Dave Storms, the YMCA Director, and the Hastings Football coaches and players. Parent-Child Programs: Last Wednesday, September 22, a pow-wow was held for any parent and their child interested in joining the new YMCA program called Indian Guides, for dad and sons, Indian Princesses, for dad and their daughters, and Tall Braves for moms and their sons. These programs provide the parents the opportunities to do things with their children, ages 5-8, on a one to one basis, share new experiences, and in the process get to know one another better. 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 basis. Typical activities include crafts, hiking, camping, trips, cookouts, stories, games, service projects and Indian lore. If you were unable to attend the pow-wow, but would still like to know more, call the YMCA office at 9454 574. �Th.? Hastings Banner. Thursday.

Johnston Cindy Wilcox can show you home movies of her being pulled in a wagon down the main street of Hastings as a three-year-old in the YMCA-Youth Council summer playground parade. "My Dad (Lew Lang) used to be the playground supervisor.” she says, "so we spent our whole entire summers traveling from playground to playground with him.” Cindy, born in 1949. remembers par­ ticipating in those parades from the early 1950's, "Y" summer baseball and swimming programs, and as she grew older, becoming involved in more activities. She eventually supervised playgrounds herself and worked as a counsellor at YMCA Camp Algonquin. “(The Y» was the only way of life," she says, “it really was.” Cindy, who lives with her husband, Dave, and daughter, Kate. 9. at 201 E. Shriner St., can put all of the slogans heard from United Fund agencies like the YMCA and Youth Council into personal testimonial. “The Y did mean a lot to me growing up,” she says. “It’s such an attractive part of Hastings. I’ve been talking to my friends in other communities that don’t begin to have the programs for kids that we do. Several that 1 talked to sent their kids back to Hastings for camp.” Cindy's involvement in the Y programs didn’t stop when she became an adult. She recalls that the Y swimming programs led her to return to college and earn a teaching certificate. Through the years of swimming programs she had earned both her “senior lifesaving” and "water safety instructor" certifications. "Then I worked at Y’s in Grand Rapids and Mt. Pleasant and ran a swimming program at Otsego Middle School and in Hastings in the summers,” she says. "It was when I worked at the Otsego swimming program that 1 decided to get back to school and get a teaching certificate.” She had hardly moved back to Hastings before she was tapped by former YMCAYouth Council director Bob King to serve as an advisor to the Hastings High School TriHi-Y’ Beta Club for girls Today, she serves on the YMCA Board and teaches an aerobics class for children called “Feeling Fit". The class, meeting two nights a week after school, uses music and aerobic dance to teach first through fourth grade Manufacturing Co., union negotiating Hastings Manufacturing Co. officials and leaders of UAW Local 138 are working on a new contract today. The two sides scheduled a meeting for this morning to review the union s response to a company contract proposal submitted Sept. 21. "The union responded to the company proposal, yesterday and is continuing to respond today." Dennis Witham, industrial relations director, said this morning. David Turnes, chief negotiator for the union, confirmed the Thursday morning meeting to continue the union s response to the company offer. He had no further comment on the negotiations. At stake in the negotiations is the fate of 150 jobs which Witham said the company will possibly move out of state to redur** wage and benefit costs. The company has set an informal deadline of Oct. 1 to wrap up the negotiations for a new contract. "The company is still maintaining that a decision on whether to relocate the jobs or not will be made in the very near future,1* Witham said. He declined to say how soon that decision would be made. The three-year union contract had not been scheduled to expire until Feb. 1, but on Aug. 23 the company told the union the jobs would be moved unless costs for filter production could be reduced to compete with other manufacturers. Hastings Ambulance second in statewide competition A three-man team from the Hastings Ambulance service tied for second in the Fifth Annual Basic Life Support Com­ petition. held Sept. 17-19, in Cadillac. Tiie competition pitted 21 commercial, municipal and volunteer agencies from around the state against each other in a contest of nerves, experience and quick thinking. The local crew tied in number of points awarded with Fleet Ambulance of Pontiac. Taking first was a Mt. Clemens crew, and placing third was a team from Lansing. Crews were given two written problems, then an enactment of the problem. One example: You are calle 1 to the scene of an accident at the corner of North Elma nd Sixth Ave.. Upon arrival you find that a car has hit a bicycle. The bicycle has a severely bent set of handle bars and a crumpled front wheel. The patient is an 18-year-old who has been thrown off the roadway and is lying on the berm. When you are given the signal, you are expected to examine the paient, treat as if this were a real patient, and transport him to the designated place. Competing for the Hustings service was Ron Boyer. Hastings Ambulance Service manager. Selden Novotny and Mike Mills. The judges in the competition were made up of doctors. EMT instructors, and Michigan Dept of Public Health officials. Dr Brian Swanton, head of Pennock Hospital's emergency room, served as one of the judges in the event. children about their bodies and how they work. And, of course, the third generation of her family is already a Y veteran. Daughter Kate began attending swimming and gymnastics programs at three and four years old. The YMCA and the Hastings Youth Council are two of 11 agencies funder! from the Hastings Area Community Fund. Cindy Wilcox leads a class of youngsters in the "Feeling Fit” program of the Hastings YMCA-Youth Council.

Hastings Ban Price 20c Devoted to the Interests of Barry County Since 1856 Vol. 127, No. 38 Hastings, Michigan Thursday, September 30,1982 Hastings merchants worried about downtown vandalism by Elaine Gilbert Downtown vandalism and loitering problems will be on the "front burner" for city police if a group of merchants have their way. Six persons representing businesses in the Hamlet of Whiffletree (former Gittleman building) told the Hastings City Council Monday night that they are concerned with downtown vandalism, loitering problems and what they termed lack of cooperation from city police. Mayor Kenneth J. Howe said he has sometimes observed as many as 50-60 per­ sons “standing downtown at night” and would support investigating all available avenues to help the merchants’ problems. Lori Dunn, who operates the Riverbottom in the lower level of the Whiffletree, located on the corner of State and Jefferson Streets, told the council that vandalism and loitering are recurring problems there. Her business also was burglarized in Juns. Mrs. Dunn said a stairwell onJeflersonSt. below street level, which leads to the Riverbottom and the Sweet Dreams Candy Shoppe, has been used by loiterers after hours as a "convenient place to drink and relieve themselves on a regular basis.” She said she has repeatedly found smashed liquor bottles, debris, and urine around the premises Attempts to beautify the business area at the Whiffletree are being sabatoged, she charged, noting destruction to planters and a mural. The latest incident occured approximately between 1:40 a.m. and 3:55 a.m. Sunday when vandals sprayed black paint on the Riverbottom and Sweet Dreams Candy Shoppe as well as Felpausch Food Center and Ben Franklin. Shaw and Councilman David Jasperse said that officer’s name should be given to Sleinfort. Attorney Richard Shaw said the loitering problem wouki have been easier to solve 15 years ago. “We used to have a no loitering ordinance but it was held to be unconstitutional," he said. One merchant asked whether a curfew existed that would at least eliminate younger age youth from loitering. "We haven’t enforced it (a curfew)," Shaw said. “I'm concerned not just for our building, but for downtown Hastings." said Tracy. "You as a council arc challenged to do something to make downtown nice...it doesn’t look good, it looks bad for Hastings,” he said. Council members voted to refer the matter to city attorney Richard Shaw and Hastings Police Chief Mark Steinfort who said they would meet with the W'hiffletree merchants. That same night, windows1 were waxed at W’ayne’s Shoe Store, Birke’s Shoe Store, Bosley Pharmacy. Riverbottom. Todd Automotive, Ben Franklin, Gambles, and the Hastings Sweeper Shop. Mrs. Dunn expressed frustration that city police felt nothing could be done to help curb the trouble. -ee Tracy, who owns the Antique Cellar in the Whiffletree building, complained that city police seemed uninterested in respon­ ding when called about the painting incident, he said one officer allegedly said he had “more important things to do.” Computer group hears bad news “Low” area unemployment may halt matching fund program by Ken Reibel Michigan Department of Education of­ ficials say county unemployment is not bad enough to warrant two-to-one matching funds through the state to purchase com­ puters for the high school. That’s because the state is using last year’s figures to compute school districts' eligibility for Die money, which a group of citizens, teachersand students want to use to bring Hastings area schools into the com­ puter age. George Hubka, spokesman for the "Computers For Kies" group, announced the disappointing news to about 15 individuals Wednesday night, on the eve of the group s kickoff drive lo raise $13,500 through the community to purchase eight Apple II microcomputers for use in the high school. Hubka said that the Barry County jobless figure for July, 1982 is 17.4 percent, more than three points above the state average of 14 percent. "Those figures would put us in the top group for matching funds." said Hubka. However. Hubka said he was told by of­ ficials from the State Department of Education that the department is using unemployment figures from late 1981, and early 1982 lo compute the district's eligibility for the funds. During that time, the area jobless rate stood at 11.2 percent, more than a point under the state average of 12.3 per­ cent. Hubka said the officials told him that the group's chances of qualifying for the mat­ ching funds “is only about 20 percent.” Final word will be announced by the state Nov. 15. "The figures used by the Slate Department of Education are nine to eleven months old,” said Hubka, "and they do not reflect the current situation in Michigan." Hubka, and others at the meeting held in the high school's band room, said the only hope to collect the funds is to convince the state lo use 1982 figures. Hubka said he had contacted Third District Congressman Howard Wolpe's Kalamazoo office for help in the matter. “It’s not a case of them (the state) changing the rules after the game started, it's just that we didn't know the rules before the game started," said Hubka. The group voted unanimously lo continue with the fund drive, and explore further sources of funds through corporate grants to purchase the computers. Two corporatate grants eyed by Hubka and others area $5,000 grant from the Apple Corp., and Si.250 from the Heinold Corp., a commodities brokerage firm. Word on the Apple grant will be known is two weeks, according to Hubka. Due to the Tuesday fog Four injured in three separate traffic mishaps Four persons were injured, one critically, in three separate mishaps on county roads early Tuesday. Barry County Sheriff deputies say "ex­ treme fog” is lo blame for one of the mishaps, a head-on collision on Whitneyville Rd. which critically injured a 50-year-old woman. Sheriff deputies say Patrick Fitzsimmons, 30. Greenwood St.. Middleville, was nor­ thbound when his vehicle crossed the cen­ terline. striking a southbound vehicle driven by Geraldine Elaine VanLet, Ri’-zrton S.E., Grand Rapids The Middleville Fire Department was called to the scene with its extracton tool to free VanLet from the wreckage. Deputies say extreme fog may have caused Fitzsimmons to cross the center line, striking the VanLet vehicle. The accident is under investigaton. Both VanLet and Fitzsimmons were rushed to Pennock Hospital. VanLet was then taken to Butterworth, where she is reported to be in serious condition in the hospital's intensive care surgery. Fitz­ simmons was held overnight at Pennock for his injuries, and discharged Wednesday. William Charles Moan HI. 36. 11806 Crum Rd., Plainwell, spent the night in Kalamazoo's Borgess Hospital with a fractured wrist after the car he was driving left the road and struck a tree al 6:25 a.m. Tuesday. Sheriff deputies say Moon was southbound on Kane Rd. near Cressey Rd. when the mishap occurred. Moon reportedly told deputies he swerved lo avoid a large dog in the middle of the road, causing the mishap. Dean Russell Rounds. 25 , 327 Meadow Ln., was treated and released at Pennock Hospital Tuesday morning after his motorcycle struck a deer on State Rd. Sheriff Deputies say Rounds was west­ bound when his cvcle struck a doe deer, tipped over, and slid 102 feet. Deputies blame "very heavy fog" for the 6:20 a.m. accident. Bliss, UAW extend contract day-to-day E.W. Bliss Co. and members of UAW Local 414 have extended their contract on a day-today basis and have scheduled another meeting for Oct. 13. Herman Bottcher. acting industrial relations director for the company, said the two sides are still talking and have not decided to break off negotiations, though a new contract has not yet been reached. The three year contract signed in 1980 was re-opened at the end of its second year at the request of the company. The contract was extended from Aug. 31 to Sept. 24. then again to the end of the month. Bottcher said Wednesday night that the deadline has now been extended indefinitely, with either side giving a 48 hour notice if action is to be taken. "We’re still negotiating," Bottcher said. "That’s always better than coming up lo a finale.” Bottcher compared progress in the talks to buying a house "You're never sure that you bought the house until you get a final yes," he said. "You talk back and forth, but you're never sure until you get the yes.” James Morway. president of Local 414, confirmed Bottcher's comments, saving they have had some movement in the talks. "That’s as far as 1 dare say." he said. "I don't want to say too much." Morway said the union had about 120 members currently working out of a membership roll between 450 and 500 people.

September 29. 1982 Page 2 Out-of-state people are apparently traveling around Michigan with promises of fortunes to Im? made from worm farming. People who believe those promises may end up with little more than a huge-a nd ex­ pensive-can of worms. Bait market promise may have a dangerous hook Donald Gar ling. Michigan Slate University Cooperative Extension Service fisheries management specialist, says similar promotional claims were circulated in Michigan last winter. Then, as now. these claims were largely false. “Sales representatives are implying that there is a large demand for additional fish­ worm farms in the slate. The fact is that the market is already well supplied.” Garling says. ' For most part, the pitch is not true.” Contracts being signed by prospective fishworm growers range from about $2,000 to $6,000. “For this amount of money, the buyer apparently receives instructions on how to grow fishworms and a few boxes of fish­ worms." Garling says. "A lot of verbal promises are made about demand and buying the worms back, but these apparently are almost entirely false." Buyers are being lured by claims that feed processing industries, municipalities and bait distributors are clamoring for worms ' This sort of thing is not new and the onlypersons to profit by the scheme are the persons selling the contracts." Garling says "For the most part, the sport fishing in­ dustry is well supplied by established ven­ dors. If there was a boom in bait demand, these vendors could easily expand to suddIv the market." } The irony of the situation is that the MSU Cooperative Extension Service can supply the necessary educational material about growing fishworms free of charge. "H people were really interested in raising a lew worms for their personal use, we can supply the literature and for a few- dollars growers can buy their breeding stock and be in business," Garling says. "Keep in nmind that if what is being sold is as good as it's claimed, the representative’s company would likely be in retail sales and not trying to peddle the venture," Garling adds. City approves overdue overtime payments to three firefighters The Hastings City Council Monday ap­ proved payment of $1,749.56 in overtime pay retroactive to January 4, 1979, to three fulltime fire department drivers. The payment stems from a grievence filed by the drivers with the Michigan State Firefighters Union. According to a 1979 state law. the em­ ployees are entitled to receive time and onehalf for overtime work in excess of 216 hours in a 28-day period. However, no overtime pay is allowed in any month where an employee takes a vacation or leave of absence of any sort. 7 The city had thought it was exempt from the act, because of changes that had been made, until the grievence was investigated. The United States Air Force and Western Michigan University have joined together in a cooperative education program that has proven valuable for several students and alumni, including a Hastings man.

Band article sparks memories In most cases, the fire itself is not the killer. Fire victims are usually overcome with smoke and suffocate to death. Most fatal home fires start between midnight and dawn. Your nose is one of the first senses that falls asleep when you do. To The Editor Here are a few basic rules for fire prevention. Make sure your children are familiar with them too; —Don’t smoke in bed —Don’t play with matches or lighters. —Repair or replace all faulty electrical cords, switches and plugs. —Don’t overload circuits and keep the use of extension cords to the minimum. —Keep ventilation hoods above the kitchen stove free of grease. —Keep gasoline out of the house. —Keep heaters and wood stoves away from furniture and drapes. Use the proper fuel in them. —Clean your chimney at least once a year. —Get rid of piles of old newspapers, magazines, and oily rags. —Make sure flammable liquids are stored in proper containers and sealed.

PUBLIC OPINION: TODAY’S QUESTION: In an effort to deter and detect drunk drivers, police in Maryland and Massachusetts have been setting up roadblocks, called “sobriety checkpoints”. Would you like to see such roadblocks in Michigan? Do you feel police would be overstepping their authority in doing so? —Move T.V. sets and stereos away from the wall. —Keep combustibles away from your hot water heater and furnace. —Keep fireplace clean.

If you go become involved in a fire, make sure your family is out, and safe first. Call the fire department from a neighbor's house. Don’t panic, and make sure they know the proper address. Stay on the phone until yo i’ve answered all their questions. If someone is trapped, make sure you tell them. Just in case, plan with your family what you would do if a fire did occur. Plan at least two exits from every room in the house and designate a place for everyone to meet outside the house. Do not go back into the house to look at the fire. Do not go back into the house to look at the fire. Do not go back in to save property. Your life is not worth the risk. Make sure that your babysitters know of your emergency plans. You might even want to form a trusted neighbor of your plans. Smoke alarms are very good items to have installed and they don’t cost much. In most cases, smoke will overcome you before the fire. Install the alarms in the hallway near ‘.he bedrooms, in stairwells, and in the basement, on the ceiling. Don't put them near windows, doors, or air registers. Keep them clean, and don’t paint them. Fire extinguishers are good to have but not an alternative to calling the fire department. They offer protection from small fires. If you get one, get an ABC dr- chemical fire ex­ tinguisher and keep it handy. Read the directions and be familiar with its use. If you have any questions, feel free to call either myself or the fire chief.

A recent report on drunk driving revealed, among other things, that: — In 1980, 58 percent of the total highway fatalities in Michigan involved drinking drivers. As a result, 1,025 lives were lost, 37.996 people were injured, and there were 28,917 property damage crashes. The estimated total annual dollar cost in Michigan was $580 million. — Intoxicated drivers represent a very small percentage of the driving population, but they are extremely oxer-represented in traffic fatalities. Of Michigan's more than six-million drivers, approximately ten percent are involved in traffic accidents. Only about one percent are involved in alcohol-related crashes, yet more than half of the traffic fatalities involve intoxicated drivers — Seventy-six percent of the drinking drivers involved in fatal crashes in 1980 were under the age of 34; 47 percent were 24 or younger and 87 percent of the drivers in­ volved in all aicohol-related crashes were male. — More than two-thirds of the fatal ac­ cidents involving drinking drivers occurred in rural areas. In a report to Governor William G. Milliken, the Office of Substance Abuse Services and the Office of Highway Safety planning have urged stepped-up punishment for drunk driving offenses, calling for a system of legal deterrents which provide for more arrests, quicker trials, less plea bargaining and increased prevention. Among the 37 recommendatons made to the governor, were legislation making illegal the .10 blood alcohol level, rather than simply presuming that level constitutes drunkeness and legislation imposing im­ mediate driver license sanctions for drunk driving convictions. Most of this week’s respondents say that the so-called "sobriety checkpoints" are an infringement of persona) liberties, and would not like to see such a practice instituted in this state. “I think they (the policei would be over­ stepping their authority a certain bit." says Dana Kruko, of Hastings. "If there is evidence that drunk driving is going on. I think the police should pull < the offender) over, but if it doesn't look like drunk driving is going on. and if there is no evidence, then the police don't have the right to stop a driver. But !'m still concerned about drunk driving, because it is a problem." says Kruko “I don't think it's right to stop every car." says Lila Hewitt, of Hastings. When police stop someone, they should know what the problem is." “It would be like searching a car without a search warrant." says Don Fountain, of Hastings. “I don't think it is right." Ernie DeGroot tninks ‘.he practice is ac­ ceptable. “I would like to see something like that in Michigan," says DeGroot. He says he doesn’t feel police would be overstepping their authority with "sobriety checks". "I think (the offender) should be punished for doing anything that’s illegal," says DeGroot. "I think that would be an infringement of my right to privacy," says Marian White of Hastings. “You have a right to drive down the street. I'm not driving drunk, but I would not like (the police) to stop me and assume I am." “I’m totally for freedom as far as not being deterred by police unnecessarily, however, I think that drunk driving has become such an awful problem that I would not be opposed to ithe police) stopping myself,” says Julie Dmgerson, of Woodland. "I feel that the we need to do something (to deter drunk drivers), and current methods haven't worked, so I would not be opposed to it.” says Dingerson. ‘If the police are stationed out by a bar, then they know the person in the car has been drinking," says Fran Barnhart, of Alto. “I don’t see why not, 1 think it's a good thing." They (the police) are breaking their jurisdiction," says Troy Rosendale, of Hastings. "They’re going into your privacy. If you're weaving on the road, or out of bounds, (then police can pull you over), but not if you’re just driving along." �The Hastings Banner.

About 35 members and guests met at the probate court rooms in Hastings September 16 for the first meeting of the year of the Barry County Historical Society. Barbara Furrow, newly elected president of the of the organization, discussed various projects completed during the summer months and the new projects for the coming year. Committee appointments will be made at a later date. A program entitled "Living Histories” was presented by Cranston Wilcox. Wilcox is the son of Clyde Wilcox, who owned and operated the Hastings Flower Shop for many years. Cranston graduated from Hastings High School with the class of 1931 and was with the health department for many years. He is now retired and lives in Coldwater with his wife, the former Dorothy Fields. Wilcox and several other members of the Branch County Historical Society have in­ terviewed people in their 80s and 90s using a novel method of taping. The tapes are kept with pictures and other artifacts of past years and are kept for future generations at the public library. Wilcox mentioned to the historical society that the true value of the tapes is not true history, but are better served through stories and experiences. “It's a living feeling of being there as you talk to these people,” said Wilcox. “Let them ramble on to personal episodes and, in their own words, let you feel with them. You live back with their good limes and their bad times, their laughter and their tears.” Wilcox said it was the most rewarding hobby in the world to actually sit and visit with these people of past generations who were old and yet who remember so vividly the stories of their youth. "You will never know how much these older people know and wish to share with you until you start to visit with them," said Wilcox. “It is a priceless heritage not to be missed." The next meeting of the Barry County Historical Society will be October 22 with the annual dinner meeting at the Midvilla Inn in Middleville. Presbyterian woman hold retreat at Y Camp Presbyterian women held their annual retreat at the Y Camp September 21 and 22. Over 60 women of all ages participated in all or part of the event, which began with a cooperative dinner on Tuesday, and included breakfast and lunch the next day. Several stayed overnight, sleeping in front of the fireplace. The leader for both sessions was Patricia Reis from Okemos, of Reis-Voss Associates, who specializes in workshops for church people. By involving everyone in small group discussion, she introduced the topic of adult, growth stages by examining the predictable crises of adult life, based on research by Gail Sheehy described in her book "Passages". Mrs Reis overlaid this secular study with a Christian message of commitment and hope. Her secord session majored on the topic "Stress”, and included tests for determining the amount one is undergoing The women also examined their own life cycles and closed the meeting by making a commitment for growth. Mrs. Reis pointed out that only half of a women's life involves raising children, so even if she chooses not to pursue a career during that period, she still has another half a lifetime to consider. “Women, make use of all of your life, what are you doing with your life?". She also emphasizes that, almost certainiy, each women should realize she will end up alone and taking care of herself. Carolyn Coleman was chairman of the retreat. Also, on the committee were Alice Bradley, Sandy Jones, Debbie Storms and Can-’ Vos.

Whatever the reason, it is bound to disrupt the lives of all concerned: for example, if your children have to attend a new school as a result. Trying to inform everyone of the move and ’apting to new surroundings can be chaotic indeed. However, the one element in your life that should not change is your faith, for it can be a stabilizing force during this hectic time. So if possible, continue to attend your House of Worship. If not, find one in your new location that will meet your spiritual needs Above all, remember that the love of God will follow you and remain with you, wherever you may happen to be. Helene F.

September 29, 1982 Page 5 County board debates millage levy Without taking action, the Barry County Board of Commissioners debated. Tuesday. whether to levy 5.87 mills as last year or to ai'ow the millage to fall back to 5.46 mills, which would provide the same income as last year. Complying with the state s new truth-intaxation laws, the board opened its regular meeting with a public hearing on what millage to levy. The 5.87 mills raised approximately $2,221,321 last year, from property with a state equalized valuation (SEVi of $378 million. Because the (SEV) rose to $407 million, the same millage levy would bring the county approximately $2.4 million, or some $170,000 more than last year. The new state laws require that a public hearing be held to increase the revenue, even if the millage levy is the same as the previous year The increase would amount to 40 cents per thousand dollars. A house assessed at $20,000 would show an increase of $8. Several people attended the meeting and no one spoke in favor of the increase. "I can't understand with the economy being the way it is. why this is being brought up now. Ken Polfer of Hope Township said. William Schantz, former Maple Grove Township supervisor, was also against the increase. "On the average farm prices are the lowest they've been in ten years and mv assessment was raised $3,000 last year.” he said. Chairman Kenneth Radant said at the close of the hearing that no action would be taken today, the hearing was held for public comment only. Commissioners voted 7-3 to sign a joint economic development agreement with the city and to match the >500 sum set aside by the city council. Voting against it were Olis Hermenitl. Ed Danieis and Richard Landon. The city approved the agreement two weeks ago. The pact would set up a five member commission, with two people ap­ pointed from the county board, two from the city council and one from the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce. In other business the commissioners will meet with the Calhoun County Board of Commissioners and John Martinoff. director of Mid-County Employment and Training Consortium, on Oct. 6 in Albion for an update on the CETA federal jobs program. Commissioners learned that a a Substance Abuse Workshop Clinic will be held at Pennock Hospital on Oct. 7. Jack Holden reported that $1,963,891.48 was spent on Barry County veterans in the last year. Holden also requested permission for a Navy recruiter to use his office one day a week. The request was sent to committee for further study Commissioner Paul Kiel reported that a request for an opinion from the prosecutor on whether or not a county agency can hire a self-employed professional as a consultant. Judy Hughes requested that a third secretary be hired for her office due to “the tremendous growth of the workload in the last three years." Hughes pointed out that the salary of Jeanne Maxon, the support secretary in her office, is funded 100 percent by the state Hughes said she would asked the Depart ment of Social Services to pick up 40 percent of the salary for the new secretary because of a reciprocal agreement. Commissioner Kiel reminded the board that they had previously frozen all jobs in the county. "I know of no department in which a new position has been created,” Kiel said. The matter was referred to the judicial services committee. Kiel is chairman of the board's personnel committee. Commissioners voted 8-2 to allow the Parks Commission to remove anything they want from the Stamm Building within the next 60 days. Ruth Higgs of Prairieville Township spoke to the commissioners about the poor con­ dition of Center St. in Prairieville. She asked to have necessary repairs made. Mrs. Higgs said she had gone to the Prairieville Township board, which told her to go to the Road Commission and the Road Commission sent her to the commissioners. Ron Lear reported that the repair cost would be $8,800. Commissioners told Mrs. Higgs that they had given the road com­ mission $60,(XX) to date. "We're going to have to put some priorities on the roads." Mrs. Higgs said. Robert Shafer, environmental health director, presented the new nuisance code for Barry County. Nuisance is defined as any condition or activity which threatens the health of the public, something that causes death, illness or harm. There will be a public hearing in Eaton County on Oct. 14. Th', code must then be adopted by the Board of Health. Shafer said, “We had a code, but it was not very effective." Loyalists rally ’round Republicans Rep. Paul Hilligonds, seeking election in the 92nd District. Dick Headlee gives his pledge to Republicans to work for the nomination. Rep. Robert Welborn, running for the state senate in the 13th District. by Robert J. Johnston Bob Bender, candidate for state representative in the 88!h District. It was no place for a Democrat to raise his hand. Richard Headlee blasted Rep. James Blanchard. Phillip Ruppe lambasted Sen. Donald Reigle. Reigle didn't stand up too well under the words of Rep. Hal Sawyer, either. And L. Brooks Patterson had no good words for Attorney General Frank Kelley. On it went as Republican candidates for stale and federal offices rallied their loyal supporters around the party flag and urged them on to victory in November. "The issues are jobs, taxes and leader­ ship," Headlee. the candidate for governor, said. "This is a watershed year for politics in this state and this nation." Headlee called for support of President Reagan's economic program, which he claimed had inflation under control and was reducing interest rates. “People are going to be able to buy cars and houses and turn this thing around after 30 years of deficit spending.” he said. Lake Odessa official elected to Michigan Municipal League Frank R. Pascarella, Lake Odessa village manager, is one of six elected to three-year terms on the Michigan Municipal League Board of Trustees. Selection was made at a Sept. 17 meeting at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island. Pascarella has been city manager of Lake Odessa since 1978. In 1973 he gained attention as the youngest councilman in the downriver area when he was elected as a Southgate coucilman at the age of 20. He was reelected to two more terms on the Southgate City Council before resigning to accept his present position. He is a member of the International City Management Association and the American Society for Public Administration and serves on the league's employee relations committee. The Michigan Municipal League, organized in 1899, has a membership of 471 cities and villages throughout Michigan. According to a league news release, the organization “is dedicated to the ad­ vancement of home rule, and to the im­ provement" of municipal government through cooperative effort." Be sure and read the Banner BUSINESS DIRECTORY which appears on page 10. Ruppe. a former Upper Penninsula congressman running f 'r the senate, claimed that Reigle would not face him in debates because he “can't get up by himself. He has to answer for his record." "Here’s a guy whose literature says he has a commitment to reducing the deficit,” Ruppe said of Riegle. "but where is it if he's not cutting spending or raising taxes.” Ruppe claimed that Riegle had introduced four bills to aid the automobile industry, but has not yet been able to get his colleagues to h Id hearings on them. Ruppe said that one of Riegle's campaign claims in 1976 was that he would increase the federal dollars coming into the state, which at that time were $5 billion less than those paid out. Now. Ruppe said, the slate still ranks last on the list, paying out $7 billion more than is returned. “If we get the record out in public and make him defend it," Ruppe said, "we’ll win that election." Sawyer, rtinning against State Sen. Stephen‘Monsma, said that the Fifth District congressional race has been close on off-year elections, but strong wins for Republicans in presidential years. "We really haven’t had a clean win in a congressional race in an off-year," he said. He said that the UAW has a “superb mechanism" for getting out the vote, which makes it hard to beat the Democrats on off years. Sawyer also criticized Riegle and said that he works with a senator from Wyoming when lie wants things done in the senate. Rep. Paul Hillegonds called for support of Barry’ County's Bob Bender in the 88th District state house race. Hillegons said the most important vote in the legislature is the vote for the speaker of the house, which is cast along party lines. "We need a Republican majority,” he said, "wo need people like Bob Bender.” Hillegonds is running in the 92nd District, which now includes Thornapple and Yankee Springs Townships. "I’m running against a Democrat that’s working hard to sound more like a Republican than a Democrat," Bender said of his opponent. Bob Edwards.

Strickland and Ford met at a reception at the home of Drs. Roman and Sophie Zaplitny in Battle Creek held for Third District Republican congressional candidate Richard Milliman.

Kevin Brodbeck has now returned to work after being injured in a farm accident a few weeks ago. The accident occurred while he and some other men were loading a silo on his farm. Many Woodland people were among the approximately two hundred who walked in the CROP walk that started and er.ued at Lakewood High School last Sunday. Twentyfour of them were from Zion 1 utheran Church, and the eldest of those from Zion by Catherine Lucas was Richard Brodbeck. That entire group returned to the church after the walk for sloppy joe sandwiches that had been prepared for them by Mary Smith and other women of the church The Zion Lutheran group contributed over $550 to the fund with their pledges Richard Brodbeck was the collector of the greatest amount of pledges ior the group from Zion Lutheran. The last people who left the high school were from Woodland. They were Mrs. Josephine Laycock who look two of her great-nephews on the walk. Jethro Wise and Roy Wise. Roy is four years old; so Mrs. Laycock and Jethro pulled a large wagon, and Roy was able to ride when he got tired.

The dinner will be held at the Woodland Lions Den on Tuesday, October 19. Al that time, a drawing will be Age isn’t the only criteria in post card collecting, but it is important in determining the value of a card. I’ll try to point out some pitfalls for casual or novice collectors. Old post cards have been and still are being reproduced, and while they aren’t a problem for advanced collectors who have handled thousands of cards, some buyers are confused by them. Old transportation postals, especially airships and early airplanes, are scarce and expensive, so this is an area where there have been many reproductions. Here are a few suggestions for spotting the new issues of old cards: Ask the dealer. Most will tell you the truth if you ask. even those who won’t volunteer the information. Beware of spectacular bargains. Few dealers are naive enough to sell a $10.00 card for $1.00. . Examine the back of the card. Buying the picture isn't enough. Many recent American reproductions have addresses with zip codes. On some, the back is too stark white. Stamps, postmarks, messages, and slightly worn corners are other clues. Wilsons receive award for outstanding 4-H work Lorna and Earl Wilson of Nashville have been recognized for their outstanding work in the 4-H livestock program. The Wilsons were each presented plaques of honor at the recent 4-H and FFA Livestock Appreciation Banquet at the community building in Hastings. The husband and wife team were feted for 10 years of making outstanding contributions to the 4-H program, which includes livestock sales and the annual banquet.

Ethlyn Burkle’s 90th birthday will be celebrated with a community potluck dinner party at Zion Lutheran Church on Sunday. October 10, at noon. Ethlyn now resides at Provincial House in Hastings. Everyone who wants to wish Ethlyn a happy 90th birthday is welcome. Woodland United Methodist Church An­ nual Fall Festival co-chairpersons, Jean Potter and Jean Schwarling. have finalized plans for the festival to be held Friday. October 22 at the church. Booths will include a Christmas booth, a yarn shop which will sell knitted and crocheted items, green thumb shop, arts and crafts booth, a bake shop, a second-time-around shop, and a candy and popcorn booth. The booths will open at 9:30 a.m. Two meals will be served: the noon meal, from 11:30 a.m. to) p.m.; and an evening meal of roast beef and salad bar from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Consider the quality of the printing. There's no hard and fast rule here, but some of the reproductions, notably those of air­ ships. famous fires, and world shaking disasters, are rather dark and smudgy. Comparea suspicious card with others of the same era and type. Look at the paper. Many early cards used a fairly heavy grade of cardboard, with one notable exception being the World War I French cards. French cards of this era usually had pale colored or shaded backs, not stark white. A shiny chrome-like surface on a card that isn't a real photograph can also be suspicious. Reproductions aren't a major problem in post card collecting because most old cards have their own special texture, smell, weight, or, if you will, aura. Knowing that reproductions exist and are making their way into many dealer's stock is the most important safeguard. Among the trickier reproductions are those done by ’The House of David' in Benton Harbor, Michigan. Once a thriving religious colony with a baseball team, a cannery, and an amusement park among their many in­ terests. they sold countless post cards in the early 1900s at the park souvenir stand. In recent years, the remaining members, mostly elderly, had reprints made of some of their old cards and sold them at the same stand. The paper is thinner, the printing less distinct, the backs are very white, and some aren’t perfectly centered. They’re still genuine ’House of David' cards, but reprints nevertheless. The zip code appears on their address on the back. Perhaps the largest single category, of reproduced cards are Christmas greetings. Many modern companies have made copies of the old-time cards. Some are poorly printed on very cheap paper, while others are done on a modern, shiny-surfaced paper. Possibly the best old-style cards marketed in recent years are those by the Merrimack Co. of New York. These cards, printed in Hong Kong or reasonably heavy cardboard, are embossed and trimmed in gold. With the publisher’s name and zip code printed on the back, there's no reason to mistake it for old. Post cards were sn successful in the early years of the century that there have been numerous attempts to revive the elaborate ones. During World War II, the French made lovely embroidery cards like those of the early 1900s to sell to servicemen. A typical one might read “To Mother" or "To My Sweetheart". The embroidery work was done on fine muslin. A card doesn't have to be made before 1915 to be a desirable collectible. The Spanish cards made in the 1950s of machine-sewn embroidery create much interest to collectors. However, they do not carry the premium value of pre-1915 cards. Japr had a go at mechanical cards in the 1950s and 60s. the type with eyes that move or built-in squeakers. They are clearly marked on the back, "Made in Japan”. Since most early mechanical cards were made in Germany, not in Japan, they should be easy to distinguish. Deltiology, postcard collecting, has been a hobby relatively free of fraud, but the collector who learns as much as possible before buying will win out in the long run. Study the paper, the printing and the writing on the back, and invest in a good magnifying glass. Tiny copyright dates, -aint signatures and barely legible captions are easy to overlook. More often than not. a post card tells its own story. by mark I. anderson Hawaii is more than a single destination. The individual islands are so different in atmosphere and scenery that it can almost be considered a trip to several places. Oahu, where Honolulu is located, is the most commercialized of the islands. Rather than regard this fact with a negative attitude, however, think of it as the opportunity to find the widest possible variety of rccomodauons in every price range There’s also fabulous shopping, countless sightseeing attractions and the ment incredible sunsets. Hawaii is the largest of the Islands and is famous for both its spectacular orchid fields and the volcanic craters high up above Hilo Fishing is especially good on the Kona coast, known for black sand beaches Maui is called the Valley Isle and is formed between two volcanoes. The scenery is marvelous and in addition to numerous fine hot Is. Maui also has many deluxe condominium units.

First, there comes the six grains: wheat. rye, corn. oats, barley and millet. Second comes six figures - as much as $500,000 in capital outlay to produce enough cereal, pancake and muffin mix Io put Whiffle Creek Mills products in kitchens nationwide. As owner of Naturally Yours. Huizenga is no stranger to nutrition. He's already marketed what he says is "the only multi­ grain. instant hot cereal on the market”, and a pancake mix as well. However, those two products are milled and packaged out of state, especially for Whiffle Creek Mills. But Huizenga wants to bring the produc­ tion home to Hastings. And for that he’s going to need big bucks. Huizenga says he wants to start production here in a year. "Basically, the reason why we’ve started this whole thing is that we want to have a plant here." says Huizenga. "I’d like to believe that we’ll begin hiring (for production) in one year.” The idea for the products started simply enough. "The idea started when my wife and I were shopping last year in a grocery store, and I couldn’t findany nutritious, instant cereals," says Huizenga. "And my wife said to me If you’re going to complain about it. then trymaking one yourself"’. And he did. So far, he has made it to market with two products. His hot cereal comes in two flavors, apple-cinnamon and “Natural Recipe", as does his pancake mix. Coming soon will be a six-grain bread mix (just add water and pop it in the oven), a muffin mix, and next spring, a cold cereal "similar to grape nuts, but more nutritious," says Huizenga. Huizenga cites four reasons why his products are good for you: — A one-minute cook is convenient. — But cooking the grains for only a minute, less vitamins escape, making the cereal more nutritious. — The cereal’s high fiber content relieves constipations. — According to a recent government studyon cancer and nutriton, a diet high in fiber reduces the risk of cancer. Huizenga intends to carry on the "Whiffle people" tradition in his marketing strategy. “All our cereals are made by the Whiffle poeple, who live in little caves on the banks of Whiffle Creek," says Huizenga. Gary Huizenga, owner of the Hamlet of Whiffle Tree building, including Naturally Yours, hopes to begin employing people to package and market his line of cereals, breads and mixes In a year's time.

September 29. 1982 - Page b Welcome to the computer age New tech is old stuff “The mind tool” primer for beginners The following primer on computers wos written especially for the Banner by Jock Bender. Hastings High School teacher ond computer hobbyist We pub­ lish it in the hopes it will shed more light on this fast growing new technology which will likely be introduced into the high school before winter. by Jack Bender Most of the tools mon has invented have aided the body rather than the mind. Already togged, "the mind tool", computers are ready to infiltrate not only the small business, but the home and school as well. Technologies required by the military and the spece program have reduced the size ond cost of the computer, making it affordable to the average American family. In 1982. hundreds of thousands of .mic­ rocomputers will reach homes and schools. Apple. Radio Shack, Com­ modore, Atari. IBM, Texas Instruments, Sinclair ond many other brands will garner classrooms and family rooms. This brief overview is intended to acquaint the novice with the world of personal computing. Hardware Four components can serve as a useful and flexible system: The computer - this typewriter size unit contains the brains and memory of the system. The keyboard is used to enter data and programs into memory. The Monitor - A TV screen which dis­ plays text or pictorial information. The disk drive - a diskette stores infor­ mation and programs, and looks like a 45 rpm record enclosed in a flat, square envelope. The disk drive rotates the disk­ ette, locating an area on the diskette to get or store information. The printer - a device which can print to paper anything which is normally dis­ played on the screen. The cost of this system con range from $1,000 - $3,000. Other configurations can range from as little as $°9 to well over $10,000. Computers can attach accessories (peripherals); music synthesizer key­ boards, light switch/electric outlet con­ trolling devices, calculator keyboards, game paddles and switches, speech syn­ thesizers, phone communication appa­ ratus and picture plotting pens are just a few examples. Part of the definition of a computer is that it requires a program (a set of instruc­ tions) to execute a procedure. The variety of orograms (software) is rapidly increas­ ing. The information on the diskettes is formatted so Apple computers can use only Apple formatted diskettes Radio Shack computers can use only Radio Shack formatted disks, etc. A small list of software might include various general ledger programs, inven­ tory report generation, word processors, spelling correction, strategy, adventure, fantasy and shoot 'em up games, home finance, tax form preparer, mailing labels, family tree, recipes, and a variety of educational programs. Who Con Operate A Computer? Manuals of the most popular brands assume no prior computer experience. Basic concepts are introduced along with operating instructions. Most manuals have o good dose of humor. It takes three steps to load a program: 1) Place diskette in drive. 2) Close door to drive or flip lock switch. 3) Turn on computer. Programs require simple commands. Many use o menu system such as: Type letter A) Print item to screen. B) Print all items to screen. C) Print item to printer. D) Print all items to printer. Stores are supportive to patrons questions and classes are often offered for beginners. Software firms, computer companies and clubs maintain telephone hotlines for questions. Many good books and magazines exist. Certain magazines may stress hardware reviews, programming, software reviews or explain new applications. Programming Programming a computer may be re­ quired if software is not available for a specific application. The hobbyist will probably program for the sheer satisfac­ tion of the activity. Personal computer programs are often written in a high level lanquaae" called BASIC. Which of these statements seems clearest? 1) 01011101 2) 3F 3) STASOI 4) PRINT "Hell ■ There" Item 4 is written in BASIC ond is under­ standable by humans. Items 1-3 are more oriented to the computer and are considered low level. BASIC is an acronymn for "beginners all-purpose sym- According to a study by the U.S. Depart­ ment of Education, the "new technology" in the classroom, particularly with regard to computers, will be old hat to many students in the more than half of the nation’s 16.000 school districts this fall. According to the study, approximately one of every four public schools, or about 22,000, currently has at least one microcomputer or computer terminal for instructional use by students The schools represent half of all secondary schools, 14 percent of all elementary schools and 19 percent of all other types of schools, such as vocational, special education and combined elementary and secondary schools, according to the government's 1981 survey. bolic instruction code." Notice the word ' beginner". This suggests that anyone can learn BASIC. The computer follows step-by-step instructions in a program. Here is a sample computer program: 10 REM DISPLAY THE NUMBERS 20 REM 1 THROUGH TEN ON 30 REM THE SCREEN 40 REM 50 HOME: REM CLEAR THE SCREEN 60 FOR I- 1 TO 10 70 PRINT I 80 NEXT I 90 END Each of the program’s instructions has a line number, the lowest line number is executed first, the next smallest next, etc. "REM" on line 10 is a BASIC command standing for REMARK. A remark places information in the program to help humans understand the program. Without the REM in line 50 we would not understand that "HOME” erases all let­ ters from the screen, clearing the screen to black. Line 60 is a stutement which creates the famous "loop.” The variable I is set to one (1-1) in line 60. On line 70 a number 1 is printed on the screen be­ cause I equals one. tn line 60 the upper limit of the I was set at 10. In line 80, "Next I" checks to see if I is 10. I hasn't reached 10 so the computer's execution "loops" back to line 60. This loop occurs 10 times. Anything inside in the FORNEXT loop gets repeated. Line 90 stops program execution. After the program, the screen looks like this.: 2 3 8 9 10 Error! Programming errors are bound to occur, but the beginner should welcome some errors. Errors indicate thot the pro­ grammer did not understand or observe certain procedures described in the manual. When an error statement appears on the screen, the programmer goes to the glossary and looks up the possible causes of errors and the page number of the original information. Reading a paragraph again usually pro­ motes better understanding. Errors are O.K. As with life, we can leorn through our mistakes. Computers ore "dumb"; they have to be told everything to do. The program­ mers' skills in planning improve a great deal. Let's tell the computer to make a peanut-butter and jelly sandwich: 10 WALK TO THE CUPBOARD 20 OPEN THE DOOR 30 GRAB THE BREAD 40 GRAB THE PEANUT-BUTTER AND JELLY 50 WALK TO THE COUNTER 60 SPREAD THE PEANUT-BUTTER ON THE BREAD (etc.) People are poor planners, the above program is a mess! The cupboard doors are open. We didn't open the jar. We forgot a knife. We forgot the butter. The bread is in the wrapper. The computer encourages very careful planning and this attitude begins to rub off in non-computing activities, (as a side light, you'll notice our peanut­ butter program having lines 10, 20, 30, etc. We did not number the lines 1,2,3, 4. 5, 6. No matter how hard we try, we are bound to leave things out. In the pro­ gram above, we can add line 51, "unscrew lid to peanut-butter jar." No use painting ourselves into a corner.) -----------1Myiu better U11U Besides------------promoting logic and planning, working with computers en­ ----------------------------------courages us to think in new ways.

Teachers also expect to collect public domain software by sending a blank diskette to other schools. Schools often copy public domain programs and trade them, building up their own libraries. The Hastings grant proposal has some special hardware features. A graphics tablet has been included which can draw detailed charts, diagrams, pictures and models on the screen. A MODEM will capture programs, current world events information, and communications from other schools via telephone lines. A network system will tie all the computers into one large memory source and pro­ vide for common access to programs and datafiles. Eight computers do not stretch very far.

Topics covered include the history of computers, hardware and software concepts, com­ puter uses in art, music, medicine, politics (etc.), computer crime, robots, business, privacy, artificial intelligence and consumerism. Computer operation (not programming) is considered literacy as well. Programming Programming includes topics earlier mentioned such as program planning, syntax (knowing the commands and rules of the language), data structures, algorithms (common procedures which du useful work like sort, print and find information), fundamental concepts ond the vocabulary of the discipline. CAI The computer can oct as teacher, pre­ senting questions, getting, storing, ond evaluating answers and telling the student if he is correct or not.

School survey set for October 4 thru 6 Three hundred randomly selected adults in the Barry Intermediate School District will be interviewed by telephone October 4-6 in a sample survey pertaining toeducation in the Hastings and Delton-Kellogg school systems. The survey is part of a state-funded program called Project Outreach. Opinions gathered in the survey, which will be con­ ducted by trained local volunteers, will be used to help strengthen public education and serve as an educational planning tool for the next decade, according to project director Ned Hubbell. The telephone survey will be conducted between the hours of 5-9:30 p.m. during the three days. Results of the public opinion poll will be made public at a December 8 meeting of the Barry intermediate School District in Hastings and to the state board of education in January.

"Also it was a very good round for the rest of the team." �The Hastings Banner. Thursday. Septe ~>ber 29. 1982 — Page 9 Words for the Y’s Area football results Hastings 21 - Sturgis 20 Hastings built up a 21-0 lead and then had to hang on for the 21-20 win over host Sturgis. While the Saxons offense was scoring on three long first half drives of 75, 60 and 70 yards, the defense was limiting the Trojans to a total of nine first half plays. Keith Briggs, who rushed for 49 yards on 16 carries, scored Hastings first touchdown on a two-yard run. Mike Cole scored the second touchdown on a five-yard pass from Steve Conner. Bruce Martin scored the final touchdown on a one-yard plunge. He led Hastings rushers with 138 yards on 29 carries. Hastings coacn Jeff Simpson was happy with the game as he said, “I feel it was probably our best game of the year. We put things together.” The rugged Hastings defense did not allow a pass completion while surrendering 230 yards on the ground. Dan DeDecker led the defense with 14 tackles and Willie Barry added 12. Hastings upped its record to2-1 overall and 1-1 in the Twin Valley while Sturgis fell to 1-2 and 1-1. Lakewood 25 - Lowell 6 Lakewood’s offense finally put some points on the board but still fell to Lowell 25-6. The Vikings were shutout in their opening games with Hastings and Sparta, and it looked for a while like they might make it three in a row But Ken Stoepker scored on a one-yard run in the fourth quarter and Lakewood had stopped its scoreless streak at 11. Lakewood’s offense showed a little life with 114 yards through the air. The rushers, however, could only come up with 25 yards on the ground. Lowell built a 19-0 halftime lead on a 28yard run, a 57-yard pass interception and a 25-yard scoring pass. ‘‘We played better offensively ’han we have, but defensively we did not perform our best,” said Lakewood coach Tim Wood. Middleville 52 ■ Wyoming Lee 7 Jim Schipper had a field day at winiess Wyoming Lee’s expense as he scored three touchdowns and passed for a fourth in a 52-7 rout. Schipper scored first on a 10-yard run, added a second touchdown on a 62-yard punt return, and chalked up a third six-pointer via a 17-yard run. In between those escapades Schipper found time to throw a 30-yard scoring strike to Tim Lukas. The other Thornapple-Kellogg scores came on a four-yard run by Tom Barry, a 34yard fumble recover) by Rob Boshears, a two-yard run by Dave VanSickle and a 10yard pass from Chris Wingeir to Tim Heff­ ner. Middleville compiled 228 passing yards and 190 more on the ground. Four turnovers by Lee held their offensive output down to 137 total yards. Individually, Schipper passed 13 times completing 10, and rushed three times for 45 more yards. Barry rushed for 66 yards on 11 carries and Monte Sanford and VanSickle ran for 48 and 36 yards respectively. Middleville is now 2-1 and 1-1 in the con­ ference and Lee falls to 0-3. By: David Storms Y-Youlh Council Director Maple Valley 23 • Olivet 0 Maple Valley used a devastating rushing attack to beat Olivet 23-0 in a key Southern Michigan Athletic Conference game. The win gave Maple Valley a 1-0 record in the league and upped its overall record to 2-1. Olivet fell to 2-1 and 1-1. The Lions outrushed Olivet 212-87 and also racked up more passing yards, 78-19. Maple Valley coach Dan Watson said the difference in the games was in the play of his lines. ■‘The improvement of our offensive and defensive lines was about one hundred per cent,” said Watson. Tony Reid led the Maple Valley ground gainers with 121 yards on 24 carries, and scored the Lions first touchdown on a fiveyard run. Randy Joostbems passed 15-yards to Tony Dunkeiburger for Maple Valley's second score and Scott Everett added a 20-yard field goal with 34 seconds left in the first half to make the score 17-0. Joostbems went ov_r from the one in the third quarter to cap the scoring. Delton 22 ■ Kazoo Christian 21 Rick Hurdlebrink's 71-yard pass from Steve Tuin on an end-around play gave Delton a 22-21 win over KalamazooChristian. The play, which occurred with nine minutes left in the game, was capped by a two-point conversion pass from John Whitledge to Rusty Carroll. Delton tied the game 7-7 in the second quarter on a 14-yard run by Wayne Bourdo. The sophomore running back and Whitledge were both playing for the first time due to early injuries. After K-Zoo scored again to take a 14-7 lead, Whitledge connected with Tuin on a 49yard scoring strike. Jim VanHoose’s second extra point of the game tied the score again, 14-14. Christian broke the tie early in the fourth quarter with a touchdown thus setting the stage for the Hurdlebrink to Tuin bomb. Delton coach Fred Pessell said he was pleased with the balance his team showed on offense. Delton rushed for 76 yards and passed for 233 more. Hurdlebrink caught three passes for 132 yards while Tuin grabbed four for 174. Boudo led the rushers with 56 yards. Delton upped its record to 1-2 with the win. Surrounded Key matchups in area football games on Friday By Steve Vedder The fourth week of the high school football season .vill provide some key matchups, not the least of which will occur at Johnson Field in Hastings. It will be there that Hastings will entertain unbeaten and state ranked Coldwater. The Cardinals will be fresh from a 26-12 thumping of Albion, while Hastings (now 2-1 overall) is coming off a 21-20 conqest of Sturgis. Saxon coach Jeff Simpson said the win over Sturgis, only the first in five years over the Trojans, may mark a turning point in the fortunes of his team. He realizes, however, Hastings will have their work cut out from them. ‘‘They (Coldwater) are a real fine football team. The game should be up for grabs, nip’n tuck all the way," notes Simpson. ‘‘They have quite a few people back from last year so it should be interesting. We're coming off a big win and it should be a big football game for us.” Another key matchup will be the Mid­ dleville at Hamilton game. Hamilton was a pre-season pick of many to capture the OKBlue League, but stumbled last week and lost to Byron Center. Trojan coach Ray Page said the loss by no means eliminates Hamilton from the title picture. “I really think our league champion could have two losses when it's all over,” said Page, whose team had little trouble in crushing Wyoming Lee last week. "But as Sturgis eagers make Saxons fourth victim An undfeated Sturgis girls basketball team made Hastings its fourth victim of the year with a 63-47 decision on September 23. Kelly Mogg's 20 points led Hastings before Lakewood tacklers surround a Lowell ballcarrier in action last week. Lake­ wood will be looking for win number one Friday night when they travel to Green- she fouled out in the fourth period. She edded a team high 12 rebounds. Rounding out the Hastings scoring were Teresa Maurer who chipped in 10 points, Jackie Jaynes who scored six points, Paula Atkinson and Lori Teunessen who scored four poii ts each and Karen Williams two points. Sturgis broke open a close game in the third period as they outscored the Saxons 1610. The Trojans had led only 30-27 at the half. Sturgis outpointed Hastings 17-9 in the final quarter for the final score of 63-47. “We got in early foul trouble and had to adjust our game plan," said Hastings coach Pat Purgiel. “Even though we lost we hustled and worked hard to the end.” Hastings wound up having two girls, in­ cluding Mogg, foul out, while three other girls finished with four fouls. Hastily i is now 4-1 overall and 2-1 in the Twin Valley. Hastings jayvee team beat Sturgis 51-50. far as this game, it’ll be real tough for us. Hamilton throws the ball very well.” Jim Schipper was a one-man wrecking crew in that game for Thornapple-Kellogg as he scored three toucltdowns and passed for a fourth. Another key area ballgame on Friday features improved Delton (1-2) at Kalamazoo Hackett. The Panthers finally had running back Wayne Bourdo and quarterback John Whitiedge healthy for the first time all year, and Delton’s offense responded with 22 points. "We got our work cut out for us,” said Delton coach Fred Pessell, speaking of the contest with always-tough Hackett. "We need to keep improving our defense and our offensive blocking and we'll be okay.” Maple Valley, a 23-0 winner over Olivet a week ago, will face another stiff test Friday when they invade Bellevue. The Broncos Lion coach Dan Watson said of the Broncos, "It’s no mistake they've won two games. If we go there to play ball we’ll win. But we have to play hard." The fifth area team, Ixikewood, will be looking for its first win Friday when they travel to Greenville, last year's defending Tri-River League co-champions. Lakewood coach Tim Wood said Greenville has a healthy number of returning let­ termen, and will probably be the biggest team in size the Vikings will play. Wood said the Greenville team will employ a power running attack with two tight ends and a fullhouse backfield. “They run right at you," said Wood. "We’ll just try to play good defense and on offense we'll try to air the ball out." Outdoor Report; YELLOW JACKETS Fall is a time for hornets. They are most numerous this time of year. They also no longer have any responsibilities to the hive and spend al) of their time wondering about storing fat and searching for a place to hibernate. Yellow jackets are the most fearsome to man of the hornets. Unlike bees, they can sting repeatedly, they are also more likely to sling when disturbed or when a person ap­ proaches their nest. The European yellow jacket is particularly aggressive. They can nest in holes in the ground, however they also favor buildings as nesting areas. Hornets use meat as their protein source while bees use pollen. It is not uncommon to find a yellow jacket at your barbecue in the fall. Attempts to scare the hornet away are often rewarded with a sting. Slow motions are more effective in en­ couraging the hornets to go elswhere. Hastings Athletic Boosters to meet The Hastings Athletic Boosters will meet October 4,7:30 p.m. in the Vocal Music room at the high school. Mulberry Fore tourney winners Laura Oom (20) has her shot blocked in a recent game against Jackson North­ west. Looking on is Kelly Mogg (40) of Hastings.

(Maple Valley New* photo by Su*an Hinckley) RIDERS ON THE WIND Young spiders disperse in the fall to find new homes where they will spend their lives. They do this by "spinning” a long web filament into the wind. This filament acts like a parachute carrying the young spider along. When the filament strikes an object, the young spider can either spin a new filament or lake up residence where he has landed. Many of these "parachutes" are left behind in the woods. They are amazingly strong for their size and may persist for days. In the early morning, they can easily be seen because dew collects in droplets along the filament. Such early morning pictures against a fall backdrop of green, red and yellow are a photographer's delight.

Two hole-in-one records at Gun Ridge Golf Course David Dean of Hastings recently sank a hole-in-one on the par-three, 140-yard, number six hole at Gun Ridge Golf Course. It was the second hole-in-one of the season for Dean, who had played golf for 30 years without an ace prior to this year. His most recent ace was witnessed by Darrell Dean of Hastings and Bill Lord of Grand Rapids. Joseph Pearson of Otsego also holed the par-three, MO-yard, number six hole at the Gun Ridge Golf Course. Pearson has been playing golf for two years and it was his first ever ace. The shot was witnessed by Bill Fitzpatrick of Plainwell. Comp-ujock and the boss Last week Comp-u-Jock hit on only three of five predictions and the boss isn’t happy. In fact, the boss is so upset he’s questioning Comp-u-Jock's method of madness* in picking the game's outscomes. The boss suspects the obviously unsuccessful method employed by CJ in picking the winners might actually be as simple as a flip of the coin. CJ's job is on the line as we listen in on the conversation. Boss I’ll get right to the point CJ. The problem is we’re just not happy with your work and we've got a chance to hire Jimmy the Greek away from CBS. Now, I don’t know if we’re going to do it or not and that's why you're here. We’ll give you a chance to defend yourself. CJ Defend mvself? Boss Yes CJ, 1 want you to tell me your system of picking the football winners each week. And I warn you, CJ, if I don’t like what I hear Jimmy the Greek will be helping you clean out your desk. CJ (obviously not intimidated) Jimmy the Greek can’t hold a candle to my infinite sporting wisdom. In fact, I hear Phyllis George tells him all he knows. Boss Don’t try to sidestep me, CJ. I want to know how you pick the winners. Or, in your case, how you don’t pick the winners. CJ Okay, okay, I’ll tell you. Just keep it under your Stetson First of all I look at what the team did the previous week. I look at who they played and how they played. Boss How does that make a difference? CJ (wondering how this man ever got to be the boss, and why CJ himself is only the employee) Isn't it obvious? The tougher of team you play, the harder it is to win. That’s the first thing I look at. Boss What else? CJ Well, of course it matters where you play too, you know. It’s tough for youngsters that are only 17 or 18 years old to go to school all day, ride a bus for an hour or so, and play football in a surrounding they’ve never even seen before. It all tends to make them a little more nervous than if they were playing at home. Boss Anything else? CJ Yes, as a matter of fact, there is a little more. CJ I also lode at injuries. It's tough for any team to win if half its people are hurt. Boss Anything else, oh mighty prognosticator that is about to be fired? CJ There is one other thing that all talented sportswriters do in predicting games. (CJ reaches in his pocket and pulls out a coin) I flip this. boss. Boss (He reaches for the phone and dials a number.) Hello, CBS? Is Jimmy the Greek there?

Drive Chairman Larry Ainslie expressed confidence that the Hastings area can support the drive to raise Si 11.175 "even when times are tough." Ainslie said this year’s goal represents a Keynote speaker Howard Frost five percent increase over the amount collected last year. We re only talking about an increase of live cents on every dollar contributed." he said, calling the campaign realistic. Steve Loftus, vice president of the com munity fund board, also spoke on a positive note based on his experience as a 14-year board member. program survived during the Great Depression. In 1933. everyone was broke. Alien Johnson of the Hastings Manufacturing Co. Iiad a solution, he said "Contributions were scarce and we couldn't pay our Y director, Dan Angell. Mr •Johnson gave me a post dated check to the Y for Sl.i.oo He «Johnson» said, please see Col Tyden and Marsh Cook, editor of the Banner. They will ask you how much 1 gave and show them the check and they will match it. Sure enough they did. with the stipulation •hat no funds were to be asked from the public. This was appreciated to cover a one­ time emergency. However, in the long run. broad community support was needed." Frost said. He also traced the contributions of the city and schools over the years. For a brief lime the local Y was combined Drive Chairman Larry Ainslie Volunteer workers attended a Wednesday kick-off breakfast for the 1982 Has­ tings Area Community Fund's United Fund Drive. (Bonner photo; Police vow to get tough with local rowdies Hastings Chief of Police Mark Sleinfort says local law enforcement officials are going to "get tough" with late-night disor­ derly persons in the downtown area. From now on. says Steinfort. anyone arrested downtown for "being a disorderly person in any way. shape or form" w ill go to jail and must bond out In the past, many of those individuals were released soon after their arrest on personal recognizance. Sleinfort says the "straw that broke the camel's back" was the spraypainting of obsceneties two weeks ago on shop windows and walls. "Personal appearance tickets aie not working." says Stcinfurl. Common, now jailable olfenses include open intoxicants in car. consuming alcohol in public, creating a contention and disturbing the peace, according toSteinfort. He says all these offenses are still classed as misdemeanors, but Dial misdemeanors carry a maximum penalty of 90 days in jail and a $100 fine. "A lot of concerned citizens and businesspeople want us to enforce curfew laws," says Steinfort. "however, most loitering ordinances have been found tm constitutional." "It's one-half of one percent of the com­ munity that makes it bad for everyone else," says Steinfort. adding "Most of the people out wandering the streets at 2 a m., in my opinion, are mentally and socially malad­ justed." "People who stand and loiter at all hours of night are only hu-ting this community, and the businesses in it." Though Steinfort vows a crackdown on those arrested, he says his department will not be able to step up patrol in the downtow n area “We just don’t have the staff available for that.” he says. "I've seen changes over those years — everything from strikes, recessions, prosperity, and whatever you warn to call today's economic conditions. "Even year there are a new set of problems to face." Loftus said. "With desire, ability, and the hard work of the community ol Hastings we have been able to raise our goal, and this year should be no exception. Keynote speaker Howard Frost traced the origin of the Community fund back to 1916 when "a few citizens got together, raised some funds and hired a YMCA secretary and a part time scout master. "By 1930. the Boy Scout program Iiad been dropped and the Y secretary spent a good deal of his time asking for donations.” he said. Frost also spoke about how the local Y Hastings some t in requests for a copy. In some form, this 'the original Hastings) policy h'ts been adopted by many funds in small and medium-sized communities." he said. "Now all this history is fine, but without your action today it is meaningless. Over the years, starting w ith just a few and now many volunteers like you here today have put real meaning into our slogan It works for all of us." Frost concluded Drive (o-chairman is Duane Bower. Assisting in the drive as division chairmen are LaVerne BeBeau. schools; James Veldman. commercial and retail services; Harold Lewis, industrial; Richard Luughrin. professional Michael Smith, retail; and Wade Nitz, public agencies. Division goals for the drive are: Industrial $60,000 Reta>l 6.000 Public agencies 7 000 Schools 11500 Residential 5’175 Professional 6'soo Comm, and Retail Serv 15.000 The drive goal is only 4.8 percent above last year’s collections of $106,036. The money collected will be split among 11 agencies as follows: Boy Scouts $13,650 Camp Fire 7 350 Girl Scouts 2,600 Youth Council 15,774 YMCA 34,382 4-H 70() Red Cross 12,075 Salvation Army 3 350 Fam. and Child Serv. 7340 United Way of Mich. 5’316 Big Bros.-Sisters 3’150 Expenses 3.500. A one year grant of $2,178 will be given to the Barry County Commission on Aging 11 the goal is reached, Banner Devoted to the Interests of Barry County Since 1856 Vol. 127, No. 39 with Eaton County when Frost became Y treasurer in 1934. "But it didn't work out as the Y .secretary spent too much time on the road trying to secure effective local leaders and the public just didn’t seem many results So we re-organized into the Barry County YMCA." he said. Frost credits Florence Gross, Col. Tyden’s daughter, for making the Hastings Area Community Fund the success that it is today Mrs. Gross became interested m the financial problems of the Y and in 1936 she spearheaded the formation of a Barry County Community Chest. "At this lime funds were raised for youth programs only (YMCA. Boy Scouts. Camp­ fire Girls). The city, by charter, was not set up to sponsor recreational programs, so we organized a city agency, the Hastings Youth Council and later improved the set-up in the new city charier." said Frost, adding that the activities were consolidated to include the Hastings school district. "Florence has been very active in our fund for many years and deserves most of the credit fcr our success." said Frost. During his historical address, he also praised Bob king, hired as Y-director in 1946, and his "top notch successor. Dave Storms. Frost spoke of the unique arrangement other areas have followed when the Hastings community fund joined the United Way of Michigan about 1950. "We made the provision that all budgets for the local youth agencies must be met by 100 percent before funds are transferred to the state organizations," he saiu. Frost explained the reason for the arrangement was to protect contract obligations (which cannot be met from any other source) of the local agency. "This policy has received national publicity and at last count we have received Hastings, Michigan Price 20c Thursday, October 7,1982 Injured man files suit in Delton explosion A Delton man who was burned over 40 percent of his body in an apartment ex­ plosion, Mar. 5, lias filed suit against the owner of Brown's Inn. formerly located at 709 S. Grove St., Delton. The explosion which injured Thomas A. Griffin, 23. now of Hastings, levelled most of the group of six apartments in the converted motel. Derrick Edward Allen, 2, who was living with his parents. Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Allen, in another apartment was killed in the blast. Also severely injured was Debra Fisher. 25. who remains in a body cast. Griffin filed suit against Robert and Jeanette Branch, now of Vicksburg, for negligence, breach of covenants in his lease and failure to warn him of danger. The State Fire Marshal concluded that the explosion was caused by a propane gas leak, but did not reach final determination on the specific location of the leak or what ignited the gas.

Paul Standler, Dan DeDecker Griffin's suit, filed by attorney Ralph Wilbur of Hastings, said he suffered severe burns to his face. neck, back, chest, arms, hands, legs and buttocks and suffered various other injuries. He also charged that his property was severely damaged in the explosion, fire and collapse of the apartment and much of his property was never recovered. His suit said that he was required to un­ dergo prolonged medical care, treatment and therapy and has been left with severe and permanent scarring, has incurred past and will incur future loss of earnings, has incurred past and will incur future sizeable medical and hospital expenses, has endured and continues to endure severe physical pain and mental suffering and will have future pain and suffering, lias suffered a cur­ tailment of recreational activities, suffers from headaches and his skin is tender and cuts easily where he was burned. Griffin s suit contends that the Branches failed to maintain and control the heating system in a proper and safe manner. He said they failed to inspect or to have the heating system attended by properly trained and certified personnel "despite the fact that (they) knew, or should have known, of reported gas leaks in the system." The suit says that the Branches were negligent in installing and-or repairing the heating system by using defective and inadequate materials, equipment and supplies in repair and installation: failed to properly and sufficiently tighten the pipes, joints and connections to prevent leakage, failed to use or apply at the joints and con­ nections proper anti-leak material for in­ sulation and prevention of the escape of gas. used incompetent and inexperienced people to make the repairs and installation, and failed to use any plan or design to insure the safety of the system.

Wilbur said that Griffin's medical bills have exceeded $20,000. Wilbur said has also been retained by Debra Fisher, but no suit has been filed because she is still under treatment and the extent of her permanent damages cannot be determined.

United Way •of Hastings Unibed way �The Hastings Banner. Thursday. October 7. 1982 - Page 2 It’ll be a severe and snowier winter here, predicts Farmers Almanac What is yellow and black. 191 years old. and predicts hurricanes, thunderstorms and sunny, summer afternoons with a historical accuracy rale of 80 percent? It is "The Old Farmers Almanac." America’s longest-lived, continuously published periodical. Daily astronomical information has been the backbone of the almanac since it was first published when George Washington was president It’s predictions of weather have been jxipular topics of conversation for generations. What words of weather wisdom does the almanac s latest edition contain for Barn County this winter? If you believe in the almanac's predictions, you might want to ask for lots of warm clothing for Christmas and maybe some skis or even snowshoes. The almanac is predicting a winter for Chicago and the southern Great Lakes area that will be “quite severe and much snowier than usual" once the pages of the calendar flip to 1983. “Persistent cold in January should bring severe winter conditions, with aboveaverage snowfall despite below-average precipitation. February is expected to be cloudier, warmer, and snowier than usual, but a return to more wintry conditions is anticipated for March Spring may lx? quite cool. " — so says the almanac. For those who say Bah. Humbug! John Scott, director of public relations for the almanac publisher, likes to remind folks that last April, the almanac predicted snow for the East in April. Snow in April? In fact, there was a foot's worth. However. Scott says, “that doesn’t com­ pare to the time, in 1816. when The Old Farmer s Almanac predicted snow in July! And. sure enough, it snowed, the result of a volcanic eruption in Java. The folksy almanac for 1983 includes much more than weather predictions for 16 regions of the United States. You can read about the history of many holidays and scour the special farmer’s calendar, astronomical tables, charts for tides and eclipses, etc. After you’ve done that, there arc prize winning recipes to try plus an article that devulges “Every Good Cook’s Secret Ingredient." The almanac also offers some hints on getting rid of common stains and tips to help you fall asleep faster - like trying as hard as New officers take posts on Barry Cancer Society Board A variety of new and traditional activities are being planned for 1982-83 by the new board of the Barry County Unit of the American Cancer Society. The group held its first meeting of the season September 28 in the conference room at Pennock Hospital. Special events on the year's agenda in­ clude a Bowl Down, a new activity, which will be held from October 15-24; the annual Smoke-out on November 18; a Daffodil Day, another new event, in the spring; a spring garage sale, and the second annual Bingo benefit in early summer. Golfers will get a chance in '83 to help the local cancer unit by participating in the third annual Walter Hagen Golf Tournament and an extra feature, the Babe Zaharias Tour­ nament, for women. The Barry cancer society unit is currently in the process of sponsoring an “I Can Cope" program for cancer patients, their families, and friends. The unit plans to continue the program as long as there is a need. The 1982-83 local Cancer Crusade Goal has been set at $28,000 and the door-to-door crusade will kike place in the spring. Virginia Alles of Algonquin Lake is the new president of the county cancer unit and also serves as public information chairman. She said the local board “would like to give a special thanks to all the volunteers and the people who responded to "Cancer Prevention Study II." The study was a recent county research project in conjunction with a nationwide effort to survey one million people with a goal of obtaining knowledge that will hopefully help find the causes and a prevention for cancer. “The survey was very well received throughout the county and the time and in­ terest of participants is truly appreciated." said Mrs. Alles.

Hastings City Police last week arrested four people for illegal entry of the historic Striker house. Carol Ann Cook, 17, 220 S. Broadway. Joel Dean Fulford, 17, 1215 Robinwood, and Rae Lynn Strotheide. 17. 118 E. Center, all plead guilty to illegal entry. A fourth suspect, a minor, was turned over to juvenile authorities. Mark Steinfort. Hastings chief of police, says this is the first time in about six months that the silent observer line has been used. He said this particular tip will net the caller $50. Steinfort urges that individual to call the city police department, and give his or her indent ifying number so that the award may lx? claimed. Steinfort says there is “a couple thousand dollars” in the silent observer fund, but that not enough people know about the program to take advantage of it. ' People know that crimes are happening," says Steinfort." He adds that Silent observer is a way of getting information to police about crimes that are happening. Three new members elected to the Barry County Fair Board Three new members, all from Hastings, have been elected to serve three-year terms on the Barry County Agricultural Society board, commonly known as the fair board Elected to the nine-member board Monday were Mary Pennock.

Skills learned through projects will last a lifetime and that’s why this year’s 4-H theme is called “Pathways to the Future.” The 724 4-H members in Barry County and their leaders are observing National 4-H Week. October 3-9. Local 4-H Youth agent Kathy Walters points out that there are projects that members may tackle on an individual basis or as a club. Individual projects can range from sewing to ecology and club projects include activities like barrel painting and fair booth competition. 4-Hers are elibible for many opportunities including Exploration Days at Michigan Stale University, Washington DC. Trips, scholarships and awards. Kathy stresses that 4-H is no longer just a rural oriented club. In fact, the majority of Barry 4-Hers. 489, live in non-rural settings. Barry County 4-H is a unique experience for all ages, from nine-year-old youth to adult volunteers.

There are quiz bowls for dairy cattle, horses, goals and judging in those areas for junior and senior divisions too. The county­ teams compete against 4-H quiz bowls from other areas. Foods are really popular among the 4-H projects and Kathy says. "You’d be amazed how many boys are involved." Sixty-eight boys are among the 245 county 4-Hers who are involved in food projects which include candy making, baking, freezing, canning, and cake decorating. The biggest project area in the county is crafts, with 500 youth involved. Animal science, the livestock projects, are always a going venture. Dairy is really strong, she says. Goals, beef, and' rabbits are popular loo. Demonstrations help develop 4-H mem­ bers and help leach others at the same time. Barry county members have even gone into state competition with demonstrations. Kathy credits developmental committees in the county for helping to add variety and strength to the project areas. One new program is a new awards program developed through the 4-H Council which will recognize youth for their ac complishments and serve as an incentive for them to set goals, said Kathy. The new awards are medals which members may seek through application based on their involvement and what they Continued on page 6 PUBLIC OPINION by Ken Reibel TODAY’S QUESTION: Computers are becoming increasingly common in all sizes of business and offices.

Alter the program Mrs Berent said the women's club involvement in crime prevention started when it implemented a slate wide coalition The forum received its first grant in June of 1980. just before she became president of the stale group "We were one of three pilot states to develop a training inannual for schools." she said. In the interview, she said the womens federation lias not adopted a resolution or a stand on the nuclear freeze issue. "I'm not so sure that we should," she said indicating that nuclear energy seems to have such potential and many hard questions should be asked before it is pushed aside. (>n the subject of volunteerism. Mrs. Berent told the Hastings audience dial women are the best volunteers. Last year women donated four billion dollars of volunteer services to communities by­ completing 70 billion volunteer hours of service, she noted. “Motivation is the key. You have to motivate yourself," she said. There is much that a woman can ac­ complish for her state, town, and herself, said. Mrs. Berent. Hastings women kick-off the season with luncheon, awards, new members A luncheon, award, introduction of new members, and the importance of Girlstown were all part of the Hastings Women’s Club’s first meeting of the season at the First United Methodist. Guest speaker Mrs. John Berent, past president of the Michigan State Federation of Women’s Club, told Hastings Women that supporting Girlstown in Bellville "is the best thing we do." (The local club sends financial donations to Girlstown and encourages each member to contribute a penny a day). Girlstown is a full treatment program for disadvantaged girls 12-18. "These are girls who never liad a chance to be like our­ selves.These are girls that nobody has ever hugged or said 1 love you . They think they are no good...One girl was even traded (by her parents) for a dog," said Mrs. Berent who is involved in the management of the agency. We help them (at Girlstown) to be a part of the community." she said. Girlstown has a 77 percent success rate in working with girls, including helping them to fit in at school and providing an in-house tutor. The average stay for a girl is six months to a year. "Women’s Clubs have a smorgasbord of things to do. but Girlstown is number one,” she said. Because of cuts in funding to private agencies, the budget at Girlstown is suf­ fering from a $35,000 shortfall this year. "I encourage you to do something special for Girlstown,’ she said. This year Mrs. Berent is serving as chairman of the environmental action committee for the General Federation of Women s Clubs. One of the projects of that committee will be working with the American paper Co. on recycling paper­ board products. Another emphasis will be on clean water and air. As one of the spokeswomen for the state federation. Mrs. Berent said she has been interviewed by Vogue magazine and the Detroit Free Press. Al the Hastings meeting, Mrs. Berent presented last year's club president Agnes Smith with a certificate of commendation “for advancing the cause of free enterprise in our community." In other business, new members Norine Jacobs and Virginia Alles were introduced and officially signed into the club. The Hastings Women s Club will hold its next meeting November 12 at Grace Lutheran Church with a program about candy making. Ball-Isaacson engagement told Agnes Smith (right), past president of the Hastings Women’s Club, receives a certificate of commendation from Darlene Berent, past president of the Michigan State Federation of Women's Club of which Hastings is a charter member.

That was one of the facts Darlene Berent of Madison Heights stressed when she spoke at the local club's first meeting of the season. Mrs. Berent. past president of the Michigan State Federation of Women’s Club, said that women’s clubs are active in 47 countries and total 10 million women. "They could do anything., they could take over the world," she laughed There are one million women just in the united states who are affiliated with the Women's Club's national organization. Women. Mrs. Berent said, have ac­ complished much. -They built Independence hall and women put a museum in at the Statute of Liberty...Women even got the white lines on the roads, she said. As far as legislation is concerned, women have been instrumental in helping establish beneficial laws that concern ford and drags, the child labor laws, and equal rights. Women are interested in working for the betterment of people, community, and family, she said. It was in 1894 that the first child labor Laws were passed in the slate, “because women said, enough is enough." Mrs. Berent told the Hastings audience that you have to "fight for what you believe in. “Improving the quality of life is the bottom line , it starts where you are. where vou’re at." There are 12.000 members in women s clubs throughout the state. ’ Women s organizations have great strength, power, and visibility ...we can use it for the good of the community ." said Mrs. Berent. "Even the DNR (Department of Natural Resources) knows that we're not just a women’s club." she told a reporter.

Stale and local candidates from all political parties and the public are being invited to attend the park’s first ‘OldFashioned Political Rally" which will in­ clude a pig roast, dancing and a bonfire. The occasion will offer an opportunity for candidates to meet and mingle with citizens in a casual and fun atmosphere according to park officials. IIighlighting the nostalgia will be an evening torch light parade of candidates around the park's village green. After dark, about 8 p m., 'he village green will glow from the light transmitted from burning torches, symbolic of rallies held long ago. ‘‘We are trying to revive the old-fashioned rallies that were held from the Civil War days to the end of the 19th century where candidates could mingle with the crowd and bring forth a non-partisan atmosphere in the community and everyone could have fun." said Edward McPharlin, park board president. The nark, a reconstructed agricultural village of the 19lh century, provides the perfect setting for the event, he said American flags will wave over the park grounds where activities will begin with a 5:30 p.m. pig roast. There is a $3.75 charge for the dinner, but admission to the park will tie free for this event.

Over uncharted oceans, determined they went To the lands that all others had missed; While the people at home never knew the extent Of the world where these places exist. With no maps to direct them, and many a qualm, They would pray for the Lord to command; And His heavenly guidance in tempest and calm Would deposit them safely on land. So, embark on your voyage and follow your star, With your faith to dispel any doubt; And when happiness finds you, wherever you are, You'll discover what life’s all about — Gloria Nowak Maurice C.

Banner photo Service set for Sunday Memorial trees to be dedicated at Charlton Park The Hastings Rotary Club planted seven trees at Charlton Park, Saturday, and will hold its first annual dedication service to the memory of deceased Rotarians and their families on Sunday. Oct. 10 at 3 p.m. The club has adopted "The Trees of Remembrance Memorial Program" in which they will plant individual trees and dedicate them in the memory of the deceased members and their families. Sunday's 30-minute program will feature the Hastings High School Brass Ensemble. Refreshments will be served following the service, which is being held for the deceased member families, friends and the general public. No admission will be charged a* the park. The first tree to be dedicated, a silver maple, will be to the memory of deceased Rotarians and family members from the beginning of the club in 1920 through 1980. This tree is larger in size than the other six trees and has its own bronze plaque mounted on a large boulder. Six sugar maple trees will be dedicated to the memory of six Rotarians or family members who have died in 1981 and 1982. A large bronze plaque with individual n"mes will be mounted on a boulder to com­ memorate those deaths. Individual trees have Leen planted for Steven Todd Clark, 1981; Walter A. (Pete) Eaton, 1981; Jill Elizabeth Jacobs, 1981* Blake C. A Herding, 1982; Florence B. Fuller 1982; and Gertrude M. Matthews. 1982. A special memorial fund has been established by the Rotarians to which con­ tributions may be made Saturday, when the trees were planted. Rev. Willard H. Curtis, a Rotary member, spoke briefly to the club members. "Eldon Trueblood, writing in the 1940's, called our civilisation a -cut-flower’ civilization in that we are enjoying and trying to maintain the fruits of our spiritual heritage; ’ Rev. Curtis said, “but we have cut ourselves off irom the roots." He said that, as with all cut-flowers, there can be only one result, death. Rev. Curtis said that Trueblood referred to the special kind of person who does not always look for the quick return, but the person who will plant a tree under whose shade he will never sit and whose fruit he will never eat. "It seems to me," he continued, "that in planting these trees we are looking in two directions — to the past, in grateful memory of friends and family members who have died, and to the future — to generations that will enjoy these trees in years to come.” Aud’s Antics Rotarians planting trees Saturday were (kneeling) Norman Barlow.

Those of us who survived the crash of '29 know only too well that it’s "survival of the fittest' times. We must tap every aspect of our ability lo keep afloat. Jusl as the “twenty niners” sold second­ hand wares and discards of the affluent, so we today are “setting up” at flea markets, having two to three yard sales a season, advertising and selling belongings we really don’t want to part with, just to "make a buck". That so many little "junke" shops and flea markets have sprung up practically over­ night selling collectibles and antiques, shows that there is always money to be made in this field. No matter tow depressed the economy, there will always be people who do have money and are looking for items of value. For them, this is the best time to buy — as others who must sacrifice their treasures are even willing to sell at prices far below their true value. The auction houses of London are booked far in advance to auction off the most desirable antiques, and full collections of the best bronzes, oriental rugs, paintings, fine porcelains, art glass, French dolls, and lovely treasures that haven’t been available to the general public in decades. Our local auctioneers and those in neigh­ boring counties are selling complete estate antiques. If one is familiar wilh the auction trend, it's clearly apparent that lovely an­ tiques rarely seen crossing the auction block are now being offered for sale to the highest bidder. As the economic climate declines, even the most desirable antiques will not realize their full price potential. There will be fewer auction buyers to contend for the prized pieces. The people who can afford lo buy will glean the most beautiful and rare items from the market. Don t think lh;.t antique dealers are "making a killing" in the business. They aren’t. They are forced to match prices wilh advanced collectors at sales and auctions to acquire antiques to re-sell. It's the collector, not the seller, who profits in depressed times. Therein lies the beauty of having collected over the years. Many people are making a profitable business by selling even modest Nutrition Site.

Darlene Niethamer is home from Blodgett Hospital in Grand Rapids after having surgery done on her leg last week. The problem was not nearly as serious as the doctors had expected, and she is recovering rapidly without the heavy cast that was anticipated. Tom and Jackie Gilliland spent last weekend on a color tour and golfing trip with Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Jackson (Norma Jean) of Sunfield. Mr. and Mrs. Jackson are associated with Centennial Acres Golf Course. The two couples played golf at West Branch Golf Club on their way to Tawas City where they spent Saturday night. They rode along the Au Sable River to enjoy the autumn color on Sunday and played golf at Houghton Lake. They visited Lumbermans Monument Park while on the trip. The tree color was not quite at its peak, but it was beautiful weather and a very enjoyable trip. collectibles, as their jobs have terminated Even more modest collectibles such as depression glass, Occupied Japan items, old Cracker Jack toys, post cards and valen­ tines, old tin and graniteware, radio give­ away premiums, old butter molds, fans, vintage clothing, movie star memorabilia and hundreds of other old collectible are eagerly sought out by people who are still working and coUecting, but who are unable to afford the type of antiques desired by the advanced collector. Many of these more modest buyers are "salting away" for their "rainy day". As recently as the 1940s and 1950s, collecting old items wasn’t in vogue. What we today consider beautiful old antique furniture, was shunned by the population and discarded for new. modern furnishings. Grandma’s round oak dining table and chairs and china cabinet were discarded to the newlyweds, who, because of limited budgets, were forced to use them until they could afford modern accouterments. The beautiful old dolls we avidly search for today were not considered collectible until the 1950s. They were either thrown away on dumps or kept packed away in an old discarded trunk in the attic. They were only considered to have sentimental value because they were grandma's playthings. Because old furniture, dolls, woolen rugs, quilts, trunks, and a multitude of other items were considered to have no real monetary value, the people of the depression era could not realize any profit from selling them as antiques, but sold them only as “second­ hand" wares to use as furnishings because they couldn't afford new ones. The “junk" men, as we used to call folks who picked the dumps for saleable items were actually the first "antique" dealers’ and didn’t even know it. They hauled discards to the dumps daily and salvaged items to re-sell for their families’ livelihood. Many junk men stored items away to keep an ample supply on hand, or kept them because they didn’t sell. Then the economy slowiy started to improve and many of these men opened their own little dingy shops known as "second-hand" stores, or "surplus” stores. They didn’t know it then, but they were actually "sitting on gold mines”. Into the early 1950s, people became weary of plastic and chrome furnishings and became aware of the beauty and stability or the beautifully carved wooden furniture and lovely old fragile, colorful glass, and used it to fill the once thought to be "ugly" tall oak china cabinets. Many of today’s most affluent families are sons and daughters of the depression era junk men. They literally lived the "rags to riches" story.

Thursday, October 7,1982 — Poge 9 Words for the Y’s Area football results Coldwater 16, Hastings 12 Coldwater's Mike Stahley scored on a nineyard run with five minutes to go in the game to give the Cardinals a narrow 16-12 win over Hastings. The loss severely hampers any chance the Saxons had of claiming the Twin Valley foothall title. Hastings now is saddled with a 1-2 league mark and are 2-2 overall. Cold­ water and Marshall are the only two schools unbeaten in Twin Valley play. Behind 8-0, Bruce Martin put Hastings on the board in the third period with a 25-yard interception return. Martin scored again on an eight-yard run in the fourth quarter to put the Hastings up 12-8 before Stahley scored the gamer with five minutes left. "We missed a lot of blocking assignments on offense that we had been executing,” said Hastings coach Jeff Simpson. "It’s just one of those things. We just didn't hold our blocks." Hastings had 104 yards rushing and 97 more through the air. Individually, Martin rushed 20 times for 61 yards, and Keith Briggs added 14 carries for 46 yards. Steve Connor hit four of 12 parses, three of which went to Joel Christensen. Dsn DeDecker led the defense with 16 tackles. Kalamazoo Hackett 12, Delton 7 Delton saw its record drop to 1-3 with a 12-7 loss to Kalamazoo-Hackett. Ted Ketten scored a pair of touchdowns on runs of three and eight yards to give the Fighting Irish a 12-0 lead and they were able to hang on for the win. Rusty Carroll scored on a three-yard run and Jim Van Hoose kicked the extra point to cut the lead to 12-7 with a minute and a half left, but Delton failed on an onside kick at­ tempt and Hackett ran out the clock. The Delton touchdown was set up by a 48yard pass play from John Whitledge to Rick Hurdlebrink. The Panthers were hurt by th,, loss of sophomore runring back Wayne Bourdo, who broke his collarbone in the second period. Delton coach Fred Pessell said that loss was one of the keys to the game. "He (Bourdo) ha J just broken off two long runs,” said Pessell. "Even though we played tough without him, we just came out short.” Delton’s offense had its problems. Panther ballcarriers could only rush for 87 yards, but the team did manage 134 yards through the air Greenville 51, Lakewood 12 Greenville showed why it is considered a Tr.-River power with a 51-12 win over Lakewood. Greenville’s high-powered offense rushed for 428 yards and hit four of five passes for 47 additional yards. The Yellow Jackets built a 26-6 halftime lead and then scored a pair of touchdowns each in the third and fourth quarter. LaKtwood's scores came in the second quarter on a 16-yard pass from Bob Offley to Steve Spetoskey, and 26-yard pass from Dave Barker to Ken Corp in the third quarter. Lakewood coach Tim Wood said he was pleased with his team's offense which passed for 143 yards and ran for 69 more. "That’s more offense than we have showed,” said Wood. "We had 192 yards against a good team and that is somewhat encouraging. "The game was learning experience for us.” The loss drops the Vikings to 0-4. Maple Valley 21, Bellevue 0 Maple Valley kept rolling with a 21-0 whitewash of Bellevue. The win upped the Lions record to 3-1 overall and 2-0 in the SMAA. Bellevue fell to 2 and 1-1. 2"1 think we played pretty well this week," said Maple Valley coach Dan Watson. "We were a little more ragged this week, we weren’t quite as sharp. But that could have been because Bellevue is a good team.” The Lions scored their first touchdown on a four-yard run by Tony Reed after John Clements had blocked a punt at the nine-yard line. Maple Valley made it 14-0 in the second quarter when Randy Joostberns passed 10 yards to Tony Dunkelburger. Reed ran for the two-point conversion. That touchdown came at the end of a 10play, 62-yard drive. The third and final Lion touchdown came early in the third quarter. Reed returned the second half kickoff 51 yards to the Bronco 34, and six plays later Reed scored from the one. Scott Everett kicked the extra point and a 210 win. Offensively, the Lions rushed for 164 yards. Reed went over the century mark for the third time with 126 yards in 20 carries. Defensively, Dunkelburger picked off two passes and made six tackles. Dan Keech also intercepted a pass and Joostberns recovered a fumble. “1 was just tickled with our defense. We've really shut teams off this year. We’ve come a long ways,” said Watson. By: David Storms Y-Youth Council Director Tail Football Game Results: ‘Racing’ By Steve Vedder Saxon harriers lose to Jackson Northwest Hastings beys and girls cross country­ teams lost to Jackson recently. The boys were defeated 18-37 while the girls lost 25-30. Cherie Bradley (25:01) finished fourth for the Hastings girls top placer. Betsie Hauschild (25:31) took fifth, Ronnie Frick (26:51), Kim Inman (27:12) finished seventh, and Nancy Hudson (27:44) took eighth for Hastings other placers.

Other Saxon placers were: Mike Shaw (19:17) sixth, Beau King (19:33) eighth, and Kevin Baum (20:09) ninth. 3 Photo by Kevin McKeough Midpoint near for high school grid season Hamilton 12, Middleville 6 Tom Smart of Hamilton scored on a twoyard run on fourth down in overtime to give Hamilton a thrilling 12-6 win over Mid­ dleville. The loss puts Thornapple-Kellogg is a tough position with a pair of OK-Blue losses against one win. Trojan coach Ray Page said his team shouldn't be counted out yet. "Everybody in the conference has lost at least once. We still have a chance,” he said. Middleville fumbled six times losing two inside the Hamilton 30-yard line. They also lost the ball a third time on downs inside the 30. “We should have put the game away early, but we didn't do it,” said Page. Dave VanSickle scored on a one-yard run to give the Trojans a 6-0 lead in the third quarter. Hamilton’s John Bikers blocked a kick and recovered it in the end zone late in the quarter to send the game into overtime. Smart's two-yard run gave Hamilton the lead in overtime, and the Hamilton defense held the Trojans for four downs to grab the win Offensively, Jim Schipper was a bright spot completing 13 of 31 passes for 130 yards. Tim Lukas caught six of those passes for 73 yards. Van Sickle led the rushers with 45 yards on nine carries. Bruce Martin (35) of Hastings races downfield with an interception against Coldwater. Martin scored a touchdown on the play and also added an eight-yard run for a score later in the game. . . „ „ „ The midpoint of the high school football season is here, and several local teams appear to have their backs to the wall. Probably the team with the toughest assignment this week is Middleville. The Trojans, coming off a crushing 12-6 overtime loss to Hamilton, face a difficult task at home against defending league-champ Kelloggsville Thornapple-Kellogg will enter the game with a 2-2 record overall and 1-2 mark in the OK-Blue. Every team in the league has at least one loss, which leads Trojan coach Ray Page to remain confident his team still lias a shot at the league crown. "We’ve still got a chance," he says. Thornapple-Kellogg fumbled six times losing the ball twice inside the Hamilton 30yard line. The Trojans lost the ball a third .time inside the 30 on downs. Lakewood is another team with a for­ midable task in front of them. They hc^t Capital Area Conference power Waverly. The Warriors have won three of four games, but are coming off an upset loss to Lansing Eastern. "They’ll probably be the best team we’ll play this year," says Lakewood coach Tim Wood. "They have a balanced attack, are extremely large, and throw very well." Lakewood currently is winless in four games this fall. Springfield is at Maple Valley in a pivotal game for the Lions. Maple Valley has never beaten the Rams. The key to the game could be how well the stingy Lion defense can contain the highpowered Ram offense. Maple Valley is coming off two straight shutouts, while Springfield scored 44 points a week ago. Lion coach Dan Watson is optimistic his team can maintain its hold on first place in the Southern Michigan Athletic Association. "It's (xir homecoming game and I think we have an edge," said Watson. In a Tw in Valley game. Hastings travels to Harper Creek to take on the hard-luck Beavers. Harper Creek was one of the pre­ season picks to win the Twin Valley, but have lost tough games to Coldwater, 8-0, and Aloion, 21-14. Hastings is 2-2 overall and 1-2 in the league. The Saxons are coming off a heartbreaking 16-12 loss to unbeaten Coldwater. "They’re a big team.” says Saxon coach Jeff Simpson of the Beaver team. “We're going to have to play some football to win. Delton en’ertains Bangor on Saturday in its homecoming game. Bangor is winless, but did almost upset Galesburg 22-20 last week. Delton coach Fred Pessell says Bangor has good speed in its backfield ar.J is big. Hastings eagers drop Cardinals Kelly Mogg scored 21 points and grabbed 11 rebounds as Hastings defeated Coldwater 56-49 on October 30. Following Mogg in scoring were Paula Atkinson's 10 poials, seven points each by Lori Teunessen and Teresa Maurer, five by Jackie Jaynes, and three each by Tammy Connor and Karen Williams. Hastings jumped off to a 16-8 first quarter lead, upped it to 28-21 al the half, and held on in the second hall. Saxon coach Pat Purgiel said the ke. to the game was the defense led by Maurer. Williams, Teunessen. and Laura Oom. ' “We played a pressure defense and we made them turn the ball over a lot,” said Purgiel. Offensively, Lori Teunessen, whom Purgiel described as his "floor leader;" hit a a clutch basket to pul the Saxons up by five points. The win ups Hastings record to 5-1 overall and 3-1 in the Twin Valley. Hastings travels to Marshall on Octobers in a key game.

Saxon eagers sock state rated Marshall Redskins Hastings took a giant leap forward in its hopes of gaining a Twin Valley basketball title on October 10 with a convincing 36-29 win over Marshall. Marshall entered the game with a perfect 8-0 record and were rated eighth and tenth in two high school basketball polls. Hastings entered the game with a 5-1 overall and 3-1 league mark. The game was a low-scoring, defensive struggle with the Redskins holding a 6-5 first quarter lead. The Saxons came back in the second quarter out. oring Marshall 10-7 to take a 1513 halftime lead. Both teams scored six points in the third quarter, but Hastings managed to take a three-point lead with about three minutes left. Il was at this point where Paula Atkinson took matters in her own hands hitting a three-point play and adding another clutch basket to give Hastings a lead they wouldn't surrender. Kelly Mogg scored 16 points and added a career high 21 rebounds to lead Hastings. Atkinson finished with 13 points. Saxon coach Pat Purgiel said the game, "was very physical with both teams beating the boards. Both teams felt the pressure and knew the intensity of the game.” Hastings was only able to hit 25 per cent (15 of 60> from the field while Marshall had trouble from the free throw line making only three of 14 shots. Simpson speaks to Rotary The guest speaker at the Hastings Rotary Club luncheon, on October 4 was Saxon footbail coach Jeff Simpson. Simpson. 31, is a Waverly High School and Michigan Slate graduate. He has spent 10 years in the Hastings system as an assistant freshman coach, head freshman coach, assistant varsity coach and now head coach. He says his coaching philosophy is simple and it includes asking his kids for discipline and sacrifice. "We just want the kids to go out and do the best they can. We’re going to be disapointed naturally if we lose, but life goes on. "We try to mold our young men into men. We want to gel them ready for life. There’s going to be setbacks and mistakes, but that is something that is going to be dealth with later in life.” Simpson told the assembled Rotarians he doesn't believe in the star system of coaching. He believes each person has a role and that role must be carried out if the team is going to win. Simpson doesn't minimize the importance of athletics in today s society. "Alhletics are an integral part of our system Douglas McArthur once said we wouldn't have won Woild War II without our athletes." said Simpson. "We strive Io teach the kids to work together and come up with something they can be proud of. That’s true of business or anything else." 6 Grades: Lions20 vs. Cowboys 14; Steelers 50 vs. Chargers 16 4 Grades: Panthers 14 vs. Michigan 6; 3Georgia 14 vs. MSU 0; and Western 26 vs. Clemson 6.

(Photo by Kevin McKeough) Hastings runners in Detroit Marathon The long list of finishers in Sunday’s ' Oct. 3) Detriot Free Press International Marathon contained the names of two Hastings runners among the top 200 finishes. The "Top 200" may not seem like much until one realizes that over 4500 runners started the 26.2 mile race and that an excess of 3700 completed it. Add to the shear size of the field, weather conditions which were far from ideal for distance running; tem­ peratures in the 70's, high humidity, and sunshine. Frank Schwartz was the first area finisher, placing 161st in a time of 2:51:27, an average pare of 6:32 per mile. Kevin Woods was not far behind, finishing 178th in time of 2:52:50, averaging 6:35 per mile. Monty Bennett, also of Hastings, completed his first marathon at the Detroit cause finishing with a time of 3:47:33 and placing 1815th. Schwartz and Woods had both sought to break the 2:50:00 barrier, thereby automatically qualifying for the prestigious Boston Marathon. Both runners were on or ahead of the pace required to break 2:50 until the latter stages of the race when the com­ bination of heat, dehydration, and fatigue began to take its toil on their stride and performance. Both runners experienced a steady deterioration in strength over the last 6.2 miles as the course took them southwest along Jefferson Avenue to Belle Isle and the finish line. Yet even in a tiring condition, both runners considerably improved their position in that last stretch. Schwartz was 240th after 20 miles and Woods 280th. They improved their positions to 161st and 178th, respectively, by the lime the race was over. The heat really extracted a price from many runners during this final phase. Tennis team places second The Hastings girls’ tennis team placed second out of eight teams at the Allegan Invitational Saturday, Sept. 25. Sturgis won the team title with 30 points. Hastings had 22; Allegan. 20; Jenison. 14; Zeeland, 124; Comstock, 10; G.R. Northview, 94; and Caledonia, 2. Kim Baxter of Hastings won th- first singles championship with wins over Nor­ thview, 6-1, 6-3; Allegan, 6-0, 64); and a fine three-set victory over Rita Rood of Sturgis in the finals, 2-6, 6-2, 6-1. Av second singles, Mary Bennett placed third. Mary defeated Jenison 6-1, 1-6, 6-2 in the first round, lost to Sturgis 6-1, 6-0 in the second round, but defeated Comstock 10-1 in the consolations. At third singles, Amy Loftus lost to Sturgis 6- 3, 6-0 in the first round but went on to win the consolation medal with wins over Caledonia, 10-0 and Comstock, 10-4. At fourth singles, Bev DeCamp lost to Zeeland 6-3, 7-6 in the first round, defeated Northview by default, and lost to Comstock 10-4 in the consolation finals. In first doubles, Sarah Yost and Priscilla Dolan placed second with wins over Allegan, 7- 6, 1-6, 6-3, and Northview, 7-5, 6-3, before losing to Sturgis 6-4, 6-4 in the finals. At second doubles, Cris Kruko and Angie Weller placed fourth, defeating Comstock 61, 6-0, then losing to Sturgis 6-2, 6-1 and Allegan, 10-6. At third doubles.

Next couple of weeks should see color at its peak. Conditions for the Bow and Arrow deer season opener were fair with warm temperatures and heavy foliage. Lake Michigan fishing was slow as well as inland lake fishing. Hunting: Waterfowl: Season opens Sunday October 10th. Check your waterfowl digest for opening hours. Biologist advise that northern flights of birds are moving in daily with an estimated 10,000 geese and about 300 ducks now using the Allegan Refuge. Should be good opener. Squirrels: Activity is starting to increase and should continue as foliage begins to fall. Both Allegan and Barry Game areas report fair success. Grouse: Success is still down, broods are now breaking up and should make them easier targets. Archery Deer: Season opened October 1st rather quietly. Over ten archers have received their successful deer patches todate. A schedule of checking locations will be announced soon, however, the Plainwell District office is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Barry Slate Game Area will check deer by appointment call Middleville 795-3280, or Crane Pond Game area 244-5928. Fishing: Due to unusual conditions salmon are appearing in several streams in Van Buren County that are classified as trout streams. Trout season on these streams closed September 30th. Several arrests have been made with fines in excess of $100.00. Inland Lake Fishing: pressure and success is fair to good. Water temperatures a little too warm at 69 to 70 degrees. Bluegills were hitting in 15 feet of water to the shore using crickets, worms and wigglers. Time of day had very little bearing on success. Big Lake Fishing: Salmon were not responding to the beautiful fall weekend but a few getting out had some success. New Buffalo: A few lake trout and an occasional chinook and steelhead were taken in 100 to 140 feet of water fishing right on the bottom. St. Joseph - Benton Harbor: Lakers were hitting in 135 to 145 feel of water down 100 feel using spoons. Some kings were showing up early morning hours off the piers casting with KO wobblers and little decs. Boats trolling on the river were returning with 3 to 5 fish. Most successful baits used were Hot-nlots and Tad Pollies. South Haven: Few chinook taken in 200 feet of waler down 90 to 100 feel using J-plugs and northport nailers. Some excellent cat­ ches of good sized perch came in 45 feet of water fishing with minnows. Saugatuck: Only catches reported were lake trout. Most success came in 120 to 130 feet of water down 90 Io 115 fefet. Other Outdoor Shorts: Still several Hunter Safely classes scheduled.

(Editor i Note) The following story on the negotia­ tion* ot Hostings Manufacturing Co. was compiled primarily from on interview with U.A.W local 138 officials Evelyn Curtis and David Tumas. Other than brief remarks quoted early in the story, company officials declined to comment on the issues. Dennis Witham director of industrial re­ lations. said rhe company may issue a news re­ lease later this week ) by Robert J. Johnston Talks have broken down between UAW Local 138 and Hastings Manufacturing Co. amid charges by the union that the company is asking for more than it needs to remain profitable. Left undecided are contract concessions which the company sought after it told the union. Aug. 23, that 150 jobs may be moved out of Hastings and possibly out of the state. David Turnes. chief negotiator for the prediction maintenance workers in the union, and Evelyn Curtis, union president, said Wednesday that they felt the company had already made many of-the decisions necessary to move the jobs. “In retrospect," Turnes said, “...(they) were negotiating to remain within the law and Io save face in the community to make it look like the union was forcing them out " Dennis Witham, director of industrial relations for the company, said the two sides discussed themselves into “an impasse situation" and there were obstacles that could not be resolved. "Major portions of their proposal were accepted," Witham said, though he would not specify what portions. "The company looked forward to ad­ ditional discussion and the union indicated they were not interested," Witham added. Talks broke off Tuesday after the union made what it called its fourth and final concession offer, which would have reduced the labor costs for union employees by 23.2 percent, according to union figures. Among the items in that offer, the officials said, were hourly wage reductions of $2.50 for all oil and air filter employees, a $1 per hour across the board cut for piston ting employees, a SI per hour cut for skilled trades employees, a $1.25 cut for office clerical employees, and a deferral of cost of living increases until Dec. 1, 1983. Hastings The union said the average hourly wage and benefit reduction would have been $4.69 per hour for production maintenance workers and $2.68 per hour for office clerical workers. The union did ask for increases in pen­ sions. a job security plan, a profit sharing plan, “equality of sacrifice" foi white collar employees and a two year contract. Turnes said the package amounted to a company savings of $3,349,072 in the first year. He said the company countered with its second proposal, which would have saved the company $4,721,900. or 32.7 percent of its labor costs. That proposal for a one year contract included no profit sharing plan, and would have effectively removed cost of living increases from the contract, he said. He also charged that other provisions of the company’s proposal would have destroyed the union's seniority system. After the two sides originally met on Aug. 23. the company presented its first proposal on Sept. 21. The union officials said that plan would have saved the company $4,241,250 in the first year and up to $5,937,500 in the second year for a total of $10,178,750. Turnes termed the proposal “ridiculous”, claiming that some workers would be cut to only four cents per hour over minimum wage. The company's original plan, union of­ ficials said, also would have opened the door for the company to do more subcontracting of wort. "The time is right for those pickings," Turnes said. "There are places out there bidding just to stay in business, not making a nickel.” Turnes added that he feels the company has been fair with the union over the years and that the union was now looking to return the good faith and fairness. Prior to that first company proposal, the union officials said that it was several weeks before they could convince the company to make the initial proposal, instead of the union. They charged that the company wouldn't give them a proposal to work from Continued on page 7 Banner Devoted to the Interests of Barry County Since 1856 Vol. 127. No. 40 Price 20c Hastings, Michigan Thursday, October 14,1983 County board votes to keep allocated millage rate the same at 5.87 mills After considerable debate, the Barry County Board of Commissioners Tuesday voted 6-5 to set the county allocated millage at 5.87 mills, the same rate as in past years. Based on the new truth in taxation act, commissioners had the option of rolling back the millage to5.47 which would have resulted in a loss of about $162,000 in lax revenue to the county. Voting in favor of a rollback were com­ missioners Otis Hcrmenitt, Richard Landon. Jack Love, Walter Soya, and Edward Daniels. Commissioners James Gordon and Paul Kiel said they were not in favor of setting the millage during the morning session before the 1983 budget was schedulted to be placed on the table in the afternoon. “How can you vote on this before you have the 1983 budget before you?" Gordon asked the board. “Until you've laid the budget on the table how can you tell what your needs are?” Questioning Gordon, Soya asked, "How are you going to know what you’ve got in the budget before you act on this truth in taxation ?” Addressing commissioners who wanted to rollback the millage rate, Kiel said, ‘There are two popular things you can talk about in an election year: reducing properly taxes and improving the roads. You cannot change property taxes until the system changes and you cannot fix roads because the money isn't there. If you cut $162,000 from the (county) budget, a lot of people are going to be hur­ ling. County Clerk Norval Thaler warned commissioners, "If you rollback, there will be an awful lot of services in this c-xmty that you have now that you won't have.” Gordon agreed, saying, “You have to look at a budget not only in terms of dollars, but in terms of services offered." The 5.87 mill figure is the same as the 1981 county allocated millage. In 1981. that amount of millage generated $2,221,321 Because of the increased State Equalized Valuation <SEV) of county property this year, the 5.87 mills would yield $2,391,683. Later in the meeting, Gordon, who serves as finance chairman presented the oroposed 1983 budget which was placed on the table. The budget has a tentative total of $4,173,674 in expenditures. In presenting the budget to the board. Gordon said that it does not contain salary increases (just maintains regular step in­ creases) or revenue for new positions. He said the proposed budget does not contain funds for additional county vehicles or equipment, but allows an additional $10,000 for the road commission. Gordon also pointed out that revenue sharing is down about $75,000 from las’, year. He also warned the board that this is merely a proposed budget. “Do not take these figures as absolute," he said. After presenting the budget, Gordon asked, “Where in this proposed budget do you want to cut $162,000 dollars. Commissioner Landon replied "I don't care where we cut the $162,000 from. Commissioner Hcrmenitt said he could see where $162,000 could be cut from the budget, but when Chairman Kenneth Radant asked for specifics. Hermenitt was unable to come up with the figures. There will be a public hearing on the proposed budget al 5 p.m. Tuesday. October 26 in the commissioners' room in the cour­ thouse annex. Commissioners are expected to adopt the budget after the hearing. In other business, Kevin Woods, chairman of the county planning commission, told lhe board that the planning commission had met with the Barry County Sheriff. State Police, and County Prosecutor to discuss ideas about a large gathering and noise ordinance for the county. Woods said it is the opinion of the prosecutor that enforcement of such an ordinance should be at the township level. He said it was suggested that perhaps an ordinance adopted uniformly in townships throughout the county would be helpful. ELaton County and the city of East Lansing are ’.wo nearby municipalities that have ordinances controling noise and large gatherings. Woods said the planning commission has collected model ordinances from other areas and distributed them to township super­ visors. He indicated that the planning comm­ mission will draft a uniform model ordinance to be adopted by the townships. Audrey Burdick, drain commissioner, presented the annual drain report and said that there are 243 drain accounts in lhe county. Burdick told the board. “I assessed everything over $400." She reported 15 drain assessments which is more than usual because of the outstanding amount in the revolving fund. Burdick -aid there is still $58,886.22 due on the 1982 lax rolls for special assessments. Barabara Furrow, representing the solid waste committee, reported that the Michigan Department of Natural Resources had some criticism of the county's solid waste plan. Fui row said it had not been stated in the plan that three of the four landfills in Barry County will eventually close. The solid waste committee has three sub­ committees using the McComb County plan a guideline. One committee is dealing with criteria for sites for new landfills; another is a revision committee dealing with various aspects of the plan according to DNR requirements; and the third committee is working on short and long range plans, primarily in reference to recyling and land­ fills. The board accepted the resignation of Hank James, county building inspector and assistant planning administrator. James cited underpayment as a reason for his resignation. G.M. Ketchum of Rutland Township was appointed to serve on the Economic Development Corp, for the Proline project. The board has received an invitation from the Road Commission to attend the annual bus tour of county roads from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Thursday, October 28. Commissioner Paul Richard Dean reported that the county substance abuse board adopted a budget with no salary in­ creases. Gordon and Radant were reappointed to serve on the EDC board as representatives of the county board. The county audit will begin ai 2:30 p.m. October 18. The board tabled, until October 26, a request from Prosecutor Judy Hughes for additional staff. f And who says city hall isn’t generous? by Ken Reibel One benefit of autumn that you may not think about is that there are plenty of free leaves to go around. And the city of Hastings says come and get ’em. During the next month or so. Hie city will be collecting scads of leaves from the city's parks, streets and sidewalks, from there to be taken to the old city landfill off W. State Rd. However, a few enterprising individuals with a penchant for mulch can avail them­ selves of all the free leaves they wish, ac- Mrs. Headlee and Mrs. Brennan to speak here Oct. 22 The wives of GOP candidates for governor and lieutentant governor will be speaking in Hastings at a luncheon sponsored by the Barry County Republican Women. Friday. Oct 22 at noon at the Hastings Moose Lodge Mrs. Richard Headlee and Mrs. Thomas Brennan will appear with several state and county Republican candidates Tickets are available at the Barry County Republican headquarters or from any member of the county Republican Women s Club cording to Dwight Hewitt of lhe city’s Dept, of Public Service. Hewitt says most people only want a few bags full of leaves, but that one man once asked for a semi-trailer load. "We had him bring his truck up alongside the depart menl's truck and blew leaves into the back of his truck." says Hewitt. He says anyone who wants free leaves should make arrangements for picking them up by calling the Dept of Public Service office at City Hall, or else Street Superin­ tendent Jim Tobias. Ann Wilcox. Barry County courthouse custodian, says people are always asking her for leaves this time of year She was supervising a leaf cleanup in front of the courthouse Tuesday. “There's always people asking for them A gentleman will be by today to get some of them for his garden." said Wilcox. She said she knows of one lady who will only lake dry leaves. “She feeds them to her pygmy goals." she explains. The most important thing contributed by mulch is organic matter, according to Joe Lukasiewicz, district conservationist for Barry County Besides contributing some plant nutrients, such as potassium and phosphorous, old leaves help soil to retain water. Lukasiewicz says people with sandy soil will benefit from leaves. However, lie cautions that gardeners should stay away from heavy concentrations of pine needles and oak leaves when mulching; they leave the soil loo acidic. though some plants, such as blueberries, crave the acidity. Lukasiewicz calls mulching “a moisture­ conserving practice." explaining that it adds to the "waler-holding ability" of the soil, another benefit of free'leaves. Overall, says Lukasiewicz, the answer to lhe age-old question “to mulch or not to mulch” depends on the intent of the mulchee. "Some persons do it just Io choke out the weeds That's how I use mulch, for weed control," he says. Dave Merck. Barry County extension agricultural agent, says mulching should not be used instead of fertilizer. "Don’t depend on leaves alone to add nutrients to your garden,” he says. Merck says what mulch does do is to aerate and improve the soil structure. As to lhe problem of mulch adding too much acid to the soil, Merck cautions against automatically addinglime, and recommends the use of a soil testing kit to monitor soil acidity. Ann Wilcox, Barry County courthouse custodian, helps to rake up and bag leaves. She says there's no shortage of people asking for them this time Of year. (Banner photo) The Chorlton Pork Museum, between Hastings and Nashville, will benefit from a $14,117 grant just received by the National Institute of Museum Services. (Banner photo) Barry County gets $14,000 grant for operating Charlton Museum Charlton Park’s Historical Museum and Village has been awarded a general operating support grant of $14,117. by lhe National Institute of Museum Services. Charlton Park was chosen to receive ‘he grant from a field of 1,14) applicants from museums in every state, Washington D.C. and the Virgin Islands. The grant period runs from October 1 of this year through September 30.1983 and can be used toward the museum only. The grant is unique because it requires no matching funds and has very few stipulations as to how funds may be spent. Mary Ann Karmes, former Charlton Park administrator, assembled and supplied all lhe convinceig information that secured the grant for the park. Ms. Karmes has been hired by the Barry County Beord of Commissioners as a con­ sultant to work with the grant. Her salary will be paid from the grant and will be of no cost to the county. She will receive an hourly wage of $9, with a cap of no more than 80 hours. As consultant, Ms. Karmes' duties will include overseeing the grant process, distributing funds and filing of all necessary papers. Commissioner Albert Bell commented that “Mary Ann is the best person to handle it. She got the grant." Evaluation of the grant expenditures will be reviewed according to its effects on the operation of lhe museum in seven different areas: quality of museum services, con­ servation of museum collections, ac­ cessability to the public, accessability to persons who otherwise have limited access, quality of long range plans, quality of financial management, and community committment and base of non-federal sup­ port. County Board Chairman Kenneth Radanl said the the county park commission will have to be mindful of the seven guidelines in using the grant funds. Radant praised Ms. Karmes and former park director Frank Walsh for their roles which led to securing the grant for lhe park.

Committee organized to fight Proposal C Robert Sherwood, president and chairman of the board of the National Bank of Hastings, said this week that a local group of people is being organized to defeat Proposal C on the Nov. 2 election ballot Proposal C would prohibit the use of "due on sale” clauses in mortgage contracts, along with changing the foreclosure redemption period from the current six months to 48 months. The proposal would not affect mortgages involving federally chartered savings and loan associations or Michigan State Housing Development Authority mortgages, according to Sher­ wood. Working with Sherwood in the local effort are Robert Picking, president of Hastings City Bank, and Richard Beduhn. president of Hastings Savings and Loan Association. They are organizing under lhe banner of the Committee to Save Michigan Homeowners. "Proposal C's nothing more than a quick solution, designed to give windfall profit Ig only a few.” charged Sharon Kellogg, a Lansing realtor who heads the state com­ mittee. ”The end result of Proposal C will cost everyone in Michigan in higher property taxes, higher mortgage rales and higher unemployment rates. The backers of this proposal are only thinking of their own selfinterest and not the general welfare of Michigan's current and future homeowners.” The state committee has the support of the Michigan Association of ReaTors, the Michigan Home Builders Association, lhe Michigan State Chamber of Commerce, lhe Michigan Savings and Loan Association and the Michigan Bankers Association.

Robert Noble, owner of Bob’s Party Store on S. Bedford Rd., answered a 2:30 a.m. store alarm which rang into his home two miles away. “Murder for Hire" codefendent Ricky Leon Jones was sentenced in Barry County Circuit Court Friday to life imprisonment without parole. A local jury found Jones guilty Sept. 13 of conspiring to murder two businessmen, Paul DeLassus of Grand Rapids .and Dennis O’Laughlin of Hastings. The charges were two counts of inciting to commit murder, and two counts of conspiracy to commit murder. Each charge carries a mandatory sentence of life without parole. Barry Circuit Court Judge Hudson E. Deming noted during sentencing that he was bound by statute to sentence Jones to life without parole. “This court must sentence you in ac­ cordance with the statutes," said Deming, before pronouncing that “the defendent Ricky Leon Jones is bound over to the jurisdiction of the Michigan Dept of Corrections for life.” Deming advised Jones of his right to ap­ peal his conviction and sentence, repealing often "This (sentence) is in accordance with the statutes.'*. Later that day, Deming denied a motion by Jones's attorney, Kenneth James Weller for a new trial.

Obviously there needs to he some changes made in the people who are making these policies, and we have the chance to make some of these changes at the polls in November. I’ve staled my feeling on abortion, but many people are uninformed and undecided on this issue, which is definitely an issue in the election this fall when one gubernatorial candidate is strongly opposed toabortion and one strongly favors it. A way to make an informed choice this fall is to watch the movie "A Matter of Choice", which will be on television on Channel 17. Grand Rapids cable channel 5 on Tuesday, October 19 at 9 p.m. It is an educational film which covers both views of the abortion issue through the eyes of a newspaper reporter working on a story.

He's said by his veto that Michigan's tax­ payers will pay for Medicaid abortions with their lax money whether they like it or not. It's doubly upsetting to me this lime, though, because of another development My husband, a family doctor who delivers babies, also received notice this week that Medicaid will no longer pay for oxytocin challenge tests. Many of the ladies reading this teller have probably undergone one of these tests and it is a common and necessary part of treating some obstetrical patients. Essentially what it is I’ll explain, a patient is a couple of weeks overdue past her date when the doctor thought she should deliver. She's brought into the hospital OB depart ment and given un I V. to make her have some contractions (labor pains) and the baby's response is monitored during these contractions. If the baby's heartbeat stays normal and he appears to be doing well during (he contractions, the I.V. is stopped and. if the contractions stop, the woman is sent home to wait for nature to lake it’s course, assured that the baby is doing well If the baby has distress during me con­ tractions. then the doctor lakes steps to have the mother deliver the baby soon, preventing further distress and possible death to the baby.

Marian Martin "Just a victim only." says Pam Seibel of Middleville, “I think he’s doing as much as the next man could in his position.” Ralph Tweedy of Hastings says he's been voting Republican all his life — "But I have no use for Reagan." "I don't care much for the President because he spends too much money on arms and not enough on the poor.” says Tweedy. ”1 don't think President Reagan is responsible for the problems,” says Doug Klamka of Chicago. “He's taken on a country where we've had 20 or 30 years of rising inflation. At least we can't continue to go the way we are. His policies may be different than most, and he's bound to get some criticisms." ”1 think he is a bit like we all are.” says Annetta Dingman of Hastings. “It's taken all those years to get us in the situation we’re in. and it’s going to take some time to get us out.” "I think that probably some of the fault should be blamed on Reagan economics,” says Farrell Anderson of Hastings, “But not all of it. I think that business itself has contributed quite a lot to the unem­ ployment...a lot of it is mismanagement.” "We have local problems here, and I thin* that some of the unemployment locally is from mismanagement.” “I think that the economy has been going downhill," says Marian Martin of Mid­ dleville, “and I think that the President thinks he’s doing the right thing...so time will tell.” Martin says the stock market is doing well, and that that "must mean something”. ‘Regardless of whose faint it is, the President has taken some corrective ac­ tion,” says Leon Hale of Hastings. Hale is the finance chairmen for the county Republicans. “The Democrats have had 30 years of trying to control inflation and trying to control high interest rates. “This last episode of high interest rates certainly can’t be blamed on Republicans because they didn't have control of either house. So you can't blame this on Reagan. I think it's more the fault of Congress, in particular the House," says Hale. “Reagan has more money than we have." says Margie Wood of Hastings. "He can take trips, and we can’t.” Wood says she thinks the President is insensitive to the poor, and to Marne for the increase in unemployment. "I think it's more important to work." says Wood, "You can't balance the budget if you ain't got a job to work with ...There ain't no jobs.” �The Hastings Benner. Thursday.

It not only keeps you in touch with the world and your local community, it teaches you how to cope with some of the very problems that it describes. It telis you what is happening, and then presents opposing viewpoints of it that enable you to form your own intelligent conclusions. It provides you with money-saving tips, and by means of its advertising lets you find where the best buys are. Your newspaper helps you choose the House of Worship you wish to attend; and in fact, it is the tangible evidence of the very system of freedom that allows you to make this and all the other choices which are granted to us in this wonderful land of ours.

October 14. I9d2 — Page 5 Woodland News It is definitely October in Woodland, and the season for color tours and hay rides. The high school class of the Kilpatrick Church Sunday School sponsored a very enjoyable hay ride last Saturday evening. It was hasted by Mr. and Mrs. Steve Carter. After the ride, the group all returned to the church for hot chocolate, cider and doughnuts. \\ hile the youth of the church were having a hay ride, the Adult Christian Endeavor group was taking a color tour. A group of seven cars left the church on ;he hill around 4:30 p.m. and traveled across Etarnum Road for several miles before winding around through side roads and country lanes in Barry and Kent counties for an hour and a half. The tour was led by Ceorge Schaibly who found roads that must have been a militry secret for the last hundred years, because there was little sign of civilization, little sign of recently travel, and little sign of human habitation on them. Some of these roads are not even maintained in the winter according to signs at their entrances. At one spot, there was a huge flock of soaring, gliding buzzards floating over a beautifully colored woods, and oddly enough, a flock of buzzards turned out to be a very esthetic sight The group ended up it a German restaurant in Alaska near Grand Rapids it dinner time, and 27 Kilpatrick Christian Endeavor members and their guests liad a very good supper in Bavarian surroundings. Next weekend, the Luther League of Zion Lutheran Church is sponsoring a hayride and wine roast from 6 p.m to 8 p.m., beginning at the church. All ages, single, married people, families, and anyone else are invited. Everyone is going to bring their own wieners and buns, but beverages will oc provided for the wiener roast after the ride ends at the church.

Gwen Frostic paints, draws, and writes, and the main theme of her work is ecology. The McMillens and the Stannards returned to Woodland on Thursday evening. Autumn is also the lime when traditional rivalries are re-played on the football field in stadiums throughout America. Last weekend the traditional game of greatest rivalry in Michigan was played in Ann Arbor. Among the 106.000 people who were there and watched the game were Mr. and Mrs. LeRoy Flessner of Woodland, who were the guest of their daughter. Mary Lynn, and her husband. John Parker of Ypsilanti.

Duane Myers, a graduate of Woodland High, now of Albuquerque, visited Woodland last week His mother is Mrs. Eleanor Myers of Jordan Hoad. Duane and his wife.

The American Lutheran Church Women of Zion cooked and served a Swiss steak dinner to the members of their club, their husbands and guests. Fifty-two people were served dinner. Following dinner, a very interesting program was presented by­ Denise Daniels (Mrs. Roger Daniels) who by Catherine Lucas now lives in Woodland. Mrs Daniels is a native of Brisbane. Australia, and she showed slides of her 1982 trip to visit her family in Australia. There were many very impressive slides of Australian scenery, of Cuckahurro birds, cockatoos and kangaroos, as well as one of a huge spider in a web so large that we could not see the trees it hung from. She also had pictures of historic buildings in Brisbane, and Mrs Daniels said that Australians are only lately starting a program of preserving their historic buildings. Philip (Phil) Born of Tuscon. Ariz. and his son-in-law. Victor Estrella, visited at the home of his parents. Mr and Mrs. Robert Born, in Woodland last week. The two men were on a trip with a moving company and were able to spend Wednesday and part of Thursday in Woodland visiting family members. Phil had a nice visit u ith his siter. Frances Reuther, and his niece. Jeanette Markwart, while he was in Woodland as well as his parents. Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Brackman and Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell Avery from Santa Clara. Calif., visited in Woodland, recently. The two ladies resided in Woodland a’ one time and were the Schray twins at that time. They arrived on Monday. They stayed a! the home of Eugene and Frances Reuther and called on Robert and Vesta Born. On Wednesday, the Reuthers took their house guests to Turkeyville for lunch and on to Coldwater to the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Brecheisen for dinner and the evening. The Averys and the Brackmans left Woodland on Thursday to return to California. Over 190 people attended the birthday party pot-luck dinner that was held at Zion Lutheran Church on Sunday. October 10, for Ethlyn Burkle's90th birthday. After dinner a short program about Ethlyn’s life was presented. Harold Stannard spoke about the years he has known Ethlyn. and he said that if one characteristic epitomized Ethlyn and her personality, it would be “humor". He said that this one women lias let more wind out of more sails than any other person he has ever known. Tom Niethamer spoke and told about a joke she played on him on April 1 when he was just out of high school. He read some of her amusing poems, including one she had written especially for the occasion of her 90th birthday. Ethyln spoke and said that "Woodland is next to heaven in my heart." A huge birthday card divided into ten parts was signed by all who were present in the section tliat represented die decade of their birth. Among the special guests at the dinner were Ethlyn’s daughter.

MSU finds new support for student loan program Michigan Stale University in 1982-83 will once again make provisions for Guaranteed Student Loans for MSU students unable to find financing anywhere else for their college educat on. This year the .Diversity will arrange financing through the United Student Aid Fund. According to Stephen Terry, assistant vice president for finance at MSU. the university in prior years had been the lender of last resort for students unable to find financing anywhere else. Last year. 225 students received Guaranteed Student Loans through the program. But this is only a small part of the overall financing available to MSU students. In 19bl, 27.000 students received some sort of financial aid. including 19.000 who arranged Guaranteed Student Loans through their hometown banks or credit unions. This year, the university expects to process more than $6 millin in financial aid for students. DEMOCLa ADQUART ------------ A, - .......... ........ ....... ..........

October 14, 1982 — Page 6 Antiques and collectibles are enjoying popularity of unprecedented proportion. In almost every home there is at least one piece of antique furniture, or a collection of some sort. Be it Grandma’s old wash stand. Dad’s stamp collection, or a smattering of garage sale Avon bottles, the fact is, America is a society of collectors. In many instances, it is purely sentimental value that prompts us into keeping a cherished item. In today's transient society, it is reassuring to know that there are en­ during links to the past with which we can still live comfortably. One of the most popular reasons for collecting today is for decorative purposes. A few well-chosen accessories can enhance an interior setting and lend a statement of your personal taste. A single piece of antique furniture can become a focal point of a decorating scheme and provide avenues for extending your intended atmosphere. The size and design of your home will determine the manner in which you use antiques and collectibles. In an apai '.rnent where space is limited, small collections can be your choice. Even an efficiency apart­ ment can be warmed by a few pieces of iridescent glass, or a few pieces of pewter placed strategically, or a wall display of old prints and lithographs. If, or. the other extreme, you occupy a 20 room Victorian home, it would almost be a sin to use anything less than authentic pieces of that period. It may require years of searching to furnish and decorate it properly, but the end result will be well worth it A bit of imagination, careful planning and a lot of hunting can turn even your standard living quarters into a compliment of your lifestyle, interests and pleasures. Currently popular today is the "natural” look, with bare woods, roughly textured fabrics and earthy colors. This scheme provides the perfect setting for country collectibles and primitives. Old baskets, stoneware crocks, or woodenware will blend well and add a note of authentic rusticity. The recent revival of arts and crafts has put many "forgotten” handicrafts back in our homes. Woodworking, quilting, china painting, embroidery, macrame, and weaving mix well with antique furniture. By using the arts of both yesterday and today, we enjoy the best of both eras. You need not adhere strictly to pieces of one period. A contemporary living room setting can easily accommodate a few well chosen antiques. For instance, a room centering around a traditional sofa, a leather occasional chair, and a modern area rug is mellowed with the addition of an old pine trunk used as a coffee table, and a pine commode doubling as a side table loaded with old baskets of dried florals, and a piece of pewter. The kitchen is warmed with old iron skillets or graniteware pans and utensils, copper pots, candy and buttermolds. Old fruit jars and advertising tins are great for storing staples. Dry sinks, pie cupboards and kitchen safes are being used in kitchens for both looks and extra storage space. In bedrooms blanket chests and old quilts, four poster beds and bowl and pitcher sets lend charm and warmth. If you acquire antiques for decorative purposes only, certain items can be altered to serve a purpose other than what they were originally intended — but know that alteration affects antique value. Consider this before removing or applying paint, adding modern hardware, replacing legs, feet, tops, etcetera. There are antiques that can take on other duties without alteration, retain their monetary value, and still be useful. Wall to wall carpeting has enjoyed its heyday but is now passe. Better to bare your floors and brighten with rugs and mats. Kitchens and bedrooms look homey with braided rag rugs living and dining rooms come to life with oriental rugs or Indian rugs in an earth toned decor. Rugs, mats, and runners hung on walls make wonderful visual results, as do quilts and other textiles. With greenery and large ferns, an old wicker covered basket, and a few carved wooden duck decoys, warmth and beauty abound in a difficult corner. If you want the charm of antique decor, it is sometimes necessary to use a few reproduction accouterments to “round out" the atmosphere, as old wicker, wooden decoys and oriental rugs are beyond most budgets. There is nothing wrong with buying well made reproductions, as long as they are made well of quality materials. They will bring you years of use and will eventually be considered old, even antique. Ali of the master craftsmen aren’t dead and there are many beautiful hand-crafted items well within our budgets. If you have antiques, live with them. They have survived decades and even centuries, and if treated well, will outlive us all. For they are, after all, only possessions to be used and enjoyed. Like a miser who lives in poverty with a cache of gold under his mattress, some people have beautiful an­ tiques stored away and never know the en­ joyment and beauty they deprive themselves and others through reflections of the past. Life is for the living and remember — you can’t take it with you. Hello, stranger. Searching for answers to all those who/what/where questions about your new city?

Knights of Columbus Hall, West State Rd., Il87 0g>moi Hastings Michigan 49058 “I feel that whether the school develops anyone who goes on to a career in computers is really secondary to the fact that everyone needs to know how to deal with computers...” John Rugg, vice president, Hastings Mutual Vdoviak says a computer curriculum at Hasting Highschool will “give me a market place Io draw from. “I’m not necessarily saying that I’ll hire someone from here, but they would certainly be given good consideration." says Vdoviak. Another benefit of such a curriculum would he that students would find out if computers truly interest them. "They’ll know if it’s their bag or not." says Vdoviak. “We've done some promoting in-house here (for a programmer)." says Vdoviak. “We used Io have a computer operator that decided he wanted Io be a programmer. We put him through a training program. After six or eight months, he de cided he didn't like programming. There we had invested six or eight months of our time." “I heartily endorse it." says John Rugg. vice president and data processing manager for Hastings Mutual. "I feel that whether the school develops anyone who goes on to a career in computers is really secondary to (he fact that everyone needs to know how to deal with computers, since they are becoming such a major part of everyday life. So 1 think it’s an important step for our schools to take," says Rugg. Rugg says that computers are an integral part of Hastings Mutual. “For our size business, we are fairly well computerized, and we are in the process of developing additional applications.” He says that Hastings Mutual has 21 people working in data processing, and that they all work with computers “one way or another". Robert Sherwood, president of the National Bank of Hastings, calls computers "the wave of the future." “I absolutely think that a high school computer program would be beneficial to the community." says Sherwood. "Kids will have to come out of high school knowing something about computers.” Another setback for computer boosters Members of “Computers for Kids”, the committee set up to raise money for school computers, met Wednesday night and heard that their group s application for a $5,000 material grant from the Apple Corp, of California has been rejected. The news is the latest in a string of financial setbacks for the group, which once had its eye on over $25,000 in state matching funds to purchase eight microcomputers for the high school. Those funds, too, were scuttled, when it was learned the state is using ten-month-old jobless figures to determine eligibility for the money. Committee chairman George Hubka discussed the possibility of applying for several other available grants, commenting "sooner or later, things have logo our way." The group also learned that $100 has been raised to date for computers, that money coming from a single contribution two weeks ago from a local insurance firm. Jack Bender, faculty advisor for the newly-formed high school computer club, announced that about 18 club members would be travelling to Grand Rapids Oct. 23 to attend a computer fair. Thursday, club members gave a presentation to area businessmen at the Elks Club on computers, part of a continuing effort to raise money. Members of the newly-formed high school computer club gather after class to hear an experienced operator explain the workings of an Apple II microcomputer. Lake Odessa News 102Ha’»tlng» St GARAGE -SALE- Call Today by Ken Reibel Most local businessmen contacted this week by the Banner reacted favorably to the current community effort to raise money for high school computers. Their comments come at a time when a citizen committee, called “Computers for Kids", is searching for ways to raise thousands of dollars to bring financially strapped Hastings area schools into the computer age. "I definitely feel it’s a good thing." says James Toburen, Flexfab Inc. treasurer. Toburen says students will find that they need to be familiar with computers whether they persue education beyond Hie high school level or go right into the work force. Offering computer training in the high school “will help us and a new employee... and shorten our training period." says Toburen. With familiarization in school, he says, a prospective new employee would be aware of the capabilities of a computer and not have "a fear” of computers that some people have. He also points out that college-bound Hastings students will have to compete with many students who have received computer training in their high schools. He says that students without a computer background will "find it more difficult to keep pace" with those that do. Toburen says that all of the office em­ ployees and some of the factory workeis at Flexfab use computers for a variety of jobs, including inventory control, accounts receivable, payroll and invoices. "Employees are enthusiastic about using computers." says Toburen, and he adds that Flexfab will find more uses for the machines in the future, calling the new technology "an unlimited area.” Jim Veldman, vice president of operations al Hastings City Bank, is also in favor of high school computers. “We would be very much interested in high school graduates with computer backgrounds, since our people will more and more be using not only the computer but the terminals, particularly the computer ter­ minals, and any experience they have with the terminals will be helpful,” says Veld­ man, who is spearheading the bank's con­ version to computers. "As lime goes on, everyone in the bank will be working with computers," he says, adding that most other banks are going the same way. Steve Vdoviak, data processing manager for Hastings Manufacturing, talks about a national shortfall of up to 300,000 trained computer personnel by 1985. “The help just isn’t there." he says. He says it is very difficult to bring a trained computer operator to Hastings. "If you want Io hire a programmer, especially someone with some experience, it’s prac­ tically impossible," says Vdoviak. He says that the cost of relocating discourages a lot of prospective employees from making the move. CASH!

Michigan Supreme Court OKs auto radar detectors The Michigan Supreme Court recently released a decision upholding the legality if car radar detectors. The ruling by the state’s highest court overturns a previous appellate decision which held that radar detectors could be banned under a 1929 “police radio" law, enacted years before the advent of radar and radar detection devices. The Michigan Legislature in 1929 enacted a statute aimed at deterring criminals from eavesdropping on confidential two-way communications by police. In the late 70s. state troopers began using the statute to apprehend motorists who had equipped their vehicles with radar detectors, a law en­ forcement action which was heretofore upheld by the state's courts. Police rationalized that outlawing the detectors would preclude a motorist from escaping apprehension for a speeding violation. Locally, use of the detectors is not much in evidence, according to Sgt. Richard Zim­ merman of the Hastings State Police team. “The amount of Fuzzbusters (the name of one popular brand detector) around here is few and far between." says Zimmerman. He says his department confiscated one recently, and currently has the device in the department's property room pending disposition of the case. He adds that his team has only confiscated “less than a handful" of them in five years. “We will noi confiscate anymore (detectors) or charge anybody (with their possession)," says Zimmerman. Electrolert, Inc., manufacturers of the Fuzzbuster, claims it has spent more than $1 million on judicial proceedings, lobbying efforts, and in litigation on behalf of in­ dividual motorists in opposition to radar detector prohibitions, and claims to have been instrumental in their defeat in over 30 states. State farm leader meets with agriculture secretary Elton R. Smith of Caledonia, president of the Michigan Farm Bureau and vicepresident of the American Farm Bureau Federation, met recently with Agriculture Secretary John Block in Washington, D.C. to seek assurance that federal marketing or­ ders will be administered by the USDA— without interference from other federal agencies. The recent decision by the Office of Management and Budget to disallow use of a reserve pool for the 1982 processing cherry crop has caused concern on the part of producers that the action may have set a precedent for the operation of federal Manufacturing, cont. from page 1 until Sept. 21, which was only nine days before the company's self-imposed OcL 1 deadline. “That’s not a very good way to start negotiations." Turnes said. “I took it upon myself and told the company that I had a misconception of what their needs were." The union’s first proposal had offered a relocation of some 25 cartridge oil niter and a specialized air filter jobs to another building and a reduction in wages to $6 per hour for those employees. That proposal, according to union figures, was worth $1,5)0,000 savings to the company, a 10.4 percent reduction in labor costs. From the beginning, however, the union asked for pension increases, job security guarantees, profit sharing and a two year contract in return for concessions. The second union proposal, delivered the next day. dropped the relocation plan, but called for wage cuts of $2 per hour in filters and $1 per hour in office clerical, a cost-ofliving wage deferral for one year and benefit cuts. The union said that proposal would have given the company a net savings of $2,948,762, reducing the labor costs of $14,400,000 by 20.5 percent The union officials said that they fell the company would accept the equality of sacrifice and job security proposals, but wanted no part of a profit sharing plan. “Profit sharing was never a sole holdup.” Turnes said, “but it was one of the holdups." He said that because of the company's reluctance to talk on profit sharing, the union negotiators believed they were interested in more than increasing the company's com­ petitiveness, but were also looking at higher profits from the concessions. We re not asking for 90 percent of the profits." he said. The local union leaders said that at this point in the negotiations, the UAW In­ ternational officals told them "they had r'*cks in their head" because they were the only UAW plant in the state that was gran­ ting concessions io a company that was still profitable. Turnes and Curtis said that the company’s annual report showed profits of $1,324,000 in 1977. $1,568,000 in 1978, $1,650,000 in 1979, $1,425,000 in 1980. and $1,700,000 in 1981. During the first six-months of this year, the profit has been reported at $706,000, they said. Turnes estimated that between $1 million and $1.25 million of that profit is being made in Hastings Turnes said that if white collar workers make the same concessions as proposed in the final union offer, the company could save marketing orders. Smith said that decision cost the nation's cherry producers $10 million, “with no benefit to anyone, including consumers." Smith reported that Secretary Block had . discussed the matter with Vice President Bush, “and the problem has been straightened out. From now one, USDA will have full authority over these programs which serve as orderly marketing*tools and provide consumers an adequate supply of high-quality produce at reasonable prices. This is surely a victory for farmers and Farm Bureau," he said. Smith said Block agreed to issue a policy as much as $5 million next year. The union officials also said they were told by the company that sales and profitability were up by six percent this year, higher than any other company in the field. “I just want to dispel the thoughts that we have been holding up negotiations, that we’re being unreasonable." Turnes said. “Naturally." he said, “we don’t want this company to lose money. That's not our ob­ jective.” In the negotiations, the union had presented a third proposal which included the relocation proposal for the cartridge oil filter and one air filter line. The union of­ ficials said that plan was reinstated in the proposal because the company wanted to re­ examine it. The company, however, rejected that package and asked for another offer, they said. "I'm not sure that at this point the con­ cessions we offered are still available." Turnes said.

Gordon Johncock couldn't keep from squirming as he sat in the office of Bob's Service Shop. He answered Hie stream uf questions politely enough, but it was obvious he wished he were somewhere else. Perhaps the veteran race car driver wished he was back testing tires at Indy where he had just arrived from lhe day before. Or perhaps Johncock wished he was in Las Vegas where he was scheduled to run in a road race the next day. He wished he was anywhere but sitting in this swivel chair answering questions about his life and career in the auto racing business. On this particular day. Johncock, born in Hastings 46 years ago. was back in the place where it all started for him — Bob’s Service Shop near Nashville. Bob Varney, owner of lhe establishment, was one of the early sponsors of Johncock and on this day was holding an open house for his old racing buddy. Johncock spent the majority of his lime posing for pictures, signing autographs, reminiscing old times, and talking about lhe auto racing business. He is a rather small man (5’ 7”. 160 pounds> with short, thick, graying hair, who appears a bit uncomfortable talking about himself. Johncock readily admits, ever so politely, he could live without the attention a star driver attracts. “I’m kinda Hie type* of person that just doesn't like crowds." he says, as he leans back in his chair. "I like to spend time by myself. Maybe when I get out of the business I’ll be different, but not now." Johncock has never had any trouble performing in front of crowds, however. Among his 24 championship circuit wins are two Indy 500 titles, and a narrow miss in a third. He won lhe National Driving Cham­ pionship in 1976 and finished second on six other occasions. In 18 consecutive starts, Johncock has two wins, nine lop five finishes, and 11 top six finishes. Johncock began his racing career back in the middle 1950’s with the help of Varney and mechanic Wendell Day. Instead of the sleek track at Indianapolis, though, Johncock first raced surrounding areas like Kalamazoo, Jackson. Galesburg and Lansing. He gradually gained experience in the racing business, picked up more lucrative sponsors along the way. and finally broke onto the championship circuit in the middle 196te. He has been one of the big names in the sport ever since. Johncock says making the transition from the smaller area tracks to lhe big time was no problem. "Racing is kinda natural to me," he points out. “If something comes natural to a per- son. it’s not that big of a transition." Johncock shakes his head at lhe critics of aulo racers lhal call lhe drivers "non­ athletes". Even at 46, Johncock obviously is in good shape and says he works lo keep it that way. "A driver and. say, a football player would usedifferent muscles. But if a football player drove a car for three hours I’m sure he’d be sore too," says Johncock. “You have to be in pretty good shape to be able lo race." Johncock says he never was exposed lo drinking and smoking growing up and doesn't do either now. But at 46. he doesn’t know how many more productive years lie in front of him. “Some drivers would be done now,” he admits. “I feel as good now as I did 10 years ago. But who knows. I could be done tomorrow." The threat of a crash is something lhe drivers have to live with, says Johncock, but the successful ones are able to put that thought out of their minds. “Drivers think about it. but if it scared you you wouldn’t be successful." says Johncock of a crash. “I’ve seen it effect people's driving ability. I’ve seen it ruin careers." Because a fellow driver could at any time become a fatality, Johncock says the older drivers don’t do much together off lhe track. "That way if something did happen it wouldn't bother me as much," he adds. Johhcock considers himself lucky. The worst thing that has ever happened to him is a broken ankle. He says to him a crash is more of an irritant than anything else. Johncock says lhe only lime he’s ever really been scared in his life was when he was on lhe 14th floor of a Mexican hotel and a 6.5 earthquake rumbled through lhe area. “I was petrified,” he acknowledges now, years later. As long as the racing rulemakers keep making efforts to keep the speeds manageable with new guidelines. Johncock believes lhe sport will remain as safe as possible. "We don’t need to be going 250 miles-perhour to put on a good race. You only need lo goabout 150 for a decent race, "he says.

Ducks Unlimited nets $18,800 The Third Annual Thornapply Valley Ducks Unlimited Banquet was held Sep­ tember 2, 1982 and raised a record $18,800. for the event. Hunters, conservationists and art enthusiasts gathered, numbering 190 strong, met at the Hastings Elks Lodge for the fund-raising event. This year’s auction bids totaled over $17,000.00. Items included in the sale were guns, prints, originals, carvings, taxidermy, and other sportsmen oriented items. Chapter Chairman John L. Walker ex­ pressed his appreciation for all those who attended the event or contributed to the list of prizes for the evening. “Our third fun­ draiser topped the previous two and we. the committee, are all pleased," Walker slated The future of North American waterfowl depends upon habitat and that’s what ducks unlimited is all about. Monies raised at over 2,300 D.U. events, nationwide and in Canada are used to insure permanent water supplies on the Canadian breeding grounds when 70 per cent of the continental waterfowl are reared. Though the local D.U. chanter will not have another membership drive and banquet until September 1983, persons interested in a ducks Unlimited membership can contact John Walker al 945-9452 or Pete Schantz at Al and Pete’s Sport Shop in Hastings.

October 14. 1982 - Page 11 Words for the Y’s Harper Creek 25, Hastings 6 An underrated Harper Creek football team all but eliminated Hastings from the Twin Valley lootball race last Friday as the Beavers smashed the Saxons 2S-6. The loss, which Hastings coach Jeff Simpson termed, “the worst effort of our season." gives Hastings a 1-3 league record and a 2-3 overall mark. Harper Creek jumps to 2-2 and 2-3 overall. Coldwater, which was tied with Marshall for the league lead, blasted the Redskins 39-0. The Cardinals are now in first place with a 40 record The Redskins fell to 3-1 with the Twin Valley loss. Kraig Shelter scored on a 23-yard run and a one-yard run for two Beaver scores which were sandwiched around a one-yard plunge by Joe Einhardt to give Harper Creek a 19-0 lead. Hastings finally scored on a pass from Mike Mattews to Chris Earl from 16 yards out tn cut the score to 19-6 with six minutes left in the game. But Einhardt scored again from the three and Harper Creek left with a 25-6 win Simpson said five penalties for 75 yards, four fumbles, and two interceptions ended any chance Hastings had of winning the game. “We just killed ourselves." he said. "We really just did a bad job. We missed tackles and they just overpowered and drove us right down. “It was our worst effort of the season. I guess our kids went in thinking since they (Harper Creek) had only one win we wouldn’t have to do much." Hastings had only six first downs. 39 rushing yards, an<fll9 through the air. Harper Creek, on the other hand, had 279 yards on the ground, 17 passing, and 18 first downs. Individually. Mattews completed six of 11 passes while Louis Burroughs led the ground gainers with 22 yards on eight carries. Kelioggsville 14, Middleville 6 Mistakes and winning football games are not an ideal mix. Middleville, for the second week in a row, was guilty of making critical mistakes al the wrong Lime. This time it w'as against Kelioggsville, as the Trojans lost a tough 14-6 decision The two most critical mistakes came in the first quarter when Thornapple-Kellogg lost the bail on an interception at the Kelloggsville five-yard line and alse had a 35yard touchdown called back. The first half ended scoreless. The Trojans couldn't atone for their mistakes in the second half when they saw their defense break down and give up two long Rocket touchdowns. The first score came on the first play from scrimmage on a 77-yard run by Tom Miller to give the Rockets a 6-0 lead. Middleville tied the game a few minutes later on a 33-yard pass from Jim Schipper to Tim Lukas. But rignt after that it was Miller scoring again this time on a 71-yard scamper. The two-poii ter gave Kelioggsville a 14-6 »ead they never relinquished. "Our defense did a reasonably good job." said Trojan coach Ray Page. "We just did some stupid things al the wrong times." Statistically, the Trojan offense was held to a net five yards rushing. Schipper hit 13 of 27 passes for 201 yards. Tim Lukas caught eight of those passes for 167 yards. The loss drops Middleville to 2-3 overall and 1-3 in the league. Bangor 14, Delton 7 A winless Bangor football team wrecked Delton’s homecoming last Saturday. 14-7. The loss drops the Panther’s record to 1-4 while Bangor ups its record to 1-4 also. Delton’s offense had it’s problems in the game as they were able to rush for a total of only 92 yards. They were able to pass for ?5 more "We just missed a lot of blocking assignments. And our backs didn’t do a very good job of hitting the right holes." said Delton coach Fred Pessell. "I was not pleased, particularly in the second half."

Twice more in the first half Delton drove deep into Bangor territory only to be halted by mistakes. The slim lead lasted until the third quarter when Bangor quarterback Derrick Arm­ strong scored on a one-yard run. The twopoint conversion gave Bangor an 8-7 lead after three quarters. Tom Brayman iced the game in the fourth quarter with a 60-yard run. That touchdown gave Bangor a 14-7 lead. Defensively, Pessell said he team played sporadically. Bangor could only pass for 44 yards, but did rack up a total of 222 on the ground. "At limes we played well." said Pessell of his defense. "At other times we just did some things we shouldn’t have." Waverly 28, Lakewood 8 Waverly High School scored early and often last Friday against Lakewood building a 28-0 halftime lead. The Warriors didn’t let up the rest of the way in a 28-8 win over Lakewood last Friday. The Warriors were imaginative in their scoring. For instance. Jim Gcorgi passed 16 yards to Matt Kostrzewski in the first quarter for one score and Georgi intercepted a pass and ran 65 yards for another first period score. After a long punt return, Kelly Langdon scored on a one-yard run, and Larry Bartiped added a second one-yard run later in the second quarter for the 28-0 halftime lead. Lakewood coach Tim Wood said his team just didn't seem to be able to put it together in the first half. "We were the victim of a long punt return and an interception in the first half, and we also had poor field position most of the time," he said. "They are an excellent team, but it just seemed like we didn’t get any breaks in the first half." Things brightened somewhat in the second half for Lake wood. Charles Coon scored on a 12-yard run in the fourth quarter to break the shutout bid. Coon, only a sophomore, finished the game with 84 yards rushing in 84 at­ tempts. "He's been improving over the year, and he just had a good game against Waverly," said Wood. Lakewood rushed for only 58 yards as a team. The Vikings passed for 100 yards hitting six of 14 passes. Lakewood's defense allowed only 57 yards through the air and another 163 on the ground. "We were pleased with our effort.’’ said Wood of his team's defense. "We were 28 points down and we showed no sign of letting up“It could have been much worse. They threw everything at us they could, and they couldn't score." Defensively, sophomore noseguard Bruce Daggett was a stickout, says Wood. Maple Valley 29, Springfield 8 Maple Valley s football team is rolling toward an October 29 showdown with Penn­ field. Last Friday the Lions blasted Springfield 29-8, while Pennfield racked up it’s fifth shutout of the year as they beat Bronson 56-0. Both teams are undefeated in Southern Michigan Athletic Association play and it’s tieginning to look more and more like they winner of the October 29 game will capture the 1982 football title.. The Lion’s offense racked up 253 yards on the ground against the Rams and 87 more through the air while completing scoring drives of 73. 68, 57 and 99 yards. With Maple Valley's offense controlling the ball as they did, Springfield simply didn’t have many opportunities to catch up. Lion coach Dan Watson gives most of the credit for the win his offensive line. "Our whole offense played well, especially our offensive line," said Watson. “When you have three long drives like we did. you know something is being done right. Our line was just moving people out of there and we were able to control the line." The first of Maple Valley's drives came in the first quarter and was climaxed by a sixyard pass play from Randy Joostberns to Dennis Gardner. Tony Dunkelburger passed to Tony Reid on a broken-play for the twopoint conversion. The Lions scored again early in the second period on a one-yard run by Chris Barton. Scott Everett kicked theextra point for a 15-6 lead. Springfield temporarily climbed back into the game when Gordie Norris passed sixyards to Jim Smith for the first points against the Lions in three games. The twopointer made it 15-8. Maple Valley all but salted the game away before the half when, with 32 seconds left, Joostberns hit Barton with a 14-yard scoring strike. Everett’s kick made it 22-8 at the half. In the final period Springfield drove to the Lion six-yard line, but Maple Valley held on downs at the one. From there the offense took the ball 99 yards on 16 plays. Reid finally scored from the '3-yard line. Reiu finished the game with 173 yards on 23 carries. It was his fourth straight 100-yard game and brought his season total to 572. Defensively. Watson was pleased with lineman Wes Wood (nine tackles, four assists, including four sacks), linebacker Dale Montague (11 tackles, five assists) and back Tony Dunkelburger (seven tackles, six assists). It’s get tough time for area grid teams by Steve Vedder The sixth week of the high school football season is going to be belt-tightening time for a couple of area squads. For instance, at Hastings the Saxons en­ tertain Albion in its annual homecoming clash. Hastings is coming off two straight losses, the latest of which was a 25-6 debacle at harper Creek. Saxon coach Jeff Simpson called that contest, “the worst effort of our season." Simpson had reason to be less than thrilled with the game. Hastings was penalized five crucial times for 75 yards, they lost four fumbles and had two passes intercepted. "We really just did a bad job.” he said. "We missed tackles and they just over­ powered us. They drove us right down." Simpson said his Saxon team is, "definitely going to be a changed team," on Friday when they host the Wildcats. He calls the Albion contingent a "big-play team" that is capable of breaking open any game at any time. Albion is coming into town with a 2-3 overall record and are 2-2 in the Twin Valley. Hastings is 2-3 and 1-3. Maple Valley, still in the thick of the race for the Southern Michigan Athletic Association crown, travel to Battle Creek St. Philip. It’s homecoming for the Tigers, who have won only one game all season. Maple Valley is 4-1 overall and 3-0 in the SMAA. Pennfield. unscored on in five games leads the league- with a 4-0 mark. Lion ranch Dan Watson said the Tigers to W L T Standings use a power-run type offense. “They are a team that is capable of playing well." said Watson speaking oi the St. Philip team. Watson said he is very happy with the recent play of his team. He said his offensive line in particular is playing well, and that’s by design. "We're getting better. We're not ever going toscorea lot of points. We want to use a ballcontrol offense that uses up the clock," he notes. Things don’t get any easier for Lakewood as the Vikings travel to Coopersville to take on the first place Broncos (4-1. 3-0). Lakewood '0-5) suffered a 28-8 setback at the hands of Capital Area Conference power Waverly last week. Lakewood coach Tim Wood said things won’t be any easier for his team this week. "Coopersville is a good team. They have a mixed offense and a good balanced attack.’ said Wood. Middleville has hit the skids the last couple of weeks losing to Hamilton and Keiioggsville. What’s worse is the way the Trojans lost the games: via their own mistakes. Against Kelioggsville. the Trojans (2-3) had a 35-yard touchdown called back and had another pass intercepted at the five-yard line. This week the Trojans entertain Caledonia (3-2, 2-2). Thor-uipple-Keliogg coach Ray Page says the game will, ‘ be wide-open. Past records don't mean a thing." Delton will be looking for win number two when it takes on Mattawan (1-4,1-3 league). Panther coach Fred Pessell said he isn’t going to take Mattawan lightly despite the record. "They’re a fairly sound team. They just haven’t had great success." said Pessell. The seven grade girls basketball team, shown here, hod no trouble filling out its roster this fall. Hastings Assistant Principal Al Francik said close to 50 percent of his school is involved with at least one of the five teams at the junior high. Francik reviews jr. high overall sports program By Steve Vedder Hustings Juni »r High coaches should have no trouble filling up their rosters. In fact, about half of the students at the junior high plan on playing on one of five school sports teams. The number of kids that at least try out for a spot on each of those teams is astounding. Hastings Junior High Assistant Principal Al Francik estimates half of the enrollment of 597 students is involved with one or the other teams. For example, last year’s wrestling team had 41 boys on the team. The boys and girls track teams had close to 60 members each last spring. This fall the girls basketball teams had close to 70 girls try out. while 60 boys have expressed an interest to play on the boys teams this winter. The school strives for active participation, says Francik He believes this participation can only benefit a youngster. "I’ve always firmly believed extracirricular activities are an important part of education. They should be supported by the school through voted operational monies." says Francik. “I’ve always believed a junior high student should be involved in participation. Winning and losing is insignificant in-so-far as the growing and developing of an individual under those conditions." Hastings Junior High Athletic Director Tom Brighton is quick to agree that winning and losing isn't the main objective of the sports program "We stress ’hat winning is nice, but competition and kids getting a chance to play are more important.” says Brighton. Francik feels the coaches go along with the participation philosophy. Coaches try to give their players a few minutes of playing time every game. If a player doesn’t get a chance to play, it's just an oversight. "I think all coaches feel they have the ability to coach a winning team," says Francik. "Maybe some of the coaches will occasionally play a stronger player a little longer to help win a game. "But I don’t think that’s ever been a major problem. 1 don’t even think it’s been a minor problem, really." Funding of the programs has been a problem. though. The five junior high sports have been funded by parents organizations, but Brighton says no group at the present time has come forward with an offer to sponsor the wrestling and track teams for the 1983 year. Francik says it takes approximately $8,337 to run the five sports when transportation, salaries, officials, and indirect costs are taken into account. Gate receipts take in close to $1,350, but that still leaves a large monetary void for someone to fill. Because of the lack of adequate funds, over 40 teachers over two years have been laid off from the Hastings school system. Many of them were young coaches, and the problem of replacing them is a dilemma. “I don't think there’s any question we’re understaffed," says Francik. "We try io provide the best possible programs, but there is no manpower available. Being un­ derstaffed is an every day problem in education." Francik contends finding coaches with a qualified background is not easy. "Historically, coaches have participated in a sport in college. They've had first aid and training techniques. But as we get away from finding this type of person we’re putting our kids in jeopardy." he says. "Sports are contact and coaches must recognize when somebody is overextended or hurt. The kids have to be watched and we’re losing that type of expertise.” The combination of dwindling coaching staffs and large teams has led to yet another problem: lack of individual attention to the player. There are simply too many kids on a team for one coach to handle. Brighton firmly believes, however, the type of athletic program Hastings is able to offer is ’better than an alternative of no program at all. “Kids benefit just by being part of a team and learning the fundamentals,” he says. "I think the coaches that work with the kids are giving a good effort " Outdoor Report; This week in outdoor Michigan Fall is edging into Michigan with colors nearing their peaks and frost starting to tint the mornings. Success in waterfowl hunting was fair last week. A total of 26 parties were checked in the Barry County area with each party reporting one to two birds each, mostly woodies, mallards and some teal. In big game hunting, archery deer interest appears up. Deer are on the move as several hunters have claimed their successful Deer Hunters patch from the Plainwell District office. In fishing, rain and high winds over the weekend minimized 'Big Lake' fishing. Rough waters are a problem with four-foot swells keeping boats in harbors. Water temperatures are still in the 60s and reports of catches are somewhat spotty. In New Buffalo, there are reports of a few lake trout being taken in 80-100 feet of water using sutton spoons, northport nailer, or peanut lures fished rignt on the bottom.^ Limited success reported at St. JosepHBenton Harbor with only a few lake trout taken off the pier using spawn. The DNR Berrien Springs fish biologist reported 2,000 fish, mostly kings, passed over the fish ladder last week. Fishing should be fairly good just below the Buchanan Dam. Reports are good numbers of steelhead were observed downstream around the Sportsman Park area. In South Haven, some chinook and brown trout were taken in the lower reaches of the Black River using hardware and crawlers. Also some nice pike catches were taken. Legal size bass from 12-16 inches were hitting surface plugs in inland fishing at the drop offs during evening hours. Also several good catches of bluegill taken fishing over deep water 15-20 feet down using red worms, wax worms or wigglers. Cancer Society sponsors bowling contest The Michigan Division of the American Cancer Society is continuing the statewide event called “Bowl Down Cancer ” In 1981. 22 county ACS units <56 bowling houses < took part in this statewide event over a two-week period in the fall.

At the heart of the case is the doctrine of search and seizure, particularly how it ap­ plies to automobiles. The appeal is brought to the high court by state prosecutors in the case of David Long, who was convicted of possession of marijuana. After Long's conviction was upheld by an appeals court, the Michigan State Supreme Court ruled June 14 of this year that Long’s car was illegally searched by deputies after it was stepped for speeding early in the morning of Aug. 25, 1977. As deputies George Howel! and Rick Lewis approached the car. Long got out and met them. Asked for iiis drivers license. Long at first made no response, then gave a deputy his license When asked for his registration and in­ surance papers. Long again made no response, and had to be asked a second time. One of the deputies later testified that Long “appeared to be under the influence of something.” The deputies accompanied Long back to his car. where they spotted a knife of the floor. They confiscated the knife, then shined a flashlight into the car to search for further weapons. Deputies spotted a leather pouch under the front armrest, in which they found a quantity of drugs. Long was then arrested. At that point, the deputies decided to impound the car. and used a knife to jimmy open the trunk. Inside, they found two paper bags containing 75 pounds of marijuana. $111,1751 100,000 90,000 70,000 60,000 50,000 ,000 Michigan’s highest court ruled that a 1968 Supreme Court decision, Terry vs. Ohio, allows police officers to conduct pat-down searches oi suspects they believe might be armed, but that Long's case did not authorize the search of an area. "When the search of the interior of the automobile was conducted, the defendant was standing at the rear of the vehicle under the control of one deputy and the other deputy was between the open door of the vehicle and the defendant. The deputies had conducted a pat-down oearch of the defen­ dant and had found no weapons; any weapons which might have been hidden in the car, after the deputies picked up the Board names K-12 study group members by Ken Reibel I ’United Way L of Hastings A H-year-old boy, shot in the chest Saturday while target shooting with some friends, was listed in good condition Thur­ sday "and possibly ready to go home”, ac­ cording to a Pennock Hospital spokesman. Sheriff deputies report that Jeff Thomp­ son. 514 E. Green St., was accidentally shot at close range in the chest, just above the heart, with a .22 rifle at the boy’s home. According to reports, the bullet exited out the boy’s back. According to one of the Thompson’s friends who witnessed the shooting, a third boy was standing near Thompson with a .22 Win­ chester rifle resting on his forearm when the weapon went off. The witness told deputies “Jeff hollered and started running toward the house where he summoned help," and was immediately taken to Pennock. Police call the shooting accidental. deputy observed a knife on the floor of the vehicle. Accordingly, a claim that a protective search is permitted cannot be summarily rejected on the ground that there was no danger." "It would certainly help the administration of justice to not have contraband thrown out of court because of the supreme court's in­ terpretation of the constitutional mandates of search and seizure," says Judy Hughes, Barry County prosecutor. She says the deputies "had every reason to believe they were dealing with an armed and dangerous person." Hughes says she is very pleased that the U.S. Supreme Court has granted certiorari "and will be taking a look at the stance of the The Hastings The Hastings Board of Education ap­ proved a list "f 147 individuals who will serve on a K-12 study committee to look into the operation of Hastings Area Schools at the board’s monthly meeting Monday night. The s*udy committee is a follow up to the annual report’s "study recommendations" made at the August 30 meeting, which recommended “A special committee con­ sisting of board, staff and citizens be com­ missioned to study and recommend future K12 instruction, building use and main­ tenance." Board President Dr. William Baxter made committee assignments, also as a follow-up to the study recommendations. Those assigned are Dick Shaw and Robert VanderVeen, library; George Wibalda, Larry Haywood, Betty Johnson and Robert Miller, transportation; Judy Lenz, Betty Heidt and Lewis Lang, adult education; Diane Hoekstra, Dick Groos, Robert Miller and Lewis Lang. Barry County Intermediate School District and Dr. William Baxter, Bill Karpinski and Al Francik. athletics, in­ tramurals, YMCA and Youth Council. Superintendent Richard Guenther an­ nounced a meeting for members of the K-12 study steering committee, to be held Tuesday, Oct. 26, at 7:30 p.m. in the lecture hall of the high school. Guenther also stressed that more individuals are being sought to serve un study groups, and that anyone interested should call the ad­ ministration office. "We are starting to undertake a rather extensive review of our school system," noted Board President Baxter. IN OTHER BOARD business: The board approved the release of two teachers from their teaching contracts, and recalled two teachers who were layed off last June. John Mullinex and Roberta Wilde were released from their teaching contracts in accordance with the board’s “Early In­ centive Retirement Program". Mullinex has been teaching in Hastings since 1968, and will be replaced Nov. 26. Wilde joined the system in 1953, and took her leave Sept. 30. The board noted that the net salary reduction resulting from the early retirements amounts to $10,905. Recalled are Steve Kaiser, secondary science, and Dan lake, upper elementary. The board also authorized driver education courses for October-November, 1982, and spring, 1983. Added cost of the move is estimated at $3,400, which, noted Guenther, will require an amending of the school budget in November. As a result of that move, all high school students who turn 16 before the March 30, 1983, will be eligible for competency based driver ed testing. The same testing was used this past summer. The board authorized spending $2,500 for a consultant to aide in the search for a new superintendent, and released a time table for that search: — Nov. 1, public meeting with board, 7:30 p.m., junior high vocal music room — Nov. 15, parents (elementary), 1:30 p.m.. Central School Library; Board of Education meeting, 7:30 p.m., junior high vocal music room — Nov. 16, parents (elementary), 9 a.m., Central School library; parents (junior high), 10:30 p.m., junior high vocal music room; parents (high school), 2 p.m., high school library; public meeting, 7 p.m., junior high vocal music room cont.P.geg Youth’s condition good following shooting mishap knife, would have been out oi the reach of the defendant, and this did not pose a danger to the deputies. " the state court said in its majority opinion. In a dissenting opinion. Chief Justice Mary Coleman wrote "The purpose of a limited protective search for weapons is not to discover evidence of crime, bu’ to allow the police officer to continue his in­ vestigation without fear of violence. Other courts have upheld protective searches of the interior of a vehicle while the occupants were detained ourside it because they were not under arrest and could have returned to the vehicle when the encounter was ended. In this case, the defendant was entering the vehicle to retrieve the registration when the Michigan State Supreme Court." Kalamazoo attorney James Geary, who wrote the Long brief, says the deputies never testified that they thought Long was dangerous. "As a matter of fact, they didn’t think that they’d have any reason to ask him to step back to the squad car. They testified that he was cooperative at all times, and that there wasn’t any particular reason to worry about him." (Prosecutor Hughes) is probably right that it would be a lot easier to convict people if we didn't have the Bill of Rights. It’s not supposed to be easy. I think that what she’s saying is that we’re not supposed to have a fourth amendment...and that's not going to help justice at all,” says Geary. Dave Wood. Barry County Sheriff, was at the scene of Long’s arrest on that August morning five years ago "My feeling was that there were a number of things wrong (with suspect Long)," says Wood. “One. there were the drugs found on the front seat. two. he acted like he didn't want us around, three, the key hole was popped out of the truck, and four, a chase followed when we tried to stop him for speeding." says Wood. The chase ended when Long’s car ended up in a ditch. “We had to open that trunk..

His comments came at the County Farm Bureau’s annual meeting Thursday night at the Moose lodge. “I ask you to measure the candidates and the policies and philosophies of your organization...You won't always get a 100 percent fit, but see how the two square together on major issues, and don't be hoodwinked by a person who might support you on a one-commodity issue," said Smith. "Did you ever stop to think that a can­ didate wbo supports big spending is in­ creasing the size of government, and is not supporting you and your organization?” asked Smith, “If that's the kind of person who gets elected, it will make a mockery out of what you do here tonight, and 1 just say to you let’s not let that happen." Smith, who is also vice presdient of the American Farm Bureau Federation, called the upcoming election “one of the most important elections that we’ve held fora long time, certainly one of the most important in the state of Michigan." "You have no idea how it changes boards, commissions, one thing or another, when you elect a new governor," said Smith. Smith's comments wrapped up the political portion of the meeting in which Farm Bureau members voted their support of a number of resolutions drafted by the group’s Policy Development Committee. The committee touched on a wide variety of issues, from milk prices to hunters’ back tags. A few resolutions did not pass. Members threw out an amendment calling for an immediate halt to the nuclear arms race, one of five amendments to a resolution ad­ dressing the national economy. And a resolution to make the state liable for deer damage to crops, gardens and orchards was voted down. A provision to encourage area residents to mark their belongings as a deterrent to rural crime was amended with a sentence which stated that “existing registration of firearms, specifically handguns, is adequate." Farm Bureau members also voted to support area farmer Bob Bender in his up­ coming bid for the 88th state house seat. Farm Bureau members (resent voted by ballot for four new directors.

STUDY GROUP, continued from page one— Search committee members are Judy Lenz, chairman, Dick Shaw and Larry Haywood. Due to the special Nov. 15 superintendent search meeting, the board meeting scheduled for that night at Pleasantview Elementary has been moved to Nov. 22, at the same location. The board also Monday night approved a 1981-82 financial audit, which had been reviewed by the board finance committee, consisting of Judy Lenz, Dianae Hoekstra and Dick Groos. Groos said the audit “pretty much con­ firms a preliminary audit done last sum­ mer." Groos said the independent firm which conducted the audit took “three minor ex­ ceptions" to the way the board does business. The first exception came, according to Groos, because the board doesn't report general fixed assets, such as buildings. “But that’s meaningless, because none of our to the Editor. Reader asks why vote? buildings are for sale,” said Groos. The second exception was that the system does not account for bus costs and related contracts. To that Gross commented “We do what the State of Michigan requires”, and that the state does not require such ac­ counting. And the third exception was that a "sub­ stantial" portion of the school service fund consists of charges to users, referring to income from sale of books and meals. Groos says it's “impractical to verify those sales because of ti*e small amounts of goods sold and the number of people who buy." "Except for tliese three very minor ex­ ceptions, this is as clean an audit as you’re going tn get," said Groos, who is chairman of the board's finance committee. He added that the audit revealed a defecit increase of $38,000 over the last year. The board also authorized the borrowing of $100,000 from the National Bank of Hastings on anticipated slate aid revenue.

If that doesn’t work, a bench warrant will be issued for those individuals’ arrests, resulting in jail, according to Steinfort. TO THE EDITOR: □ Science & Math To the people of Michigan. Just thought I would give you a few reasons why you should vote this year. (1) So your congressman and senator can increase their salaries again. 1 mean they only make $65,000 to $70,000 a year. (2) So they can redecoratp their offices and increase our taxes again to pay for all this. (3) So they can sit on their duffs all day and let the U.A.W. run the country like they have been. (4) So they will do nothing to make the car companies build better cars, instead they want to stop foreign imports so we have to buy these junkers. This goes for our state representatives and gins running for governor, too, just so you won’t feel left out. Check out the ones running for governor, the Republican wants a $10,000 salary in­ crease and the Democrat wants a 20 percent lax increase, why don’t we get a bunch of donkeys and stick them in these offices and feed them hay. It’s a lot cheaper and they will do just as good of job as anyone else could. And that’s why you should vote. Randy Murphy 480 N.

Rick Weedall "Yes, I would buy it again," says Mike Smith, a pharmacist at Bosley Pharmacy on Jefferson St. He calls the Tylenol poisonings "a madman’s revenge." “It's a good product, made by a reputable firm," says Smith. He doesn’t think such drugs should be kept behind the counter, but he does favor packaging them in a tamper­ proof container." Marie Chamberlain of Hastings says the poisonings have not "affected her one bit". "I will continue to buy Extra-Strength Tylenol,” she says. “As far as keeping such products behind the counter, I would just as soon make my own decisions," says Chamberlain. "I never bought Tylenol in the first place." says Stephanie Skorka. "I always bought the cheapest generic aspirin, and that’s what I’ll continue to do. “As far as putting the other products behind the counter, I think there shouldn't be any over-the-counter drugs. It’s too easy for people to abuse them. I’m not worried about Eric Rowley J.H. Willis someone tampering with them, but I jo think that the average person tends to abi.se them themselves when they should seek medical attention." “If (the drugs) were properly sealed, I don't think it would be necessary to put them behind the counter.” says Charles McVay. McVay calls the public aversion to Tylenol “symptomatical”. "1 was put off. after all people were dying from it. But now. I'd buy it again." "I don't use any kind of aspirin or anything," says Rick Weedall. “As far as namebrand. I think (Tylenol) should change its name." Weedall doesn't think that over-thecounter drugs should be kept behind the counter. I don’t think it would do any good...Anybody can do anything they want to anything." "It could happen to any kind of drug." says Eric Rowley, of Hastings. "Just because it happened in Chicago to Ty lenol doesn’t mean it couldn't liappen here to Bayer or Gloria Lockridge something. If they put those seals on the packages, it won't matter what you buy. and even if they don't it doesn't matter what you buy. because they could do it to anything." Rowley says putting non-prescription drugs behind the counter is unrealistic. “Just go down to Felpauschs here, and take a look. They have rows and rows of drugs. If you pul them behind the counter, you’re going to need a big counter, and a lot of people to attend to them.” J.H. Willis, from Battle Creek, says he doesn’t have much call for aspirin. “I don't have any pain," he says. “ (The poisoned Tylenol episode) is just one of those things that happened that nobody could prevent if they knew about it," says Willis. "I’m not going to trust myself to buy Tylenol anymore," says Gloria Lockridge of Hastings. She says all capsuled drugs should be kept behind the counter. �lhe Hastings Banner. Thursday.

Sharon Vickery, City Clerk In these days of rising costs, it's unusual to hear of products or services going down in price, but that’s exactly what’s happening to many air fares and travel packages. There are many special air fares as the result of airlines beginning service on new routes, and there are also some very attractive promotional fares between cities on highly competitive routes. Hotels don’t intend to be left behind in the price war either, so you'll find countless bargains even in the height of the tourist season. Family rates make it cheaper to take the kids than to leave them at home with a sitter. Many charter packages are now lower than the prices quoted earlier in the year, with Mexico and the Caribbean especially good values. You can find every type of package ranging from allinclusive vacations to just the bare basics. A stronger dollar has resulted in some great bargains to Europe and the Orient. You can get a lot more for your money now than you could just six months ago. so this is the time to splurge on that vacation you keep putting off until tomorrow. We’re keeping up on all the best values in order to serve you better, so just give us a call and we'll help you Select the perfect vacation destination. We’ve probably been there ourselves and will give you many pointers to add to your enjoyment. We’ll start booking, you start packing! HENDERSHOT PUZA...PKUNE 948-9240 Only.. OUR FRIENDLY E.T.

October 2), 1982 — Page 4 Ex-rural Cloverdale mail carrier dies Welton D. Brooks, 92, longtime rural mail carrier in the Cloverdale area, died Tuesday at ‘he Barry County Medical Care Facility where he had been a patient 2'j years. Welton is best remembered to the public for his devotion and dedication as a "pioneer" mail carrier who spent 50 years and six months on lhe job, logging nearly a half million miles out of the Cloverdale post Office — part of them with a horse and cart. He retired in 1959 and his route at that time was a 40-miIe stretch. In 1948. when lhe Detroit Free Press wanted tn do a photo feature story on a rural mail carrier, they went to Welton Brooks. The Free Press noted that since Brooks was Clo.’erdale's only postman, he handled all types of mailed material — even a crate of baby chicks. Brooks' tenure as a rural carrier is part of another era when postmen were often called upon to do more than just deliver mail and packages. Once he found a note in a mailbox which said, “Gone to the fair, please slop the hogs." You can bet he did. He also helped put out fives, delivered messages, and per­ formed other neighborly acts while distributing the mail. Brooks was bom in Orangeville Township January 31, 1890, lhe son of Ira and Susan (Welton) Brooks. He lived his entire lifetime in the Cloverdale area and graduated from Western Normal in 1908. He taught school for six months in the former Blake School in Orangeville Township. His career as a mail carrier began in 1909 with a horse and cart to cover the 19-mile route in summer and on runner olades in the winter. Brooks married Hazel Hine on September 19. 1911 tn Cloverdale. She preceded him in death in November 11. 1980. He was a member of the Faith United Methodist Church and a member of the Hural Letter Carriers Association. Brooks is survived by four daughters: Mrs. Blanche Lewis of Cloverdale, Mrs. Steven (Priscilla) Karmes of Delton. Mrs. John (Winonai Chandler of Hastings, and Mrs. Marvin < Vivian) Flower of Charlott?; a son Robert H. Brooks of Hastings; 17 grand­ children, 31 great-grandchildren; and 21 great-great-grandchildren. Funeral services will be held Friday.

Richard Coppess and his family from Lansing. Lynda Coppess Smith and her husband Tom and family, Jennifer Coppess Naylor and her husband Ronald, and Ronald and Ellyn Coppess and family as well as Mary (Cop­ pess) and Lyle Hokanson made apple butter the old fashioned way.

Ap­ ples were peeled on Friday night, and early Saturday morning, they started cooking the cider in a 48-quart copper kettle over a wood fire outside. About noon, the peeled apples were added to the boiled-down cider, and the apple butter was cooked until around 8 p.m. This year Red Delicious and Jonathon apples were used. Theda Coppjss says that it takes sweet apples to make good apple butter without the addition of sugar She prefers Golden Delicious apples, but they were not available this year. Dorothy and Dale Stewart came and helped on Saturday. Mrs. Stewart is an aunt of the Coppess family, and Adelaide and Raymond Dalton came on Sunday. Mrs. Dalton is also an aunt.

Il saddens me to recall the days of the great depression — to remember the pain and absolute oppression reflected in my parents' eyes — the dread of yet another day's exhausting worry and frustration. My brother, sisler and I saw the hardships of the 1930s through the eyes of children — and now as we look back, we know the real burden of our daily survival fell on our parents. We only knew the hunger for a sweet apple or an orange. To desire the sweet taste of candy was a fantasy we dared not en­ tertain. Vegetables, meat, and milk was not a part of our daily diet Our father was a skilled cabinet maker then, but industries went bankrupt and closed by the thousands. We lost our home and car. My parents thought by moving lo the city, at least my father could walk and look for work. There we somehow managed to rent a small flat on Saratoga Street in Newport, Kentucky. Since there was no call for my father's trade, he did menial tasks for people who could still afford day help. For people who lived in the suburbs or country, growing their own food proved to be a life saver. For people who lived in the cities, there was no hope. We literally lived in our own "asphalt jungles", with concrete for our playground We witnessed things no child should see. We lived next door lo a "beer-garden" or "speak-easy” as they were called in those days. We saw beggers and drunks lying on the sidewalks — either once respectable family men who had lost their jobs, families, their hopes, their pride — or just bums taking advantage of the economic collapse and begging openly. On our street we saw big black limousines pull up to the speak-easy next door and deliver fine suited gents and beautiful ladies in silk gowns. Fox and mink adorned their shoulders. The speak-easy had an upen-air garden. By climbing up on top of the cup­ board in our kitchen, my sister and I could peek down into the "garden". At night it looked beautiful with colored lights and Japanese lanterns. We saw people drinking, laughing, and dancing to a honky-tonk band. We couldn't understand why those people had so much and we had so little. We didn’t know those were times when mobsters and their "molls" ruled the city and openly lived outside the law. We only knew they were the “haves" and we, the “have-nots". There was a bakery on the corner of our block, and the aroma of the freshly baked sweets sent us reeling Everyday, we and the children unfortunate enough lo live nearby, would cluster up close to the bakery window and peer inside, mentally devouring the goodies on display Either because lie felt sorry for us, or just wanted to gel rid of us, the owner brought out a ix>x of donuts and rolls and gave us each one. Then we were shooed away — only to repeat the same pilgrimage the next day. Our mother finally stopped ordering us not lo go to the bakery again, as she knew we were getting something she couldn’t give us. My father bartered his skill in carpentry for food. Potatoes were our "main-stay" in those times. The Salvation Army set up a distribution center in our neighborhood, and I remember standing with my father for hours in the long lines of sick and destitute people, waiting our turn for a sack of cornmeal, powdered eggs, black straup molasses, powdered milk, when it was available, course flower, and a small bucket of lard. Sometimes the cornmeal was wormy and had lo be sifted before using. No fresh fruits or vegetables were offered. Only staples v hich would "keep" were stored for the "lelief" lines. I vividly remember my father coming home one day with a big, beautiful water­ melon. We jumped for joy, thinking it was for us. With tears in his eyes, he told us he would have to sell it to help pay the rent. I trudged along with him as he carried it down the street lo find a buyer. When it slipped from his arms and splattered on the sidewalk, he slowly sat down and cried. I cried loo — not for the loss of the watermelon, but because I had never seen my father cry before. I remember, too, of having to answer the door when a bill collector came for the 25 cent payment on a debt incurred by my parents. My mother, hidden from sight, cried because she was too ashamed to tell him she didn't have the 25 cents. Suicide and murder was commonplace during the depression years. People were literally starving to death, and would rob or steal food to feed their families. Franklin D. Roosevelt succeeded President Hoover in 1932. and soon after, implemented the W.P.A. government funded work programs. The men built dams, schools, laid pipe line, etc., and earned $1.00 a day. Even though we were deprived of the bare necessities of life, we were abundantly blessed with love — from our parents, and from each other. We were always taught to be thankful for what we did have. W ith economic misery came breakdowns of health, marriages and even faith — in a lime when it was needed the most. My parents parted and we moved to Michigan with my mother. We lived on a small farm and at last, food was not our primary con­ cern in life. BPW endorses Burdick for County Drain Commissioner Tuesday.

RV* �The Hostings Bonner, Thursday, October 21, 1982 — Page 6 County Board has chance to help small business, industry, agriculture at virtually no cost A brighter outlook for attracting new small businesses to Barry County and helping existing companies expand is right around the corner, if commissioners on the county board vote to make it happen A program that has been successful in Kalamazoo and has the potential here to create new local jobs, increase the local tax base, and expand businesses is available to the county at virtually no cost. All the county has to do is vote to join the Kalamazoo Small Business Development Center (KSBDC) to be eligible to provide low interest rate loans to businesses and in­ dustries, according to County Board Chairman Kenneth Radant. To date. Radant and Commissioner James Gordon have been the key proponents in joining, but the county board has tabled the matter for futher study. The possibility of membership in the KSBDC is expected to receive further discussion when com­ missioners meet Tuesday, October 26. If the county does decide to join the KSBDC, the low interest rate loans would be available in the county “at the very least within 90 days” of membership, according to David Harrison. KSBDC chairman and senior vice president of First National Bank and Trust Company of Michigan. The KSBDC is a certified development company that comes under the umbrella of the provisions of the Small Business Ad­ ministration's (SBA) Section 503 program. Through the program, the KSBDC and commercial banks work together to make up to 90 percent of a project cost available for the expansion of local or new industry in a community at an interest rate which is typically below that available con­ ventionally, Harrison said. The loans restrict use of the borrowed funds tu fixed assests including buildings, equipment, and machinery and also are available to farmers for such uses as a milking parlor, silo, barn, etc. Harrison explains that the commercial bank takes a first lien interest in the property and advances up to 50 percent of the project costs and the KSBDC. through the SBA. takes a second lien position and advances 40 percent of the project cost. This results in a blended loan rate which results in a final package that is between one and three percent below current market, he said. The SB A loans (of 40 percent of the project costs) are backed by the Treasury Depart­ ment of the U.S. government wnich sells treasury bonds, Harrison said. "The government has set aside $600 million for this type of loan in 1982. The ceiling on loans through the KSBDC is $500,000. And the term of a loan can be as long as 25 years. What would the cost be to Barry County for involvement in the KSBDC? “Virtually none." said Harrison. He qualified his statement by saying there would be almost no cost as long KSBDC did not have to hire additional personnel. “Volume will be the determinate," he said. The only possible costs Harrison can forsee for the county would be any legal expenses that might be involved in changing KSBDCs by-laws to include Barry. He estimated that expense would be in the neighborhood of $400-$500. Harrison said KSBDC has been operating about two years and Kalamazoo has not spent any out-of-pocket funds to run the program. He said expenses are defrayed from income KSBDC receives from fees derived from the loans it makes. Successful is the way he describes the loan program, "...we have successfully packaged and made loans totaling in excess of one million dollars fostering new business development which would presumably not have occurred otherwise." In a year, KSBDC has closed four loans and has about nine pending. Loans have been granted to a variety of Kalamazoo County businesses that run the gamut from a barber shop to a chemical company and from a law firm to an eye glass manufacturer. KSBDC has processed loans for as small as $30,000 and $40,000 in addition to larger amounts. "It really isn't worthwhile for anything under $25,000,” he said. The counties of Calhoun and Branch have recently given firm commitments to join KSBDC, Harrison said. KSBDCs board of directors is interested in increased par­ ticipation of outlying counties in the organization. "We think its a worthwhile effort and a good tool," he said. "Southwest Michigan will be viable if we can get our acts together.” Gerald Vincent spelled and just won $1OO,OOO. He’s one of fifteen $100,000 “Top 10” Bonus Anniversary winners. Over 20 $100,000 winners left. The “Top 10" winners are pouring in. $10,000 instant winners...and Michigan Lottery 10th Anniversary Bonus winners of $100,000. There are still millions of winning tickets left. So, play “TOP 10? Your chances were never better! MICHIGAN LOTTERY SUPPORTS EDUCATION. Through cooperation, he believes, this area can be a strong economic center rather than have one area competing against another for new business and expansions. If Barry joins, it would probably have two residents of the county on the KSBDC board, based on SBA guidelines of potential activity. Barry would also have representation on the loan committee, which serves as an ex­ tension of the KSBDC board. “This is a grass roots sort of thing." says Harrison, adding that he hopes to persuade one of the local banks to provide a part-time advisory person to deal directly with any local questions if Barry joins KSBDC. Local bankers appear to be in favor of the concept of joining KSBDC. One is Larry J. Kornstadt, vice president of the National Bank of Hastings. He told Radant in a letter that “this program sounds like one more way for Barry County to grow and attract new business. “As a banker in our fine county I am very interested in seeing Barry County par­ ticipate in this program through the KSBDC. I can right now recall some small businesses that didn't make it because there was no financing available with a favorable term or interest rate." Kornstadt said. , Ronald Story, president of the Ionia County National Bank, said Ionia County has recently sent a letter of intent to join a similar effort. “Having the program available could be the deciding factor on whether or not the (a) company will choose Barry County for ex­ pansion. Many of the counties we are com­ peting with for industry can offer this program. Therefore. I feel you should too,” he told Raaant. The 1982 Homecorning Court. (Standing) Chris Earl, Steve Conner.

Thursday, October 21, 19B2 — Page 10 Wolpe says Republicans misrepresenting programs 7' PUBLIC HEARING Republicans are misrepresenting both their lax programs and the federal budget cuts. U.S. Rep. Howard Wolpe (D-Delta Township) told his fellow Democrats, Saturday. Speaking to a Democratic gathering at Carlton Grange, Wolpe said that many people think Reagan is cutting the federal budget, but it turns out that federal spending has gone up and federal deficits are larger than ever under Reaganomics. “The deficit is greater than the deficits combined in the 1960’s and 1979’s,” he said. He said that cuts in education and other programs are being offset by increases in defense spending and revenue reductions from tax cuts “to the wealthiest in society." "The jobless, the poor, the farmers and senior citizens are becoming the scapegoats for the financial building over in the Pen­ tagon," Wolpe said. Wolpe said that many people fpel powerless, but the support of the people has made a difference in turning around some of Reagan s programs. He pointed to the recent Reagan veto on a spending bill that was overturned by Congress. “Reagan did not want more money for senior citizens jobs programs and education," Wolpe continued. “He wanted $2 billion more for the defense buildup. The citizens grass roots pressure really made a difference (in overturning the veto)." Turning his attention to the other can­ didates present, Wolpe called Bob Edwards. Democratic candidate for state represen­ tative in the 88th District, one of the finest candidates in the state seeking a seal in the legislature. He said the county would be fortunate to have Edwards experience and know-how in Lansing. "He used to lobby the heck out of us," Wolpe said of the former lobbyist for the Michigan Townships Association. U.S. Rep. Howard Wolpe points o finger at state Son. Steve Monsma as the man to vote for in the Fifth District. Lookon are Bob Edwards and Pam Landon.

Rabbits are in good supply throughout the district. Waterfowl migration is still not quite underway and hunting is limited to local birds. Even so, hunters are having good success for geese, mallards, wood ducks, and teal. Look for small ponds and im­ poundments, also marches off creeks and rivers. Hunters are encouraged not to shoot at late flying wood ducks as they commonly fly into roost after shooting hours. This late shooting besides being against the law, also causes the ducks to shy away from that area and will make them continue on with migration sooner. Alegan managed areas: The goose kill is from October 12 to 19. The youth hunt at the farm unit will be October 23. Hunting parties made up of only one 21-year old adult and one or two 12-17 year-olds with appropriate licenses will be given priority. Watch out for the opossum in fall Fall is a time of the year when animals become more active, partially in preparation for the coming winter. John Lerg of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, says roadsides are a favorite hunting area for the opossum, and after dark it is not uncommon to ‘catch one' in car headlights. Opossums either freeze or run off when caught in a headlight, but since they can’t run very fast, often become a car fatality. "Opossums seem to be noticeably more active as they scavenge for food,” says Lerg. “Opossums eat almost anything from fruits and berries to carrion. They only prerequisite is that the food is relatively easy to catch." Lerg says opossums don’t have to be a highway casualty if people use their heads. "The best advice 1 can give is when you’re driving and see an animal, stow down and expect the unexpected. Many animals could be spared each year by heeding to this simple advice," says Lerg. Michigan fall means fishing If you’ve ever dreamed of "limiting out" on your favorite Michigan game fish on a lake or stream that seems to have been reserved just for you, now is the time to try. Autumn in Michigan produces just that ef­ fect every year on many of its inland waterways not designated as trout streams or lakes. With the onset of fall, it seems, the state’s bass, walleye, perch, bluegill, and pike fisheries are largely ignored as anglers turn their attention to the salmon and steelhead rivers for the fall spawning runs. Some even "hang-up” their rods altogether in an­ ticipation of hunting season. As a result, more and more fishing enthusiasts are discovering that some of the most relaxing and productive, fishing can be enjoyed on Michigan’s non-trout streams, inland lakes, and Great Lakes waters after summer ends. The Michigan Travel Bureau’s toll-free Conditions Report Line (800-292-5404 in Michigan; 800-248-5708 outside Michigan) gives regularly updated information on what is biting, where and on what 24 hours a day. The Bureau also provides free literature on Michigan's fishing laws and season, where to find them, and how to catch them. To make the most of your fall fishing experience, write the Michigan Travel Bureau, P.O. Box 30226, Lansing, Michigan, 48909. Hunters offered helpful maps, books Michigan hunters getting ready for the small and big-game seasons are reminded by the Michigan Untied Conservation Clubs (MUCC) to include accurate, up-to-date maps as part of their hunting equipment. Topographic maps prepared by the United States Geological Survey are an invaluable aid to hunters, according to MUCC, the state's largest map dealer. These maps show the locations of trails, campsites, river and stream crossings, springs and many other features of interest to sportsmen and women. They can help hunters plan trips into game areas and are especially important in helping hun'ers avoid becoming lost. MUCC stocks a complete array of topo maps covering every part of the state in extensive detail. h!1 of the maps are described in MUCC’s "Map Index," which can be used for ordering individual maps. Copies of the "Map Index" are available free to anyone sending a business size, self­ addressed envelope with 40 cents postage affixed to MUCC, Box 30235, Lansing, Michigan. 48909.

John Whitman, Democratic candidate for stale Senate in the 13th District, is a long­ time Wolpe supporter, the congressman said. Wolpe said that Whitman helped him in his first campaign for Kalamazoo city council in 1969. "He represents the kinds of values and redirection of priorities needed at the state and federal level.’’ Wolpe said. Monsma told the audience of some 250 that his race against Sawyer will be decided in the next two weeks and he pledged to cam­ paign constantly. "The politics of the past are not going to do," he said. “We cannot accept $150 billion deficits, 10 percent employment — 15 percent in Michigan — and farming going under." Monsma also said the people are not getting the right facts about his voting record from Sawyer's commercials. "They are outright falsehoods, claiming I voted one way on a bill when I voted another way," he said. "Sawyer may have more dollars, more on TV, but we've got more people behind us." as low as...

(Banner photo) �Area High School Football results Sports Hastings 14-Albion 7 What a difference a week can make. Two weeks ago the Hastings football team played its worst game of the year against Harper Creek. Last Friday night Saxon coach Jeff Simpson wondered if maybe his learn would crumble Iwo weeks in a row. There was no way. Hastings used a potent running attack in topping Albion 14-7 in the school’s annual homecoming game. Hastings reversal in form was no accident. Simpson said his team went through an extra hard week of practice in preparation for the game. “The kids came back big after the (Harper Creek) defeat.” said Simpson. "They really sucked it up. I have to hand it to them." Hastings used it’s rushing game to ac­ cumulate a season-high total of 257 yards on the ground. Bruce Martin had 144 yards on 18 carries while Louie Burroughs had 113 yards on 19 attempts for Hastings. The passing attack, however, wasn’t nearly as effective as quarterback Steve Conner hit only one of three for eight yards. Burroughs scored the first points of the game late in the second quarter when he sped around right end for 40 yards. The extra point made it 74) al the half. Albion tied the game in the third quar »r77 with a touchdown, and it looked for a while like the two teams would be playing over­ time. But the Saxons drove to the Wildcat 11yard with three minutes left. Bruce Martin then took the ball over from there and the defense hung on for the 14-7 win. Even though the Saxons scored a pair of touchdowns and had their highest rushing total of the season. Simpson thought his team could have done more. Hastings fumbled twice at crucial times and also failed to connect with open receivers on a couple of other occasions. "I felt like maybe we could have had four or five more touchdowns," he said. "We established ourselves early, but that first fumhle (at the Albion one-yard line) took the wind out of our sails.” Simpson had special praise for Burroughs. Martin and the offensive line. "Both Burroughs and Martin had good second efforts. Our line did a better job of blocking his week." said Simpson. "We're still hurting on our pass blocking, though. We re just not holding our blocks long enough." Defensively. Simpson felt his team looked good. The Wildcats were limited to 164 rushing yards and 49 through the air. Martin intercepted a pair of passes while making 11 tackles. Craig Brand led the team with 16 tackles and Willie Barry had 15. Dan DeDecker was credited with 13. "Albion has the potential of the b>g play," said Simpson. “They have a good option quarterback, but our defense hung in there real well. We did a good job of holding them from the big play ’’ The win ups Hastings to 2-3 in the Twin Valley and a fifth place tie with Albion and Sturgis. Tlie Saxons are 3-3 overall and travel to Hillsdale (1-5) this week. Delton 21 • Mattawan 0 Rusty Carroll scored three touchdowns and rushed for 151 yards on 26 carries last Friday to lead Delton to a 21-0 win over Mattawan. Car roll didn't waste any time in scoring his trio of touchdowns. He scored in the opening quarter on a one-yard dive and Jim Van Hoose s extra point made it 74). Carroll scored again in the second quarter on another one-yard plunge. He also ran for the two-pointer for a 154) halftime lead. Carroll scored his final touchdown in the third period on a six-yard scamper. Delton missed the extra point kick, but Delton was able to hang on for the 214) win. Delton coach Fred Pessell said he was happy with his team’s play, particularly the offensive line. "They had a lot to do with Carroll’s suc­ cess," said Pessell of Delton’s line. "It think it was definitely one of our better offensive games. The line just did a super job.” Delton was able to rush for 253 yards, but could only complete one of seven passes for 31 yards. The Panthers had a total of 16 first downs. Defensively, Pessell singled out linemen Kyle Aukerman and Rick Boyle and linebacker Brent McCowan. The Panther defense only let Mattawan into its territory once to the 25-yaru line, but Mattawan lost the ball on downs. "We hit very well," said Pessell of the defense "Theentire defense played well. We just played well both offensively and defensively and it showed on the scoreboard." Delton raised its record to 2-4 overall and 23 in the league. Mattawan fell to 1-5 and 6-4. Jeff Sheler scored on a seven-yard run in the second period to complete the scoring. Lake wood drops to 0-6 overall and 0-4 in the league. Coopersville is now 5-1 and 4-0. Caledonia 21 - Middleville 8 For the third straight week ThornappleKellogg made big mistakes al critical times. And for the third straight week the Trojans suffered a loss that could have been prevented. Last Friday Middleville lost a tough decision to Caledonia 21-8. Four times in the opening period the Trojans came up interceptions, tnree by Rob Picard, only to have their offense lose the ball within two plays. That type of play by his team left Page shaking his head in bewilderment. “Il was a disaster," said Page of the sequen :e of plays. "We couldn't run a play. It was a comedy of errors. I’ve never seen anything like it before.” Caledonia didn't exactly take the op­ portunites to salt the game away, but did manage to take advantage of the last tur­ nover at the Trojan 15-yard line. Quar­ terback Ron Schultz eventually scored from the one on a keeper and the extra point gave the Fighting Scots a 7-0 lead after one period. Rob Koehl made it 14-0 in the second period with a 77-yard run and Dick Creasy scored on a 63-yard fumble recovery to up the margin to 21-0 at the half. Thornapple-Kellogg finally settled down in the third period as Jim Schipper hit Rob Picard with a 33-yard strike to move the ball to the Caledonia one-yard line. From there Dave VanSickle took it over and the twopoint conversion made the final 21-8. Page said even though Caledonia scored 21 points, the Middleville defense played well "I wasn't totally disatisfied with our defense. 1 didn't feel they played too bad." said Page “We just had too many break­ downs on offense. That’s all she wrote.” Statistically, Middleville finished with 147 yards in the air ands 103 more rushing yards. Caledonia had 45 passing yards and 196 on the ground. This week Middleville takes on highlyregarded Comstock Park (5-1). Maple Valley 31 ■ St. Philip 20 Scoring points in bunches is something Maple Valley’s football team hasn’t quite mastered this season. But maybe it isn’t too late for the Lions to learn how. Last Friday against Battle Creek St. Philip, Maple Valley broke open a 6-6 lie in the third period with 25 points en route to a 31-20 trouncing of the Tigers.

Chris Barton scored from there on the next play to give Maple Valley an early 12-6 lead in the third period. After Maple Valley recovered a fumble on the St. Philip 21-yard line a few minutes later. Barton scored again to up the lead to 18-6. Maple Valley held the Tigers on its next possession forcing them to punt. The Lions look the punt on its own 40-yard, and on the next play Reid raced 60 yards for another touchdown. Tom DeGroot kicked the extra point for a 25-6 lead. St Philip’s Chris Hickey scored late in the third quarter on a one-yard run, but MartyMar Un ran the kickoff back 76 yards for a 3114 lead. St. Philip scored on a 10-yard pass with seven seconds left in the game to cut the margin to the final 31-20 counL Hickey had opened the game's scoring on a 24-yard run. but Martin grabbed a 29-yard scoring strike from Randy Joostberns to tie the game at 6-6 ai the half.

FEELIN' FIT — DANCE EXERCISE FOR YOUTH: Starting the week of November 1 and continuing until the week of December 17 (six weeks), the YMCA-Youth Council will be starting its second session of Feelin’ Fit for Youth. Feelin’ Fit is a cardiovascular fitness program designed for youth. Each class period has a value concept given, and dances and exercises that are especially designed for youth. Each class is reserved for 20 in­ dividuals and pre-registration is required. The following is the list of the second session classes: grades K-l - Mondays, 4 p.m. - 5 p.m. at Northeastern; grades 2-3 Mondays and Wednesdays, 2:45 p.m. - 3:45 p.m. at St. Rose; grades 4-5 - Mondays and son, 1-5 overall and 1-3 SI MAA. Coach Dan Watson is hopeful his team won’t be looking ahead a week when the Lions lake on un­ beaten Pennfieid on October 29. Watson says his team “learned a lesson­ last week, against lowby BatUe Creek St Philip. The Tigers playa d Maple Valley to a 6-6 halftime lie before th e Lions exploded for 25 third period points. Watson doubts his i<>am will be looking ahead again. No, I don t think no. We're more con­ cerned with injuries. .'Right now we’ve got three linemen down." says Watson. Winless Lake wood bias its best chance in weeks to notch a win when they travel to Cedar Springs. The I ted Hawks have only won once in six gam«>s. Lakewood coach T im Wood says Cedar Springs is a good defe nsive team, but has had it's problems on offe nse. “We match up good with them,” says Wood of the Red Hawks. "Probably better than with anybody we've played all year ” Lakewood is coming off a 14-0 loss to league-leader Coopersville. Delton .2-4 overall, is another team with an excellent chance to i nove up in the standings They go to Paw Pav; to take on the Redskins 2-4 overall. “They’ve had thuir ups and downs," says Delton coach Fred Pessell of the Redskins. “They've run into some tough teams. They played good defense for the first part of the season, but they've been scored on the last couple of games.’ ’ Delton is coming off a 21-6 shutout of Mattawan which was highlighted by three touchdowns by R usty Carroll. One team whichdoesn’lhavea breather on Friday is Middleville. The Trojans 2-4 overall, will host Comstock Park, winners of five of six gam es. The Colts are currently tied for first in the league. The last three games the Trojans have been guilty of critical mistakes at inop­ portune times}, something ThornappleKellogg coach Kay Page wants to reverse on Friday. “I didn’t feel, our defense played that bad against Caledonia," he says. “But we just had too many breakdowns on offense. We can't do that against Comstock. We know they’ll be tounh.” By David Storms, Y-Youth Council Director Wednesdays. 2:30 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. at Southeastern; grades 6-8 - Mondays at Southeastern and Thursdays al Northeastern from 3:45 p.m. - 4:45 p.m. The cost of the six-week program is $10 for those in grades 2-8, and $5 for those in grades K-l.

Lakewood's football team failed in an upset bid last Friday night losing to Tri­ River League-leader Coopersville 144). Lakewood might have had a shot at uptting Coopersville, but the Vikings couldn't generate much offense. They had only three first downs, 18 yards on the ground, and 38 through the air. Viking coach Tim Wood said the lack of offense was the difference between winning and losing the game. "We did not move the ball," he said. “But Coopersville is a very good team. Their line just bested our line." Wood said he was pleased with his defense, which shut out Coopersville in the second half. "Yes I was pleased with them,” said Wood. They didn't break down They bent a little bit from the 20 to the 20. but when it came time they didn't break." Wood singled out cornerbacks Doug Curtis and Sieve Spetoski for their defensive play. Coopersville scored in the first period on a 37-yard pass from Mike Hansen to Troy Strause. The two-point conversion gave them an 84) lead. happy with his team in the first half. He said they might have been looking ahead of themselves to the October 29 game with unbeaten Pennfieid. “We just played terrible in the first half,” said Watson. "At halftime I just told the kids it was up to them. I didn't chew them out. I just told them they were a good team and to go out and play like it.” Watson said he was especially pleased with the ways in which Maple Valley scored. "That’s the quickest we’ve scored all year. We executed very well. Their backs on defense shifted over and we just bleu it open on them.” said Watson of the big plays. Defensively. Tony Dunkelburger had 17 tackles and Dale Montague added 11. Joostberns had two of five interceptions by Maple Valley. Maple Valley had 282 rushing yards to 151 for St. Philip. Reid had his fifth straight 100yard game finishing with 158. The Lions completed only one of nine passed for 29 yards while St. Philip com­ pleted nine of 24 for 161 yards. The win ups the Lions record to 5-1 overall and 4-0 in the league. If a team is out of contention by the seventh week of the high school football season, often limes ’he players will turn their attention elsewhere. Like to winter sports such as basketball or wrestling. A check of area grid teams' records shows that more a couple are out of contention for any league title this fall. In other words, it might be time to pump up the basketballs or drag out the wrestling mats. Only one area team, Maple Valley at 44), is over .500 in its league. The rest are hopelessly out of contention for cham­ pionship honors. Only Hastings, 2-3 in the Twin Valley, and Delton, 2-3 in tne Kalamazoo Valley Association, have any hopes at all of a first division finish. Middleville, 14 in the OK-Blue, and Lakewood, 0-4 in the Tri-River League, are fighting to stay out of their league's respective cellars. With three weeks to go in the season anything could happen, but if any of the teams are going to make a move it belter happen this week. And it would appear the schedule would favor at least four of the local teams. Hastings (3-3 overall) travels to Hillsdale this Friday. The hapless Hornets currently occupy last place in the Twin Valley as they are winless in five conference games. Hillsdale is 1-5 overall. Saxon coach Jeff Simpson isn't about to lake the Hornets lightly, however. "They have a good running back, a good quarterback and they have a good receiver,” says Simpson. “They have some people, they just haven't been able to put it together yet. They’ve suffered some breakdowns at bad times." Hastings will be coming off a pulsating 14-7 homecoming win over Albion. That win was a big one for Hastings since it came on the heels of a disaster at Harper Creek two weeks ago. Simpson will have to search for a happy medium between his team's last two games. “The kids really came back from that defeat," says Simpson. "They really sucked it up. I have to hand it to them.” Maple Valley (5-1 overalDfaces a different problem this week as they entertain Bron- court playing, and waiting teams playing the winner. NEW, DEVELOPMENTAL MOVEMENT CLASS FOR KINDERGARTEN AND FIRST GRADERS: Starting the week of November 1 (in conjunction with Fedin' Fit), the YMCA-Youth Council will be starting a new movement class for those in kindergarten and those in the fit st grade.

Fred Bishop. Frieda and John Hewitt, Keith and Margaret Lechleitner, Agnes and Wayne Snyder and Ruth and Russ Zerbel. The 1932 team finished second in its league losing only to East Lansing 7-0. The team, which had 10 all-league selections, outscored the opposition 155-27. The Hastings Marching Band recently received a second division rating at the District 10 Marching Band Festival. Twelve bands performed at the festival. Hastings Band Director Jack Bender said about the festival, "We were extremely disapointed with our rating. But we’ve learned from it and we'll just work that much harder. It was good experience just to go and observe other bands." travel °f ’Weep5 ?nd °9aini'Albion- This week ,he Sa«°"s trave! to H.l sdcle to ploy the Hornets.

The less dropped Hastings to 9-2 overall and 7-2 in the league. The Saxons offense took the night off as the girls hit only 30 per cent (15 of 50) of their field goal attempts. Saxon coach Pat Purgiel said that, and a lack of defense, were probably the keys to the game. “For thv first time this year I felt our defense let us down,” he said."Our offense had difficulty all night.” Hastings trailed 12-10 al the end of one period and then 26-20 at the half. Whatever chance Hastings had of climbing back in to the game fell by the wayside in the third period Jackson outscored the Saxons 11-3 to take a 37-23 lead at the end of three quarters. Kelly Mogg led Hastings with 16 points and nine rebounds. Paula Atkinson added seven points and nine rebounds. Hastings next game will be October 26 al home.

The proposed ordinance to grant and regulate a non-exclusive franchise to Charter Telecommunications Inc. of Michigan went down in defeat because it failed to garner support by a two-thirds majority of the council as required by the city charter. Voting against the franchise were Patrick W. Vaught., Gordon L. Bennett, and William B. Cusak. Casting affirmative votes were Mary E. Spackman, Mary Lou Gray, Gordon Fuhr, and David Jasperse William R. Cook abstained. After the vote, the council did ask City Attorney Richard Shaw to draw up a proposed agreement which would grant an easement to Charter Telecommunications for access it needs through the city to fulfill its previous commitments to service areas in Rutland and Hastings townships. The council is expected to review the easement proposal at its next meeing. The city of Hastings is already serviced by Triad CATV, Inc. and during the public hearing portion of the meeting Triad president, C. Wayne Wright, told the council that its vote for a second franchise could be "devastating." Wright said his opinion was documented by­ information he had received from the National Cable Television Association which The Hastings said it is difficult for more than one cable system to survive in a market area. Letters to Triad Subscribers from Wright stated that "only five out of approximately 10,000 franchise areas in the United States have dual cable systems." Wright cited his company's experience with a dual system in the Albion area: "Due to the high start-up costs, which require about five years to break even, even in a single-system market, both systems lost money. The quality of services (including Triads) fell off due to the attempt to minimize losses. After Triad bought out the competition in 1975, we were forced to raise our rates to pay for the lossses and the buy <»ut In other words, the subscribers were the losers/’ he said. Wright said Triad has a half million dollars invested in Hastings and plans to protect its investment. “Triad has 10,000 customers in two slates and if we have to keep pouring funds in here (to battle a competitor*, we’ll do it." He also told the council that Triad's earth station for Hastings has been completed so all satellite channels are directly received. Jasperse noted that Triad had improved its service since Charter had come to the city with its request. Chuck Leonard of Charter said the com­ pany's original request was for an easement and that Charter's service to area townships Bd.FI Fl 6 F Devoted to the Interests of Barry County Since 1856 Price 20c — ■■■■'■ Vol. 127. No. 42 Hastings, Michigan Thursday, October 28,1982 County board battles over budget by Norma Peterson The Barry County Board of Com­ missioners adopted a $4 1 million budget, Tuesday, on a 6-5 vote after turning it down on a 6-5 vole. The critical arguments in the debate centered on longevity pay for elected of­ ficials, an issue raised by Commissioner Richard Sunior, who favored adding the pay to the budget. "There is no way you can ask eve: yone in Hiis county to stand still and then give someone else a raise." Commissioner Paul Kief said. -Um- are you going to raise wages and justify that to the 17.4 percent that aren't getting a paycheck?" Initially, the budget was defeated 6-5, with Sunior, and Commissioners Edward Daniels, Jack Love, Walter Soya, Richard Landon and Otis Hermenitt voting against it. In favor were Kiel, and Commissioners Kenneth Radant, James Gordon. Albert Bell and P. Richard Dean. Following the defeat, Sunior said he voted against the budget because it didn't include longevity pay for elected officials, which would liave added $5,300. Sunior also said that the commissioners' pay had been reduced by $17,000 because the size cf Die board will be cut from 11 to seven members next year. Sunior made a motion to adopt the budget with an ammendmenl to add the $5,300. "This is a very difficult matter to vote on; be cognizant of the fact that the personnel people on this board have negotiations coming up. ’ Board Chairman Radant said. Kiel added that if the board has the money for longevity, then it has the money for salary increases for county employees. "We're either honest or dishonest," Kiel said. Sunior's motion was defeated 8-3, with Gordon, Soya and Sunior voting in favor. Sunior then switched his vote on the new budget, minus the ammendment. and the measure was approved 6-5. Soya objected to the budget for the Department of Social Services, questioning "an extra $10,000" for the department. He said that he had contacted the department director to find out how the money was spent, but the director was not available to discuss iL Gordon, chairman of the finance com­ mittee. suggested that Soya put a report on social services before the board. “It's not worth the hassle," Soya replied. "The vote is everybody would vote for it or it’s 6-5. We're outnumbered up here,” he said of his voting partners. "You're running for commissioner and it’s not worth the hassle?" Gordon responded. Daniels also criticized the budget, saying that the finance committee didn’t cut it, they just shifted it around. “Why don’t you put your budget before us?" Gordon challenged. Hermenitt told the board that Eaton County had been able to make cuts that he felt Barry County wasn't making. Gordon, however, said that comparisons with other counties must be made with care, with a look at every factor. "Eaton County has had tremendous development,” Gordon said. Laying the budget before the board, Gordon said that it contains no salary in­ creases and no new positions over 1982. He noted that there will be no increase in salary for the commissioners even though the board will change from 11 to seven members in January. No dollars are being budgeted for capital improvements or remodelling for depart­ ments, Gordon said, including purchase of new vehicles, equipment and construction. The Road Commission will receive an increase of $10,000 from 1982, receiving a total of $90,000. "It's a very strict budget and places a burden on the managers of the county and the department heads to put in place good management practices,” Gordon said. He said the budget is reasonable so that basic functions can take place. Dr. Edward Larkin, Health Department director, asked the commission to raise his budget allocation from $190,000 to $206,000, which he said was needed. The department's budget is split on a 34-66 basis between Eaton and Barry counties. Larkin said the county faced some “new and unusual situations", citing major dif­ ficulties at the Sherrod, KAVCO and Mesick landfills, environmental concerns and water quality problems. The department is also operating without a receptionist, he said. "1 plead for the $206,000 consic eration." he said. In other action: .— The board accepted federal revenue sharing of $244,336, a cut of $75,000 from 1982. The funds were already incorporated into the general funu budget. Finalization of the revenue sharing will take place at the Nov. 9 meeting at 9:45 a.m. — The board unanimously approved the 1982 apportionment report. — A r ’solution approving the BID project plan for funding through the Economic Development Corporation was passed. Kidnap-rape on Saturday under investigation Stale police from the Wayland post are investigating the kidnapping and rape of a 16-year-old Hastings girl which occurred Saturday night. Two 16-year-olds. whom a Wayland spokesman describes as boyfriend and girlfriend, were hitchiking west of Hastings around 11 p.m. Saturday when they were picked up by a brown chevy van, driven by two men. According to the spokesman, the suspects drove the couple around Wayland and Shelbyville, then “released’' the boyfriend from Hie van west of Shelbyville. The suspects then allegedly raped the girl, and dropped her off just north of Shelbyville. The suspects' vehicle is described as a late model, dark brown Chevy van with standard wheels, and windows on the sliding side door and back. The interior is fully carpeted, and there are bucket seats in front. The suspects are described as two white males in their lale-20s to mid-305. The driver has a full beard, and a dark leather jacket. The passenger is described as having a mustache and a medium-length haircut with his ears showing. opposed a $40,000 performance bond that was part of the proposed franchise. Leonard said the bond would be “an extreme liability on the part of (his) company." Shaw said clianges in the proposed fran­ chise could not have been made Monday night because the charter provides for a four week waiting period before a vote can be taken on a changed ordinance. Wilcox told the council that “our intention was never to come in to compete and steal the franchise. We just Arant to fulfill our committment (to townships)... We don't want to be greedy. The need was displayed by some citizens for a better cable system." "Nobody makes out on a dual franchise necessarily We re in Barry doing marginal areas. Hastings has the highest density of population. Our intent is not to chase the other company out of town. Bui the city can make the decision if (a second franchise benefits citizens," he said. In other business, the council accepted the low bid of $10,110 from Sherriff-Goslin Co. of Battle Creek for a new roof for the library. Funds for the project will come from the unappropriated surplus. The council also agreed to write a letter to the Michigan Department of Labor requesting assistance in surveying economic planning for the county in conjunction with a similar letter sent by the county’s economic development commission. Joe Labozzelta, owner of the former Sport's Bar which was destroyed by fire last year, asked permission to use city property for a parking lot for a new bar he hopes to open downtown at a different location. The matter was refered to the council's property committee for further study. After the city council's next regular meeting, members will hold a closed session to discuss labor negotiations. Boating mishap Man drowns in Thornapple Lake A 76-year-old Hastings man was pronounced dead at Pennock Hospital after he was found floating in the Thomapple Lake channel Tuesday afternoon. Barry County Sheriff deputies say George Hofer, of 2905 S. Charlton Park Rd., probably fell in the water while attempting to beach his boat. Attendants from the Hastings Ambulance Service performed CPR on Hofer at the scene, before transferring the victim to Pennock, where attempts to revive him were unsuccessful, according to deputies. A Barry- County medical examiner ruled that death was caused by asphyxiation due to drowning. Arrangements are pending at the Richard A. Henry Funeral Home in Battle Creek.

"We can't circumvent the city,” he said, also noting that “time is critical." If underground cables have to be used, the cut-off for digging is November 30. Leonard and Gary Wilcox, also of Charter, had expressed opposition during the hearing to the wording in several clauses of the proposed franchise. They said that the proposal stipulated that construction must be completed within a year, a deadline they did not believe they could meet.

Middleville police say that a Jackson Prison parolee, arrested early Monday morning, has confessed to 17 of 18 business break-ins which have occurred in that town since July. After a month-long nighttime surveillance of the downtown area, police arrested Jimmy Chester Vaughn, 29. of 14 Railroad St.. Middleville. He was arraigned Tuesday in District Court for attempted breaking and entering with intent to commit larceny, and possession of burglary tools. A Nov. 1 date has been set for Vaughn's preliminary exam. According to Middleville Patrolman Mike Leedy. Vaughn was scene running across the street at 4 a.m. Monday as Leedy and two other patrolmen, Boyd Cain and Mark Marine, conducted a surveillance of the downtown Middleville area. Leedy said they then found Vaughn at the back door of White's Products. According to Leedy, the business's door w-as open, and Vaughn was wearing gloves and carrying burglary tools. According to Leedy, Vaughn has four prior arrests for burglary, and was released from Jackson Prison on parole in July. Vaughn reportedly confessed to 17 of 18 burglaries which have occurred in Mid­ dleville since July. These include break-ins at Cappon Shell, Middleville Inn, Mid­ dlemart. the Mobil Station. Shear Pleasure and two doctors offices. Leedy said his department has been conducting nightly surveillances in secret for the past month, and that Sunday night was the last chance his department had to mak# an arrest, due to considerations of overWne pay for the patrolmen Dr. William Baxter School board President Dr. William Baxter, called decisions by adults to deny certain rights to children "in­ defensible", at a K-12 study group kickoff Tuesday night. "The rights of children are im­ portant," said Baxter. “Decisions by adults to deny these rights either by convenience or tax savings is wrong and in­ defensible. Children are important, and their rights must be defended." "Are we satisfied with a five hour day? With no library services? With no counselor sen-ices? With outdated textbooks, and buses in use that should be replaced?...If we are satisfied, then the study's completed and we can all go home,” said Baxter. “H's a tribute to this community that so many people take the time to contribute to this kind of committee," said Baxter. He noted that the last time such a committe was formed was in 1966, when citizens and staff gathered to study curriculum design in conjunction with the construction of the high school. He told the approximately 160 citizens and staff that they had until Feb. 21 to complete the study, but that that date could be ex­ tended by the txiard if committee members needed more time. He also offered the use of school facilities "on the snur of the moment", and said committee chairmen could call as many meetings as they wished. The rest of the evening was taken up by meetings of study group members who retired to separate rooms with their respective committees for round one.. United way �The Hastings Banner, Thursday, October 28. 1982 - Page 2 Area officials tour road work throughout county Emergency workers gather around the vehicle driven by Lucille Price, who suffered minor injuries in a mishap at Barber and Gaskill Roads Saturday.

Leonard murder trial moved Change of venue was granted in Ithaca's 29th Circuit Court Wednesday for Carl Leonard, the former Middleville resident accused of murdering his brother. The change means that the trial will be held in neighboring Clinton County instead of Gratiot. A spokesman for the Gratiot County prosecutor explained that the case is “too well publicized" to assure Leonard of a fair trial in Gratiot County. A Feb. 1 trial date was also set Wednesday Leonard. 39, is currently serving time in the State Prison of Southern Michigan in Jackson on two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct. Leonard allegedly shot his brother, Charles Leonard, with a 16-gauge shotgun on Nov. 12, 1973 in Ithaca. Ala Sept. 29 preliminary exam in Gratiot's 65th District Court, the court heard testimony from Paul Stratton of Wayland that Carl Leonard shot his brother, and later paid Stratton $5,000 from insurance money to keep him quiet. The body of Charles Leonard was later found along a road west of Ithaca. Stratton. 41, is currently lodged in the Grotiot County jail on a charge of firstdegree murder stemming from the death of Charles Leonard. Michigan State Police arrested him July 22 at his home in Wayland Siralton, charged as an after-ihe-fact accomplice in the murder, earlier this month showed police where the gun was thi own into the river after the murder. He testified that Carl Leonard had bought the shotgun in Grand Rapids, and used it the same day to shoot his brother in Ithaca. Even with Stratton's help, a State Police diving team was unable to find the shotgun. A big break in the case came when State Police located a 16-gauge shotgun they believe was used in the murder. Police say a Grand Rapids area resident read a newspaper article seeking in­ formation about the gun and remembered restoring such a weapon his son had found several years ago. Police believe the gun was thrown into the Thornapple River near a bridge at 108th St. and Whitneyville Rd. a few hours after the murder of Charles Leonard. “This is amazing, unbelievable,’’ said State Police Trooper Lou Quinn, "That these people wno found the gun still lived here after all this time is something elso. That the father and son read the article and recognized the gun the son found is another weird thing. Il's been like a puzzle, with all the pieces filing together.” Carl Leonard married his brothers’ widow following the murder and moved to Mid­ dleville. w'here he owned a restaurant­ theatre and was president of the Middleville Junior Chamber of Commerce. Leonard is now serving 20-30 years in Jackson Prison on a March conviction for first-degree criminal sexual conduct in­ volving his i3-year-old stepdaughter. Family feud sparks shootout A Plainwell man is reported in fair con­ dition in Kalamazoo's Bronson Hospital after being shot through the abdomen Sunday moming outside the Orangeville Tavern. Barry County Sheriff deputies say Ronnie Lee Hall, 31. of 611 Gladys Place, probably became involved in "a long-standing feud between members of families". Deputies say thebulle* entered Hall's lower, left back, and became lodged in the abdomen. Hall was taken to Plainwell's Pipp Hospital about 12:30 a.m. Sunday, then transferred to Kalamazoo's Bronson Hospital, where he underwent surgery for removal of the bullet. Del. Sgt. Kenneth DeMott, of the Barry County Sheriff Department, says several shots had been fired and that "quite a few” people were in the area of the tavern Sunday morning. DeMott says that for the time being, the case will be called an attempted murder. No arrests have been made yet in con­ nection with the shooting, and the case is under investigation. Hunters rescued from Otis Lake Two hunters were treated at the scene for overexposure Friday afer their boat tipped over on Otis Lake. Sheriff deputies say Thomas Ray, 28. Bedford Rd., and Dennis Conklin, 19. Lawrence Rd., were duck hunting when one of the men rose to take a quick shot at a duck, tipping the boat. Conklin then swam to shore, and walked two miles to a DNR office, where the Sheriff Dept, was summoned to the lake. A DNR craft was then used to pull Ray from the lake. Both men were treated at the scene by Hastings Ambulance for overexposure, then taken to Pennock Hospital for observation. Area officials took a ride Wednesday and Thursday to inspect county road im­ provements. as part of the Barry County Road Tour. Wednesday, seven township supervisors climbed aboard a Barry County Transit Bus and set out on a circuitous, five-hour route which brought them past most of the 72 road improvements undertaken by the county road commission in the past two years. Among the highlights of this year's Road Tour: — Six-tenths of a mile of Marsh Road in Orangeville Township, where crews recently straightened a bad curve, involving much removal, grading, draining and the addition of a large gravel base. — One mile of Robertson Road, where a hill was graded to allow for better vision. — Six miles of top seal applied to Orchard and Pifer Roads in Barry Township. Man shoots self in gun club mishap A 24-year-old Hastings man was treated and released at Pennock Hospital Friday after he accidentally shot himself in the leg while target shooting. According to Barry County Sheriff Deputy George Howell, Kevin Hughes. 3140 Heath Rd., was silhouette shooting at the Barry County Conservation Club on Cook Rd., when he accidentally shot himself in the right calf with his .22 long pistol.

In most cases, money for the work came from 'ownship and road commission funds Despite cutbacks in state funding for county road commissions, the Barry County Road Commission saw more work in 1982 than in 1981. The commission used about 300 tons more of blacktop patching, layed twice as much bituminous mat. scaled 12 more miles of roads and spread 57 percent more gravel in 1982 than m 1981. In addition, the commission marked 36.8 miles of pavement, something which wasn't done at all in 1981. Flexfab buys competitor’s product line by Ken Reibel An agreement has been all but finalized between Flexfab Inc and a southern com­ petitor that will move several product lines, and about 20 jebs, to the Hastings firm. According to Bill Pierce, Flexfab co­ owner. the agreement with Flexible Tubing of Abbeyville. N.C., is ready for signing next week. The product lines to be moved here involve the manufacturing of certain types of silicon hoses, stitched due: oroducts. and pneumatic starter hose for jet engines, according to Pierce.

Police say the theft is open for further investigation. TOOL BOXES and assorted tools were reported stolen Thursday from a station wagon owned by Forest Blodgett, 7301 S. Bedford Road. Pierce says his company is buying Flexible Tubing's assets, which include machinery, tooling, raw material, technical data and purchase orders. "We believe that a majority of Flexible Tubing’s business has developed along other lines." said Pierce, when asked for the reason beind the sale. "We calculate that when these assets are put in order, it should increase employment to these jobs alone by 15 to 20 new jobs.” said Pierce, "But I think that's a conservative estimate.” However, ne added that the company's first priority is to call back the 13 employees that are now on layoff. "We've been in business 19 years, and this is the first year we've had to lay anybody off.” says Peirce. He said many of those new jobs could materialize by March. 1983. Pierce said his company will have to build a new addition to the plant to accomodate a 90-fool long machine, part of the purchase, which makes jet started hose. With the acquisition of Flexible Tubing's jet starter hose line, Flexfab will be one of two manufacturers of the hose in the coun­ try. The other, according to Pierce, is H.V. Porter, Aeroduct Div. of Kansas. "Il's a case of the man biting the dog,” explains Pierce. "We're stealing a few jobs from the south." Flexfab presently employs approximately 160 people.

Debbie Wood ■■1 don’t generally view things on one issue.' says Jack Berg of Hastings. "At a national level. I'm more interested in the nuclear freeze...that to me is pretty im­ portant. On a local or state level, it's things like reducing state costs, because the state of Michigan is going broke." Berg says he will split the ticket. “I’m going to vote for the Democrats who are not quite as war-niinded. and statewise I'm going to vote for the Republicans, because they're a little hit better business minded." “I’d like to see inflation controlled, and I'd like to see if we can find an honest politician." says Al Bancroft of Hastings. ••Those are my two issues." Bancroft says he will vote for a politician that works to balance the budget, and avoid defecit spending. "That way we can control inflation...inflation hurts everyone." says Bancroft "Undoubtedly, unemloyment is the number one issue,” says Henry Miller "Reagan talks about unemployment as the pill we must all swallow as a cure for a sick economy, but that's easier said than done, and I think the President in insensitive to that fact." Miller says that a policy of tolerance toward high unemployment "contradicts the work ethic that this country is built on." He calls Reaganomics a "blunder", and says any politician who turns his attention from high unemployment “is just as much a traitor to America as someone who steals military secrets and sells them to the Russians," "For me. that issue is abortion." says Dave Henry, of Hastings. "I'm against abortion too percent, and anyone that is for abortion I won't vote for." he says. "That’s about all I can see right now. There are probably other issues...but that's the one that stands out the most." Neva Smelker is most concerned with Propositions D and H. "I think right now. the energy issues are the most important. I really haven't paid much attention to the candidates.” "I don't see one issue standing out,' says Zane Nash of Hastings.

Thursday. October 28. 1982 — Page 3 Bender ties economy to agriculture and law changes by Robert J. Johnston Robert Bender, former chairman of the Barry County Board of Commissioners who is seeking the 88th District seat in the state House of Representatives, called for economic improvements here through law changes and agricultural development. He called jobs the common denominator of Robert Bender all economic policies. "There are differences between the par­ ties," he said. "My philosophy is that jobs liave to be created in the private sector. Government can provide incentives.” Bender contrasted that philosophy with the Democrats, who he said call for jobs in the public sector. •The last tiling we need is another government program, another government agency.” he said. Bender said he could contribute directly to the jobs creation effort through his background as a farmer Agrcullure, he said, is the largest single industry in the slate and particularly important to the 88th district. He pointed out that Michigan produces a number of agricultural products that are shipped out of slate for processing. Michigan, he said, then imports the processed products. "The livestock industry, for example.” he said, “buys soybean oil meal. You can't buy it here, it’s not processed. You have to buy it out of slate." Michigan, however, he said, has a big soybean crop each year. The 88lh District, he said, could benefit from having a processing plant, which would create jobs. An individual legislator can work to make the vehicles available to bring industry to a district by doing the legwork and making rontaclsm, he said. Bender refuted some Democratic charges that he would be the legislator from Michigan Farm Bureau. “My ties with agriculture and Farm Bureau are well known,” he said. "I have been active in Farm Bureau, was endorsed by AgriPAC (the o.ganization's political action committee), which contributed $400 to the general election and $1,000 to my primary campaign.” In general, he said, he supports the policies of Farm Bureau, except the call for a part­ lime legislature, which he opposes. Bender noted, however, that he has also been endorsed and supported by eight or nine other organizations "But that doesn't mean that I'm in their pocket also," he says. “I think, too. the magnitude of the (Farm Bureau) con­ tribution. a total ol $1,400. is not a significant amount of money ." Hesaid he plans to spend a total of $12,000 to $13,000 on both his primary and general election campaigns. Bender added he is in basic philosphic agreement with the Farm Bureau, but has some disagreement with the organization’s orientation to a total free market policy. He said that he sees a need to give some degree of control towards guaranteeing a food supply at a reasonable price to the consumer. Farm prices fluctuate wildly if they are totally uncontrolled, he said. “The farmer is a little more guaranteed," he said. “His income is a little steadier. Other issues covered by Bender in his interview with the Banner were: Unemployment Compensation The candidate said that reforming the unemployment compensation program will be a tough issue for both business and labor to swallow. He said sacrifices must be made on both sides, including the possibility of requiring some input from labor to the unemployment fund or adjusting benefits. “Business doesn't like the fact that it could cost them more," he said. “Employers who have a stable work force shouldn't have to pay an inordinante amount. Those who are using it should have to pay for it. Nobody likes to hear that, but they have to bite the bullet on both sides." Single Business Tax Bender said that the tax should be based upon the company's ability to pay, which is not the way the single business tax is presently calculated. "That's the biggest flaw." he said. "The property tax ts another example of not being based on ability to pay. In the single business tax. we should remove the cost of doing business .is a factor in the tax.” Worker's Compensation Although some steps have been taken toward reform in this area, Bender said more has to be done The rales are still higher than in surrounding states, he said. “All of these reforms are directed toward making Michigan more competitive with surrounding states in terms of businesses wanting to operate here." he said. Regional Government Though he has been charged with such. Bender said that he never has supported regional government, but does support regional planning. ”1 supported the Southcentral Michigan Planning Council." he said, "but I do not support regional government and never have. The last thing we need is another level of government. I don't see the SMPC as another level government. I see it as a planning function." Governments need to cooperate with one another, he said, to overcome problems that are beyond local borders. He compared government cooperation with two farmers who, instead of building two fences at a boundary line, share the cost and effort of building one. Roau budgets The two term commissioner said that records show during his term or the Barry County board, the road commis: ion was allocated over $20,000 more per year than in other years. The year he chaired the board, he said, roads received $100,000. compared to a ten year average of $73,000. County government growth Bender said that county government has grown in the past decade in response to a need for services and to fulfill mandates for state and federal programs. "Barry County government...certainly has not grown more than other counties." he said, “and maybe less.” Bender analyzed the Reagan ad­ ministration's proposed New Federalism which would turn a number of programs back to slate and local management. “Where the federal government gives back to the states more authority to to carry out programs," he continued, “obviously local governments will have to expand to fulfill that role....If local government grows at the expense of state or federal government, then that's a step in the right direction." Bender said that some people perceive him as a big spender because his name is tied to some federal and slate programs which were brought into the county. He worked hard to bring state and federal programs into the county when he was a commissioner, he said, even though he may not have agreed with those programs when they were initially approved in Lansing and Washington. “Once a program is set up." he said, "and the money is allocated, I felt a responsibility to get tax dollars spent here. They were our tax dollars. If we didn't get a ..grant for Barry County, it would be spent in Detroit or elsewhere."

Treasurer Edwards calls for property tax,revenue sharing changes by Robert J. Johnston Hinging his campaign on his experience as a lobbyist for the Michigan Townships Association and as a township supervisor. Bob Edwards is calling for improvements in die property lax system and increased revenue sharing for outstate Michigan. Edwards also said in an interview with the Banner that reform must come in the single business tax and other areas of the state's economic climate. Edwards presented a two-fold approach to cutting property taxes for home and lan­ downers. The first proposal would seek legislative action to reduce the assessment level from 50 percent to 40 percent or lower. "You would immediately see relief in tax statements," he said. "If there is a loss to local governments, they could if they desire go to the people for a local millage vote as they do now for fire, police, waler and sewer. Local government is very familiar with this process." Edwards said, however, that he didn't expect local governments to have to take that step because the property tax reform would be lied to higher school aid and a new revenue sharing formula. He would like to see equal per capita distribution of revenue sharing money, which presently gives Detroit $68 for every $8 to $12 distributed here. Equal revenue sharing distribution, he said, was almost accomplished while he was with the townships association, but he lost the legislative vote by one vote. "That was a very successful ac- "People don't have any control over one of the biggest amounts of money that they pay," hesaid. “In my approach I would pull the tax out of the inflationary market. Now, people see increases each year for no reason." Other issues Edwards examined in his interview were: tinued. "We have a lot of state land and I think we have to have an individual putting that across." He said a person needs to be designated to work with business and professional men in the county to see if they want growth in the county. He also said that a committee could he set up to study the problems and give him insight into what needs to be done. Concerning business and industry in Agriculture Edwards agreed with his opponent that agriculture is important in the 88th District, but he said voters ought to consider who can provide the most help for the agricultural community. "With my legislative experience and input, I worked on the Right to Farm Act, the Open Space Preservation Act and the Family Farm Development Act,” he said. “I've shown genunine concerns about the agricultural community and I've proven that I've produced for that community.” Bob Edwards complishmenl because we never got that close before," he said. "I firmly believe we could accomplish that in my term, if it was explained again to the legislators what it would mean for their own districts." The alternative for properly tax reform that he proposed was to set a flat rate □welling tax based on the value of the house. This rale, he said, would be set by the legislature. Farmlana, he added, should be assessed on its production value, not its sales value.

Instead of rock n roll, plans call for the new establishment to have activities like gospel concerts, Bible study meetings, skits, readings, films and other organized ac­ tivities, says Al Conklin, corporation president. For Sunday s open house, a potluck dinner is planned at 1:30 p.m. At about 2:30 gospel music will take center stage featuring Altar, a group from Kalamazoo; Elijah of Hastings. Herb Roberts of Nashville and David Hoose, a Hastings High School graduate who now lives in Reed City. Poet Duane Hagin also will appear. When the building that now houses The Note of Praise was vacent in recent years it was the target of continual vandalism. Now Conklin lives on site in a mobile home and since purchasing the building and property with his own funds, he has spent many hours during the past year and a half working on a facelift for the structure and making plans for his dream. He says he decided to buy the building because “I felt there was a need for a place that could be neutral ground for all denominations of churches...a place to worship together where there could be ministering, music, teaching, and fellowship." With a large amount of tourism in the " neigboring Gun Lake area. Conklin feels The Note of Praise has potential in offering ac­ tivities to tourists too. About a dozen individuals have pitched in to help in the restoration of the building. Others serving on the corporation board are Conklin’s wife, Janice, along with Marcella Birta. Don Reid. Steve Reid and Herb Roberts. Fixing a leaky roof, replacing broken glass, painting, and doing $4,500 in electrical work have been the main priorities in refurbishing the 5,700 square fool building. The building is located on 20 acres of land and has 600 feet of frontage on Chief Noon Day Rd. There are a number of uniuue “ lhe Nole of Praise in addition lo the ,.tm square foot courtyard. There is a sunken circular fireplace with comfortable seating a large auditorium area, and a snack bar that can be closed off from the meeting area. Already weekly Bible studv and prayer meetings are being held there The purpose of Sunday's open house Conklin said, "is so people can see what’s going on so they can know what to expect." By next summer, he and the board hope to "«eracUviti« on several days and evenings each week. Eventually, the goal is to have l”et" dur,"B lhc shtnmer monies, some year-round use is Beirut considered for the future.

Cast aside were the molds of heavy, pressed glass of former years. Display rooms of the glass plants literally burst into a profusion of color as the pink, green, blue, amber, red and yellow pieces were produced. Among the companies manufacturing the machine-made inexpensive colored glass were Hocking Glass Co., Ohio; Jeanette Glass Co., Pa.; Federal Glass Co., Ohio; Indiana Glass Co.. Ind . McBeth Evans. Pa., and Hazel Allas Co., W. Va. Hocking was the first lo issue a complete set of dinnerware in colored glass. The pattern. Cameo, continues to be a favorite with collectors today Throughout the 30s. the economy declined rapidly, reaching an all-time low. These were the times of record unemployment, "soup kitchens", "bread lines and dispair. Able-bodied men left their homes and families lo seek work in faraway places. These were the never-to-be-forgotten years of the Great Depression. Many glass companies were forced to cease operation during these trying years. Some of the more enterprising managed lo survive by marketing their products through every available outlet. The colored glass found its way into containers of cereal, tea. flour and other commodities. Theater and service stations used the pieces as premiums to boost lagging sales. Since thousands were without jobs, there weren’t many theater goers, nor joy-riding, lo use gasoline. People weren't spending money on luxuries and interest in the pretty glass waned. For more than 30 years thereafter, the glass was considered worthless and was relegated lo basement or attic. The latter part of the 1960s saw a revival of The Past Noble Grand Club meets at the interest in the glass of the Depression era. home of Edith Stemm. Thursday afternoon.

Center (Temporary Location) ... at Buehler Chiropractic Clinic Citizen and staff input is being sought by the Hastings Board of Education in its search for a new superintendent of schools. "We feel it’s important that we know what the community is feeling." says Judy Lenz, chairman for the board s search committee. Other committee members are Dick Shaw and Larry Haywood. The board at its Oct. 18 meeting authorized hiring Dr. Carl Brauligam. an E. Lansing educator, to aid in the search. The service will cost the school district $2,500. Brauligam. a consultant to the Michigan Association of School Boards, has helped school boards in 26 superintendent searches, according to Lenz. She says the board is impressed with Brautigam s work, and his method of dealing with communities. In justifying the expense. Lenz said the board “does noi have the lime nor the ex­ pertise to do as good a job as Dr. Brauligam" in selecting a new superintendent On Nov. 1. Brautigam will outline his search plans lo the board in a special meeting open lo the public. However, ac­ cording lo Lenz, "the public will not have input at that meeting." That opportunity will come Nov. 15 and 16 when Brauligam will meet with various citizen’s groups. Following is the "Citizen and Staff Input Schedule": inferior material and color. Collectors will be able to discern the difference upon close examination. If you are unable to do so. a reputable dealer in Depression glass should lie consulted. Prices are projected to rise in 1983. This will be especially true of the rare and liardto-find pieces. The old story of supply and demand was never more evident. Simoly stated, there are not enough Cgmeo milk pitchers. Miss America butters. Sharon cheese dishes. Cherry Blossom salt and peppers. Floral vases, Mayfair 74 inch goblets, and other popular pieces to go around. The following is a 10 year price comparison on some pieces listed from 1972 to 1982: Cherry Blossom, pink; 94-inch plate was $2 - now $11, divided platter was $5.25 - now $25; covered butler was $20 ■ now $62.50. Miss America, pink; salt and pepper was $8 ■ now $35; pitcher was $30 - now $80; 114inch candy dish was $30 - now $85. Mayfair, pink: 10-inch bowl was $2.75 - now $10; 74-inch gobiet was $35 - now $95; creamer was $4 - now $14.50. As with any collectible, the rarity and scarcity of a particular item makes it realize a higher price potential. November 15 — Parents of elementary students, 1:30 3:00 pm.

All glass must be washed, and caps, lids, metal rings, or neck bands, etc. must be removed. Labels do not have to be removed. Glass containing foreign materials cannot be recycled, nor can window glass or light bulbs. Depositing contaminated materials into the bin will ruin the entire batch.

Some cans have bottoms which cannot be removed (e.g. tuna fish cans) but are still recyclable Aluminum is easily crumpled and the compacted metals save space in the barrels. ft he survivors of the battles that were fought to maintain our freedom were fortunate enough tp return to us, although many of them suffered permanent injuries in the process. Moreover, even those who came home with their bodies intact have had to resume their interrupted lives scarred with the memories of their nightmare experience and the resentment of those who disapproved of the wars in which they served. However, it is unlikely that anyone ever wanted to go to war, and those who did so acted out of what they considered a duty to their country. Regardless of our feelings, we should be grateful to them and show them every consideration in return for the sacrifices which they made for us with the best of intentions. Let us further honor them by attending our House of Worship, the choice of which they helped to preserve for all the rest of us. CLAYTON. GA. - Peter C.

Briefly, the proposals and the issues in­ volved are: I Democracy in economics, aristocracy in thought. George W. Russell VOTE TUESDAY, November 2 (fitu^Bank Offices in Hastings and Middleville Proposal A Legislative Immunity This proposal would pave the way to limit the immunity from prosecution for state legislators. Voters turned down the proposal in 1980, but political analysts suspected that was because it was not understood. Proposal A would amend lheConslitition to allow the legislature to pass laws that would change the present legislative immunity. Legislative immunity was originally provided to protect legislators from possible repercussions due to their actions as legislators such as speeches that could be labeled as libelous. At the time this im­ munity was granted, the legislature was in session only a few months during a two-year term. Now, however, the legislature is in session for the entire year, giving senators and representatives almost lotal immunity from prosecution for civil infractions. When state laws were revised in 1978, they changed minor traffic violations from criminal to civil actions, giving legislators immunity from most traffic offenses. (Legislators have never been immune from criminal offenses). Proposal A was placed on the ballot by the legislature. Supporters feel that passage will correct a situation that has been abused by some legislators. Opponents argue that ef­ forts to change legislative immunity would be influenced by partisan or political motivations. Proposal B State Police Minimum Staffing He who would save liberty must put his trust in democracy. ’ Norman Thomas So...VOTE on Tuesday, Nov. 2 The employees of J-Ad Graphics INC. Publishers of The Hastings Banner The Reminder Maple Valley News and other central Michigan publications The Michigan State Police Troopers Association led a petition drive to put Proposal B on the ballot. If it passes, the stale Constitution would be ammended to establish specific minimum staffing levels for the State Police. The Department of State Police would be constitutionally mandated and the power and duties of that department and its officers would be clearly specified. Under the plan, the staffing level could not fall below 2,257 sworn officers, or 114 officers more than current staff. The minimum could be reduced only on a proportional basis in relation to a decline in the population. Supporters defend the proposal by saying that the people of the state deserve a con­ stitutional guarantee of having the state’s most highly trained and effective police force sufficiently funded and staffed to provide for the safety, protection and welfare of citizens. Trooper association leaders also charge that the number of state troopers is ured as a political football by the administration in power to gain support or opposition to specific issues, such as the tax cut proposals. On the other side of the proposal is a long list of people and organizations, headed by the Michigan Department of State Police, the Fraternal Order of Police, the Deputy Sheriff’s Association, the Michigan Association of Chiefs of Police, Gov. William Milliken and candidates for governor Rep. James L. Blanchard and Richard H. Headlee. The opponents say Proposal B will cost the state several million dollars initially to hire more than 100 neu troopers. or else 200 civilian employees in the department will have to be laid off. They also say that the proposal would guarantee 2.257 jobs to public employees, whether the state can afford it or not. The opponents say that passage would pave the way for the state police to take over road patrols currently handled by county departments, eliminating local control of law enforcement. Proposal C Due-on-Sale Mortgage Clauses The due-on-sale clause is a part of stan­ dard home mortgage contracts that allows a lender to demand payment of the entire outstanding mortgage if the property is sold or transferred. Proposal C would amend state law to prohibit a lender from using the clause to foreclose mortgage or land con­ tracts when the property is sold. The only exception would be when the buyer is proven to be a poor credit risk. The proposal would also grant the seller 48 months, instead of the present 6-12 months, to repay the mortgage if a court finding supports foreclosure. The practical effect of a due-on-sale clause is that a buyer obtains a mortgage that reflects the interest rates at the time of the sale. Placed on the ballot by a petition drive sponsored by the Consumer’s Committee to Protect Mortgages, the supporters say the clause is unfair to homeowners who had no choice in agreeing to it. Until recently, they say, the clause was not enforced, but now mortgage lenders are enforcing it in order to close out existing low interest mortgages. The opponents, primarily financial in­ stitutions and real estate firms, say that the proposal will dry up mortgage money because Michigan would be unattractive to outside investors. They say that some people might benefit from Proposal C in the shortrun, but the long run effects could be detrimental to home buyers. Even if it is passed, a federal court ruling will prevent its application in federally chartered savings and loan institutions. to7h™Xnn A; Limit Legislative Immunity B: Michigan State Police C: Due on Sale D: Public Utilities Initative panies have used to pass on the rising costs of purchasing fuels and power. This is the proposal that state utilities and other groups are spending millions of dollars to convince voters that "D is Dumb". The proposal was placed on the ballot by the Michigan Citizens Lobby and is backed by Attorney General Frank Kelley Not only would the proposal eliminate the automatic increases, but it would also limit utility companies to having only one rate increase request before the Michigan Public Service Commission (PSC) at one time. The opponents say this will force the utilities to borrow money to meet their rising costs while they wait for a PSC hearing and decision. The worst scenarios say utilities will go bankrupt because they cannot recover their costs quickly. At least, op­ ponents say, the costs of high interest rates on the borrowed money will be passeu on to consumers. The supporters, however, say it will give the PSC new power to hold down utility rates and demand efficiency from the gas and electric companies. In either case, the proposal has been usurped by a new state law which would eliminate the automatic rate adjustments anyway. Replacing them will be projected 12 month and five year cost estimates from utility companies, which if approved by the PSC, will appear on utility bills. The law also sets up an annual fund of $600,000 paid by the utilities so that the state attorney general and consumer groups can better compete with the utilities in the long, complicated rate hearings before the PSC. Proposal E Nuclear Freeze Voter approval of this question in November would require the Michigan legislature to petition the federal govern­ ment for a freeze in the development and deployment of nuclear weapons. This Proposal D petition would propose a mutual, verifiable Utility Rate Regulation an J immediate weapons freeze between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. This is a citizen backed proposal that A coalition of religious, puolic interest and would abolish the present system of social action organizations under the um­ automatic rate increases that utility com­ brella of a group calling itself the Michigan "Nuclear Weapons Freeze gathered signatures to place the proposal on the ballot. The measure is part of a nation-wide effort to generate citizen support for a mutual nuclear weapons freeze. Six other states will also have proposals on their ballots. Political analysts say this measure is the most likely to pass, with polls indicating support by two-thirds of the population. There has been little organized opposition, but conservatives, including President Reagan, have come out against the proposal. Opponents say that l freeze could create a situation in which the Soviet Union could indefinitely maintain nuclear superiority over the United States and could limit the president’s negotiating hand. Supporters contend that a freeze proposal could help reverse the arms buildup. All of the local candidates for the state house of representatives, slate senate and congress are in support of the proposal. Proposal G Elected Public Service Commission This proposal would increase the size of the Public Service Commission from three to five members and have all members elected on a non-partisan ballot for four years. A citizens group, the Michigan Coalition on Utilities and Energy, placed the question on the ballot. If passed, the PSC members would be nominated at state party conventions, as are The only way we convinced him was to add it up. Judge for yourself. The Club is a better checking .iccount.

Supporters say that Proposal H provides a workable alternative to Propose! D because Gf the utility companies’ ability to have more than one rate case beforo the PSC at one time. Opponents say this provision will result in a profusion of little rate cases that would be extremely difficult or consumer groups to follow. A number of legislators are now opposing Proposal H because of the law they have passed which eliminates the automatic adjustment clause anyway (see explanation of Proposal D for provisions of that new law.)

Hastings Manufacturing says it wants to buy back shares "Hastings Manufacturing Co. said it will make an offer to buy back about half of its stock to increase the proportionate holdings of management and thereby discourage unfriendly outsiders from trying to take over the business," the Detroit News said Thursday. The Hastings based company makes automotive parts. The Detroit News reported that the company’s board of directors “called a special meeting of stockholders for Nov. 29 to vote on the stock repurchase plan. It would authorized the company to make a lender offer for up to 370,000 of the 748,406 out­ standing shares at $16 a share." If the plan is approved, the offer will begin on Dec. 2 and remain open until midnight Jan. 14, unless extended, the Detroit News said. The article said that “prior to the com­ pany’s announcement yesterday, the price of Hastings stock jumped $1.75 a share on the American Stock Exchange, to a 12-month high of $14.50. Trading was halted at 12:30 pm. and did not resume before the market closed at 4 p.m.” The Detroit News reported that the company said "the proposed reduction in the number of outstanding shares would in­ crease the percentage of stock owned by Stephen I. Johnson, president of Hastings Manufacturing, and close members of his family. If all 370,000 shares are purchased, the Johi son family’s holdings would become 42.39 percent of the total outstanding compared with 23.43 percent at present ” Halloween set for Saturday Hastings children are being asked to do their "trick or treating” on Saturday.

BURDICK Republican Incumbent for Barry County Drain Commissioner SEEKS YOUR VOTE on November 2 for AA JhL iT.' Continuity and Competent Follow-Through * II BH I have been serving as Barry County Drain Commissioner since being appointed to the position on January 1, 1982 by a committee consisting of Richard N. Loughrin, Probate Judge; Judy Hughes. Prosecuting Attorney and Norval Thaler, County Clerk. The position of Drain Commissioner is a full-time job/commitment for me — not a side-line or a "retirement" job. Prior to becoming Drain Commissioner I served as Deputy Drain Commis­ sioner under J. Ray Bratton for two years. I have also worked in both Circuit and Probate Courts, beginning my County employment in 1969. Knowledge of various County offices, their functions and procedures allows me to be of service to the citizens of Barry County in a wider capacity, making full use of all County facilities and information. Along with serving as County Drain Commissioner, I am also the Director/ Secretary of the Deportment of Public Works. This office involves two major sewer projects at this time — Gun Lake and Gull Lake. These projects require the handling and distribution of several million dollars in grant fund­ ing and bond issues. My background in office management, legal training and accounting procedures is imperative in order to make the best possible use of these monies. It is important to keep lines of communication open — knowing who to contact and when comes with exposure, time and exper­ ience. W th the many lakes in Barry County, it is likely more projects of this kind will develop in our community. I am 45 years old, reside in the city of Hastings where I con be near the office, I am married and have two adult sons. I hope to serve the citizens as Barry County Drain Commissioner for many years to come. Administration and good public relations are essential requirements for the position of Drain Commissioner. Knowledge of procedures and the ability to work within the guidelines of the Michigan State DRain Code are necessary in order to serve the public honestly and effectively. As a member of the Michigan State Drain Commissioners Legislative Committee for 1981-82, I continue to follow closely the progress of revisions to the State Drain Code in order to serve the Barry County area in the most effective and economic mannger. I believe in local government handling local needs. Much of my contact with the citizens of Barry County involves area formers and rural land owners. My parents and my brothers have been in the farm industry for several years in Barry and neighboring counties and I feel I can relate to the needs of the farm community. My roots are in the Hastings-Barry County area, having lived and owned property in Barry County for twenty-four years. I believe my experience, coupled with my several years of employment with County government, and my desire to serve our community at large makes me a likely candidate to remain in office as Barry County Drain Commissioner. Thank you for your confidence and support. Po.dtor by Committee to Elect Audrey R. Burdick, 226 W. Nelson, Hostings, Ml 49058 �The Hastings Banner. Thursday.

He currently lives al 12240 Assyria Rd. Hamel offers a list of the greatest problems facing county government: maintaining basic services at present quality, urging citizens to become involved in local government, and accepting and using new innovative ways to fund services. He adds that the goals for local govern­ ment should be “thriftiness, professionalism. efficiency and availability." DISTRICT 6 Walter Soya. Republican. Soya. 65. an in­ cumbent commissioner, has experience as a township clerk and supervisor and as a school board member He has been a resident and dairy farmer in Baltimore Township for 50 years. Soya lives at 8200 S. Broadway. Hastings.

Paul Kiel. Democrat. Kiel, 66. has been a commissioner from Orangeville and Yankee Springs Townships for the past four years. He presently serves on several committees, including chairman for the commission on aging, vice chairman of the Board of Com­ missioners, and chairman of the Dept, of Public Works. Kiel lives at 4327 Harmony Dr., Shelbyville. Kiel says that revenue sharing cuts will cut many county services, including services to the elderly, sick and disabled, and will cause the abandoned of some social services “which could result in the neglect of some of aur children." “The taxpayer will not pay for the loss of these funds. They are fed up with high property taxes." says Kiel. Of the many things we have done State House candidates (from left) Republican Bob Bender.

Republican candidate.and he called constituent work the most im­ portant part of a senator's job. He said the key to effective legislation is "being able to work with the opposite side of the aisle no matter what party is in power." “1 think that after eight years of Democratic control of the legislature, I think I’ve done fairly well fu* my constituency in working with the opposite party." said Welborn. “Have you ever noticed how politicians always prelace everything with ‘I think'?’’ county needs," says Hermenitt, and he adds that all programs "should be curtailed to match our expenditures and receipts.” Rae M. Hoare, Democrat. Hoare is a former commissioner, and member of the Barry County Social Services Board. She lives at 10944 Houvener Rd., Delton. “Maintaining an equitable balance bet­ ween human needs and fiscal responsibilty will be the major challenge during this period of declining revenues," says Hoare. She says an eye must be kept on a cost ef­ fective allocation of funds, and the return of state and federal tax dollars to augment existing funds. Olis Hermenitt. Republican. Hermenitt, 64, is a first-term commissioner. He is a former township treasurer, and member of the Prairieville school board. He lives at 9341 Pine Lake Rd.. Delton.

"Politics Makes Strange Bedfellows" In this election year two Michigan civic leaders are surprised to find themselves involved in an unusual coalition to protect the interests of their constituencies. James Barrett president of the Michigan State Chamber of Commerce, and Stanford D. Arnold secretary-treasurer of the Michigan State Building and Construction Trades Council are working together with Citizens for Michigan Jobs and Energy to fight Proposal D. D is a con­ troversial initiative, put on the ballot by the Michigan Citizens Lobby, which would eliminate the “automatic" fuel adjustment clause on utility bills but because of hearing delays, could force utility companies to Ivorrow money in order to continue Stanford D. .Arnold operating. Arnold’s primary concern is jobs. Utility companies are the state's largest single employer of construction workers. "If .the MCL initiative is passed the financing of construc­ tion will lx* seriously jeopar­ dized” says Arnold “And if utility construction projects are s,«>pped, thousands of construc­ tion workers will be out of a job.” Arnold points ouL however, that it is not only construction jobs that would be lost if Proposal I) passes. “Consider as well the availa­ bility of emergency fuel reserves.

October 28 1982 — Page 10 l/K/Ves of GOP candidates for governor and It. governor campaign here Mary Headlee and Polly Brennan came to Hastings to stump for their husbands at the Friday Barry 'County Republican Women’s luncheon. Mrs. Dick Headlee. wife of the GOP’s candidate for governor, echoed her husband s thoughts that government in this stale ’nas become too large. •State government has grown so large that 52 percent depend upon the government for their substanance (including government employees and those on welfare) There are only 48 percent of us that are paying the bills. Somewhere along the line this has to stop," she said. "We cannot afford all the things we have to pay for right now," Mrs. Headlee said of government sendees. This does not mean turning your back on the needy, han­ dicapped. and others who need help. She said she and her husband decided to become involved in polities because they have a large family and realized that their children "don’t have the freedoms that we did." One of the most important things they haven't been able to give their children is "security of the future" and the Headlees are hoping that can be turned around with the right leadership. Mrs. Headlee pointed out that most young people can't afford to buy a home in this day and age. She also noted that “the car we drove up in cost more than the first home Dick and I bought.” “Free enterprise is the solution. We have to undo the grips government has put on business," she said. "We’ve got to get government smaller so free enterprise can survive." she said. Mrs. Headlee said her husband is an idealist who believes that with good hard work Michigan can be turned around for the better. Polly Brennan, wife of Tom Brenner, the GOP candidate for lieutenent governor, called Headlee "a man who lias a tremen­ dous leadership ability. She said the Headlee-Brennan team wants to change the business atmosphere by get­ ting businesses to stay and entice others to come. "We need everyone in this room to be a cheerleader" for Headlee and Brenner before the election, Mrs. Brennan said. She noted how both Headlee and her husband have been successful in their careers — Headlee taking a faltering business and making it number one; and Brennan climbing up the judicial court ladder to become the youngest chief justice in the state and then founding the Cooley Law School in Lansing. Ronna Romney, daughter-in-law of former Governor George Romney, also appeared at the luncheon in support of Headlee. Other state and local candidate's spoke briefly and a discussion was held on the proposals that will appear on the November 2 ballot. Ronna Romney, daughter-in-law of former Governor George Romney, talks with Dawn Howe at the Hastings lunch­ eon.

Thursday. October 28. 1982 — Page 12 Officials warn that wood heating fires could increase this winter The growing reliance on wood for home heating has created a deadly and costlyproblem for Michigan, according to in­ surance industry sources. Fires stemming from wood stoves, fireplaces and chimneys claimed nine lives and injured 650 others last year. Nearly 5,000 homes and other structures were destroyed or damaged, costing an estimated $11.5 million. A spokesman for Michigan Asosciation of Insurance Companies (MAIO, says the problem could worsen due to the rising cost of other fuels. "More people may try to reduce or control home heating costs through use of wood burning appliances this winter,*’ according to Terry Buckles, MAIC president. "And unless there is significant im­ provement in safety practices, increased deaths, injuries and property loss could result." The incidence of wood-heat related fires in Michigan has risen sharply during recent years. Resulting property losses have increased accordingly. The annual estimated cost of such blazes advanced steadily from $2.5 million in 1977 to $11.5 million last year. “Thankfully, there was a considerable reduction in the number of injuries and deaths last year," Buckles said. He noted that during 1980, 21 persons were killed and almost 900 were injured. The Fire Marshal Division of Michigan State Police has maintained records on wood-heating fires since 1977. These indicate that 55 deaths resulted from such blazes during the past five years. Buckles said the nature of wood-heat ac­ cidents has changed drastically. A few years ago, when homeowners were just rediscovering wood as an energy source, improper installation was a leading cause of these fires. In 1982, however, only 10-15 percent of wood stove or fireplace blazes originated in this manner. cent of these were due to improper main­ tenance. Dark in color and with an unpleasant odor, creosote is a byproduct of woodburning that coats the interior of pipes and chimneys. If heavy deposits become very hot, they burst into (lame. Use of unseasoned wood produces more creosote. Improper operation now accounts for most wood-heating accidents. “Last year, 63 percent of Michigan's wood stove fires oc­ curred because the appliance was used in an unsafe manner," Buckles said. Almost 80 percent of fireplace blazes resulted for the same reasons. Creosote build up caused many of the state's 2,600 chimney fires last year. The Fire Marshal Division reports that 73 per­ Emphasizing the dangers inherent in inadequate safety measures, Buckles cited the following case histories compiled by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission: A 65-year-old woman had opened the door of her wood buring stove to add wood to the tire when flames ignited her nightgown. She died from the burns she received. Thinking that the fire in his homemade wood burning stove had goneout, an 18-year- SERVICE DIRECTORY TRAVEL RADIATORS ___FREESERVICES ^45 RADIATOR SHOP !“ Heater Cores in Stock... -— 533 West State Street Hastings.

(2) make certain equipment is installed according to authorized standards, (3) learn and follow proper rules for operation-maintenance and (4) regularlj inspect chimneys and stovepipes for deficiencies and creosote build-up. Specific information on installation, operation and maintenance of wood-heat appliances is available from many sources, Buckles concluded. These include insurance companies, equipment manufacturers and distributors, and various stale and federal agencies.

Christmas bazaar will offer brass rubbing Hastings Area residents who would like to try a hand at brass rubbing are invited to do so on Friday, November 5, at the Grace Lutheran Church's bazaar sponsored by its Sarah Circle. At least for the morning hours of the Christmas bazaar, a chance to do brass rubbings will be available in the foyer of the church. Prices will be very moderate compared to the usual brass rubbing centers, and a few completed rubbings will be available for sale. The real fun, of course, is to do a rubbing for one’s self, but doing a rubbing takes time so visitors hoping to try one should allow plenty of time for it. Paper, wax, and hangers will be available, along with in­ struction, and a few items suitable for rubbing. A small brass-rubbing kit of Westminster Abbey will make a fun rubbing suitable for framing. Some large and small brass rubhings will be displayed at the booth, and bookmarks with a variety of brass-rubbing prints will be for sale. For a week before the bazaar, a few brass rubbings will also be on display at the Hastings Public Library, along with a book or two on the subject. The ideal object from which to make a rubbing is a brass depiction or inscription, slightly raised above a flat background. Rubbings can be made from many other hard-surfaced materials, such as tomb­ stones, coins, wall plaques, designs on relatively flat pottery or metal ash rays, and well-designed ornate sewer covers on sidewalks or streets of large cities, especially in Europe. Visitors are invited to bring their own favorite inscriptions, ash trays, fraternal and service-organization membership pins, plaques, and the like to experiment with. Handsome rubbings could be made from a set of favorite coins, society pins, possibly even trivets if their surfaces were ap­ propriate for rubbing. The writer has expei-.mented with rub­ bings from a large Greek metal paper “clip", a decorated candle, a brass doorknocker, a small stein. Many of these items are very difficult to rub because their surfaces are too deeply carved or raised. Brass rubbing has long been popular in English cathedrals where monumental memorial brasses, often lifesize are found on the floors of walls marking burial places Most of this rubbing directly from the original brasses is now prohibited because of gradual destructive effect, and copies of brasses are available in a dozen or more brass-rubbing centers scattered around the British Isles. On this side of the Atlantic, there are brass-nibbing centers at Mackinac Island in summer, and in Ontario, Canada at Stratford. �The Hastings Banner. Thursday.

He was told the drain does not have a name. 3. The business people of Woodland can't get the drain commissioner to sit down and discuss enclosing the creek. 4. Why doesn't the drain commissioner meet with the residents of Duncan Lake concerning a sewer system? 5. What happened to the study, made by the students of Ferris College on a drain from Delton to Crooked Lake. (Possible raw sanitary sewage)? 6.

October 28, 1982 — Page 14 There’s no hair like mohair Area farmers cashing in on Angora goats by Ken Reibcl In any discussion of Angora goats, there is one thing you must keep in mind--angora sweaters come from Angora rabbits. Angora goats give mohair. And where do Angora goats come from? Originally, from the mountainous regions of Turkey, a republic in west Asia and southeastern Europe, from whence we get the name Angora (from Ankara, the Turkish capital». Angora goats, the story goes, came to the U.S. many years ago. when a Turkish sultan gave six of the cnimals to a Texan. The Angoras are prized for their mohair, a shiny, strong fiber used in very warm gar­ ments such as sweaters, and sometimes in upholstery (Chrysler once used mohair in automobile seats). Until recently, most of the Angora goats in the world were bred and raised in Texas andS. Africa, and the mohair was processed in Europe. As a result, a good mohair sweater costs as much as $200. But now a group of entrepreneurs in Sault Ste. Marie has its sights set on a mohair empire right here in Michigan, and in the past two years. Angora Enterprises has brought into the state 9,000 Angoras from Texas. Sue Drummond lives in a log cabin on Sisson Rd. with her husband Don and raises about 60 Angora goats, as part of her con­ tract with Angora Enterprises. She says hers is one of four such farms in Barry County. Drummond says that she and other Angora pioneers are banking on a return to natural fibers. "The U.S. market is not tapped for mohair products," she says. Since large scale Angora raising has never been attempted in Michigan, Drummond and others must learn from one another, sharing ideas and experiences to make the business venture a success. She says there are 13 families raising the animals in southwest Michigan, and they all regularly meet to learn from one another. “We raise them a little differently here," says Drummond, "In Michigan, we feed the goats grain and hay. In Texas, they’re range fed.” Angoras, says Drummond, are hardy animals. "It takes four days to truck them into Michigan from Texas, but they’re rarely susceptible to shipping fever. You can truck a cow or a sheep a couple miles, and those animals could get sick, but not an Angora," says Drummond. goal, uhen mature, can yield up to 15 pounds of mohair. Drummond says that Angoras thrive on land that most farmers won’t bother to cultivate, and eat most of the scrub plants that other animals won't touch. She says her goats have eaten cattail and rhubarb leaves. 'Barry County is perfect for Angoras." says Drummond. "There’s so much good goal country around here it's amazing." She says the goats take very little care, and about the only maladay they can fail to is coccidiosis. an intestinal disorder which also affects chickens. Besides regular treatment for coccidiosis. the goats also need regular treatment for worms and parasites, and to have their hooves trimmed, says Drum* mond.

October 28. 1982 — Page 15 BOB EDWARDS on THE ISSUES Let’s talk... ★ UNEMPLOYMENT-JOBS Government should do a better job in recruiting new business and industry to Michigan. The single most important issue to the people that I have talked to is to provide JOBS. If we can diversify our economy so hat we don t depend so heavily on the auto industry, we can help to provide the type of climate in this state where jobs can be developed. I will do everything possible in Lansing to create a climate that will provide JOBS. ★ CRIME I think that we have come to realize that the trend over the past few years to go lightly on the criminal element of society has just not payed off. We seem to have gotten away from our traditional values of law enforcement, that being to protect the lawful people from the unlawful. We must get back to the idea that criminals must pay for the crimes that they commit. Also. I believe that we should provide local law enforcement agencies with the adequate resources to fight crime. ★ TAXATION REFORM The Single Business Tax penalizes a business because it is levied against the gross revenues and not against the net profit. A business can lose money and still have a large tax liability. One of my top priorities in Lansing would be to change the Single Business Tax so that small and labor intensive businesses would only have to pay for their fair share of the tax on business in this state. Another order of business on my personal tax reform agenda would be to correct the inequities in the property lax system making it fair to ail tax payers and reduce the total reliance on property taxes as a means of financing public education. ★ WELFARE REFORM The best welfare reform is to get people working. One of the first steps would be to set up a public works and construction program to help put our people back to work. Wherever possible welfare recipients should work for their benefits. ★ REVENUE SHARING-PER CAPITA The per capita payments to the cities of Hastings and Ionia of $8.00 to $12.00 per person is far less than the $68.00 that goes to Detroit. Outstate Michigan has subsidized Detroit far to long. We must change this inequity. I propose to increase the revenue sharing payments to outstate Michigan. * EDUCATION I will take whatever steps are necessary to save our educational institu­ tions which should be the foundation for educating and training our people for jobs for the future. The state has to live up to its Constitutional Commitment to education. It must make education a priority in its bugdetory process. It must fund, adequately, but let the decisions be mode on the local level for expenditure of the funds. No more state mandated programs without proper funding. * GOVERNMENT SPENDING Two specific things that I think should be done is to use the new zero base budgeting approach where every state agency would be required to show sound performance in their program area before they can be funded. Secondly to enforce "sunset" laws which would require every new program of state government to have an expiration date. Upon reaching that expiration date the programs existence would have to be justified. ★ Resident Rutland Township ★ Rancher, raises quarter horses ★ Former Legislative Director Michigan Townships Association Former Township Supervisor A.A.

October 28. 1982 — Page 16 Milliman seeks to unseat Congressman Wolpe by Elaine Gilbert In a bid to unseat U.S. Rep. Howard Wolpe. Richard L. Milliman. 55, Republican can­ didate for the Third Congressional District, is plugging a program to create jobs in Michigan, supporting elements of the President’s economic recovery plan, and attacking the voting record of his opponent. Milliman s five-point job creating program includes plans that he says would "help right now." His plan for jobs includes proposing a "favored state" status for an economically depressed state, like Michigan, and fun- SUCCESSFUL businesspersons achieve their professional goals by delegating tasks to others and concentrating their own efforts on matters which require special skills or talents. A good secretary or assistant is invaluable in completing a team which gets things done prompt!} and efficiently. Many of the most successful business teams learned long ago that the fastest and most economical way to handle travel arrangements is by making one call to a local travel agent That one phone call will result in confirmations of airline scats, hotel rooms and car rentals, ail at no additional cost. A travel agent accepts credit cards or will discuss alternate billing arrangements. Agents are knowledgeable about countless air fares and services available to business persons and will book you at the most advantageous I ite. Sometimes there's even a special fare so attractive it’s worth combining business with pleasure, but if time is limited, we’ll get you there and back the fastest way. We deal with ALL airlines, hotels and car rental companies and have schedules and rates at our finger tips; most agents also deliver tickets to commercial accounts. Delegating responsibility for travel arrangements to the person with the greatest talent for the job, a local travel agent, makes good business sense If you team hasn't already discovered how much time and effort we can save, try us for your next trip. We're sure your name and company will be added to the growing roster of business people who have learned it’s faster and less expensive to see your travel agent. The third point of his plan involves the creation of Urban Enterprise Zones, as proposed by the Reagan Administration, and extension of the idea to Community En­ terprise Zones and even to Rural Enterpise Zones. Milliman also calls for immediate and full implementation of the Republican jobs and training program recently adopted in Congress, which emphasizes local programs aimed at youth employment. The most important point of his job plan, he said, is getting the federal budget under control by cutting federal spending and reducing the annual federal deficit. On the subject of Reaganomics. Milliman, a publisher, is quick to say. "I don't support Reagonomics" because "it is a value-laden term that has been created by primarily those who do not agree with w{yat Reagan is trying to do. Richard Milliman nelling existing federal spending into the problem stale. Endorsing Senator Harry DeMaso's idea of diverting repayment of Michigan's $2.2 billion unemployment compensation debt to the federal treasury to a job creation program through tax incentives is part of Milliman's job plan. Under this proposal, any business which agreed to invest in job creating activities in Michigan would receive a full credit against its obligation to repay the unemployment comp fund debt, Milliman said. The credits would cover new machinery, new equipment, new facilities, expansions, improvements, and perhaps training programs, he added. SAVE $1.00 0N2 EIGHT-PACKS. “I do support most of the elements of the economic recovery program that Mr. Reagan has tried Io pul into place." Milham said. Those elements include more reduced federal spending, lowering taxes, lowering the national debt, lowering the federal deficit, lowering taxes Io gel money to the private sector to create more jobs, and balanced budget..." Of the Democrat claim that Reaganomics means lax cuts fur the rich at the expense of the poor. Milliman said. “I don’t support that and Mr. Reagan doesn’t support that." He reiterated that "the most important thing to stabilize the whole economy is to balance that budget and get federal spending down. That will help everyone if we can get jobs going." Some of Milliman's campaign has been focused al what he calls Woipe's anti­ business record. Milliman cites the 0 rating Wolpe received from the National Federation of Independent Businessmen and says, “the highest I could find was 33 percent from the Michigan Farm Bureau. Milliman charged that Wolpe has "a consistently anti-busmess voting record as far as business perceives its interests.” These have been budgel-oriented votes that Milliman says "has more effect on business than any other thing Congress can do. If you screw up the budget, you screw up business.” Milliman expects to spend between $200,000-250,000 on his campaign and says "we need Io turn around the attitudes that Wolpe exemplifies. The taxing and spending record he's established is an atrocious record." Wolpe calls for policy changes in re-election bid by Elaine Gilbert As incumbent Democrat U.S, Rep. Howard Wolpe, 42, seeks his third term serving the Third District, he is promoting ways Io in­ crease employment and calling for a change in the Administration's economic policies. At the same lime, he is criticizing increased defense spending and standing by his record of assistance to business. Mention Republican challenger Richard Milliman's five point job program to Wolpe. and he responds, "really, frankly. Dick's plan contains points that I and other mem­ bers of Congress (previously! have ad­ vocated." In discussing solutions that Wolpe believes would increase employment, he said, “getting federal deficits down is important.” "We've got to reverse lederal spending and taxing to get federal deficits under control" which will be a key factor in keeping interest rales down to get the economy moving again, he said. Wolpe notes that the Administration establishes austerity cuts in areas like education, health, and job training and then offsets them with “increases in the defense budgets and tax cuts for the wealthy.” He also said current budget priorities should be altered by funnelling federal dollars to human labor-oriented activities that are job creating. With an excessive defense budget, “you are removing dollars from Michigan" because the defense plants are in the south, Wolpe said. Areas that have more job creating potential than defense are the ones being cut. including transportation, job training, and education, he added. Wolpe stresses that a major commitment is needed to job training. He believes the automobile industry will never employ as many persons again as it did at its peak. To counter that, he said, “we need industrial redirection" into growth industries. President Ronald Reagan's economic recovery program “is not working," Wolpe said, claiming that it is "digging a deeper hole.” Howard Wolpe The mounting federal deficit is "un­ dermining economic recovery.” he said, pointing out the increased number of business failures and the economically depressed forming situation. While Wolpe says its true that interest rates are coming down, he doesn't believe it's because of economic strength. Lower inflation is a phenomenon that usually occurs with a high rate of unemployment, he says, and not necessarily a factor in the signal of a stronger economy. In reference to the escalating national debt. Wolpe admits that it did not occur overnight and was part of the legacy passed on to Reagan. However. Wolpe says that at the end of Reagan's four year term, the debt is expected to climb to $1.4 trillion, “with over 40 percent (of that) accrued in this four year period." Wolpe says a mid-course correction in economic policies is "desperately" needed. Specifically, he said that means there should be a slower rate of defense spending, more attention to closing some of the tax loop-holes that Congress has already begun, and a shift of budget priorities that would favor job creating activities that are critical to economic recovery including focus to research and development to keep pace with foreign competition. "I believe in a strong defense," Wolpe said, but a defense along more conventional ’’eins. Changing current economic policies, he said, also means to continue to eliminate the billions of "dollars that go to federal "pork barrel" walcr ’t’i'i energy’ projects which he has opposed the Clinch River Breeder Reactor Project and Tennessee—Tombigbee Waterway. In response to Mil liman’s charge that Wolpe is anti-business, the incumbent Congressman says, “nothing is further than the truth." Wolpe said the attack is “an absolute distortion and mispresen*ation of my record”, and that Milliman is citing low ratings that he received from business organization's that are primarily advocates of the current Administration's policies. Wolpe said he was one of 20 congressmen to receive special commendation from the National Small Business Association on behalf of his efforts for business. He also cites a special commendation he received from the National Taxpayers Union for working to eliminate funding for costly federal porkbarrel projects. In addition, Wolpe pointed out specific examples of the work he has done on behalf of the Third District including his role in taking on the Federal Trade Commission when there was a recent attempt to break up the cereal industry in Battle Creek and working with the Checker Motor Co. in Kalamazoo. Wolpe said Wednesday that he's not sure yet how much he'll spend in his campaign, but estimates that it will total between $250,000-300.000. County ballot proposal seeks tax increase for roads; Freeport voters face liquor vote Voters in Barry County will be asked to approve a .5 mill lax increase for roads when they go to the polls on Tuesday. The ballot proposal asks voters to increase the total allocated millage from 15 to 15.5 mills for five years. The extra .5 mills, if approved, would increase the townships’ share of allocated millage from 1 mill to 1.5 mill. All 16 townships in the county have adopted resolutions pledging to use the increased taxes for road work, if the proposal is ap­ proved.

(The Fifth District now includes the eight northern townships of Barry County and the city of Hastings. > Sawyer's opponent. Democratic state Sen. Stephen Monsma, has charged that Sawyer distorted senate voting record in campaign commercials. Monsma said the Sawyer based his commercials on ammendments and votes related to marijuana laws, prison construction and workers compensation reform, not on the actual laws. “We'll stand exactly on what we said," Sawyer said. “We made one mistake, that was a typographical error." Sawyer said that Monsma does not dispute commercials which say that he voted against mandatory sentencing on physical assaults on the handicapped and elderly, and two voles to increase welfare by $80 million and reduce education by $100 million. Sawyer said that his commercials were carefully researched and that Monsm is launching a personal attack on him. "We knew he was going to do it," he said. "He's gone way down in the polls. Unless he can swing the whole thing around in the next two weeks, he's lost." Sawyer discussed a number of other issues with the Banner: Reagan's economic program Sawyer look the 1982 Republican position on the economy saying that the unem­ ployment situation is always the last to respond in an economic recovery. "When (President) Carter took over.” he said, “inflation was 4.8 percent When he left it was 12.5 percent. The prime rate was 6.8 percent when Carter came in and 21.5 per­ cent when he left And the national budget in those four years had grown from $400 billion to $576 billion." Sawyer continued his statistical litany, saying that the economy was growing at a rale of 5.4 percent when the Carter term began and was minus .2 percent when he left office, while federal spending was growing at 17 percent. “That's the mess Reagan took over." he said. He said that ny curbing federal spending. Reagan brought the inflation rate down to an annualized rate of 5.1 percent and the in­ terest rate is also dropping. When the interest rate comes down, he continued, the prime and short term fall first, followed by consumer credit, then mortgage rates. "The money will become available for consumer credit for factory expansion and homes," he said. Sawyer conceded that from a political point of view, the economic issue is jobs. Reagan is making good progress on the other areas of the economy and the jobs will follow, he said. “You nave to take the lumps and lough it out." he said. "I wish I could say there is a better way to do it. but if we didn't do it, we were headed for disaster." Sawyer dismissed Democrats charges that the Reagan tax plan is weighted to the wealthy. He pointed to the 18 percent Ken­ nedy tax cut of 1962, of which 29 percent went to corporations and 26 percent went to those in the five highest tax brackets. In the Reagan cut, he said, only 22 percent is going to corporations and 23 percent to the five highest brackets. "This is just a bunch of baloney," he said. "When you cut taxes, the people who pay taxes get the biggest cut." He added that the drop in inflation has added “a lot of purchasing power” to the middle income class. Nuclear weapons freeze Like his opponent, Sawyer supports the nuclear arms freeze proposal on the Michigan ballot, but he said he has misgivings. Nuclear arms negotiations are the job of the president, he said, and the president is in favor of a varifiable freeze if he can get one Sawyer said that the Michigan proposal "doesn’t...do anything radical." Social SecuritySawyer thinks that the financial problems of the Social Security system can be handled in the next seven years Without radica. changes to the funds. After seven years, with no changes in the system, the fund will star! tofehow a surplus, he said. The system will be okay during the years when the Depression babies are in retirement, because the birthrate was low during the 1930's, but problems will recur in the early decades ol the next century as the post-war baby boom generation reaches retirement. “I think it ought to be taken out of politics and gel a good national dialogue going," he said. On the short-term, he said, the Social Security system may have to borrow from the general fund and a limit could be put on the cost-of-living payments except for those people who could show they need the extra money. Auto contents law Even though he was one of the co-sponsors of the legislation to require foreign manufacturers to use a percentage of American parts in cars sold here, he said he doesn't like the proposal. Sawyer said, however, that until the Japanese ••pen their markets to American manufacturers, the legislation is a good idea. "They apparently don't think we’re serious," he said. "I would like to at least pass the contents bill, then if they open their markets, we could repeal it." He added that he doesn’t think it's a good idea to add high tarrifs or enforce low quotas for Japanese or other foreign cars. Detroit has to face the competition, he said. “We’ve got to get competitive," he said, improve our technology, improve our autos. We haven’t done anything significant with autos in 30 years.” He also said that labor unions have to be more hardheaded about efficiency and quality. Unemployment debt The congressman didn't know the answer to how Michigan will handle its large debt to the federal government for money borrowed to pay unemployment benefits. He said, however, that he voted for the legislation to waive the $87 million in interest on the debt and make a penalty clause inactive. “As for the loag term," he said, ‘ I’m not an expert in that area." Campaign spending Sawyer said he will spend over $300,000 in his campaign, compared to $315,00 in 1980 Monsma says commercials have distorted his record by Robert J. Johnston State Sen. Stephen Monsma, running for congress in the Fifth District against Rep. Harold Sawyer. R-Rockford. says his op­ ponent is distorting his campaign record in television commercials. (The Filth District now includes the eight northern townships ol Barry County and the city of Hastings). Sawyer has denied Monsma s charges. “He’s standing by lies at that point." Monsma told the Banner when he learned of Sawyer's position. "That position is un­ tenable." Monsma produced copies of the Senate journal showing his votes on the issues raised by Sawyers commercials. He contended that Sawyer had chosen to base his com­ mercials on ammendments to bills, rather than the bills themselves, some of which he said were unrelated to the actual legislation. Toset the record straight, Monsma said he voted in favor of making sale of marijuana to minors a felony, voted in favor of prison construction and voted in favor of workers compensation reform, all issues which Sawyer said he voted against. Monsma also produced a copy of a letter from the Michigan Manufacturers Association (hanking him for his support of workers compensation reform “If I'm wrong, I wish somebody would point it out." he said. “It’s clear that the record shows that he's wrong. He can say what he will but that doesn't make it the truth." A review of Monsma s stand on other issues follows: Reagan’s economic program Monsma said that the state and the nation are lacing an almost crisis situation, with 16 percent unemployment in the slate and businesses failing a 500 per week nationwide. The Michigan Milk Producers Association, he said, predicted last week, that 10 to 15 percent of the present dairy farmers will go under. “The leading economic indicators grew by 81 percent on an annualized rate," he said. "Thai’s not enough to pull us out of recession." He said that Reaganomics is the wrong road and that the nation should not follow the Republican advice of “stay the course". He said that if you add up all of the federal spending cuts against increases which are mostly for defense, and against the reduc­ tions in revenues from tax increases, the nation will end up with a $150 billion deficit this year and again in the next two fiscal years. "It means there is no real hope for interest rales to come down," he said. He said the present drop in interest rate« is only tem­ porary and is being caused by the severity of the recession. As soon as the economy picks up. he said, the interest rates will go back up. In the next three years, he continued, the federal government will soak up 50 ti 70 percent of the available credit in the money­ supply WILL COST YOU... ...HIGHER UNEMPLOYMENT ...HIGHER PROPERTY TAXES ...HIGHER INTEREST RATES ...A REDUCTION INAVAILABLE MORTGAGE MONEY VOTE NO ON PROPOSAL Paid For By The Committee To Save Michigan Homeowners 241 W State St.. Hastings ML 49058 "I don't see it as something we have to do," he said, "the problem we have is really not a long-range problem. It's the next three to ten years." He said the best way to get ever the short­ term problem is to use some general fund money to bail out the system, which, he notes, all modern European countries do. To counter the budget deficit, he said, the government should reduce the "huge in­ creases” in military spending. “I’m not calling for a decrease, I’m calling for maintaining the current level," he said. Monsma said he doesn't see the need for reactivating World War II battle ships at the cost of $800 million each and other programs of what he called the “gold plated" military. "If we are more cost conscious and ask for tougher cost effective decisions.” he said, “I believe we can have more than adequate forces to provide for national security.” Military cuts alone, he said, would save $25 to $50 billion over the next three years. The candidate also calls for recinding some of the tax breaks that were put in place by the Reagan administration. He suggested delaying or eliminating the 1983 tax cuts for families making over $60,000 per year and eliminating some of the tax break's for big business such as safe harbor leasing. “I see no reason to phase them out over a period of time (as the administration has proposed)," he said. "They are more boondoggles for (big business). There is no economic reason they are necessary in order to stimulate the economy." The military and tax changes would raise $40 to $60 billion, which he said won't balance the budget, but will bring it closer in line. To help the unemployed in the short run, he continued, he called for approval of the supplemental appropriations jobs program which passed the House, but not the Senate. “It would have put a billion dollars into public works projects," he said. “There is work out there that needs doing and meanwhile there are people out there on unemployment or welfare. At least it would have put a good number of them back to work.” This program was also targeted to high unemployment areas, which would have boosted Michigan's share, he said. The Reagan lax cut, Monsma said, is skewed toward the wealthy. The theory of supply side economics, he said, is to relieve the tax burden on the wealthy and the cor­ porations so that they will invest to simulate the economy. “Where it has gone wrong is that the tax cut is really being purchased deficits.” he analyzed. "If you cut taxes by $50 million, that means you have $50 million to invest, but because we're buying it with deficits, it’s like a dog chasing its tail." He said that the deficits eat up any credit that would have theoretically been available. He said that the current economic problem is that America's production capacity is not being utilized because the demand for goods and services is not there. “If we wish toget an economy moving, we should give the tax breaks to the large middle class." he said, "who will go out and buy cars, buy furniture, buy televisons and new houses. The demand will stimulate the economy." Social Security The candidate said that the fact that Reagan's task force on Social Security is not going to report until after the elections makes him nervous. He expects the task force to call for either a tax increase or a cut in benefits. He opposes both. to use a percentage of American made parts. "I think it’s much superior to import quotas," he said. "High tarrifs on cars tend to limit competition. This law would force foreign companies to do what Volkswagen lias done and build a plant in the United States." He also said that he believes that foreign competition can be good for the auto in­ dustry. but that free trade must also be fair Nuclear weapons freeze trade. Monsma supports the freeze proposal on the Michigan ballot because it called for a “In the long run," Monsma said, "the mutually verifiable freeze, not just a U.S. consumer is going toget better products for a freeze. lower price. But it has to be a two street.

"The preferred route is to have the federal government excuse penalty charges on that debt," he said. "Secondly, it would be ap­ propriate for the federal government to assume a portion of that debt.” The federal government, he continued, was responsible for certain policies that have been devastating to Michigan; policies causing high interest rates and allowing a high number of imported cars. "Whatever the causes, you can’t say they w ere due to Michigan,” he said. "They came out jf Washington. A good portion of that debt can be fairly laid to the federal policies.” Monsma favored the legislation, which died in the House during the last session, requiring foreign automobile manufacturers Campaign spending Monsma said that he expected to spend about $140,000 on his general election campaign.

October 28. 1982 — Page 18 Karpinski says Hastings satisfied with Twin Valley by Steve Vedder Fanning a new athletic conference may sound like an easy task, but according to Hastings Athletic Director Bill Karpinski, it's not quite as easy as it may seem. Karpinski believes it can be a “trying experience" for a school to change leagues. Such factors as travel, athletic philosophies, competition, and scheduling must be taken into account. When a school system examines all those factors, often times the system decides it's better off staying where it is. As far as Hastings goes, Karpinski thinks the Twin Valley is a very solid league, but teams aren't going to want to form a new league with Hastings as the hub. “Those schools don’t want to form a new league. When you do form a new league you have to think of all the other schools in­ volved." says Karpinski. Another problem schools must con­ template before jumping leagues is travel. In these lagging economic times, a school would consider changing leagues if it meant cutting travel expenses. The longest trip Hastings currently makes is the 85-mile, two-hour trek to Hillsdale. Sturgis is 70 miles away. Coldwater 65, Albion 50. and Harper Creek 35. Jackson Northwest is 58 miles away, but next season that school will be replaced by Battle Creek Lakeview which is 28 miles from Hastings. The average trip is 57.5 miles to any Twin Valley school from Hastings. Karpinski admits travel within the Twin Valley is a concern, but he says the kids also are a concern. "I think the travel is something we can live with," he says. “It’s not ideal, but we're living with it” Karpinski says the Twin Valley has taken steps in the last couple of years to cut down on the schools’ travel expenses. For in­ stance, baseball and softball teams travel to games on the same bus. Triangular meets are scheduled in boys and girls track, and volleyball meets now include four teams instead of two. “The Twin Valley has been aware of the problem and we’ve cut down on travel just by our scheduling. We’ve made every effort to cut down our scheduling," says Karpinski. Even if enough teams willing to form a new athletic league were found, Karpinski believes it would take a year or two to organize a league. He says among other things, by-laws would have to be established, a constitution must be written, and a formal schedule adopted. In addition, several leagues won't allow a school out of it's existing league obligation for two years. ■ People think it's easy to form a league. It isn t. There's a lot to a league," notes Kar­ pinski. Taking everthing into account, does Karpinski think Hastings will be leaving the Twin Valley within the next two or three years9 "That’s hard to answer," he admits. “I’ll tell you this, though, our eyes will be open. I’m not saying our league is the answer, but we’re not going into something blind where we wouldn't be bettering ourselves." Bus driving regulations explained The “good old days" of busing are over as state cuts leave school systems to pay a greater share of transportation, says Bob Miller, Administrative Assistant for non­ Instruction. Miller points out that 29 buses were used daily to transpc -t 2,232 pupils in the Hastings school system. The daily mileage totaled 1,619 with the cost per mile being $1.47. Total expenses for transportation for the year totaled $437,385.31. The state reim­ bursed the district only $169,902.19 leaving a net cost to the district of $267,483.12. This sum represents 2.025 mills of local support to admits be is not opposed to keeping an open mind concerning any new league. “I’m willing to listen to anyone, but right now there isn’t much choice which league we’d plav in," says Karpinski. “It's veryeasy to criticize a league, yet it isn't that easy to get into a league. Ideally, there probably is a better league for us. Realistically, no. “We re dealing with first class people in the Twin Valley. It’s really a prestigious conference. It has a lot of exposure. Plus we’re very close in philosophy and in the type of kids we’re playing against." The main problem with forming a new league, says Karpinski, is finding enough schools willing to leave their existing con­ ferences. For example, Hastings with 1,014 students in the high school, is comparable in enrollment to Charlotte (1,170), Ionia (992), Lakewood (799), Wayland (7<«D, Delton (693), and Caledonia (637). Such a conference would be beneficial to Hastings, but Karpinski points out that the public fails to realize Charlotte is quite happy in the Capital Circuit, Ionia is satisfied in the Mid-Michigan League, etc. Those provide transportation to the students. Perhaps the most important aspect of school transportation, which is of most concern to parents, is safety. School bus equipment specifications in Michigan are among the most rigorous in the country, and an annual inspection of each pupil tran­ sportation vehicle is required. Moreover, each school bus purchased in Michigan must now be inspected by the State Police, or State Police delegated inspector prior to ac­ ceptance for delivery by a school district. A bus carrying pupils may only be driven by a person who has completed a rigorous Armed Services News Sharon K. Waters Air Force Master Sgt. Sharon K. Waters, daughter of retired Air Force Tech.

An open letter to the voters of Barry County For many of us the 1982 election is an exceptionally difficult one because of the stresses on our whole society at this time. This may be the appropriate time to take a look at a disturbing situation in our county government. None of our county officers were originally chosen by the voters. Every single one was appointed because their predecessor, for one reason or another, left before their term expired, leaving behind the gift of incumbency, an undeniable advantage in an election. Political parties also have a tendency to appoint defeated candidates to commissions and committees, thereby perpetuating the dynasty.

Autumn in Michigan produces just that effect every year on many of its inland w-aterways not designated as trout streams or lakes. With the onset of fall, it seems, the state’s bass, walleye, perch, bluegill, and pike fisheries are largely ignored as anglers turn their attention to the salmon and steelhead rivers for the fall spawning runs. Some even “hang-up" their rods altogether in an­ ticipation of hunting season. As a result, more and more fishing enthusiasts are discovering that some of the most relaxing and productive, fishing can be enjoyed on Michigan's non-trout streams, inland lakes, and Great Lakes waters after summer ends. The Michigan Travel Bureau’s toll-free Conditions Report Line (800-292-5404 in Michigan; 800-248-5708 outside Michigan) gives regularly updated information on what is biting, where and on what 24 hours a day.

THE HASTINGS JAYCEES �The Hastings Banner, Thursday, October 28, 1982 — Page 19 Area High School Football results Hastings 15-Hillsdale 10 The Hastings footbali team might not a devastating offense, but they do what they have to do to win. Last week a one-yard run by Louie Burroughs with one minute left gave Hastings a 15-10 comeback win over Hillsdale. The one-yard run culminated a 90-yard drive by Hastings as time was running out in the final period. Hastings trailed 10-7 with four minutes left in the game. At that time Hastings took possession of a punt at its own 10-yard line and twice converted key third down situations to keep the drive alive until they drove to the one-yard line. There, on fourth down. Burroughs went over and the twopoint conversion gave Hastings a 15-10 lead. HiHsdale was able to move the ball deep into Saxon territory after the touchdown, but Jim Replogle intercepted a Hillsdale pass with five seconds togo toend the drive. “It was a well-played game," said Hastings coach Jeff Simpson. "I felt we had a couple of breakdowns in the third quarter, but overall 1 thought we played good. Especially that first drive." Simpson was elluding to his team's first possession when they drove 64 yards in eight plays. Bruce Martin capped that drive with a one-yard run for a touchdown. His con­ version gave Hastings a quick 7-0 lead. Hillsdale tied the score in the second period capping a 60-yard drive of their own with a one-yard run. The Hornets kicked a ?eld goal midway through the third period to take a 10-7 lead. That three-point margin stood until Hartings put together it's game-winning drive with the clock winding down in the final period. Simpso" said his offense, erratic in the third quarter when they fumbled twice, scored when it had too. "That’s two wins in a row for us and both times we had to make drives in the fourth quarter,’' he said. "I think the kids are starting to put it together when we need it. I think that says a lot for them." Defensively. Simpson said, "They probably hit us the hardest we’ve been hit this year. But I think we did our share of cracking too." he noted. Cris Hough led the defense with 15 tackles. Dan DeDecker and Bruce Martin each had 14 tackles. Individually on offense Hastings had 214 total yards on 195 rushing and 19 passing Burroughs finished with 115 yards on the ground and Martin had 87. The win upped the Hastings record to 4-3 overall and 3-3 in the Twin Valley. Words for the Y’s for every inch," he said. Wood singled out linebacker Bart Weslow and down lineman Ken Love for special praise. Cedar Springs outrushed Lakewood 166-35. Viking quarterback Dave Barker was a bright spot for the team as he completed 13 of 28 passes for 157 yards. Cedar Springs completed two of three passes for 20 yards. Dave Hilley grabbed six of Barker's tosses for 88 yards. Lakewood will shoot for win number one against Fremont (2-5 overall, 1-4 league) this Friday night.

Standings Middleville 24 - Comstock 19 Things might finally be going in the right direction for Middlerille's football team. The Trojans avoided mistakes last Fridaynight and the result was a 24-19 upset of OKBlue frontrunner Comstock Park. "No fumbles," said Trojan coach RayPage after the game. “Do you believe we had no fumbles? We didn’t even have one." Thornapple-Kellogg. instead of playing the give-away game of the last three weeks, used a much-improved offense to grind out a total of 351 total yards. And Page liked what he saw. “We’re real!., not that bad of team," he said. “We started to pul things back together in this game. I think wesort of lost something when we lost to Hamilton. One mistake would multiply itself into others. “We played with more intensity, drive and spirit in this game." Middleville now has a 2-4 OK-Blue record and are 3-4 overall. Comstock Park falls out of first with a 5-1 league record. Middleville spotted Comstock a 6-0 lead, but roared back with a pair of touchdowns on a one-yard run by Scott Kaminski and a 10yard run by Jim Schipper. Comstock's Jack Houghton tied the game back up again with a 70-yard run. Tim Lukas put the Trojans back on top to stay as he caught a seven-yard pass from Schipper before the half to give ThornappleKellogg an 18-12 lead. That lead was increased to 24-12 in the third quarter on a five-yard run by Dave Van Sickle, before Houghton closed the scoring for Comstock with a one-yard dive in the final period. Schipper completed 17 of 30 passes for 206 yards and ran for 88 yards in 18 carries to lead the offense. Anthony Doombos caught seven Schipper passes for 83 yards while Lukas finished with six catches for 65 yards Defensively, Middleville allowed 214 yards on the ground and 137 passing. Page had special praise for linebackers Ed Wilson and Rob Boshears and halfback Scott Dufflo. Cedar Springs 14 ■ Lakewood 0 Maple Valley ■ 35 ■ Bronson 6 t Akewood's football team continues to have H a problems. They remain winless as Cedar Springs edged the Vikings 14-0 last Friday. Lake wood is now 0-5 in the Tri-River League and 0-7 overall. Cedar Springs is now 2-5. Viking coach T.m Wood said “timely penalties” hurt his team. Wood, for starters, pointed out the two long pass plays by­ Lakewood that were called back due to clipping penalties. Both times Lakewood would have had the ball inside the Cedar Springs five-yard line. Then there was the long pass play right before the half took the ball to Cedar Springs one-yard line before the clock ran out on the Vikings. Cet^r Springs scored its touchdowns on a pair of runs by Chris Dryer of one and two yards. Despite the loss. Wood was happy with his team's defensive showing. “I thought we played real well. Cedar Springs rushed the ball but they had to fight Maple Valley's football team has cleared their last obstacle before their title-deciding clash with Pennfield. Last Friay the Lions beat Bronson 35-6 to up it’s record in the Southern Michigan Athletic Association to 5-0. The win sets the stage for a winner take all confrontation between the Lions and Panthers on October 29. Pennfield is also 5-0 in the SMAA. Maple Valley coach Dan Watson admitted his team was probably guilty of looking ahead to Pennfield. “Sure they were, it’s hard not too," said Watson. “We're playing a team that's only 15 (Bronson) and you've got to believe it's tough to get up for a game like that. We won’t have any trouble getting up this week." After a scoreless first quarter, the Lions put together a second period, 78-yard, 12-play drive capped by a two-yard run by Chris Barton. Scott Everett’s extra point gave Maple Valley a 7-0 lead. A 35-yard touchdown pass from Ron Herman to Brian Miller cut the lead to 7-6 before Maple Valley got rolling. Soxon Louie Burroughs (4) slides for yardage against Hillsdale last Friday night. They scored once before halftime on a sixyard run by Tony Reid. That touchdown capped an 11-play, 64-yard drive. Maple Valley put the game beyond reach in the third quarter as they scored twice more. The first came after Marty Martin returned the second half kickoff to midfield. Three plays later Barton scored from the two. Tom DeGroot kicked the extra point for a 20-6 lead. The Lions put together a 70-yard, seven­ play drive a few minutes later with Martin scoring from the seven. Maple Valley led at that point 26-6. Maple Valley’s last drive was probably its best. Starting from their own 10, the Lions drove to the Bronson one-yard line. From there Eric Brown scored and Everett's kick made the score 33-6. The Lions scored their final points on a safety when Bronson muffed a punt in its own end zone. Statistically, Maple Valley outrushed Bronson 305-172, and also outpassed the Vikings 133-71. Reid finished with 88 yards on 10 carries while Barton rushed for 140 yards on 23 carries. Tony Dunkelburger caught five passes for 111 yards and also led the defense with 10 tackles. Delton 17 ■ Paw Paw 14 (ot) Delton won it's third game of the season last Friday as Jim Van Hoose kicked a 13yard fielo to give the Panthers a 17-14 overtime win e'er Paw Paw. The win ups Delton's record to 3-3 in the Kalamazoo Valley and 3-4 overall. Paw Paw drops to 2-4 and 2-5. Van Hoose's kick came after the Panthers had slopped Paw Paw on Rusty Carroll’s interception on Paw Paw's series of downs in overtime. Delton took over the ball and moved seven yards on three plays before Van Hoose kicked his game winner on fourth down. Delton coach Fred Pessell said he thought his team played good enough to win, but not much better. “We had to overcome a lot of adversity. We had some people hurt and we had to play over that,” he said. "Overall I thought we played well." Delton scored first in the game on a seven­ yard run by Rusty Carroll in the opening (Photo by Fred Jocobs) period. The score came after a 65-yard drive and Van Hoose's extra point made it 7-0. Paw Paw cut the margin to 7-6 in the second period as they scored on a broken Play. Delton scored again after a 70-yard drive in the third period on a 12-yard run by Vaughn Mills. Again Van Hoose kicked the extra point and Delton had a 14-6 lead at the half. A 50-yard pass play and a two-point con­ version tied the game at 14 with about four minutes left to send the game into overtime. Pessell said Delton’s offense, particularly the running game, was effective. The Panthers rushed for 270 yards as a team with Carroll accounting for 227 of those yards on 41 carries. The Panthers completed only one of three passes for 16 yards. Defensively, Delton limited Paw Paw to 53 yards on the ground and 177 through the air. “We got burned a couple of time,” Pessell said of his defense. “But we were missing missing three starters going into the Paw Paw game and then we lost one more. Hopefully we’ll have most of them back against Galesburg," he said. Saxon eagers bomb Hillsdale 51 ■ 75 The Hastings girls basketball team celebrated a successul Parent’s Night on October 26 with a 51-15 trouncing of Hillsdale. The Saxons jumped to 9-0 first quarter lead and promptly increased it to 25-2 al the half. With all 11 girls seeing considerable action, Hastings outscored Hillsdal 7-6 and 20-6 the final two periods. Kelly Mogg led Hastings with 17 points. Jackie Jaynes added eight, Karen Williams seven and Paula Atkinson six. Mogg fed the rebounders with 12 while Atkinson grabbed eight.

Three area grid teams face tough games Two area football teams face spoiler roles on Friday night while a third team will play for it’s respective championship. Maple Valley will travel to Pennfield to decide the fate of the Southern Michigan Athletic Championship. Both teams are undefeated in five league games. The Lions have won six of seven games overall while Pennfield has yet to lose this fall. Maple Valley coach Dan Watson says he is expecting a battle. He says both teams have good offensive and defensive lines and ex­ cellent running games. Watson gives his team an edge in the receiving corps while the Panthers gel the nod at quarterback, depth and size. "The real difference might be that it will be played at Pennfield. I think the game probably be decided by a break or a big play," says Watson. Watson is also worried about the brusing Panther defense that has surrendered only three touchdowns (only one by the first unit) all year. Maple Valley will counter with the running of Tony Reid and Chris Barton, the arm of Randy Joostbems. and the hands of end Tony Dunkelburger. Middleville and Delton, both out of their respective title races, have golden op­ portunites to decide who does win cham­ pionships in their leagues. Middleville, a 24-19 upset winner over Comstock last week, travels to Byron Center. The Bulldogs are 4-2 in the OK-Blue League and must win to tie Hudsonville for firstplace. Comstock, now with two conference losses, takes on Hudsonville. “We could beat Byron Center if we play like we did last week." says Page. "If we don't play like that we’ll lose.” Middleville is 3-4 overall and 2-4 in league Play. Delton also has a chance to upset an ap­ plecart when they host Galesburg. The Rams have won five of six conference games while Delton is out of the race at 3-3 (3-4 overall). The Panthers were missing three starters going into last week’s Paw Paw game, and then proceeded to lose a fourth starter in that game. “We’ll have our hands full." says Delton coach Fred Pessell, whose team has won two straight. "Hopefully, we'll have most of our players back by then." Hastings will travel to Marshall on Friday with a chance to eliminate the Redskins from the Twin Valley title race. Marshall is 4-2 in the league, one game behind first-place Coldwater. Hastings, 3-3 in the Twin Valley, has a chance to move into third place with a win over the Redskins. A Delton tackler pulls down a Paw Paw Redskin ball carrier last Friday night. Delton beat Paw Paw in overtime for it’s third win of the season. Two area teams have chances to be spoilers this Friday and one other team has a chance to win a championship.

We've won two in a row now and the kids are putting it together when they have to," he says. "I think that says a lot." Lakewood will try one more time to win it's first game of the season when they host Fremont. The Vikings have yet towin in five conference and seven games overall this year. Fremont is 1-4 and 2-5. 5 0 0 4 1 0 1 4 0 0 5 0 3-4 Graders Western 4 0 0* Georgia 3 0 1 Panthers 2 1 1 MSU 1 3 0 Michigan 1 3 0 Clemson 0 4 0 Next Week Games: Lions Vs. Western. Cowboys Vs.

Hastings finished fourth in the meet with a 364. The results of the Twin Valley meet, combined with dual records of the teams, means that Sturgis captured the overall golf title with 13«4r points. Hastings took third with 12*z2 points. In the Twin Valley meet Tom Finnie’s 86 led the Saxons. David Kuzava shwl an 88, Mark Brown an 89 and Nick Willison a 101 for Hastings other scores. “I think we were capable of much better," said Saxon golf coach Bob Carlson. "The weather was cold and rainy and I’m sure that had to make a difference. But that’s just one of the unfortunate parts of golf." The Saxons finished sixth in the regional meet that proceeded the Twin Valley meet. There Kuzana, Brown and Finnic all shot 89s. Mike McLain shot a 94 for the fourth Hastings score. For the season Hastings finished with a 6-1 Twin Valley dual meet record and were 9-5 overall. Carlson called the season, “very successful." “Before the season the person we thought would be the number one player moved to go to California. So taking that into account. I’d say it was a very successful season,” said Carlson. Local team wins tennis tourney The Hastings Four-Man Tennis Cham­ pionship was decided recently at East Hills Tennis Club in Grand Rapids.

Judge Robinson to retire in December Circuit Court Judge Richard Robinson, 66. has written a letter of resignation to Gov. William Milliken, giving Dec. 18 as his last day. Though his letter gave no reason for the resignation, it is believed health plays a part in his decision. Robinson was first elected to the bench in 1966, beating Angus McLeod. A celebrated case came in March of that year, when he ruled the Mid-Villa may be foreclosed ad­ judging a sale of both real and personal property, after a jury brought the verdict of "no material representation" in the case of Earl and Myrtle Cole against Jack and Bernice Silvernale. In December of that same year, he ordered Attorney Richard Bauer to offer a formal apology to the court or be held in contempt for allegations made by Bauer and filed in affadavit. Bauer alleged that Robinson should disqualify himself in a civil suit in which Attorney Frederick McDonald of Allegan was respresenting one parly stating that McDonald, being the son of Judge Ar­ chie McDonald, would be shown favoritism since Robinson was supported by Archie in his election. In August. 1973. Robinson was severely injured in a car-tractor accident near Eaton Rapids. He suffered broken ribs, back and internal injuries as he was knocked from his farm tractor as he was driving home after working in a field. Judge Richard Robinson The Hastings Democrats take control of Board of Commissioners By Elaine Gilbert Democrats have taken control of the Barry County Board of Commissioners for the first time in memory as a result of Tuesday's election. When the newly elected commissioners lake office January 1. the board will be comprised of four Democrats and three Republicans. Vigorous campaigns spiced the board races in most districts resulting in three Republican incumbents being ousted, three other incumbents claiming victory, two Banner Devoted to the Interests of Barry County Since 1856 Hastings, Michigan Vol. 127, No. 43 Price 20c Thursday, November 4,1482 Bender wins State House seat by Robert J. Johnston In one of lhe closest races for state representative in memory. Republican Bob Bender of Middleville edged out Democrat Bob Edwards of Hastings by just 1,000 votes. The final vote tally was 14,561-13,539, giving Bender just under 52 percent. The new 68th district includes all of Ionia and Barry counties except Thornapple and Yankee Springs townships. The race was so close by Barry County standards that Edwards is already looking al two years down the road. 1 d<ri't have statistical data to review where ’ was weak and strong," Edwards said. "1 will do lhat so that in two years if I decide to run again. I’ll know where to work harder." Just 226 votes separated lhe two can­ didates in Ionia County. It was early Wednesday morning before Bender began to puli ahead in the returns. Early returns in Ionia County had Edwards in the lead, while Bender led throughout the evening in Barry County. “It's a new district, neither of us had name recognition and this was not a good year to be running as a Republican." Bender said, explaining lhe close vole. He said that his opponent was an effective and active campaigner who had a lot of good help and good support from his party and unions. "Bob Edwards was a good quality can­ didate." Bender said. “That's something tliat hasn't happened (from the Democrats) in this district for a long lime." As the winner, Bender is looking ahead to January 1, when he takes office as the first legislator from Barry County elected in 25 years. He said lhat he has already set up some meetings in I-ansi ng to get indoctrinated into the procedures and has taken some steps toward obtaining a legislative secretary. “I would like to spend some time between now and the end of the year particularly in Ionia County," he said. “I met a lol of folks during lhe campaign that I don't know. I would like to sit down and establish some working relationships to let them know I’m accessible to them." He said that in a campaign situation, he often would visit a place, meet many people, then have to leave. Edwards, a professional lobbyist, is also looking to go back to work in Lansing. He said that he hasn't yet decided whether lo go back lo his own lobbying office or tn take a job with the new Democratic administration in Lansing. Edwards said he had already received some contacts from Democratic leaders. Edwards said he believed that lhe county is made up of independent thinkers, which attributed to the victory of the Democrats in taking a majority of the seats on the county board of commissioners. Ionia County also elected more Democratic commissioners than in the past, he said. . In Barry County’s 16 townships, Edwards carried Baltimore, Hope. Orangeville and Barry Township's second precinct. He also carried the city of Hastings' Second Ward. The only areas of the county where the two candidates were more than 100 votes apart were in the First and Fourth Wards of the city. In the First Ward, Bender totalled 355 votes lo Edwards’ 223. In the Fourth Ward, the vote was also in Bender's favor, 352-228. The city of Ionia went in Edwards' favor, where he received 1,013 to 857 for Bender. Bender offset that total ir. Odessa Township, which includes l^ake Odessa, where he gained the lead 627494.

Talks broke down, last month, after several union proposals and company offers. Insiders in the company and union have said some movement has taken place on both sides, but lhe reports could not be confirmed. "We have not reached a standstill yet," Dennis Witham, industrial relations director, said. “No additional talks are scheduled but we still feel there is a reasonable satisfactory obtainable." David Turnes, chief negotiator for the production maintenance section of the union, was not available for comment. "I'm pleased to see women back on the board loo. Women add a dimension to the board when they serve on it," Mrs Coleman said. Incubenl Gordon returned to his seat by a margin of 140 votes, defeating Middleville Republican Catherine Williamson 1.2651,125. “We ran a good race over here. Cathy and I ran a straight forward race. We didn’t have the problem of mudslinging that other places have had." "The election results are a vote for positivism in the county," said Gordon who not only is pleased with his own victory but with the Democratic majority on the board. “It's the first time in memory that Democrats have been the majority on the board." he said. County Clerk Norval Thaler agrees, saying that he couldn't find anyone who can remember the county board being anything but Republican, as far back as the days of the County Board of Supervisors. However, Gordon downplays partisan roles on the county board "in as much as the history of the county board has been a bipartisan effort. Any of the positive, progressive things that have been done have not been on a partisan basis. "The board has never operated on a partisan basis and I don't forsce that happening whatever the lineup would be. In my view, the results would be the total net picture," he said. "It’s going to be a positive looking board," Gordon said of the newly elected com­ missioners. “I think that's important because of the smaller size of the board.

The size of the county board has been shaved from 11 to seven commissioners under the new reapportionmer.t plan adopted earlier this year. Mrs. Coleman won election by the largest margin in the county board race, defeating former Hastings Mayor Franklin Beckwith 1,409-942. "I'm grateful and pleased by the election," Mrs. Coleman said. “I’m looking forward to doing the best 1 can for the citizens..." A former county board chairman during her last term. Mrs. Coleman served on the county board from 1973-78. Of her upcoming term, she said, “I'm looking forward to working with people I haven't had a chance to work with before" in addition to her former associates. "One of the first things we’ll have to do is to get the board organized and look at all we have to do with four fewer commissioners," she said. "It will have to be. by circumstance and the type of people (elected), a more active board'' than in the past," Mrs. Coleman said. In winning election to the board, she said she had done more campaigning for this round because of opposition from a “good candidate," noting that she had little op­ position in the past. “1 also found campaigning to be more expensive than in the past.

United way �The Hastings Banner, Thursday, November 4. 1902 Page 2 Targets Hastings next Middleville recycling site opens by Steve Vedder The organization Recycling in Barry County, which opened it’s first site on Saturday in Middleville, says it's next project is finding a recycling site in Hastings. Jackie Schmitz, Darlene Paulauski and Shirley Wietnik, who comprise Recycling in Barry County, are confident the recycling site located behind the Middle Mart PartyStore will be a substantial asset to the people of Barry County. The women hope the site in Middleville will be successful enough so that their attentions can be turned to finding a site in Hastings for a second recycling center. "We are committed.” says Mrs. Wietnik of the organization. "Recycling is something for which the time has come. People will begin to see the benefits. “We see the Middleville site as an ex­ pression that people are behind us. Dropping off glasses and cans is something that takes only a few minutes and it’s something that is very beneficial. ' The organization is looking for a site in Hastings that is well-traveled, and con­ venient to the majority of people. The women are confident a location can be found quickly. "We hope to be in Hastings by spring," says Mrs. Wietnik. “We had to put a lot of time into the Middleville site to get it ready, but now we can work on Hastings." The women say the goals of their organization are to encourage recycling, help set up recycling sites and educate the public in the benefits of recycling. All of the work is strictly volunteer and any profits that are made from the recycled glass go toward public education and operating expenses. • The three women met two years ago at an oil recycling program run by the BarryCounty Extension Office. That program was a success and the three women decided to pursue other recycling endeavors. Thus, in January of 1982, Recycling in Barry County <RIBCi was formed. “Because we shared a deep conviction that Barry County needed a more extensive method of resource recovery, we decided to create a recy cling program to include metal and glass,” recalls Mrs. Wietnik. "We have received no financial support from the county but are convinced that residents of Barn- County do indeed want an alternative to landfilling recyclable materials." The Middleville recycling site consists of a huge steel bin for clear, green and brown glasses, and a fenced area containing 10 55gallon barrels for depositing tin cans and aluminum. All glass i'-at is brought to the site must be washed and caps. lids, metal rings or neck bands must be removed. Any tin cans or aluminum materials also must be first washed and labels removed. Metals do not have to be separated before being deposited into the barrels. The Middleville site is actually the second site that RIBC has established this year. The lirst site, in Caledonia, was organized with help from Recycle Unlimited of Kent and Ottawa Counties and other recycling volunteers. That site has been in operation since last spring.

Do you tliink ‘you’re’ the only one. After reading that article. I really took a look at t he people going down the streets. How many of them are out of jobs. I smiled at a man that looked sad. “I wonder what brought about his depression” I asked my thoughts. 1 am out of a job and I’m not qualified for unemployment.

Moreover, even those who came home with their bodies intact have had to resume their interrupted lives scarred with the memories of their nightmare experience and the resentment of those who disapproved of the wars in which they served. However, it is unlikely that anyone ever wanted to go to war, and those who did so acted out of what they considered a duty to their country.

"I’m looking forward to liemg back on the board. I haven’t really lost my interest in county activities since I’ve been off. I’ve continued working unofficially with com missioners and have continued to serve on many of the same boards that I did before I’m looking forward to being more actively involved in everything now." Mrs. Hoare said. Of the new board, she commented. “For the most part. I think the new board will have some of the same goals and needs in mind. “This board will be more in-tune with each other, since I’ve worked with most of them before. I'm sure we'll be able-to meet the many challenges that we'll have to face." said Mrs. Hoare. Michigan Tech fellowship awarded to Hastings woman Sheryl S. Marlor. a graduate student in mechanical engineering and engineering mechanics, has been awarded the $5,000 Michigan Tech Fund Fellowship for 1982-83. She will do her research on experimental stress analysis in engineering mechanics. Mrs. Marlor. the former Sheryl Sorby. is a 1982 graduate in civil engineering from Hastings. The fellowship is awarded annually to graduate students selected from a pool of single nominations from each department on campus.

Many of the ladies have not yet seen the interior after it lias been redone and are looking forward to doing so. Halloween was both lots of fun and fairly free of vandalism and problems in Woodland this year. Except for a few windows needing to have marks washed off of them, no one would have known it was the day after Halloween on Main Street. The Lions held their annual community Halloween party in Herald Classic Memorial Park. About twelve dozen hot dogs were roasted over an open fire and eaten by community residents. Apple cider was served also, and cookies. Costume judging was held at 7:30 p.m. In the infant to four-ycar-old category, first prize was given to Justin Curtis, age 15 months, for his Big Bird costume. He also won the grand prize.

Nov. 11 at noon. Everyone over 60 is welcome. Reservations can be made by calling Shirley Kilmer (Mrs. Galen Kilmer) in Woodland. Possession of a fine antique cluck is a great source of pride and pleasure. Care is a vital aspect of clock collecting. An example is the American-made wooden cased clock. Buying this type of clock without an inkling of know-how about the inner workings can be a complete waste. Even knowing how to place the clock properly can make the difference between a wonting timepiece and a mute decoration. Sometimes, too. a wrong placement can mean destruction of the valuable antique. Lake Odessa News: The Flea Maikel and Bake Sale will be held at the V.F.W. Hall on West Tupper Lake Street on November 8 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Gordon Eldridge, fire chief. Joseph C.

The program at the dinner for the Lakewood district senior citizens, Thursday, was music fiom the Lakewood schools. The next dinner will be Tuesday, Nov. 23, unless rescheduled because of the holiday. If you wish to display the clock on a flat surface, tlial surface must be absolutely level and as stable as possible. I’ should not be subjected to vibration. If the clock's resting place is on a piece of furniture, the piece should be massive; not, for instance, a small occasional table, or stand with drawers which open and close to cause vibration to the clock. The ideal place is a mantel which is not subjected to movement. A wall hanging clock should never be placed on a wall supporting a staircase, as the vibration oF stair traffic ctuld offset lhe balance of the timepiece. Direct wind or breezes from electric fans and open doors can easily stop an open pendulum clock, such as a cuckoo clock. Always mount the open pendulum clock in a wind protected area. Friction is lhe cause of clock stoppage and may. in many instances, cause damage to the wheel pivots and bushings. This is caused by the lack of lubricants. All mechanical clocks must be lubricated with special lubricants in specific places. Do not get spray can happy and shoot WD-40, 3-in-l oil, silicone, etc. haphazardly all over the movement. This will cause more harm than good. Unless you live under "operating-room" conditions, there is always some dust and abrasive elements in your home. These abrasives become stuck to the lubricant sprayed into the gears, embedded into the brass and in turn, makes them into grinding wheels which will grind away the steel pinions. Another harmful "old wives tale" is placing of kerosene or some other solvent into the clock case. The fumes will further deteriorate lhe remaining lubricant. These two methods are particularly harmful when used in American antique clocks. These clocks have very powerful mainsprings that keep the wheels grinding away without any lubricant, tearing up the pinions, pivots, and bushings. Proper cleaning and lubrication is a must. One of the more common errors made by the novice clock “expert”, is to over oil or use the wrong oil for the mechanism. Oiling is an important part of the cleaning process. However, it should be oiled with only a minimum amount of good clock oil. If you don't have a clock oiler, dip a clean toothpick in a drop of clock oil. Shake most of the oil off the toothpick, then touch the lightly oiled toothpick to each of the pins on the mechanism. Poge 5 Una pendulum clock, a very tiny amount of oil can be placed where the crutch rides the pendulum rod. (The crutch is the wire that comes from the escapement to the rod If you cannot gel clock oil. do not substitute Other oils get gummy and pick up dirt, causing damaging wear on important bushings and bearings. Never move the pendulum clock without first anchoring or removing the pendulum bob. Probably the most frequent mechanical imperfection in a clock is a broken or twisted pendulum rod. It is readily replaceable and can be purchased from any dealer in clock materials. This imperfection should not deter the purcliase of the clock, as it seldom has any effect on the clock's basic value. Timing adjustments are probably the least complicated clock corrections for the layman to do. Pendulum escapements are timed by the position of the weight, or bob. on lhe pendulum rod — not the amount of weight. The position of lhe bob is usually adjusted by one of two methods. The first is the raising or lowering of the complete pendulum rod. and lhe second is the ad­ justing of the position of the bob on the rod. In some clocks there is a slide on the suspension spring that slides up or down, which in effect is the same as raising or lowering the complete rod. The adjustments to raise or lower the slide or rod can be through the dial, or by means of an adjusting nut on top of the suspension. The pendulum bobs have a rut. or a slide, with a tightening screw, to enable the raising or lowering of the bob. Remember the saying “lower is slower”, in other words, to make a clock run slower, lower lhe adjustments. To make it run faster, raise the adjustments. Always support the pendulum rod when turning the adjustment nut on the bob. to prevent damage to the suspension. Check the beat after any pendulum adjustments. Watch next week for more.

(Bonner photo) In Barry County, drain commissioners have come and gone with little public notice. 1982 has been the year that changed that. When J. Ray Bratton resigned his seat, his assistant Audrey Burdick was appointed to the post until the general election. She chose to run for the seal. This summer. Democrat Warren Arnold announced that he would also seek the post and the race was on. Tuesday. 15,274 voters cast their ballots and chose Mrs. Burdick. 8.518^.756. "The race went about the way I thought it would." she said. Thursday. "My opponent had been working very hard, he's been out in the field every day knocking on doors and he did get a lol of votes.” She said she was surprised to have won Hastings and Rutland townships, which are headed by Democratic supervisors. Rutland is also Arnold's home township. She said that she didn't believe having a Democratic majority on the board of com­ missioners would make a difference in the operation of the county. "The county officers work as a team and politics doesn't play a part,” she said. Turning her attention to her job. she said that the office has several current projects. Plans are being made for extending and rerouting the Gun River and Parker drains, north of Hastings. Cleanout plans are also being made for the Kaechele Drain in Thornapple Township, she said.

November 4. 1982 Sky high fuel prices make sense of wood heat ARE YOU WASTING MONEY? We'll use red oak as an example. Bed oak produces 14.5 million BTUs of usable heat, per cord, assuming 55 percent heating ef­ ficiency. Next figure out what part of a cord is needed to produce 1 million BTUs of heal. This is done by finding the reciprocal of 14.5 'one divided by 14.5). This equals .069. Finally, divide I he cost per million BTUs of fuel oil <$12,531. by the cord units (.069) needed to produce one million BTUs. This equals approximately $182. So a cord of red oak would have Io cost over S132 before it became more economical to heat with No. 2 fuel oil. The same can be done for other fuels. Natural gas. with about a 70 percent ef­ ficiency. costs about $6.00 per million BTUs. A cord of red oak would have to cost less than $87 to compete with natural gas. by Ken Reibe! Wood, the oldest fuel, has been making a comeback in popularity in Um? past few years, due in part to rising fuel prices and energy shortages. A hundred years ago. most everyone knew the rules of safe, efficient woodburning. Potbelly stoves were as common then as microwave ovens and blenders are today, and flue fires were on everyone’s mind. But with the availability in the late 1800s of coal, and later natural gas. oil and elec­ tricity. the use of wood declined. As a result, generations since have forgotten how to heat with wood. There is much to consider if you are thinking about using wood as a primary, or even a secondary heal source. The type of stove, species of wood and the moisture content of wood can all greatly vary how heat is dissipated in your home. And you also must ask yourself if healing with wood will pay off lor you. Wood heating is not for everyone. Availability of firewood, present fuel costsand the type of chimney your home has must all be taking into consideration before you convert Io wood. The Economics of Wood Heating First, let's compare the cost of wood to other fuels. Heat is measured in British Thermal Units, called BTUs for short. It lakes 10.9 gallons of No. 2 fuel oil to produce 1 million usable BTUs. assuming your furnace is operating at a standard 65 percent ef­ ficiency. At today's price of $1.15 a gallon for fuel oil. it will cost $12.53 to produce 1 million BTUs of heat. Now given that figure, what is a reasonable price for a cord <85 cubic feet) of firewood? That depends on the type of wood, how dry that wood is, and the efficiency of your wood stove. The amount of available heat per cord of wood will vary according to the species of the tree. Generally speaking, the harder the wood, the more usable BTUs of energy will Ik* yielded per cord. A cord of hickory con­ tains approximately 30.6 million BTUs, while oak 27.7 million, and red oak 26.3 million. A soft wood such as white pine, though it may burn hot. is also consumed rapidly in a stove, and will give of only about 17.9 million BTUs. If you would like to know more about heating the home with wood, the Barry County Extension Office has several fine pamphlets full of important informa­ tion. One is “Heating the Home with Wood" published by the University of Minn­ esota Agricultural Extension Service. Cost of the pamphlet is 60 cents.

BTUs per cord are based on 100 percent efficiency. It is very important Io season, or dry. your wood before burning. Effective heal values iirealso infuenced by the amount of moisture in wood, as the available heal produced by green, or wet wood is much less than dry wood. Most seasoned wood is assumed to contain about 20 percent moisture. Wood that is freshly cut may have a moisture content ranging from 50 to 150 percent. The dif­ ference in heat value between seasoned wood and wood with a 50 percent moisture content is approximately 24 percent. Stove efficiency is another important factor to be taken into consideration when making the decison to heat with wood. A standard fireplace rarefy operates at over a ten percent efficiency. A firebox unit, such as a Franklin stove, only offersabout 30 percent efficiency, while an airtight stove can deliver up to 55 percent. Now what is a reasonable price to pay for a cord of firewood? First, pick your firwood. Even if you own a red oak forest, and burn No. 2 fuel oil. there are other considerations to ponder before making the leap into wood burning. Do you have a chimney? What type of shape is it in? Do you have a room, cen­ trally located, large enough to accomodate a wood stove? Do you have an upstairs, and do you want it heated? Check the local building code Io see if there are any regulations pertaining to the use of your chimney. The National Fire .’rotection Association requires a properly lined chimney for the venting of any wood burning appliance. There are also many acceptable insulated metal chimnies on the market. If you have any doubts about anything, check it out with a professional stove installer. If you are one of the lucky individuals with access to free, or cheap wood, then the decision to burn wood instead of oil is an excellent one. You could pay for your stove and installation costs in a year or two with what you save in fuel oil. And even if you have to buy your cords, there is always the satisfaction of sitting back on a snowy winter’s eve and watching the flames dance and flicker around the logs, and filling your senses with the aroma of burning wood. And finally, some long-time woodburners will tell you that you get extra value from wood because it heats three times - once when you cut it. once when you haul it. and once when you burn it.

First the good news - two federal agencies last week blocked a natural gas pipeline company from raising gas rates resulting from the purchase of expensive liquified gas from Algeria. And now the bad news - Customers on the equal monthly payment plan can expect about a 15 percent increase this winter. The primary reason for the gas increase is federal deregulation of natural gas, which allows the price of gas to rise, according to Bill Mabin. Consumers Power spokesman. Faced with curtailments of natural gas supplies in the late 70s, Congress passed a law in 1978 which look the lid off natural gas prices, with the aim of encouraging in­ creased exploration and production. All gas discovered before April, 1977 continued to lie regulated, and all gas discovered after April 1977 was to be deregulated at a gradual pace between passage of law and 1985. All gas discovered below 15,000 is automatically deregulated. "So the new gas discovered since April, 1977 is allowed Io lie sold at a higher price." explains Mabin. Meanwhile, the Federal Energy Com- mission and Energy Department acted together Oct. 28 to suspend the right of the pipeline company to pass on any increase as a result of Algerian natural gas. Consumers had planned Io pass on the rate * increase to customers in November, with a 12 percent increase anticipated. Consumers, with 1.1 million customers in the southern and central part of the Lower Peninsula, was to buy the Algerian natural gas from a subsidiary of the Houston-based Panhandle Eastern Corp. Il was the first time that the two federal agencies had acted together on a natural gas case, and one of the rare limes the com­ mission has blocked a rate hike. Normally, such rate increases are allowed to take effect, subject to refund if they are later proved unjustified. Under Panhandle's request, rales were to have gone up Nov. 1 by 78 cents per 1.000 cubic feel on one of its pipelines, and 28 cents on another pipeline. Eighty percent of the two pipelines' customers are in Michigan. Ohio. Illinois. Indiana and central Missouri. A rate increase is pending for Consumers Powers’ electrical customers. That increase was filed in July of 1981. In May, 1982, the Public Service Com­ mission approved an interim rate increase which would raise the average users bill $2.69 a month, for 500 kilowatt hour con­ sumption. Spokesman Mabin says Con- sumers is expecting the Public Service Commission to make a final order on the increase, but doesn't know when. See Sears 1982 Fall General Catalog for more details.

BROADWAY, HASTINGS �The Hastings Banner. Thursday. November 4. 1982 — Page 10 School board handed first assignment by consultant by Ken Reibei The Hastings Board of Education, under the tutelage of a paid consultant, pul its collective heads and pencils together Monday night to decide what is wanted most from a new school superintendent. Dr. Carl Brautigam. a placement and policy service consultant to the Michigan Association of School Boards, had board members complete a priority rating of selected characteristics and skills they would like to see in a new superintendent It was the first step in a selection process which could take four months to complete. Among the priorities considered by board members were educa'ional requirements, experience, specialized skills and personal characteristics. Board members numbered each characteristic and skill to correspond to the school system’s need. Il is Brautigam's job to compile the numbers and draw a profile of what the new superintendent should be like. Brautigam called the selection process "the most important step a school board can lake.” Among the skills which school board members were asked to evaluate were maintaining educational excellence, finding additional revenue, collective bargaining and maintaining the community's com­ mitment Io the district when progressively fewer citizens have children in school. Brautigam said the hardest part of the selection process could be "convincing the person you want them and getting them to accept your position "Most boards end up wanting somebody who is fairly well employed, has a pretty good job. a pretty good board of education, and is not that interested in moving but lias to see that coming to Hastings is an educational challenge", said Brautigam. Hesel March 1 as the dale for the contract Board member Dick Groos concentrates on a list of skills and traits the board may be seeking in a new superintendent. SlCH'S for the new superintendent to be finalized, and it is expected he or she will assume the office July 1. 1983. The only legal requirement for a superintendent in Michigan is certification as a teacher. The North Central Association of Schools and Colleges requires all superintendents to have a masters degree plus an additional 30 graduate hours Almost all other criteria is determined by the local board of education.

Largest laker weighed in at 12 pounds, two ounces with the smallest at seven pounds, nine ounces. Fish were in close, just outside the mouth of the Galien in 20 feet of water. Sutton spoons trolled on the bottom produced the best catches. Coho were hitting in GO-70 feet of waler in the top 20 feet using ladpollies or hot-n-tots. Largest coho checked in at two pounds. 13 ounces. Also a few steelhead from the same area with the largest al 17 pounds.

Boats out in 120 feet of water were taking coho, few kings and steelhead using spoons, fishing 15-30 feet down. At the Berrien Springs Dam. Lake trout and a few steelhead were hitting mostly on spawn and wobble gio. At Saugatuck. Lake trout running 7-12 pounds were hitting off the pier. Best success lias been on spawn, holy angels and little cleos. Pheasant hunting success continues > n the downward trend, but should pick up as leaves continue to fall. Grouse are con­ centrating in heavier cover. Squirrel conditions have been down but are now beginning to show upas their leaf covers disappears. Bunnies are starling to show up in woody cover as farmers harvest their fields. They should provide more recreation hunting soon. Mild weather lias kept many local ducks in the area. Some flight ducks continue to arrive, however, numbers remain down. Last Canada goose count showed about 24,000 birds in the Allegan Slate Game Area with more arriving daily.

Most of the weeds and grasses are killed and begin to turn brown. Leaves which have already turned colors are weakened by the frost and begin falling off the trees in great numbers. Also most of the insects are killed. Commonly after a frost, the weather turns mild and sunny. This pleasant weather dries up the foliage and bleaches it Io a late, fall brown. Also in this dried condition, the tumble weeds "hit the road." Alter the first killing frost animals begin their winter's sleep. Animals such as grouse and rabbits seek out dense woody cover as the grass cover falls over and is compacted by the weather The frost forces the insect-eating birds to migrate south in search of food. The rest of the plant-eating animals switch to eating nuts, fruits, seeds and buds. During this period of shifting in the environment, many animals are vulnerable to predators and accidents. Also at this time of the year, acorns fall to the ground Acorns from white oaks take two y ears to mature from the time they flower in the first spring to the second autumn when they 'all to the ground. R.*d and black oaks require only one year to mature. �The Banner. Thursday. November4. 1982 Area High School Football results Hastings 22 - Marshall 21OT A fourth down touchdown pass from Steve Conner to Tim Dean in overtime gave Hastings a come-from-behind 22-21 win over Marshall last Friday night. The win gave the Redskins and Saxons identical 4-3 league records. Jackson Nor­ thwest and Coldwater tied for the league title with 6-1 records. “The kids arc really pulling the right strings now.” said Saxon coach Jeff Simp­ son. who called the game the best Hastings has played this season. “You can tell they believe in themselves now. Simpson said he's seen quite a turnaround from his leam since the disapointing loss to Jackson Northwest on October 8. “We've won three in a row since the Jackson Northwest game. We could have folded then but we didn't. We’ve come a long ways back. We've matured as fine young men." Louie Burroughs scored first for Hastings in the second quarter on a one-yard run. The run was the first of three fourth down touch­ downs by Hastings and i! climaxed a 70-yard drive. Hastings scored again after it recovered a fumble at the Marshall 25. Four plays later Steve Conner hit Jim Re pl ogle with a touch­ down pass and Bruce Martin added his second extra point for a 14-0 lead. Marshall climbed back into the game before the half when they scooped up a fumble and rambled 40-yards. That cut the Hastings lead to 14-7 at the half. Hastings fumbled on the first play of the second half and Marshall took the ball Io the Saxon five-yard line where they promptly tied the game. Neither team scored the rest of regulation play. Marshall look possession of the ball in overtime and scored on fourth down on a fake field goal from the eight-yard line Io lead 21-14. The Saxons lost two yards on their first three downs in overtime. But on fourth down Conner found Dean in the end zune for a touchdown. Hastings then won the game when Conner found Dean again for the twopointer. Statistically, Conner had his best day passing hitting on seven of nine passes for 58 yards. Hastings rushed for 128 yards with Martin accounting for 91 on 13 carries and Burroughs racking up 62 yards on 21 carries. Defensively. Willie Barry led the Saxons with 17 tackles. Craig Brand and Dan DeDecker had 12 tackles each. Pennfield 20 - Maple Valley 16 A miraculous 33-yard touchdown pass from Newt Callahn to Scott Grimes with no time left gave Pennfield a thrilling 20-16 win over Maple Valley. The win gave Pennfield the first Southern Michigan Athletic Conference cham­ pionship. Maple Valley coach Dan Watson said he couldn’t believe the last frantic Pennfield play. "Even when he (crimes) went across the goal line I didn’t believe it. Il was a fantastic throw and catch by two super athletes. There was no defensive breakdown, it was just a great offensive play." Pennfield had taken possession of the ball at it’s own 19-yard line after a Lion fumble with 1:31 left in the game. After a quarterback sack and an in­ complete pass. Callahan hit Chuck Donnell with a 15-yard completion with only 44 seconds left. Callahan then hit Grimes with two passes that tcok the ball to the Maple Valley 43 with 27 seconds left. After a pair of incomplete passes, Callahan scrambled out of bounds at the 45 with 11 seconds left. Callahan had toscramble again on the next play this time at the Lion 33 with three seconds left. With Pennfield coach Dave Hudson yelling for him to throw the ball outof-bounds. Callahan instead heaved the ball downfield to Grimes, who jumped and caught the ball at the one and then fell into the end zone. The Lions had led 7-0 in the first quarter on a three-yard run by Tony Reid. The senior running back had another outstanding game as he rushed for 121 yards on 35 carries. Pennfield's Don Richman then scored two straight touchdowns on short runs for a 14-7 halflime lead. The see-aw game continued when the Lions’ Marty Martin returned the second half kickoff 86 yards for a touchdown. The two-point conversion failed and Pennfield hung precariously to a 14-13 lead. Everett put Maple Valley ahead on it’s next possession when he kicked a 21-yard field goal. But the Lions couldn't could the lead as unbeaten Pennfield drove down the field for it’s last second, title winning touchdown.

(Photo by Steve Jacobs) Jr. High teams finish second Both the Hastings seventh and eighth grade basketball teams finished second in their own recent cage tournaments. The seventh graders lost to Delton 23-13 in the championship game. Heather Pruca scored eight points to lead the Saxons. Laurie Kensington and Tracy Heath each scored two and Kelly Schneider one. The eighth graders also lost 22-12. Angie Meyers scored six points, Susan Strong four and Kim Michael two for Hastings. The seventh graders finish with a 5-5 record while the eighth graders finish at 4-6. Middleville's Jim Schipper was a one-man wrecking crew in the game. The senior quarterback ran for two touchdowns and passed for two others as the Trojans smashed Byron Center 30-6. The Trojans upped their record to 4-4 overall and 3-4 in the OK-Blue League with the win. Byron Center, which could not survive six turnovers, also falls to 4-4 and 3-4. Middleville fumbled the ball at their own 33-yard line to open the game. Five plays later Byron Center’s Jamie Brown scored on an 11-yard run for an early 6-0 lead, and it looked like a repeat of several earlier mistake-filled games by the Trojans. But Schipper brought the Trojans back. On the ’eam's next possession heclirriaxed a 50yard drive with a five-yard touchdown run. He also ran for the two-point conversion for an 8-6 lead. Thornapple-Kellogg scored again with less than a minute left in the first half on a fourth down 40-yard pass from Schipper to Jim Heffner. The two-point conversion gave Middleville a 14-6 halflime lead. Middleville forced Byron Center to punt on it’s first possession of the secon 1 half. The Trojans then proceeded to take the ball 41 yards on six plays. Schipper scored from the six and Dave Van Sickle ran for the twopointer for a 22-6 Trojan lead. Schipper completed his end of the scoring in the fourth quarter with a 64-yard touch­ down bomb to Rob Pickard. Scott Nofke and Nate Briggs tackled Byron Center’s quarterback in the end zone for a safety for Middleville’s final points. Statis ically, Middleville rushed for 217 yards. Van Sickle wound up with 72 yards on 12 carries while Schipper carried the ball 10 limes for 46 yards. Schipper completed six of 15 passes for 121 yards. Defensively, Byron Center was limited to 143 yards on the ground and 51 more in the air.

Panther coach Fred Pessell said the Words for the Y’s By David Storms, Y-Youth Council Director Dan Thomas (22) is dragged down by a Fremont tackler, lakewood lost the (Banner photo) game 30-6 and is now 0-8 for the season. Rams, who won the league title with the win, are "a real fine football leam. We had some breakdowns, but they come off the football better than anybody we’ve played this year."

The Rams added a pair of touchdowns through the air on passes from Jim Joiner to Tim Bom for one and three yards. Rusty Carroll scored the only points for Delton on a four-yard run.

The state playoffs will be held throughout November for a number of lucky teams, but no area squads will be among those included. The five local teams will end their respective seasons this Friday. This week’s action is highlighted by the Barry County clash of Delton al Hastings. Both Hastings coach Jeff Simpson and Delton coach Fred Pessell say the records of the two teams can be tossed out the window. "It's a big rivalry. There’ll be a lot of enthusiasm." notes Simpson of the contest. "Delton has some good athletes, and we haven't blown anybody out this year. Pessell agrees the game should be close. “It's kind of a fun game for us, a real challenge. It’ll be all we can do to win," says Pessell. Hastings is 5-3 overall They finished in third place in the Twin Valley with a 4-3 mark. The Saxons have won three straight games and have made the big offensive play at the right time during that streak. Simpson says that is a reflection of the character of his team. "You can tell by the way the kids are playing that they believe in themselves," says the first-year varsity coach. “We've come a long way back after our last loss and the kids have matured into fine young men." Delton had a modest two-game winning streak snapped last Friday against Galesburg-Augusta. The Panthers are 3-5 Lakewood’s Charles Coon scored on a three-yard run in between the Fremont touchdowns. Fremont broke thegameopen in the fourth quarter with two more scores The first was by DeMars on a 16-yard yaunt and Jeff Vesscher went over from the two for the second touchdown. “We played well offensively," said Lakewood coach Tim Wood of the game. "It was the first time all year we had a back go over a hundred yards rushing." That runner was Coon, who rushed for an even 100 yards on 15 carries. As a team, however. Lakewood rushed for only 123 yards. Lakewood also had 68 yards through the air as they completed eight of 16 passes. Lakewood put together tWo good offensive drives in the second half, but both times Ukewood was found guilty of holding penalties and the drives were halted. Defensively, Wood said his leam didn’t look all that bad despite giving up 30 points. Wood singled out defensive back Doug Curtis and linebacker Bart Weslow for their work. “I thought we looked pretty good except for those four (the touchdowns) plays." he said. Lakewood’s record drops to 0-8 overall and 0-6 in the league. Fremont jumps to 3-5 and 24.

Lakewood (0-8) is at Ionia, Potterville plays Maple Valley (62) and Wayland travels to Middleville >4-4). Lakewood, a 30-6 loser to Fremont, will be trying to put it together against Ionia, a winner in five of eight games this season. "They're a power team with two tight ends and a power I backfield." says Lakewood coach Tim Wood of Ionia. Maple Valley will be trying to rebound from a crushing 20-16 loss at Pennfield. A last-second touchdown which cost Maple Valley the SMAA championship. Lion coach Dan Watson said it just wasn't a game his team was destined to win. "Their coach i Dave Hudson) came over to me after the game and said. ’You deserve to win'." said Watson. "We had 41 offensive plays to their 12. We dominated the game except for their last drive. "For whatever reason. I guess we just weren't supposeci to win this game." Middleville, avoiding the offensive mistakes that cost them games earlier in the year, is playing good football right now. The Trojans are coming off impressive wins over Byron Center. 30-6, and Comstock Park. 2419 proceeded to foul out at that point and was quickly followed by Kelly Mogg. Twenty seconds later Paula Atkinson was banished to the bench with five fouls. And then with 42 seconds to go Lori Teunessen became the fourth starter to be lost via fouls. Despite the rash of fouls, the Saxons managed to hang on for the four-point win. "1 felt Tammy Conner's excellent defense and my strong bench saved the day in the last two minutes,” said Hastings coach Pat Purgiel. Hastings trailed 22-21 at the half, but ex­ cellent shooting and rebounding by Teresa Maurer and Atkinson brought the Saxons back into the game. Hastings outscored Sturgis 18-7 in the third period. Maurer finished with 16 points to lead Hastings. Atkinson added 11 and Teunessen 10 for the Saxons. Mogg, the team's leading scorer, was held to eight points. Atkinson lead the rebounders with 12. Hastings is now 10-2 overall and is 8-2 in the Twin Valley. Sturgis falls to 12-3. The Saxons have a key game with Marshall on November 4.

"From a team standpoint, it was not a successful year," he says. "But the kids showed improvement in their ti nes, and that's a plus. "Most of the kids on both the boys and girls teams are sophomores and juniors. That should serve us better in the future."

He said that he shot a man," said Mr. Clothier. T o contradict I he prosecut ion’s charge tha t the defendant s actions were premeditated, thus constituting first-degree murder, the defense presented e psychiatrist, Dr. Clarence Schrier of Kalamazoo. ? Dr. Schrier, who examined Clothier August 28, described him as having "strong traits of an anti-social personality disorder". J He added "This condition is not considered < mental illness." by Ken Reibel A Barry County Circuit Court jury will resume deliberations Friday morning in the case of Nolan Leonard Clothier, the 17-yearold Lacey Rd. resident arrested May 28 for the shotgun slaying of 23-year-old Jerry Lee Cole of Dowling. Assistant Prosecutor Dale Crowley is seeking a conviction for first-degree murder. Defense attorney Dave Tripp claims his client acted in self defense. In three days of testimony, beginning Monday, witnesses for both sides described how Clothier shot Cole twice following an altercation between the two at the Marvin Warren residence. 5919 Lacey Rd. Clothier, who lived with his parents a! 5865 Lacey Rd., went to Warren’s house to help him cut weeds about 1 p.m. on Friday, the day of the shooting. Testimony revealed how, as the afternoon wore on, more individuals came by with beer, and some with marijuana, and a party ensued. Witnesses, including Clothier, said Cole went to the Warren home about 5 p.m. Af­ terwards, an argument broke out between Clothier and Cole, in which Cole accused the defendant of breaking into the home of Cole's sister. Clothier told the jury that Cole threatened him, then struck him twice in the head, knocking him against a truck. The defendant then went heme and got a 12-gauge shotgun, and went back to Warren's, where he was met in the yard by Cole. Clolhi?r said Cole walked across the yard "at a military pace”, holding a shirt between his hands. T was scared he was joing to beat me again," said Clothier. Clothier said he- tried to warn off Cole, but "An anti-social person acts onfv on im­ pulse" answered Dr. Schrier. "1 doubt that many of his acts were planned." The doctor attributed the killing to Clothier's drinking Earlier. Clothier said he had 12 to 15 beers prior to the shooting. The eight man, six woman jury was selected Monday morning. The three-day trial began early Monday afternoon with opening statements from both sides. The prosecution presented its proofs that af­ ternoon. and Tuesday. The defense opened its case Wednesday morning, and rested that afternoon. Following closing arguments, the jury retired for deliberations about 3:20 p.m Judge Robinson ordered recess at 5 p.m. after no verdict had been reached, and or­ dered deliberations resume Friday morning The court building is closed Thursday due to Veteran's Day. , “He was crying, shaking, very upset. He said he had shot a man.” Karl Clothier, Nolan Clothier’s father. Dr. Schrier said Cothier's drinking problem contributed to his violent temper. "Nolan loses any control he does have wnen he drinks... Drinking lowers every ability he does have." An objection was raised by the prosecution when the defense asked Dr. Schrier if the defendant intended to kill Cole when he went home for the shotgun. At that point, Judge Richard Robinson dismissed the jury and ordered a hurt recess while attorneys consulted case law to determine if such a question could be an­ swered. The verdict: it could. After the jury was c.'Hed back. Dr. Schrier answered that, though it was possible that Clothier intended to kill Cole, it was unlikely.

Accompanying the 17-year-old murder defen­ dant is Gerald Leudicklng of the Barry County Sheriff Department. the man kept coming at him. At a distance of 12^1015 feel, Ciolhier opened fire, hitting Cole in the left thigh. A second shot was fired s moment later which hit the deceased across the chest from the left side. Dr. Bader Cassin. who performed the autopsy on Cole, said only four pellets en­ tered Cole's chest - three entered a lung, and one pierced the right side of the heart. Death, said Cassin. occurred within five to ten minutes due to "acute hemmoragic shock". He said tha: approximately four quarts of Hood were drawn from Cole’s chest cavity during the autopsy. Under cress examination by the defense. Dr. Cassin said he also observed abrasions on the inside of Cole’s right leg, and on the back of his left hand. He said this could have been caused by striking "something or someone ". The defendant’s parents, Karl and Carol Clothier.,told the court Wednesday morning that their son has always had problems with his temper. As they spoke, the shotgun used tn kill Cole sat in front of the witness chair, leaning against the prosector's table. They described how Nolan often fought with his older brother, who picked on Nolan. "Sometimes he would get mad and punch the walls," said Mr. Clothier. Mr. Clothier said that he had been keeping a loaded shotgun in the house to ward off animals that had been attacking some dogs he keeps. Karl Clothier said he and his wife took Nolan to the Battle Creek sanitarium "possibly last winter" for help in coping with his temper. Under cross examination, and later from Nolan's testimony, it turned out tha! stay, which last four weeks, occurred in October of 1980, when Nolan was 15 years old. It was also revealed through cross examination by the prosecution thai Nolan had a history of drinking problems, and that that was part of the reason for Nolan’s treatment. Both Mr. and Mrs. Clothier said Nolan was It’s back to court again for Hickory phone subscribers By Elaine Gilbert Remember those spunky Hickory Corners residents who gained national attention in 1975 when they vigorously opposed a 54 percent rate hike in telephone service? The fight is still on and they’ll be back in court on Tuesday. This time they are hoping Ingham County Circuit Court Judge J?mes T. Kallman will order the Hickory Telephone Company to start paying refunds subscribers say they should receive, according to Dorothy Kettle, a member of the group that has been spearheading the fight against phone rates. The battle started when the Michigan Public Service Commission authorized the Hickory Telephone Co. to increase basic rates from $10.60 to $16.35 in 1975. Many subscribers had their phone service disconnected to protest the rates. However, the subscribers and their at­ torney Phillip Hummer were successful in persuading the MPSC to lower the rate hike to $13.25 in 1977. Since then, no refunds for the S3.10 difference per month between the higner rate and the revised rate have been paid to subscribers, Mrs. Kettle said. She also contends interest on the refund amounts should be received. Mrs. Kettle said she and other subscribers are hopeful that they will win the refund round of their battlewhen they appear before Judge Kallman at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday on the second floor of the city hall in Lansing. Attorney Hummer, who now has a law practice in New York, will be flying to Lansing for the court appearance, Mrs. Kettle said. "It's been about two years since anything has happened." she said.

No„mbar 11982 Hastings city charter changes will be upcoming council topic bj Elaine Gilbert The Hastings City Charier needs to be revised, according to recommendations from the city attorney’s office. Mayor Kenneth Howe told the city council, Monday, that he had asked City Attorney Richard Snaw to examine the advisability of revising the city charter and to outline the necessary steps that would he required if the council should decide that a revision is needed. The council is expected to discuss the mailer al its November 22 meeting. "Half of the city charter is antiquated because state laws have pre-empted it," Howe tokl the council Monday. The present city charter was put into effect in 1955, and although it has been ammended a number of times it is super ceded in part by various changes in slate and federal laws and cour’ decisions, said Assistant City Attorney Larry Ainslie in a letter to council members. In recommending tne revision, Ainslie noted that “lhe elimination of the municipal court and the changes in the status of the membership of the county board of super­ visors (now the county board of com­ missioners) negates certain of the provisions in the city charter ci no effect. “Further the expansion of the role of city government over the succeeding years saLes questions as to the advisability of the organizational structure of the city govern­ ment," he said. The city attorney's office, in a memorandum, has recommended that the city council consider submitting the question of charter revision to the voters of the city and at the same election, elect a ninemember charier commission. By placing both proposals on the same ballot, overall costs would be reduced, in the event that charter revision receives a green light, Ainslie said.* The recommendation also said, "advisory questions on relevant issues should be submitted to the electorate in ol der to supply guidance to the elected members of the charter commission. Ithas been suggested by the city attorney’s office that the council should consider payment of a reasonab’e per diem allowance to those who serve on the charter com­ mission to make it "attractive to all segments of the electorate." Ainslie explained that under state law, the question of whether to revise the city charter can be placed on the ballot by a vote of threefifths of the council (five affirmative votes) or by initiatory petition bearing signatures of five percent of the city's registered voters. If voters approve revising the charter, then after the elected charter commission finishes its work, the proposed revised charter must be submitted to the governor for approval prior to final approval by electors. A revised charter can be submitted to voters up to three times, if it does not gain approval oi the first attempts. If a revised charter is not approved, lhe charter commission must disband, Ainslie said. He also noted that there is a three-year time limit for the commission to do its work The city clerk would serve as the clerk of the charier commission, but no other city employees or officers can be part of the commission, according to law, he said. Bliss and Manufacturing both return to bargaining Union and company representatives at the two major employers in Hastings have returned to lhe bargaining table after failing to reach settlements in earlier rounds. Bargainers for UAW Local 414 and E.W. Bliss Co. were at the table Wednesday morning and have set another round ten­ tatively for Monday. Herman Bottcher, acting industrial relations director for Bliss, would not comment on the progress of the negotiations. The two sides first met in August and have been working under a day-to-day contract extension since early October. James Norway, Local 414 president, could not be reached for comment. The umon has approximately 120 working members. Officials from UAW International Region ID joined Wednesday's negotiations. Wednesday afternoon and evening, UAW Local 138 and Hastings Manufacturing representatives re-opened their talks, which had broken off in early October. Dennis Witham, industrial relations director, said Thursday that no more meetings have been scheduled, but he was anticipating a counter proposal from lhe union. Evelyn Curtis, union president, said that the union had not had time to study the company’s final offer and did not yet know whether it would respond. Negotiations at Hastings Manufacturing Co. opened in September after lhe company told the union it was studying the relocation of 150 jobs in its filter division. Thursday, Witham said that the relocation was still being studied and could affect 250 jobs. Wednesday's meeting was called by the company. Local 138 was operating Wednesday without the services of chief negotiator David Turnes, who is a patient at Blodget Hospital in Grand Rapids. Turnes is to be operated on for lymph gland problem, Curtis said Replacing him at the bargain table is Jim Hause, alternate chief steward. The contract at Hastings Manufacturing does not expire until Feb. 1. The union has 54 members in its office-clerical unit and 350 in the production maintenance unit.

During the past couple of weeks the Michigan Farmers Union along with the National Farmers Union has carried out a petition drive aimed at delivering several thousand dairy farmer signatures to Agriculture Secretary Block, asking that the proposed milk tax be postponed until such time in 1983 that Congress can write a new dairy bill. Milk tax protested To the Editor. I just finished reading ‘Handwritings on the Wall'. Produce less milk or else: None of the options outlined should be acceptable either to dairy farmers themselves or to society in general. Option one of cutting production volun­ tarily is no real option; voluntary simply doesn't work with family farm agriculture for various logical reasons. Option two, the inteded Dec. 1 ap­ propriation from the farmers milk check is nothing more than a tax on food production, something probably never attempted by any government before. it is not only a reprehensible action during a period of severe farm depression, it will not reduce the production of milk.- It is a simple fact that farmers produce more when income goes down.

The driver Farmers Union is asking for a completely different set of options. It is asking for a dairy program that would include per farm production adjustments as the means of controlling overproduction. The program should establish price sup­ ports at a profitable level and should be designed and administered in a manner that would .not benefit or encourage excessive growth in farm operations. Farmers Union is calling upon the Secretary of Agriculture to sell government held dairy products to foreign buyers at world market prices. While condmning the accumulation of surplus dairy products, the administration has repeatedly refused to sell these products on the world market. Farmers Union is also calling for controls on imports of foreign subsidized dairy products that are not needed and drive up the cost of our dairy programs, and for establishing a mercy food program that would distribute more of the surplus dairy products both at home and abroad.

I would receive the response. ‘I’ve never heard of it, along with ac­ companying questions. The response of late has changed however. Now, those in question respond, ’Oh Yeah, that’s where the school district is having trouble, right?!’ Shaming!y I have to answer and confirm the assessed statement. Being a teacher in a school system funded by local monies alone, I am at loss when I try to fathom a situation such as Hastings! Before I graduated from Hope College. I presented the Hastings District’s scenario to a panel of superintendents. At one point, one man stood to leave in avoidance of the facts. He later told me that he wanted nothing to do with that severe of a situation. In my eyes, the blame for the current situation can be placed on many shoulders however, I think community members should handle much of the responsibility. The people as a whole need to find the pride they once knew. Hastings PtAlic Schools used to be one of the finest systems around, so let’s make this the time to give of our­ selves and our funds to redevelop a once top­ notched school system. This may mean devoting oersonal time oi voting yes on a milage passing, but it’s time for it all to happen. Be a part of the few, the giving, the PROUD!!

Pam Englerth •'The elections went about as well as could be expected,” says Ray Karrar of Hastings. "A 'ot of the voters thought that Republican politics weren’t quite right, but I don’t think (the Democratic wins) will effect Reagan’s policies that much. Not for a couple of years anyway.” “I was kind of surprised that we elected a Democratic governor...we ll have to see how that works out.” "As far as the election results are con­ cerned, I figured that they were going to turn exactly the way they did." says Clarence Coy of Hastings. "As far as changing the so-called Reaganomics, 1 think (the landslide) will alter that to some degree, but the Congress and the Senate will have to take things in hand and go along with some of the cuts in spending . The money management so far has been ‘spend, spend, spend', and 1 think Alien Bazzy it's time for a total revolt on the taxpayers part to tell these people we've had enough." "I'm not so sure it makes any difference which party the people belong to," says Jim Hund, of Hastings, “as long as they advocate common sense solutions to problems, and do things that will really have an impact on the country in the long run.” "The elections didn't turn out as I wanted, but they did turn out as I expected," says Hund. "I think a lot of people were voting for people who would like io see a quick fix for our economy, even though it’s not going to happen.” "I was hoping the Democrats would do better in the Senate," says Richard Brown, of Delton. He says he doesn't think that Reagan's policies will be altered much by the influx of Democrats into the House. Olith Ham ikon, of Nashville, thinks that Reagan may influence some of the first-term Dorothy Hooker congressmen. Hamilton says she isn't too happy with the Democratic victories, ex­ plaining "I live in Barry County.” “I'm not completely happy with Reagan’s policies," says Pam Englerth of Hastings. “I think that he means well, but something different has tobedone. Maybe it will have to >ie a compromise between his and someone else’s ideas.” "1 guess the elections results are alright, for now." says Allen Bazzy, of Hastings. "But I'm not really into (the elections) that much, to tell you the truth.” "1 don't see it as a real Democratic land­ slide," says Dorothy Hooker, of Hastings. "I think people more or less voted for the people that they wanted, and not along party lines. "I don’t see Reagan seeing the election as a mandate, and I don't see the other side seeing it as a mandate.” �The Hastings Banner, Thursday.

The jobless rate in Barry County dipped by two-tenths of one pe-cent in September, from August’s rate of 16.7 percent, according to figures released by the Michigan Unem­ ployment Security Commission. In September 1981 the unemployment rate stood at 9.1 percent. The September 1982 rate for both Barry and Calhoun counties is 16.1 percent, up from the August rate of 15.5 percent. According to MESC figures, there were 17,100 persons employed in Barry County in September, and 3,375 jobless.

The latter figure was released a few days after the November election. September's figures brought a new post­ depression phenomenon to Michigan - 30 percent area unemployment. That figure was seen in Marquette and Ontanogan. Barry County’s unemployment percentage rate for the past six months is as follows: April, 16.6; May, 14.5; June, 162; July, 17.4; August, 16.7, and September, 16.5.

Nonetheless, however valid our reasons for doing this, it is always a terrible mistake; for aside from its being dishonest, it is nearly impossible to sustain this illusion for very long. Moreover, even if we could, it would lead us down some paths that we woula surely regret later on when the truth begins to surface, as it always does eventually; and we must then pay a high price for our deception. The lessons of faith teach us to be honest about ourselves at all times; and that the job,, friend, date, club membership or whatever that we cannot obtain by being truthful is not worth having. So follow your faith, attend your House of Worship and above all, be yourself. You will even like yourself better, just as you are.

Hummell says that repairs .Turn such collisions can cost anywhere from $200 to $1,000. "You see a lot of damage to the grill, the hood, the front fenders, sometimes a windshield," he says. If you hit a deer... If you hit and kill a deer with your rar, and would like to take the animal home with you, a deer kill permit is required from the locai law enforcement agency. Police usually will issue that permit, however, under some circumstances, they won’t. For one thing, an individual can only secur> one permit per accident. If two deer are killed in one collision, the driver can onlyclaim one. Some individuals may destroy an injured animal by shooting it at the scene of the accident, which may lead the officer to believe the deer was coached. In that case a permit may not be issued. Many police officers tell stories of deer supposedly killed that suddenly spring to life and bound away from the accident scene. Gerald Leudicking of the Barry County Sheriff Dept, says that once a man brought a deer which he had hit to the Sheriff Depart­ ment for a permit. The deer was under a camper shell in the back of the man’s pick up truck. Leudicking said he opened the back of the truck, and the deer suddenly leaped out the back. “It knocked me flat on my behind," says leudicking. The Sheriff Department is reluctant to set any hard rules for what to do and what not to do if you do hit a deer. “Most people handie it in an acceptable manner...whatever best suits the situation, and is reasonable, is acceptable,’’ says Barry County Sheriff Dave Woods. OIL PRODUCERS Prototypes Tools - Dies - Fixtures Complete Front End Alignment Tires and Batteries by Ken Reibel November is the month for motorists, as well as hunters, to be on the lookout for deer. According to Barry County Undersheriff Jim Oor, his department handled about 100 car-deer accidents last November. Sheriff Department logs showed eight such reports Sunday, and a total of 38 in the first week of this month. Oor says that with deer mating season here, bucks and does have a tendency to abandon their normally skiddish nature and run into roads, sometimes smack into cars. And the situation will get worse when deer season opens Nov. 15, and the animals have something else io run about. But despite the unpredictable nature of the beasts, Oor feels that many car-deer mishaps could be avoided “if only motorists knew what to look out for.’’ He says many times a driver can detect a gleam along the side of the road - the reflection of headlights off a deer’s eyes. He says that when a motorist sees that gleam, he or she should slow down. Also, motorists should keep in mind that often times deer travel together. “Just because one deer is safely across the road doesn’t mean there’s no more," says Ocr. However, Oor concedes that many of the mishaps are unavoidable, and just a fact of life in Barry County, especially during November. Trooper Al McCrumb of the Hastings State Police Past agrees that many car-deer mishaps are unavoidable. McCrumb advises drivers to “slow down and take evasive action*' anytime they spot a deer next to the road. "Deer aren't afraid of cars, and will run right in front of one,” notes McCrumb. McCrumb says the heaviest concentration of deer next-to a road in Barry County is on W. State Rd. near Irving Rd. He says that for a couple weeks in November of las’ year, while driving home from the night shift, he had to stop every night for deer in the road. “Even while we were on patrol, it seemed like ?very night we had to beep our horn to clear the road,” says McCrumb. 0-21 Fennessy Drive SERVING ALL OF SOUTHERN MICHIGAN Loyal’s Safety Service Occasionally a deer will come crashing through a windshield, ond end up in the driver s lop.

Ray and Alma Faul left Woodland near the end of October for Englewood, Fla., where they plan to stay until after Christmas, and perhaps all winter. The October March to Sunday School Contest held at Kilpatrick Church was won by Mikey Piper. Mikey was awarded a $5C gift certificate. Because Mandy Miller brought almost as many guests as Mikey and no one Ise was anywhere nearly as high, a special unplanned prize of $25 was given to her. The evangelistic meetings that followed the end of the contest were well attended. Rev. George Speas reports that the children especially enjoyed the services conducted by Muri Eastman, and the younger the children, the more they seemed to enjoy "Dennis, the Dummy". He said that some of the three- and four-year-olds engaged the dummy in conversations during the services. Wit: Reminder Ad No. 796 P.O.

The only points of the game were scored in the fourth quarter on a five-yard run by Louie Burroughs. Even though the weather was an obvious factor, the two coaches, Jeff Simpson of Hastings and Fred Pessell of Delton, had different ideas of how the conditions affected their teams. I thought the snow had the same effect on both teams," said Pessell. "We both run the same type of offense. 1 think the snow helped to balance each other out." Simpson thought his running backs were especially hampered by the poor playing conditions. "We slipped all night," Simpsnn pointed out. "1 think the snow had more of an effect on us because we have the quicker backs. It was an equalizer." The fh'e-yard scoring run by Burroughs came with four minutes left in the ballgame. It climaxed a 65-yard drive by Hastings which twice was kept alive with big plays. The first of those plays came on a third and seven as Saxon quarterback Steve Conner hit Tim Dean with a first down pass. On another play Bruce Martin slid off tackle for a key 21-yard pickup to keep the drive alive. There could have been more points scored in the game, but both teams failed to take advantage of scoring opportunities. Hastings lost the ball twice at the Delton 13-yard line, once on downs and once by fumble. Delton drove to the Hastings six-yard line before the half, but a pair of 15-yard penalties set them back. Hastings had two fumbles in the game, while Delton threw two interceptions and fumbled once. In addition, the two teams combined for 95 yards in penalties. Despite the weather conditions and mistakes, both teams were able to rush the hall. Hastings had 136 yards on the ground while Delton had 144. Individually. Delton's Rusty Carroll had 26 carries for 110 yards. Bruce Martin led Hastings with 111 yards on 24 attempts. Through the air Hastings completed five of nine passes for 58 yards. Delton was two of 17 for 18 yards. Delton finishes with a 3-6 record while Hastings closes at 6-3 with the win. Middleville 8 ■ Wayland 6 Middleville's football team survived nine turnovers against Wayland but still came out an 8-6 winner. It took a two-yard touchdown run by Thornapple-Kellogg's Jim Schipper and a two-point conversion run by Tom Barry with four minutes left to overcome a 6-0 Wayland lead and give the Trojans the win. "I didn't think we played bad. I thought we dominated them except for one play,” said Trojan coach Ray Page of the game. Page noted his team punted only twice as compared to six for Wayland. The Trojans had 269 total yards their 171 yards. Wayland's only score was a 91-yard pass from Tim Omnbus to John Hart that gave Wayland a 6-0 lead in the third quarter. Page said the cold and snowy conditions of the game led to their nine turnovers. "The turnovers affected us. But the problem was our receivers were slipping and runners were fumbling," said Page "Anytime you have nine turnovers you're lucky to win. Page singled out running back Dave VanSickle, who gained 81 yards on 20 carries on offense, and defensive stickouts Ed Wilson and Scott Deifaio for their play. Middleville finishes with a 5-4 record. Maple Valley 46 ■ Potterville 24 Despite a slow start, Maple Valley’s football team closed out it’s season with a 4624 victory over winless Potterville. The win left Maple Valley with a 7-2 record. The Lions set a number of new school and individual football records during the season.. “I thought we started slow," said Lion coach Dan Watson of the game, “but then we've done that the last five weeks." Maple Valley senior end Tony Dunkelburger caught four touchdown passes against the Vikings of 11,19, 26 and 36 yards. For the season he finished with 38 catches for 549 yards and eight touchdowns-all school records. The other Lion scores came on a seven­ yard run by Tony Reid, a 29-yard run by Marty Martin and a one-yard run by Randy Joostberns. Joostbems also threw three of the touchdown passes. Scott Everett threw the fourth scoring strike. Statistically, Maple Valley rushed for 234 yards. Reid had 75 of those yards and finished the year with 1,014 yards and nine touchdowns on 166 carries. The Lions passed 19 times completing 10 for 169 yards. Potterville was held to 18 yards passing and 141 on the ground. The season-ending contest between Hastings and Delton last week was played in temperatures in the 30s and snow. Both teams did its share of slipping and slidding, but no cases of frostbite were recorded. Wes Wood led the Maple Valley defense with 10 tackles including four quarterback sacks. Watson said he was very pleased with the 1982 season, despite finishing second in the new Southern Michigan Athletic Conference. "I thought we had a great season.. Js such a great bunch of people to work with it makes coaching very enjoyable,” said Watson. “I’m very disapointed about the Pennfield game of course, bui we’re looking forward to playing Fowler (Mapie Valley's other loss) and Pennfield again next year.” Saxon eagers hit skids with pair of losses The Hastings girls basketball team fell on hard times last week as they lost to Marshall 50-42, and Coldwater 53-45. The two losses eliminates the girls from the Twin Valley title race. Marshall currently leads the league with an 11-1 record while the Saxons fall to 8-4 with two games left. The reason for the eight-point loss to Coldwater was no secret to Hastings coach Pat Purgiel. “Poor rebounding and a 25 per cent (16 of 65) field goal percentage told the story," said Purgiel. Hastings led 11-8 after one period, but Coldwater rallied to take a 27-25 lead at the half. Hastings couldn't climb back into the game in the final two periods as they were outscored 16-13 and 10-7 in the final two stanzas. Kelly Mogg led the Saxons with 20 points Pettengil were three of the team's top players. The seventh grade team also started slow losing it’s first two. The seventh graders turned their season around also winning four in a row. Tricia Henry, Ann Hayward, and Anna Liciega were three of the top eighth grade players.

The Saxons scored their touchdowns on a three-yard run by Bruce Hoffman, a Paul Turnes io Scott Klevorn pass and a 30-yard run by Hoffman. Delton scored on a four-yard run and a twoyard run. Hastings finishes the season with an overall 8-1 record. They were 6-1 and in a first place tie with Coldwater in the Twin Valley. “I was real pleased with the season." said Hastings coach Jack Longstreet. "I was impressed with the team’s attitude and the way they played."

Tr an coach Tom G cites said his team didn’t play particularly well in the loss. “We just made too many mistakes," he said. “We missed too many layups." Hamilton outscored Middleville 12-3 in the final period to salt away the win. Thomapple-Kellogg fared better against Kelloggsville. The Trojans had very balanced scoring with Bryans and Sue impressed with the way his team conducted itself all year. "We had a number of voung players playing all season. We started the season with 33 players and we finished with 32,” said Wood. "It was a great group of kids to coach." Wood expects next season to be much better when the experience the team gained this year starts to show. “We'll have a starter back at every position next year,” said Wood. "Even though I don't like to use the expression, it was a rebuilding year. "It was a year when inexperienced people got some experience. I think we rrz.de im­ provements each game. We weren't really blown out in any of the games except Greenville. We were in them all.” and nine rebounds. The loss to Marshall was equally frustrating. The Saxons led 22-21 at the half, but saw the game slip away in the third and fourth quarters. Purgiel said the loss of Paula Atkinson (shealso missed theColdwater game) forced Hastings to make some adjustments. "I felt we played our best with the ad­ justments we had to make," he said. Kelly Mogg again led the scoring with 12 points and nine rebounds. Lori Teunessen added 10 points and Teresa Maurer nine. The Hastings jayvee team beat Coldwater 60-57 in overtime and also beat Marshall 4729. Amy Atkinson scored 30 points against Coldwater and 11 against Marshall. Stacy Owens added 11 in the Coldwater game. The jayvee team now has an 11-1 Twin Valley mark and are 11-3 overall. Delton jr. high eagers end season Delton's seventh and eighth grade girls basketball teams ended their seasons recently with 3-3 and 4-2 records. The eighth grade team lost it's first three games to Wayland, Gull Lake and Comstock.

Scott Humell scored a pair of touchdowns for Ionia on runs of one and three yards. Lakewood coach Tim Wood said he was impressed with the ball-control offense employed by Ionia. The Bulldogs rushed the ball 62 times for 259 yards. “We played good in the first quarter, but after that we didn't get our hands on the ball," said Wood. "We didn’t have a lot of opportunities to do anything." Ionia had only four first downs, 43 rushing yards and another 14 through the air. They were hurt by three interceptions and a fumble. Wood said despite the losing record, he was (Photo by Fred Jacobs) Kaechely each scoring 12 points. Mary Funk scored 11 points and Laurie Hooper chipped in 10. The Trojans jumped oft to a 16-3 first quarter lead and then led from anywhere from 16 to 30 points the rest of the way. Middleville now has an overall record of 89 and are 6-5 and in fourth place in the league. Geltes said his girls could be playing better. "We re in a shooting slump right now," he said “We’re not playing real well. We're passing up shots and not playing real well on defense." Bruce Martin, shown here lunging for yardage, was recently named to the Twin Valley all-league team as a defensive back. (Photo by Fred Jacobi) Mounties dominate Twin Valley team, Saxons place six Hastings had six players named to the recently announced Twin Valley all-league football team. Jackson Northwest, which tied with Coldwater for first place in the league, placed a high of 12 men on the first and second teams announced recently by league coaches. Saxon senior linebacker Dan DeDecker and senior defensive back Bruce Martin were both named to the first-team defensive unit. Senior Willie Barry of Hastings was a second-team linebacker as well as offensive guard selection. Others Saxon players named to the second-team were senior of­ fensive tackle Cris Hough, and junior of­ fensive aid Joel Christensen. Gaining honorable mention for Hastings were senior defensive lineman Craig Brand, junior defensive lineman Larry Hoffman, and junior offensive tackle Dave Gaskill. Jackson Northwest placed backs Todd Parshall and Marty Mosson and tackle Bob Mosson on the first-team offense. The Mounties placed tackle Bob Mosson and linebacker Marty Mosson, end Mark Silvey, back Todd Parshall, and punter Todd Miller on the first-team defense. Other players named to the first-team offense were back Mike Stahley (Cold­ water), guards Greg Katz (Harper Creek) and Jeff Burgoon (Coldwater), tackle Andy Milnes (Coldwater), ends Bob Mayhew (Marshall) and Brian Huffman (Marshall), quarterback Lance Marteen (Coldwater), center Leo Katz (Harper Creek) and kicker Matt Dettman (Sturgis). Named to the first-team defense were lineman Todd Latshaw (Harper Creek) and Dave Anderson (Marshall), linebackers Brian Huffman (Marshall) and Adam Smith (Coldwater), end Mario Casarez (Marshall), and backs Del David (Sturgis) and Ken Goldesby (Albion). Lakewood five sweep Belding, Coopersville Lakewood's girls basketball team beat Belding. 68-34, and CoopersviiJe, 51-43 in it’s latest two games. Lakewood jumped ahead of Belding 33-19 al the half and then cruised the rest of the way. Kristi Seese had 20 points to lead the Vikes. Janet Erickson added 12. Coopersville provided more of a contest. Lakewood had beaten Coopersville 70-25 earlier in the year, but was especially tough on this night. "I guess it was hard for us to get up for them considering how we had beaten them the first time,” said Coppess. “It wasn’t as easy this time.” Coppess wasn’t happy with his team’s rebounding, they only held a 21-19 ad­ vantage, or the fact his girls hit only seven of 15 free throws. Seese led the team with 16 points. Gina Thorp added 11 and Dee Westendorp 10. Lakewood is now 12-6 overall and 7-3 in the league. The Vikings are tied for first with Greenville and Lowell. Lakewood closes it’s season against Cedar Springs and Fremont. "I’d be disapointed if we lost either one of those games," Coppess said.

(Banner photo) �The Hastings Banner, Thursday. November 11, 1982 — Page 9 Deer hunters preparing to take to the woods by Steve Vedder . Deer season might not officially begin until November 15, but if a hunter is on top of things the way he should be, his preparation actually began weeks ago Physical conditioning, pre-season scouting of the hunted area, and a check of equipment are all necessary before the hunter is ac­ tually ready to take to the woods, Brent Willison, Barry County conservation officer, says The first order of business for a hunter, says Willison, is to know every peculiarity of his gun — how it operates, where the safety is, etc. A gun is fitted to the hunter based on his size and hunting experience. The stock of the gun should fit the person with the length of his arm the determining factor. A hunter should also sight his gun in and shoot with the same brand of ammunition If the eights are bumpel, they should be checked again before the gun is fired. Willison says layered clothing is the best way for a hunter to dress. When a hunter is on the move he can peel off a couple of layers, and when he’s perched at his spot in the woods he can add the clothes. It is especially important that the feet and body extremities are kept warm, he says. "A hunter should be warm and com­ fortable but not so bulicy he can’t move around," says Willison, who adds a hunter should practice in the conditions in which he'll hunt. Willison believes pre-season scouting of an area is "probably the most important part of hunting." Willison claims if a hunter knows what deer signs to look for, his chances of bagging a deer are greatly increased. For example, during late Octouer and early November when the rutting season occurs, bucks will scrape a bushel basket­ sized patch of soil with his hooves and then urinate on the spot to form a scent area. If a doe comes upon the spot, she also urinates on it. Over the next few days the buck will revisit the spot, and if the buck scents the doe, he follows her and if he catches her breeding occurs. "If a hunter puts his stand close to the spot that the deer has scraped, the chances are good he'll see a buck,” jays Willison. Willison also points out that hunters should be able to discern active runways — areas where a path has been beaten down bv passing deer. The deer will be active on these runways in the morning hours when they go from feeding to bedding, and in the evening when they go from bedding to feeding he says Another area for hunters to seek deer are spots where deer’s food types are found. Deer are known to feed on crops. Red Maple and Cedar Trees or on woody plants. Willison ooesn't believe most hunters are aware of the signs a deer leaves or what they mean. “I don’t think the hunters pay that much attention to signs. Maybe a track or the rub of a tree, but as far as scrapes and knowing what that means, the hunter probably doesn’t know much about it," he points out. Willison reminds hunters of the ex­ ceptional scenting and hearing capabilities of deer. He says deer are capable of picking up a human's scent downwind at 200 yards. A deer can hear a crackling of a branch 100 yards away. A deer's eyesight ranks only third behind scent and hearing. They have an especially Public Access Stamp Program, The Public Access Stamp Program is designed to permit public access to far­ mlands by hunters paying a $1.00 fee. Anyone hunting in zone three must have a public access stamp. Profits of the program go toadministration of the program and to the landowners. Last year a total of 753 farms and 180,560 acres were involved in the statewide program. In Barry County this year, 31 farms involving 8,864 acres are included in the program. In 1981, $14,690 was payed to the lan­ downers for use of their lands. The complete list of farms in Barry County involved in the Public Access Stamp Program: Laedowwer________ Allerdinq. Jock Bo*.

"A hunter should find three locations (in the woods) and correlate them to the wind direction so that the deer cannot sense him,” says Willison. "If a deer does spot a hunter he’ll probably snort.” Willison believes most hunters know what is expected of them in safety rules. Following those rules, however, might be a different problem, he says. "I think most people are aware of the rules and when they enter the woods they intend on following them,” says Willison. "But in the heat of the hunt sometimes their philosophies might change. As for that situation, I don’t suppose there is a hunter in the field that doesn't feel that way sometimes," he adds. "Most people can control that feeling, but there is a certain percentage that can’t. Those are the people who are caught and penalized.” The one hard and fast rule of hunting is never “sound shoot”. Willison says this is when most hunting accidents occur. When hunting on a farm, a hunter should be aware of where the farmhouse and stock are located. In addition, a hunter should never fire into solid terrain and should always have a shooting lane planned. “If there is any danger to the situation at all, don’t fire,” says Willison. There are specific areas where hunters can legally hunt. They can hunt in statedowned game areas, but must have written permission to hunt on private lands. A permit tag is issued by landowners in­ volved in the Public Access Stamp Program and once the daily quota of hunters is reached, the owner cannot let anyone else on the land. 94FW-239FA 90FW 50FA 143FW-20IFA-7WW I06FW-510FA-60WW 228FA 50FW 23FW-533FA-2WW 233FW-2IFA 17FW-48FA-lOwWW 36FW-17FA-10WW 305FW-588FA-150WW 69FA 6IFW-289FA-20WW 40FW 33FW-77FA-5WW 49FW-109FA-15WW 197FW 351FA-7WW 100FW-307FA 67FW-158FA-25WW 43FW-220FA-I0WW 25FW-139FA-10WW 26FW-80FA-10WW 199FW-206FA-50WW The rules at a glance Season Dates: Firearms, Nov. 15-30 statewide; muzzleloaders, Dec. 3-12, statewide; archery, closes Nov. 14 statewide and reopens Dee 1 until Dec. 15 in the Upper Peninsula and Jan. 1 in the Lower Peninsula.

Barry County conservation officer Brent Willison inspects a small tree that a buck rubbed his antlers against. The small trees are used by the bucks to rub dead skin, or velvet, from their antlers before ti.oy make scrapes.

If hunters find a spot like this one the chances that a buck will return there are good. (Bonner photo) (1) Know Your Gun - Give it a complete safety check, making sure it’s clean and in top shooting order, before you go afield. (2) Know Your Hunting Partner - Pick out a hunting buddy who shares your common sense for always playing it safe and for being a good sport in observing Michigan's hunting rules. It’s not cool to be a hot-shot hunter. (3) Know Your Target - Never draw aim or release that safety until you're absolutely sure that your target is fair game. Help keep yourself from being some other hunter’s "mistake” by wearing bright clothing, such as hunter's orange. Be an in-the-know hunter The points above are aimed specifically at young hunters but, of course, they are also important things for seasoned sportsmen to remember. Youths have already been wounded by serveral small game hunting accidents in northern Michigan this season because they didn't know their weapons or their targets. Those mishaps underscore the need for youths from 12 through 16 to gain more accident-preventing know-how under Michigan's new mandatory program of hunter safety training which has been mobilized statewide by the Department of Natural Resources. Costs of deer hunting aren't cheap From a hat on down to the boots, a deer hunter should be able to equip himself for close to $350. Obviously the most expensive part of deer hunting is the gun. Guns are priced anywhere from $60 to $270 A decent gun can be bought for $200. A warm coat would cost about $34 while a pair of hunting pants would run the hunter close to $32. A pair of boots would cost anywhere from $22 to $52 with an adequate pair going for $30. Among the smaller items a deer hunter would take into the wild would be a knife ($15), longjohns ($10), a license ($10.75 in­ ch) ling stamp), gloves ($5 down), a hotseat ($4-5), sooks ($4) and ammunition (at least $3). Al VanMeter of Al and Pete’s Sport Shop and Dan Bolthouse of True Value Hardware in Hastings say prices for hunting equipment have risen anywhere from eight to 10 per cent over last year. ■’Guns and ammunition have gone up, but the clothing has held the line,” says Van­ Meter. ’We've seen the low range and high range items sell about the same, but the middle range stuff hasn't sold like it has,” notes Bolthouse. VanMeter doesn't believe the economy has affected the number of hunters out this year. "There are more people interested than ever before," he says. “I think people will go deer hunting despite the economy.” Gary Landis models a typical hunting outfit. Prices for hunting equipment have risen anywhere from eight to 10 per cent over the last year. Banner photo Saving that deer for a family meal HUNTERS The Good cleaning and rapid cooling are two “musts” in preparing a freshly-killed deer for the tenderest, tastiest results. Let's suppose you’ve just bagged your first whitetail. What now? Assuming your deer is dead, first put your rifle back on “SAFE” and attach the validation tag to the animal. Cut open the entire body cavity, moving from between the u»nd legs almost to the base of the neck (1). Insert the knife with the cutting edge UP and use your first and second fingers to hold the skin and muscles UP away from the innards. Next, remove the innards, working down from the neck to the tail. Turn the deer belly down and let it drain. Af­ terwards, tie the fore legs between the an­ tlers or beside the head (2) so it will be easier to drag the deer to camp. In camp, prop the carcass open (3) and protect it from sun, rain, and flies in warm weather. If the weather is warmish (above 55 degrees), head for a locker plant or your home freezer. For the trip home, carry the carcass atop your car or across the trunk (4). Many a venison dinner has been overheated and spoiled on the front fender of a car.

Charter, however, will not be servicing any city customers under the 10-year agreement approved Monday night. Charter needs the easement to reach areas in neighboring townships which it has contracted to service. The Hastings City Council approved the easement Monday evening and will charge Charter an annual $200 per mile fee. payable on December 1 of each year. However, the city has waived the fee for the first year. The easement permits Charter “just to go through town, not to service town,” stressed Councilman David Jasperse. After the meeting, Chuck Leonard, vice president of Charter, said he would estimate that his company would probably need to go a distance of five miles through city right-ofways. Both Leonard and Charter President Gary Wilcox said they were pleased with the council's decisioa “We were fearful that the council might nut grant the easement...this is a victory for our com pi ny,” Leonard said. Last month, the council voted against granting a franchise to Charter to serve city residents. Triad CATV, Inc. already has a franchise in the city and had opposed Charter’s applicatioa Charter officials had said that they did not intend to apply for a franchise when they aoproached the city for an easement. "We're happy with the outcome," Wilcox said of the easement. "Now we can start scheduling and planning. We couldn't do that before. Charter has contracts to offer cable service to six townships in Barry County and -he villages of Nashville and Middleville. "We’ve spent three months messing around (trying to get a franchise or easement)," Wilcox said after the meeting, “and this has put our commitments to the townships in jeopardy.” "Our biggest problem is that underground work shuts down November 15...so con­ struction might have to be delayed until spring. Leonard and Wilcox had told the council that there was no possible way for Charter to circumvent the city to provide service to areas in Rutland and Hastings townships that ai e contiguous with the city. In another matter, pertaining to cable TV service, James Gaulooze of 248 E. North St. told the council that he was dissatisfied with Triad. He said that although he lives in the city at Courtyard Apartments, he has been unable to obtain cable TV services from Triad. Gaulooze said Triad just gives him "promises" of service that have not been fulfilled. Triad has “no interest in the small potatoes aspects of their franchise agreement in the remote areas of the city,” Gaulooze told the council. He also said that Triad has eight stations out of 12 that are accessible to at leasi 90 percent of the viewing audience without needing cable. In view of the fact that Triad has no competition in the city, Gaulooze said, “the city council has got to wield the club of ac­ countability.” * Ken Wright of Triad, who was in the audience, disputed Gaulooze's statements. He said Triad is required by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to provide channels like 3, 6, 8, 10, and 41 that are within a 35-mile radius. “Satelite services are secondary in the eyes of the FCC,” Wright said. He also told the council that new aerial construction has been completed and that Triad will now be able to offer cable TV to anyone in the city. He said new potential subscribers, including those in the Courtyard apartments, should be able to be tied into the system beginning next week, on the basis of a first-come, first serve sign-up. The council gave its nod of approval for Mayor Kenneth Howe to sign a five-year fire agreement between the city and the Birch Rural Fire Association which represents the townships of Baltimore, Irving, Rutland, Carlton, and Hastings. The major change in the contract provides for the city to assume a larger share of the fire operating budget. The first year provides for the city io pay 55 percent of the costs and the townships 45 percent. From officials are hoping that persons who have not yet contributed will come through and perhaps those who already have donated will reconsider and give more. Ainslie stresses that95 percent of the funds raised here are applied to local agencies and that any shortfall will be directly reflected in member agencies locally. “The community has come to expect a certain level of service," he said, noting that a shortfall would affect the many youth programs which receive support from the Hastings United Fund. Some of the local agencies already have reported difficulty in obtaining alternate sources of funding so that "makes our campaign all the more important," Ainslie said. He speculated that local unemployment probably is one of the reasons the industrial division has not reached its goal. "We don’t know this for certain,” he added. In Kalamazoo, the United Fund Drive was $50,000 short of its goal until Wednesday when businessman James Gilmore donated that amount to the drive in memory of his late father. RENEWING YOUR CD?

HOUSE OF DEERSKINS EFHutton would need a space equivalent to three or four parking spaces. Pre-holiday shoppers in downtown Hastings will enjoy free parking from December 10 through Christmas, thanks to an early holiday gift granted by the council. The retail division of the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce had requested the free parking and the council gave its ap­ proval to help boost the appeal of downtown shopping to aid the local economy. It was reported that Joe Labozzetta, owner of the former Sport’s Bar, has withdrawn a request to use city property for a parking lot for a new bar fie hoped to open.

Decker was unable to give statistics concerning those that had found jobs. "We’re excited about the Hastings school system providing us with the job school,” Decker said. The job school is a four week program in which those participating in the ETP receive one week’s instruction in filling out job applications, writing resumes and learning about interviewing procedures. The next three weeks are spent on the phone actually setting up job interviews. "The program is working excellently,” Dean told the county board. Decker said another reason for the department’s excitement over the program is that formerly it had less control over the AFDC employment program. Control over the program had been shared with the Michigan Employment Security Commission Paul Dean named to governor’s committee serve existing capital. Specifically, Certificates of Deposit, Money Market Funds, IRA's, Tax deferred annuities, All Savers, Tax Free Bonds and other safe money investments.

Paulauski said the group was formed in January to provide alternatives to "land­ filling recyclable materials” like glass, tin cans, and plastic milk jugs. For the Hastings site, she said the group Commissioners hear employment, training programs Hastings United Fund short of goal The Hastings Area Community Fund's United Fund Drtye had hoped to wrap up its campaign early this month, but finds itself about $30,275 short of its goal. That shortfall is just an estimation at this point, said Drive Chairman larry Ainslie, because reports within all the divisions have not been received yet. “I do expect more (contributions), but I don’t want to count chickens," he said. Totals to date show that $80,900 has been raised toward the drive’s goal of $111,175. The only division that has surpassed its goal to date is the residential division which has raised $5,200. Its goal had been set at $5,175. The industrial division has reached $48 000 towards its $60,000 goal; retail has $2,2u0 of its $6,000 goal , public agencies has $2,500 of its $7,000goal; schools has $8,000 of its $11,500 goal; professional has $3,000 of its $6,500 goal and commercial and retail services has $12,000 of its $15,000 goal. Because of the shortages in division goals, Ainslie said the drive deadline will be ex­ tended to December 9 when the board of directors holds its quarterly meeting. In the meantime, he and other United Fund July 1. 1983 through July 1.1987, the city will pay 60 percent of the cost and the townships 40 percent. In the old contract the city and the townships had shared the cost on a 50-50 basis. The contract is retroactive to July 1 of this year and will be in effect until July 1, 1987, unless it is terminated in writing by either party with a one-year notice. A request to use city property for a recycling site has been referred to the council’s property committee which is ex­ pected to report on the matter at its next meeting In a letter to the council.

In the aftermath of the election in Michigan's Third Congressional District, Richard L. Milliman, Delta Township Republican, has been facing a barrage of questions about his future plans from Third District residents. Reflecting on results of Tuesday's election and the campaign he waged in the district. Milliman said today: "It's much too soon to be making any decisions about whether or not I will be a candidate for Congress in this district in the 1984 election. Not only will I have to carefully review all of the details involved in our effort in this election, I have to look closely at the countless other contributing factors that figure in a race like this. "It’s going to lake some time to digest all that has transpired in these past months, and I intend to take that time to look back before I look lo anv future plans.” Milliman noted he has already had dozens of questions about another try for the congressional seat, many of them from persons who were part of the large corps of volunteers that worked throughout the district. "I have been overwhelmed by the efforts exhibited by hundreds of volunteers in this campaign,” Milliman said, "and I place much value on input they have provided. It’s impossible to measure the full importance of volunteer commitments in a campaign like this.” But it’s not the time to think about ’84, according to Milliman, who added the footnote to the campaign just concluded Tuesday by sending a telegram to Democrat Howard Wolpe. Milliman's wire read: "Now that the votes are counted, it ap­ pears you have received the special birthday present you sought from the voters in the Third Congressional District We offer our congratulations.

Chiming and striking problems usually do not affect the running or time keeping of a clock, though if a rack and snail type striking system is not operating, it may stop the clock. If the striking and-or chiming systems are not operating at all. professional help is needed. As long as the striking and-or chiming systems are working, you can make most adjustments yourself. Dull tone can be caused by loose mounting of the gong or rod, or the most common cause is the hammer resting on the rod as it is vibrating. When the hammer is at rest, there must be about one-sixteenth inch clearance between the hammer and the rod or gong. You can bend the hammer wire (or the gong) away to get this clearance. Sharp metallic sounds are the result of the metal of the hammer hitting the rod instead of the leather insert. Bend the hammer wire so that it hits squarely on the leather or plastic insert. Dried leather may also give a metallic sound. A drop of Neetsfoot oil on the leather will many times soften the leather enough for a good tone. If this does not work, the inserts will have to be replaced. Always make sure the hammers fall freely, and the gong or rods are not touching anything but their mounting base. Since the chiming and-or striking sections of the clock movement usually require more power than the time unit, they will run down sooner on a mainspring driven cIock. If the clock is allowed to run down, the striking and-or chiming tunes will be out of sequence with the time shown by the hands. On self-correcting movements, this will automatically correct itself within an hour. Most of the American antique clocks have count wheel type striking systems, which are not self-correcting. As the time section will continue to go after the striking unit has run out of power, you will have an out of sequence striking, when the clock is again wound. If you have an eigh -day non­ correcting clock, it may be a good idea to stop the clock when you will not be around to wind it when it should be. When you return, just wind the clock, reset it to the correct time, being sure to stop each half hour and hour to lei the clock strike. Some clocks have a correcting cord, and here you can turn the hands to the correct time, then keep pulling the correcting cord until the clock is back in sequence. When there is no corrector cord or wire, and the clock is out of striking sequence, this is the procedure for correcting the strike sequence: Let us presume that the clock is not striking the hour that the hour hand shows. Move the minute hand to the 12 on the dial and count the number of strikes While holding the minute hand at 12, gently slide the hour hand to the correct number on the dial that the clock last struck. Now. move the minute hand forward until you reach the correct time, remembering to stop at each one-half hour and hour to let the clock strike. Suppose that the hour is striking when the minute hand is on the six instead of on the 12 and you are getting the half-hour strike when the minute hand is on the 12. Here you move the minute hand clockwise to the six, and while the clock is striking the hour, move the minute hand very rapidly to the 12. That is all that is necessary to correct the position of the minute hand in relation to the hour and half-hour strike. Chiming clocks without correctors are brought into sequence the same way that striking clocks are. by moving the hands. A non-working antique clock is worth half its value, or less, than a working clock.

Ingham County Circuit Court Judge James T. Kailman has ordered the phone company to pay refunis with interest to its customers for a period covering December 1, 1975 through August 7. 1977. The refunds are for the $3.10 per month difference subscribers paid during that time period when the Michigan Public Service Commission first approved an increased $16.35 basic monthly rate in 1975 and then lowered it to $13.25 per month in 1977. Judge Kaliman told the Banner that his decision was based on the Michigan Court of Appeals previous opinion that prevented the Hickory Telephone Company from collecting the higher rate. That opinion also authorized Kailman to make decisions regarding the refund issue, he said. Kaliman said the interest rale paid to subscribers would probably be between seven and 12 percent as outlined by state statute, depending on which area of the statute is deemed appropriate in the case. It is not known when subscribers can ex­ Manufacturing, union will meet next week by Robert J. Johnston Officials of Hastings Manufacturing Co. and UAW Local 138 will meet Tuesday or Wednesday of next week, the two sides confirmed this morning. Talks broke off in October, but the negotiators returned to the bargaining table, last Wednesday, in a session that ran late into the evening. The company made a new offer at that session and was anticipating a response to that offer, Dennis Witham, director of industrial relations, said. “We’re going to respond to it," David Turnes, chief negotiator for the production maintenance section of the union, said. “But it’s the union's genera) opinion that we have reached our final offer. I can never speak for all parties, though." Witham said that the company blieves time in the negotiations "has become very significant" and that the talks are nearing a completion. The company had originally set an Oct. 1 deadline for reaching an agreement with the union on the future of 150 jobs in the filler department. The company has since raised the figure to 250 jobs. Hastings Manufacturing has formed a committee to study moving the jobs outside of Michigan, but Witham said, last week. that the committee is "not actively researching a location." Evelyn Curtis, Local 138 president, said that the union is planning to stick to its last proposal made in October. Witham, however, said that UAW’ In­ ternational regional representative Paul Mastos had said at the last bargaining session that the union would be "going back to the drawing board." Mastos could not be reached for comment. pect to receive the refunds. The judge said his order will become effective immediately when he signs it. hut he added that the telephone company will probably appeal his decision. Nine members of the Hickory Telephone Subscribers Committee, the group that has spent seven years in legal battles with the phone company, attended the hour and a half court hearing, held Tuesday in Lansing. “We fell we made another milestone, and we came home feeling happy about it," said Dorothy Kettle, a member of the subscribers committee. Mrs. Kettle said the subscribers' attorney Philip Hummer also expects the telephone company to appeal Tuesday’s decision. “But. we're going to hang in there," she said. Harvey J. Messing, a Lansing attorney who represents the telephone company, refused to comment on the case Thursday and would not say w hether the phone com pany planned to appeal the refund order Mrs. Kettle said the total amount of money to be refunded to subscribers was not mentioned during Tuesday's court hearing. However, she estimated that the total amount, to be divided amoung subscribers, would be in the neighborhood of $60,000. She said her estimate is based on the figures used when the MPSC revised the phone rate in 1977. At that time the MPSC required the telephone company to reduce its rates by $38,464. on an annual basis Lorraine Squires. The Hastings Bliss bargaining... Herman Bottcher, acting director of in­ dustrial relations at E.W. Bliss Co. in Hastings, said that thecompany and officials of UAW Local 414 would be meeting next week. The two sides met Tuesday and Bott­ cher said they were "still talking" The next meeting dale is not yet firm. Two Gun Lake people killed in auto crash Wednesday Two residents of Gun Lake were killed, W ednesday, when their car struck a tree at a high rate of speed. Dead are Virgie Mae Risner, 37, of 4050 England Point Dr., Shelbyville and Larry Herbert Coburn, 30, of the same address. Their car was northbound on Second Street, just north of 114th Avenue in Martin Township of Allegan County. A spokesman for the Michigan State Police at Wayland said the investigation indicates that the vehicle was traveling at a high rate of speed, went out of control and struck a tree about 20 feet from the road. Police are not certain where the couple had been, but they appeared to be heading toward their home, about six miles away. The accident was discovered shortly after it happened by Norman Snyder of Shelbyville. Both of the victims were pronounced dead at the scene by Dr. Janis Pone of Martin, the Allegan County medical examiner. The Martin and Wayland fire departments were at the scene with ex­ traction equipment. The victims were transported by Plainwell Ambulance to Archer-Hampel Funeral Home in W’ayland. Ms. Risner was transferred to Marshall Gren Funeral Home in Plainwell. 23 people elected to county Republican executive board United way A new executive committee of 23 persons, with four alternates, has been elected to sene the Barry County Republican Party. Officers of that committee will be elected Monday. December 13at a 7:30 p.m. meeting tn the probate courtroom in Hastings. The committee was elected by verbal vote Monday at the Republican's fall county convention in the circuit courtroom in Hastings. Although it had been advertised that of­ ficers would be elected at that same meeting, many of the new executive board members were not in attendance so the selection of officers was postponed, said current Party Chairman Wendell Strickland.

Judge Kailman initially ordered the refunds in 1979 but they were never issued liecause of pending court appeals of the rate vase at that lime. Mrs. Kettle said Judge Kailman expressed surprised Tuesday that his initial refund order had never been carried out. The telephone company had previously been ordered to collect its increased rates under bond, in the event that refunds would Im? ordered The rate battle between subscribers and the phone company began in November of 1975 when the MPSC authorized a 54 increase in telephone rales, from $10.60 to $16.35. Before the increase was granted, the telephone company, which has about 900some subscribers, already had (he highest basic phone rate in the state. A grassroots protest by the subscribers attracted nationwide attention when many of them disconnected their phone service to protest the increase. The telephone company had said the in­ crease was necessary to pay for its increased cosLs of operation and for improvements in service.

State Representative Don Gilmer sent a letter to William Milliken Nov. 11 urging the governor s consideration in appointing Shuster to the vacancy. “I'm sure my recommendation was one of many," said Gilmer. "It's part of a unanimous effort by everyone I've talked to in Barry County to sec if we can get the county its very own resident for a Circuit Judge." Both Robinson and Judge Hudson E. Deming are Eaton County residents. “That's one of the things I pointed out (in my letter) was .hat in the two-county circuit, Eaton County has claimed both judges for a good number of years. "I think that Barn- County has a qualified individual, and is deserving of having its own judge...It would be nice to have one judge in each county," said Gilmer. Shuster. 53. attended Ottawa Hills High School, then Michigan State College, where he graduated with a bachelor of science in 1950. He recieved his law degree from the University of Michigan in 1953, He joined the law firm of Warner, Norcross and Judd in Grand Rapids in 1953, then served for two years in the army before returning to that firm in 1956. In 1957, he moved to Hastings. "1 wanted to be a country lawyer." explains Shuster. He married Rosemary Roberts of Grand Rapids in 1953. The couple has three children, two grown daughters and a son now at Hillsdale College The Hastings Business and Professional Women club, at a recent meeting, voted unanimously to send a letter of endorsement for Shuster to the governor. The Hastings attorney is also officialy endorsed has come from the Barry County Republicans. Attorney James Fisher, president of the Barry County Bar Association, says he and “most if not all" Barry County lawyers would like to see Shuster on the bench, but he stopped short of an official bar endorsement at this time. Support is growing for Hastings attorney Richard Shuster to replace Judge Richard Robinson on the Barry-Eaton Circuit Court bench. Robinson...“physically, emotionally drained” by Ken Reibel Circuit Court Judge Richard Robinson says he is leaving his job Dec. 18 because his 16 years on the bench have left him "physically and emotionally drained." “I feel physically and emotionally drained. 1 know a lot of other judges do it. I just feel that the taxpayers would not be getting their money s worth if 1 continued through the rest of my term." says Robinson. •"I'm not complaining about the job.. It's just that I'm not sure if I'm temperamentally suited Io the job, to handle the volume of cases." The judge submitted his resignation three weeks ago. Robinson. 67. lias spent most of his life in Michigan. He first attended school in Mid­ dleville. and throughout his early years his father, a Methodist minister, moved the family "all over West Michigan”. Robinson says he first thought about a law­ career in high school. “I was the first lawyer in the family, .and probably the last," he laughs. He graduated from Michigan Stale University in 1939. serving in the Pacific with the lllh Airborn Division. 188th parachute infantry regiment It was only last year that Robinson learned that an associate. BarnProbate Judge Richard Laughrin, was a paratrooper in the same division. The two have known each other for the last six years. Robinson earned the Silver Star in the Phillipines. and left the war as a captain Years later, he left the reserves as a colonel After the war, he entered law school at the University of Michigan, graduating in 1948. He entered privated practice in Eaton Judge Richard Robinson Rapids, staying with the same firm until 1966, when he replaced Judge Archie Mc­ Donald on the Barry-Eaton Circuit Court bench. Robinson won re-election to his job in 1972, and again in 1978. There are currently two years left in his third term. He says he's seen an increase in domestic cases from about 25 percent in his first term, to about 50 percent now. He says he finds domestic cases the hardest part of his job. "‘It's very frustrating to come up with good answers in an area where there aren't many good answers." he says. He adds that divorce cases art a growing problem in all courts "I don't want to make it sound as if tha's my complaint, every judge is faced with that problem. "I think that if this was a job where I could lake a year off and get my breath back, then I could come back and do alright "Mostly it's just a case of running out of steam," says Robinson. Robinson says that throughout the year®, he has enjoyed "working with good lawyers." and that he particularly enjoys “watching a good lawyer try a lawsuit." He also says he likes the variety of his job “You gel a little bit of everything in Circuit Court. I wouldn’t like a job where you get the same kinds of cases day after day. like the Recorders Courts Judges in Deloit, who hear only criminal cases. That would be stultifying." When asked if he has any advice for his successor. Robinson replies “Probably lots of it. but you wouldn't have enough space in your newspaper to print it," then, "I would say make as many decisions the bench as you can, and don't lake you problmes home with you." Robinson says he plans to spend his days away from the bench fishing and cabinet­ making. He currently lives on a 200-acre farm near Berrien Rapids with his wife, Jean. The couple has three children, all grown: Ann. 38. Patrick, 35, and Jane, 32. On the Inside • Winter car care tips • Dave Styf profiled • Deers bagged �The Hastings Banner. Thursday.

Sheriff deputies say Valeri Kay-Beduhn Plants, 33. 904 Greenwood St., was nor­ thbound on Whitmore Rd., south of Oak Rd., about 2:50 a.m. Sunday when her car sud­ denly left the road.

In addition to charges of resisting and obstructing a police officer, McLaren was also arraignned for drunk driving and possession of marijuana.

A Kent County Sheriff Dept, spokesman said that Daniel E. Miller, Sr., 50, of Coach Lane, Kentwood, lost control of his vehicle while eastbound on 108th St. and struck a tree on the north side of the road. A unit from the Middleville Fire Dept, assisted in the 4:45 p.m. mishap with ex­ traction tools. The spokesman said the accident is under investigation. That inexperience is also hampering in­ vestigators in their effort to determine if the infant's injuries were caused by microwaves. Golm said that tissue samples from the infant have been sent to “an army burn unit," to determine the exact source of the burns. Dr. Seung Hwan Kim, chief pathologist at Husband and wife sentenced in jail on work release, live years probation, and to perform 500 hours of community service.

He added that he has not yet seen the samples sent to him When asked how long it would take him to determine the exact cause of the burns, Kim replied "I don't know. I have never seen burns of this type before. 1 don’t know what to look for." Golm said the baby's mother told police she noticed the burns shortly after she used the microwave to heat a bottle of formula for the infant. "The story that was purported to us was that the baby had been placed on ar. ironing board while the microwave had been running for a short time, and that upon returning to the microwave, the baby was found to have suffered the injuries." said Golm. When asked il the parents are claiming that the oven leaked microwaves. Golm answered "Whatever we want to imagine, that's what (the parents) are willing for us to believe." The oven was tested by a representative for the federal Food and Drug Ad­ ministration in Barry County on Nov. 2 for defects or malfunctions, with negative results, according to prosecutor Hughes.

They were taken to Pennock Hospital, where Chase was treated and released for a puncture wound to the back of the head. Examination of the wound and an X-ray failed to locate a bullet. After interviewing residents who live on the river near where the shooting occured, deputies located a man who claimed to have shot at a red squirrel from his kitchen window about 8 a.m., the approximate time Chase was shot. In their report, deputies concluded that the bullet which struck Chase had probably ricocheted first, and that the shooting was accidental. The bullet has not been recovered. Deputies believe it bounced off Chase's head and into the river. Deputies theorized that a shot fired in­ tentionally probably would have penetrated Chase's skull. The report has been turned over the Barry prosecutors. As of Thursday morning, no action has been taken by that office. Clothier found guilty of second degree murder, Dec. 10 sentencing A Circuit Court jury deliberated for twoand-a-half hours last week and found 17-yearold Nolan Clothier of Lacey guilty of seconddegree murder. "That's what the jury decided, and it was no surprise to me,” says Dale Crowley, Barry County assistant prosecutor who handled the case. He added "The evidence was there for first degree.” Defense attorney Dave Tripp declined comment on his client's case. Sentencing for Clothier is set for Dec. 10. He faces up to life in prison. Unlike first-degree murder, which carries a mandatory life in prison without parole, there is no mandatory sentencing for murder in the second degree. The jury began its deliberations Wed­ nesday afternoon, but was dismissed by Judge Richard Robinson at 5 p.m., and or­ dered to resume Friday.

The 7 p.m. blaze at the Myrlin Courtney residence. 9910 Chief Noonday Rd., was apparently set off by a fire in a wood stove which spread through the chimney and into the attic, before spreading to the upper story of the wood frame farmhouse. Stone said the fire was "fully involved" when firemen arrived on the scene. Middleville, assisted by a tank truck and crew from Hastings, took one-half hour to bring the fire under control.

(Banner photo) Barry County 4-H’ers place high in national dairy contest The Michigan 4-H Dairy Quiz Bowl Team, made up of five young people from Barry County, placed seventh out of 17 teams en­ tered in the third North American In­ vitational 4-H Dairy Quiz Bowl Contest in Louisville, Ky„ Nov. 6-7. Team members included Tom Wing, of Bellevue; Dan Keech, of Nashville; and Tim Case, Darwin Stanton and Gordon Stanton, all of Hastings. Team coaches were Nianne Jarrard and Joan Keech, both of Nashville. The team’s trip to the national contest, held during the North American Livestock Exposition, was underwritten by a grant from the Production Credit Associations of Michigan. The Barry County youths earned a chance to compete in the national contest by scoring well at the state dairy quiz bowl contest held during 4-H Dairy Days at Michigan State University in August. An early retirement incentive plan for Hastings school administrators, designed to save money, will be proposed to the Hastings Board of Education, Monday The board will meet at 7:30 p.m. at Pleasantview School. Richard J. Guenther, superintendent, said two administrators would be eligible for the program, Robert Miller and Lewis Lang. Guenther said that he didn’t know whether either would accept the proposal or precisely how much could be saved. The savings would be dependent on who retired. "After the board passes it and an in­ dividual makes a request for retirement," Guenther said, "that information will be released." The plan is being recommended to the board by its finance committee. It calls for severance pay plus $4,000 on July 1, 1983 and $4,000 on July 1, 1984. Administrators in­ terested must indicate their decision to the board by Dec. 15. Two teachers in the system opted for an early retirement program approved this year and saved the system $10,000, Guenther said. The savings is gained by replacing teachers at the top of the pay scale with those who have less seniority. Also on the agenda for Monday’s meeting will be a recommendation from Guenther to make formal application to tl*e OK Athletic Conference to join their league (see story in sports section). The board will act on tuition costs for the 1982-83 school year. Tuition fees will remain Delton man completes infantry combat training Marine Pvt. Robert T. Allen, son of Cluade B.

Board’s priorities on programs, test shows Unattached people frequently comment on the fact that they’re longing to travel but reluctant to take a trip alone. During the past several years more and more resorts have become geared to the single traveler, offering special activities, sports packages and cocktail parties to help a guest meet others quickly and painlessly. The travel world is no longer populated only by couples, nor is it neces­ sary for an individual to limit his/her horizons to singles tours. If you're willing to give it half a chance, you’re sure to find that travel­ ing alone can be a most enjoyable experience. In fact, talking to strangers might not be such a bad idea after all, and you’ll do it quite readily in a relaxed, resort atmosphere. Naturally some places are more suitable than others for unattached travelers, but we’ll help you select the spot that's best for you. Don't sit back and watch others travel to places you’d like to visit your­ self. Give us a call and let us show you how to open the doors to new ex­ periences and a world of excitement.

November 18. 1982 Page 6 Local volunteers reach out to local needs Elaine Gilbert Volunteer spirit is alive and well in Barry County, but more volunteers and donors are needed to keep up with increasing needs. Local volunteers are gearing up efforts to provide help to Barry County residents who need assistance for a variety of reasons including those who have been hit by hard economic times. One relatively new example of local people working to come to the rescue of other local folks is an expanded program called Volunteer Services, which is operated through the county department of social services. Working with other agencies, organizations, churches, and individuals, social services is serving as the hub for coordinating volunteer efforts to efficiently serve those who are in need of help. Don Rewa, an employee of the county social services department, serves at the helm of the volunteer effort, working as volunteer services supervisor. During the 1981-82 fiscal year, county volunteers, through the program, donated 4.303.7 hours to help assist 3,310 persons with needs. Donations worth $6,335 were received to help fill those needs. Rewa said that for every dollar invested in Volunteer Services, it returns $4.50 in goods and services statewide. "Through our department more people are being seen who are poor middle-class workers, elderly, ADC-U clients, and persons whose unemployment benefits have been exhausted completely," said Rewa. A direct reflection of the depressed economic times has been noted in the county with an increase in the number of persons “who have had a long history of em­ ployment, but are out oi work because of the economic conditions," he said. "Through Volunteer Services, attempts are being made to help many people who do not qualify for any assistance program yet have definite needs and also to help people who do not want on-going assistance yet need temporary one-time help," said Rewa. In order to provide quality services when the number of clients continues to grow, Rewa said, it has become necsseary for the department of social services to extend its capacity for work production by in­ corporating volunteer staff into the services delivery system. He said volunteers fulfill a wide range of functional responsibilities and that the list is endless and ever-changing. Volunteer job assignments generally fall into two types of sendees — direct services delivery to recipients of the department; and indirect services involving office operations. Volunteers are needed: —to serve as companions or role models to youth, the aged, and the handicapped, —to transport isolated people to important medical or counseUng appointments; —to assist the elderly with grocery shopping; —to provide support systems for those in need of a friend; —toassist applicants with the difficult task of processing their requests for agency sendees; —to type, file and maintain records; —to serve as administrative assistants; —to organize, maintain, and distribute material goods donated for charitable purposes. All of the volunteer programs are developed as a response to clients* needs and community and workers request, according to Rewa. The programs also are evaluated to assure that there is an existing present need for it to be functioning. Former Hastings Chamber official joins Amway public relations staff Robert P. Johnson, former executive director of the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce, has joined the public relations staff at Amway Corporation, according to Casey Wondergem, director of public relations. Johnson, a Grand Rapids native, has 11 years of Chamber of Commerce management experience, including service as president of the Saginaw County Chamber of Commerce, and chief executive in Monroe. His previous experience includes advertising, wire service and newspaper posts. Johnson graduated from Western Michigan University. He also is a graduate of the Institutes of Organization Management, a chamber of commerce management piogram at Notre Dame. During his chamber tenure, Johnson worked with legislative issues, economic development, organizational development and communications. He is a past president of the Michigan Chamber of Commerce Executives, member of American Chamber of Commerce Executives and was a board member with several community organizations in Saginaw. Monroe and Hastings. Amway Corporation is one of the world's largest personal selling companies with operations in the United States and 24 other countries or territories. The firm markets more than 300 products under its own name plus over 2,000 other brand name items available through its Personal Shoppers Catalog Service. Amway products can be purchased only from independent Amway distributors. Once donations of household goods have been secured, it is volunteers like these who deliver the needed items, like this couch, to a Barry County family.

Norm Barlow, chairman, said. The Hastings High School marching band will participate in the parade as well as the homecoming king and queen. This year’s grand marshal is Willard Curtis, minister of the First Presbyterian Chui ch. The Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce wants floats and carolers. Church choirs are encouraged to participate and brass ac­ companiment may be used. Those interested in being included in the parade should contact the Chamber of Commerce office at 945-2454. Don Rewa. Volunteer Services Supervisor, checks with Norine Jacobs, volunteer material donations coordinator, to discuss her efforts in securing donated household items to help needy families and those who have experienced emergency crisises. (Bonn.r photos) Currently, requests have been expressed for additional programs and expansion for existing services for residents of the county. A program to assist with material donations is one of the new requests. Norine Jacobs serves as the volunteer coordinator of that project which means she spends time seeking donations of large and small usable household items that can be given to the poor or those who have a crisis need in the county. Mrs. Jacobs said there is a desperate need for donations of dressers, kitchen tables and chairs, refrigerators, and all types of beds. Donors receive a donation certificate which may be used as an income lax deduction. She is also hoping to find a person who has a heated building (with water and elec­ tricity) to donate to nelp the Volunteer Services program store donated goods. Volunteers to move donated furniture and a volunteer to make minor repairs of goods are other needs in the material donations division. Mrs. Jacobs may be reached on Wed­ nesday afternoons or Thursday mornings at 948-3254 or 948-3200. Cindy Lieffers is the volunteer coordinator in the craf Ls projects category. She organizes volunteers who are currently putting their knitting and crocheting talents to work LADIES ONLY Night WED., DEC. 1... 7-9 p.m. POWER & HAND TOOL DEMONSTRATIONS to help you in gift selection for that special man in your life Refreshments • Our staff of ladies will be making warm mittens, hats, and scarfs for needy children. Mrs. Lieffers has been delivering donated yarns to volunteer senior citizens, shut-ins, and other crafters who arc donating their time to make the items. Donations of yarn are always welcome to keep the program ongoing and she may be reached at 948-8958. These projects work closely with the local Community Action Agency (CAA) for distribution of clothing, food, and necessary household items to local residents. Winter seems to require a greater need for donations and this year is no expection with the present economic conditions, said Rewa. Tlie current supply of items is very low and good useable donations are urgently requested. Clothing donations can be given to CAA, located on Court St. in Hastings, by calling 945-5043. The county department of social services also supervises food distribution and support for that emergency food bank has come from chinches. CAA, community organizations, nd individual donors. Volunteer Ethel Barber helps coordinate the food bank which provides emergency food for families who do not qualify for or are unable to be helped with an emergency food need under any of the other assistance programs. She purchases the food from money con­ tributions from churches, etc. and restocks it as needed. The food bank is housed at social services and its stock consists of non-perishable items such as canned frui ts and vegetables, canned stews, cereal, powdered milk, baby food, . acaroni, peanut butter, crackers, jello mixes, and canned tuna fish. There is also an emergency-crisis fund, through the department, that is used to help when someone needs gas money for medical appointments, food not stocked in the food bank, clothing, fuel, and other emergency items not provided for by any assistance program or known agency. Funds for this account come from donations from churches, community organizations, businesses, and private donors. New contributors are always welcome too. Transportation is one of the areas where volunteers provide a valued service. Volunteers are needed who would be willing to spend some time driving clients to ap­ pointments and for other necessary trips outside of the county. Local county tran­ sportation is provided by Barry County Transit. Two other projects, under the Volunteer Services umbrella, will begin operation in BR3N December and January. They are a parent aide program and a children’s corner project. Linda McJunkin is the volunteer coor­ dinator for the parent aide program. Its goal is to provide a helping, supportive relationship for parents who have either abused or neglected their children. Aides are volunteers who are assigned to work with parents on a one-to-one basis, providing supportive friendly, neighborly relationships. In offering this kind of friendship, the volunteer aide can help reduce the isolation and mistrust that often lead to abuse and neglect. Aides also serve as models for positive parenting skills needed for everyday life. Heading the children's corner project as volunteer coordinator is Bev Kurr This project involves future plans to turn a speck 1 area, inside the department of social ser­ vices, into a place where supervised child care can be offered. The supervised care would be provided for children while one parent or both parents are meeting with a staff worker. NEXT WEEK, the Banner will publish a complete listing of volunteer needs and service openings as well as other related information. Be sure to look for the column.

Mrs. Marshall Cook installed the officers for the United Methodist Women for 1983. Mrs. Frank McMillan, Christian per­ sonhood chm., asked for the ladies to form a friendship circle following the placing of their "Thank Offering" on the altar. Rewa points out that volunteers select their own hours of work and the type of work they want to do. Currently there are 60 volunteers who are affiliated with Volunteer Services, but more are urgently needed. Persons who are interested in volunteering may contact Rewa at 948-3259. “Volunteers are an important part of our staff, and the special resources volunteers are able to bring to human services are sorely needed. Volunteers are people who care," said Rewa. Volunteers come from all walks of life The history of volunteerism in the United States reveals a rich and varied investment in the quality of life both a home and abroad. Volunteers come from all social, economic, religious and ethnic backgrounds, bringing with them an impressive array of insights and specialized skills. They include the rich, the poor, the elderly, youth and the physically and developmentally disabled. The only common denominator involves the fact that everybody has something to give! Volunteers, like those right here in Barry County, are people who see a need, and then help to fill that need, both for themselves and for others, said Don Rewa, Volunteer Ser­ vices Supervisor at the Barry County Department of Social Services. The traditional motive of achieving per­ sonal satisfaction by accomplishing im­ portant tasks is alive and well in the local volunteer community, he said. But other motivations, frequently mere tangible, are readily accepted today by the network of human services agencies. “Non-traditional" volunteers include those who are bored with recent retirement and want to fill lime; college students who are looking for real-life experiences relating to their academic work , professionals who are interested in adding valuable experiences to LOW COST DENTURES their repertoire of knowledge for in­ corporation into employment resumes; youth who want to do something of value with their spare time; those who have been socially isolated for prolonged periods of time and want to encourage personal growth by reintegrating themselves into the mainstream of community life; persons who have been out of the labor market and are looking for current employment references; and newcomers to the community who want to make human contacts while simultaneous!} making an investment in their new environment. Regardless of a person’s motives for volunteering, the local Volunteer Services program wants to hear from interested persons, Rewa said. Details of the important roles volunteers are performing locally are detailed in the accompanying story.

Dave Styf keeps one eye on his pint-size charges, and the other on the lignt barrage of snowballs overhead. "Normally, we have rules about throwing snowballs, ’ he says, "but when Mother Nature puts this much snow down we bend the rules." Styf grabs a quiet moment at his desk. Handling parental concerns is a major part of the principal's job. (Bonner photos) But it's the local school board, and not Mother Nature, that has Styf bending most of the rules these days. The board made him principal of two elementary schools as an austerity move this year, and Styf lias learned to compromise more than a few guidelines in order to fit his busy schedule. He describes himself as a building manager, rather than as an instructional leader. "I think the community wants more of the instructional leader aspect. That's the role an elementary pricipal should fulfill," he says. Back in the cafeteria, the kids are lined up at a shiny metallic cart for the day's lunch: a choice of hamburgers or hot dogs, with corn, later tots, milk and chocolate sheet cake. A sign on the wall promises that "Thursday is milk shake day." Styf spends two hours of each five-hour school day supervising lunch hours. He keeps moving, walking between long tables packed with chewing noisy kids, trying to keep order where seemingly none exists. He has help from the older students who work in the kitchen, and clear the tables. "I'm still in charge," he notes. As he walks the aisles, he sees a student sitting at a table without a lunch, and Styf motions him over. They exchange words, and the boy returns to his chair. "Sometimes the kids use their lunch money to buy candy," explains. "The first time that happens, i call their parents to tell them what's happening.

"The sugar can make them hyperactive.” At 11:30, Styf dismisses the lunch hour crowd, table by table, then drives across town to Northeastern Elementary for a second lunch period. The fourth, fifth and sixth-graders are ushered out to the playground, while the younger kids eat. More snowballs wars. Styf lays down the rtles: no throwing around the building. "Take the snowballs up the hiil," he says. Offenders are singled out and told lo stand against the wall for the remainder of the playground period. "The teachers only take iheir breaks during lunch hour." says Styf, "I think they deserve the time to themselves, otherwise they’re not as effective with the kids in class." Styf explains the most important part of his job as "establishing an atmosphere whereby students can develop their educational potential", a line taken directly from a list of guidelines for elementary school principals "It’s something you can feel when you walk in the building." he says. "You’re personality comes through...it’s the method you use in dealing with teachers, with parents, it’s spending lime with parents. You can’t really put your finger on it." Styf. 35. grew up in Zealand, and attended a one-room shoolhouse in the first and second grades. As a junior al Holland’s Hope College, he made the decision to teach. He joihed Hastings schools in 1969. and spent his first three years as a sixth grade teacher, before becoming an assistant principal and a fifth grade teacher for two years He has been principal of Southeastern Elementary since 1975. School officials readily admit Slyf’s role is not ideal. "Under better economic limes, it would be belter to have two elementary principals for two schools." says Richard Guenther, superintendent of schools. He says it is not preferable to have an instructional leader act in a managerial capacity. But Guenther praises Styf as "a super person ", and says that under a difficult situation, "the board couldn’t ask fora belter person lo handle the job." Styf says one of the regrets he has about his busy schedule is not having the time to learn the names of all the children. "The principal is a key figure to the children," he explains, "The kids want you to know about their lives. They gel excited over things." A lol of Styf's time is spent listening to children.

Cold weather is not your hair’s only enemy this winter DALLAS. TEXAS — "It won't be the cold weather that damages your hair the most this winter," according to a leading skin care authority "It will be the drop in the relative humidity that causes the real damage to your hair." Dr. Myra 0 Barker, vice president of research and development for Mary Kay Cosmetics, Inc. says, "It’s so important to condition your hair and restore it to its maximum possible good condition before the relative humidity begins to drop this winter. "When the relative humidity begins to drop, damaged hair can’t maintain its moisture balance. It begins to get very brittle and will start to dry out, split and break,” she says. Most people have already damaged their hair this past summer which has left it virtually defenseless against the winter. Damage from chlorine, salt water and especially the sun has tended to damage the protective outer layer of the hair shaft and dried out the hair. Hair lias an ideal moisture balance that needs to be preserved in order for the hair to be elastic and smooth. When this balance is lost, the hair gets into trouble. "You need to think of your hair as if it was a $100 silk blouse. You wouldn’t throw a silk blouse into the washing machine with your jeans and socks. You'd treat it very carefully," says Dr. Barker. Hair is primarily composed of keratin, a highly complex protein substance. The only living part of each hair shaft is the root which is under the scalp. The hair we see is actually old cells that have been pushed out from the scalp as new cells have been formed in the root. Hair grows an average of lialf an inch per month making it one of the body's fastest growing organs or tissues. "There are several things you need to do right now to prepare for winter. First, go to a hairdresser and have the ends cut blunt, removing as much of the split ends as possible," Dr Barker suggests. Start using an intense conditioner once a week and. when smoothness returns to your hair, taper off to a couple of times a month during the winter. A conditioner smooths down the outer layer of the hair shaft, which resembles the scales of a fish. “This makes your hair shinier because it's the reflection of light off the cuticle scales that determines how shiny your hair is," she says. A conditioner also seals moisture in the inner layer, the cortex, by rflaking the cuticle scales lie down, which makes your hair less susceptible to damage through combing and blow-drying. Mechanical and thermal damage actually breaks off the cuticle scales leaving the protein fibers of the cortex ex­ posed and causing them to unravel and break. Once you have restored your hair to its best condition, there are several ways to protect it from damage during the cold months ahead. Wearing a scarf or hat on your head when outdoors is one way to protect your hair. This keeps your body's warmth and moisture close lo your hair. "Cold, dry weather lends to dry out your hair quickly just as it dries out your skin and it can make your hair very, very brittle." she says. “Covering your hair does not give complete protection, but at least you’re keeping your body’s warmth and moisture close to your hair to a certain extent." Switching froma shampoo for oily hair to a gentler shampoo for normal or dry hair in the winter and using an intense conditioner twice a month will also keep your hair in its best possible condition. "If you wear your hair down the middle of your back as many young women do," Dr. Barker adds, “the ends of your hair are 3 or 4 years old. If you wash your hair 3,4 or 7 times a week, as many young women do, you have done a tremendous amount of mechanical damage to those four-year-old ends from just washing it alone. "So be gentle with your hair and keep that silk blouse in mind," she says.

Aud’s Antics Our twentieth century young ladies of today should breathe a sigh of relief to have escaped the imprisonment of the corset which was in vogue over a hundred years ago. The corset was an impregnable master­ piece of engineering, and sometimes used as an armor-plated repository for valuables. Members of the French and Russian nobility are known to have stuffed their jewels in their corsets when fleeing their countries’ respective revolutions. The corset was not a structure of manifold blessings. Even though it gave ladies the “wasp-waist" appearance, it was very restrictive to proper movement and breathing. As the Chinese bound the feet of their youth to discourage proper growth and produce tiny feet, so did the genteel ladies of the French court bind their waists with metal stayed corsets, for a tiny waistline. An elderly Englishwoman, who recalled her experiences as a domestic servant decades ago, described graphically that she perspired so freely, that her corsets rusted. Corsets with metal stays were high fashion in those days, and were worn by all females from house-maid to mistress. Stays have had a life of several centuries, and the earliest examples were as solid as prison walls and just as restrictive. They were generally built from four plates of iron, hinged at the Sides and center front, with padded linings. In its heyday, the wearing of a corset was not so much a gentle art as a toughening-up process. Young ladies were ’’broken" in at an early age like rodeo horses. The "Englishwoman’s Domestic Magazine" of 18S6 revealed that at one boarding school where stays were compulsory, the girls were sealed up by the headmistress on Monday morning and only freed for bath-time the following weekend. One complacent mother remarked that sleeping in metal stays "carried no hardship beyond an occasional fainting fit." Many a matron could, from time to time, be seen laying her daughter on the carpet, planting one foot on the girl’s back and breaking about half a dozen laces in the course of tightening her stays. Girls were not permitted to remove lheir corsets even for Swedish exercises or lawn games. In the 16th century, "young blades" tied strips of corset lace around lheir arms or to their hat bands as symbols of their ladies' breathless affection. A couple of centuries later, even children — boys as well as girls — were locked into stays as soon as they could walk, to insure they grew with upright carriage Tales of the span of corset-wearing ladies' waists became legion, and one diarist recorded that many poor girls injured their health by attempting to compete with a fau'ed 18th century beauty, the Duchess of Rutland, whose own waist was rumored to match the circumference of one and a half oranges. Outbreaks of pimples were said to be among the effects of overlight lacing, and many corseted ladies were alleged to be physically incapable of laughing. One critic in a women’s magazine of the times, said it was only because of her corset that the typical Englishwoman appeared so stiff and stand-offish. The Emperor Joseph II published throughout the German Empire a decree sensibly banning the wearing of stays in schools, nunneries, and orptanages. Nonetheless, corsets were to be found in the precious bundles clutched by early im­ migrants to the United States. More recently, a British magazine reported that one-third of that country’s members of Parliament wore specially constructed corsets to insure proper, stiff posture befitting the English court. The heavily stayed corsets brought into existance the "fainting couch" of the early 18th century. It was fashionable for ladies to have fainting spells, and a low couch on which to collapse was a necessity — as falling on the floor in a heap wouldn’t have been lady-like. November...the month between — the seasons November is a month of transition in Michigan... one that often sees the fall of the last crimson maple leaf of autumn and the first white snowflakes of approaching winter. What does not change with the seasons, though, is a Michiganian's fondness for things festive and exciting. And there’s lots more to do than slow your golf clubs and sharpen your skis. 'I he Belle Isle Conservatory in Detroit sets the stage for November with its annual Thanksgiving Flower Show (mid-Nov. through early Dec ). They plan to show off more than 100 varieties of gorgeous chrysanthemums in a harvest setting. In sports car rally circles, the Press On Regardless Road Rally (Nov. 5-7) in Michigan's Copper Country is nationally famous and attracts participants and spectators from throughout the U.S. and Irom several foreign countries. Those who have driven Upper Peninsula logging roads in November know why the grueling. 600mile "P.O.R.’’ is billed as the "oldest, meanest, longest" road rally in America. A rotund, red-clad resident of the North Pole will preside over the 56th annual Thanksgiving Day Parade in Detroit on the 25th. This year’s parade will give a "Salute to Disney" with colorful floats and gigantic helium ballons depicting "Mickey’s Christmas Carol", Snow White, the Three Little Pigs, Cinderella, and other immortal Walt Disney creations. New to this year’s production is a five-story balloon resembling a certain floppy-cared baby e'jphant of Disney movie fame. The beginning of the Christmas season is also heralded by the opening of Fantasyland in Lincoln Park on November 27. Adults as well as children take delight in seeing the old-fashioned animated Christmas won­ derland with amazingly life-like characters. There’s a life-sized Nativity scene and a "Mouse Factory’’ to marvel at and streets lined with toy shops, country stores and a candy shop to visit. For art and craft fanciers, there are enough events like the Thistle and Thread Bazaar in Traverse City (Nov. 24-27) and the Flea and Thieves Market (27th) in Battle Creek to give Michigan's stitchers, weavers, carvers, molders, hammerers, and chiselers things to see and do for a month. Other November happenings to keep in mind are: the Old Village Christmas Walk (Nov. 28) in Plymouth, the Louie Belson Big Band Explosion (Nov. 30) at the National Music Campat Interlochen, and the Eastern Great Lakes Figure Skating Championships (Nov. 8-13) in Midland.

Thursdoy, November 18. 1982 Poge 10 Calls year "successful” Words for the Y’s Simpson reviews ‘82 football season by Steve Vedder Jeff Simpson walks during a game this fall. the sidelines (Banner photo) When the 1982 version of Hastings football gathered for practice in the heat of last August, first-year head coach Jeff Simpson was in a quandary After all the Saxons had lost a vast chunk of offense via graduation. Gone were an all­ state quarterback and his favorite receiver who between them had accounted for 1,000 yards in total offense. They had also lost an all-league fullback to boot. On defense, the entire secondary was gone. Only a couple of tackles, an end. and a linebacker remained "Realistically, things could have been better," admitted Simpson as he relaxed in the comfort of his office one recent af­ ternoon Things didn't improve at too rapid a pace for the Saxons as they managed only a split of their first four games. The potential season-crushing blow, however, was delivered in the fifth week of the season when Harper Creek squashed the sputtering Hastings team 25-6. Simpson knew at that point it was make or break time for his team. They could either roll over and play dead the rest of the year, or they could rise from their death bed and play football like he thought they were capable. As it turned out Hastings didn’t lose another game the rest of the year. Four times in the next four games the Saxons rallied in the fourth quarter to pull out wins over the likes of Albion, Hillsdale. Marshall and Delton. Now, looking back over the season, Simp­ son gives the Lion s share of credit for the turnaround to his players. "The critical game was the Harper Creek game.” says Simpson. "We had a big team meeting after that game, not a chew-out session, but a meeting to talk about our season at that point and what we were going to do about it. "Every day in practice we worked on our mental attitude. We knew we were going to have to perform to a challenge and that challenge was to win. We rose to the oc­ casion." When Simpson speaks of his coaching philosophy such words and phrases as "positive attitude." and "confidence," and "believing in oneself,” and "conditioning" seem to stick out. These are characteristics that Simpson and his staff try to instill in the players through a season They finally meant something to the Hastings team right about the time of the Harper Creek debacle, recalls Simpson. "There's more to sports than just the physical part. There's also the mental game," he contends. "An athlete has to get up mentally. We had to overcome seme adversity and we did it." ' Simpson says his team had something to prove a week after Harper Creek in the Saxons’ homecoming game with Albion. The confidence-building 14-7 win over the Wildcats catapulted Hastings to wins the next three weeks and saved the season. This fall was Simpson's third year on the varsity, but only his first year as head coach. He knew one of his toughest tasks would be to sell the players on his positive philosophy. "A coach lias to establish the kids un­ derneath him. He has to get the players to believe in him and in each other. ’ says Simpson. "I think we accomplished that.” Simpson says the year offered a few surprises the biggest of which was the play of his brand new defensive backfield. That crew only allowed 280 yards through the air. Passing teams such as Marshall (five completions in 23 attempts) and Hillsdale (three of 19) had it’s problems against the Saxon secondary. “Those kids really pulled through," says Simpson of his backfield. "There were a lol of passing teams in the Twin Valley, more so this year than in other years.” As for next year. Simpson admits that since the varsity compiled a 6-3 record and By David Storms Y Youth Council Director game thiXl." de'iVerS °ne °' Hi’ '° 'he H°S,in9! ,oo,ba" ,eam ?ri°r ” " (Bonner photo) the jayvee squad went Bl. mucn will be expected of the 19tu Hastings team He ex­ pects his team to be confident, but not over confident. I don t think that would ever happen " Simpson says plainly. "We don't treat anybody lightly. I won’t allow it to happen." It didn't happen this year for sure. Five Barry County schools suffer drop in enrollment by Steve Vedder All five high schools in Barry County have suffered a drop in enrollment over 1981 fourth Friday figures. According to Michigan High School Athletic Association (MHSAA) figures. Hastings suffered the largest drop in enrollment as it fell from 1,089 to 1,014. a loss of 75 students. The other four county schools also suffered a decrease in enrollments. Lakewood (840 to 799) and Middleville (606 to 565) each lost 41 students. Delton (704 to 693) lost 11 students and Maple Valley (523 to 516) lost seven. The losses in enrollment total 175 students for the five schools. Despite the enrollment decreases, none of the five schools will change classes in January. Hastings, Lakewood, Middleville and Delton will all remain class B schools while Maple Valley is still class C. In January, a class A school will be any school with an enrollment over 1,205, a class B school will be 627 to 1,204; a class C school 319 to 626; and a class D school will be anything under 319. The enrollment of 1,014 students at Hastings places them third highest in the Twin Valley. Only Jackson Northwest (1,115) and Coldwater (1.037) are larger. Other enrollment figures for the Twin Valley are Sturgis 918, Marshall 890, Harper Creek 879, Hillsdale 676, and Albion 674. Northwest is leaving the Twin Valley after this season. They will be replaced by Battle Creek Lakeview whose present enrollment stands at 1,151. Delton's enrollment makes them the largest school in the Kalamazoo Valley Association. Paw Paw is second with 677, Parchment is third with 632. Mattawan has 626, Kalamazoo Hackett 508, Kalamazoo Christian 452, Bangor 435, and Galesburg Augusta 403. Only Pennfield with 570 students has a larger enrollment than Maple Valley of Southern Michigan Athletic Association teams. Bronson is third biggest with 424, Bellevue has 347, Olivet 336, Springfield 317.’ and St. Philip has 169. Lakewood ranks second in enrollment in the Tri-River League. I owell leads the league in enrollment with 842 students. Saxon eagers end regular season with two wins The Hastings girls basketball team ended it's regular season with wins over Harner Creek, 69-37, and Albion, 65-50. Kelly Mogg scored 22 points and hauled down 24 rebounds to lead the Saxons over Harper Creek. Lori Teunessen added 13 points for Hastings. Hastings led 19-12 at the end of the first quarter and promptly increased it to 34-20 at the half. "Everybody scored and I thought we played excellent defense, shooting (51 per cent) and rebounding," said Saxon coach Pat Purgiel. “This was a real contrast from the Coldwater game.” Hastings had little trouble in outlasting Albion. The Saxons trailed 14-10 after one period but outscored the Wildcats 19-8 in the second quarter. Hastings outpointed Albion 18-16 in the third quarter, and then wrapped up the game with an 18-12 advantage in the final eight minutes. Mogg scored 27 points and collected 16 rebounds to lead Hastings. Teunessen added 12 points. Paula Atkinson, playing for the first time in four games, scored eight points and had seven rebounds. "I feel the team is peaking," said Purgiel. Hastings finishes the regular season with a 1? 4 record and a 10-4 Twin Valley finish. They open tournament play on November 20 at Delton against the winner of the DeltonWayland contest. The jayvee team defeated Albion 48-43 to finish with a 13-3 overall and 13-1 league record. Amy Atkinson led Hastings with 12 points and Laurie Snyder added 10.

Lakewood beat Cedar Springs 59-49 behind 20 points by Kristi Seese and 11 by Gina Thorp Michelle Behrenwald led the Viking rebounders with 19. Viking coach Ron Coppess said the key to the game was pressure defense by his team which enabled them to control the tempo of the game. A 22-point second quarter sealed the game for Lakewood. Fremont provided little problem for Lake wood as the Vikings topped them 52-39. Lakewood led at one point in the second quarter 18-2. "We were ready to do in that game." said Coppess. "There was no question what we were going to do in this game." Lakewood had a 52-17 rebounding ad­ vantage prompting Coppess to note, "We just stormed the boards " Liz Huyck led the Vikes with 11 points and Seese and Behrenwald added 10 each. The Lakewood bench scored a total of 16 points. The win left Uikewood with a 14-6 overall record and a 9-3 Tri-River mark. Greenville also finished 9-3 in the league. The Vikings will play a district game at Delton against Caledonia on November 19 at 7:30. Greenville is third with 740 students, Sparta has 736 students, Cedar Springs 726, Fremont 704, and Coopersville 665.

Hastings to make application to OK-Blue league Hastings superintendent Richard Guen­ ther has asked the Hastings School Board for permission to make a formal application for membership to the OK-Blue League. Hastings Athletic Director Bill Karpinski says the OK-Red. White and Blue con­ ferences are considering a reorganizing at this time, and might want to organize a fourth league. Karpinski says he has been in touch with conference representatives, but nothing is by any means definite. ‘They (the representatives) can't tel) us much right now. They're king ol vague," says Karpinski. An application from Hastings, says Karpinski, is an indication to the OK-Blue Conference that Hastings is serious about wanting to enter the league. He says Hastings, at this point, wouldn't even know what teams they would be playing against. “This is something we want to look into," says Karpinski of the move. "We want to see the posibilities and keep an open mind. We want to see what the advantages and disadvantages would be. They might not even want us." Karpinski noted it would lake at least two years before Hastings would be able to break Twin Valley ties and join any league.

Pier fishing on the St. Joseph River up to Pipestone Creek produced fair catches of steelhead. Most successful baits were spawn and nightcrawlers or hot-n-tots, flat fish and tadpollies. Galien River was also giving up some steelhead mostly on spawn. Prior to the rain storm of last week, limit catches of lake trout were taken off the rocks at Douglas Point near Saugatuck. In waterfowl news, harvest at the Fenn­ ville Farm Unit ended Sunday the 14th with 3472 geese taken and 1411 taken at the high banks for a total of 4883. Duck hunting continues at the Fennville Farm Unit with a daily drawing of 6 am with the regular closing time in the evening. Season will continue through November 28.

He shot the deer on state land off Woodschool Road. Banner photo Barry County outdoor news Those fishermen hardy enough to brave the elements are having success with bluegills on waxworms on Middle and Leach Lakes. Fishermen are also still hitting perch on Gun Lake. Overall, fishing pressure is extremely light as might be expected with the late fall weather. Some bass are being taken on spinner baits. Rabbit hunters are beginning to cash in on bunnies in brushy areas. One pair of hunters reported two rabbits after two hours hunting. Another pair of hunters reported seeing three rabbits and a grouse. Although pheasant numbers are down, a few hunters are coming across the oc­ casional bird. Don't overlook the brushy cover at the edge of roost fields Pheasants, when pressed, often seek out such heavy cover to better escape hunters. Grouse hunters continue to have trouble locating birds. However, encouraging reports are coming from private lands where the birds are less heavily hunted. The birds are now switching foods from gray dogwood to crab apples, grapes, and autumn olive. Migrating waterfowl are passing through the area now. Flocks ranging from 10 to over 100 birds have been found on several local lakes. However, they are quick to continue their migration south when pressed by hunters. Locally raised Canadian geese still remain in the area. They have left the lakes where they were raised and have flocked together in groups. Early morning and late evening they move out into farm fields to feed upon waste grain. With the combination of colder weather and the rut, deer are much more active now. Several proud bow hunters have scored in the final days of the early bow season, and prospects are very good for the firearm season. With the large deer herd hunters will be seeing many anllerless deer for each buck they see. Hunters are reminded to double check the boundaries of their hunters choice permits. You cannot shoot an antf.lerless deer outside your permit area. Veteran deer hunter Jerry Klinger of Delton bogged his biggest buck ever when he downed this 11-point beauty at 10 o.m. on opening day.

(Banner photo) Pheasant population down this year Last year, pheasant hunting was nothing to brag about, but this year is even worse. Very few pheasant hunters even bothered to hunt. Those that did rarely found pheasants. Several hunters with good dogs reported covering roost field after field through good looking habitat without flushing a bird. Deep snow and cold winters are fingered for the latest pheasant declines. Those pheasants that did not find their way to the farmer s corn crib or some other source of food not covered up by snow were in trouble. Last winter, pheasants were lost to star­ vation and predation when they ventured from cover to seek out food. Those dial did survive the winter are finding fewer and fewer good places to nest. Modern farming practices, the use of pesticides, and early hay mowing are making it tough for pheasants to nest. Those that do are bringing off fewer young to flying age. In the winter, pheasants need cover that will stand up to the snow and wind and also be close to a source of food. In the spring, they need good nesting fields, and in the summer, they need areas rich in insects where the chicks can find food. In the fail, they need roosting fields with plenty of cover to protect them from predators. Without this four-season com­ bination pheasant numbers will remain low. For any given area, usually no single factor explains why pheasant numbers are what they are. It is the combination of dif­ ferent things that do the pheasant in. If winter gives us a break, pheasants should increase again. However, the only way to good pheasant numbers is to provide for their needs year around.

(Bonner photo) �The Hostings Banner, Thursday, November 18. 1982 - Page 13 Auto Club’s ‘dirty dozen’ helps cars through winter season The following information is provided by the Automobile Club of Michigan. Anyone who can start a car can do a halfhour vehicle check which will help him or her sail through winter without facing a "can't start" engine, according to the Automobile Club of Michigan. "Motorists need to do preventive main­ tenance on their cars before temperatures drop to winter levels," said Robert Tellier. Auto Club’s Emergency Road Service manager "Half of all road service calls occur between December and March, and 80 percent of those calls are caused by vehicle neglect, not failure." Nearly one-third of Michigan motorists experience no-starts during winter and 60 percent of those have repeat problems. "We recommend a 12-point check which we refer to as the dirty dozen because anyone whu does all of them probably won't finish with clean hands," he expained. "The benefits of having a car in good running condition far outweigh the inconvenience of a little grime. "The 12 checks are simple enough to be done by anyone who can start a car," said Tellier. "For the cost of i eplacement parts or fluids needed plus a tire pressure gauge, screwdriver, hydrometer and baking soda, motorists can avoid more costly repairs." The Auto Club recommends motorists consult their Owner's Manuals to learn how to properly do these “dirty dozen" tasks: — Motor Oil—Check it each time the car is filled with gas. — Brake fluid—Keep the level within a quarter-inch of the top of the master cylin­ der. Use the screwdriver to pry off the one or two clips that hold the cover of the brake fluid chamber. —Windshield washer solvent—Keep the reservoir filled with solvent mixed to prevent freezing. — Antifreeze—Check its level and strength and inspect hoses and connections for leaks and weak spots. Do not check the radiator when the engine is hot. Use the hydrometer to check the strength of the antifreeze in the radiator. Check the fluid level in the radiator. The level can be checked visually in cars with overflow tanks. — Power steering fluid-Check the level on the dipstick (similar to the oil dipstick). Avoid overfilling by adding fluid gradually and checking the level each time. — Air filter—Hold the carburetor air filler up to the sun or next to a light. If you can’t see through it put in a new one. — Automatic transmission fluid—Check it with a dipstick located on most cars behind the engine on the passenger side of the car. The car should be parked on a level grade with the engine running. — Belts—Test the tension on the fan belt and look for fraying, glazing or cracking. Press your thumb on the middle of each belt. If the belt give more than a half-inch, tighten or replace it. — Battery terminals and cables—Use a baking soda and water solution to clean battery terminals and cables. Check battery fluid level. — Lights and turn signals—Turn on all lights and turn signals to make sure they work. — Tire pressure and tread wear—Use a ,’auge to check pressure in tires, including the spare. Inspect for tread wear. — Windshield wipers—Check for wear and cracks. Replace worn wipers. Motorists should check motor oil every time they fill the gas tank. Other checks should be made monthly. The procedures, except the automatic transmission fluid check, should be performed on a cold, non­ running engine. Auto Club statistics show half of all road service calls occur between December and March. Eighty percent of those calls are "can't starts," most often caused by vehicle neglect, not vehicle failure. Jim Gielarowski (left) owner of J & J Auto Service and Chris Hartman inspect a busted fan belt, a common problem whi»-H occurs during winter. Banner photo Local car experts offer advice Everyone agrees that winter, especially a Michigan winter, can be tough on cars. Road salts, arctic temperatures and glare ice all add to the rigors of midwestern existence, and contribute to the deterioration of cars. However, everyone who can drive a car has a different opinion as how to best deal with winter. And some cars stand up better to the challenge of winter than other cars. Snowstorm Kit Can Be a Lifesaver Beware of winter! Old Man Winter will soon be raising his hoary head, and motorists should take precautions to protect their cars, according to the Auto­ mobile Club of Michigan. Alert Thanksgiving driving will cut traffic deaths Michiganians can make this Thanksgiving the safest ever-and keep the state on course for its lowest yearly traffic death count since 1946- by skipping alcohol, wearing safety belts and staying alert when driving near home, reports the Automobile Club of Michigan. “Thanksgiving can be one of the deadliest times of the year," stated Robert Cullen, Auto Club’s Safety and Traffic Engineering manager. "Over the last decade, the Thanksgiving weekend averaged a significantly higher traffic fatality rate tnan the Christmas and New Year's periods." Since 1972, an average 25 persons 0ied annually on Michigan roads during the Thanksgiving holiday, compared to 18 over Christmas and 17 over New Year's. Motorists in Michigan are expected to travel 350 million miles during the 102-hour Thanksgiving holiday, which runs from 6 p.m. Wednesday to midnight Sunday (Nov. 24-28). The mileage figure is the same as last year. Last Thanksgiving holiday, 13 persons lost their lives on Michigan roads, the lowest total since 1972 when Michigan State Police began keeping records for the Thanksgiving holiday. “All but one of the fatal accidents accurred within 25 miles of the drivers’ homes and all but two happened in darkness," Cullen said. “Alcohol was known or suspected factor of three-fourths of the deaths." None of those killed in cars were known to be wearing safety belts and eight of the accidents happened on two-lane roads. Traffic fatalities this year are 14.5 percent below 1981 figures. If the decline continues, the death toll will be lowest since 1946, when 1,470 persons died in traffic accidents. A total of 1,175 persons have died in traffic accidents through Nov 10 compared to 1,362 for the same period last year. Auto Club anticipates some pockets of congestion on Thanksgiving Day (Nov. 25 • in Detroit for Santa s Thanksgiving Parade, which begins at 9:10 a.m. at Woodward and Putnam in front of the Detroit Institute of Arts. The 2.5-mile parade will continue on Woodward to Fort Street, where Santa will be welcomed in front of the Hudson's Department Store shortly before 11 a.m. More than 500,000 persons are expected to line the parade route to view the 17 floats, 15 marching bands and a host of clowns. Some areas of heavy traffic and deer hunters heading north for the final weekend of the firearm season. Major airlines report flights heavily booked the two days prior to the holiday and on Nov. 28 Despite a depressed economy, most airlines report bookings are up slightly this year, with Florida and Chicago among the most popular destinations. Airline spokespersons indicate there should be few traffic delays at Michigan's airports, but they advise travelers to be at the airport at least one hour prior to departure. Some congestion could develop near the Pontiac Silverdome if the professional football strike is settled and the Detroit Lions play their scheduled game against the New York Giants on Thanksgiving Day. Weather permitting, 14 of Michigan's 57 major ski areas may operate lifts over the Thanksgiving holidays. They include: UPPER PENINSULABriar Mt., near Vulcan; Cliffs Ridge, near Marquette; Pine Mt., near Iron Mountain; Ski Brule and Ski Homestead, both near Iron River.

To keep warm and safe during a severe winter storm until help arrives, the Auto­ mobile Club of Michigan urges motorists to assemble this Survival Kit. Only a corner of the trunk is needed for storage and most of the items probably can be found in motorists' homes. Total cost of the items is approximately $75. The coffee can furnace will generate emergency heat. Carpet strips, sand or tire chains can increase traction. Newspapers are great insulators next to skin under clothing. The Auto Club also recommends stranded motorists remain with their vehicles in a snowstorm rather than risk exposure while walking. GET READY FOR WINTER!

MICHIGAN AVE., HASTINGS HOURS: Monday thru Friday 7 a m. Saturday 7 a.rr 4 p.m. 6 p.m The following information is provided by the Automobile Club of Michigan. Most drivers do not take the time to ensure their cars will operate smoothly through the winter driving season, according to an Automobile Club «f Michigan survey. One or more maintenance deficiencies were found in 92 percent of 5,500 cars examined at 45 car care clinics held in Michigan last winter. The percentage of cars with deficiencies is up from the 79 percent found with problems in the club's 1979 check of 237 cars. “The average age of automobiles has increased to 6.8 years," explained Auto Club's Emergency Road Service manager Robert Tellier. "The older the car, the greater the chance of something going wrong with it." Tire pressure and windshield washer solvent levels were the most neglected items in the Auto Club survey. Each was found to be improperly maintained in 37 percent of the cars checked. Low tire pressure can reduce tire life and gas mileage. Windshield washer solvent removes salt build-up which can hamper or totally eliminate visibility. Thirty percent of the cars were low on motor oil, a problem which can cause engine failure. Twenty-eight percent had low brake fluid and antifreeze levels, neglected maintenance which could make brakes and the engine fail. The survey also showed: 27 percent needed a new air filter. 12 percent were low on pow er steering fluid. Motorists can correct those and other problems by following the maintenance procedures spelled out in their owner's manuals. You Love Your Car...

"Nobody wants to get stuck someplace." Jack Echtinaw of Echtinaw's Service points out the importance of checking all lights on a car. “People drive at night more in the winter so it’s important all their lights work," he notes. Echtinaw agrees that tires are an im­ portant aspect of winter driving and he advises a periodical check of tires for nails, tread and air pressure. Also a car battery should be kept at full­ strength. Echtinaw says a 2-3 year old battery, if it does run low, should be put on a slow charge when recharged. A newer battery can be charged much quicker. He also advises checking the thermostat and exhaust system and to get a tune up.

Saturday 9 to 4 - SERVICE - "Anything that can go wrong in the summer is worse in winter,” notes Jim Gielarowski, owner of J&J Auto Service. Gielarowski suggests a complete car check up. He advises drivers to check hoses and belts for cracking or stiffness. "Get a tune up before winter," he says, "Without a tune up, you can put an extra strain on the battery.” And speaking of battery, Gierlowski says his shop will perform a drain test for$l. To protect againsts road salts, Gielarowski suggests a good coat of wax, or even rust­ proofing. Other suggestions from Gielarowski: an oil change, and a good multi-grade oil (10W-40), tires with good tread and a check of the brakes. "Brakes are especially important on icy roads," he says. Bob Goodrich of Renner Ford ssuggests you should follow.the same steps he does for his own car each year: “Checks for hardness in the radiator hose, and cracks in the heater hose, check all fluids, check the cooling system for cleaness (if it's dirty, clean it with a chemical flush), and check the thermostat. To protect your car's body, Goodrich suggests you keep it washed and waxed, and take care to wash under the fenders. Randy Frantz of Frantz Buick-Chevrolet says it's important to have a mechanic check your transmission before winter sets in. “People get stuck in the snow, and have a tendency to rock themselves out. That can be hard on an automatic transmission," says Frantz. "It’s something most people don’t think about until they have an expensive tran­ smissionjob," he says, noting that the cost of new fluid and a filter can run from $25 to $40 for most vehicles. Frantz also advises a tune up, wiper blades, and new anti-freeze. Barie Signs, of Signs Tire, believes a radiator check is a critical part of win­ terizing a car. A radiator should be flushed and filled with anti-freeze to 30 degrees below zero Signs says another key part of winterizing a car is to properly care for the tires. Air condenses in the winter, thus tire checks must be conducted more often in colder weather. Signs says car tires can lake as many as 35 pounds of pressure this time of the year. A car's exhaust system should also be watched, says Signs, because of the ad­ ditional time it spends idling in liie cold weather. Other facils of winterizing a car include charing of the battery. All belts should be snug because a loose belt can mean an ad­ ditional strain on the battery. Water should be all the way to the top of the battery “It pays to do all these things in October," ESTIMATES in our Body Shop • COLLISION • INSURANCE REPAIR • GLASS REPAIR • all types of body work • used car restoration i For SERVICE ...

Dr. Donald Weston, dean of the Michigan State University College of Human Medicine, said at a meeting of the Barry County Medical Society, that the transition of medical students into the real world gels a good start in Hastings. Weston was the featured speaker at the November 22 dinner of the Barry’ County Medical Society, held in the Physician's Center Dr. Weston, who received his M.D. degree from the University of Southern California and trained at Los Angeles Children’s Hospital, came to Michigan in 1968 as the chief of child and adolescent services. Community Mental Health Center, at St. Lawrence Hospital ir. Lansing. He joined MSU in 1970 and was appointed dean of its Medical School in 1977. In looking toward the future. Weston said that the responsibility of medicine is to be responsive to the needs of the people in its region. 'Medicine is both science and art. and the art side is a human side," Weston added. The dean told the local physicians that the students are getting their introduction to the human side of medicine at Pennock Hospital, i'he hospital serves as the Hastings campus for the MSU medical school. Under the directorship of MSU graduate Dr James Weatherhead, who was coor dinator for five years, and the current coordinator. Dr. James Spindler, the six year program has seen nearly 50 medical students advance in their education. Two of them. Dr. Steve Wilder and Dr. Lee Stuart, have returned and are now members of the Pennock staff. Money shuffle raises Hastings school budget by Steve Vedder and Robert J. Johnston State book juggling has given the Hastings schools a bonus of $115,000, but the surplus is not likely to last long. The Hastings Board of Education, Monday evening, approved a new budget total raised to $6,734,828. up from $6,395,392. Expenses were changed to $6,617,5+’. up from $6,374,945. The net difference will raise the school's cash balance by $115,000, Richard Guenther, superintendent of schools, said. Because a state aid cut of $115,000 was expected in June, but didn’t come, it changed the anticipated receipts. Guenther ex­ plained. On the other hand, he continued, the state did cut $37,000 in aid in August, and delayed another $146,000 payment until June. On the expense side, the budget was raised because a higher than expected pupil count required an additional two and one-half teaching positions. 188 additional adult education pupils also required more staff in that program. Guenther said. "We’re in a situation of budget manipulation between fiscal years," Guenther said. "We're not getting any more money, it's just a matter of when we re going to get it." The board accepted an “Early Retirement Incentive Plan" for central office ad­ ministrators at its meeting on November 22 at Pleasantview School. Guenther said a similar program accepted by two teachers saved close to $10,000. The program is now being offered to school ad­ ministrators. The administrators' incentive calls for severance pay plus $4,000 on July 1. 1983 and $4,000 on July 1. 1984. Any school administrator interested in the program must make a decision to retire by­ June 30, 1983 and must indicate his intentions to the board by December 15, 1982. The board okayed formal application to the OK Athletic Conference. The application simply means that Hastings, by making a formal application, wants to show the OK Conference it has an interest in being ac­ cepted into the league. According to Guenther, the move basically is dictated by travel costs. Il doesn't mean Hastings will be leaving the Twin Valley. ’The Twin Valley is an outstanding con­ ference and I happen to know all the people at those schools personally." said Guenther. "This (the switching of leagues) is just something to look into. If we could join with other schools around here it could cut our travel costs." In other moves at the meeting, the board okayed tuition charges for the 1982-83 year remain the same as 1981-82. Tuition for grades K-6 are $400.00 and grades 7-12 are $475.00 per pupil. The board also granted a leave of absence for fourth grade teacher Joy McNab. AmyVogt was recalled to replace McNab.

Price 20e Thursday, November 25,1982 Council committee and attorneys will study ideas for Hastings city charter changes By Elaine Gilbert Recommendations for possible changes in Hastings 28-year old city charter will be studied by a committee approved by council members Monday night. The committee is charged with recom­ mending charter changes to the courftil that would be in the form of advisory questions to serve as guidelines for revision if voters eventually approve setting up a commission to tackle charter revamping. Serving on the study committee will be Mayor Kenneth J Howe, City Attorney Richard Shaw, Assistant City Attorney Larry Ainslie, and members of the council's city planning and ordinance committee who are council members David Jasperse, Mary Lou Gray, Mary Spackman and Gordon Bennett. The committee will report its recommendations to the council at its January 24 meeting. The city attorney's office has recom­ mended updating and streamlining the city charter which it believes has become an­ tiquated and superceded in part by changes in state and federal laws and court decisions. In discussion Monday nighL Mayor Howe said he felt it was the proper time to consider a charter revision due to the age of the current charter, changes on the state and federal level, and the growing complexities of city government. Councilman William Cook said, "I think its a good idea. The charter needs revision and I would like to see it." Cook suggested that recommendations be made to go on the ballot as advisory questions pertaining to charter changes. “There's no need to come up with one (a revised charter) that the people are not in favor of," he said. Jasperse agreed. “It’s something we ought to do." he said, adding that he wouldn't want to set an election date until advisory­ questions could be studied. Voters will have the ultimate decision on whether the city charter will be revised, should the council decide to put the question on the ballot. Voters also would elect a ninei.>ember charter commission to work on a revision. Once completed, the revised charter must be approved by voters before it can become effective. Ainslie told the council Monday night that there are many options that can be con­ sidered in revising a charter. He said the charter could be changed to limit or expand the powers of mayor, shift the ad­ ministrative burden in city government, and make other structural changes. Howe, in an interview Tuesday, also talked of the many variables that an elected cnarter commission can consider. “That's why it’s important that very responsible citizens should be elected to it," he said. Possible charier changes that can be considered run the gamut from im­ plementing a city manager form of govern­ ment, abolishing wards, increasing or decreasing ward representation, reverting to partisan politics, or adopting a strong mayor form of government, he said. He also noted that the charter commission could make certain revisions but decide to keep the same form of government that is currently in operation. Howe said “94 percent of Michigan towns have a city manager form of government," adding that the charter commission may decide that it might be time for Hastings to change to that form. With daily city government operation becoming more complex, he said, “it takes a great deal of expertise on a day-to-day basis to react to decisions that have to be made," he said. Howe said he believes the charter com­ mission “should have a complete free hand to study all approaches" and said he is somewhat concerned that the commission might be restricted by advisory questions. “I favor keeping advisory questions to a minimum so the commission can operate with proper responsibility," he said. In other business, Monday, the council granted permission for the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce to hold its annual Christmas parade downtown at 7 p.m. Friday. December 3. The council also ap­ proved bagging parking meters from 6-8 p.m. that night to keep cars from parking along the parade route to enhance the safety of spectators. Mrs. Haines resigns as Hastings City Treasurer By Elaine Gilbert Even a broken arm hasn't kept Phyllis Haines away from her desk where she works as city treasurer for Hastings. But.

On ’° ’h° “Un,y °ro (,rom le"> dub County board commends Thornapple Garden Club Over the years, trains have brought many "greats" to Nashville — including Teddy Roosevelt — and carried away immense loads of local products and commodities, especially lumber and maple sugar. In 1881 alone. Nashvi.Je shipped by rail 145,476 pounds of sugar, more than any other town in Michigan. Trains brought goods and services to the village — stock for merchants' shelves, traveling troups of actors, and itinerant salesmen. The railroad provided employement for many local people: farmers who sold wood to feed the hungry locomotives; section crews to keep the lines in good repair, ticket agents; freight clerks; and the independent draymen. Trains carried local boys off to war and occasionally brought home the body of a fallen soldier. The rails were a link to the outside world for rural folks who boarded trains bound for the county fair, shopping in the city, or far-flung adventure in the new western frontier. All that lias gone ty the way many years ago, but last week's removal of the rail crossings made the passing of the era seem more final. In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Thornapple Garden Club, members have gifted Barry County with two large Christ­ mas wreaths to decorate the courthouse doors during the holiday season. In turn. I he county board Tuesday passed a resolution commending the Thornapple Garden Club on the occasion of its 50th anniversivery and extended "with ap­ preciation. wishes for the future involvement and enrichment of its members in present and future years. The resolution, signed by Board Chairman Kenneth R. Radant, noted the many projects undertaken by the members of the garden club. They include planting flower gardens for the original landscaping of the grounds at Pennock Hospital, as well as flowers and landscaping at Tyden Park. Charlton Park. Provincial House, the Barry County Medical Care Facility, and the Barry County Cour­ thouse grounds. Mention also was made of the Thornapple Garden Club's other endeavors like assisting children of 4-H at county fairs, donating scholarships to the Michigan Conservation School, planting trees at Charlton Park, conducting an annual greens sale, and "many other worthwhile civic projects for the enjoyment and betterment of BarnCounty." The club will hold its upcoming "Santa's Greenery Sale" from 9a.m. to5 p.m. Friday. December 3 at the American Legion Hall in Hastings. The event features a variety of holiday centerpieces and arrangements of fresh greens that members have made.

The passing of trains from the Nashville scene marks the end of an era which com­ menced 113 years ago when the first train puffed into town on the new Grand River Valley line. That event heralded un­ precedented growth for the fledgling village — triggering a building boom which saw 75 structures erected within 10 months of the railroad's debut in Nashville. Within a decade of the train's first arrival, the population of the village soared from 641 to 1,028. GRVRR, then Michigan Central and later New York Central, served as a lifeline to Nashville for at least three-quarters of a century before autos and trucks gradually replaced the need for daily freight and passenger trains.

Nonetheless, however valid our reasons for doing this, it is always a terrible mistake; for aside from its being dishonest, it is nearly impossible to sustain this illusion for very long. Moreover, even if we could, it would lead us down some paths that we would surely regret later on when the iruth begins to surface, as it always does eventually; and we must then pay a high price for our deception. The lessons of faith teach us to be honest about ourselves at all times; and that the job, friend, date, club membership or whatever that we cannot obtain by being truthful is not worth having. So follow your faith, attend your House of Worship and above all, be yourself. You will even likeyourself better, just as vou are. DELTON ■ Mr. Richard E.

Thursday, November 25, 1982 — Page 5 Michigan students score higher than national average on second college test The 70.000 Michigan high school students who took the American College Test (ACT* last year had a composite score that was higher than lhe national average, according to the State Board of Education. It is the second lime in a week that lhe Slate Board has received word that Michigan students scored above the national average on a national college entrance examination. Last week, lhe College Board announced results of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and lhe 14.000 Michigan students who took that test scored considerably higher than the national average. State Superintendent of Public Instruction Phillip E Kunkel said he was "pleased but not surprised" by the scores of Michigan students who took the ACT and SAT tests. "Historically, lhe scores of Michigan students who take these two national college entrance exams have been higher than the national average for both tests," Runkel said. He also noted that the ACT is taken by five limes as many Michigan students as the number who take the SAT because the ACT is used by the Stale Board of Education to determine eligibility for a Slate of Michigan scholarship. All Michigan colleges accept the ACT score for college admission while the SAT is generally required only by colleges in the eastern part of the United States. Disability doesn’t stop Hastings man from leading normal life Five years ago there was nothing unusual about Doug Slocum's life There was a wife, a couple of sons, a job. a dog. the whole bit. Nothing out of lhe or­ dinary. Everything was black and while. Then came lhe accident. Slocum's motorcycle slammed into a selfpropelled combine breaking his back and severely dislocating his neck. He was left as a paraplegic An accident such as that would naturally l>e expected Io change a person's life a great deal. But Slocum didn't want the accident to alter his life, and today he still does some of the same things lie did before the accident. "Actually I can’t find many things I can't do If I set my mind to it." says Slocum, who lives with his wife and (son outside of Hastings on North Broadway. "Usually if I sit and think about it or sleep on it. I can find a way to do things." Slocum. 34. has found a way to do a great many things. From his wheelchair Slocum Doug Slocum likes to do woodworking projects. Dennis Havens enters heart surgeons’ practice Dennis L. Havens. M.D., son of Betty and Alvy Havens of Hastings, recently joined a team of heart surgeons in Lexington, Ky., and will practice cardio-thoracic surgery there. Dennis graduated from Hastings High School in i960 where he was active in football and basketball and was president of the student council in his senior year. He graduated from lhe University of Michigan School of Medicine in 1968. After two years in the U.S. Air Force, he com­ pleted his internship and residency in general surgery at the University of Ken­ tucky Medical Center in 1975. He then en­ tered private practice in general surgery in Ashland, Ky., and remained there until 1980. He then moved to Albuquerque and com- Gospel film showing at Gull Lake The Gul) Lake Bible Church will show the gospel film, "The Image of the Beast”, on Sunday, Nov. 21 al 6 p.m This film protrays world conditions at lhe time of Jesus Christ’s return to earth.

Slocum says he didi.'l have much choice but to find a way to cut the wood. The eight-foot long logs are laid on lhe ground and Slocum simply goes along and cuts them .at short intervals and then pushes them aside. "I can't see somelody else doing the work when I can do it," he says of cutting the wood. "It makes me mad sometimes when it takes mean hour Iodo what I used to do in 10 minutes." When he's not culling up logs Slocum finds time to make leather belts and several wood artifacts including a coat rack . Slocum says he likes puttering around in that type of work. "It's nothing too serious. The work load isn't very heavy and 1 just enjoy doing it." he says. He helped to remodel his kitchen by rip­ ping out old dry wall, but now admits with a smile, "That was more supervisory than anything." It's obvious that Slocum has dealt with being a paraplegic. He says his attitude after the accident even amazed the doctors. "It wasn't anybody’s fault.” he says of lhe crash "It just happened. II doesn't do any good to lay blame anywhere." Slocum says he spent three weeks in an intensive care unit and then three months in lied. By that time Christmas was ap­ proaching. and Slocum told the nurses he'd lie out of the hospital by the time it arrived. Slocum was right. He left the hospital several days before Christmas. Slocum says he didn't want lhe operations of his family to be effected by the accident. He wanted Io do the same things with his boys dial he always did "Andi still do most of lhe same things." he points out. "I can't do some of the things anymore, but if that happens we look for something we can do." He usually doesn't have to look very far.

November 25. 1982 — Page 6 Pennock Hospital receives award by educators (Editor's note: Due to a communications error, the following story which took place in May was just received by The Banner. Despite its lack of timeliness, we felt it merited publication). Richard Fluke accepts an award from Edith Swanson, vice-president of the Michigan Education Association. Pennock Hospital received one of three "Business, Labor, and Industry Awards" presented this year by the Michigan Education Association. Richard Fluke, hospital administrator, accepted the award on behalf of all Pennock employees at the annual awards banquet held on May 21 at the Flint Hyatt Regency. The Hastings Education Association nominated Pennock Hospital for the award because the hospital has had a unique "open door’ policy to Hastings students of all ages for the past 15 years. Programs that were cited in the nomination included the “Second Graders Hospital Week"; hosting Future Medical Careers Club, and Science and Biology Club projects and activities; providing op­ portunities for Candy Stripers and Junior Volunteers; cooperation in the development of curriculum and hospital experiences for vocational nursing students; providing supervised work experiences for vocational and special education students, as well as adult education students; and providing many career education services as well as access to their employees through speakers’ bureaus and video-taping of many types of hospital workers while on the job. In addition to providing expert con­ sultation services for programs, the hospital has established a special guild of volunteers to help with childrens' tours; they have donated much equipment to the school for science classes and helped equip the vocational nursing lab and provided disposable equipment including free and introducing the little package with the big surprise: $1,000,000. continuous linen service for the classes. Audio-visual materials have also been shared with the schools. To make the nomination, a booklet was prepared from past Hastings Reminder and Hastings Banner photos. The theme "Pen­ nock Hospital is a place to...." was used. Since 1973 over 2.400 second graders have been invited to tour the hospital to learn that Pennock is a place to learn about health careers, to have a "hands-on" examination of special hospital equipment, and to reduce fear of hospitalization. There are 450 employees at Pennock in 101 separate job classifications. Children learn there are many careers in the hospital besides "doctor" and "nurse." Samples of special equipment that children get to try out first hand include stethoscopes and blood pressure cuffs, wheelchairs, hospital beds and steam tents. Also, since 1973 more than 800 high school and adult education students have had the opportunity to observe in all the special hospital departments and share in patient care during clinical rotations. Fluke was accompanied to Flint by his wife, JoAnn, and then-officers of’ the Hastings Education Association. Jan Drolan and Mariam Sorby "I talk to school nurses all over the state, so I know how unique Pennock Hospital is with their "open door" policy," Mrs. Sorby. former school nurse said. "We are indeed privileged to have such a hospital in our community." Thornapple Kellogg students inprove on state assessment test Thornapple Kellogg students continued to show overall improvement on the Michigan Assessment Test for 1982. The Michigan Assessment Test is designed to measure minimum competency in math and reading at the fourth, seventh and tenth grade levels. The strongest gains were «n seventh grade math and reading and fourth grade reading. Slight declines from last year’s test were registered in tenth grade math and reading and fourth grade math. Tony McLain, coordinator of the Michigan Assessment Test at Thomapple Kellogg noted that the slight declines aren’t a major concern. "Our overall trend is upward", he noted, "and once you start scoring near the top of the test, minor fluctuations like these are to be expected." Student achievement is categorized into four levels with students in the highest level achieving at least 75 percent of the ob­ jectives. To show overall improvement, 1982 scores were compared to 1974 scores (the first year of test implementation) and in most areas, T.K. students made considerable gains. At the fourth grade level in 1974 only 50.3 per­ cent of the students achieved the highest level in reading with 83.5 percent of the students achieving that level in 1982. This year’s fourth grade math scores showed a slight decline as 79.1 percent of the students were in the highest level in 1974 with 75.7 percent achieving that level this year. In seventh grade reading in 1974, only 50.7 percent of T.K. students were in the highest level of reading, while the 1982 scores had 95.5 percent of T.K. students achieving at the highest level. Another important figure, in reading, McLain noted, was the fact that in 1974, 23.2 percent of T.K. students scored in the lowest category while today no students were listed in the lowest category. Math scores continued to rise at the seventh grade with 75.5 percent of the students achieving at the highest level when only 50 percent attained that level in 1974. The testing at the tenth grade level started in 1979 but in those four years the tenth grade reading scores have improved from 60.7 in the highest castegory to 75.7 now in the highest category. Tenth grade math scores in 1979 had 49.7 percent of the students in the highest level with 62.8 percent achieving that distinction in 1982. "The trend in lest improvement reflects the schools emphasis on the basics, McLain said. “Since the test is concerned with minimum skill levels, it doesn't measure the large percentage of our students who are well beyond this testing level, but it does show that our emphasis on the basics for all students is working.” "While these test scores look good to us, we still feel we can make improvements and the curriculum council will be examining these scores in the near future to see how we can best improve our schools' delivery system."

Farm price lower, government reports The index of Prices Received by Michigan farmers for all farm products averaged 120 percent of its 1977 base for the month ending August 15. The monthly index dropped six percent from the previous month, according to the Michigan Agricultural Reporting Service (Federal-Slate). Farm prices were also down 8 percent from a year ago. The Index of Prices Paid by farmers. Nation­ wide. for commodities and services, interest, taxes and farm wages for August was 156 percent of its 1977 base. The prices farmers paid was unchanged from July as price in­ creases for feeder livestock and building materials were offset by price decreases for feed and fuels. For individual commodities, major declines were noted for corn, oats, dry beans, soybeans, potatoes and eggs. Winter wheat, steers and heifers were down slightly. Stronger prices were quoted for calves and hogs. Slaughter cows, milk and hay were unchanged from July. Nationally, the August Index of Prices Received by farmers decreased 1 point (.7 percent) from July Io 135 percent of its 1977 average. Contributing most to lhe decrease since July - were lower prices for corn, soybeans, lettuce, potatoes and broilers. Higher prices for oranges, hogs, tobacco, cotton and milk were partially offsetting. The index was 3 points <2.2 percent) below a year ago. Probably no person in history has lent their name to a furniture style, or rather a variety of styles, over such a long period of time, as Queen Victoria of England. From 1837 to 1901, she presided over a rapidly changing world. Railroads, steamships, and overland routes gave more people access to manufactured products. In America, population expanded rapidly and industrialization swept forward. There were machine woven carpets and textiles for upholstery, tapestries, and clothing; roller printed wallpaper, pattern molded glass, beautifully executed art glass; electroplated tableware, and a host of ob­ jects to fill the home. Tradition was "out the window” and a decline in taste followed, as believed by the purists, who disliked the fancy "curli-cues” added to furniture lines. As years passed, critics mellowed. In furniture, mechanism made possible more forms and cheaper products than ever before. The circular saw, though known in the 18th century, came slowly into use. The Shakers of Watervliet. N.Y. were said to employ it as a novelty in 1821, but by 1830 it was used widespread. After the mid-century, the circular saw was widely used. Apart from fast and fine cuts for all work, it made thinner and larger veneers possible. An English patent for band saws was issued in 1808 but became practicable about 1850. This period also incorporated efficient fret-cutting machinery. This was the beginning of power wood carving. The 1830s had already seen a movement away from Greek Revival in architecture, and Empire designs in furniture. Designs in the "new" Gothic taste emerged as early as 1808, but for 20 years, lay dormant. Pointed arches reminiscent of church windows began to appear primarily in chair backs, table skirts, and other forms. Notwithstanding industrialization, it was a romantic era, and the inspiration and need for new furniture designs reached back to other earlier styles. Renaissance motifs were introduced, with crests or rounded pediments enclosing a cartouche, applied carved medallions of fruit, or busts of people or animals. Elizabethan times were recalled by spiral twists on legs and supports. The power lathe could make these as weil as other rounded parts which were split and applied. Spool beds are good examples of what the new machines made so easily. When Phineas T. Barnum promoted the successful American tour of Jenny Lind in 1850-52, many products were named after her. The spool beds came to be known as "Jenny Lind" beds. Perhaps truest to its origin was the revival interest in rococo. Cabriole legs and struc­ tural elements were back, as were naturalistic carved borders of fruit and flowers. Handles of drawers in bunches of grapes were prominent. Frequently, Gothic, Renaissance, Elizabethan and rococo were combined in a melange of forms. This was indicative of the our bank.

Strutbrr Ft>IC by Catherine Lucas Mr. and Mrs. Roger Buxton recently returned from a one-week trip to Florida. Georgia and Tennessee. They left the Woodland area on Saturday taking Mrs. Hilda Jones, who is Mrs. Buxton's mother, and their daughter, Ann. with them in their van. After spending a night at Chattanooga, Tenn., they arrived at Lakeland, Fl. on Sunday. They spent Monday at Disney World's new Epcot Center. Edith said that this was a fascinating place and is more like a world's fair than an amusement park. On Tuesday, they returned as far north as Atlanta. Ga.. where Mr. Buxton attended a five-day convention of the Associated School Business Organization at the Atlanta World Congress Center. The keynote speaker at lhe convention was Rich DeVos of Amway at Ada. Mrs. Buxton said that families were encouraged to attend major interest parts of the convention, and that she and Ann at­ tended Mr. DeVos' talk and enjoyed it. On days when Edith and Ann did not wish to attend the convention meetings, they went sight-seeing in the city and shopping in Atlanta's suburban malls. Ann and Edith spent one day in Chattanooga, Tenn., where Ann purchased new items for her Tack Shac!: business here in Barry County. The Buxtons returned to their home on Carlton Center Road the following weekend. Eugene and Frances Reuther and Vernon and Phyllis Baitinger spent Sunday af­ ternoon going to the Lansing Mall in Lansing to see the Anheuser-Bush Clydesdale team that was displayed there. These horses were scheduled to be in a parade in East Lansing on Saturday, but were rained out of that parade. They will be in the Detroit area later this week for a Thanksgiving parade. Despite Thanksgiving being on Thursday, the Woodland Co-op will be open to members both Friday and Saturday this week during the regular hours. Non-members are always welcome to visit and inquire about mem­ bership. The special thank offering service at Zion Lutheran Church with guest pastor Maurice Ngakane (prounced Nee-kan-ee) was well attended Sunday morning. He was ac­ companied by his wife. Nomsa, and their two youngest children, a daughter, Coretta, and a son. Solo. Following the service Zion Lutheran members held a potluck dinner in the building both to honor lhe guest speaker and to have a family craft day. Mrs. Viola Cunningham demonstrated several different craft kits for making wreaths, and many families made wreaths for their homes under her direction. Sunday evening. Rev. Ngakane spoke at the Woodland Community Thanksgiving Service at lhe Woodland United Methodist Church. This service had a combined choir from Woodgrove Brethren Christian Parish Church. Woodland United Methodist Church, and Zion Lutheran Church which was led by­ Rich Ream of Woodgrove Church, who played the piano, and Ann Slowins of Woodland United Methodist Church, was the organist for the service. Rev. Connie Hefflefingerand Rev. Pamela Owens assisted in the service, and Jeanette Markwart and Arlen Heise read scripture. A social hour followed the service so that everyone who was able to attend the service was able to speak to Minister Ngakane, who is originally from South Africa and now serving an in­ ternship in Grand Rapids. Mr. and Mrs. Glendon Curtis held an early family birthday dinner for her mother, Mrs. Lucy Classic, on Sunday at their home in Woodland. Those who attended were Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Classic and Mr. and Mrs. Galen Kilmer from Woodland, Mr. and Mrs. Duan>? Clum of Howel), Mr. and Mrs Gregory Clum and Jessica of Howell, and Mr. and Mrs. Tony Curtis from Jackson. Michael Curtis called from San Diego, California, to wish her grandmother an early happy birthday. Mrs. Classic's birthday is on Thanksgiving this year The Woodland Senior Citizen Nutritional Center meal will be ham on Wednesday to celebrate Thanksgivjng. A Friday meal will be served. Everyone over 60 is welcome and can make reservations by calling Mrs. Galen Kilmer. These meals are served in the Woodland Eagles Club building. nation's new wealth and its ability to spend. Toward the end of the century, a reaction set in with the clean lines of Eastlake, and about 1895, Mission style and golden oak took over lhe trend. Other woods used during this period were rosewood, mahogany and walnut. Velvet, satin, brocatel and damask were used for upholstery — but longwearing. slippery horsehair (from the mane and tail of horses, and combined with linen) was a trademark of lhe limes. As incomes increased, our forebearers, always anxious to impress, adopted French terms — "armoires” for cupboards, "Cheval" glass for swinging mirrors, “etagere" for large what-nots. The etagere was originated in the 1840s, and ranged from simple wall hanging types, to fancy, delicately carved and mirrored four to six foot tall open shelved stands, with fancy cabriole legs. On these were proudly displayed beautiful art glass, ornate silk fans, delicate mechanical music boxes, and all the affectional "clutter” so prominent in the Victorian era. > Everything was growing, and elegance was in vogue. The people demanded beauty in all aspects of their lives — from heavy, colorful velvet window dressings, long tasselled servant bell pulls, dainty silk parasols, ornate carriages and beautiful dining accessories. They lived in large, highceilinged houses and rushed to fill them with large eclectically designed furniture that was handsome. These are the beautifully upholstered velvet and brocade furniture pieces we avidly search for today in our quest for the old and beautiful mementos of yesteryear.

Kilpatrick United Brethren Church Missionary Society hosted a thank offering supper and service Sunday evening at the church to honor United Brethren Evangelical missionary Kathy Custer, who has recenlty returned from serving as a mission secretary in Sierra Leone, Africa. She lias been there since 1977. The supper was made from African recipes and was a sweet potato salad and a main dish of rice, vegetables, and chicken. Bananas baked with lemon juice and coconut was the dessert, but that was not very well liked by lhe group. Miss Custer talked about her years in Africa after the dinner, and she showed a map of Africa and a larger one of Sierra Leone, which is on the west coast of Africa. Sierra Leona is about the size and somewhat the shape of S. Carolina. Kathy is a native of Sunfield, but her parents. Mr. and Mrs. Roscoe Custer, now reside in Lake Odessa. She is the sister of Mrs. Duane Schaibly of Woodland. Kathy is now working at mission headquarters in Huntington, IN. A puppet skit about what we have to be thankful for was presented by Sheila and Nancy Carter. This skit was written by Thelma Schaibly especially for the Kilpatrick puppeteers. A great many families are planning Thanksgiving family reunions. Mr. and Mrs. George Speas and Beth plan to join other members of his family at the heme of his mother. Mrs. Doriene DeMond of Hastings.

But if Michigan wants to keep its share of the business, Dr. Glenn C. Loury says it must provide “an economic environ­ ment in which businessmen per­ ceive that it’s in their interest to invest their money as opposed to some other plate.” According to Dr. Loury', that means improving Michigan's tax environment and reforming its expensive work­ men’s compensation system. Dr. Loury recently joined Harvard University’s economics faculty after teaching at the University of Michigan. He has been a consultant to the Federal Trade Commission and the Rockefeller Foundation, and a visiting scholar at three overseas universities, including Oxford. His view's on Michigan’s economy appeared in a recent issue of "Focus: Views on Energy,” a magazine published by Consumers Power Company. Dr. Loury says that Michigan already has a number of strong selling points. Among them he cites a highly-skilled work force, abundant water supplies and reliable energy. "Compared to most other states. Michigan is very well off indeed," he says of energy. "It hits extensive storage facilities that enable it to keep gas flowing when other states are having trouble. Back in the awful winter of 1976-77, Ohio suffered more than 150.000 long-term lav-offs because of interruptions in the deliveries of industrial gas.” He says the interruptions cost Ohio more than $200 million in lost business. "During that same winter, there wasn’t any interruption in industrial gas deliveries in Michigan. None at all.” Dr. Loury says. “That should speak volumes Dr. Clenn C. Loury to businessmen thinking of locating here.” Michigan also is strung in another part of the energy picture that Dr. Loury' regards as extremely important—nuclear power. There are three nuclear plants operating in Michigan; two more are under construction. “America has a great need for nuclear power.” Dr. Loury' says. “We simply cannot satisfy all of our energy requirements without it. That’s an economic truth we cannot ignore. When you con­ sider the long-term growth of the American economy. it would be a serious economic mistake to abandon our invaluable nuclear resources.” But the most immediate part of Dr. Loury’s prescription for economic health is lor the state’s residents to pull together. He says. The people of Michigan must recognize that we re all in this together—that we must find a way of making compatible our individual interests without undercutting the overall in­ terests of the state as a whole.” This advertisement is paid for by the shareholders of Consumers Power Comapany. 20-36-234-C �The Hostings Bonner.

But it was above Ine $7,123 average of 1977. A Michigan veteran applied for his old job when he left the service, but his former employer said there were no job openings A Dallas veteran claimed he was fired because of his service-related disability. Veterans’ organizations in San Antonio. Philadelphia and Washington. D C. wanted funds to provide employment and training aid ior their contituents The needs of these people and organizations were met because of Labor Department programs which assist veterans. The programs seek to assure that all veterans who want jobs can find them, and (hat rights earned through military service are safeguarded. The Michigan veteran was awarded $19,318 in back pay by a Michigan court. The court ruled the employer had violated the veterans' reemployment rights law. The veteran did not request reinstatement in his old job The Dallas veteran, who had injured his shoulder in the military service, filed a complaint against his employer under a law which forbids employers with federal con­ tracts or subcontracts from firing veterans because of such disabilities. In settling the complaint, the veteran received $5,000 and did not seek to return to his old job. The Labor Department awarded grants of $250,000 to the National American G.I. Porum of San Antonio. $150,000 to the United Veterans Council of Philadelphia, and $166,230 to the Blinded Veterans Association of Washington, D.C., this year to provide jobrelated services. Labor Secretary Raymond J. Donovan, in a Veterans Day speech, noted that President Reagan has appointed the first assistant secretary of labor for veterans' employment, William C. Plowden. Jr., and said the Labor Department has "aspecial obligation to help veterans make the transition back to civilian life.” The Department's services to veterans include: —The Job Service, with more than 2,000 offices across the country, gives veterans priority in interview ing, counseling, aptitude testing, job development and referral to job openings. All Job Service offices have assigned lo their staffs al least one specially trained “local veterans' employment represen­ tative" (LIVER) who works directly with veterans applying for assistance. — The Disabled Veterans Outreach Program (DVOP) is staffed by disabled and Vietnam-era veterans and provides one-toone counseling and employment and training services. The majority of DVOP representatives work in local employment service offices. They develop networks of employer contacts and work with community groups and local veterans' organizations to locate jobs. Since its inception five years ago. DVOP's staff has contributed to the placement of more than 160,000 disabled and Vietnam-era veterans. — The Office of Veterans' Reemployment Rights (OVRR) administers the veterans' and reemployment rights statute. OVRR is part of the Department's LaborManagement Services Administration • LMSA), which has field offices in major cities throughout the country. The law basically entitles veterans to reinstatement by their preservice employers with the seniority, status and rate of pay they would have attained with reasonable cer­ tainty had they not entered the military. Reservists and National Guard members are also protected from being discharged or denied any usual advantages of their em­ ployment because of their service. — Affirmative action rights cf veterans are administered by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP), part of the Employment Standards Ad­ ministration (ESA). The law requires that employers with federal contracts or subcontracts of $10,000 or more must provide equal employment opportunity and affirmative action for Vietnam-era veterans and disabled veterans of all wars. These employers are also prohibited from firing veterans because of service-related disabilities. — The Targeted Jobs Tax Credit program provides incentives for employers to hire certain target groups of workers, including low-income Vietnam-era veterans and disabled veterans referred to employers from state vocational rehabilitation programs, or similar programs ad­ ministered by the Veterans Administration. The credit employers receive is equal to 50 percent of first year wages up to $6,000. — Veterans may be eligible for unem­ ployment insurance benefits while looking for work following completion of military service. After filing a claim with the local unemployment insurance office, there is a four-week waiting period, after which veterans may receive up to 13 weeks of benefits. -The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Veterans Employment jay'nSatuntsy • No.. 26'n 27 provides grants for various veterans employmentrelated programs.

Homes are burned due to juvenile thrill seeking and lovers' quarrels; businesses burn to collect insurance or ruin a com­ petitor; professional torches ply their sickening, if lucrative, trade wherever there’s a dollar to be made. What's the answer to arson? No one really knows — if they did, they'd be doing it! But some towns and cities have found innovative solutions that seem to fit part of the puzzle. In the middle 1970s, Seattle, Washington ex­ perimented with a multipronged program which has led to some of today’s most successful antiarson initiatives. Today there are national, state, regional and local arson hotlines run by insurance companies, business con­ sortiums and various levels of government, where you can report past or pending arson fires anonymously. Some offer rewards of cash...but al! offer the reward of helping to stem this national scandal. One of the first arson hotlines was developed by a business-insurance con­ sortium in Seattle and it helped cut the incidence of professional arson significantly. The nation­ wide hotlines offer the same bright hope. Surprisingly, the largest number of arson fires are not set by professionals or by evil-minded amateurs, but by mentally disturbed adolescents. Chronic teenage firesetlers may set (or attempt to set) dozens of small fires in a year. Detection, firm counseling and public exposure can combine to deal with these individuals rather ef­ fectively. But the anti-arson cam­ paign, however mounted, ultimately hinges on the skill and dedication of the police and firefighters who deal with arson during fire overhaul. Too often, ar­ sonists go unpunished because police investigators do not have enough fire science — or because firefighters do not un­ derstand rules of evidence, and collect arson evidence in a way that ruins its usefulness in court. More and more com­ munities are developing interdisciplinary arson task forces who personnel are trained to understand both the fireman's and policeman's side of arson — and to do justice to both. These forces offer a real potential to do justice to the arsonist. But as local budgets tighten, these new-fangled forces may be among the first to feel the axe. Now is the time to let your elected officials know that you ex­ pect your local government to protect you against arson with a balanced program of scientific detection and vigorous prosecution. The statistics don't show it yet. But it could be we're finally gaining on arson with programming. Now's the time to speak out, lest the advantage be lost.

Thursday November 25 1982 - Page 10 Proline gets ready to start operation in new buildino By Elaine Gilbert A bright spot in the local industrial scene is Proline which has moved into an expanded production and office facility in Hasting. The new Proline building was dedicated W ednesday at an open house for employers and their spouses and builders and con­ tractors. An open house for the community will take place in the spring. Full production in the new building is scheduled to begin next week. Proline, which manufactures archery equipment, began 16 years ago in the basement cf Company President Willard Pierce’s home. It later was housed with Flexfab and three weeks ago moved nextdoor into a 240 by 80-foot structure. Part of the new building includes storage space for Flexfab. The move to the new building is a $450,000plus project, symbolic of the company’s growing strength in the archery market. Five years ago, archery sites accounted for most of Proline's business. Now one-thiru of its business is bows and that's increasing every year. The company's products are sold in every state except Hawaii. It s biggest accounts. accounts,amountino amountingtnto 25 percent of its business, are in Australia. Canada and Europe. Proline makes about 15 different compounci bows. It also produces arrow shafts, bow cases, and other accessory items. It also makes rings, formerly purchased from a California firm, for the flexable hoses manufactured by Flexfab. The new Proline building, built by Pen­ nington Construction Co. of Hastings, is metal with moveable interior walls to allow for future expansion, said Terry Ploot Proline general manager. Another unique feature of the building is its energy efficient heating sjstem from Rapid Engineer ng in Grand Rapids. The gas unit is attached to the ceiling and there is no duct work involved. Ploot said. . A?r frOm the heatin8 unit blows up the building like a balloon and pressurizes the inside so that no cold air comes in. Eighty percent of the air is recirculated at all times." he said. High pressure sodium lighting has been installed to reduce energy costs, too. The shipping and receiving area and the expanded production, assembly, and storage ____ .. . areas have all been organized Io promote efficiency. There is also a 1.600 square foot mez­ zanine. now used for storage, which can be adapted for other purposes if expansion is needed, Ploot said. He describes the production at Proline as seasonal so employment al the company vanes between 16 25. College students are often hired tor part-time jobs in the busy summer months. Former employee Chuck Jordon will be returning as customer service manager for Proline. -S Terry Pl°°'inspec,s Hastings parade set for Friday: Holiday ball Saturday Dec. 4 -he Life on the Amazon presented at Kiwanis Travelogue, Nov. 30 Iin^ai Roush checks one of the bow presses in the new production room ot Pro(Bannwr photo*) Life along South America's Amazon River the longest river in the world, will be featured Tuesday when the Hastings Kiwanis Club presents the third program in its World Travel Series at 8 p.m. in Central Auditorium.

The tour includes Iquassu Falls, the eighth wander of the world and a spectacular climb up Huascaran. al 22,000 feet, the second highest mountain in the Western Hemisphere. Bumiller began his traveling career with a 600 mile canoe trip north along the Albany River to Hudson Bay in Canada. On this trip he and a companion almost lost their lives running "Speckle Trout" rapids, four miles of white water through twisting rapids and over water falls. Their canoe smashed and they were given up for lost when an Indian found part of their equipment and reported it to the Mounted Police. They were found seven days later and in time flown out by sea plane to a gold mine and safety. After graduating from the University of Cincinnati with a degree in architecture, Bumiller traveled tor the next half year in Europe and Africa. A year later he was off Io film a solo Jeep trip around the world. Season tickets for the World Travel Series are still available, with six admissions for $10.

INDUSTRIAL PARK DR., HASTINGS �Saxons lose to Caledonia 50-45 Hastings bows out of state tournament sports V_______________ Caledonia ended the Hastings girls basketball season in the district title game on Monday. 50-45. “I feel we gave it our all and played great." Saxon coach Pat Purgiel said of the game This was our hardest loss ever, especially for the seniors. "As a coach I feel proud 1 had the op­ portunity to coach such fine players. All are ladies." Hastings began the game with some red hot shooting hitting nine of it’s first 13 shots. At the end of the period the Saxons led 18-9. That lead was increased to 14 points early in the second period, out Caledonia rallied to lie the game 29-29 at the half. Purgiel said his team had trouble with the Caledonia press, and also began Io lose the rebounding battle during the second period. Caledonia outscored Hastings 8-7 in the third period as both teams made defensive adjustments. -> "Our defense was excellent during the second half, but our shooting fell off.” Purgiel said. Caledonia outscored Hastings 13-9 in the final period to ice the game. Kelly Mogg hit eight of 14 shots and finished with 19 points to lead Hastings. Paula Atkinson finished with 10 points.

(Pholo by Kevin McKonuqh) Outdoor Report; Barry County outdoor report Deer season started out on a chilly note with a light skiff of snow and slipper)- roads. However, once hunters got to where they were going in Barr)- County, they usually saw deer. Hunter numbers were down ap­ proximately 15 per cent this year compared to last. The harvest was up slightly. Several clianges in the season make comparisons of the two years difficult. Last ) ear the season opened on a Sunday rather than a weekday. Also this year, hunters may take an antlerless deer on a hunter’s choice permit throughout the season rather than just during the first seven days as was the case last year. Deer archery season reopens on December 1. Although grouse numbers are down this year compared with last, hunters are seeing birds. While rabbit season has remained open throughout the deer season, rabbit hunters have been spending their time hunting deer. Rabbit populations are good and hunting should pick up again December 1 when the deer season closes. There are still some late flights of waterfowl especially the diving ducks such as scaup, goldenege. and bufflehead. Most of t!»e small ponds froze over on November 15, but the lakes in the area have remained open concentrating the birds. A reminder to hunters: Ask the lan­ downers for permission to hunt. Hunting is a privilege and should not be abused. Hunters can be the farmers best friend, but they also can be his enemy. A final reminder: Wear hunter s orange. It saves lives. Sumac adds color to colorless fall In the fall when everything takes on a shade of- gray or brown, staghorn sumac provides a splotch of color. The brick-red clump of berries at the top of a bush can be seen in the corners of old fields throughout the area. Growing in clusters, this shrub is often the first woody plant to invade abandoned farm fields. In the summer, the berries from sumac can be steeped in water to form a refreshing drink In the fall, sumac can be combined with the grass that usually grows around it to make a good day bed for deer. Deer also like to use sumac to rub the velvet off their antlers. In the winter, rabbits will chew on the bark when other foods are depicted. Sumac is a nemesis to farmers wishing tc keep their fields free of brush. Yet to many­ forms of wildlife, it provides both food and cover. It also prepares the soil for other woody plants to grow in the sucession that leads to a mature forest. In it’s place, sumac plays a valuable role in the environment.

(Photo by Kevin McKeough) This week in outdoor Michigan General Outdoor Conditions: Weather conditions for the deer season has been unseasonably mild with intermittent rain. Some snow and a drop in temperatures is forecast for tonight. Hunting: Big Game: Deer hunters continue to bring in their prize to claim their successful deer patch. Pressure and success appears to be down about 15 percent from last year. Combination of a Monday opener and poor weather possible cause for lower success. Deer are being found mostly in the uplands and are ... good condition. Most bucks checked have al least four points with the average six to eight points. Note of Interest: Report of a 34 year old buck taken in Charlton Township, BarryCounty with a 20 point rack. Animal was small weighing approximately 150 pounds. Bow and Arrow season reopens December 1st and will continue thru January 1, 1983. Muzzleloader season will open December 3rd and run through Dec. 12 under Sport­ sman or firearm license. Antlerless deer permits will be valid for this season, but only one deer may be taken with any firearm. Small Game: Rabbit hunting is at a near stand still as bunnies push into heavy cover. Interest should pick up with the anticipated colder temperatures and tracking snow and the close of the gun deer season. Waterfowl: Season closes Sunday, November 28lh. Duck hunting on Hie Fenn­ ville Farm Unit in the Allegan Stale Game Area is down from last year. Ruffed Grouse season will reopen December 1st and run through January 1, 1983. Fishing: Heavy rains over the weekend brought water levels up on area lakes and rivers, minimizing success. However for those venturing out success was as follows: New Buffalo - Reports of a few limit catches of coho takin in 90 feet of water fishing the top 30 feel. Fish were running 2 to 5 pounds. St. Joseph - Benton Harbor - Steelhead fishing on the St. Joseph River continued to provide excellent success up to Berrien Springs dam prior to the heavy rains over the weekend. Boats were on the river again this morning and having fair success using mostly flat fish. Other Outdoor Conditions: Bird watchers with cameras or just out for a family ride are enjoying the 19.000 plus Canada geese and 6500 ducks that are still using the Fennville Farm Unit as well as-deer that have now started to congregate on the refuge. Deer still being taken in area Department of Natural Resources biologist John Lerg examines some sumac. (Banner photo) "I was real pleased as poorly as we played the first quarter that we didn't give up,” said Coppess. "The kids never quit. They could have packed it in but they didn't. That says a lot for them.” For the game Lakewood only shot 34 per cent (15 of 44) while Caledonia hit on 21 of 41 shots for 51 per cent. Lakewood did outrebound Caledonia 43-30. Kristi Seese led Lakewood with 14 points and Dee Westendorp added 11. Lakewood finishes as Tri-River champs with an overall record of 14-7. Ken Damar shot this nine-point buck on opening day in the Middleville and McCann road area. It weighed close to 130 pounds and was Darner's first ever deer. Clifton Bolwelt of Gun Lake shot this 11-point buck east of Delton. The buck weighs close to 1 80. (Banner photo) Wayland ended Delton's basketball season with a 51-29 conquest of the Panthers. Wayland jumped to a 26-17 halftime lead and never looked back in the second half. "We shot very poor, only 14 per cent.” Delton doach Dwight Lamphier said. “It was a bad night for us. I don't know if were were nervous or what.” Julie Best led Delton with 10 points. Delton finishes the season with a 16-4 record. They won the Kalamazoo Valley Association with a 13-’ record. lamphier was very pleased with the season as a whole. "This was the first time a Dei ton team has ever won a KVA championship in a girls sport." he said.

Dead are Frances Young. 72. of 10750 Parker Rd . and her sister. Helen Mott. 77, of 205 W Thorn St. Investigators say the casing had been broken on the back door, and that there were signs of struggle inside lhe home State police say lhe attack occurred bet­ ween 10 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. Tuesday. Neigh- bors of Mrs. Young say they heard their dog bark about 10:30 p.m that night. Rika Hageman of BPoll ambulance found the bodies Mrs \ oung laid on her side in the living room, in front of a television set which was left on. and Mrs. Mott was in bed. Hageman says several drawers had been opened, chairs tipped over and the telephone receiver ripped loose from the wall The ambulance service had received a call Love charges wrongdoing Assessments in order, but state investigators called by Robert J. Johnston One Barr>f County commissioner has asked lhe state to investigate “illegal things" in the county government, but his fellow commissioners haven’t been able to find any irregularities. Jack Love, who represents Assyria and Johnstown townships, said Thursday that he •’as asked the state to make some in­ vestigations into the Barry County govern­ ment He declined to specify what areas would be investigated or what state officials he contacted. "There's a lot of things that aren't right,” he said. "I met with state officials ard they'll look at it." He did say that part of the in­ vestigation would deal with property equalization. On Nov. 23, Love made a motion at the board meeting, which was seconded by Soya, to have the equalization committee meet with lhe equalization director, lhe State Tax Commission, lhe prosecutor and the Prairieville Township supervisor regarding alleged irregularities in Prairieville Township. The motion carried on a voice vote. That motion triggered Roy Reck. Prairieville Township supervisor, to call for a special meeting of the commissioners. Commissioners formally apoiogied to Reck. Friday, and said they found no evidence of irregularities. "The motion was offered by Love with some comments which were very general in nature." Reckscid. “He(Love) implied that it was political." Reck said he did not know what Love's specific charges were. Love did not attend I-1 idu> v, meeting, He laid lhe Banner dial he left early Friday morning lo haul a load of com. Richard Landon, chairman of the equalization committee, said that he found no irregularities in the Prairieville Township assessments “I had a meeting and he (Love) didn't show up toprove his irregularities." Landon said. Love serves on the committee along with Walter Soya. Landon said lhe board of review would have found any irregularities. ■'That’s what lhe board of review is for." he continued, "is to pick up any irregularities and to gel things straightened out.” Landon said that Love would not say if the irregularities were involved with one specific parcel or several properties. "Hedidn't show up at lhe meeting with the equalization director or to lhe commission meeting, either one," 1-indon said, "uo we couldn't get any idea what his irregularities were.” John Ainslie, equalization director, said he also didn't find any irregularities in Praireville Township assessments. But. he conceded, finding them would be difficult. "You’ve got a lot of parcels, over 1,000, and most of them have been changed,” he said. “It’s like finding a needle in a haystack." Ainslie said he didn’t have any knowledge of anybody reviewing lhe Prairieville assessment rolls since he did, last spring. Reck also said that he had no knowledge of anyone having reviewed lhe rolls. Reck said he did have the township at­ torney. Kenneth Sparks of Kalamazoo, review, the commissioners’ motion lo see if there was any cause for slander in the at cusation of irregular ities. Sparks told him it would be difficult lo prove In Friday's special meeting, eight com­ missioners approved a motion saying that Love's original motion was "an unfounded allegation, improperly presented and also in confiicl with lhe Slate Tax Commission laws and procedures " A'second motion said that due lo lack of substantiation of Love's motion, that no action would be taken on it and an official apology was extended to Reck, township board members and the township board of review.

"He (Curtis) is the senior pastor of Hastings and has given many years in ser­ vice to the community so we thought it would be nice to honor him," said Norman Barlow , parade chairman.

DeMott says Mrs. Young was probably stabbed close to where she was found.

Although the dam gate at the lake was voluntarily closed Monday — after lhe level was lowered more than a foot — Rush Stidham, a lake area businessman, has obtained a temporary restraining order preventing lhe Algonquin Lake Association from opening the dam gate which controls lhe lake level. A hearing on the matter is set for 2:30 p.m. Friday. Dec. 3 in Barry County Circuit Court before Judge Hudson Deming. Stidham, who owns the Stidham Grave! Co. at 2100 W. State Road, said his attorney will seek a permanent injunction at Friday's court hearing Io prohibit the association from taking any action to lower the lake “until the DNR establishes the lake level." Meanwhile, a representative of the eniorcement division of the Department of Natural Resources is set to meet with the Natural Resources Commission today to ask approval for DNR Director Dr. Howard Tanner to petition the Barry Circuit Court to establish a legal lake level for Alqonquin. The DNR had previously notified the lake association board that according to state law. the lake could not be lowered without a permit Stidham said he is seeking lhe court injunction “merely to protect myself.” He said that he is very concerned about the effect of the lake lowering on the un­ derground water table. The lake association has lowered the lake in the past and Siidham said it has affected his well. "There were 28 other wells that went dry too." he said. Stidham said the last time the lake was lowered he spent $5,000 to redrill his well. "I have to have 1.000 gallons of water per minute to wash the gravel (as part of his business." he said. With the last lake draw­ down. Stidham said his water pressure was reduced Io 390 gallons per minute. Of the action Saturday to open the dam and begin another draw-down, he said he had a letter from the DNR instructing the lake association board “not to open the dam because a hearing would have to be held to establish a lake level." Before the lake can be lowered a hydrogeological study must be conducted. Stidham said. John Rugg. vice president of the lake association, said he was served with a copy of the restraining order Wednesday. He said local attorney James Fisher will appear in court. Friday, to represent the association Rugg said the lake board made the decision to open the dam gate last Saturday because “the greatest majority" of residents had voted to lower the lake level this winter. Members of the lake association voted 6153 in favor of the draw-down last August and lhe board announced then I hat the lake would be lowered eight and one-half feet until March in an attempt to kill weeds. "The board has advised everyone in­ cluding the DNR from the onset (since last August) that our intentions were to lower the lake level." said Rugg.

Two issues stall labor negotiations by Robert J. Johnston Rev. Willard Curtis of the First Presbyterian Church in Hastings will serve as grand marshal of the? p.m. Christmas parade this Friday through downtown Has­ tings. 'Banner photo) Talks at Hastings Manufacturing Co ended in a stalemate, yesterday, over issues of "equality of sacrifice" and job guaran­ tees. but the company hopes to continue negotiations yet this week. Dennis Witham, director of industrial relations, said that Wednesday's meeting did not result in any noticable progress. Davie Turnes, chief negotiator for the production maintenance section of the union, said that the meeting broke off about 2x30 Pm.. Wednesday, because they did not seem 1,1 be making progress on the two issues. "I don't want that termed as an impasse.” Turnes said. "In a couple of areas, we couldn't seem to get things rolling." Turnes said that the union was not plan­ ning to ask the company for another meeting, but Witham remained hopeful that a new negotiation session could be held this week or early next week. "We've modified and gone nearly to a company proposal 'in dollars and cents) at this lime." Turnes said. “We're not calling it a proposal at this time, we’re calling it a neutral posture." Turnes explained that the union had presented a package the union negotiators would support before the membership and another package on which the negotiators would lake no stand. Turnes said that the company agreed to work on the package on which the negotiators kept a neutral posture. Witham said that the company had moved significant!} in the areas of equality of sacrifice and had presented the union with two options on job security, separated bet­ ween existing business and new business. Under the equality of sacrifice provisions, the union is seeking reductions of salaried employees pay and benefits similar to union sacrifices. Turnes called the company's job guarantee proposals "vague and very am­ biguous." Witham said that the two options on job security were designed to preserve jobs in Hastings and not relocate them out-of-state. Negotiations opened in September after the company said it might relocate 150 jobs unless labor costs could lx- reduced. Witham later revised that figure to 250 jobs. Witham said that if a new session were held, he hoped to reinvolve the UAW In­ ternational officials �la-ungs Banner Thursday .

"If the government will put the money to good use." says Bob Lord of Hastings. “If they use the money they create to promote more jobs. I'll go along with that 100 percent. We need more jobs." "I think we should do just about anything we can to make jobs more plentiful lor people." says Kathy Steele, of Nashville. "If it means increasing taxes, then I'm for it." She says she’s not against using federal money to create jobs. "If it can make jobs for somebody. I’m for it." says Steele. "I don t think we have any choice." says Darlene Oliver of Hastings." Oliver is skeptical that tax money ends up where it s intended. "They tax this, tax that. Where is all the money? They say money goes for the roads, and for schools ..it’s not going for that, otherwise they would have if Oliver agrees that the feds should finance more jobs. "The money should go somewhere, and it should go lo where we can see it." she explains. "I'm in favor of fixing the roads, but I Judy Weinbrecht think we should do that locally if we can " says Larry Porter of Nashville. Porter says he would prefer to raise local taxes to fix local roads.” “Federal money is likely to be spent on interstates and things like that, and we’ll end up subsidizing lhe trucking industry,” says Porter. Porter favors using federal money lo create jobs "if it’s work that needs to be done." “If it will create more jobs, and if it will do the job intended, fine." says Herbert Frith of Nashville. "If we can keep the bureaucrats out of it. we might beable iodo it." He says money raised from the gas tax should be funneled into existing projects "then I II be willing to pay that f.ve cents."’ Frith says county and state road com­ missions have people laid off. and .hose should be’the first back lo work. b rith adds that he is hestitant to create other types pf jobs with federal money "Wherever you create a federal project. Tom Ogden when the money is gone, you’re still paying the taxes." “I personally won’t mind paying another five-cenls a gallon for road repairs,” says Ron Lear, engineer manager for lhe Barry County Road Commission. He calls highways "the backbone of our nation". Lear says he doesn't know how much of the money raised will be funneled into county roads, but points out that federal money comprises a small percentage of the county budget. "If it creates more jobs, then I’m all for it.' says Judy Weinbrecht of Hastings. Weinbrecht says she would support a federal jobs program such as this country saw in lhe 30s "because it worked then". ’ Tom Ogden of Hastings says road repairs are needed "and it isn’t going to get any cheaper for repairs, so we might as well get it out of the way.” Ogden says a jobs program would sen e a purpose, but adds "so much of it is wasted, 1 sometimes wonder about it." �The Hastings Bonner.

"Now the job is to find a solution." he said, adding that riparian properly owners must figure out how to work together “for the best solution for all of us." The basic idea behind the draw-down is part of the association’s program to improve water quality and lowering the lake would allow residents the opportunity to clean-up weeds and chemical deposits from last summer’s chemical weed kill, Forsberg said. On the controversy of wells being affected by the draw down, Forsberg said, "there is no concrete proof that lowering the lake has dried up any wells...but we recognize that it can or could affect it " The level of Alqunquin Lake was lowered in the winter of 1980-81 but not last year .. hen three wells in the area went dry, Forsberg claimed. Because of some residents claims that previous lake draw-downs have affected their wells the controversy is really a public health issue, said Deborah Mulcahey, DNR environmental enforcement specialist. However, she said state statutes allow the DNR to take an action and the department is willing to get involved, but that the matter can best be resolved in court. Ms. Muclahey said a representative from the DNR will be meeting with the local board of health on December 9 and with Barry county commissioners at their next meeting. She said the valve on the Algonquin Lake dam was closed voluntarily by the lake board, Monday, after Rex Schmiller. of the DNR law enforcement division, advised the board of the implications of draining the lake American Legion donates check Cubmaster Robert Wendorf.

Stidham said the penalty for illegal drainage is a $10,000 fine per day. Steve Essling.R.S., supervising sanitarian of the Barry-Eaton Health Department, said the health department and county com­ missioners also have powers to seek in­ junctive relief for lake residents if lowering the lake level affects public health. Essling said the health department won’t approve a draw-down without first studying a hydrogeological survey (0 gain more in­ formation about the underground water supplies. He said it appears that there is a definite correlation between the draw-down and problems with residents wells. Essling said he had data concerning more than 30 wells in that lake area that were affected from the last draw-down. "Those wells either had to be deepened or new wells drilled,” he said. The lake beard has set a meeting for this weekend and another on Monday with a representative of the DNR. Rugg'said At Monday’s meeting he said the board hopes to know more about its options in the controversy, perhaps including the possibility of the establishment of a legal lake level during the summer and another for winter.

Jefferson St. . Hastings r? . Ph. 945-2471 , -Jk �The Hostings Bonner, Thursday. December 2. 1982 — Pooe 5 I School board wary of I private computer funding COMMENTS: "If this committee feels strongly about a computer program, then I think the board needs to address that...! think the important .v . . study nut thing is to thoroughly hasn't been done.” By Ken Reibel Most school board members support a computer curriculum for the high school, but express reservations over funding. The board, at its Aug. 30 meeting, voted six to one tn support of a citizen committee to solicit private funds to purchase computers for the high school. Originally the group, named "Computer for Kids”, sought twoloone matching funds from the state to purchase approximately $40,000 worth of Apple computers. However, that grant was denied, and the group is currently seeking alternative funding for the project. The board stipulated at its Aug. 30 meeting that it would in no way be obligated to fun­ ding computers in its support of "Computer for Kids”. Most board members are concerned that private funding of school curr.?ulums and programs could get out of hand, festering a slew of private interest groups within the system. "It isn’t truly a public education system when you’re soliciting funds for academic things." says George Wibalda “I have a feeling against it. I think that eventually we could have a school system run by special interests." Wibalda says he favors computer training in the school system, but calls his support of the committee “a one-shot thing.” "1 think we should go for millage if there's that many things that we think should lie included...! think that's really truly the way a public school system should be run. is by the school board presenting it to the public and try to get their support, if we think its necessary, and if they won't support us. then I think we have to do with what they give us." Judy Lenz says she thinks more study is needed by the board "It hasn't started out right. II hasn't been thoroughly studied and presented correc­ tly." she says. "My problem with the whole thing is we haven't studied the computers enough to know where we want Io begin, how we went to fit it into our curriculum. There's just a group of people that have decided it is a good idea...I don't think there's any board member who doesn't realize the need for computers in our curriculum." says Lenz. “I think we are all in agreement that we are behind in this area. This is a difficult economic time lostart adding programs. I'm not sure where the money's coming from...but if it's in the system, it ought to be supported by the whole tax base, be part of the operating budget. "1 think it's good that people are raising money, but I believe that everything the school is offering to its students should be within the guidelines of the operating budget," says Lenz. She says the board should wait for the recommendations of the citizen curriculum study group before giving any go ahead to computers. Diane Hoekstra is willing to give the committee a chance. "Given the circumstances, yes. it's not the best method." she says. "Everything should come through the school and be funded by the millage. Of course, we've had to go outside for athletics and other things too. So that's not the ideal way to do it " Hoekstra says she is not too concerned with special interest groups taking over the schools. “I'm not sure all groups, if they have an interest in something, .arc going '.o be willing to go through this fundraising procedure or that they should have to." “At this point...! would say that we would have to make a decision just like we did with the athletics, that if there's support and the people are willing to do it, then I would probably back it. which is the route we’ve gone on both athletics and this program." says Hoekstra. Hoekstra adds that the board is "really rather powerless" with regards to the computers, "without funds to do it our­ selves." Board President Dr. William Baxter ex­ presses few reservations over the com­ mittee. "I certainly don't have any problem with it. It certainly is the only way (computers) u ill get financed. The school is not going to be able to pay for it, and if people are con­ cerned enough to finance it I'm all for it," says Baxter. Baxter admits he has some concern that private interests may exert too strong of a Hastings Jr. High honor roll announced 7th Grade (4.0 Average) Lisa Ellzroth. Janelle Hoekstra. Rob Langstrcct.

Hastings Banner The job of selecting a school superin­ tendent has become more difficult in the past ten years, said Dr. Carl Brautigam. con­ sultant to the Michigan Association of School Boards, at a Monday meeting of the Hastings Rotary Club. Brautigam. who is assisting Hastings in its current superintendent search, cited figures showing that the number of superintendency vacancies in Michigan has increased since 1972, while the average number of qualified applicants for the job has declined. He said real estate prices and current high mortgage rates also make difficult a school district's job of attracting qualified in­ dividuals. "Many times the prospective superin­ tendent must give up a nice home and a lowmortgage to move to another district., he or she must have something besides just money to switch jobs," said Brautigam. He added that money is usually fourth on the list of reasons for an individual to take the job. Brautigam said he has assisted in superintendent searches for 32 districts, ranging in size from 200 to 15,000 pupils. For his services, Hastings schools pay $2,500. He said that an MASB search consultant is precluded by law from telling a school board The Barry County Board of Commissioners is accepting bids for floor covering in the court­ house on the Circuit Court level.

Secretary HASTINGS AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT "There's just a group of people that have decided it is a good idea...! don't think there's any board member who doesn't realize the need for computers in our curriculum." — Judy Lenz. "!'m not sure all groups, if they have an interest in something...are going to be willing to go through this fundraising procedure or that they should have Io." — Diane Hoekstra. hold on the schools, "but on the other hand, my concern is overridden by the advantage of (he kids getting something they may not get otherwise.” Baxter thinks children will be U a disadvantage by not having computer ex­ perience when they graduate. "I think they’re going lobe competing in a world with kids that have been exposed to them, and they're going to be at a disadvantage." Baxter adds that he doesn't see any action by the board on computers in the next year “unless there's some dramatic improvement in the financial state of affairs...unless the state aid formula improves, or a millage passes, or something." Dick Shaw was the only member to vote against the board’s support of the com­ mittee, and he stands by his vote, though he says he "absolutely" believes computers belong in a high school. Shaws says the school board and the community have the responsibility of fun­ ding public education. "I don't think private groups have the responsibility of coming up with the funds for "I'm opposed to new programs being in­ stituted by private citizens, because I think that's the public's responsibility.” - Dick Shaw. "We should not lei financing problems get in the way of providing computers for the kids." — Larry Haywood "I think that the role of the school is using the computer to do something, not training computer operators." — Dick Groos public education, and I'm opposed to new programs being instituted by private citizens, because I think that's the public's responsibility." says Shaw. He says he stands by his vote against the format ion of a computer committee, and that he prefers the school's seeking out of grants to fund computers. He adds that he’s banking on the curriculum study group to set the school system's priorities, then find the funds for computers and other needs. "I'm totally in favor of including com­ puters in the school's curriculum." says Shaw, "but I think it's the responsibility of the curriculum study group to make the recommendation to the board, and it's the responsibility of the community to support the entire education effort." Il was Larry Haywood who asked for and got a vole of support from the board at its August 30 meeting for the computer com­ mittee, and he is the only board member who has been attending that group's meetings. Haywood says much study has gone into the computer curriculum, and that a recommendation regarding computer use "will tie foremost on the mind" of the vocational study group committee. "We should not let financing problems get in the way of providing computers for the kids." says Havwood. Haywood says he has no more problem with a committee raising funds than he does with other special interest groups raising money, but he does see a problem There is a problem with all special in­ terest groups when it comes to soliciting public support for the school in general." says Haywood. "It gels Io the point when the public says 'They have this, and they have that, and we don't have to help anymore,' but that s not true. The public has to support public education. That's my worry about com mil lee-sponsored programs." Dick Groos feels too much emphasis is placed on computers for high school students. “I think the important thing is for students to learn the basics behind a computer, and not necessarily just punching buttons." says Groos. "This is what I fear, there's loo much emphasis on just learning which buttons to push, executing programs done by somebody else. As for as I'm concerned, the important thing is the programming, and un­ derstanding how it works." "I think that the role of the school is using the computer as a tool to do something, not training computer operators." says Groos. Groos. however, is optimistic about the computer committee. "We're in very, very unusual limes," he notes. "In normal limes, this would be inappropriate...! think that a good program could be made with this approach, but I'm not going to tolerate any kind of a situation where people say I gave you this, now I'm going to (ell you how to run it.”’ Groos says he is not pleased with the board's endorsement of the committee. "I'm not totally happy with it...The board should determine the priorities. This is one of my reservations, having priorities forced on the board. It's something that can be worked out. and I wish (the committee well), but I just wish it could be done in a different way."

"I think we should go for a millage if there's that many things that we think should be included." — George Wibalda. “The school is not going to Ik* able to pay for (computers>. and if people are concerned enough to finance it.

The Fenton art glass company was one of four glass firms that produced 90 percent of all carnival glass made in the United Stales from 1907-1925. Other companies well known for carnival, were the Northwood Co.. 191019.23; Imperial Co., still in operation in Belleville. Ohio; and the Millersburg Co.. 1910-1914. The introduction of this new art glass to the public was as successful as had been an­ ticipated. From 1907 toabout 1925. tons of the new glass were shipped all over America and most of the world Identification of early carnival glass is often difficult because many glassmakers moved from one factory to another, taking their patterns and molds with them There were hundreds of different patterns Items were made in both utilitarion and decorative glass. Punch bowls, cups, vases, baskets, knick-bracha. bowls, commemorative items, hat-pin holders, plates, water sets, and manymore items were made. The patterns pressed into the glass were given names and numbers by the com­ panies who made them. Collectors have given names Io some whose names were not known. Three categories described the carnival patterns. Geometric patterns copied real cut glass. Naturalistic patterns were the greatest in number. They included fruits, birds, flowers, animals, and such things in glass was disposed ol by offering it al discounts Io merchants and carnivals as prizes. Il was in the 1950's that collectors began searching out the discarded carnival glass. It's scarcity caused prices tosky rocket. Old carnival glass became as expensive to buy and sometimes more so, then the art glass it had replaced. In 1960. the Imperial Glass Co., Belleville. Ohio, began to make re-issues of the early day carnival. From 1907-1925 Imperial used an iron cross on a small percentage of its glass. I.) the re-issues, it carefully marked all its glass with a clear new trademark Io distinguish it from the old carnival of the Imperial Co In 1970. Fenton glass companymarked all their glass This helps the collector to know the new glass from the old, as Fenton never marked any of its old car­ nival. Northwood Glass Co. used an 'N" to mark its glass, or an 'N' with a line under it. or used an N' in a circle on their old carnival glass. Buyer beware — some new carnival is being reproduced with an 'N' on the bottom, and some of the better made pieces are foolers. Millersburg Glass Co. did not use a trademark on its carnival glass. This company is credited with producing some of the most beautiful early carnival Some current prices on old carnival glass: Imperial Fashion pattern, red: Punch bowl and base. $1,800; water pitcher, purple, fashionpatt., $900. Northwood blue barnyard bowl. $1,800; Northwood butterfly and tulips, purple, $1,350 for a footed bowl. All pastel colored carnival is currently ranging from high undreds of dollars to well over a $1,000 each.

"Serving Hastings and Barry County by Catherine Lucas The Lakewood Board of Education held an alcohol and drug abuse seminar at the high school on Monday, November 29. This program was repealed in the evening for '.he adults of the community. Among those who spoke in the various sections of the seminar were William Eckstrom, Larry Eggers, Wes VanDenburg, Karen Maharg, and Gerrit Klomp, all of Lakewood School Board or school system; Chris Van der Band of Grand Rapids Mothers Against Drunk Drivers; State Trooper Don Leslie; Police Sgt. Jim Valentine of the village of Lake Odessa; Detective Sgt. Ken DeMott of Barry County; John Belaski of Project Rehab in Grand Rapids and Substance Abuse in Ionia County , and Pastors Timothy Rothfuss and Jim Kinsey of the Ixikewood Ministerial Association. The seminar was planned and organized by Janet Thomas, a Lakewood school board member. During the day. every student at Lakewood had an opportrunity to view a film shown by State Police Trooper Don Leslie of the Ionia post. Leslie had previously shown the film "Alcohol and the Automobile" at both Woodland and Lake Odessa Junior High Schools. This film was also shown Io the adults who attended the evening seminar. The film was made in Los Angeles, at the California State Highway Patrol Academy. Il was of a study made with people who could perform well under the influence of alcohol. These people were filmed driving before drinking and again after their blood alcohol reached 0.10 percent, which is the legal definition of intoxication where driving is concerned in most states. Every subject’s driving ability was impaired from 17 to 60 percent. State Trooper Don Leslie said that the alcohol problem is our schools is a society problem.

Grapes, peacocks, storks, roses, pansies, and strawberries were Naturalistic patterns used most often The third group of patterns had an Oriental influence and became popular at the beginning of the 20lh century. These included patterns with simple lines or ribs or scrolls Fine rib and wide panel were two popular Oriental patterns. Since the pieces were handmade, handsprayed. and hand-heated, there was con­ siderable difference in the degree of iridescense on pieces which were made al the same time on the same day. There was substantial variation in the quality. Carnival glass was made by pressing the piece of glass from good quality pot glass, and then heated to an almost molten state and then sprayed with a mixture of metallic oxide:, until the desired iridescent color appeared on the piece. It may or may not have been heated a second time, depending on the desired color. The base glass colors in the early years were amethyst, crystal for marigold, cabalt blue, green, and red. It was more difficult to shade red carnival, as the end result was sometimes not a true, rich red. Therefore, fewer red pieces were made. This is why the scarce red carnival pieces are so earnestly sought after. The more limited the quantity, the more desirable it is for collectors of rare carnival. A piece of carnival glass, held to the light, reveals the color of the base glass. Not long after the beginning of the 1920's the taste and style for all the fancy pomp and splendor of the Victorian era began to change. Carnival glass fell into disfavor. It was stored away in attics and basements or even thrown on dumps. Manufacturers of carnival glass were caught with literally tons of unsold glass. The stores, mail order houses, and glass outlets were no longer buying.

He said that the solution must start with education of our society members as parents and grandparents. Leslie said people must stop supplying a keg of beer for teen-age parties. Lake Odessa Police Sgt. Jim Valentine said that in that community, alcohol is a greater problem than narcotics, by far. He said that in Lake Odessa, just under 50 percent of all arrests are for alcohol related offenses. He said he has recently found 12 and 13-year old children in cars with open alcohol containers. Barry County Deteciive Sgt. Ken DeMott told the group that a judge in Bary County Circuit Court is now ordering people arrested for drinking offenses to take an alcohol rehabilitation program. He said that drugs are still available in Barry County, but that they are a far lesser problem than alcohol. Larry Eggers, assistant principal of Lakewood High School, reported that an­ nually a questionnaire is given to all graduating seniors to fill out anonymously. They are asked about the involvement of themselves and other students in the use of alcohol and drugs. Eggers said that the incidence reported is rising every year. However, he said that it has become “not cool” to be caught with these substances on campus, and that the real crisis is out of school. Eggers said that much of the attitudes that lead to alcohol and drug abuse by teen-agers are set before high school age. The grade schools in the Lakewood District are now presenting units on drugs and alcohol in early grades as part of the science curriculum. Wes VanDenburg of the high school detention program and a junior high coun­ selor said that a large number of kids are physically, emotionally, and psychologically dependent upon alcohol before their families are aware of any problem. Chris Van der Band of the Grand Rapids Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (MADD) represented the nationwide organization at the seminar.

Pastor Rothfuss discussed the morality of drinking, slating that some churches teach abstinance and some teach moderation, but all decry abuse. He remarked that the size of the crowd present at the seminar is indicative that “Yes — we have a problem. We need to know more so that we can make informed decisions." Pastor Jim Kinsey told each group that the baseofall abuse— marital, child, alcohol, or drug — is lack of self-esteem. He said that families and churches have a strong impact in the area of passing values. The greatest need is for them Io pass on the value of selfesteem. he said. Dr. John Belaski, progressional counselor, told of the treatments and programs that are available at Lakewood, in Ionia County, and in the state of Michigan. One program has grown at Lakewood School because of requests for help from students. This program, under counselor Karen Maharg, is now gaining statewide attention. Abuse counseling for students who have problems is available through the school department in Ionia. Dr. Belaski also discussed the availability of AA and Al-Anon programs and other groups such as family therapy. Dr. Belaski feels that the worst problem in substance abuse is adult and societal modeling, the prevelent use of coffee, cola drinks, cigarettes, aspirin, tranquilizers, as well as the use of drugs by media and sports stars indicate to youngsters that drugs are an acceptable way to solve or handle problems. He said that there are kids who never try drugs, there are kids who only experiment with drugs on a very limited basis, there art kids who use drugs very sparingly, but that 10 perce. I of our kids have a problem with drugs. Dr. Belaski was very explicit in that he includes alcohol in the term "drugs", and that in fact, it is the number one substance abused in our society.

Steve Maurer i5’ 11" senior for­ ward), Kendy Mueller (5’ 11" junior for­ ward), Joel Christensen <5’ 9" junior guard), and Tom Brown <5* 11" junior swingman) O’Mara says the goals of his team are to finish in the top half of the Twin Valley and to play better basketball as the season progresses. "I think those goals are attainable.” notes O’Mara. "We re going to lose some games, but 1 think we’ll win some too." The team will only possess average quickness and shooters, but should play relatively good defense in time, says O’Mara. The strong suit is the depth at the guard position. O’Mara says he expects the Twin Valley to be a bit tougher , this season. He says the odds on-favorite to capture the league is Sturgis. The Trojans play well together and return a pair of fine shooters. Albion will have a quick, good-shooting team capable of scoring a lot of points and Jackson Northwest is returning some key players, says O’Mara. Marshall can be tough if some key injured players heal liefore the season. Coldwater, Harper Creek and Hillsdale have new coaches and are unknown entities. "We fit in the middle of there somewhere," concludes O’Mara of the standings. "But then, you never know." Middleville set for basketball powerhouse i Last year Middleville basketball coach Skip Pranger admitted his team "sneaked up" on teams for several of it's wins. This year there's no way that’s going to happen. Thornapple Kellogg opponents are going to realize that the Trojans bring back four starters and a heap of talent from a team that went 19-3 a year ago. Nobody is going to be taken by surprise. Pranger admits it’s nice to have the assembled talent back, but he isn’t counting any wins yet. “It is a goal of ours to repeat, but it’ll be tougher for us to win this year. Everybody will be pointing towards us. They’ll be after us from the beginning," says Pranger. MIDDLEVILLE Boys Basketball Hastings Fiber Glass Products according to head coach Dennis O’Mara He believes his team will swim if they can come up with a couple of rebounding forwards. If they don’t, it’ll be time to break out the life rafts. The Saxons, who finished 11-13 last season, have two-thirds of the guard-center-forward combination it takes to win in high school basketball. They lack the experienced for­ ward. "Somebody is just going to have to step forward," says O'Mara of the situation. "The the forward candidates feel they can do the job and that’s half the battle. "We just have to rebound. We didn’t do it that well last year and we’re just going to have to get it this year." O’Mara will be counting on the center­ guard duo of Bruce Hartman and Mark Brown. Hartman, a 6‘ 5" senior, is the only full-time starter returning to Hastings. Brown is a 5’ Id" sophomore shooter who tore up the jayvee team and later started some varsity games. O’Mara does have some experience besides Brown returning at the guard positions in seniors Steve Conner (5’ 8") and Bruce Martin (5’ 10"). Hastings does have three returning let­ termen at the forward positions. Drew Howitt (6‘ 3" senior) is expected to start at one forward position. Steve Strong (6’ 3" senior) and Jamie Owings (6’ senior) lend depth. O’Mara says the leading candidate for the second forward spot is 6’ sophomore Mike Mattews.

Hanover St. Hostings, Michigan Never-the-less, Middleville should be a powerhouse in 1982-83. The Trojans return eight lettermen and four of their top six players. Pranger believes the loss of all-leaguers Bill Schwartz and Steve Scott can be over­ come. "Yes I think so," he says. "They supplied a lot of leadership and hustle and they’ll be hard to replace." Pranger will look to three seniors and a junior to pick up the scoring, leadership and hustle voids. Jim Schipper, a 5’ 11" guard, led the team last year in assists and steals is one of those seniors. Another is Brian Miller, a 6’ 3" senior wing, who was the team's second leading scorer and an all-leaguer a year ago. A third key senior is Jeff Kerber, a 6’ 5” rebounder, who was one of only two players to start every game last year. The junior is Dave Perry, a 6’ 5” forward. Perry was voted as the team’s most im­ proved player a year ago. Pranger says the team’s strong suits will be running and pressing. If the team has a weak spot it will be lack of depth. Fighting for the fifth starting spot will be seniors Dave Van Sickle and Chris Miller, both 5’ 11". Fellow seniors Steve Myers, 6' 2", and Chris Noah, 6’ 3", supply bench strength. Pranger hopes a rigorous 23-game sum­ mer camp last summer at Northwood In­ stitute will help his team this year. “We got a lot accomplished. I think it definitely helped us," he says. Pranger believes the league to be better balanced. He says Caledonia will be big, Hamilton will have a good young team and Hudsonville is always tough. "Sure we had lour people that played a lot last year, but it’s gonna be tough to repeat,” Pranger admits. Maybe so, but it'll probably be tougher on their opponents.

That is to say measuring the factors other than talent that can determine winning and losing. Take Maple Valley's basketball team, for example.

It’s hard to say how far that desire will take the Lions, whom Reese describes as "young and inexperienced." Reese will have three returning starters and a total of five returning letterwinners with which to work. Tony Dunkeiburger. a 6’ 1" senior post­ man; Mickey Mahon, a 5’ 10" senior guard; and Randy Joostberns, a 6’ 2" senior for­ ward. return to starting spots for the Lions. The other two returnees are a pair of senior forwards; 6’ 2" Mike Gurd, and 5’ 0" Pete Koetje.

Reese said the overall quickness of his team should cause Maple Valley’s opponents to make an inordinate amount of mistakes. "We should have a very quick team," said Reese. “We also should have good depth. We have some players who can come off the bench." Reese admitted that since his front line will not stand much over six foot, they will 478 N. Airport Road Hastings. Michigan Athletic Amusements, Inc. 1907 S.

Last season Lakewood's baskethall team finished 12-9 and were crow ned as Tri-River League champions. This season, however, things are a bit different. Foar of those seniors have since graduated and the other is hobbled by knee surgery. First year coach Mike Maciasz, up from the jayvee team, faces the Herculean task of building a competitive team that will be severely lacking in any kind of experience or height. At best, the task won’t be easy. The key to success will depend how quickly Randy Hazel will be able to return to action. The 6‘ 4" senior forward underwent off­ season knee surgery for torn cartilage and won’t be back at least until the Christmas tourney. Without Hazel. Maciasz is realistic about the Vikings chances "He would have been our leader, no doubt about it." says Maciasz of Hazel. -Without him I don't know what to expect. We’d like to play .500 ball, but we're going to have to mature quickly." Maciasz says because of the overall youth of the team. Lakewood s play will be in­ consistent. Lack of rebounding and tur­ novers will probably be commonplace. “We’re just going to have to learn to position out on our rebounding. In ballhan­ dling. we’ve done some drills to help that, but we’re still average ballltandlers,” says Maciasz. The first-year coach says the players which are able to play at the most consistent level will be the ones that start. Right now Maciasz is looking to 5’ 10 ". seniors Eric Heide and Doug Foltz to handle • the guard positions Both are returning letterwinners. but saw very little action last year Bob Hin^s, a 5' 10 ” senior letterwinr.er, is also a possibiity at guard along with juniors Dave Barker and Dave Joppie, both 5’ 10". The leading candidates to hold down the forward positions are juniors Ken Corp. 6’ 0 ”, Dave Hilley. 6’ 3 ”, and Tad Lubitz. 6’ 0". Last year's jayvee team won 15 of 20 games including .everal in overtime and a couple at the buzzer. Maciasz hopes that fortune will continue this year. "Once we get into the second half of season I think we ll be a better team," says. "We’re just going to have to matt quickly."

For example, the team must stay healthy, they must learn to cut down on turnoxers’ and a talented group of juniors must mature quickly. If Delton can solve the above problems, then coach Bob Prentice believes his team can stay in the hunt for a KVA title. "Realistically I’m hoping we can be in the 14 to 16 win category." Prentice notes of his teams chances Delton finished with a 12-10 record last year placing them third in the KVA. Only senior forward Dave Barry returns as a starter from that team. Barry, 6’ 5", was an all-KVA performer and will probably be a cornerstone in the building of this year’s squad. Other lettermen that return arc Gary Chantrenne, a 6' 5" senior center; Tom Watson, a 5’ 8" .senior guard; and Mike McCullough, a 6’ 1" senior guard. From that group, however, only Chan­ trenne saw much playing time. As a result Prentice will depend on several players who led the jayvee team to a 19-1 record Barb’s Yarn and Fabric Shop Up from the jayvee team will be sophomore Steve Tuin, a 6’ 3" forward; Junior Brett McBeth, a 6’ 2 ' swingman; and junior Jay Henry, another 6’ 2" swingman. Prentice says his team will be a good shooting team, from both inside and outside. “Teams won’t be able to sit back and pack a zone on us," notes Prentice. "I also think we ll be able to pass well. We are also very’ team-oriented, which is good " Prentice said turnovers hurt the team last year but "will be kept to a minimum" this season. Free throw shooting could be another problem. "We lost four games last year on free throws. We outscored teams from the floor, but we lost the games." says Prentice. "We arc seeing good results there so far this year." Kalamazoo Christian has depth and size and is the best bet to capture the KVA. and Galesburg-Augusta is a probably darkhorse, says Prentice. "But I think we can be a contender," he adds. "It just depends on a few things.’’ Hastings City Bank Offices in Hastings and Middleville Member FDIC Barry County Lumber Home Center 225 N. Industrial Drive PATTEN Monument Mfg. Co. 1065 W.

But not in the OK-Blue League where four of the top 20 1981-82 teams in the state reside. The league also has three wrestlers back that were good enough to find their way to the state finals a year ago. 1 rojan coach Tom Lehman saw his team compile an 11-6 record and a fourth place timsh in 1981-82. He hopes that record can be improved upon this season. For that to happen, however, four senior Trojan wrestlers will have to ccme through with big seasons.

Furrow’s team will be young this winter, but not as young as last year Hastings didn’t have any returning seniors at that time and eventually compiled a 2-9 record as Furrow went mostly with freshmen. This year Furrow, beginning his 11th year at Hastings, will have a bit more experience with wh ch to work.

Reaser has lettered twice before at 198 and 167 pounds. Clason is a two-year starter and Ruffner lettered two years ago as a sophomore. A pair of juniors. Larry Hoffman (167) and Dan Goodenough (112), both possess much needed experience.

Furrow said he is pleased with the com­ petition within the team. He says the team goes a least two wrestlers deep at every weight. He also calls the team as hard a working team as he’s had in a long time. "They work very well together. They work as hard as any team I've coached," says Furrow "But the thing is they work as a team. They're functioning as a team instead of as a group of individuals." Delton wrestling team is bolstered by returnees Delton's wrestling team has compiled a 395 record over the last three years including a 13-1 mark last year. According to coach John Dudley, it won't be easy to match that record this year, but it will be possible. A total of 11 wrestlers return from a year ago including senior co-captains Robert Miller and Rusty Carroll. Miller will wrestle in the 132 pound class this year and Carroll will wrestle at 167 and 185. Miller’s record was 20-4 a year ago and Carroll finished at 14-9. Senior Jason Buckner (119) also returns and was a spot starter last season. Junior returnees include Mike Debolt (167155), Mike Maddox (145-155), Doug Conklin (138), and Bill Warner (132). Delton will be blessed with a strong sophomore class. Coming back will be Todd Haven (126-132), Dan Tobin (145-155), Rocky Anaya (112) and Jeff Neeley (133-145). Haven had a 24-5 record last year, Tobin was 17-6 and Anaya was 11-2. Three freshmen, Ted Ingle, Todd Pasick and Tim Dawn, also could help the team, notes Dudley. "It will be hard to follow in the footsteps of the last three years, but we have the nucleus of a strong team this year,” said Dudley. “We’re going to be short a few weight classes." As a result, Dudley expects to be a stronger tournament team and is currently pointing toward the Hastings, Wyoming Rogers, Union City and Delton tournaments. “1 think we should improve with ex­ perience as we go along," concludes Dudley. "I think we will eventually be a good team.” DELTON Wrestling Nov. 30 Dec. 2 Dec. 6 Dec. 14 Jan. 4 Jan. 8 Jan. 11 Jan. 15 Jan. 18 Jan. 22 Jan. 26 Jan. 29 Feb. 1 Feb. 8 Feb. 15 Maple Valley Pennf ield Plainwell Harper Creek Comstock Hastings Tourn Otsego Rogers Inv.

He bases that hope on a talented group of jayvee wrestlers. He says as many as three freshmen will start with as many as eight or nine contribu’.'ng. "It's a good group of kids,” says Kimble. The team also will have plenty of depth with 35 wrestlers out for the team. "That’s more than we've ever had before,” says Kimble. Three seniors, four juniors and two sophomores return this season for the Vikings. The returning seniors are Scott Jackson (119-pound weight class), Scott Covell (155) and Tim Meyers (heavyweight). The jjniors are Theron Story (112), Greg Elliott (126), and David Strong (138) and Ken Stoepker (145), The two sophomores are John Maurer (119) and Mike Meyers (185).

Ricketts will have only six returning letlerwinners with which to work. To make matters worse. Ricketts points out, "even those returnees don't have much ex­ perience.” The heart of the team will come from senior captain Dennis Gardner (145-pound weight class), senior Joe Allwardt (119), junior Dean Stewart (138), and sophomores Lane Brown (112), Scott Joostbems (126), Ken Trumble (98). Ricketts says the lack of an area youth wrestling program hinders his attempts to build a varsity team. "Because we don't have any kind of a youth program this will be the first time most of the kids have seen a mat,” says Ricketts of the varsity team. "It’s hard to develop wrestling fundamentals at the varsity level." Ricketts believes Bronson, Pennfield and Springfield are the teams to beat in the Southern Michigan Athletic Conference. He says Maple Valley has wrestled Pennfield and Springfield in the past. "We always held our own too,” says Ricketts, "but it is going to be a learning experience for us th:s year. "The kids are aggressive, they aren’t going to back down. They’re keeping their spirits up. I think we’ll be okay in the second half of the season." 184; B. Wilkins. 178; G. Scobey, 149: P.

Kensington had the best record on the team last year at 13-7. Furrow calls this team the most promising he’s had since the 1975-76 team, be! he is realistic in the appraisal of it. "The kids set individual goals, but we win as a team. If the kids are able to meet iheir goals the team might have a better than .500 season." says Furrow.

Yonkers was 28-6 a year ago The fourth senior, Bill Perry (198), didn't start last year but is expected to bolster the team this year Other junior starters this year include Terry Sensiba (126), Paul Ordway (138), Randy Winchester (145), Nathan Briggs (185) and Mark LJoyd (heavyweight). Sophomores that will be starting include Jack Posthumus (98), Dan Moure (112), and Rob Anders (132). Middleville has exceptional depth on the team with 39 wrestlers on the roster. Lehman says those numbers should help the team. "A lot of those wrestlers have varsity experience so we shouldn’t be too bad,” he says. “But we're going to have to wait and see how they wrestle." Lehman says Hamilton, last year’s OKBlue champ, is loaded again this year with almost everybody back. Hudsonville and Comstock also will have representative teams. "Just about everybody in our league is good, but I think we can stay with just about anybody," says Lehman. Put someone you know ... in the know.

We still 5ZdXtha"’9’“”CanadaBaesea"d Antlers and deer tales told by John Lerg Department of Natural Resources biologist Approach any group of hunters around a buck, and you will find them looking at lhe antlers. How many points does he have How long are lhe tines. How wide is the rack between the beams. How big are the antlers at their bases. Often under this ciose scrutiny, fallacies are repeated. During the buck’s first year he grows spike horns. Each year thereafter he adds either a point or a se. of points. Every buck, if allowed to grow old, would even­ tually develop a rack of trophy proportions Genetics, nutrition, and injuries are the real clues to antler dimensions. Studies done in the Upper Peninsula, long known for its trophy racks, show that an individual buck grows his own characteristic rack year after year. Sure, the number of points may in­ crease each year, but collect them and line them up and they all will have a similarity about them. Does the rack sweep up or more forward? Are the tines short or long? Do the tips of the beams point in or forward, up or down? All of these characteristics are gentically controlled. Nutrition often determines the size of the rack in any given year. Each year, biologists check 14 year old bucks with spikes that are less than three inches long. Often, they come from nutritionally poor areas such as Drummond Island or the Club Country of northeastern lower Michigan. Biologists also check 10, 11 and 12 point bucks that are only 14 years old. The farmed areas of southern lower Michigan'often produce these fine racks. Nutrition is the key. Injuries cause deformities in the racks Sometimes when the antlers are still in the velvet in early fall, deer will begin rubbing them against trees too soon. Points may break off or beams may take on a clubshaped appearance. While the antlers are still growing, an injury may result in the formation of an atypical rack where the points just away from the beam at odd angles. As bucks grow older, their racks usually increase in size and number of points However, from the beginning, the genetics of this deer control how big his rack can eventually grow. Some deer comgenetically equipped for 12 to 16 point racks. Others can only hope for 6 to io point racks. Bucks usually .each their peak in development by the time they reach s»i years After 64 to 74 years of age, bucks enter old age and their rack size diminishes. Eleven to twelve years is as old as deer usually get in the wild. Hunting and accident shorten the life expectancy to less than 2 years for bucks and 3 years for does so it is extremely i are that a deer ever reaches this biological life expectancy. About 70 to 80 percent of the 14 year old bucks are harvested each deer season in Michigan. The same percentage of 24, 34, 44, and older bucks are also harvested. Trophy racks can start when the animal is as young as 24 years old. There are also a lot of mounted 14 year old bucks. Like beauty, a trophy is in the eye of the beholder.

With an "Old Fashioned Holidays” theme, the session, held at the Church of '.he Nazarene in Hastings, included traditional foods prepared with new techniques and equipment plus tips on reducing stress during the holidays. The program was presented by four home economists including Barry County’s Jan Hartough. Working with her were Dorothy Bildner of Hillsdale County, Jan Seitz of Jackson County, and Kathy Foerster of Branch County. The home economists showed how to prepare 18 different foods — everything from cheese pennies to eggnog coffeecake — and the audience had the chance to sample all of them after the program as well as take home the recipes.

Police say they are investigating the possibility of a second suspect in the brutal slaying of Frances Young. 72, and Helen Mott, 77, at a home on Parker Rd. “We’re still interviewing people at this time. We don’t know for sure if there is a second suspect," says Detective Kenneth DeMott of the Barry County Sheriff Department. Kevin Eugene Grote, of 214 Allen Blvd., was arraigned in circuit court Tuesday on two counts of i irst degree murder, two counts of felony murder, and one count of armed robbery. Grote was led into the courtroom by two sheriff deputies about 5 p.m. Dressed in green dungarees with "County Jail” sten­ ciled on the back, Grote stood with his hands behind his back before Judge Richard “Were still Interviewing people. We don't know for sure If there Is a second suspect”... Ken DeMott, Barry County Sheriff detective. Robinson as Prosecutor Judy Hughes read off the charges. A plea of not guilty was entered by Judge Robinson. Investigators say they picked up Grote at his home near downtown Kalamazoo, late Monday afternoon, and brought him to the Barry County Sheriff Departmen’ for questioning, where he was placed under arrest. Investigators say Grote, who has served time in the Barry County jail, knew the two women. According to Detective Sgt. Robert Golm of the Wayland State Police Post, Grote was known to have cut and stacked wood for Mrs. Young in September, and "unexpectedly appeared" at the women’s Amway speaker says company’s done no wrong by Robert J. Johnston Vern Morse, Michigan's largest Amway distributor, said, Wednesday, that the company has done "nothing negative to the Canadian government" and blamed the firm's troubles on a former Amway em­ ployee, who now works lor the Detroit Free Press. Morse spoke at the annual Farm-City luncheon of the Hastings Kiwanis Club. Morse said that Ed Engel, a former Amway executive who is now vice-president in charge of finances for the Free Press, "wanted to get even.” "He was asked to resign,"Morse said. "He wasn’t a competent emp»oyee. He was a troublemaker. ” Morse said that Engel took documents with him when he left Amway, which he later used to convince Canadian officials that “they show fraud and deceit." Morse, whose distributorship operates in the Toronto area, said business in Canada for him was up in both October and November despite adverse publicity. Canadian Amway workers told him, he said, that “everybody over here knows our government is crooked. Vern Morse. Michigan’s largest Amway dis­ tributor. speaks to the Hastings Kiwanis Cfub Wednesday noon. (Banner photo) If the government is opposed to Amway, then everyone wants to get on a course opposite of the government.” Morse, a former Lowell school principal who now lives in Battle Creek, said that if Canadian tariffs on Amway products are raised, the consumers will end up paying the extra cost, not the company. He explained that the Canadian govern­ ment, since 1980, has sought to collect tariffs on the full wholesale price of the goods being shipped to that country, instead of a reduced price as had been done previously. The reduced price was granted for 15 years, he said, because of bonuses paid to distributors, which were not figured into the cost at regular wholesale prices. He said Lhat the money Canada is trying to tax is money that never gets close to Canada. "Right now," he said, "the Canadia government is extracting a tax from a check that is sent from Amway to my house.” He said that is "almost ridiculous" to call the Canadian case against the company a criminal case because "there was no criminal activity." Amway founders Richard DeVos and Jay Van Andel and two executives had criminal Charges filed against them in Canada. They face extradition preceding*- after they failed to appear at a hearing in Ottawa, two weeks ago. “Our constitution guarantees them that they will have a trial here," Morse said, “to find out if the Canadian government has a case." Morse, who has been an Amway distributor .for 13 years, said the battle is part of a trade war that has been going on bet­ ween the U.S. and Canada. He said that the Canadian government is at war with its own citizens because when tariffs are raised, it never hurts the company involved, but hurts its citizens who have to pay higher prices. Morse also said the Wisconsin attorney general is trying to stop four Amway distributors from telling people they can become millionaires through the company. Morse said each of the four have become millionaires, as he has, and he doesn’t see how the government can stop them from telling people that. Reciting the Amway story, Morse said that the company has tripled its size in the last five years, growing at a pace of 20 to 30 percent a year. Continued on page 2 home the day before Thanksgiving to do the same In addition, Grote was known to area law enforcement officials for a September, 1981 break-in of the Prairie Schooner bar on S. Norris Rd., near the Young residence. "The original thing that triggered looking at (Grote) was that Grote knew these women, and they knew Grote, and we knew Grote because we had him in jail," says Dave Wood. Barry County Sheriff According to Golm. there are also "a number of things”, meaning physical evidence, that ties Grote into the killings. Grote was released from the county jail in September after serving a one-year sentence for the Sept. 17 break-in at the Prairie Schooner. He was found guilty in a jury trial April 23 of breaking and entering of a building to commit a felony. In addition to jail time, Grote also received three years probation, and was fined $450, payable after his release from jail. Grote is also known to law enforcement agencies in Florida. He received a five year sentence there in March, 1977, for grand larceny, and served two years in prison before being paroled in Oct., 1979, court records show, In Jan , 1980, Grote was sentenced to one year in Florida for car theft. He was released in Jan., 1981. In August, he returned to Michigan. Court records show that at the time of his Sept., 1981 arrest for the Prairie Schooner break-in, Grote gave his address as 13435 S.

Vol. 127, No. 48 Hastings, Michigan (Banner photo) Thursday, December 9,1982 Algonquin Lake issue “on hold” The controversy over the lake level at Algonquin Lake is temporarily "on hold," said John Rugg, vice president of the lake association. A new hearing date of January 14 has been set in Berry County Circuit Court pertaining to the temporary restraining order preventing the Algonquin Lake Association from opening the dam gate which controls the lake level. Last Friday’s scheduled court date was '•ancelled on the request of the Algonquin Lake Association's attorney, James Fisher, to give the association more time to in­ vestigate its options with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, Rugg said. However, he said a representative from the DNR did not show-up at a meeting Monday when the association board hoped to discuss possible alternatives regarding the lake level. "The DNR said it wouldn’t get involved in our controversy, but would take action on its own behalf," Rugg said. The controversy over the lake level became heated when the association opened the dam gate to lower the lake level on Nov. 27, despite warnings from the DNR that the action allegedly was illegal without a permit. The lake lowering had been approved by a majority vote of association members as part of its weed control and improvement of water quality programs. The lake association board had announced last August that the lake would be lowered eight and one-half feet until March in an attempt to kill weeds. Whpn the association proceeded to open the dam gate last month, Rush Stidham, a lake area businessman, obtained a tem­ porary restraining order against the action. Stidham, who owns the Stidham Gravel Co., has said he sought the court injunction “merely to protect myself.” He claims that the last time the lake level was lowered, his well was affected and cost $5,000 to have it redrilled. He also said 28 other wells were affected by the draw-down. About 30 lake area residents have expressed disapproval of the draw down to the DNR too. Members of the association board have noted that there is no concrete proof that lowering the lake level affected the wells Bliss, Local 414 reach tentative accord at Wednesday meeting Members of UAW Local 414 are to vote Friday morning on a contract proposal with E.W. Bliss Co. The vote will be held at 8:30 a.m. at the Local 414 Hall on Woodlawn Ave. James Morway, Local 414 president, and Herman Bottcher, acting industrial relations director for the company, announced Wednesday that they had reached a tentative agreement. They had their final negotiating session that day. The two sides have been bargaining since late August, when the company sought new negotiations under a wage-opening clause of the contract. The three year contract was signed in 1980. On Aug. 31, the contract was extended to Sept. 24. The bargainers then extended the contract on a day-to-day basis until the agreement was reached, Wednesday. No details of the pact will be released until after Friday’s vote results. The union has approximately 120 em­ ployees working and about 330 on layoff. State officials start work on economic development program here by Robert J. Johnston The ball is rolling on stabilizing Barry County's economy. Last night, the Joint City-County Economic Development Commission met with officials from the state Department of Labor to work on ways to retain present industry and to bring new uusiness and in­ dustry into the county and city. The state officials will now conduct in­ dividual interviews with the five commission members and other key members of the community, James Houck, section chief foi the office of industry training, said. Houck said that the state's work will focus on industry retention and development along with an education program for members of the joint commission. "I think the commission is trying to get a firmer handle on what the needs are," Houck said "Before we can do that, we are going to have to have more information.” He doesn’t expect the interviews to be completed until mid-January. At that time, he and his supervisor, Richard Baker, will make some recommendations for the commission. Houck said that his office provides technical assistance to communities which have experienced major plant closings or general economic decline. “We work with chambers of commerce, county officials and city officials to put together a local effort for an economic ad­ justment strategy,” Houck said. “We examine each of the important economic- sectors to determine what the basic poten­ tials are. We also conduct in-depth studies to determine what elements need to be brought together." He said that he was impressed with the planning that has been done in the county, especially the Overall Economic Develop­ ment Plan put together in 1978. "That's a darn good plan," Houck said. “It’s well pul together, well thought out. I don't know if we have to remake the wheel, we just have to find out why the wheel isn’t turning." t He said that methodology and information contained in the report was “impressive”. He also noted that the county has a land use plan, the city has a master plan and a recent profile of the county has been developed by the Department of Commerce. “‘I don’t know if we lack information or data," Houck said. "It may be a matter of priorities.” Houck said that the county has a “fairly strong” manufacturing base and a lot of timber, which is unusal for a southern Michigan county. He expects his office to be working on the project for Barry County for at least six months, and up to a year. He said that the length of a project varies due to the population base, the industrial base and the diversity of the county. "We usually meet with local officials and then have a public meeting to determine if enough people are behind the effort," he said. "It really takes a strong committment from a lot of people. A lot of volunteer time is required. There are innumerable meetings with whatever local committees and sub­ committees are required." Houck added that they try to broaden th; base o, the project as much as possible so that it his work doesn’t become just a con­ sulting service. Michael Trahan, chairman of the joint commission, said state officials indicated that Barry County is further along toward development than other areas they have encountered. "The commission is looking for some kind of direction, organizational type recom­ mendations," he said. Trahan said that a new county tourists' brochure has been produced by the com­ mission. under the direction of Bev Warren, who heads the tourism committee of the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce. Official members of the joint commission are David Jasperse and William Cook, representing die Hastings City Council; Kenneth Radant and James Gordon, representing the Barry County Board of Commissioners; and Trahan, representing the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce.

"While our state's new drunk driving laws will hopefully be effective in deterring the incidence of drunk driving," explained Eaton, ' it is not realistic to expect that our criminal justice system can eradicate this problem. Il is vital that additional efforts be made to help protect the victims of these crashes.’’ Last year 899 fatalities and 34.536 injuries Hastings occurred in crashes involving a drinking driver. It is estimated that nearly half of the front-seat passengers involved in these crashes could have avoided serious injury if seat belts had been worn. •'It isunquestionable. " said Eaton, "that JSJi* are besl Possible means af­ forded at this time to protect people from sustaining serious injury in traffic crashes Since more than half of our traffic fatalities are alcohol-related. it also follows that seal bell legislation is one of the most important steps our Legislature can take to help reduce the incidence of death and injury due to drunk driving."

Rut I won't venture out on the streets like I did when I was a kid," says Faunce. John Cheeseman of Nashville has been victimized by criminals several times, and has taken precautions against it happening again. b “We've been broke into, and I've had a couple trucks stolen." says Cheeseman. But we ve got dogs that bark, and they pretty well take care of it." "I do think something should be done about the laws, to take the handcuffs off the police and let them do what they should instead of protecting the criminal so much" says Cheeseman. "Of course you’d have to feel insecure in your own home." says Jean Crittenden of Hastings. "There's no doubt of it. because these crimes have been happening more and more and more, and there's just no way that you can have any sense of security." says Crittenden. "People seem to have a violent nature, and the times have seemed to have aty Melvin Brooks brought it out a great deal.” Crittenden says her family locks the doors now, "where we didn't use to." "We don’t just walk out of the house and say goodbye. You have to lock it up, everybody has to have the right key." says Crittenden. "I never use to lock my doors, but now I do even in the day. even when I'm home alone," says Ann Hamaty of Hastings. “I just feel that no one is really safe in Hastings. I used to think that I was safe, but not anymore.' says Hamaty. Melvin Brooks of Hastings says he and his neighbors cooperate to keep the neigh­ borhood safe. “We lock the house up. and watch what's going on in the neighborhood, sort of keep our eyes open." says Brooks. He feels there is a "good probability" that he could be a victim of violent crime. �The Hastings Banner. Thursday.

Mrs. Martin spent the last few years of her teaching career at Hastings’ rural Pleasantview School. In fact, the school received its name from Mrs. Martin. During an interview with the Reminder in April of 1980, she said she was inspired by the pleasant view from her classroom window and decided to submit the name of Pleasantview to the school board when it was seeking suggestions to name the building.

A former 4-H leader, she taught sewing, bird study, wild flowers, and conservation. She married Howard Martin, Sr. on June 29,1916. He preceded her in death on January 1, 1956. Mrs. Martin is survived by two sons: Howard, Jr. of Hastings and Arland of Petoskey; four grandchildren, two great­ grandchildren, one brother, Emmet Flynn of Allegan; one sister, Georgia Gilligan of Hopkins, Mi; and several nieces and nephews.

During the interview two years ago, Mrs. Martin reflected about her first teaching job at a salary of $40 per month. Part of the duties of a teacher at that time were ringing a huge school bell, preparing hot noon meals for students and taking home the dirty washroom towels to launder. Mrs. Martin will long be remembered by her friends for her kindness, vitality, poetry, and for her homebaked cookies and cupcakes that she gladly gave to others. She once said, "I’ve always liked to bake, but I don’t like to cook.” Besides teaching, Mrs. Martin was active in a number of organizations. She served as the first president of the Barry County Association of Retired School Personnel. She received a special award from that state association for her “long and dedicated sen-ice in improving the status and welfare of the older citizen.” She was a member of the Michigan and National Education Association. Mrs. Martin, also was the recipient in 1979 of a parish award from St. Rose of Lima Church for "giving of herself to the parish, community, and all the other nice things she does for people..." She was active with the St. Monica Guild, STONEY POINT FREE METHO­ DIST. Wellman Rd at E. Stole Rd Rev Douglas Demoed. Pastor 552 E Timm St. Hastings.

December 9. 1982 — Page 5 Choose toys, games that outlast the holiday season! Games and toys are "best bet" gift ideas for adults and children. But, too often, games and toys bought by .frantic, last- inute shoppers run the risk of providing only a few hours' entertainment on Christmas morning — with their appeal being played out by the end of the day Here are some tips of choosing toys and games, including the new electronic ones, that will provide fun on Christmas morning — and all through the year. Know what you’re buying. Major game­ publishers simplify the task by describing the game play and age ranges right on the package. These game companies have studied children at play and know what kinds of games appeal to each age group: board games for very young children should be simple, with few rules and winning based mostly on chance. For children who can’t yet read, Parker Brothers has created special, no-reading-required games which are based on classic storybooks and timely themes. Once a parent explains the game, the youngsters can play without adult super­ vision. There are games based on the merry, magical ‘ Frosty the Snowman". “Holly Robbie", and "Peter Rabbit”, to name a few. For the six to twelve set, kids who keep up with the latest TV shows, there are board games based or popular television series: "Mork and Mindy", "The Muppet Show", and “Fangface" games. These allow pre- teens to play out the adventures of their favorite home-screen characters. About age ten, many children begin to show a bent for strategy games like chess and checkers, which offer challenging, mental stimulation and give Mom and Dad a chance to get involved in the fun, too. For chess buffs who hate to wait while their partner agonizes over a move, “All the King's Men" is an innovative game for two. Players move their knights and archers in strategic battle formations to capture their opponent's king. Designed io accommodate different levels of skill, “All the King's Men" can be played by beginners and experts. Games the whole family can play together are a good buy and offer hours of fun, Regain the simple joys of Christmas Has Christmas become “too much of a good thing?" Do you almost dread the carols on the radio and the jingle bells on every corner? It need not be. If the holiday season seems to be “swallowing you up", resolve that this year you will take a stand. You will deliberately seek the simple, unhurried route, and let the commercial whoop-andholler pass you by. Invite the simple pleasures of the season by creating the right, environment for yourself and your family. Limit the intrusion of radio and television onto the scene. After dinner, have the family gather ’round to listen to "The Nutcracker" ballet by Tschaikovsky. Be spontaneous! If anyone wants to play the various parts in the magical tale, encourage her or him to do it. There are many other musical pieces which lend themselves to family enjoyment this time of the year. At bedtime, read aloud from Dickens' "Christmas Carol"... or better yet. let the youngsters take turns in reading passages. “A Visit from Saint Nicholas" by Dr Clement Moore is an all-time favorite to be enjoyed at Christmas. In the library, you Live trees are ecologically sound If you want a traditional live evergreen tree for Christmas but wonder if it’s ecologically sound, don t worry. It is. Forestry experts point out that trees aie renewable. And, since almost all Christmas trees are specially grown for holiday use on scientifically managed “tree farms", their use doesn’t deplete the forest. The tree farms, in fact, offer en- vironmental side-benefits. Christmas trees flourish on thin soil that is generally un­ suitable for other "crops". This means land that might otherwise lie fallow is produc­ tively used and esthetically improved. Foresters say that Christmas tree stands also help to stabilize the soil and provide browse and habitat for wildlife and small game. Puritans rejected Christmas Until 1881, a Massachusetts law prohibited celebrating Christmas "by feasting, or any other way." Like thousands of dour-faced reformers, gloomy New Englanders had ignored the holiday. They feared that Christmas was the work of the devil, and if not, certainly the frivolous. As the patron saint of Saturnalia, Santa Claus was rejected as barbarous by the good, but over-religious folk of New England. Eventually, the Dickens concept of the holiday was accepted. The citizens of Boston, "the Athens of the New World", came to realize that Christmas could be a happy time, with socializing. might find a collection^of stories and poems from the old "St. Nicholas" magazines of 7080 years ago. They capture the charm of an era to be rediscovered with delight. Christmas is an ideal time to rediscover your friends and neighbors, perhaps people who are a blur in the rush of your pell-mell life — these people have much to offer. They probably would like to know you and your family better, too. If you live not too far from the w’oods, plan a trip to cut down your own trees. If a friendly farmer does not oblige by offering his bounty, consider choosing trees at special tree farms. The regional office of your state depart­ ment dealing with environmental con­ servation no doubt lias a list of tree farms in your area. It's much more fun to choose a tree from this source. The entire family can participate; with friends and neighbors, it’s even more fun. For decorating, the tree considered best by many is the Douglas fir. Thick and sym­ metrical, its branches seem made-to-order for ornaments. Another virtue: it lasts a long lime indoors, with proper care and watering. Y’ou might also consider white spruce, Scotch pine and Norway spruce. Making your own tree ornaments is a custom going back several centuries. The entire family will enjoy making paper chains, stringing popcorn or cranberries, folding silver foil into twinkling stars. Left-over wrappings from previous years are ideal for making paper chains — the more colorful, the merrier! Even if you are not a “baking” family, ’tis the season for something lovin' from me oven. Bake gingerbread men, “star” cookies, chocolate chip cookies — whatever pleases the family... and, don't forget Imurbon balls for the grown-ups. All these taste infinitely better than store-boughi goodies, no matter how delicious. laughter and entertainment. For "What, me worry?" fans and any family who is prone to he a little “mad” al limes, there's the brand new "Mad Magazine Game", as zany and unpredictable as the popular magazine. The popularity of electronic and com­ puterized games and toys has soared in the past few years, and they are sure to be on a great many childrens — and adults' — "most-wanted" lists this Christmas. More than 75 electronic items are available this year, and it takes a smart shopper to sort out the great gadgets from the gimmicks. When shopping for an elec­ tronic plaything: Read the warranty and instruction book before you buy. If the game or toy isn't guaranteed or there's no return policy at the store, you may be disappointed later. Reputable manufacturers have good quality controls, but if you have any problems, contact the manufacturer's consumer response department. Look at the way the game or toy is con­ structed. It should look and feel sturdyenough to be handled often. Compare different companies' offerings. Some games have more features — foi about the same price. For example, "Merlin, the electronic wizard" plays six different games. Look for a game where the computer really does perform a unique function — something that can't be done with dice or a spinner, for example. Most electronic and computerized toys and games operate on batteries, but many can also be powered by an adapter. It's a good idea to have the game with you when shopping for an adapter so that you buy the right one. Look for a theme the recipient will enjoy. There are electronic games based on sports, detectives, strategy and science fiction, to name a few. An original game from Parker Brothers this Christmas is "Stop Thief”, an electronic board game of cops and robbers, in which players use a computer to track down and arrest a thief. For young sci-fi fans, there's “ROM. the Space Knight", an electronic action figure that comes to life with glowing eyes and futuristic sound ef­ fects. His three accessories light up and emit an exciting repertoire of zaps and buzzes. Good, hand-held electronic games should offer different levels of skill so that they're still challenging, even after many hours of play. "Wildfire", for instance, a new, hand­ held. electronic pinball game, can be set at three speed levels and can keep score for up to four players. It’s fun for beginner or ex­ pert. adult or child. This Christmas, take a good look at your game and toy department purchases before wrapping them up to set under the tree. Shop wisely, and you'll be sure to find that those playthings will last for years.

Couples and Sandals, are limited to couples only and provide everything including room accommodations, all meals, unlimited wine, bar drinks and cigarettes, all sports activities with instruction and evening enter­ tainment. All tips, taxes and gratuities are also included. Negril Beach Village, which has been completely renovated, has a similar program but appeals more to singles. You can sail, scuba dive, play tennis, water ski or go horseback riding at no additional charge; just leave your wallet at home. Trelawny Beach Club offers the same features as the other resorts, but is geared more towards a mix of couples, singles and families with children. In addition to the facilities at the hotel, optional tours of the island can be arranged. Jamaica is a lovely island especially well suited for those who enjoy the beach and water sports. The scenery is varied and spectacular, so you might wish to rent a car for a day or two and explore a bit on your own. If the Club concept doesn't appeal to you, we can suggest other hotels and villas to suit every budget and taste.

Thursday, December 9. 1982 — Page 6 Local“celebrities”share tasty holiday treats If you don't have a fancy plate, deMink says a piece of cardboard, covered with aluminum foil can be attractive. Another good hors d’oeuvre using the bread rounds for a base is: 1 cup mayonaisse; two-thirds cup parmassean cheese; 4-cup finely chopped onion. Toast the bread rounds slightly. Then sprinkle a little onion on each bread round. Mix mayonaisse and the parmasean cheese together. Put a large dollop on each bread round and place under the broiler until golden brown. One of the best parts of the holiday season is the delicious food that conies from the ovens and stoves in nearly every borne. Because Christmas is a time for sharing, we sent our reporters out. this week, to ask some local celebrities" to share their favorite recipes. Here are the tasty results: Holiday treats combine old and new worlds In Poland, gourmet traditions are as old as Polish culture and the cuisine is an unusual variety of dishek, notes Mary Lou Gray, Hastings City Councilwoman. "Being only the second generation of my family to be bom in the United States, I tried to retain as much tradition as possible,” says Gray. She says that in Poland, the main Christmas meal is served on Christmas eve. "The essence of the Polish Christmas eve meal is a unique Polish ceremony - the breaking of the bread. A white, almost transparent wafer is used, embossed with a symbolic Christmas scene. Each member of the family has a wafer on their plate, and at the beginning of the meal, starting from the eldest member, in turn to the youngest, the wafer is passed, each person breaking off and eating a piece, ex­ plains Gray. Gray describes the wafe** as "a symbol of love, sharing and forgiveness. "One does not approach the Christmas eve table without forgiving and forgetting, without being able to wish everyone well with a whole heart." Gray calls tThe meal that usually follows a "delicious display of traditional dishes." Gray says Polish meals used to be meatless, but today meat is usually included, and usually consists of Polish sausage or ham. It is customary at these meals, says Gray, to set an extra place, "ready and waiting for a lonely traveler who may knock that night on the door, or for the loved ones who are far away, but may join their families in spirit." Gray offers us two recipes, one for a traditional poppy seed roll, and one for a .variation of a traditional cranberry sauce - a cranberry jello salad. Poppy Seed Rolls Dough: two-thirds cup butter 44 cups pre-sifted, all purpose flour one cup confectioners sugar, sifted two eggs three egg yolks 4 cup sour cream or coffee cream one teaspoon vanilla one tablespoon grated lemon rind two ounces yeast one tablespoon sugar Filling: two tablespoons butler ten oz. poppy seeds, ground twice two-thirds cup sugar two tablespoons honey two tablespoons finely chopped, candied orange rind two tablespoons finely chopped almonds one tablespoon grated lemon rind one teaspoon vanilla extract 4 cup raisins, steamed one egg white, whipped stiff Icing: one cup confectioners sugar two tablespoons lemon juice To make dough: Cut the butter in the flour with a knife and rub in with fingertips.

Add sugar, lemon and pineapple syrup. Stir well. Chill until partially set. Fold in remaining ingredients. Allow to set until firm. Dawn Howe, president of Pennock Hospital's Tour Guild and wife of Hastings Mayor Kenneth Howe, claims a pistachio dessert is her family’s favorite Christmas recipe. Mrs. Howe tells the story of how her husband, who dislikes lime, thought at first this dessert was actually lime-flavored because of the greenish color. Ken's sister finally got him him to try the pistachio dessert and he's wanted Mrs. Howe to make Hie dessert every year since. Carolyn Coleman Sarah Fisher Mike Wood Ruth Hughes cheese cake layer: 8-oz. cream cheese, at room temperature; 14-cup (creamy type) cottage cheese; 3- eggs; 4- cup white sugar; 1-teaspoon vanilla; >.i-teaspoon grated lemon rind; 4-teaspoon lemon extract.

When everything is solid, spread whipped topping on top lone large box frozen and thawed or two packages dreamwhip whip­ ped) . Sprinkle the half cup reserved crumbs over the lop. The favorite Christmas recipe of Kathryn Ferris, president of the Barry County Republican Women, is for date pinwheel cookies. She says she’s made the cookies every year except one for the last 25 years. Mrs. Ferris got the recipe from the Farm Bureau Cookery which was compiled many years ago by the Farm Bureau Women of Grand Traverse Leelanau County bureau. Date Pinwheel Cookies Dough: One cup shortening, two cups brown sugar, three eggs, four cups flour and a half teaspoon ol salt and a half teaspoon of soda. Filling: One cup of sugar, two and a quarter cups of chopped pitted dates, one cup water, one cup of chopped pecans. Combine the sugar, dates, and water. Cook for 10 minutes and add nuts and chill before spreading dough. Cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Adds eggs one at a time and beat well. Mix flour, soda and salt together and add to butter mixture. Mix throughly and chill. Divide dough into equal parts and roll each to quarter inch thickness. Spread with filling and roll as jelly roll. Chill overnight. Slice one quarter inch thick slices. Place and cookies sheets and bake at 400 degrees 10-12 minutes. Ruth Miller, president of the Hastings Women's Club, says she has been making chocolate peanut brittle for five years. She says she's made both chocolate and regular peanut brittle for a number of years, but her family prefers the chocolate. Chocolate Peanut Brittle Ingredients: twocups sugar, one cup white karo syrup, one half cup water, three squares baking chocolate or three packages of liquid baking chocolate. Bring ingredients to boil in a three quart pan and continue to cook on medium heat until it reaches 275 degrees on a candy thermometer. Add one pound of raw peanuts and continue to cook to 302 degrees. Stir because mixture burns easily. Remove from heat and add one teaspoon vanilla, one teaspoon salt, and two teaspoons soda Stir until well mixed. Pour out on a large teflon cookie sheet. Ruth Miller Pul cottage cheese through a sieve or a Foley food mill. Combine with cream cheese in a large mixing bowl. With mixer at lowest setting, blend cheeses and gently add the eggs, one at a time. Gradually add sugar, vanilla, grated rind and lemon extract or juice. Mix only until thoroughly blended. Pour over crust and place in oven at 350degrees. Bake 40-50 minutes (cake is done when its center becomes solid instead of liquid). Place on cake rack to cool. sour cream top: Dawn Howe which has been greased with butter or ma tarine. Spread out evenly and let set for about four minutes. With fingers greased, pull off pieces, thinning each piece and place on wax papier until throughly cooled. Store in metal containers layered with wax paper and keep in a dry place. Carolyn Coleman, former Barry County Commissioner who will begin serving a new district one term on the county board in January, says her carmel layer chocosquares are a big hit at holiday time as well as other times of the year. In fact, her daughter. Sally Coleman Keller, has put in a special request for "Mom" to make the carmel layer chocosquares this Christmas. Mrs. Coleman describes her recipe as a rich cookie. It can be baked to have a cake­ like appearance or gooey one, she said “Everybody likes it and the recipe makes a lot so it goes a long way." Making molasses cookies and chocolate cookies are a holiday tradition that the Coleman grandchildren enjoy helping with. “Sometimes the whole family gets into the act. said Mrs. Coleman. ' Carmel Layer Choco-squares Ingredients: l-can <6 oz.) evaporated milk, divided; 1-pkg. (14 oz.i cannels; 1-pkg. (17 to 18 oz.) German or Swiss chocolate cake mix. 4-cup melted butter or margerine; 1-cup chopped nuts; 1-pkg. (6 oz.) semi sweet chocolate pieces; In top of a double boiler, stir together onethird cup of the evaporated milk and carmels. Cook over hot water, stirring often, until mixture is smooth; set aside. Stir together cake mix. butter, remaining evaporated milk and nuts. Press half of dough into bottom of greased and floured 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan. Bake in 350-degree oven for six minutes and then sprinkle chocolate pieces on baked dough and top with melted carmel mixture. Mary Brown Crumble remaining dough over the lop and return to oven and continue baking 15 to 18 minutes. Cool and cut into bars. Makes two-dozen. Mary Brown, president of the Hastings Chapter of the American Field Services, always has a cheese cake on hand for Christmas. She has been using the same recipe for a baked cheese cake for 24 years and it’s at the top of the list of family favorites. Mary’s often asked by others to bring the cheese cake to special gatherings too "It was one of the first recipes I tried when my husband (Dr. Jack Brown) and I were married 24 years ago,” said Mary. The cheese cake has become such a family favorite that the couple’s oldest daughter, Susan, often requests it for her birthday cake. One reason Mary likes the cheese cake is because it’s a sophisticated dessert, but not one that is candy sweet. "It also goes well with a fish dinner because it is light," she said, adding that the lemon flavoring in the cake compliments a fish dinner. "While the dessert is rich and filling, it does redeem itself with some nutritious value," said Mary. 1 Baked Cheese Cake crust: 14-fine graham cracker crumbs; one-third cup brown sugar; 4-teaspoon cinnamon; one-third cup melted butter or oleo. Mix the above ingredients together until thoroughly blended. Press firmly in the bottom of a nine-inch spring form cake pan or nine-inch layer cake pan. Set aside while preparing cake layer. Take l-cup of plain sour cream and while cake is still hot (within five-minutes after removing from the oven), very gently spread the sour cream over the cake top. When cake cools, refrigerate at least four-hours, preferably overnight. Note: The cake absorbs, to some extent, the sour cream topping so once you smooth out the sour cream, do not repeat the procedure. If you should notice an uneveness appearing, it will be temporary and even­ tually smooth itself out. This cheese cake is particularly well suited for the meal that must be prepared a day or two in advance. The cake will actually keep in the refrigerator five to seven days. However, it also may be frozen. Chef Gerald deMink of Hickory Comers, who caters for private parties and weddings, is a real pro at concocting tasty and festivelooking hors d'oeuvres. Just ask anyone who attended the wedding of deMink's daughter, Julie, earlier this year. For his daughter's wedding deMink made 8.000 hors d'oeuvres. starting several months ahead of time and freezing them until the big day! Don’t be intimidated by thinking you can’t make fancy looking hors d'oeuvres, he said. "You can make hors d’oeuvres out of practically anything. Even leftovers are good." The secret of making hors d'oeuvres is "that you have to make them look beautiful because people eat with their eyes not their mouths," said deMink. Many times the base of deMink’s hors d'oeuvres are cut-out shapes of bread. You can use any kind of bread like wheat, ne, or white. He has a set of varying sizes of round cutters but says a person can use a small round glass to cut out the shapes from slices of bread. He says the bread rounds can be lightly toasted under the broiler or used plain. One simple idea that can look festive for the hors d'oeuvre topping on the bread rounds is to grate leftover chicken, add a little pickle relish and mayonaisse. spread it on small circle of bread and decorate it with fresh parsley or olives or pimientos for a lovely holiday or special occasion flair. “I buy parsley by the case for decorating foods." said deMink. "You can paint a picture with hors d'oeuvres ..like using lots of green and red (parsley and pimentos for instance). Use lettuce or a"y kind of greens for decoration too, he suggests. Also any vegetable buds like broccoli or califlower can lx? very decorative. Just cut off small pieces of the buds and place them between the hors d’oeuvres you have on a plate. Another interesting hors d’oeuvre revolves around using a can of bean dip. deMink fills fancy shaped butter molds with the bean dip and then places the shaped bean dip creation on a bread round. Put hot taco sauce on the top or spread a bit of the sauce on the bread round before putting the bean dip on it. If you don’t have a butter mold, deMink says the bean dip can be merely spread on the bread round "with a swirl.” Ground up liverwurs’ or chicken can also be put in the butter mold for another topping for the bread rounds. When making hors d'oeuvres try to use some spicy mustards and a few different ingredients one might not ordinarily use because hors d’oeuvres need pizzazz, he said. Or try using a tiny piece of Greek olive on top of an hors d’oeuvre, he said. A tasty and colorful hors d’oeuvre can be made by taking smoked turkey (cut with a round cutter, slightly smaller than the bread round) and a bread round spread with spicy mustard. Tuck a tiny piece of parsley bet­ ween the smoked turkey and the bread so that the leafy parsley sticks out. Then add a small piece of pimiento on top of the meat. Cream cheese also is versati’c for hors d’oeuvres. Often deMink will just add a little orange or lemon peel to cream cheese and use it as a spread for hors d'oeuvres. For a unique filling for deviled eggs, he suggests using chicken or tuna salad. A simple and nutritious hors d'oeuvre can be made with cheese, deMink said. Just alternate layers of white and yellow slices of cheese, stacking about eight slices together. Then cut them into small squares and place a fancy toothpick in the middle of each. Or if you have a set of round cutters, use one that is about the size of a nickel to cut the stacked cheese into shapes and put a toothpick in the middle. "Cheese is especially good with kids because you want something they will eat and its not junk food," he said. If you're having a party, make hors d’oeuvres that can be put under a broiler because it’s quick, says deMink. One such recipe is for chicken wing hors d'oeuvres: Cut chicken wings in half. (Cut off the tips and save them to make soup). Marinate the cut up chicken wings for 24 hours in a mix­ ture of soy sauce, white wine, and water (using equal parts of each). After marinating, place the chicken wings under the broiler or bake them, basting with the sauce until they are done. An important thing to remember is to "use a little imagination when making hors d’oeuvres. You’ll flop once in a while, but so what. It's not a biggie. If you never fail, then you've never done anything," said deMink. For at least seven years, Ruth Hughes, wife of Nashville’s village president John Hughes, has made Cathedral Window holiday bars as a special Christmas treat for her family. "One thing I like about them is that they store well," says Mrs. Hughes. "They are not as fragile as some cookies, and pack very well in gift boxes." The bars consist of a cookie base, topped by a rich layer of "frosting" which is given a stained window effect from multi-colored miniature marshmallows combined with chopped pecans and chocolate chips. Mrs. Hughes found the recipe a number of years ago on a Gold Medal flour sack and has adapted it for her own use by making a few adjustments in the original list of ingredients. Now it is an annual holiday favorite of her family — schoolteacher husband, John, and daughters, Samantha, 7, and Sarah, almost four. Mr. and Mrs. Hughes also are proprietors of Books, Etc. in Hastings. She is president of the Hastings Business and Professional Womens Club. Ruth’s recipe is as follows: Cathedral Window Holiday Bars Bottom Layer: 1 C butter or softened margarine Two-thirds C brown sugar, packed 2 eggs 2 C all-purpose flour Dash salt Top Layer: 8 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips 4 C butter or margerine 2 C powdered sugar 2 eggs, slightly beaten 1 pkg. (104 oz.) colored miniature marshmallows 1 C chopped pecans Heat own to 350 degrees Mix 1 cup butter, the brown sugar and 2 eggs; stir in flour and salt. Press in ungreased 13x9 inch oblong pan. Bake 25 minutes; cool. Heat chocolate and 4 cup butler in 3-quart saucepan over low heal, stirring contantly until chocolate is melted; remove from heat. Stir in powdered sugar and 2 eggs, beat until smooth. Stir in marshmallows and pecans. Spread over cookie base. Refrigerate at least 2 hours. Cut into bars about 2x14 in. Store covered with aluminum foil in refrigerator. Makes 32 bars. Note: Unbleached flour can be used in this recipe. Continued on next page �Recipes, continued The Hostings Bonner. Thursday. December 9. 1982 - Page 7 Il may stem unusual in many families for a 17-year-old boy to bake the Christmas cookies, but Michael Wood is an old hand in the kitchen. Mike has been baking and cooking meals since he was big enough to reach the stove and until he started working at McDonald s restaurant, last spring, he often cooked the family dinner. "That way 1 could fix what I wanted," he joked. His mother added that he makes a "super" meatloaf. Mike's only hooby isn’t cooking, though. He also is a certified scuba diver and has dived in practice sessions with the Sheriffs Department dive team. He is the son of Sheriff and Mrs. David 0. Wood The recipe he uses for Christmas cookies is one he first received from his kindergarten teacher. Avis Sponable, when he started at Central School in 1971. Mike makes special note of the need for soft oleo or butter, not hard and not melted. Room temperature is best, he said. 2 sticks oleo (soft) 1 egg 24 cups flour 1 tsp. cream of tarter 14 cup XXX sugar 1 tsp. vanilla 1 tsp. baking soda 4 tsp. salt Mix the ingredients together and roll out 4 inch thick, shape and bake at 400 degrees for six minutes. Variations on the recipe; Snowballs: add nuts and roll the cookies like marbles. Bake for eight to ten minutes, then roll in powdered sugar; Or: use 4 of the dough with nuts and 4 of the dough with candies, shape and sprinkle with sugar.

Florence Hunt was a pre-Thanksgiving guest of her daughter, Madeline, the Mar­ shall Meyers family, of rural Woodland, and the holiday with her daughter Barbara The secret of buying antiques lies in being able to bargain successfully. Constant association with pre-packaged fixed price mpermarkets and shopping centers has taught the buyer to shop price labels and special sales, neither of which are features of antique shops. Good antiques, due to their scarcity, are seldom or never placed on marked down sales. Usually when an antique shop is having a sale at discount, these itmes are damaged, marred or defective pieces which have not sold because of these flaus, and those that are not eagerly sought after or are losing their popularity as antiques. The truly desirable and popular items will always have to be purchased at the seller’s asking price, or at one negotiated between seller and buyer. The reason a fixed price for antique items does not exist is a complex one due to many factors involved. For instance, very few pieces of the same item can be found in the same condition even if made by the same man, of the same materials, and at nearly the same time. Having had a lifetime of a hundred or more years the condition of each piece will be different because of the variance in usage and care each received. This »s especially true in furniture. Even in glassware and ceramics there will be a difference in quality. Consider the differences ir condition if a piece was kept in Strongand family. Mrs. Hunt received word, Tuesday, of the death of Roy Hunt, of In­ dependence, Mo. He was 77 years old, and was Ihe brother of the late Vern Hunt.

A portrait of Tadum will soon hang on the wall at the post and she has been adopted by the organization.

Condition, then, is the most important factor in pricing antiques. Others are availability - can it easily be replaced if sold? Does it use much valuable storage space? Is it a seasonal item? Will it appreciate quickly or depreciate? These and other factors must be taken into consideration when the dealer attempts to price his merchandise. Prices also vary greatly in different sections of the United Slates. This allows for a great deal of leeway in pricing. Thus a dealer sets a price on the item at what he thinks it is worth or what he thinks the market will bear. He cannot be absolutely sure of either. He must be sure that it is high enough, for although he can come down in bargaining, he cannot raise it in the same situation. With a little practice in self-control, the buyer can sharpen his bargaining ability and put himself on a more equal footing with the dealer who, chances are. started out with the same handicap as the buyer. The first rule in bargaining is do not, under any circumstances, antagonize the seller in any way. The seller is your ally and must be treated as such. Believe it or not, he is on your side. He wants to sell you the item as much as you want to buy it. The two share a common goal. The second rule is do not start the bargaining process by stating with indignant conviction that the price is too high. This is a cardinal sin; an error that cannot be corrected. No matter how high you think it is, don’t angrily exclaim the fact, for in so doing you imply one of two things - that the seller doesn't know the real worth, or that he knowingly is over pricing for excessive profit. This forces the seller to defend his price. You leave him no way out. What can he say? Do you expect him to say he over­ prices everything loo high, thus leaving open to suspect all the other prices in the shop? Or do you expect him to admit that he really doesn't know its value? The result is not bargaining but deteriorates into an argument that has no winners. Consider the different atmosphere created by just saying the sympathy-seeking "I would really like to have it. It’s lovely, just what 1 want, but I can’t pay quite that much." Or, "If this piece were not so ex­ pensive. 1 might consider buying it.” By using this approach you create an opening for the seller to do a little bargaining. Remember most dealers started out as collectors and some are quite fond of the items they have to sell. They may ac­ tually lake great pleasure in selling to someone who appreciates the items quality. (Continued next week). Say to someone very special with a Banner Christmas Greeting ad.

The paintings were collected from museums, churches and private collections all over the world. The field trip was sponsored by the Hastings High Spanish Club.

Senator Levin. "This is an excellent opportunity for two young people from Michigan to experience fir­ sthand another culture. I hope that many secondary school principals will take advantage of this program by nominating their outstanding students to be con­ sidered for the program." Funded by the Finnish Government, the program allows each U.S. Senator in the states of Michigan Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oregon and Washington to appoint one student, selected by a state selection committee, to receive the scholarship. The par­ ticipating states were chosen based on their populations of Finnish ancestry. Each high school principal is being invited through a letter from the Michigan Senators to nominate up to three outstanding members of their junior class to the scholarship program based on the student’s academic standing, involvement in school and community ac­ tivities and ability to adapt to a ne*- or unusual en­ vironment. Nominations from the principals should be sent to Youth for Understanding, postmarked no later than January 12, 1982. The Finland-U.S. Senate Youth Exchange Program is being administered on behalf of the Finnish Government and the U.S. Senate by Youth for Un­ derstanding, an international student exchange organization, which makes it possible for more than 7,000 high school students to participate in a family living experience in 24 countries each year. “It is my hope that the Finland-U.S. Senate Youth Exchange Program will serve to create interest in international relations among our young people," concluded Senator Riegle. "As America continues to take a stronger role in international affairs, it is vitally important that we prepare our leaders of tomorrow to be prepared for this challenge.” For more information, write Youth for Un­ derstanding, 3501 Newark Street N.W., Washington, D.C. 20016, or call toll free, (800) 424-3691.

Thursday, December 9. 1982 — Page 10 County cage teams in action this weekend by Steve Vedder All five Barry County high schools will be in action this weekend with four games slated for Friday night and one on Saturday. In Friday night's action, Hastings (1-1) will be at Jackson Northwest. Delton (1-1) will travel to Paw Paw, Middleville (2-0) will host Hudsonville, and Lakewood will open it's season at Sparta. On Saturday night. Charlotte will be at Maple Valley (0-1). The Hastings-Northwest game will be the Twin Valley opener for both teams. The Saxons will go into the game having beaten Caledonia in their opener. 64-00, while losing tn Ionia 78-71 on Tuesday Sophomore guard Mark Brown has been nothing short of phenomenal in the first two Hastings outings scoring 47 and 41 poinls. Brown has hit 36 of 61 field goals and 16 of 19 free throws. The Saxons as a team, however, have been plagued by a lack of rebounding (they've been outboarded 28-25 and 28-21), and tur­ novers (18 against Ionia) in their opening ballgames. O’Mara had picked Jackson Northwest as one of the preseason teams to beat in the Twin Valley this season. “They should be a good team," acknowledges O'Mara of the Mounties. "Of course, things can change from the start of the season and I don’t really know who will be good this year. "We’re going to have to play good defense and play more together. We got a little bit disorganized against Ionia." Middleville hopes to make it three straight wins when they open the OK-Blue season at home against Hudsonville. Coach Skip Pranger's veteran team has shown excellent scoring balance in it's first two game, with three people in double ligures the first game and four the second. Dave Perry has tossed in 20 and 14 points to lead the Trojans while Jim Schipper has countered with 23 assists and 31 points in the two games. "We've played two games away from home and we've won them both so I’m happy,’’ said Pranger. He adds that Hud­ sonville won't be a tall team, but they will be able to shoot and play defense. "Hudsonvfile has always had a good program. They've always been a lough game for us," Pranger said. Delton will be led by Dave Barry in it’s game with Paw Paw. The 6’ 5” all-KVA forward has burned the nets for 29 and 22 points in the Panthers first two games. Delton beat Lowell 70-69 in it’s opener, but fell to Wayland 68-65 on Tuesday night. Maple Valley will be looking to even it's record al 1-1 in it’s game with Charlotte. The Lions lost a 14-point decision to a much-taller Middleville team in their opener last Friday. Tne Trojans had a 4-6 inch height advantage across the board against Maple Valley. The Lions were also guilty of a whopping 25 turnovers. Jeff Hamilton of Maple Valley played an outstanding all-around game against Mid­ dleville with 18 points, six rebounds, four assists and four steals. The Lakewood-Sparta game will be the varsity coaching debut of Viking coach Mike Maciasz. Lakewood finished 12-9 last season, and the one returning starter from that team, Randy Hazel, is currently lost to the team. Middleville starts slow, but finally beats Portland 68-62 Middleville's veteran basketball team survived a slow start against Portland last Tuesday before finally outlasting the Red Raiders 68-62. The Trojans trailed at times by 16-1 and 204 margins in the first quarter of the ballgame before finally rallying late in the second period. "They (Portland) just shot real well early in the game nd we didn’t," said Thornapple Kellogg coach Skip Pranger of the slow start. "We just weren't getting around very well. Outdoor Report Bird feeders important in winter by John I-erg Dept, of Natural Resources One activity that seems to go hand-in-hand with putting up the Christmas tree is setting out the bird feeder for winter. Watching birds at feeders is a pastime that provides hours of entertainment for young and old alike. There seems to be no end to what one can learn from bird antics and behavior. A bird identification book can help to sort out diff.cult to recognize species. Several places ranging from supermarkets to grain elevators offer wild bird food mixtures for people wishing to get started with a feeder. These mixtures usually contain sunflower seeds, a protein-rich and highly favored food for several bird species. These mixtures also contain millet, cracked corn, and other small seeds that are fare for species like sparrows and titmice. Some people place beef suet in feeders for birds. Suet is also a high energy food favored by woodpeckers, sapsuckers, flickers, and chickadees. For those rich enough to afford it, thistle seed is used in special feeders for finches like pine siskins, golfinches, and purple finches. Feeding birds is both a joy and a respon­ sibility. Once feeding is started, birds tend to remain in an area all winter. If feeding is irregular or slopped during winter, birds that have become accustomed to these handouts begin to suffer. In some cases, birds have starved to death. The first rule is if you start feeding, continue feeding. Birds can add color to a sometimes long winter; enjoy them. Barry County outdoor news Rabbit hunters are out again in search of bunnies and some are finding their quarry. Rabbit numbers are down somewhat from last year but still numerous enough to provide good hunting. Don’t overlook the public access forms. These better soils seem to support higher rabbit populations. Grouse hunters are finding birds grouped togetlier more than they were in November. Once a group is found, hunters are enjoying fast gunning. Barry County is still sporting good deer numoers with a fair number of bucks still around. Both bow and muzzle loader hunters are seeing deer. Muzzle loaders with Hunters Choice Permits are reminded that if they did not shoot a deer in the regular November firearm season, they can still shoot an an­ tlerless deer in the December 3-12 season. Unseasonally warm weather has brought some fishermen back out onto local lakes. Fair catches of panfish have been coming out of deep water on Middle Lake. Some fish are also being taken on waxworms from 8* of water. Outdoors this week in Michigan Weather conditions have been un­ seasonably mild with no ice making tem­ peratures as yet. However, snow is in the forecast. In hunting news, deer season reopened Wednesday, December 1 and will run through January 1. Pressure is down. Muzzle loader enthusiasts look to the fields December 3 with the season going through December 12th. Hunters may hunt with their firearm deer or sportsman license, but only one deer may be taken with any firearm during the 1982 season. Also a doe permit is valid during the muzzleloader season. Note: Only a muzzle loading rifle, 44 caliber or larger, or larger, or muzzle load:ng shot gun may be used and must be loaded with round patched ball. In small game news, rabbit hunting should pick up momentum with the close of the deer season. Some tracking snow would create more interest. In fishing news, the ice temperatures are now in a "holding pattern" awaiting some ice making temperatures. Some steelhead activity is noted on the Black River near the mouth, fishing right on the bottom. However, all the rivers in the district are high and murky due to the heavy rains of the past week. Limited amount of fishing on area lakes producing good catches of bluegills. Best success using wax worms and fishing deep. Notes: One report of a snowy owl showing up in the district. Bird watchers continue to enjoy observing waterfowl in the Fennville Farm Wildlife Refuge. Good news for cross country skiiers will snow slated to arrive. Skiiers will have to wait till January 1 to use the Allegan State Game Area. Skiing on the game area is prohibited until that time. Owls migrate to Michigan by John Lerg, Dept, of Natural Resources Each winter, a few snowy owls find their way south into Michigan. These owls spend their summers in the arctic north feeding on lemming and mice. However, winter weather pushes them south in search of food. As the name implies, the snowy owl is a cream white bird. It has black spots over much of its body. Many are familiar with this owl from its picture on the White Owl cigar box. The bird is strikingly handsome against a background of green and brown. While in Michigan, snowy owls seem almost tame. They are fairly easily ap­ proached and seem almost as curious about their intruder as their intruder is about them. They like to hunt in open, grassy areas. They hunt more often by day than othei owls. They usuallj find a fence post or other low perch to sit upon while looking for food. When a mouse is spotted, the owl leaves the perch, swoops down, and grabs it with taloned feet. Because they have such a preference for mice, they are a friend to farmers and or­ chard growers alike. A snowy owl was a recent visitor to the Howard Ferris farm in Hastings. (Banner photo) Snowy owls lead a nomadic existence while in Michigan, traveling from spot to spot staying a few days at each place. As winter breaks, the owls will find their way back north to their nesting grounds again. We were sluggish." Middleville outscored Portland 21-12 in the second period to trail only 32-31 al the half. "We really didn’t do anything different that quarter, the kids just did what was expected of them." said Pranger. "Portland just had a heck of a start, I couldn't really fault our kids." Middleville outscored Portland 17-16 in the third period to take charge of the game. Jim Schipper led another balanced scoring attack for Middleville with 19 points. Dave Perry added 14 points and 12 rebounds, Dave Van Sickle had 17 points, Brian Miller 10 and Jeff Kerber eight. "I was very happy with the way we came back," said Pranger. “Even after we were 16 points down we didn’t give up. V.’e never lost poise and that was a key. We got some real fine individual performances." Middleville hit 25 of 52 field goal attempts and 18 of 27 free throws. Portland hit 27 of 66 field goal attempts and eight of nine free throws. Middleville held a 38-25 rebounding ad­ vantage in the game. Wayland tops mistake proof Delton eagers 68-65 It was the type of game Delton coach Bob Prentice would just as soon forget. His Panthers were guilty of 36 turnovers and a number of mental mistakes on Tuesday en route to a 68-65 loss to Wayland. “We looked terrible,” said Prentice. "We didn't set up offensively." Dave Barry scored 22 points for Delton. Gary Chantrenne added 21 points on eightfor-eight field goal attempts and five-fur-five free throws. He added 15 rebounds. Delton held a slim 40-36 halftime lead with the lead changing hands several times in the third period. Wayland finally took advantage of a few Delton turnovers late in the game to come out a three-point winner. Statistically, Delton shot 44 per cent (25 of 52) from the field to 48 per cent (23 of 55) for Wayland. “Wayland hustled very well,” said Prentice. "They played very agressive and it looked like they wanted to win this game." The loss drops Delton's record to 1-1. Saxon jayvees off to good start The Hastings jayvee basketball team has recorded two wins in it's first two games this ' fall. The Saxons beat Caledonia 58-54, and Ionia 63-50.

Turnes addeci 12 while Olson scored 10 points and grabbed 11 rebounds. Head coach Jack Longstreet also praised the defense of Dave Flood in both games. Middleville wrestlers start out hot Middleville's wrestling team, whom many expect to have a big season, opened it’s season with triple dual wins over Maple Galley and Delton, and East Grand Rapids and Forest Hills. The Trojans beat Maple Valley 50-21 and Olivet wins T-K wrestling tourney, Trojans second, Saxons third Middleville’s wrestling team finished second in the recent Thornapple Kellogg Invitational with 153.5 while Hastings took ’hird with 137.5 points. Olivet won the team title with 154.5 points and captured four individual titles. The Trojans had two winners, a runnerup. three thirds and four fourths. Hastings had four seconds, three thirds and one champion. Middleville coach Tom Lehman said his team wrestled well in the meet. “The team strength looked real good,” he said. “We had 12 of our 13 wrestlers score team points. We just lost some close mat­ ches." Hastings coach Dave Furrow was likewise pleased. "We wrestled exceptionally well. I was very proud,” said Furrow. “We have a lot of improvement to make yet, but we're coming along well. Hopefully we'll continue to progress." Gaining individual championships for Middleville were Marty Finke (119-pound class) and Chris Yonkers (155). The second place winner was Nathan Briggs (185). Placing in the top two for Hastings was first place finisher Bruce Hoffman (145) and runnerup finishers Bill Madden (98), Hutch Clason (126). Daw Kensington (198) and heavyweight George Ruffner. Third place finishers for the Trojans were Jack Posthumus (98), Randy Winchester (145), Pete Anderson (185) and Mark Lloyd (198).

Lion wrestlers last at Pennfield Invitational Maple Valley finished eighth of eight teams in the Pennield Invitational wrestling tourney last Saturday. Dennis Gardner (145-pound weight class) took a third for the Lions and Pat Resseguie (heavyweight) took a fourth for Mappie Valley’s highest finishers. "There were some good teams there and we're just all sophomores," said Lion coach Chris Ricketts. "Plus we only had eight wrestlers tor 13 weight classes so it was hard to earn points." Delton 49-19 in their opening matches ol the year. Double winners for Thornapple Kellogg were Delwin Craven (105-pound weight class), Marty Finke (119), Terry Sensiba (126), Chris Yonkers (155), Brent Sisler (167), and Bill Perry (198). Single match winners were Paul Ordway (138), Nathan Briggs (185), Mike LLoyd (heavyweight), Randy Winchester (145) and Jeff Wohlford (heavyweight). Middleville upped it’s record to 4-0 with a 49-22 win over East Grand Rapids and a 37-33 win over Forest Hills. Jack Pos’.humus (98), Craven, Finke, Yonkers, and Briggs each won two matches. Sensiba, Ordway, Perry, and LLoyd each won one of their matches. The 4-0 start pleases Trojan coach Tom Lehman. "I’m very happy with the way we’re wrestling right now. A lol of the newcomers have adjusted and I’m very pleased with the way they’re wrestling," he said. Mark Brown (24) hangs in the air on one of his field goal attempts against Ionia. Brown scored 41 points in the game after having scored 47 in the Saxons opener last Friday. (Photo by Kevin McKeough) Hastings evens record in 78-71 loss to Ionia Despite another outstanding individual effort by Mark Brown, the Hastings basketball team saw it's record drop to 1-1 with a 78-71 loss to Ionia on Tuesday. The Saxtons only trailed by a single point with two minutes to go in the game, but several cosily turnovers and some clutch Ionia free throw shooting spelled 1-o-s-s for Hastings. "We didn't play as good of defense as I would have hoped." said Hastings coach Dennis O'Mara of the contest. “But we made a good comeback and we certainly weren’t blown out in this game." Brown, the sophomore guard who scoreci 47 points in the team’s opener last Friday, poured in 41 more points against Ionia. Brown hit 16 of 30 field goal attempts and nine of 10 free throws. Bruce Hartman added 12 points and five rebounds while Steve Conner added eight points for Hastings. Ionia jumped to a 21-19 first quarter lead and promptly increased that to 46-39 al the half. Behind Brown, the Saxons rallied in the third quarter to cut the lead to 58-55. In the final period Hastings was victimized by several costly turnovers and mental mistakes particularly in the last free minutes, and couldn’t overcome the defecit. Ionia also helped it's own cause hitting four of six free throws in the last two minutes to help seal the win. For the game, Hastings committed 18 turnovers or about six more than O’Mara would like to see. O'Mara also said rebounding was a big key to the game. The Saxons were outrebounded 21-18, but O'Mara said it wasn’t so much the totals that bothered him. “We just couldn’t get the critical rebound at the critical time. We had only two of­ fensive rebounds in the second half," he said. “You can't win games like that.” Ionia hit on 31 of 47 free throw attempts to only 29 of 52 for Hastings. At the line Hastings hit 13 of 17 and Ionia made 16 of 24 Saxon girls b-ball announces awards Kelly Mogg was the major award winner at the Hastings girls basketball team banquet on Wednesday night.

Dairy farmer Vern Lanphear Jr., who lost 200 head to PBB eight years ago, says he's convinced the deaths are deliberate ’ Preliminary tests by the Agriculture Department show that the silage eaten by the cows contained the pesticide fon-o-fos. used to kill corn root worms, and marketed under several brand names, including Counter. Diphonate and Furadan. Lanphear says he doesn't keep the chemical around his farm, and that he is allergic to the substance. It s not the first time he’s had problems with poison In October, the 30-year-old farmer destroyed two cows after they became sick from drinking water tainted with a weed killer 2-4-D According to Richard Zimmerman. Michigan Slate Police sergeant Lanphear had been to the barn to milk and feed the cattle about 6 p.m. Sunday. He then went to a Christmas party, returning home about 12.15 a.tn. Zimmerman says he checked the north door of the barn at that time and found it secure He then checked the barn itself and Unloaded gun saves Woman Delton man jailed for attempted murder in domestic squabble by Ken Reibel Prosecutors say Joe Marvin Lynd thought the gun was loaded when he pointed it at his live-in girlfriend early Tuesday morning and pulled the trigger. F ortunately, say police, the girlfriend, Chnstine Marie DeKubber. had unloaded the gun the week before Police arrested Lynd later that day He was arraigned Wednesday in Barry County District Court on one count of assault with intent to commit murder, and ordered jailed on $25,000 bond. According to deputy reports, DeKubber. 29, of 2696 Pifer Rd., Delton. w«,j awakened about 4 a m. Tuesday by Lynd beating on her face with the butt of a rifle. The w oman told deputies she tried to grab the rifle, but Lynd pushed her on her back onto the bed, then pointed the gun at her and squeezed the trigger DeKubber said she heard a "click". DeKubber says she and Lynd had been seeing each other off and on for three years. and that the two had lived together for the past several months. She said she ordered Lynd out of her house last Friday. Dec. 17. According to DeKubber. Lynd had kept two loaded guns in her house since the murders of two elderly women in Prairieville Nov. 30. She says she unloaded the guns, without telling Lynd, shortly after a suspect was arrested in that case, about Dec DeKubber told deputies that she had not heard from Lynd between Friday and Monday night, when she received a’phone call from tne suspect saying he was at a bowling alley, and that he would stop in and see her later. DeKubber says that after Lynd attempted to shoot her. she gathered her two children. Renee. 9. and Michael. 11. and fled to a neighbor s home and called police. She told police that as she was leaving, she saw Lynd loading a second gun. The woman says she has been assaulted tw o other time in the past year by Lynd. The , first time, she says, was on New Year’s Eve. At that time, she says, she was treated at ] Pennock Hospital for cuts in the mouth and i received several stitches. She claims the second assault came in late June. DeKubber told deputies that incident * was investigated by Barry Township Police. ; No charges resulted from either alleged ■ assault. found about ten cows feeding, and the rest lying in the free stalls. At this time, says Zimmerman, the farmer noticed nothing unusual When Lanphear went to milk at about 7 a.m. Monday, lie noticed a cow lying in the doorway going into the barn, and two more head lying dead in a passage.- ay. A further check revealed 24 more dead cattle inside the barn. By Tuesday morning. 40 cows had died "They got real dopey, staggering around, quivering, shaking." says Lanphear. He says the cattle left alive, about 23 in all. ’aren't milking or eating much." Agriculture Deparment experts say the poison will clear out of the cows system in about a week. Until then, what milk Lan­ phear does get must be disposed of "At least the humans aren’t getting it, because we re dumping it down the drain," says Lanphear. Lanphear and his father lost 200 head of cattle in 1974 on a farm in Richland after the animals ate feed contaminated with polybrominated biphenyl <PBB'. The toxic­ fire retardant was accidentally mixed into livestock feed and distributed arounJ the state. The Lanphear’s animals were among the thousands that died or were destroyed in the disaster. Lanphear says he raised beef cattle on the Richland farm, which he rented, until three vearsago. when he bought his present farm, located at 8409 Miller Rd. He estimates the value of the lost cattle to be about $60,000, and says he doesn’t know how much in­ surance w-ill cover. He is not optimistic. "It sure wiped us right out." he says undeMhe wpXisionXtot^oWciah.6"11 '°ader *°C'e°r de°d dai'V "**’r°m h’’ barn' The“rca«es wi" be Deputies say DeKubber suffered cuts and sswelling under her right eye. swelling to her iupper lip and loose teeth in Tuesday’s i assault. "DeKubber stated that she is sure that if t the gun had been loaded...he would have 1killed her. states the sheriff deputy report, "She feared for her life, and the life oi her children." Devoted to the Interests of Barry County Since 1856 Vol. 127, No. 50 Hastings’ school secretaries threaten suit over volunteers Hastings, Michigan by Ken Reibel The Hastings Board of Education is gearing up for a light with members of the Hastings Area Secretarial Association over the use of volunteers in the school system. The complaint, filed in November with the Michigan Department of Labor, reads “The Hastings Area School District is using CETA employees and volunteers to handle the duties of school secretaries during a period in which the working hours of the school secretaries have been cut.’’ The secretaries, in their complaint, asks that volunteers not be used in the offices or in the library while secretaries’ hours have been cut and while library people have been laid off. The board, at its Monday night meeting, voted unanimously to hire a Lansing at­ torney, Kevin Hardy, to represent the school system at a Jan. 10 hearing in Lansing. "I would like to believe that the public is behind the board in this matter." said Dr. William Baxter, board president. Baxter notes that volunteers play a major role in the school system, and calls the suit "a real threat to the kids’ education." Tne complaint, filed Nov. 4, is signed by Betty Homing, vice president of the secretaries group She has declined com­ ment on the matter Manufaturers set deadline for contract talks The complaint cites alleged examples of volunteerism: "A CETA worker. Dawn Bassett, was employed at the junior high school office from Aug 30. 1982. to Sept. 30. and was volunteering her services to the junior high school office until Nov. 1. 1982 when she went back on the CETA program for eight hours a day. "A volunteer. Frieda Harmon, had been used in the Southeastern Elementary School office on Sept. 28, and was used as a volun­ teer in the office three half days a week through Oct. 27, at which time she was employed as a senior aide at the Commission on Aging. However she is still being used in the office doing secretarial duties. "Volunteers are currently working on an hourly, as-needed basis in the Northeastern Elementary School office. Volunteers have been used as substitutes for secretaries when they are absent from work, even though our contract states that a list of substitutes will be maintained by the board, and will be required to keep the same working hours and perform the same duties as school secretaries.” The complaint further alleges that volunteers are currently being used to staff school libraries "while three library aides Continued to Page 3 by Robert J.

The overall prognosis is that when Christmas shopping is over, the season will generally be thought of as a "tough" one for Hastings merchants, according to Ken Whitker. chairman of the retail division of the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce. The weather plays an important role in whether or not sales are up or down in Hastings, says Mike McKay, manager of Ben Franklin. "The biggest single item that affects all of us i businessmen • is the weather The economy plays a part to a certain extent, but it s the weather that makes it or breaks it for us in Hastings." he said. "From about Dec. 10 on. if the weather is nice and the roads are nice and dry (local i people will say. ’Hey. let's go to Grand Rapids i to shopi On the other hand, if the roads are slick, say on a Saturday, their first impression is to look out the window and decide to come downtown to Hastings to shep." said McKay Consequently, it s been lousy weather-wise for businesses in Hastings this December because of the relatively mild temperatures "A good 12-inches of .snow would make me happy right now," said McKay whose Christmas sales tor the month have been down six toseven percent incomparison with this time last year There are always a lot of last minute shoppers at Ben Franklin so he's hoping the percentage decrease in sales will change Last Saturday was McKay’s biggest sales day since the Christmas shopping season began. He’s looking for this Thursday and Friday to be heavy buying days too. Ben Franklin has had fewer discounted items this year than last, which will hopefully bring more profit when the final sales tally is tabulated he said. Over at J.C. Penney’s. Manager Ken Whitker says Christmas sales have been "very good. They are higher than last year. December has been good at Penney's. "But of course, we have a lot of clearance and mark downs. We re giving the place away." he said. Shoppers are particularly "bargain conscious" this year. Whitker noted. "People don’t have as much money to spend." He said shoppers are buying "a lot of basic, everyday items. Some fashion i items) are selling to a certain point, but not a lot." Penney s peak in the holiday shopping reason was last Saturday, but he speculates •hat Wednesday or Thursday of this week might even be bigger. As chairman of the chamber’s retail division. Whitker said that generally. "It’s a tough Christmas for al) the local merchants. It's been a tough year very competitive.” Some local merchants though are "doing pretty good" but some are down,” he said Locally, business has been affected by a combination ot the poor economy and losing shoppers to other cities, said Whitker. adding that "you'll always have people going to other places." Of the poor general retail climate, he said, “we’re not alone, it’s all over " Joan Foster, executive director of the local chamber, says she's heard mixed reports about sales from merchants too. "Sales are down at some stores and up in others." she said. Felpauch Food Center in Hastings is one of the local businesses where sales have been excellent, according to manager Floyd Colvin. Felpausch carries a large line of clothing and a big selection of toys and decorations in addition to its grocery items. "We're showing gains in our sales ias compared to this time last year)," said Colvin who added that the percentage in­ crease figure was not available. "Sales have been excellent We're really happy with it. We don't have any com­ plaints." he said Felpausch's biggest day of the Christmas shopping season was • probably" last Saturday "Friday was pretty close and the biggest may still be to come." he said Very few items have been marked down this season. Colvin said. The biggest sellers in the toy department at Felpausch have been Tonka < trucks) toys for the boys and dolls lor the girls, said Diane Myer, who heads that department. "Dolls have been a pretty good stand-by Strawberry Shortcake is still a pretty hot item." she said Hastings Manufacturing Co. has set a new deadline for completing contract talks before making a decision on relocation of up to 250 jobs. Dennis Witham, director of industrial relations, said that the company “reaffirmed with the union" a deadline of Jan. 8. "An affirmative vote by the union mem­ bership on or before Jan. 8." Witham said, "will preclude relocation and hopefully attract new work to the Hastings facility." Witham said the final company proposal is on the table. Negotiators for the company and UAW Local 138 met Friday for about eight hours and again Tuesday for about three hours. David Turnes, chief negotiator for the production maintenance section of the union, called the meetings “fruitless, absolutely fruitless." "They won’t offer job security and they won t offer equality of sacrifice." Turnes said. "Without them, there will be no con­ tract with wage concessions ” Witham, however, said that the final company proposal did include job si.-urity language and equality of sacrifice language. Attending Tuesday’s meeting were UAW International servicing representative Ray Meiser and federal mediator James Mat Kraz. UAW International representative Paul Mastos attended Friday’s meeting. Witham said that the company’s com­ mittee studying relocation is currently inactive. The present talks were begun in Sep­ tember after the company told the union it was studying a move that would take 150 jobs out of Hastings and possibly out of the state. Witham later raised that figure to 250 jobs. The company said that without cuts in its labor costs, it could not remain competitive on certain lines of filters. Negotiations broke off in early October, but bargainers returned to the table, last month. The two sides said early in December that only two sticking points remain in the negotiations, "equality of sacrifipe" and job guarantees Under the equality of sacrifice provisions, the union is seeking reductions of salaried employees pay and benefits similar to union sacrifices The union's present contract expires Feb 1. 1983.

Tuesday, at its final meeting of '.he year. Paul Kiel, who heads the board's personnel committee, read a letter from Daniel Hankins of Okemos, attorney for the association, informing the board of the employees' vote The letter also said that the employees are willing to negotiate on a month-to-month basis beginning in January. The association has asked to examine the county budgets in the past two years and the proposed 1983 budget. "I think they realize the money isn’t there," Kiel said. Contracts with both the employees’ association and the Fraternal Order of Police • FOP), which represents the sheriff's department employees, expire at the end of the year County employees received ap­ proximately a 7.6 percent increase in each of the last two years under the present con­ tract. Kiel said. Kiel said that the FOP has not yet said what i t will do af ter the first of the year. Negotiators for the two sides met on Nov. 9. wnen the county presented its contract proposals and budget. Kiel said. Commissioners took no action on a request from the Parks and Recreation Commission to change its bylaws to extend the number of terms an officer may serve. The bylaws currently limit officers to two consecutive full terms. Albert Bell, the county commission's representative on the Parks and Recreation Commission, received no support on a motion to make the change. Bell said the request was U?ing made because of the difficulty in getting people to serve as of­ ficers "1 think you had better leave (the bylaws) the way they are." Commissioner Richard Landon said. The bylaws have not been changed since 1970 Bell also told commissioners that a new director for Charlton Park is expected to be hired by the end of the year. Dr Joseph Seelig, director of mental fvealth services, told commissioners his Stuart - Bylsman to wed Mr and Mrs. Dean Stuart of Hastings announce the engagement of their daughter, Teresa Ann, to Bruce Alan Bylsma, son of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Bylsma of Comstock Park.

Christmas Past Candles blamedin Caledonia fire Candles on an advent wreath are blamed for a Sunday morning fire at the Holy Family Catholic Church in Caledonia. Butch Welton. Caledonia fire chief, says he believes the candles may have been lit the night before by individuals attending a party in the church hall. Welton says the church sustained about $50,000 in damages, mostly from smoke. He says the only structual damage to the building was confined to the alter area. He credits his men’s familiarity of the church building with saving the building from destruction. “Five of the guys went to that church. They knew where everything was, and knew the layout of the church, and that makes all the difference in the world. You don’t just send someone into a strange building filled with smoke...they did a bang up job.’’ Welton says the smoke was "very thick, like soot." and probably from the burning carpet. According to Welton, the blaze was discovered about 7 J5 a m. by the priest. The firechiefsays the candles on theadvent were lit during Saturday night services, but ex­ tinguished by worshippers afterwards However. Welton noted there was a party Saturday night in an adjoining hall, and he suspects an individual from that partv may have lit the candles that started the blaze. May we go ahead by Steve Horton SCHOOL BOARD continued from front page— are currently on layoff.” Part of the secretaries' contract reads: "The board agrees at all time to maintain a list of substitutes, secretaries and library personnel. These substitutes will be required to keep the same starting and ending working hours each dav as the regular staff.” “1 don’t see anything in the contract that prohibits volunteers." says Robert Miller, adminstrative assistant for non-instruction for Hastings schools. Board President Baxter says the suit directly affects volunteerism in the schools. "We have concerns that if we lost this suit. it will certainly threaten volunteerism elsewhere, certainly in the library...Perhaps throughout the school." says Baxter. Baxter says he doesn't believe there is anything in the contract prohibiting volunteerism. "I have the feeling (the secretaries) are not talking about anything specific in the contract. We don't feel there is anything in the contract which prohibits the use of volunteers," says Baxter Baxter says the board has been advised by its attorney that it may take four to six months after the hearing for Labor Judge Joseph B. Bixler to render a decision. The board is taking the suit seriously, says Baxter. "We're taking it seriously to the extent that we're hiring an attorney, which we feel we must do. Volunteers have become a very important part of the system, and this is a real threat to the kids' education," says Baxter.

Soon Will be Offering The New Money Market Be it Crosby crooning "White Christmas", a TV rerun of "Miracle on 34th Street" a reading of "The Night Before Christmas", carolers walking along a snowy street-lit sidewalk, colored lights arrayed along the shrubbery, eggnog and loo many sweets, or a kiss under the mistletoe . . . they are (and much more) the bits and pieces of collective tradition that gives this season its aura of comfort and familiarity. Like a well-used jacket, we slip again into the holiday, repeating our particular customs and habits, reenacting them as they were reenacted before us. And along with that, there are of course the personal memories of other Christmases we each have that give this holiday it’s specialness. Perhaps a recollection of a longed-for gift received; a certain Christmas Eve of long ago; of persons once here, now departed; or a child's first excitement . . . they are the sums and summation we bring to each new yuletide. Hurrying to buy presents on the 24th; while candles flickering in the church: Grandpa Rollin sitting in the backroom, warming his arthritic joints by the wood burner, chewing some tobacco; the smell of hay and the crunch of the cold snow on Christmas mom'; parties better forgotten; this year’s Sunday school class recreating the "Nativity" scene; Christmas stories from younger years; the family dinners; the celebration of Christmases in happy times and on sadder ocassions; the sights and sounds that whirl about the mind again. Such personal recollections have no doubt been blurred to a more favorable light, smoothed of the harder aspects that once accompanied them. In a present usually filled with toss and turns, it is a failing perhaps, but human nature, to evoke betterremembered times, lending them to the current season. This holiday has it's accompanying reality. People without jobs. People threatened with loss of hard-earned homes. People struggling to made those "ends" meet, pressed just to find enough money for food and other necessities, let alone gifts. Those situations have been true of other yuletide holidays, but the increasing num­ bers suffering those circumstances make the situation more noticeable. Christmas of course is a time of "giving". Service groups, the Salvation Army, church organizations, government agencies, and others have traditionally gathered food and gifts for needy persons and families. For many though, beyond that holiday relief, remains the repercussions of our slumping ’ economy. For those still without work or adequate funds, the reality remains. Encouragement is easily lent when it comes from the other side; counsels to "stay the course" easily said, but not easily followed. To those with diminishing op­ timism, there are few words of wisdom. If there are any special gifts that could be given this year, beyond a helping hand, many would come from within. The gifts to ourselves of hope, of keeping faith with our future, of remembering past difficulties now over, of determination to meet what's ahead, of humor and friendship and family. They loo make up this time of year, along with the tinsel ..nd holly.

Way says he then swam to the east bank of the river, where he was met by an individual on the scene with a flashlight, and taken to a nearby residence where he was given dry clothes to wear.

Courts Rodney Bernard Sarratt covers up os he is led out of the Barry County Courthouse by Sheriff Deputy Don Nevins. Rodney Bernard Surratt. 30, of Battle Creek, told Judge Hudson E. Deming he is “bewildered and very sorry”, during what was supposed to be his arraignment Wed­ nesday morning in Barry County Circuit Court for the Nov. 30 murders af two elderly women. "I'm very bewildered and very sorry for what I’ve done” said Surratt. The judge then cautioned Surratt that anything he says could be be used against hi-n, and advised that the defendant speak with his attorney. Deming postponed Surratt’s formal arraignment to Wednesday, Dec. 29. Surratt appeared in court Wednesday morning for his arraigment without a lawyer. After asking the apparently destitute Surratt if he had any funds for counsel. Deming appointed Hastings Attorney Dave Tripp to the case. At his Dec. 14 arraignment in district court, Surratt refused the services of an attorney. However. Surratt told the judge Wednesday that he would like to be represented. Surratt and a Kalamazoo man, Kevin Eugene Grote, 25, are charged with the robbery and stabbing deaths of Frances Youngs and Helen Mott in Mrs. Young’s home on Parker Rd. Surratt testified in district court Dec. 15 that he watched as Grote attacked Mrs. Youngs, and described how the two men stole $240 from the dairy compartment of her refrigerator. Both men will be tried on one count of robbery, two counts of first-degree murder, and two counts of felony murder first degree. In addition, both men face charges brought by Kalamazoo officials for the Dec. 1 armed robbery of Serafinos, a liquor store in Richland. Kalamazoo police believe the pair is also responsible for the Dec. 2 armed robbery of a Little Ceaser's pizza parlor. to the Editor.

To The Editor We are Americans who have made our home in Latin America for seven years. Lately, we see much distorted news of the Americans coming from the United States and want to set the record straight for Banner readers. When we first moved to Costa Rica, bag. baggage, grandmother, teenagers and pets, we spoke no Spanish and knew little about the country. Before long, our rural neighbors accepted us and graciously taught us their language, culture, and how a city-bred family could enjoy ranch life in a foreign land. Truly, our delightful adventures there merit a book, at least! My husband's deep love for the sea (Pearl Harbor survivor and retired Navy), prompted a further move two years ago to Colombia's Caribbean coast. There, we found a lovely, old coconut plantation on the Pan American Highway near Santa Marta, the oldest (457 years), most fascinating city in all the Americas. Imagine, if you will, green palms waving in gentle ocean breezes, blue sea and sky, pounding surf and golden sand and. towering 19,000 feet over all and snow-capped year round, majestic Mount Colombus. We feel we have very much, indeed , incomparable beauty, friendly neighbors, ideal climate, a stable, democratic government and a satisfyingly-low cost of living. Like Colombus, we have discovered a new frontier with a vast potential and, being human, are driven to tell others about our dream-come-true. If you are interested in the future of the Americas (and the Birds), write to us by International Air Mail (35c a half ounce) at Post Office Box 5222, Santa Marta. Colombia. It may take us a while, but we promise to answer each letter. Now. from beau’iful Santa Marta we wish you salud (health), dinero (wealth) and amor (love) . and the time to enjoy them all!

Ron Landon When Governor-elect Jim Blanchard takes office the first of the year, he will face a multitude of problems, including a half­ billion dollar budget defecit, and the highest unemployment rate in the U.S.. What do think the new governor's first order of business should be? Not surprisingly, most of this week’s respondents said Jim Blanchard's first job should be jobs, or "improving the business climate” in Michigan. Lois Roblyer: "Jobs...Down to earth jobs. People jobs...I think it should be tne first priority I'm out of work, I want a job...I want a job. Period. Something 1 can do." I Elden Shellenbarger:"It should be jobs for Michigan. I think he should also revitalize the railroads and the shipping industry The problem right now is with the roads, and the way the roads haven't been kept up. And I think his first order of business should be transportation. "*"‘—1.. J Blanchard can make more Ed Styring Joe Kujala jobs) by getting the railroads back up ana doing more in the line of the shipping area.” Al Conklin: "The taxes. This morning I heard they passed a tax on employers to help clear up the unemployment debt. And this is going to drive businesses out of Michigan faster yet. They are biting the hand tha’ feeds them. The money has to come from somewhere, but this is the wrong move 1 know we’re in hard times, but if we tax the employers, this is going to hurt us more than ever ..I don't know the real answer.” Margaret Dykstra: "Unemployment The State of Michigan should, support small businesses. Small businesses provide a lot of employment in our country And Michigan is highly taxing small businesses. I think it would be a high priority to think about that ” Ron luindon: "I think the biggest problems are government spending and helping to create some jobs...! think there's a lot of places where (the government' is wasting Norman Galbreath money ..They create all these offices and committees lor different jobs, and when that job is finished, they don't abolish the com­ mittee. There's always somebody who wants to keep that job.” Ed Styring: "I feel we should get a balanced budget. You can't have economic stability without a balanced budget...Jobs will follow if you balance the budget and get things in order." Joe Kujala: “Being a young person myself. I think the first thing he should check into is unemployment. I was unemployed for a long time, and I'm lucky to have a job now A lot of my friends are just barely making it. I think (Blanchard) ought to check into that first" Norman Galbreath: “I think he ought to concentrate on the unemployment, because Michigan has one of the highest unem ployment rates around . He's going to have to improve the business climate It will take some thought Blanchard will have to look at it from all different angles, which way will work the best.” �The Hastings Banner.

Page 5 As Christmas draws nigh, thousands of toys will be brought by Santa. Even though we don’t realize it. most of these toys will gain in monetary value over the years — if kept in good working order and condition. The original boxes should also be keut clean and intact. Toys over the ages have appreciated in value even more than antique furniture and glass. Because we are all "kids at heart", our pulse quickens at the sight of a cherished old toy like one we used to have — or wished we did have. The computer age is upon us whether we like it or not, and today’s first computer toys will be outmoded by more technologicallyadvanced toys and games that will be in the collector's hands in less than 20 years. Strawberry Shortcake and her gang, the tiny blue Smurfs, E.T. dolls and toys, television and movie character toys, such as the Dukes of Hazzard, Orphan Annie. Gar­ field the cat, Sesame Street characters, the Muppet toys, dolls of discontinued T.V. characters like Bo and Luke Duke, who were replaced in their show; "The Fonz”, "Mork’’. of Mork and Mindy: the Kotter Gang dolls of “Welcome Back Kotter”; and "Charlie’s Angels”, Farrah Fawcett... The list goes on and on. The first manufactured Barbie doll of the early 1950s now sells for around $200 each. In the late 1970s, Mattel Toy Company promised a brand new "up to date” Barbie doll to anyone returning to their company an original Barbie of the 1950s. As we never get something for nothing, this should have told the public a lot. The 18 inch John Wayne and Mae West collector dolls are currently selling in this year's Sears toy catalog at $65 each. They are sure to gain in value. The Madame Alexander fashion dolls of the 1950s are currently selling in the $250 range. The wind-up train sets of the 1930s to 1960s are eagerly collected today and fetch a “pretty penny". Even one car from an old set can sell for up to $1,000. The composition Shirley Temple doll of the late 1930s cost about $6 then It now sells for around $800 or more, depending on size and condition. The Shirley Temple blue cobalt cereal set given as free premiums in the '30s. now brings $50 to $60 for the bow) or mug, and about $35 lor the creamer. Both the Shirley Temple doll and "blue mug and creamer" are currently being reproduced. The bowl hasn't as yet been reissued. Know your dealer when buying the cobalt blue glass Shirley Temple pieces The reissue of a collectible item doesn’t diminish the value of the original, it only makes the older one more desirable and drives up the price. Mickey Mouse, who is 54 years old this year, had many items made in his likeness. A Mickey Mouse wrist watch from the 1930s today sells for $125 to $200. The Teddy Bear, originally named after Teddy Roosevelt and made in the late 1800s. is now selling for $700 to $900 for an early example in good condition. Victorian type wooden doll houses from the early 1900s through the 1940s and 1950s now­ sell for hundreds of dollars. They were well built and of solid structure then. Today the beautiful old wooden doll houses are replaced by plastic, as are the furnishings. Old wooden sleds and wagons, cf which many were lovingly handmade, are replaced in our children’s world by assembly line punched and molded metals and plastics. Vinyl doll-buggies now imitate the beautiful old wicker carriages. One only has to visit a nostalgia collectors’ show to realize the monetary appreciation enjoyed by toys as recent as the 1950s and 1960s. Not just antiques. Because toys are made for and played with by children, many are broken and destroyed. The toys lucky enough to have survived are, and will continue to be, fond memories of our own lost childhood. My Christmas wish for all of you is good health, happiness, and the compassion of reaching out to help make the burden of those less fortunate a little easier to bear every day — not just at Christmastime. Love and kindness, freely given, comes back into our own lives ten fold. Barry Medical Care Facility lists week’s activities Friday. Dec. 24.

When seme observe this time of year The symbols of the Yuletide cheer With which they deck the hall; While others mark a different rite That's signified by candlelight. A new one added every night When Chanukah will fall. Your House of Worship will convey The message of your holiday. So join the services and say The prayers that you recall; And don’t forget, when we compare These holy days by which we swear. This gift that every faith can share: The love of God for all. — Gloria Nowak MIDDLEVILLE ■ Mr. Frank H. Salmela. 74, of Middleville, died Friday afternoon.

Thursdoy December 23. 1982 Page Create a holiday treat with this lively recipe Some of the most charming holiday traditions are whimsical creations of imaginative cooks. Santa Claus Soup is one °f them, a Christmas Eve inspiration that has both merit and merriment. The idea is to leave a mug or bowl of steamy. hot soup for Santa Claus And, of course, little children will want to leave their lists nearby as a reminder of what they hope ,0 find under the Christmas tree. In setting out the soup, with a candle warmer handy. cv<-‘n the youngest in the family will un­ derstand that the real spirit of the season is in giving. Simla Claus Soup is a perfect main-dish dinner soup for Christmas Eve. which parents sometimes think is the shortest evening of the year and youngsters are convinced is the longest Appropriately colorful with green peppers and red tomatoes, the soup is brimming with ingredients that children love. Raisins, peanuts, shell macaroni and frankfurters to name a few. Adults will be equally en­ thralled with the fresh vegetables and subtle herb flavoring of the good soup. But best of all. the cook will lie relieved to know that Santa Claus Soup is Ix'gun by opening two handy cans of condensed soup — oldfashioned vegetable and beef broth - so most of the work is already done diced ' i cup peanuts 11 cup raisins 2 Tbsp chopped parsley *4 tsp thyme leaves. crushed Generous dash pepper 2 med. tomatoes, diced In saucepan, combine all ingredients except tomatoes.

Extend the Christmas holiday Festive gatherings add greatly to the merriment of the holiday season, but so often during the lime you would most enjoy giving a Christmas party, you're unavoidedly in­ volved with shopping for gifts, sending cards and packages and other holiday chores Often Christmas is ovei just as you're gelling the holiday spirit, and just when you’ve finally got all the decorations up and shopping done and can relax and celebrate But it needn't be., after all. Christmas is not officially over until January 6. when the Feast of Epiphany, or Twelfth-day is ob­ served on most calendars. So. if you haven’t had an opportunity to get together with friends before Christmas, why not have a Twelfth-night party? Twelfth-night is the evening before Twelfth-day and in olden times, it was widely observed as the last day of Christmas festivities. With today’s pressures due to jobs, com­ muting and involvements outside the home, stretching out the holiday season may be a good way to allow busy families a little breathing space and an opportunity to savor Christmas festivities to the fullest.

(Banner photo) Middleville church puts “life into Christmas” By Elaine Gilbert Stop by the nativity scene on M-37 in Middleville and you might see Joseph's arm move or Mary s eyes blink. You might even hear them talk. The real life nativity scene is an annual Christmas tradition for the members of the United Methodist Church in Middleville who take time out of the rush of the holiday season to portray the characters of history’s most memorable scene. Faithfully, every evening the week before Christmas, church members take turns, in one-hour shifts, standing in silent vigil around the manger in a wooden framed shelter of hay. Dressed in garments of Biblical times, they depict the story of the first Christmas. "It s our way to remind people what Christmas is really all about." said Frances Tobin who is in charge of the nativity this year with her husband. Dan. Taking part in the live nativity scene has become a special part of Christmas for the church, ‘he said. The live nativity scene — including the W ise Men and a shepard — takes place each night from 6:30-3:30 p.m. on the lawn in front of Dr. Shumway’s office in Middleville. The church's nativity portrayal originated m 1960 as a youth group project. Now it has become an event in which ail ages par­ ticipate. “We even have some Grandma's who come and stand (as part of the scene)," said Mrs. Tobin. “All ages from six to seven up to retired” folks are part of the nativity scene each year, she said. Live animals are used in the scene too. In fact the same sheep, owned by Jenny and Clifford Davis has been a regular in the production for the last decade Mrs Tonin said that the Davis family recently sold most of their sheep but not the one that has been part of the Christmas scene It's needed for the nativity scene." they said. In addition to the sheep, Jim Robertson’s calf and Clarence Klinge's pony are part of the nativity presentation. "A lot of people slow down in their cars when they drive past A lot of families with small children come right up to the Nativity scene and we let the children pet .he animals." said Mrs Tobin Sometimes Mary and Joseph and the others will talk softly, in character, to the visitors. The live nativity scene had been presented on the church lawn until the early 1970’s when church members decided that more people would view the scene if it was out on the main highway Once, when not many viewers had come by the nativity scene when it was at the church, “we sat Mary on the pony and rode through town." laughed Mrs Tobin who has been pat I of the scene for 12 years. “That created quite a stir." The Biblical costumes, worn in the nativity presentation, were handmade without patterns — by five church women, she said. "We just laid out the cloth and got to it!" Mrs. Tobin commented. Presenting the live nativity scene "in­ volves a lot of people and a lot'of help," she said. Participating in most years means, “being out in the bitter cold, but the shelter helps and you get a lot ot warmth from the animals." Mrs. Tobin added. “If anyone cares to stand and be a part of the scene, we would welcome more people from other faiths." she said.

It will definitely bt of interest to those who faint at the sight of a needle, as no blood test or health certificates are required. The first step is to obtain a Notice of Intended Marriage from the Office of the Bermuda Department of Tourism. This is forwarded to the Registrar General with the appropriate fee and the nutice is then published twice in each of the two local newspapers; 14 days after the receipt of the Notice at the Registry, a license may be issued but residence in Bermuda is not required during that period. This license is then issued and is valid for three months fi om the date of issue. The marriage may be performed in the Registry or in a church with the consent of a clergyman, both at modest fees. It's as easy as that! We'll book your honeymoon hotel and can even arrange with the management for a reception party if your friends would like to combine a vacation with attendance at your wedding.

As in past years, the Barn1 County Department of Social Services coordinated the assembly and distribution of the C hristmas baskets to needy families in the county But. this year’s project was the biggest and most successful of all. reports Don Rewa, who heads the Volunteer Senices division of the local social services agency. "More people were willing to help and share with others than ever before to help make this a special Christmas for their friends and neighbors." he said. E\en though there were more needs to meet in the county this year, the project was successful "because of the generosity of everyone contacted.” Rewa said. Response to the project was received from grocery stores merchant. ___ . grocery stores, merchants, church congregations, local clubs, and others who donated food, gift items, toys, clothes knitted items, money, and time and vehicles to deliver the baskets This year s Christmas project began in the fall when information data cards were sorted by geographical areas. Names of receipients for the Christmas baskets were submitted to Volunteer Services by friends and neighbors of unemployed persons, and also from members of unemployed families. VZ Churches service organizations and private individuals were contacted bv Volunteer Services to help coordinate the project for their specific geographical areas. 1 o get a head start on the project next year s distribution is already in the planning stages. However. Rewa reminds the public that there are 365 days in between and many emergencies occur and the needy can still use some help so the Volunteer Sendees will gladly accept donations all year through " Everything collected through donations is always dislnbuted in Barry County, he said will u-raUSt' °f ma"-v' ma"-v alllers “ill have a merrier Christmas this year " Rewa said.

They impart the special warmth of Christmas, no matter where or how they are used. These perennial favorites have a grace and charm that is unique among living In groups or singly, their deep green leaves contrasted with the brilliant red or white of the flowers add distinction to any holiday room setting. Table settings "come alive" in an instant when the poinsettia is used as a centerpiece They stand out gracefully and dramatically against any background. On a low bench or coffee table, the pomttia’s height is an ideal accent Arranged in tiers on the floor, or on a bookcase or fireplace mantle, they provide a formal splendor all their own.

The public was barred from a Dec. 15-16 hearing in Barry County Probate Court in which it was decided to place the infant girl under foster care. Barry County Prosecutor Judy Hughes filed a petition in Probate Court on behalf of the state's Child Protective Services Agency, asking the court to assume jurisdiction of the infant and her brother. However, it was decided at the hearing that the boy return to his parents. "Our concern with the boy were different than with the girl,” says Robert Nida, probate court administrator. "The girl's medical condition was different." Nida closed last week’s hearing at the request of the lawyer for the parents. The parents are currently the focus of a State Police investigation after they brought the severely burned infant to Grand Rapids’ Blodgett Memorial Medical Center Oct. 31. On Nov. 4, State Police seized a microwave oven from the parents’ home on Duncan Lake, south of Caledonia. The couple could offer no explanation for the burns. According to Prosecutor Hughes, no charges have yet been filed, and the in­ vestigation is continuing. She says she d^es not expect any action until after Jan 1. The infant suffered severe radiation burns to her left foot, right hand, and abdomen. Doctors had to amputate part of her foot and several fingers. The infant's mother reportedly told police she used the microwave to heat a bottle of formula, while the infant was lying about 18 inches away on an ironing board The mother claims that when she returned to the room, she noticed some of the infant's skin peeling. The microwave has since been tested for defects, with negative results. State Police have tested the inside of the microwave for physical evidence that the baby was place there. Reportedly, none was found. Prosecutor Hughes says the case baffles investigators because the parents have no history of child abuse "This is not your classic battered child syndrome,” she says.

Historians claim that Christmas cards were first introduced in 1843. by Sir Henry Cole, the first director of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Sir Henry had one thousand copies of his card hand-colored and sold them at Felix Summerly's Treasure House on Bond Street. They were not a retailing success. New themes were introduced in the art work on Christmas cards. In 1368, a 22-ycarold English art student named Kale Greenaway began popularizing sketches of fairies, elves, and woodland animals. Finally the tradition crossed the Atlantic with a poor German printer. Louis Prang, who became the "Father of the American Christmas Card". In 1875. he issued the first line of cards, favoring tassels and fringe, satin plush and blown glass frosting. He published his famous cards until the 1890s, w hen an onslaught of imitations from Europe pushed him out of business. About 1900, Christmas card manufacturers turned away from illustrations and began to concentrate on the printed message inside. The illustrated parts of the card were in­ cidental. required was discussed. The present requirement is three Four is a possibility The total credit requirement for graduation is presently 19.

Seelig said. "We’ve ended up with 31 percent less with essentially the same services to be performed. That’s the situation that I described to the board of commissioners at their meeting.” The philosophy of the state Dept, of Mental Health in recent years has been to intergrate persons with less severe cases nf mental illness or mental retardation with the community, taking them out or partially out of the institutional setting. Responsibility for the care and well being of those individuals then falls' on the shoulders of the county department With cuts in budget, resulting in less staff and less ability to reward the remaining employees for increased workloads, the situation becomes difficult. Seelig explained. “We have a lol of people who have been brought out of institutions that we have to see and take care of." he elaborated. “We have a great number of services we perform: partial hospitalization, emergency service, out-patient foster homes, work activity a whole array, it will be difficult to staff and fund those activities and services with the cuts." The result, according to Seelig, is not being able to help everyone. Some persons who could come out of the institution, won't and possibly some already out would have to go back. In telephone survey: Citizens praise teachers and staff; criticize school discipline This is the first in a series of weekly ar­ ticles about th»« responses of 303 persons in the Barry Intermediate School District (Delton and Hastings school district residents) to a variety of questions about public education. The local citizens were selected at random and interviewed last October in a telephone survey called Project Outreach, sponsored by the State Board of Education and funded by the Slate Legislature. Project Outreach surveys have been conducted in a number of intermediate school districts in the stale. The survey’s purpose is aimed at improving the public's confidence in education. All the opinions gathered will be used to help state officials strengthen puMic education and to make plans for the deiade. according to Project Director Ned S. Hubbell who prepared the written report from which this article is derived. Hubbell said the sample size of the in­ terviews is based <»n a 95 percent confidence that the sample error is no larger or smaller than 5.8 percent. When persons interviewed in the survey were asked to freely express (in open questions) their likes and dislikes about the schools in their community, teachers and other staff members led the list of praise, while school discipline was the subject most criticized, according to Hubbell. Following teachers and staff, praise for the school curriculum and subjects offered students, and school facilities were next on the praise list. Citizens interviewed who had students in the public schools voiced the highest praise for teachers and members of the school staff. Hubbell said in the report, adding that “this was true in both Hastings and Delton-Kellogg school districts. “Respondents were most critical of school discipline when asked what they dislike about the public schools, coupled with the behavior of some students” he said. In Hastings 19.2 percent of those in­ terviewed expressed criticism of school discipline, while in Delton the percentage was 27.3 percent. “While respondents earlier had praised most teachers, they were also critical of some teachers, weaknesses in the school curriculum, and lack of emphasis on the 3 R’s — basic skills." said Hubbell. Overall. 10.3 percent of citizens expressed criticism of the policies of school boards. (Next week's survey topic will be what citizens surmise as the local school boards' biggest problems.

Thursday. December 23. 1902 — Page 12 Board commissioner looks back on tenure Radant to leave after 14 years St< \ < llorton State Representative Gilmer honored retiring Barry County Board Commissioner Kenneth Radant with a plaque, commemorating his 14 years of service, at this week’s board of commissioner's session. Banner Photo The Most Elusive Gift of All After 14 years of sitting on one of those “hot seats tliat come with service on the board of commissioners, one can anticipate some philosophical musing from a member at the eve of his departure Kenneth Radant. elected seven times to represent Hastings on the Barry County Board of Commissioners, was up to the chore the day after fellow board members and others honored nim at a commissioners’ meeting. Tuesday. Dec. 21. for his long tenure of service. Radant. who has held the chairman's post on the board for the past three years and served in other capacities prior to that, was elected in 1968. making him an original member of the then newly created board of commissioners. Prior to that the county was governed by the 16 township supervisors and representatives from Hastings' city government, a situation that was changed by the state to accommadate reapportionment decisions by the courts. Radant noted amusedly that the group's name was the Board of Supervisors when he was elected, then changed to the Board of Comnr.ssioners. "It's interesting that the * first body t0 govern Barry County in 1839 was called a board ol commissioners. " he added "So the name lias come a full circle." Asked "what" he felt the board's major accomplishments were during his tenure Radant noted the "building of a new jail complex", the "construction of a sewage lagoon system for the county medical care facility", the "restructuring of the tran­ sportation system". and the "creation of a county planning and zoning masterplan On the first one. Radant noted that the county's old jail on Broadway had been condemned by the state “The’county was ordered to house prisoners elsewhere, he remembered. "Charlotte. Ionia. Allegan, wherever there was available room. It was not very efficient or prudent economy. The officers spent more time on the road tran­ sporting prisoners back and forth to jail and court than anything else. "We created a building authority and used it to build the present lock-up on West State Street." he continued. "We had some con­ troversy over the cost of the land we built it on Later on we approved additional con­ struction. 1 guess we now have a pretty good complex." Concerning the lagoon system for the care If you asked most sane and temperate men and women throughout the world what they wanted most for the holidays, their first choice wouldn’t come in a magnificent box with a fancy ribbon. They couldn’t find it on a colorful page of a fat Christmas catalog. They wouldn’t see it glistening out at them from a window of a smart boutique Because it’s the most precious and elusive gift of all... peace on earth Richard Kerr facility. Radant noted it was prompted by the finding of raw sewage polluting the Thor nappie River “Bus service” issue created some opposition i "We had some controversy on that mat­ ter. he said. "Some people were upset at the cost tof the project), some at the concept \\ hen you think back on the concerns that have since been expressed about pollution, we (the commissioners) did what had to be done." Providing a transportation system for the elderly and handicapped in Barry County, which embroiled passions a couple years ago and prompted Radant to use the word “frustrating", was another highlight mentioned. “The county had an imminent crisis a couple years ago as far as it’s financial ability to provide transportation for our elderly and handicapped residents." he said, giving some background on the issue. "At that point the county was only to get $5000 per unit (vehicle) to operate from the state. That was going to be it. There was no way we could transport people." Efforts by the commissioners to restructure the system met some stiff op­ position, Radant noted. “A whole series of negative (news) articles emerged that people then took as the gospel truth, so we (the commissioners) were fighting fears and inaccurate information." he elaborated. Among those objections. Radant noted, were: the cost, that no one would use it. that it was not needed, and that government shouldn't be involved with it. A contract with the state that allows continuation was reached, he added. With loo percent incentive funds provided the first two years. 75 percent the third year, and 50 percent for the fourth andsubsequent years. Radant feels the transportation system is on its way to solvency. "Barry County has become a model for many other counties.” he said. ‘‘.In less than a vear (of operating under the new contract) we’re up to receiving 30 cents of fare for every dollar spent. We re well ahead of other counties using incentive funding." Radant also pointed out that prior to the new system substantial tax monies were used by other county agencies- such as social services and the intermediate school district- for transporting individuals. "We’ve been able to consolidate much of that transportation into one system.” he said. "If we’d have done nothing it would’ve met senior citizens and handicapped persons would have been left without any tran­ sportation system," he added. With regard to planning and zoning. Radant pointed out that, with the exception of a few townships, the county is now under one inasterplan. “A lot of people take the position that they own their property and can do with it as they see fit," he said. "Of course if their neighbor puts in a junkyard, they’re in here to com­ plain. I have had those who said we don’t need zoning or planning, but we’re really the stewards of the land for future generations. We should have an orderly system for per­ serving our resources. " Radant would like to see better relationship Asked if • something still needed to be accomplished that hadn't during his 14 years Radant mentioned the adverse relationship between many township supervisors and the board of commissioners. •‘I’d like to see the attitudes between the supervisors and commissioners improved," he sard."Before 1968 the supervisors were the board, they worked in those dual roles. They could (thus) get together and make a decision among themselves on something like equalization (determining a property tax formula) “Times have changed though." he con­ tinued. The state has mandated that each county set up an equalization department. To this day I still see a number of supervisors who haven't accepted that. They badmouth county government and blame them lor decisions that come down from the state. The county did not invent inflation As property values have skyrocketed, the equalization department has had to act accordingly. This has led to some friction. I would have hked to have seen this cleared up (during my tenurei. There s no reason for an adversary relationship The board of commissioners is not immune to the taxpayers feelings " The retiring commissioner noted that since 1968 the role of beth county government and a commissioner have expanded and become more complex. "When I came on the board we didn t have words like revenue sharing, CETA. county building authority, economic development corporation." he said. "The budget has grown in the past 14 years and with it the scope and responsibilities of county government. I expect it will continue to do so. "Collective bargaining is another thing thats come about," he added. "County government did not have to deal with tliat in the past." Departing chairman wishes new board well Asked if he had any parting advise to the oncoming board. Radant wished them well, noting that the problem of "trying to preserve essential services with' leaner budgets would loom before them as it did for his board. "I think we have an excellent number of commissioners-elect," he said, "and I think they will do pretty well." Better long-term planning, the possibility of hiring a county comptroller were two areas he felt the future board should address. Of his own future plans, the 46-year-oid Radant. who is president and general manager of WBCH radio in Hastings, was unspecific. He was recently elected tu head the Barry County Republican Partv so public­ service is still in his immediate plans. "After 14 years you don’t just walk away and lose your interest," he said. "Naturally, my interest in Barry County remains I’ll just be of service where I can. Fourteen years though is a good healthy number of years to serve. "As far as those 14 years,” Radanl con eluded, "I hope to be remembered as being fair and someone who tried to look forward. " Hastings student makes “Who’s Who The 1983 edition of "Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges" will include the names of 34 students from Western Michigan University, who have been selected as among "the country’s most outstanding campus leaders." Among them is Corrinne M. O’Heran of 4800 Cedar Creek. Hastings. She is a music therapy major. University nominating committees, along with editors of the annual directory, chose Western’s students for their academic achievement, service to the community, leadership in extra curricular activities and future potential. They join an elite group of students selected from more than 1,000 in­ stitutions of higher learning in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and several foreign nations.

First comes the three or four game pre­ Christmas basketball schedule, then the bulk of the league season in January and February, and finally the state tournament in March. The first of those three 'sections' has been effectually completed by Barry County basketball teams. Now coaches can relax for a couple of weeks and evaluate the initial performances of their teams. It also gives newspaper reporters a chance for a little evaluating too. Four of ’he five county schools are off and running with respective starts this season witn three of those teams tagged only with a single loss. For the most part the coaches seem pleased with the play of their teams and with good reason. Mast have looked sharp the majority of the time. Take Hastings for instance. Coach Denny O Mara probably spent a couple of sleepless nights before the season worrying about rebo’inuing. It has. in fact, been one of the keys to the early success of the Saxons. In the team's only loss (by seven against Ionia > the Saxons were outrebounded 21-18. In their three wins. Hastings has outrebounded the opposition 28-25 and 2"-25. and were even at 30-30 in the third win. game. to success for the Saxons the rest of the season, but there is one another factor that will be critical: balance. Sophomore Mark Brown currently is averaging39 points per game for the Saxons, but sooner or later Hastings is going to run into somebody who is going to stop the y oungster cold. When that time comes, and it will, the rest of the team is going to have to pick up the slack. O'Mara is confident he has talented players on the team other than Brown, but the real test will come when the sophomore has an off night and the other people are called on to perform. So far the team as a whole has played well enough to win. but they face stiff test January 4 at home against Sturgis and January 7 at Albion. As for shooting. O'Mara has to be happy with the results there. Through their first four games the Saxons have hit 57. 56, 51 and 56 per cent of their shots. Another of the area teams — Middleville —. has been a bit perplexing to it’s coach, Skip P ranger. The Trojans have won four of five games, but have sputtered in doing so. They fell behind Portland. 20-1, and Wyoming Lee, 2512, before finally rallying to win. Against Hamilton, the Trojans jumped off to a much better start, but collapsed in the second period. They eventually lost the osses. If the Lions can avoid similar scoring Thornapple Kellogg has all the ingredients breakdowns in the future, they should be able in the world to produce a winner.

Delton s basketball team, winner of three But every so often there comes a seniorof five games, has had only one mayor dominated team like Middleville that doesn't problem in it's first four games, but it’s one seem to play up to their capabilities. The that is going to have to lie solved The reasons are hard to pinpoint One reason Panthers are currently averaging close to 28 might be that some players actually have turnovers a game with one particularly better seasons as juniors because of senior gruesome game that included a staggerine year distractions such as college, proms tou I of 40 turnovers. 88 ”g cars, jobs, etc. When and if that number of turnovers is Another reason might be that sometimes reduced, coach Bob Prentice's squad could when great things are expected of a team contend for the Kalamazoo Valley cham­ they tend :o play tight. The game ceases to pionship. There is that much talent on the be fun as the players realize nothing short of team. winning is expected Lakewood s basketball team is. well shall A third reason for a talented team to come we say "building.” The Vikings have won up a little short is that the supposedly weaker two games in five starts as first-year coach teams point to their matchups. The lesser Mike Maciasz has had to practically start teams have nothing to lose and everything to from scratch this year gain in these type games, and that makes it a Lakewood s only returning ballplayer with rougher road for the better teams. any experience w as Randy Hazil. and he was One team that is playing as expected is felled before the season even started with Maple Valley.

The word is balance. <)n paper at least, there doesn't appear to beany real patsies in the league. As many as four teams have somewhat realistic chances of seizing a championship, and the end result should be a tight race with no team having the capability of running off with the title. The coaches feel no Twin Valley team will survive the rigorous 14-game league schedule without two or possibly three losses. Most of the coaches lean towards Sturgis and .Albion as the two title favorites. The Trojans have won 14 Twin Valley basketball titles while the Wildcats perennially have championship-quality teams.

Bluejays common to your bird feeder by John Lerg. Dept, of Natural Resources Possibly the most common bird at the winter bird feeder is the bluejay. Colored in shades of blue and decked out m its feather creston topof its head, this bird is difficult to overlook. The bluejay is a seed eater and it is quick to seek out sunflower seeds, a favorite food. Bluejays seem to take over when they visit the feeder. Other birds either give bluejays wide berth at the feeder or leave altogether. Bluejays are larger, noiser, and more aggressive than most other birds at the feetier. Researchers have recorded over 250 dif­ ferent bluejay song and call variations. Most people recognize the raucous call of this bird. Hunters know well their more excited call warning of strangers in the woods. Farmers recognize their “squeaky gate’’ call as a forecast of rain. This combination of behavior and calls make the bluejay a welcome site at the feeder. Whether or not you like this bird, it commands the attention of other birds and bird watchers alike.

The board heard comments from county and state officials and lake residents at its meeting, Tuesday. The Algonquin Lake Association’s plans to lower the level of the lake by 8>? feet were stopped by a restraining order issued by Circuit Judge Hudson Deming. A hearing has been set for January 14 on the matter. The county board became involved because the state Department of Natural Resources wants the county to initiate procedings to set a legal lake level in circuit court. Robert Shaffer, environmental director for the Barry-Eaton Health Department, said that he had met with DNR officials. Thur­ sday, who argued that the county should initiate court procedings. The DNR can also initiate procedings to set the lake level, or they can be initiatedby two-thirds of the lake property owners. Leon Cook of the DNR told commissioners that if the DNR initiated procedings, the DNR would have to absorb the costs. "There are costs involved in establishing and maintaining a lake level," Cook said. "Costs would result from necessary studies, assessment rolls, court costs and legal fees." Audrey Burdick. Barry County drain commissioner, estimated the cost at $56,000. Cook added, however, that the DNR recommends that setting a legal level would solve the fight among residents over the lake level. Some residents says their wells dried up when the water level was dropped in previous years. Commissioner P. Richard Dean, who will head the lake association next year, told Cook that ne is against the “draw down" of the lake level and against establishing a legal lake level. "It is my understanding." Dean said, "that if the DNR initiates this action, there would be no assessment to the residents." Pair suspected of armed robberies since slayings in Prairieville ivu2a;nazuu law enluixuafioL officials say the two men charged with the Nov. 30 rob­ bery and murders of Helen Mott and Frances Y(Kings may be responsible for pair of armed robberies which occurred over the two days following the double homocide. Rodney Bernard Surratt, who lists an address of 22 Hanover St., Battle Creek is scheduled to be arraigned today for the armed robbery of a Richland liquor store. The suspect was transported to the Kalamazoo jail from Barry County on a warrant Wednesday. According to Kalamazoo County Sheriff Detective Mike Brown, his department is investigating Kevin Grote’s involvement in that robbery. Investigator’s close to the case say the Kalamazoo City police suspect both Surratt and Grote of the Dec. 2 armed robbery of a Little Ceaser's Pizza restaurant on Kalamazoo's west side, where less than $100 was taken. A Kalamazoo police spokesman said a warrant is expected soon for one of the suspects, but he did not deny nor confirm that Surratt or Grote were involved. Police say they visited Surratt in his home Dec. 7, after Grote told them that he had been driving a truck for Surratt the night of the murders. Surratt was arrested at that time on a probation violation, and taken to the Kalamazoo jail, where he was questioned concerning the murders. On Dec. 10, he signed a statement implicating himself and Grote in the Prairieville murders. According to Detective Brown, a man fitting Surratt's description held up Serafino's party store in. Richland Dec. 1, escaping with $250. Brown said that when he visited Surratt Dec. 10, the suspect was wearing a coat matching the description ot that worn by the robber. Holiday hoodlums snatch trees, lights Vandals with a flare for the holidays have struck area residences, stealing strings of Christmas lights and cutting down small firs for Christmas trees. A ten-foot blue spruce was recently reported stolen from the Marie Gillons residence, 545 E. Mill. Gillons told city police the thieves not only took the tree, but the decorations and lights as well. Irene St. Martin, 212 E. Clinton St, told city police someone cut down fir trees growing on her property along Fall Creek. The trees reportedly grew 10 to 11 feet in heigth Wendell Smith, 515 E. Charles St., reported Sunday that a string of Christmas lights were swiped off his front porch. Police located the lights, with several bulbs smashed, about 50 feet from Smith's house Another string had been torn down and left on the porch. Glen DenHartog, 907 N. Glenwood, reported to city police the theft of four strings of Christmas lights and an extension cord from his home. Total value of the missing items is placed at $25 Vandals have also recently hit the Casaraz residence. 425 S. Jefferson, smashing Christmas lights and tearing down shrubs, reportedly causing $50 damage. Dean charged that the DNR is shirking its duties “as they have many times in Michigan." He also recommended that the commissioners take no action because they did not yet have enough background. Cook responded that the DNR has never initiated action on a lake level. Warren Craft, outgoing president of the lake association, called the DNR’s recom­ mendation for county board action “at this time" inappropriate. “I think (lake residents) would certainly object to an assessment for establishing a lake level,” Craft said. He said that attorneys have told the association that it is not in violation of DNR regulations. The DNR has denied the associations permit to draw down the level. Craft said the denial came about because 18 wells have gone dry in the past. Donald Murdoch, 2219 Jeanne Dr., a past association president, also voiced opposition to establishing a legal lake level, based on the cost Murdoch said that lake residents are already being assessed at $10,000 per year for three years for chemical weed control. Rush Stidham, owner of Stidham Gravel Co., put up $5,000 in personal money to obtain the restraining order. “I am very worried about my water supply," Stidham told commissioners. He said that the DNR told him continuous draw­ downs will affect the water. Warren Williams, 1919 Ottawa Dr., said that his well has gone dry each time the lake has been drawn down. Williams presented a petition signed by 93 people of 109 he had contacted who were against the draw down. He said he collected the names in a day and a half. "It seems to me that all these problems are caused by a handful of people that canU live without playing with that dam,” Williams said. "I don’t understand why the DNR has dumped this in your laps.” Williams con­ tinued. “If they want a legal lake level established, then they should foot the bill, not us.” Judy Hughes, prosecutor, told com­ missioners that in all circumstances, the people around the lake will by assessed for the oill to set a legal level. Hastings Craft told commissioners that some people favor the draw downs so they can clean up their shores and keep breaking ice away from the shoreline -ommissioner James Gordon made a motion to initiate a study of the problem, with input from the health department, the drain commissioner, the prosecutor and the - commissioners. "I think it is needless for such a study," Dean said. Board Chairman Kenneth Radant told the commissioners that in an hour’s time, they cannot act as judge and jury on an issue that lias gone on for years Murdoch suggested that the com­ missioners give the association another chance to solve the problem. "This board will change in January and so will ours," he said. Stidham told commissioners that he would withdraw his restraining order if he could get assurances from the commission and the association. Commissioner Paul Kiel made a motion to table Gordon's motion for 60 days. Voting in favor of tabling the matter were Richard Landon. Richard Sunior, Edward Daniels, Otis Hermenitt, Radant. Kiel and Dean. Voting against were Albert Bell and Gordon. Walter Soya and Jack Love were absent.

The guide includes information about activities, tourist sights, and shopping in the county. She said the brochure will be available at the state line and other areas.

Warren told com­ missioners she had resigned from the board of directors of the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce to avoid any conflict of interest between the chamber and the tourism committee, which she chairs. — Kiel reported that there are 22 pump stations in place on the Gull Lake sewer project.

Rodney Bernard Surratt 30,' 22 Hanover St., Battle Creek, was bound over to circuit court on one count of robbery, two counts of first-degree murder, and two counts of felony murder first degree. He refused the services of an at­ torney at his arraignment, and waived preliminary exam in the stabbing deaths of Helen Mott and Frances Youngs in a Prairieville home. Investigators say Surratt has signed a confession which implicates both himself and Grote in the murders, and that he has done so without promise of immunity or a plea bar8ai,L K.,In Grot. Surratt testified in district court, during Grote’s preliminary exam Monday, that he accompanied Grote to the Prairieville home and watched as he attacked one of the women. of water, Surratt told Barry County District Court Judge Gary Holman how a casus1 meeting between the two men at a plasma donor center in Kalamazoo had turned into a night of robbery and murder. "We was just talking, shooting the breeze, and Kevin said he’d been cutting wood for two old ladies,” said Surratt. He said Grote told him that when it came time to pay him, one of the women reached into a kitchen drawer "and pulled out a lot of money." "He (Grote) said he wanted to go out there and rip them oif," said Surratt. Surratt said at firsthe was reluctant to join Grote, but eventually relented. According to Surratt, the two men drove by the house twice, drank beer, then parked at a small driveway a few hundred yards from the Youngs residence, and waited for Young’s house lights to go off. As they waited, Grote said they would wear their socks on their hands so as not to leave fingerprints, said Surratt. He also said that Grote got two jack handles from the trunk to use as weapons. Surratt testified that Grote told Him the money might not be in the drawer where Grote had seen it, and that the two men migh* have to "make the women tell" where it was. Surratt testified he showed Grote a knife with a five-inch blade, used for cutting shingles. After waiting "a long time", Surratt said -------------- —----- * x. .. *?»** “!»««»«•<* that ran along the side of the road, then used their shoulders to break down the back door and entered the Young residence. "Then what started out to be ’go in and get the money outof the drawer’ didn't happen,” said Surratt He said that Grote immediately attacked Mrs. Youngs, who was watching television. “Kevin was hollering and screaming at her,' ’ said Surratt. He said Mrs. Youngs was screaming “’Oh, oh, ' what are you doing "err? d. here? Why are you doing this to me? I’ve been trying to help you. Stop. Stop."’ According to Surratt, "She knew Kevin right off the bat." Surratt testified that he began searching the house for the second woman, Mrs. Mott, and found her in bed. “She looked like a bedridden type of woman. Like someone had to wait on her,” said Surratt Surratt testified he struck Mrs. Mott in the face with his fist Investigators believe he used a jack handle. _ „ Continued on page 2 All is not well with two city wells in Hastings by Elaine Gilbert Because of problems with two wells at Tyden Park, about half of the water supply sources for the city of Hastings are now considered to be available only on an emergency standby status, city council members were told Monday night. “It’s not too encouraging," said Coun­ cilman William B. Cusack after he read a letter stating the problems and possible alternatives from L M. Miller and Associates of Ann Arbor, consulting engineers and geologists. Michael C. Klovanich. director of the city’s public services, said he is in the process of obtaining cost estimates for possible solutions to problems with the wells. Jim Campell of the city water works department said Wednesday that the city “has plenty of water for its needs now" even though half of the water supply is considered for emergency use only. "If we had a major fire, we could still use the wells at the park even though they pump water with sand. Last summer, the Miller firm spent more than 60 hours removing sand and pipe scale at the 30-year-old well number three in the park. "However, with modest agitation additional fine material could still be developed and it was deemed that all reasonable efforts had been expended to return the well to a regular service con­ dition," said Lynn M. Miller, hydrogeologist for the firm, in the letter. The pump at well three was reinstalled for emergency use and Miller said it then became essential to positively determine the status of well number four. Sand and granular particles are in the water produced by well four, Miller said. "As of now, no satisfactory explanation of where the granular material originates at this well has been developed," he said. Television inspection, caliper and other geophysical loggings can be undertaken to try to Investigate why granular material is present in the water supply from that well. Miller said. But, there is no solid asurance that those procedures would develop a complete cure, he added. He said alternate procedures available to improve the current situation include further work at the present wells with questionable results, replacement of the wells at selected locations, a very expensive undertaking; or the installation of sand separator equipment. Of the three options, sand separators would probably be the least expensive but would entail enlargement of the existing well house and substantial alteration of well house piping,” Miller noted. Before sand separators can be installed plans and specifications would have to be submitted to the Michigan Department of Public Heath to secure a construction per­ mit. Another solution Miller said the city could consider would be to cc ‘Struct a new 350-foot deep well in the northeast corner of the park. That location would be about 600-feet nor­ theast of the present well house for wells three and four. In other business, the council adopted a resolution changing the dates for collection Continued on page 2 Nolan Clothier Clothier draws a lengthy prison term for May 28 shooting Seventeen-year-old Nolan Leonard Clothier was sentenced Friday to 25 to 40 years in prison for the May 28 shotgun slaying of Jerry Lee Cole, 23, of Dowling. Clothier, of 5865 Lacy Rd., w’as found guilty Nov. 12 of second-degree murder. During a three-day trial, witnesses described how Clothier gunned down Cole in the front yard of a Lacy Rd. residence, following an altercation between the two men. Circuit Court Judge Richard Robinson credited Clothier with 197 days spent in custody prior to sentencing, and further ordered the defendant toundergo psychiatric counseling. During the trial, witnesses close to Clothier described him as having a violent temper, as well as a serious drinking problem. A psychiatrist, called by the defense, described Clothier as having "an anti-social per­ sonality disorder,” but clearly pointed out that the defendant is not mentally ill. Hastings police investigate twin Monday burglaries Hastings City Police are investigating two Monday night break-ins at the Strand Theatre and the Free Methodist Church. Police don’t know if the burglaries are related. The first break-in occurred sometime late Monday night, when thieves stele a diamond ring and $4 in change from the Strand Theatre, 213 W. State St. Police say thieves entered by prying open an exit door. Money was taken from a cash drawer in the theatre lobby. The ring was stolen from an unlocked safe in the upstairs office, according to Officer Al Stanton. Thieves also hit the Free Methodist Church, 301 E. State Rd., sometime Monday night. Police say $500 worth of sound equipment, and some toy trucks from the church nursery were stolen. Entry was gained by prying open a basement window. The mayor’s tree is “not for sale” The Barry County 4-H Council has been selling Christmas trees for the holiday season on the north end of the courthouse lawn. On Wednesday afternoon though they found one that was Not For Sale or, more literally, one that had been planted on the grounds. Vickie Landes, from the 4-H Council, took time off to admire the stately white pine, donated by Hastings Mayor Ken Howe, and his family. The tree was planted on the lawn with permission from the county commissioners. The city, meanwhile, donated its time to plant it. Mayor Howe extended an invitation to residents to decorate the pine tree for the holiday season. The tree may help develop some community spit it at Christmas time,” he said, oxplaining the donation. We would like to have people come down and put things on it as a gift from their families.” On the Inside " Kids talk about Christmas...page9 • Dairy farmers are honored...page 6 �The Hastings Banner.

(Bonner photo) Shoplifting is the nation's most expensive crime, accounting for monetary losses in excess of $24 billion a year. By contrast, bank robbers steal about S50 million a year. In Michigan the cost of pilfered jewelrv, cigarettes, perfume, lighters (some of the shoplifters favorite items) and other goods annually exceed $1 billion. And that is jus’ the value of the stolen goods. Consider also the cost to merchants for security personnel and equipment, and the cost to tax payers for law enforcement, * trials, probation activities - and the millions in lost sales tax revenues. Consumers pay fo«- the misdeeds of shoplifters through higher grocery bills, Bv one estimate, about $200 is tacked on to the average family’s grocery bill per year. Barry County courts handle ap­ proximately 50 to 60 shoplifting cases a year according to Glen Staup, district ccurt magistrate. Staup says the maximum penalty for shoplifting, a misdeamenor, is 90 days in jail a $100 fine, or both. Most cases are disposed of with a guilty plea. Court records show that the average shoplifter pays a fine, anywhere from $50 to $100. A few individuals, many times habitual offenders, serve time in jail. A 40-year-old Hastings man recently received ten days in jail for shoplifting. But the crime of shoplifting lingers on in a person’s life. Staup points out that the con­ viction goes into the individual’s criminal record, which is public record. He adds that there is a good chance a prospective em­ ployee will learn about a shoplifting con­ viction. Police may arrest a shoplifter under the city shoplifting ordinance, or under a state law for larceny under $100. However, police also have the power to arrest a shoplifter for larceny in a building, a felony. So who shoplifts? There is no. standard profile for a shoplifter, as individuals from all walks of life have been arrested for the crime. One study estimates that one of every 50 shoppers is a shoplifter. But law enforcement officials and psychologists have been able to narrow down the shoplifter to one of five types of in­ dividuals. The first, and most prevalent, are teenagers. In more than 50 percent of ap­ prehensions, the violators are 13 to 19 years old. Many of the times, these youthful of- tenders say tney stole because they didn’t have the money to pay for the item, or thev did it fora thrill or on a dare. "Adult amateurs" comprise the second category. These individuals come from all walks of life. Bored housewives stealing for thrills are often mentioned by law en­ forcement officials, as are senior citizens trying to stretch their budgets. Many times, police will apprehend a shoplifter, and find he or she has money to pay for the item stolen. in a car. slumped over his steering wheel on woodlawn Ave. Officers George Winick and Harold Hawkms say that as they approached the vehicle, the car suddenly started up and drove away, westbound on Woodlawn. The patrolmen say that Montague ran the stop sign at Woodlawn and Broadway, almost striking a northbound sheriff department cruiser driven by Sgt. Richard Barnum ol trouble if caught by claiming mistakes or threatening to sue. The fifth type of shoplifter, and the most rare, is the kleptomaniac. This person usually psychotic, has an uncontrollable impulse to steal. Dick Thomas, assistant manager at the radpaush Food Center in Hastings, says that about two-thirds of the individuals caught shoplifting in his store are under 30 years old Continued page 9 MlirdorS (Continued from page 1) Surratt told the judge that he did not use the knife, and that he gave it to Grote when he asked for it, although Surratt said he cannot remember when that was. He also denied opening drawers in search of money, although he did admit looking in i oung s refrigerator for a bank envelope full of money she kept there. Surratt said he did not see Grote assault Mrs. Mott. The two men left Young's house and drove back to Kalamazoo. Surratt said he counted »-40 taken from the house. Surratt said his share was sit.

Dr. Bader Cassin, Calhoun County Medical Examiner, a forsenic pathologist, said both women were killed by knife wounds to the heart. Mrs. Youngs, he said, had wounds to the left forearm, chest, side, and five "small, distinct stab wounds ’’ on the neck, stretching from ear to ear.

Under the change in collection dates, half of the school taxes will be collected on July 1, 1983 and the other half on Dec. 1, ’983 instead of on an annual basis as in the past.

They tend to be unpredictable in their crime, as their methods are opportunistic and im­ pulsive. Also, such individuals tend to be violent if apprehended.

Ann Ainslie Madonna Mendonca Most of this week’s respondents said they would welcome any kind of business or manufacturer in the area - as long as jobs came with it A few expressed concerns for the environment. ‘Chemical plants," says Bill Ransom of Hastings. "Chemical plants, along with pharmaceutical firms, are still working," says Ransom. He adds that the area needs more diver­ sification in its industry “I would think that small, non-automotive related industries would work out well in this community.” says Ann Ainslie, of Hastings. "Perhaps industries that are producing software for computers, or electronics...the newer technologies," says Ainslie. "Anything that would put people to work. I don't think we should be too choosy." says Janice Ewer, of Hastings. On second thought, Ewer says she would not like to see a chemical plant come here. "I really don’t care too much about chemical Jerry Geiser Janice Ewer Don Belles cecli 5mit) plants...Then you get into the problems of waste and ever thing." "It would be pretty interesting to see something decent come in," says Don Belles, of Hastings. "Maybe something automotive. "People need to work,” says Beiles, ad­ ding that he wouldn’t object to a heavily polluting industry, such as a paper mill, or a chemical plant, setting up in Barry County. He adds that a new industry should not be similar to a plant already here. "A canning factory, perhaps." "Anything at all, because I think we need it,” says Madonna Mendonca of Middleville. Mendonca said she would object to a heavy­ polluter. such as a paper mill, or an oil refinery. "Definitely I wouldn't want that." "I wouldn't want anything that would ruin the ecology-, but other than that anything that would bring jobs would be okay," says Mendonca. “I’d like to see some automotive industry. We haven't got much automotive in here anymore," says Jerry Geiser of Hastings. "I think that if they would spread it out to some of these smaller towns, it might help a little, the costs of what automobiles cost the customers," says Geiser. "Anything that would build up the town,” says Geiser "Anything that would bring jobs," says Cecil Smith of Hastings. Smith would not mind a heavy polluter, such as a paper mill. “They’ve got them every place else. They might as well be here," he says. "I do say that something has to be done here in Hastings, because it looks very bad for Hastings. There’s people without jobs," says John Rogers of Hastings, who retired from Viking Corp. 12 years ago. "I think we deserve some industry in this town. It’s big enough to handle industry..It wouldn’t matter to me what they bring to town. ” �The Hastings Banner, Thursday.

Don’t let fire ruin your holiday time Each year thousands of families mark Christmas as a lime of tragedy instead of joy due to deadly fires. The real tragedy is that most of these fires can be prevented. By following a few common sense tips, your family can enjoy a happy and safe holiday season. Electrical fires occur throughout the year, but during the holidays, they increase sharply. Be sure your outlets and circuits are not overloaded. Decorative lights are often used year after year; check carefuliy for frayed and worn cords and replace or discard them. Also, use care when placing decorations which use bulbs, especially in windows where curtains ordrapes can ignite easily. Candles are very popular during the holiday season. These should be carefully placed as well. Never leave burning candies unattended. While a charming tradition, burning candles on a Christmas tree is very dangerous, even if you, stay in the room. Trees dry out quickly and can ignite before you are able to take action. A live tree should be bought as fresh as possible. Hold the tree upright a .d thump the base on the ground a few times; if the needles fall off, the ’ree has begun to dry. Before' you mount your tree in a stand, cut an inch or two off the bottom of the trunk so it will absorb water more easily. Always keep the base of the tree in water and check it daily. (Evaporation can be s.awed by adding beer to the water.) Dispose of your tree soon after the holidays, before it drys out. But never dispose of your tree by burning it indoors in a fireplace of furnace. If you buy a arlifical tree, be sure it is flameresistant. And remember, these materials only retard fire; ultimately they will burn. In addition, the fumes generated by a smoldering ar ’fical tree can be just as deadly as an actual fire. It is best to use the same care with an arlifical tree as with a live tree. Place your tree away from . fireplaces, radiators, and other sources of heat. , When making out your Christmas shopping list, consider a gift of life - give a smoke detector.

FAITH STOPS YOUR COMPLAINTS ABOUT MINOR ANNOYANCES SJow many times did ycu complain about something today? Are you sure that there is never a car coming from the opposite direction until you are trying to turn left into your driveway? Was that long line at the bank put there deliberately, just to keep you from reaching the teller's window? Does the phone always stop ringing as soon as you finally get the door open after a frantic fumble for your keys? Of course, all these things are extremely annoying, but they are not the result of some giant conspiracy against you. so don’t get so upset over them. That person will undoubtedly call again, and you did eventually get to where you were going. The place you should be going to is your House of Worship, where you will learn to take those minor irritations in stride; and be thankful instead for all the things that have gone right for you, today or any other day.

Bargaining for antiques; continued from last week: Often dealers who. in bargaining, have had their price met. have then refused to sell the item because the buyer consistently downgraded it. It costs nothing to show appreciation for a lonely antique. You may be remembered and called if the dealer should happen to decide to sell it at a lower price. Point out to him that, if he should find another at a price you can afford to pay, it would be a quick tur­ nover sale. Many times a dealer is able to buy the same item, or one comparable, for less than he paid for the previous piece, therefore allowing him to sell it for less and still make his profit. Don't point out flaws to a seller as if he didn’t know they existed. He does and probably knows of more than the buyer can find. This is especially true on antique fur­ niture. When there is a noticeable flaw, point it out by saying, "How much would this be worth if in perfect condition?" By doing this you may plant a question in the dealer’s mind.

According to students there, a lot of good boys and girls in that room are anxiously awaiting the arrival of Santa. The eight children who were interviewed by the Banner have vivid descriptions of what Santa Claus is like One little gal, though, was reluctant to describe Santa as being a bit overweight. Asked if Santa is skinny. she hesitatingly replied. "He's ..like...fat." All say they have been busy helping with Christmas preparations at school and al home and have favorite ornaments that they like to hang on their trees. Tamnn Davison. 5. says "a white angel with wings" is the decoration she likes to put on her tree. A favorite pre-holiday activity for Tammy is helping to make cut-out Christmas cookies in a variety of shapes. Kiwanis and Rotary get the Christmas spirit The Christmas gift she is most hoping to receive is a real" cat to replace one named Flintstone that she used to have. Christopher Willett, 6. says. "The reason I’m looking forward to Christmas is because Santa comes and brings good boys presents. "I'm a good boy every weekend...sometimes." he said. This year Christopher is hoping Santa will bring a “Dukes of Hazzard Slam Set." To get ready for Christmas, "hristopher said he has been helping with the dishes and decorating the tree. "I put the star on top," he said proudly. “The star has a light that goes on and off. We baked cookies to hang up too.” Wrapping presents is another activity he enjoys. "I can do it in a jiffy...every single one. I like to give presents to people." In his description of Santa, Christopher said. "He s got boots that are black, just like my Dad's." Erin Johnston. 5. said, "The thing I like best about Christmas is the good things I find in my stocking., an orange, little presents, and candy canes. Jason Deal Going to get the family Christmas tree is a pre-holiday activity that is at the top of Erin’s list. "We didn't gel a Blue Spruce tree last year, but we did this year." she said. Her favorite ornaments on the tree are artificial candy canes. Making decorations at school and helping her mother bake cookies, "small ones with sprinkles," are other Christmas activities Erin enjoys. Talking about the way Santa looks, she said, "he's got red clothes, a black belt and boots, and a big sack with things for kids." For Christmas, she said she asked Santa to bring a "sewing machine set" because she likes to make doll skirts. Matthew Belton. 5. said, “I like trees, stockings, stars, and Santa." Matthew said his holiday wish list includes a two-wheel bike, a B.B. gun. and a mini­ bike. He said he's expecting Santa to come this year because "I've been good." In the spirit of the Christmas season, the Hostings Kiwanis and Rotary clubs set aside their rivalries for the annual combined meeting and concert by the Hastings High School choir. As Kiwanis President William Ransom told the members, Wed­ nesday at Leason Sharpe Memorial Hall, the traditional meeting is the* only time during the year the clubs meet when they are not in competition. The two clubs hold a blood drive contest and a golf outing, each year The traditional Christmas meeting, nested this year by Kiwanis. also includes the entertainment by the choir, which many of the younger Kiwanians and Rotar­ ians were part of in years past. (Banner photo) Christopher Willett Wrapping presents is a task he likes and is looking forward to playing with toys during his Christmas vacation. Shelly Wilder, 5, likes to sing Christmas songs. She volunteered to sing "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" for the Banner reporter, midway through the interview. Shelly said she had fun being a “wreath" in the school Christmas program. She says she is pretty excited about a mysterious present that her nine-year old brother lias for her this Christmas. "I know it’s breakable and it’s tiny," she said. Shelly is hoping Santa will bring a Jelly Belly doll. She describes Santa as having “a long beard, a costume on...and he looks., like...fat." Jason Deal. 5, says he likes Christmas because "people come to my house, and Santa comes to my house...he’s nice because he brings toys. "I want Santa to bring me a race track...one with semi-trucks on it," he said. Jason says the real candy canes hanging on his Christmas tree are the ornaments he likes best. He also mentions that he enjoys baking chocolate cookies to get ready for Christmas. Chad Wilbur, 5, said "snow and opening presents” are his favorite thoughts about the holiday season. "I like to decorate the tree and I have my own tree too that I put up all by myself in my bedroom. It has bulbs, lights, icicles, and a star,” said Chad. He’s hoping Santa will bring "a truck that you can put cows on. It goes backwards, straight, and sideways." Barry Bailey, 6, is really excited when he talks about what he likes about Christmas. "I like Santa and Rudolph. Rudolph has a big red nose and horns and fur on him. OBITUARY Wilbur R. Fast ____________________ HASTINGS - Wilbur R.

Thursday December 16, 1982 City Wells Page 9 (Continued from page 2) City Attorney Richard Shaw said that the potential liability problem would "be taken care ol in the agreement" wi’h the recycling group. The recycling group, formed last January to provide an alternative to landfilling recyclable materials, already has a site operating in Middleville. The city has received permission from Penn Central Corp, to remove 11 railroad crossings in the city because rail service is no longer available here, reported Coun­ cilman Gordon F'uhr. chairman of the streets committee Removal of the tracks probably will not take place until spring, and Councilman David Jasperse questioned why the work should be done at city expense. "They ‘Penn Central* have the right-ofway (along the tracks', but we have to pay for the removal and re-blacktopping.” Jasperse said, questioning that logic. The council referred the matter of proceeding with removal of the tracks to Shaw for his advice. Penn Central has granted permission to remove rails, crossing signals, and warning lights at the following locations: Industrial Park Drive. Cass. Washington. Park, Church. Jefferson and Michigan Ave at the intersection of Apple St., State St. at Bolt­ wood Siding. Court St. at Railroad St.. Center Rd. north of State St. and State St. at Center Rd. The rail crossing on Broadway was not included because it is a state trunkline, under jurisdiction of the state. In return for granting permission to remove the crossings and retain the salvage ' except for the rails which will be picked up by the track purchaser*. Penn Central wants the city to agree to release it from any claims of the city or its agents for personal injury or property damage that might arise from removal of the rails at the crossings. A public hearing has been set for 8 p.m. February 14 on a request for rezoning property owned by Dr. Kenneth Merriman. 1005 N. Glenwood Dr. Merriman has requested that a parcel of property on State Rd. and Glenwood be rezoned from residential suburban (RS) to rural residential (RR) Jasperse. chairman of the city planning and ordinances committee, noted that if the change is approved it would allow animals to be kept on the property and the lot lines would have to be larger in his request, Merriman noled that he had no intention of sub-dividing the property. He said the rezoning would correspond with the adjoining cemetery zoning. Notices of the rezoning request will be sent to neighboring property owners. The council approved the transfer of a Class C liquor license from Norma and Robert Mulder of Muldoons Welcome Tavern. 114 S. Jefferson, to Donna and Richard Rector A flooded basement problem from an alleged inadequate storm drain on E. Marshall was referred to the council's street committee. Councilman Fuhr read a letter from John Brookmeyer of 719 E. Marshall who com­ plained that his basement has been flooded four times in the last 10 months because of flooding on his street due to inadequate stormdrains He said normal rainfall has not effected his basement, but that a heavy dow npour of rain sometimes causes as much as a 1'2-feet of water to accumulate in the city street Michael C. Klovanich, director of public services, said the storm drain is undersized. "Clinton (St.) doesn't work either. Water goes down very slow. There are four to five blocks that drain into it." A public hearing was held at the Monday council meeting, with no objections, tc confirm the assessment roll for installation of water mains, sewers, curbs, gutters, and blacktopping on E. Lincoln from N. Ferris to N. Englewood Ave. The council accepted a bid of $11,034 from Frantz Buick & Chevrolet, Inc. of Hastings for a 1983 Chevrolet Suburban van for Fire Chief Roger Caris. The chiefs current car needs repairs of $2,824, more than it is worth, the council was told. The decision to accept the bid for a van rather than a conventional car was made because of the versatility of the van to carry fire equipment and transport firefighters back to the fire station, if necessary. The cost of the new van will be taken from the city’s unapropriated funds The cost of a new light bar for the fire chief's car was also approved in the amount of $496 90 from West Shore Services. The council also granted approval for bids to be obtained for a new city truck for sludge transport. The current truck is "wearing out." Councilman Cusack said. A one-year contract for janitorial and custodial services for city hall and the grounds was renewed with C & R Appliance Service. The new conract. effective from Jan. 1. 1983 to the end of the year, is for $317.30 per week, the same rate paid this year. County unemployment drops in latest figures The monthly unemployed rate for Barry County dropped 2.3 percent in Barry County, according to the latest figures released by the Michigan Employment Security Com­ mission. The October jobless rate stood at 14.2 percent, down from September's 16.5- per cent. Across Michigan, unemployment climbed in seven of the state's 13 statistical areas.

Continued from page 2 He says that in his 20 years in the grocery retail business, the shoplifter profile has remained the same, meaning "a cross section of the public." Thomas says that Feldpausa prosecutes "98 percent of the time" when it catches a shoplifter. "Only very small children, and persons who are not well mentally" don't get prosecuted, he says. He adds that once a shoplifter is convicted, he is asked not to come back to the store. Thomas offers his reasons why people steal from stores - "Sometimes it's a thrill, or the person thinks we owe it to them They think that since they've spent hundreds of dollars here, that they have the right to gel some back." Shoplifters use many ingenious ways to conceal their booty, says Thomas He says store employees are instructed to look out for shoppers earning large hags or purses, or large, loose fitting clothing But shoplifters will also hide goods in their underclothing or inside of deep pockets. "Not too long ago we had a gal walk out of here with a six-pack under her arm," says Thomas. Give the Christmas Gift You 11 Open All Year Long. Get Cable TV and HBO.

Thursday. December 16. 1982 Page 10 County eagers off to fast start this season by Steve Vedder If the first three weeks are any indication, it could be a mighty interesting winter for area high school basketball fans At present four of the five Barn County basketball teams have either one loss or are unbeaten. Only Maple Valley at 1-2 is off t0 a slow start. Several of the teams will be tested this Friday with tough games. For example Middleville, which has won all four it’s games, travels to Hamikon <3-1). Hamilton is a junior-dominated team that could provide problems for Middleville especially if the Trojans get off to another slow start The Trojans trailed both Portland and Wyoming Lee by early 10 and 15 point margins in their games. Middleville can't afford that against Hamilton "One of these times we're gonna get down and won't be able to get back up.” said Thornapple Kellogg coach Skip Pranger after the win over a stubborn Lee team "It's going to be a tough game against Hamilton." Middleville will rely on a balanced scoring attack that hasn't failed them so far this season. Delton <3-1. 2-0 league) faces a stiff test when they entertain Galesburg Panther coach Bob Prentice ranked Galesburg in the top half jf the Kalamazoo Valley standings before the season. He sticks with that evaluation. "We re going to have to play a go<xl game because they are one of the better teams." says Prentice, whose team has also been guilty of slow starts "We can t afford to plav poorly in the first half and then expect to come on in the second half." Delton threw the ball away 29 times against Mattawan on Tuesday night and have averaged 27 turnovers a game for the season Prentice says that statistic is going to have to change. "Hopefully that will be improved. If we can I improve the turnovers we're gonna have uroblems down the road." he points out In other county games on Friday night. Hastings 12-D entertains Hillsdale. Bellevue is at Maple Valley 11-2) and Lakewood < 1-1) is al Greenville. Bruce Hartman scored 22 points for Hastings on Tuesday night and if he can come around and help take Hie scoring load off Mark Broun, the Saxons could make noises in the Twin Valley basketball race. Lakewood coach Mike Maciasz said this would be a killer week for his team with Lowell and Greenville scheduled within three days. Lakewood lost the first half of those games on Tuesday to Lowell, 63-54. Greenville is defending Tri River champ and are unbeaten in four games this year Nothing seemed to go right for Lakewood in the Lowell contest The Vikes committed 30 turnovers, lost starters Dave Hilley to foul trouble and Ken Corp to a sprained ankle and could only hit six of 13 free throws. Maple Valley will be trying to rebound from a 71-49 loss to SMAA favorite Pennfield on Tuesday night. Middleville eagers another slow start, beat Lee 74-65 For the second straight game Middleville's basketball team survived a sluggish start to post it’s fourth straight win. this one a 74-65 decision over Wyoming Lee. The Trojans trailed 25-12 at the end of the first period before getting their act together in the second quarter. Middleville coach Skip Pranger said he was just happy to escape with a win. "Anytime you get down by 15 points and still win that tells you something," said Pranger. "That says we must have the mental toughness and desire necessary to win. But the problem is that one of these times we re gonna get down by 15 points and not be able to get back up." Lee's Jim Stehour. the league s leading scorer a year ago. poured in 17 first quarter points to help his team to the early lead. As a team Lee hit 11 of 15 <73 per cent) field goal attempts in that quarter. But the Trojans rallied in the second period to outscore the Rebels 24 12 to trail onlv 37-36 at the half. •We started getting some second shots in the second quarter and we changed our defense to a box-in-one on Stehour.” said Pranger of the reversal. Middleville took command of the contest in the third quarter outscoring Lee 22-14. As usual Middleville was blessed with excellent balance in the scoring department Brian Miller led the team with 19 points. Jeff Kerber added 15. Dave Pern 14 and Jim Schipper 10. Dave Van Sickle and Chris Miller added eight points each. Schipper also had seven steals and seven assists while Van Sickle added six assists. Stehour finished with 35 points for Lee. Both teams had very hot shooting nights. Thornapple Kellogg hit 51 per cent <30 of 59) of it's field goal attempts while Lee made 50 per cent <31 of 62) of it's shots. Pranger said the difference m the game could be traced to the free throw line where Middleville hit 14 of 25 shots to onlv three of six for Lee. "We always teach our kids to drive to the basket so we're going to get our free throws," noted Pranger. The win ups Middleville's record to 4-0 overall and 2-0 in the OK-Blue league. They host Hamilton (3-1) on Friday night. Delton overcomes Mattawan slowdown, wins game 51-43 Middleville's Dave Perry (55) hits two of his 11 points against Hudsonville The unbeaten Trojans face a stiff test this Friday when they play Hamilton, winner of three of four games.

The Panthers started slow in the bailgame, but eventually pulled out the eight-point decision. "Mattawan just didn’t have the size or the players to go with us so they worked a slow, patterned game.” said Panther coach Bob Prentice. "They tried to take us out of our game.” Mattawan did take Delton out of their game if only for the first half. Mattawan trailed 12-9 at the end of one period but then spurted ahead 23-21 at the half. Prentice said he wasn't too happy with his team’s play in the opening half. “We played poorly in the first half, but we came on in the second half," he said. Delton outscored Mattawan 12-7 to lead 3330 at the end of three periods. Delton also held a 16-15 scoring advantage in the final period to nail down the win. "We just came out and played aggressive defense,” said Prentice. "We didn't allow them to score and that allowed us back into the game. We forced them into a quicker game." Dave Barry led Delton with 18 points and 12 rebounds while Gary Chantrenne added 10 points and 15 rebounds. Tom Watson played his best game of the year scoring 12 points. Neither team scorched the nets with Delton hitting only 46 per cent <22 of 48) and Mattawan 41 per cent <19 of 46) of it's field goal attempts. Prentice said the amount of turnovers — they had 29 against Mattawan and have averaged 27 this year — will have to be cut down. "Hopefully, we'll improve that. If we don't they'll be problems down the road," said Prentice. B Stanton. 157; P. Oakland. 173; P. Miller, 133; J. Freeman. 140; A. Burd, 173; R. Haight. 156. B. Carpenter. 193; J. Wait. 199594; L.

Lakewood led 54-50 with three and a half minutes to go but failed to score the rest of the way. The Vikings had their opportunities, but missed a layup and a free throw and also were guilty of a few critical turnovers. "We just fold'll under the pressure We couldn't make the big shot," said Viking coach Mike Maciasz of the game. In faimess to the Vikings though, it probably could be said they weren’t the recipient of too many breaks. For example, starting guard Ken Corp sprained his ankle in the first half and missed the rest of the game. Then starting forward Dave Hilley picked up three quick fouls and spent most the first half on the bench. He started the second half Lions lose to Pennfield 71-49 Pennfield was considered by many to be the frontrunner in the Southern Michigan Athletic Association basketball race this year. After sputtering a bit earlier in die season, the Panthers' fortunes may have taken a turn for the better on Tuesday with a 71-49 win over Maple Valley. The loss drops the Lions to 1-2 overall and 0-1 in theSMAA. Pennfield is 3-1 and 1-1. Pennfield jumped to an early 25-18 lead, but a jumper by Maple Valley's Tony Dunkelburger gave them a 44-43 lead late in the third quarter. The Panthers outscored Maple Valley 28-5 the rest of the way. Dunkelburger led Maple Valley with 14 points. Jeff Hamilton added 10. Reese said the difference in the game was free throw shooting and offensive reboun­ ding. The Lions missed seven one-and-one opportunities in the final period. Out of a possible 17 free throw points in that period the Lions only gained three. In addition. Maple Valley only had three offensive rebounds for the game. "I felt we played an excellent game up until the fourth quarter." said Maple Valley coach Jerry Reese. "We were taking good shots in the fourth quarter but they just ’ weren’t going in." Wrestlers split triple dual with Ionia, Gull Lake The Hastings wrestling team beat Ionia SO­ SO while losing to Gull Lake 40-32 in a triple dual match on December 14. The matches mean the Saxons now have a 3-1 record this fall. Hastings coach Dave Furrow said his team didn't look particularly good in the matchs. and they'll have some rough spots to polish over the Christmas break. "In the match we lost we had five boys leading when they were pinned." said Middleville wrestlers lose first dual Middleville's wrestling team recently lost it's first dual meet of the season, a 45-26 decision to unbeaten Hudsonville. The Trojans now possess a 4-1 record in dual meets while Hudsonville goes to 7-0. Thornapple Kellogg coach Tom Lehman said mistakes were the difference in the meet "Hudsonville is a pretty good team, but we made them look better." said Lehman "We made a lot of mistakes and lost a lot of close matches " Jack Posthumus <98i, Marty Sinke ( 119), Chris Yonkers (155). Nathan Briggs <185) and Jeff Wohlford 'heavyweight) captured wins for Middleville. The Trojans rebounded from the dual loss on Saturday. December 11 when they tied for first with Byron Center in the Caledonia Invitational. Both teams compiled 160.5 points. Sinke. with three pins in three matches. Yonkers, and Briggs all won first places for Middleville in the tourney. Terry Sensiba < 126) took a second while Posthumus. Brent Sisler < 167), and Wohlford all finished third. Fourth place finishes went to Middleville's Delwin Craven (105). Paul Ordway < 138). Randy Winchester < 145) and Bill Pern- < 198j . "We wrestled much better in this tour ney." said Lehman.

Free throw shooting and turnovers also had a hand in the doing in of Lakewood. The Vikes racked up 30 turnovers while only making six of 13 free throws. Lowell, on the other hand, made 15 of 24 free throws. “That’s why we lost it," said Maciasz of the free throws and turnovers. On the brighter side, Randy Hazil returned to action for Lakewood and hit 11 of 16 field goal attempts and finished with 23 points. Eric Heide added 10 points and Corp and Hilley chipped in eight points each in limited playing time. Maciasz said his team played even with Lowell for three and a half quarters. They trailed 25-24 at the half and 35-34 after three periods.

Reports of bluegills are still coming from Middle Lake and perch from Gun I^ike. Now is the lime to dust off the ice fishing gear, sharpen the spud or auger, replace line, and repair broken gear. Safe ice on area lakes is expected in another week to two weeks. Rabbit hunters are finding their quarry in heavy brush areas, usually also with some grass mixed in. When rabbits are found, they are usually in fair numbers. Grouse hunters are also finding birds again. The birds appear to be concentrating on wild grapes which are in good supply this year. Archers are enjoying the late bow season. Deer numbers are good, and hunters are seeing deer. Luck should continue to improve as deer become more concentrated in their winter habitat. A helpful hint - find that wool deer hunting outfit and get it back in moth balls. Clean and oil the deer rifle. Put the rest of your deer hunting gear where you can find it next year. A little preventive maintenance now can mean less to replace next j ear. Preliminary deer kill figures tor Barry County are out. An estimated 2,100 deer out of a total herd of 13,000 were taken during this year’s deer firearm season. This figure was broken down into 1,300 bucks and 800 antlerless deer taken. Less than 100 deer were estimated taken during the muz­ zleloader season. Bow hunters will take 400 deer by the end of the season on January 1. With cold temperatures will come our ice fishing season. Ice fishing equipment should be checked and repaired. Old hooks should be replaced with new sharp hooks. Com borer (good bait* hunting in sweet com patches is practiced by some fishermen to supply their own bait. Wood grubs should also be watched for when cutting wood. Do not try io take to the ice before it is safe. Two inches or mere of solid ice is needed to support a average size person. Consult charts for ice conditions needed for activities you plan. Winter fun in Yankee Springs New trails for cross country skiing are being developed and will be ready for the skiing season when the snow arrives. All trails will start at the Long Lake Outdoor Center. Three trails will be available, a three kilometer trail which is the easiest, a five kilometer which is an intermediate, and a ten kilometer which is an advanced trail. Ample parking is located near the lodge. The only fee required to use this beautiful area is a state park motor vehicle permit. The dining hall will be open as a warming area on every Saturday and Sunday when there is snow. Refreshments will be available including hot dogs and other snacks. The new 1983 motor vehicle permits are now on sale at the office and also at the lodge when it is open. The annual permit again this year is only $10.00 and the daily remains at $2.00. A nice family gift for Christmas would be a new 1983 Michigan Slate Park permit. Hope to see you on the trails this winter. Barry County, a home for Hawks by John Lerg. Dept, of Natural Resources Save 30c Just for the taste of it Barry County is home to hawks all year, but in winter they seem to stand out against the leafless trees. The red-tailed hawks that nested in local woodlols this summer are still in the neighborhood. They are »arge birds often seen perched on dead tree stubs or telephone posts waiting for a mouse to ex­ pose himself. Sparrow hawks, or kestrels as they are sometimes called, are the other hawk commonly seen in the area. About the size of a robin, this hawk is actually a type of falcon. This gifted flier can hover in one place in mid-air while stalking mice, its favorite prey. Sparrow hawks can often be seen laying in wait for their prey along roadsides atop fence posts or on telephone wires. Less common hawks in the area this lime of year include Cooper's hawks and marsh hawks. Cooper's hawks nest here and farther north. In the winter, they migrate to this area in search of food. Small birds are their preferred food. Marsh hawks also migrate into this area to spend the winter. They usually hunt in open fields flying low to the ground in search of mice. Hawks have a mixed reputation. Who has not heard of the "chicken hawk ". Yet because they eat so many mice, they are one of the farmer s best friends. The important thing to remember is that even for their fierce ways, hawks are nature's way of •■eeping the system in balance.

Shuster was sworn in Wednesday night as circuit court judge for Barry and Eaton Counties, replacing Richard Robinson who retired Dec. 18. “I take this appointment with a lot of humility." says Shuster ’’I am very, very pleased at all the nice things that people have said, and the con­ fidence that they have," says Shuster. “I’m going to try to justify that...and do my verybest to live up to the expectations of the people who have put their confidence in me." Judge Shuster. 53, was sworn in Wed­ nesday night at the home of Circuit Court Judge Hudson E. Deming. The appointment, according to a spokesman for Gov. William Milliken’s of­ fice. is effective immediately. However, Shuster says it will be at least two more weaks before he actually presides as judge in Barry County. He says he will spend next week in Lansing at a conference for new judges. "We go to school for a week ’’ ex­ plains Shuster. “I won’t actually be back (in Barry County) to function as such until possibly the week following (the conference), or the week following that. “I take this appoint­ ment with a lot of humility” Judge Richard M. Shuster Shuster has had county-wide supoort for the judgeship since early November, when he made application to the governor’s office. The Barry County Bar Association made a unanimous recommendation for Shuster to the governor, as did a number of civic and social groups in the area. Friends say marital problems sparked Middleville siege by Ken Reibel Friends of Steven Henry Adams say marital problems led to the seven-hour siege of the Middleville man's house by police Sunday night. Adam’s was arrested at 2:45 a.m. Mondayafter police forced him out of his home with tear gas. The 31-year-old Adams was arraigned in Barry County District Court Monday on a felony charge of malicious destruction of police property after he allegedly shot out a headlight of a Michigan Stale police car with a 16-gauge shotgun. At his arraignment. Adams asked the court to appoint him and attorney, and demanded preliminary exam in district court. That hearing is set for Jan. 3. BarryCounty prosecutors say they are con­ templating other charges, depending on the outcome of the police investigation. When askerf » a warns has an: criminal Wood stove blamed in fire Nashville firefighters say a faulty wood stove is to blame for a fire at a Curtis Rd. residence Tuesday. According to Nashville Fire Chief Doug Yarger. the fire at the Ed Allen residence, 5100 Curtis Rd., Nashville, started when a downdraft blew a spark out of a wood stove into the living room. Yarger says the wood stove had been patched, and that the patch had apparently burned away. The family was not home when the blaze broke out. Neighbors alerted the fire department when they saw smoke coming from a hole burned through the front wall of the house. Firefighters confined the blaze to the front living room. Damage to the house and contents is estimated at $700. Shuster’s predecessor. Richard Robinson of Eaton Rapids, says he has "a very high regard" for Shuster. “He’s had a considerable amount of trial experience, which I think is important to making a good judge,” says Robinson. "He has a very high sense of ethics, and with his educational background and his experience, he comes to the job well qualified." "I m certain he’ll be a fine judge for BarryCounty,” says Prosecutor Judy Hughes, adding "I’m delighted that a man from Barry County received the appointment” Shuster attended Ottawa Hills High School m Grand Rapids, then Michigan State College, where he graduated with a bachelor of science in 1950. He received his law degree from the University of Michigan in 1953. He joined the law firm of Warner, Norcross and Judd in Grand Rapids in 1953, then served for two years in the army before returning to that firm in 1956. In 1957 he moved to Hastings because, he says. "I wanted to be a country lawyer." Shuster is a member of the Barry Countv, Michigan and American Bar Associations. He is also a member of the Barry County Historical Society, the Michigan Historical Society, the Barry County Fair Board, the Hastings Rotary Club, the Hastings Elks, and the Hastings Chamber of Commerce. In addition, Shuster has done volunteer work for the Barry County Humane Society, the Boy Scouts of America, the Barn- County 4-H and the YMCA. record, a Middleville police spokesman Wednesday answered "absolutely none." Adams, who is employed at Middleville Manufacturing, is currently being held in the Barry County jail on $5,000 bond. Middleville police say they received a call at 7:45 p.m. from Adams’ wife, Pamela Diane, saying that Adams’ had barricaded himself in his house with his seven-year-old son, Timothy, and threatened to kill himself in front of the boy. A hostage negotiator from the state police spoke with Mr. Adams in his home by telephone. Police say Adams wished to speak with his wife, but that she refused to until he released the boy. Friends of Adams say his wife, Pamela Diane, had told her husband she was leaving with another man to Oklahoma after the holidays. According to friends. Pamela Diane had left for Oklahoma with the same man sometimes last summer, and had returned at her husband’s request. She told her husband recently that she was leaving again, sparking Sunday’s confrontation, according to individuals close to the family. Adams' minister. Rev. Roger Timmerman of the Middleville Christian Reformed Church, says he visited with Adams for about 45 minutes in his home Sunday night, as police cars just up the street kept the house under surveillance. He confirms that Mrs. Adams was preparing to leave her husband, and says Steve “was distraught and con­ templating suicide.” Timmerman says that while he was visiting with Adams, he was unaware that the police had been called. According to Timmerman, Adams was not holding his son hostage. "That’s a bunch of baloney. He would never hold Timmy hostage...He loved that boy like I’ve never seen. He had a good father and son relationship." "When I was (in Adams' home), Timmy was there too. There was no threat,” says Timmerman. He says the boy was sitting at the table with his father during the visit Hastings Banner Devoted to the Interests of Barry County Since 1856 Vol. 127, No. 51 Hastings, Michigan Thursday, December 30,1982— Union expects to ignore deadline by Robert J. Johnston Despite Hastings Manufacturing Co. threats that a decision on relocating up to 250 jobs will be made if a new contract isn’t ratified by Jan. 8, union negotiators say they don’t plan to call for a vote without a firm tentative agreement. The company said, last week, that Jan. 8 was the final date to conclude relocation negotiations. "What do they mean when they say deadline,” David Turnes, chief negotiator for the production maintenance______ section„.of UAW Local 138, said. Turnes said deadlines have already passed that were set on Oct. 1. in mid-October, November, and in mid­ December. The union negotiators also say there is not enough time to complete the contract and call a meeting before Jan. 8. "They told us long ago that that was a date they could do it,” company spokesman Andrew Johnson said. “....We said we’ve got to get this buttoned up....They can stall it forever and there’s just no point in it" Johnson said the union told the company in early December that Jan. 8 was an ac­ ceptable date to hold a ratification meeting. The union negotiators contend, however, that the date was acceptable only if a tentative agreement was signed before that. "There’s no way we’re going to post a meeting when we don’t have an agreement," William Pickard, a member of the union negotiating team, said Pickard and Turnes also said they didn’t think the final company proposal, submitted to them on Dec. 17, would pass a ratification vote if a meeting was called. Johnson and Dennis Witham, director of industrial relations, said they had agreed to the union’s wage and benefit proposals and only provisions for “equality of sacrifice” and job security stood in the way of an agreement. A meeting is set for Jan. 4 to work out final language differences, they said. The union negotiators disagreed, however. They said the final company offer was not the same as their proposal for wages and benefitsand that the equality of sacrifice and job security provisions proposed by the company were not yet acceptable. “Relocation discussions for the preser- INTRODUCTION: The days and times of Irving Charlton Irving Charlton ... founder of Charlton Park, was born 100 years ago this year. Price 20c As I read a recent Hastings Banner and saw the photograph of the two Charlton Park officials placing a wreath on Irving Charlton’s grave, I was reminded of the many years I had known and been associated with him. I became acquainted with him in the mid19308 until his death June 12, 1963, a span of 27 years. I thought of the great influence he had exercised in shaping my life. My only reason for writing this narrative is to attempt to acquaint interested people with the man as 1 knew him. There are a few­ people still around who knew Irving, but the older ones are leaving the scene, and soon it will not be possible to gain an insight on the man as I knew him and as he really was. In the many years I was around him as a neighbor, working for him 12 years at the park, on his farms operating them from 1946^W±:gn“TJ^h,',nUWparki" 1936 mea^ofauthorittof ihe^bjwt ' As to the writer (myself), I wish to be regarded merely as a "prop" or "straight man in the act", only necessary to relay the story. I only hope to perpetuate and honor the memory of my old friend and associate, Irving Charlton. Without apology, I well know I am neither a Hemingway or Mark Twain. I merely am unique in having been so closely associated with Mr. Charlton those many years. I, as Mr. Charlton, am deeply impressed by ana me knowledge «»and ouucai.on education and the more more Lrofo“nd as^ °f 0 Person 1 k"°» To simplify- the communication to in­ terested parties.

I shall use "Stony Point”. Thornapple Lake and river, and the other towns, roads and schools to clarify the account.

He, having been an educated man. could and would teach anyone willing to learn and was of the greatest influence in my life. Some who may hrve by know guessed. 1 am Keith Mead. If Irving had any regard for a young man around him. he would call him "the Kid ”, I was "theKid" for 27 years and as far as I. D. was concerned, I still am. He always said "Hey.

If Charlton did not care for a man, he would say "that fellow". account, but are necessary to give authen­ ticity to it. Any definite dates given are backed by letters, documents and courthouse records. Story on author appears on page 7 by Keith Mead The greatest problem arising in writing about him is when to stop. During the many hours I listened, his stories about his life and travels, ‘he people he knew and associated with and his vast store of mechanical knowledge were endless. In telling one of is experiences, he seldom dated things chronologically, but as "when I was a kid, or going to high school or college, or when I was teaching.’’ However, from 1936 until the present, I was directly involved. I have been given access to records, pictures and court records by neighbors, park of­ ficials and courthouse people and am very grateful to them all in helping me to get an accurate account to pass on to others not fortunate enough to have known him per­ sonally for as long as I have. I have heard people laughing about him, the way he ap­ peared or his lifestyle or the old cars he drove, but I could only feel pity for them not being privileged to really know him as he actually was. As I read the article about Charlton being the donor of the land for the park to Barry County (you and me) and others using it, I wondered how many people knew of the sacrifices, work, and worry he endured to make it all possible. He gave a full and clear title of the land to Barry County with the stipulation that a museum would be built by the county and that he would fill it with relics, which he did. In about 1950, the museum was finally enclosed. He also stipulated that he was to manage it in his lifetime and he did. Both Continued on page 7 vation of 250 or more jobs in Hastings have been concluded," Witham said. "Decisions regarding relocation will be made that cannot be changed in future negotiations.” Johnson added that every month that goes by without a new contract means a loss of several hundred thousand dollars that could be saved. "We want to stay here, but we've got to be able to make money,” Johnson said. "The only permanent job security is a profitable company.’’ Witham said that the final company offer includes equality of sacrifice and job security language which the company feels is fair and equitable. “The company representatives are available to discuss anything,’ lie said. “We’re anticipating that the final company proposal will be taken to the union body for ratification.” Turnes said, however, that no meetings with the company could be held during the holiday period because UAW' International representatives were not available to join the meetings. He said that company officials have been aware of that. "We as a company would feel very badly if the employees were not given a- opportunity to say yes or no," Johnson said. “It's af­ fecting their jobs.” Johnson also said that earlier deadlines were extended because the company felt that negotiations were making progress. Union officials said that the last three meetings, Dec. 1, Dec. 17 and Dec. 21 were “a waste of time." “The company displayed no interest in progressing to an agreement.” Turnes said. Turnes said that ‘he company is try ig to make the leadership of the union and the membership look like they are holding up the settlement. Turnes added that members have told him they are not going to agree to concessions to finance relocation for the company at the conclusion of the agreement or to finance the company’s purchase of stock from outside shareholders. The company is engaged in a program of buying back stock on the open market to increase local control of the firm. Witham and Johnson said the concessions are necessary for the automotive piston ring and filter manufacturer to stay competitive in the future. Witham said that most piston ring companies have completed recent negotiations and received "varied” con­ cessions. He was not specific on the type of concessions received. Turnes contended that the local union has already offered greater concessions than were granted at other companies. Johnson said another competitive disadvantage for the company is that all of its competitors in the piston ring industryhave distribution centers that are not under thr union's master contract and most competitors have secondary manufacturing facilities.

"The way J see it. (Michigan’s economy in ’83) will not beany better than '82 " predicts Baxter. The board president calls the selection of a new school superintendent "the most im­ portant thing that the school board does" in the coming year, adding "We're going about it as systematically as we can." Though he has yet to see a final report. Baxter is optimistic with regards to the study Dr. William Baxter, school board president, says the Hastings Area Schools study group's recommendations will help the school board with its "priority setting” for the coming year. "Priority setting is certainly going to affect things like if we go for millage and in what areas," says Baxter. Regarding the possibility of a millage issue coming up in the new year. Baxter says “I think we will wait for (the study group), but also think we will have to be realistic and see what the economy’s doing.

I've been to a number of the groups’ meetings, and have heard some details of what they're doing, and they’re taking it seriously 1 think we’re going to get a thorough look at what things lock like." He says the most outstanding recom­ mendation the group could make is "Setting priorites in these limited economic times. “When we started making cuts four years ago. they were made on a crisis basis. Each year we’ve looked at our shortfall, and said ‘we have to cut this’.. I hope what this study group will do is look at what we’ve cut and first of all see if those were the appropriate things to cut. “Maybe there are some things that should be put back and other things to cut. 1 think the study group’s biggest function is to help us figure out how to do the best job with limited resources." Baxter sees no chance of school board spending money for computers for high school students "if the state aid formula does not return, and millage does not pass "I think it s going to have to be done in the same way we re financing athletics. A volunteer, contributory kind of basis." He sees more volunteers, but less in­ dividuals willing to participate in fun­ draising. "I think that the people that have been involved with fundraising for athletics, for example, who are into their third year, are getting tired. A lot of them looked at it as a short term thing, and now that it’s become sort of semi-permanent, enthusiasm is waning. I don’t know how long we can con­ tribute to do that. "I do see enthusiasm for volunteerism. I don’t see enthusiasm for fundraising. We’ve had some groups come forward that have done some remarkable things for us volunteer wise.” With regards to a grievance, filed with the state department of labor by Hastings Area School secretaries. Baxter says "We're confidant that we have a good case. I think we have the public on our side. I’m not certain, but 1 think so." He adds that the school board "will not respond in fright" by cutting back on volunteers before the result of grievance is known, possibly in June, 1983. Baxter thinks the system will have to bank more and more on volunteers. "I think that's the only way we’re going to keep our program." he says. He cites volunteers in the library, elementary music and mothers who volunteer in the elementary schools as teacher aides. Baxter says he hopes the study group will help to restore some programs. He says he personally leek strongest about restoring student counseling, and a normal six-hour day. "You just can’t keep that situation per­ petually. I see that as a very short term solution, and that it is self-defeating to continue.” Balanced budget is top 1983 priority, Hastings mayor says By Elaine Gilbert Hastings Mayor Kenneth J. Howe talks about balanced budgets, maintaining and increasing local jobs, and seeking grants when he talks about priorities for the city in 1983. Howe doesn’t envision any major changes for the city in the coming year and speculated that a new city charter, it ap­ proved by voters, is about two years away from becoming a reality. He also said there is a possi bitty of one local company expanding through con­ struction of a warehouse in the coming year and forsees a somewhat brighter general employment picture from slow, steady growth. "The number one priority is keeping the budget balanced and making sure that our (city) revenue stays, at least, where it is so that we don’t have to take any more austerity steps than we have. We’ve layed off five employees this past year and just recently froze all non-appointed wages.” said Howe. One areu of concern, he said, "is that we’ve got all three contracts coming up for municipal workers: police, fire, and city workers. So, were going to be busy negotiating contracts with them. Hopefully, we’l’ be able to resolve those before the contracts expire. “Because our revenue doesn’t go as far as we’d like it, obviously, we are passively trying to find new ways to acquire grants for different projects that we’ve got lined up. "There are many millions of dollars of projects with the plans already drawn up, but obviously no funding is available. We went ahead and drew up a list of priorities of street projects that we’d like done. It'll be many years before they’re ever completed and we'll replace them (with additional street projects) as we complete them," he said. Keeping and expanding local jobs is another top city priority, said Howe, "but when you've got over 30,000 government entities across the United States looking for the approximately 500 companies that make a move annually, the chances of acquiring anything new (here) are very minimal unless its a local start-up. "We want to try to maintain the jobs we’ve got within the city...I have been calling on local industry to see what, if anything, the city of Hastings can do t< either help them stay where they are at in Hastings or perhaps even build or expand by explaining programs that are available which might help a company expand,” he said. “There may be a time down the road when we ll have to become much more involved, should a company decide to expand — how can we find programs for them and what kind of concessions are they going to need?" said Howe. “The thought is that we can work together and we can help each other out. We need each other. And. I think they (local com- _.J“?® Ann Borlow wi" ,ake °ver ,he Julies of Hastings City Treasurer when . Hoines retires Jan 14. The appointment of the Hastings woman was mode at Monday night s city council session. Banner photo New city treasurer named for Hastings Jane Brownell Barlow, 46. of 705 N. Broadway has been named Hastings city treasurer to fill the remaining term of Phyllis Haines whose resignation becomes effective Jan. 14. Mrs. Barlow was appointed to the $16,000 per year treasurer's post Monday by a unanimous vote of the Hastings City Council. (Councilmen Patrick Vaughn and Gordon Fuhr were absent). She was reccommended for the job by the council's selection com­ mittee and was selected from a field of nine applicants. Mrs. Barlow’s appointment as treasurer extends through 1983 and she said she will seek election to the post in the November election. "I’m looking forward to the job (as treasurer), to relating to people, talking to them and encouraging them, she said. A native of Hastings and a 1955 Hastings High School graduate, Mrs. Barlow is currently employed in the main office of Felpausch Food Center in Hastings where she has worked with accounts payable for six years. She is in charge of the purchase in­ ventory slips for Felpausch’s Delton, Leslie, and Pennfield stores. .Previously, Mrs. Barlow was an operator for Michigan Bell Telephone in Hastings, worked in advertising composition at the Reminder for several years, and prior to her 1957 marriage, also was employed at Pen­ ney's in Grand Rapids "where she decorated windows and worked as a sales clerk. She is married to Gordon Barlow, an auctioneer and real estate broker. They previously owned Barlow’s Auction Service where Mrs. Barlow worked for 14 years. Mrs. Barlow will begin training for the city treasurer’s position on Jan. 3 at a weekly salary of $215. She will receive the regular treasurer’s salary when she takes on the fulltime responsibilities of the job when Mrs. Haines retires. The new treasurer and the outgoing treasurer have a lot in common besides "shop talk.” Mrs. Barlow’s daughter, Diane, is married to Mrs. Haines, son John. The Barlows have two other children: Debra who is employed at Harvey Cadillac in Grand Rapids; and David, a student at Kendall School of Design. Mrs. Haines enjoys sewing, decorating, collecting antiques, and country painting. "But, my biggest responsibilities are my children and husband," she said. Mrs Barlow has been previously active in a number of organizations. She has served as treasurer for both the Hastings chapter of Business and Professional Women and the State Auctioneers Women's Auxiliary. She also is a former Sunday School teacher and choir member of the Hastings Baptist Church. As a former leader of the Yeckley 4-H Club, she taught sewing and art. County ‘solid waste plan’nears finish At their January 6 meeting, the Barry County Solid Waste Committee will review the final draft of the Barry County Solid Waste Plan. The completion of the plan is the culmination of three years of work by the committee. The plan revisions to be considered at this meeting are the result of comments made at the September 2 Public Hearing and preliminary reviews by the Dept, of Natural Resources and other relevant agencies. The draft sections covering Data Base. Management System Alternatives and Evaluation of Alternatives as they apply to Barry County were the subject of Decem­ ber’s committee meeting and are complete except for editorial changes to be offered at the January meeting. The Executive Summary, Plan Selection, Management Systems, Public Involvement and Plan Implementation are to be considered on the January Agenda. Following final committee approval, the plan will be submitted to the Barry County Board of Commissioners for approval and to the county's townships and municipalities for ratification by two-thirds of the govern­ mental units as required.

Howe panics) are very optimistic that the city is taking this approach with them, to show our concern for them and their welfare which in turn affects so many segments of our society. “If we lose an industry, it affects our school taxes, real estate properties decrease, jobs decrease, and local payroll decreases' So we’re interested in seeing what we can do to help them," he said. “We’ve been talking to one company that may be interested in putting up a large warehouse that will help them to stabilize their employment. If it is built, they’ll be able to stock more for the faster times when they need their merchandise out and then draw off their stock when things are slow which will basically stabilize their work force. "So. we can look forward to. possibly this year, having some new construction for one industry in town,” said Howe. "Trying to get the most productivity that we possibly can for the number of people we have." is another goal he has for the city. "We're fortunate that we've obtained a stable work force over the years that requires a lot of experience within our various city crews who do a fine job whenever they’re called upon. Now, its finding projects to keep them busy and to have the money to be able to do those projects." he said. One project Howe would like to see begin is the further development of Fish Hatchery Park. "We’re to the point where we've got nearly all the fill dirt down there so we can begin, What’s happening? possibly this coming year, to start small If you see news in the projects down there — add picnic tables, making, call the Banner, walkways, and do some planting of trees." and let us know... he said.

BRIAN SMITH Love, Dawn and Kelly �The Hastings Banner, Thursday, December 30. 1982 — Pogo 4 EPA reports citing Barry County air pollution based on dated info by Steve Horton Media reports earlier this week, stating that most southern Michigan counties (in­ cluding Barry) stood to lose millions in high- A.ettersA to the Editor: Volunteers praised To The Editor: 1 am writing in regard to the article in the Dec. 23 issue of “The Hastings Banner,” concerning the use of volunteers in the schools. While we deplore the necessity of laying off school employees, cutting schoC hours, and the losses of other services, a realistic ap­ praisal of our present situation indicates that these difficulties will not be easily or auickly resolved. We are fortunate to have in our community individuals who are concerned about the quality of education our children are receiving and are volunteering their ser­ vices. Whether in the libraries, music, art, or any other area, we should avail ourselves of these services. This would seem to be the responsible decision in recognition of the economic problems we are encountering and in considering the best interests of the children This does not mean to imply that volun­ teers, or paren’s such as myself who are grateful for their services, wish to deny jobs to teachers, aides or any other previously employed school personnel. We would prefer that professionals be employed as they have been in the past. Present circumstances, however, preclude this from occurring. We must, therefore, use all community resources to insure that every educational opportunity is available and that a quality program is being provided fcr the children of Hastings. It is important that as concerned citizens and parents, we let our views on "what kind of schools we want in Hastings" be known and that we are willing to fight for programs we believe to be important. Linda Lincolnhol Hastings Education officials praise county students To The Editor. As an employee of the Michigan Dept, of Education, I recently had the good fortune of spending one day with 250 student leaders from the high schools within Barry County The event was the Barry County Student Leadership Forum. The forum was co­ sponsored by the Barry County Intermediate School District and the Michigan Dept, of Education. During the events of the day, the student participants discussed and expressed their concerns about public education. They also developed proposed solutions to the critical issues facing our schools. I would like the citizens of Barry County to know how impressed I was with these students. They were an attentive, articulate, and courteous group of young adults. They area credit to their community, parents, and to themselves. Sincerely, Gary Cass Education Consultant Program Coordination Banner staff thanked To The Editor: We would like to take this opportunity to wish each one of the staff members of the Banner a very joyous holiday season. Your cooperation and support of the many educational events and programs of the Cooperative Extension Service throughout the year is very much appreciated. We are all looking forward to working with you in 1983. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Sincerely yours, the Cooperative Ext. Service staff, Janice K. Hartough Kathy A. Walters David W. Merck JohnE. Gergen Marilyn Beach Shirley Towns Marian Hilgendorf Hastings way funds and could have bans imposed on certain factory construction because of failure to meet federal standards for reducing air pollution, apparently were off the mark after a second glance. The reports, based on information received from the Environmental Protection Agency, noted that 472 counties in 44 slates would not meet the deadline tomorrow under the Clean Air Act for lowering emissions of five pollutants. Under the act’s provisions, areas that failed to met the deadline (for reducing the level of pollution) and who have not been granted an extension, faced the loss of high­ way funding, along with grants for local air pollution programs. That information from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), according to an official from the Michigan Dept, of Natural Resources (DNR) and Congressman Harold Sawyer, was dated. Both stated that the list of counties was a 1978 one and that south­ western Michigan, including Barry County, has complied with the Clean Air Act by reducing pollution levels. "The list of non-attainment counties is based on old information," said John Schroeder, chief of the state’s DNR Air Monitoring Dept. "The (EPA) report doesn’t take into account the last year-and-a-half of data (from air monitoring)." The updated information, Schroeder said, will take a lot of counties off the list, in­ cluding the Grand Rapids area. “A lot of them (counties) really don’t have that much air pollution anymore," said Schroeder. "They did have a couple of years ago." Congressman Harold Sawyer (R- Rock­ ford). who rep.esents the northern half of Barry County, echoed that summation. "The list (of non compilers) is just old in­ formation." he said. "I can't explain "why” it war used. 1 just think someone (at the EPA) didn’t know what he was doing." Balanced budget, continued from page 3 Plans for Fish Hatchery Park were drawn up about five years ago. However, the lack of available funding and time to fill-in mucky areas has stalled the project. "The state has tentatively agreed to help us out with some recreational funding once we're in a position to begin building on it (the park). We had to Fill it in so much and had to let the ground settle underneath. There was about 60 feet of muck under there. We had to keep loading dirton topof it to compress that muck to get the moisture out of it. Now we think its settled enough that we can begin to work with it. We’re quite excited about that. It's a super area,” he said. Another improvement Howe hopes can begin in the coming year is the revamping of the library parking lot to general parking use. The major hitch in tackling that project is a federal government restriction of the land's use. The library parking lot area is restricted through a 20-ye ar deed between the city and the federal government which provides for the exclusive use of library parking only. “The government will give it to us — no strings attached — after the 20 years are up in June of 1984. But, because of that string, we can’t change anything now. What we're going to do is ask the government to give us the balance of the time so that we can begin now to improve that particular parking lot for use by merchants and customers in the back area (of downtown stores)," said Howe. Restructuring the lot and removing some of the shrubbery would add parking places, make exiting from the alley to Church St. safer, and improve the traffic flow, he said. Asked if the possibility of a new city charter would be in Hastings future in 1983, Huwe said. “Evidently the (city charter) study committee that will make the report to the council in January has pretty much decided that they would hold that ballot proposal (Should we revise our charter?! until the next general election in November. “It could be asked sooner, but they decided to wait until the general election to ask the people if we should have a new city charter," he said. If voters approve the move to revise the charter, it will take at least a year’s work to iron out possible revisions to submit back to voters. Then, if voters give final approval of charter changes, it would probably take another year to implement them, Howe surmised. “We’re probably two years away from H (the possibility of a new charter. It’s a very long, drawn out process. It doesn’t have to be that long, but it probably will be that long," he said. When talking about the possiblities that 1983 has to offer, Howe said, "If we should have any optimism, it should be this year. We should become a little bit more optimistic that things are going to get better, that things are looking up." He said in talks with representatives of local companies, "I think they feel it (recovery) is coming back...They think it will be a slow, but steady recovery, which to me is more optimistic than anything we've looked at in the last couple of years. "I think things will be turning around for us, and I think 1983 ought to be a fine year for Hastings,” said Howe. Schroeder, is an emission of nitrogen oxides and hydro carbons into the atmosphere that creates a reaction and can cause irratation or other difficulties for persons with breathing or lung problems. The most notable cause of ozone pollution is auto exhaust. Schroeder noted also that such pollution "transports over a long distance", a factor not noted in the EPA report. "The Grand Rapids area would gel ozone pollution from the Chicago area," he said. Both Sawyer and Schroeder also stated that, even if Barry County were guilty of non­ attainment, cuts of funds and bans on con­ struction would not be immediate. "They’re (the EPA) not going to just cut someone out." Sawyer sad. "The EPA publishes the list and then counties have 90 days for comments (either submitting any new monitoring data or showing how they are correcting the remaining problems) " Schroeder also said sanctions are not imposed "right away". “Were (the DNR and EPA) going to reevaluate the in­ formation. including the new monitoring data" he said. The EPA receives information on air pollution from the state DNR who in turn, receives it from local personnel. City’s hospitalization insurance cost jumps 27 percent for 1983 It will cost the city of Hastings $18,186 more in 1983 to provide the same type of hospitalization insurance as this year for city employees and retirees. The Hastings City Council Monday ap­ proved the 27 percent increase in yearly hospitalization coverage, renewing the Blue Cross-Blue Shield insurance through the Southfield-based Yeager Co. Councilwomen Mary Lou Gray, chairman of the council's insurance committee, said the renewal quote amounted to $86,154, up from $67,968 paid this year for the same benefit plan. The city's current policy ex­ pires Jan. 1. "The increase reflects a 27 percent in­ crease based on our claims experience.” she said. "While we are 11 percent of the fund and 11 percent of the claims experience is charged against the city, the balance is pooled," Mrs. Gray said. During the period of Jan. 1 through November 31 of this year, she said, the city had paid insurance premiums of $63,248 while the claims during that time amounted to $90,505.56. "That’s a deficit of $37,670.38. “1 checked to see if there was any other company that provides the same coverage because our union contracts call for Blue Cross-Blue Shield or equivalent. No company provides the same coverage. Two companies come close, but do not provide identical coverage," said Mrs. Gray. A breakdown of the current policy amounts to a city expense of $88.50 per family per month for insurance. Under the increased rate, the city will pay $112.18 per family per month. Insurance with another company, com­ parable to Blue Cross-Blue Shield, would cost the city $130-140 per family per month, she reported to the council. In other business, the council granted permission for Police Chief Mark Sleinfort to attend the Mid-Winter Police Chiefs Con­ ference in Grand Rapids, Feb. 2-4. Steinfort will drive back and forth from the conference each day. but the council agreed to pay his costs for meals and travel in ad­ dition to the pre-registration fee of $70 “I think it’s good for the chief to keep up with what others are doing and he might bring back ideas that might save us money, said Councilman Gordon Bennett in making the recommendation to approve the con­ ference expense. Surratt sent back to district court in stabbing case Rodney Bernard Surratt, 31, of Battle Creek, was remanded back to Barry County District Court Wednesday for the Nov. 30 stabbing deaths of two elderly sisters in Prairieville. No date has been set for that hearing. Surratt, at his Dec. 14 arraignment in District Court, was bound over to circuit court after he refused the service of an at­ torney. and waived preliminary exam. However, Surratt’s attorney, Dave Tripp of Hastings, asked for a preliminary exam for his client Surratt is charged with two counts of firstdegree murder, two counts of felony murder first-degree, and one count of robbery. If convicted, he could receive five life terms in prison. Surratt is one of two suspects in the rob­ bery murder that left Frances Youngs and her sister, Helen Mott dead in Mrs. Youngs’s Parker Rd. home. Police arrested Kevin Grote, 25, in his Kalamazoo home Dec. 6. Police say Grote had worked for Mrs. CPublic Opinion Youngs cutting- and stacking wood last September, and had showed up at her house ’’unexpectedly” five days before Thanksgiving. Both men also face charges brought by Kalamazoo authorities for the Dec. 1 armed robbery of Serafinas Liquor Store in Richland. Cigaret may have started house fire Hastings firefighters say a cigaret may be responsible for a fire that destroyed a twostall garage on Carlton Centei Rd. Wed­ nesday night. Firefighters responded to the 11:16 p.m. alarm at the Aaron Doroff residence, 251 Carlton Center Rd. A truck, car and the 20foot by 40-fool garage were all reported heavily damaged. No damage estimate, though, is available at this time. ...by Ken Reibel PERSONAL CONCERNS FOR THE NEW YEAR Manufacturing, continued from page 1 "Hastings Manfacturing Co. is the only piston ring manufacturer that has its entire operation at one single location covered by one collective bargaining agreement," Witham said. Johnson also said that the company told the union at the start of negotiations in September that it was making a profit, but that concessions were necessary for the company to stay profitable in the future. “I would be embarrassed to work for a company that wasn’t making a profit,” Johnson said. "Nobody would want to work for a company that isn’t making money." Witham said that the wage and benefit package for the 377 union employees in Hastings exceeds $20 per hour. “Our direct filter competitors have a total wage and benefit package cost of $8 to $9 per hour,” Witham said. Witham said that some of his comparison figures with other com­ panies were based on actual information and others were based on best estimates of wages. Witham also said that all of the firm's major competitors are located outside of Michigan. Johnson added that Michigan’s tax structure itself is part of the company's competitive problem, but that is not the fault of anyone in Hastings. Johnson said a relocation committee has been established since last summer. Though Banner Send Form P.S. 3579 to P.O. Box B Sawyer added that most of the counties in his 5th District have been in compliance with the Clean Air Act for "at least the last three years’’. Sawyer said he checked with the EPA, following publication of the media reports^ and found after a couple of calls that the agency was using 1978 information. "I don’t know how it (the information) came out that way," Sawyer said. "It was very misleading the way it came out, whoever was at fault." The congressman also disputed statements in those reports saying that the threat to cut off highway funding "may, in part, be a political ploy by the Reagan administration to ease federal air pollution restrictions". Quoting DNR officials and the Nation Clean Air Coalition, the news reports sa>d that the administration might be talking tough to force Congress to pass weakening amendments to the Clean Air Act. The law has been up for review for two years, but Congress is still deadlocked over ad­ ministration attempts to loosen restrictions on polluters. The sources also implied that loss of the millions of dollars in highway funds, plus bans on constructing new factories that emmit such pollutants, would erode support for maintaining current standards and penalties. “It isn’t a political ploy,” Sawyer stated flatly. "It doesn’t make sense. If it was, they would have done it a month ago when Congress was in session. We’re adjourned now. The new Congress won’t turn out anything meaningful (on the act) before March." He noted as well that Congress would have found out the list was dated. Most of the Michigan counties, including Barry, were cited in the 1978 EPA report for having an unacceptable level of ozone pollution. That polluU-nt, according to /.lenert-n (USPS071-830) 1952 N.

Johnson said the firm does 60 percent of its business in filters, but the major moneymaker is the piston ring business. “As you can gather by the wage dif­ fer ntial," Johnson said, "there isn't the profitability (in filters).’’ On Feb. 1, the contract will expire. The company has sent the union notification that it plans to terminate the agreement on that date. Turnes said. He added that every one of the company's private brand customers has asked for a price concession this year. The firm manufactures filters for a number of private labels. Johnson pointed out that the change from eight cylinder to four cylinder automobiles has resulted in a substan. ial reduction in the number of piston rings sold "Again, we haven't made any decisions (on relocation," Johnson said “We don't have many alternatives without some change in the contract.

Marie Gillons: Gillons* main message is one of faith and optimism. "I work at the Hastings Manufacturing Co., and my greatest concern right now is what the factory's going to do. I certainly hope it doesn’t pull out...The unemployment «s bad, but if we all hang in there it’s going to get better...If we nave love for our fellow man, everything will be fine."

I’ll shovel sidewalks, or sweep streets or anything." Elwin Wood: "Nuclear war," says the Hastings fifth-grader. "It could blow us all up.

In fact, there were times when doctors con­ demned “bathing the body all over at one time." The Romans are credited with the in­ troduction of the first hot steam baths, but these apparently were more for relaxing and improving health than for cleanliness This tytx? of bath consisted of three phases relaxing in a warm room, steaming in another, and finally cooling in the last phase It was felt that hot steam was a cure for any ailment. The people of many old countries, as well as some American Indians, believed in and built steam houses. The most common method for creating steam was to build a brick or stone oven in the center of a building. When the owner felt a cold or fever coming on. all he had to do was build a fire in the oven. On top he placed a large container of water, and one of stones or rocks. When the water was heated, it was poured over the rocks, creating clouds of steam. Benches w < re built around the wall so by the time the steam was at full peak, the nude or draped patients were sitting or lying on the benches. In cities, large Turkish bath-houses were built. Women did not frequent these pubis'* baths, and there were Turkish and Vapor baths for home use. During the 1890s. at least half-a-dozen companies advertised these "use-at-home" Turkish baths. Prices ranged from $3.50 to $12.50 each, with the average price around, $5.00. These “at home’ baths allowed the person to sit in a cabinet with only the head exposed, while a burning lamp placed under the oc­ cupant’s chair caused profuse perspiration. It was believed that this type bath would not only give the ladies youth and vigor, but was a cure-all for every ailment from rheumatism to liver and kidney problems. This type of cabinet bath was made by the 1. World Manufacturing Co. of Cincinnati, Ohio. The first colonists bathed when they were near streams. Those living in settlements began to realize the need for cleanliness and often took baths in large wooden wash tubs used for laundry. The practice of bathing evolved to the point that everybody bathed on Saturday night to be clean for the Sabbath on the following day The system of bathing in creeks and springs during warm weather, and in large wooden tubs behind the kitchen stove in winter, continued in the rural areas well into the 1900s. Since it was difficult to carry and heat enough water for each family member, it was not unusual for the entire family to bathe in the same water. The trend to more and more cleanliness was beginning, so the "two-baths-a-week" practice developed. More ingenious men. realizing the need for belter bath facilities, began to devise better ways to get them. One farsighted Kentucky plantation owner put a tank on the roof of the house so the sun could heat the water. Finally in the 1800s, a tub was invented strictly for bathing. Some were long enough for sitting comfortably, while others were little more than foot tubs. There was one type built only to bathe the feet, as it was believed to cure colds, fever, and a host of other ailments. During this time, homeowners were also installing a sort of '.'built-in" bathtub They were "made of wood” with tin linings. This was the type used by the Kentucky plantation owner who devised the tank on the roof. The tank was over the room with the built-in tub so the water was easily piped down. Among the many special types of bathtubs built during this period was one called a "hip” tub. It could be used for bathing, but was believed to be more useful for fevers. The patient sat in the tub filled with hot water with both his feet and head, and shoulders exposed while his middle was liberally covered with woolen blankets. This was then a modem version of the old steam or Turkish bath and was supposed to have wonderful curative powers. The next type tub was the “porcelain full body" size. These sat on little short legs. Some were very decorative with ornate porcelain scrolling on the front side These were in use in most homes until after World War II in the 1940s. Some are still in use in older homes, and are being sought today for restoration purposes. We use the bathtub today, not so much for our personal health, but for the well being of those around us.

A Battle Creek man died July 9 when his 1977 Thunderbird struck a semi-trailer rig on M-66 neor Butler Rd He was one of the 19 persons killed on county roads in 1982. (Banner Photo) Multiple fatals account for high area death toll A total of 19 persons lost their lives on county roads in 1982, six more than last year, and the highest number killed in Barry County in at least six years. One reason for the increase is a high number of multiple fatal accidents occurring on county roads in 1982. The 19 deaths came in 12 separate mishaps during year, for an average of about 1.6 killed per fatal accident. Statewide last year. 1,589 died in 1,453 accidents, for in average 1.09 killed per accident. The exact number killed statewide per fatal accident is not available for this year. Sgt. Richard Zimmerman of the Michigan State Police team in Hastings says many of those deaths could have been avoided if the person had been wearing occupant restraints at the time of the mishap. He also points out that alcohol played a role in many of the year's fatal accidents. According to state police statistics, 1,356 persons have been killed on Michigan roads through Dec. 28 of this year, 220 below last year's total to date, and 233 below the total number killed in 1981. With only a few day’s to go. Michigan's 1982 death toil will certainly be well below the number for last year. State Police study shows Michigan traffic mishaps down in 1981 Traffic deaths, injuries and accidents reported all declined in 1981 from the previous year, according to a report just released by the Michigan State Police. Among other things, the 56-page report, titled "Michigan Traffic Accident Facts, 1981", reveals: — There were 1,589 persons killed on Michigan roads in 1981, down 10.4 percent from the 1980 mark, and the lowest mark since 1962. — A total of 136,455 persons were injured in 302,831 reported motor vehicle accidents during the year. Compared with 1980, in­ juries decreased 5.9 percent, and total reported accidents decreased 5.9 percent. — Rural areas accounted for a third of all traffic deaths. 41 percent of ali injuries, and 40 percent of all accidents. In explaining the lower accident rate, state police officials point to several factors, in­ cluding the lower speed limit, a "slower paced economy in some sectors" high vehicle operating costs and the on going traffic safety efforts of police and other agencies. Officials point out that Michigan's death rate per 100 million miles travelled has been driven downward from an ali-time high of 16.8 in 1935 to 2.6 for 1981, an all-time low for the state. "A multi-factored effort may be credited with this overall improvement and rests largely on some rather exhaustive par­ ticipation by several disciplines," states the report, "Improved highway engineering techniques, technical advances in automobile design and manufacturing, emergency medical treatment, better trained drivers and the efficient use of selective enforcement have all been responsible for this better experience.” The report states that driver error is the cause of most accidents. "Without any particular priority, enforcement in­ vestigation shows irresponsible attitude, lack of skill, inattention, fatigue, physical impairment, lack of knowledge and failure to drive defensively as accident-producing factors.” The report adds that more experienced driver "compensates for many of these self­ induced mistakes, drawing on learned skills and experiential techniques." Though 24.3 percent of all drivers in 1981 were under the age of 25, 33 percent of the drivers involved in fatal accidents in 1982 belonged to that age group, according to the study. And contrary to myth, women drivers were involved in less thar a third of all ac­ cidents last year.

December 30. 1982__Page 7 Local man tells about Irving Charlton ‘Life & times of Irving Charlton’ Continued from Page 1 By Elaine Gilbert With his gift of 299 acres of land, the late Irving Charlton has left a legacy to Barry County that already has touched thousands of persons and will be around to make an impact on future generations. It wasn't only land. Charlton bequeathed to the county his treasure house of historical artifacts, housed in a modest stone museum in the heart of what is now known as Charlton Park Village & Museum. Although many have visited the park, not many people know much about the man for whom it is named That's what motiviated Keith Mead of Hastings to pen his | recollections of Charlton, a man with whom he was associated for 27 years. Mead’s continuing series of articles, en­ titled “The Days and Times of Irving Charlton." will be featured in the Banner during the coming weeks. "Who else would write it?" Mead asked during a recent interview. ’Almost everyone who knew Charlton is gone.” he said. , In his project to write a biography of Charlton to preserve memories of the man for the future, Mead modestly says, "I’m not a writer and I didn’t try to flower it up. "I just tried to write it in a readable, in­ teresting way," he said. The series is particulary timely, Mead Keith Mead, author of the series about Irving Charlton, was an associate and said, because "Charlton was born 100 years friend of Chorlton's for 27 years. ago this year." Charlton died at the age of 80 on June 12 Banner photo 1963.

Citizen Survey says the Barry Intermediate School (Delton and Hastings school District district residents) to a variety of questions about public education. The local citizens were selected at random and interviewed last October in a telephone survey called Project Outreach, sponsored by the State Board of Education and funded by the State Legislature. Project conducted Outreach in a surveys number have of been intermediate school districts in the stale. The survey’s purpose is aimed at improving the public’s confidence in education. All the opinions gathered will be used to help state officials strengthen public education and to make plans for the decade, according to Project Director Ned S. Hubbell who prepared the written report from which this article is derived). In the recent local citizens' opinion poll, two-thirds of the responses about the biggest problems of local boards of education cen­ tered on school financial woes.

There are those who thought Irving was wealthy but that was not true, as he paid interest right up until 1950 51. To be able to give a clear title of the park land, he mor­ tgaged his farms. Until he sold his 280 acre farm in September 1950, cash money was a bit scarce. In writing of his farms, they are: The 120 acre farm where the square stone house now stands about four miles from Hastings on the east Center Road on the north side of the road, formerly owned by Frank Charlton. Irving's father. The 160 acres west and adjoining the 120 acre farm Irving bought from Robert Martin tn the early 1920s. On the southwest comer of Center Road and Charlton Park Road are 10 acres of woods Irving also owned. In both farms, there were 280 acres. In 1945, he purchased 65'.3 acres on Cogswell Road on the north side of Thornappie Lake and called it Pleasant Shores. His purpose as he said was to develop it as lots to sell and build another museum over on the park. To purchase this land, he borrowed the money from a local doctor and paid in­ terest on it until 1950. After selling his farms to Warren and Arvilla Bolton in September of 1950, he moved over to the park and con­ structed the living quarters and shop down by the river. I was living on and operating his farms at that time and had been there living with my family in the white house (west of his stone house), from March 1946. After selling his farms and getting some ready money, he bought the Scott farm on the corner of Charlton Park Road and M-79, "All other problems that were mentioned received minimal mention in comparison with concerns over school system financial problems," saidNedS. Hubbell who directed the telephone survey as part of Project Outreach. In the statewide opinion survey conducted through Project Outreach last year, a cross­ section of Michigan citizens also identified school financing as the biggest problem of their local board of education. "Two-thirds of the mentions to this open-end question focused on budget problems, finances, and school millage needs," he said. In addition to financial woes, citizens in­ terviewed in the Hastings school district listed the following as their board of educations biggest problems: 13.8 percent said teacher negotiations. 5.3 percent said administrators; 3.1 percent said extra­ curricular activities; 3.1 said discipline; 2.7 percent said curriculum cuts; 1.8 percent said busing problems and concerns; .9 percent said closing schools; 3.1 percent said other miscellaneous problems; and 21.3 said they couldn't say. In Delton, besides budget and finance problems, respondents selected the following as what they saw as the board’s biggest problems: 3.8 said teacher negotiations; 1.3 said administrators. 6.4 said extra­ curricular activities; 3.8 said discipline; 1.3 said curriculum cuts; 2.6 said busing problems and concerns; 2.6 mentioned miscellaneous problems; and 25.6 said they couldn't say.

HASTINGS - Albert (Dyke) Dykstra, 87, formerly of Hastings, died Wednesday, December 29, 1982, at the Veteran’s Facility in Grand Rapids. Funeral services will be held Friday, Dec. 31, at 3 p.m. from the DeVries Funeral Home. 1204 Eastern S.E., Grand Rapids. Rev. Roger Timmerman will officiate with burial in Georgetown Cemetery in Ottawa County. He was bom April 7, 1895 in Hudsonville, the son of Abel and Sarah Dykstra. He was a member of the Middleville Christian Reformed Church. Mr. Dykstra is survived by his brother. Lamber and Oda Dykstra of Hudsonville; a sister, Edith and Donald Drost of Grand Rapids; a sister-in-law Mrs. Helen Dykstra and a brother-in-law, Edward Pikaart. south of the park; this he broke up into parcels and sold. His one and only interest was to get more money to buy more relics, which he did. He spent very little on himself. However, contrary to popular belief, he liked to eat well, and did, as far as a bachelor could. He may not have been tc "keen on dishwashing", but he had what he iiked. Mr. Charlton appeared very abrupt and even gruff sometimes, but he had a heart as big as a barrel. Once Irving got out of debt and sold some lots, etc . he did begin to accumulate some money; not a lot in these inflated times, but quite a bit then. He loaned some out at in­ terest and sold lots on land contracts at Pleasant Shores and the Scott place. I bought my home, where I now reside, from him in 1951. I read in accounts written about his estate that he had property in the west. Yes, he did. I believe it was 160 acres in Wyoming which some rancher paid the small taxes on for the use of it. How he came to own it was that years ago a land promoter came through the country selling photos of land in the west as they advertise even today and Charlton bought it later from a neighbor. Charlton never sold the land until the 1940s when he took a trip out there and saw it. He told me it was mostly gravel and sagebrush, but he kept it for the fun of it. He also had the oil and mineral rights. To the many who may wonder why he gave all the time, land, antiques and money to us all of Barry County, it was given in memory of his parents, which he dearly loved and respected. He also had other relatives whose memory was dear to him, especially his uncles, Calvin Charlton, Will Charlton, and Clarence Charlton. Irving was an only child of E. Frank and Roseanna (Althouse) Charlton, born August 28. 1882. T.ie park and its contents were given to honor and perpetuate the memory of the Indians and early pioneers of the area, which he loved also. Irving Charlton loved children and wanted to have some of his own but for some reason was denied that privilege. Yes. he had been married, and divorced many years ago in the early teens and twenties, it was a matter he discussed very little. However, neighbors and friends who knew Mrs. Charlton (Gertrude), said she was a fine, well-educated lady. Mrs. Hamilton Munn, a neighbor who lived near the Frank Charltons on the Center Road, corresponded with her until her death many years ago, long before Irving passed away. I never saw or knew her and only wish I could have known her. Irving Charlton was a very unassuming person and expected very little recognition for himself, only respect. He was always helpful to anyone in need. While teaching in Pullman. Wash., at the State College there, he helped many students financially to be able to stay in college, who otherwise would have had to drop out. The only stipulation being that when they were able after graduating, they help another student to graduate and that would be all the returns he wanted and he said it worked well. After returning to Barry County in the early 1920s, he was always active in main­ taining the then farmer rural telephone lines. Even into the 1940s, he taught rural school 4H club students handicraft in his shop. He was always active in school or township business. Frank Charlton, his father, was on the school board in earlier days and also Hastings Township road commissioner. In the 1950s. as Irving and I were discussing wages paid then in the shops of $2 00-$3.00 an hour, he said, "and to think as a college professor for all those years the most I received was $2,220.00 a year." Up to enlisting in World War I. Although he did not always agree with what others did or thought and some did not like him, whether they called him Mr. Charlton, Irving, I.D., old Irvie, or worse perhaps, they still had to respect him as he was a man who commanded respect. Irving loved the birds and animals and went to great lengths to build feeders and buy corn and grind it for the.n. In the 1940s. on the farm he built a cage about 10-12 ft. square and 8-10 ft. high and had several raccoons in it near the east large window in the stone house. He would watch their antics from inside his house. He had a hollow log standing upright in the pen. also a swing made from a tire and they would play in and out of both. At night they could be heard chattering and squalling loudly as they played or fought. He enjoyed feeding them by hand and scratching their ears and bellies as they seemed to enjoy it. However, one day. a large buck coon bit completely through his thumb and that was not so good. He later turned them loose in the park. In earlier years, he had a large flock of Mallard ducks. He would feed and call to them and they would come flying from as far as they could hear him. After moving to the park, he continued feeding the birds and animals up to his death. Mr. Charlton seldom wore anything in later years but bib overalls or work clothing, and many were misled by his outward appearance and his ever present brown paper cigarette (seldom lit) and his 10 cent store spectacles. But he would appear in a much different light once one talked to him. He had a very profound interest in all that went on around him and was a highly intellectual person. Irving was a very unassuming man and did not care for attention to himself but only wanted respect for what he was. a man of the highest integrity and moral ethics. Irving Charlton professed no religion but was neither an atheist or agnostic. He en­ joyed listening to sermons from his radio, and knew as anyone with any sense at all that there was a great power ahead of it alL In the "sugar bush" when boiling sap, he always wanted to get back to the house in time to hear the “Lone Ranger" and the news. He enjoyed a good movie or show and attended many. He at first did not want a television as he said "I cannot read and watch it." However, in later years, Jim Conner set one up for him and he enjoyed it very much. He always respected these who did profess a religion and went to great lengths to see that it was possible for the Indians and whites to have their respective ceremonies at an Indian or Pioneer Picnic at the park. He also enjoyed the hymns sang and the sermons preached. Series continued next week Thank You... May all your joys be multiplied many times over in the New Year.

Thursday. December 30, 1932 — Page 10 Furrow reviews first half of Saxon wresting season by Steve Vedder Despite having five 'o six freshmen starters in every meet, the Hastings wrestling team has still managed a 3-5 record. But according the coach Dave Furrow, the team is about to embark on the harder part of it's season. "Usually the second half of the season in wrestling is more difficult because the more experienced wrestlers are now tuned up," notes Furrow. “They've pobshed their moves and ex­ perience is going to win matches for them now. In the first part of the season con­ ditioning could win matches." This, Furrow admits, is where his young Saxon team is going to run into problems. With so many freshmen in the lineup, the team is going to have to mature in a hurry if it is going to reach Furrow’s goal of a .500 season. Furrow notes the Hastings team so far has lost three meets by a single match. If one more match could have been won in any of the meets, Furrow says the results of the meet would have been reversed. "That tells me the freshmen have been competitive," says Furrow. “I have been Last year’s first born had a busy year... satisfied with the freshmen. As far as the team as a whole. 1 have been satisfied, but I don't think we've been progressing as rapidly as we should be." Furrow says the only recourse for him as coach is to stress move execution, rather than io try to learn new moves. He says if they can perfect the moves they all readv know, the wrestlers should be able to win. Bill Madden (98-pound class) and Dave Kensington < 198) have the best individual records on the team at 10-3. Madden has seven pins and Kensington six. Heavyweight George Ruffner is at 7-3 with seven pins. Don Goodenough and Hutch Clason have placed in both of Hastings tournaments to •late. Goodenough has a 9-7 record and Clason is 9-6. One bright spot for the team. Furrow says, is that Larry Hoffman is healthy from an early season injury. Hoffman will wrestle in the 167 pound weight class enabling Jess Reaser to return to the 155 pound class, for which he’s better suited. Furrow says his team still could reach his preseason goal of a .500 season. "It s just going to take the boys working a little extra hard on their moves," says Furrow. MHSAA announces state tourney sites and assignments Sora Foye Capers. Barry County's first born in 1982. is walking and talking a bit and teody to give the New Year's Baby title to the first child bom In 1983. By Elain- Gilbert Little Sara Faye Capers is walking and talking and ready to celebrate her first birth­ day. That means she’s also just about ready to relinquish her title of "New Year’s Baby" to a new little infant when 1983 is ushered in. Sara, daughter of Faye and Dan Capers of Center Rd., Hastings, was the first baby born in 1982 in Barry County. Consequently, she was the winner of the Banner’s annual baby contest and received many gifts from local merchants. “It was just like going Christmas shopping without spending any money," Mrs. Capers said of the $150 worth of gifts bestowed upon the family because of Sara’s timely birth. She was born right on the button — on •January 1 at 8:28 am., weighing in at sixpounds and 12 ounces and measuring 19inches. The title of New Year’s Baby .s awarded to the first baby bom within the boundaries of the county to parents of county residents in each new year. “It's the first time in several years that a baby has been born here right on the first day (of January),’’ said Mrs. Capers. It’s been quite a year for little Sara. She now sports 10 pearly white teeth and she took her first steps on Thanksgiving Day at her grandparents’ house, said her mother. “Sara went right across the room. A-83-1 Z-83-1 “She says Nana, Mama, DaDa, and Ack (for her baby sitter Jack). When the goat comes on the porch she goes to the window and points at it. She loves the horse we’ve got. and when she wants to go out, she goes over to the door and puts her hand on the knob," sa d Mrs. Capers. Sara's six and a half year-old sister, Deanna, and five-year-old brother, James, are excited about celebrating their baby sister's birthday on Saturday. Sara’s paternal grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Mauri Hammond of Hastings and paternal great-grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Wood, also of Hastings. The baby's maternal grandmother. Anne Keller, resides iri Florida. As Sara gives up her reign, there are 26 gifts from Barry County merchants waiting for the 1983 New Year’s Baby. The 1983 baby and family will be showered with gifts that will include a balloon bouquet, an imprinted infant T-shirt, a baby cup, a first book, a haircut and style for Mom or Dad, slippers for Mom, a nightgown for Mom, a floral arrangement, a vaporizer, a $5 savings account, a framed miniature por­ trait, baby books, baby shoes, baby ring, a Christmas Club account, terry infant sleepers, a one-year subscription to the Banner, and a number of $5 and several $10 gift certificates for merchandise.

Kellogg Bird Sanctuary near Augusta has a number of waterfowl species, including geese and swans, on Wintergreen Lake. They provide great opportunities for the bird­ watcher. Now is the time to dust off the ice fishing gear, replace lines, sharpen the spud or auger, and replace hooks. Archers are beginning to see a few more dew as they congregate in their wintering areas. The Christmas to New Year period should prove fruitful for those wishing to brave the elements. Area ski resort will not reopen this winter can think of is Swiss Valley near Niles, but they get a lot of storms right off the lake. They’re in the snow belt. “We have a lot of storms go either north or south of us." Wiersum said three of the four weekends last January — a peak month for skiingwere not conducive for good skiing, and much of the resort's anticipated business was lost. ’That just killed us," said Wiersum of the January weather. In 1980 the resort was forced to close in February when the weather turned and then stayed unseasonably warm. "It was great weather for golf courses, but not for us,” recalled Wiersum. Wiersum said he believes the closing of the resort will be a loss to the community. “I think the resort was an asset to the community and the closing makes me sick to think about," he said. "We put a lot of time and money into it, but it’s like hitting your head against the wall. You just have to step back after while." The Middleville Ski Resort will not be reopening it's slopes to skiiers this winter. According to Bob Wiersum, one of the resort’s owners, the resort has failed to show any kind of a profit over the last four winters, and as a result will not be opening this year and will be be put up for sale. Wiersum said he was disapointed with the failure of the resort to make money. "Very much so," he said. “It’s a beautiful h’ll. You can see the whole village and much of the outlying area from there. It’s as pretty of a place as you could find to ski." A fire at the resort in 1969 closed the doors until 12 Middleville businessmen purchased the resort four years ago. Renovation work on the resort was completed and it reopened in 1978. But Wiersum said the resort has lost money each winter since the opening, due mainly to a lack of good skiing weather. “The weather has been the whole thing,” said Wiersum. “It’s a real gamble for any ski resort this far south.

The Saxons split their four matches in the tourney. The Saxons placed fourth in the tour­ nament. Wayland took first, Eaton Rapids second and Otsego third. Other placers were Greenville in fifth, Lowell in sixth. Bellevue in seventh and Delton in eighth place. "I was very pleased for it being our first match," noted Hastings coach Tom Freridge of his team's overall play. "I thought we played our offense well."' The Hastings opened play in the morning with 15-6 and 15-5 wins over Otsego. "We were ready for that match and we played well," said Freridge. “We were on top of things and just outplayed them.” Hastings lost it’s second match to a tough Eaton Rapids team, 15-10 and 15-8. The Saxons rebounded from that loss in their third match of the day to beat Lowell 1510, 13-15, and 15-5 Freridge said his team suffered a break­ down in serving against Lowell in the second game. "We just weren't concentrating," ad­ mitted Freridge. After the Lowell match, Hastings wasn't scheduled to play for an hour and a half. Freridge said after the break his team just couldn’t come back mentally As a result they lost to Otsego 15-8,15-6 to close out their play in the tournament. “We just weren’t up for match mentally," said Freridge. "Otsego has a lot of seniors and they came back well. You have to give them credit." Freridge said he war happy with the in­ dividual play of Jackie Jaynes, who as Freridge noted, “is the person who always digs the ball out of the net for us. ” He was also happy with the play of his two starting setters Amy Stark and Tammy Connor. "They did a fine job all dav." said Freridge. Winter deer congregate in ‘deer yards’ by John Lerg, DNR Winter, with its deep snow and bone­ chilling cold, is very hard on wild animals. They have many different ways of coping with the winter elements. One thing that deer do is congregate in "deer yards” for the winter. Deer yards are areas of low growing trees, either evergreens or hardwoods, that deer use for cover. Up north when deer go into yards, they traditionally utilize cedar swamps. Throughout southern Michigan, deer do not cluster as tightly as they do in the cedar swamps. However, they do move to areas of lowland trees and brush often along streams. Deer yards offer several things to deer. \ ards generally remain a couple of degrees warmer than the surrounding countryside because of the insulating effect of the trees. They break the force of the wind and cut down on wind chill. The branches of the trees also hold off some of the dampness that falls each morning and evening. The headwaters of the Thomapple River in northeastern Barry County is an important deer yarding area in southern Michigan. In the winter, it is home for thousands of deer. Pilots have followed deer trails to the area leading from as far away as eastern Eaton. Ionia, and Kent counties. After winter breaks, the deer disperse again to their summering areas where they will bring up their fawns.

Rcidant named to post on Barry County Social Services Board last week Kenneth Radant, chairman of the Barry County Board of Commissioners for the past three years and a board member for the past 14 years, will wear a new hat in 1983. Radant, who did not seek reelection to the board of commissioners and who's term expires Dec. 31, was appointed by Governor Milliken’s office to the vacancy on the Barry County Social Services Board. He will take over for Rae Hoare. Radant's appointment came, in part, from a strong lobbying effort by state Representative Don Gillmore (R-55th District). ”1 wrote a letter on his behalf to the governor’s office,” said Gillmore “They had the letter for about a month and in the rush to make the appointments that didn't need senate confirmation, they sent all the letters to Social Service Director Nobel Kheder. The decision to appoint Radant came from Kheder although the names (for ap­ pointments) had the governor office's ap­ proval.” Gillmore said he has a close working relationship with Kheder and that it was ‘not difficult to get (Radant's) appointment once he (Kheder) knew of my interest ”, The state legislator praised Radant’s qualifications for the post. ”He’s clearly had a long, very distinguished career of public service both in elected and appointed of­ fices,’’ Gillmore noted “I’m sure he will do a good job. He has had long experience in the social service area.'

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.
